We want out! We want out! We want out! We want out! All right, guys, we got a crazy day at the office here. Dana came through. You guys get Mike on the camera, too? He just popped in. I think he's too stoned to do the pod right now. Actually, he's never too stoned. What am I saying? By the way, you know that gift, Dana. You just got a gift from Mike, right? I said what? You just got a gift from Mike?

Yeah, I got a gift from Mike. Yeah. I don't think that a gift, though, it was supposed to be for you. It was supposed to be for you, Kyle. That's the funny thing. I got one, too. Oh, you both got one? Yeah, yeah. John came over to me and John said Mike was kind of high and gave the gift to Dana by mistake.

Oh, yeah. No, no, I got one too. Did you get one? No, I didn't get a gift. Oh, wow. No. Did Mike remember you? You're awful quiet today. Listen, I got a bono to pick with you too. Are you mad at me? You got a, I'm not mad at you.

Why would I mean? Cool, because I didn't know if I, because, you know, the A. You're a paranoid lunatic. I know. As usual. As usual. John called Dana and Dana didn't even know. He said what he's Bob talking about.

Oh, really? No, I just thought he's mad at me because you're a lot. usually, you know, Dana's pretty good about the texts and everything. Well, and you text them 50 times in one week. And if I don't answer 33 face-times a night when he's drinking, he thinks I'm mad at them. Yeah, my bad. He's FaceTiming me at 2.45 in the morning, and he thinks I'm mad at him because I didn't answer to FaceTime. No, it's usually whenever I'm having anxiety or anything like, I call you.

Like, for some reason, you like, calm me down. Yeah, no. I'm not mad at you. I'll let those go soon. I'll stop calling you. I'm sorry. But, yeah, we thought it would be cool to have Dana back on the pod because it's doing so well now. Dana was the first guest on the podcast, so you helped us...

Congrats, boys. Like, Dana coming on, I appreciate you coming on first, because that gave us the leverage and the reputation. You know, Dana coming on first and really believing in the pod, and now it's killing it, and we love doing it, so... Pleasure, brother. Anything for you guys, you know that. Yeah.

So what's good? You got in today? Just right now. Just landed. And this is the first time. This is a cool place to hang out every day. It's cool, right? It came together, like, pretty quick, too.

The full send-off? Is this hidden? The kids are not nowhere this place? not really no no one really knows we better keep it that way yeah I know we got security at the front 24 7 so this is the first event in California in a while right yeah how long has it been

I want to say it's been like two and a half years two and a half three years since we've been in California and and definitely down here at the Honda Center but we're the number one and number three all-time gate now at Honda Center it was the Rolling Stones 3.5 million and this weekend sold out $5 million gate. So we're number one and number three

and the stones are number two. Damn. That's a big fight tomorrow, too. Do you go on the fight? I think my ticket's still active, right? Yeah, yeah, you're in. Okay, good. By the way, I'm bringing a good guy.

I'm bringing summer. I'm bringing my girl, summer. Is that right? Yes, that's what you should do. That's what you should do. Keeps me calm, keeps me not partying. Keeps me in bed at 830 in night. Are you sober right now?

Yeah, I mean, I had a couple, you know, I've had a couple beers the past couple days. But, yeah, nothing like. I thought you were bringing Timmy bounce back. he's been hitting me up. No, no. Telling me he's sober and can I come to the event, I'm sober. That had nothing to do with me whatsoever because last time,

last time Timmy came to the event, he had Mickey Wark and a fucking headlock during the main event. He's, yeah, that had nothing to do with me. I love Timmy, but that's not my, that's not my play. How big is this fight you think for like the UFC, the one coming on? It's a big one. You know, obviously, every time that the heavyweight championship is on the line, it's a big deal. But when you have literally the two best heavyweights in the world, and the two best heavyweight strikers in the world,

it's a fun night. It's going to be awesome, man. It's going to be a killer event on Saturday night. Yeah, Cyril Gahn's like, what, 10 and 0, right? He's undefeated and technically the greatest heavyweight striker in UFC history. Yeah, what's he ranked right now? What's he ranked right now in the heavyweight? He's the interim champion.

Oh, he is. He's the number one contender, yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a good fight. You know, Francis Nganyu has 100% finish rate he's knocked out everybody that he's yeah he got some power and then you got the most technical striker in ufc history with zero gone undefeated it just i mean Vince McMahon couldn't write a better script than this one bad blood that they have going on with each other contract negotiations you know all this crazy shit it's just it doesn't get any better than everyone's begging for money

huh everyone's begging for money i hope so that's funny how do we get mike in the ufc yeah mike's just he's listening to this heavy way i don't i don't listen i love Mike? I don't want Mike to step in for a minute. I don't want Mike to fight anymore. Last time Mike was here, didn't end well. I got too high with your shit, dude. I'm not high right now. And I did it again. You maybe spoke again.

I wanted to say that too. What do you think about the heavyweight championship? The whole world's going to be watching this. I had just saw, I never knew about the guy, um, several. And that's on fight Derek. Yep. And man, he just, man, broke him down. He's a bad boy. He was, I said, wow, you know what I mean?

He's actually smart. He's jabs and a hell of a jab. And I was thinking the same thing. How much does he weigh? He's got to be like 265, yeah. Who, Cyril? Yeah. Wow, that's good, man.

What do you think, hey, somebody tell me what Cyril Gahn weighs. Maybe he's 240. I mean, like, look it up and, like, really tell me what he weighs. The whole room could guess. 247. 47 and so he's like 20 pounds underweight last time when he's like 264 or something in that effect right yeah well you know francis 265 he'll come in that dude's a monster man it's fast too yeah powerful i heard they sparred before yeah yeah they used to train together yeah yeah that's that's the

bad blood story of this thing they both come from the same camp and uh francis and ganyu left that camp and now there's all this bad blood bad blood over that yeah yeah Yeah, okay. Bob's got some Tyson 2.0 in his hand. I said, fuck it, Mike's here, round two. Thank you very much. Last time our talk was crazy. I don't mean to cut you guys off,

but you got me so high. I got in a lot of trouble when I went home. Mike, how's Tyson 2.0 been doing since we last caught up? It's been doing very well. It's in 18 states, and we're still pushing. 18 states? Yes. We broke all the records that's never happened before

in the history of cannabis distribution. That's crazy. I didn't know you're in that many states. I'm just happy. I'm in one state. state. Everything matters. Are you guys in Canada yet or no?

I have no I have no idea. Adam will... Not yet, no. No, no. Canada will go crazy for that. Were you supposed to fight Jake Paul? I read something?

You know something that's interesting? No, it's Logan. Or Logan? I think it's Jake, the youngest one, right? Yeah. Every, um... They say it's 10, but it's like every 12 or 13 months boom something's missing

like something's missing boom I'm losing muscle math boom it's always something different and I don't know I'm just guys want to fight me for a hundred million bucks I don't think I'll never do stuff like that anymore I wanted to do it the first time

just for fun just to have fun and then some people took it to another level and made it financial and then the fun went out of it I love you. I don't want to see you fight anymore, man. I know you get mad at me when I say that, but I do. I don't want to see you fighting anymore, man.

I don't think I will either, but you never know again. Let everybody buy Tyson 2.0, man, and fuck the fighting shit. No, that's the shit that makes you want to fight, Tyson 2.0. Exactly. How far did that get? Did they, like, really try to make that happen by offering you, like, a deal or something? It was all word in mouth and stuff. I don't know.

The problem is, anybody offering you $100 million to fight? You're the draw. You're the draw. I'm not interested in doing the stuff. I mean it's fun at the first. If it was back on when it first started, yes, and we were both fighting in the same car.

We were both active. Yeah, we would do it. But it just turned into a, it just turned into a, it just turned, it turned out right. Did you get paid all the money you were supposed to get paid

from your first fight? Did you ever get that money? Most of it, but still is a bunch of it's held up. I can't even say anything about this. But yeah, it was really tricky. Yeah. Yeah, Dana.

That's what they should call it, tricky instead of triller. Yeah, it's really tricky. How does that work, Dana? Because I see a lot of people, like, people always bring up the fighter pay with the UFC. But what's like, isn't Logan complaining right now that he didn't get his checks from Floyd? Is that like a boxing issue versus a boxing thing? You don't ever hear that coming out. To this day?

You hear a guy going, oh, I want to make $30 million. I didn't get paid enough. You don't ever hear a guys going, yeah, they didn't pay me yet, ever. Is that like a boxing issue? Well, here's what happens. When you go in and you do these fights and you make. and Hunter, correct me if I'm wrong, you do these fights that are exhibitions or whatever, the commission isn't overseeing it. So let's say I did a fight with Mike. I got Mike

fighting, you know, Francis or something. The athletic commission gets the money up front. So they pay the fighters. They don't have to wait for, that was the big problem in the past is that these boxing promoters would come in and they wouldn't make as much money as they thought they were going to do so they would stiff the fighters and not pay the guys. And that's why these regulations are in place in these different states and that's why you know I don't want to shit on any of the other states but

you want to fight in like Nevada or California these guys that have a strong... The best ever yeah the best ever yeah really so it makes a different like this the boards like control like the payout? A hundred percent Really? Okay 100 percent Mike who's your favorite UFC fighter

in the UFC? Wow too many it wouldn't be too modern It'll be some guys during the middle passage of it. You know, when it first started, some of them guys was incredible. Now the guys, everybody, like, I always love Huys Gracie. He was everybody's fans because he was the David beating all the Goliathes. But now everybody knows that style now.

You know, so now it elevated to a new level. And now all these guys coming out, it's just, from a financial perspective, it's just blowing up. And I don't know, because, like I said before, it's the most entertaining. Fights just started doing what UFC started doing from the beginning, entertaining. When there's no fight at the party going on, there's music going on. And that's what boxing took away, took from UFC. And now guys from, like the poor brothers, now they're getting involved with this.

And it's fantasy, but it's real. And that's what makes it so financially successful. seeing this guy blonde hair blue eye beautiful handsome baby face successful in a brute palety

monster sport that sells fuck yeah fuck yeah I forgot I was gonna say Mike's just so fun to watch speak it's just mesemizing yeah I'm just a little reserve today

because I don't even East Don't? Yeah now I'm high obviously you know Hey it's okay for me to leave now much lips all chap and shit. Yeah, do you think. Yeah, you're good.

Thanks. Mike, thanks for stopping in. Yeah, thanks, Mike. We appreciate it. That was just a random pop-in. That was pretty sick. So, Dana, back to real quick,

the Jake Paul thing. You, I mean, it keeps going back and forth, but you made a video against him, right? Didn't you make that call out to him? Yeah, it was, you know, he keeps talking about me with, with the cocaine thing.

I said, let's do drug tests. You can drug test me for the next 10 years for cocaine. And for the next two years, I can drug test you for performance-enhanced drugs. And he never really responded. He said, how about you test all your fighters? Right. The warlock should have told them, we test all our fighters. We do test all our fighters.

So in boxing, they don't have to get tested. That's not the same things. If what? No. Like in his fights, they don't have to get tested at all? Our guys are tested by USADA. And boxing's not? Like the hard.

No. the toughest drug testing policy in all of sports we have. And, you know, he started saying, oh, I've been over here, look at me, I'm fat. I don't care how long it was ago that you fought. You just out of drug test you, and you took drugs, they're going to catch you. What would he have to do to, like, earn your respect? It's not that he doesn't have my respect. You know, I don't even know the kid at the end of the day.

I don't even know the kid. And you know what? To be honest with you, I'll tell you right here right now, this is the last time you'll hear me talk about him. I'm done with it. I put out the challenge. He said, you know, you do Coke. You know, I said, I think you use performance and answer drugs.

Let's do it. He never responded to it. So fire away, kid, do your thing. I'm, you know. I'm sitting here. I'm arguing with this kid that doesn't fight for me and it's never going to fight for me. So what's the point? And even he and I going back and forth with each other.

What if he was to come into the UFC? What if he came into MMA? Would you let him? Would I let it? Well, he can do whatever he wants to do. Like what if he's like, I want to fight in the UFC? UFC. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think that would ever happen, but listen, I never say never anymore, you know. That'd be pretty crazy. I didn't think Floyd and Connor would

end up, or I would end up doing any of my guys versus Floyd, because that just makes absolutely no sense, but it happened, so. I know, I wonder if he had the balls if Jake, like, really said, I'm going to come into the UFC. That'd, like, fucking shocked. I've seen something. No one's done that. No one's, I mean, who did it back in the day? Lesnar did it. Who came in a box? It would be the O.G. guy did. James Tony.

James Tony. He did it. But no one's had the balls to come into the UFC. That'd be fucking, that'd be crazy. He said he's going to train with, like, Kabeb or something like that. Like, I seen. Jake Paul was like, I'm reaching out to Khabib or something like that. That's what I've seen.

But, I mean, I don't know if he'll do it. But that would be crazy if he was in the UFC, though. It'd be entertaining. I mean, just to see him get his asswool, because I know you, like, I want to see him get knocked out. You're, you know, he was seeing stuff. I heard you want that. Yeah, so I would like to. Not because I hate him, but like, it'd be crazy.

Jake, call in the ring, Dana watching from the TVs, us in the stands right there. That'd be fucking. I don't hate them either. I don't even know him. I don't hate them, but I mean, a lot of people would like to see him, like, lose. You know what I mean? I'm one of them. You're not.

And he plays to that. He knows that. Yeah, yeah, for sure. His whole schick. That's ran his course to Paul Dana thing is done. No, what? I said, you're a little thing. It's ran his course.

saying so you're not going to respond to whatever again i'm done done perfect i love it nfts by the way big day for you guys pretty crazy yeah do you anything about these nfts listen yeah i mean we're we're in that space too um you know we're getting all our shit together to launch ours and you know i was i was watching i had uh rie son leo hit me up today saying i i can't get into this white list can you help me get into this white list like kids kids were freaking out and uh you know i i saw you guys killed it man but when don't you kill it everything you do killed it you guys are killing it in everything that you do it's impressive what you guys have pulled off and what you've done i think the nfts shit's so cool because to me it's like it's like a modern day or like a decentralized

way to for people to like invest in us so like wool the way i understand it and i don't think many people are doing this but it's kind of like we our fans give us money right so we just sold a bunch so we have the money and then in exchange we give them a medicine and then so they have something right that they can verify as theirs and now we have all this money and our job is to build shit so we're going to launch like physical locations like we're going to launch full send lounges we're going to start here and then maybe do one in Vegas Miami New York so we're going to launch like physical shit that's only available for our holders and then that's just like one of the many things we're going to do but that'll drive up the price of their metacard

you know so it's like they're giving us money we get the money we do as much shit possible to to drive up the price of their MediCard. So it's kind of like they're investing in getting a return, you know? And you're taking that money and fueling it into all these different things you're building, right? Yeah, yeah, a ton of money. Like, now we have, like, a real budget off the money that we made to hire, like, a full team just to focus on the utilities for Mediard holders, which is pretty cool, I think, right?

Wow. Very cool. So you guys got a long road ahead of you then. It's, like, a long journey. So I think in the NFT space, a lot of people are just in it. They're like day traders on stocks. So they're just like, sell this, buy this, sell this, like, buy it for an hour, sell it for the next so we kind of really did something different with it which is like it's a long-term thing you know

yeah it's pretty crazy what we could build over the next five years if if it's done properly you know but we've already been thinking on this playing field of we could have full send locations we could have full sun festivals like Coachella or Rolling Loud right so now that we have holders it's just all kind of merging together it's pretty cool I think the UFC shit will be what was that what was What was that helicopter real cool? What was that helicopter hollerhead thing that I saw? The things that were dropping the sky. Yeah, I've seen that the other day too.

What was that? Station Casinos created that on their... What? Did you guys ask them to do that? They had that tall. Shut up tall. He made that. They do that stuff all the time for us.

Yeah. They're big supporters of a happy dad and hallerhead. Is hollerhead doing well? Yeah. Well, it ain't doing... So how many states, howlerhead in now? We're in every state except one. And I can't remember what the one state is that we're not in,

but it's something like, you know, West Virginia or something, right? I mean, I can't remember what it is, but yeah. How did, like, the whole inception of, like, Howlerhead come about? The Rock. I was at dinner with The Rock one night, and I always wanted to get into a liquor. You know, I didn't think I would be in it like I am Howlerhead, but, you know, just a piece. And, you know, I would promote it and do whatever. And we were talking about it that night.

And he's like, you know what? You're in. Let's do it. And then he called me back two days later and said, shit, man. I'm sorry, there's no more, there's no more to give. I didn't realize that night, and I said, it's all good. Then his agent called me back like two days later and goes, you're not going to believe this.

You know, there's a guy that wants to do a liquor deal, and he's looking for somebody, and I told him he should talk to you. We hit it off, and he sent me over like, I don't know, 60 bottles of liquor to try. And I went through him. I had a bartender at my house. We were just making tranks, mixing it up and howlerhead was the one i went with what's your like favorite thing about

the like the alcohol business oh god listen i've always wanted to be in it i'm besides it's the fact that it's fucking cool exactly i'm super passionate about it you know and uh i like to drink yeah i like to drink and um and i love getting out there and meeting with the distributors i love hearing what what the fans think of it and uh you know getting the feedback on it and there's nothing cooler than when you walk into a bar somewhere and your bottle of liquor sitting up on the on the back of the bar pretty cool shit 100% I saw you talk I saw that interview I don't know which when you were on it was on like a podcast those older guys where you told that mob story what I was wondering if you could tell us that like what what went down with that this was back

in the day when you used to live in Boston yeah yeah to escape Boston yeah I was in the in the late 80s early 90s and uh you know I lived in south Boston you know that the uh uh There's a bunch of movies and documentaries that were made about Whitey Bulger and his crew there. Is that your territory, Bob, or what? Boston, yeah. Yeah. So, and everybody says it was Whitey Bulger. It wasn't.

It was one of his guys. And, you know, they basically rolled into one of my gyms one day and basically said I owed him $2,500. For what? For being there. For working there, for doing what I was doing. Just like rent. Yeah. So, you know, to me, that was like, $2,500.

like 25 grand back that night. I didn't have 2,500 bucks. So, you know, I tried to avoid him for a while and you can only avoid that shit for so long. And one day I was at my house and I got a call and the guy says, you got till tomorrow, it was a Saturday. The guy's like, you got till tomorrow at one to pay us. And I said, or what? Are you going to find out what? So I literally hung up the phone, picked it back up and called Delta. You got a fucking one-way ticket to Vegas. Damn. And that was a wrap. so is that like mob like kind of done in boston now um or they still kind of around you know that gang is you know have like they were like but these weren't like uh this wasn't like they still coming for

the 25 this wasn't like some fucking you gotta pay him to the 2500 you got to understand i mean if you've seen any of the movies these aren't some fucking pop no yeah calling you up for 2500 these are real guys like real guys like that's frightening yeah they they fucking killed people man they have they ever tried to like get in contact with you and you like got that big you know never i mean not long after i left is when they started digging up all the bodies down at the beach and you know the whole thing started to unravel when when whitey went on the run damn that's crazy and the craziest thing about that whole thing back then is is that they had like this coat of silence thing in southeast which meant if if you and i had a fucking problem right

even if i shot you say i fucking shot you you don't go to the police right me and you work it out or we don't you know and it was a really it was like living in another fucking planet when when when I lived there and uh you end up finding out that whitey was in with the police you know the FBI was informing him of people that would call and you know try to rat him out or whatever he was caught out here right whitebell was caught in Santa Monica I think yeah he was caught in San Monica they got him out here in the apartment buildings I forget the exact story how it happened but what's good with uh we we were gonna go because we did the podcast with ozman and then all he invite us to kebibs shit yeah we got advised it yeah what's up with that you know where is it

miami miami yeah i'm miami yeah on the 28th yeah yeah um is he starting like a league or is it like a one-off event yeah no i think he's he's starting a league yeah yeah wow like to compete against you you know i'm sure yeah that's it's called yeah damn um it's called east Eagle FC, Eagle FC, right? Mm-hmm. Yeah, that's the name. And, but there's tons of these events

that go on every weekend. Right. That you guys probably don't even realize that happen every weekend all over the world. So, but yeah, he's got some real money behind them. And, you know, I keep telling him, you're going to learn what it's like to be on this side of the fucking fence.

Did he come to you when he decided to do that lately? He's the most respectful fucking kid in the world, man. He's a great dude. Always been straight up with us and, you know, All good with him. I think we're going to get him on the podcast, right, Slame? Yeah. Awesome.

That'd be sick. Yeah. Because he's a dope guy. Yeah. So he won't be, he's, so is he going to fight in this league or is he going to just? No, no, he's basically like Dana of the league. He's retired. Dana of his league.

Yeah. So you came here in Steve's van that he got you? No, they're driving it out here right now. Oh, really? My guy, Eric, you know Eric. Yeah, Eric's driving it out here right now. The people go crazy when they see you driving by that? Yeah.

People are hanging out their windows and, yeah. Oh, really? That fucking thing gets a lot. attention, man. How crazy are their fans? Steve's fan. It's insane. It's not.

You're the most loyal fan base of all time. You're really caught off guard too. And I feel like Dana and us have like integrated. So like Dana's like an honorary knelt boy. Dude, 100%. Every fucking where I go, people roll up to be asking if the knelt boys are coming.

Everywhere I go. It's true. Really? We did this badass motorcycle ride last summer. We started in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, rode all the way through Wyoming up through Montana. We're in this time. tiny little fucking town.

I want to say it was called Cody. I can't remember, but I think it was Cody. And we come to this hotel and all these fucking kids are standing out front of the place, right? And, you know, I don't know. They're there for me. So I get off the bike and they're all like,

hey, they do I do I? I'm like, oh shit, what's up? And they're like, oh, the knuck boys coming. I'm like, the knuck boys aren't coming. That's my life is the same way. Everywhere I go, it's always like, is Kyle and Steve here. It's like I really fucking want to just off myself it's i don't know how you guys do it you don't like it no not at all i don't like i think

you secretly love it no i secretly don't love it no no i like to stay low-key chilling face time dana occasionally at three in the morning and just live my life you know by the way the facetime what did you watch the ntonio brown interview yes i did i have the you have the brady shirt on did you feel like this is for you motherfucker i know by the way once again probably the biggest tom brady you hate brady i don't think brady knows what your problem is with brady tom brady is my favorite quarterback my one with my family the way Tom Brady brought that city of Boston together

for all the time I live there you know I fucking love Tom Brady that's why the media spun that shit Antonio Brown didn't bash it that hard you think you did in that interview do you think Antonio no I agree I agree if you actually watch the fucking interview when you called me after and explained it to me I got it what was he trying to say

like I didn't really understand him I mean he was basically just saying like they just took that one little clip it yeah yeah I know that and then like you just I realized it the first ever how crazy the media can spin this. Oh yeah. Yeah. It's insane because if you go and watch that interview from start to finish

it is a whole different story than what ESPN and all these different outlets Yeah, I love day B. I love ESPN, but I'm saying. Everyone's just looking for clicks. Yeah. Even with this NFT shit now too, even if it's just a tweet, people are just looking for likes. How can I just get the most likes? You guys are getting hit a little bit in the Twitter right now a little bit too. A little bit, but I think that's just because we're shaking up the space. I agree. I think we're coming in and we're doing

something different and people don't quite understand it but i don't really care and also too how many people do you have the discord 320 000 you have 320 000 right probably all vying for a 10 000 person spot right yeah there's 10 000 people are going to get them right so the rest are just going to automatically fucking lose their shit but obviously you guys have future projects that you're building and so if it's shit in a year then they can talk to us you know or even three months and i don't think you guys will let it be shit in year no hell no this fails it kills the brand you You know what I mean? Absolutely kills the brand.

So, like, why the fuck? You guys aren't interested in $25 million. I know you guys want to grow this thing to fucking a half-billion-dollar company. I think our holders are going to be extremely happy. The people that aren't holding are going to be the ones bitching and fucking... Yeah, my alarm didn't go off, by the way. But we have a chat on Discord that... My alarm didn't go off.

You didn't, yeah, you didn't show up. I didn't find... No, I showed up late just because I had. But my alarm didn't go off. I didn't get a fucking medicard. I didn't get a fucking medicard. He stays in L.A. So I always tell him come down to OC

Like chill you could stay at my house and shit He never comes down Yesterday when he saw all the buzz about the NFTs And how many numbers we were getting in the chat He came down to try to get his cut He drove down and he said hey I'm coming down today I came down like the fucking mob I'm surprised he's not fucking

All right this is not turning into the Meta Rose story here This is not a Menry Rose session You guys would have never sold this many MetaCard You know my bits you keep it down You know my bits I am the godfather So listen back to back to to Jake Paul. Let's go back to Jake Paul for a minute.

How about that? Let's go deep time to Jake Paul and all that. I feel like talking about that a little more. You know? So, but were you, but Brady, did Brady reach out to you to all about our interview? No, no, no, no. Okay, good. No. No. We're just not relevant enough of Brady. Do you even care? I mean, he must have, I was, I must have seen it, my boy. You got it. I was, too. Listen, right after A.B. said that. I said

Tom Brady, Brady is the greatest ever. I'm a fucking diehard Brady fan. And so, like, yeah, I didn't know. know if Antonio Brown, can he still come to the fight? Huh? Brady said if I ever see that punk Bob Minnery on the fucking streets, let me tell you what's going to happen. Fuck yeah, I made it. I made it.

He thinks you're serious, too. I want to see, maybe we talk some business shit. I was wondering, like, what do you think is, like, us and everyone in this office? Like, what's your best piece of, like, business advice that you've learned through, like, growing the UFC and all the ups and downs you've been? Like, I remember that I saw you talk about once you were, uh, when you guys were, like, in a hole. How much in debt were you guys?

Yeah, 44 million 44 million So like You guys had money And you're spending it to like He talked us through that Lorenzo called me one day And said

The fuck Tsunami warning Hopefully it's not that fucking tsunami warning Was a tsunami I'm not fucking with you I'm missing endangered and elderly What? Shit

Missing endangered elderly Endangered elderly All right well I thought that was my phone at first I was like, oh, fuck, my phone's fucking up. Do you hear about that volcano? Dana, did you hear about the volcano that blew up in Hawaii? Crazy, right?

Yeah, everybody got the tsunami warnings. Crazy, I know. But it would have happened by now. Wouldn't it? That was like two days ago. I hope so. I think so, too. I think staying right on the beach.

It actually doesn't make sense that it hasn't, that there hasn't been a tsunami from that. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think it was big enough. Big enough. It shot shit like 15 miles. I know, but also I think our shit, I don't know. I'm high.

There's earthquakes that cause tsunamis for crazy. You look at the surveillance video, the fucking earth exploded 15 feet up into the air or 50 feet or something I can't remember what the number was but yeah anyway

44 mil 44 mil yeah and Lorenzo calls me one night and says I can't keep funding this fucking thing man me and my brother are blowing all our fucking money and get out there and see what you can sell this thing for and I was like fuck so I started calling making some calls by the end of the night

I said probably get six maybe seven million um and they were like completely out at that point like they're like we got to sell it that's well that was where his head was yeah that you know probably had a shitty day at work stock probably took a hit that day who knows what went on in his world that day to make him make that call or he probably had to send another funding check over and uh he's like i'll call you tomorrow so all night i'm thinking oh man this is a fucking rap this is the end of this so the next morning And he calls me at like 7.30 and goes, fuck it. Let's keep going.

How much more did he need to put in? Well, then what happened was not long after that was when we, you know, came up with the concept for the ultimate fighter. And, you know, none of the networks wanted it. None of the networks were willing to pay for it. So you guys were like blacklisted at the beginning, right? Like UFC? Yeah. And you got to realize a lot of these television guys.

I mean, with the growth of all these alternative platforms now, I mean, it's a whole different world now than it was back then. You know, you're talking, this is 2001, between 2001 and 2005. I remember, like, I remember watching, because I used to watch a lot back then. And I remember, like, you guys were battling to, like, get into states, right? Like, you were, like, you were, like, speaking and saying, like, the states won't let us in, like. Well, think about this. Explaining the safety of MMA versus boxing.

That's crazy. We were trying to get back on pay-per-view, right? So as a grown adult, you couldn't make the, you didn't have the option to pay and watch this. Porn was on pay-per-view. UFC was not allowed.

That's how fucking bad it was. You know what I mean? So nobody wanted the ultimate fighter. The Fratida brothers said, what if we pay for it and give it to you and let you air it? They liked that idea. We did the deal at Spike.

And that was the last $10 million investment the brothers were putting in. Really? If the ultimate fighter flop, that was the end of it. Oh, right. And then where did the money start to come from after that? So then what happened was the ultimate fighter was a fucking smash hit. What was the first? Oh, was Forrest Griffin was a contestant?

Yeah. Forrest Griffin versus Stefan Bonner was the main event on the finale. Right. Which ended up being a fucking ridiculous. fights, right? Yeah, it was a knockdown. And who were the coaches? Huh? Who are the coaches? You remember? The coaches were Randy Gautour and Chuck Liddell. Okay. Yeah. And then, so you had 13 episodes of that. By episode three, we were pulling 2.3 million viewers on cable at that time was fucking huge. That was a huge number. And so then we did the coaches fought on pay-per-view, and it was massive.

and then from there just took off that's crazy so at you to credit like after 2005 every year we beat the previous year and six we beat five

and seven we beat six and in 20 we beat 19 and 21 we beat 20 I mean it's been like that since the ultimate fighter Workday knows there are two kinds of people in business backward thinkers and forward thinkers.

And when you're a forward thinker, you need an AI platform that thinks like you do. Built to evolve with your organization, Workday reimagines how you manage your people, money, and agents for long-term success, bringing all your most valuable resources onto one powerful platform so you can add value even faster.

Workday, moving business forever forward. So what do you think? What's your advice to someone when it's like the money's like, like tough like that if you want to achieve something. It's like the mindset you need to have. You don't quit, man. You have to, once you make, set your mind up and you say, this is what I'm doing,

I believe in this thing and I think this thing's going to work, you just keep grinding. Because you don't know. I mean, there's people and I mean, you guys probably know some of these people too hanging out in L.A. and shit. But, you know, there's people that I'm working on movies for 10, 15 years before the movie gets made, you know? It's just nothing happens overnight and nothing is easy. look how hard you work no you kids work hard man you guys are all over the place you're you're

all over everything and and everybody thinks that it's easy all let's let's get a fucking a YouTube channel and let's do this and that you have to grind and work your guys are in different cities every day almost and you know because now we have podcast yeah before it was just milk videos right so it's our main channel shoot pranks whatever but now we got that we got podcast and we got happy dad are you gonna are you gonna be able to keep up at this right with the far as like you guys are to continue to do the same amount of prank videos every well on knellk now we're doing like seasons so we're going to hype up like six episodes okay we just did that um and then we got like two videos left then we'll take a little bit of a break give the editors like

some chill time all chill not chill but you know just kind of reset creatively and then boom another six we did one we did the meet the parents one the other day yeah we're still filming milk we did uh the one where uh we pretend to be a girlfriend's boyfriend's boyfriend to the parents oh yeah yeah yeah so we prank people's parents like we pretend to be their boyfriend and show up at their house for dinner i prank the jewish family that's awesome that's actually a good one how about when they fucking shit in the pool when selim's walking down and just faking taking shits in the pool that's probably your favorite one oh yeah i never got to see the video where i didn't watch this one where the guy was splashing the camera oh yeah yeah look like you guys were you guys getting the beef with that dude yeah that was our filmer adrian i guess he was filming and the guy was just splashing his cameras actually i laughed at that part What's the worst things ever happen to you guys when you, like, has anybody ever, like, fought you guys? I've got punched once or twice. I got kicked in the nuts.

No, no, but imagine, like, seeing the person you, like, made hell of mad, like, in person, like, another time. You know what I mean? Like, imagine if you've seen them at, like, Walmart or whatever. That shit scares me. I'm scared of that. Because, like, what can you do? What do these guys do when they figure out their pranks? Some people love it, some people just, some people love it, some people don't like it.

But, like, when they're really, really pissed, it's, man, it's hard to tell them as a camera, because then you're going to piss them off a little more telling them that you're filming them. That's the hard part. But do you got to get these guys assigned releases? I mean, we tell them, like, if they're pissed, I mean, if they're pissed, like, we just tell them, like,

oh, we're filming. If they tell us, yo, I don't want to be on camera, we tell them, like, yeah. It's a little different now, but back in the day, we'd kind of just be like, if they got pissed, then we'd blur their face. But if they didn't, we wouldn't. And then if they complain, YouTube has a tool

where you can just like blur their face when the video's up before you had to take it down but yeah people have sued us I mean one one's still going on with that one guy one story the first time I went to jail in Canada was because we did a harmless prank

we had like 25 pizza box boxes me and Jesse and we were just delivering them to people's houses and saying like did you order pizza like it was the most lay down they're like no I didn't order 50 bucks of pizza it was the most harmless prank ever no one got mad but this one lady she got just so pissed

at it when she saw it like and she was so pissed and she gave us this crazy reaction she ran out onto the street and like screamed at us and she called me George Hennon because I had a I had an ID or I had a business card from a barber that said George Hennon so she called me George Hennon and I was like who's George Hennon it became a meme and when the video was posted we had blurred her license plate her address we blurred everything like we made sure but somehow people found out where she lived. Even though we blurred everything. They probably knew the neighborhood.

I guess. I think it was like a neighbor from across the street that leaked it or some shit because kids were watching outside. What did they do? So people started prank calling her. Oh God. And saying George Henan, George Henan, George Henan. But just called her?

They knew where she actually physically looked. They did. But they Googled her address. But it was blurred. It was 100% blurred. We double checked even on the video. We're like, how did they know? So they were prank calling her saying, who's George Henan, blah, blah, blah.

So she goes to the police station. Oh, shit. And we get charged with criminal harassed. Even when you blur it they get she was like a rich doctor in a rich neighborhood so like she had some pull with the police a little bit and they went hard on us so they charged us with criminal harassment and mischief over $5,000 what was the penalty I had to do 150 community service hours did you really love to find out what those were out of food bank what were they totally tell us tell us more I fucking we

had to like we had to people would come in and they would like we'd like help them shop around the food bank like you push their car around and shit like you want some beans which is great which is great for you do but I don't know you actually do 100 feet I swear I did it I had to do it because you have to go to a registered I tried to finesse I'm not going to yeah I tried to finesse it but you had to get you had to get it approved by by the people so I did it at the food bank so you're over there helping people like shopping and all that stuff I'm like you want some beans you want some pasta like some people are like entitled they like take their time they look at the beans and like they choose

like wait so was anybody during that moment ever like that's crazy. Aren't you Kyle from Nelt Boys? A little bit, yeah. But we weren't as big back then, right? Oh, yeah. And they probably didn't know you were doing community service. But all the people that worked there did it. No, they knew. I owned it. I was like, fuck it. All right, cool. How about when you guys did Antonio Brown that every one of these sports

shows and reporters and newspapers and everything? That was wild. Had to credit you for the, you know? Must be nice. And I was looking through that shit and that they weren't credited right, I was getting fucking pissed off. I was blowing him up, man. Don't let those motherfuckers get away with that. Make them put fucking full send podcast right on the bottom and did you guys get all over

those guys? A little bit. I mean, they tagged us but that's about it. We kind of reached out to them but it is what it is. It was dumb seeing it though. Yeah, Dana these guys were all over mainstream media. I know. I saw it. There's nothing to do with that. Here we go. Here we go. Here we fucking go.

Hey, how'd you guys get that on? How'd you get the interview? How'd that work out? Well, some articles, some articles just said I'm using this for a long time, baby. Antonio Brown sits down with Bob Bennery. I think Bob slid in a few of those too. Remember the time Bob bought us dinner in New York? Yeah, catch.

Remember that time? Well, because the UFC relationship, the introduction thing, was running its course, so I had to panic quickly. So I said, hey, boys, you ever heard of mainstream media? Remember when Bob had the idea to start the milk boys? So, yeah. And that just happened, too, so I got a little bit of leverage, Dana. With some different ventures.

Is AB hitting you up a lot? I mean, I went to the studio with AB. That's where I broke the no drinking streak I had a 14 day bet And I was seven days in And I was at the studio And I just bought a 1942 bottle for AB Kind of just thanking him

Gave him the bottle And he's basically like yeah let's drink And I was like man I can't I have a bet And he's like you fucking drinking I did you a favor I'm like all right Here we go lost the bet

Boom Threw back some 1942s jammed out to rap music It was just that was it Yeah Summer was there too Do you meet Kanye or no no i was trying to get connie on this full podcast show here i'm trying to work my angles and you know let me see what i can do guys got one of the biggest podcasts in the country i'm

surprised he doesn't just jump in and do it what's good with the joe rogan shit trying to shut down his podcast crazy right what's up with that to him well i know they'd come out and said that was like uh 200 250 doctors and whatever i guess when they started researching these people they weren't really doctors they're not apparently not no i feel like he just has too much support behind him yeah oh fuck like he's the one guy where it's like if they come for him there's like an army you're not canceling rogan and the thing is with rogan he's a brilliant guy he does his homework and he knows what he's talking about and guess what this is fucking america and you can have your own opinions about these things and you can voice

them that's what this fucking country was built on and all these little whiny fucking pussies that don't like it too fucking bad man too bad cares do you think Spotify you think Spotify will crack no you're not an American company you know it's interesting too though because I like

we were talking it's all about fucking money if it was YouTube they'd be getting pressure from their advertisers but Spotify's all subscription model so Rogan's making them money so and it's people who want to rely on people right right now that you're involved in the project

what what's your what's your what's your plans for it. What's your plans to provide value for it? Whatever you guys ask me to do to help build this thing up? I'm in. What do you think of the lounges and shit? I love the cigar lounge because kind of like, you know what was talking about? The cigar lounge thing is awesome. I think that in that what would be 10,000 people can only go to that thing? Yeah. So you'd have a card that maybe you could bring a guest. So you scan to get in? Yep. And how would they know it's your thing? That's easy. You can, that technology already exists. So you go to this. Yeah, that's

great. It's like a Soho house. Yeah. I love it. Yeah. I think it's a great idea. It'll be one start. Maybe, yeah. A lounge. What else? What are the other things that people are going to get

with all this stuff? Well, if you're into the NFT shit too, we're going to be dropping a lot of projects, right? So all those projects that collabs, we could be like the supreme of the metaverse, I feel. So all these collabs that we do with like our merch, it's hard to do them in real life with like vans or something shit because they're so politically correct.

They don't want to touch us. but in the NFT world, all the owners of projects are like cool people like us and they understand the brand. So we can do so many collabs and those will be only available to our holders first, you know? So our holders have a lot of opportunity to, I don't want to say make money, but they're going to get access to these big projects. And, you know, let's say anyone else wants to do a project, Bob, that, you know, let's say any of our connects want to do a project, maybe those are going to be available to our holders first, right? You have a lot of people that want to probably do projects Big players in the space, right?

100% do I have some big... I'm not going to say names, but... I have some people that I know that own the Metacard. So maybe we can offer those exclusively to our holders too. Very cool, I do. Right?

100%. I love that. It's cool. Is this all Spanish to you? Like all the Metaverse and all this? No, no, no. We're looking to do a fight in the Metaverse. What is that? We've been working on it for a while.

It'll be a live fight, an actual fight that takes place inside the Metaverse. Whoa. What the... What does that look like? I don't get to be kids at home could, you know, you put on your fucking goggles and you can fucking get up and go walk around and, you know,

we're still working it out, but yeah, it'll be soon. We'll be doing a fight in the Metaverse. Metaverse fighters? Yo, that's so crazy. You're just at home in your room, just fucking swinging, like. What do you get like ringside seats or something? Like if you have the goggles on? You could buy seats, yeah. But you're like, oh, okay, wow, it's pretty crazy.

will that take away you think from like what i don't know we're going to find out are you nervous about all this metaverse fucking things up for you in your business no no no technology has been very good to us man you know our stuff works very well with all the ufc has such a cult following too and it just works with everything it works with social media it works with streaming it works with uh you know i think you guys have a huge opportunity in that nfts space for like an exclusive club that gets you really exclusive shit with the ufc Yeah, yeah. Huge.

That's exactly what we're doing. Huge, huge, huge. Hey, I was going to ask you, too. I'm going to Kansas City. What's the date, Hunter? Do you know? No, no, no, not August. Yeah.

Is it Feb-5? You want to do that, Fighter? Do you want to do it? Do you want to come? Yes, I told that our Discord chat today. I told them, too, we got to get a full send UFC media correspondent. Remember I told you that? A while ago, that can ask, kind of like the math.

Act Life. Yeah. Our version of that. We should do that too. Well, this is the one that we talked about where you signed the fighters. We should sign a fighter. Yeah. Can you explain that?

How would we do it? Yeah. So what we're going to do is... This is crazy. The Nelke boys are going to come down to Kansas City where this fight is happening. I have the show on YouTube, like, Feb 5th or 6th. Nicole, what's the date? Sixth?

Feb 6th. And so looking for a fight is where we go to these small events. and these different towns all of the country we take in what the town has to offer then we go to the fights and we sign fighters to come into the UFC so what Kyle and I talked about is the Nelk boys will actually pick their own fighter

they'll sign him he'll get into the UFC and he'll be sponsored by Nelk oh that'll be nuts yeah that'll be awesome so it'll be their guy that's pretty sick so you know what we should do we should

if you guys are in the Discord chat right now we should we should bring out maybe bring like five holders with us maybe too and I want to see in the Discord chat of holders who's like a real big UFC fan and also like knows their shit on who we should sign and maybe we'll bring five holders with us and we'll

sign a fighter that day so is there gonna be like some good talent there yeah I'm gonna make sure there is that would be crazy and we'll give them a deal now you're still gonna have are you still gonna have things for the you know the 10,000 holders that have this

card. Are you still going to have things going on for the people that don't have this card? Well, yeah. And I mean, we have our members, too, that we're going to be doing a lot. Still the same giveaways for as well. Okay. But, um, I mean, in our, I think it just benefits our community as a whole to sign like a fighter and, you know. Yeah. I mean, it just leads to better content. It leads to us taking over. I mean, it's fucking cool as fuck.

Very cool. That's, that's like a dream come true. If we do that. So how do you go about getting like good? talent at that spot well you're going to go in I'll give you I'll give you the background on on the guys that are fighting and point in the direction of like three or four guys and then you sit there and you watch and and anytime you're looking for talent obviously he's got a he's got a fight that night and he's got on pressure but you want to see how the crowd reacts to him how he speaks after

the fight his how he interacts with you know there's a lot of different things you look at you guys are pretty good I mean when you guys go to the fights I mean You guys have become close to Sugar Sean O'Malley. You guys have become close to Taito Ovasa. I mean, there's going to be somebody there that connects with you that you're like... Because that's going to be a great... I know it's so cool because it's like a great opportunity for the fighter too, right? Like, we're going to fucking blow them up.

You know what kind of a following their cult following they're going to have behind them? It's incredible. I love it. Ruding for them at every fight. Yep. It's fucking cool. Where are you, Dana, where are you two next? Where do you go next from here? I'm going to ESPN.
