Starting point is 00:03:37 from Searcy, Arkansas. They call him Thug Nasty. He's got a lot going on. It's not just it's not just MMA anymore for this guy, but that's his main focus. Happy to spend some time today with my friend, Mr. Bryce Mitchell. Yeah, man. That that that 269 card. It was wild. Who'd they have in your division that father had E gay and Josh and Josh and it. Yeah. Yeah. And what does it feel like when you're watching that, dude, because you've been you've been out for what he almost a year now, huh? Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Oh, shit. Actually, that fight I missed it. I watched that last night in the

Starting point is 00:04:52 hotel. Mm hmm. I took half a bag of these fucking gummies. I was falling asleep, bro. Were you actually when last night podcast is live? Oh, no, not live. No, what are we recording? We're recording. Yeah. Okay. I'm I got the goodie. Oh, you guys. You brought some. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Damn. Boy, that swamp Santa right here. So come on, son. The Spanish mall Santa right here, baby. Let's go. Damn. Is that really a no alcoholic beverages? Nothing. You know, I just, you know, I know we're going to get thirsty up here. Hey, man, man. It's too low with electrolyte. Oh, yeah. Boy. And some homemade lemonade. And I guess you can hear dirty in here. Oh, that stuff's driving. Because I've been wanting protein for breakfast. Like I said, that's going to be real

Starting point is 00:05:39 dry. But I do that on purpose because it's going to store for like years. It'll probably be good for three years. So oh my god. Apocalypse, bro. That's your jerky. It gets you. Come on, baby. Got you some of that Jaco, baby. Oh, that mulk, son. My dick's pretty big. Whatever I had on glass is one of the things. Bro, so this is homemade jerky right here? Yes, sir. That's your jerky. Wow. And so what's the process you have on this? I shot that one with my bow and then shoot just dried. I dried the fuck out of that, brother. That's like, it's going to stay for years. And I know a lot of people like it a little bit more moist. But the thing is, I have problems with it going bad. Really? I put a lot of salt,

Starting point is 00:06:21 a lot of pepper and I dry. I mean, it's dry dry. But when you start chewing it, it'll come back to life. You could actually. It bounces back quick. It bounces back quick once you start chewing. And I actually think you could take that, put it in a little pot of boiling water. I wouldn't do this unless I was just, just mixing it up because I got bored. But you could put that in water. They call it reconstituting it, kind of get it kind of back to life and then put it over some rice. You know, so that's if you wanted to. Or you could have put rice in your mouth while you're eating it. A little bit of that lemonade. Yeah. Dude, thank you, bro. Thank you for having me, brother. And this is from my sponsors, Bigley. They got you. This is those gummies I was talking

Starting point is 00:07:00 about. I'm not kidding you. I took, it says take one of them. I took half the bag. It ain't gonna kill you. Right. But I got sleepy. I was watching that Emmett fight and that EGAY fight and I was like watching it and then like round three comes around and I'm like, what the fuck? Waking back up and then you know. And what's in it? Is it THC in them? This is CBD. Oh, wow. Maybe some Delta 8. I stopped even reading this shit. You did? I just take them. You just get them in you, huh? Then they got some blades and then a little bit more of those. But those big pins, I'm actually not smart enough to smoke them. Really? I tried on the way here. I was gonna smoke one. I think you have to have a GD. I don't know if it's a activated passcode or something, but I think you plug it

Starting point is 00:07:43 into a phone charger. Damn, boy. So you plug that bitch in and then you smoke it. Some Arkansas treats, huh? This is the best gift of all. Okay. In my opinion, this is for me. Okay. And I hope that you're not offended. I won't be. I can already tell, I think. Oh, what's that little turtle? Turtles, uh, bowl? That's right. I know you stopped smoking. Oh, gang. Maybe I sure did. Wow. But I know you're creative. You're gonna find something to use. Oh, I'm gonna stack a little bit of my deer jerky in this bed. You ever heard two turtles fucking? All right. Let me show you what it sounds like. All right. Oh, that's good.

Starting point is 00:08:32 And why should they, bro? I think it should be created. Dude, thank you, man. For having me, brother. Heck yeah, boy. We got that rural Santa in the vicinity today, baby. That's right, brother. That rice, that ball sauce right here, son. Damn. Eliminate strong too. Yeah, it is, huh? My God. Oh, yeah. But man, I thought that the fight was good. Yeah. They both kind of hurt. I mean, they're just so evenly matched. One of the judges had it 30-27, one of them. And my, and my mind, it was pretty like really, it was a draw to be honest with you because E. Gay got dropped in the first round, but then I thought he won the last two rounds. So I honestly would give him a draw. Yeah. So when you, when you're watching guys like that fight, do you start to feel, because you've

Starting point is 00:09:23 been out now for what, a year now because you're injured? Over, yeah. Over a year. About a year and probably what, two months? Is it hard to still like see yourself as part of the show? Kind of do you start to think like, man, I'm not, does it, do you start to feel a little bit separate? Because you were on a kind of a roll there, you know? Shoot, I wish. I mean, dude, like, it's, it's, it's intense in my head, bro. Like I'm battling every day. I'm fighting somebody in my fucking head, bro. Like I'm not going to lie. Like I feel like I'm always on edge. I probably need to chill out. You know what I'm saying? So what, so, uh, so let's talk about the rest of the, the, that night, the, uh, those fights, man. Well, first things first, I got to say that I called the,

Starting point is 00:10:05 the pinion win. Did you really? And, uh, well, yeah. But first off, I think she's, you know, I think she's pretty cute. So I'm a go for it. Oh yeah. Second off, uh, you know, I, I like both of those chicks. So it was, it wasn't because of the personalities or anything that I picked pinion. I picked pinion because she had beat, I believe Kat Zingano and Kat Zingano beat Amanda. And she didn't, it wasn't a fluke win when, when Kat Zingano beat Amanda, it was dominate, domination of wrestling and superior groundwork. And so you get one ground fighter who's already beat this chick and then somebody comes and beats the chick who beat her at what she beat her at. And so in my head, I'm thinking, she's going to get her to the ground and beat her.

Starting point is 00:10:44 She's going to get her to the ground and beat her. And I didn't put no money on it though, because I always fucking lose if I put money down. I don't ever do it. I've only, actually, I never even put money down. One time I put a weed bet. I bet my buddy a quarter of weed on a fight and then lost it. And then he's all stoned and you're not. That's right, bro. Well, he shared it with me a little bit. You know what I'm saying? It's all good. But the worst is when you lose a weed bet and your buddy just smokes it on, you got to just sit there and look at his ass. Like he's just been, like he's just been eating ghosts, bro. My dude, my buddy gets so fucked up when we're younger, bro. Look, he looked like he'd eat a couple of damn human. There's a couple of damn

Starting point is 00:11:18 ghosts was in him, bro. He looked fucking haunted, dude. He got so high. One time his fucking dad came to pick him up and he didn't even know his dad, bro. And he fucking fought him right there in the yard. And he fought him, bro, like it was somebody coming to kidnap him. I do that right now. But do fighting your own dad just because you hire, like are you so high? I fight him because I'm pissed off. I don't care if I'm high or what the fuck, dude. I just beat his ass just for some child support. Yeah, let's go son. Yeah, they should have if a dad flakes on the kid, they should have at least a couple rounds of when the child's 16 or over that they got to do in the yard legally. Yeah. That's right. That's what I'm saying. That should be part of the jurisdiction, baby. Let's go.

Starting point is 00:12:01 Dude, we should, we got to rewrite some of these laws, man. Absolutely. They got some soft laws out there. Let's go through the last minute of this. I'll say this, man. So I'm sitting over there and man, uh, Nunez just looked so much bigger. Did it? Here's the thing though, brother. Let's do no audio. It don't always come to your favor when you're bigger like that. It means you cut more weight and she's a power puncher. Right. So it's like, okay, so you're talking about a power puncher who cuts a lot of weight. Yeah, but she's going to be great in the first round. Right. She's a power puncher who cuts a lot of weight. She's fighting somebody 10, 15 pounds smaller and she hits twice as hard. Now, what do you think when you start to see this happening? What would you

Starting point is 00:12:43 have done different here if you're, uh, if you're Nunez? Okay. I'm Nunez. First off, round one, that's where she made the mistake. She, she come out like she's going to knock her out in the first round, throwing the power punches. She should have barely won round one. I'm serious. I mean, she should have gone out there saying, I'm not going to knock this girl out. Yeah. I'm going to barely win round one. And then I'm going to win round two a little bit better. And I'm going to win round three a little bit, but about round four and five, I don't even give a fuck. I already wanted to fight. I'm just going to do what I can do now. You know what I'm saying? But I think that she went in there. Um, she blasted all of her cannons right off the initial exchange. Because

Starting point is 00:13:19 you were so used to that, you think? Absolutely. When it works so long, you know what I'm saying? It's, uh, it works. You know, if I ain't broke, don't fix it, but she ran into a different stylistic matchup. Here's the thing about, um, when she fought Rousey, Rousey is a great ground fighter. In my opinion, Rousey is probably the best, uh, woman ground fighter that there is out there. Actually, if Rousey and Pena get into it on a ground fight, well, first off, that'd be sexy. Second off, um, second off, um, I'd be second right sitting in the front row because I don't want to spend some time on myself. You know what I'm saying? I want a little camouflage baby. Yeah. Well, second off, I think that Rousey will probably win eventually because of the submissions. I do

Starting point is 00:13:59 not. Against Pena? Against Pena. But here's the thing. Rousey could not get Amanda to the ground. You know what I'm saying? Um, she has that straight up kind of grab them in Clint style. Pena has a style where it's like shoot under and grab the legs, which works amazing if you're talking about a power puncher. Right. Because a power puncher, when you swing, you open up all the openings for that. Like when a mother, when I'm fighting a power puncher, I'm, I'm not thinking, oh, I hope it don't swing hard. I'm thinking, I hope he swings as hard as he fucking can and get them legs. Now, if you run to Rousey, you don't go for the legs. She don't do singles and doubles. She has to go against her opponent in a straight line. That's where she fucked up

Starting point is 00:14:40 with Amanda Nunez, bro. She tried to just close that distance without any type of, uh, entangling in the hands, no distractions, no nothing. She didn't reach the hands. She just tried to go straight at her and, uh, just like a train. But if you would have seen Rousey get Amanda to the ground, you probably would have seen even, even more disparity. Just like the disparity was on the feet, it'd have been the same on the ground. She just never had the, uh, she don't go for those legs, you know? And Amanda, she opens up and throws those big punches. That's when the legs are open. And do you think that's kind of what she saw? Because will you play that back again? Right. That's what Pena did. She took some of her best shots, lured her in, landed just enough

Starting point is 00:15:21 to piss her off and make her want to hit her more. And that's when she got in on that takedown. I'm pretty sure she shot a double leg. I can't remember though. Did she shoot a double? I mean, she's staying in. I could have sworn she got her to the, and you could tell how Nunez is like, how is this not working? And right. Then you just stayed right in there. Just take, I mean, you could see it was like, what is this hitting? Right. And you're absolutely right. She just stayed right in there. And now she's advancing forward. Right. So now she's got a game playing on. And gets her to the fence. Here comes a double. If I'm her, I'm shooting. You'd already shot. I might have, but she was landing there too. I just, I'm curious how she got her down. I'm almost certain she got

Starting point is 00:16:02 her legs. Oh, she tripped her. Okay. There you go. And, and Nunez is cooked here. Yeah, but this ain't her, this ain't her game playing. And she, I mean, think about it's probably been five years at least since she's been in that position in a fight, bro. At least five years. When she choked when it wasn't a choke, right? It was a neck. What, what, what, what was the, what, it was, go back to that last few seconds. It was probably a choke as well. But if it wasn't on the throat, you could still choke somebody right here on the face and the nose. Yeah, what does she have? Maybe she is under there. Man, it looked like she was up on her nose and her mouth. But I don't, and then look like she was on the neck to me either. You know, but I've got to, that was shock.

Starting point is 00:16:46 Yeah. I got a buddy back home. He's actually a 25er, but there's something about the way that like, you know how ants, they can lift like 10 times their own body weight or something. Yeah. Yeah. I never seen it, but they say it all the time. I guess there's videos of it probably. Yeah, bro. Little dudes are like that too. Like you get a little 125er, he can squeeze almost damn near as hard. Actually, in certain positions of 125er can squeeze as hard as a 150 pounder because of like the compactness of the muscles. I got a 125 pound buddy, bro. He does a face crush. He don't even go for the neck. He gets his arm and nose around your face and your mouth. And bro, yeah, you can't fucking breathe. And it's actually, let me tell you why it's worse

Starting point is 00:17:22 than a rear neck of choke because a rear neck of choke, bro, you're kind of just going to like, it's not the most pleasant choke because you actually can't breathe. There are some jokes you can breathe like an arm triangle, bro. I've been put to sleep in them bitches. And one time I got put to sleep in like an arm triangle, bro, I didn't even know. I woke up. I thought I escaped, bro. After the round, the guy was like, the guy was like, bro, you were out. I was like, no way. I thought I got out of that. He said, not only were you out, you were twitching for like 30 seconds. I was like, man, I thought I was dizzy or something. Somebody likes to dance and it's so conscious. But you know, that's a, that's a pleasant choke. You're cutting off both sides

Starting point is 00:18:00 of the blood. You could be in it and then just boom, wake up and not even know you're out sometimes. That rear neck of choke, bro, you're going to cut off your air supply, your breathing. Oh dude, it's, it's miserable. And so the one you're talking about your buddy though, what is that one like? You can't breathe in. So you're getting that effective. Like you can't actually get it air in like to your lungs. But it's over your face or to your neck. It's over your face and it crushes the fuck out of your draw. It feels like your teeth are about to get just literally just fucking just all, you know, jacked. So was that a new thing? It's like his own thing. It's like it's his own thing. It's like, you know, but you probably got to have a wide, I mean, you got to

Starting point is 00:18:34 have a wide, a girth of, you got to be strong. Fuck like just compact man. And I mean, I'm not saying I can't do it, but it's like, okay, we'll put it this way. I'm better suited for twisters. You know, I got my bow legs and all that shit. Like I've got my things that I do. You got your own things. Yeah, you can't do it all. That ain't my fucking thing, bro. I'm telling you that is his thing. Yeah, you might evolve into getting into doing something else. Well, these motherfuckers, they can make lemonade, bro. They can put them lemons right there and just squeeze it. That's how the Russians do it. When you look at them. I hope you like that stuff, brother. I'll spice it up a little bit next time. I'll do some chili

Starting point is 00:19:17 pepper, a little cumin, you know what I mean? The spice is a little bit low, but it's low. It's plain, you know what I'm saying? It's a very comfortable eat. That's right. That's right. This is a comfortable eat, bro. It's like holding a damn baby in your mouth. It's like holding a damn little venison baby, son. Absolutely. My first bow kill. Was it? It was. So, what do you, I know you've been doing a ton to kill your time. I want to talk about the fights a little bit more than them. Yeah, it was, what's the thing that you kind of missed the most? I mean, obviously the fighting, but do you feel like this time that, because as a fighter, you only have so much time really. You know, when you

Starting point is 00:19:59 look at the breadth of these guys' career, they get to 30. Some guys, you have the, you know, unanimally, like Glover to share or whatever, but a lot of guys, it's probably 32, 34. I love that guy to share. Oh, yeah. So inspiring. Yeah. God. Great. I met him. Oh, you met him? Yeah. It was a World Series of Fighting, and this is before, you know, he's the champ. This is like probably five years ago, and, bro, he's like all bite, no bark. Wow. Like, bro, he just literally sits there so chill. So, I mean, just very soft-spoken. It's a fucking killer, bro. That's crazy. I mean, there's not too many people at what,

Starting point is 00:20:36 44, maybe something like that, you know, getting that championship belt. No. I mean, there's something inside of that guy. You know what I'm saying? Something special. Yeah. He might be the oldest champ ever. Yeah. I think so. If, if he's not, that shit don't count because it's like way back in the day, you know, Tank Abbot type of shit. It was like, yeah, it wasn't even real. He has like a homemade belt. That's right. Do what? But Tank Abbot's a bad motherfucker, too, but it's just two completely different playing fields. You know what I'm saying? Tank Abbot was fighting other bar fighters years, his age. Bring up a Tank Abbot. You know, a little bit half drunk. You know what I'm

Starting point is 00:21:16 saying? To Sharers going in there fighting dudes half his age, who he's had twice as many fights as he's been knocked out a couple of times and he don't give a fuck. He just comes back and you know, so that's, he's, he's, he's legit, man. He's taking so many hits, man. Some of the fights I saw, I saw Anthony Smith the other night and that was crazy. That fight that they, I mean, I just can't even believe watching some of these guys, the histories that they've had. When you watch the, uh, the Pourie Oliveira, what else do you think are the card? What else do you think are the card? Well, you know, I got there a little bit late. I showed up right when Sean O'Malley was fighting. That's when you started watching? Yeah. Yeah. Sean O'Malley fight.

Starting point is 00:21:53 Do you go to the fights? No, I've never been to one of the live ones. Yeah. This one was actually at a T-Bor. Oh, you were? Yeah. Oh, man. What's it called? It's called the peppermint hippo. Oh, look, sometimes you got to give a big girl a mint. You know what I'm saying? The spruces are up a little. I'm going to need it. Blue chew, baby.

Well, you know, I ain't even into titty bars, but my buddy, TJ Brown, he kind of was doing like a hosting of a party down there. Oh, yeah. I'm cool with TJ. So I showed up and I just wanted to watch the fights and Buffalo Wild Wings ain't even got no food that's like real good. I thought there might be food at t-bar. There wasn't, but there's titties. Yeah, that's it. Food for your heart, bro. Food for your libido. But bro, I ain't been to one of them and I mean, so long, bro. That ain't my scene, you know what I'm saying? But there were fights and all that. So yeah, I got family members that have danced, bro. And like

Starting point is 00:25:03 the one in our town where you would where the where the girls would learn that like the local strip club it had the ceiling was low in there and the stage was kind of high. So they would have to like go up on stage and duck down, dude. They were like ducking and stripping, bro. Hey, this is actually heavy. Everything was a twerk in there. Bro, this was actually the best strip club I've ever been to. Really? And it's the exact opposite layout, bro. The ceiling is way up and these girls was acting like the higher they went up, the more they got paid. I ain't kidding. There's a girl hanging by the rafters. I ain't playing. She got up there hung by the rafters and then she's doing some 360 spin shit on the way down and I thought fell out, bro. I thought she dropped on accident.

Starting point is 00:25:42 She does a trick where she lets go and then right before the last second she catches on the pole. Bro, I thought she was dead. Damn. Yeah, I was going to do CPR or something. Yeah, I bet she was, dude. Like, hey, that's the wrong lips, bud. Wrong lips. Desperate time called for desperate measures, man. Hey, buddy. My lungs are up here. Riley, how do we look on these cameras? Is everything okay? Are all our cameras okay? Everyone looks great. Okay, cool. Yeah, what do you think of the finale there with Olivera and Poirier? So, you know, that's a great fight. It looked to me like Olivera had more weapons in his arsenal and that's what it came down to. Here was a telling sign for me during a fight when Olivera got that first takedown. Here's the difference,

Starting point is 00:26:44 okay? Mm-hmm. Olivera gets dropped. What does DP do? Tries to knock him out. No, he lets him up, didn't he? Let me think. I swear he let him up. Yeah, maybe he let him up. And it's just like, he is a lot better at the boxing, but this is in Poirier's mind. He's thinking, I'm going to knock this guy out with boxing. Yeah, I think that's his natural first thought. It's his natural first thought is I'm going to let him up and box with him and knock him out some more. I'm going to drop him again. Now, this is what Coach Bryce says, and Coach Bryce ain't shit on Poirier. Poirier, come over here and beat my ass right now. And actually, I want to train with him. You know, I'm not, I'm not saying, but looking back at a fight, you can look back at all

Starting point is 00:27:25 my losses and say, hey, you should have, and I'll say, yeah, you're right. I should have. Right, yeah. Oh, it's easy for us to sit here and say anything. It is so fucking easy, but if, say, we redo it and I'm wanting DP, my dude to win. Right. And I'm DP's coach and say, if I say it, he does it. Right. I say, when you drop him, get in his guard, grind out that first round. Maybe you're not going to finish him probably unless you hurt him real bad because Charles got that guard, but do not ever be scared to engage on the ground with an opponent. Yeah. That fear will manifest itself. I promise you. And it's not the same. He's not afraid of Charles Oliver's ground game. That's not what I'm saying, but it's more like too much respect. It's like, bro,

Starting point is 00:28:03 you're Dustin Poirier and he's fucking rocked. You get on him and you just keep fucking just, just well down punches. And if I was his coach, I would tell him, I don't give a fuck how good his guard is. Yeah. You get in there and you fuck him up. His guard ain't going to be that good. Right. You know what I'm saying? And so, yeah, I could see it being a level of like, respecting. It was, it was a level of respect is all that. Yeah. He just has this like, there's a, he has this, this mutual kind of thing. Yeah. And like I said, he wanted to knock him out with the boxing. Yeah. But if I was coach, I'd be Dustin going there, getting his guard, you know, keep him down and just win the rest of that round, conserve a little bit of your

Starting point is 00:28:38 energy. Right. Then the second round, I believe that Olivera gets DP down and this is what. Yeah. That's when Olivera got him down and was throwing those elbows. They weren't laying in like, it didn't look super flush, but some, I'm sure they were, they were, uh, so they hurt. Yeah, bro. When they hit you in the teeth, you could feel because they were laying right here and here. And, you know, those elbows hurt, you know, but he had a body triangle, walked around his body and you can do that every now and then, you know, because to kind of recover or anything, but I think he held that body triangle. He was actually holding himself in that position. Oh, Dustin was the whole time. Damn right. So it's having to gas. No, well,

Starting point is 00:29:15 Dustin was kind of holding, trying to keep his body close to him, I think, so he didn't have that distance to, to attack. Cause he didn't want his back to get taken. And so, and so, um, I would tell him, I'd say, Dustin, open that body triangle. You cannot, how can you stand up on your feet if they're locked around your opponent? I say, Dustin, you've got to knock this guy out or you got to at least bust him up. You got to open your legs up and you got to fight to get up. Now the problem is if he opens his legs up, then what's possible putting his feet on the ground, planting them and getting back up. Now the risk there is that all of their circles to his back or grabs a headlock. But here's the thing. Would you rather the dude choke you out with the rear naked choke or get

Starting point is 00:29:53 you in a guillotine on the way up? Or would you rather sit and lose that, that, that round by round by round with that body triangle? And, uh, you know, I've done a lot of bad things and fight, but I think when he looks back at it, he'll say, you know what, I'm not going to do that body triangle no more. I'm going to get back to my feet if my opponent gets me down, because he was kind of keeping himself there in that position. But it all came, all those, all those things you saw was the manifestation of the over respect that he gave to Olivera. And I say, oh, it's one thing to say, okay, Olivera is good on the ground and I don't want to go to the ground with him. It's another to say, he's so good on the ground. I'm not going to open up my guard. I'm

Starting point is 00:30:31 going to hold him on top of me. No, you can't be giving him that much respect. Fuck that. Yeah. I think Dustin is loves fighting. So like the actual, he likes, he likes, he likes, if we like, I think that's his thing. So he's one of the best in the fucking world. And here's the thing, you get a map, you get a matchup like, so if I was good at it, I would do it. If I'm, you know, if I'm good with a dagger, I ain't going to tickle somebody. That's right. You know what I'm saying? So it's like, just because it's like, it's not the same thing. Well, you know, there's, there's matchups like for Poyer that I just think he'll win every, everyone. I'm like, the perfect matchup form is karma Greger. Yeah. A guy who, who power punches doesn't do as good

Starting point is 00:31:11 in the later rounds. He does better in the first rounds, whereas DP does better in the later rounds. So you get a DP and a Conor McGregor matchup. There's not a time in the fight where Dustin has to worry about getting taken down, getting choked. He's in his element and you're going, you're going to see him fully unleashed, but you put him up against the Charles Rivera, Olivera, and you're going to see in some positions more timidity because of that respect for the ground game. And I don't, and this is my honest assessment of Dustin's ground game. I don't think the disparities as big as it is in his head. Right. I think he was a little bit too worried about Olivera's ground game. Like I said, when he dropped him, I'm pouncing. Yeah, I don't know.

Starting point is 00:31:50 I didn't, I didn't talk to him enough about the actual fighting and stuff before about what his mindset was. He's good on the ground, man. I think he was just expecting the third round. It would get back up to the feet. The feet. Yeah. And then that's where it would kind of stay. And so we'd have a, you know, and then it just, it just, and I think also, I think Dustin was most bummed. I gotta say this, my last loss, guy took me down and I got choked out trying to get up. You know what I'm saying? So I've been on the other end of it. Right. So it's just, you know, it's easy to sit here and say, Oh, you could have, but my last fight, bro, I wish that I would have got up safer. I don't, if anything, maybe I should have stayed on the

Starting point is 00:32:31 ground the rest of the fight because I could have won a decision possibly, but I learned a valuable lesson, man. And every fight, there's something to learn. Yeah. I mean, look, I obviously have, you know, like, I get scared of things. Yeah, I'm scared of something. So I know nothing, but it's like, it's definitely just, it's interesting to sit back and talk about it. And it's what we do as humans. We see what happened and we look at it and, and it's like, I just know also Dustin was bum, probably he wanted to fight more. That's the thing too. And I think it's the same with guys like you. It's like, you just want to fight more. Like we got five or let's at least do four, you know what I'm saying? Like, even if you already won, let's do another, you know,

Starting point is 00:33:11 like, um, let's just keep it going. Uh, man, the energy in there was so wild, man. Um, if you engage you as backs, gate, she's just backstage literally. It's like, who can I fight? Who can I fight? Who can I fight? He's ready to go. Oh, bro, he's ready to go. Let me tell you why I think that, um, Gachie is a great matchup for Olivera. Because yeah, what do you, what do you think would happen to Olivera Gachie? Because I feel like that's probably what's going to be next. I don't think you're going to see a Poirier, Olivera rematch, because I think it makes sense. Or he could go make money fighting McGregor. That's what I think. You know, he might just get that, that money fight or a Nate Diaz fight. They would pay him

Starting point is 00:33:50 so much money for that Nate Diaz fight. Two punches. And he's in a position, bro. He don't even have to worry about fighting for the belt. He's a fucking bajillionaire or whatever he is. You know what I'm saying? Like, yeah, he's made him some money in it. So he's not going to be typical with him. He's going to do something crazy. I bet you, you know. So what does the belt mean to people? Because Dustin was an interim champion. So that is a, that's a champion. You know, it's, um, especially with the way the belt is kind of used as like a, it's a bait. They use it. Sometimes it's who's definitely obviously it's always who's great. But sometimes it's used by the administration over there. It seems like it is like a, well, you know, everybody's path is different. And

Starting point is 00:34:28 I don't think that these people who have the belts are fucking built different than any but, you know, they had good circumstances and, and, and a lot of them are great and everything and are elite and stuff. But I put it this way, man, if I'm in a fucking street fight and I'm fighting for my life and, and there's one person I have my back and, and they said, it's Dustin Poyer. I'm thinking, fuck, yeah, I don't give a fuck what belt he's got this or that. Dustin Poyer can fight anybody. Yeah, I don't care if he's wearing it. I don't give a fuck who it is. I don't care if he's wearing a belt from Banana Republic. That's right. I want DP having my back. You know what I'm saying? And, uh, you know, here's another thing, man, with that,

Starting point is 00:35:07 that championship stuff, man, it's like, I hate to see these people get the belt and then they act like they're gods or something. You know what I mean? Like it's, um, okay. McGregor double champ, right? Yeah. Okay. DPA ain't a fucking double champ. Okay. Who wins when they fight? Right. You know, you know who wins. Right. So it's interesting. It's interesting what it ain't all about that. Right. And people's paths are different. He has a lot of fights. He had some rough nights and, you know, it he's a championship fighter. I don't give a fuck if he has a belt or not. Like I said, I'm comfortable with him having my back in any street fight. Amen, man. Yeah. I, uh, it's definitely interesting. It's interesting to see different guys pass. Now,

Starting point is 00:35:47 Dustin has made, obviously he's had, he's had some choices and made some choices and had some blessings where he's gotten to have a stronger financial side than probably a lot of fighters have. That's right. Um, and do you think how does that start to influence other fighters to do their own things? I know you got your, um, you got your music now that you got, you know, which is cool, man. It's fun. We listen to grandmother's grave or decent amount, man. Thank you so much. Yeah, dude. It's crazy. It's actually one of my favorite ones. I like problems in my head and grandmother's grave. What do I like? I like, uh, what's, oh, dark and solid. Yeah, dude. Yeah. Um, just thanks so much for listening, brother. Yeah. It's just interesting that where did some of that kind of

Starting point is 00:36:30 like, do you see guys doing different things and doing creative stuff? And does that, is that kind of what inspires you to be like, you know what? I'm going to do some, I'm going to do some of my own stuff as well. Is it just you wanting to express yourself? Where does it, where do you feel like any of that kind of comes from? The expression of it. Yeah. You know, uh, the first song I made, it was just, uh, it wasn't supposed to be a mix tape or nothing. I was just making it. I made it from old lady, you know, and, uh, cause we fighting over some petty shit and I just wanted to let her know this is petty, you know, kind of explain, express myself. Right. And then she was like, well, that was really good. You should make another one. You should make another one.

Starting point is 00:37:05 Start fucking putting out hitters, brother. Dang baby. Let's go. And what, uh, and so then did you, did you match up with somebody to help you make some beats or how'd that happen? I got them all off of YouTube. Wow. And then I, uh, I went to the, uh, Joker in Little Rock and his name's Kev. But, uh, you know, we went up there and cooked us up a little mix tape gang, gang, baby. Yeah. Pastor fire. You guys can check it out. If you haven't checked it out. Um, yeah, I put a little heart and soul in there, man. And a lot of great lyrics, man. Thank you very much, brother. And it's just hard up them like a damn prison. Yes, sir. Got bars for life. Oh, son, you in boy. You doing a damn seven life sentences on some of

Starting point is 00:37:45 them lyrics, man. There's a lot. It's, uh, what did that? Yeah. What kind of time did that take? Oh, the first one, the first song on there made about a year and a half, maybe two years ago. And then I wasn't really focused on it. And then I made another song and another one. And, uh, each song probably took a couple of weeks to write except the first one. The first one took like two days. Um, and then I would just kind of casually work on other ones that wouldn't like until about the last month. And then I was like, really like, okay, I really want to put this out there. I got about six songs. I'm going to finish the seventh one. I'm going to put this out there. And then I started feeling like that, that, okay, I need to finish this. I need to wrap it up. And I got that

Starting point is 00:38:22 feeling. But while I was making most of the song, I didn't have any type of timeline. I was just having fun with it. Yeah. Wow. Yeah, that's gotta be nice. And so it didn't really, it was just kind of a passion project. It wasn't like a absolute 100% passion. And it wasn't something you're just waking up and doing like, I gotta get this money, bro. I'm fucking using YouTube beats and you know what I'm saying? Like, right? It's, yeah. And it's, it's, it's more, it's more about the, the money and it's about, um, the greatest thing that I could do is to relate to people that watch my fights, that, you know, just to relate to people. If there's somebody out there that, that heard, even if it's one fucking verse and they heard it and they thought, shoot, I'm

Starting point is 00:39:00 going through that too. You know, and it's like, okay, well now I got something in common with that guy. I mean, that's kind of like my brother, even though he don't fucking know me. He heard my song and he heard my, you know, and now we got this, this, we're going through the same shit type of, type of feel. Yeah. Well, yeah. Cause the music always connects people to the same as with, yeah, you hear somebody. It's like Eminem. You hear something and you're like, damn, that's my fucking. That's one of my favorites right there. Yeah. You're like, that's my guy, man. Do you, uh, do you feel like you need to do stuff to try and keep your name out to deep? Did you start to ever feel like that a little bit? Because it's, it's tough because it's like you,

Starting point is 00:39:39 you don't disappear. You're there, you know, you have a great rank of your top 50th, your 10 or 11 and some of the rankings or whatever the rankings are kind of, um, but that you can't get out there and express yourself. You know, you're, you're, you're expressing as limited because you can't get in there. That's what I feel fighting is. And same with the music and, uh, you know, the feeling of people forgetting about me or whatever. It is true. Everybody, if you stop fighting, people forget about you, but that ain't why I fight. It is this inner desire to express this, uh, most of us fucking anger, frustration, you know, and it's, and it's, um, it's more about all I care that is that God's watching me. You know what I'm saying? Like that I have a purpose

Starting point is 00:40:23 that I'm fighting for something and I don't give a fuck who's watching. If I feel like God has told me to go in there and fight to better my life, to better, uh, potentially better my family's life, that's what I'm doing it for. It's not for any type of attention. I did not put the mix tape out for attention. I put it out, um, like say I put it out anonymous, anonymously. People didn't even know it was mine. I wouldn't even, I wouldn't even give a fuck as long as people liked it. You know, I just want people to relate to it and feel good. It's just expression. And bro, I ain't made no fucking money off that. I put hundreds and hundreds of dollars into it. You know what I'm saying? Like it ain't about, it ain't about that. It was about letting that shit out

Starting point is 00:41:00 of me. And, and, you know, it's been built up for a long time. And like when I'm, when I'm fighting or whatever, man, you get these emotions. It's just like the closest thing you could feel to like God, you know what I'm saying? Like I'll be fighting sometimes and I'll just like make myself, or I'll be rapping sometimes and I'll make myself laugh. I'll make myself cry. I'll get mad at some shit that I say, like I'll be in the middle of a rap freestyle and in the car or something. And so fuck, you know, it makes me so mad. Just thinking of that memory and I'm like hitting a steering wheel and shit. And then I'm like, okay, I just snapped out of it. That's not, I'm not doing that for money. Right. You know what I'm saying? That's like, I'm letting this

Starting point is 00:41:37 shit out. Yeah. Yeah, I think that's one of the things even just like, you know, Dustin's probably the fighter that I know, the kind of the closest. So it's been interesting to just, I can understand exactly what you're saying. Like if you look at his early stuff, it's like, it's just this anger. It's this angry guy fighting. Yeah. And then you see as you, as he starts to get older and evolve that you get to know, he's gets to express himself in other ways. It's like, you almost got to fucking get these layers of anger out of you. So you can get to the stuff that's different. So you can have opportunities to like get your voice out there. It's like, I hope my anger goes away one of these days. But not before you have a few more good bouts out there. You don't say I

Starting point is 00:42:21 need a little bit of it on. Yeah. What else did I want to get into, man? Okay. So when you look at your, how do you see your path to, to the belt? You guys have an interesting, y'all's weight class is so interesting just the way some of these guys are built. You know, I feel like if it gets a little bit lower in weight class than yours, a lot of the guys are body types are really very similar. But y'all's weight class, it's like some of these guys, the body styles to me look really different, you know, just as a, just a regular viewer. What, what, what do you see your kind of path making it up through the rankings and some of the your future here, your path to the belt? What do you see your path to the belt? I'm biased, right? You know, I think two more big wins and

Starting point is 00:43:03 I'm getting a title shot. Damn baby. So who could that be? So your neck is your next fight, Barbosa? Is that? I don't know. I mean, we're still seeing. Yeah, we're still seeing, you know, I'm just waiting on it. And yeah, but I don't really have a preference just the higher ranked better. Right. He's plenty high ranked. So. Oh yeah. Shit. Yeah. I mean, that's a dude to be fight to be entering into the top 10. Right. I mean, that's huge. Bro, in my head, I've already done it a billion times. And like in my head, you're asking like, you're asking what's the path to the belt? Like I'm already fucking champ in my head, bro. Like I don't want to be arrogant and stuff, but bro, I am the fucking champ. If you ask me in my trailer when I'm chilling, bro,

Starting point is 00:43:46 I'm the fucking champ. What? Well, then let's maybe we'll jump off a fight. What do y'all got playing coming up for holiday? Are you still seeing the same lady? No, brother. It's all right, man. It's just, you know, going different paths and ain't nothing wrong with that, you know. Yeah. And have you been dating? Have you been in the dating pool out there? Your naps or anything like that? No, I've just been laying low, brother. Like I said, I went to the two bar of gas most, you know, I've even seen females in a while. So, you know, but like I said, that ain't my scene. I've just been kind of training and whatnot, but I ain't even worried about it. Yeah. You have a gym at home now that you're training? I'm working on it. It's actually really close to being built. I'm

Starting point is 00:44:28 building a block wall because I have to lean these mats up against the wall and I don't have a wall to lean them up against. So I'm building a block wall. It's got to be nine blocks high. I'm seven and a half of the nine block rows. Gang, baby. So it's getting close. Yeah. We had some questions that came in. Let's get into one of our video questions. Rob, do you want to pull one up here? What's up, Theo? What's up, Thug Nasty? Gang, baby. First off, if Thug Nasty, I'm talking to you, man. If you were in the cage with a gorilla and a panda bear, over or under, how long would it take you to sleep both of them out? Let me know. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, that's an animal question. I would never sleep a panda bear. That panda bear would have my back. First off,

Starting point is 00:45:20 let's get that. So it's me and panda bear versus gorilla. Yeah, now we turned it up. Shit, man. I'm going to be like dancing around the panda bear while he and then try to jump on the gorilla. Go for the rear naked. Actually, gorilla is dangerous, though. Absolutely, bro. I mean, he might as well say, he might as well say Tyrone Woodley. I mean, that's the same. My fucking thing. You know, it's like same risk there. You're going to get fucking smashed. But damn, a gorilla is so dangerous. Yeah, that's right. That's right. You know, I would go for the choke, bro. I'd have to like use the panda as the decoy. Yeah, there you go. That was the same kung fu panda. Yeah. It'd be like that. It'd be like the

Starting point is 00:45:59 final scene in that movie, bro. Yeah, y'all got to use each other if y'all are in there together. That'd be great. You get in there and then you and the panda freaking you guys join forces, you know, like, yeah. That's right. And then you guys go straight at that gorilla, bro. I fucking hope Herb Dean's there that night. That's all I got to say. Dude, I got to meet Herb Dean, man. Dude, the other night was so crazy. So it was just a crazy night. So I went to the fights, right? With this guy, David Spade. He was in Tommy Boy. Oh, yeah. Joe Dirt. Yeah, Joe Dirt. That's my fucking bro, my bro. Just like Joe Dirt when I do. Oh, yeah, dude. That's our president. So I went to the fights with him. I sit down. We're in the front row, dude. Like Dana is literally

Starting point is 00:46:40 like four feet away. So I'm watching him like sit there. Like he's kind of watching on his computer and then he's on his phone sometimes or like he had a young fighter, I think from Brazil or from another country that came up that was sitting there watching the fights with him for a little while, this female fighter. Halle Berry was next to Spade. I saw that. Is that her boyfriend that was with her? I think that's maybe her boyfriend or husband. Probably actor. Yeah, Van, I think is his name. I saw her there with another guy. I think I couldn't hear it. It was a little loud in there, but and then Tommy Lee. Is that the closest you've been to the to the fights? That really was because I'd sat in Joe Rogan's seats before, but I'd never put this. I mean, it was just as close.

Starting point is 00:47:21 Plus, you got a good friend fighting. Oh, that's different. Oh, yeah. I was so am. Yeah, it's amazing. I think what like when you become a UFC become my favorite sport in the past two years, I realized that during the pandemic. Absolutely. Like, damn, this is my favorite sport. Like there's when you when you really get into it, it's like there's not other sports with the consequences or the the rewards. You know what I'm saying? It's like it's so like I can't watch a football game and I don't feel nothing. Right. You know what I'm saying? I'm like, where's the guacamole? You know, where's the cheese dip? Yeah, I'm here to eat. Yeah. Yeah, you're right, man. There's nothing like at the fight. Just like, man, people come in and it's just this moment of like

Starting point is 00:48:04 there's going to be this moment of clarity and it's such a euphemism for just life, bro. Like you can try so hard and you can still be great. You just might not get the outcome that you want. That's right. That's what's pretty fascinating. It's like you see because so many of the fighters to me are heroes. That's what I realized when I'm there the other night. I'm like, oh my god, everybody I run into, I feel like is a hero. And your heroes die in the sport, man. Yeah. Yeah, and they die, but they're but the it's like win or lose kind of it's they're still the hero. Oh, they're still the hero. Yeah, it's still a hero, but it's like that let down is like it's like when one of my buddies loses, it's like, man, I feel his pain for him. Oh, man. Yeah, dude,

Starting point is 00:48:47 I was teared up after dusk. I just it's like, oh, you just know that people want you know that there's this we I think everybody at times carries like a storybook idea of the way they think things are going to go or they could go and you see so much evidence that it's going to be like this and it could be anything. I might win a fight. I might get married. I might have a child, you know, and then whatever things happen that God wants or whatever the way it shakes out, it's just not how it shakes out. And it's just such there's so many like intense moments of it's like life just it's such a fucking life that happens on those nights when you guys are doing those fights. It sucks like a I think that's where I can relate the most as a human. You're

Starting point is 00:49:35 relating on a human level because you're like, man, this is there's wins and losses right here and there's dreams and there's especially talk about wives and children and a lot of those fighters, they really need that for their kids.

He was out there fighting and his wife was sitting there and there's two boys are there and they're like start punching each other and then they're cheering and then like, oh, she's like losing her mind. And it was just one of the craziest moments ever to sit there and watch them like watch their dad and husband and like all this crazy energy and yeah, dude. And then I kept running into different people and oh, and then Dominic Cruz came up to me and he's been in a war, right? And he won and he has on these sunglasses and so I couldn't tell it was him, right? And I'm like, this guy, I feel like he's in the witness

Starting point is 00:53:00 protection program. He is protected up and then we start talking and I'm like, oh my god, this is Dominic Cruz, man. It just and I just was like, holy shit, this is my favorite sport. It's like, yeah, I'm not really thinking about the guacamole. I'm not even thinking about eating. That's right. That's right. You know, I'm just thinking like, man, I don't want to miss a moment of this like, it's like, it's like you have all these arteries and all these veins, but then it all comes together for this fucking heart, you know, and there's just so much right there. And then there's so much respect between everybody. Yeah, for the most part there is, man. And that's, that's my style. Yeah. You know, I do like talking some shit if somebody wants to

Starting point is 00:53:41 talk some shit, but I'm not going to initiate it. You know, I would actually much rather respect them and all that, but I do like it when the people talk shit because then it makes it a lot easier to fight them. Yeah. You know what I mean? Oh, I guess it is interesting. Like, do you think there's a difference? Yeah. What is the difference going into a fight where somebody, where there's been a lot of trash talking and there's one where there's nothing? Is there, does the motivation change a little? Yeah. The, maybe not the motivation to win, but I'm talking about the motivation to truly hurt the person. I think in my, in my mind, you're sick if you sit there and like think about hurting somebody that you, that you like. Like,

Starting point is 00:54:19 but when I, then somebody calls me a bitch, like, bro, I can sit there and think about just stomping your fucking head till hurting pulls me off. Like, fuck the rules, bro. I'm going to stump your fucking head. But like, if I like you and you got kids and you got, it's like, I'm going to think about winning, but I don't, I'm going to hurt you as little as possible. You know what I'm saying? Right. Like, right. And there is a difference in that for me, but I don't, I don't think, I don't think, I think it can affect your performance, but I think that I've, I've blocked out all of that. And either way, I think my performance, whether I like the person or not, is going to be the same because take this into account too. It can also, that can backfire.

Starting point is 00:54:56 You know, if you hold the coal, you'll, you'll get burnt. You know what I'm saying? So you got all this animosity because this dude's calling you a bitch or whatever. Right. It could be his game. That could be his game. That's right. So, but here's, here's how I handle that. Okay. There might be a chance in that fight where you've already knocked him out or whatever. He's sitting there laying down Herb Deans halfway across the octagon. Yeah. You get that extra second. If that motherfucker called me a bitch, all right, well, we're going to see if I hit like a bitch before, before Herb gets there. That's all I've got to say. Pre-Herb, baby. That's right. Whatever I have is pre-Herb.

Starting point is 00:55:32 This is about that Herb half second. And I wonder sometimes if Herb just laid back another course. He don't like all the motherfuckers. He might just let him get an extra one. I bet there is a time. I mean, not on Herb, but on any referee of anything. Because I remember, I used to use the referee flag football. Did I used to work at like the student center or whatever in school? And so I, and dude, there were, sometimes I wouldn't even pay. I would call kind of just, you can't help but lean a little. That's just nature. That's right. Yeah. What about this Woodley? When you see this, like this Woodley, Paul, the second fight, do you see the first one? I saw the highlights of it. Yeah. I saw that Woodley rocked him pretty

Starting point is 00:56:11 good at one point. But there weren't many. Probably, yeah. Woodley rocked him. That's what I'm saying. Out of the high, I watched the highlights and it's like, the highlight video was a little bit slow. So I'm thinking, okay, I'm not going to go watch the whole fight. But there was that one punch that Woodley landed. And that's honestly all I saw of it. Yeah. That's all. I mean, there wasn't a ton to it, man. But man, good for him, bro, making all that money. Yeah. Fighting guys that ain't as dangerous as what he was fighting. Like, I mean, he's fucking really doing it. Yeah. And he's been through. Well, I mean, that guy's taken a lot of punches over there. Do you think that he'll, the thing about Woodley though is you're literally yell screaming for him to punch.

Starting point is 00:56:46 Right. Right. And he doesn't punch. Yeah. Yeah. Bro, when he makes all that money, and he's sitting there just like, that's a good point. I think that, you know, if he was poor, he probably fighting a little bit different. That might be true. I mean, I would say so. He might come out in a damn lazy boy on this next one that he might, he might roll out and relax, man. Damn. That's right. He really might. In between rounds, they got that lazy boy reclining. That's a good point. What if he just walked in and said, look, I'm just here to count money. You guys are the fools. Shoot. I mean, it's been done before people, people throw fights. I'll tell you what, back in the pride days, you know, that Yakuza was real popular. I don't know if you,

Starting point is 00:57:28 you know, pride kind of that old school boxing ring. Yeah. Yakuza fixed a bunch of those fights. Really? Yeah. A bunch of them. Yeah. Huh. Some mob activity going on. Damn, boy. Yeah. So what I heard would happen is they'll get you in the hotel and they'll come up to you. You know, a couple guys deep, throw up on you. Got the, got the leather sofa. That's right. Leather, leather, leather jacket. That's right. Somebody wearing turtle neck. Damn right. You know, a couple of them looking mean. I sit you down now. Open up the briefcase. Half a million cash. You know, say, hey, do you want to lose in the second round? And close the briefcase. Yes, sir. Right. I don't give a fuck. Fuck, I'm probably going to lose anyway. Yeah. Shit. I don't know if I'll make it to the

Starting point is 00:58:12 second round. I might lose in the first. I'm going to lose in the first. I'm going to trip on the stairs on my way in. Man. What do you, do you know if you will fight in February? Is that, is your data locked? Do we know that yet? No, a date ain't locked. A opponent ain't locked. It's just, I mean, I have no clue to be honest with you. And how's your injury? Have you felt, do you feel back to 100%? Yeah, I feel back to 100%. I mean, we don't know if, until I get in there and land a hard hit. But if I punch like that again, it'll probably break again. You know, so I'm going to change up my, my punching a little bit, try to go for more accuracy. I've been training kung fu though. Really? So if I break the hand, bro, I'm good. I got my kung

Starting point is 00:58:53 fu. So now what does that mean? Oh, okay. You know what I'm saying? Right. I'm going to open hand on these motherfuckers. Can you do that though? You can you do? Can you hit open handed? Yes, as long as you ain't like doing that, as long as you're doing that, you're fine. So, you know, I'll break the hand again. That's kind of like Connor. Connor has some of that. He does a little bit of some crazy shit. You know what I'm saying? Damn, bro. Kung fu? Bro, you could really kill somebody with that kung fu, man. That country kung fu. Bro, straight that palm to the nose. You already know that nose going to the brain. That's all they ever said growing up, dude, if you get somebody like that. That's right. That's, that's damn right, brother. I mean,

Starting point is 00:59:33 I don't even want to do that to somebody. I only do that if I have to. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I'm going to go in there closed fist. Yeah. If the hand breaks, bro, I got to go old school kung fu. Have you ever had somebody roll up on you that didn't know you were a fighter that's tried to get into it with you? I'm sure in your area, everybody kind of knows now. I mean, kind of last scuffle that I got into is kind of like that. It was years and years ago, but, uh, you know, you know, some people talk shit. It's, you know, nothing too crazy though. You know, I would much rather like avoid a situation. You know what I'm saying? Because yeah, the consequences are pretty bad. You know, right? Would you, if you're about to get in a

Starting point is 01:00:16 fight with somebody and they didn't know you were a professional, would you say, Hey, man? No. No, I wouldn't fucking tell them. There we go. I ain't saying shit. They're going to find out. It's a ride. I'm going to try some new moves. Yeah. Right. Which all's our Christmas look like over there, man. What you guys got going on in Arkansas? What's my pep? I was going to Florida, so I'm going to go to my mom's and pep on and be there. I might have my aunt, my cousins, my mom, my sister, um, you know, maybe even some buddies come over, but just, you know, turkey dressing, sweet potatoes, mashed taters, fried okra. And you bring anything or are they doing all the cooking? I'm bringing that okra. Are you? I got that okra on lock, brother. Oh yeah. Had 192 okra plants this

Starting point is 01:01:05 year. Really? Of your own? That's right. Wow. One of them is over seven foot tall. I about had to get a ladder to pick the okra off top of it. Yeah. 192 plants, brother. Wow. Probably put in, like, when I got to picking on my best day, I picked, uh, it was almost, it was 10 gallons of okra. I filled up two, five gallon buckets with it. So that's on my best day. Wow. Pick 10 gallons. And you like, is that when you pay your vegetables, okra? Oh, fuck yeah. Damn, really? Love it. Yeah. Yeah. Love it. Such a strange vegetable, man. Love it, brother. Sometimes I feel like I don't know if we supposed to be eating it. You ain't tried it till you fried it. Oh, really? Did you fry it? Yeah, I've had it before. I've had fried. I never, I never fried my own. I think

Starting point is 01:01:48 I've only had these. Are you talking about restaurant fry? Yeah. Brother, I don't do it good, like mama does it. Really? Let me tell you what. All right, all right. Was the okra, could you see any green on it? Was it covered in breading? Uh, I think it was probably covered in breading. That ain't right. That ain't right. Okay. You're getting most of that breading, you ain't getting all the okra. You got to lightly bread it. Okay. Little salt, little pepper, brother, trust me. You'll be okra, man. You come over this Christmas. Okay. Rice Mitchell's okra, man. That's right. What if you came out with a cool, yeah, what other things, because you got, I saw you did a car commercial, too, which is fucking hilarious, bro. I'm glad you like that.

Starting point is 01:02:28 Dude, that shit is so fucking ridiculous and funny, bro. That's right, brother. Hell, yeah. Dude, I'm gonna just pull up a clip of it. Everybody likes that line. I would have made it on time. I love this. Let's go, boy. I love it. That's my favorite part, breaking the window. That's fucking sick, bro. That's what came up with the script. This is cool, too, punching this thing, man. The whole thing is against that. I came up with the script. You did? Yeah. They were actually surprised. I don't think that they thought that I could come up with some shit like this. Yeah, you threw their own humor on a boy, hit them, huh? Hit them, dude. That dude looks just like a car salesman.

Starting point is 01:03:18 And it's so random. I'm shooting a 44 Magnum in a commercial just completely randomly. I'm shooting a fucking pistol. And they let you shoot it right at the vehicle. Fuck yeah, shoot the car. Look at that. That's awesome. That's so crazy. That's good, Riley. That's crazy. Yeah, brother. Yeah, what kind of stuff do you see yourself like? What kind of other are there other ventures you start thinking about? Because I could see you having a cooking lemon. You got some. I want to have a restaurant for real. A lot of. I would do want to have a restaurant. Real creativity. Well, that's, well, thank you, brother. You know, I like to think outside of the box. Yeah. Actually, I fucking ripped the box up. I made origami out of the box,

Starting point is 01:04:03 bro. I'm getting real fucking creative with that shit, bro. Ain't no box around me no more. You know what I'm saying? I want a restaurant. Actually, that's why I got into cattle. I got 22 cows right now, which really ain't much. You know, ain't made no money off of them, but we did get this year to where the newborns did cover the cost of the hay. Oh, wow. So we didn't actually have any expenses this year. So that's fucking good. That's even, man. That's even. And so y'all are selling. Are you able to sell hay off your land or no? No, eat it all. So we had to buy some, but then we just sold cows to cover. Yeah. So and how many and how many cows does the cows have every year? I think it's kind of like a similar to a human, like the

Starting point is 01:04:45 length of time it takes, you know, so. Would you come out there some mornings and they got one? Well, they're actually a little bit north of me. I've only got two at my place. We're about to move four more. So I'll have six at my place. But the two that I've got are mom and daughter, but they were already, they were already born when I got them. So I've never seen, I've never had to pull one out or nothing like that. No, not opposed to it, but I do, I got to do, you know, should I probably done nastier stuff than that? Hey, it's thug nasty, right? It ain't thug not nasty. That's right. Yeah, I wonder what would be a cool. So a restaurant, huh? Yes. Now, would you be chefing? And then you'd have to run the

Starting point is 01:05:25 restaurant at that point. You do have some people that know what you know what you want. I'm going to be the chef. I'm going to be the cashier. I'm going to be the security. I'm going to be the janitor. I'm going to be, I'm going to be the plumber. I'm going to be the construction work. I'm going to be everything in this fucking restaurant, bro. I want to do this shit. What kind of food would it be? Just home cooking? Well, I would try to utilize as much of my beef as I could, you know, because that's one thing I could bring to the table is some beef. And then actually when I get more into farming, there's a possibility of getting, you know, some of my own pork, some of my own nests and that growing my own nests and that, you know what I'm saying? So, and it's going to be a long time

Starting point is 01:06:02 before I ever do. I'll be completely done. I'll be complete. I'm not trying to juggle a fight in a restaurant, but it is one of them things like that's on my bucket list. I want to, I want to sell some, some food and I got some secret recipes, bro. Dang, boy. Straight up. You got them. You got, dude, I'm sure you got a couple of some twisters hidden in your food books, man. That's right. What would, yeah, I'm trying to think thugs, nice thugs. And would it be nice? Would it be more like kind of, what are you thinking, upscale? What kind of place would it be? I want it to be inclusive of all people. You call? That's right. Might even do one like a straight up restaurant, like some good, just good fucking food. Just I'm talking like, fill you up type of stuff.

Starting point is 01:06:44 And then across town have a little coffee shop with some of these desserts. I'm telling you right now, pastries. Yes, brother. My aunt, she, she learned how to make chocopies from my great grandma and pass it on to my Mimi. And then now my aunt's making them. All I got to do is haul her at my aunt and then she'll show me how to do it. Damn. Look, or you got to get your aunt to do it, bro. You can't be, you're going to run out of time, man. That's right. Hey, if I get some money, I guarantee you she would. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? I mean, you ever seen the show, Cake Boss? Oh, yeah, I've seen that show. Bro, I want a family setting like that. You know, like that was my favorite thing about the show is like, all these people love each other working together. And

Starting point is 01:07:24 it's like they're succeeding in life as a unit. You know what I mean? Like, I want that. Yeah. I think you could have that, man, because you don't have any children or nothing yet, huh? No, I'm going to make some. Yeah, you will, man. Look, I won't put it past you, dude. The hell, this jerky's good. I wouldn't put it past you, baby. This turtle cell jerky is fucking good. That's right. And bro, if your jerky came in a turtle cell every time, that'd be you already know. I knew he's going to get creative with that thing. God, that thing is fire, son. It tastes better out the shell. That's right. I've been saying it for years. Dude, I remember one time on the way to school, our school bus hit a big turtle that was crossing

Starting point is 01:07:59 the street and the bus driver, Ms. Hazel, put that bitch inside the thing and took it home and cooked it. That's right. That's right. And it was the biggest turtle our town had ever seen, dude. Feed the whole bus. Oh, people were sending pictures around of it, drawings of, people were like, look at how big it is. It's just a damn sketched out little snapper. That's right. Let's hit another question that we had that come in for Mr. Mitchell, please, Raleigh. Hey, what up, Theo, my Creole cousin. What up, Bryce, my backwood brother. Hey, brother. This is Brady from Minnesota, just checking in. What's up, buddy? I'm just wondering, is there any truth to the report that you're going to be fighting Edson Barbosa come 2022?

Starting point is 01:08:38 I hope it's true. Cook them to the bone. Also, would you consider anybody from the UFC hopping on a track with you someday? I thought that mixtape was fireman. Grandmother's grave. That's probably my favorite track. Thank you. I lost mine earlier this year. You shout to both of you. Gang gang. Gang gang, man. Yeah, that's the second part of the question. What do you think about that? If there's somebody you could do a track with, who would it be? Shoot. Who would be good? Talking to UFC. Shoot. Roy Nelson. Oh, yeah. Right around Roy Nelson. My hard hitter. Yeah, bro. That song be called Biscuits and Gravy. Oh, yeah, dude. Who's Biscuits? You may be Biscuits. Yeah, yeah. I don't want to be the Biscuits, bro.

Starting point is 01:09:27 Oh, bro, he's Gravy, dog, for sure. For sure. Oh, bro, that would be so sick, man. Yeah. There's gonna be a double there right there. Or you and Derek Lewis. That's right. That would be fire. That's right. And that could be Biscuits and Gravy, too, man. Hell, yeah, brother. Oh, Biscuits and syrup, maybe. Biscuits and Gravy. Yeah, Roy Nelson. He said he hadn't fought in years, huh? He retired. I think he went to Bellator. He might have retired, yeah. What do you see happening next in the in the lightweight division kind of? My wrist 55. Uh, probably, uh, I think Gachi could beat, uh, Oliveira. Yeah. Yeah. Well, now, but with Gachi, Gachi is a pun. I mean, he's, uh, he's, uh, him and Dustin, that's

Starting point is 01:10:11 why they're fighting. They, he loves to punch. He rated a pun. He was rated a pun. He literally would have knocked me out. Just like, it's almost like something he'll do for you if that's nice. Like, oh, I'll knock you out. You know, like, it's just like, it's just, it's like a way to show express anything, you know, kind of. I think that, uh, it would be really hard for Oliveira to get Gachi down to the ground. And, uh. Oh, you think it would be hard. But do you, why would, why would it be any harder to get him down than Dustin down? You feel like that wrestling. Yeah. That wrestling and Dustin's done, uh, so much grappling in his life that he's been on the ground. Like he's not going to have that response that Gachi is going to have. Like there's a,

Starting point is 01:10:49 there's a certain point in which you're, somebody's in on a takedown and you have to expend and you know, okay, they might get this takedown and they might not. But if I, if I don't want them to, I'm going to have to expend a lot of energy. You know what I'm saying? And I feel like Gachi, he's the type of person like, I'll give everything I've fucking got to stop this takedown. I won't let you, whereas Dustin, uh. You might let him have it to the manager. To go for a G-team. I've seen Dustin go for G-teams. I don't think you'll see ever Dustin Gachi go for a G-team, but Dustin Poya is more comfortable. Like if it, fight goes to the ground, he's not in trouble. You know what I'm saying? Like DP can fight good on the ground. But would it be easy for Barbo, would it be easy for

Starting point is 01:11:24 Oliveira to get Gachi on the ground? You're saying that that would be the hardest step to get him to the ground? It would be a stand-up fight. It wouldn't, it wouldn't go to the ground. I don't think. Um, and then wonder what happens with Chandler in that division? Because you got that Kizmat, Mike, I'm not sure. Cosmat Shama. Yeah. No, he's a, he's a 85er. Wow, and you can say you're a damn. I feel like a damn. Yeah. Oh, he's 85? He's a 85er, I believe. Or no, I'm sorry, he's 170. No, is he? Yeah, he's 70. Bring up the lightweight UFC lightweight top 20 rankings if you can. But he actually had a grappling match with the 185 pound guy and beat him at grappling. You know, so he could actually get in there and hang with us. That's the Islam guy, right? Oh, that's what I'm

Starting point is 01:12:10 thinking of. Islam, okay, Islam. Uh, he's 155, isn't he? Yeah, I think he could beat Oliveira. He's coming up there. That, that dude's coming up. I mean, he's won. Yeah. I think he's undefeated and amazing. I think I've seen a video of him getting knocked out. Yeah, maybe he has a one loss. Now, the video also could have been some dude like photoshopping it or whatever, you know, like chopping it up. But I did see a video of him getting knocked out. Like I said, could have been a fake video though. I didn't keep up enough. Scroll down some. Let's scroll down some. There he is, right there, number four in this rankings. Does he have any losses next to his name? He's 21 and one. Okay, that was the one that I saw. That might be overall, so 10 and one, it looks like in the,

Starting point is 01:12:48 in the UFC. And then I saw that one where he lost, but uh, bro, so I mean, who's he fighting that? So you got, so Dustin would probably have to maybe fight that guy would because and that guy is a pure, right? He's like a Khabib style. Absolutely. Absolutely. And throws, throws more kicks and punches than Khabib does. I see, uh, man, so that's crazy. I see him beating Oliveira. Yeah, I could see that Khabib because he just, that guy seems like on site, just like nobody's doing the kind of exactly just what he's doing. Exactly. There's like you, you, he's got so many spots where if he gets that fight to like those other guys don't fight in those positions, right? You know what I'm saying? And it's like, uh, where, where does you look at like, uh, a gachi and a,

Starting point is 01:13:38 poye like they're both elite level fighters, but they're elite in kind of the same discipline, like they're both good boxers. Overall the same discipline. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, they're, they're kind of the same, not, not really, you know, um, DP, he switched the stances and flows. I think a little, uh, on a, on a different level. He's a little more fluid than gachi. He is. He is, but just the way that they box and power punch and kick the shit out of you, it's real similar. There's nobody in that division similar to MakaChef, you know, right? That's what's interesting. That's what's scary about him. It's like, it's like when somebody brings something to something that shouldn't be there, you know, damn, he's the only one that's got this thing. Exactly. You know,

Starting point is 01:14:23 like people's eating dessert and somebody brings in a damn, uh, chocolate pecan pie. Yeah. Yeah. Like if everybody's having ice cream and one dude rolls up with a chocolate pecan pie, everybody's going to be fighting over that shit. We're going to be at least looking over at him and be like, damn, he got that. That's right. He got that. Um, what do you think could happen with Cody Garbrant? That's that shit broke my heart, man. Dude, dude, me too, man, because I really like that guy. And, uh, I mean, if I was him, I would retire. I'm not, I'm not kidding. Yeah. I'm not kidding, man. I mean, if I was him, he's obviously probably not going to. He's, I don't think he gives a shit. I think he's going to go beat somebody else's ass now. But let me tell you what,

Starting point is 01:15:06 he's done it all. And here's what makes me the most fucking mad about that Cody Garbrant situation. And, and like I said, in the end, it will, God knows he's a fighter. That's all that matters is that like his spirit is strong and he's a fighter to the death. He'll fight anybody. He was cheated out of his fucking championship belt. They did. They went back and done blood test on, on Dilla Shaw when they fight. He fought him on PEDs. That's what I'm saying. Fuck that motherfucker, man. So they should have given it to him. Fuck. Yeah, dude. I mean, it ain't never going to happen yet. And my book, he is the fucking champ. He beat T.J. Dilla Shaw off of fucking morals by not being a little bitch and cheating before the fight. You know what I'm saying? He's already

Starting point is 01:15:50 the champ in me. And you got T.J. over here and, and Garbrant over there and fucking, fucking street fights breaking out. I'm going on Garbrant side every fucking time. That's a real fucking man. I'll die with that fucking man before I take the little bitches side. You know what I'm saying? I ain't about that. Yeah. I ain't about it, man. Yeah. And there's not a lot of, they don't go back in time and kind of correct what happened. They'll never go back in time. You know what I'm saying? He won't get his reward till he gets to heaven. You know what I'm saying? And God will say, Hey, man, I know you are the champion. You are. You are. And strap you up, baby. And I'm telling you right now that will hang over Dilla Shaw's head the rest of his fucking life. Yeah,

Starting point is 01:16:27 he knocked him out twice. He ended his career of what it was. Right. Of what it was. Now, I'm not saying he's done. He's still going to make 10 times more money than me in my next fight. Right. Garbrant is, Garbrant makes that good money. He ain't done. But what I'm saying is, he was at the pinnacle and got removed by a little cheap shot and bitch. Right. You know what I'm saying? A dude that he would knock out in practice. So this dude gets knocked out in practice and says, Well, I'll just go put a needle in my ass. You know what I'm saying? That burns you up, huh? It burns me up, bro. Fuck that motherfucker. Yeah. You know, that's that's and I'm not going to hold back and and I'd say it to his face if he was right here. Yeah. You know. Yeah. What do you think

Starting point is 01:17:06 leads someone to do something like that? He's scared because he got knocked out in practice. And he said, You know what? And he justifies it by saying in his head, he's going to say, Well, you know, I need this win. It's for me and my family and all that. But man, it's like it's it's you're fighting. You're signing a contract. Like here's what I'm saying. If you're going to be a gangster and going to be doing shit by the rules, go be a real gangster. TJ Dillshaw. Go fucking. If you're going to not play by the rules, go with those. Go gang bang. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? You see how long your little bitch ass last out there. You know what I'm saying? Go out there. You want to do no rules. Your ass will get cheap shot. You know what I'm

Starting point is 01:17:41 saying? This is a it should be a fair as possible sport and everybody should have an equal opportunity playing field. And he took away one man's championship aspirations. He took it from his family. And do you think he should have been allowed back in? Yeah, I think that if if you could let him back in like, I think he was clean as last fight. Right. It didn't look as good as last fight. Did you notice that? Yeah. Well, I thought because I was that was a Sanhagen fight. That's right. I thought Sanhagen could have. I thought that I thought that Sanhagen won that fight. But yeah, I mean, it was definitely not exactly the same. I thought Sanhagen won, too. Yeah, you know, he did. He definitely did

Starting point is 01:18:17 more damage. But if you go by the scoring system, it was a close fight. But damage wise, you know who fucking did more damage. Yeah. TJ knows who did more damage. Yeah. Probably hurt the chew food a couple of weeks. You know what I'm saying? He knows he lost. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Would you could you ever could you see yourself in a different division? That division is pretty exciting. I was 55. No, I'm too small, brother. But no, with Dillison, they're not 55. Are they 35? Yeah. I probably died trying to make that way. You know, I was standing back the other night. I got back to that. I got to stand by Al Jermaine Sturdle and he's, you know, in my buddy. Yeah. He's cool. Interesting guy. Funny, dude. He's like one of the first fighters I ever met at the comedy

Starting point is 01:18:55 store a long time ago. Nice. Such an easy guy to actually live with him for a month. Really? It was me. We were all staying at Ally Quinn's house. Wow. That's crazy. It was me, Al, Pat DeFranco, Al Joe and Pumi. And all these guys are fighters, right? So we got six fighters. I'm sleeping on the couch, right? Well, this is one of the funniest things that happens. There's this Pumi stays in the basement and Pumi's kind of like me. Al kind of goes to bed a little bit earlier. Pat kind of and Al Joe kind of go to bed a little bit earlier. I'm up one night. You know, I'm sleeping on the couch kitchens right there, right? So I go out there. I start making a little bit of stuff in the kitchen. Yeah, of course, baby. Cook it up. And Al has this problem with

Starting point is 01:19:36 Coons getting into his trash, like these big old fucking city Coons. Oh, yeah, I've seen them. Big ones, right? And I told Al, you know, like one morning we came out and there's trash all over the ground. Oh, they'll roll six deep too, man. They'll come in. Yeah. That's right. And so I told Al, I said, brother, I ain't I'll get these Coons for you. I said, I'll be on full patrol. You know what I'm saying? We going to bed, right? I'm fucking getting them, bro. And so I go out there. I'm cooking a little bit and two big ones out there on the trash can. And they're about to get into it. You know what I'm saying? I didn't have no backup. It's two on one. I got a spatula, bro. And I was thinking, man, this is going to be a fucking good fight. These are some big ass Coons.

Starting point is 01:20:17 I'm like, Pumi, Pumi, Pumi's down there in the basement. And he's like, huh, what's going on, brother? And tell you, he's kind of like tired. I'm like, bro, I need some help up here. Bad, brother. There's two of them. I'm going to fuck them up right now. I need backup. Pumi don't even know what the fuck's going on. Pumi runs out and, bro, so I go out the door and I fucking smack one of these Coons in the spatula. Really? Straight up? Straight up, bitch. And he didn't back down? Bro, he looked like he didn't even give a shit. He turned around and looked at me like we was about to have a long conversation. And what weight class was he in? Bro, he was one of them little fucking ninja Coons. He was like, I don't even know what weight class he was. He was probably 105?

Starting point is 01:20:54 Bro, they were jumping from the trash can to the fence. Oh, yeah. And then he's jumping. That's my weight. We had to stare down and I was like kind of reared back and then Pumi comes up. Pumi's got a butcher knife. Yeah. Thank God. Because then that's when both of them Coons is like, okay, now it's a fair fight and they took off. But Pumi saved my ass on that one. Damn. Yeah. So shout out to Pumi right there. We had a spatula and a butcher knife growing deep on them Coons, brother. Yeah, bro. Mother nature got them hit men, though. That's right. That's what I'm saying, bro. Mother nature got them hit men. The craziest raccoon. Yeah. Some of you go out about a trash and they have the couple that are in the trash,

Starting point is 01:21:30 the weird one that always gets me is the one that's in the recycling bin. Bro, these were the these are the videos like that. Like, who the fuck is that one? Because that's the one that's looking for knowledge. He's in there reading papers, looking through reports and shit. Hey, these ones were the real fucking, they were like the scouts, you know what I'm saying? Like, probably like the army ranger ones, like scouting out for surveillance and shit. I smacked his Coons as hard as I could, dude. Damn. He didn't do nothing. They probably went reported back to somebody, I'm sure. Oh, they sure did, brother. Damn orchestrated attack. You know what I'm saying? Oh, that's unbelievable. That's mother

Starting point is 01:22:03 nature, baby. That's a dark arts dog. Because they'll get once they get going, you don't know what's coming next. No, brother. They come in from any window chimney. They come up underneath in the plumbing, brother. Actually, them Coons, that's where they actually believe it or not. That's their headquarters. Really? Where I've been keeping eyes on under house in Cersei. Oh, damn. Yeah, they live underground. You guys have a lot of, y'all got a raccoon problem over there? Militaristic, brother. Their mindsets just straight militaristic, bro. They got the headquarters underground. They're up there boosting their population, getting their numbers up. That's right. It's worse. Yeah. I see Wojima day. They ain't got,

Starting point is 01:22:40 pungy traps ain't shit on them raccoon traps, bro. That's like the Gucci tunnels, baby. So, check this out, man. They did this thing at Harding because the Coons are so bad, they fucking, they go up and they grab the trash and then they scurry back to the little sewers. Oh, really? They did this thing at Harding. They steamed. What is Harding? College. It's a college that I went to, yeah. And that's where I've seen them for years building up their numbers, bro. And they're just getting bigger and faster and smarter and they're not even afraid of motherfuckers now, bro. The fur Chinese, they call them. Yeah, like I was going to throw something away one time and them here had a conversation with one of them. He's like, man, I can't believe

Starting point is 01:23:14 you're going to eat that. You know what I'm saying? Like, they ain't even scared of people. I saw a moment of wallet on them there with a wallet chain. That's that pimp. That's that pimp cone, brother. Well, bro, they steam the whole thing like they steam them. It's mean, man, but they steam the underground and I think it's honestly too flush to Coons out. Wow. But they're living now. Ain't no joke, bro. They're living now. At the college, huh? At the college. And you see steam coming up out of things for like an hour straight. A gas. They're trying to smoke them out. Bro, that's against that's against the Geneva Convention. That's why they got that military mindset, though, man, because it's warfare treaty. I think I think that should be done.

Starting point is 01:23:54 That's what I said, man. I just turned. I act like I didn't even see it, bro, because that's just fucked up. Like it's one thing to smack him with the spatula, bro. You're gassing babies down there. You know what I'm saying? Like, I ain't about that. You should have to stop though. Damn, it's a fucking hard. That's right. Wow, man. What else are we talking about? We have another good any good other questions that came in? Yeah. Oh, we had one, too, that came in, too. And what were you and I talking about, though? We're talking about. And you said you guys all stayed together. Oh, Al Jermaine. Yeah. So we were living at um, ally Quentin's house and there were six six fighters in the house and there's just a hell of

Starting point is 01:24:39 a good time. So I so anyway, I was backstage and that's when the Cody fight was going on, right? And we're watching it. And he said that when you drop down a weight class, like there's less like your body so tight that when you get knocked out at a lower weight, it's real hard on your system because you just, you know, there's less like fat inside. There's less like cushion inside of your inside of your universe, you know, particularly from your brain. Yeah. Because think about this. Your body knows how important your brain is when you get to that final moment and the weight cut when you're like, OK, I can't cut no more. That's when your body begins to pull the moisture from the brain. It's the last thing that your body will protect that your body will

Starting point is 01:25:23 keep all that fluid in your brain until it don't have fluid from nowhere else. And then your head, your brain fluid, you know, guess which guess which fluid takes some of the longest to get back into your system brain that brain fluid. Now, here's how I knew that that Cody was really feeling. I didn't think he was going to lose. I didn't know that's not what I'm saying. But here's how I knew he was feeling. He ain't a fucking 25. He ain't a 25. I promise, bro. He might do good at 25. He's really a 35 or though, because he just he's healthier at 35. But here's how I knew you. Because I saw him do a video, Garbrant, and he was talking and I could tell his voice was not the same. It was when you begin cutting that much weight, I have sinus issues or you get just

Starting point is 01:26:11 extremely dehydrated in a when you get to that point of extreme dehydration, you'll notice a lot of fluid change up here. I actually cannot hear. I'm not kidding you. Wow. Like there'd be you ever get water stuck in your at the pool. Yeah, bro. I've been cutting weight before and it's like waters in both my ears. And I heard him do this interview. And okay, so this is my normal voice. I'm kind of talking. I kind of heard him like kind of like a like his is a different pitch and I could tell something was up in the open. So just so dried out, bro. I was like, always dry and I could see in his cheeks. I knew it brother. I knew that is a tough weight cut. And I think that his performance was probably hindered by the weight cut. And I think that he's a 35er. And but I'm

Starting point is 01:26:57 just telling you by the way he was talking, I could feel it. I could feel it in my nose and my ears. He was having sinus issues, bro, because when you start your fluid's drain and then your brain fluid's drained and then you got this pressure, you can't hear right. You can't smell. And how can you fight like that? You can't not the same. You know what I'm saying? He didn't. I didn't actually see the whole fight. I just saw highlights of it. But brother, he's fast. Yeah. And he didn't look as fast out there. Yeah. Yeah, I can't I can't even imagine the levels that your body has to go to to do all of that. I think that that that was just a big weight cut on him. That's what I think you saw that performance out of him for. And like I said,

Starting point is 01:27:35 I didn't even see the fight. I just saw highlights of it. And like you said, man, I just feel bad for the guy because that's one of those guys that I just really fucking like man. Yeah, he's fun to cheer for man. Yeah. And he's just his personality. He's fucking vibrant. And he's he's red. He's he's always ready. Yeah. You know, I think he's like I wish how I could be just like fucking, you know, less, you know, less. Yeah. He's got that. I think a lot of people see that in him. He does special guy to watch. All right. We got another question here and then we'll get you on your way, man. I know you got to get back. We got to grab some lunch. Oh, yeah. Let's do it. All right. Fucking start. I love that too. We'll get to me. Tell you some real shit when we get

Starting point is 01:28:15 off air, bro. Street fights and shit. Sorry. Now you good. Yeah. What up, Theo? What up, Thug Nasty? First, I just wanted to shout out your new mix tape you dropped on you. Thank you, brother. I just want to say it's great. I hope more and more people hear it. I honestly think it's better than 90% of God bless you, man. Thank you. I made it for people like you, man. Yeah, baby. I hope it's doing well. Quick question. I heard you on Ariel Hwani's podcast recently. You said you were driving about three hours or so to go get a truck. And I just wanted to know how that went. Did you buy it and how's that truck working out for you? Is it hauling them cows around as well as it needs to be? Either way, I'd love to hear from you.

Starting point is 01:28:59 Best of luck against Edson Barbosa. And that's a real dude, right? Yeah, that's a real guy. He's in. That guy's in. What'd you get? A Ford F350. Oh, he's in 91. Bro, it's like a fucking little red neck paradise, bro. It's like it has no key on it. It's like a push start. It's like he rigged up all the wires. He rigged up a push start in a brake lights. Yeah, it's a push start and you have to use a screwdriver to flip a switch. Well, on the way home, what I didn't know on the back of the push start is like he literally rigged it up like on the spot. Well, if you touch the positive and the negative, I let it hit the clutch and broke the spark and blew a fuse. I have to jump the solenoid. So on the way home, I fucking blew a fuse on the way home and then we had to jump it

Starting point is 01:29:47 on the solenoid just to get it started. So me and my buddy would jump the solenoid. Y'all think it was a lemon at that point or what? Oh, I knew it was good, bro. When I heard that engine, brother, that 91, 7.3, like I said. Oh, I think it'll make you hard. I don't make your cousin hard. My cousin's been dead for years, dude. You'll see the soil on his grave. That's right. You'll see the fluff a little. Bro, that 7.3 is an iconic engine. And let me just tell you right now. I don't care if you're four guys, Chevy guy, Dodge guy. I don't even care if you like fucking the Honda trucks. I don't care. You cannot talk shit about a Cummins diesel engine and you cannot talk shit about a 7.3 engine. I think international

Starting point is 01:30:30 harvester might actually make the engine. At one point, they did. I did some research on it. But the thing about what I've got on a 91 from, I think 91 to 94, they did the IDIs. And that's what I got. Okay. Here's why I like it. This is why this truck was made for me, brother. Well, first off, it was 3,800 bucks. It's in my fucking price range. That's what I'm saying. Price Mitchell, they call him. Hey, the price is right. Price Mitchell, bro. That would be a good store. The price is right. Price Mitchell. You'd be so much better than Bob Barker on that show, man. If there's ever a price is right, you're the motherfucking host. I'd be giving away damn owl meat on that bitch, dude. The show wouldn't even last episode. You'd be giving away everything.

Starting point is 01:31:13 I'd give half them bitches away on there, too, dude. That's right. I'd say we gotta get rid of some of these bitches up here, man. So that the IDI engine, it's different in these modern power strokes. The power stroke is they're both great engines, forward engines, but this IDI is mechanical in nature, so it doesn't have as much computer parts. And so that's what I love about it. I fucking cannot stand all this cheap electronic shit. And let me tell you, it ruins everything, and it is to the level where it is a conspiracy. If you don't think that they're making these cars to break at a certain point or making it more expensive for certain parts, you're fucking blind, bro, because that's what the industry, the cars from the 90s with the manual transmissions and

Starting point is 01:31:56 the simple engines last longer and are easier to fix than these newer ones. They're doing that because they want you in the dealership. Yeah. And they don't like, I got the best mechanic in the fucking world that lives like right down the road from me. His name is Paul Underwood. And let me tell you what, I guarantee you Mr. Paul could fix anything on that 7.3 IDI. Right. You know, and he could probably fix a power stroke too, but there's going to be some computer. Yeah, something that you can't, that's out of your control. But it's just like, okay, you're going to have to order this cheap ass part from some. Just to get the shit to work. Yeah. And by now they know how long you're going to use a car. It's just so many things. Bro, it's a conspiracy, bro. It's called, if you

Starting point is 01:32:38 want to look into it, it's called planned obsolescence. It's been going on really since the beginning of time. It's not a conspiracy, bro. But like when it first started getting popular, there was one instance of it in Germany. There was a people who made t-shirts. I believe maybe t-shirts or jeans, but they started using nylon. Well, bro, nobody, they didn't have any return customers because the fucking t-shirts and jeans was lasting forever. Just like they sell a pair of jeans and you never see that motherfucker again. So they had to start making shitty jeans. But, bro, that's in every single industry that there is. And it's two certain degrees. But in the car industry, you see so much planned obsolescence. These pieces of shit, especially nissans with

Starting point is 01:33:18 the CVT transmissions, you know, because I have one going on. Nissan, damn. I wouldn't even come in one of them. But here's it exactly. Well, I beg to differ on that one. That's the one complain I don't get, bro. But let me tell you what them headlights, for example, you get you one of these Nissan 2006 Maximus. This is a planned obsolescence that I'm talking about the certain degrees. Okay, you fix your, you break your headlight. Guess how much that fucking new one cost? Probably 250. 150, yeah. Damn. Bro, it's a fucking headlight. They can make that for $3. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So they got you and they do that with their transmissions, they do with their engine, not this Ford engine, not this 7.3 IDI. It's a real engine made for real

Starting point is 01:34:04 farmers who really work for their real money and don't want to spend it on no fake shit. You know, and that truck is is me personified. And the only thing I got to do is got to add a little one of those gooseneck balls on the back of it, you know, that mounts right there in a truck bed. Oh, for pulling that heavy weight from cattle. Oh, really? And hey, yeah. So what you'll, it's for the transmission now? Well, it's, it's so you can actually pull that weight. If you, you know, the, the balls that hang off the back like a regular like on the, you'll see it there in that truck, you see, I got a little two inch ball, I got three way right on the back of it, not the kind you like, but yeah, the kind with, you know, the kind with three different hitches on

Starting point is 01:34:48 it. Well, that sticks off the back of the truck. Okay. Okay. When you mount one of these gooseneck or fifth wheel hitches, you got it from the inside from the truck bed. And so that distributes to where all that weight ain't on the it puts more of it up front. So your truck and more of the weight goes to the trailer. And so now you can pull 32,000 pounds, bro, like I'm going to be pulling some shit, you know, oh, yeah. So I got to get that. I got to fix my brake lights. I got to rig it up to where I'm not jumping the solenoid every time I started. It's got a little bit of ash on the seats. I can tell this dude and he had a swisher when I pull out the little cup holder thing. He had a swisher in it. I'm like, bro, I ain't even tripping. I just wish I was here for

Starting point is 01:35:28 that one. You know what I'm saying? But bro, it's so cool. Like it's an old school manual. And by the way, you don't ever see these manuals. That's how you know they're, they're trying to make these vehicles to break. Now you can't even hardly find a fucking truck with a man. I would never, I would never buy another vehicle. It's not a manual. Unless something crazy happens and I get some good deal or something, you know, but, you know, this thing is like, you put it in the first row and like you don't even have, just let off the clutch, man. Like it's going to go. It's not going to die. You know, it's got so much power. Like I'm not even touching the gas. You just put it in first,

Starting point is 01:35:58 know, and it just creeps. Yeah. It is nice when you get into something that feels like it has a life of its own. Bro, it does, man. It's got two gas tanks on it. You switch it, but one of them don't read. So you just kind of like have to, you are the gas gauge. Bro, that's fire, dude. That's old school. Not even knowing how much gas is in that bitch. I just, I just know it was meant for me, bro. It's like, it's perfect. Dude, that's awesome, man. Damn, yeah, you can pull a lot of weight with that, man. That's right. 32,000 pounds is what it's rated for. Of course, I don't even have a gooseneck trailer. Actually, that's the next thing that I got to get as a gooseneck trailer to pulling that shit because I've got light duty trailers right now. I could pull about

Starting point is 01:36:43 most I put on and about 6,000 pounds on one of them. And I tell you what, I put 6,000 pounds on a trailer the other day. I bought for that block wall that I'm building in the garage. Bro, you ever heard that song? Jesus, take the wheel. Yeah, I could have shot the music video about three days ago. Bro, I was driving home from Lowe's that has 6,000 pounds of blocks on the back. And I was going 40 and I just got comfortable. I might have even been freestyle. I was freestyling, bro. I'm in here. I'm rapping in the truck, bro. I got 6,000 pounds in the back. And bro, and I'm going 40 on a straightaway and I start curving them. It's not a sharp curve, but that curve was enough to start a fishtail, bro. And, bro, Jesus, take the wheel. There's

Starting point is 01:37:23 nobody coming or nothing, bro. But hey, I think a good thing for me to maybe the reason that this popped in my head, maybe God's trying to save somebody's life. Let me tell you right now, do not touch the brakes if you're getting in that fishtail. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. That's when you really lose it. So I just, I didn't do anything. I kind of straightened it out, but not overcorrected it. But bro, I was, I was scared. And was it icy or anything or no? It was just all that weight. Yep. Yep. How far is that home depot from you? About 20 minutes. On that one, probably about 30. I'm driving real slow. Yeah. Yeah, it's funny how you get a little bit comfortable dog and next thing you know, it doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter. You got all that weight in

Starting point is 01:38:04 there. That's wild, bro. I was hitting a good freestyle, too. I was on it. Damn, bro. That's living life, son. I love that. That's right. Bryce Mitchell, you got, so yeah, but in the spring, you'll be getting back in the ring, man. That's right. You know? Hopefully. Yeah. But you feel 100%. I do, brother. Yeah. I do. I got some built up energy, man. You're able to train up, give me, you're able to just go train when you want. Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely. Yeah. Damn. I don't know if I have anything else. Any other good questions that came in, Riley? Did you see anything? Oh, let's take them through those three deers real quick and then we'll go get something to eat. We got three animals right here, man. We just wanted to let you know what, how would you,

Starting point is 01:38:42 how would you handle these three situations? Here's the first one right here is Bryce famous, put a deer in a twister. Here's a fellow right here. Has he been shot? No. I would, this guy's just trying to, I guess, touch hands first. Oh, shit. Damn. Damn, dude. So I guess he maybe got a little close to pet him or something. How, if you're, if you're, yeah, how do you handle that situation? Whose side are you on there, you think? First off, he fucked up. He's right in front of it. You want to walk up behind it. That's where he fucked up. Come up behind it. I take a knee on belly. Yeah. You know, don't give up position. That's all I got to say, bro. Like, like straight up,

Starting point is 01:39:33 like stay on top when you're talking with them deer, bro, because they got that, they got that good top game. Their bottom game is weak. Right. You know what I'm saying? It becomes a positional battle. And like I said, he should have approached from the back. That's where he fucked up. But their bottom game, if you're on bottom deer, you got those antlers. That's insane to deal with. Oh, that was a buck. Yeah. That's, that's a different story right there. But here's what I'd have done out of, out of a, you know, locked out my arms. Now I got a little knee on the ribs, arms locked out. Now he's awake. Yeah. And then I'm just going to brainstorm for a minute. I'll be honest with you. I ain't been there. I ain't been in that one yet. I'm going to lock

Starting point is 01:40:10 them out and I'm going to brainstorm for a minute. That fucking, let me tell you what, that rear neck is going to be hard with them antlers in a way. Yeah. You might have to pull triangle. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Like it's going to get desperate. Yeah. Actually, try and at least you have more control. You'll probably be able to keep him upright enough to keep that, keep the antlers away from you. If you want to be real fucked up and you can talk about some animal cruelty, go for an armbar. Bro, then you won because even if you know, he ain't going nowhere, bro. Like if them antlers are in the way, bro, go pull an armbar. And like I said, I'm all about position, staying on top. But if you can't sink in that choke and that deer's

Starting point is 01:40:50 getting up and you see a arm, go for that armbar, brother. Yeah. And he got four arms. That's what I'm saying, bro. Like he ain't going to, you know, he ain't got no defense. You know, the best defense is hold your hands together. Yeah. What's he going to do? Yeah. Damn. That's a risky move. Here's a second one. We got three of them for you. Here's the second one. Now this lady got. That's a good position. Keep the volume off. So that lady got, she got, that lady got, took, took that. It's a, it looks like a doe or just a female. Oh yeah. She just, she took his back and got him down. See, what you see here is perfect. We got situational awareness. I promise you, this ain't her first go around. Yeah. You see that

Starting point is 01:41:34 them hips on that? She's putting them hips on that deer's hips. She is keeping that low center base knee spread out. Bro, I can tell you right now, this ain't her first, first rodeo. Yeah. This ain't the first deer at the Walmart for this lady. No, bro. And she's holding that arm. She's got that arm lock too. If you see up by that, she's got, she's keeping that arm, that deer from getting any I'm not even going to comment on this because she's doing far better than I would have. You know what I'm saying? Like she, that's a clean up on aisle three. She's going to take it out and it's, it's done with. I think, yeah, she's already cleaned up. Let's get that third one. The last one we got here. She's perfect technique. And this one, we can have some audio on. Oh no. Yeah, this was fine.

Starting point is 01:42:18 And how do you handle this situation? Oh, yeah. Well, right there. I don't see anybody trying to cut off the room. You know what I'm saying? I see that guy. First off, he gets up out of the chair and he's not in a stance. That's where he fucked up first. Yeah, that's the first thing I do because you know, there ain't no bed door ain't, he ain't going to go out the back door. You know what I'm saying? So first thing I'm doing, see, he's right out the front door. Like I said, because look, he ain't even got a stance. Oh, yeah, you really do. That's who you wish was getting her haircut.

Starting point is 01:43:21 But people completely unexpected this shit, though. Like, they got to be ready. You got to be ready at all times. But that's true, man. I think you have to take a little bit of position there for sure. I think that guy didn't want the smoke. He kind of wandered over there. He ain't ever had some good deer jerky. Yeah, he never had some.

Starting point is 01:43:39 He had some good deer jerky, but like, all right. I'm gonna cook you up, buddy. We're not letting this thing leave. That might be good, man. That might be enough. Bryce Mitchell, thank you so much for coming in, man. Absolutely. Thank you for having me, brother. It's a pleasure to be here. Thank you for these gifts, too.

Starting point is 01:43:55 Dude, this jerky is fire. Thank you, bro. I'm so glad you liked that. I hope you ain't just faking it. I'm not at all. Dude, I've had about 12 pieces of it. I know you ain't, because you've been eating it the whole time. Like, you already sold me if you was faking it. Like, he's just going too far with it. Shit, I might smoke a little bit of it, man.

Starting point is 01:44:11 Yeah, I had dinner with this guy, Jordan Peterson. I love that guy, bro. He only eats steak, bro. He is amazing. He was in here in town. Him and his daughter live here now, so... Bro, we went to dinner. Actually, I watched those podcasts. Oh, yeah?

Starting point is 01:44:27 I'll show you the picture of the... after dinner, dude. I'll show you the damn picture from dinner, dude. This shit was ridiculous. Man, he's just such an inspiration, ain't he? Yeah, he's a smart dude. He's smart, and he's just like... and he says the biggest thing

Starting point is 01:44:43 is what gets your attention. What do you give your attention to, you know? And that's kind of fascinating, because it's like, yeah, I noticed, especially in this technology world, like, so many things get your attention, and they're... they're calculated. Like, you're saying, like, with the... how they got the car parts ready to wear out,

Starting point is 01:44:59 that shit's all calculated. It's like, they fucking... they're using data... to know exactly when you're going to walk back in the shop. So it's just, we're up against the dark arts, man. But this was a damn, uh... I ain't much left, brother. Bro, no, but the best part was... That was dinner, it says everybody ate

Starting point is 01:45:17 freaking steaks and lamb. I mean, and they were chewing... Lamb sounds so good. Bro, they were chewing on the bones over there. Oh, absolutely. Dude, I'll take the bones home, give them to the dogs. Yeah. Shit, I'd be a dog, man. I just don't think you bring up some good stuff, man.

Starting point is 01:45:33 Hey, next time I'm gonna bring you some more, brother. Since I know you like it, I'll bring you two bags. And a couple grams. Y'all could've sold this in high school, baby. Damn. Bryce Mitchell, thanks so much for coming in today, man. Thank you so much for having me, always an honor, brother. Well, we appreciate you being here, man.

Starting point is 01:45:49 Happy holidays to you. Amen, brother, thank you. Gang, baby, yeah. I'm just folding on the breeze, and I feel I'm falling like these leaves. I must be cornerstone. Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind. I found I can feel it in my bones. But it's gonna take a little time for me to set that parking brake and let myself online.

Starting point is 01:46:27 Shine that light on me. I'll sit and tell you my story. Shine on me, and I will find a song. I will sing it just for you. And I've been moving way too fast on the runaway train with a heavy load of my past. And these wheels that I've been riding on, they want so thin that they're damn, they're gone.
