3:36
started it's still plenty of time you just got in all right you just
3:43

4:09
girl you're the worst at making people do [ __ ] when they're hung over like you
4:15
are always like okay time to wake up early and be punctual for everything I'm like [ __ ] you just like ruined my life
4:23
last night you're the one you we still have responsibility yeah but we still
4:28
have responsibility and I have to lead by example so I truck on I don't like
4:36
adting I I hear you yeah I totally get it I feel like you've
4:42
totally earned a binge session because you just fought you had an awesome fight
4:49
and it's right before the holidays so now it's like your time to just chill
4:54
like how many times have you had a fight booked right after the holidays and you're just just miserable the whole
5:00
time yeah yeah exactly you can't you can't enjoy them so this this fight definitely lined up well to be able to
5:07
enjoy my holidays but sometimes I do need restrictions because I have zero
5:15
self-control I made restri I feel like after a drink or two it just it goes
5:20
down it goes down it goes down just completely diminish by the time I'm like a bottle of wine deep everything sounds
5:25
like a great idea yeah let's go oh
5:31
all right well um how have things been uh since the fight um yeah good we've I've just moved
5:38
into a new property um out here and we've got like a bunch of acreage in so we've just been I've been a farm girl
5:45
what yeah see theine this is like just being out on on in the property um trying to
5:53
[ __ ] whip a snipper and and mow The Lawns and getting sunburnt so that's
5:58
amazing yeah but um so what's a whiper snipper oh translation
6:06
weer okay okay I felt like never used one I've
6:11
never used one before and I was just going like if the neighbors could see me they'd be like who is this [ __ ] crazy
6:18
person that just moved in because I was attacking these bushes with a with the
6:23
weed whacker not how you're supposed to do it I was just it was like a [ __ ]
6:28
Samurai s I was you're like Jason in the
6:33
background yeah pretty much I'm pretty sure my nameb think CIS I feel like that
6:39
would actually be a really fun game to play right now uh Beck says an Australian term and we have to guess
6:44
what it is oh I think that would be so fun because they don't make sense yeah
6:53
they do they definitely make sense you know what a Servo is yes a gas station oh I didn't know that okay one
7:01
point for Jess um I went to the Bott
7:07
yesterday she knows what that is the bottle what like a liquor store
7:14
yes that's just because it's like Servo I'm like they must it must be a store
7:20
for bottles and I need to eat macas because I'm really hung
7:25
over McDonald's McDonald oh wow okay did not
7:32
I was going to say mac and cheese enough yeah so what made you
7:40
become a farm girl um I really love farm animals so
7:46
my my my goal is to just collect all the animals um and be the crazy Farm lady
7:52
with all the farm animals she's my
7:57
dream no no eating them cuddling them a just cuddling but
8:06
um yeah I'm slowly going to just collect them all and Adrian will have no idea all of a sudden you'll wake up and
8:12
there'll be three donkeys and nice you're kind of like a Pokemon
8:19
trainer more than anything just them all they can fight other farm animals
8:27
from other Farms yeah that is now um whenever I'm uh
8:32
interviewing perspective uh perspective people that I'm going to date that's one of like the criteria in the questions
8:39
it's like how opposed are you to me bringing home animals because I need somebody who will
8:44
let me interview them at this point yes there's a lot of
8:50
questioning no there's a lot of questioning at this point I'm I'm sick of this I'm sick of it do
8:58
you oh yeah just just takes out the recorder like I hope you don't mind we're
9:04
recording this conversation I just need refer back to my
9:14
not I just I can't anymore I can't I I need to know all these things up front
9:20
otherwise oh Jess uh this is a good time for you to open up your present that I
9:25
got you I want back to witness it is it a shady do oh
9:32
God look at how masterfully it's wrapped I bet Adam did this I did it I
9:38
diding yeah he helped he helped with a
9:51
present oh my God I'm reading it I'm reading it and
9:57
we'll do book club next episode of two straws we're doing book
10:03
club gone up gone since Sean exposed that I re
10:09
they must have oh my God but that is first edition because it only exists on
10:18
audiobook well you know what I I am an avid audible listener because I have the
10:23
attention SP of a natat so I don't I've always had really bad um terribly bad reading comprehension to the point where
10:29
they thought I had a learning disability um yeah I know that oh yeah um so I can
10:37
take notes with this I he there you go I can annotate and take notes it be amazing are you
10:44
g no I'm gonna listen I'm so listening to it I'm I'm in it somebody has to it's
10:50
really a Sketchbook but I taped that on the front so every time she has to take
10:55
not people think that she's learning how to be a
11:01
away it's so crafty I love it yay I hope you use it a
11:06
lot thank you yay um yeah so I'm I'm still like I'm
11:12
really interested in this Farm thing because it's kind of something I always wanted to do like um I got a yeah no I
11:19
know um I got a house and like the thing that like me and Jess talked about a lot
11:24
was me getting Ducks because I have a backyard yeah so how many animals do you
11:29
have and how hard is it so far to take care of them all um well right now I've only got two goats three cats and two
11:38
dogs um but the goats are the only new ones right pardon the goats are the only
11:45
new ones right yeah yeah they're the only new ones yeah so I've I've went and looked at some donkeys but I have to get
11:52
the property like um I need to get it all cleared because it's just like full of like uh trees and shrub and weed and
12:00
stuff so I've got to get all the the land like mulched and cleared so I can have more um room for the animals so and
12:07
what about Horus no I've never wanted a horse no Horus the dog Horus oh
12:15
hor no that never ended up happening he's in bunder BG and so he's it's like
12:21
six six hours away from me so they would like they would prefer to get someone local because they need to do the um
12:27
they have to scout the house and all of that makes sense but I'm still looking I'm still on
12:34
the adoption page I'm there's still plenty plenty more dogs I'm looking
12:40
at but I need to get chickens first chickens then ducks and donkeys I reckon
12:45
is the the order okay fair yeah nice are you gonna milk any of these animals or
12:53
take their unborn children no because you have to like if they have milk they
13:00
have to have babies and then you take the milk from the babies so the babies their mom's milk and I just I don't
13:05
think it's nice dang you're you're just like a straight up just like a a a crazy
13:11
Farm lady like like all the practicality of having a farm is out the
13:18
window having fun it's literally just to cuddle the farm animals it's not to drink them or eat them it's to cuddle
13:25
them therapy the therapy Farm yo that's a great concept though therapy
13:32
Farms I feel like that could blow up it's like a petting zoo but for adults
13:38
yeah no kids allowed have a cocktail and a cuddle just like how amazing would that be yeah
13:46
have a little cuddle Cafe Farm Cafe yes yeah I like that idea
13:54
nice so what are your plans for 2024 I know you're kind of still still uh having fun and bringing in the New Year
14:02
all hard but do you have any like uh any plans for the near future right now um
14:09
well I be knuckle just got approved in California so they're going there in February so I'm gonna try and get on
14:14
that card because that would be cool obviously um yay yeah so that's that's
14:20
what I want to do that's in Feb so hopefully they can match me on that and I can fight on that so that's kind of my
14:27
plan if not I don't know still with be knle I just don't know when they haven't really said when they're going to book
14:33
me but so as far as matchups come who would you want to face next um I don't
14:40
really care to be honest like I just like whoever I just want to fight I guess like it's um none of them are
14:48
really like that interesting of a fight for me it's just me and Christine I feel
14:55
like we're like the top Runners and we fought twice and I lost my last one with her so I feel like the rest are all just
15:03
going to be like um fod like to I think I don't think they're gonna be good
15:09
enough to beat me and I don't think they're gonna be good enough to beat Christine either so it's kind of a weird
15:15
dynamic that the the um division's in right now unless they start signing some other Talent um but yeah I'll just F
15:23
I'll fight any of them maybe like three of them in the same night
15:30
yeah did uh paig vanan and Rachel oich they're still in Baron right or was that
15:37
a different promotion I don't know no so I just saw an interview it just came up on my suggestions on my feed today on
15:45
Instagram and it was it was paig fans out and she doesn't have any time frame of when she wants to fight but her next
15:51
one she said she still wants it to be bare knuckle so there's still a desire for that I think that'd be a cool a
15:57
really cool fight to have yeah AB out yeah I didn't I wasn't I didn't know if
16:03
she was still signed so I was like nobody did I didn't even think about it until I saw it today yeah no that'd be
16:11
awesome either either one of those girls I think that'd be really great but obviously with your history page that
16:17
would be a real fun one for you I think like the little little uh revenge tour
16:24
and what yes exactly exactly try and get some venge back I've always wanted to
16:30
have a rematch with her and I think Ben knuckle would be cool um uh it would be yeah cool to get it
16:36
amongst itan be knuckle but yeah I've always wanted to have a rematch regardless of what style I've always
16:42
wanted to kind of get that loss back because it was a shitty loss so yeah it was a weird one yeah it was that's it it
16:49
like I was winning and then I just got caught with the [ __ ] stupid ass kick
16:55
and it's like yeah like it was kind of um I guess it's MMA isn't it you can
17:00
just get caught with [ __ ] stupid [ __ ] and it works so it's a very unforgiving
17:05
Sport and then it never works again you know that's like it's like even more of
17:10
a slap in the face it's like it worked on you so now the next person knows it's common and it doesn't work on anyone
17:16
else you're like exactly [ __ ] why I have to be the first one you
17:21
know yeah so that's a big thing with with MMA as far as there are really bad
17:27
stoppages there's bad decisions um what kind of pattern are you seeing in bare
17:33
knuckle that you can kind of compare like what would your biggest complaint be in bare
17:38
knuckle um I think the ability to just kind of spazz out and throw punches and
17:45
it can land and it can damage you or H score I think is like because you You'
17:50
never see that in boxing with gloves like that just doesn't work but somehow it works in bare knuckle um I guess
17:57
because it's harder to block the punches more can get through so if you just throw you know 10 ridiculous punches at
18:03
least three or four of them are going to land and they can do damage so I think that's probably the one thing I don't
18:08
like about bare knuckle is you can win fights not really on skill but just on
18:14
toughness and um having the balls to just go out there and swing that's probably the my only pet
18:21
peeve with it because it [ __ ] works and I don't know why you know there's always something
18:27
what would you say your favorite thing about be knuckle is
18:33
um [ __ ] I don't know actually I've like boxing I've always liked to just have to focus on my hands I think it's cool to
18:40
kind of H your craft in so and I guess the the um the the factor of bare
18:46
knuckle like the risk in it is kind of um I don't know what that excites me I
18:52
guess and makes you kind of like makes you you know like bite down in your mouth garden and like be a be a [ __ ]
18:59
animal in there I guess you can't just [ __ ] foot around in there I think that like what it brings out in me I like
19:04
about it very cool have you ever tried to um get fights with gloves you know boxing
19:12
matches with like regular ones with gloves and stuff uh become ranked as a
19:18
boxer any of that stuff after MMA yeah I'd love to it's just here in Australia
19:24
they um there's just no money in it like they don't want to pay the local seen Fighters um especially women this the
19:31
sport here like boxing here is still really sexist so um I there was a big
19:37
show that I was trying to get on um I was trying to they offered me a fight on the undercard and they offered me $1,800
19:44
to fight on a massive card like it was a big card with big Fighters that I know
19:50
were getting paid you know a lot of money and I was just like I can't like I'd lose money in a fight Camp fighting
19:57
for sure um and their response with oh that's just what we pay the
20:02
girlf they don't even hate it there yeah and I'm like well first of all I'm not
20:07
just any girl but like what like like that's you're just you're openly admitting that that's just what girls
20:14
get paid in boxing yeah like and that's okay and I should just lump it up or leave it so um yeah kind of left a bit
20:23
taste in my mouth um with the sport so yeah if I was to box I'd probably have to try and go elsewhere like outside of
20:28
the country because they just don't respect women here and um and they also don't really pay their local Fighters
20:35
that much either sure I mean I've heard really good things about the women's
20:40
boxing pay I mean again I'm not talking to you know everybody across the board
20:45
but from what I've heard um women's boxing is definitely like getting up there with with p uh
20:53
equality yeah it is just Australia's kind of stuck in the times I guess or they just don't um see the value in US
21:01
um so you don't see value in me you can suck my lady dick
21:07
yes up well um it it sucks that uh you're
21:15
based out there because there are a lot of opportunities it seems like in America and has anyone uh hit you up for
21:22
any of those shows like the triller shows or uh you know like the Jake Paul stuff any of those big even game bread
21:29
would be a great one yeah we've seen a lot of big female fights out here for
21:34
boxing and even for a no there are Heats opportunities I think it's the fact that
21:40
I'm here in Australia I don't know like it's um I guess you have to get my Visa and um travel costs and stuff as well
21:47
I'm not really sure like I've I've asked um Brian to reach out to um which one is
21:54
it is it what's Jake Paul's one what's that one called um that's triller that's Trill well is
22:01
it still triller yeah still and um and the misfit one you know where they do
22:08
the um yeah the YouTubers sorry my son's just here
22:14
oh you hi hi you're so big oh my God oh
22:20
my go what is who's that man who's that man in
22:26
there I mean hug dude that's so
22:33
crazy he's like you should you should see zake he is
22:38
like yeah deep voice he has Bas in his voice it scar me it makes me so
22:45
uncomfortable oh my god well like uh this uh young man walked into asek other
22:52
day and I was like he looks familiar and then I saw a cat walk behind him I was like holy [ __ ] that's PR
22:59
oh my God he's like a big ass dude like a big ass dude that would like cat call
23:06
woman on the street like no well no he's a sweet boy but he was raised right yeah
23:12
he was raised right but still I wouldn't card him if he bought something from the
23:21
bottle let him ni yeah that's crazy all
23:26
your kids
23:32
Yeah well yeah I would love to see you fight out here more often I'm excited for that bare knuckle out here in
23:39
California that should be fun maybe we can try to steal you make you stay for a
23:44
little bit yeah I might come out early um and finish my camp out there and see
23:51
R so it'll work out well so hopefully they get me on it I might actually hit them up and be like can book me put me
23:59
on that one yeah make some calls while you're there
24:04
be like hey need someone call out some sisters some Sano
24:10
sisters or something yeah see what happens yeah it's a good idea um yeah
24:16
I'd like to Branch out into boxing too just do both because it's obiously
24:21
doesn't have to change much training so um I've always love boxing so it'll be cool to get amongst that as well but
24:28
we'll see what happens what's your uh looking at for
24:33
MMA fights are you still interested in that at all or or hard to get back into
24:39
it yeah I think it'll be too hard to get back into it now I think um especially my don't reckon my body would like it I
24:46
think it would probably break on me I do miss it though I miss it I still
24:52
want to do ji- jit so I want to get back into that and might maybe one day put a ghee on and try get a belt a pajama
25:01
party yeah so he's a little easier it's a little easier on your body depending on
25:08
like if you have like small people to work with but yeah it's just slower so
25:14
there's less chance of like chaos yeah if you're getting beat up you just get
25:19
beat up longer but if you're winning you can like you know have a nice lazy WI a
25:25
little bit laier yeah exactly so yeah that sometimes that's how I
25:30
convince myself to go because I don't like it but but it is
25:38
fun it is fun put
25:44
