Starting point is 00:01:02 They just finish narrative, like, you know, police are racist, this and that.

Starting point is 00:02:16 up yeah it's crazy i just you know for the most part i just have fun and shit posts obviously i share my real opinions but sometimes you know my people exaggerate because exaggeration is fun on twitter that's what goes viral so it's gonna have fun on there and it's blowing up the last year or two it's cool to see you just be able to voice your opinions freely though yeah it's great and i still get spent i still get to spend it occasionally before i was like spend it all the time before elon bought it and uh my page had stopped growing i was badly shadow banned i could just tell like it was barely worth tweeting because nothing would ever go by stuff would rarely go viral and there's like no growth for like for a good year and a half then elon bought it and put on you know half a million followers at
Starting point is 00:02:51 it since elon bought it damn shout out to elon no it's cool though because with pro athletes you never got to see their true side um because of all the censorship but now i feel like it's a new era yeah it's great i actually wish i was using twitter when i was fighting i just had my manager run it you know yeah after fighting i started fucking around politics and I realized that you know I wish I'd doing some fighting because it gets your word out Let's people see your real personality can help grow fans, but when I was fighting I was just so laser focused on fighting I didn't pay attention to other stuff. Yeah back I wish I did because that's how you market yourself and make money. Yeah, a lot of athletes go broke after yeah
Starting point is 00:03:22 It's sad seeing the uh it's actually less than fighting some other sports surprisingly oh really opposite yeah you think fighting would be the worst a lot of guys have like college degrees and they're smarter so a lot of guys get into other business so i've definitely seen a few friends go broke and it sucks but overall a lot of my friends are actually doing really well and you know maybe not like crazy rich but majority of the guys are at least like lower millionaires and stuff and you know some guys are multi millionaires i know doing well. You know what?
Starting point is 00:03:46 That's really impressive, actually, because the fighters get a bad rep for being underpaid. No, it's true. They are underpaid, but there's also a lot of backdoor money, especially on the high-end guys. So a lot of the low-end guys are really making those crap pays, but there's some hidden and backdoor money. And if you're smart, there's tons of sponsorship, other stuff. So, I mean, I made more money doing other stuff than just fighting. Oh, wow. From the sponsors. Yeah, from just sponsors and working with people, other stuff. So, I mean, I made more money doing other stuff than just fighting. Oh, wow. From the sponsors.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah, from just sponsors and working with people, you know, having fame. If you're smart, that can make all kinds of ways to make money. If you're not, then it doesn't. And you had a long streak, right? 15 straight wins. Yeah, I fought professionally for 20 years.
Starting point is 00:04:18 I had one streak where, yeah, I went 15 in a row winning, but that was against extremely good opponents. It wasn't like a padded record. It was 15 versus guys. It wasn't like a boxing 15. Yeah, I was beating in a row winning, but that was against extremely good opponents. It wasn't like a padded record. It was 15 versus guys. It wasn't like a boxing 15-0. Yeah, I was beating guys like Dan Henderson, Damian Maia, just going through just like studs in that 15-0. So yeah, I mean, Robbie Lawler in that batch.
Starting point is 00:04:37 So when you're on a streak like that, you're just so gung-ho and focused. That's why I wasn't really paying attention to politics, the outside world, wasn't really paying attention to politics the outside world wasn't really watching tv wasn't uh you know when you're doing that while fighting you're not really doing much else did you ever think it would end that streak uh it's you don't think it would end but you're just so confident when you're streaked like that yeah when you're going through uh you know using the ufc if you have a four fight four or five win streak that's considered
Starting point is 00:05:02 really good these days yeah but when you're on like 15 it's different if you're like fighting lower level guys but when it's 15 versus high level guys it's a crazy streak you just start feeling unbeatable you know because you're fighting top five top ten guys every fight there was a couple fights you know like dan henderson for example i went in like a four one underdog and just like smoked him i was just so confident damn yeah wait so how are you an underdog if you're on a winning streak i just think because he um he i moved up weight to fight him. Dan Henderson is an absolute killer. He was, you know, a huge name. It was, you know, the guy's a killer.
Starting point is 00:05:30 So that was one. I was usually the favorite, but that was one of the few that went in a big underdog. Dan Henderson, I mean, he is a savage. That was a scary fight to take. I bet. And moving up is already hard enough. Yeah. A lot of guys that move up these days lose.
Starting point is 00:05:41 Yeah, because it's big weight gaps in MMA. Boxing usually has seven pound weight gaps around. Yeah. But UFC, it's usually like 15. Yeah, because it's big weight gaps in MMA. Boxing usually has seven-pound weight gaps around. In fact, UFC usually is like 15. Holy shit. That's a big jump. I was fighting 170, and then jumped to 185. Everyone cuts a lot of weights. So it's like if you're fighting 170,
Starting point is 00:05:55 walking around, running 190. But then I jumped to 85. Kick off an exciting football season with BetMGM, an official sportsbook partner of the National Football League.

Starting point is 00:07:27 That's crazy. Who do you think the best fighter is right now, active fighter? That's always a possible question to answer. You know, there's so many good guys. Outside of the UFC, I'd like to say there's this guy, Pachi Mix, 135 pounder. Absolute beat on. I think he's, fortunately he's not in the UFC. He's a Bellator champ, but he's just smoking people.
Starting point is 00:07:46 So he's probably going to get signed. The UFC has been trying to sign him, but he's getting a lot of money at Bellator. Really? So I think he's getting like a million to fight or something at Bellator. I don't know the exact figures. I probably shouldn't be saying figures,
Starting point is 00:07:58 but I know he's getting a lot of money there. And most of the 135 pounders in UFC are making a hundred grand, a couple hundred grand. Probably the champ, Sugar Sean sean's probably making more than that they said they make it hard to know their exact contracts yeah a few money and stuff so sugar sean's probably making more than that but i would guess patchy's probably making more than any ufc 135 pounder other than sugar sean sean's done phenomenal at branding yeah he's done a great job and he's um he's a guy i'd hate i hate on a little bit in the past because he had a fairly padded record but his last few wins have been impressive man he's beating some really good guys he's done a great job and he's um He's a guy I'd hate I hate on a little bit the past he had a fairly padded record
Starting point is 00:08:25 But his last few wins have been impressive man. He's beaten some really good guys. He's earned my respect I can't I can't deny. He's good Wow. He has a really big fight with a morab. It's got morab coming up I don't know the date on that but that's that's gonna be a war. Yeah, he's still undefeated, right? Sure Sean, I believe is yeah, that's impressive. I think has maybe one or two losses, but he hasn't lost in a while Okay, killing people. Yeah. There's not many undefeated guys left in the UFC. It's, it's hard because UFC, they, like I said, they don't pad the records like boxing. A lot of times a boxer, if you're a prospect, they'll give you like, you know, 15, 20 easy fights to build up and then you'll start fighting good guys. Right. But a lot
Starting point is 00:08:59 of times they'll still avoid the best guys. They'll be like the management can pick the fights, but UFC, they tell you who to fight, which is, it makes it great. So all the best guys they'll be like the management can pick the fights but ufc they tell you who to fight which is it makes it great so all the best guys fight each other yeah and they don't don't view losses the same you know you can have a loss but you can bounce right back and boxing they're like oh you're not undefeated anymore so i think it's that's part of the reason why ufc's gotten so popular what did you think of ryan garcia getting banned from boxing for i think a year it was right yeah i just honestly don't know enough about it it seems um he tested positive for austrian or something it's not a steroid it's like a it's a weird like
Starting point is 00:09:32 peptide thing so it seems seems to me a little odd he would take that without um it seems like my guess would be it's probably a tainted supplement or something it's just a weird thing to take that's not really that strong of a performance answer yeah with knowing that you're taking this you think he would have some kind of doctors or chemists you know looking over him at the level he's fighting at so my guess is it's a faulty test but i can't say for sure wow did that ever happen to you like a tainted supplement thank god no but no friends it did you know damn i did one time took some shits uh a diuretic that someone's like you know some, some guy's like, oh, it's fine. You can take it.
Starting point is 00:10:06 And sure enough, it was banned. It was a minor thing, you know, a few months suspension, but still sucked, got fined, got suspended. Holy shit, just for trying to take a dump. Because it was a diuretic that pulled the waters out. So technically it's my fault for not researching it better because it was on the banned list. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Because we cut like 15, 20 pounds of water. Jesus. We did saunas and stuff but the diuretic just helped pull it out through like yeah that type of stuff but then i took it and it was a banned supplement but i think it wasn't near as serious as steroids i think it's like a three month suspension or something that's insane so you caught 15 pounds in a day yeah that's uh that's standard oh my god yeah it sucks but everyone's doing it so if you're not doing it you're fighting someone 15 pounds bigger than you so the theory behind it is if you get rid of it, you're just better?
Starting point is 00:10:48 Yeah, well, it gets tricky because you've got to cut weight. But sometimes if you overcut, you see guys gas out up there. So it's finding the perfect amount where you're big for your weight, but you're not overcutting. Because there's guys that cut like 25 pounds water. Jesus. Obviously, you've got to have a little more muscle to do that. There's actually guys that cut like 30 pounds.
Starting point is 00:11:08 What? Guys like Tyron Woodley. In a day? Because because they have so much muscle mass they can pull water out of there oh my god different body types like you're not huge in jack so you'd probably 15 pounds it'd probably be really tough for you but look at someone like tyron woodley they have so much muscle mass they can just pull it out wow that is nuts dude yeah it's pretty crazy like francis nugano like he fights heavyweight but he still cuts weight i imagine he can cut like 20 pounds like nothing because he has so much muscle mass. I can see that because he's already what, like 200-something pounds? 290. 290, yeah, that's a lot.
Starting point is 00:11:31 He has to drop down to 265. Yeah. When did you start getting into politics? Kind of a slow process. I was living in San Francisco, which is extremely left-wing, but I never really viewed myself hard you know, hard left or right. I didn't really pay much attention. I think I was maybe slightly left-leaning because, you know,
Starting point is 00:11:50 I was anti-war, pro-free speech. But then I remember I first was at this guy Milo Yiannopoulos or something. He's this, like, gay performer. He was out in Berkeley, and I was out there. I didn't know who he was. There was just, like, riots all over the street. So I actually ran out there. I fought. No one was helping me no one was helping guys trump sports were getting beat up on the ground so i went out fought a bunch of nativa guys off you know i helped this one guy through this guy in this uh i dragged him into a store a couple
Starting point is 00:12:16 middle eastern guys helped me to bring him in and i hear guys they're like knock the window out to get him and then i hear a guy goes oh it's a person of color store so that was kind of like a wait they're not gonna knock the window out because the them. And then I hear a guy goes, Oh, it's a person of color store. So that was kind of like a, wait, they're not going to knock the window out. Cause the person of color store, they would have for a white person. So that was kind of a wake up call. Oh. And the same thing after I helped one guy, I ran out to get cops and the cops told me, Oh, we're not allowed to go in there. They were given stand down orders by the, by the mayor. That's when I first started following a little politics. I'm like, shit's off. And then it was really forced on me when, um, when they closed down the country for COVID I was in San Francisco, my whole work was closed down. Like
Starting point is 00:12:49 I wasn't, uh, were you still fighting at the time? I had just stopped fighting. So it was the worst possible time. So I had like no work, nothing going on. I was like, I'm not a depressive person, but that's a close up into the press. You know, you stop fighting and they close down your work. San Francisco, I was living in an apartment, you know. You're paying like $4,000 for a little apartment. And you're like, I'm just sitting here. I have too much energy. I can't work. They closed down the hiking trails.
Starting point is 00:13:11 They closed down the beaches. It was just crazy. So it made me start following politics. Then once they got the vaccine, they told me, you know, I can't go to a restaurant. I can't go into any store without it. So it was pretty wild. You know, they forced the mass so heavy. And then during all
Starting point is 00:13:25 that the blm thing happened with george floyd and there's been riots over the street and they start being like oh no no this doesn't spread it but to me that was like man these people are just so full of it so that's i think that's actually when i started using twitter not not the most i was against the lockdowns against blm which were both extremely popular at the time yeah now they're both unpopular but at the time time, I got a lot of hate. Oh, yeah. But I felt like that was speaking truth and it had to speak my mind. So I just kind of, you know, I think my first tweets were probably almost all negative.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Nothing viral, but I just kind of kept tweeting and slowly started growing a political base. They got me with the BLM one, dude. I donated. Yeah, I mean, we all make mistakes. Looking back at it, I'm like, back at i'm like holy shit they did well with the uh the programming on that one they do great job programming stuff they just finish narrative like you know police are racist this and that not saying police aren't racist but as a whole it's you know if you look at it it's a lot more complicated than that you know i grew
Starting point is 00:14:19 up in a kind of a rough area mostly white you know mexican and stuff one of my best friends got shot like four times by the cops but but he was doing criminal shit so like if you're doing you know i've been beat up by the cops as soon as i started stopped hanging out with those people and doing criminal elements cops stopped harassing me so it gets a little bit it's a little less complicated you know look at all the situations i'm not i think it was terrible police work but the guy was you know he was high on fentanyl he was you know he was doing illegal shit it's not like they're attacking and beating up random people yeah i didn't like it out to be they hid the fentanyl part for a while i didn't like that yeah a good chance he may have even od'd or that was a
Starting point is 00:14:52 good or possibly a factor in it yeah i mean someone that studies jujitsu like to choke someone you have to come here's a carted artery this is where he put the blood out the officer had his had his knee on the back of his neck which i think that was an asshole thing to do i'm not trying to defend the guy but you don't choke someone right there. You choke them with coming upward into the carotid artery. Right, so it's impossible. I mean, it's probably possible, but it's way harder to choke someone out from the back. I would say it's impossible.
Starting point is 00:15:14 That's why they do the—he was doing the official training. That's how cops go all the time. Yeah. Even though I don't agree they should do that, I just don't believe they choked him out and they pushed this fake narrative that he was choked to death when you know even in the trial they didn't bring any like choking experts to discuss this they didn't bring anyone i don't think they wanted to win the trial i think they just accepted he was a sacrificial lamb wow you could have brought guys like me and we could have demonstrated that you can't choke that way but that's crazy i've never heard that take but that's important i didn't know that at the time either i looked it
Starting point is 00:15:43 up and they didn't bring any experts they brought some fighter that was not a jiu-jitsu expert, and he said they were choking him. But this is a guy that doesn't understand choking. For me, I've studied jiu-jitsu 30 years. I know exactly how to choke, where you got to put pressure, how you got to put pressure. And I can say with certainty where the knee was was not choking him out. That's insane.
Starting point is 00:15:59 Could have done other factors to kill him, maybe like some kind of panic attack or like that might have helped kill him, but he didn't kill him with a choke. Holy crap. And that event sparked so much divide. Oh, and it's crazy. Yeah. To me, it's crazy they didn't bring any jiu-jitsu experts to discuss the choke versus not choke, you know? That is pretty crazy.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Yeah. You think the police department or his lawyer would even want that? I think they wanted him to lose. His lawyer wanted him? It seemed like it. I don't think they put up a real case. I think they accepted that the country would burn if he got off, so they just kind of passed him away to, you know,
Starting point is 00:16:28 I don't know what he got, like life in prison or what. Damn, he got life? Shit. Maybe 30 years. It's a long time. Again, I think he was a bad cop. He maybe should have got something, but I think it should be more realistic.
Starting point is 00:16:39 I think we just accepted the country had gone crazy. We didn't want more riots, so give him 30 years. Maybe like two years or something. The guy already had his uh you know lost his job he's hated he didn't intentionally kill him i i think they i think they convicted him of first degree murder which would mean he had to intentionally kill him holy there's no way he intentionally set out to kill him yeah it didn't look intentional from the video no but just shows you like how crazy they were at the time that they'd given it that means you'd have to knowingfully tried to kill george floyd of course he didn he tried to kill George Floyd.
Starting point is 00:17:06 Of course he didn't try to kill him. I've lost faith in the justice system after seeing what happened to Trump, dude. Like it's actually scary because we're targeted. Like me and you, like we're targets for lawsuits. So it's pretty scary. It is really scary because we see it, you know, like I said, I don't consider myself hard to either sign, but I definitely lean conservative.
Starting point is 00:17:29 And it looks like they've weaponized the justice system against us without none of us really paid attention but you had guys like george soros was funding all these hardcore da's and judges and i don't really know how the appointment works but they're putting in all these judges that seem to be anti-conservative anti-white like the opposite you hear you know justice system used to work against black people but now it's going the opposite way like white conservative males and it's kind of uh kind of scary let's look at january 6th i mean i'm not gonna sit there and defend what they did but there's guys doing 30 years in prison for walking into the um to the what's it was white house yeah not the white house the um whatever it was whatever that building was i don't think it was the white house it was like where the congress is but there's guys doing 30 years in prison for that. There's no one from Black Lives Matter doing more than a couple months.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And they committed financial fraud, too. Like, they kept a ton of money. It just shows, like, the guy shouldn't have walked in there, but 30 years in prison? Nuts. That's absolutely insane. It's scary, dude. I mean, and the people we talk to and are friends with, we're all targeted by this. No, exactly.
Starting point is 00:18:21 I know I'm a political target, so I've got to be careful, particularly when you're in more left-leaning areas. more left leaning areas oh yeah dude I mean I saw your recent tweet about Austin private wealth that is crazy yeah that is crazy I don't I haven't done a lot of research on this so it's something I can't get too into I just saw someone else tweeted it that just uh yeah the Austin research I guess it's a big hedge fund or whatever yeah they did a big short versus like Trump's all of trunks Trump stock literally the day before the assassination, Tim. Crazy. Yeah, crazy.
Starting point is 00:18:48 And I guess they're big donors to like ADL and like Jewish organizations. I don't know. It's not enough information to know for sure what's going on, but it certainly warrants
Starting point is 00:18:56 an investigation that there was a major short sell against all the different Trump organizations the day before the assassination. They came out and said it was an accidental purchase.
Starting point is 00:19:05 Accidental purchase of multi, multi millions? 12 million. That doesn't really happen. Yeah, was it 12 million shares? But at what price? It's a lot more than $12 million. I think it's maybe a billion dollars. I don't know the funds.
Starting point is 00:19:15 I'm making up numbers. What, like a billion? They accidentally bought like a billion dollars? Yeah. Something's off there. Yeah, I don't believe that. Needs investigation. Been a lot of backlash.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Destiny got a lot of heat on Twitter. They're trying to demonetize him there. What do you about that i think destiny is a total scumbag but i don't know i think it's i think we should just kind of it's hard to say with the monetization because i understand can you put ads on people calling for the death of trump supporters but i obviously play the lines of free speech so i would it was up to me i would just leave everyone up there you know if it. If you're going within the laws, I know Destiny's going borderline within the laws, so I understand he's playing it really close, calling for mocking the death of Trump supporters.
Starting point is 00:19:53 But ultimately, I don't like the guy. I think he's a rotten person, but I think we allow him to just keep speaking so people can see how rotten he is. He just, yeah, he asked me to do his podcast a few months ago, and at first I responded, and I thought about it. I'm like, no, I don't want anything to do with this guy.
Starting point is 00:20:05 And looking at this, I'm glad I didn't. I wonder if he actually believes what he's saying or if he's just putting on a show. Yeah, that's what I was wondering too. I think he probably, some of it, someone had an interesting point that he lost a lot of his audience because he's hardcore pro-Israel, and a lot of his audience doesn't like the Israel-killing Palestinian kids,
Starting point is 00:20:22 but they hate Trump. So by him jumping in and calling to kill Trump, he might bring some of that audience back. Isn't that kind of sad? That's crazy. I didn't know he supported Israel. Yeah. He's like a leftist, but he's hardcore.
Starting point is 00:20:34 That's why all the right-wing people have bring them on their shows because they want a leftist that will defend Israel. Yeah, I think I sided with, I mean, it's hard to take a side, but I think Palestine. Yeah, I mean, things are complicated, of course. It's not black and white, but it's like I've been to Israel. I've done a lot of research.
Starting point is 00:20:52 Obviously, Palestine is not perfect, but ultimately it's fucked up what Israel is doing. They're just massacring. You know, I'm in a lot of those telegram channels. They're just massacring like 100 kids a day. Jesus. Randomly like bombing them. It's sick. And it's not like the thing is the land was Palestine in 1948,
Starting point is 00:21:08 and they just came in as refugees, and they started doing terrorist attacks, killing the people, massacring villages. They'll try putting this BS like, oh, this is always our land. That's completely a lie. The Jews that came and took it over are white, I think it was like Ukraine or Poland or something, and they go in trying to say that was always their land. Now there are Jews that are from the Middle East,
Starting point is 00:21:27 but the ones that came and took the land, they were typically more European Jews. Yeah. It's been interesting to see where people side on this. Yeah. It's, it is interesting. I was a big, uh, like Peterson supporter and, uh, Ben Shapiro, but now I've, I've definitely taken a step back from those two. Yeah. I like Peterson too, but I think he started working for the Daily Wire. The Daily Wire is run by Ben Shapiro, and I think Ben Shapiro is directly tied to Mossad. He's not just a Jew, it's Israeli
Starting point is 00:21:56 intelligence. He worked with Breitbart before here, is where he got to start, but Breitbart, he went over to Israel, met met with netanyahu that's where he funded his company so you look back a lot of people it's not just jews running these countries it's literally like tied into israel that's why they fired candace as soon as she started she can be critical of america but as soon as she started criticizing israel they fired her she was gone quick but look how big she is now she's huge now it actually helped her i think it's kind of like tucker Yeah, Tucker's bigger now. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:22:26 They fire these people. If you speak truth, mainstream news will fire you. Tucker had been, he was by far Fox's biggest person, and they fired him for no clear reason. And that's why when Candace got fired, I kind of stopped following Ben because I felt like he used to be more authentic. I think he was always kind of fake.
Starting point is 00:22:43 We just didn't see it. I think we really saw it with the Israel thing thing i think some of his stuff is still good i think he's a smart guy but ultimately i think his loyalty is to israel not america yeah so when you have a guy acting like he's american politics and he's for his loyalties to a foreign country it's like i can't i can't respect this guy it's tough peterson though that one hurt a lot because i feel like he's lost a step. Yeah, because Peterson, a lot of us, you know, a lot of people looked up to, loved, I have all kinds of people, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:09 saying he helped change their life for the better when I was getting fighting with him online. So it sucks to go after a guy like this, but when they've lost his way, you know, he had a Xanic addiction and it just hasn't been the same since. I don't know if it's because money he's taking from the Daily Wire because he can't be critical of Israel. He's saying terrible things like, you know, you know like you know go and give him hell he went and met with netanyahu and they're just like terror just bombing out these refugee camps schools and he's kind of like almost mocking it yeah i don't know if he doesn't see
Starting point is 00:23:36 what's going on or doesn't care or what the issue is yeah it's crazy man him and nick got in a big fight right yeah they got into it and you know And Peterson just goes on there calling Nick Buntis, he calls him like a rat, this and things. After he has his old tweets like, oh, you can't come in with just an insult, there's no argument. So Nick's like, hey, why don't you debate me on this issue? And obviously Peterson won't,
Starting point is 00:23:56 because I think Nick has truth on his side. And Nick's an interesting person you mentioned, because he's someone that I believe the smear tactics against. I was just told he's this racist, Nazi, white white supremacist i didn't want anything to do with him but i had a mutual friend of ours a black guy in new york who kept being like oh you gotta talk to my friend nick i thought it was kind of weird this black guy was trying to get me to talk to this racist i'm like why do you want me to talk to nick but eventually he was persistent you know so he gave me nick's phone number started talking to him a little bit and i realized that he'd been
Starting point is 00:24:24 lied to you realize like how good of a talker Nick is, how well he's researched, and you start understanding why they blacklisted him. He got banned everywhere, right? Everywhere. One of the most banned guys of all time. Crazy. He was banned at 18 years old, too. Holy crap.
Starting point is 00:24:38 That's when I met him in Chicago. We talked one day. He told me the story of 18, Ben Shapiro got him banned. I think it was Uber Uber, like everything. It's not just social media. It was all the payment apps. So he couldn't get all the processing centers. So he was trying to start his own network,
Starting point is 00:24:53 but he couldn't even, his banks, they kicked him out of everything. He got Andrew Tated. Yeah, and his crime being critical of Israel. So they made him out to be this monster. And then you talk to him like, I've had connections with like Hell's Angels, Yakuza. I've never been told to disavow or disassociate any of them i'm hanging out with nick and everyone's being like disassociate and disavow this guy i'm like this
Starting point is 00:25:12 is kind of weird this guy is like religious talking jesus doing good things again i'm personally not super religious but i got a lot of respect for nick and people are telling me i have to disavow him it's like you're not telling me i've disavowed the other people you know i have a hell's angel that was in prison for like murder hanging out with and no one no one mentions that maybe they tell me disavow this guy it's like yeah it's insane you hang out with murders and stuff and then him and sneak are the ones that get you the most heat these are the ones people tell me to disavow it's like you know sneak goes it's nice you know like you've hung out with sneeko nice respectful uh you know young i can't
Starting point is 00:25:41 call him a kid but i'm just like a lot older so to me you know I met Sneeko, and again, I'm like, oh, this guy's... I didn't have much opinion of him. People were just like, oh, he's always causes problems. Again, I don't know if you've met Sneeko, but he wanted to fly out for an interview. Came out, and again, extremely respectful, polite, nothing bad to say about the kid. Yeah, he was a normal dude to me.
Starting point is 00:26:00 Yeah, you got to be careful how the media portrays people, even countries. You start to wonder all the stuff they're saying about Russia and North Korea, like in China, like is that even true? Yeah, it's true because the media will, because Malcolm X said they'll make, I forget the exact quote, but basically he'll make the good guy into the enemy. So he was against the media. So it shows they've done this for a long time. That's a great question. You mentioned these other countries like Russia have, I'm not a Russia supporter,
Starting point is 00:26:25 but I'm also not strongly against Putin. I've always believed the stuff about North Korea, but yeah, maybe I should take a second look. Who knows, man? Now they're even questioning the Holocaust. But that's the one thing you can't. They'll spin you from most social media still. In a lot of countries, you'll go to jail.
Starting point is 00:26:39 So again, that was the one thing that makes me want to question something. When they say you can't question something, it makes me want to question it. That's how it was with 9-11 for a long time, and now it's finally coming out, like some new info. And it's actually exciting to see that, you know? It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:26:52 They suppressed all the – again, I don't think there's a strong enough case for who did 9-11, but I think there has been some links to Israel for sure. I'm not saying they did it, but it showed you – people can Google the dancing Israelis and stuff, which was when 9-11 came down, there was five Israeli spies were watching it come down and they were videotaping it. And they later admitted having prior knowledge. So how did these guys have prior knowledge of it?
Starting point is 00:27:17 Now, maybe they just knew about it or maybe they helped plan it. I have no idea the answer to that, but it should be like, but you can't even talk about it. And there's also after 9-11 too, a network of I think two to like 500, you know, Israeli spies got busted. Damn. And they were all through like Florida.
Starting point is 00:27:33 There was explosive experts even. There was a lot of them were living in the same small town in Florida. I don't think it was Hollywood, Florida, but it was near there. So most of the hijackers and a bunch of the Israeli spies were living like a mile from each other.
Starting point is 00:27:44 Holy crap. I mean, I don't say for sure this is something but it's but it's suspicious and things should be investigated so it's like yeah it's quite possible you know did did saudi arabia israel cia did they do it together i don't know you start to wonder how many things israel has its hands in because if they're controlling stuff in the u.s which is one of the top countries they could be running the whole world for all we know. Yeah, it's hard to say the whole world, but they definitely have their fingers in a lot of things. Even look at when ISIS was going around. Israel, Mossad, and CIA were giving ISIS weapons,
Starting point is 00:28:14 or they were giving an organization that directed directly with ISIS weapons, and they were handing the weapons to ISIS. We knew that, but kept giving them weapons. Wow. Israel was even treating ISIS soldiers that were injured in their hospitals. And this was the enemy of America. So how is this our greatest ally when they're fighting along?
Starting point is 00:28:32 And ISIS never attacked Israel. That is crazy, man. Yeah, everything we were taught growing up, you got to start questioning it. Yeah, I've been to Israel. I was told they were our greatest ally. So it's not like I'm some crazy anti-Israel person. But I go there, and you start digging digging you start seeing all these holes you start being like huh maybe i was lied to about quite a bit you probably can't go anymore right i don't i
Starting point is 00:28:53 wouldn't risk it right now i've been extremely critical that country they probably wouldn't let me in and if they did i'd be scared they would uh kill me yeah i wouldn't be surprised man that's nuts dude when when you can't trust your own government agencies, that's where it gets scary, I think. Yeah, and I would love to go there and do reporting, and especially in the West Bank. I know Gaza's way too dangerous, but the West Bank is, for people who don't know, there's Gaza, which is where Hamas is, but there's also the West Bank,
Starting point is 00:29:17 which is not run by Hamas, but Israel is also attacking that taking land. Wow. So they can't give an excuse for that. They call them settlers, but it's really like terrorists. These Jewish people come in, lots of them from America and stuff. They just go in and start taking Palestinian homes, lands, burning their fields. Like every, every international organization has called this illegal and they'll quietly condemn it,
Starting point is 00:29:36 but they won't make a big deal out of it. I mean, the U S condemns it, but we, but we allow it. They're in there just like killing Palestinians, burning homes. And these are the good ones that don't, they don't do armed resistance. So it makes you be like, okay, maybe this. And these are the good ones. They don't do armed resistance. So it makes you be like, okay, maybe this is why Hamas did armed resistance. Yeah, it is nuts, man. And I know Vivek's really against these agencies. He wanted to get rid of them.
Starting point is 00:29:54 Secret Service is getting a lot of heat right now. Where do you stand on that debate? Yeah, I like Vivek. I like a lot of his stuff. I don't know him enough to go detailed. The Secret Service Trump thing is just wild. I don't even what to make of it you know i'm trying not to jump to conclusions yeah same but you know it's uh but more each day more and more new evidence there's a lot of holes like they're saying things like they knew he was there for like 30 minutes or
Starting point is 00:30:17 26 holy crap that they were watching the snipers the police were in the um they were inside the place he climbed up what they were in the building so they they were inside the place he climbed up. What? They were in the building? Yeah, so they didn't want to put him on the roof, so they said the police were, like, just hanging out inside as he climbed it. What? Also, how did he get a ladder there? I mean, you can't move a ladder unless you have a truck. Does this kid even have a truck? Like, uh, did he just walk through the rally holding an AR-15?
Starting point is 00:30:38 Like, all these questions are, like, supposedly he was actually on the radar of, um, Secret Service for over an hour. What? They spotted him early with, like, a range finder out there scoping it out, and, like, no one did anything. What the hell? Did you see the videos where he's climbing the building,
Starting point is 00:30:52 and Trump supporters are yelling, hey, guys, I'm going for the gun, and the cops are just, like, chilling there. So it makes you, is it incompetence, or is it more? And, no, I don't want to jump to conclusions yet, but it definitely seems like something's there. Dude, it does. I think we'll probably know within the next few weeks yeah we'll just keep burying it and covering it up i hope not man that's i think they might try it again if it was planned no it's kind of scary it's super scary because you wonder who was trying to kill him what's
Starting point is 00:31:18 their purpose another interesting thing is they had the debate a couple weeks ago everyone realized biden has no chance yeah they also tried killing him the day before the rnc really trump hadn't he hadn't named a vice president yet that means if he'd been killed the delegates could have picked his vice president so it's like so they he would have had no say over it they could have put nicky haley or anyone in there wow so it really makes you wonder there's seems like some kind of deep state operation yeah who knows man i mean who knows who's running shit behind the scenes? It's definitely not Biden. No, that's that's great for conspiracy theories. That's a great point, because it's very clear that Biden's not running the country.
Starting point is 00:31:53 So Biden's not. Who is? Yeah, that's perfectly shows you the president doesn't run the country. Absolutely. That's when you got to look at his cabinet, you know, like the head guys. You look at all the head guys running it and, you know, you start seeing them, a lot of them have, you know, dual allegiance to Israel. Follow the money too. Yeah. You know, all the, all the big corporations, there's always multiple people fighting for power. So it's never one person I would say, but there's also multiple, but there are people that seem to be the biggest power players. Yeah. What'd you think of Trump's VP pick? I know people were really critical on Twitter about it. I'm not a huge fan, you know. I need to do more research. I like some things about him, but again, he's
Starting point is 00:32:27 extremely, extremely pro-Israel, and that's something where I'm extremely not pro-Israel. I think they've completely taken over the Republican Party, or both parties. Israel has? Yeah. Wow. That's scary. Yeah, so it's like when you see this, and you talk about maybe going to war with Iran. You know, it was like yesterday they started saying they thought Iran was behind the assassination.
Starting point is 00:32:44 What? But we all just like laughed at them and now that already went away. Yeah, no, but these guys, they control the politics because multiple ways, but one of the biggest one is through AIPAC, which is the Israeli lobby. But all foreign lobbies,
Starting point is 00:32:57 they have to register under Farras. Let me see where their money going. Israel lobby is the only foreign lobby that doesn't register. And it's supposed to, there's no reason why they don't. You know, JFK was actually fighting really hard to make the register right when he happened to get shot crazy and then since then everyone's kind of left it alone so they can
Starting point is 00:33:12 completely control our politics and we can't track their money no it's so bad that they posted they brag about it on twitter though i think they've won the last three or four hundred people they picked on the election so they're just running through destroying our politicians destroying you know they basically pick our politicians and then they do whatever Israel tells them. So it's a big problem. You know, we have to make them register under FARA, but the problem is knowing the politicians have to do that and the politicians are all bought off. Wow. I just found out today, Mexico hired an Israel president, a woman. Or yeah, a Jewish woman.
Starting point is 00:33:41 Jewish, yeah. Yeah. I haven't tracked that that much, but it's a little strange. Very strange. There's very, very few Jewish people in Mexico. Again, I don't want to say every rabbit hole is a conspiracy because there are just random things. I haven't really followed her. She could just be a charismatic person that makes sense.
Starting point is 00:33:57 But when you start seeing the same patterns over and over, some of them are a little strange. Yeah, and considering Mexico has killed 32 presidents, why would she be the one to lead them? Yeah, they're assassinating people like crazy, and then she gets in, and I'm, you know, I don't know enough about her to know her allegiances to Israel and that stuff, but it's definitely a little strange when the population, you know,
Starting point is 00:34:15 the Jewish population in Mexico, I believe, is less than 1%. Yeah, it's not. So what do you think Israel is, like, trying to accomplish? Do you think there's, like, a hidden agenda? I definitely think there's a hidden agenda. How deep it goes, I'm still trying to research and figure out. I think they definitely manipulate for sure American politics.
Starting point is 00:34:31 They've done a lot of research into that. But it seems like they definitely strongly control most European politics. Wow. Because you can see how Britain, France, all these countries have anti-Semitic laws, but they don't have anti-laws for any other race. Why do you need one person to have an anti-Semitic law? Well, the funny thing is they're the only race that has their own word for racism.
Starting point is 00:34:51 There's not, you know, if I don't like Asians, I'm just racist. I'm not like anti, what kind of Asian are you? I'm not like anti whatever, half whatever, you know, whatever you are. But they're the only people that have their own word for racism. They're the only, even American politicians pass anti-semitic hate speech laws like like why what's their definition of anti-semitic too is like it's always changing they say so being critical of israel they say makes you anti-semitic and hate jews yeah see they try spinning this narrative of always calling you jew hater jew hater which is absolutely insane i don't hate jews i don't want them to control our country we were just
Starting point is 00:35:23 talking about we met through one of my good jewish. He was like, oh, you hate Jews. But like, you know, Derek Moneyberg connected us. He's a guy, you know, an amazing guy. So it's not that I hate Jews. It's I don't want Jews in Israel controlling our country. Which is a reasonable take when you put it that way, but they'll label you as anti-Semitic. Oh yeah. I'm constantly called anti-Semitic, Jew hater that like constantly try to to write everyone that I do business with, tell them not to work. Wow. Including guys like Derek. They'll be like, oh, he hates Jews.
Starting point is 00:35:48 And Derek's like, yeah, he can fuck off. And Derek knows you. Yeah. Luckily, they've only got one seminar canceled is the only thing they've done. Because people in the fight world, I mostly do business with friends. And people in the fight world, for the most part, are kind of like, ah, fuck off. Yeah. But they did manage to get a seminar in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I think it was owned by Jewss is what it was they canceled all my seminars well that wasn't meant to be no and i was annoyed because i had that booked with nate diaz i didn't want to pull him into my political shit i didn't want yeah if he doesn't speak politics publicly i don't want to drag him into my shit so that pissed me off but i was able to to book another seminar for us like an hour later yeah yeah i noticed the diaz they don't say shit about politics yeah it means respect no reason to you know they followed a little bit but not as closely as me and so i always tell them like you don't need to jump in and that's why why alienate unless you're really paying attention and really passionate about it you shouldn't speak
Starting point is 00:36:36 about yeah i'd say you're the most outspoken fighter in politics right now yeah it is funny i've had people try to be like when i first started picking politics like i'm gonna tell the ds brothers on you these guys are some of my best friends whether they do or don't disagree with me agree with me on something you really think they're gonna care what i'm tweeting yeah it shows you how like pathetic people's friendships are yeah like some tweet is gonna break up a friendship of mine that's been like 20 years well people my age just hop friends like they're just you know no loyalty no loyalty disgusting i see that especially like podcasters streamer will throw someone under the bus and do something bad here's my take if my friend does something i really don't like i'm not going to publicly condemn them i'm going to call
Starting point is 00:37:13 them privately and have a conversation with them i'm not going to jump out and like if sneeko does something i don't like or he's not one of my best friends but we became friends with them i still i still know enough at this point or if there's something i don't like i'm not going to go out there and be like oh sneeko fucked up here i would give him a private phone call and be like, oh, I don't like you did that. You never should publicly bash your friends, in my opinion, even if you do something bad. There's been a lot of that with Dr. Disrespect, Cody Coe. There seems to be a new one every week or two.
Starting point is 00:37:36 Yeah, it's pathetic. Just no loyalty. Like, have a little loyalty to your friend. Especially these things, they're going to last a week, then everyone's going to forget. But they just want to jump out and be like, oh, I can't believe he did that. It's a little like, you know, when i see celebrities and stuff do this it's just disgusting it's cringe yeah i always have such loyalty to my friends they're trying to
Starting point is 00:37:50 save face no exactly but it's not how you save face you lose a friendship you don't it's just i grew up super loyalty loyal with you know the whole crew i came with the diaz brothers gil melendez so to me it's all about loyalty so when i see this i'm like wow you know and occasionally a friend will do something i really don't like and then I'll give them a private phone call and have a have a private one-on-one conversation with them I'm not gonna go out and blast them on Twitter that's respect though yeah I just can't believe this generation like they don't understand friendships it's soft dude it's super soft you say the wrong thing they'll cut you off yeah they get scared that if you're like oh you said the wrong thing yeah he said he said a gay
Starting point is 00:38:24 slur I don't know what we're allowed to say on this show, but they'll freak out. It's like, give me a fucking break. A red flag to me actually is when someone agrees with everything I say. Like, I don't want you as a friend if you're going to do that. Yeah, you don't want a bunch of yes people.
Starting point is 00:38:34 A lot of guys don't understand that about, that's probably with women because women are used to guys agreeing with them. A lot of times if you don't, you're going to have a lot more luck. Girls are just so sick of all these guys agreeing with everything they say. Yeah, these simps. Yeah, the girls hate that. Like, girls are way better than they'll have a lot more luck. Girls are just so sick of all these guys agreeing with everything they say. Yeah, these simps.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah, the girls hate that. Girls are way better than they'll have a guy that'll sit and argue with them and think something totally different. Then they'll be a little turned on versus some guy that just kisses their ass and pretends to agree with everything. People hate that. I want to know people's real opinions. I have people that I disagree with on a lot of stuff,
Starting point is 00:39:00 but I have a lot of respect for them because I know I always know their real opinion. Yeah, it's okay to disagree. That's what people don't realize. You can be good friends and disagree on a lot of stuff but i have a lot of respect for him because i know i always know his their real opinion yeah it's okay to disagree that's what people don't realize good friends and disagree on a lot of stuff you know yeah but they're using politics to really just stir up friendships and families and yeah i spent most of my life in new york and san francisco so i've had lots of liberal friends they're still my friends you know we could have polite discussions where we disagree i'm not gonna be like oh i hate this guy because we disagree on some political stuff yeah and to me that was crazy what they did with trump the vaccine they tore apart so many like families and friendships i'm very fortunate where i didn't really lose uh there was one person that
Starting point is 00:39:34 was you know kind of a far-off family member that i had a falling out with over the vaccine but it's uh so you know fortunately only only one person well now he probably he or she probably realizes you were right they never apologized but yeah they probably realized i was right but you know it would be nice the thing is too if you fuck up on something you should usually give the person a call and apologize instead of just pretending like it never happened you know yeah there's a few times where i've screwed up on something people don't realize like how far a phone call can go and be like man i really screwed up people will generally forgive you when you do that but if you don't they generally won't yeah no you don't want to live with that resentment ever that shit can drain you yeah but people like
Starting point is 00:40:08 said no one's apologized to me over you know not getting the vaccine not wanting to wear the mask despite all the there's none of my close friends but i got a lot of hate in san francisco oh oh in san fran yeah you needed a car to eat at restaurants there right yeah they were like new york i had some people with you know they would own some small restaurants let me eat there and friends owned restaurants and stuff but it's still it made me be like man screw these people yeah that's tough man yeah I can't knock people because I grew up left actually yeah I grew up in Jersey used to watch the news every day so I can't knock people for their beliefs because it's just so programmed they don't even know exactly I grew up a lot more left too you
Starting point is 00:40:40 know my parents were always liberal but the left and right has switched quite a bit too yeah so that's why it gets complex. So it's not like What they're what right and left is is always switching like because I'm I've always been anti-war pro free speech And that's why I kind of consider myself the right But then as soon as Israel war hit the all these I realize all these guys were grifters because they're acting like they're a pro They're anti-war but they jumped all of a sudden pro war israel and they wanted to be against free speech for israel so i go oh the right and left just constantly switches because before when i was young you know the left was against the iraq war all that yeah and then the then the right became against the ukrainian war and now the right is for the israel war it goes back and forth yeah
Starting point is 00:41:18 it's pretty wild so you just label as independent now yeah you know i think i i lean more rightish but overall it's like both sides are full of it yeah yeah left has gone a long way from what it was we're growing up yeah they've gone pretty crazy so it's like you see like those weird tranny stuff they're pushing on kids it's like the san fran pride parade you see that i think yeah i mean i've been at some of those so to me it wasn't shocking oh you go to those dude there was no i mean i don't like go to them but i've lived in san francisco for almost years, so they would go by my house. So I've seen all that stuff for years. So I think a lot of people were shocked.
Starting point is 00:41:48 I was shocked. There's one in San Francisco called the Folsom Street Fair that goes far beyond what you've seen there. Some reporter needs to go there and film it. I don't want to go and film it. It's just, I went there one year. I'm like, oh, I wish I hadn't. There's things that'll, things you'll see that you'll never unsee.
Starting point is 00:42:01 To who? Showed up, there's like a guy tied, chained to a fire hydrant with a sign, piss on me. And guys lined up pissing on him. And just dudes, I got scared and left. But it was just, it was disgusting. Holy crap, man. That's scary having kids in this environment.
Starting point is 00:42:14 Yeah, especially they're pushing the trans thing so heavy. It can manipulate. I have several friends whose daughters fell for that. I've noticed this happening a lot more to daughters than men. I think it's a lot of these girls, when they kind of go through a phase, you know, the teen year, especially if they're not real pretty, don't have a lot of friends, they'll get sucked into this, like, if they go trans, they have a group all of a sudden.
Starting point is 00:42:34 They get treated better by the teachers. They have some of their peers treat them better. So it's sad, you know, especially when you have these doctors pushing surgery on them. Yeah. I think most of these kids won't get the surgery, and they'll snap out of it in a couple years but the ones that man do get the surgery it's just disgusting doctors that do that should be you know i think i got suspended on twitter for
Starting point is 00:42:51 saying they should be hung i think they'll regret it dude yeah i mean i think some of these kids are finally suing the doctors that should be big that's good some of these doctors get bankrupt it's gonna stop yeah it's just totally i mean putting a kid through a sex change before 18 it's like give me a break Your mind is not developed until 26. No, and that's when it should be like at least 21 for the sex change, in my opinion. At least, dude. Yeah, it's such a.
Starting point is 00:43:11 You can't even drink. If they do them at all, I don't even know if they should do them. It's like, if I went to a doctor and I'm like, I want to cut my arm off, they'd be like, you're crazy. But I can be in and I go, I want to cut my cock off, and they're like, yeah, okay. That doesn't make any sense. It's just insane.
Starting point is 00:43:21 They're probably charging a ton for it, too. Yeah, and a lot of it, I think they're trying to get the government to cover it. What? Oh, my gosh. It's terrible, man. Yeah, teenage suicide rate is really high for females. Yeah, that's a real problem. I think kids, they say, are a lot more anxiety and depressed than ever before.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I think it's at an all-time high, yeah. Yeah, and the reason, you know, it's hard to say the exact reasons. Part of it might be social media. I don't think social media is good for kids. No. It wasn't around when I'm a kid, and I'm thankful. I think that. I think kids aren't eating good.
Starting point is 00:43:51 They're not exercising. Is there PE in the schools anymore? Not really. Yeah, but it's a joke. Yeah, it should be, like, hardcore. If you watch PE from, like, the 60s, these kids are sprinting. They're all ripped. They're doing, like, pull-ups, push-ups.
Starting point is 00:44:01 There's, like, no real PE. I've actually been pushing for the last year or so saying that we should make all men in high school do one fight every year imagine if you had to spend two months training you had to fight either in front of the whole school or at least your p class you had to go in cage fight another dude it would just like it would just snap you out of it and it would just like mentally it would make you so much tougher you'd be like oh shit i ain't got time to be depressed i gotta train i have to get punched in the face i'm gonna get beat up in front of my peers it would just make you uh it would make them better men in my opinion they would never they would never do that unfortunately
Starting point is 00:44:31 but it would it would do so much good to our society they would love that sean strickland would advocate for that i think sean strickland probably go beat those poor kids up yeah he just beat up a seal right like a week ago oh man i was there that day that was oh you were there brutal jesus why didn't he tap out He was too tough for his own good. I actually tried being like, hey, maybe you shouldn't finish this. And Sean was kind of brutal. Instead of knocking the guy out, he was brutalizing him. He would knock him down, not quite knock him out,
Starting point is 00:44:55 drop him with leg shots, drop him with body shots. It was brutal, man. I watched it for like 25 minutes. It was hard to watch. Damn. The guy was tough. He wanted to prove a point. He did okay the first round.
Starting point is 00:45:05 He's actually a really tough dude, good fighter, but not at Sean's league. Sean's is a level above him and just got annihilated. Someone almost should have jumped in and stopped it. Sean fought Sneeko too. Were you there for that one? I was there for that. Yeah, I actually went and picked up Sneeko because I wanted him to train one of my Muslim fighters because he was Muslim to cross promote because the guy's a great fighter but not a big audience yet.
Starting point is 00:45:29 And Sneeko's like, oh, I'm going to spar Sean first this morning. I'm like, no, no, no, no. You cannot do that. And I tried talking him out of it, but he's just like, oh, I already gave Sean my word, which I get. You give someone your word. You kind of got it. So I respect Sneeko for that.
Starting point is 00:45:42 So he's like, all right. So just go in there and fight him. You know he's going to hurt you. Just take your beating like a man. Don in there and fight him no he's gonna hurt you just take your beating like a man don't cry about it and he did man he took it being like a man never never said anything bad about sean after wow so he just i mean at least not much about him i think sean went way too hard but sean got a lot of heat yeah but to be fair though i did warn sneaker what he's walking to that's why i said hey if you're walking into this he's gonna hurt you so and he took a beating well yeah i believe he didn't go down no props to sneeko and apparently you're not supposed to go that hard in sparring is that true typically not sometimes like two top pros well but
Starting point is 00:46:13 like if a guy comes in and spars me that's not a top pro i'm not gonna you're going like 60 a little like that yeah i think sneeko had a concussion and wasn't even really aware of it because he went out hooked him up with nate diaz he wanted to go to Nate Diaz's camp, and he brought him. He went out there the next day or something, and Nate sparred him. Nate was just playing, but he still shouldn't have been sparring with a concussion. Damn. I think he realized after. He's like, oh, he's a little confused.
Starting point is 00:46:33 I think after that, I'm like, bro, you've got to take a week off training. You're like, you shouldn't. I get it. You're out at Nate's, and he asked you to spar. You can't really say no, but you've got to rest your head for a week or two. Yeah. Damn. Shout out to Sneeko.
Starting point is 00:46:44 That's a tough mentality. He's tough, and that's why people hate on sneaker but i respect him he's tough you know hard worker he said you know he hit me up for an interview asked me when i'm in miami and i'm like uh you know maybe a couple weeks he's like can i fly out to you sure flies out the next day he asked hey you think you can set up something with nate i'm like uh okay i like you i'll call nate he says yeah can i fly out tomorrow sure flies out there it's like the kids are hard worker nice i love that where can uh that's how you get stuff done though yeah 100 where can people keep up with you and what you got going on next man yeah uh jake shields ajj on x i actually just started youtube jake shields ajj i started doing a little podcast i need to figure out how to build that i haven't started rumble yet but gonna do that
