Starting point is 00:03:50 and stronger. Absolutely. Actually, you're naturally talented, your lightning fucking quick. You know what I'm saying? Like you get from point A to point B and you got dynamite in your hands. You know what the fuck does it take?
Starting point is 00:04:03 to be a fighter, bro. That's crazy, man, you ask me. I was actually going to say, because a lot of people kind of ask me the same thing. You got a lot of guys on Instagram, hey, Guy, Calvin, I'm 16, 17 years old, man. I look up to you. What did you do to get to where you're at? But, I mean, the answer is always the same. I mean, there is no secret answer.
Starting point is 00:04:28 The answer is through hard work and winning fights. You know what I mean? you gotta really be prepared to win fights and win big fights. You know what I mean, there is no secret. Everybody wants to know what the secret is, what the secret diet,
Starting point is 00:04:42 what do you do with a secret pill to lose weight. Oh, it's just through hard work, good diet if that's your goal. But it's through hard work, well determination, man. And being at the right place at the right time. That too?
Starting point is 00:04:57 I mean, you got into the ultimate fighter which fucking people dream about. Yeah. Kids from all over. the world of 15 watching the ultimate fighter going I'm fucking training to audition for Dana white can you imagine that shit like that's your dream well I remember I'm not knocking I'm just saying that's a tremendous dream to have yeah then they get chosen to be on the ultimate fighter then to win the fucking ultimate fighter no I remember that's a complete different situation you
Starting point is 00:05:26 how old when you won the ultimate fighter 21 are you fucking crazy barely yeah barely I remember I remember I remember looking back at the room when I went to the tryouts in Vegas because they put it on a sign. They tryouts were they're ultimately in fire for middle weights and light heavy weights. So come on out. And so I went out and there's about 500 guys, 500 beasts, you know, just black belt and this, black belt and that, you know, done this. He's won a world title on this. And I just remember looking back at all these guys and just being massmarized for the first time of my life. like, oh my God, what am I doing here?
Starting point is 00:06:04 With all these guys, you know, I'm just a guy from you, my Arizona, for a small little town, you know, and there's a bunch of tough guys in the room I felt a little intimidated, you know. And what did they make you do at the tryouts? Well, they split you up in groups, so split a split group, group one, two, and three. You know, for example, they call up group one. Group one goes into a big room,
Starting point is 00:06:29 and there's a big room with, You know, at the time, Joe Silva and the matchmakers and the producers of the show as well, they put a group A in the room. There was a big mat in the middle of the room, and Joe Silva would be calling from where he was at. There was a big table, you know. And so he'd be calling so-and-so, go to the mat, and everybody had two minutes to wrestle and showcase their skills. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:06:59 You know what I mean? A lot of pressure. You wrestle, no punches? No, just jiu-jitsu. You start on your knees. Joe says go, two minutes on the clock, and then you go with another guy. You know, and they wrestle for two minutes. Joe says, okay, he looks at the file next.
Starting point is 00:07:15 Boom, he calls up the next two guys. Doesn't say nothing, you know? And say nothing. He's just, all right, boom, so and so two minutes. And then boom, while everybody's watching, you know. And then that goes on for about 50 minutes. to an hour. And then you go to the striking department.
Starting point is 00:07:37 You hit Mitz with coaches that are there. And then there's Joe Silva walking around with a clipboard. Like, okay, you can go sit down. Then just checking you off. Then, okay, you can go sit down. You know, and it's intimidating. It's intimidating. This little guy, this little guy with a clipboard, you know,
Starting point is 00:07:56 and you're super intimidated while he's walking around with his clipboard. or checking people off because this is your dream you know you want to be able to do good you want to impress him you know this is this is the dream that you've been working for for a long time and then what's the third test his day and then the third test and then the third test after that was done Joe said Joe Silva says okay guys well a lot of you guys um at the At the end of that session, he calls guys, okay, guys, the next couple guys that I'm going to call, made it through. The guys that I don't call, I'm sorry next time, just like that, you know? And so they call up about half the group.
Starting point is 00:08:43 They call up to go on to the next round. The next round, Joe Sova says it's the hardest part. Guys like Benson Henderson went through it and failed. guys like Frankie Edgar went through it and failed. It's the TV part, I guess, which was the hardest part, where you got to show personality. And I was like, you know what I mean? I'm just this shy little guy from a 21-year-old, 20 at the time, 20 at the time, 20-year-old
Starting point is 00:09:10 from a little town in Yuma. And I was like, well, how do you showcase your personality? You know, I don't know. So I went in there and I was just me. I just went in there and they told me, well. Kelvin, you're 5 and 0, you're 20 years old. We like you. And then my heart started beating, you know.
Starting point is 00:09:32 I relaxed a little bit. But I was like, well, I like you guys too. And that was it. It must have been 60 seconds while everybody else was taking five minutes to go in and out of that room with the producers. And that was a crazy part too, because the producers go into a little, a smaller room. and they put a camera in front of you and they get about 10 producers behind that camera and they're all staring at you on the other end
Starting point is 00:09:59 and they're all asking you questions and that was crazy you know just a lot of a lot of pressure in that trial it was pretty crazy it's uh that's part of the business it's that you have to look good on TV not look good but appeal they're creating a storyline
Starting point is 00:10:16 when it's a reality TV show I always do it at this stuff with that but I didn't know if you sparred the first fucking day against just unlicensed fucking guerrillas, bro. Right. Oh, no, no, no. They go at it. In those two minutes, I mean, they are going at it like guerrillas in those two minutes that they're trying out and doing jih Tzu for Joe Silva, who was at the time the matchmaker. You know, he was the man.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Yeah. Now how long was the house journey for? Seven weeks. Seven weeks. No cell phones. No cell phones, no TV, no radio, no outside communication. Yeah, seven days a week, you're going to the gym and to the house. Twice a day, seven days a week.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yeah, it's intense. With the same fucking beat. And then you're living with the- Smelling farts, fucking feet, and fucking. Playing pranks. Yeah, all of that. But, you know, I was with a good group of guys, to be honest. A lot of the guys, all of them fought in the UFC,
Starting point is 00:11:19 which Dana has never I don't think has ever besides the ultimate fighter where he gives everybody a contract so now you're fucking 21 you win the ultimate I mean when you were 12 were you dreaming of fighting no no never never I was wrestling I was wrestling just trying to become a wrestler and all of a sudden here you are on this big stage yeah man I remember I remember walking out to that ultimate fighter for now and just feeling overwhelmed
Starting point is 00:11:54 and I wanted to cry because I just remember being in the tunnel before I walking out before walking out to that fight just be like wow all this time imagining being here
Starting point is 00:12:10 and I'm here and I was just just came over this this feeling of overwhelmingness do you still get overwhelmed I don't think so no you don't get overwhelmed sometimes when you're walking to a octagon against somebody and you go, Jesus fucking, I mean, you went up against Vito Belfour,
Starting point is 00:12:28 correct? Yeah. This is somebody that you watched. Yeah. Years ago on TV. You watched them. You watched them destroy people. You watched them lose.
Starting point is 00:12:38 You watched Big Vidor. Right? And here you are across, you're looking Vito or Belvoir. Yeah. You know, I told you, you were at the comedy store Tuesday night. It was a great night, great lineup. Oh, amazing. Then we went to the back and.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Joe Schilling was there. That was amazing. Everybody was talking. Thursday night, you know, I'm sitting back there. I've been doing this 27 years, and I still get overwhelmed at times. In those situations, which on the drive home, it's just coming down from that. Naturally, I don't bring brief for in my car. I don't like it.
Starting point is 00:13:16 They gave us a choice to smoke smoking your fucking house, smoking your yard. But to be puffing in your car, you're asking for trouble. But you felt that way when? Thursday had to bring up Martin Lawrence. Okay, no big deal for some people. No big deal. I still remember renting the tapes, the best of death comedy jam,
Starting point is 00:13:36 when I was starting out with a pencil on a piece of paper and watching him, you know, and going, Jesus fucking Christ, how good is this guy, you know? Amazing. And listen, 27 years driving up World Canyon, I called Lee, I just brought up Martin fucking, you know. That's amazing. Following Jeff Ross, Sebastian,
Starting point is 00:13:57 and I'm like, here I am 55 years old, which most people in this career would be fucking done. I'm overwhelmed. That's amazing. So I can't imagine. That's so dope. I can't imagine walking into the octagon as tough as you are with the fucking weapons you have
Starting point is 00:14:17 and looking up and seeing a dude you sat around with your buddy's drinking beer watching six, seven years ago, eight years ago, you know. Yeah, there's a sense of overwhelmingness. Is that what the word? That's the word. Something like that. Yeah, please. You're not the wrong now.
Starting point is 00:14:37 You just feel overwhelmed. But not in the sense that, oh, my God, I didn't know what the heck is going on in the sense that. that this is a big deal and I'm nervous about it. Like before walking out, you get a torn, I call it a tornado of emotions. I mean, you're happy, you're scared, you want to cry, you want to laugh, you want to, you want to do a, it's a tornado of emotions. You know, and that's, that's the overwhelming part. That's the part that you've got to learn how to handle or else it can mess you up. I mean, all these nerves, all this tension inside of you, you got to learn how to channel it and how to, how to, how to, um,
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah, I don't channel it, really. As a comic, as a comedian, when I watch a fight, for me, when I watch a fight, the walk is the most intriguing thing for me. I don't even think of the fight no more. Like when I used to do the shows with Joe, it's very important for sure. It was very important for me to go to the way in. It was very important. I always watch the way in. I watched the guy's reaction at the way in because, let me tell you something.
Starting point is 00:15:48 my friend Kevin Gastelman, it's the same for me. When that blue light comes on and that comic is on stage, and I'm next, and I've been sitting back there, howling, laughing at the comic before me, and that blue light comes on, which means I got about three minutes, and I take that swig of water,
Starting point is 00:16:08 I get up, I pull my shirt down, I pull my jacket up. You have no idea, like the emotions that you're feeling. It's kind of like the tornado of emotions. It's a tornado emotions, but I've only got a 10-foot walk. So I have 10 feet to fake the funk, as I call it, fake the funk. I'm falling apart inside.
Starting point is 00:16:31 For sure. I am dying inside. I am getting kicked by 20 Puerto Ricans in the Bronx in 1968. That's what you feel like. For sure. And then you hit the stage and your knee buckles. There's times my knee buckles. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:16:48 Come on, guys. My knee buckles. It's a six-inch thing. And then you get up, you shake the guy's hand, you give him a hug. And once you touch that microphone, we were talking about it the story. Right, right. I remember. We were talking about the psychology of it.
Starting point is 00:17:02 That walked to me when I watch a fire to walk in and he's jumping up. Oh, my God. If it was me, I would run like dash and then dirty feet before I saw fucking, what's the cop's name? or the black dude herb dean yeah i just turn around and roll into running to the audience from like i couldn't imagine that walk some guys walk real slow i would have to run and then run in the cage and like put a cop on me to make sure i wouldn't run out oh yeah that's how scared i would be like oh that walk i don't like i don't like that fucking yeah no you're behind this curtain and they got a big big freaking light in your face they tell you okay you got 30 seconds there's the
Starting point is 00:17:47 countdown and then this whole time you're getting all this adrenaline rush going through your body you're like ah you know like i'm ready to go now forget the 30 seconds and they're trying to pull my shirt like you can't go now and uh i'm like fucking let me go you know i want to go and fight down like you just get this adrenaline rush uh you're scared you're happy at the same time you know at what point do you lose it when your foot hits the mat but but i get what you're saying with the with the before walking out to the stage, you do feel like, oh my God. I fake the funk. You have to.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I fake the funk. I'll let you know right now. That walk to the stage for me, I'm ready to get in the fucking car and run home. I'm the same. And never come out of my house again. Absolutely. That walk is a fake walk if there's ever been a fake walk ever. You have to fake it.
Starting point is 00:18:41 It's fake it there you make it. Fake it until you get there and then we'll worry about it. Once I touch the microphone, I don't know. That's like your jab. That's your first, that's the first punch you throw. It's either the first punch I throw or the first punch I get thrown at. Sure. Because I feel the same is I'm crapping my pants on the way to the arena, you know?
Starting point is 00:19:03 And as soon as my, I threw that first punch, all those errors are gone. I'm concentrating 100% on what's in front of me. That's when I truly feel when I'm living in the moment because I'm constantly, concentrating 110% in what's in front of me. Now, when you've been in the fight, you've lost fights. Yeah. Has there ever been a fight that you've been in that you thought you were going to lose and you ended up fucking doing something crazy?
Starting point is 00:19:34 Well. What was your toughest opponent, you think? I always go in there thinking I'm going to win. But deep down inside, there's always this other... There's a doubt. There's a doubt. For sure, you know, and I think, in my opinion, I feel like every fighter goes in there with their mindset. Like, yes, I'm there to win, but there's a real possibility that I can get knocked down.
Starting point is 00:19:59 Or some guys just don't think they can get knocked out. They go in there. Bad things happen, you know, but it's a mentality thing. It's crazy. And then how about getting knocked out in front of a million people? And waking up, you know, last week, thank God I've never been knocked out. No, I got submitted.
Starting point is 00:20:22 But, you know, it's funny how a couple weeks ago, Hector Lombard threw that late punch, and he knocked that dude out. And that dude kept saying, what happened? CB Dalloway. What happened? That's a hard. For me, in front of a million people to get up
Starting point is 00:20:40 and then walk out of it and not really know what happened and see all those people. Like that could happen on the street by yourself. Yeah. But for it to happen, like all those parts of that aspect of fighting have always intrigued me. Because I compare them to bombing and then walking out in front of the people. Or bombing. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:01 And standing outside after the show. And people walking past you without saying nothing to you. For sure. Really, feeling bad. Feeling sad. Yeah, it's the same type of emotions in a way. But like I said, every fighter, I've heard. Like, in my opinion, at least I do.
Starting point is 00:21:17 I go into with a, in my mind, with a certain reality set in my mind that I can get knocked out. I can get submitted. Just don't let it happen. Just don't let it happen. So this fight is May 12th. When do you start your official training camp? Well, we're about nine weeks away. So I already started training for this fight.
Starting point is 00:21:40 About nine weeks away. And this is 185. Um, yeah, middle weight, middle weight. I gotta give that fucking mule a break. I'm all right all there. Hit that mule two or three times and the fucking thing hits me back, you know what I'm saying? It can be rough. No, so now this is, so you're already in training camp now.
Starting point is 00:22:01 You're in the nine weeks away. Okay. How you, what is the usual training camp? Oh, man, it's about eight to ten weeks of just training, you know, getting, you know, getting in shape. making sure six days a week six days a week describe the week Monday Monday Monday Monday Wednesdays and Fridays I'm at Kings MMA okay well actually pretty much every day I my Kings a memory but Monday Wednesday Fridays is when we do I do it together with the whole pro team okay the whole pro team gets together and then in the
Starting point is 00:22:34 evenings I go with the amateur team it's more of an amateur team on Mondays and then Tuesdays I'm going on Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm going strength and conditioning Twice a week. And then in the evenings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So I'm either working my jit-tu or working my mitts, working mitts, reping. And then Saturdays I'm doing sprints. It's the only and last workout of the week.
Starting point is 00:23:01 It's sprints, it's the hard. That's good shit, though. It's tough, man. It makes me stronger than fuck sprints when you combine it with everything else. Oh, yeah, no, I've been doing that. When you combine. I used to live in Boulder, bro. In Boulder, Colorado's that.
Starting point is 00:23:14 health capital of the country, like back in the 80s. And I got to learn a lot. Like your neighbor, everybody does something. When you look at the entertainment guide in Boulder when I lived there, it was hiking to see the moon, you know, hiking looking for wolves. Outdoor activities. Outdoor activities. So I got to meet interesting people in that.
Starting point is 00:23:35 One of the guys that live down from me. A lot of those people are crazy. I mean, they know things that a lot of people don't. It's really fucking crazy. The guy down the corner from me was at that time a kinesiology major, but he already was strength and conditioning coach for Colorado. Colorado had a big black dude that was a strength and conditioning coach that was well known, and he was his understudy. And, you know, he had, his thing was running. 40 yards, 100 yards.
Starting point is 00:24:07 He believed. He was a sprinter. He believed in sprinting for training. Yeah. Any type of training for strength. For sure. He was like, that's the shit that nobody wants to do anymore. It's the basic shit.
Starting point is 00:24:19 It's the hardest thing because it just is the whole, you're just exploding your whole body. You know, no other workout is like a sprint. It's what my trainer says. It's just the type of reaction your body gets, no other workout gets it like that. You don't train any other aspect. Your body doesn't react the same than in any. any other workout only in sprints. Strength and conditioning has become a big part of it now.
Starting point is 00:24:51 Oh, huge. Years ago, nobody gave a fuck. Now they know that. Huge, huge. You have to keep your muscles lubricated. You have to stretch. For sure. You came it all cupped up.
Starting point is 00:25:02 How many times a week are you cupping? I'm doing once a week. That's great. Once a week cup and then once a week massage as well. And that's a lot. It helps a lot for recovery. You know what I mean? Somebody was telling me that they were,
Starting point is 00:25:14 having lunch with Dan Gable. Dan Gable was one of the greatest wrestlers that ever lived, American wrestler. And one of the most accomplished as well. And he trained like a mad man. You know, and he's got all these secrets and he's got all these ways of doing things that the wrestlers look up to him a lot, you know. But one thing he says he wished he would have focused on was recovery. I wish I would have focused more on recovery back in my day. And then I would have been able to do more. people have no idea how important when I turned
Starting point is 00:25:48 bro when I came from Cuba I hit in the head with a with a fucking lunch box and my mother put me in karate dog and I was you know I was in New York City I had in the head in Central Park you know and I have a five-year-old now and I was Tallinetti at his
Starting point is 00:26:06 child at his son's birthday party I go you're a tremendous black belt you're one of the top black belts in the country and your son is six and you can't explain jiu jitza to him why it's important he goes i know it's been tough i go my daughter doesn't comprehend her karate yet she doesn't comprehend she's five they the guy comes in on wednesdays and teaches him on location that you could go if you want i go to all the graduations and stuff but she doesn't know it's for self-defense you don't comprehend it's for self-defense do you get hit in the fucking head right
Starting point is 00:26:42 And I don't even know what my fucking point was. But so a couple of years ago, I got really heavy from the sleep apnea and the drugs and just focusing on comedy. You know, comedy was such a big part of my life at the time that I was living the lifestyle. That one in the more, you know, 10 years ago, if I would have bumped into you at one in the morning, me, you Victor Rogan in those days, stop. We're going to eat. Why are we standing here? Why are we standing here? Let's go to fucking, no, it's one.
Starting point is 00:27:16 We had to go to Cantors. Okay. And eat pastrami sandwiches, the French fries and onion soup and fucking crackers. And we'd sit there for two hours until fucking three in the morning. And whatever you don't eat, give it up. Because, you know, that three of us have been smoking. You know, it's fucking crazy. So I blew up to 418 pounds.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Wow. I went down to 270. And then I went up to like 3.40. Once I had the kid, I joined Jiu-Jitsu. I said, that's it. Gee, because I'm too old to fucking be doing ankle locks and shit like that. And it was so weird that even in my journey there, from there to now, the five years I've been messing around with it.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Like now, I'm working smarter. And you have to. I was going in there, and I wanted to do what Kelvin was doing. And if Kelvin said, let's go one more round, because it's my brother Kelvin, I'd do it again. Sure. And again and again and again the next thing, I'm opened up now. So at 50, yeah, I could open up. I could open up and breathing and I can get there and I could drink BCAAs.
Starting point is 00:28:19 And I can go there. It's two hours later when I can go to get out of the car. Now you're 50. There's lower testosterone. Me, I whack off. I do kettle bells. Testosterone is my middle. Stay in shape.
Starting point is 00:28:31 I knocked my wife up with 50 dogs. You ain't fuck with me. But I got to tell you something, dog. So now when I roll, roll, I roll twice a week. I go to Jitza only twice a week, and I do three, five-minute rows. Three-five minutes rolls? Three-five, and I do the technique.
Starting point is 00:28:49 I drill the technique. If you want to drill afterwards, I'll drill arm bars with you and guard passes and the whole thing with you. But after three rows, it defeats the purpose for me. Yeah. It defeats the purpose, because I also go to Muay Thai conditioning at nine. Oh, nice. So from nine to ten. So I want to go to four training sessions.
Starting point is 00:29:09 You know what, bro, I'm an animal. I smoke that dope in the morning, and it gets my heart kick. And I feel like Calvin, I'm going to go to... You're doing coffee? One cup. One cup. One cup.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Okay. Yogurt with wheat German old school to fight the fucking HIV. What's the other shit? The nuts, grape nuts. I'll do that, and I'll shoot over there just on that. You know, no eggs and nothing. But it's funny that. that all I can do is four times a week.
Starting point is 00:29:42 You have to be very realistic with your expectations. Yeah. And recovery is very important. Super important. You know, the idea I had to go home. Super important. I wasn't drinking. I wasn't doing nothing.
Starting point is 00:29:56 But when I get home at one, that means I don't fall asleep until two. Yeah. That means I'm up at seven with the five-year-old. That means the whole day I'm walking around halfway wounded. Don't get me wrong. I've ticked them. There's some days.
Starting point is 00:30:10 There's some days that they go by that way. But recovery is so important, and I didn't know until I got diagnosed with sleep apnea. When I had to sleep at me, Jesus Christ, that was the biggest weight gainer I had. Super important. Super important is sleeping, getting your rest. Oh, yeah. Sleep is another big one. Sleep is fucking huge.
Starting point is 00:30:32 The other day, I went to kickboxing conditioning on Sunday Saturday, and then I had to go to two kids parties. bro i got home at 4 30 by 5 o'clock papa tapped out i got up a 10 to 8 and i had a spot at 9 now that's completely different wow i can get up a 10 to 8 and make conditioning shower have a cup of coffee tweet you know suck my dick have a good day have a good day yeah and then fucking but the mind that was weird i had to get up drink coffee fucking take a hot shower and then talk to myself on the way down to the drive. And then when I got there, people were talking to me and had to, you know, I had to talk
Starting point is 00:31:12 to them so I could loosen up and I had an okay son. I had a bag of dicks but had a no case at the St. Paddy's Day. It's kind of weird how now I really got to take care of myself. You have to. You have to. I just had an aunt. Who's like my grandmother?
Starting point is 00:31:28 She had her stomach cut in about half or about a little ball. I don't know what that surgery is called. Yeah, like the gastric bypass. Gastric bypass surgery, exactly. She just had it done. I mean, you know, weight's always been a problem for her.
Starting point is 00:31:44 And she struggled with it all her life. She's 50. It's 50 now. And she had the surgery done. And she lost like 40 pounds last month. It was crazy. It was crazy. It's really...
Starting point is 00:32:00 Because, you know, eating habits are a problem for a lot of people. Bro, when I take those edibles, fucking Hercules can't stop me, dog. I'll pick that motherfucker up and fucking neck cranked with that if he gets in my way between me and the cabinets. But I'm pretty good. Like, I attack fruit first. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Apples. So I go to Weight Watchers. Weight watches in my seat because of high protein. It's still high protein. She was on it as well, my aunt. Fuck, yeah. That shit is good shit, man. So I go there.
Starting point is 00:32:34 And so I could eat all the chicken I want. want. I can eat all the seafood I want. Salmon, you know, that's all free. Fruit is free. Beans are free. Like, yes, they had Eddie's. Eggs are free. I love eggs. So yes, they had Eddie's. I had rice and beans. I put eggs on everything. Oh, my God. I wish I could eat eggs like that. Really? If I scrambled them with some green chili. Yeah. Like some fucking New Mexico green style chili, no cheese, but a cup of potatoes. I grew up on eggs. All there was in my fridge, sure enough was eggs of milk and tortillas. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:33:09 And beans. And that works, bro. And that's where I grew up on. Listen, eggs and beans and a tortilla. That shit works with some salsa. Mm-hmm. Ooh. That's it, man.
Starting point is 00:33:20 Fuck it. There's no cheese or salsa will work. It's all there was to eat back in the day. But this is, no, I... So I love it. I love it. I put it on everything. When I saw you the other night,
Starting point is 00:33:33 I'm like, this kid... fights the way he does because he's a young man. He's still like a fucking sponge. Yeah. And that's why when you were walking up the stairs, I go, how old are you now? Yeah. Oh, my God. It just fucked my whole mind up.
Starting point is 00:33:51 My whole mindset up about you. I've been in the public eye now for about five years. And it's been, it feels like it's been 10 years, you know. A lot has happened in the five years. And I've grown, you know, I've. I guess I've matured a lot in the public eye. And they've seen me, you know, they've seen me grow from a young man to almost 27-year-old now later this year. It's just been an incredible, incredible, incredible journey.
Starting point is 00:34:21 You know, we were giggling on the way in that I said, show up at this time because I do a periscope. I don't want you to test positive for the reaffir. And when you came in before the show started, you kind of told me to tell us a story or how it's 12 hours. before the fight or something like that. Right. So when I got caught, I read up on all the rules, of course. I had to read up on it and figure it out for myself. And I found out that they test for it only in competition.
Starting point is 00:34:50 And what was in competition was they consider it 12 hours before the ballot. So if you saw it comes to my gym a week out and I test positive for T. See what happens? Nothing. I still fight. I still get my purse. but at the same time you gotta be under the THC metabolite limit which I believe is is 150
Starting point is 00:35:14 which is a fuck you sitting in that chair no you sitting in that chair is that what it is oh yeah probably I don't know can you imagine if you test positive for THC now and we all have to go to court me and Lee with the tape footage I would love to know what my metabolites are Sample. Take samples off the wall.
Starting point is 00:35:36 They've probably never seen... We've been in this office for fucking... Charts like that, Lee. They really haven't. No, we've been in this office for two years. I don't know how much T8 says. It's got to be time. Every time I vacuum, I get to sell it to the weed store.
Starting point is 00:35:50 Oh, yeah. There's shit. There's shit all over the floor. He could put out his own dispensary down there. It's fucking crazy. 12, so 12 hours. Yeah. That was a big blow, man. That sucked when that happened.
Starting point is 00:36:03 Lesson learned. I mean, I got pulled off the Anderson Silver fight in Rio. You know, I lost my bonus that I had for that fight. And then, you know, like I said, I got pulled off the fight, which was potentially more money for the fight, you know, and then was suspended for three months for first violation. You'll never do it again. Now you learn your lesson.
Starting point is 00:36:30 You know why you learn your lesson? Because they hit you in the pocket. Yeah, exactly. Well, that's what I'm saying. Like, that was a big blow, especially in the pockets. I mean, I must have lost over 100 grand. Yeah, no, no, that's when it hurts you. That's when you go, okay, I get it next time.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Now we understand. You're compendro now. Exactly. I was a little fucking confused. Now we got this. We know the limits. We know the limits and stuff. So now you're going to stay at 185.
Starting point is 00:36:59 Well, to be honest, nobody knows this, but I was, I was considering going down a 175. They were even considering giving me a fight at 170. In Chile, they wanted me to headline it. And nobody knows that. But I contemplated it over a few weeks, like two weeks, with my manager, you know, just going back and forth. When you walk around that? Like 205.
Starting point is 00:37:29 But I contemplated because I was just going back and forth with my manager saying, like, yeah, just give me the best. 170 guy in the world you know I want the guy that'll get me the title shot or give me the best 185 guy that'll get me the title shot and um it just it just it just turns out that they wanted me to fight somebody that I didn't not in top five um which I wanted to I wanted to fight somebody in top five somebody that'll get me the title shot but um they didn't want to give me somebody like that they didn't want to give me a top 15 guy so I was like well that's a risk you know I'm realistically, possibly I'm about two or three fights away from a title shot at 170. 185.
Starting point is 00:38:12 I win one or two more. What's Jacaree? Two and one. He's ranked second. Yeah. So you go when you jump over Jacqueray, you're right there. You can talk to shit. Well, your last fight, you beat the champ like he was the champ four weeks before your fight.
Starting point is 00:38:25 Something like that's ranked. That's ranked. So he was the number two ranked when he fought me. Now I get to fight Jacqueray, who's ranked number two. and hopefully gets me in line for the title shot next time. Hopefully you have me all next time. I bring the bell. Bring it right here.
Starting point is 00:38:41 Yeah, no, I hope. I wish you all the luck in the world. You're a great young man. I mean, 20 fucking 6 years. Just to handle not just fighting, but what goes with it? Man. Listen, I love comedy, bro. I love doing comedy.
Starting point is 00:38:58 I love it. I just got into it, and I've been following you guys for a while now. No, I love doing comedy the way you love fighting. Sure. There comes a point though sometimes you go, why miss there be all this drama just for me to do what I want to do? Right.
Starting point is 00:39:13 I got to wear shorts. I got to do this. You gotta wear a shirt. I gotta wear pants. I gotta have people knocking on my door six in the morning. They want a sample of blood. Who does this? Not even Dracula does that.
Starting point is 00:39:25 They want blood. It's six in the morning. I got to wait here. I got two hours from them to... It's insanity. Nice. You go. It is.
Starting point is 00:39:31 That's what people don't really understand. It's that last. blasting through what goes around. Your manager shorts you on the check. All of a sudden they find them in a brothel with three hookers and the Kardashian's ex-buddy forming from the mouth. And now you've got to get a new manager. It's all this shit that trying to focus on what's in front of you
Starting point is 00:39:56 with all this shit going around you. It's been hard. Oh, yeah. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard. It's hard at my age. I can't imagine.
Starting point is 00:40:03 At 26, doing what you're doing. At 26, I was doing time, bro. Yeah, that's crazy. At 26, I wasn't thinking about nothing. I was thinking about just surviving on a daily day basis. I didn't give a fuck about anything else. That's crazy. I really, so you got joccuray now.
Starting point is 00:40:21 Jesus fucking Christ. May 12th, which is three months away, but in reality, it's three weeks away. Like, that's how fast time goes. Oh, yeah. When the clock is ticking. Oh, yeah, especially when you're in. camp once that four week mark hits now it settles
Starting point is 00:40:39 in now that's when you know oh my god four weeks away that's three weeks of training plus fight week you know that's that's coming up short and time goes quick and fight week is drama week in other words go downstairs talk to the media
Starting point is 00:40:55 you gotta throw sidekicks in public and a bunch of people with fucking cameras I want to throw this shit I get I do this in the mirror for myself you know I'm saying Oh, yeah. They went outside of the hotel. Oh, my God. It's a nightmare.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I can't imagine. When I see public workouts, like whatever they call them, open workouts. Yeah, yeah. I shit my fucking pants. Like, I would snap after three minutes. Like, after three minutes, get the fuck out. Get the fuck out. Enough.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Enough coming down here. Look at a guy trash. Go home. Get on a bicycle. Your fat fucks are cameras. It's a little scary sometimes. I mean, you get all these eyes looking at you. you get a little overwhelmed.
Starting point is 00:41:37 Hey, Calvin, especially me. You know, I'm not a guy that's always been used to the spotlight. I like to kind of lay low and kind of stay out of eyesight, you know. And so a guy like me, when spotlights on, I get overwhelmed. I like get panic attacks almost, you know, but you've got to learn how to deal with it. You have to. You know, we were talking about entertainment. I was talking, I don't know who the fuck I was talking about entertainment about. And I go, I learned a lot about entertainment from wrestlers.
Starting point is 00:42:06 I did the longest yard. Really? How those guys behaved towards the public compared to the movie stars in the movie, how they would hide. Wrestlers were out there. Yeah. Talking to people, shaking hands, you know, hugging people. WWE wrestlers? Yeah, Steve Austin.
Starting point is 00:42:25 Oh, wow. And Kevin Nash. Oh, wow. And we had one more guy that was doing stunts or something. He was a wrestler. So funny. That's crazy. Those guys were getting blasted.
Starting point is 00:42:35 Those guys were living like doctors. Oh, yeah. They even got, like, if you watch the longest yard, the guards went to Adam Sandler and said, listen, dog. Yeah? It went on on the set by 10. We'll soon start drinking. And they brought a blender in. And they would send the fucking AD to get beers every day.
Starting point is 00:42:56 Oh, a bunch of pieces. Oh, and Goberg. Oh, I remember. We would do is we would lock Goldberg's. door from the inside. No. And he was trying to get it. No.
Starting point is 00:43:05 And then every day he would rip the door off the hinges. Just rip it through like nothing. Like nothing off the fucking hinges. He would rip it just on purpose. That dude is huge. He was huge at the time. I remember him. I remember him.
Starting point is 00:43:17 It was something that. Stone cold as well. Stone cold was. And at that time, this is 2004. He was still stone cold. And I just did his podcast and he said it. He goes, dog, I was drinking with three fucking hands. They were fucking getting fucked up, man.
Starting point is 00:43:36 That's a complete different world. Oh, yeah. No, I mean, that dude was the face of WWE or WWF at one point. Stone Cold Steve Austin. Goldberg. I mean, those are all big-time guys that get paid a lot of money. A lot of money. Let me get some shoutouts.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Let me get this fucking party started here. Side catac. Whatever. It's your birthday again. cock sucker. Knock it off over there in Japan. Christopher Owens, Paul Robinson, Marcelo Matos,
Starting point is 00:44:10 Joey O'Neill, Abel Zarin, Gina Jackson, Sergio Ortega, the man of steel. Blank, Radio Shack, and my favorite juice place, the greenhouse juice over on Lancash. I'm going there and tell him Uncle Joey
Starting point is 00:44:25 says that shit is real over there, dog. What is it? They got like these fucking, my friend from a conditioning class goes, bro, I went over there and started drinking these. They got everything. They got fucking compocha untapped. Okay. They got fucking kale.
Starting point is 00:44:40 I had kale there for the first time. I wouldn't try kale if you paid me. But they have coconut, pineapple with kale, but they don't put the stems in it. Okay. So you don't taste nothing. It tastes it delicious. Okay. And you know me, dog.
Starting point is 00:44:52 I don't like fucking tasty shit. Yeah, yeah. If it don't taste good, I don't give a fuck. I love Mike Doche, but he's got a lot of fucked up shit on his diet. You know what I'm saying? Like quinole and shit like that, I ain't eating that shit. Which one? Quinoa.
Starting point is 00:45:06 Quinoa. Whatever the fuck? Yeah, I ain't eating that shit, dog. Nothing is never going to happen. He's got a lot of canoa. He's got a lot of canoa, and I don't like that shit. He's got a lot of lot of stuff. But he's got some good recipes.
Starting point is 00:45:16 In the book, he's got three or four. Oh, he's legit. Good fucking recipes. He's got a couple breakfast recipes that are yummy. You just got a tag. Like, I don't like honey. I've been able to work with Mike a long time ago. I worked with Mike.
Starting point is 00:45:30 and he was so good so good what do you mean you don't like honey I don't like honey don't know right who doesn't like honey honey? I don't like honey what don't you like about it is too sweet the texture makes me
Starting point is 00:45:45 fucking gag I barely like maple syrup remember I just don't like honey all right though I'm fucking honey I gotta like honey all of it something but they made like assai bowls which I never really had
Starting point is 00:45:58 those are good but they make a thing called the antioxidant. It's like asaid juice, pomegranate juice. It's pretty good. You had a little protein scoop and your tip-top magoo. You're ready to go, you know what I'm saying? You're trying to work it out. No.
Starting point is 00:46:14 What I wanted to say to you was, I'll never forget this. Like, this had to be the first expo. I was really excited, and I go, Joe, let's go on Thursday. And he's like, I'm not going down there. I've got to do a talk. with Goldberg on stage, and it's going to be fucking crazy. So I asked somebody from the U.S. and he'd go, we'll get you a pass, and I went down there.
Starting point is 00:46:38 And I'm not going to say his name. This fighter dog, he was surrounded, and he had a look on his face like he wanted to shoot himself. What? Because he suffered from social anxiety, bro. It happens. Spend all you like in the gym and others eight million people. Yeah, it was too much.
Starting point is 00:46:56 This is why, like, that time I walked around the expo. the first time I go, you know what, man? Do you remember when Rocky was training in the gym? Yeah. And then for two or three, he started going to a casino. Yeah, to train? Yeah. And the old man quit.
Starting point is 00:47:14 Something happened. Didn't the old man? Yeah. Mickey got pissed off. Yeah, he didn't want to train him for his fight against. That's what it feels like. Oh. Like when they take you to those things, you know what?
Starting point is 00:47:25 They should really ask the fighters. Are you into this? are you into throwing sidekicks in public and talking to 200 people afterward? Or they should give them classes or on how to deal with it. Well, it seems like from what I've seen recently that if you want to be a star, unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:47:44 it's kind of like having social media. You probably, if we had a choice, we might not have it or be on it as much. But to be a star in the UFC, you kind of have to be in front of the TV cameras. Yeah, one thing is huge about the UFC. The fans get. to interact with them.
Starting point is 00:48:01 You know, no other sport, I think, has more interaction with the athletes than UFC, you know? You got to imagine, think of a world where I could tweet Julia Serving today. I could tweet you. I could tweet, name him. I could tweet Anderson Silva. He won't get back to me, but if I keep tweeting him eventually, he'll get back to me one day. He'll notice that I'm the real deal. I'm his fan.
Starting point is 00:48:30 You have this contact now with people that you never had contact with before. Right. In your life, even if you say things on their page or whatever. Absolutely. So it's a different world. When I was growing up, there's no contact. They didn't have that anymore. You had a fucking poster of Kevin Gastelman on my wall.
Starting point is 00:48:46 That's it. Kevin Gastelman didn't go to McDonald's and shake hands on Saturday the first. You know what I'm saying? Like, that didn't fucking happen. Like, unless I bumped into you at the hotel or something. something like that. You know it's funny the first time, first couple times I saw you fight.
Starting point is 00:49:04 I was in the middle of reading the Roberto Durant story. Okay. I think you remember telling me. They turned it into a fucking movie and the movie sucked dick because it was 20 years too late. Nobody knows what Roberto Durant is. But during his time, and you were
Starting point is 00:49:21 obviously, you've seen him. Yeah. You've seen him throw beatings on people on YouTube. The one fight where he just fell. He was vicious. He was vicious. You always reminded me something in your face, the way you bang. And it's funny that that persona for a lap, see, the U.S. Sech really tried for years to open up the Latino door.
Starting point is 00:49:48 And they've succeeded in Mexico. They really have. They've done a great fucking job in Mexico. Oh, yeah. They've done a great job in a lot of good places. But they never have, like, a Mexican guy. to talk fucking shit. You know what I'm like just to talk shit and throw the microphone and speaking Spanish
Starting point is 00:50:05 and bad words and fucking go fucking bananas. I don't know if you've seen Canelo Alvarez? Yes, yes. Well, his recent interview, he was talking smack to Triple G's trainer. You know how he just kind of opens his mouth all the time. He just tested hot though Canela, right? Oh, yeah. He's done, right?
Starting point is 00:50:24 Claim Butro. No, he's got the fights going on still. They said that as soon as he tested. positive. What they say? That they were still going to fight. Yeah. No, no. Nothing has been
Starting point is 00:50:35 sanctioned. What's that? Clambutoral or something like that. Is it a steroid or a pain thing? I don't know what type of steroid or pain thing it is, but I guess it's a PED. It's considered a PED. I'm not sure
Starting point is 00:50:49 what it does. But I guess it's found in a lot of the meat in Mexico. And so, if he's eating tacos out in the middle of camp then he'll probably test if some of that meat is contaminated with that
Starting point is 00:51:05 because they give it to the animals in Mexico to make them grow faster I think or bigger, bigger or faster, one of the two they give him steroids and so a lot of the Mexican fighters and even if you look back I guess a couple
Starting point is 00:51:23 of years ago at the Australian Is that what you're doing? I think the last World Cup The Mexican team had tested for Climbutoral Because of the contaminated meat
Starting point is 00:51:40 It's a steroid Yeah it's a PED I'm not sure what it is It's it thins the blood For more oxygen Oh wow yeah So if you get more oxygen You get more
Starting point is 00:51:53 Just go more And for weight loss maybe I think it says that too So that's so Boxing they don't give a fuck, Jack You can show up with your muterol, Benbuteril, Diana Ball, the cousin
Starting point is 00:52:07 And they'll look at you and they'll go What do you want to do here? Who gives it for? Yeah, I thought that was interesting Because I got the same I got an email from Yosada When I was fighting in China Like be careful of the meat in China
Starting point is 00:52:19 Make sure you go to all these high-end restaurants Instead of going down to the butcher And just getting your meat there or something Really? Because it's contaminated with climbutrol. And athletes have tested positive for for clumbutrol, but no, nothing has been sanctioned against them because they know of the circumstance.
Starting point is 00:52:38 But they got to, they got to do something about it. I feel like, I don't know. The people stuff in the meat? Yeah, maybe. Or the fucking. Because they know it's a problem. Like the Mexico national team had tested positive for it, like I said. this Mexican national soccer team
Starting point is 00:52:58 So every supplement you take You send it to you Sada first You have to send them a list Well I don't ever take supplement Nothing nothing They scared the crap out of me too So that's it You just where you're like
Starting point is 00:53:11 No I'm not taking nothing I'm not even risking it You know you go to these athlete retreats Where they These USADA representatives come in And they talk to you And they just scare the crap out of you You know
Starting point is 00:53:22 They give you a list of all these 800 supplements and you're just looking at it. It's gibberish to me. I don't know what any of these things are. But if I test positive for it, then I'm fucked. You know? So you don't go to GNC, yoked, nothing. You don't do shit.
Starting point is 00:53:42 No. No protein powder. I get a massage once a week. Okay. No, I do protein now. Now that I replace it with a meal or something every now and then. Like I'm like on a weigh protein. Yeah, yeah, organic or something like that.
Starting point is 00:53:58 Yeah, you got to be fucking careful. Yeah, they scare the crap out of you. It's crazy. And the fucking people, like, I didn't know it was that bad. HBO, one of those, did a thing about vitamins. About two years ago, three years ago. But how are easy this to make vitamins? Because there's no regulation on it.
Starting point is 00:54:17 They showed these. There's none. Somebody showed G.N.C. What the fuck is that? NGC. National Geographic. National Geographic has those late-night shows about fucking drug dealers, drugs, ink, and all those.
Starting point is 00:54:31 It was one of those. There's no regulation for it. No regulation. They hire fucking, they go down, they hire fucking 10 people, they bring them into a fucking thing to fill pills all day. And these people take the pills,
Starting point is 00:54:47 put them in boxes, and ship them out. You don't know what the fuck is in it. You have no fucking idea. It's all bullshit. shit half the time. Yeah, you can mix in dirt and shit and put in a pill and sell it and call it
Starting point is 00:55:00 Clembeytrell. And nobody regulates it, you know? And it's scary. It's scary. As a fighter, what's your opinion? Obviously, you don't want to cheat or be accused of cheating, but do you what's your opinion on fighting someone?
Starting point is 00:55:18 What do you still want to fight them if they test it positive? Like, if you were, like, what's your opinion on the people who do that? Does it give you that much of an advantage? I mean, I don't, I have zero idea when it comes to what steroids does to your body. As you can tell, I probably don't do steroids. You know, I'm one of the few athletes. You know, after Usada, more athletes started looking more like me with a little pouch.
Starting point is 00:55:44 You know what I mean? But I don't mind it. If guys are cheating, which I'm sure. I fought guys that were cheating and I beat them, it don't matter to me. Can you imagine you're still getting beat up? That's the thing. Like, if you cheat
Starting point is 00:56:04 and you still get up to them up and that's the other side of it. That's the other side of the fucking coin. That's the other side of it. That would suck. I know there's guys that are using it and there's doctors that they're monitoring the levels. I know it. I don't know who,
Starting point is 00:56:18 but I know it. There's out there. There's people doing steroids, monitoring their levels to where they don't go over the limit, you know. And they're good at it. They're good at getting away with it. But they won't for a long time. They'll get popped eventually.
Starting point is 00:56:33 And it sucks. And it sucks to know that. The odds are always against you. And it sucks to know that. Especially when you... Well, look at the Russians. Look at the, that. They were out of the Olympics, the winter Olympics
Starting point is 00:56:45 because everybody was doing something. Something. They've been doing it since they were 10, though. I guess there was, I don't know who told me. Somebody, there was a doctor that had been juicing them all. This is what I heard. I'm not 100% accurate. This is what they told me.
Starting point is 00:57:01 This doctor had the secret formula for juicing, for performance enhancing drugs to where you don't fail. And he had all these Olympians, juicing, and then he had all these athletes just juicing. And he knew how to do it perfectly to the tea. He knows the science. And he went out. He went out in public and said it all.
Starting point is 00:57:26 And I guess now there's a hit on this guy because now that's the reason they were out of the Olympics. I don't know. Like that, like, that's kind of a crazy situation to him. Like, that would be the same thing like the UFC. And just to be like the, like, they're not doing this, but it'd be like the UFC saying you have to take steroids. Like, here's your steroids. Right. We want it.
Starting point is 00:57:48 We want exciting fights. Right. Like that. Like the whole national team and all, you know, yeah. Well, Russia's been doing it, pro. They've been doing it since Jesus left Chicago. It's no... The Russians are coming.
Starting point is 00:57:59 The Russians are coming. There's no disrespect to nobody or nothing. For sure. They just, this is what they've been, been good at for years. So I guess this doctor went out, went out in public and said how he, how he was cheating all these years. And now that's the reason they were outed. And now there's a hit on this guy. I think he's in the United States.
Starting point is 00:58:19 Look at the 60 minute they did on the doctor that had the base. Baseball player. Did you ever watch that interview? No. What's Alex Hernandez? Rodriguez. Alex Rodriguez. Okay.
Starting point is 00:58:32 I remember the player. Did you see the strategy they had? No. I mean, he had this. I mean, when you're making Alex Rodriguez money, you're my doctor. Baseball players are overpaid. Calvin, like, I don't care of a fuck about your practice. Like, it's over.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Tell those old ladies, manana. I don't give a fuck. Send them a. Coast Guard, you and me from now on. And the guy was just his private doctor. Wow. And Kelvin, they had it to a science. Yeah, I'm sure.
Starting point is 00:59:02 Bro, they had it to such a science that he made gummy bears for him that he would give him in the sixth inning. Edibles. Edibles. Bro, edible fucking testosterone. Oh, wow. I believe it. You know, you got to look it up. You got to, tonight when you go home and you can't sleep, go 60 minutes, Alex Rodriguez is a doctor.
Starting point is 00:59:23 And he's talking about, he would give him these gummy bears in the sixth inning. And that's why in the eighth inning he would always his own runs. Because he would get that second urge, surge towards the end. He had him programmed. Crazy. And even if he tested him after the baseball game, he would always test clean. It was crazy. They had it to a sign.
Starting point is 00:59:49 But when you're paying, what I'm saying, Kelvin, this is all you're going to. do your job is to make sure I'm clean but I need to fucking be dirty and fuck he's monitoring those levels I need to look like Konseko but nobody
Starting point is 01:00:04 you fucking nobody you have to know everything about everything about everything call your cousin call the Chinese dude I don't give who you got a call yeah yeah you got the money yeah this guy you know but
Starting point is 01:00:18 UFC I mean steroids are expensive enough I mean all that shit I'm not sure. Bro, all that shit has gone off the fucking roof. That's such a big trade. I'm sure. Science has gone so far with it.
Starting point is 01:00:33 I'm sure. Yeah, bro. Why don't we have a cure for cancer? What are they of all this? Listen, bro. I had a buddy in 98. Maybe it's out there. He died in 99.
Starting point is 01:00:42 And I had breakfast in him a couple months before he died. And he was a bodybuilder. And he was telling me that he paid for two treatments. 10,000 apiece. or they take the juice out of a dead cadaver sponge What? You know, this is just... Stem cells.
Starting point is 01:01:00 This is... They may stepsell it? I don't fucking know. They take the powder and then they drink it. 10,000, bro. He looked like he had a two by four. Chest. You think I'm kidding, bro.
Starting point is 01:01:15 I love this kid. As crazy and he's drugged out as he was, Kelvin. He made him. sure I went to my gigs and I got there on time you know this is who's it? He's dead now. This kid here
Starting point is 01:01:31 before he died he was like a fucking tremendous bodybuilder but he was a bodybuilder shooting snorting. Okay yeah he's pretty smoking cheese yeah no no this was a monster of a man monster but part like one time he was telling me like breakfast he goes
Starting point is 01:01:48 nah they can't catch me I got this new shit you go over to the Bronx and it's the cadaver of the spine and you go to the brunt and I'm like what the fuck are you talking about he's like yeah it's better than steroids
Starting point is 01:02:03 his chest looked I remember at breakfast I was looking at him and he was off-season okay so he was boken up and shit like that Kelvin he had three inches of muscle that was perfect it looked like a board it looked like somebody had opened up his chest
Starting point is 01:02:21 and put boards in it. Wow. So they got everything out there. I'm sure. I'm sure. Fucking crazy. Well, listen, brother, I'm happy that you took the time. We've been going back and forth for months.

Starting point is 01:05:15 Yeah, exactly. To see if this shit's working. You know, if you want to work on something, if you want to throw something you've worked on during the week, throw it in practice. Good for you, man. Yeah, no, I love it. I love my time out here in SoCal.
Starting point is 01:05:29 I've been to a lot of places before. Where else did you? I was in San Diego before that, out of an alliance. And then before that, well, I was kind of traveling around, going to the lab. I was going to the lab with Benson Henderson. I was going with Ryan Bader and C.B. He's all the way over at Power, M.A. in Arizona. And I went to Montreal with Farazah Hobby and George St. Pier to check them out back in the day.
Starting point is 01:05:58 Yeah, I just kind of been around, but I found like SoCal, Ralph El Cordero. That's what works for me. Yeah. Well, brother, I wish you all the luck in the world.

Starting point is 01:06:20 When you go to Weight Watchers, bro, they have, they have, like, points. The old Weight Watchers, when I first joined, they had points, and they were so racist. They had a broken down to races, okay? So they had, like, Cuban food, you know, 26 points, Cuban sandwich. 26 points. You get 40 for the day, and a Cuban sandwich is 26 points. When you turn to Mexican food, they had a skull and two fucking bones. Because it is just...
Starting point is 01:06:50 Bro, Mexican food fucking kills you. Bro. We both know it. When I lived in Colorado, I had to ride a bike, hit the bag, and swim three times a week. Because if not, those green chili burritos, we just went back and he got a fucking one of those green chili. Mexican burgers and a tortilla smothered with cheese with beans and rice and lettuce on. Ideas meal away. It was fucking.
