Because we got Misha Tate on the show, welcome
Thank you, thank you, thank you
You came in from where?. Vegas. So Vegas is home now because
You lived in Singapore for a while correct?
I did like about a year and a half and I was supposed to be two years
But the pandemic kind of put a kibasha on that, you know, did they did they really lock down? Oh, yeah, so super super strict
And I was like I was super super pregnant
Oh yeah, so super super strict and I was like I was super super pregnant Oh, you think about that is like my mom couldn't come over for the birth all those things was having the borders locked down
And then you couldn't leave your house without a mask
It's not like here, you know where you can kind of break the rules and like there's not enough
There's to be people to enforce it not there not there
They have like ambassadors walking around wearing ambassador shirts and they'll straight up ticket you and that looks a bit scary
Like they came people and shit not that I think they'd cane you for not wearing a mask.
You know what I'm saying, right?
It's just like, you don't get what it's up there.
It's a need for a straight, cause clean too, right?
Very clean.
You're not allowed to spit on the ground,
they don't sell chewing gum.
It's technically not allowed there,
but it's kind of like if you bring it in on your own
and you just don't say anything,
like nobody says anything, but-
Rebels.
If you get in on the, you get.
Yeah, for sure.
Whenever I came in,
cause they're coming from America makes makes sure you're taking trips back.
I felt like I was like a drug dealer because
you want some comedy, but like everyone would be so excited.
I'm like, oh my gosh, you got that rig list.
I'm just gonna try it.
I'm thrilled.
You should got that rig list on it.
You're like, whoa.
Yeah, but delicious.
Come on, y'all need that big red.
I'm not gonna stretch.
I'm not gonna stretch.
I'm not gonna stretch.
I'm not gonna stretch. I'm not gonna stretch. I'm not gonna stretch. I'm not your daddy. He should have blown up. Yeah, for real, I was like 24 packs a gum, you know?
And it's like-
But Singapore was a good experience.
It was a good experience.
It was an experience.
It was definitely something I'm glad that I did, but I will never do it again.
Interesting. Why?
I just, you know, culturally,
it was a bit of a culture shock.
Like the people over there, they are not,
I don't know, like I kind of want to say,
they're just, they're not very culturally accepting
of like differences.
You know what I mean?
Like here in America, I feel like we're a melting pot.
We kind of just accept everybody,
or like that's the way I feel anyways.
And I've most people are so Shayway through that way.
But it's like some old like Chinese man would like not give you the time of day.
Like, we want to was like yelling at me for feeding my kid on the way to the airport in
a taxi.
He was like, so mad.
He's like, why are you feeding your kid right now?
We're not supposed to feed it.
Feed them in the car.
I'm like, they're like little, like those little finger things that's like, baby, skinny.
And I'm feeding them because I'm a mom
and I know how hard it's gonna be to feed them
once I get to the airport trying to get
through security on the plane, all that stuff.
I wanna make sure, like, sorry,
like I'll make sure your car is cleaned up
but he was, he's not having it.
Like that kind of stuff, you know what I mean?
Like, people are not very empathetic.
Interesting.
I would say overall, like, not very empathetic.
Kind of stressful.
Yeah, a little bit stressful.
Good experience though.
Oh yeah, I mean it's, you know, it's not every day you get to pick up and move across the
world and live in another country and experience Asia.
And I think the best part about living in Singapore is like it's very safe and really the
best thing about living there is to get out of Singapore.
Yeah.
It's so small.
I mean, you really can see the whole thing in two weeks.
It's tiny.
Really?
Very small. You really can see the whole thing in two weeks. It's tiny. Really?
Very small.
Like 40 minutes from one side to, 45 minutes, maybe to one side.
So when you had off time, would you travel around Asia?
Oh yeah.
Is that India's or no?
Well, I mean, I suppose if you go to the wrong places, yeah.
But you knew where to go?
I mean, usually I was traveling with one championship.
So it was like, you know what I mean?
They know.
They're not picking areas that are so, you know.
But there it is.
You look beautiful.
So weird.
I looked it out on the map, the other day, and I was like, I can't believe I lived there.
That's nuts.
Yeah.
I lived at the Marina Bay residence down in that, like almost where that makes that V right there.
Okay, yes, but you see, we're in the Bay stands basically right there.
Yeah, like I basically live right
Yeah, maybe guys
Touch on that again right there because you'll see what the marine of bay so that's that's like the iconic piece of single
I didn't live in that but I had to view that like right across the like there's a
No, right no, that's a casino
And then with one championship they set you up with housing and everything, or did you have to figure it out?
No, I had a, I, I, they helped me find the housing,
but that was like on my own to paper that I think.
So, but they paid me well.
So, and for the, for the listeners and viewers,
the reason you're in Singapore is because you are working
with one championship.
Yeah, which is based on a Singapore.
Yeah.
I don't know, that was based on a Singapore.
Yeah.
And you're, your experience with one championship, I thought it was great that they brought you on
board, especially with your knowledge and your fight game, the history of all that stuff.
So smart they brought you on board.
And then I was surprised because you come back to the UFC now.
So I guess when you decide to come out of retirement, I'll see the UFC on your rights.
I don't know if people realize that.
Yeah, no, people don't seem to realize that.
So I'm retired, right?
So if I decide to come back and let's add six fights,
or four fights left on my contract,
it's not because I retire, they're like,
okay, go have fun, you can do whatever you want.
No, no, no, they just freeze your contract.
So when she retired, it's not like,
I mean, should have a nice life. Unless you finish your contract, you can finish it up. Unless you's not like, I mean, she'll have a nice slide like hopefully.
Unless you finish your contract,
you finish it out.
Unless you finish it out.
But if you decide to retire midway through.
It freezes.
Is that why you did?
Yeah.
So when you come back, you have to fight for this.
How long are these contracts?
How long are these contracts?
Well, it's not years, it's fights.
It's fights.
Well, how many fights do you have to fight?
Six or eight.
Six or eight.
Just to pay, but especially these days,
they do long contracts.
Long contracts. So you can't just ban on it. Which would be the equivalent of about two years, typically, like if you days, they do long contracts. We can't just ban them.
Which would be the equivalent of about two years, typically, if you fought, usually three
fights a year, it's what most fighters, or at least what the UFC guarantees you is three
fights a year.
If you get injured, obviously, they extend your contract in time, so if you're not able
to fight or whatever, but they'll guarantee you those three fights.
It's about a two-year contract.
Two-year.
So when you decide to come out of retirement, did you have to let one championship know?
So are you still, my question is, so are you still working for one championship then
fighting for the UFC?
So I, in a perfect world, that'd be what I'd want to do because I'd be making bank that
way on both sides.
But you should be able to.
I mean, yes and no.
I mean, they're competing companies at the end of the day.
You know what I mean?
It's that they're doing the same thing in a, but in a different way, but competing for you know, for viewership.
So I guess I don't know. I mean, I kind of used to have the one championship, you know?
Yeah, I agree. Oh no, one championship's down. They would definitely have me.
You cease now. Right. That makes sense. Yeah. They don't play well without it.
No, they don't. They don't play well with that. So a little, a little off. So one champion. Well, the free, the freezing like you have to finish those fights
have to. Before you can go anywhere. Yeah. Before you can go anywhere else you have to fight.
I don't know. Let me fight you. I've left it in a contract. Six.
Chees. Oh, you've been there for a while, girl. Yeah. Wow. I think it was an eight-fight that I signed
at the championship. And then I had that fight and then I had one more. And then so I have six more.
So she has six with the OCs. she can't go anywhere to fight six times.
But I think that's a cutter.
Yeah, unless they release me.
I think it's too big of a name.
Yeah, so that's a huge name in the West.
But then I went to work for one championship as the vice president.
So maybe that's where it gets a little like if you didn't understand that I wasn't fighting.
I wasn't fighting.
No, I was not at all.
I was so lost. I was't fighting. No, I was not. I was so lost.
I was like, this is inside things,
I was like, this is inside things,
I bring you out the bro.
I'm new to this fighting world,
so you got to help me.
This is a deep cut.
So she, the Tiver and Fighting,
you go work the Vice President on a championship,
who's a different organization,
but they're only big in the things for it.
They're huge in Asia, but out here, they got Elaine,
they're doing from Africa, big buff guy.
Yeah.
You know what I'm talking about?
Yeah, he's a lot of English.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
See what's one?
Yes, he is.
Wow, look at you.
Yeah, see, you do know.
And then, about you know about Roug Roug?
Not at all.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, so do know about Roug Roug.
He just found.
He just found, we kind of look alike.
He's a Senegalese world champion. Yeah. He's. Yeah, he's a bad. He just had a fight. He did look at this week
Like you don't know what you're
But so then so mighty mouse and
Alvarez went over there, but that was what one
Yeah, this last one's the only seven. And he got starched.
Wait, wait, he's one of your...
Which I think was good for one championship.
You talk about DJ, obviously.
Yeah, I wanted to clarify, because you said Eddie too,
like I just won't let people know,
like the Eddie Alvarez situation,
that was weird.
That was weird.
Yeah, legal shock, that's weird.
I don't.
But I think for Mighty Mouse, it was,
it's good for one championship,
bad for Mighty Mouse, it was, it's good for one championship, bad for Mighty Mouse, obviously,
but the other thing inside baseball here,
they have different rules.
So if I'm fight, let's say she'll,
her next fight's in the UFC.
So she's fighting the UFC,
she can't knee a down opponent.
Yes.
One championship, you can knee a down opponent.
So.
And Demetri's Johnson was a huge advocate for that,
which I am also. I think
that if I think if you should be able to kneel in the head, okay, let me just let me
back this up real quick. Let me just tell why I think that this should be allowed.
It's my name, most.
My name is yes. So if you're allowed to kick someone in the head standing and they can
fall and you can allow to knee them standing, you know, and all these things, you can fly
knee them, which is a lot of momentum going.
I think grapplers get enough shit
for not being able to make fights exciting, right?
We always get those finishes.
Yeah, I get those finishes.
It's like, oh, it's Lane, Prave.
We'll then give us all the tools that we get on the feet.
Let us meet people on the head.
I'm gonna take that away from us on the ground.
Yeah, I'm gonna piggyback on that
because I do a show called What's Up with Bren and Job.
And fans call in with questions or debates
And this guy made a great point he goes you know Russians and dagostanians are taken over the UFC and mixed martial arts
And they're so grappling heavy he goes I think what would help these other fighters so to make it less boring is if they could
Ne on the ground so they have some sort of to it'll finish them with you so I don't they let me on the ground. So they have some sort of tool to finish them on time. I'm with you. So why don't they let them do on the ground?
That's a fatality.
Because some commissioner somewhere decided
it didn't look safe like a 12 to 6 elbow,
which is a dumbest rule that faced the win.
So they did the rule the whole time ago,
and they thought because of those kung fu movies,
or you see those weird taekwondo commissions,
were they're breaking boards like this
or like that could kill somebody.
So they said that's serious.
I wish I wrote that bit.
I wish I wrote that bit.
No, that's real.
Oh, that's real.
That's how insane it is.
That's what we were having.
It's so old school that I can't take somebody out.
Yeah, so that's always been the rule for UFC.
Yeah, you can't do the need to.
And to get rules, change is a night.
It takes forever.
There's different commissions.
Is this so what you got to go? And nobody wants to admit that they thought it was a dumb idea to begin with.
I'd feel like some people are stuck in that too. Like, oh, we just don't want to, you know, we don't want to admit that.
It's kind of like cove. That was like that. You sound like cove. Like New Sims got so far this way, where he's like,
even though he knows he's wrong, he, his ego, he's like, no, we're not letting him. He doubled. Even though CDC's like,
yes, six foot, they're making a sense now. It can be three and you guys are fine. He's like, no, no, no. We're not letting him. He doubled down. Even though CDC's like, yes, six foot doesn't make any sense now.
It can be three and you guys are fine.
He's like, nope, still six foot, because he doubled down on that.
He doubled down on it.
So that's kind of like fighting.
They're like, no, we doubled down on it.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
But to explain to one championship, that's a different rule set.
So you are allowed to knee to a grounded point And one championship and DJ, like myself,
also an advocate for it, ends up getting finished
with a knee to the head on the ground.
You know?
Did I say you were finished?
I didn't see it.
Oh, it's so bad.
But it's a bummer because the other bummer is,
you can't really train that.
So I think DJ, off these one fight,
and you'll see forever was one pound-prone goats
of all time. And when you're not used to that
And then when it goes live heat of the moment. I think you forgot me too
Because you're not trained. I yeah, well he looks so surprised when that happens
He just you know so that like and it's weird for me to like even I was like oh my god
Oh, it's really ugly because I'm yeah, yeah, I fuck with you. You know see that's my shit
Yeah, I'm not so when I watch it and see, that's my shit. Yeah, I'm alumni.
So when I watch it, and I see the knees,
my initial thoughts like, oh my God, what's he doing?
It's like, oh yeah, they can do that.
They can do that one.
It's so violent.
But also, to your point, it's not more violent
than getting kicked to the face with a shin.
Like that's more like falling down.
And you see the head bounce off the canvas.
And I'm like, what Mazaw did to Ben Asking?
Like that's way worse. that was brutal I thought you
know when I saw that what do you and then and then he fell in his face after he
got knocked out too it's like here it is it's always it so he gets clip before
right there goes to get up and he's like I'll just get back to my feet boom
I'll just get back to my feet. Boom! Oh!
But I think they have a star in the making there though with Adriana because now he's gonna get that to meet you Johnson Rubble a little bit, you know.
I've become more...
I mean, to meet you as a goat.
Yeah, and to meet you as an Eddie were on Food Truck before and I was saying to him, like, you know, he's tough.
But you beat tougher guys and he was like, I don't like that man.
He's like, because it puts pressure. I mean, these guys are really good, but they're tougher guys and he was like, I don't like that man. He's like because it puts pressure.
I mean, these guys are really good,
but they're not big in the American market.
He's like, this guy's a monster, man.
Yeah, he is.
Blackbeln, did you just say,
and did you notice that they look like
they're in two different way classes?
Like the major is just small.
He was like a foot shorter.
Look at that boy.
That's basically it just goes to show you
that you can be the greatest fighter of all time,
but you fight somebody potentially 10 pounds bigger than you.
Mind you, they did weigh in the same, but I guarantee you, DJ probably had a five-course
breakfast that morning.
It was drinking water and like, he just can't gain weight.
I know that.
And so in comparison to the flying knee that Moss would all do in comparison to that, the
flying knee was way more powerful than that. That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing. That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing.
That was a whole thing. That was a whole thing. That was a whole thing. That was the knee generated as opposed to the whole body moments in behind that.
And then the face plant have been asked.
I mean, I just make the argument that I don't think it's anymore,
I don't think it's worse.
It's not any worse than that.
It's tough to prove that it's worse than anything else.
That may be my first.
I don't know how to do it.
That's exactly right.
I'm going to let it be my heart sink.
I'm balls deep in fine.
You guys saw it.
I was like, oh my God.
I was, did you do okay? That's how my text is. You all right, man? It's tough. You guys saw the car, oh my God. I was, did you okay?
That's how I'm a Texel, you all right, man?
It's tough.
You just not used to it.
Yeah, of course, I mean, yes.
Let's take a little break from our chat
with the great Misha take, because listen,
did you know more than 50 million men in the US
suffer from male pattern baldness?

see where you can find course, pure.
Again, go to coursepeer.com, see where you can find course,
pure, celebrate responsibly,
course, brewing company, Albany, Georgia.
And then one championship, you guys have different way in.
Yeah, they do the hydration testing.
Which, break that down for these guys.
So they, I forget the name of a little device, but essentially they take urine and they put
it in this device that measures the, how hydrated you are essentially by how much waste
is in your urine.
So when you get really dehydrated, you know that your urine turns all dark and stuff.
There's not enough water.
So it's very concentrated.
The more hydrated you are, the more clear it is.
So it measures that basically through like a gravity process. Like if I'm saying that right, you guys hope that makes sense right?
There's more particles water versus particles waste and that's essentially what it is. They just
measure how hydrated you are through your urine. So then if you fight, so if you fight that because
so how does the weight division work? So let's say you fight at 135. Then you could weigh in at 145. You attend, so like one weight class up.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So I don't know if I'm bored with that.
You look at Mighty Mouse there, that was tough, man.
Yeah, he just doesn't get, you know, he'd have to cut
a little bit to make 125 before he said that,
but I was always part of the process
and then he was on par with everybody else.
Where now I just feel like these guys, you know, and there's a little flux to cut a little bit
of weight with that. You know, you can cut a couple pounds and still be within hydration.
You just can't cut massively towards, you know, damaging like you see a lot of people
do that and they're just like, they're out of it. You know what I mean? They cut so much
weight 20 pounds. How much did you, did you use the cut?
I never cut. The only time I cut was for a Jiu-Jitsu match.
I got down to 22.
Yeah.
And I found out the other guy didn't have to cut,
but they can tell me that.
But heavy weight.
But heavy weight you know what I mean.
It weights 206, 265.
And I weighed like 240 my entire career.
Oh, good.
Yeah.
So I was fighting that.
I guess it's a problem.
You know what I want to talk about about?
Heavy weight.
Like it's insane to me.
I'm coming at 240.
I find a guy like Ben Rothwell or LaVar Johnson and they're
265 pounds.
That's what I'm talking about.
Well, you're heavyweight.
So like, 25 pounds, 25 pounds.
Yeah, there should be a cruiser weight at 225.
But it's only in the heavyweight division that it's that big of a gap.
Well, look at steep antfrancis.
There's a big weight difference in those.
I don't remember exactly how much it was,
but I mean, you could see it in there.
It was a lot.
It was at least 15 pounds, which 15 pounds
of on Francis is never in the 15 pounds
or like tied to a Vasa.
Francis at 250 or 260, all muscle.
Fucking crazy that is.
That's nuts.
Nuts.
So my question for you is, you're one of the few who decides retire and you're crushing the game your VIP of
the huge organization and
What like and I'm saying this cuz I like you I care about you. It's like
When you I heard you're coming back and like, oh, why man? Oh, I think a lot of people had that reaction
But some people were really excited like myself. I'm obviously excited. Yeah, I'm not saying not excited
No, I get you.
Why?
There's no better answer than I just want to.
That's it, that's really why.
What's for me?
I just want to.
No, you didn't hear it.
I just feel like I can do it.
I made sure to go through it, you know, kind of that checklist of things before I decided
to like make that official announcement.
What's the checklist? So basically, you know, I have had two kids and I decided to like make that official and announce the news.
What's the checklist?
So basically, I have had two kids and I wanted to make sure my body could still do it that
the sport hadn't passed me by that I could get in that kind of shape that I could avoid
the injury and that I could still like fight or fight, you know, they talk about that being
an instinct.
I think once a fighter, always a fighter, but it's one thing to think that is one thing to
go in there and prove it, you know.
So it's just that you just two kids. Exactly.
And over four years of being retired, I haven't done a ton of sparring in those four years.
But I also think that's going to lead to my longevity now.
You know, that I'm a little bit later in my career.
I'm smarter.
I feel like my body is finally connecting with my mindset.
I'm just more mature.
Look at things in a different way. And I just, so anyways, the checklist was making sure that I could, that, all those things,
basically. Sport hadn't passed me by. Could I still do it? Could I hang? Could I get on that level?
Could I get back into that kind of shape?
Was there a fight you were watching or I'm sure you watched UFC?
So were you watching something like, I can't get those girls?
Because even me, and I tell Dictator, I always felt like that.
Like I'll watch heavyweight, so I can't beat that guy. You still feel that way? Oh yeah. Yeah. I'll watch him. It's like I can't beat that guy.
You still feel that way.
Oh yeah.
I'll watch him.
If I get in shape, I can beat those guys.
Yeah.
Certain guys.
Yeah.
That never goes away.
That's what you say.
I don't want to.
Yeah.
But in my hand, I'm like, I can beat that guy.
Yeah.
Did you still have fights left?
Oh yeah.
If I came back, I think I have four fights left
on my contract.
Got it.
Okay.
So was there a fight you were watching?
I could beat her.
No.
It just always felt that way.
Yeah.
With like most, you know, most all of them.
Yeah, it was just feel that way.
But I don't know.
That's probably being a fighter, I think, right?
You got to kind of feel that way.
Yeah.
Like I think you always got to feel that way, you know,
know that you can.
But again, I had to prove that to myself.
So I went back to the gym and I started training.
So it was right around the time that I had my son.
So that would be about almost 10 months ago now.
That's when I had the force slowed down
and it was just kind of like everything hit a halt.
I knew I was done having kids and I was like 34.
I was like, now I think time started to become relevant.
I was like, I think I want to make another run at this.
And did you tell your man and your family where they like, come on.
So I told my, obviously, I told my man first.
I told Johnny, I said, um,
scooters coming up to say hi.
So you got food for me?
Um, so I told him first, and I just want to see what he would think.
Because obviously, you know, the kids is a different all game.
Like we had a lot. Different all game.
Oh yeah, I mean, we have so much.
It's very overwhelming at times.
I'm not gonna lie to it.
I'm with you, I get two toddlers.
And you know, this weekend, it is so hard.
Home, I'm not on tour.
And you know, it's, grandma, grandpa's not around.
Just me and my girl and we're like,
man, what are we gonna do?
I know, it's a struggle is real.
Two days, it is rough.
Well, just us, it's like,
we gotta figure out what you're gonna do.
Like you're in it. Absolutely. So then, I know we got to figure out. Yeah, like you're in it
So then I know and I'm not familiar with are you married or just no, we're not married. Yeah, so yeah
So is he is he a fighter is in your fight game? So he's found ultimate fighter before
And now he fights for one championship. Okay, so he understands it. Yeah, yeah, he understands it
Definitely so yeah, he gets it. He knows what's going to have to go into it.
And of course, very supportive.
But he's always my rock.
Because I'm kind of just like, I don't know.
Like sometimes I get these ideas and I just go.
Like I've never been very like, I have to be, you know,
follow this path.
Yeah.
That kind of thing, it evades me.
I'm just like, if I buy a suit in my pants,
now I have way more structure in my life
because I have kids, but I'm still that way in my heart.
Sure.
Because I feel something, if I feel passionate about it,
like I'm gonna go with it.
And that's why I'm-
And I'm all in.
And that's why the comeback was a lot more well thought out.
Yes, exactly.
You know, because it's like I knew in my heart
what I wanted to do, but I'm also like, you know,
and how my man is like, you know,
well, we gotta do these things to make sure like before you before you go and
say something. And I didn't want to put any pressure on myself. I just want to enjoy it.
I want to come back and see like what I could do. What kind of shape I could get in. And
like, to be honest, like, if I went in there, if I got injured, if I couldn't hang, if I
couldn't physically hack it, then, you know, I would have known and I would have never
said anything to anybody. But I'm sure you're doing pretty well in training.
Right. Yeah. You're a little beast.
Yeah. So, so, so, so then when you told one championship
we're like, oh, come on.
Because they know you're probably not going to be able to
to say the same thing.
The same thing.
Yeah, I don't know if that's the way that they felt,
but they, but that's not what they said.
Like when I talked to Trottery who is the CEO and founder
of one championship, he was. He was 100% supportive.
Like, it's not very often you find a friend in the business world
that has, you know, that your dreams are gonna kind of counter
in a way what would be beneficial to them,
but they're still gonna support you in that mission, you know?
But again, my point with One Chamuchin,
like you said, they're supportive of it,
is like what's good for you is good for them.
Like the bigger me should take it
Right so she had one championship in the VPs. Yeah for them exactly, but I had to put in my 30 days
So you see right yeah, so I've got like maybe two weeks left and then
Then you can always go back. I'm sure like the door is open. I think so. I mean we left on amicable terms
They've been really good to me. I had a good experience there. I have no, no, you know.
I mean, I don't know which direction.
I'm not, you know, I'm not promising anything.
I don't know if I'll continue to work with the USC
after I'm done fighting or if I'll go back to one
championship, but I think doors are open either way,
which is, you know, just nice to have options.
And then is there any opponents in mind?
Or because I read that your first life can be up 45?
So, is that the plan?
No, so it, originally I thought about it
because I'm still breastfeeding my son
and everything like that.
And I was like, I don't want to have to diet
and cut weight and like worry about, you know,
milk supply and all that stuff.
But I want adoptions when I started to look
at the 145 pound division,
it's like they let, they just let megan Anderson go,
and now there's two women,
and Amanda's coming back down to 135.
That division, I mean, there's nothing there.
You know what I mean?
So it's like Felicia Spencer and Danielle Wolfe
are fighting, but Daniel Wolfe was like,
I don't know, she's like one or two fights in MMA,
not very much.
I think she's like one-on-one or one-on-one
or something, and then there's Felicia,
which I think would be a great fight.
I would love to maybe fight her someday, but I mean, if we're not gonna have a division with fights to keep me busy, I know or something. And then there's Felicia, which I think would be a great fight. I would love to meet you fight her someday,
but I mean, if we're not gonna have a division
with fights to keep me busy.
There's no longevity there.
So you'll be for what you're gonna do.
And then maybe Amanda Nunez, she wants to do it.
Yeah, but to be honest, I've been out for four and a half years.
Like, I don't think Amanda for my second fight
would be a very smart decision.
You know what I mean?
She was a total badass and it's great.
I want to fight her again,
but I want to make sure I do things the right way
and give myself the best opportunity to win.
And I don't think jumping enough one fight
is the best thing to do.
But you're such a big name too.
So it puts you have seen a tough spot
because it's not like thing is Tashi's some newbie, you know?
Like home was like, I'm down for that.
Like all these big dogs because you're a big dog.
In the face, you're, you know, in know in the mountain where female fighting so all of them want
their shot at me she's a date I know it's funny actually I've been hearing a lot of but I mean that's great I'll be the second most
hunted woman in the division you know they'll be Amanda and it'll be me yeah and she doesn't do tune up fights though like like boxing you come out
not real life no tune up they don't they don't play they see Chris swim very much especially for me she yeah she's what you're a big long career like the
literally she's one of most famous female fighters all the time so they're
not gonna they're not gonna give it right like you know what I mean
I mean I'm not making a comparison to me she'll but you look at like even
with CM Punk like have fun dude and he's got never fought before she got
absolutely destroyed yeah when we kid him a newer guy
Yeah, they're like in every dozen he doesn't
It's always synchronized, but they want everybody tried and true. I mean they don't want to build up records and have people be I
Don't know this look 34 years old two kids in four-year layoff you go in there with the sharks
Yeah, basically, And you ready?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, that's like, gotta be.
That's fine.
Yeah, I'm alright.
So the first woman that I'm scheduled to fight is Marin Rinal.
Are you familiar with her?
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
No, it's not an easy fight.
No, bring her up, Jen.
No, it's not easy.
It's not.
She.
So this is what is
What is the million right she's a bullie's the night she's 43 but yeah But she and she's come off losses correct. She is so that's the worst part about this
It's she's a lot better than what her record says in my opinion so she has four losses, but they're all
Wait now what decisions? She's never been finished. She's lost split decision
She's been on the verge She's lost split decision.
She's been on the verge of being a contender in a number of times.
She's finished Jessica on Drogh, which is like impossible to do.
She's a triangle choked her.
Then she heard a Stereomic man on the feet and triangle choked Stereomic man.
That's not easy to triangle choked.
You know what I mean?
It's like, so she's got these wins.
That's a weird fight, huh?
Because I guess people, yeah, she's coming out for losses.
Good, by the way, she was playing.
That's what I mean.
It's like, it's not.
It's a, it's like, it's kind of like worries me
because I'm like, people really look at that
and they're just gonna see you're like,
I'm like, oh, for losses, I'm like,
I don't look at that at all that way.
No.
Those losses were all decision losses
and they were pretty close.
Like, she held her own.
Like, she never was in major trouble.
She's never been in major trouble fight.
She's never been finished.
She's never been knocked down.
She's tough, she's durable.
She can do everything.
She's a black belt in Jiu Jitsu, she can strike.
She can clinch, wrestle.
And when's that fight?
So let's go down.
Yeah, July 17th.
Oh, it's a long time.
It was nice.
Yeah.
I mean, I got time because I've been doing this, I've been training for months now.
And then did your manager call the UCC come back or did you handle that?
No, I did.
I actually was like bugging Dan on Instagram and I have no idea why but he blew off like
my first 5 DMs about wanting to come back.
He just didn't see him.
No, he saw them.
That's why I messaged him on Instagram.
He never saw.
That's why I messaged him on Instagram because I'm like, oh, I'll be able to see if he saw them. That's why I messaged him. He never spun. Yeah, that's why I messaged him on Instagram
Someone like I'll be able to see if he read it, you know, like I wanted to know
Like I was gonna send like this text message like I will know he saw that shit
Were you nervous when you DM them?
Kind of but then I saw and then I got I started to be like maybe someone else is running his account
You know you never know like maybe someone else. He's in it on the social media But I was like maybe I don't know maybe there's a person that's checking it or you know helps him out with some things
And they opened it and he didn't actually see I was trying to make up excuses, but deep down
I really knew he just was like ignoring me
I was like oh, she's not serious. That's what I
She's finding one champ ship. Yeah, then what would what got over the hump where you start engaging with you
So through DM or text.
No, it's all through Instagram.
So I wrote this long message and I was like,
I'm not gonna come back to the US and move my family back.
And leave one championship is what I realized.
It looked like I probably would have to do.
That's what I was assuming would happen.
I'm not gonna do that.
Jump from one tree until I have another to make sure.
So where are we out with this? I want to fight and then he just said come home. That's all he said
Oh damn
But I know right but I kind of took that as like put your money where your mouth is like if you're really serious about wanting to fight
Proof yourself absolutely
Yeah, I'm sure you's blown up all the time. Yeah, so yeah Right, move home and see what happens. Yeah, so I did. You know, I'm here, dude.
Exactly.
Is it all right?
We'll get you a fight.
Then I came into the office and he's like,
so what are you doing here?
I was like, what do you mean?
He's like, what do you want?
I was like, I want a fucking fight.
Yeah, I want a fucking fight.
I came home.
I know right here I am.
And he just still was kind of like, okay, like he was still
kind of like, you know, why?
He's like, you're not making good money.
I think that was the other thing.
Maybe he was concerned about me being desperate, right?
That it washed up.
Mecha Tay was gonna come back and desperate
to feed her family kind of thing and just get my ass kicked
and take a paycheck and leave, you know?
But I was like, no, I really want to fight.
He was like, okay, well wait, what?
I was like, probably 45, so don't have to worry
about cutting weight and just walk in fat and happy.
And he was like, okay. I don't have to worry about cutting weight or just walk in fat and happy and He was like, oh, okay
Then what did he say? He said, well, oh, he said 45 is a rematch with Amanda and I said so 35
Like I'm gonna get to her. You know what I mean? So I just
I was like that's fine with me. That's what I want anyways at the end of the day like I want to fight her again
I want to I want to do it. I want to be the best woman of the planet again. And then the since you left, you know, especially four years ago,
that 35 is stacked. It's a bit of a different. It is. Well, it is, but a lot of the women that when
I left are still in the top. So that's why another reason why I definitely don't feel like, you know,
those sports like quote unquote, passed me by. I mean, Holly, you've seen her get a, you know,
numerous title shots again. She's still talking about wanting to make another run at it. I mean, Holly, you've seen her get a, you know, numerous title shots. Again, she's still talking about wanting to make another run at it. I mean, Julie on a pania, we grew up
in this sport together. She's going to fight, you know, for the title next, like a lot of the
women, Marian Renaud, right? This is her retirement fight, granted, but I mean, she's been in the UFC
close as long as I have. I would say Katzen Gano, obviously, she went over to Belltor, but she's
still in it. She's still winning fights, right? These are women that cyborg, Amanda,
Amanda too, to be honest.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, she's just come back like crazy.
Yeah, but all women that were in my,
in a better in my era.
You know, she's been around forever,
Holly home doing this thing.
Sarah McMan.
Pena, Sarah Man, yeah.
Yeah, they're all kind of doing it.
So, it's a good mixture, but a lot of them are still from my, what I would consider my
generation of fighting, and they're still doing great things and still holding top five
spots and top 10 spots, mostly all of them, actually.
So yeah, I definitely think like I still have time and.
Was there any idea or was there any attempt to get released from the UFC contract so you
can find one championship, just to make it easy?
Well, I knew that would have been the easiest route, right?
Yeah, that would have been the easiest route, but I knew that they weren't going to do that just based on we tried to do a grappling match with one championship
and they ex-made that real quick.
They didn't like that.
You're too big of a name.
Yeah, so I guess I mean, that's what it is.
And to be fair, like the UFC had so much to do
with elevating my brand.
Correct.
I think people cared a little bit coming from strike force.
You know, Rodden and I had that great fight.
It's what, and, you know, Gina and Cyborg,
since that time kind of moved forward,
and it was a big part of that movement.
I think people started to care about it,
but it was still a lot of hardcore fans.
You know, hardcore fans really cared.
It wasn't so much like it is now mainstream.
Yeah, when I think of women's fighting,
you start about the pioneers.
It's like Gina, cyborg, Rhonda, and you.
And then Amanda came on late and obviously,
she's the dominant face of the women's fighting,
all women's fighting.
So there's like you five are in Mount Rushmore.
Yeah, and Amanda, I don't think she was too much behind us though, you know, she's,
I think she's 32. But she just didn't get noticed until she changed, she changed camps and then
change camps and then maturity, right? Like you look at that fight with Kat Zangana.
Right. She had, she's beaten shit out of Kat and just kind of, you know, got tired and then
got beat. And I think she learned from that. And now she's just this absolute dominant champ, man. Domino.
And I figured it out.
What's good for you and your advantages, you knew her before that. These girls find her
now like me getting in and stuff like that. You know, they see her as this the go.
The line. You don't see that. No, I've seen. I've seen her lose exactly. And I've seen
her lose in in in Victor. I was Sarah Delalio. I'm pretty sure it was Sarah Delalio beater, but
Yeah, I've seen her lose before I mean, I know she has her weakness and stuff
I think it's such a big advantage because all those girls like, you know, I love me again
I think she was beat before he even started I agree completely agree
She looked like her eyes got like this big as soon as the bell
went and Amanda started to march across the way and she was just kind of like
ah! I was like well I will not be like ah when I fight her I promise you. I can't
promise victory you guys but I can always promise that I'll bring a hell of
fight and I'm not scared of any woman on this planet. Is there besides her
is there any other fights or redemption fights anything like that you're looking
for?
I wish I could run it back again with Kat, but she's over and bailed to her right now, so that's kind of just
great fight. Yeah, I would really like to run it back with that.
You know, and then I think I'll end up fighting Holly again. It's not really something I'm like gunning down because I beat Holly, so it's not like, yeah, I, you know, like,
gotta have it, but I'm sure she'll be one of those six fights though. I'm sure gunning down because I beat Holly so it's not like yeah, oh, you know, like gotta have it
But I'm sure she'll be one of those six fights though. Yeah, I'm sure she will be at some point
I'd love to fight your main. That's one that I've never I never got the opportunity to fight her
I'm pretty sure you're gonna you're gonna win this one then you're looking at those those top top women
You know you're looking at top three and I think your is, yeah, she's one. She's one in Hollywood homes too. I'm interested in Yana too, because I think Yana and Jermaine,
those would be fun fights for me.
Those women are both, you know, ranked really high.
And, you know, Yana, she's improving every fight that I see her.
She's getting better.
Yeah, she's getting a lot better.
She's got good striking.
She, you know, she's fought Cyborg, so I know she's not scared,
you know, she's not scared to fight people. And she comes to fight. She gets better with her wrestling,
been seeing her take people down and you know, land her ground up out and stuff, so I think that'd be
a good one too. And then I was reading too before you came in here. You were struggling with some
mental health issues, is that right? Yeah, I was like, I was just struggling. Just because you're
in Singapore, you think? That was so no, this was a long time. This was a struggle just because you're in Singapore you think or that was so no this was a long time this was a
Really throughout my entire career, but it kind of came to a headway. I would say
It really started to get bad before the holly fight to be honest and then during camp years like
We're talking like straight depression or you just don't want to do it anymore
Yeah, so I had struggled a lot in my personal life.
So with my ex, it was just not a,
it was just a very toxic relationship, to be honest.
That's tough to do that.
It's hard.
It's hard.
And then fighting you.
Yeah, and especially when that person is your head coach.
Oh, my god.
Yeah.
That's why you don't get your head coach.
I'm 100%.
You're telling me how's that now?
Yeah, exactly
I know you and I are just like taking off
Our conversation you're like what is going on?
I know
It's not like salsa. When's your next box?
I'm gonna follow this now like salsa. When's your next box?
You're gonna find us
So you play for the L.A. Sparta
Your point guard for the L.A. Sparta And you get right right? You guys should be paid more
Trying to I got a business. I'm new to the fighting world. I'm new to it
Yeah, you you surprised me. Yeah, so so was toxic. You're dealing with you know
You're a coach and use're boy, which is a nightmare. Yeah, that was a nightmare because there was no break,
you know, obviously the personal part of the relationship goes into the gym a little bit.
I'd say we did a better job of separating it there, but coming back home the other way,
it was like almost never separated, you know, so it was just like constant pressure. And
to be honest, like, you just, I don't know, it's like almost nine years that we were together
and I tried to exit that relationship probably,
you know, the last four or five of it,
at least 50% of it.
It's your head coach, it's like, no.
And it's one of nine.
And yeah, I mean, and-
So that took a toll on you?
Yeah, you know, you would threaten me in ways too,
that it was just like, you just don't feel like I could leave.
There's no excuse on my part.
I mean, I can't make it excuses.
I can't blame him.
I have to take accountability and blame for myself
because ultimately at the end of the day, it's my decision.
But when somebody is threatening to like, take their own life
or release nude photos, things like that, you know,
you're just like, oh, okay, you know, and then-
I think what's good for people with listos is like, so many people in their intoxic relationships, they don't want you to say, why don, you're just like, oh, okay, you know, and then- I think what's good for people, the list is like so many people
when they're in toxic relationships,
everyone's gonna say, won't you just leave them?
And you're a badass.
I'm sure a lot of girls like,
what, Mecha, can I get out?
Yeah, I struggle, I struggle for a long time.
Like, you know, if we get into arguments
and I'd wanna like walk away and get my space
to keep my cool, because I'm not somebody
who likes to lose my cool.
If I'm getting to the point where I feel like
I'm gonna say some shit, I don't mean.
Walk away. I wanna walk away, I wanna take to the point where I feel like I'm gonna say some shit I don't mean. Walk away.
I wanna walk away, I wanna take a deep breath,
I wanna calm down, you know?
I don't like to stay in the heat of that moment.
And he's like, wanted to hash it out right then and there,
you know, so like, it would be like, sometimes like,
blocking me in a room, like not letting me exit the room,
like things like that.
And those things just wearing you mentally,
because-
I still feel like you'd beat him up,
but that's a different conversation.
Right, you kinda think that-
He's a small guy. But be honest, the more but be honest, he fought in conversation. Right, you kind of think that. He's a small guy.
But, be honest, he fought in the UFC too, you know what I mean?
He was tough.
He was tough.
He was a good wrestler, good grappler, good, you know, so I mean.
Still feel like if Vegas odds, you're like minus one.
It had been an enough situation.
I'm saying if I was the rough, if I was her Dean in the house, I'd be like, I got
Misha.
But it's hard to think logically through all that, especially's her dean in the house? I'd be like, I got Misha. I don't know how to say it. But it's hard to think logically through all that,
especially in your fighting.
And then your fighting women and steel Kate,
you gotta deal with that.
What was your breaking point?
Like, you know what I'm gonna be asking?
Like, I'm not sure enough.
The breaking point really was probably
with the Amanda fight when I just felt like,
as I became more successful,
he just kind of like relaxed.
And you know, he had to use the term writing cotails
or whatever, but that's, I mean, look back on it.
I don't know how to draw better analogy.
He just kind of started to fight less, did less
and started to be such a major detractor
for what I was trying to do.
It was like, we made it.
You know, you go out there and fight.
I'm just gonna chill here.
I'm gonna go drink and I'm gonna party at night while you're trying to sleep. It was like, we made it. You know, you go out there and fight. I'm just going to chill here. I'm going to go drink and I'm going to party at night while you're
trying to sleep for your training camp. And I'm going to stay up and be loud as fuck downstairs
and not be around, you know, not be there in the ways that were supporting me. So it would
be like, I remember it's been so frustrated. I'm like, I'm trying to sleep. Yeah.
Shut up. You know, he's like downstairs drinking beer and party with his friends. And I'm
like, I was so frustrated that whole camp.
And just the emotional breakdown that you get to a point
where there's so much pressure on you to do one thing.
But then there's just like, just awful pressure
in the relationship too, that's just not working for you.
And like, so there's a factor in mental health.
Yeah, she showed up to my wake up with Amanda,
late and intoxicated.
Hey, you got fire.
You got fire.
I suck at firing people too, but I mean,
people get put in cruise control.
Yeah, it's comfortable.
And it's just like, well, we're comfortable.
And then he brought like a bunch of people with him.
Like, I don't know if you've ever heard of him.
He felt like he was the store.
Yeah, 100%.
Yeah, he brought all these people with him.
It's just toxic.
But then did you suffer from depression before any of this or did that kind of stuff?
So in spouts for sure, but I think I'm a pretty mentally strong person.
So I always would find a way to kind of like go get through it, you know, and I know
understand that depression is for some people can be like, it's just never gone.
For me, it was in parts.
So there wouldn't, it wasn't bad all the time, right?
There's great moments you want to fight.
That's a great moment.
You persevered.
You great moment.
You had a great practice.
You feel good, birthday, you know, whatever you feel good for that moment.
But eventually it just started to consume me. It was like, it was like poison, you know, whatever you feel good for that moment. But eventually it just started to consume me.
It was like, it was like poison, you know?
It was just like I just kept drinking poison until I felt like I was just,
I couldn't do it anymore.
And then was there a point where you're warming up for the fight and the,
in the back there in the, in the locker room, warming up before a big fight?
You're like, what am I doing, man?
Yeah. Absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah. That was the amount of fight fight I felt very flat in that fight.
And then your coaches can notice.
Yeah, for sure.
Because I've had fights when I coach like, what's up with you?
I'm like, I just don't feel like doing this man.
How about that?
Like what?
In fight for care.
Exactly.
I know, I don't feel like doing it right now.
I'm a human man.
I don't feel like doing this right now.
I'm so with you.
You don't have a choice.
I'm like, yeah, I know. Yeah, I don't have a choice. You gotta go through this.
Yep.
I'm with you.
So you feel like that it's a nightmare.
You've been this.
That guy's ready to go.
And it's the biggest fire your life.
But if you get to just push this till tomorrow,
I'd be better.
Like tomorrow I'm probably gonna be feel better.
For right now, I just don't feel like doing this.
I ain't gonna hit it and it's gonna be like,
God, I don't feel like doing this right now.
Yeah, you ever see the lion eat their trainer,
one breaking point?
It's like that.
It's just like, you're just like,
I don't feel like I can do this right now.
I just stop not right now, having a bad day.
It's tough, I mean.
A bad moment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you have stuff for everyone.
Yeah, man, our one, it's just not what,
man and women do with it.
So it was just that specific moment right there,
you're like, I don't want to fucking do this.
For me, it happens.
And then the leader fight and then the roaring else in fight.
And my team could tell, they'd like to come on.
Or even the trash brown when I'm warming up, I was like,
this is it.
Like, no, don't talk to them.
Dude, I'm fucking telling you, this is it, man.
I don't want to do this.
You just felt it.
I was like, I have other shit to do.
Like, well, let's not think about that right now.
I'm like, I know.
I just want you to know before we go, this is right before, we're arguing. I'm like, I want you to know, we will never do this again. Like, well, that's not a thing about that right now. I'm like, I know. I just want you to know before we go, this is right before we're arguing.
I'm like, I want you to know we will never do this again.
Like, no, you're just saying that like, all right, dude.
And we get the back and I'm like, I'm done.
How many times do I, how clear can I make it?
People just think you're emotional in that situation.
Like, when I retired too, it was like, oh,
she's just emotional, but I was really serious about that.
I knew, I knew.
And when it clicks, it clicks.
I knew for fun.
And I didn't, I don't even remember my warm up to be honest with Rekal. I was in serious about that. I knew. I knew. I knew. It clicked.
And I didn't, I don't even remember my warm up to be honest with
Raquel.
I was in such a funk.
I was in such an overwhelming depression at that time.
It's like that time in my life is like, is a blur to be honest with
you.
I don't remember it.
I don't remember very much about any of that.
The week of, like none of it.
I was just, I was just not, I was not even there.
I don't know how to explain it.
And the same thing when I went in the fights, like I wasn't there. And I just, this is why I didn not, I was not even there. I don't know how to explain it. And the same thing when I went in the fights,
like I wasn't there.
And I just, this is why I didn't know I was gonna retire.
People ask me, did you know you were gonna retire
that night?
No, because it had been that way for me so many times
in my fights before where there was a lot of shit
that was going wrong.
Arguments, lack of support, you know,
isolation for my family and things.
I just didn't have the will to battle that anymore.
And eventually I read a reach a point where I was like,
I can't do it anymore, but I didn't realize that until the fight
happened because every time before that,
I was always able to turn it on anyways.
It's overcome no matter what.
Once the date shot, you can do it.
You know, it's just like, you just do it anyways.
Just in spite of this is part of the process.
This is how you get ready and then you get to a point
where you're just, you have nothing left.
And you know it in the fight.
There's not even like nothing to light a match with.
Did you know what I mean?
That's the worst feeling.
100%.
Yeah, in the fight, like immediately.
I was like, yeah, it's the worst.
Yeah, it's the worst.
It's the worst, cause even with crowd,
like I tell them I do, like I'm done, like no, you're not.
Once I get you, you're gonna turn on, like yeah,
you're probably right.
I get and I see his big ass, I'm like, the you're not once I get you You're gonna turn on like yeah, you're probably right I get I see his big ass. I'm who I'm like
The fuck am I doing?
I do not want to do this. Yeah, you're like looking at the what the ladies wear out on the audience
You're like
Wait for you
I remember we were in a clinch up against the cage or whatever and I was like maybe I could just hang on here for the rest
Yeah, I don't get asked me because I remember we were in a clinch up against the cage or whatever and I was like, maybe I could just hang on here for the rest of the night.
I just don't want to do anything.
If she starts hitting me in the face, I'm like, come on, I'm not even doing anything to you.
I was just trying to hang on.
Trying to give you the rest.
You know, and it was just, we, so, I laugh about it now, but at the time, I was like,
this is, that is the worst feeling in the world.
So embarrassing.
No, yes.
It's so embarrassing.
I hear everyone in the clinch with our lost skin.
It's like, we just waste time and still here. Yeah, stay here. And we, and fans are booing. I'm like, I hear everyone in the clenches with our lost men, it's been like, can we just waste time and stay here?
Yeah, stay here.
And we, and fans are booing, I'm like, I don't give a fuck.
Like, I don't get a rat's ass right now.
Let's just stay here, dude.
The coach, how are you gonna do this?
Like, let's just stay here for the five minutes.
No, you gotta be so violent.
This is why I was fucking intense.
It's intense.
It's fucking insane.
No, I was gonna ask, so were you with them until you retired?
No, so broke up like right after the fight with Amanda, which was my second to last fight. I was gonna ask, were you with them until you retired? The whole time.
No, so broke up right after the fight with Amanda,
which was my second to last fight.
Okay.
Yeah, and then try to do kind of just the coaching thing,
but that was, you know, didn't want that.
And so there was a ton of extra pressure
in that department too, you know.
So the wait fully wasn't off your shoulders.
No, not at all.
And it became great this comeback,
because you're not dealing with all that bullshit.
Yeah, that's what I'm so excited about excited. Now you got that mama beer instinct. Yeah, which is a completely different
Fighting for my family, you know, it's different. It's not just me and and
You know, I'm doing it because I really really want to it
I have to obviously put put my needs and desires first and in a way
But you're absolutely right when you have more to just kind of motivate you or to fight for. It's different.
It's different.
It's different.
Yeah.
Absolutely.
And you enjoy being a mom.
Love being a mom.
Yeah.
Mom's being a mom's crazy.
It's the hardest thing I've ever done to be honest.
Like it's every day grind.
I think it's good for fighters and entertainers because as a fighter and entertainer, you're
always like never stop and smile on the road as joys what the next thing the next thing
Yeah, with kids you have to be in the moment present at all times
Yeah, otherwise they're gonna fall in the pool. Yeah, or if I can take a knife to a throw like you got be present
I don't have time to sit and think about my next practice a lot of times
Or why my overthink my fight or my opponent is like I have those dedicated times for that and the rest of time
It's like it's the kids like they come come first, really. But I love it, cause the one thing,
it's so refreshing.
I don't know how I could ever have a bad day
when my daughter, the first, she runs into our room
and she just, mommy, daddy, I had a, I slept one.
I had a dream that I was on the moon.
And I didn't have any blankets and she said,
what about my morning kiss?
And she just, you know, she gets in those hugs
and kisses and it's like, my I'm blessed that's why I want to
I'm so blessed to you but I want to all the love yeah I just want to
want a lot of kids I love them yeah I was born to be a dad I
absolutely love it like yesterday for an hour but by a fireplace they're
playing high and go see guys stayed there and watch them for an hour I can't
believe they're so into this shit my daughter'll chase each other. My daughter loves it.
My son will be old enough soon, I think.
He's starting to walk around with those walker things.
How old is he?
He's 10 months.
So he's getting there.
So he's getting there.
I think around that first birthday and a little off to that, though, actually, be able
to start really playing with each other because right now, they're just, she's almost
three and he's almost one.
You think he's getting there?
Yeah.
And would you want your kids to be fighters?
Would I want them to be?
No.
I want them to go into the field, because obviously
their pop is a fighter.
Their mom is one of the great.
Yeah, no.
I wouldn't pick it because I know it's a hard sport.
It's a hard life.
It's unforgiving.
It's definitely tough.
But if they want to be, I'll support them and I'll just
do my best to make sure that they're the best.
And the safest they can be. All I want just do my best to make sure that they're the best. Yeah.
And the safest they can be, you know, that's all that, all I want for my children is to
have big dreams.
I want them to not set limitations on themselves and I want them to go for whatever it is that's
their heart on fire.
That's the thing is a parent, I just want them to be passionate about something.
I don't give a fuck with video games or music, whatever it is.
I feel like you find your passion run with that. It's not human nature to not be passionate. I don't believe anyways. I feel like, just find your passion, run with that.
It's not human nature to not be passionate.
I don't believe anyways.
I think it's human nature to be passionate.
I did think that it's also human nature
to second guess yourself though and not go for it.
To be too timid to go for what you're passionate.
But I'd say most people are too timid
and are too scared to fail.
I don't want to like do the same.
But you're always gonna have it
is something that you just love
or gravitate towards to me, that's passion. But people just don't feed into that sometimes. I'm scared like no, what if I you know
And they don't go in the youtube commuters right there were a never too scared to chase their dreams
So they go for people that you would meet exactly
Let's do some kind of anchechan before we go there. Let me ask you a question
Meet to crease the shields right great. So shields. Yeah, we call it Team Rex.
All right, T-Rex is one of she won Dipper Toes in the UFC because she says she is no competition in boxing.
How do you feel about that? No, she can't answer this for you. Yeah, me show it be the shit out of your girl of Polaris
The shields she would take her down and choke her out. She got a nice one. I don't care
You've never seen me. She'll fight. I see you take her down and choke her out. She got a nice one too. I don't care, dude. You've never seen me in your fight.
I see you take her down and choke her out.
Talk her down?
Yeah.
Well, it's uneven, because you know,
I'm looking at you great body, great form.
She easy.
She's, she's both though.
Yeah, but you gotta know how to use that weight.
That's what matters.
Like, it's a different ball game
and different like range for boxing.
But, you know, they're not used to having to deal
with somebody grabbing them and putting them in places they don't want.
The referee always steps in and breaks them.
The difference.
The difference too.
Like you'll see, for example, Connor when he fought, doesn't play this last one, he lost
with the leg kicks.
He's been so heavy in the boxing.
He was so heavy on his feet.
Forgot.
Oh, dude, we just don't box here.
And so the distance is different.
Even Connor who's a master mixed martial arts
He's been so focused on boxing. He figured about the legs lost leg kicks
So it Clarissa she's never fought before. I'm sure she's gonna get to the UFC
Hopefully they do it right and if they start tossing they're not gonna give her a girl like me should take right away
I don't give her like someone like what yeah, but if that she should run into I mean
Yeah, but if actually she's gonna run into I mean she's starting off in the PFL right yeah, yeah
Which is great and some poor girl who think she's a striker's gonna get her fucking face knocked off
Because I want to be on in her punches. She beat everybody up in it. She's a formation. Yeah, yeah, she's a monster Oh, yeah, she's definitely a hard hit her. I think she will make a great transition to Emma maybe because she's you know
She's very ultra aggressive and she's a good athlete. She's good instincts, you know, so when you start teaching her the right things, I think she'll,
she'll pick it up fast, you know, she's a big strong woman. But I think, I mean, I would say 9.9
times out of 10, like a MMA fighter will destroy a straight boxer, like almost all MMA fighters.
All the time. This is so many different ways. Yeah, so many different. Boxing is such a small part of what we do.
And even everything that works for boxing doesn't work for MMA.
So it's not even like the best boxer in the world can just come over and not worry about
getting kicked in the head.
Like they can't slip a punch like that.
Like they do in boxing a role and they get neat in the face.
Like it just doesn't work.
Or even you seem out their gloves like boxers cover up like this.
You cover up like this and MMA with those small gloves
Even if I'm hitting you it's still it's gonna be sad. Yeah, it's not bad
It's not bad and it'll and those those punches will slip through somewhere like even if you're blocked here
They're coming in the middle if you're blocked here. They're they're they're gonna each on the side
This is just a bit of a different animal. Yeah, the range is to totally totally different. I just got so much insight
I just got so much insight. But I'm a big fan of hers though.
I love her.
I love her.
I do think she's gonna come over and make some huge waves.
And if she can, I know she's working on the Jackson.
So with her athletic ability and the way she picks things up,
if she does get that sprawling brawl down, it's gonna be problems.
So you see her as a striker and a grappler?
Do you see her as a striker?
She's not a grappler.
It's just not in her wheelhouse.
No. She's always gonna be predominantly striker
Yeah, she just needs to learn how to sprawl and brawl. Yeah, she's gonna be chuckled out
She's gonna learn how to prevent the prevent the takedown to god and if she does
Dude it's problems. Yeah, this is my first time here in like the incident because I've never heard you really talk about your
Fighting like I really stay away from him. Yeah, yeah, food trucker.
No, it was it was pretty cool like hearing like the back and forth like that.
And I'm like, oh shit, this world is intense.
I didn't know it's just the world.
And I don't think it's real as how much be she is.
Yeah, yeah.
So I'm out of go to it.
Yeah, 100%.
I saw it.
I saw it with Holly Holmes.
I was like, get up, Holly.
Is this your room for Holly?
You son of a bitch. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, frickin supplements, man.

there was a little bit of controversy yesterday the night before because
there were several celebrities who came out who are mutual for who were
friends of his saying r i p. were so sorry you're gone but his
family hadn't announced anything yet and so they actually pulled it down I
think it was the it was K. Launy it was Lunelle they posted R.I.P. like DMX is
gone they pulled that post down very quickly just out of respect for the
family I think they wanted to wait for the family.
Yeah, because the family hadn't confirmed anything.
And there was, I believe it was his manager of the past three years came out and said,
hey, he's actually still alive.
He is currently on life support, but his organs are deteriorating and kind of starting to
give up on him.
Sorry, now we're kind of trying to decide what to do with it.
It was from an overdose. It was from an overdose.
It was from an overdose.

former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former former� former� former�� So heartwarming stories. Former NFL player, Philip Adams,
killed five people and then killed himself.
Yeah, and so the backstory here,
he played in the NFL, he's kind of like a journeyman,
the NFL bands around six different teams.
And then the doctor, he killed,
the doctor took him off medication and wouldn't refill his medication.
So he went basically crazy and then went to the house,
shot both of the guys work on the
AC unit makes no sense they had nothing to do with it and then shot the grandfather
the grandmother and the two grandchildren and then killed himself but not the doctor
the grandfather was the doctor the grandfather was the doctor but because he couldn't
get his medical not that I think he went crazy yeah was he seven for CTE they're gonna
blame it on that,
but it sounds like he was just a fuck an idiot
and then had needed this medication.
That's the health issue.
His dad did say like football messed him up.
Yes, I think they were, I'm gonna go to that every time,
but also you know how many football players played football
and aren't pieces of shit like this?
Are you talking about these certain people?
Like the odds are you can be fine playing football
or fighting, but there are some outliers,
but my problem is this is, oh, CT, no, no,
you can't just be a piece of shit.
And maybe he was off to medication again.
He wasn't in his, he wasn't in his,
but I also think there might be a time
when we start to understand mental health
and a whole different level of it.
Because I think we look at it like we think we understand,
but I just think we might start to understand the science panel.
For instance, you know how barbaric I feel like
sea world and like captivating those animals
and the shit like that is, you start to understand
like how in depth they are, it's gonna look like,
it's gonna look worse I think in the future
as we start to even understand more so.
And I think the same thing with mental health,
I think as if we really can start to understand
what's actually going on in someone's brain,
like what's really going on in there.
Like, we all look at it like level head
and it'd be like, oh, it's a piece of shit.
I'm not saying it's not, I'm definitely not making it.
And they argue me for him,
but if we start to maybe really understand it,
I'd be like, holy shit, be able to look in someone's brain,
like that's what your brain's doing.
And like, that's what their brain's doing, like, whoa.
Like maybe you know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah. Didn't you look at Robin Williams' brain? Yes, like, whoa. Like maybe, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah.
Didn't you look at Robin Williams' brain?
Yes.
Right, and it's used a bunch of wild things up in there.
Yeah.
And then it's like something that's like,
certain areas get like atrophied, you know,
that don't get, yeah, so like it can throw off
all your hormone production.
But also, that can make you crazy.
I'm not saying it can make like you like that,
but I mean, maybe.
I mean, off your meds, you don't know
how a person will react.
Yeah, and not even like just a meds,
just like how is, what is going on in his brain?
Like how do we help people in that situation?
Like I don't know, I don't know.
I think there will come a point
when we start to understand it
on a whole different level.
And we really make people.
Well, they even think we're like the way we treat prisoners.
Like the way you just put them, you know,
put them solitary confinement stuff like that. The thing you like 30 years when I look back the way we treat prison, like the way you just put them, you know, we put them solitary confinement stuff like that.
They think you like 30 years
when you look back, the way we treat prison,
like what the fuck are we doing?
Cause you're not, prison was supposed to be
for rehabilitation.
No one's being rehabilitated.
They're going fucking crazy
and they're worse when they get out.
So obviously it's not working,
but it's making the state a ton of money
so they keep on people in.
So it's crazy.
But I think the biggest thing with mental illness
that they're gonna find in Probably 10 years is cell phone
Social media and the way it affects the younger population. That's why it's a drug
But the bullying on it. Yeah, it's a long as I can but it's really tough because it's very dictating
It's like then you have to be the example to you can't be on it
But our lives are dictated by this too. I'm like no, I'm addicted to my phone too
I try to moderate but there's so much I have to do on my phone
and then you just sucked into it.
It's like a black hole.
They call the cell phones a new cigarette.
Well, they said iPhones are gonna come with that warning,
like a cigarette saying this is an addictive product eventually.
Oh, shit, yeah.
It makes sense, it won't matter.
Well, to think of a thing, I'll discipline you.
They take Joe Rogan, for example,
one of the most disciplined people you know,
even Hillin' made it, he's addicted to his phone this like the most disappointed people you know and they're addicted that thing
It's a fucking problem. Yeah
You have to be a real beast
The thing about is though is that there's no like see how I'm all my stuff pulled up even right?
It's like I'm ready to go you ever notice like sometimes you pull up your phone and you're going to do something and then like you see your Instagram and you just have to you just have you just do it like I you don't even mean to like I'm ready to go. You ever notice like sometimes you pull up your phone and you're going to do something and then like you see
your Instagram and you just have to,
you just do it like, you don't even mean to.
Like I'm like, why am I not that way?
You're brain works is in the way they set up social media
with Twitter and Instagram, it's a dopamine that's released
when you see mentions or comments stuff like this is a dopamine.
So naturally your body likes that feeling.
So it goes to that.
Right.
But then you expend way too much,
you don't have a left for like your kids,
you know, your kids do something cute and you're like,
I mean, that's a problem, right?
I mean, I'm, I think that happens very much to me.
It's not a problem for me because I really don't fuck with it.
At all, I post, I get out.
I post what I need, I get out.
That's amazing.
I don't see anything.
So I have no idea what you've been up to,
I have no idea if they post something dope I don't find out fight announcements
So I'm like at Starbucks and a fan like dude. Do you hear me? She's back. That's how I found out Starbucks
Why are you find out about all this stuff? What do you mean? You were like she's like have you heard about this story?
We were all like you know what you're like I did
Well, I did you know not world star I read news like if I'm if I'm on my phone. I'm reading right
I'm not a social thing is like it just I don Well, that's the thing is like it just, I don't know, it just still like,
feel like it just sucks me in.
I was like that forever.
It took me.
And then you just, yeah, you had to be disciplined.
I'm mad, I'm gonna add it because, you know,
every Sunday they give you like the hours and stuff,
how much you spend.
Oh, it tells you exactly what you're doing.
You boys are on your phone.
When we go on the road, you go to the green room,
everyone's next.
I journal a lot.
Not in the green room.
I text. I know time.
No, in my note, you haven't read my notes.
You journal, you journal when we're on the road in the green room, bro, in my notes.
That's how I get to my journal.
I journal down all my thoughts.
Have you ever seen this man?
I've never seen you.
Are you looking at my notes?
Are you looking at my phone?
Have you ever seen my phone?
I promise you, you want to read my notes? No, I'll see seen this man. Are you looking at my nose? Are you looking at my phone? Have you ever seen my phone? I've never seen my phone.
I promise you, you want to read my note?
No, I'll see you one time.
I'll see him on his phone, looking at nosy-out, both do it.
Well, you're talking about my stand-up notes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're telling me you're not an Instagram in the green room.
I don't fuck with Instagram like this.
Get the fuck out.
I was in the Bronx, I'd be with you, but goddamn.
I do fuck with Instagram, but a lot of times, yeah,
a lot of this just notes that I drop
and I take it to my journal.
We're in Naples next week.
On Saturday, we'll look at your phone
and say what you've been doing.
Okay.
We'll check that.
Because I collect it whenever I go and wrote,
I collect all my things.
I'm like not being on this phone. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no So, so what kind of content do you post on there? On your social media? On your social media? On your social media?

On your social media?
On your social media? On your social media? On your social media? On your social media? On your social media? I don't view it. I literally post and get out. I used to follow people and that's how I'd keep up
my friends who don't live here.
So I'm like, that right now, I should call them
like a normal fucking human being.
People understand how hard that is.
So what do you do?
What do you do for your downtime?
Because that's like my guilty pleasure
and I like I'll go and yell.
So just surf on Instagram or whatever.
You know, I want the kids to sleep for a little bit.
What do you do then?
Read a book.
Either read or I'm with my kid.
Like when I walk in the door, it's game on.
For sure, but like once the kids are asleep,
watch TV, you might go watch TV.
You don't watch TV, I don't really like.
Yeah, there you go.
So if you're just sitting around, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah.
This is a good TV show though, please.
It's a lot of great.
I have nothing right now.
I've watched everything.
Maybe I'm gonna go snowfall.
Have you watched the handmade stale?
I have.
Oh, that's good.
That's a good one.
That's not something.
I like that one anyways.
It's on Rulu.
Yeah, it's good though.
It's really good.
I mean, I really liked it.
I don't get that much into shows or whatever, but I mean, that's one.
It's really good.
Huge show, huge show.
I want to all the awards.
It's because it's too close to being real.
Agree. It's scary. I used to be like,. All right, what else can I do? This could be, this too, like, close to, like, being real. Agree.
It's scary.
I used to be depressed.
I like to finish an episode.
I'm like, God, I'm fucking sad.
What is it about now?
It's this society where women are basically slave, basically,
and they have to wear these suits, and then these things.
In a section of the US, like, this religious cult
essentially took it over, and infertility is, like, spreading everywhere, like, so cult essentially took it over and infertility is like spreading
everywhere, like so many people cannot have kids.
So a women who have been able to have kids or do have kids, they were abducted and pulled
into this colony to be vessels for these high up religious people to have children.
So like they impregnate them in this weird ritual, like ritualistic religious ceremony.
And then once they have the kids then it's like
they just kind of dispensable and they just take the baby and they're kind of like slaves
so they make them work and do all this stuff.
Yeah.
It's what news I'm trying to do with that.
It's weird but it's so much just like.
I think you got that one.
I think I like it.
I think I like it.
I would eat that.
I like how you brought that back.
So a bunch of Ukrainian women were in Dubai vacationing
and they all were setting up a photo shoot
where they were all naked on like a balcony of a table.
Are they from Dubai or they're just gonna
block that blue there for this?
No, they are from the Ukraine.
They flew to Dubai to I guess party vacation
and they all got naked on this balcony.
And a bunch of people from the like,
neighboring building saw, and it's super conservative
and you're supposed to cover up,
you're not supposed to like show skin.
You cannot play that game yet.
They actually found a few of those women's Instagrams
because one of the women have like a huge side tattoo
on her thigh.
Oh, wow, my God.
And they all got deported and arrested for that.
Whoa.
Now listen, now here's the thing. This is disgusted a little bit. And they all got deported and arrested for that
Now here's the thing
What that's hard to do with all those
Before the winter says a flat out
They're all Jenny just fucking do it Brendan Brendan, all booties matter, okay?
Yeah.
Jenny just take the fucking pictures.
He's one that needs to have ruffle underwear, you know?
Yeah.
The one that like, rutsches up your ass crap.
What?
Jesus.
Yeah, there's like a special type of underwear
that'll make flatter booties look bigger
and it's by like getting up into the crap.
There's also workout pants.
Number five was ready.
She was ready. Number five. Number five was ready. She was ready.
Number five.
Number five.
So are they in prison now?
They got arrested and I think I believe most of them
have already been deported, but they're trying to figure out
who every single one of those women were.
They found 11 of the, I think, 20 something.
You're back to Ukraine, girls.
This is one of the first models that were actually
deported because of her tattoo. They were able to find it. I think they're doing that Ukraine girls. This is one of the first models that were actually deported because of her tattoo.
They were able to find it.
I think they're doing that thing where they found this girl
and then they're going through Instagram to find
the other one.
Who's playing the piano?
Yeah, there's one man in the group.
They were arrested for public debauchery
and creating porn.
Was he, was he a restitute?
No.
I don't know.
That's a great point.
I just played the piano.
Probably. They don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I'm in there.
kind of fucked. Yeah. Dubai doesn't. Dubai does not fuck around. No. No, no, what you're
doing, man. Man. Isn't it crazy? Some said what some women can do with their Instagram
though, like how they can like pose and look on it. See me in real life. And you're like,
you're like, what happened to different people on it? You see him in real life and you're like, you're like, what happened? You're like, what happened? Two different people on it.
You're like, what the hell is that?
Like a minute.
Yeah, what?
Cool.
I'm weird.
That's sort of fucking with the filters.
It's not like, oh, you don't really look like that.
You saw that filter Joe Rogan did on?
His or his daughter did on.
Oh, yeah.
He literally was like a woman.
And he was like, like fairly attractive.
Like, you know, he's like, I was like,
Joe Rogan.
That's crazy.
Some of these filters.
That's insanity.
Chloe Kardashian got in trouble for a body filter recently.
I guess they created new technology
where they will do a filter even on your body.
Yeah, it'll like, yeah, it'll wait.
Like, say that, say that, say that.
I'm alone now.
I can use that, they'll take that picture as soon.
Women are kind of,
women are kind of caught in this weird dilemma though,
with like, with like their makeup and stuff
because I see some women is like wearing so much makeup
and they look so perfect on their Instagram.
But you see it in person and you're like,
that is not like that.
You guys like that when women wear like a lot of makeup.
It's given off the wrong impression for girls too
because although the show's called
keeping up with the Kardashians, it's like yeah,
everyone's trying to keep up with the Kardashians
but that's not real.
And also like how Chloe's mad at that one
that wasn't filtered. she doesn't look bad.
And now she's getting all the sympathy
where like girl good for you for speaking your truth.
It's like why does she impose the fucking filter?
That's nuts.
Yeah, I think she came out yesterday with the poster.
Maybe two days ago saying that she was always known
as being like the ugly fat Kardashian. And so she wanted to be a lot of things. She was always known as being like the ugly fat card as she in and so she wanted to be very protective
of the way she's putting out her image now
and that she is having the standard
thrusted upon.
And I love that she goes, but she's the one
who does that.
She goes, this is me and this is in Photoshop.
Yeah, it is.
Now that's that's Kim right here.
No, it's not.
That's Chloe.
That's Chloe.
Oh my. See how the title says Chloe Kardashian. Wait, that's not. That's Chloe. That's Chloe. Oh my.
See how the title says Chloe Kardashian.
Wait, what is it?
Why you see it?
That's girl up, Jen.
Chloe Kardashian.
So she goes, this is me and it's not Photoshop.
Dude, her body's ridiculous.
See.
Now are those abs sprayed on?
Yeah, they have to.
So this isn't really her.
But it gives girls like in high school or college who are trying to keep up with the
Kardashians.
It gives them this fucking false sense of reality.
Like that ain't real, man.
This is also the live video that she got in trouble for because she went on live to prove
that like her body looks like this.
But there's a split second where the filter kind of comes off and you see a little bulge
jump out and then come back in.
Where, where, where.
Mia Khalifa actually caught it, posted about it and put Chloe Kardashian on blasting.
Like you're trying to make it seem like this is your body
You have this perfect body and you're proud of it, but you put a filter over your life
Miss me a clea if I took that post you can
You can
If filter on a video on a lie now you can yeah, wow, it's unhealthy. Yeah
Well, not only that but I'm sure that there's been, you know, they, I don't think there's any
secret that the Kardashians have done like a lot, like surgically, too, absolutely.
Which is, I mean, it's fine, like if you want to do it or whatever you know, but I'm
not against it, you know?
Yeah.
But I just think it's like kind of crazy that the standard, like, you know, the filters,
you know, all these things is like, I really look nicer in person.
So like, I wear like a tinted moisturizer
and I'm like, I don't probably look that great
on my Instagram, sorry guys.
But like I would rather wear like something
where you don't let's see me.
And you're like, yeah, she got on her face.
So.
Well, she got gin.
Does it for yours right, Kat?
Is it?
Oh, no, there's one more.
One more.
There you go.
Okay, so there is a video of a giant lizard. I believe it's over in Thailand. your strike cut. Is it? Oh no, there's one more. One more. There you go.
Okay, so there is a video of a giant lizard, I believe it's over in Thailand.
It walked into a 7-11 searching for food and it's running a walk.
Oh, my son saw this.
We just watched Godzilla and he goes, Dad, is that a baby Godzilla?
I'm basically doing it.
Basically, look out.
He's so fucking big. I know
That's your 7-11
Wait for it to leave yeah wait for me. Yeah, he's eating all the snacks
Yeah, hopefully didn't fall to the fuck did it is how long does those live for like how old could that be?
They're so big. Oh like could they live like they live like a hundred years or something
They live a while seems like they would do a long time. They're awesome. He's probably pissed
He's probably like you built this 7-Eleven on my
Yeah, my land like this is my my domain. I was here before you
It's not second-lawed. It's a problem people always encroaching on it, you know on all the animals land
It's like what do you expect then of course course, a coover is going to come eat your kid. You built a house right in the mountain.
What does she have, Jen?
This right here, some person was able to sneak onto the USC football team for a day,
go into the jacuzzi with the players, put on a jersey, actually play on the field.
What?
Yeah.
Another player's like, who the fuck is he?
It's a security guard afterwards.
I'll show you the list of everything you did
I get the Fulball Nation building drama case center mixes and so what I know we realized he's a poster in the
Jocuzzi into the jacuzzi sits in the jacuzzi other players. They don't get suspicious dumbasses grabs a meal
Nobody realized something is off grabs a jersey in a helmet gets dressed for practice makes on the field
Starts feeling gets dressed for practice, makes on the field, starts feeling puss, and a football scuffer,
fun, really, some guys living out of his dream.
Time move, right?
So funny.
Yeah.
I think that's dope.
They're saying that school should probably hire him
to make sure no one else could breach the school.
Because you know how to do it.
Yeah.
The school isn't that hard to breach, though, to be fair.
It's USC.
Especially right now, yeah.
USC is not a hard breach.
That's interesting it's
surprising that no one else saw him was like who is that guy though well if you look at the
puck the the kicker and I'm like oh man we're on a team there's a 120 guys and 220 guys we knew
everybody yeah did yeah man we we had a crazy guy come to the break in the locker room one time and
he was looking for like crack and he started like trying to he's telling us he had to AIDS and try to attack in the the players
What would you don't want to do is in the the corner that he went into this like eight in the morning
The corner that he went to where all the guys from like the fifth ward in Houston. We're like
real hard
Fuckin court is like Lawrence Vickers Mark Fetton. So these boys, you know, they lit this dude. Oh, yeah.
Damn.
I'll try to sneak on.
I'll try to do it.
Yeah, you don't want to sneak in a full bouton.
Especially to do.
Everyone knows each other.
It's not like I can.
Oh, oh, oh.
I'm Bradley from Orange County.
I'm new to the team.
Not bitch.
What?
No, we all know it's Bradley from Orange County.
What else you got, Jen?
This way, the Lil Nas X lawsuit.
So it's been settled, and I guess they're saying
that all the shoes, even the ones that are sold,
they need to be bought, like, returned.
Dude, there's someone who's gonna keep them
and they're gonna be worth so much money.
Yes.
Who's gonna return them?
You send that, they go up like,
I just like, oh, I lost something,
you see me hot in the streets,
fucking rockin' those things.
I bet you there worth hundreds of thousand dollars.
It's gonna be super expensive, but that's all that happens.
So as a part of the summit, Nike says anyone
who doesn't return their shoes for a full refund,
will have to contact Ms. Jeff if they encounter
a product issue defect or health concern.
So basically they're just not responsible
if something happens to them.
Yeah, Nike, that's what I'm talking about.
So no one's gonna ever throw it on for so much money.
Technically they can keep it.
Yeah.
They can all keep it on the box anyway.
Do those are gonna be the most sought after shoes. Yeah, red
October's. That's not red October. I don't know the
road. I was I know I'm gonna the Kanye West Joyce the
Yeezy's the red October's the so Kanye before Diaz was with
with Nike and his red October's go for I don't know 15
grand. Look at that. Those are right there. 14 grand. Those are the
red October. I've never wear those those you're never wear. I would
Would sleep in those what's he posted?
I heard
I'm the right October I've never claimed to be a sneak ahead these are fans
Red October, I've never claimed to be a sneakhead. These are fans.
Oh, it's like what do you think?
You ain't a second.
Oh, it's flexible.
F checks on.
Yeah, those checks are dope.
These are too big for me, like way too big, but.
It's like, it's all the way.
It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like,
how was the fashion in Singapore?
I don't know, I mean, it's like mixed.
Really?
We wear suits a lot.
It's like, I just kind of like walking around in New York.
Yeah.
It's like there's just a, you know, business.
Yeah.
At least we're relived anyways, because we were right down in the city.
I think a lot of people looked at me strange, because I probably look like a bum.
I just walk around with my messy hair and like my, my, my, my gymwear.
I'd be like running by people in their suits and be like, but they're very judgey over
there anyways. I don't care.
All righty. So this city, if,
Plymouth is asking residents, if they see people with their dogs that don't care. All righty. So the city, if Plymouth is asking residents
if they see people with their dogs
that don't pick up their poop to call 911.
Crime must not be very high at their house.
We're city of Plymouth.
Minnesota.
Minnesota.
All right, Minnesota.
Yeah, I like going on in there right now.
No, they have nothing going on.
They got the drum. that's a Minneapolis.
All right, and this is called 911.
Yeah, if you see someone not picking up their dogs poop.
911 911.
911. I guess it gets crazy.
Like another cop's like, I'm on my way.
I don't know. All right. Yeah.
I just want you. We talked about this before, this monkey that has a neural link chip put in its brain.
So check this out.
I'll play real quick.
So that monkey is getting bananas fed to him
whenever he's following that little pattern, right?
Is he joystick there?
He needs to react with shit.
Right, but then what's crazy about it is,
it looks plugged in now, but now it's not plugged in.
