I'm Luke Thomas.

That's Brian Campbell. Aren't you blocking the shot with all this shit? I've got to put the stuff in. We're going to get fired for this, usually. But, BC, I have to say, you're red as a red lobster cheddar biscuit. It's been a fucking good week man It has been a good week For this fucking break I don't want this to be the mountaintop moment of MK

And I don't think it will be But this is a big hill we climbed And we got here with With all great things that you can say about us But thank you to our Thank you to the people that consider this entertainment because that's how we got here. What a time.

What a time to be alive. Man, that feeling, you and I sometimes talk about the feeling, the rush, being at that weigh-in, say it felt big time. Again, say what you will about the fight. I don't care.

I don't care. So let's backtrack a little bit here if we can. Hopefully these microphones work. I'm going to put this up a little bit. We arrived on Wednesday night, or Wednesday. We didn't do anything that day. Thursday, they bought us, they took us to, like, they took us to this place in the, I guess it's called the Design District.

It's supposed to be really nice. On room service, I mean, on the MK doc that we filmed some interviews today, I referred to it as Miami's Beverly Hills. So it's like... Rodeo Drive. I called it Hodeo Drive. Like Ronaldo. And it just happened to work out that there were a lot of whores around that area. Many whores, yes.

Many whores. But also, it's like, you know, pick your city. It was Fifth Avenue in L.A. It's whatever. Or New York, I'm sorry. So they took us to the Versace. And then as a bit, because we were going to be in the Versace mansion for the media day or whatever, they bought us Versace robes.

Real Versace robes. Which I realize are cursed, but this has not been a cursed week for us. Well, you know, there were moments. Between this rash that's trying to get me, and this actually is poison ivy, I know. And I'm on the steroid right now to fix it. And me getting sent to hell a few times, a few times. But I got to tell you, we did the media availability day.

We interviewed Logan Paul, which I thought I would never do. And I had no intentions of doing, but it just happened. It wasn't bad. He's a nice kid. I mean, listen, I've been terribly insulting towards him, but honestly, like this fight,

the fight, we're recording this on Saturday night, so the weigh-ins have just happened. We just came back from the weigh-ins. The fight is stupid, and everyone knows it. Showtime knows I feel that way. But in terms of the magnitude of it,

and then me and BC getting assignments to cover it, dude, we've been waiting for this a long time, man. A long time. Right? I mean, don't you feel that way? I feel like it's like, dude, this shit is starting to come together for us, and I almost don't believe it for that reason. Hey, look at us, right? Look at us. Can you believe it?

Can you fucking believe it? Salud, man. Yeah, that's to all the Colombians, including Daniel Segura, who you saw. I saw I had dinner with Danny last night. But hold on. So we did that. Then Friday, what did we do? What day is it today?

Friday, we... Oh, we did MK. Yeah, I did the undercard thing. We did MK. We got on set. If you haven't watched Friday's episode and you think it's just some, like, whatever. No. We had Chad Johnson on the MK set. We got Brendan Schaub on the...

MK set was a little bit wild. Maybe I'll... You know, I'm sorry. Okay? It was a little bit of who could yell the loudest and who could share bad jokes to each other. And who could, you know, be passive-aggressive in ways that... I don't think so. Certain corners of the internet might find.

But I will say this. Today is Saturday and we just did the weigh-in show special with Brendan. Dude, that was fucking awesome. Look, bro. Today. Today. Today. You know, I was the third wheel on Friday. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, on Friday, yes. But today. No, dude. You rocked that shit today. He has a home today in MK. He's not homeless anymore. No. You know what I'm saying?

A homeless cat, some might say. I mean, dude, actually, seriously, I've never hung out with Shob that long as we did today. No, he was good today. We had a lot of laughs. He was good today. He was great today. He dressed not at all according to what they told us the dress code was. So shouts to Shob for being like, fuck that shit.

I ain't doing that. But he totally played ball with us. Well, it's not like the dress code, it's not like there was a gun to our head, but it was suggestive. They were like, no pink pants. He's just a gun to our head, but it was suggestive. They were like, no pink pants. He's just a little bit

more established at Showtime than we are, so when I see that, I'm like, you can't fuck this up. And I brought three suits and shit, so. Oh, yeah.

But he was good. They brought Chris Cyborg on stage for just a short amount of time. She was great. AJ McKee looked like a million bucks. AJ McKee was awesome.

They brought in Matt Barnes for just a short amount of time. That rocked. And dude, then they sent fucking BC. I hosted the three of us or the four of us, whatever it was, sitting at the desk. But then they sent BC to go interview Floyd and Logan. Dude, you fucking killed it.

I'm serious, dude. I'll tell you what. Dude, I always give you your props when you do well. You fucking killed it. You didn't stumble. You asked all the right questions. You got the right answers. They didn't necessarily give you exactly what you were looking for,

but that's not your fault at all. So thank you, and that was a last-minute knowledge. On the way there, we found out that. Yeah, he didn't prefer that at all. Jim Gray or whomever, so it was awesome to get that chance. But, dude, the energy on the stage was sick. I actually couldn't get to the fires because as logan and floyd were preparing for the face-off both teams converged probably in anticipation of some kind of skirmish i think you and i thought there would be

some kind of like moment pushing and shoving so there was dana doing the bit where he gets in the right there wasn't so i go to interview floyd after talking to logan but logan's still in my ear talking shit. And then I said to Floyd, you know, we went through, got your hat this week. As I said that, I'm like, oh shit, he's actually wearing a hat. Is Logan going to reach around? A bit, or a theory of hat. And are we going to be at World War II here?

Because there wasn't a lot of room left on the stage. Dude, they were literally, I was fucking, I was like, if anything happens, there's going to be a disaster. Because if you actually go back and you watch, if you're watching the stage, Logan's on this side, Floyd's on that side. And all their people were on stage to the point where they were literally at the very end of it. In other words, if anyone had shoved anyone else and had spilled over, people were going to start falling off that bitch. You think Trick Daddy was in the back just like, just eating? I mean, he was just, bro, he was like a victory post-performance meal, bro. Listen, listen, my understanding is Trick still has a lot of his money.

He just got fat, you know. Oh, he's launching it. He was wearing tight clothes, and he's just kind of like. Trick Daddy performed, like, you know now, that Trick Daddy. Did he do the big hit was he was fat as Christ I mean he was the big hit the big hit like that I don't think he did that one, but no man's a big one You know shop said before he started said, you know trick don't mess around with the new stuff

Do play the play the play the hits by the hits, you know people come to see you know When they when they go see Guns N' Roses, they want to see November right? Yeah Okay Play the hits, you know what I'm saying? People come to see, you know, when they go see Guns N' Roses, they want to see November rain. Yeah, come on. Okay? But no, that was cool. Matt Barnes was cool as shit. I would love, look, you and I, we've crossed over with The Weighing In. We've crossed over with Brendan this weekend.

I love if we could get the chance. Even though you called him Jerry Stackhouse and not Stack, Steve Jackson. I don't know what's wrong with me. I would love to get- I also said The Basketball, which I didn't realize I had to say. Yeah, see, I almost cut you off, but I'm like,

that's a dick, that's kind of a dick move. I would have deserved it. Because you're like, you know, Matt, obviously you have... I meant to say the NBA. You played the basketball.

You played the basketball. Are you guys smoking the grass? I mean, like, okay, all right. Hold on, I'm trying to find this, the song from Trick Daddy. And then there was a bunch of people I'd never heard of on stage. I will say, if you look at the final scene when BC's interviewing the two

and then they face off or whatever, there's like five Wu-Tang clans on the fucking stage. You don't see that at UFC weigh-ins, ever. UFC is like very strict about who's there, how quickly it all moves. Dude, boxing, it's like don't get me wrong, like event to event, if I'm media, I prefer the way the UFC does it because it's like

You give them that credit. It's a well-oiled It's like WWE. It is like second by second you are where you're supposed to be. They don't fuck around but boxing, there's got to be something to be said about boxing just being a fucking zoo. Yes yes it is it is so it's such a zoo

Luke that as I told you I could barely get to Logan and Floyd for the interview like I wasn't I wasn't on pace

to get there in time I had to push through people like that would you would never have that flow you know what I'm saying elsewhere it was wild man

it was it was a it was a wild rush anything good Luke you got any I'm trying to find that song DMs from any Latinas in there? Or just the missus? LUKE MALONE, JR.: Girl, you know that?

LUKE MALONE, JR.: Bitch. That was actually one of his albums, www.thug.com. LUKE MALONE, JR.: I wonder if he still owns that domain. He was there and he was overweight, but it was okay. I mean, we did see a Miami legend. Imagine if Uncle Luke was there, Luther Campbell,

that would have been a two-life crew reunion with that awesome Asian guy. You know, the guy talking about that Asian guy, the fat dude, the bad guy. He was like their version

of Fife Dog or something. Or Flavor Flav. Yeah. God, that's so funny. In the like their version of Fife Dog or something. Or Flavor Flav. Yeah. It's kind of so funny. In the 90s, the two most important music acts in terms of free speech were the two least defensible, Cannibal Corpse and Two Live Crew. They were the ones that were getting shouted out by Bob Dole as like, both from Florida, turns out.

Turns out. Florida, though, if you'd never been to Florida, and they dropped you where we are, Aventura, whatever kind of rich bitch area that is. Oh, God, it's so rich over here. It is. It's like... Do the cars here? It's old, rich people, like, wonderland around here. It's just like... And also, like, people who... I can't tell if this place is absolutely filled to the brim with millionaires, or there's a lot of people posing. Probably a little bit of both. Because, dude, we were just at the Seminole Hard Rock

and, what is it, two Lamborghinis peeled out making noises? And then a Bentley GT comes up, and then a Phantom Rolls Royce. The car game down here is out of control. There's a lot of old guys with money who have considerably young women on their arms

the thing is they like when you look at their woman they like that oh they get off on they got they got that greasy George Hamilton skin like that just like that like leathery shit you know they've been on a boat for just too many years you know you see that Columbia by the way they get the issue these like mafioso types and they come to us one went to colombia and i saw my wife like i was trying to ask her i'm like okay i get that they're rich how are these old saggy bald leathery zeros with like these tens out of every every time we go to a bar and she went to a club or whatever and she was telling me they call them prepagos prepaids oh like a like high high high end escort

it's like the the burner phone of prostitutes? No, no, no. It's the opposite. The exact opposite. Like, instead of just somebody in a back alley giving you a smoker on your hog, you actually pay for, like, a date and time and, like, they hang out with you and then

being seen together and then you probably, I mean, I'm guessing they bang them. I mean, we kind of did that with Shab today. Was he our prepago? We kind of whored him out.

He showed up, you know, his, just looking like Don Johnson, you know, walking out of a methadone clinic. Like, no joke, he's big as shit, bro. Brendan Schaub. He's big as shit. Can we stop for a second? Brendan Schaub's been in the weight room, like, a lot.

You know, his form may not be perfect. Okay, his form is barbaric, but that dude, this is what blows my mind about Brendan. It's like, okay, Brendan will tell you he's the first guy who couldn't cut it in the NFL, made it to practices, and then that was it for him. That was it, yeah. And you just have to imagine how good of the athlete's there that a guy who doesn't really try and can fucking jerk 600 off the ground, deadlift 600 off the ground, and then 400 on bench for two reps with the worst technique imaginable.

You have to be so fucking strong for that. It's, I don't, you think? I mean, that still probably gets chicks in 2021. I mean, like, we can make fun of Logan Paul. Bro, he was cut as shit. I'll give him his credit, bro. His traps were ridiculous. Yeah, you gotta give him credit.

He was Julian. That shit's ridiculous. That fight tomorrow's gonna be so stupid. He's gonna get worked over, and everyone's gonna be so stupid he's gonna get worked over and everyone's gonna be like that's right so so look one one answer this question like is floyd going to knock him cold like like one cold i don't know like almost like that when butterby went to wrestlemania that time in like 1999 and he killed bart gunn i mean he just like mainly you know i've never seen that i need to do see that. Dude, it's criminal that they put that shit together.

But, I don't... Is that good? Is that good for this? Because look, is that good for this pro wrestling fight thing? Look,

there's regular boxing on Showtime and it's these carnival celebrity fights. Yeah. Is that good for the celebrity fight thing if like mainlines him?

Just, I mean, just... Just kill him. I don't know how you preserve this thing over the long haul. I really don't. Like, I don't know what the angle is. Like, how do we keep freak shows alive? I don't... Well, with storylines.

So does Jake call me... Yeah, but, like, even then, dude, it runs its course. Bro, do they have Jake throw the towel? Does Jake come out tomorrow night? Dude, I'm not playing your pro wrestling storyline game. This guy had literally spent hours in meetings describing how central the hat was, the gotcha hat, to how everything was going to go down today or tomorrow.

And it played no role whatsoever. Bro, I wrote a 4,000-word oral history on gotcha hat. I can't believe they pay us to do this. I really can't. Dude, by the way, I've gotten an inordinate amount of tweets from people that have followed my boxing work for years. OG followers or whatever, readers, fans, whatever you want to call them. And they're pissed.

At what? At me, in a sense, selling my soul and soiling it. Not for coming here to cover it, but for writing that many pieces. It's like, I just want to let people in on this. For like a website like CBS Sports, this made with a paw fight, it does like 37 times the traffic of normal shit. Let's talk business for a second.

The site has to sell, even a big one, as big as CBS Sports, they have to sell a certain amount of ad inventory every month. When you get traffic like this is bringing, whatever else you want to say about it, dude, it makes the month. Literally, everything else could go away.

It makes the month. I mean, when we look back every year, year into year, and the team does a great job with the numbers and crunching them, and it's like we identify, okay, who moves for us? You got to put your hand down because you're... I mean, it's like, it's Manny Pacquiao,

it's Conor McGregor, and then it's just like freak shit. And that's the truth. And that's why there's a WWE page still there. I mean, that's like, it's Manny Pacquiao, it's Conor McGregor, and then it's just like freak shit. And that's the truth. And that's why there's a WWE page still there. I mean, that's what it is. WWE does better traffic than a lot. I know for a fact because I've seen it. It does better traffic than a lot of MMA news stories.

Which breaks my heart, but it's true. I get people that they're mad that I wrote a story that says, what happens if Floyd loses? But it's interesting. You did. You know, like what happens to boxing? What happens to his reputation? What happens next, right? I know.

But that's kind of like asking, what happens if Floyd gets struck by lightning and shits elephants? What else are you going to write about, folks? It's part of the coverage plan for a sidetrack fight. See, I feel like I was in a better position. Like, people were emailing me and being like, you said you'd never interview Logan. Well, yes, that's true. I did say that. But, like, here's why I think it's a little bit different.

People were emailing me, PR people, being like, hey, would you like to interview Logan Paul and Jake Paul before blah, blah, blah? I was like, fuck no, I don't care about that shit. Right, ahead of the KSI fight, he was very gettable. It's like, no, I don't care. And even at the Versace thing, I didn't need to talk to him.

It was just part of the experience. We're going to get past this conversation. Can we put a couple things on the table? Unless it's against some moral thing you have, if your employer is invested in something, and it's better for you. That was the answer. Showtime was like, hey, this is part of the movie gig. And it's better for your career and our brand to do it. It's not like it's fucking tennis.

I get that it's celebrity mix-match boxing, but it wouldn't be on Showtime pay-per-view unless it's a guarantee that people are going to care about it. And we get a chance to Be part of that. We're not telling we're not illegally hyping illegally. We're not like immorally hyping up Logan's chance We're telling the damn truth here, but like whatever network it's gonna fall on somebody's gonna cover it and if we are in the same Overall Viacom CBS sphere that I want CBS Sports to be the site of record covering that should be sure you were on Showtime That's got to be I don of record. I mean, I don't feel like you need to be the site of record to

cover this. But it's part of your company. That's just the reality. No, but Showtime is like, dude, we're going to host a media day. If you work for us at media day, you got to talk to them. Okay, fine. Whatever. Okay, but what do people want you to do? Step aside? This is what you have to understand about this weekend. I think this

is what I've come to and Brian understands this about me. Listen, this fight is stupid. I've told Showtime executives to their face, it is fucking stupid. But it's fun. It's fun. But two things. One, they don't even disagree with me. Two, they've never censored my opinion.

Three, there's a whole mess of people who are going to be entertained by it, probably. And four, this is the most important one. It doesn't matter what I think about it. Being here, if you guys like MK, us being here is, I can't overstate this, game-changing for us. Dude, the Showtime execs are very happy with us this week, which we are thrilled about.

And it brings in money that it's sort of like, oh, I hate, I go to the big-time college and I hate my football team. The whole campus is about football, blah, blah, blah. It's because that financially fuels everything. I mean, like, look at the end of the day. So when I make these arguments that like people that are hardcore boxing people, they don't have to embrace this, but to act like it doesn't do something positive for the sport, get people

that only watch two fights a year or never at all. And then they're into this. It's not going to take over your regular model. No. And also do understand this. Like, so we did this, it's not going to take over your regular model. No, and also, understand this. So we did the... So are we supposed to just not do our job?

Well, hold on. Yes, hold on. It's also a fight. I know it's a stupid fight, but it's also a fight involving Mayweather who's undefeated. It's a stupid fight.

It means something. Not really. But listen, it means everything to us. News-wise. No, no. I'm talking about what it means for MK

and you and me. And you in particular and me in particular. In different ways and then also together. This is the thing. If I had... Showtime gave me the choice. They said, do you even want to go to Florida? And I told them, you want me to go to Florida?

I'll go to Florida. But I'm not going to tell people that Logan Paul's got a chance. I'm not doing that shit. They said, okay. So they sent us down here. Dude, us doing what we did. Thursday's Versace mansion shit and then the weigh-ins just now. Dude, I'm telling you, big, important

people at the company saw it and they had fucking rave reviews. We want to do the things that's like Charlo versus Canelo or whatever, a big fight. This is how we get there. Period. Spoiler alert on Doc 4 and we're filming and doing some fun stuff.

One of the things, like, man, I hope this isn't the week MK sells out and we lose filming and doing some fun stuff and one of the things like man you know I hope this isn't the week MK sells out we lose all of our hardcore fans because we went pop disco you know when we're

a metal band this is the biggest fight of this couple weeks so that's why we're giving it that the coverage it deserves guess what's coming up

after this I mean everything you ever wanted as an MMA and boxing fan and we're going to give those the same level of coverage so I mean we'll probably give more for those, actually. Obviously. So, yeah. We're just here for showtime, but

anyway, so I put out a tweet asking for questions, BC. Are you ready? Yeah. Alright, let's get some of these, shall we? Okay. Let's see Alright From Yo I kinda wanted to ask Matt Barnes if he had blood on him Dude I'm pretty sure he did

When he walked by I got a contact eye God bless him I wish I had that kind of life Just walk around high all the time I'd love to have him on a show like this That's basically what their show is, so give them credit, but where we just ask him the fan questions that we would want. About like, I want to know who's the alpha in the locker room.

You know what I mean? I want to know Kobe bitch people out Jordan style. You wanted to ask about Kwame, didn't you? A little bit. A little bit. All right, here we go. BC. This is from Sam Lau.

If you were to start a new NBA franchise, who would be your number one pick? In other words, give me a current NBA player who's your number one for the future. So, like, imagine they're going to bring an expansion team and then pull people from certain teams. Yeah, yeah. How do you go? Did you see that fucking Suns game where they eliminated LeBron? No, I haven't been watching any of it. Dude, Devin Booker could not be stopped.

He could not be stopped. You know, I'm not, normally I would't been watching any of it. Dude, Devin Booker could not be stopped. He could not be stopped. You know, I'm not, normally I would, you know, certainly dominate. I mean, I guess you gotta go, due to age and impact,

Anthony Davis. Yeah, LeBron's great, but he's not long for the world. I'm not going to answer this question. AD's big. I still might go Durant.

I think he's got some life left in him. Yeah, I don't think you can build a team around him though, can you? Kevin Durant? They just left in him. Yeah, I don't think you can build a team around him, though, can you? Kevin Durant? They just did in Brooklyn.

Right, but they're doing super teams now. But you're talking about an expansion team that you are building around for the future. Can we only win the championship these days with super teams? Is that the culture that the NBA is in? Probably. I mean, could you argue that's what the 80s were, though? If the Nets win this season, then I think it's over. I mean, the Celtics and Lakers in the 80s, although they did it through shrewd drafting and stuff,

personnel moves, those are super fucking teams. Huge super teams. And to your point, well scouted. But you didn't have the ability for people to team up and become free agents together and pull that shit. Imagine if we could do that, Luke, in the MMA business. Imagine if the entities that were managing... If we could bring one person to the MK universe

to work with us who would we bring okay I want to get to that but like what if our employer what if we were eligible for trades like a pro sports system

okay oh god and what if like you know okay I got X amount of years left under CBS but then we find out tomorrow that we've been

you and I have been traded for Ariel Hawane like what if it's just something like and we're like oh shit I'm going back to ESPN I gotta move my family

so we went back to ESPN yeah I'd be okay with that. I mean, I don't want to go anywhere. Showtime's been unbelievably kind to me, but couldn't complain about an ESPN gig, could you? It's just wild if we could be traded, Luke, in this fake universe. But who would I want to, what free agent would I want to walk right in on MK? Yeah, you could pull anybody.

Who would be a great person? Not that they would be on the show, but like in the space. Oh, in the universe. Yeah, they would fill in on occasion, but they would do like news write-ups and like interviews and then... What do you think? Probably Joanna.

Can you imagine if Morning Combat was just you and Joanna? And she's like, Brian, why are you just masturbating on screen? She's in Cancun right now. This is not show. That's the worst accent ever. Yeah, that was like post-war.

It was like post-war Chernobyl. It's like waiting in line for a ride. Why is Campbell American masturbating in bus stop? Okay, if you could trade a skill slash a talent that you have now that makes you money. By the way, this is what he writes. He goes, bad news, art is not a talent. For some other skill and talent that you don't have. Within our field or not.

That makes you money. That makes you money. That's a great point. What would it be? That's a great question. I'd have to trade one to get one. I'd have to trade a very important skill. I'd have to trade the ability to write or talk in front of a camera or whatever

for something more that could make me money. Honestly, you're going to laugh at me for this. I really wish I was more... You had a hog like Rocco. I'm all right with my hog size I'm doing fine there but No in all honesty Whenever you do your paintings I'm always like

1% jealous that I don't Have any ability or even like really Initiative to do that But it does seem like it'd be really good for me Yeah but it does seem like it'd be good for me Okay I wish I could draw I honestly wish I could draw Oh if it's as easy as this I mean Being a musician yes without But it does seem like it'd be good for me. Okay, I wish I could draw. I honestly wish I could draw.

Oh, if it's as easy as this, I mean, being a musician, yes. Without question. Oh, that's a good one. Being a musician. And like everybody else. What instrument would you play? Like you could be just a fucking musician. Forever it was guitar. And it makes sense, right?

Yeah. And I actually, like a lot of people, had a lot of failed stop starts, you know, where I bought guitars and I played them and I never got formal training. But just by jerking around and jerking off and stuff, I could get okay for a month, but then... Listen, Brian, as your guitar teacher, you've got to stop ejaculating on the frets, please. But, you know, I guess I have to say it's my fault, the guitar.

Although lately, through my jazz fusion, I'm getting to bass as the lead instrument so much in ways I never thought about it before. I've been listening to a lot of Cream. Bass is cool, man. With Jack Bruce, who plays that heavy, dark, you know. Do you know Thundercat? No.

The bass player? No. Oh, dude. We've got to talk about that. We'll talk about it more. All right. But look, I'm wondering if I would trade the guitar for pipes. I'm talking about rock pipes.

Oh, fuck. I mean, is really being a lead singer is the coolest fucking thing you can do, right? Man. I mean, obviously, some can do both. Frontmen, the world's elite frontmen. Yeah, who don't even need

to play guitar. They're just fucking frontmen. They're just frontmen. I mean, you're thinking Jagger. You're thinking fucking David Lee Roth. That's a frontman right there. Axl.

Yep, yep. Yeah, that's a big one. Scott Stapp. He's a little bit dead. Hey, we had a nice argument the other day, me and one of the Showtime guys. The first Creed album, I think, like, you can't tell anyone, but it kind of holds.

It's kind of not bad. Suck, suck, suck. It's not bad, bro, okay? Suck all the dicks. It's before balls wide open. Instead of all the smokes, there should be a podcast called All the Dicks, and you're just on screen sucking them.

All right, but what would you, music-wise, what would you, if you could just be, like, if I could be any kind of musician, you can't be, like, John Bonham on drums, but you could be, like, good enough to go start a band that maybe could do something. You know, like you're a good fucking musician.

I'm with you on bass. I think bass is like, it's the core of what oftentimes music can be built around. So I never looked at the bass as doing anything more than like accompanying the guitar. Serviceable work. Right. And I didn't realize there were things I I wasn't even listening with my ability to hear and separating the bass through Jazz Fusion and Jaco Pastorius.

Luke, I went back and re-listened to The Who, who I've always been a big fan of. John Etwistle on bass, The Ox. Dude, he's playing fucking lead guitar on his bass. It's just like, it's next. He's a maniac. I was listening to Jack Bruce. I mean, he's basically playing rhythm guitar,

so Clapton and Cream could solo over. We should become bass players, Luke. Slap bass? Yeah, yeah. Okay, here we go. We should start a band with two basses and a power bottom. That's you. Alright, BC. If you had to recruit five fighters to compete for Factory Town MMA team, who would you choose? Give a great give me the factory town mma so this is like starting an expansion team right it's the same thing you could pull from any team okay choose wisely bitch so the first one's hard

because it's like who's the fucking face of factory town mma oh dude it's got to be from connecticut it's got to be brendan ward no no no stop stop stop no no i'm, no. Stop, stop, stop. No, I'm serious. I'm talking about more success. Brendan Ward had a window. But I'm talking about more successful fighters. He could thump. Like Michael Chiesa I want on Factory Town MMA, okay? That's a great call. You know what I mean?

He fits in it. He's not the face of it, though. He's not the face of it. He's lunch pail, but he's talented. You know, even your boy Anthony Smith. I think he could cut at Factory Town MMA. I think he's perfect for Factory Town MMA. That's two.

Two white guys. You know, I need some workmen like chicks too right who's a who's a who's a chick is Carla Sparza a grinder I was just gonna say

she's turned into one you know yeah yeah alright grinder I just yeah dude by the way when you asked

Brendan Shaw if he would like celebrity box and he was like no no fucking chance Luke who's the face of Factory Town MMA who is the best

fighter we can find that fits that mold right now of active fighters who's the fucking face of FTMA you know what you're gonna laugh at me

I think it's true I think Patricio Freire Pitbull yo cause he just wants to drink blood

and he's from and he's from like a rough and tumble background, you know? I think he's your dude. Favela town MMA. Yeah, favela town MMA. Yeah, that'll be our... And we'll get Danny to be our translator,

even though he doesn't speak Portuguese, just Spanish. He's like a halfway, you know? Yeah, yeah. Don't you think Patrice will be fit? I think he's perfect. He would definitely. But dude, we got to have a lot of like... Like Stray Cats, the reference there. But in dude, we've got to have a lot of, like, stray cats, the reference there.

But in our gym, we've got to have some weirdos, like Jeremy Stevens. We've got to get. The dude from Faraz Trains, Manuel Neto or whatever his name was. Oh, the dude from Bellator? Rat Garbage. Rat Garbage. His literal nickname is Rat Garbage. That's the Bellator guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

That weird dude who looks like he could be, like, a waiter or something at a restaurant. He's got, like, seven haircuts going on at once, and they're all out of date. But he can fight his ass off, you know? Yeah, dude, we need a few of those. Like, I might even get Matt Brown. I might get him. Oh, he's perfect. Carlos Condit you could pick.

What about Mike Perry? Mike Perry's a Factory Town guy? Dude, I would love to have him represent Factory Town. I actually, like, if we could... Coach LaTorre could be there as well, you know? Fucking killing it. Dude, I'll put in a daycare for Ocean, you know? Yeah. Hell yeah, I'm not opposed to that. Dude, I'll put in a daycare for Ocean. Yeah.

Hell yeah, I'm not opposed to that. Yeah, yeah. You know, I should probably get my own merch going, because it would probably be out way sooner than this merch 2.0 that was supposed to go launch yesterday. Remember that? No? Yeah, my wife's texting me now. All right, here we go.

Sorry, no, that's important. Hang on. My cat is. He's not. Yeah, Mocha. He ain't going to make it, bro. Ugar. He ain't going to make it. I'm kind of sad about it, but whatever. All right, hold on. Dude, I love that's important. Hang on. My cat is. He's not. Yeah, Mocha. He ain't going to make it, bro. He ain't going to make it. I'm kind of sad about it, but whatever.

All right, hold on. Dude, I love cats, man. Dude, don't you, like, this is what bothers me about the whole cat thing. It's like people are like, oh, I like dogs. Dude, I fucking love dogs. You could like T and A. You don't have to be all Latinos the whole time, right? Well, Latinos have both.

Let's be real about it. But, dude, dogs are like, you will never, ever hear me say anything other than they are the noblest creatures ever. But cats are fucking awesome. Yeah. I love cats. They're smart as shit, too. You know, they're really smart.

And they're way more intuitive than people give them credit. People think they're boring. I'm like, no. They actually take care of themselves. They're largely self-sufficient, save for what goes in and what goes out of them, you know? Yeah, Mocha was just not doing great.

All right. Okay, outside of the two main eventers this weekend, who's the popular celebrity figures y'all have seen this weekend in Miami? Have we seen any celebs this week? Not the ones that are, I mean, obviously we saw Floyd and Logan. Oh, Paul Pierce. Paul Pierce put his hands on us. So just so you know, during that live stream, we were in the robes.

At the end of it, when Paul Pierce was like, you guys know the truth, whatever he said, our team ran after him and tried to get him. Tried to get him on air. And he said, no, sorry, I'm just here for fun. I forgot that he had just lost his ESPN job because of that crazy shot on the Instagram. Where he had the strippers. That's probably why he didn't want to talk until he gets his next. It's like, Paul, I have an idea.

Don't put sex acts on Instagram. That's just me thinking out loud. But, I mean, would I have remembered in real time interviewing him? Would I have gone there in that day? I said to him, as he walked by, the famous... He played one season with the Wizards, but it was actually fucking magical. Remember that game winner in the playoffs? Remember when it was a guy from NBC Sports Washington asked him,

he's like, did you call bank? He goes, I called game. And I shouted that to him and he looked back at me like,

but then he just kept moving. Yeah, yeah. He's like, nice pants. Yeah, he's like,

nice pants, you fucking pink pant wearing bitch. Hey, are you going to try in this doc,

doc four this weekend? I've been trying, dude. Okay, dude. Okay. Okay. Okay, here we go.

Luke, we have the same taste in music. I was wondering if you heard... Stupid question. All right. Okay. This is from a great dude here. If you guys had a sporting competition where you competed in the following sports, who would win? An academic decathlon like Billy Madison?

No, no, no. Just true sporting. Okay. One. 100 meter dash. I think you would win. I academic to Castle and like Billy Madison? No, no, no. Just true sporting. Okay. One, 100 meter dash. I think you would win. I'm slow. Yes. Ping pong.

I love ping pong, but I am bad at it, so you'd probably crush me. So let's say 50-50, because I'm probably good about it. No, but I think you'd beat me. I think you'd straight up beat me. Okay. One-on-one basketball? I'll give it to you. Yeah, I'll take that.

Soccer penalty kicks. Are we the goalie against you? No, no, no. We arecer penalty kicks. Are we the goalie? No, no, no. We are the ones kicking. Who's the goalie? There's some goalie? Why? Because he's Colombian? He's Latin. Let's just be racist. I would say you.

I have no experience. I'm the only person in my town's history, I swear, the only person in my town's history to never have played one day of organized soccer. Dude, soccer is a fucking great sport. My town was like half Portuguese growing up. They love soccer. Dude, they love the shit out of it.

And dude, their team for Euro 2020 is fucking good. And my high school team was nasty because of all those Portuguese kids. Not the year I was there, but the other years. And I can't believe I didn't even play a day of soccer. Dude, soccer's a great sport. I've only played it recreationally, and I'm too big to ever be even remotely competent,

but I do love it. I love the sport. I think it's great. Here we go. Dude, I was... Speaking of, Danny just texted me. You remember that Landon Donovan goal? Was that 20...

Against Algeria. Yeah. Dude, I watched that. Dude, did that move you a little bit? I got tearful watching that shit. There's very... You know, we talk about like big sporting moments, right? Like the Christian Leighton

shot, the freaking Kirk Gibson home run for me, right? Like those moments were just like, oh my god. Dude, that Landon Donovan, like, that's right there in my top five or six. I don't even like soccer, but I was sick that day. It was on like late in the morning, right? Yeah, I was at work that day. And I watched that from home with my, my kids were babies and they were napping

and dude, was, I screamed. I screamed about soccer Luke. Soccer. I screamed. Landon Donovan's probably a prick too.

You can see that. He's just probably a relentless prick right? Yeah. He probably blows but you know what are you going to do? Okay.

Here's a question. I said specifically no combat sports questions, and we still got some. Okay, here's a question. As a Marine who also got out after one term, people ask why I got out. I tell them the service is meant to be two things, a lifestyle or an experience. As mine was the latter, would you agree with this summarization? Summary, I think is fine. From Dante Brooks who asked that.

Yeah, yeah. I was the only, no one else in my family has ever been in the military. My father was a diplomat, but low level one. And no one else that I... Are you trying to put down

his achievements as like payback? That's government service, but that's not military service. Okay. And they're distinct. It gives you a GS rank. I think he was GS-15, but um is he tall my dad yeah 5 11 dude i'm like a fucking giant how tall is your brother 5 11 and you're what 6 5 6 4 6 4 and a little bit changed yeah but you're like a

broad 6 i'm a broad 6 you're like a like a a softball catcher. Dude, I used to. Did you play Little League Baseball? Oh, yeah. So when I was in Little League Baseball, we would sometimes overlap with the girls' softball teams. And bro, there would always be one girl on one of these teams that was like fucking 900 pounds. You couldn't believe they could waddle their way to the batter's box. I bet she could hit the shit out of the ball.

Okay, and every time, because it's always underhanded, right? Even if it's fast pitch, it's underhanded. And, and dude,

Big Bertha would fucking put the lumber to these softballs. I'll never forget. There was this one chick, I didn't know who she was, dude. She,

she must have been pre-diabetic. I mean, she was an absolute fucking sal, okay? And someone underhanded pitched her, and I'll never forget. She not only hit a fucking home run, but there was a road beyond the tree line, behind the fence. She hit that motherfucker into the road. I think she honestly died trying to run the bases. She had a coronary running the road. She just, I think she honestly died trying to run the, run the bases. She had a coronary

running the bases, but dude, she could fucking put the lumber to that. Dude, I always loved those kids who were, who like peaked physically

at 13. Not, like we all turn into the Little League World Series to see the freak show kids that are like, you know, six,

I'm Robert, I'm three. But how about those kids that are just like, like big boned and jacked at 13 you know those dudes they all end up

with like manual labor jobs where they spend a lot of time in bars at night but like at 13 they look like a jacked man

they're just out of control and they can like hit baseballs like into the river yeah yeah yeah factory yeah but I'll never forget I was like dude

Big Bertha she's got some fucking Barry Bonds power those dudes they bang early those guys, you know? Dude,

the guy who was the quarterback for my high school, I went to two different high schools, but the second high school I went to, he peaked then. Yeah. Yeah, he peaked then.

So like, he was the man then, but that was about it. What was the high school that you finished at? I finished at Marietta. I started at Valdosta. My brother graduated from Valdosta.

Okay. Well, how many years older is he? Two. He's technically a year and nine months. Oh, my God. Did I meant to tell you this? So, like, the guy who married me and my wife, well, he's my best friend. And he reviewed, any time I get, like, all the way back to Spike TV, he's looked at all my contracts.

He looked at my CBS contract. He is from Connecticut. He's from Trouble, Connecticut. Yeah. He lives down in D.C. again. He moved back to D.C he's looked at all my contracts. He looked at my CBS contract. Yeah, he's from Connecticut. He is from Connecticut. He's from Trouble, Connecticut. Yeah. He lives down in D.C. again. He moved back to D.C., but He's your lawyer. He's my lawyer. He's my best friend. He's my lawyer. And where was I fucking going with this?

I forget. It doesn't matter now. But, you know, I had a story there. Fuck you for delaying my story. Alright, BC, here we go. Ready? Dude, you can find it in your brain. You can get there. I'll get it back. What were we talking about? BC,

it's a question for you. Yeah. How many times have you been to boxing gyms before, right? Oh, yeah. Not on media day? How many times have you been to a boxing gym when you just walked into one? Random day. Kind of never. Dude, I've done it. boxing gym when you just walked into one? Random day. Kind of never. Dude, I've done it.

They look at you like, what are you doing here? You know? When I had a cup of coffee with boxing, with sparring and stuff, it was at someone's house because they had a great setup,

so I didn't get the full gym experience. I've never had gyms near me where it's worth worth it to get a membership you pretty much have to drive like almost an hour for traffic so when i ask everyone has any gym wars in person no there's a great group i've seen i've seen a couple dude there's a great group of uh la-based boxing writers who you know um dougie fisher like guys that have just been there forever even with the ring we're like you know that's part of their regular life, you know, for work, but for getting in the boxing community and just, you know, they get in with the trainers who say, oh, come up, you got to see this, we got this kid.

So like, Dougie Fisher's been at, you know, Big Bear and like, seen Canelo and Triple G that time they sparred when Triple G first came over, you know what I mean? Like, seen like, like, all that shit. And he's written some fun stories about it. Like, those, like, the people that have gone to, like, Philly in the 70s, you know what I mean? Like, dude, even into the 80s, like, those gym wars were, like, I mean, they took years off of these fighters' lives, dude.

Yeah, yeah. And I know that Floyd, his gym, still tries to do that doghouse thing, and it's real. It's like they put you through it. Remember, he got in trouble for it. Yeah, they put you through it remember he got in trouble for it yeah they put you through it like 45 minutes

of sparring with one guy after another after another that's CTE city yeah in Jiu Jitsu I have seen some

I've seen some I've seen some very high level world championship level dudes you know would you call them wars I don't know

but like you know they were intense like where people have to be separated in the middle of a role wars? I don't know. They were intense. Where people have to be separated in the middle of a roll. Right, because they don't try to get there. But everyone's got two different lines in those sparring situations in terms of how far I should go. Once one guy gets hit and he hits the other back, it's on.

I've definitely seen high-level guys have to get separated before. I've definitely seen high level guys have to get separated before yeah I've never seen have you ever been to a gym and just seen a fucking beat down I've seen

I think no because all my gym time has been in media setups where I'm not just walking you know

there's been very rare time where I've dude you got I've been to I've been to Headbangers in DC a couple

times just random days. Bro, they put it on people there. Barry Hunter is careful, but you want to be a pro boxer, bro? That's how you make great pros. That's the thing. Dude, I ever told you the story about the poor kid I saw there one time? No.

I'm sure he could fight. I went to, there was a Lamont Peterson workout day. I forget which fight it was. It was not the Khan fight. It was somebody else. Maybe it was Lippinitz who retired him. Right? It was Lippinitz who retired him.

It may have been that media day. And there was this kid, this black kid, who was super muscular. Like, really bricked up. And he was hitting the heavy bag. And I remember I left to go to the bathroom and he came in the bathroom and took all his clothes off and I was like, a little bit like, what the fuck? But he wasn't looking at me,

like he was just minding his own business. And I'll never forget, dude, he washed all of his clothes with like the hand soap thing in the sink, wrung it out as much as he could, put it back on and then walked to the metro and got on the metro to go wherever the fuck he was going. I'm assuming his job. But I was like, that dude, I asked around.

Apparently, he didn't have a pot to piss in. He was just there to get good or try or whatever he could. It's not a gym war, but like, you see some shit in those gyms, it sticks to you. I mean, to be honest,

that's why, you know, that's why guys like us don't end up boxing sparring. You know, people that are brave enough to go in there,

if it's not in you, that's why there's gym wars to cut that line of who can make it and who's not. I've never told this story. Barry Hunter, again,

if you don't know who Barry Hunter is, he's a very famous trainer for the Mid-Atlantic, specifically DC. He trained Lamont Peterson and who's not. I've never told this story. Barry Hunter, again, if you don't know who Barry Hunter is, he's a very famous trainer for the Mid-Atlantic, specifically DC. He trained Lamont Peterson and his brother Anthony.

Anybody else? He's sort of moonlighted around a little bit. He raised them too. He actually more or less adopted them. What would you call him?

A OG boxing trainer. He liked me. He took a shine to me. He was like, if you want to come down, we can train you. He could sense your Armenian side.

Yeah. So I was like, alright, cool, bet. I was like, how much? He was like,, if you want to come down here, we can train you. He could sense your Armenian side. Yeah. So I was like, all right, cool, bet. I was like, how much? He was like, dude, for free. Just come down. We'll train you. Dude, they put me through one day.

You came down? Dude, that was awesome. And like a dumbass, I biked there. I was like, I'll just fucking burn some calories on the way. He crushed me. That was so bad, it was soul-taking like how how much how much that sucked and i don't think he was doing it on purpose i really don't because i don't think

he could have if he wanted to he wasn't asking anything unreasonable but that was that was a wake-up call i actually went to him like after i was like i can't come here and waste your time anymore i can't i can't i can't do that. And he was like, okay. He understood. Luke, will you have my guy BC's back next time? LOL. I mean, what do you want me to do? You want me to be like, yo, Floyd, suck this man's dick. Suck that dick, Floyd.

Yo, Floyd, I thought Castillo beat you in the first fight. Bitch. Hey, Floyd. Hey, why did you fight Berto, bro? That shit sucked. Great question. Which Saturday morning or after school cartoons were your favorite as kids? Great question.

I got an oldie but a goodie for you. See if you can make this poll. Do you remember the Bionic Six? Oh, yeah, dude. B you remember the Bionic Six? Oh yeah, dude. Bionic, Bionic Six. Doo doo doo doo. We go together. We fight for rights.

Super Secret Sam Family. Yeah. We're so very proud to be. What about Beyond Bionic Six? Dude, what's that show? Is it Land of the Lost with the Sleestacks, with those green, like, men? It was a family that had to live in a cave because there was these, like, green, like, lizard men that would try to chase them down. I don't remember that.

Yo, I watched that shit. It was great. But, um, on Nickelodeon, you can't do that on television. Oh. That's not cartoons, though, is it? No, but it's like Saturday Night Live for kids, and they play that. That show ruled, bro. It was amazing. All right. No, you've got like Saturday Night Live for kids and they play that that show ruled bro. It was amazing

All right. No, you gotta go a little deeper. Um, okay. Let's seriously GI Joe was was good Yeah, it was kick-ass. He-man before that amazing. He-man. Um, I didn't get into DuckTales like everybody else I mean great things love DuckTales never got into Darkwing Duck, but DuckTales I loved. Huey, Louie, and Dewey. Garfield was a pretty good cartoon. Garfield, he mailed Nermal to Abu Dhabi. What was the other cat one that was like that?

Heathcliff. Heathcliff, ah, it wasn't. It was a poor man's Garfield but it had that theme song, dude, you know? Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one should terrorize your neighborhood.

Yeah. Dude, he was, was that the guy who always wanted to eat lasagna or did he want, wasn't the guy who always wanted to eat lasagna or did he want, wasn't that Garfield? That was Garfield,

yeah. Uh, okay, in light of BC getting sent to hell in interviews routinely, Luke, who is your dream

interviewee to banish BC Wow. to the back room of Hades? Yo, if, if,

if that Mike Perry phoner I did, that one that kind of blew up that time because he threatened to kill me, if that was in person he probably would have swung, right? He won't. No. I mean, I do. But if you had, okay, no. I mentioned his ex-wife.

You know. Okay, no. But if you had said one more thing after that, then maybe. I do feel like, you know, I think Mike's got some bad ideas about some certain things, obviously. But I don't know. I feel like I have a soft spot for Mike a little bit. All right, but the spirit of this question. Let's say you and I are doing the Morning Combat live thing and we get a flow of interviews.

I mean, we got Ocho Cinco. We do big things here. Who's the one that you want me to cross and get stuffed so badly? I don't want you to get stuffed. I never think of it that way. Is it John Jones where you could just walk off and shit on me?

No, but who is an interview that we would like to do together to like form powers? Oh, you want them to turn on me or like the Shevchenkos or something, that's what you want. No, no, no.

I'm thinking, who would be a tough interview that the two of us could like, they would send us both to hell but we would like reinforce it and just give it right back. Yeah, we'd stand up. Yeah, yeah, like fuck Yeah, like, fuck off.

Like, fuck you. You want to go that far? You want to sit across from a fighter and tell him off? I'm not in on that shit. In the right circumstance, I am. I'm not sure who that would be. I don't have animosity in that way. Jon Jones?

That's the thing about it, too. I'm not even mad at the guy. Jon Jones is actually kind of cool. Like, the interview, he's pretty funny. You know what Danny told me last night? Jon Jones blocked Danny Segura on Instagram. He hasn't blocked me on anything. Don't you find that weird?

Tito's blocked me on everything. A bunch of guys have blocked me. Didn't he do enough damage at 214? Luke, what do you want him to do? Yeah, I guess. Still, I don't know. Like, if you were, like, to hate a guy like that, like... Yo, he did...

He rang you out worse than he did Boo Boo Wild Thing. You know what I'm saying? Poor Boo Boo Wild Thing. She didn't deserve that. I deserved it, but she didn't deserve that. All right. No, who's the fighter? I mean, what if we get Connor?

And Connor just, like... Don't read it out loud, but for you. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Yo, so I got poison ivy, and it's starting to spread on me. I thought you were taking pregnancy. I am, man. What's the worst date you've been on?

I haven't had... I really haven't had disasters I really don't have a bad date story I have a lot of bad stories in which I've said really stupid drunken shit to like chicks at colleges and got the shit slapped out of me I mean like

I got I mean just the shit slapped out of me I mean I've had those instances but I haven't had like a bad date that you know I'm gonna guess Luke that I've had those instances, but I haven't had, like, a bad date that, you know. I'm going to guess, Luke, that you've had a lot of bad dates.

I've had a lot of good dates. I've had both. I've had both. I will say this. One time with my wife, I think it was her birthday, and I took her out to this really like posh in DC rooftop thing. I had a whole thing set up

and some dude came up who was like a big whatever it was at the time. I don't remember. Bloody Elbow or Spike TV. Whatever it was. Kind of thing. Are you crushing your bills? Defeating your monthly payments. Sounds like you're at the top of your financial game.

Level up from bill payer to reward Slayer terms and conditions apply Remember my wife was so bitter rightly. I totally fucked this up. I had been drinking so I wasn't thinking right So I was like ignoring my wife on her birthday to talk to some fucking rando who was a fan at this place and then I came back I was like I brought you a drink and

I didn't even blame her she was right she took the drink in front of me like this and she goes and just poured the motherfucking thing out right in the ground

in front of me sat the glass down and then walked out she was not my wife at this time so I was like running I was running

to like no I'm so sorry she was right I had totally fucked it up but that wasn't a bad date but that was a bad day

that was a bad day I mean I've had bad dates with my wife of now you know where you're figuring each other out and you know but uh no i've had some bad dates i've i've done the irish goodbye on some bad dates just like listen oh dude you you told me that yeah i don't want to tell the whole story i mean you left the girl with the yeah you, you. No, I mean, it was two drinks. I mean, what are you going to do? Yeah, but, okay, to Irish exit a date is just an enormous fuck you. It's like, dude, I can't even have this conversation. Listen, here's what I would say. But on top of that, she had to pay the tab.

I mean, that is just like. Two drinks, two drinks, two drinks. Still, you didn't even like throw it, like slip a tip. Listen, the amount of money I have wasted. On women? On women. They can pick up the bill once in a while. Yeah, I did wasted on women. They can pick up the bill once in a while. Yeah, I did Irish Goodbye Her, but

she was awful. I was in a bad place in my life, bro. I was depressed. I would never recommend it, nor would I ever condone it, nor would I ever do it again. At that time in my life, dude, I was a wreck. What was the worst year of your adult life? That's a great question.

Were you in this... I'll tell you a true story. You ready for this one, dude? I'll bare my soul a little bit. Just before I started really getting into MMA coverage, honestly, maybe in some ways MMA saved my life. I really believe that.

Or maybe gave me purpose or revealed things about my life. I don't know how to say it exactly. I was one time, and I was in a bad place, dude. My mom had only been dead for a couple of years, and that really wrecked me. That really ruined me for a long time.

Did it ruin your siblings, too? Or just not as profoundly? It ruined everybody. Yeah. No one gets over their mom killing themselves. That's right. But this was two years after my mom's death.

Maybe not even two years, maybe like a year and a half. And I had been drinking. I nearly drank myself to death over that. But I remember I just moved back to D.C. from New York, and I was driving around on the highway, and I remember breaking down in tears, crying, because I had realized at the time that I was good at nothing.

Yeah, that's real. That's a real moment. I told myself, you deserve to be sad because you're good at nothing. That was a bad, that was one of those moments that I was like, I wouldn't call that rock bottom because- What calendar year was that? I think 2005. Okay. I think 2005 2005 I think just before

Ultimate Fighter or right around there something like that but then it was right after that things turned around you're great at shit I appreciate that

here's what I mean to say it was not even a year later that I was on Colin Calvert's radio show on ESPN at the time

The Herd and everything else like it turned around fast but there was that one moment where I just was absolutely full of despair. Full of despair. Yes. I pulled over and masturbated. It was fun. I was going to say, your search history back then was probably just destructive.

Just, wow. All right, here we go. Let's keep moving. First country that BC wants to visit with his family when restrictions allow. just wow alright here we go let's keep moving wow first country that BC wants to visit with his family that's a great one when restrictions allow what do you think BC?

England I want to go with my kids my wife it's been her dream to go my kids want to go now too they're 13

so it's a great it's a great age to take them up like history places perfect yeah London is expensive though yeah I would love to do that London's like New York and i would do it the most i would even do it the most cheesy american you know tourist way of doing it but reality luke i want to explore all of england

i'm or the uk i'm very um i'm you know the the highlands the the sea i mean like there's a lot of nature there there's a lot of different uh. There's a lot of different beautiful stuff there. And I don't know, you know. The English are fans who watch this, notwithstanding. The English are a little bit cold. A little bit cold. Yeah, I mean, they're quasi-factory towners, you know, in some ways. Yeah, that's true.

You know, they do look, it's sort of part of their charm, I guess, that in the dental work, it's just part of their charm, right? Their teeth are better than the stereotypes suggest. Okay, BC, here we go. You cannot say gas station food. BC, what is your favorite type of cuisine? My entire life, it had been Italian. And up until really just now, every time I eat Italian, it hurts the shit out of my body because my body is rejecting it after 42 years of this.

I mean, I grew up in an area that was not multicultural in terms of food. And my amazing mom, who is still alive, and she's amazing, but she cooked basic, like chicken. So it was like, I didn't eat anything growing up. So Italian restaurants was our jam, right? So I love Italian. I mean, I love the shit out of it. Italian's hard to go wrong, dude. Italian's great.

It's heavy and it hurts, and I think I've just, I think my organs are literally rejecting at this point. But I would say as an adult, Thai food is... I fucking love Thai food, man. I'll give my wife credit. Like, when my wife inherited me, when we, you know, when we started dating and got serious and we're going to get married, I mean, dude, I was... Talk about, like, lack of culture or just, like, dude like dude I I'm I was just one of those

single guys who couldn't do a damn thing you know like I didn't use my stove you cook at all I can functionally cook no although I can grill okay definitely and I can functionally cook a handful of meals and and uh but I barely do I'm awful at it and I couldn't do anything dude I'm not handy I couldn't cook like she had to really love me you know and uh um yeah what was the origin of this question uh favorite cuisine and and you know she really forced me to you know try i'd never done like what is your wife like what's what's her favorite like dish oh her favorite thing is uh there's a restaurant there's a vietnamese restaurant that is like i love you because you know she doesn't want like the american version Her favorite thing is there's a Vietnamese restaurant. I love Vietnamese. To her, she doesn't want the American version of Chinese or even some Thai.

It's a little too fast food-y for her. She wants... I mean, if you've ever been to an actual Vietnamese restaurant, there's not an overabundance of flavor. I don't mean it like that. I mean overwhelming. If you buy General Tso's chicken from any place Chinese, you're going to get a shit ton of I don't mean it like that. I mean like overwhelming, like if you buy General Tso's chicken

from any place, Chinese, you know, you're going to get a shit ton of that glaze on there. You know what I mean? It's great, but it's,

there's something just so fresh about really good. Yeah. Does she like pho? Yeah, yeah. I don't know,

I don't know, wait, I don't know if that's what she goes for. Isn't pho Vietnamese? Pretty sure that it is. Could be. I'm not as well versed as she is.

But to me, it doesn't have the same flavor as Thai food. I think to me it's a little bland. But you feel so good after you eat Vietnamese. It is clean and it is a little bit different. But I wouldn't call it bland. What is your Thai, like, don't say Pad Thai. I mean, I do love the shit. Listen, I am not above Pad Thai, but it's like street food.

It is. It's, it's when you, but when you, it's, it's becoming the things that like, I would say like barbecue ribs, unless it's like totally elite top shelf. I don't even want to like look at it.

I think it's disgusting. Right. I'm getting like that with, with Thai, with Pad Thai, even though like it's the basic, most go-to, even fast foodie meal for them.

When you find someone that does it like different and super great, there's a, there's a Tao place that we go to that has Thai food. But it's got like, I'm sorry, a Laotian place

and it's got some Thai food there. And it's, dude, it's just next level. So I know that you're trying to say don't say Pad Thai, but it is next level when it's done,

you know. I want to call it that, but do you remember the King of the Hill joke that was like, he's like the the Laotian neighbor and They were like, where are you from? He's like I'm from Laos and they go what part of China and or Japan is that in? And he's like no flouse. This is racist as shit. What he sounds like, right? I mean, come on I'm just doing the character on the show

Favorite Thai food? I would go with, have you ever had yum nua? Dude, that's the thing. I don't know the name. Okay, that's when they give you, it's a, literally, it is a beef salad that's spicy. Okay, I've had something similar to that. I don't know what it was called. They just bring you a salad with a shit ton of shaved beef in it, and it's really hot.

It's awesome. I get a lot this... It's like beef wrapped in... Wrapped in an onion with scallions all in it. I mean, it's incredible. Say it again? It's beef, but wrapped in onion and filled with scallions. I don't know.

And you dip it into a sauce and it's- Pad Se Gow is one of their rice noodle ones. You ever seen the Thai noodles, they're thick and flat? Yeah. Those are awesome too. We have really good Thai food where I live, but yeah. All right, hold on, let's move along. Any good food you've had in Miami so far?

I went to Shouts, Danny Cigarette sent me last night to Ceviche 105 over here at Aventura Mall and I had this Lomo Saltado there. Yeah. That was so fun, and that Pisco Sour. After the Versace, we went to a South American restaurant, is that the way to say it? Yeah. It was Colombian.

I had a Peruvian lunch. Look, it was incredible. I couldn't even describe it to you. I don't even remember what, but it was freaking incredible. It was a side of plantains that were steamed, but then a little bit stir fried. And then you had a plate of beans and then rice. And then on top, it, it was like shredded beef. Yeah.

Right? And mixed with the plantains and that sauce. I mean, it was. Yeah, it was good. Dude, that was incredible. And the waiter refused to speak to me in Spanish. He no-sold you worse than Shab did to me during morning combat on Friday. I mean, he was just like.

I wanted to be like Columbia, a great country. Never been there. I wanted to be like Colombia, a great country, never been there. I wanted to tell this motherfucker, it's like, bro, okay, I've had the one incident where the lady was making fun of my accent. I want to tell this motherfucker, it's like, bro,

I've been to Colombia numerous times and ordered without my wife, without issue. I know how to order in Spanish, fucko. Yo, but you had it like, I'm going to show these motherfuckers how I can talk Spanish.

You had that vibe. Yeah, it was like. You had that swinging dick vibe. I did, I did, I did. And he was no selling it 100%. All right, BC. Rihanna or Beyonce? Rihanna.

Yeah. Easy call. Yeah, that is. Easy call. That is. Favorite sitcom? favorite sitcom I mean Growing Pains was great but I don't think that holds up today but Growing Pains is fucking great

Growing Pains was amazing I like Seinfeld but I'm not one of these guys who's like oh my god it's obviously brilliant but I've always been turned off by the over the over the overrun of fandom for that. I'm really trying to... Trying to think?

I'm really trying to figure out what's the answer here. I mean, Seinfeld's certainly in that category, depending on what you like. We've been going for about an hour, so let's kind of like speed this up a little bit. Okay, let's speed it up. I was going to say, early Married With Children was amazing. Someone's asking me, Luke, who dresses you? No one. You're not in high school anymore. Pink pants ain't flattering you. Wow. So hold on. This is from Mohegan when I went to the gym.

Yes. When I go to the gym, I'm not one of these assholes who decides to wear a gym shark and like I want to look cool and awesome for others. Understand something. When I go there, I go there for a purpose. It's to get motherfucking swole and I don't give a shit about the clothing. I wear t-shirts and whatever shorts because I'm a 41-year-old man and I don't need a shit about the clothing. I wear t-shirts and whatever shorts because I'm a 41 year old man

and I don't need your validation with my cool gear. You should dress in the Venom fight kit. You know how expensive those

fight kit shirts are? No. For at least when I used to look through the UFC's Reebok catalog to get

the bargain basement deals that are like 80% off. Dude, just the walkout shirt, I mean, it's like fucking like $70, $80.

Who would pay for such a thing? I bought, whose walkout shirt do I have? Someone like Jermaine, someone random like Jermaine Durand.

I got it down to like 15 bucks and bought it. Someone's asking us, they're like, oh, I have Volkan Ozdemir's walkout shirt too. Those shirts are high quality, dude. Someone's asking us, oh, I have a Volk, Volk and Ozdemir's walkout shirt too.

Those shirts are high quality, dude. The walkout one, the old Reebok walkout one. Yeah, they're money. They're money, yeah. Someone's asking, how do you feel about

Elon Musk and crypto? And my answer is like, we're here, there's a crypto conference. Fuck crypto, bro. Also, it's like, it's a little bit pretend internet money

and also, I just don't care. But like, even if we're like, yo, Luke, you don't know what you're talking about, bro. I don't, that's fine. I don't care, I really don't care. But like even if like, yo Luke, you don't know what you're talking about bro. I don't,

that's fine. I don't care, I really don't care. Someone's asking you and I think you know what they mean. How homeless is BC? I mean, it's all,

it's just, it's entertainment, right? CEO of BF Chang's. I mean, you know, I picked up a few more shifts this week, I guess. Okay.

If you could live anywhere, but the deal is it's the U.S. and it is important for your career, where do you live? I mean, if I, but what does the career thing mean? Because right away I'm thinking Pacific Northwest. I'm moving to Colorado. Well, not Colorado. Colorado's not Pacific Northwest. I know, but it's much more in that direction. Yeah, it is.

Ultimately, I want to live in Washington State. Why that place? Because it's got, like Southern California, it's got the distinctly different nature shit coming together at the highest level. You have, like, Olympic National Park has has the ocean snow-capped mountains and a rainforest in it you know i mean and then you've got like north cascades national park which is like the um it's uh it's they're just ridiculous beautiful mountains so there's a lot of shit there and then you mix seattle and that kind of culture i think that'd be great but people don't think i can pull that off because of the rain and the darkness there. Did you ever see that show called The Killing?

No. So it was that Swedish dude who played in, he has almost no accent, but he played in Suicide Squad, and then some ginger woman, I don't know her name, but it was like a murder mystery show, took place in Seattle. Motherfucker, every episode was torrential downpour. Yeah, so I would want to live in either Oregon or Washington but it's the same thing

and I know that it could differ based on where you live but I mean it'd be badass to live in and around Seattle. That'd be a city I'd really want to like

fit myself in the culture of. Do you feel that way? I have respect for the Pacific Northwest. I've heard nothing but amazing things about it.

It's not the right fit for me but like I would never shit on it. I bet you Portland's a great area, too. Portland's cool, I'm sure. I think if I could live anywhere, just to be honest with you, I love D.C. I need mountains. I need big mountains. Let's say I had a vacation home.

Where would you put a vacation home? You get to pick one place. New Orleans. New Orleans. Really? Dude, I love New Orleans. I mean, it was fun when I was there. I love everything about New Orleans. I love the food. I love the people I love the city. I love my pants. I mean this all right go ahead. Yeah, let's keep talking about we can pause the video

It's not live Do my wife is such a huge fan of cyborg of all the questions she asked me today She give shit about your interviews. Yeah, she didn't give shit about your interviews. She didn't give a shit about my interviews. She just asked me, and she was, how was Cyborg? What? Yeah. I was like, dude, honestly, today for my wife, the thing that stood out to her was,

you must be a big deal because Cyborg sat with you. She fucking loves Cyborg. Are we live? Yeah, it's on. Yeah, it's on. All right. Here we go. Let me get back to these. We don't have much time left. Here we go. Ready? love Cyborg love Cyborg are we live? yeah it's on yeah it's on alright here we go let me get back to these

we don't have much time left here we go ready? oh do you know what is in this sitcom conversation Luke? can you hear me out here?

what's in the sitcom cheers that's an old poll man but I was see I was an old soul watching that stuff like real early I mean that show

back especially back then dude that was that was must see that stuff like real early. I mean, that show back, especially back then, dude, that was must see. That was, I mean, were you big into Cosby Show

or just into Rape? I'm not going to answer that because I think it's awful, but, here we go. BC, what's the best music to drink to?

That's a great question. I really think that is situationally dependent. No, I don't. I think it's upbeat rock and roll. No, no. Really? You think so? The best music to drink to?

Yeah, bro. Yeah, what's the situation? Are we at a backyard barbecue? Are we at a club? Are we at a club? Are we at a bar? For sure. If you bring in the backyard, see, if I'm doing

the backyard barbecue, I'm going 90s, so that does change that question. I think you're... Well, let's start there. Backyard. Let's go.

Backyard barbecue, you say 90s. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, if you go to a bar, what do you want to hear? That's a great question. I want to hear rock. I want to hear classic rock

at a bar, yeah. Classic rock? Yeah, fucking classic. Do you want to hear rock. I want to hear classic rock at a bar, yeah. Classic rock? Yeah, fucking classic. You want to hear when the levee breaks and shit? Yeah. I mean, I like the song, but... I do. What's your favorite Zeppelin album, Luke?

I don't like them in that way. That's fair. All right. I don't dislike them in any kind of way, either. There's certain bands I haven't dislike them in any way either. There's certain bands I haven't gone album by album on, but it's my preferred method. I'm in deep. Are you going to pull my white card because I don't know a lot of Led Zeppelin records? I'm not touching that.

If that wasn't your band, it wasn't your band. It's fine. I mean, I'd never seen The Godfather until the other day. So, Luke, what I was saying was, you know, now I have no idea what I was saying, so this is great. You just peed in my bathroom there. How was that? Was it good for you? No, this is a nice place, though. I'll tell you that. It's a nice place. God, dude, Showtime has taken care of us in a way that's like, I don't know if I can go

back, bro. Go back where? Like, okay, understand, BC and I have weird contracts. Like, the weirdest I've ever seen. Where, if we fly Showtime, it's one level of treatment. And if we're doing it for CBS,

don't get me wrong, dude, they take complete care of us. But it's a media company, it's not the same kind of calculus about costs. You know, it's, it's, it's Greyhound versus Lamborghini. I mean, I don't know if I disclose all this publicly, but it's awesome. We'll edit it out.

It's pretty awesome. We'll edit it out. I'll just say Showtime takes unbelievable. When I say unbelievable, I'm not exaggerating. Unbelievable care of us. I've worked in some form for a lot of different companies, even short cups of coffee on shows or whatever, and the treatment.

It's like a family. It's incredible. There's a reason why, like, dude, like the guy who is the PR guy for Showtime is Chris de Blasio. He was the PR guy for Showtime when they were with fucking Strikeforce, and he's still here, and it's not because he's like stuck around

and not being able to advance. It's because people don't want to leave. It's because Showtime takes an absurd level of care of people. And for two stray dogs,

dude, we've been stray fucking dogs most of our careers. People let us in the house now. We don't talk enough that when CBS

came in on this, when you joined, our show could have very well got sanitized. What do you mean? Like CBS would have a different aesthetic than Showtime? It would have maybe different rules on what we could say and can't say. You know what I mean? If this was going to air in any form on CBS Sports,

Showtime has always allowed us to just do. Don't get fired, but go. And the fact that you got hired there, CBS bought in, and yet it's the same, we don't have to change who we are,

it's the same show, and it goes, you know, it goes on YouTube, and... Dude, we are lucky, we're the luckiest

fucking people on earth, man, I really, I truly believe that. That's why I feel like this is a special project. I truly believe that. In my heart of hearts,

I believe that, I believe that. You know, people who like this is a special project. I truly believe that. In my heart of hearts, I believe that. I believe that. People who win the lottery are lucky too. So don't worry. We're not... Some people think you gave your soul away to get that Versace robe. No. I'm still going to go back.

Listen, if that fight sucks tomorrow, I'm going to absolutely hammer it. Showtime knows what... got in hiring me. They didn't hire me to like, hey, can we have Luke's bland opinions? That's not what they hired me for. So, yeah. All right, BC. Yo, the schmo was there today, and he had a vest.

I saw on the back. I saw, dude, man, I'll say this for fucking schmo. That fucking guy grinds. Dude, he's in shape, too. He's in shape, yep. Dude, that fucking guy must live on airplanes and cars and Ubers. I mean, he had a pretty tight fade. That was pretty, I mean, he doesn't have frown on the hair.

Who cuts his hair, you think? I don't know, but like. Oh my God, by the way, hold on. His attention to detail of the gimmick is high. By the way, can we air out Brendan's job here a little bit for fun? For fun, for fun. So today, Brendan, so okay, so it was me, BC, just like this, and then it was Brendan on the end, and then we had we had Matt Barnes Matt Barnes for MMA fans who may not know was played

in the NBA for like fucking 15 years and won the NBA championship in 2017 with the Warriors the Warriors but he recommended to Brendan a barber in LA so Brendan went to the guy to get his haircut. And Brendan even told the story like this. Brendan was like, hey, what over there? And the guy was like, don't get me wrong, absolutely competent, did a great job, it was a good haircut.

But the way Brendan told it was like, yo, the guy was like, normally I charge $400, but for you $275. And you were making fun of my $100 haircuts? Fucking Matt Barnes is getting $400 haircuts. What is the tip on that? $80?

It's $500? A fucking pop? Yo, I will say Barnes had a tight, he used to have a tight face. I didn't say his haircut looked bad. Yeah. His haircut looked great, but like for $500 bones? I mean, is that part of like the guy traveling to you? Does he just like give up his life for that stretch and he comes to you?

He might. Does that cover travel? I don't know, Luke. But, yeah. I mean, look, when you're Shob's level, he's been very successful with the podcast game. So when you're at that level, you know, maybe he's at the Bitcoin conference right now. We don't know. He could be a presenter.

No, I asked him about that. I was like, are you into Bitcoin? He's like, oh, my God. It's like, I got to, you know. He could be a presenter. No, I asked him about that. I was like, are you into Bitcoin? He's like, oh my God. It's like, I got to, you know. Show. Yeah. Favorite porn star who lets in fans in the back door. Oh, God.

Hey, did you get that email that Floyd has in OnlyFans now? I'm serious. I'm sorry, what? Floyd Mayweather opened an OnlyFans account. I got an email publicizing it. I don't understand. Is heizing it. I don't understand. Is he showing it? I don't know what he's showing, bro.

It's an inside look. He owns Girl Collection. That'd be fun to see. You're like, I wonder, can we expense that? Yeah. Can we go to Girl Collection and just spend stupid Showtime money? I don't know that we could. I want to talk about commitment and grinding. Can we go to Girl Collection and just like spend stupid showtime money? I don't know that we could. I want to talk about commitment and grinding.

Didn't Ariel interview Mayweather at Girl Collection at like 4 a.m. or something? Listen, listen. You know what? That's dedication. Hold on, hold on. I'll give Ariel. This is the most credit I'll ever give Ariel, and I mean it sincerely. That was one of the most baller fucking things I've ever seen.

Ariel, for Mayweather McGregor, wanted to get an interview with Floyd. And Floyd's people were like, you can go to Go Collection and just wait. In other words, go fuck yourself. And Ariel was like, okay, great. Got the cameraman, got a car, and went out there, showed up, the whole shit, and they were like, you can wait for Floyd when he's ready. Which was midnight when they told him that. Floyd didn't come around until like

three or four in the morning. He waited until four in the morning for the guy. And even if you watch the interview, Floyd was like, okay, you waited. He was actually like, okay, I'm impressed. Yo, Ariel must have saw a lot of ass, right? He saw four hours of just asses and titties.

Here we are making it out to be like he's waiting in the car. Ariel was fucking out there like, look at this. But to his credit, I'll never forget this, because we had the MMA beat the next morning. He showed up on an hour's sleep. That's professional. No, seriously. And then came out and then I'll give him credit. That was one of those

moments where I was like, okay, dude. You earned it. One of those things where that was so impressive, it doesn't matter what kind of hater you are, you gotta give it to him. You know, Ariel should have showed up at Girl collection with a vest with his face on the back Oh, dude, well you would have got the interview a lot quicker. I'm telling you yeah, dude. Yeah, you know the schmoe um

He's going for it. I like I like the schmoe bro. I don't have anything I don't have anything negative say about the schmoe, you know I don't watch all those interviews or whatever because it's not for me But like you know you you and I I know weirdos who just fucking grind. That's us, man. Yeah. That's us. You know, that was really instilled in me in the factory I'm bringing you.

When you worked in the mailroom and actually not in the factory? I was shipping and receiving manager, okay? All right. All right, BC. You want to put some final thoughts on this? We didn't took enough anal pornography on this thing. Aren't we supposed to get fired with this? It's quite tame.

Luke, who do you think is the best in-game slam dunker of all time? Ooh. Sean Kemp? Fucking A, yeah. Dude, yes! Second would be Dominique Wilkins I mean there's strong cases

Dominique was fucking Was a authoritative dunker All I do in my spare time Is watch like Dominique's 50 Greatest Dunks You know or whatever Yeah Dominique let him have it Yeah

But Sean Kemp dude Sean In shape Seattle Supersonics Sean Kemp Would fucking Absolutely Murder the rim Yo Kemp would fucking absolutely murder the rim

yo Kemp in his peak seasons we forget he was a complete offensive player like he had a jumper like he had a post game oh he's offensive

he's got like 57 kids yo he got real fat after the long game and he's fat as shit he's like I was like trick daddy

is that Sean Kemp yeah dude sorry about that yeah Sean Kemp was a fucking incredible dunker I was like, trick daddy, is that Sean Camp? Yeah, dude, sorry about that. Yeah, Sean Camp was a fucking incredible dunker. Blake Griffin is up there. Oh, fuck, Blake Griffin. Obviously Michael Jordan. Dude, Blake Griffin is like, he's kind of washed, right?

At this point he's kind of washed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But dude, on the nets, when they bring him on, I get sized. Yeah, yeah. I get sized. Yo, all I do is watch 90s NBA even today full playoff do I watch full playoff games like in my hotel rooms I'll go right now and watch like

game one of the 92 playoffs just devour like every second of the game I want the pregame show that's amazing I couldn't do that dude it's sick but it's funny like I couldn't do that. Dude, it's sick, but it's funny.

I'm reliving it, and it's crazy how many things we take for granted or just have an opinion on, and you go back and watch it. You're like, man, that guy was nasty. I can never talk about him. You know what's kind of funny, too? There's an argument to be made, like the convenience of technology and the consumption of any kind of content. The ease is not necessarily what you want.

So I'll give you an example. Back when I would buy Pride DVDs, of course you could go and just fast forward if you want, but it was, I'm not going to say cumbersome because that's not the right word, but like there was something to be said about the fact that you had a disc and you put it in the DVD player and just let it go. And there were so many things you would pick up on on the event that if you just fast forwarded to the fight you would have missed. Yeah, yeah. And there's a case to be made that like the painstaking process of consumption, it should be a little bit, clumsy is not the word, but like there should be more to it than

just, I'm going to go, like when I watch pornography let's bring it back to that because it's my favorite thing, I don't watch the preambles I don't need to know whether you're the mechanic or a doctor I just need you I just That's it, that's it, that's it

Ref, get in there, please, Ref I just need, I just need hammering, get in there, please, Ref. I just need a hammering. Just put the hammering in the world. I'm looking for it. But with the fights, man, I mean, it's like, dude, watching Steven Quadros and Boz Rutten go back and forth and have these previews

and what it all meant and what they would talk about, it added so much character to everything else that came after it I don't know it's kind of lost in this generation a little bit remember when Bill superfoot Wallace burped on the air that was fantastic yeah I don't actually happen in UFC one when he opened oh yeah and he called it he called the wrong name and he looked like a Heaven's Gate guy too didn't he i was like bill you got the nikes on yeah i didn't know that bill uh that bill wallace had an exhibition fight against tommy

hearns in the mid 80s i had no idea about that yeah it came up in the research who won i don't know because i don't know what the rules were um our our showtime research packet had uh some like famous like you know muhammad ali against lyle Lyle Alzado during that brief time Ali was retired. And, you know, there's other, there were other, like, Willie Pepp fought, like, Sherry Robinson at one point, like, when they were both old. Like, there's some random ones that happened. Yeah, there's more of these,

like, not quite Logan versus Floyd things, but weird exhibitions, crossover exhibitions. There's a lot more of these than people imagined. And mostly they're bad. You know, they're not all that great. But that's what tomorrow's about.

Like, tomorrow's just about like, look, dude, listen, Floyd, you're going to stretch this fucking guy whenever you want. You know, just make it entertaining. Yo, I hope Trick Daddy plays again before the man of the day. That'd be awesome. He might have a coronary, bro.

If you go to the jukebox at Waffle House, here's the trick. They have all the songs that are hits or whatever.

People don't know this. On the left side of the menu, if you're looking down at the whole glass shield, there's a series of songs that are just Waffle House songs, right? Like, Waffle House is the greatest. And I played one that was like super annoying. It's a true story.

I put in $20. Oh, God, that's unbelievable. It was 25 cents a song, and I fired a 20 in there, and I put nothing but the same Waffle House songs over it. They literally, they told me, they took my food, they wrapped it up, and they told me to get out. And when I left, and I'll never forget, they took the, like,

you could see in the window and shit, because there's a window right here, they took the fucking jukebox and I'll never forget, they took the, like, you can see in the window and shit, because there's a window right here. They took the fucking jukebox and they shoved it, and then they yanked the shit out the wall. They yanked the cord that was plugging it in out the wall. They were fucking irate. I was 17. I was an asshole

I've been kicked out of so many fucking bars and restaurants. I've told the story before. The Marine buddy of mine who came,

you may have heard this. We can wrap on this. He got back from Iraq and then he called me. He was already drunk when he called me. This is a great story. You can say this on the air? I've told most of this on the air already. But basically, he was like, come meet me downtown. Come meet me downtown.

Let's go look at some fucking titties. Yeah. I was like, all right, man. That guy would have been great at the Capitol, right? Dude. No, he needs to be on MK, dude. Anyway, so I go downtown. And he wanted to go to Camelot, which is this famous strip club on M Street.

And I'm like, all right, we can go to Camelot. And we get in. And he starts grabbing strippers. And they call on M Street. And I'm like, alright, we can go to Camelot. And we get in and like, he starts grabbing strippers and they call some whores and they kick us out. It was bad. It was bad. And then, you know, the whole nine yards. Dude, I...

Okay, here's a new one. I've never told this one before. So... You didn't tell the end of the story. Have i told that on air before i i don't think you should that's that's ridiculous i don't think you should say that how am i no i don't think you should how my friend wanted to pick up prostitutes and then did and then i left them they say in the marines leave no man behind i was like yeah but what about this situation there's a lot more detail in that story can we can we leave him behind um

i got kicked out of 18th street lounge on new year's eve 2006 2007 um so it was me and uh one buddy and then it was a bunch of us and it's relevant to the story so I'll bring it up it was me another white guy and then it was like all of our buddies who were there's like four or five black guys okay they're all we're all we're all friends we're all bros and we go to it we go to this club it's no longer it doesn't exist anymore It's called 18th Street Lounge. And I'll never forget, same situation. I'm just there drinking, whatever, like just doing my shit.

And all my buddies came. I'm like, bro, we got to go. We got to go. I mean, I am used to this point of just getting fucking bounced. Oh, my God. I can't even tell you what the street fight my friends got into. We got kicked out. We got kicked out and then got into a street fight afterwards. Jesus Christ. Another story. You got to wrap it. You got to wrap street fight afterwards. Jesus Christ.

Another story. You gotta wrap it. You gotta wrap it. The wrapping is this. The wrapping is that I get a... I'll never forget this, dude. This is so funny. So they came to us like,

yo, they're kicking us out. I'm like, what the fuck are they kicking us out for? We just... And you know how New Year's Eve works. It's like $200, all you can drink. So you gotta pay a fuck ton of money just to get in. And they throw us out. And we had been there maybe an hour, okay? And they throw us out, and I'm like, dude, what the fuck? And I was like, the fuck, bouncer bitch, blah, blah, blah.

And my friend goes, yo, bro, this is, he was black, he's like, this is fucking racial. And I'm like, yeah, this is fucking racial, bro. Against Armenians. Why are you throwing us out? He's like, yo, your friend took a piss in the fucking sink behind the bar that no one was using when you know when no one was looking and I'm like you're racist ass motherfucker he didn't do that shit and then the guy goes away he goes bro I pissed all in that thing he's like but keep up

which, you know, he admitted later. And then, I won't tell this story because I can't even get into it. One of my other friends, after we got fucking thrown out of a bar on New Year's Eve, and we had rented a room at the Mayflower, which is really close nearby.

That was where Elliot Spitzer had the sex scandal. And then this other dude came by, and my friend said the most foul shit to him. I don't know why he said it. He just did. And then them two started scrapping on the street. And it was like I was like, you know what, man? I need friends who don't like going to jail. I think I need...

Your Marietta voice just came out. I like that. I need friends who like, wow, we could actually party and then not go to jail. No one went to jail, but you know, it was even a risk. And then one of the other dudes, one of the people who got kicked out, we actually all split up. Two dudes went to another club nearby, and they got in, and then they got jumped.

I'll never forget. He comes back to the hotel room, both eyes fucking swollen as shit. Like, I don't know, man. Like Calvin Cater after fighting Max Holloway. Just comes rolling in like super like the movie Mask yeah like super fucked up
