but you will thank me later when you get on those rose sparks.
Let's go.
What's up, guys?
It's Wednesday, August 20th,
and welcome to a brand new episode.
here at DCTV presented by Total Wireless,
the official wireless provider of UFC.
They're in your corner with unlimited 5G data
that will not slow you down.
So it's a bit of a head scratcher.
It's a bit of a head scratcher.
I'm being completely honest.
And I got to tell you, look, I try to be honest with you guys.
I kind of got skin in the game.
I kind of got skin in the game.
I, at times, will partner with companies like Netflix
to help promote a fight.
I'm pulling the curtain back for y'all.
With that being said,
I still will always give an opinion on said fights.
Netflix is in the business of making big fights,
bigger fights, big events,
things that millions of people tune into.
One of the ways that they do that is they roll out Jake Paul.
They rolled out Jake Paul against Mike Tyson.
It broke Netflix.
Jake Paul fought with Tyron Woodley twice.
Big numbers.
Jake Paul fought against Tommy Fury, big numbers.
Jake Paul, who I believe, and I have told you guys this time and time again,
he's much better than people give him credit for.
One, Jake Paul is not an amateur fighter, like some try to say.
Jake Paul has money, so Jake Paul is getting trained by the best boxing coaches that money can buy.
He's full-time boxing.
There are a lot of people that say he may do some other stuff.
I don't know who he was going to fight that was saying that he was on,
he was juiced up and he was ignoring him.
Or was it Logan Paul?
One of them.
But at the end of the day,
this kid's training to be the best fight in the world or the best as he can be.
And he understands what losing would do to the perception of who he is in fighting.
We were yelling so much about him fighting something.
someone fight somebody your size fight somebody a real boxer stop fighting m ms guys there were so many
things that people were mad about in regards to his level of competition and the people he was
competing against well today we learned that jake paul has his next opponent his next opponent is
by far the most credentialed guy actively many i want to jump down my throat say well mike tyson is
He's the most credentialed guy he's ever fought actively in his prime.
There's one problem.
He fights at 135 pounds.
Netflix announced publicly.
Jake Paul made it official.
Jake Paul is fighting Gervante Tank Davis.
Hmm.
I'm all for fun fights.
I'm all for big events.
I will talk about what the fight entails.
I don't think for one second that Gervante Davis and James,
and Jake Paul in a boxing match is a complete mismatch
on the side of Giovante Davis.
Jervante Davis is that much better than Jake Paul at boxing.
He is.
He is.
But Javante Davis in his last fight weighed 133.8 pounds
when Jake Paul fought Mike Tyson.
He weighed 199.9.4 pounds.
He was supposed to fight Anthony Joshua.
That's what we heard.
He was calling on Anthony Joshua.
I don't know what happened.
And I'm not over here in the business
and just crapping on Jake Paul.
Because whereas in the beginning of this thing,
I did not have much respect for Jake Paul
and what he's done in boxing,
but today I am much more respectful
of what he's starting to build
as a professional boxer.
I respect Jake Paul today.
I respect the work that he's done.
I respect how he's promoted fights.
I respect what he's done to build his name,
to the point that Netflix always wants to be in business with him.
I don't know that I can look at this one and go,
well, I respect that he's fighting the guy that's better than him.
I just don't know that means he's so much bigger.
It's actually kind of crazy.
It's so much bigger.
All right, guys, it's the best time of the year.

Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what?
We have some big news.
What's the news, new?
Huge news.
We created our own podcast.
called Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to a...
We're the first people to do podcasts.
Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how did we actually come up with a name,
Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it
one of the early names of our band.
Before Jonas Brothers...
This is how you guys remember.
it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory
of this. We were talking about a thing,
a bit for the podcast, where people could call in
and say, hey, Jonas, and then I
wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
and offered it up as a potential
title for the podcast. But thanks for
remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas
on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis,
and I know firsthand because I competed there.
myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything
happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay.
Genschen went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted.
She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.
Listen, Lena Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win
on any surface, because if she's serving, well, good luck.
Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Hey, I'm Jared Adano.
You might know me as that loud guy who yells out, help on the internet.
Help!
Somebody!
Please!
But there's so much more to me than me.
I'm an actor.
I'm a comedian.
And recently, I've become quite the helper myself.
And on my new podcast, Hope from a Hippocrite, I'll be changing lives,
helping people in need with my sage advice and thoughtful solutions.
Sike, I'm a comedian.
I'm not qualified to give good advice.
Join me and my comedian friends as we riff rant and recommend some of the most legally dubious advice known to man.
If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice.
One ring is too scary.
Oh, cream of chicken suit.
Hey, cream.
Cream of chicken soup.
This is Help from a Hypocrite,
the worst advice from the dumbest people you know.

So, on Twitter, Jake said,
Giovante has been disrespected my name for a long time.
His nickname might be tank,
but I'm an FPV drone,
and I'm about to disable Tiny Boy.
Yes, he's one of the top pom-fond boxes in the world,
but my motto is,
won anytime, any place against all odds.
And I like my odds.
First, I'm going to kill David.
Then I will go and slaughter Goliath.
So essentially, I guess he's saying he's beating tank, who's David?
Then he will go and fight Anthony Joshua, who is Goliah.
It's hard for me.
This one's hard for me.
Because I just don't know where you, where you come up with these two names.
My group messenger guys, all the guys from Cornier's Corner love boxing.
these dudes are like, I don't know, man, I can't get behind this one.
Even them who have loved and lived boxing for so long.
But Jake Paul is fighting Giovante in Atlanta, Georgia on November 14th, on Netflix.
So it's obviously big business, but do you tap into it?
Do you watch it?
Do you see if Giovante Davis can beat him?
Because here's where it gets a tad bit interesting.
I don't know if I saw a guy like Islam or Ilya or Kabib or Volk.
I don't know if I'm a Rob DeWalish Willie who's 1 35 pound fighter.
I don't know if I don't put them in with welter weights at times and light heavy weights
and I always would just count them out.
There are some guys they can beat.
That's why when the UFC started, there was no weight class,
and it wasn't just the biggest guy won every time.
So in that regard, maybe, maybe,
Dervante Davis, who's the better boxer, find success.
But if you're wagering bets, I don't know.
When Louise told me, I swear to God,
I was on a plane coming home from Las Vegas,
when Luis told me, hey, some news broke while you were on
plane.
Jervante Davis is fighting Jake Paul.
I said, get the bleep out of here.
I said, you're a bleep liar.
I'm on the airplane loud telling him he's a liar.
I just couldn't believe it.
It's not something that you put together piece it together that a guy that fought
at 205 is going to fight a guy that fights at 135.
But imagine this, though.
And this is where it interests me.
You're fighting a guy that's better than you.
He's just much smaller.
But that guy because he's better than you, what if he went?
What if he wins?
Jervante Davis wins this fight.
Everything Jake Paul is done is wiped completely out.
Javante Davis loses to Jake Paul.
Obviously is going to hurt who Javante Davis is.
He's one of the best pounds from all fighters in the world.
But he lost to a guy that's going to be upwards of 70 pounds bigger than him
when he steps into the boxing room.
Unless Jake Paul has to come down to a certain contracted weight,
which I don't know.
that he would agree to it.
For me, it's interesting, though,
because there's got to be something to what he is as a draw
in terms of money or what he can provide these guys
in terms of financials for them to be taking these fights.
Floyd Mayweather fought his brother, Floyd.
And now Gervante Davis is fighting Jake Paul.
It's to me crazy, but I will tell you this right now
without a shadow of a doubt.
I will watch this.
I stayed up until 2 in the morning
watching Jake fight Mike Tyson.
I will watch this.
I will do this again because it interests me.
It interests me in the way of can.
Hey, he used a David versus Goliath, uh, comp.
That's the other way around.
But David is more skilled.
David is the guy that has been trained in the US Olympic system.
David is the world champion.
David is the guy that has fought the best competition.
out there in the world.
It's crazy, man.
It's a crazy fight.
News that I never would have expected.
But I'm telling you right now,
Jake Paul is fighting Gervante Tank Davis
on November 14th in Atlanta, Georgia.
There's some danger in that, man.
There's some danger for Jake Paul.
Less for Gervante, but there's some real danger in that fight.
Imagine if Gervante Davis knocks his dude out.
people would go absolutely crazy.
But Jake knows, right?
Because Jake knows how many are rooting for him to get beat.
This kid's not stupid.
Everything he does, it's done with an idea of how he would handle if things go bad.
So he's taking all that into consideration when he took this fight against Jervante Davis.
Unbelievable, guys, unbelievable.
Hey, UFC 319 was an overwhelming success.
I love you guys so much.
for tapping into Hamza to DDP to the post fight reactions so many things guys last week two
million views across our YouTube channel two and a half million views across my socials
and over a million views on TikTok crazy that you guys have been supporting at that level
and if you aren't following the TikTok go follow to daniel cormier tv tic talk we have a whole
bunch of interesting things there i mean but hey tank davis is 30 zero in one
You want to talk about Jake Paul fighting the real boxer?
That's a real boxer.
Unfortunately, he's seven weight classes below him.
You can't make this stuff up, man.
It's true.
They're fighting.
Until next time, guys, like and subscribe.
Tell your friends about my YouTube channel
and tell him to tap in with the boy, D.C.
Until next time.
