Guys, we're here at the Sportsman's Cove Lodge. We're in Alaska. We're in Alaska. The water is, don't kid yourself, right behind us the water is super serene, but do you understand that orcas have come right up to the dock? That's how wild it is. How many whales did we see today? Two.

See, I would say... See... One or two. No, because it was six. It was six. It was six. It went like this. Hello! No because it was six. It was six. You were going like this. Hello! No, it was six.

We saw Wills breaching. No, we did. We saw him doing it and flipping around. Literally jumping in the air flipping. That was pretty cool. Don't say two. Even if it's true, you say six. It's ruining your story.

Yeah, it's six. Hey, let's be honest. Also, if our eyes look heavy We're not the biggest outdoorsmen. We're not we're not like like our tour guide. That's right We're not that's a best. There's a bear right there. See the bear right there. See that bear right there So on the podcast we're looking at a bear right out there. That's a bear. You see the bear guys where? Straight out there. Okay, you'll see it move. You see there's a brown little thing right there where all those little trees are? Watch, it'll move.

That's a bear. See it? I see it. Yeah. So we're looking at a bear right now as we're doing the podcast way out there. That's a bear. We've seen, that's the second bear we've seen. We've had deer come up to the lodge.

Yep. Deer, bear, it's crazy. So we're really in the wild, man. It's awesome. In the wild. We had a blast. We're not really in the wild, man, it's awesome. We're in the wild. We had a blast. We're not exactly like Steve Rinella or Cam Haynes, like our eyes are heavy. Yeah.

We woke up at six Alaska time, which is five Pacific time. That's correct. And you go straight to the boat. We woke up at five, I woke up at 430 Alaska time, which is 530. Yes. Yeah.

But either way, it's just a long day. Yeah. Because you hit the boat about 630 a.m. and when they say you're fishing all day you're not lying. You're fishing all day. You're fishing all day. Yeah we fished for halibut and you caught an 80 pound halibut. I got an award for it. And you won the award for the biggest halibut. 75 pound club. And it wasn't coming up easy. You were cranking. The pole broke. The pole broke. The fishing pole snapped off. And I feel like all bullshits aside I deserve the award because the pole broke and I went I got it and I caught it. Nope you were like you want me to do it and I look like you have two fingers on it. I did hold it like that.

Yeah. Even that wasn't very. Yeah because you know. It's not very like manly. No. When you did that. And I feel like I got too much sun so I'm a little tired and I overate at dinner. The efficiency is just, it's a lot of energy, right? And reeling those big boys in, because we had two biggies. Yes. Now Chin, Chin's got the touch. Chin, and Tiger has the touch. Tiger?

My son got the most fish out of any of us. That's actually a true story. Your eight-year-old son caught more fish than anyone else. I didn't catch any salmon, Lex caught salmon, Lex got an award. I caught one salmon and didn't know I had it on the reel. I just saw one jump out of the water. Reel!

I was like, oh, that's mine. So that was it. Yeah, Tiger caught 10 legit fish. I could, when I say I didn't get a bite on salmon, I didn't get a bite. Fishing, I think that why this is so cool, because you're catching actually big fish. But when you don't catch, like salmon,

notice I went inside, daddy went inside. I shut it down. You have a shelf life. I shut it down. Your back started to hurt. I have a pulled muscle in the back. And then, let's face it, it got a little wavy, little wavy, so we were doing this a lot.

And then you just got, look, you got what's called bored. No, I didn't get bored I just the back and there's I'm too big there's no where to sit he's like oh sit on this plastic container okay well it's an even more nightmare for my back yeah I'm gonna go inside and watch my kid yeah so you went inside the cat yeah just watching your son get excited was all right he loved it and then by the way the captain gets more excited about fish, catching the fish than anybody.

He's like, get out of my way! Give me the gun! Give me the hook! Give me the gaff! And he's like, he shot that huge flounder right in the head. Or halibut. I guess the thing I didn't know either

is when you catch all the fish, when you bring them on the boat, they're not dead, right? So then you take a mallet is what? You take a club. You take a cudgel. That's called a cudgel. Have you seen videos of seals getting clubbed. Yeah, that's what you got to do. Yeah, you pound its head. And my son like

that too much is a little alarming. Well, because we told him to hit it and keep hitting it harder. He kept hitting it. And then he was like, Oh, okay, let me take my all star muscles here. And then I didn't realize he don't take one hit. And when they when you do hit them, they're dead, but their muscles still twitch. So it was a Charles Manson scene. Yeah, a lot of blood. A lot of blood.

Now the orcas, we also saw a bunch of seals and the orcas come up and they kill the seals and the captain told me that he saw the orca flip a 300 pound seal 50 feet in the air with his tail. Boom! Which they do. They play with them the way I can. We didn't see that. No, we didn't.

I'm just saying that that's telling stories now, right? Well, that happened around. Yeah, we see a National Geographic. Yeah, I guess you're right. Because if we didn't see it, yeah, you right now, you know what you're doing right now? Show me pictures of you at the zoo. Yes, but I, but I saw right. But I did see it breach.

I know you didn't. I didn't, I said, I said orcas. And then I saw a whale tail and it goes back to humpback. Yeah. But if I hadn't seen the tail, I would have said we saw orcas today too. Yeah. Saw a pod of them. Yeah, I saw a pod.

That's the, that's the way. Saw some bulls, some cows. Would you, now would you make it a yearly kind of holiday and come out here every year? I like it out here. I like the people. Yeah, not what I asked Yeah, I mean So I'm not a fisherman, but I would do it. This is you and me and I told likes this too. Like I'm glad I came. It's a homebody. I hate traveling. Yeah, I hate traveling

It's so beautiful. I've been at home, but I'm glad I came. But also it's like not my passion. I get why people love it. If you're gonna fish, this is where you come. 100%. Sportsman's Cove launch. It's insane, I'm terrible at fishing. I caught so many stupid fish. But the thing is, is I got my rocks off on one day.

Yeah. One day I'm good. Yeah, you're, yeah. Cause I get the experience, Alaska. Fishing for you is, you're not a fisherman. Chin's a fisherman. Chin's, it's his dream thing Lex loves fishing, you know, she likes to drink

They give just a reason to drink chin chin can handle chin can drink all the booze and be completely So it seems completely sober question like not at all sloppy. Yeah, it's chin a fisherman or is he a drunk, right? Well now that this gives an excuse to drink a lot of drinks and hang out. Well, he's a good fisherman. And he's an elegant drinker though. What I like about chin is he'll, he'll have a couple of cocktails and you're not going to know it. He's not he's a very he'll carry on a conversation, hang out, relax. He do alcohol makes him feel good. It has a different reaction. I think that's why everyone drinks it. But um, when you start a cup of, I'll have 10 before... Listen, Jin is Korean. He's a man and he can put it down if he wants. But he'll go with beer and then he'll graduate with some drinks. I saw him drink fancy drinks.

He's having a fancy drink right now. Because we caught the two biggest fish, he got my drink, right? Because I'm not drinking, so he got my drink. I see him drink beer today, wine, fancy drink, hard liquor. And he's this, he's very very extra. His liver is going, please. But everything else is perfect. So I'm impressed. And is the hand tattoo enough? I dated, I had a girlfriend who could drink that way. She could drink and you did not know if she was drunk. I can tell though that like drunks have like that clammy skinny fat build because all the calories come from alcohol. Yeah but but chin... She had a tummy? No she was gorgeous. She was gorgeous but she was also 30. But chin doesn't have any um she had a big

old belly and a hairy chest. And a huge yeah. And drinking gives you a big dick. But Chinn doesn't slur his words or anything. He can drink it all. That'd be a problem, yeah. Yeah, that'd be a weird thing. Oh, it gets you ready for extreme events. Well, that's a lot of people. Yeah, it can't be.

They get that fixed there. They just look at you like that. Now, the guests that come here, a lot of people like to just enjoy themselves. They're all sweet people and very nice. Yeah, someone nice. One's a liar. One guy. There's always... One guy's a straight, bona fide liar?

Yeah, there's always a... Because you got to sit at... You don't have to, but you stay in a lodge and stuff. Yeah, and there's a great little saloon. And then there's a little pitfire. Yeah, it's awesome. And everyone's, you know, sitting around telling stories. Everybody's great, and then there's always that one guy who has to one up everybody on the stories.

Like there was a giraffe, and we ended up hitting it with our plane, and the giraffe got spun around. It's weird when it's all adults, and literally you could tell everyone's like, ah, it never happened. Everybody at that- The story was so bad.

No one knew each other, we all were like this. This story's a lie. And you went, hey, you're not very social. I went we all were like this. This story is a lie. And you went, hey you're not very social. I went, nah man. You clam right up. I just don't have time for it. Me, I like to study that.

Oh not me, I get out. I go deep and I'll start asking questions. I want more of it. I want to give them rope. It's the best. You'll just be like, oh I'm out. Check please. Yeah, I'm not gonna entertain it even now.

Yeah, you start looking up at the sky actually. I get out, I get out, man. But it is very serene here. We slept like a couple babies last night. I'm gonna sleep so hard tonight because Mark has a muscle relaxer for me and I have that issue with my back, dude. Your boy is gonna sleep so hard.

What do you got, Percocet or something like that? No, man, we don't know. No, it's a muscle relaxer. Muscle relaxer. Percocet's not like that? Nah, man, we don't know. It's a muscle relaxer. Percocet's not a muscle relaxer. It'll dilate your sphincter, too. Yeah. Yeah, just keep it real, that'll be all relaxed, too. So, do you sleep on your tummy?

No, man, don't get in my room, because there's no locks on the door. There's no locks, bro. Here's another interesting fact for you kids watching, is so these lodges with the fishing stuff, they're only open three months out of the year. The rest of the year they're shut down. Really?

Interesting business plan. That is. Do you know that they have something called hole talks? Who does? Like boat talks for your hole. Yeah, well I saw a G-A-Y guy talk. I think your algorithm's different than mine, homeboy. Right?

That is an interesting, that's a fair thing to say. Why would I know that? Yeah, it's weird. My algorithm's all cars. It's all cars. It's all cars and fighting. Yeah. Let's take a little break here. Yeah.

you know the plane and the opening scene of that and chin will bring it up maybe in post When that scene the the ship that they fly around on that lands on the water. Yeah, that's what we took to get here Yeah, and Brian thinks he's an experienced like hunter-fisherman goes dude. You're going on where the air must it's so loud I went wow really and I went now. Let's hear how loud it was when I say it wasn't loud. It was like a car. Yeah, maybe a loud car. It was so funny too. My lightning is louder than that. That's because the last time I was in Alaska, we took a plane it was made in 1955. And it was so

loud. And then this was a modern plane, seaplane and it wasn't that loud. It was the funnest thing for me on this trip is Lex is an experienced hunter, like hunting African shit. And then our guide, right, he's killed bears. Oh yeah. And I was like, you know, I caught whatever. I caught an 80 pound halibut and I was like, it's the biggest one you ever caught.

And he's like, no, I caught a 300 one. Yeah. And he showed me the video. 321 pound. 322 pound. I thought it was Photoshopped. So we were talking about experienced hunters and then you just can't help it.

It's like if you're around fighters, you tell fight stories. When you're around hunters, you tell hunting stories. You gotta get in there. And you know what I like? You gotta get in there. It's called getting your foot in the door. I like that you like to get in there.

You know what I like? When they don't let you in. Cause at dinner, you're like, oh, would that thing would use a 22? No, no, no. They went like this. They went like this. No, no, he said, he said,

I got attacked by the sparer and it, it bit my hand and then it spun around but my backpack saved me and then it came over me and I turned around and I had the gun here at 45 and I unloaded it, just unloaded the whole thing. I go, did you kill it? He goes, yeah. And I said, yeah, I'm not going into bear country without a 45 strapped right to my chest so I can just be right here. No one paid attention?

And he went like this, he turned like that and you... Because I turned to you like this. Like, the first time I ever thought about it. Like I've never thought in my life, I'm going to go to Bear Country and have a 45 here. But now that I heard that story, now I'm never going there without a 45. And somehow the holster's got to be here. Yeah, up on your chest. Not here, but up on my chest so I can be like, ah, no! No, you... Doosh, doos, doos, as it comes over me. Goose, goose, goose, goose, goose.

No, you got a lot of stories. You'll be able to use regurgitate like your hunter around Steve Rinella and stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I always add a little, and if I don't have a story, I'll steal one from someone. And so did that guy up there. The shooting story was terrible. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So. Yeah. So now you flew to Alaska. We took three planes here. We took the rescue rangers plane here, the duck tails plane here. And then you're, I'm going to fly back to LA, right? And daddy's flying back to LA.

And then you're going to fly to Vegas for UFC 303 International Fight Week. I'm going to be in Vegas for that fight. I'll be, yes, I'll be cage-sized. Yes. Rogan's tickets, yeah? Yes. And I had to have a talk with you, right? Because Brian goes, what time does the main card start? And I told him. My nephew said,

let's watch the prelims. And I was like, ooh, that's a long night. Yeah, but especially International Fight Week. If it's a pay-per-view, usually the under cards are still stacked, but especially International Fight Week, you'll see 300, 200, usually the main cards are good, but those are the hungry ones, those are the ones you wanna see. There's nothing more casual, for all you that go to the UFC events, there's nothing bigger bitch move

than just showing up for the main card. That's right. It's such a sissy move. I never heard that before until tonight, so I mean, I usually show up for just the main card. Are you Jared Leto? You're not, right? No. No, you're not card. You Jared Leto you're not right? What no No, you're not you Jared Leto. No wire. He shows up just for the main event He does I'm not Donald Trump does too. I guess I'm not that's the former president. I'd say right five, right?

Right, so I gotta show the fuck up at 3 p.m. 3 p.m. I'm talking about the fight past prelims really I want a positive attitude. Yeah. And get some coffee. Sit quietly. Hands on my lap. Ready for this? You're gonna sit there about seven hours. Seven hours.

Seven hours of fights. Good seven hours. Can't go to the bathroom either. Yeah. No. Unless you're Jared Leto. Unless you're Jared. You're gonna do no wrong in my book.

And you'll get escorted to the bathroom. Otherwise, no. But you at least gotta go for maybe not the UFC fight past prelims. I wanna watch Michelle Watterson fight. Ooh, you're gonna have to get there early. Oh, really? Okay. Super early. I wanna watch her fight. Yeah, she's pretty early on the card. I wanna watch.

Joe Pfeiffer, you're gonna have to get. Yeah. Now he's the main event on the prelims. If you don't watch Joe's fight, don't come back to LA. He's good. Yeah, he's the man. If you don't watch Cubs Swanson and Phelan. You gotta watch Cubs Swanson.

So they're the, they're second to last on the prelim main card. Andrei Orlovski. Charles Johnson. I'd like to watch Andrei Orlovski. Then we're gonna be last. Ricky Simone's fun too, he's the first five of the night. How old is Andrei Orlovski right now? Well he's older than me so he has to be at least 44. Wow. Still doing it. Yeah that's insane. If you're gonna watch Andrei Orlovski you're gonna need to be there about 330 Yeah, I'm gonna have to be there super early Yeah, I'm not saying you gotta go to the prelims for the UFC fight pass

But you at least gotta be there. I really want to see Michelle and I want to see you're not making that but You at least got to be there for the Cubs wants in Andre Philly fight Yeah, so if that starts at 7 you should plan on there about 530 if you want to see the last two. Okay. And then we got to... Sitting in your seat. Will they start the main event with Machado Gary and Michael Page?

Yes, which I think should be... I can't say co-main event because you've got Bryan Artigian, Diego Lopez, but it's good where it's at. That Bueno Silva fight's terrible on there. Joe fights with Joe. It's it's it's good where it's at that bueno Silva fights terrible on there Joe fight How many fights has besides against Douglas Lima? How many fights is Michael venom page lost to to what a career? What a crazy career. Yeah But you you you were a tour though Interesting you wanted to see it. So you're

You're figuring he's gonna beat he's gonna lose to Ian Gary? I mean you never know, it's a good fight. It could go either way, but I think Ian Machado Gary, his age, I think by far the toughest fight he's had. Is there a chance it's just a very boring fight? Could be. Could be. Very cautious.

Yeah, because everyone's cautious against Michael Vanembeige. Because he's hard to figure out by the time you do it. It's only three rounds. If it's five rounds, maybe get more excitement in the fourth and fifth, but three rounds, awkward dude. So it's, and sometimes guys don't want to pull the trigger. Ian and Gary probably do a lot of low kicks, I would imagine, or try to.

Maybe, I don't know. I'm looking forward to that. If he's trying to, I mean, you know, Ian McChaddle, Gary Gary and Yuri should be trying to grapple at some point. Yeah. They shouldn't just make it striking matches. It's so stupid. No. Anthony Smith and now Roman, I don't even know who that guy is to you. Yeah, you don't. If you saw him, maybe you know him. Yeah, he's tough. That fight's been switched around so many times. Brian Ortega, Diego Lopez, probably the best fight on the card The Machado Gary and Michael Bennett page depending how they fight could be the best

That's either gonna be a great fight or there's gonna be no middle grounder. Well, do you gonna be great or awful? Diego Lopez seems to be knocking dudes out, right? He's just he's got fucking not a Brian or take his level But yeah, not a Brian. Well, but Brian Brian is I would imagine, has definitely the advantage in grappling. Grappling, yes. Yeah. So. Submissions, yes. That would be nice.

Digo Lopez is age on his side. He's a young cat. Young and hungry. You know, and Brian, in his last fight, he won, but it was a tough fight, man. He took a lot of hits. We got wobbled. Yes. Yes.

He's taking damage. He's taking a lot of damage. Yeah. A lot. Taking a lot of hits, we got wobbles. Yes. He's taking damage. He's taking a lot of damage. A lot. Taking a lot of damage. Which I hate. But then there's Piera. Alex Piera, Yuri. I told you, I think his gift for winning at 303s can be a first time ever going triple champ status.

I think they'll fight the winner of Curtis Blades and Asmonell. I'm so in for that. Why wouldn't he do that? He would have to do that. I told you after the fight, after Strickland's fight, I'm sorry, after Whitaker's fight, after he starched that dude, I was like, they got to do Strickland versus Robert Whitaker. Strickland came out and was like, hold up. I beat Izzy, everyone knows I beat Duplices. I'm not fighting Whitaker, he's lost to both of us. He's like, I'm just gonna wait.

Fair. It is fair, that's not how it works though, is it? No. Dan is gonna go, excuse me, oh no, no, no, no, I didn't say that. You're fighting Robert Whitaker. That's not the Izzy he wants. You're fighting Robert Whitaker.

Yeah, you're not gonna be able to navigate around that. Unless you're a combat dragger, it doesn't work that way. If they want him to fight, he'll fight. Really, that's it? I would imagine they make him fight. But Robert Whitaker, because they were making him the backup fighter for Izzy and Dupleses, and Robert Whitaker was like, I'm no backup fighter.

He's like, I got news coming soon. So, I would assume they're gonna push him for the Strickland fight. I'd love to see it. They haven't fought. Great fight. So we'd all love to see that. Yeah, great fight.

I mean, great fight. It's very interesting to like, because I would say striking wise, I would say, I'd say Strickland has the advantage. No. He didn't have the edge? No. Really? Defense, but not as far as like power. No. He doesn't have the edge? No. Really?

Defense, but not as far as power, no, technique, no. Yeah, power man. Power technique, no. Technique too. No. No. I give Robert Whitaker that. Kicks and everything, oh yeah.

And then you have to give Robert Whitaker the edge in wrestling then too. Yep. If there is a takedown attempt in that fight, Robert, because Robert has wrestling, but he doesn't shoot a ton. He doesn't do it, he doesn't shoot a ton. So you're going with Robert being, you would put your money on Robert.

I'm not saying that. I don't know. It's a great fight though. Yeah. It's a great fight. It's a great fight. I don't know. Robert passed the test of Paulo Costa. He passed the test of that tough Muslim cat. Yeah. Azemov, whatever his name is. Yeah, there's a lot of things to look forward to. I'm excited. But I'm going to go with, I'm definitely going to do with Alex on this fight. Me too. It's just the way it is. Me too.

Monster. I think he hits it though. He's gangster. Yeah, monster. And I like how everyone's rallying around Conor, like even Nate. He's like all these people saying, oh, Con's back down because of pinky toe and even Alex is like, he's made his money, his fame, like I wouldn't want to fight with a broken pinky toe. He goes, if I had his money and fame, I'd do the same thing. He goes, he earned it. And Nate was like, anyone criticizing Conor is just bitches that don't know. He's like, they've

never fought. He's like, so who cares? So I like how they're all rallying around him. That's, yeah, it's kind of surprising. But maybe it's not surprising. He's already displaced. It's a fraternity. People start coming after people. Now you have your guys who are going hard on the pain on them, like, you're like, you're a pussy and all this.

But they want to fight. They want to fight him. They want to fight him. Yeah. That's all they're doing. They're taking the shots. They want to fight him. Everybody wants to fight him.

If anyone doesn't have an agenda, and they just open mind about it. And you're- Yeah, not heavyweights. Nobody's gonna go bad on them. The guys who would never fight them. And you're UFC, they're like, what? Yeah, good for him.

Why would you compromise yourself? Things like that. Would you fight Conor for a lot of money? No. Hell no. Just kidding. Here's $5 million, okay. Let's take another little break, B, because UFC 303 is here this Saturday.

Let's get back to the podcast. Hey, you didn't catch many fish today. Listen dude. Right? I probably didn't and I think the fish could tell that I'm not a Just think a 10-cent to like his enthusiasm the ways that big 80 pounder my my my shoulders I was breathing hard. Yeah, that was not easy at all My arms are yeah, pop dude. I mean I pulled in a rockfish and I was like It's tiring. I'm not I don't have good crank muscles, dude If you don't play it's just different you're not doing a. Also that halibut is the ugliest fish I've ever seen.

If you guys have ever seen their eyes, they are. They look like giant cocks or flounders. Giant flounders. Live on the ground. They're ugly fish. We ate halibut tonight. Tiger tried fish for the first time. Tomorrow I want to see some orcas. That's what I'm excited about. Yeah, we're going to some weird place tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow we're going to go fish for a lean cod. Isn't that your dream fish, Chin? One of my dream fish, yes.

Why? Why is that one of your dream fish? I've been watching YouTube videos of people catching them and eating them. Are they big? You watch YouTube videos? They get huge. They look crazy. They look crazy.

They look like dragons. Dragons? And they're cods? Their teeth look crazy. Oh my crazy. They look like dragons. Dragons? And their cogs? The teeth look crazy. Oh my god. Yeah, our captain got his freaking finger bit by the hell bit today. Yeah. They have sharp freaking teeth man. That's why I always wear gloves Brendan. When I fish. By the way, it gets a little chilly for a second there. It was a little chilly. The wind. That's the one thing you don't do with that. Even my son had a t-shirt on. Don. It was a little chilly. The wind. That's the one thing you don't do. Even my son had a t-shirt on.

Don't do well in the cold. And you were bundled up. Don't do well in the cold. Very well in the heat. And when I see you do that, I go, ah, little bitch. Well, no, heat, I'm good. Ah, no, all of it bothers you, right? No, no, heat's good.

But especially the cold. Now cold, it turns me into a coward. Yeah, you dressed up. Me and my son were in t-shirts. I become a coward, like as in, oh no, I'm going to stay inside. I can't deal with the cold. You guys are built for the cold. I guess.

Yeah. I mean, T was in a t-shirt the whole time. It's unbelievable. He was catching so many fish. And just cranking that. Just, yeah, yeah, yeah. I loved it. It's unbelievable.

Most people just got here, they don't realize they're fishing for 10 hours a month. Yeah, well there are people right now fishing off the dock. How interesting. The guy looks like he's peeing, but he's actually fishing. Interesting. Doesn't he? Well guys, um... No, I could not fly fish. I wrote a book about fly fishing. I can't think of another activity that would not be for you. It didn't know. Do you have ADD really bad? Well, I mean, I just can't do it.

And then fly fish is not for you. And there's a whole technique to it. Oh, it's so much learning. Oh my God. I think we got so many fish, like the halibut, cause here's how you do it. You make it go all the way to the bottom and their dumbasses with their caucasus grab onto it

and you reel their big asses up. That's a lot of work. There's no technique. No. Like, cause when we started doing salmon, you have to do a little more technique. Tiger caught fish, Lex caught some, and you and me, that's a lot of work. There's no technique. No. Like, cause when we started doing salmon, you had to do a little more technique. Tiger caught fish, Lex caught some, and you and me, it's just.

Fly fishing is our philosophy, literally. Like, these people. It seems peaceful, though. You gotta be at a really special place in your heart to fly fish. Yes, and I'm not a zen master, so. No, we have some demons. I got lots.

Our demons don't like fly fishing. It's very hard for me to quiet my brain down. Today, all I did all day was try to not have any thoughts. And then I wrote a bunch of stand-up, actually. So that's why I was so quiet. You're on your phone a lot. FaceTime and stuff. Just my kids and my wife.

That was it. I'm not on my phone too much. I feel like you were on your phone a lot. No, I don't have service. I have the worst service. But you were on your phone. Everyone has service now. I don't have service. Really? No. I have nothing. I can't do shit. I have the worst service. What are you writing for? Everyone has service now. I don't have service.

Really? No. I have nothing. I had good service. I can't do shit. I had good service. No, only certain pockets. Yeah.

Like when we'd get around the whales, I'd get service, it's weird. Yeah. We saw a lot of whales. Like 25 whales today. We saw two tails. Thousand whales. I was hoping we'd see some great whites,

but they're not up here. They're not up here. They're not up here. whites, but they're not up here. Not up here. Not up here. You know why they're not up here? Orcas. Oh, that's right. And he's like, yeah, I don't know why they don't. I know why.

I didn't realize how big Alaska is, I didn't realize how close to Russia it is. Yeah. But we're also at the very bottom on the islands of Alaska, and then Anchorage, they say, is a three and a half hour plane ride. That's how big Alaska is. Yeah, yeah.

It'll take you a long time. You can do stand up in Anchorage. There are clubs up there. I can do it like four years ago. Me too. I got offered a gig in the winter time. Okay, probably not. Yeah.

I was like, no. I bet they come out though. I guarantee they come out. I guarantee. How could you not come out in Anchorage? It depends, yeah. But damn, that's cold. They're used to it.

But it's an oil town, so they got a lot of money. You know? That's what, Alaska's cold. They're used to it. But it's an oil town so they got a lot of money. You know? That's what, Alaska's oil. A lot of oil. Oil and fish. Oil, fish and timber. Used to be trapping too. There's sort of kind of breaking news.

I'm not sure it's guaranteed though, but Charles Olivera versus Dan Hooker for that Perth Australian Yeah, it's a firefight. I saw that and then also Tracy Cortez is filling in Macy Barbara got hurt She's filling in in Denver and she's fighting Rose now. Well, that's interesting. So so Charles Olivera is a beast. Yeah Olivera Dan Hooker. Yeah But I think I saw a tweet from Charles of saying he's like, people are announcing this fight and he's like, I haven't heard anything.

That'd be a weird fight. I mean, they want Dan Hooker on there, but for Charles, because what's Dan ranked? Yeah. I don't know. By eight? No, less than that. Six maybe? Seven?

I don't know. Be a good fight though. I know Alex Volkonoski is trying to get on that card and he wants to fight Charles Olivera. Tarukyan got suspended. Nine months. He's appealing it. I wonder what they're gonna do with that and here's the thing like I was like I doubt his team even cares because you could just fight anywhere like the Middle East is like what? We don't do shit. Like the Middle East is like, what?

We don't do shit. Oh, right. But the way it works is commissions. If you like to say the California, say they had a fight card in California and you don't obey by the Vegas rules, dude, it's a problem. Really? Yeah, it's a lot of problems. Really?

You can't, you definitely won't be able to fight in the United States. The commissions kind of all go by the same rules. But you didn't fight in Saudi Arabia. They wouldn't care. But it's just a, then, I mean, I'm sure Vegas make it really tough. Yeah. On the UFC when they come back. Yes.

So the UFC sticks to it too. They won't give them a fight. Maybe Saudi Arabia is a different animal. Yeah, definitely it's a different animal. They don't want to piss off Saudi Arabia. They'd figure it out. They'd work it out. We'll see.

Yeah. But I'll just give this mock cheff time, because when's Ramadan? It's already passed. When does it start back up though? Not for a year. We have whole another year? All right we have to worry about it then. Yeah because now they're going they're adaging there they're in Mecca and that's where they're all like 1,700 people have died from heat exhaustion. So it's not an issue? No. Damn they were praying and they died from dehydration? The heat was so bad that the old people and it was just like, some of them were walking

with no umbrellas and the sun. It's 125 degrees. So, you know, you're just gonna die. Or 117, it's crazy. You can't be in the heat like that. When you're an 80 in a wheelchair, people were literally dying. Well, that was good.

We just did our podcast. That's the podcast. What was your favorite thing about this trip so far? My favorite thing about this trip and Lex said it was watching your son just catch fish and be that excited and then watching those whales breach. I keep saying the whale thing. No there are a lot of whales. How many whales really? What did you say? I think six. Six. See? Lex said six, so I'm gonna say six. Mark, how many did you see? I trust you. He said four. He said six.

He said four and two were blurry. And I think they might have been more than six even. You know, it might even be one. Just look out there. It'd be so funny if a giant fin showed up behind us. That'd be great. Yes. I think all of us had the same favorite part, tiger catching the fish, he was drunk. That was cool.

Yeah, it was really cool. It's been pretty awesome, man. Food's good, everything's good. Eating fish that we caught. We're going to sleep hard tonight. That's awesome. I'm going to sleep hard tonight and get back on that boat. I'm so full though right now, I ate too much.

I ate too much of that bread. It was very good. The homemade bread was nice. I ate too much. I had two bowls of that soup. It's good here too because you're going gonna be forced to be on a diet no matter why because once once you eat dinner there's no snacks. There's no night night snackies. You go to bed. You go to bed. You go to bed, shut your mouth.

That's right. Go to bed, think of killing fish. That's right and by the way it'll stay light until 12 and then it'll get light again at three. So you got three hours of darkness up here. Just like in the winter time, it's dark at two. You know, so, you know, that's the worst. What's your favorite part, Jim? This was your dream fishing trip. The whole thing is my favorite part. I never told Lex, I was like, this is, yeah,

dream come true. The biggest fish in my life ever. Yeah. So that's cool. That's awesome. Now it's been great, actually. It's been great, I'm glad I's cool. That's awesome. It's been great actually. It's been great. I'm glad I came. Yeah, me too.

It's been great. It's tough getting out of the house, but once I get going and rolling, I'm pretty happy I came. It's pretty awesome, man. Yeah, I really, really enjoyed myself here. Great time for tea. Yeah, tea.

Tea before we wrap, get in here. Show off your award-winning hat. Aw, yeah. This is the Fisher. This is professional Fisher, huh? Yeah. What was your favorite part? Seeing the whales in the whales Six whales

The stonefish look cool, huh? No, because they're protected species so we had to throw them back It's good the stonefish Yeah, and then throw them back. It's sad. But they're good. The stonefish? Yeah. And then, That's a big two. They had big eyes. And then there's also rules to how many fish you can catch.

Like we've got our limit of halibut. Yeah. And then we're also gonna stuff one in frame and find kids due to the big boy. Yeah, that big boy. That was good. Stuff that big boy. And then all the meat you can take back home.

You can get it smoked. They give you like a box of meat. So whatever you catch, you take back frozen. And you know, it's great. They give you like a box of meat so whatever you catch you take back frozen and you know it's great they freeze it right here or you can smoke it which is pretty awesome and then they have like surplus so you can buy it here which I might do as well it's pretty awesome. What are you gonna bring your fish back to? I just want the one to frame in the final kit studio with the broken rod. With the broken rod is good.

You put weight, date, location. It's a good memory. You don't probably glue it together. No I don't want to. I want to leave it broken. Look at this. Look at that. It's literally broke.

Look at that. Look at that. It snapped off and then I had to reel it in here like this and there was no room and it took three grown men. That was not easy. No. No, my glitz. You had to reel it in here like this and there was no room and it took three grown men. That was not easy. No, no my glitz. Because you had to hold on there. I was like holding on to the captain's hand. Yeah that's not easy. What you could do in the studio it's like you could get a bit thin you can do it like this and like put the fish on top. That'd be a good idea dude. We'll see. We'll see what they can do. We're gonna stop that thing. But yeah, finding a kid from Alaska, man.

We've had a great time. Yes, we have. Come see me, by the way. Sports Wings Cove Lodge. If you're not in Alaska and you're in San Antonio, Texas, July 12, 13, 14, my new hour is the best thing I've ever done. So here we go.
