You're listening to Giraffe King's Network. This is the Don Levertor Show with this two-gots podcast. Stop complimenting the man. There will be no countdown. He is sucking up to this menace of a human being who Dana White says Doesn't want to fight doesn't want to fight this man. Look at this man. Do you know this man's story? What he comes from look at him physically right now that that man doesn't want to fight

You know what you're doing with this camera angle Francis you do know Francis. You're doing what are you trying to hit the elastic bands before this interview Your arms are thighs Francis push ups Thank you, but I wanted to talk to you about what is happening with the business of Fighting because I admire you for a number of different reasons one of them though is it seems like you're fighting for things that are more important than just fighting. Your story is crazy. It's amazing. You were homeless. You had to fight your way into the position to be the heavyweight champion of the world in combat sports. And then Dana White wanted to lock you down in a contract that you didn't think was free enough. So explain to me the business of what you're doing as you join the professional fighters league. And you're out here you join the professional fighters league and you're out here trying to get health insurance

and you're out here trying to make sure that every fighter gets paid two million dollars because risking your body is a very hard thing and your bodies are valuable. Well yeah, I'm not trying to make every fighter get two million dollar because it's not possible. I wish it was possible. That would be great for everyone. But for the business standpoint, everything is doing good.

Everything is going well. You know, the past three years being a battle, but as you know, it's just the story of my life. My whole life itself has always been a battle. So not in you, not in a strange, but it's going well. I have, I mean, the good position now. I have to deal with this contract to get free for in three years. I have to deal with this contract. Finally, get free and get a good contract from a

PFF that I'm happy with. A contract that also gave me opportunity, give opportunity in Africa to my people. So I'm very excited about that. Can you explain to me when Dana White says what he says,

though, about you not wanting to fight that they offered the kitchen sink for you to fight steep A and john jones when he is saying that your reaction to that is what? Well my reaction is that is we all know how Dana like to control a narrative when he was me asking for john john and there was like, John John is scared. John John should move down to 185. And every meeting, they're like, oh, John John doesn't want to fight. He just wants to stay there, should gone.

So he won a big payday. And every time that they were referring to John John, he was like, oh, he doesn't want to fight you. He wants to stay there, should gone, lift weight, and, you know, he just won a big payday so what we are scared about is that Jun-john come out here fight and for some reason if he wins and decide oh I'm not fighting again I'm the greatest heavyweight of all the time so he's the narrative and we all know that but as I said I'm still down for that fight. That can

forget it out. It's easy now. So we will see we scare now. You could do it now and I wouldn't blame John Jones if he did not want to fight you. Why would he want to? I mean, I understand John Jones pound for pound is the best we have ever seen. But him is a heavyweight fighting you, what you're saying, because Dana has consistently said, I don't want the freak show fights. And Tyson Fury is over here in one corner saying that, you know, I'd be happy to leave a room with John Jones, see who can emerge from a room. As Dana White says, we don't do freak show fights.

We don't do Joshua against in Ghana. Give me. Give me fight. That's what they said. gimmick fights. We don't do them, but you're here to say, no, we've got our personal brands now. The gimmick fights are worth the money

that Dana was getting. You want that money? Yeah, and now I even want to fight. I even want the Junjun fight. As I said, I want the Junjun fights. Now they want, now they want Tyson Fury in the U.S. to fight the Jones. But you're laughing because you're laughing

because you want to create a business outside where if you fight John Jones, you get the money. Not, not Dana White, correct? Well, yeah, if I fight Jones, I think they should figure that with the PFA, but I'm getting paid by the PFF So he doesn't have to worry about that Francis have other fighters talk to you about the Move that you made and try to pick your brain about how they can do the same thing

You know, he's very tough for for fighter to do that as I said he's he was a three years process and for fighter to do that. As I said, it was a three years process and a completely bad bad on myself. And at the beginning, you know, you didn't know, I didn't know that I'm going to get here, but I just decided not to give up, you know, to hold, to hold up my ground. But yes, other fighters, a lot of them, by the way, they can speak out, but they are very happy, I bought it, and they wish to be in my position. Francis, did you see what was happening with Jake Paul and say to yourself, wait a minute, my brand is more valuable outside of here than it is with all the restrictions in this contract? Excuse me.

What's happening with Jake Paul, where are creating pay-per-views They keep more of the money Floyd Mayweather. They own their own business Did you see what happened with Jake Paul and say to yourself? I might be more valuable outside this octagon It might take three years of fighting and I'm guessing that Dana Weiss is not gonna let John Jones out of his contract because they're so Restrictive because he doesn't want you guys to have the money individually. Did you see what happened with Jake Paul and take a cue from the value of a fighter outside of the UFC? No, because from the moment that we started this, I wanted to go for the agent, Jake Paul wasn't around. He came after, he wasn't around.

a jacquo was in a round. He came after, he wasn't around. But yes, as you're referring to Floyd, yes, that was something that you think about that I thought about. But not really like to go promote myself, but like you should bet on yourself, you know. so that was the example that I look up to, kind of. Francis, help me with something here because I want to know how hard was it for three years to get out of the contract. How many lies were told? Dana White controlling narrative is one thing in business. What was the dirtiest stuff you were experiencing

as you were just asking for? Can I have my freedom, please? What I was asking at first was just like, I'm not having fights because I had a, I had a fight contract and I wanted to fulfill that contract. But they wouldn't allow me things that wasn't going to sign another contract because they knew that if I fulfill that contract, I'm automatically free. And then they Helaid, kakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakakak I knew that I couldn't make it living out of it. I have to come back and accept those contracts. And that was after the junior dose and dose fight who was in June 2019. So then he was almost one year after that I have to fight.

So I just resisted to that. And that was very hard. One of the things that was hard about it as well was the pressure that was putting on you. Before I decided to speak up about this, I realized that if I just stayed there and not speak up, not only they are going to change the narrative, but I will not take the pressure on me.

I'm just me and they are them, they are massive. And I couldn't fight that. And I started to see how to promote even the enter room title. But I say, I don't want to fight. I'm like, these people are kidding me. I think that's when I decided to start to speak up about it. Francis, it's offensive. Francis, it's offensive.

He's got you under contract. You don't want to fight for a little bit of money. And then then he's saying you don't want to fight when all you want to do Is give me the aid fights as fast as I can get him so I can get out of this contract and get my own money Exactly that's what I didn't ask for more money because by the way The the new contract was more money, but I was like I don't want more money Just give me the fight that I can fulfill my contract, my obligation, and be free. Therefore, I can bring negotiate as a free man.

Like, I can be locked here and negotiate. I'm not negotiating. You are just telling me what I will get, right? But, either way, it's my right. You know, we have a eight-fight here. Uh, and then I'm here asking for a fight to deliver. And they're very happy to go out there all the time, say, Haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, haltu, we give those five to three five a year. I'm like, this guy is joking, right? I'm here. I've been here for five, six months asking for five because I need money. I need to fulfill the contract. I need to make a living. I make a living out of it. My contract was exclusive. So I didn't have any other

revenue, you know, but they were holding me captive into that and then trying to act like, Oh, now they're trying to act like I want more money. I didn't want more money. If it was about more money, I would have signed a contract because there was more money into those contracts and more and more and more by the time I was getting to the end. Francis, we've got to get you out because you've got other things to do. I hope to talk to you about this at more length because what happened to you was really unfair

and your brave and your apioneer as well and what it is that you're doing in fighting for the rights of fighters. When you say a few pennies though, I know you got to get out, a few pennies. It was more than a few pennies, but it wasn't what you were worth. What was the, what were the dollar amounts we're talking about there?

hundred hundred twenty. Oh, no Hundred or 120 grand to fight as a as a main card. Oh, no Oh, come on man. Really? Oh, man that bad. Okay, Francis. We'll talk more at another time People need to know this story. What happened with you was wrong and you did a brave thing. Thank you, sir. Thank you very much.

Have a good day, guys. You, too. Get punched in the face for 120. What? Hola, alguien me escucha. Necesito ayuda. Estoy en Barcelona. Y las criaturas están por todas partes.

Así que... ¡Araíz! ¡Bluque, de la aíz! Escuchéis lo que escuchéis. Tapados los ojos. And the creatures are everywhere. If you look at the blue, you see. Listen to what you hear, cover your eyes. The street we carry all the dirt, but the most terrifying is not to know what to trust. Look at the people who ask you to look at it.

I know you want to follow the path. Estreno en Netflix el 14 de julio. Te atreves a ver. We like to call this one a chorus of Owen Wilson. Ready? Stugats. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. This is the Don Levatar show with the Stugats. I'm worried about what's happening around here for a variety of different reasons. Roy smells like the intoxicants of winning. He's putting his feet up on things. Very relaxed. Hasn't slept very much.

Chris Cody, I think, is wearing pants again. I'm not totally sure. Mike Ryan is still wearing smells like last night and basically a month-long celebration. And one of the more worrisome parts, I mean, is having back problems is standing up. But when made insane by Carmelo Anthony talk, stomps all over the room as if his back doesn't hurt at all, gets infuriated and makes terrible point after emotional terrible point What in arguing this is the part I haven't gotten today on that you say you want to talk we let you talk Look how bad your judgment was Mike dragged the floor with you know in a basketball argument. I did I did I

Kick your ass. That's not that's dude. I kicked your I got a text I got a text from Tony who is a real Hooper as everyone knows and this is what Tony said to me after the after the little titha tith. He said nerd non-hooper take from Mike on mellow crazy. You love your ally there. Yeah. I do. I want to go to the Egyptian side. Wi-Fi. I don't want to go to my basketball front office expert. Let's get text from Tony who's not here. Let's get his thoughts on All right, you're easier your goose was cooked real hoopers now all your points were like you're like, oh Good my points were like he was good, but he's not one of the all-time greats like we make him out to be He's like a dear to your three guy. He's not Carmella and not LeBron. No, no, you changed my point

I said he's not he's not Kauai. I said he's like Paul George. Why is that a tier one player? Kauai at his peak. I think is a tier one player. You guys are splitting hairs. Not a tier that. No, what I'm saying,

he doesn't even disagree that much. But as I'm saying, I'm saying he's a good player. I'm just saying he's not worth all this. Oh, this uplock. What? He was just an all right player. He wasn't an all right player.

You're right. He was better than all right, but he wasn't an all time great. He wasn't an all player. Alright, he was better than alright, but he wasn't in an all-time great. He wasn't in all-time great. No, he was like maybe number 15 of his generation. And the hoopla that surrounds him. That's pretty good. Yes, it's really good. Name 14. I don't want to do this again. I'm not doing it. We're doing it. That's what you guys. I made 14 players. I think I named pretty solid con.

I think John Miller. I did bring it back to here But the reason I brought it back to here and this is how bad your argument was I mean the reason I brought it back here is He's probably like Clyde Drexlerish. I agree with you. I mean yeah He's like one of the 75 best players now one of the like like 25 I don't agree with Mike Ryan and I find myself citing with his position because he's making a better argument What argument is making your argument is making your argument is Is he just talking he just say words I can do that you want me to say words. I can just say words. Oh Well good good good. Hi Drexer. That's one of the greatest layers of all time. Yeah, he is

So what are you talking about? I'm saying that he's not he what is not the media is made amount to be is what has to meet a month to be someone worth talking about a two-year time we're talking how's he not worth talking about he's not worth talking about like the whole like video and like new york jenny fleeting and i'm like he's getting new york yeah i don't know cuz that's a huge part of this

but outside of jalen brunson to a means point he's like their best nicks player in how long yeah i think because the nicks sucked and they largely sucked because he was there but he was a great player before he ever put on or Yeah, and then and then he couldn't get out of his own way and he got worse He'd never He's saying Kate couldn't get out his own way. Yeah, you're saying because because he's a Dons because Jim Dolan's a done No, no because he liked being a vacuum He liked me in a vacuum and even Kobe at his peak powers found himself out of the playoffs

because he didn't have the right answer out of it. He thought he could all do it himself. When was he out of his peak powers in other playoffs? No, you know what, when, when, when, when, you know exactly what he did. He said Kobe at his peak powers was out of the playoffs. When was that? Like, oh, no, I'm sorry, he was 18, right? 18 that lost to your Phoenix sons. Yes, okay, and like lost pretty

Quickly, yes, yes, you know why you know why? Because we were a better Team yeah again with the F4 guess what? That's what this is not where we're at today You've got a bad back and the thing that you're not understanding because you're emotional about all this stuff as you mock them for Marcus Altra just a really good player. It's not an insult to... It is an insult to compare to the Marcus Alderidge.

Why? Well, if you look at the stats, it is. It's a much better player than come out. Well, the stats on the back of your argument up, they back mine out. So what are you gonna do with that? What are you talking about? The Marcus Alderidge literally lives his career. He's Joe Johnson. Playing with better players.

Joe Johnson was a great player, wasn't he? The Marcus Alderidge played with better players. Joe Johnson was a great player, wasn't he? Joe Johnson was a great player. Well, no Mark is all just play with better players Joe Johnson was a great player wasn't he Joe Johnson was a was a very good player. Yeah, okay. That's what Carmelo I know he's not out. No, he's not all right. No, he's not all right Uh, if we may continue here, please because you keep getting emotional about this twice now. No, you haven't you just you're just saying That's your robb Rendomore right now. This is close. This is close. It's not a sweep Same thing you're robb Brenda more right now Maddie now you could Chuck he's just living off his father's name what yeah, he's just living off his father's name

Maybe Brady could Chuck No, I'm just saying it like this is just saying words. You're a sad man. You're a sad man. He's not said the kid you are a see not Mike Madonna. He is Mike He's not going to sit the kid up in this house. He's not Wayne Greskey. He's not a Mexican. I could say names to Mike I could say names to Roy's vibe. He's not Lemieux Roy. Your feet have gotten higher on the chair You are now upside down. He hasn't slept very much the thing that's happening around here that's all that i know man what the means hockey opinions are not something i want to get out of your and i think i don't have a city kid

i've got your our basketball expert allegedly but the thing that you're not noticing about the fandom of that room today excited about making it Further than that hockey team has made it in 30 years or the same place But last time they got swept they got as far as we've ever made it technically because last time the panthers made it and didn't win a game in the final So this is as far as the panthers have ever got we win one game in the final

Best season ever and this is the person who's like the arbiter of what a winner is in winning Huh got it you're looking at a certified winner? Yes, dubs right here, but you never want a game in the Stanley Cup finals Just beat your ass in this debate didn't I didn't yeah, yeah, yeah, that's how I get down You're sure you're sure you put one leg up on it. You're winning You know what you did you know what you did you went and pick Clover's out in the outfield Well, I'm I Smack and fingers everywhere I care so

About your wrong I I care so little about your opinion that I'm disinterested and I'm just gonna go walk I'm just gonna go take a walk. Yeah You're out there be anywhere else than talking with you right now. But I need you for just a second before you go to play the the Brindamore sound just because this is loser coach. It's loser coach at the end of you just got swept. You clearly got swept, but he's gonna say that he didn't get swept.

And here's the funniest part about this sound. He's totally right. Like totally right. That's the first part of this is he's gonna look back and everyone's going to say you got swept and that's not what happened. I lost the game. I'm there. I'm cutting the game. We're in the game. We're in lose four games. We got beat, but it's, you know, we were right there and I just could have went the other way and just look at it in four games the other way. And tonight, you know, the way it ended is tough getting a penalty like that. That's tough, you know, especially what was let go and then you go that's that's gonna that's gonna sting

But I was let go the other team is they played hard But you know, I think we take took a huge steps this year, you know coming this far Like I said, but what we were missing is pretty pretty impressive. Here's what was let go Brent Burns hit Matthew could chuck in the dick in the dick like Rick Flair style while the rough sides were up top the dick and balls He got him in his cock and balls. This guy hit us with I'm in the game. You're right. I'm in it I mean we didn't lose we got beat we didn't lose we got beat we we we we won for he's absolutely right by the way Yeah, this is the thing that's confusing 100% what happens when the guy is clearly a fool in a loser, but also right? Yeah, I'm in the game I'm in the game the biggest lead in the series was two calls that's evaporator like that

That's correct because play of hockey all the games are close Except the ones Vegas is playing. We're an a-t. See biggest is play we're an a-t-c shit gay vincen's out tonight oh oh no i'm kind of scared no no

this basketball expert told me that they got no margin for her so i should be scared but i the heat of war in black tonight you know what it means you know no they should be wearing black they've they've won two on the road wearing red why why am i the only person that gets this Chris Cody just admitted to being afraid did you hear that he's afraid that he'd earn eight point dog again yeah greenie said that uh... after this series is over there's gonna be one the record is gonna be one and one

fifty teams that have been down three own basketball series the Celtics he said that yeah greenie as you know huge basketball expert well he doesn't know anything he hasn't talked to anybody but he doesn't have a set in you guys just skipping past Chris Cody admitting out loud to fear of the Boston he's out under the desk and I under the desk pants and we're and we're an eight seed that's I mean every word without gapence and we got to get this one tonight please it becomes poopy poopy level scary that's what everyone says we needs to be We got a margin for you know what?

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da with this two guards. with yourself. You think that everyone's not getting annoyed. Oh, he's doing got the seat. So now you don't need any more stimulants in your system. Mike, to the ice caps. This show doesn't need any more of this. It needs less of this. Down the hatch. Mike, I got some on my shirt. You got some on the jersey. You got that's an expensive jersey. That's a disaster, Mike. You can't wash him that.

Mike, that's an expensive jersey, he gets that suck in the doing. It's now ruined. That jersey got sucked off. It's not good. You shouldn't do it that way. You should do it with like club soda and stuff. No, he just told me that's ruined.

Like a cat. Hell yeah. He ruined a good jersey. There, I mean, it's making fun of our entire office is filled with panthered jersey. I've never seen any of these people wear merch before. Never, all of a sudden, everybody's on the bandwagon. A whole bunch of people don't know the color of a blue line.

They just, what did they just hand in? The tight pin. That's tough. I thought it was some other type of stimulant. Another stimulant and injectable. She handed me a pen and I almost snorted it. Yes. OK, Mike, what are we doing with this?

Don't do that, kids. That's bad. The gambling people don't like we do these segments. And I think we've won a couple of these recently. I know one of those heat games we had like three or 14 parlay because we just took all heat stuff. Well, you're about to win again, gambling folks that don't like this because we feel really good about it.

It's a great one. We're gonna win. It's a great one like Wingredskeep. I'll lead us off. We each got a pick. And I will lead us off with heat. All right. I'm gonna take them.

Money like that. Megan says spread. Oh, he's had it there. Oh, that's a good one. No, I'm not taking that money. I'm not taking that money again. So spread I said it Why I thought you believed in the heat I do I believe I also believe that's that's a lot of points So I'm gonna take but I'm also a little upset that we're in black. Oh, yeah Are they were in black to the arena? Do we know they're wearing black? It's a worm black tonight. Oh I mean you you understand,

I might be with this. If you go to and on the road with Red Jersey, you keep the Red Jersey. It's when the Red Jersey is. It's dumb. All right, so in the first two games, they had similar spreads and you were maximum confident, they were gonna go to Boston.

Oh, no, Gabe Vincent, that's an issue. And they told us to not let them get one. Do we let them get two? Nah. Well, this is how you would get to heat six. I believe there was going to be heat and six. Well, I didn't think it would be like this, but you know, we're good. Even if it goes seven, I'll be all right.

So that's my pick today. I think there's too many points. I think in the in this series over the last couple of years, the road team wins and not like six and fifth. The home team is like six and fifth. The home team is like six and 15. Did I get it out? I don't think so.

I think that's ruined. I think it's got it out. I'm dry clean. Do you put it back in? Oh, I'm more in sunglasses. I miss them. Oh, that explains it. What else is in this parlay?

Are you just going around the room with home rhythm? You're gonna go with Roy. All right, we got Vegas at Dallas tonight and why I believe that Vegas will win Joe Bethelski. It's gonna score more than half a point tonight. That's my bet. Captain Murk, huh? I'm jumping on with Mike on the heat. If they, if they cover Jimmy's probably going over 41 total points rebounds and assists Jimmy Butler over 41 and a half rebounds points and assists.

Feel good about it. What are your thoughts here, Ramine? As a alleged basketball expert because... Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me remind you that Thursday Thunder is brought to you by our friends at Draft King Sportsbook. You can follow the parlay on the Draft King Sportsbook app, where you can see a photo of Jess that I'm not at all jealous of her placement on the banner at all. What's happening in house with that because Jessica is taking a bit of a victory lap showing everybody that she has gotten like top billing stuff on Draft King's Draft Channel and does have like five shows under Network. A mean has some sort of nebulous future plan

with Metal Arc and draft Kings. He's not featured on the banner. I'm not, but you know what? I kind of like it that way. We're for the people. We're not for like all the show and the glitz and the glamour. Look at me and like, no, no. You've got to come find us.

You got to go through and say passwords. You remember Bloodsport, the Kumite? That's the kind of show we're putting together. I love how you're standing because your back hurts, but the way you're standing doesn't look comfortable at all. This is the only thing. You need a higher table. One thing I've noticed is you do have some definition in your arms. You look, if you lost some weight, you do look better.

I have. You look better. That wire standing on that. Iron temple, man. That's why I'm hurt. You look good. I tried. I look good. You look good. Thank you guys. I appreciate you catching up on I had a temple, man. That's why I'm hurt. You look good. I tried. I look good. Thank you guys.

I appreciate you catching up on how it is that you look. But dang those are your temple and he doesn't look good. So what's your secret? No, it's not worshiping hard enough. Maybe some people want it more, Dan. That's how it works. Well, let's go back for a second. Because Mike was, I can only say he was

awgling Francis and Ghanu. He made, and Francis and Ghanu a bit uncomfortable objectifying how large his arms are, just how generally good he looked. I don't know if those numbers have been out there before. I had no idea that what in Ghanu was getting, in the contract where he was getting stuck, I was on about 100,000, 120,000 a fight. That's, that's, that's given what his value is. And then you're standing up.

Can you give Dan a pat on the back? It seems like he's looking for one. Dan's like, how about that question? About that me. That got that good. Good question. Yeah, good job, Dan. You guys did the MMA nerds will point out.

He's probably said it like a million times. Did you guys hear this answer that I got out of France? You're how I drew this incredible answer. I really didn't mean it. I was a funny comment. I'm going to high-convers're how I drew this incredible. I really didn't mean I was A funny conversation I'm so sorry I didn't mean that I'm the one that drew him out I was You did man. Yeah, you did you that like you do a charge It'd be great if it's just everywhere I have a feeling it might be because we're not in tune with that world barbecue Walters. Yeah, I don't know text Sony find out

I love that I need to do that show barbecue Walters where we combine me just cooking slovenly getting things on my shirt and having to do it I don't know how to cook. Oakville Winfrey. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, me, why don't you come back here with us? Yeah.

That's all back here. Yeah. All right. It's gonna be funer, it is. We're gonna get along. Yeah, get a panther jersey too. Yeah. Get a panther jersey.

Is Oakville unhealthy? I think Oakville is the best. No, it goes with unhealthy things. Get a panther, Jersey. Come on. Yeah, there's plenty hanging around. Let me circle back around to the annoyance of the audience on heat Celtics tonight because the Celtics are a giant favorite. Oh, man, if the heat went tonight. If you thought today was bad, if you thought this month was bad, you've got no idea what's coming your way.

I'm warning you. Oh wait, I don't want to show you my eyes. It's incriminating. It's just like Kachuck said, like it's so fun for them to come to the ring right now. This is so fun to come to work right now. Like, this is the best weeks of our lives right now boys. It doesn't get better than this. What's your luck up? Not that fun because I asked everybody if they wanted to work Monday and. Like this is the best weeks of our lives right now boys. It doesn't get better than this. What's your luck? Not that fun because I asked everybody if they wanted to work Monday and everyone said no. It's Memorial Day. What are you? David Samson walks

in floats like a Vegas carrot and all of a sudden we're going to work on Memorial Day get out of here. You know what? I didn't do it for a broad team. Yeah. Yeah. It's awkward when there's two people back here. You have a lot of room, especially when one of them isn't wearing any pants. That's correct. Yeah, I'm going to buckle this pants. I don't need this. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, anyone want to explain this to the audio audience? No, yeah, okay. I will explain to the audio audience.

Mina Lassen took his pants off his weeners out. Yep. We're just gonna dance for the next few minutes. Yeah. I mean, it's just a time. The Florida Panthers has an 8C made it to the Stanley Cup finals. And everybody in this back room

has been a Panther fan their entire life. Goddamn right. Goddamn right. The winners baby. I took a pill with me and Vibro with a. I've told you that. Don't look into his past. You're not going to like your ally. I've told you guys that beyond the surprise being the greatest thing, also one of the greatest

things is Boston Tears. Oh yeah. So the Panther run started with knocking out the best regular season hockey team ever, the Boston Bruins. This run, this month of Mike has been snorting sports and intoxicated in a way this obnoxious and unpleasant. And to Vegas now and now headed toward the Stanley Cup finals in Vegas as complete pollution. I might die. Uh, yes, I am rooting for this series to go seven games between say you're rooting for him to die.

They heat and the Celtics. Well, he would. Why are you rooting for that? You're in a white shirt. I'm telling you why. I'm telling you why I've you guys don't understand how much fun the fear is this run It man a sweep was pretty damn fun. It's been too easy. It's been too easy Rob breathable or told us it could have gone either way the heap fan has not the heap fan

I Chris go do you just pip squaw you just peeped you squeaked I'm scared of them Be scared three three game. Be scared fourth quarter. Hey, is Tatum what we think he is or not? Because we're doing this quarter by quarter now. Hellfares kind of fun too though. Shout out to Joe Missoula. Jimmy Butler, when we're telling the stories to our kids about what people are,

Jimmy Butler has now written his legacy no matter what happens from here, but Tatum hasn't yet. And when you talk about 10 years from now, 20 years from now, hey, you remember when Celtic fans, if they win three more games, we'll say, Hey, remember game six, one for 14 and then he made three threes. And then look what he did in game seven. It was 50 points and he knocked off and beat and then he knocked off Jimmy Butler and then he knocked off yo-kid. Bobrovsky's stopping that break away in game five, which could have had the Panthers eliminated seconds before overtime.

Now we're living the history right now with what these stories end up becoming years from now. Yes, they become mythology. What Matthew could Chuck did in that series against Carolina in particular. Is this the greatest year in sports Florida? South Florida sports. Yeah, absolutely. And Dolphin season hasn't even started yet.

It's incredible. Marlins of 180 and out of 12 as well. And the hurricanes could find themselves in Omaha. I mean, we were for 20 years disguised, disguised in plain view as a local show that was a national show. We didn't have shit to talk about. We always lost everybody loses for 20 years of generation of losers in South Florida, except for the heat who give us this much winning dolphins, no playoff victories,

panthers, no playoff victories, Marlins. They win the title, but it was when we got here. It was a million years ago. They've sucked since then My amine never feels like this look at us We're just flopping around back there. Yeah Yeah, yeah, the heat carried the whole region on its back kind of like I've been carrying this show and all the other shows on my back Because I'm not to leave here and go record another show because that's all I do around here I just bounce around and record shows, but does anyone say thank you? I mean, does anyone say

hey I mean you're doing a great job. No, it's just all this talk about hey you got mopped across the floor. Hey Wilmanso really killed you not all you in there. Hey, and now Royce Feeder even higher. Yep. higher. Yep. Bye bye. I want to say God. 21. There by the I. L. I.
