Truly means a lot. Thank you guys for supporting, and here's the episode. All right, guys. We got Thompson and Jollibee here today. Yep. Coming to the wallaby.

Oh, wallaby. Yeah, wallaby. Oh, I thought they were Jollibies. Jollibee? I never, I don't know shit about animals. It's basically, it's like a kangaroo, but like a mini version of it. So like we just get three foot, where a kangaroo gets like six foot. Damn. Yeah., it's like a kangaroo, but like a mini version of it. So like we just get three foot where a kangaroo gets like six foot. Damn.

Yeah. So it's like a mini kangaroo. Yeah. I have a mini Australian shepherd. So maybe they'd be friends. Yeah. Maybe. Have you met dogs before?

No, but I have another one at home and he hates dogs because we don't have a dog. So like he's not used to them. Yeah. So he shits himself. But this one,

I think I want to get them used to him. Damn. What do they like to do? Just hang out. Do they jump around a lot? Yeah. They're kind of like, and they're a little more skittish, right? Because kangaroos, since they're six foot tall, like they don't really have any predators.

So they're way more chill. But like wallabies, you kind of have to work with them to like really tame them down because they got more predators in the wild. So they're more skittish, run away. Oh, interesting. So was he scared when you first got him? No, she's been really, really good. Oh, she?

Yeah. Nice. She's like seven months old. but i think she's because like she just thinks that we're her mom wow i didn't know you can own these out here yeah that's why i'm in vegas yeah i might have to look into that everybody's like why'd you move to vegas tax reasons like save my life no like i want illegal animals that were what they animals that were illegal in california illegal here and this way i can still drive to california when i need to work but if i go to florida or something like that it's kind of too far out yeah florida is far out man it's not close enough to like la for like other stuff that i do yeah i used to want a flying squirrel when i was a kid yeah i have uh six of those damn i got to stop by your house man i heard they shit everywhere though yeah i mean animal shit yeah so your house is just full of different exotics? Yeah, we have like half an acre.

So there's like space. Nice. That's awesome, man. What was the first exotic animal you got? Probably, yeah. I have a yellow anaconda that was like, somebody was scared that it was going to eat their dog. But in Australia, I used to rescue parrots.

So I had like a hawk at one point, like all kinds of different things. What goes into a parrot rescue? You get a call and then you just show up. I used to work like at this one swimming pool when I was younger and I was like in the bush and like, we had like a hawk that just had a broken wing that I took home. And then my uncle had a parrot that fell out of a nesting box in his

backyard. And then I just hand raised it. So you feed it with a syringe thing down its throat, like every two hours. So, but then it bonds to you. So you can't re-release it. So it's like,

you're kind of screwed. So I try to take it somewhere to get it re-released but they yeah they're like no like this parrot will never survive damn so in australia where i'm from they're just kind of like falling basically if like if they have more than one baby the parents will kick the runs out and then you just end up with that one and i feel like the parrot one parrot i had was kind of like that in the happy feet movie where like it never grew its feathers for for ages it was like that like it just took forever to fully fledge out to a parrot because it was just a little run yeah it was like the cutest little thing i love that man so you're big on animals i heard australia

has the deadliest animals yeah we have like a bunch of like poisonous snakes stuff like that you ever have any near-death experiences with those no we have show i go to the beach and be sharks but i think we have like one of the most amount of shark attacks damn where i'm from that's scary man yeah i've seen videos of like the poisonous animals out there you just take the wrong step and you're dead yeah we have oh yeah i've had rattlesnakes here and i have the world's most poisonous tarantula right now holy i think i do like you can have like if you get bit by it like you can just have a reaction like your liver will shut down it kind of depending on like the like the person you are and like how you react to like the poison yeah but

i hand i've like handheld the rattlesnakes bro you got balls like how you react to like the poison. Yeah. But I hand, I've like handheld the rattlesnakes. Bro, you got balls of steel. You have to do it. It's crazy. Cause like you feel a normal snake. They're kind of like smooth. Have you felt a snake before? No, I'm too scared.

It feels like a fingernail, right? A snake? Yeah. Yeah. But a rattlesnake feels like an armor plate, armor plated. Like it's like tank. Oh, they're thicker? Yeah.

Damn. It's crazy. Like they're so like just thick and yeah. Wow. You and tarzan need to do a collab man oh yeah we did one once before he drove he did um we did a video where i was playing violin and he was doing donuts around me on a quad bike and then he drove into me oh what yeah so he hit you yeah if i accidentally that sounds like a lawsuit yeah that was fine and then this guy was jumped his motorcycle over while we're doing it was just like this wild video and the guy who jumped his motorcycle over top of us he slammed into his

handlebars put his front teeth through his lip oh so he split his lip over so he was bleeding everywhere and yeah tarzan drove into me oh that video was a fun day but we were out rattlesnake hunting in vegas in the desert damn yeah we left my house at like 5 a.m or something he showed up and we just went out to like find rattlesnakes. Holy crap. Yeah. I want to get out to their sanctuary. It looks really cool. Yeah. It's in California right now. He wanted to, he wanted to move to Tars, to Tarzana. So he could be like the real Tarzan and Tarzana. 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.

He gifted me a rattlesnake because he was on The Voice. I don't know why he was on The Voice. He was on The Voice with rattlesnakes. So he brought them rattlesnakes for some episode of The Voice. And why the heck would they want like 100 rattlesnakes? But he had this little baby oneakes for some episode of the voice. And I'm like, why the heck would they want like a hundred rattlesnakes? But he had this little baby one. So he gifted me that. And then I get like snakes and stuff for him.

But I used to like help him like film some YouTube videos back in the day too. Nice. Me and him being friends forever. Small world. Yeah. You blew up with that violin stuff, man.

Oh yeah. Yeah. That's how I found out about you years ago. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I feel like violinists never were on social media before. No. And it's funny.

Cause like, well, the reason was I used to run people's YouTube channels and then I stopped running this last guys like, like, you know, a lot of big bodybuilders. I used to run their stuff.

Yeah. Um, you wouldn't know who they are. And then, um, I stopped working with the last one and then I was like, what am I going to do? And just cause I understood,

I understood social. I was like, I'm going to do this. And it blew up. Cause like, it's just, I wanted the juxtaposition. So when you see it,

you're like, even if you love it or hate it, you'd be like, you couldn't forget it. You stopped scrolling. Yeah. Then also it'd be like you couldn't forget it you stop scrolling yeah then also be like the rappers would be like oh this guy's wild and then i could go work with him in the studio which is what happened but then of course now like social has changed so the last two years i've been taking kind of a break i noticed that yeah you stop but now i started again like just recently but i'm doing clean content and already in the last three days i've been i grew like 11 000 people in the

last three days so it started because the algorithm's all different now they swapped it all around yeah because it used to be hot girl violin and famous person yeah that was the formula because it was like you had to get reposted by a big page and then people had to be like whoa this is crazy they click on your profile go to your thing but that's like three clicks right yeah where now it's more like get it stuck in that infinite loop and then you see something cool and you're like oh well this is cool the next thing must be even cooler maybe i don't want to leave the loop so you're like well i like this so they just press the follow button because that follow button never used to be there on the reels right so now it's like but the thing is so if you get in that algorithm which is really

good like you have to give them what they want yeah so you have to get extremely niched up and then just feed it the exact pretty much same thing over and over again yeah until it figures out what audience that you're for and then it starts exploding you so yeah the last two months i've been posting clean content and a few of the videos have already got over a million views and like 15 000 shares each or whatever it is it's just just purely just me playing violin to like popular songs oh not even like girls anymore no because that because that because that they know with the ai they recognize the flesh tones and everything so they just shut you down they don't put you in that algorithm i didn't know that and that's what i'm saying so if like if you don't get put in that algorithm but say a big page repost you there's too many steps right yeah nobody wants to press like oh this is cool

let me go to his page and then follow there's too many steps in the way like they just want to go in the infinite loop and just follow what they're seeing that's why like there's one guy i know who plays cello went from like 2 000 followers to 3.7 million holy crap in less than a year with nothing but just organic reach because of like how the algorithm has reshifted dude that's impressive i always wanted to play that they made us pick an instrument in fifth grade oh yeah that was the one that i was attracted to but it's like the learning curve's too hard it's too hard so i went with trumpet and i sucked ass at that. So I, I gave up. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, at least with some instruments like piano, right. You just hit keys and at least you can play something that's recognizable. Yeah. But the violin doesn't have that. There's no frets. So like you have to have perfect pitch to start with.

And then you need to have bow control with the fingers at the same time to make it even sound half decent. Cause I used to teach music. Everybody be like, I want to play violin. And I'm like, don't even try. Cause like,

unless you start with piano first and you have an understanding in music, you're going to quit immediately. And everyone's like, no, I want to do violin. i'm like don't even try because like unless you start with piano first and you have an understanding in music you're going to quit immediately and no i want to do violin i'm like cool like to quit in like two weeks so it's one of the hardest instruments it's just to get starting it's like pretty much impossible wow i didn't know that yeah and that's what you play right violin yeah and piano and piano yeah i like piano i used to play a little bit but my mom would smack the shit out of me i fucked up so yeah that's what my mom was like that too my mom used to teach me a little traumatized from that and she watches all these so shout out to mom oh there you go it's part of the game man yeah you know asian parenting get a little face slap yeah australia that's what happened too yeah like my mom's like she's just like hardcore

but when i was a kid yeah and was she a music artist yeah she's a pianist oh god so that's why i grew up i didn't know like that people didn't play music, you know, when you, cause like my mom played three hours a day and then taught music for work. Yeah. So it's all I ever heard after school. So when I started playing music, I was like, yeah, that's what everybody does. So I didn't think that you could quit. I thought that's what everybody just did.

Right. So that's when I was like, I want to, I have to play piano. I was like, I want to play violin. And there wasn't like, like, I just, I don't know. Just, i didn't realize you couldn't quit yeah yeah the cool thing about you though is you play these classical instruments and you're cool in person like you can socialize i feel like a lot of those guys are kind of in their own world yeah because i also sometimes we'll get a little bit uptight and

they're like it's classical music that's all i can listen to and that's like all i'm about yeah and they just don't talk to people yeah yeah but you're like a normal dude like you know what i mean yeah i just get interested in weird stuff that's like why i have a kangaroo yeah well how uh you said they only get to three feet yeah wow that's cute that's how i feel about certain dog breeds i wish they could stay in that puppy size yeah so it makes it like easier but i want to get the i'm going to get a full-size kangaroo soon yeah yeah because that's the idea is like so like you were saying so jay has prehistoric pets in irvine and then i have a few other friends that are like scattered around with like reptile places and like yeah other sort of animal rescues and zoos and that was kind of the

idea of coming to vegas anyway it's just like there isn't really anything here there's a lion sanctuary i've been there yeah yeah so you can't do shit there no so there's a lion sanctuary there used to be a little mini zoo but apparently it moved to another state, like Oregon or something. And then I know the Tiger King guy was here because my friend was living in his house and she said there was like pistanes on the carpet from tigers from being in the house. I didn't know he lived in Vegas. Yeah.

Like, um, it was like the one, the one that doesn't like Joe exotic. That's always, I don't know, whatever it was. But, um, so I was like, well, I want to like build out my own like kind of animal facility. Yeah. So I figured Vegas would be a good spot. Cause like everybody comes through Vegas. Everyone. everyone yeah and that way i can have a spot kind of like what jay has but i can have mammals yeah that's what you can have like sugar gliders monkeys these kind of things you can have sloths that'd be sick dude i'd love to help you with

that for real yes i want to build out a facility out here and then also there's an endangered uh black-headed lizard in in vegas so i want to do a program where i breed it and re-release it into the wild sort of like sort of help the population that we were just at a place uh in texas and they're breeding like pygmy hippos which are like i think 2000 left in the wild damn so they're doing it so basically alongside with them with their other breeding programs and everything else they're doing they're also breeding like nearly extinct animals and like helping the you know bring back the natural population so i want to do a bit of that out here. So to bring awareness by having the facility, then also like have a spot where people can come in and do cool stuff with animals and eat them.

We're like, yeah, that doesn't exist here right now. I love that. Vegas needs that, bro. There's no animal sanctuaries or anything here. Yeah. I don't know why not. Cause like, this is such a good hotspot and especially like, especially for influencers and stuff like that or musicians or any any if you're if you are somebody you will kind of you're going to come to vegas like probably at least once a year at least yeah because ufc yeah you got t-mobile arena

you got big events here i think super bowl was just here yeah and like la is just so limiting now la is limited it's good to visit like once a month or two but i like living here more yeah like i love la because of the beach yeah and the weather but like just the the amount of things i could do here and the fact that also you can drive everywhere within five minutes is real nice no traffic you get a mansion for the same price as an apartment in la yeah i mean yeah that's a brainer that's pretty much the idea is to build out this animal facility and then have everybody come through and like get video take pictures learn about animals and then you know do some conservation work and everything else that'd be sick yeah you could definitely be the face of that what's your dream animal

mine is a panda panda would be sick mine was always a polar bear yeah but that was when i was a kid because i saw it on tv and i was like that'd be like dude they're vicious polar bear like you're just friends with you can just go swim with a polar bear i don't know if it'd be friends with you man have you seen the videos of them yeah i don't want to get it now that's not the kid i was like a polar bear i mean like there's some i don't know because i feel like there's certain animals that i'm like cool having because like you know when they're in their enclosure it's they're fine right like but then there's other animals like if you had an elephant if you leave it they'll actually cry tears oh really yeah oh i feel that's sad so

like i would never like the only reason i would have like certain animals like that is like if it's a pure rescue there's nothing else you can do yeah you know but then other animals like like there's certain frogs that literally if they when they sit down in the ground they will they won't even move for their whole life they'll just sit what yeah they'll just let food walk past them and they'll just suck up the moisture from the fucking no way yeah why they don't they don't move it's funny like because i'll have people come over and they're like why do you keep this snake like this or whatever and i'm like because in the wild it lives in a hole and that's all it does and then rodents come in the hole it eats it and then it won't leave its hole till it wants to mate like it feels comfortable in a hole but you know like humans like that don't spend a lot of time

with animals they just put their own like kind of like my brains like this so this and they probably thinks the same way you know and i'm like no it's like completely different oh so that's why snakes attack people because they're taking them out and they're getting annoyed basically. Well, if you like just fuck with a snake, it's going to be like, what the fuck's going on? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Wow. That's interesting, man. Yeah. Cause it's funny. I have like, people be like,

Oh, you have a hedgehog. Like you re-release that into the wild. I'm like, okay, so it can die. Like hedgehog is an interesting one. Cause you can't really pet it.

Right. Um, like, so they get friendly and so when they're like, they're kind of nervous, they actually make their spines harder. Oh, I didn't know that. Yeah, so they get harder and they're really spiky.

But when they're relaxed, they're kind of softer. Oh, interesting. I think they push them out to make them hard. Yeah. Yeah. That's cool. How many are freaking hard as fuck? How many pets you got right now?

Like maybe 200. Holy crap. Damn. And it all started because my ex-girlfriend won a goldfish at a fair. That's how it started. Yeah. And you wanted the goldfish? So basically she won the goldfish and I was like, I'm going to keep this fucking goldfish alive.

So I went to the store and bought a big fish tank and like did it all properly. Then I got more fish for it. And then when I was there, I started realizing like I saw a ball python and it has a gene called the pied, which like basically the pattern gets broken up by these white patches and it just looks fake now there was a fake snake and i saw it in real life i'm like what the heck this is crazy and then i realized like okay yeah ball python can be 50 but if you have all these different genes that play kind of like eye colors right you play all these because uh ball python is the most dimorphic animal in the world so it has the most gene variants so you can create the craziest colors so like you can have this like basically 50 snake or like a hundred thousand dollar snake hold the same animal

if it's just being bred different ways with different genes and then like you can kind of like you know pair them up different ways to make different colors different patterns and all kinds of crazy stuff wow yeah because jay's got some colorful snakes yeah so that's pretty much what that is it's just playing with all the gene variants damn i. I don't know if they can go for that much money. Holy shit. Yeah. It's as well. Yeah.

Jay showed me some crazy stuff. It was like, you know, like we're like different genes that they'll, they'll just pop up to they'll breed and just something will appear. Yeah. It's like, oh shit, here's a new gene. Like, like one of the weird ones is like, so, you know, snakes have scales. Yeah. If you breed it to have a scaleless head, you can breed it to have like just the head

doesn't have scales. And if you breed a snake with no scales on its head to another scale a snake with no scales on its head the whole thing will be scaleless just weird how the genes work so it's like a skinless dog but in a snake yeah yeah so you can have a fully like scaleless snake by just playing around with the genes pink skin or whatever is under that but yeah then i started rescuing animals because they'd be like i bought this snake but it's too big now or bit me because they're pussies. When a snake bites you, it's less painful than a dog bite. Oh, really?

Even if a dog's playing with you and it kind of playfully bites you, it hurts more than a snake. These small ball pythons, their teeth are like tiny little needles that are like a sixteenth of an inch or something. So yeah, you're going to draw a little bit of blood, but it feels like nothing. Yeah, I get upset when people give up their dogs for bites, pit bulls and stuff yeah yeah it's super sad i don't understand that though if i buy an animal it's for life like i don't like okay i got this i got this pet i'll keep it for like next year and then i'm good what the heck is wrong with you that's

so weird yeah because you're giving them up i mean you're their parents basically and you're giving it up so yeah it's kind of fucked but then i guess america's crazy too because you'll sell those salcata tortoises for like a hundred bucks i'm not you in particular like yeah i'll sell a tortoise like a hundred dollars or whatever that's like this big and it's like the third largest tortoise in the world to live like 80 years damn and like just people buying them for their kids and like this is ridiculous it's a lifelong what are you gonna do with like a 200 pound giant tortoise yeah oh they get to 200 pounds yeah holy the ones that have you seen jay has them like the big sulcata yeah yeah yeah because because they have like 100 babies at a time

and they just sell them cheap. And they're so little when they're babies. Yeah, that's a commitment. I used to catch turtles and frogs by my house. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I used to catch them barehanded. It was pretty fun. Yeah.

But I barely see frogs in the wild anymore. I don't know what happened to them. I don't know. They were fucked off. Yeah. Because I used to go to this river and just catch like five to ten of them, dude. Yeah.

I went back a few years later and they're all gone. Yeah. Sad to see. I think some animals are going extinct. Yeah, probably. I think pandas are endangered. Pandas are pretty interesting. Would you ever have one?

Probably get arrested by the Chinese government. Never to be seen again, I guess, right? Yeah. You have to own a zoo, right? Yeah, because every panda in a zoo that's outside outside of china i think they have to pay china so i'm like well you have to pay them like a like a like a leasing fee or something like it's like a million dollars a year yeah so you basically just you're renting the panda yeah million a year yeah because san diego zoo used to have the pandas but now they're back in china holy crap yeah because no panda outside of china is

owned by anybody except for china that That's a lot. Yeah. There's a theory on YouTube that people think pandas are humans dressed up. Oh yeah. Yeah. Cause if you've seen like the stupid panda videos, they just like seem like incompetent. Yeah. Yeah.

They do seem pretty dumb. And apparently it's really hard to make them breed. Really? Yeah. Yeah. They're fat and they just eat all day. Yeah. They just like know that interested.

Yeah. Certain animals are hella smart though. Yeah. Like octopus. Yeah. Dude, I don't know if I'd own an octopus. They're so smart. Yeah. I have to stop eating them yeah like octopus yeah dude i don't know if i'd own an octopus they're so smart yeah i just stopped eating them because i feel bad they

don't live very long they only live like three to five years or something damn that's it it's pretty short i wish dogs live longer man i know especially the big ones yeah the big guys they're only living like five now you have dogs yeah yeah i got a big guy what do you have it's a bernie's mountain dog golden retriever mix oh that cool. And then a mini Aussie. Oh, sick. But I would have like 10 dogs if I could, dude. Yeah. Isn't there a limit?

Is there? I don't know. Oh, I don't know. I feel like there must be a limit. I don't know. Like a hundred dogs and just like. Yeah, there probably is somewhere in certain states and areas. But fuck it, dude.

I love dogs. Yeah. Dogs are cool. Are they your favorite animal? No, I don't really have one. I don't me too hard to choose yeah i don't even have a dog oh you don't no you have 200 animals everyone come over and i'll see all the animals are like oh and you have everything but a dog like yeah pretty much any cats have a cat yeah it's a rescue yeah wow so you're a cat guy yeah it's just a rescue because like basically when i went to like i was at this place and they're like this is his

last weekend to live like pretty much he's gonna like basically it was like 5 p.m they're like nobody's taking him he's already had three chances to get adopted that's it pretty much i'm like i'll take him what's he uh like he attacks people type of cat no so the thing is like he he hates other dogs and cats so if he's around other dogs and cats he'll attack everything around him like even people but then like when he's by himself he's like the biggest people person cat ever so he's like the nicest cat so they had him down as like a piece of shit he's not like he's really nice dude my stepbrother had a cat that they found on the street and he would attack the fuck out of you yeah yeah it was wild yeah as soon as you got near him he's feisty if you fuck with him but like

he's super friendly yeah yeah i feel that i'm more of a dog guy cats are hit or miss some of them are super friendly i'd like a jaguar that'd be cool a what jaguar oh jaguar yeah can you own those yeah oh yeah no no i would own one i used to like them growing up they're fast right yeah they've been pretty faster than me for sure so you need a big ass backyard for that yeah do you have animals living inside and outside your crib yeah that's sick yeah anything try to run away um yeah the cat went for a little walk the other day like snakes will get out sometimes coyotes out here yeah yeah gotta watch out for that but um yeah snakes will get out sometimes imagine just seeing a random snake in the road yeah you'll find the snake like just crawling through the kitchen geez there's a whole nother side to you outside this animal stuff with

your podcast i want to talk about that oh yeah i saw some dudes sucking some girls toes oh yeah what the hell is going on with that so like um well because everybody's doing podcasts and i wanted to do you know like do something so i thought it'd be fun to do a dating show podcast so pretty much like if the guest has a girlfriend or boyfriend then i'll bring like a friend of theirs on or somebody else to help coach. And then basically the guest or whoever's going on the dates will go on four, like three minute speed dates, then pick their two favorite for head to head final five minute date.

So it's been fun because like people are actually being going on dates. Wow. Yeah. And then like, I'll have a girl on there'll be like four guys that are there to date the girl. Yeah. And then they'll end up becoming friends. And then now they're like best friends and hanging out and doing stuff together wow so it's funny

yes i've had all these people come through and they're like oh you've actually been creating this little community of like people and now they're all becoming you know little friendship groups okay you're becoming a matchmaker yeah cupid out here yeah that's the plan it'd be fun because when i was a kid i used to throw a lot of house parties and like i'd bring different groups of friends together and i have like three different friends that got like have kids together now because i introduced them like through different yeah you're good at cracking the dots man yeah so that's the kind of the idea is like kind of like start like broad with like different guests come on do like just wild dates and just see what happens but eventually like i'm hopefully gonna find the right people for people

i love that is that how you met your girl and we met after i did the boxing fight in england oh yeah i did the misfits fight yeah yeah I did the Misfits fight yeah yeah I did the first one because at the time my manager was KSI's manager okay so like they were like

you got to do this boxing thing like to help with your music career and I'm like I don't know okay so I had six weeks and then six weeks to train?

so you lost or so I won the first two rounds but because I didn't know how to pace myself like the third round it was like a standing eight count yeah but I thought it was a 10 count so when i was standing there they counted like eight and they like waved it off because i'm resting on the ropes trying to get my breath back because i just dumped all my adrenaline yeah and i'm like well that's it like

i was like because i was still good to go i was just trying to like catch my breath but like yeah but it was it was a really good experience and they wanted me to do more but i'm like why because like my mentality is like unless like like you're Logan or Jake Paul, you're kind of just fighting for no reason. Yeah. Because nobody's really that interested in the mid-level fights. There's a small community.

I don't know how many, but obviously there's a small level amount of people interested in those, but I don't think there's, because I see a lot of my friends doing them, but like I don't really see their socials growing from it. Yeah. Not enough to monetize it at that level.

Yeah. And it's just like, it's, it's really fun. It's like totally worth the experience. I'd never been in a fight my whole life. So to do it. And then in front of 20, something thousand people,

cause like the arena was already full because like KSI fought at the beginning and the end. Yeah. So I got that experience of like literally having a fight in front of 20,000 people. That was, I didn't even do all out sparring before that fight either. So that was my first proper,

like just go for it fight ever who'd you fight against sam hyde who's like six seven damn so you had the reach on you yeah yeah and he was like two 280 or something holy shit so i was like it was such a good experience to be like okay i finally get to like actually do a real fight you know what i mean because i've never done anything never been in a street fight nothing so it was really really cool experience but i'm like but then to continue that it's like okay you literally have to train all day long you're absolutely exhausted to be like competitive or like yeah at some sort of level you gotta dedicate three months a year to training and yeah so you pretty much cannot do anything else so i'm like can't drink or party

yeah so they're like the i don't know i feel like the amount of effort you need to put in for what you're getting out of it's just not for me it was yeah it's a long game for sure if you're just doing it on the side it's tough yeah i'm too old to be like professional boxer now like it's over yeah that ain't happening so then like yeah when i see a lot of these other like my other friends that are like influencers doing it i'm like i don't know i feel like they do it because they want to help build their other parts of their careers but i don't think it's really going to do that i feel that so she saw you get knocked out and she just fell in love yeah the next day i had a black eye that was the next day i think it was the next day yeah i love that so she's from the uk yeah well

she's russian oh shit those russian girls are different yeah love that man so you live out here now though right yeah do you like australia or us better us because like australia there's nothing it's the same thing when i was in the uk right so when i after i did the boxing fight i was there for three months and i tried to get some work done, you know, just, you know, do some creative stuff, whatever. Like nobody is really down to collab or. In the UK. Yeah.

They don't really understand like why you would do that. Right. Everybody's really in their own world. And the only people that seem to really be cool to collaborate were people that had been to America and realized how it worked here.

Yeah. That's, that was so strange. I was like, okay, so like, it's just like really, it's not really like that. I think as an America, it's like really like, you can do anything. Cause that's the one so strange i was like okay so like it's just like really it's not really like

that i think because in america it's like really like you can do anything because that's the one problem about america too is like when i moved here is like i want to make a supplement company and everybody's like yeah let's do it together and they have no idea how to even do it like in australia if i was like i want to make a supplement company my friend would be like you're an idiot like just drink a beer and go to the beach what the fuck's wrong with you like why the fuck would you even do that and i don't know how to do that i'm not fucking helping you but i feel like in america if you seem enthusiastic about something everybody will try and be like yeah i'll help you even if they don't know because they just be like i want to ride your coattails if this works out

like i'll come for the ride you know right so that's the one thing you're going to navigate here yeah it's more entrepreneurial here for sure yeah people but that's the thing even when i moved here like like i was with like all kinds of different musicians and they're like i'll come to the studio and just jam and play anything and then we'll just record it into the song and i'm like what the fuck is this like i'm so used to like here's the music play exactly what it is you know like you can't play the violin like that it's like a classical instrument you have to play it in the style of the composer that is exactly how they want it to be played wow and then i'll be with some random rapper and he's just like play some random shit that's that's you know it's like that's fire put that in and

then i'll be like let's record it on the phone so it sounds like shittier quality yeah so it sounds more like cool and vibey and shit oh my god what is this like this is fucking cool because you can just you can just make shit up here you can make a random career out of nothing i love that dude i've heard europe in general not even just the uk it's pretty closed off yeah they just really it's like i don't know just really not like creative in that way i used to have a i had a guest on from denmark i think yeah denmark and he said he had a nice ass car and people would just scratch it up because they were jealous oh yeah in australia if you see somebody like a nice car like all my friends would be like guy must be a dick yeah no like in america it's like oh that's so sick that's a cool yeah i'd be

like what does that guy do yeah i want to meet that guy like yeah it's a completely if you're like a normal i feel like if you have a normal career like if you're a lawyer oh that's so sick that's a cool guy what does that guy do I want to meet that guy yeah that's a completely opposite damn that's wild if you're like a normal I feel like if you have a normal career like if you're a lawyer or whatever it's probably better

being in Europe or Australia because you have probably better benefits like better quality of life in general but if you're more entrepreneurial and you want to work hard

then this is way better because you have the opportunities but like yeah in those countries it's already built for that you know I also noticed my mindset's not like that yeah when i went to amsterdam people didn't give a shit about my social media like they don't they don't care to be honest yeah that's my way

back to perth and australia like people didn't really have instagram yeah it was just like maybe they had facebook wow in australia yeah damn nobody gave a shit it was funny too because i went to the clubs in perth but this was like three years ago when i went back last and i swear the music they're playing in the clubs was the same music from like 15 years ago what the fuck like you guys like stuck and like you know mid-2000s things have progressed now because of the internet i feel like but i feel like especially when i grew up like things were like you know so like you know like so far backwards like when i came to america it's like just like the leaps how much more ahead everything is you know what i mean yeah people complain about america that live here but it's like dude there's not many better options you

know what i mean i go in that kind of trap a little bit because when i was living in california i was like started to bit bitching about all the fucking rules alicia yeah i get it it's like there's so many freaking people there like it's like the more people the more rules otherwise like there's like mayhem right right that's why i think it was like in montana they didn't even have speed limits to like oh really yeah too like recently and it was like the last 20 years because like apparently the government said like you know we're not we're not going to give you your infrastructure money until you enforce speed limits because they were like well like the animals enforce the limits like if you're driving fast and it's a deer like you know how fucking fast to

drive like don't drive that fast like you'll die like they just didn't give a shit even now like montana when you register register a car you don't they don't even have to see it you can like register i don't even know what like some wheels and a piece of wood and they're like here's your sticker like we got to get out there man kanye's out there isn't it yeah you know that oh yeah because you know that was a scam people were running in la which one like they would buy like bugattis and they would register oh yeah people did that in vegas too yeah yeah there's no tax right yeah there's no tax on the car and then also like don't have to see it so you just make a business and you're like here's my car and i mean it saves a lot if you're buying a two hundred thousand dollar car

you're saving 20 g's yeah you save a lot of money and then i think it's a registration for yeah the registration is for life oh wow so it says it says like unlimited or something on like the sticker and then like but then you just pay your fee for your company that you have out there yeah llc dude i'm paying 1500 for registration a year here yeah it's crazy get rid of that i know montana they probably patched it by now yeah but i think the thing was like people were driving around with gaddies in la and the police were like come on you live here really i see where you keep this in montana yeah for real but yeah the smaller the state i guess the less rules is gonna have because they don't need them so i I get it. I understand why they have to have more regulation.

Yeah, I get it. Yeah, hell of people complain about LA. But at the end of the day, LA is one of the nicest places in the world. Yeah. If you look at it from an outsider. I mean, go somewhere else and then see how many rules and shit they have enforced and then see how you like it. Yeah. Certain countries, you can't even smoke weed.

You can't do shit. Can't own certain animals. Oh, yeah. You own 200 animals. Everything's like very black and white too. Like in Australia, like this is the rule. This is is how it is like there's no wiggle room yeah like in america like it's kind of gray you know what i mean like you can people will be nice to you and like you can figure shit out for real was your mother upset with uh with the music path you chose

no oh she wasn't nah she used to come and watch me do the videos and film them from behind the scenes comes from the classical scene yeah she said it. Damn. I think like also it's more like the really high-end classical musicians that I'm friends with will like thought my videos were fun and just like a bit of, you know, a good time. It's more like those, it's the same with everything, right?

It's the mid-level people that haven't really made it that want to pretend that they're like all high and mighty and give you shit for shit. Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's always those people.

Always. Yeah, I've never gotten hate from someone where I like respect the guy yeah because if you if they're killing it in their own field doing their own thing then they just there's mutual respect there yeah like cool like that's what you're doing you know you don't go fuck this guy like you're only saying that because you wish that you were somewhere yeah absolutely thompson's in fun man uh where can people find you and anything you want to promote just i am thompson online they'll find it cool we'll link it below man i'll stay tuned for the sanctuary i can't wait to see that come through absolutely awesome thanks for watching guys peace
