Starting point is 00:00:00 but with music I'm not even remotely musical so I could just fully appreciate it you know so like watching that show I mean that was a there's something about watching like a live show like that watching some badass musicians get up and fuck around together like that it's like damn like this is this is some this is a very special feeling that you guys can put out there you know very special party appreciation performance feeling. You know, that's an unusual vibe, man. The vibe that you guys put out that night.
Starting point is 00:00:30 That was fucking fun. It was a good time. Go back up. Go back up? Yeah. No, it was a real good time, man. That was totally. In fact, it was one of you.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Either you or Dana that were like, yo, they're calling you. Because I was so drunk. I was just in my own conversation. Yeah, they were on stage calling you. I was like, yo, have I lost? I was like, yo, they're calling you. Because I was so drunk. I was just in my own conversation. Yeah, they were on stage calling you. I was like, yo, Everlast. I was like, what? Yeah. And folks, when I tell you, he went up with no preparation.
Starting point is 00:00:52 I mean, from walking up to the stage, you had a drink in your hand still. You're like, we're going to do what it's like? Yeah. Let's do this shit. You all ready? You all ready? And there was no warming up. You just went right into it and nailed it.
Starting point is 00:01:03 That was beautiful, man. That was a real moment. I think the liquor helped everybody yeah it did and it did in a good way man there's something about liquor man look i know it accelerates the aging process i know it's one step closer to the grave but i swear to god it makes the days a little more fun you know what's wrong with it it makes some nighttime experiences a lot more interesting. People get crazy. I have great stories. They can't tell me. Can't tell me I don't have some awesome memories.
Starting point is 00:01:31 You know, it's not all bad. And when you can perform like that, boom, and you think you could just say, I think the liquor helped me. Liquor and the reefer. But then whatever the fuck helped you, that's a good thing. That has to be a good thing. I ain't mad about it.
Starting point is 00:01:41 It has to be a good thing. It's one of the art forms I can really truly appreciate. I think it was the least I could have done. I think the hard rock flew me out there, put me up. Not even on the promise. I didn't sign no contracts. I was just there to go to the fight. They liked when I'd stay there.
Starting point is 00:01:56 They always treated me like a king there. That was the glory days of Vegas. Yeah. I haven't been since the baby's been born. Two years. I've got to go to a fight. But I'm not going. I've been to one UFC on New Year's weekend.
Starting point is 00:02:10 I think it was even on New Year's Eve. No, it was on the 30th. Well, this weekend's going to be mobbed because it's New Year's weekend. It's Brock Lesnar versus Aleister Overeem. The way they shut the street down. It's like New York Times Square. I've done it. Been there, done that.
Starting point is 00:02:23 I'm good. Yeah, chaos. Craziness. New Year's Eve for me is done it. Been there, done that. I'm good. Yeah. It's chaos. It's craziness. New Year's Eve for me is a night to just sit at the house and chill and watch Dick Clark. Does Dick Clark still rock? He counts it down. Does he still?
Starting point is 00:02:36 He still comes and counts it down. It's so sad, too. And he's had a stroke, right? Yeah. He could barely talk. It's really hard to watch. Hey, man. Why not?
Starting point is 00:02:43 Why not? Is he like 109? He's like 109. The joke was for the longest time, the joke was that Dick Clark was like that he never aged. Dick Clark was the devil. Dick Clark is the devil.
Starting point is 00:02:59 He created the bloopers and practical jokes. Did he? I think he created America's Funniest Home Videos too, if I'm not mistaken. He's original. That dude got money. And he's still working. Hey, Burt. Isn't it amazing?
Starting point is 00:03:12 Still working. Him and Merv go to Vegas. Can you imagine that party? Just bitches all over the place. But Merv Griffin didn't like bitches. Oh. Right? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:03:22 I'm pretty sure he didn't. He had more for dick. Yeah, I think he was more attracted to the gentleman you know they just want to had a goddamn crazy wild orgy back in the day you could get away with some shit back then no TMZ you know some real like Hogan's Heroes autofocus I actually saw the first half of it just the other night I didn't finish watching it though but it intrigued me enough that I had to go or something. But it was on. I was like, man, this is...
Starting point is 00:03:49 First, I didn't know. It was on. I didn't even know it was about dude from Hogan's Heroes. I was like, what is this? Craig Kinnear's guy. This is weird. And then I caught on. I was like, oh, it's the Hogan's Heroes guy.
Starting point is 00:04:01 I was like, he went out crazy. Yeah, it's a wild movie, man. I don't think they ever solved his murder either. I think his murder is still up for investigation. They think it was the guy that he was buddy-buddy with, but they couldn't prove it. The William Defoe guy? Yeah, the William Defoe guy. That's what they insinuated in the movie, right?
Starting point is 00:04:16 I might be talking out of my ass. I didn't see the back half. Brian, Google that. Find out if they ever found out his killer. What the hell was his real name? Bob something. Bob. Crane? Bob Crane. crane yes you're right bang yeah that was a weird movie man the movie just he just whole boy just got
Starting point is 00:04:33 obsessed with making his own porn yeah him and his buddy would just make porn every night they just got obsessed with like having orgies and making porn you know and then it went all wrong when the dude grabbed his ass in the movie. Yeah, I didn't catch up to that part. There's always one dude who has to take shit too far. Wow, we're in the whole thing, dude. Good thing going. We're all boning in the same room together.
Starting point is 00:04:54 Hey, man, somebody could get murdered behind that. That's exactly what probably happened. This is Bob Crane's murder, now ruled suicide from March 4, 2011. It said not ruled. Now ruled. I thought he was bludgeoned to death. No, I don't think he was bludgeoned to death. I thought it was...
Starting point is 00:05:11 Wasn't that autoerotic? No, that was David Carradine and the NXS dude. How messed up is that, dude? You're not the Kung Fu guy no more, man. You're not him, dude. You're that guy that died in the closet. Jerking off with a wet soda. Like, wow, dude.
Starting point is 00:05:30 Wow, man. That's just... Wow, it says murder may have been gruesome, drawn out suicide. What? That sounds like somebody paid somebody off. They thought it was murder for years. They thought he was bludgeoned to death. I'm pretty sure.
Starting point is 00:05:43 Why don't you look up Bob Crane cause of death? Because I'm pretty sure homeboy was, like, bludgeoned to death. I'm pretty sure. Why don't you look up Bob Crane cause of death? Because I'm pretty sure Homeboy was like bludgeoned to death. Didn't they insinuate that in the movie? Did the movie take some Oliver Stone-like leaps of faith? I'm sure it did. That was made before 2011. I had to explain to somebody that was talking to me about
Starting point is 00:05:59 Oliver Stone. They were talking to me about that JFK movie, which I loved. It was a great movie and a fascinating movie. But I was talking to a guy and I was like, it was a good movie, but it's not necessarily the truth. And he goes, oh, yes it is. And I go, no, no, you know that old general that gives him all the information, Donald Sutherland?
Starting point is 00:06:16 That guy didn't really exist. He doesn't exist. He's not a real dude. So, it's a movie now. Now, who knows what the fuck is going on? This guy just threw some serious liberal agenda in there. We need a guy. We need a hero. We need a guy that stands up for truth.
Starting point is 00:06:33 A deep throat character. We need one of these. I had this dude on yesterday. His name is Michael Rupert. And he's a guy who was a LAPD narcotics investigator, caught the CIA selling heroin in the hood and went public with it. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know who you're talking about. You know who I'm talking about? Yeah, yeah, I've seen him in a few different films.
Starting point is 00:06:51 Dude, he was fucking my head up yesterday, man. That's a guy who really did do that. He's a guy who really was a good cop who stood up and said, fuck this, this is not what we're supposed to be doing. Serpacoded. Yeah, he serpacoded and somehow stayed alive. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:07 I wish you would have been able to see his face when I asked about Tupac because it was kind of weird. You know, I got an email. I sent you an email. I forwarded you an email. A guy got upset at the photo that you used for the webpage. You froze an image. Is that randomly created?
Starting point is 00:07:23 Yeah, I just pretty much go, oh, he's laughing here. Well, he had a good rant. And I looked at the picture. I'm like, why is everybody getting more fucking sensitive? It seems like people are getting more entitled. They want more apologies. You'd accept it. When you were young, it's not bad at all.
Starting point is 00:07:40 He's ranting. You couldn't pick up a device and tell Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, you suck balls, man. You didn't sign my record. Yeah, ranting. You couldn't pick up a device and tell Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin, you suck balls, man. You didn't sign my record. Yeah, no shit. You know what I mean? Yeah, they missed out on all the negativity. You know, what I'm saying is, like, it's just crazy.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Like, I have a hard time dealing with a lot of the whole technology, man. Like I said, I just – because it's like, wow, man, people really – I mean, for every beautiful, I mean, I get a lot of nice stuff, you know. But it's weird how, like, sometimes that one thing, it could be one thing in a week. Like, you get one bad little thing and you're like, oh, you motherfucking. And they come after you, you know. And they don't understand that sometimes, you know, you're just throwing shit out there.
Starting point is 00:08:17 Sometimes you're just throwing shit out there. You got an idea, just fucking tweet this. I actually got it pretty good probably compared to you. I've never looked at your timeline or your mentions your your mentions people are usually really friendly to me you know for every once in a while like a 14 year old wakes up and discovers that battle i had with eminem and decides to write me a message or how much i suck and yeah you know i'm the you know you're gonna have to deal with that little cowards who want to jump in on the fight it's funny to me it's cool i'm sure it is it's like that's what i'm like man and if i could have wrote something to like somebody like famous it's
Starting point is 00:08:49 like i don't know it would it just have been like you suck ass yeah what would you have done when you were i mean this be funny man like i used to have a thing i used to go to i went to like when the staples center opened up me and be real from cybersuit we both had season tickets the first three championship years i went every single game man and we both had season tickets the first three championship years. I went every single game, man. And we sat pretty close to the floor. And I became kind of well-known for being, you know, a bit of a heckler because I would get the players' attention. And it was always like because I tried to say something funny or stupid or clever.
Starting point is 00:09:19 I never was like, you suck and your mom's a whore. You know, because there was like already a thousand guys that they learned to tune out. Like I remember the first time I ever got a guy was Grant Hill. Like, you suck and your mom's a whore. You know, because there was like already a thousand guys that they learned to tune out. Right. Like, I remember the first time I ever got a guy was Grant Hill. He was on the free throw line and something happened to his eye in the game where he had a Band-Aid on the eye. And it was like just peeling a little bit off. And right as he was about to take his shot, I yelled, Grant, fix your Band-Aid. And he's like, I can see him giggle and he misses the shot.
Starting point is 00:09:45 Right? That's hilarious. and he like I could see him giggle and he and he misses the shot right that's hilarious and Shaq turns around looks over and he's like laughing you know he's giggling so I learned
Starting point is 00:09:52 from that day on it was like oh you gotta say something funny if you say something funny to these dudes you'll get them every time I went to the fights
Starting point is 00:09:59 at the New Orleans once you ever go to the New Orleans and Vegas a smaller casino they have like less known fights there. I went with Doug Stanhope and me and Stanhope were getting hammered and as we're getting hammered, Stanhope starts
Starting point is 00:10:10 yelling at the boxers. We're in the undercard and the undercard of a boxing match is very different than the undercard of a UFC match. You don't hear shit. You hear a few conversations in the audience but it's really generally fairly quiet the first couple fights of the night. So while these guys are fucking duking it out in the front, we're in like the second or third row.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Stan Hope's going, hold him down and fuck his face. It'll destroy his confidence. He's yelling every 10 seconds. He has a new one. Wait till the end of the round, then throw your hands up in the air and say, you've been punked. He kept like every 10 seconds, he would come up with some new heckle.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And we were just laughing. I'm like, these poor fucks, they have to fight in a championship fight while someone's yelling, like, the most ridiculous shit. They have to be hearing this. There's no way they're not hearing this. I wish they would let that in tennis. That would be hilarious. Oh, it would be amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:02 Yeah, why does tennis get to be the same thing with pool and golf? Because they're emotional. Yeah, when you're playing pool, man, you know, professional pool matches, if you're talking on the sidelines, they'll fucking kill you. There's not, you know, pool tables aren't, like, you know, in bars all around the world. You know, people don't learn how to play pool. They do, but there's a big difference between bar table pool and professional pool that's played for, like, big money.
Starting point is 00:11:22 When those guys play, those guys don't want any talking. Those guys don't fuck around. Those guys are killers you know they just they just want to run out they don't want to hear you chewing your gum they don't want to hear you making your text messages with your fucking clicker on but they want their prize money that comes from the cat pan to get in the door they do they do it's a it's an enigma they want to be treated like golfers do but there's no money in it unfortunately it's a weird thing because a lot of people play pool this is really hard to make a living as a professional pool player it's pool to me is like an art form that only the people who play it can appreciate yeah i'm going pro on the dart
Starting point is 00:11:54 circuit soon that's a badass too something about controlling anything whether it's playing pool or darts or fucking even you know what's that game the fucking shuttle thing with a foosball yeah that thing even that i mean there's something about controlling things you know you know we can get very easily addicted to distractions of controlling things darts are fun darts are fun i like the countries like you go to canada and automatically i'm a i'm a curling fan you know you put on the TV, go to England, and you'll find like a darts match to watch on TV, like network TV. I caught myself watching curling.
Starting point is 00:12:34 I was in like Nova Scotia watching people curling on TV. It's a great sport, man. I wouldn't go that far, but it's fascinating that people are still considering it. It's good TV. It is. When there's no other TV to be had, it's good TV. It is kind of interesting. You know, they're trying to put that thing perfectly. The idea of controlling something is just the right amount of push, you know.
Starting point is 00:12:50 It's really the same thing with pool. It's just the right amount of push to get the next ball in the perfect position. Yeah, there's a weird thing that people have with wanting to control their environment. It's all just symptomatic of our inability to control our own lives, and we know that it's all going to end. You know, we want to control other things around us. We want a fucking Rubik's Cube in 13 seconds. We want to control as much as we can around us.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Right. Video games, shit. I don't want to control anything, man. What do you want to do ever last from the house of pain? Just in case any of y'all needed the pedigree. I don't know, man. I just want to make music, you know, smoke an occasional joint. You're lucky.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Have a little whiskey, hug my daughter. You got an awesome life. You got an awesome way to make a living, you know. Figure out a way to express yourself for a living. To be honest, dude, I'm lucky in the sense that if i didn't if i didn't want to live any kind of uh extravagant life which i really do because i'm i'm just kind of a flamboyant dude you know i mean would you consider yourself a baller no if somebody ever asks you though no no i'm i'm trying to be a saver saver try it try, trying. I went from just all out spending.
Starting point is 00:14:05 I was just whatever I made. Before I got married and had a kid, whatever I made, I spent. I know what you mean. Just never thought twice about it. Yeah, that's the recklessness of bachelorhood with money. Yeah. I thank God every day because that jump around song is like Louie Louie, man. That motherfucker is never going away, dog.
Starting point is 00:14:22 Never going away. That's never going away, dog. I used to love it when Marcus Davis was infc because i knew i was going to get to hear it you know i gave you a bunch of shout outs while i know i'm always watching too i would usually text you if the number hadn't changed that week yeah he was mad at me he thought that i was yeah i sent you a text i'll tell the story i said i was sitting there baked watching one of the ufcs after it was like maybe two ago. And I was like, man, Joe, man, Joe's – because I watch Strikeforce.
Starting point is 00:14:50 I watch a bunch of the other stuff, and I'm not putting anybody down, dude. I can't stand any commentators. Most of it I don't listen to the commentators. I like will turn it down and just kind of watch and have some music going or something else. Because usually I've got some peoples around, and we'll talk our own shit. But we listen to Joee rogan like call a fight you know i mean oh i don't even you know i don't even listen to most box like you know if you ain't jim lampley i ain't fucking with you
Starting point is 00:15:15 calling a boxing match on that kind of thing so i was just so high i texted you i was like man you a bad motherfucker dude like and i think one of your specials would had just been on and i we were laughing about that shit i was like you're a funny motherfucker and you're gonna be like the chick her and the mma it's like you're gonna go down in the history and i was like and i just said it and didn't even think twice next day i woke up i was even kind of like oh man i was so high look what i said i was like i just sent joe this i sent joe this sloppy ass like send him a tampon like ass kissing like compliment i was, but that motherfucker didn't even say thanks, man. He didn't even say thank you, man.
Starting point is 00:15:49 I was like, whatever, dude. And then they were like, yo, you got my new number, man? That's hilarious. That's funny. Yeah, that's hilarious. I hate that, though. Well, at least I got you quick enough. I got in a wall of contact.
Starting point is 00:16:02 How many days? I made it inside. Like I said, within one fight cycle. Within a couple of weeks. So there was a good week that you were just like, fuck Joe. Motherfucker. Fuck Joe, but like, god damn, man.
Starting point is 00:16:15 Insensitive bitch. Trust you with my love and friendship. Yeah, man, I'll give you love like that. I agree, man. You don't even blush a little bit, man. You're like writing a song about it I ran into people that told me
Starting point is 00:16:27 they wrote me incredible emails I'm like I might not have got it man I'm so sorry shit slips by it's like I called him the chick
Starting point is 00:16:34 her and the MMA man I texted my damn isn't it I mean you know I said earlier what Anthony Bourdain said to me
Starting point is 00:16:42 and it's one of the things that I was thinking when I was hanging out with you in Vegas I was like how cool is this i'm here smoking weed in a club with everlast from the fucking house of pain is that one of the coolest things about being famous that you just get to hang out with a bunch of other cool famous people
Starting point is 00:16:55 when cats come up to you that you like wanted to meet that wanted to meet you first is like that's that's exciting like you know you'd be like oh man like i remember remember the first time I went to the Grammys for House of Hain, we were sitting there. We were just jazzed to be in the room and whatever, and we get tapped on the shoulder and we turn around. Except for Bono, the rest of U2, like The Edge. I guess Bono was off doing some stuff, but they communicated to us like, yo, we're huge fans.
Starting point is 00:17:20 We love it. We were like, you're fucking U2, man. Wow. That's nutty, man. That's fucking crazy man whoo so you know that happened that kind of shit is mad cool you know i mean like for me it was like i was you know i got the fights were always kind of that for me when like you know one of the fighters would come up and be like yo i love your music that is amazing because that's
Starting point is 00:17:38 something i get to fanboy out on a little bit you know how many other guys came out to your shit besides marcus because i know other guys come out right i don't know a few right yeah i mean you know how come on that's a great get fired up for a battle you know i have other pro like a group lacoga noster nick diaz came out to one of them songs when he came out for pride for that fight with uh uh well what was the dude he beat up to beat him up too go me yeah yeah yeah came out great fight. Came out to a La Coca song. It was kind of dope. And you know, his brother fuck Gomi up. As bad as Nick Diaz, fuck Gomi up.
Starting point is 00:18:11 Nick Diaz and Gomi were in a battle that Nick Diaz won. Nick Diaz, fuck Gomi up. We had the inside line on that too. Damn. I love the Diaz brothers. Nick Diaz is on a new level right now. He's fighting Donald Cerrone this weekend. That's going to be a good fight.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Woo! Are you fucking kidding me? Are you kidding me? That's the co-main event to me. Is Nick and GSP going to get in the ring? Well, GSP just had serious ACL reconstruction surgery. And he had the one. I had both different kinds of surgery.
Starting point is 00:18:40 And I'm very surprised that he elected to get the patella tendon graft, which is, from what I understand, is not the best move because it can compromise the patella tendon because it takes a third away. There's a bunch of different ways to do it with the ACL. ACL is a real common injury. They can either take the hamstring, they take a big chunk of meat and they reconstruct the ACL, which they have done before and it has been successful, but that takes a long amount of rehab. Or they use a cadaver. The cadaver is they have an Achilles tendon, which is a big, thick tendon, much bigger and thicker. And they stick that in and it serves as a platform for your body, sort of scaffolding for your body to create new cells on it. So there's a couple of different ways. And he went one of the ways it takes the longest time to rehab.
Starting point is 00:19:24 So there's a couple different ways and he went one of the ways it takes the longest time to rehab The patella tendon graft some people swear by it some that my doctor didn't my doctor said that it compromises the front of the knee that you can get you know a better effect with the The cadaver graft and I've had both done and the one that I had with the cadaver graft healed much quicker It was much easier much less invasive. i was back to normal quicker everything about it was quicker so i think he's in for a long rehab so gsp i think is in for at least at least a nine month rehab and that's being conservative he really probably should last 10 or maybe even a year a year is a smart calculated move because he doesn't need money you know he's a he's a young man it'd be good they're gonna let him hold the belt that long no they will not they're gonna A smart, calculated move because he doesn't need money. You know, he's a young man.
Starting point is 00:20:05 It would be good to rest up. They're going to let him hold the belt that long? No, they will not. They're going to have an interim championship on February 4th. That's where shit gets hairy because GSP has to sit on the sidelines with a fucked up knee while Carlos Conda and Nick Diaz are going to war. That's going to be chaos. That's five rounds for the interim title. So all that time, GSP has to fight with the demons of pushing it too fast
Starting point is 00:20:26 because a lot of guys, when they get that ACL surgery, they fuck around. They feel good, so they start rolling real early. Like Ed Shortfuse Herman was one of the most recent ones. He got his ACL done. He starts rehabbing. He's feeling pretty good, so he takes jujitsu class or takes kickboxing class, whatever he was doing. Pop!
Starting point is 00:20:44 It goes out again. Now you've got to go through surgery again and go through the whole goddamn process that's crazy and he came through it and he got out of the woods but it's a 16 month process now now you're dealing with you know another 10 months on top of that so he's so whenever george and nick diaz get it on who the fuck knows now now now it it's a matter of how smart does GSP play out the surgery? How much damage was there really? What about soft tissue? The soft tissue can make it difficult for him to shoot and might make shit swell up. Soft tissue is a lot of times the bigger issue than the actual ligaments themselves
Starting point is 00:21:21 because they can replace the ligaments. They don't really replace soft tissue. It becomes like a real irritating problem. They even use like fake pads. They put fake pads inside of knees now, like synthetic pads. You know, a lot of dudes have fucked their knees up, man. I have to see that fight, though. Oh, fuck yeah, you have to.
Starting point is 00:21:38 That's chaos, man. You know, the real question is, GSP is like this fucking goddamn super athlete, you know? GSP is like one of the best athletes that we've ever seen in the ufc as far as like explosion the ability to keep up a certain pace and pound guys and take guys down and implement his own game plan but nick ds has got the craziest fucking cardio the mma world ever seen. This dude swam. He's a tough cat dog. He's tough as shit. Bro, he swam from Alcatraz twice.
Starting point is 00:22:10 For fun. Just shut the fuck up and sit down. You ain't willing to swim from Alcatraz twice. People don't even understand the amount of confidence that guy must have in his wind in comparison to anybody else. So he'll take you on a race that you can't complete he'll go okay we're just gonna run nine miles an hour and see how long you can do this for because i could do it for a day you know he could do it
Starting point is 00:22:33 for a day he could run hills all day then get on a bike and ride for a couple hours then get in the ocean swim and that cardio that he has worked diligently to build up has become like an extra weapon that a lot of people don't recognize. But you see it in his fights, man. He takes dudes into these crazy battles. He talks shit to them. He gets them all emotional. And then by five minutes, they're fucking done.
Starting point is 00:22:55 And he's just warming up. He's just warming up. He's like, what bitch? What bitch? He's like in their face popping shots on them, hitting them 50% and they can't stop it. And it's the most infuriating thing to them. You watch guys like implode mentally. And a big weapon that he's using is that crazy cardio.
Starting point is 00:23:11 He's got some next level cardio. That's what I tell people. He swam Alcatraz for fun. For fun. For fun. That's not even for training. That was for fun. And you know what?
Starting point is 00:23:21 That's the place where you really have to worry about great whites. That's where they fucking breed. Oh, yeah. They breed up what? That's the place where you really have to worry about great whites. That's where they fucking breed. Oh, yeah. They breed up there. Like, Pete, that's a real issue. Like, there's a lot of great whites. Also, some of the cold. It's like.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Cold as fuck. It's some of the coldest water you can get in in North America. It's coming down from Alaska, man. It's cold as fuck. It's freezing. That's funny. And he's a bad motherfucker, dude. He's tough.
Starting point is 00:23:46 There's a level of toughness that that guy has and very few human beings will ever achieve there's a level of just sheer toughness that you don't understand you don't understand until you experience it especially until you watch it live you know when i watched him fight bj penn live you know you get a i mean i've seen nick fight i've called a bunch of his fights in his previous career in the UFC, but to watch him, like he's, first of all, he's not even fucking 30 yet, okay? So he's not even in his prime yet. But I watched that performance that he put on against
Starting point is 00:24:13 BJ Penn. I'm like, nobody ever dragged BJ Penn around like this before. Not standing up. You know, dudes have taken him down and held on to him like GSP and beat him up. That's what GSP did, but this is not what Nick Diaz did. Nick Diaz kept him up and beat him up. That's what GSP did. But this is not what Nick Diaz did. Nick Diaz kept him up and beat him up. Nobody ever did that before.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Just wore him out. That was a tough fight. Fuck, it's hard to watch. I'm such a fan of both of those dudes. Both guys. I love BJ Penn, man. For me, BJ is Jordan. Just because of what he's done.
Starting point is 00:24:41 One of the all-time greatest. How he's gone up and down. There ain't no fight. That's why some cats, I just can't. I mean, as much as I won't get in the octagon with any of them. But if you ain't gone up and down and moved around and fought the guy above you and the guy below you, it's kind of like you ain't BJ Payton. One thing about BJ is BJ's clean.
Starting point is 00:25:01 BJ's not taking juice to go up and wait. When BJ went up and waited, he ate donuts. You know what I'm saying? BJ ate cheeseburgers and shit and fought Lyoto Machida with a big belly. He didn't give a fuck. He's legit. And so when you go back and you look at all the fighters that have ever competed in MMA, and you look at who's been the most courageous, most willing to fight anybody,
Starting point is 00:25:22 he's not a 170. He's so much smaller than guys like Anthony Johnson. It is hard to even wrap your head around the fact that they could ever be considered in the same weight class. The fact that those guys can somehow or another be in the same weight class is utterly, completely ridiculous. And Johnson just moved up to 85 for his next fight finally. But BJ's never really been a 170.
Starting point is 00:25:41 His natural weight should probably be like 160 165 somewhere around that and he can cut to 155 but it's miserable but he at 170 they're just too big it's just a physical like when he fought john fitch is a good fight for the first two rounds the third round fitch just overpowered him over wrestled him got a hold of him and beat him up for like the first you know the last few minutes of the fight was just a beating you know but bj's an all-time all-time great, without a doubt. That guy's a savage. You go back and watch some of his early fights.
Starting point is 00:26:11 Watch his fight with Diego Sanchez. Holy shit. When he got in that kind of shape, when he was with the Marinovichs, apparently the training that they were putting him through was so bad, he couldn't get home, he couldn't pick up his baby. He would get home from training, and he had nothing left he had nothing and they would just break him because the whole idea is your body's got to get the signal like listen bitch we're doing this every day you need to speed up
Starting point is 00:26:33 these cycles you need to get us on some like high-level shit right now we need to pick up the pace we need to fucking make our heart rate lower we need to fucking make our muscle tissue regeneration quicker and the only way to do that is to break dudes down you know and guys like the marinoviches they'll put you through something that you wish you were dead and so bj got at the end of that man was just a super athlete when he went out against diego sanchez that was crazy in shape bj pen like that god damn that bj pen with abs that's scary as fuck that's scary as fuck but i can't keep that going for so long you can only keep that going for so long that You can only keep that going for so long. That's hard. It's hard to keep that kind of pace, that wishing you were dead for eight weeks out of every training cycle.
Starting point is 00:27:10 I mean, I'm just talking shit. I don't even appreciate it on the level that he has because he went through it. But that guy in that shape, that BJ Penn, I put up against almost anybody in the history of that division. No doubt. It's a crazy sport, man. It's the most guttural, real sport of all time, right? You've been ringside for a lot of them, man. I mean, there was a period where I didn't miss one, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:27:33 Until y'all started taking it overseas, I was there. I'm just a fan. I mean, the way that even happened was I was doing a show in Boston at, like, Tweeter Center or something, just a fan i mean the way that even happened was i was doing a show in boston at like tweeter center or something and dana and chuck liddell walked by and i i really wasn't familiar with dana yet but i was like chuck liddell and he was like oh and he was like everlast and dana was like oh everlast you know i was like it's like yeah i'm dana white you know it was you know relatively soon after the takeover you know i mean and he was just like oh any fights you come to and i had gone to like one or two fights on my own but i was like sure and i called him like a week later
Starting point is 00:28:10 like there was a fight i was like i'm gonna come to vegas and he put me ringside and it was like i was hooked man it was a wrap you know i was like oh man this is the life yeah it's so fun to watch them live man to be right there and watch history i love watching like the unleashed on spike and be like i'm there i'm right i'm there at that fight i'm right there fights are a lot of great fights are one of the few things i can watch over again even though i know the outcome i'm getting to probably a good 15 20 of them yeah yeah oh at least yeah somebody keeps going off man that might be me we haven't figured out the culprit well this i'm pretty sure this last one was me yeah the horrors of being connected to the world all the time is everything cool in the wonderful world of everlast what is it like having a an extra name you know i mean i want to say a fake name because that's your real performance name
Starting point is 00:28:59 but you know i've always just if you know me you know you call me by my you call me by my. I'm just a lot of my folks call me Eric. Unless it's comfortable. If somebody's comfortable calling me Everlast, like in a personal situation or ever, whatever. Doesn't bother. When you're at the store, do people say, hey, Eric? No. Does anybody ever say, hey, Eric? Not if they don't know me.
Starting point is 00:29:16 It's always Everlast. Yeah. Or Whitey Ford. A lot of people call me Whitey Ford because that album was called Whitey Ford. Oh, that's kind of cool. Yeah. So I'm cool with that. You're cool with Whitey Ford or Ever, that's kind of cool. Yeah, so I'm cool with that. You're cool with Whitey Ford or Everlast.
Starting point is 00:29:27 But you can't call you Eric until you get to know you. You can call me that. I'm just saying. It's like most people are going to walk up to you like, hey, Eric, how are you doing? You know, you're like, Eric, I love what it's like. Do that. Eric, jump around. Hey, Eric.
Starting point is 00:29:41 I don't think they would want to do that to, you know, get themselves in deep quick. Listen, I know your real name, bro do you have people go we please jump for me or shit like that no apparently you haven't spent too much time in Columbus Ohio yeah test market town they got everybody on fucking ether in green boxes that's funny yeah indeed no I don't get i don't get much trouble listen man thank you very much for doing this a lot of fun hey man anytime an honor you know i mean i was getting hollered at on twitter about it like you need to do joe show and i was like yeah joe i need to do your show what's up everybody needs to buy this record that's what's
Starting point is 00:30:19 up it's not a record anymore the cds now is it on itunes as well yeah it's on itunes i got mine it's called ungrateful living songs of the on iTunes. It's called Ungrateful Living. Songs of the Ungrateful Living. Songs of the Ungrateful Living. The single that we played was I Get By. I'm going to listen to that on the way home, man. I can't wait. It's an album, actually.
Starting point is 00:30:37 It's my house. But it's true. Come on. What you afraid of? It's going to do you some good. For all the girls that I loved before, they got a lot more than they bargained for. They got a lot more than they was anticipating. Started off loving, winded up hating hating Remember back when we were very first dating Used to, baby, be patient Cause I'm all about waiting
Starting point is 00:31:11 I'm not your open-ass I love it. You gotta prove your love, boy That's a fun one. We're gonna shoot a video for it. Yeah? Is that your next single? No.
Starting point is 00:31:20 That'll probably be it after the next one. I'm trying to shoot a video for a bunch of the songs, like even songs that ain't singles. I mean, it's that era where you could just shoot a video and put it on YouTube. It doesn't have to be a single. Yeah, you can film it on your iPhone. It's an awesome time, man, to just put shit out there.
Starting point is 00:31:36 In certain ways it is. In certain ways it's not? In certain ways it's not. Well, in certain ways it's not. It's for record sales, right? Record sales kind of get off the window. The problem is there's no moral connection to the stealing right like i believe if people really understood that look i mean i'm working on a
Starting point is 00:31:51 completely independent level here i still spent probably a good hundred grand getting this record together and put out and all that you know i mean and you know let alone any advertising or whatever else or publicist i gotta hire or this or that or the other. You know, that's on top of that. You know what I mean? So it's like when you don't buy the music, you're hurt. It's like, you know, you're killing it off. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:15 So I'll keep making it. You know what I mean? But sooner or later, it's going to just be like, man, why bother? You know, I'll just make it for myself and give it to my homeboys and whatever. You know? People don't feel that they're doing anything wrong because you don't you don't feel anything you click some links and then you get it and then i used to make a joke like yo it's cool as long as like when i come to your you could download all my music for free that's cool as long as like you know hey man just leave
Starting point is 00:32:36 a key under the mat at your crib and when i come to town i can come make a sandwich and sleep on the couch and borrow the car and drive myself to the gig and come back afterwards, take a shower and have another sandwich before I leave town and we're good. I could live like that. You know what I mean? If people would be so willing to be so generous. That's at the least, man. I mean, throw me a buck. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:32:56 Eric, you can always come over to my house. I heard the most retarded argument the other day on my message board about why pay-per-views, why you should be able to stream why uh pay-per-views why you should be able to stream illegal ufc pay-per-views and the guy said if someone wants to call themselves the champion of the world then everyone should be allowed to watch it like what kind of a stupid fucking justification of that is that for for for stealing a product that someone spent millions and millions of dollars to create and produce for the reason to sell it to people who enjoy it and buy it willingly. But you think you should be allowed to steal it because the championship of the world should be free for everyone to see it. That is the most amazing justification.
Starting point is 00:33:40 The fact that people are willing to paint the most ridiculous scenario possible like you would logically accept just in order for them to not pay yeah yes i could steal there's nothing it doesn't hurt them in the long run it's the whole internet it's like if i really enjoy it i'll go out and buy it people ask me test it first some people have asked me like you know that that that question uh well if you had one wish or one thing you could do to improve the world what we could be and i tell people all the time i'd completely erase any knowledge history or knowing of the internet whatsoever i was like i was like because for every good thing you could find on the internet i'll find you 1 000 like slimy fucked up dirty uses for the thing. You know what I mean? Immoral, stealing.
Starting point is 00:34:27 Yo, it used to, I forget, I hope I'm not stealing one of your bits here because I might even be a Dave Chappelle thing where it's like, yo, there used to be where you didn't, like if a dude liked to fuck pigs in high heel shoes, he had to keep that shit to himself back in the day. You know what I i mean i know somebody else has said things of this nature a lot of people that we all have really but with the
Starting point is 00:34:50 internet it's like now they all are together and grouping and moving to a town near you we're just talking about this yeah i don't think it's necessarily all bad though i think for i didn't say all bad there's a few really i. There's a lot of really good, amazing uses for the technology. But for every one of those, there's a thousand horrible, despicable, rotten ones. I don't know if that's true. I agree with you that there's a lot of fucked up shit out there. Absolutely. Lights will be better when the lights go out, man.
Starting point is 00:35:20 Trust me. Just have a few guns. Learn how to skin a deer. And how to make jerky. The lights are probably going to go on permanently i think we're eventually going to evolve past this carbon life data stage and move into some sort of a symbiotic relationship with the internet it's going to be some computer connection you're part of the board uh yeah is that what it is the board it's 100 it's gonna happen that's what that's the direction is that the right thing you gotta fuck this do you got a titanium heart valve yeah i got any technology talking about borgen yeah dude that shit is real it's real dude it
Starting point is 00:35:54 is real as it gets man there's gonna be some time we're gonna be able to download steve austin shit right now you are dude how long is that gonna last Well, the reason they went with the titanium is because it'll last forever. Like a lot of older folks, they would use like even a pig valve. Wow. And if I had the pig valve, I wouldn't have to take the blood thinners, but those would also have to be like every 10, 15 years you have to redo it. And I ain't really trying to get cracked open. How many times can you get cracked open?
Starting point is 00:36:23 Nine, 10? At my age, it probably could have. And if I lived a nice long life, it would have been at least two more. Oh, Jesus. You know, and I'm hoping, you know. I look at it like, you know, sooner or later because just the history and what's going on with me, I'm probably going to have to have some sort of surgery in that department again at some point. Do you watch your diet?
Starting point is 00:36:42 To a certain degree. I'm not a nut. I mean, I'm actually, me and the wife are on a new, you know, health food kick right now. Health food, but healthy food kick right now trying to lose a little weight
Starting point is 00:36:52 and get a little healthier. I started drinking kale shakes every morning. My friend Kevin James, you know who he is, the actor, comedian dude from Zookeeper, he lost 80 pounds preparing for this MMA movie.
Starting point is 00:37:03 He plays an MMA fighter, former college wrestler. Was that right? Yeah. It's a good movie, man. And Kevin lost a fuckload of weight. And one of the ways he did it was by drinking these kale shakes every day. He became a complete vegetarian.
Starting point is 00:37:15 Everything vegetable-based, everything that he was eating. And he started off his day every day with shakes. There was like a Vitamix blender. He would blend in cucumbers and kale and celery and and like a pear and some ginger and blend it all up to this big thick green stuff and then just drink it because it's like way more vegetables than you would ever eat you're never gonna sit down just eat all that in a serving but boom you get all the nutrients you get all the and it cleans out your whole intestinal tract it moves everything along this motherfucker just started looking
Starting point is 00:37:44 fantastic and dropping weight and just looking healthy this motherfucker just started looking fantastic and dropping weight and just looking healthy and so i started doing it and i started doing it after i uh i do this thing it's amazing man you feel great like you have good nutrients in your body it's amazing how good your body will actually feel but i'm such a self-sabotaging motherfucker i like look at that kale shake and then i know there's a little cabinet right there where there's some peanut butter and chocolate um protein powder and i'll throw a banana in there and some almond milk and some honey and i'll make my protein drink my morning protein drink which is delicious but not quite what i need it's not what i need what i really need is these vegetables but this is a self-sabotage mechanism inside the head that like lets you know yeah but the indulgent
Starting point is 00:38:24 thing is to have a yummy fucking protein shake right now i just don't understand how where it self-sabotage mechanism inside the head that like lets you know yeah but the indulgent thing is to have a yummy fucking protein shake right now i just don't understand how we're we you know we've done all these crazy things with life but we still couldn't figure out how to make something that really was good and healthy and wonderful for you taste just as amazing as like i'm a you know like you talk about vegetarians like man that's but every once in a while, I just got to have a steak or a Five Guys burger. I agree. I agree. It's like what it is.
Starting point is 00:38:51 I'm a carnivore. Yeah, I'm a big fan of that Five Guys burgers. I found out there's one in Thousand Oaks I go to. God damn, that place is good. Oh, you get it with the jalapenos, the double cheeseburger with the jalapenos and bacon, son. Come on. I'm talking about it. What do you think it with the jalapenos, the double cheeseburg with the jalapenos and bacon, son. That's what I'm talking about. Come on. I'm talking about it.
Starting point is 00:39:06 How could you not? What do you think? You're going to live forever? Do you not want to feel those moments? Got it, man. Not want to experience? Just drink your kale shake and that. That's what's important.
Starting point is 00:39:14 It's a balance. You got to give yourself little treats. Like on my rider when I do a show, you know what I mean? I'm not really crazy about all these demands and shit, but there's one that I make sure the road managers get across to the tour club or promoter or whoever. This one's serious. There's got to be at least a six-pack of ice-cold Coca-Cola in glass bottles.
Starting point is 00:39:36 And only yellow Skittles. And that's it. That's it. And a bottle of Jameson. That's usually my only other demand. Just Coca-Cola in glass bottles? In an ice-co cold in a glass bottle. That's awesome.
Starting point is 00:39:47 That's one of them things. Like, when you're drinking, it's like, that's... And you just like that while you're on stage? Before you go on stage? No, I have whiskey on stage most of the time. How fucked up do you ever get on stage? Not that fucked up, no. I usually don't drink that much at all before a show.
Starting point is 00:40:01 I'll have maybe a drink. And then whatever I'm drinking on stage, usually I'm sweating out, like pretty much as I'm drinking. Quickly, right? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, people don't really understand that. How can you drink a couple shots and then do a show and then be sober? Even after the shows, because the adrenaline's been going
Starting point is 00:40:15 and I've already had a few drinks, but it's sweated out of me, you kind of get a tolerance. I don't really ever get that drunk anymore. I drink whiskey like a grown man should drink whiskey now you know i mean i get a little oh this is where i should be and let me chill right now this is the perfect spot that is a man's drink too it's like if you're gonna say what's a man's drink you know you can fuck around with tequila tequila probably means you're a little irresponsible you know you might not have the best conversational skills and they say what's a grand tequila is like the uh like the date rape pill of alcohol.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Yeah, more people blame fucked up shit on tequila than any other booze. You ever see that Jim Brewer bit? Jim Brewer had a bit about mixing alcohol, a hilarious bit, a bit about his stomach is like a party, and he's throwing all these big different things. He's got a German beer, an American beer. And he's throwing all this shit down. And then at the end of the night, tequila comes in.
Starting point is 00:41:11 And it's like all these Mexicans showing up to the party going, Come on, we're not going to stand no trouble. Come on, let's get a scene. And he's like, No, fuck this. Everybody out. Not that way. The way you came in. It's this bit.
Starting point is 00:41:24 It's a fucking funny bit, man. But it gets down to the tequila. Yeah, that's the most irresponsible beverage is tequila. A whiskey is you guys want to have some whiskey? Let's have a glass of whiskey. You can sit and have a glass of whiskey like men. Sip some whiskey. Even if you want to do shots of whiskey.
Starting point is 00:41:39 It's a goddamn cowboy drink. People get shot over that. Over whiskey. Duels to, you know. People get shot over that. Over whiskey. Yeah. Duels get challenged with whiskey. Isn't there some places, there's some places in the country where duels are still legal. I think it's Arizona.
Starting point is 00:41:51 Yeah. I think Arizona's loped out, bro. Arizona doesn't give a fuck. You know, they'll put you in pink underwear and make you work in a chain game. Yeah, that guy's funny. Sheriff Arpaio. Yeah, that guy.
Starting point is 00:42:01 He's funny if you hate freedom. That guy's an anti-civil liberties piece of shit. I think he's hilarious. I mean, I'm not condoning it, but putting guys in pink underwear. It is hilarious. You don't get arrested. It is definitely hilarious. That's some pretty crazy shit.
Starting point is 00:42:16 He sent in a message. And overall, he's probably right. Overall, the mass amount of those fucking people need a kick in the ass. You know, you're in jail. Something got you there. I mean, I'm sure, hey, I'm sure there's some guys there that are there wrongly, fully accused and got the bad end of the system. Unfortunately, huh?
Starting point is 00:42:34 But most of those guys were doing some math or making some math and did something that they fucked up somehow. How many people in jail you think are from math? I'd say a good at least half at least half half is meth related half maybe violence induced by meth yeah yeah i mean how many of those arrests like if someone gets arrested for some crazy violent crime how do they test them for meth or do they ask them all the cops episodes i've seen they ask them outright are you doing meth? And most of them say, yeah. I think it's like a truth serum to a certain degree.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Man, when you watch that show, you ever watch that show Breaking Bad? No, but it's one of them things that I've been getting on and iTunes it on the next tour bus ride. I got addicted to it while I was getting my right tattoo. I watched it every time on the iPad. And God damn, that show is good. Yeah, Danny Boy swears that show is amazing. But it's all about meth, man. You see, you peer
Starting point is 00:43:31 into that world, you're like, how extensive is this? What a crazy virus this is on the American public, this crazy meth problem. And you wonder, how deep is it? How close is this to me? Is this in your neighborhood? Dog the Bounty Hunter makes like a whole franchise business out of like yeah ice is meth yeah like all his crime all that stuff is ice related yeah they apparently
Starting point is 00:43:51 have everybody they want everybody either they beat up their woman or they're doing math it's one or the other isn't that fucked up that that shit made it to hawaii that it's a big problem on a paradise island i mean haw, Hawaii is a goddamn paradise. People don't realize that you watch that show Lost. Oh, they're on paradise. You know where they really are? Hawaii. That's where they are. That's what it looks like. Hawaii looks like that. It's a goddamn tropical rainforest that's a volcano
Starting point is 00:44:16 that just erupted out of the middle of the ocean. And it's amazing. And meth made it there. That's incredible. Meth makes it everywhere. Well, motherfucking, And meth made it there. That's incredible. Meth makes it everywhere. What? Well, motherfucking, meth, you know, those cats will keister anything, man. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:44:32 I had a buddy whose girl had a meth problem. It was a horrifying thing to watch, man. Scary to watch someone who's like a meth person. Like, you're like, it's almost like a vampire or something. You got to get away from them. You got to move away. They stay up long enough, too. They start seeing, like, shadow people and crazy bugs on their skin and all kinds of craziness, dude.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And it's nuts that it's made out of cold medicine. You know what's nuts to me is that, like, you're doing a drug, and, like, you've lost six teeth already quickly on this drug, and you just decide that you're cool with that? I think it's just like... drug and you just decide that you're cool with that i think it's just what i would like to think at some point i would find myself going like yo that's like the fifth tooth of mine to just not fall out right away you would think that but i think it's just like that aquatic worm and that grasshopper i think that meth gets into your system and then all of a sudden it's almost like a symbiotic relationship you need that meth they need it every. If they don't get it every day, they're fucked. Like, when you're in the throes of addiction,
Starting point is 00:45:27 you have a relationship with this fucking chemical, whatever the hell it is. You know, it is just like it's a failed symbiote is what it is. It's a parasite that's a failed symbiote. It's forcing you into relationships. Jesus. Powerful, Everlast. That's the end of the show.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Let's just end it right there. It's perfect. We'll let the universe decide that 6 p.m. is the wrap-up time. Yes, everlasting. That's the end of the show. Let's just end it right there. It's perfect. We'll let the universe decide that 6 p.m. is the wrap-up time. Yes, sir. This has been like a three and a half hour podcast
Starting point is 00:45:50 or something. You're going to edit that up, man. No, we won't. We're going to edit shit. Oh, you're going to leave the government shut down in there and everything? First of all, it's live.
Starting point is 00:45:57 It's always streamed live so we can't edit it because people are going to stream it. I think that's the most responsible way to do it. I think if you say something, you should say what you believe and if you say it everybody should be able to hold you accountable for it there you go so there and that way let me just remember all the
Starting point is 00:46:11 people i made fun of today listen you're a beautiful human being and i'm glad we're friends and i'm glad to hang out with you i've always had a good fucking time with you you're a bad motherfucker when it comes to music i'm a huge huge fan, and I'm glad we're friends, man. Likewise, brother. Thank you for having me anytime, man. I'm local. Let's do it again, baby. We're doing it again. Songs.

How about you tell me who you want, and I'll organize. That's a great idea. That's House Chronicles. That's a great idea for future shows, too, to bring in guys that are fans with guys, like guys that we know that are fans of each other.
Starting point is 00:46:46 That's a great idea, man. Yeah, dude. Dude, Patton Oswalt's due. David Tell, any of those kind of dudes. I love these guys. I follow a lot of comedians on Twitter. I know you do. Because that's the fun.
