husband's 15 year anniversary we really just got married because of like the
1:36
fact that he wasn't American like if he was from like Alabama or some [ __ ] then we wouldn't have gotten married so soon
1:42
but because he was from Scotland we got married pretty quickly and I was like we can get married as long as you pay for
1:49

Christmas well not celebration interview first well we were celebrating our first
4:07
interview of that's a c for celebration I was celebrating that after we hung
4:13
up Beck had already celebrated she's a champ she already celebrated the night
4:19
before and she is such a champ for showing she is so excited she was so excited to be our first guest that she
4:26
drank herself into a severe hangover yes she's like more Margaritas for two
4:31
straws and and she kept like laying these subtle hints like how bad she felt
4:36
I was like listen girl you're going to Rally right you you better get your [ __ ] together listen
4:44
honey should have called her and give her that pep talk the party pep talk I told her I was like listen you need to
4:50
have yourself another Margarita a as a a young um you know I started uh going to
4:57
like havu which we call the river oh I started going there when I was like 15 16 which we established was not a
5:05
river it was a lake it's a lake I think it has like a no no it's a lake um there might be a
5:14
Channel or two within the lake exactly that makes it a river yes believe it or
5:19
not there's also um something that they call London Bridge and people party and you know throw beads and get beads for
5:26
showing their boobies on London Bridge yes oh nice it's a very s phisticated Suare is there actually a bridge there
5:32
or is it just yeah yeah yeah yeah there's a bridge that's impressive it's
5:37
small but it's there it's technically a bridge nice but um I learned very young
5:43
that um hair the dog is the best way to carry hangover and I tried to encourage her as I do you and Adam every time
5:49
you're hung over complaining and griping uh the next day and wish we were
5:54
dead it happens really often I know and I tell you every time and they never do
6:00
it we're usually with you when we have a hangover you're just
6:06
like you're [ __ ] light beer yes your poni like I learned at a
6:13
very young age that that is the way to carry on it's the only thing that'll even you out it's true I it's worked
6:19
usually for me but then I feel bad trying to force Adam to do the same
6:25
thing he would rather just gpe and moan and complain yeah it's a Scottish thing think that's I think I think it's a
6:32
cultural kind of just Just Give Me A Reason yeah to Grape and complain you
6:38
know what I had some complaining to do before I was hung over and now was a great time to do it I've been saving up
6:45
yeah exactly I wrote them down let me tell you the ways that I'm
6:51
unhappy I don't want to hear your Solutions no I only want problems yes
6:57
just listen to my problems don't get me Solutions so it it does help it does
7:02
help and uh Beck did not have any of the hair of the dog before we talked to her
7:08
but she manned up and I am really happy that her son was there because he put
7:15
her together like he was like Mom listen you got to put this on put these shades on put this shirt on she was just gonna
7:22
show up in a ones I feel like she was going to show up in straight pajamas but she was like uh co uh dressed for like
7:31
Zoom meetings so like everything from the top looked in order um the only thing that they was um an oversight was
7:38
the the camera angle it was a little bit low so you could see her pajama bottoms yeah I loved it I loved the little her
7:44
little butt cheeks little butt cheeks and they're sassy little things you know so cute

8:46
bkfc bare knuckle man himself the Juggernaut yeah champ champ yes coming
8:52
on two straws yeah I'm so excited I can't wait to ask him about the Tomato thing oh he's got a story I've heard
8:58
this story I'm really excited about it he's a great Storyteller he has great personality very well spoken um and and
9:05
just a really gentle human being for being such a Savage yes it was very
9:10
shocking to me a I feel like that's a common trait amongst people who just
9:16
seem unreal when you meet them in they're I guess when they're not in
9:22
fight mode they're very gentle yes like like the most Savage person that I've
9:27
trained with consistently is probably jemy Stevens oh my God and he is the most gentle soul the most
9:35
motivational uh just get behind you 100% super loyal
9:42
person that I've ever met he is like the person you want in the gym during fight
9:48
Camp he's the person you want in your corner yeah he's the person you want at like any family event he is like he's
9:56
he's like team captain he is I would have him at my baby shower just like
10:01
leading all the games I'd had I'd have him there while I was giv birth so he could coach me through
10:08
it and then when the baby popped out he'd grab it so gently but securely he
10:13
would never drop it keep it so safe pull it out not in a creepy
10:20
way no he's just he's just one of those solid standup dudes he is it was I think I've said this before to you or at some
10:27
point but it was really nice being in Salt Lake City cornering back and then
10:33
he was also fighting on the same card making his bar kna boxing debut which he killed it one by
10:39
TKO yes yeah yeah TKO by TKO yeah he cut the guy yes um and it was just so nice
10:46
he rented an Airbnb so we were over there every single day and it just felt so nice to have the band back together yeah love it it was like a really good
10:53
feeling that I haven't felt in a very long time you know it was just really nice having everybody there we're all
10:59
kind of family like all of the alliance MMA vagabonds yeah yeah can't stay away
11:05
from each other too long always find our way back yeah it pretty awesome yeah so that
11:10
that's uh it's not surprising but it's nice to hear that juggernaut's kind of like that I'm I'm really excited to talk
11:17
to him for the first time because I've had him saved in my PO pre-fight
11:22
motivational highlights for a long time just his Knockouts his his demeanor
11:28
going into the into the ring just uh the not give a fuckness that he has like
11:34
that's the type of thing that I would love the channel and just Embrace going into a fight and he's able to do that
11:41
every time he steps up there it's really cool yeah I yeah I'm really excited to be there um
11:49
I I am lucky enough to be able to uh be in Miami for that card or it's not in Miami it's in South Florida there go oh
11:56
okay um so it's in South Florida so um close yeah same thing but different
12:01
Miami is in the south of Florida yeah I mean it counts uh but I'm really excited to be there live for that fight um it'll
12:08
be the first time that I've been at a that I will be at a bare knuckle boxing fight where I'm not cornering okay and I
12:15
just get to go watch and support I'm a little bit nervous because there there is some intense
12:22
energy in there and it's not like MMA energy like if you've been to an MMA event there's um it's like it's a really
12:30
awesome heightened energy and it is really cool to be inside of the Arena
12:35
during that but it's kind of different in in baring boxing and I don't think it necessarily translates through the TV is
12:41
it similar to boxing or no it's just different there's like this um because
12:46
you I feel like I'm just aware of the brutality of it yeah and you can hear
12:52
the sounds and they're different than MMA sounds they're really different um and there's and crunches yeah and
12:59
splashes and um it's it's absolutely brutal I again I've said this before and
13:04
I have no desire to ever do it but I I respect it I admire the athletes that do it I feel like uh if you're doing baroa
13:11
boxing like you're built differently so I'm I'm really I'm excited to see it
13:17
just as a spectator so what are you going to wear um probably something black oh cute yeah hopefully I'll be out
13:25
of my boots so I can wear somewhat cute shoes instead of my freaking hocas uh
13:31
with uh really hard inserts so I don't reinjure myself again oh my God please
13:36
stay away from your stripper Hills that you usually wear when you go out like those things I feel I've I've borrowed
13:44
them I have worn shoes that are similar and I swear to God every time I'm
13:49
wearing them I feel like I'm just staring down at a cliff that I'm going to eventually fall off you know I feel
13:55
like um you know I'm going to have to do physical therapy I started physical therapy for my foot you know just
14:01
getting some stuff because my my Arch is really tight my foot has lost some Mobility uh my calf is atrophied like
14:08
all all sorts of things I've been able to keep pretty strong and lift but there are just certain things that I uh muscles that have not been able to you
14:15
know trigger yeah without the MMA stuff yeah so I feel like I'm going to have to go through some solid Physical Therapy
14:23
um to wear girl shoes again oh put seriously you're back to the bottom like
14:28
the rest of us like the rest of us female fighters who can't walk in Hills little little baby giraffes baby deers
14:35
so cute it's like the drunk girls in Las Vegas you ever see them like walking there's um there's a video on
14:40
YouTube uh it's absolutely hilarious I'm sure it's circulated onto Instagram by now but there's a song the walk a shame
14:48
kind of no it's like a drunk girl walking they made a song about this I have to find it and I have to post it on
14:54
my story but it's hilarious because it just shows all the different types of drunk girls in Vegas there's like the girls that don't know how to walk in
15:02
heels there's the girl that hold their heels cuz they're too drunk there's the girl crying on the corner cuz you know
15:07
something happened at the club yeah uh there's all sorts of like different versions of these like girls in vegas
15:12
these drunk girl walking and it's a really funny video I love it I'm definitely the first too like I'll
15:19
wobble until I give up and I'm okay with that I'm okay walking around I will wear
15:25
those shoes I'm not taking them off I'm conditioned to be barefoot in public so
15:31
I I am conditioned to wear heels through the pain through the pain I I actually I
15:38
wore some really fancy heels that I bought in in France because I'm so fancy you're so fancy I'm so fancy god I went
15:45
to UFC Paris last year and I wore heels in France and no one told me when I
15:52
bought those heels that everything is Cobblestone [ __ ]
15:57
dude I can imagine I almost died my little little footsies were so tired my
16:05
big toe was screaming at me because it was getting bent backwards in a way that it doesn't like to get bent like I can
16:11
barely shoot on that thing and here I am we're in these tall ass Hills it's bent like at full um full
16:19
full 90 yes it's it's not supposed to been that far and then we have the
16:24
cobblestone on top so it's like every step is a bosu ball
16:30
So eventually Adam ended up carrying meat which I thought was super romantic oh my goodness so such a shiverers man I
16:38
need one of thems carry me around I know but it was embarrassing because we had to take a uber and our hotel was less
16:46
than5 miles away I've been there though I I've been there I'm like listen I really want to look cute I'm going to
16:52
take a lot of pictures but we're driving yes there there will be no walking the
16:57
only walking that will be done is from the car to the table then the table to the car yeah I should have stuck to
17:03
those rules because I was really like no let's walk back to the hotel and then about halfway there I tapped out it was
17:11
too much did you have a sit on the curb no I just hung out on top of it see
17:17
usually so this is my thing um I'll usually find something to lean on and then I'll like go up on my heels to like
17:24
you know alleviate some of that no that works yeah yeah I have a good technique
17:30
for that too yeah but then there's no walking after that after that my toes are pretty much
17:36
given up and they're like I hate you yeah I I worry if I'm ever going to be able to wear heels again you will I have
17:42
some nice heels man no you will I believe in the conditioning that you've put in for years yeah I I feel like
17:49
that's going to override the atrophy that you've faced for less than a year yeah I wish I could say the same for my
17:55
cardio cuz that shit's gone I don't know if that's done I don't know if it's ever coming back either it'll come back it'll
18:01
come back either that or you'll learn to fight lazy which is definitely a skill that you learn as a veteran to keep up
18:08
with the kids and it works a lot of times I mean I can do that in Jiu-Jitsu all day yeah I don't know how to do it in MMA no I I think you'll figure it out
18:16
I can help you out because I've been fighting kind of lazy lately it works for me on days that I don't feel like
18:21
doing [ __ ] but I still have to be a good training partner I'm like oh this is
18:27
easy this is yeah I I'll I'll give you all the hints
18:32
thank you um so speaking of MMA fights we we don't have anything booked yet but
18:40
everyone is excited about the first week of MMA that is coming next week oh yes
18:47
it seems like it's been so long we're so spoiled what four weeks since our last
18:53
MMA fight I feel like it hasn't been that long but it feels that long has it been four weeks already or has it only been three
18:59
um I'm going to do the math right now so January 13th a day before my birthday oh
19:04
my goodness is the next fight so that'll be one week two week three week yeah it's been four
19:12
weeks damn it's been four weeks since we had MMA we are [Music]
19:18
feing maybe that's why it was itching earlier yeah oh we need a like what are
19:23
you talking about I'm fine I need to see blood Bloodshed you know what I I miss
19:28
it you know what I miss most I miss punching people I miss making them yeah
19:36
it's like I I [ __ ] miss it it's such a fun feeling to feel someone give up in your hands oh it's amazing I can't
19:45
wait don't worry you'll be there soon you'll be there soon enough I'm GNA I'm going to start with some like uh some
19:51
noobs yeah there you go just go go pick on be careful though they might like accidentally break your foot trying to
19:57
defend it I'm I'm not kidding you I I've gotten like some serious injuries from
20:03
like white belts blue belts cuz they're like super enthusiastic cuz they like know some stuff and they're not like
20:08
white belts anymore yeah they're like I'm G to try this flying armar it's like no you're just dude I I in the head a
20:15
new blue belt Chi my freaking tooth oh no I remember um we always talk about
20:22
the female nutshot and I am a firm believer of the fact that the female nutshot is nowhere as debilitating and
20:30
shouldn't be a foul um compared to the m nutshot but there was one
20:37
time there was one time I needed a second and I was training with the girl I've been training for like maybe five
20:43
six years in Muay Tha and I was training with this girl and she I was trying to
20:49
show her how to throw a knee and clinch and I was like okay we got the over under and now you're just going to bring
20:55
that knee up and she went du right right up in the lady business
21:01
right in the part that's never been hit no one's hit that part like what in
21:07
the world oh and I feel like I needed a second just so I didn't hurt her yeah
21:13
yeah I feel that but it was it it was definitely one of those moments where you realize like man someone with less
21:19
experience can hurt you more than someone with more exp sure can yeah they don't move normally it's unpredictable
21:27
yeah it really is I've I've had I've had people you know roll the wrong way and
21:32
like kick me or like actually like bring me into the ground in a weird way it's
21:38
just why am I seeing Stars right now just it's just weird it's weird once
21:44
I had a um injury that I was trying to protect uh I had messed up my ankle so I
21:49
was trying to protect it so I would just play guard and this [ __ ] he gets
21:55
into my guard full guard I have him in between my legs and he just rolls over out of nowhere and puts me in Mount like
22:02
I'm mounted on him and my [ __ ] up ankle is just broken even more and I'm
22:10
just like ah get off of me and it's just the most unpredictable stuff happens when you're rolling with
22:16
people with less experience like no one in a competition would roll over from
22:21
guard and let you mount them so it's just one of those things that you have to be aware of when you're rolling with
22:28
people who are kind of new and also when you're protecting an injury so be careful with them beat them up but
22:36
choose them wisely no I'm I've um I I've gotten so
22:42
many like injuries over the years that I'm I'm pretty strict with who I train with like there it's it's very much
22:48
trust trust based and it's not like I'm not going to get hurt but I just need to know that the person is technically
22:53
sound enough I know their their temperature as a human
22:59
that there's a lot of trust involved when I pick a training partner yeah good that's just how it has to be and guys if
23:05
you're starting to train or if you are getting back into it you used to train
23:11
just Heed These words like be careful who you train with think about size think about experience think about like
23:18
how many people has that person injured in the gym and be picky like you you have the right to be picky no one's
23:24
going to bully you into training with someone if you don't want to so so just be safe out there I know everyone has
23:31
their uh New Year's resolutions right now to get back at it so this is probably the biggest
23:38
injury time of the year I know I know it it like uh starts going up and then like
23:44
right around March I feel like it just plummets yeah yeah for our old gym my
23:50
old Muay Thai gym it would be like mid-February but like as soon as you hit that January Mark and you're like okay I
23:56
did it I'm I'm good I don't think I need another
24:04
month enough of that yeah oh do you have any resolutions this year no no no I'm
24:10
just trying to get healed that's a resolution yeah you're like shut up shut
24:16
up um uh I definitely I who was I just talking to um I want I
24:24
want to travel to like Italy and Paris o yeah it's they're my bucket list um
24:30
discover your roots yes are you like French and Italian
24:35
um so I am from northern Italian or
24:40
Northern Italy northern northern Italian um my my family is from Northern Italy
24:47
and so it's close enough to France where I feel like we may have some crossover okay you know just um the people up in
24:54
that area are like um fair skin they have um like very specific bone structure hair colors and all that kind
25:00
of stuff so I feel like there is some kind of French ancestry in there yeah you have a French face oh do I yeah I
25:07
guess you have a long cigarette one those big hats just judging
25:15
me stupid American you know I guess see you saying that yeah but I'm I'm excited
25:23
there's um my um I have family members who have gone to the the village where
25:29
my family's from in Northern Italy and like seeing our our names up there like you know one of the founding families up
25:35
there so it would be pretty cool that'd be awesome but that's a a goal I don't know if that's a resolution but it's definitely what I want to do by the end
25:43
of next year oh do it this year yeah do it yeah don't get stopped by anything I
25:50
don't think I will like there's a better way to say that but I get what you're saying yeah
25:56
yeah do it that's awesome um I think for me um I've been focusing a lot on like
26:03
the mental side of stuff um which you which you've been doing for a long time
26:10
it's the only thing that I've been able to do yeah and by God it helps I I think it's
26:17
a really important part that a lot of Fighters don't Embrace until maybe it's too late so I've been getting into that
26:24
and uh I think that's where most of my resolution solutions kind of reside is really doing the brain training and
26:31
making sure that I'm doing all the work that you have to do when it comes to
26:37
being in the moment and entering that flow State and just being kind of Zen with yourself and where you've where
26:43
you've uh gotten to and like where you are right now and so that part has been
26:51
uh I guess maybe the hardest part of last year is just getting started with
26:56
that but now I feel like I have a good flow so just continuing that and continuing to push the boundaries to get
27:02
it even more Zen and meditate longer and and uh don't skip days of my journal and
27:09
stuff like that that's going to help me get to that next level with the brain stuff because challenge it's you have to
27:16
develop new habits I mean um you know how many years have you been doing a certain thing a certain way it it takes
27:23
you know even more time to create new healthy habits my my biggest challenge has been positive selft talk and like
27:31
really interrupting those those negative unnecessary unproductive like internal
27:37
conversations that's been the hardest thing for me had a lot of practice a lot
27:42
of practice tearing myself down insane and it's like people people get on the
27:47
internet and they think they can be harsh towards us but it's like no we're
27:52
our worst enemies like we are our worst internet trolls oh yeah we have a direct line to
27:59
the brain so anytime you mess up a technique anytime you mess up in training or in competition that negative
28:08
talk has a really big opening to jump in there and just just burrow down and stay
28:14
there for a long time and so yeah that that's been a big one for me too with the brain training is just taking away
28:20
that negative top talk spining it and using whatever criticism I have of
28:26
myself in a positive way instead of just saying [ __ ] you suck you know and and
28:31
it's it's so uh it's it feels so simple once you start doing it but it really is
28:37
a thing that you have to stay consistent with because it's so easy for that negative talk to creep in even when
28:43
you've had a good streak of being super positive uh thinking of yourself in a
28:49
positive light and being fair with yourself you know a lot of times we're really unfair and judgmental towards
28:56
oursel and um I know we try to put on our brave face in front of fans and in
29:01
front of uh you know the media and stuff but we're all just human and we're all
29:07
very critical it's it's such um we put ourselves in such a a vulnerable state
29:13
like you know putting ourselves out there in a cage in front of fans and I
29:18
mean we're we're putting ourselves out there in the the most vulnerable way we
29:24
possibly can so it's um yeah no matter how how trained I think Fighters are
29:30
like some of that stuff still gets through some of that stuff still affects because it reinforces a story that we
29:36
are already thinking because again we're our own we're Our Own Worst critics and so if we think it and then somebody says
29:42
something it just like affirms that story yeah and it's it's really it's a
29:47
vicious cycle it's really hard to get out of but it's um it's where that practice comes from it's where you know
29:53
it's important to have that um that good strong support that Circle around us that um that keeps us strong
30:00
and keeps us you know Keeps Us positive because it it is challenging it's a it's
30:06
a very brutal and forgiving Sport and you can be you know up at the
30:11
top and way back down at the bottom within one fight yeah you could be Alexander vinoski greatest fighter in
30:18
the world pound-for-pound number one at some point last year I think he still is
30:24
I think he's maybe maybe John Jones is up but you can be volkanovski and still
30:30
have this negative talk still have this uh issue with um just the mental side
30:38
and not being able to handle not having something on the docket not feeling like
30:43
you're going towards the next goal not feeling comfortable in your skin at that
30:49
moment and it's really it's it's a really uncomfortable feeling um so it
30:54
doesn't matter whether you've hit all all your goals that you wanted or whether you've failed some whether
31:00
you're working your way up to the top it's it's just this thing that's consistent and if we don't focus on it
31:06
then you're never going to get over that hump and that's something I had to learn
31:12
last year after 28 fights in the
31:17
UFC so hopefully I can convince somebody who just gets is just getting started
31:23
out to start focusing on that side as well and um you'll be even more prepared once you get to the Big Show if you ever
31:29
do I mean it's important to focus on even if you're not a fighter yeah I mean everyday conversations I mean even if
31:36
you you know have have a death job even if you you know what whatever your job
31:41
may be those kinds of intrusive um unproductive conversations can can chime
31:47
in and they can really throw a person off and uh throw them off course so I think it's just important practice being
31:54
kinder to yourself kinder to other people and you know that sort of thing I think attracts that good energy give it
32:01
out receive it and uh just keep going with it yeah I think that's why I like the holidays because people are a little
32:07
more open to being kind I feel like depending except for if you go to the mall yeah depending I've seen some [ __ ]
32:14
at the mall yeah like stay away from Black Friday and stay away from like
32:20
Boxing Day deals and stuff like that Christmas
32:26
Eve home during December stay home as soon as thanksgiving's over just stay
32:33
home but I do feel like certain places you go like if you're walking around the park or if you're at the grocery store
32:40
and it's not crowded then people are a little more nice a little more friendly
32:46
and I wish people would just like that all year round because it like you need that like I don't know it it's like I
32:53
got kind of mushy over the holidays too because I saw some family but I was like I got to appreciate what I got
33:01
absolutely cuz you don't know how long you'll have it yeah I think it's absolutely important to focus on
33:07
gratitude yeah but anyway Let's uh moving on to something a little lighter yes uh these fights coming up on January
33:15
13th we have some like is like it's not really making a huge deal but anle
33:22
versus Johnny Walker I mean that's definitely a title contention yeah for sure um Johnny
33:29
Walker is such a fun guy and I love watching him fight I love that in his
33:36
last fight he did like the little joke thing where well not his La well yeah
33:41
yeah was it his last fight where he did the little joke thing and uh yeah it was
33:46
uh versus Uncle the he pretended to get hurt and he threw the jump knee yes that
33:53
was so funny to me but then you know they kind of messed it up
33:58
they kind of ruined that whole moment but I'm loving that this fight get rebooked um it's going to be happening
34:05
on January 13th the day after my birthday and yeah it seems like a good
34:10
opening fight to the 2024 UFC year yeah and then next up after
34:19
that we have the much anticipated Strickland versus duplicit yes and um I
34:26
hope hope that their second fight is as entertaining and exciting as their first
34:32
one their Co yes at 296 yes they stole the show they did I don't even remember
34:39
what happened on that fight I don't remember either who fought I don't know I think it was some fly
34:46
weights somebody won nobody cares a f things it's hard to compete with a fight
34:52
in the audience first of all but then when you're a flyweight in the fight in the audience audience is the middleweight champion then yeah yeah
35:00
that's hard to sorry no views sorry yeah but uh I'm happy this fight is actually
35:06
happening and I am actually a lot more into this fight now I know it's lame
35:13
that they did the whole fight in the audience thing to Hype it but Hook Line
35:19
and Sinker they got me I'm in I'm in I was not emotionally attached to the
35:25
outcome of this fight whatsoever but I am or invested I am invested yes yeah
35:31
who are you invested in do you have a dog Strickland they God I am having a
35:38
really hard time with this however he's just such an underdog I'm just ah I'm rooting for him he burrowed his
35:46
way into every woman's brain because he is a bastard when it comes to
35:51
feminism y he is the worst he stands for anti-woman 's rights he he would
35:59
campaign for female suffrage isn't that like the thing yeah he wants some back
36:04
at home Barefoot in the kitchen yeah um but for whatever reason I'm rooting for
36:11
him over theis um I don't know I'm still I'm still is it weird that he's more
36:17
likable than dupes no because dupes like acts like a robot it's hard to very like
36:24
South African in the way that's un aable I think where you're just kind of
36:30
walking around unaware that like a partti happened like
36:36
like I'm African too like I I feel like the the it's just a
36:43
little offputting yeah little bit he can't read the room in a good way and I think Strickland is
36:50
a really good person at reading the room picking on the people that he needs to to get a rise out of people but also
36:55
still seeing I mean uh charismatic I appreciate
37:03
his and whatever form it comes out of his mouth but I appreciate just his like
37:08
honesty yes I appreciate his uh he is very genuinely authentically him all the
37:15
time and I I mean whether I agree or disagree I can respect and appreciate it
37:21
yeah I think if he was talking to me you some random bum on the street uh Dana
37:27
White he would say the same thing to all of us if if no if it was just a singular
37:34
conversation he would say the same exact thing to all of us like he doesn't uh
37:39
change his speech depending on who he's talking to he's just kind of like I wear it on my sleeve I tell it like it is in
37:46
in a real sense not in a way that's trying to I don't know get people on his side and pretend
37:54
that he's like that I don't know it is there is like a lot to
38:00
um a lot to enjoy about his cander and the way that he's able to uh talk his
38:08
way into these situations and and just be himself and people don't hate him for
38:13
it you know like there's something to be said about that so I'm excited for this
38:18
fight that I didn't think I was going to be excited for I think they did a great job of just the poking and prodding of
38:25
each other and in the audience fight I love that the fact that he moved um
38:31
Gilbert Burns's kids out of the way before he fought this guy like it shows
38:36
you there's a heart in this in this man this man that is just like ah I hate
38:42
this and that there's a heart inside of him he has Common Sense he's not a dick he's not going to uh endanger the lives
38:49
of Innocents just for um a media thing like just for some play on on
38:57
on uh MMA Media or whatever Ty type the fight so I I'm I'm digging it and I'm
39:03
excited to see who wins and I too am rooting for Strickland Believe It or Not nope if uh
39:12
my new favorite fighter as Jess
39:17
says stop it oh my God he also um he just was on the theovon podcast and he
39:25
got really vulnerable and I also really appreciated that I heard about that so are are is anyone
39:32
giving him a little bit of [ __ ] for that um for getting vulnerable I know some
39:38
people are like trying to call him Hypocrites yeah I think that's what polius was was coming oh with yeah what
39:46
did he say I I think he said just that oh that um no he it doesn't change his
39:52
opinion on him it's just um that he's a hypocrite in blah blah blah uh yeah cuz
39:58
he probably went on he was probably explaining the thing that dcy said didn't he uh say in a press conference
40:04
oh you got touched when you were a kid I think there was something like that yeah yeah and shiken was like that's all you
40:11
come up with again not reading a
40:16
room come on man do better you're making your country look bad come
40:22
on yeah I mean that and that was on the same that was in the same time frame as
40:27
we had uh Mr Mr chaos Kobe Covington talking about oh man yeah talking about
40:35
dead parents come on yeah that I like I hate that and again we're out there we
40:41
know that you can throw anything at us and we're going to have to take a with
40:47
stride because it's not like there's a law against it but at the same time it's not just the fighter that you have to
40:53
deal with but it's the fan base people are are not going to get behind you if you're talking about someone's dead Dad
41:00
it's hard that's a hard sell It's A Hard Sell I think if any kby fans were on the fence about whether they still lik them
41:07
or not that might have pushed them off especially if they have a dead dad which
41:12
a lot of people have dead dads this it's not uncommon it's not uncommon for your
41:18
dad to be dead so for for kby to lash out of him for that like it's just un
41:24
it's just untasteful it leaves sour taste in your mouth towards that fighter because you're like this guy is playing
41:30
dirty he's not talking about his skill he's not talking about the man himself even if you were to do like a Strickland
41:37
thing and talk about the guy's wife there was a reason for that it was funny it was a way to kind of take his eye off
41:45
the ball without really digging into it like he's not talking about her looks he's not talking about um anything aside
41:53
from the fact that this joke thing was out there and he's making fun of that so I I feel like that is in a different
42:00
category from dead parents you know it's it's
42:06
because a lot of people are trying to compare the two and I think no there's nothing to compare yeah like it's very
42:14
different and Colby his delivery is awful so if there
42:19
was a way to make dead dad tasteful kobby kovon is not the one to pull it off no who who would be the one to to
42:26
pull that off I feel like maybe Conor McGregor probably cuz he says it with a stupid accent he's
42:33
like dead you only figure out like two sentences like later what he actually
42:40
said then it's already passed so you can't even comment on it yeah exactly he would be able to deliver it in a way
42:47
with this accent that people would either laugh or forgive him the American
42:53
accent is just so unforgiving you just really got to stay on line with it um anybody else with an with an accent can
42:59
get away with a little bit more yeah could you imagine if Kobe coenson threw a woman off a
43:08
yacht can you imagine if he if he sexually assaulted a
43:13
woman in the bathroom at a basketball game can you imagine Kobe kovin K didn't get it away with that he would not he
43:20
would get his ass kicked at the place where it happened first of all
43:27
he'd probably get thrown off the yacht as well like he would not get away with that Conor mcgar can get away with
43:33
anything straight to jail yeah straight to jail straight to
43:38
jail throw a dolly at a bus straight to
43:43
jail oh my goodness you got to have the delivery you have to have that that
43:50
slick tongue and the money and the money the money the money helps it does the money helps you may know the president
43:57
but you don't have the money to to get away with this crime you're you're on your friend's
44:03
yacht I have my own yeah yeah exactly you rench your girls I have my
44:10
own I have a yacht full of girls so many that I can throw one off
44:17
the boat at any time they won't complain not that much
44:24
not if they want a Lifeboat I'll just sprinkle some money on them and they'll forget all about it go pick
44:30
it up swim to those dollars oh yeah man poor Kobe I feel
44:37
like that's what he wanted the whole time he wanted that type of unforgive or forgivable mischievousness you know what
44:45
it is it's it's a gift to be a likable [ __ ] it it's really a gift many many
44:50
are not born with it and few can develop that skill it's really either have or
44:56
