Bobby Sports when downloading the DraftKings sports book Gap Stay tuned,
you'll hear more about DraftKings and all it has to
offer throughout the show DraftKings The Crown az Yours and

(00:32):
you got a whistle?

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Yeah, I got it.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
We'll talk college basketball. And also Michael Chandler, mma fighter. Yes,
we just finished the interview with him five minutes ago.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
That was awesome. Dude, so cool to me. I mean,
he would kill you. I've only met like a handful
of UFC fighters and they're just unbelievable people because yeah,
they will murder you in one punch, but also it
so calm.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
He's so calm, so well thought out, like and I
mentioned it to him one of our mutual friends, Michael
Chanler of myself was like, he's really smart, Like, don't
think some fighters coming in.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
There was like, oh must fight you think that? Well?

Speaker 2 (01:07):
You think that possibly he hasn't had to focus on
a certain part of his life because he's been so
good at another. Therefore, why would he you only focus
on the part you're being celebrated.

Speaker 1 (01:15):
Like I have four kids, and there are two where
I'm like, you need to go to school, like you're
you're not gonna be an athlete, and they are the
other two like you don't need to study. Dude, you're good,
You're going to be an athlete.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I don't know that i'd tell you that. So yeah,
And I just DMed him that's it. Because he lives
in town. I was like, hey, we come up because
he's doing something with Covenant. There was a shooting here
about a year ago and he was selling these hats
and donating the proceeds and I was like, hey, come up,
and he's like, yeah, no problem, And I guess he
leaves for camp a couple of days. It's the last day.

(01:46):
So we got very fortunate. But I never sat with
an MMA fighter before.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
It's pretty awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:52):
It's crazy to think that I could just jump up
and just kill you.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah, but he won't. But he won't because he's a
very peaceful man.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Unless the rattlesnakes tail gets stepped on right right, then
that snake wills straight. So that's coming up just a
little bit. But now let's go to the tittle Tattle.
His name ever The Tittle Tattle.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
With weekend one in the books, which team impressing most
over the weekend?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
It was a weird weekend where there weren't that many Cinderelli's.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
I like a few.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
I like a few more than there were. It's kind
of boring. A lot of blowouts. Yeah, Purdue always, at
least in recent memory, they've always kind of craft the
bed and it's here comes Purdue one or two seed,
and next thing, you know, auty five thousand. But they
won both games combined an average of thirty three points.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Yeah, they're murdered and I don't trust.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
Them still, but it's been a really cool look for
them because they have dominated in the way they're supposed
to dominate.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
Duke has played well.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Yeah, shockingly, they've won by about thirty points a game. Clemson,
a six seed, beats New Mexico. Okay, they should have
won that, but then they beat Baylor.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Was crazy.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
It's a great game.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Arizona's been really good. They won both their games about
twenty or so.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
That's who I have winning it at all. But I
don't know. I'm not convinced enough. I know, I think
I think that their matchups have been pretty good, Like
they handle their business and they're fine. They're a fine team.
But dude, Purdue is so good. And not only is
it all in the seven foot four dude likes Zach Edie.
They have shooters, so I mean with that, I think
they're dominant. And then Yukon is just so dominant.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
The crazy thing about this tournament is you just survive.
It's almost like wipe away what's happened in the past,
let's go again. Like I think Houston can still win
it all, even after they struggle with Texas A and
M like they did so close. Man, I think Houston
is good again. Matchups mean so much who they're playing,
how they play. But if you just survive, it's almost
like you're starting over, and if you're really good, you're
really good again. It doesn't it's not based on what

(03:48):
happened last game. If so, then Houston would lose Thursday.
The playoffs that Texas A and M game, TAXA A
and M is so many free throws.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
I think I could have shot.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
As well as they did. And I don't remember the
exact step, but it was like twenty five of forty
two or something at one point when the game was
an overtime and they were missing him in overtime two. Yes,
I was beside myself, going, I can choose twenty five
or forty two?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Could we though? And then bad passes too, go ahead
three pointers? Yes, bad shot shot.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
I forget sometimes that these kids are seventeen eighties, you know,
and then you see these free throw seventeen Kevin, but yeah, okay, eighteen,
nineteen twenty maybe twenty one, right, and you're like, you
know what, Yeah, that's pretty tough on that stage, Like
that's tough.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Well, some of those dudes don't look twenty one.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
They don't. And that's what's confusing, is that like a
Jeni Brew from Auburn, Right, Yeah, man, I won't talk
about Auburn losing yet, but I'll talk about how we
would be with him working out with him and he
is a seven foot tall dude. Yeah, man, Like it's
like you just worship this person who could crush you.

(04:56):
But then when he talks like, yes, sir he's a kid.
Yeah yeah, and you remember, oh yeah, inside of this
humongous frame, this athlete, there's still a kid in there,
and they're affected by a lot of different things. But
I couldn't believe they miss so many free twenty nine.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
Of forty five.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
That's a terrible man has so many crazy it's what
lost in the game. Yeah, all right, next up?

Speaker 4 (05:15):
All right, After losing to Oakland in the first round,
do you think Kentucky needs to move on from Cali Perry?

Speaker 2 (05:21):
No, I don't unless they have somebody ready to go.
The worst thing they could do is go, We're going
to buy them out for thirty three million bucks. Remember
we signed that lifetime contract, which is basically, if they
want them out, they got to pay a humongous buyout,
which is thirty three million dollars. Hey, they've sucked. You
talk about a Purdue type situation. They're one of four
in their past five and CAA tournament games. It's been bad.

(05:43):
He's had great recruiting classes every year. It's been this
is the best recruiting class if he's going to do it.
But the one and done is starting to not be
near as effective because kids are staying a little longer
because they can make an I own money. Therefore, that's
why Oakland be them. They had twenty eight year olds.
They had a thirty five year old worked at the
bar playing on the Oakland team. You know those are men.
I mean they literally up against twenty.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
Four year olds.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
And so Harball did this at Michigan where he restructured
his contract when it wasn't going well for him. He
had a massive buyout and I think they probably wanted
to move on from Harball. But what he did is
he restructured it and said, Okay, we'll take the buyout
down to I'll just give a number five bucks and
give me another two years. And they did, and then
he won. I think they could do that with Calipari,
give him another year or two, but only on the

(06:29):
agreement that they would take his thirty three million dollar
buyout down. Otherwise you're gonna pay that, then go pay
a new coach, and then who're gonna get to come coach.
I'm sure the possibilities are endless, but the possibilities they
would want maybe two or.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
Three people, and are they going to get them?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Probably not unless they're offering another fifteen million dollars it
doesn't seem like right now is the time. I think
you give them another year or two, one more, at
least one more if he restructure, you just want to
pay thirty three million dollars. That's the money, that's real money,
right next up.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
All right, after being the first team to clinch a
playoff spot, are you taking the Celtics or the field?
If they started today?

Speaker 2 (07:08):
I would still take the field. I still think that
Denver wins it again. Jokicch is the greatest because he's
not the best. I don't think he's the best at anything.
He's not the best post player, he's not the greatest passer,
he's not the best shooter. Jokicchen, though, is like so
top three in every skill for a guy that looks

(07:31):
like he should be playing reckball, that he can take
a game and turn it into whatever he needs it
to be, depending on who they're playing. There are certain
games second half he won't take any shots. He'll like
no shots because he knows he doesn't need to, because
he just wants to win, and we've seen they can
do it, Yo, Kitchen. Denver is still to me, the dude.
The thing about Boston that scares me honestly is you know,

(07:55):
Tatum be fine, not really an injury history to worry about,
but you know who's got injury.

Speaker 5 (07:59):
History or.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
Every time he goes up for a rebound.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
I would.

Speaker 2 (08:06):
And if porzingis is healthy, god, they're awesome. But when
he's not and he's not a lot, they are still
they're really good. I still would go Denver.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
So not even the field, just Denver.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Well, they're part of the field. I would take the field.
Do you ask me Field? I still think Denver's my pick,
but Denver they would have to play Denver till the
very end, you know, in the finals if so.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
But on the East, like if they played the Heat again, I.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
Mean the Heat. I think the Heat stronger this year
they were last year, but I still think that I
think they're better than the Heat.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Who would Kevin take?

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Come on, well, he's asking from a biased.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
Perspective, what the Heat is the only team I don't
want to play because the Heat, for whatever reason, beat
every team that should beat them hypothetically.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
So I guess the only thing that would concern me
a bit one They're up so far that what are
they eleven games or whatever? The eleven games up? Yeah,
you cannot play Porzingis as much. That doesn't matter if
you're playing one minute, he can get hurt.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
Of that one minute.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
But the problem then becomes and you see this a
lot in baseball, not in football, because it's a one
game situation where rust really does if you want to
be primed.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
At the right time, yeah, I wish they started today.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Yeah, like you want to be primed. You want to
be really playing your best ball when the playoffs start,
and if you're up ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty games, you've
kind of.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Pulled back a little bit.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
And then it's that coaches decision, because this happens a
bit too within the NFL if a team doesn't have
to play their final week or two games, right, and
then it's like, is it rest or? Is it a rust?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh? Do you just make that?

Speaker 2 (09:41):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:41):
No, I didn't make that up, But that's what that takes.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
It sounds good rest or rust, and I think Boston's
gonna have to deal with that, But with their injury history,
I think they're the team you'd want to have to
get the option to rest. But I still overall, I
would take the field, and I would take Denver all
right next to NFL.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
Here with the Titans trading for Lagarious Need over the weekend,
are they quietly having one of the best off seasons?

Speaker 2 (10:02):
Hey? Pretty cool, just from locally speaking, the fact that
they got Calvin Ridley, the fact and let's go DraftKings.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Calvin Ridley, you just set up.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Buddy promo code, let's talk, let's go Tony Pollard. Yeah,
that's fun if you're a Cowboys fan. Yeah, it's cool
to happen right down the road. Lugerius Need. They traded
him for what the third rounder? I guess I can't say.
He probably just needed a little bit of relief financially
because he's really good. Really to try for just the

(10:37):
third rounder and no other contract.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Who's their coach?

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Who?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
The Titans?

Speaker 2 (10:41):
The Bengals, Right, that's who came down, right he? I mean,
he's so.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
Like they've made so many moves. I forgot about that one,
you know, I remember.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
From flying in having the press conference, but he was
so like not a big personality that I just remember
it was the Bengals OC.

Speaker 6 (10:55):
Oh, yeah, Brian Callahan, there you go. Looks like he's
twelve they added. Just looking at other teams that have
had good off seasons. The Bears added Keenan Allen, which
was surprising but cool.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
I mean they're sitting Kayleb Williams up.

Speaker 3 (11:11):
Yeah, I know, Justin Field is like, what the heck?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Guys the Falcons out of Kirk Cousins, which is cool,
and they have all those weapons.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
And then the Jets, because Aaron Rodgers demanded has that,
they've had a three offensive linemen and he needs them.
So that'll be an interesting watch to see if the
Jets do anything this year. I did win an Aaron
Rodgers signed helmet Jets.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Jets.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, I've really stopped. I say stopped. Read Gummy back.
I stopped for a while, stop for like a week
and reads like, hey man, let's do a break.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
What are you hanging out? Read You're gonna stop being
that bad influencer.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Big time bad influence influence too?

Speaker 1 (11:48):
What did I do?

Speaker 7 (11:48):
You left your laptop the airport?

Speaker 2 (11:51):
That's true because we're just sitting in the car. I
didn't mean like what am I gonna do or send
in the car for two hours? And so I'm like, yes,
want to do a break, And next thing you know,
I'm all for eighteen hour.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Sounds like the atticts make an excuse.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
But had you not lost your life?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
You love me in the court for two hours, Man,
I had to do it. I get one helmet. I
should coming today.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
It's pretty cool that the Jets Aaron Rodgers helmet.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Is it like the typical Jets helmet or is it
weird like some of the other ones.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
It's authentic, that's why it's cool. Like this, that one
is awesome. So this is the cream Sickle. It's a
Rendez barber display replica helmet. The difference is you can't
wear this and run into somebody.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Yeah, it'll hurt, it'll hurt.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah. So like this one goes for like four hundred
bucks a line. If it were authentic, probably seven hundred
because I guess you could wipe the play.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
I don't know. It's so funny to see that logo
of just reminds me of the terrible Tampa Bay Buccaneer years.
And then you know the original New England Patriots logo.
It just reminds me of just terrible years.

Speaker 3 (12:56):
But man, that logo is sweet.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
It is cool looking.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
That one's cool too.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
I hated it when it was their logo. Once it
went away and it was the retro. Now I love
it again. The past, I mean, the Buccaneer Bucks, the Patriots.
I hated the Patriots old logo too. Oh I like
that logo until it went away and then it came back.
Maybe it's because they were terrible.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Yeah, they were. They weren't a threat ever, so it's like,
that's cute. I like that.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Yeah, o dorm dudes got me. Man. We took them
with us to our private show the second time on Friday.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Yeah, it was awesome.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
It's awesome. They're the best. They're they're awesome, and they're
literally college, Like zach'son college and he's like an expert
in memorabilia and he's created this business which is more
than just a TikTok page. It's he is so dialed
into that and I have no idea. I didn't know him.
I just came across the page and then I was like, hey,
come down, I got some questions. You know, I'm launching

(13:50):
I'm not launching anything. We're launching our eBay page. I
guess to sell a lot of this stuff back and
then any profit we get, we're gonna split with Saint Jude.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
And so.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
They came with us and I can probably call him
right he's he just texted me right.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Now are they streaming?

Speaker 2 (14:10):
Hey, we're uh, we're recording the podcast right this second.
So don't say anything that we get you put in jail,
all right.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
I don't want to go to jail.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
What did you think about the trip we went on
on Friday?

Speaker 7 (14:20):
I thought the trip was awesome.

Speaker 5 (14:22):
It was a trip of a lifetime.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
I wouldn't go that far. But he's got a young
life though, he's got he's like those kids on the
idol and they would say, i'veen waiting my whole life
for this, and I'm like, you're fourteen. But so we
went down and they, you know, watched the show and
I told them I had stopped basically doing breaks, and
then we were waiting on Eddie. Eddie lost his computer
at the airport and I kind of got back in
the game. But I've yet to hit a Tom Brady,

(14:45):
and so I'm back. I'm back on track. I'm trying
to get that bread.

Speaker 3 (14:48):
Until you get that Brady.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
I don't know if until because man, that's been a
lot of money chasing that Brady.

Speaker 1 (14:53):
Con that feeling again, Dude.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
I don't I don't even need it. I could have
bought eight Brady helmets at this point do it, but
I haven't. But yeah, No, we were talking about dorm
dudes and how you've really built something super cool there
and uh, you know, just you guys are except for
your buddy, you know, you take or leave him. But
other than I'm just kidding. I'm just kidding. I'm totally kidding.
But yeah, that's always wanted to see how what you

(15:16):
thought about the trip on on sat Friday night.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
Oh yeah, it was an awesome time and and Shane
and I loved get to see the show as well.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
I mean, uh, that was.

Speaker 1 (15:25):
Something I didn't even know you did.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
To be honest, I didn't know you did stand up.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
It was really funny a week and we loved it.
So you laughing, it's just money. You didn't know that
that's what you did.

Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, Shaney was that athlete, Shane the kicker. Yeah, the
guy you just quit. Yeah football crazy. Look at these
guys and.

Speaker 3 (15:40):
Then and then he wants to quit school too.

Speaker 2 (15:42):
Yeah. Now they're like, we want we're killing it all right, Zach.
We'll let you get back to work, which I'm gonna
We're gonna check in with Zach later this week because
I hit him up about a certain product. I was like,
what's this thing about? And so he's gonna come on,
and he is a memorabilia expert, so I was like,
give me the like the lowdown on this before I
invest my mind in it. But I've never heard of it.

(16:02):
I've never heard of this thing even existing until now.
And I need to stop putting my money in memorabilia
or I need to put all of it in it
and just commit one of them too. Yes, all right,
Zach talked to you later, dude.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
All right, I appreciate the kill off. I see, buddy. Yeah,
good kids.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Do you want to know what the thing is? So
it's called what that's what I do. It's called a
TOPS transcendent and they don't come out. They come out
later this week. One box is twenty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
What a pack of cards? A box of cards?

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, oh boy. And I asked Zach to me the
details on it, because he doesn't do this, he's not
breaking these. He just as his passion. He works with
a lot of people inside the memorabilia business, distributors, et cetera.
And so the reason I saw is because in the
news that talked about how these Top Transcended had a
One of the cards was the Beatles, all for of

(16:51):
them autographed. They took four different autographs into the Beatles
cards worth a whole bunch. But they have people over
the years like Nelson Mandela, they have Aaron Burr, or
they have Alexander Hamilton. Really yes, and so I want
to talk to him about it, maybe on Friday's show.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
There'sday Friday Show.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
You want?

Speaker 7 (17:13):
You want to buy it?

Speaker 2 (17:14):
I do?

Speaker 7 (17:14):
I know, yeah, I do want it.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
Pretty wild in me this world that unless you're in it,
you just don't have it.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
You don't even think about it.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
That's why I'm so intrigued by it in general.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
Why did you find out about this?

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I follow an account and have for years that's a
memorabilia account.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
And they just started talking about it and they were like.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
The new set of Tops Transcendents coming out for twenty
twenty three, and like every.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Card is signed. Every Okay, are you reading about it?
I'm looking at some of this historic autograph box.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
In every box there's a historic autograph as well.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Okay, that's interesting, Yeah, historic autograph.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
But it's like the biggest ball players all signed cards,
and I think some of them, you know, there are
cards and they're worth way more than twenty thousand dollars,
but some of them there aren't. But Tops Trends sendence sets.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Wow, man, if I got.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
One of those, we'd break it here on the show.
Here's a twenty twenty two Tops Transcendent Collection baseball box.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Yeah, that's that's what that's what I saw for how
much of a twenty twenty two five hundred and five
to fifty? That's all right, I don't know. That's the
other one coming out twenty it's twenty thousand. Yeah, this
is five point fifty. Gonna buy it? No, buy now
for five point fifty?

Speaker 2 (18:26):
No, no, no, but twenty twenty three.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
So when you say autographs like Aaron Burr signed.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
The thing, they'd found that they took an Aaron burn signature,
Aaron Burr signature from something and put it in a card.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
His real signatures on that card. Yeah, that is unheard of.
I've never heard of such a thing. That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (18:43):
I'm trying to find twenty twenty three Times Transcendent, trying
to find that. He'll gets all the details later, but yeah,
that's it. You want to hear a little bit about it.
Here we go twenty gold framed autographs. The twenty twenty
three is are rook showcase autographs, patch autographs. I'm trying

(19:04):
to relic books, la la la, there are Okay, here's
the one about the Beatles. Every box also has a
cut signature. There are dual and quad cut signatures, including
with all four members of the Beatles that are larger.
Do you see the picture. It's like all of them.
And then there are four autographs.

frame cut signature nineteen thousand dollars.

Do you wonder what the word is?

Speaker 5 (21:41):

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Let's have it one?

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Five Thomas Edison hand written words.

Speaker 1 (22:11):
I'm an idiot.

Speaker 10 (22:12):
I have.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
I take it out, I play with it just written. Okay,
that's cool. That's a tittle tittle close out out there,
you go the tittle town up. I can't believe I
just bought a handwritten word from George Washington.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Yeah, we can't either. You can't. I can't believe that.
That's crazy.

Speaker 2 (22:35):

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Okay, I got a couple of things here.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
Are baking a cake bracket. Mike had Texas Texas one,
Kevin had Arizona Arizona one, Eddie had Marquette Marquette one.
Now I had Kentucky. They lost ours round. I was like, well,
I'm baking a cake for everybody. Yep, thank god. Auburn
lost Reed's team, so we both lost. And what I
said was we would do something in order to have

(23:53):
a tie breaker, So like what sports trivia? I don't know.
I really can't make the game because I'm in it right,
So that or read, we could just do you bake
one of us, make two of them at cake one.

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Bake one.

Speaker 5 (24:09):
Nah.

Speaker 1 (24:10):
Now it's funny if one person is to make four cakes.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
I agree, but I am not in the game. So
what I'll do is, well, whatever it is, I'll Mike
is the executive producer of this show. I'll let Mike
come up with whatever it is. We will do it
on the show later this week. Let's do it, and
then the loser WI have to bake all the cakes?

Speaker 7 (24:31):
All right, can you bake?

Speaker 5 (24:34):
Read?

Speaker 8 (24:35):
No, it's it's gonna be a horrible cake. I'm telling
you right now, four cakes.

Speaker 2 (24:40):
Four You should really try, though, Oh I will, Yeah,
you'll do your best.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
I will.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
The Patriots are still open to the number three pick.
How does that make you feel, Kevin, because I would
be annoyed by.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
That for trading it.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Yeah, so open to anybody. Come in, you want it,
come get it.

Speaker 7 (24:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (24:53):
I think it's a mind game for them putting it
out publicly, just letting everybody know, Hey, if you got enough,
then come get it.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
But if not, we're gonna stick here.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
I wouldn't even want them to be like, come and
get it.

Speaker 4 (25:03):
Yeah, but they need so much. Unless it's Caleb Williams,
I'm open to it.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Who's gonna play quarterback for them? Jacobette, Kobe my guy
to Kobe, then you're not trying to win next time.

Speaker 4 (25:17):
No, no, no matter what, We're not trying to win
next year. Even if we drafted Caleb Williams, we still
have Kendrick Bourne has a number one receiver, Hunter Henry
you know, is a tight end. Yeah, I know, like
a real exactly, That's what I'm saying. So it's just
like we need so much. If we trade it down,
if we can get two first rounders, yeah, if we
can get it, for sure, get two first rounders. If

(25:37):
we can get like a Marvin Harrison junior or a Neighbors,
and whether it's a left tackle or quarterback.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
You're trading down to one spot maybe because that Marvin
Harrison just gonna go four, Yeah, Arizona. So if you
trade down to four, that one, they're trading up for
one spot and you didn't really want to court. I
don't think you really get them, Mark. I don't really
think you have the option to get a Marvin Harrison
junior if you trade that three.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
Even well, Neighbors everyone saying he might even higher now
or yeah, Roman do today, he's just too the offensive linement,
it's really deep.

Speaker 1 (26:06):
Yeah, lots of tackles, lots of them.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
There them. There are like twelve tackles in this draft
that could go before the fourth round or so.

Speaker 4 (26:12):
So if you can get like say, wide receiver and
a left tackle, second round draft, Phoenix Penix something.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Like Phoenix, not Poenix, something like that, you just say,
like to say, like a penis. I'm just say.

Speaker 4 (26:24):
I'm just saying, and see what happens, enroll with Ja
Kobe and have a young guy. But I do if
they drafted a quarterback, I'd be happy with that too.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
It's just not exciting if your team doesn't have a
quarterback that they that they there's hope tied too.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
But how are the team like, how does the team
feel just going into a season being like, well, we're
not gonna win this one, but yeah, all right, we
got seventeen weeks ahead of us, let's go.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
I think they're just trying to get their money. And
you perform tough man and bro, you know, you get
your analysis and get a bigger contract. So what's up?

Speaker 1 (26:53):
They never see Little Giants or whatever that movie is, Like,
there's always a chance I probably did.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
I just don't want a quarterback to go in there
and failed in two years and then his whole career.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
I hear what you're saying. I think it's a fan
base though. It's like you want to have some great
hope because Mac Jones was that great hope for a while. Yeah,
and then once it was there's just no real reason
to You're just hoping they invest properly for the future.
How boring is that for a one k?

Speaker 4 (27:22):
Right?

Speaker 2 (27:22):
You want your freaking favorite team to be a mutual fund? Okay, okay,
there's that. What else, Otani? The betting things getting a
little weirder.

Speaker 1 (27:34):
Yeah, it started weird.

Speaker 9 (27:36):
I'm telling him, it did start weird where it's like
out of your bank translator needed, Like, I'm just telling
you bones that if you needed money to gamble, I
would give you money to gamble.

Speaker 1 (27:49):
I wouldn't pay the gambling.

Speaker 2 (27:51):
I'm not even fighting, but yes, I agree.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
I wouldn't pay the gambling straight from my pocket and
be like, oh, it's for Bobby.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
And some of those stories about where the line was
was like over under seven and Tani was pitching and
there was a bookie from his hometown that had set
the had bet a million.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
It just seemed not a good look, but but hey,
shout out to the interpreter, though, like taking one for
the team if this is the case.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Not a hard one to take if you're offer millions
of dollars. I'm involved for ten million dollars. Yeah, I
did it all. It was all me, nobody else but me.
That this thing will probably get uglier before it gets better.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
And this season is just beginning.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah, yeah, he's not going to pitch it all this
year because of a surgery. He's only going to play
outfield or that's it.

Speaker 1 (28:42):
Oh but he's gonna play.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah, yeah, but he's not gonna.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Pitch at all.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
Like, no, none. The l s U women's basketball coach
threaten the lawsuit against the Washington.

Speaker 7 (28:49):
Was very strange.

Speaker 2 (28:50):
It was weird. She was like, this guy's been hounding me.
But then he said questions to me. Had to answer him,
but he's been asking me. She's weird and she didn't
read the article.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
It's just not out.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
The article's not out.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
Right, so why what are you out yet? She's wild.
She's not likable at all. She's not likable at all.
I like how she dresses, though.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
No you don't. You just like that you can tell
who she is when she's on the court. Yeah, Yeah,
she's not likable at all. LSU women's head basketball coach
is accusing The Washington Post of pursuing a hit piece
about her for two years. Said she received the deadline
to answer questions, which was just before tip off of
a tournament game last week. So I guess we're the
bit of a contradictory statement there is they've been pursuing

(29:29):
a piece about her for the last two years, and
they've requested many times to talk with her, which she hasn't,
at least from what I read, said yes to. So
there's always been an article in the works and they're like,
we're going ahead with it, and she's like, well, they
gave me no time to answer questions. It sounds like
they gave me two years to answer questions, but a

(29:52):
personal editorial no factual information at all here. She just
seems shady. You don't wear clothes like that. You high,
you're hiding something the feathers, You're hiding something deep down
that you're taking all the attention away from that by
going look at how crazy I address. I see anything
else that I want to mention before we get over,

(30:14):
I'm gonna talk about draft Kings. But then we'll come
back and we will our interview. It's gonna be awesome.
I think you're really gonna enjoy it, especially if you
love MMA. But for me, I don't know a whole
lot about MMA. But even I thought it was super cool.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
It was really cool.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
The thrilling excitement of the tournament is here.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Who's gonna want it all? I'll still go Arizona, but
I don't know just because I have them.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
My full future is on Yukon that I bet before
the season started, so that would be good. But I mean, man,
looks real good. I do, and I'm just being lured
into the Purdue trail. I'm being lowered.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
I'm not falling that one.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
I wanted to pick Tennessee and the Old the old
game we played, and I walked off of it because
I wanted to be a good guy Kentucky.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
Whatever reed would have been making the cake on.

How do you want to set the interview up? Uh? Yeah, man,
Michael Chandler, this dude is a bad a like. This
dude is awesome. He's been only been in the UFC

Speaker 5 (32:20):
I gave all that I know here.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
He is Michael Chandler.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Hey, so I saw on your Instagram the hats and
you're raising money for the victims of the Covenant shooting.
Why is that important to you? And you have one
of the hats here too? I do this is this.

Speaker 5 (32:34):
Is for you?

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Oh thanks, I appreciate that. Of course, this is what
I saw when you posted it. So tell me about this,
why it's important to you, and how you got involved
in this.

Speaker 10 (32:42):
So I went to the benefit concert that was last year.
Morgan Wallen donated his time and Jason Alden need to
Breathe and I was there and I got to introduce
Morgan and was able to say a couple of words,
and they gave me a hat that said Covenant on it.
And I have a great relationship with Melon Hats, in
my opinion, the best hats on the.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
Plane and Beanies. They do awesome beanies too.

Speaker 10 (33:03):
Yeah, and they just came out with some really cool
winter hats. They got a bunch of different ones, the
best hat company on the planet. And I said, hey, guys,
there's something bigger here. You know, I'm wearing this hat.
I felt like I was one of the only ones
who had this kind of best kept secret of if
you remember back to that time and the way Nashville
has stood up for each other and stood by each other,

(33:23):
it really is special. And you see signs all over town,
and I thought, hey, there's there's something.

Speaker 5 (33:28):
Bigger that we can do here. So now we you know,
we launched a.

Speaker 10 (33:31):
Website, Covenant Hats dot com, and now they're for sale
on Melon dot com as well, and all the proceeds
go toward the Covenant Fund, which is for ongoing resource
for those affected by the tragedy.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
We'll also put this in the notes to the show
too on the podcast, so I have to just scroll
down to the notes and we'll have the link so
people can can definitely find the hats. It's you know what,
they make great hats. Yeah yeah, so yeah, that's awesome
that that you do. That Why nash Why do you
love in Nashville?

Speaker 5 (33:56):
You know, it's uh.

Speaker 10 (33:58):
I can't describe it in the other way than it
was just a god thing, you know. We were I
wanted to I had this big dream of starting a gym.
I did start a gym here called Training Camp. We
have since merged with Nashville MMA, the longest standing MMA
gym in town. I was training in California, living in California,
but then I switched teams and started training in Florida
with a team.

Speaker 5 (34:17):
My wife was working in the.

Speaker 10 (34:19):
Er in California, so over an eight week period there
was no way we're gonna be able to see each other.
So we knew we wanted to move back closer to
the Midwest South where we were from. She's from Missouri,
I'm from Missouri, and we had some friends here, had
gone to a couple of award shows and just loved
the city. Every single conversation we ever had with the locals,
it just seemed like such a great place to raise
a family. And now eight years in we have two

(34:40):
boys and we are living the dream here in Nashville.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Eight years was about when I started to feel like
this was home. Yeah, it took a while. Yeah, it's
always like Austin, Austin, I'm from Arkansas. But then like
seven eight years it'd be like what home started to
feel like Nashville. Yeah, how long for you until this
started to feel like like like were you just.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
Kind of it's kind of relax.

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (35:00):
Honestly, for me it was it was pretty quick because
I had been I started my career, started fighting fifteen
years ago. I moved to Las Vegas, lived in Las Vegas,
never felt like home. Lived in San Diego after that
for a couple of years, never really felt like home
being from Missouri. And as soon as we moved back
here after we you know, we built a house and
we really started hanging out with more friends, getting involved
in the community.

Speaker 5 (35:20):
For me, it was it was honestly.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
The first two years really I was.

Speaker 10 (35:22):
I was I was like, hey, this is where we
planted our roots. You know, my family chose Saint Louis
for us, or that's where I was born, but this
is this, this is the city that I chose, and
me and my wife are planting roots here and we'll
be here for the long haul.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
We have a mutual friend, a very close mutual friend,
the Smiers, Abbey Smers I called.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
I was talking with her yesterday.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
I said, hey, I don't know Michael Chandler, but I
know you friends with him and his wife. And she
was like, he's really smart. That was that was what
she was. She was like, don't think he's like an
athlete coming in and you got.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
To be like, yeah, I mean, no offense, but I
wouldn't think he's smart like UFC fighters. I just feel like, man,
you're like you what you do? You got to be
a little not right in that.

Speaker 10 (36:01):
Yeah, I mean, yeah, I punch people in the face,
get punched in the face for aving. But yeah, I
know honestly, I always, I always I like hand to
hand combat, wrestling for fifteen years and now fighting. You know,
I've been doing hand to hand combat longer than I
have not been doing hand to hand combat.

Speaker 5 (36:19):
It's what I was built for, what I was created for.

Speaker 10 (36:22):
But you know, I love business outside of fighting, my
father and a husband and all these different things, and
fighting is just my shiny object that gets.

Speaker 5 (36:29):
People to look and say, hey, look at what's that
guy doing?

Speaker 10 (36:32):
Yeah, and they can kind of peel back the layers,
you know, and then you got people like Abby saying
I'm smart.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
I just take it so cool that the first thing
she said about you, she was like, hey, well she
said she loves you and your wife, and she was like,
he's really smart. Meaning we do a lot of you know,
we have a pretty massive sports show, and we talked
to a lot of athletes and a lot of them
aren't known because they didn't have to focus on their
intelligence like they'd been an athlete and they've been celebrated
as an athlete, so why would they go and work
hard in other areas? But she just talked about, you know,

(36:58):
really the kind of person that you were. Obviously you're
putting your heart and your effort into these hats and
way more than that here in this town. Also, are
you going to train? Do you leave to train pretty soon?

Speaker 10 (37:09):
Actually, this is my last week in Nashville before I
had to head to Florida. So my team is down
in Florida, South Florida, Deerfield Beach and all of April,
May and June. I'll be down there getting.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
After it is it to remove all home distractions. Is
that why you or could you train here? Well?

Speaker 10 (37:24):
I could train here, and I do train a little
bit here with my team here in Nashville in May,
but no, it just kind of worked out like that.

Speaker 5 (37:31):
My wife is a career woman.

Speaker 10 (37:32):
She loves she loves working. She's in Memphis, Tennessee right
now training. She's a national trainer for Allergan. So she
loves what she does. And rule number one is don't
take away anything from her, right you know. So, happy wife,
happy life, and she loves what she does. So we
never really felt called to move to Florida and live
in Florida. We wanted to plant our roots here and

(37:52):
it is. There's definitely some some pros and cons of it.
It is zero distractions. I am like a caveman spartan,
you know, go to the gym, to the grocery store,
go to bodywork, go to back to the gym. Just
kind of this little quick triangle. I do Groundhog's Day
every day, no distractions. I miss the heck out of
my son's My youngest is now two years old, so
this is gonna be the first time that Daddy's gonna

(38:13):
be gone and he's really gonna probably it's probably gonna
affect him a little bit. And it's the conundrum of
a man, right just knowing you're doing what you're called
to do, but also knowing that it's painful, or you
knowing that it's it's a sacrifice and it's but luckily
it's for a short period of time.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Friends that have played or play in the NBA, and
they talk about their version of their camp and the
off season. They'll do like skills training in the morning,
they'll get up a bunch of shots at night, a
bit of the same thing that there's like a twelve hour,
fourteen hour commitment to them getting better because they're not
playing games, they're preparing for the season to come.

Speaker 1 (38:46):
Is it a bit like that when you're at camp?

Speaker 2 (38:47):
Are you focusing on training for a specific fight one
part of the day, second part of the day you're
just trying to get better physically, as in like cardio
or lyfting? Like, how does camp work? It's different than
just here, Yeah, so it's more just the time.

Speaker 10 (39:01):
There's there's that changing of the guard where it's I'm
out out of training camp and then I go into
one hundred percent sole focus everything I eat, how I
sleep how I train. But yeah, it's two workouts, maybe
three workouts a day, two or three days a week
just to get the extra cardio. And most of the
time I'm cutting a lot of weight, you know, I'm
wake it weigh in one eighty five, one ninety getting
down to one fifty five fight. Yeah, so it's that's

(39:22):
the that's the worst part about mixed martial arts. So
this fight will hopefully be at one seventy or one
eighty five. But yeah, it's it's training twice a day,
all team a team training in the morning where you're
with all of our different guys. We got thirty to
fifty guys in a in a training room at one time,
five or six coaches, and then at night it's more
one on one skills training that we do. And then

(39:44):
middle of the day, I got my little garage down
to my house in Pompino's, got a bike and bike
in there, and it's like ninety five degrees and I
just get after it for forty five minutes, me with.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
My own thoughts.

Speaker 2 (39:53):
So hot cycling, yeah, I mean it's hot anything, it's.

Speaker 10 (39:57):
Just hot, biproper or it's hot because of where we live,
where I am down in Florida.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
It's just a geez hot little uh, and I have
my song.

Speaker 10 (40:04):
I'll usually crank my sawn up to one open the
door and then it gets even hotter in there.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
Another sports analogy so that I can understand it.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
If let's say you playing a quarterback, who is a
running quarterback? You on the when you practice squad, you
have a guy trying to emulate that quarterback. When you're
training for a fight, do you ever have anyone study
or do you find a fighter that fights like who
you're about to fight so you can somewhat get yourself
in the mode for that kind of whatever, you know,
whatever it is.

Speaker 10 (40:30):
Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what it is. You know,
fighting Connor McGregor. He's a South Paul. He's got kind
of that wide bouncing back and forth karate stance traditionally,
so we'll find guys who can kind of emulate that.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Definitely all South pause.

Speaker 10 (40:43):
But for the most part, I you know, I honestly
spend about eighty five to ninety percent of my time
focusing on me. What can I do to better myself,
to put myself in the best situation possible, to be
the most dangerous on fight night, and then there's ten
percent or so where we're really looking for certain tendencies, idiosyncrasies,
little habits that he has and openings that we see

(41:04):
and certain things to look out for, but not too much,
because then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy of Okay,
make sure this doesn't happen, and then lo and behold
it will end up happening.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
So do you have a self scout yourself.

Speaker 10 (41:15):
Yeah, I'm my own worst critic. But as I've gotten
older and longer in the tooth and the sport, I've
also shown myself a lot more grace.

Speaker 5 (41:23):
You know.

Speaker 10 (41:24):
I never thought I would be in the position that
I'm in top five in the world fighting Connor the
Ultimate Fighter this past summer, you know.

Speaker 5 (41:30):
So it's obviously working out for me.

Speaker 10 (41:33):
And anything can be accomplished with a window of opportunity
and extreme discipline. And as long as I do things
right and I'm right where I need to be on
fight night, the winds and losses will take care of themselves.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
It's kind of how I always look at it.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
And the weird business that I'm in, just in the
different parts of media, I will and I have paid
people before to tell me how they would beat me. Yeah,
I will pay somebody to go. I need you to
listen to everything that I'm doing. If you were launching
something up against me, I need you just to tell
me how you would take me down. Find the places
where I'm vulnerable. I'm going to pay you to find
my vulnerabilities. Does your team know what maybe your strengths

(42:12):
aren't and then try to lift those within you by going,
let's listen from me whatever it is, and keep challenging
you on that.

Speaker 10 (42:20):
Yeah, there's definitely a couple areas, and each fight is different.
You know, last fight, I thought another great striker, but
he was in another South Paul fight before that, it
was an orthodox guy, more of a wrestler. So yeah,
there's little areas where we look at it and say, hey,
these are the one or two areas that we need
to get you better at. Things you need to be
thinking about for the next twelve weeks. But nothing breeds

(42:42):
success like success and focusing on my positive attributes, the
things that I do well, the attributes that I do
bring to the cage that are usually successful. We focus
a lot on that as well. But there are little
things that I know I need to work on little
little areas where I know I can get better or
where I'm deficient at, and we'll work on that for

(43:02):
the next twelve weeks.

Speaker 2 (43:03):
I've never been punching the face, so I tried not
to be punching the face. I don't want to ever
be punched in the face. I mean, that's kind of
a goal of mine in life. When did it start
to not hurt as bad?

Speaker 5 (43:14):
Honestly, unfortunately, it never hurts.

Speaker 10 (43:17):
I've only felt pain once or twice in the actual octagon.
I threw a kick and kicked a guy in the
hip and it really kind of bent up my bones
and tenons and stuff in my foot. That was the
only time I actually felt pain in a fight, unfortunately.

Speaker 5 (43:32):
Adrenaline is a heck of a drug.

Speaker 2 (43:33):
Man.

Speaker 10 (43:33):
You know, you're out there and as soon as that
adrenaline starts flowing, you feel the impact, but you don't
feel any pain. You know, you might even hear that
kind of it makes like a oof. It makes a
little noise when your skin breaks open and you and
you feel, okay, that's not sweat, that's obviously, but or
you you know, start getting blood in your eye, but yeah, unfortunately,
I wish it did hurt a little bit, because then

(43:54):
maybe I would be a little bit more apprehensive and
not have my foot on the gas at all times,
leading with my face.

Speaker 5 (43:59):
But I do, and yeah, I don't. I enjoy it if.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
You get pistol whipped once and I didn't feel that
because I think the adrenaline because I had a gun
to my head, and so when they pistolhip, I didn't
feel it. So I guess maybe this I wasn't trying
to win a match. I just wanted to get out
of there. But until later, and then it was like,
oh god, yeah, So I'm imagining after a fight, it
does it set in. Maybe you didn't feel it then,
but now you're feeling all the little spots where.

Speaker 1 (44:21):
You get hit or kicked.

Speaker 10 (44:21):
One thousand percent, that's exactly what happens. You know, the
you get your hand raised or you don't. You do
the post fight speech, the post fight conference, you know,
that's it's it's about five ten minutes after you get
out of the octagon. You start walking and you start
limping a little bit, start feeling all the different areas
go you know, pee blood, maybe you know that's happening
to me.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
A couple of times.

Speaker 10 (44:40):
That's when the face even continues to swell, swell, swell,
because I've had twenty five minute fights. I've had twenty
five second fights, you know, I've had very quick fights.
But you're in there, especially for fifteen to twenty five
minutes that the swelling doesn't quite take hold until you
get out and you know, a couple a couple of
minutes later, and then you start feeling.

Speaker 2 (44:59):
Where do you like to be only emotionally right before
a fight?

Speaker 1 (45:02):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (45:02):
Do you want to be extremely hyped or do you
want to get hyped but then get calm? So you're
thinking it with the extreme extremely rational.

Speaker 10 (45:10):
It's a great question, actually, I you know, it sounds crazy.
You know, we're talking about this tough guy who fights
in a cage. But the best place that I can
possibly be right before I go out there is tears
in my eyes, almost completely completely overwhelmed with gratitude for
the position that I'm in, the platform, I have my wife,
my son's and.

Speaker 5 (45:31):
Just this this feeling of.

Speaker 10 (45:33):
Overwhelming joy, right and then you then you walk out,
then you can start to get into the zone a
little bit, you know, you you you shake hands with
that gratitude and then you walk out there and then uh,
then the cage door closes, and then then the fight
really starts whenever you kind of take that that first exchange,
whether you get your hands on him, he gets his
hands on you, he punches you, you get punched, or

(45:56):
you punch him, and then then it's kind of then
it kind of goes into reactionary responding of your training
taken over. But I know there's been a couple different
times in my life where whether it's a song I'm
listening to or whether it's the visualization that I'm doing,
where there's this overwhelming sense of gratitude because this is
what I'm doing is so much bigger than just the
x's and o's in my opinion. And when I'm knowing

(46:19):
what I'm called to do and I'm doing what I'm
called to do, and I know who I am and
whose I am and why I do it, that's when
that's when a man could.

Speaker 5 (46:27):
Be really really powerful.

Speaker 2 (46:29):
Yeah, I feel like the two kinds of people I
know that perform like you do, which you build up
and then it's time to go. It's either people that
are so at peace with themselves or they freaking want
to rip somebody's head off. But there's not a lot
in the middle. It's one of the two. Are you
ever is the anger ever real going into a match

(46:49):
though where somebody's because again there's a lot of theatrics involved.
But is it ever real where it's kind of hard
to get yourself at peace because they've maybe gone over
the line.

Speaker 10 (46:58):
Yeah, there actually has been in my career that that
has happened, and I have not enjoyed it, and I
have not performed to the best of my abilities. It's
there's going to be a build up. I mean, obviously
you talk about Connor McGregor. He is the best, the
best promoter, the best on the microphone, better than me.
I'm willing to admit that, right so, I know I'm
going into hostile enemy territory when there's a microphone, a

(47:18):
press conference, in all these different war of words. But
you kind of just compartmentalize that and say, this is
us talking on a microphone right now. As soon as
it's over, it's over, I go back to training or
go back to whatever we got to do, because it
has hindered me in the past, and I haven't enjoyed it,
and I haven't fought within myself because I truly you know,
it sounds crazy because if you watch the way that
I fight, it looks like I want to absolutely murder somebody, right,

(47:40):
But I'm not really looking at it like I'm trying
to hurt the person. It's just it's x's and o's
and there's a job to be done, and there's an
arm and two there's two arms and two legs, and
I'm not even looking at the person like it's a person,
a human, a soul. I'm just looking at it like
it's flesh and flesh and bones. And I'm out there
and I have a job to do with no malice
in my heart, but with a crazy, crazy willingness and

(48:04):
want to inflict bodily arm.

Speaker 2 (48:06):
At the press conference when it can be you versus
your opponent coming up for any two people, when that
that fight happened at the press conference, when teams are
Is that ever real?

Speaker 10 (48:17):
You don't see it a lot in mixed martial arts,
you know, you see it a little bit more in boxing.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
Sure, you know.

Speaker 10 (48:21):
The the craziest thing is fights can be canceled and
money and money can change hands because of fines and
all kinds of stuff, and it's just it's not a
good thing, you know. Dana White always says, he's like,
you guys think I want this, like crazy animosity, Dudes
throwing stuff at each other and mother after each other,
hit each other with microphones, Like we don't want that. Ever,
you know, fights can be canceled because once you're under

(48:43):
the jurisdiction of a boxing commission right where like we'll
be fighting under the Nevada State Athletic Commission. They can
choose to pull the fight. They can choose to cancel
the fight. They can choose to find a fighter. They
can choose to kick you out, and now you have
to find a new opponent. But you know, there's a
certain amount of war of words that can sometimes turn

(49:03):
into a little bit too uh, you know, personal, and
then guys lose their lose their minds a little bit.
I try to stay a little bit even Keel number one,
because of my you know, my testimony, my platform and
the way my crowd of witnesses that I have right
but you know, also because it's just I try to
be a professional Eddie.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
Yeah, dude, I'm a fan, like I love UFC. I
watch it every Saturday. And when you knock someone out, uh,
and they start fencing, you know, they do the whole
I mean, they're gone and their hands start curling. It's
like it's called a fencing position. I guess is when
they kind of do that.

Speaker 5 (49:40):
Is that what's that?

Speaker 2 (49:40):
Right?

Speaker 5 (49:41):
I don't know. I just know that's what happens when
they get the first time I saw freaky.

Speaker 1 (49:45):
Yeah, it's really freaky. Does it freak you out? Does
it make you worry for them? Or are you just
kind of like it's all right, they'll pick their legs up,
they'll get oxygen to the head and they'll be fine.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (49:52):
You know, I think I have seen it so many
times that you kind of get a little bit desensitized
to it, you know, and it can look it could
look bad in a lot of people's eyes too, you know.
I'd take myself back to two fights ago. I had
kicked Tony Ferguson and he was out for dang near
two minutes, you know, and and the body is just
convulsing and trying to breathe on its own subconsciously, and

(50:14):
luckily he went down in a fashion that I knew
he was out. I went to go throw one more
and I held myself back, but you know, I'm doing
backflips and celebration. And you know, one thing that a
lot of people that don't know is they're like, well,
why didn't you go over and help him out. It's
like they actually won't let you get close to a
really the lifeless body there because of you know, I mean,
things could happen if there was a lot of animosity.

(50:36):
I could go over and kick them while he's down,
spit on them, do all kinds of you know, crazy stuff.
So they actually pull you away, so I know, you
can't go engage the body laying there. But yeah, it's
pretty It's a it really comes full circle when you
see that kind of stuff and really realize the you know,
the the risk that we are taking, and you know,
not just the embarrassment of it, but the lifelong harm

(50:59):
of what could be happening.

Speaker 1 (51:00):
Whenever there's a fight and you know, somebody gets kicked
in the nuts a couple of times or whatever, they
got to stop the fight because of I poke. Yeah,
there's always disappointment in that. I'm both fighters, right, but
the opponent that poked the eyes always just like God, Like, oh, like,
why did it happen to end that way? What's that
feeling when they do have to stop a fight because
it's something stupid like that.

Speaker 10 (51:18):
Yeah, it's unfortunate, you know, because we do we do
fight in those four ounce gloves where the fingers are
out and you know, obviously we have a cup on.

Speaker 5 (51:24):
But you get kicked in the cup, it still hurts.
You know.

Speaker 10 (51:27):
I had a fight where I I kind of messed
up a nerve in my foot and I was rolling
my ankle and the graf had to call it. I
was still willing to fight. I said, you know, cut
it off and keep going right, you know. So, But
it's it is always tough. It's tough for the fans.
It's tough for the people who bought tickets. It's tough,
especially if it happens in a big fight.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
Do you get paid still if you have if it
gets a no contest?

Speaker 10 (51:48):
Yeah, usually, I don't really know how that works. You know,
a lot of times guys have a show money. You
get paid to show up and then you get paid
if you win, or you have guaranteed money no matter what.
But yeah, it's all depending on your contract.

Speaker 1 (52:01):
I got a stupid question. I've just always thought this though,
whenever you're grappling, could you tickle the dude?

Speaker 5 (52:06):
You could? You definitely could.

Speaker 10 (52:09):
I mean, it's definitely within the unified rules of mixed
martial arts.

Speaker 5 (52:12):
I think you can't.

Speaker 10 (52:12):
You know, you can't eye goud, you can't fish hook,
you can't poke them in the eyes.

Speaker 5 (52:16):
But I think tickling is legal, but especially if you
make the noise that it probably makes Sports Center top ten.

Speaker 10 (52:24):
But also but also I don't think it would have
much effect because just like getting punched in the face,
you probably don't feel tickling with your adrenaline being that
high either. But maybe I'll try try, I'll come on,
come back on the show. Like I just check out
this linel look right there?

Speaker 2 (52:40):
Did Your adrenaline can't be pumping as high when you
when you're training, when you're sparring, right if you can
have well sparing, that's got freaking hurt.

Speaker 10 (52:46):
Yeah, that's but usually we're wearing bigger gloves, so we're
usually sparring in sixteen ounce gloves.

Speaker 5 (52:52):
You know, headgear.

Speaker 10 (52:54):
A lot of times I'll be wearing headgear this entire
training camp, just because the fear of getting cut, whether
it's an accidental invert and headbutt, elbow knee. I mean,
God did not create our bodies to like be crashing
up against each other bone on bone and head skull
on skull. But yeah, you feel a lot more in
training than you do in the actual fight itself.

Speaker 2 (53:13):
Do you ever on fight night, if I'm gonna go
do stand up or something? Their nights, I just don't
feel good. Yeah, Like you know, I just don't feel good.
And I gotta go perform and have a theater full
of people that have paid good money and waited to
come to the show, and I gotta go, And do
you ever just not feel good?

Speaker 5 (53:26):
Yeah, that's the unfortunate part.

Speaker 10 (53:27):
I mean, imagine right now I'm sitting here at the
end of March, and I'm gonna start training for twelve
weeks April one through the end of June, and just
hoping that that night everything is clicking, body is feeling good.
Heaven forbid, I might get a sick a stomach bug
twenty four hours before, forty hours before, which happens, you know,
any kind of infection or whatever, any kind of ailment
that could happen, or Yeah, you're just not feeling it.

(53:49):
I mean, you're just you're pumped up, You're good to go.
You might get a really good workout in that morning.
I'd like to get a good shakeout where I'm just
hitting pads and feeling dangerous that morning, and then you
might show up to arena and be like, hmm, just
not feeling it, you know, And which is unfortunate because
if we would have fucked twenty four hours or five
days later or whatever. And that's why it's such a

(54:10):
and we only get so many opportunities to perform, you know,
you think about basketball, or you think about one of
these other sports where you might have forty games or
fifty games in a season, and we only get two
or three opportunities. You know, I didn't fight at all
last year. I'm fighting probably twice this year, you know,
June and then November or something. I get those two
opportunities thirty minutes probably, or twenty five minutes plus fifteen

(54:31):
minutes or twenty five and twenty five upwards of possibly
fifty minutes at the most that I get those two opportunities,
and hopefully you're feeling and everything's clicking.

Speaker 2 (54:39):
Like the Olympics. You trained for four years, and then
it's like, all right, time to run your race.

Speaker 1 (54:43):
Yeah, this is it exactly.

Speaker 5 (54:45):
I mean think about that.

Speaker 10 (54:46):
Yeah, about you're getting on the starting block or whatever
and you're like, I just not feeling it.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Yeah, I got a earache.

Speaker 1 (54:52):
You gotta go. We have earache all day.

Speaker 10 (54:54):
Well that and that has happened too, I mean, you
know we and it happens in all sports, right, you know,
you show up on game or fight night or whatever,
and nobody's one hundred percent, especially in the sport of
mixed martial arts, no matter what. We've taken some kind
of damage to the leg, to the limbs, you know,
your head, your face, or you're just not feeling it.

Speaker 5 (55:11):
Maybe you had a bad weight cut and you just
you know, that's why.

Speaker 10 (55:13):
You really when you really like me, I'll be thirty
eight next month, I've been doing it for fifteen years,
you really start to feel a sense of gratitude, like, man,
how has this gone so well so many times for
so long with this huge platform. You really just get
that gratitude because it I've been around so many guys
who've been so promising at that twenty two to twenty

(55:34):
five year old, you know, and then.

Speaker 5 (55:35):
All of a sudden, they just kind of fizzle out.

Speaker 10 (55:37):
Things don't go well, or contract disputes or tough luck,
tough knockout, bad you know, bad loss that just kind
of derails the career.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Final three questions, Let's just talk about the fight. How
you feeling about this McGregor fight.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
I feel great.

Speaker 10 (55:50):
You know, this has been, uh, it's been about a
year in the making, you know, he and I. He
and I signed to do the Ultimate Fighter reality show
last year. That was in February, right, so it's been
about thirteen months and then it's been kind of a
build up where were supposed to fight after the fight
or after the show aired, and now we're a couple
of months.

Speaker 5 (56:07):
After that, obviously. But I feel great about it. I
do feel good. You know.

Speaker 10 (56:11):
I feel I'm thirty seven, but I feel like I'm
twenty five years old still. I think I have all
the skills, all the abilities. I think I'm the more
dangerous man. I think I'm the more dedicated, discipline and
dominant man. And I believe it's gonna be my greatest
moment of opportunity, biggest platform and brightest lights, and I'm
going to go out there and do exactly what I
need to do and finish.

Speaker 5 (56:27):
Them in the first two rounds.

Speaker 2 (56:28):
Do you ever fight a lot? The final two questions,
you ever fight somebody you really like and you're like,
I really like this dude, and I got.

Speaker 1 (56:34):
To pummel them.

Speaker 5 (56:35):
Yeah, I mean, honestly, there's a ton of respect.

Speaker 10 (56:37):
I don't really dislike anybody that I have fought, or.

Speaker 5 (56:42):
As of recent there's been a couple guys.

Speaker 10 (56:44):
But you know, all the guys on my weight class,
especially the guys that you have fought or you watch
them fight them, and watching some of these guys fight
for the last ten years, I mean, I know the
lifestyle that they have to live, I know the sacrifices
they have to make. I know how tough they have
to be and how skilled they are. So how do
you not have a ton of respect for them?

Speaker 5 (56:58):
You know?

Speaker 10 (57:00):
And Justin Gatchee Fight of the Year twenty twenty one,
crazy crazy fight in Madison Square Garden. Yet he and
I feel like one of those deals where we didn't
have to compete against each other, we'd probably be friends outside, right,
So it's you know, and we probably will.

Speaker 5 (57:13):
Be when we laid the gloves down.

Speaker 10 (57:15):
But yeah, I mean, it's I have a ton of
respect for everybody that I fight.

Speaker 2 (57:19):
Final question then Eddie's bonus question. But your platform that
you've like, you've been successful. Therefore you've been able to
take that success and shine lights on other things. How
important has that been to you to actually have the
other parts of your life, the other fulfilling parts, to
be able to lift them up as well.

Speaker 5 (57:39):
It's been It's been an absolute blessing.

Speaker 10 (57:41):
I mean, it's just like I said, it's that shiny
object thing, you know, fighting in a cage in front
of millions of people, that's my shiny object that gets
people to look right. And then with the platform, I've
been able to make a big impact, whether it's with
you know, Covenant raising money for a tragedy that happened
in my in my town that.

Speaker 5 (57:57):
I live in.

Speaker 10 (57:57):
Right, that's a platform I'm able to use. Having my
life and my sons and having a platform of being
a father and being a husband and shining light on
that stuff.

Speaker 5 (58:05):
That.

Speaker 10 (58:05):
Yeah, the belts is cool, right, the belts and the
money and the lights and being a professional athlete. That
is so cool and I'm so fortunate to be able
to do it. But it's gonna only last so long,
and the belts will tarnish and the awards will go
away and all that stuff. But the man that I am,
the man that I have tried to become and continue
to become, and the other businesses I've been able to

(58:26):
do two things these days is I said I started out,
I wanted to be a guy who made people change
the perception of what a mixed martial artist is, where
they leave and interact and say, oh, that guy is
a little bit more to this, that or the other
than I thought he would be, being a guy who
fights in a cage.

Speaker 5 (58:42):
And then you know, these days.

Speaker 10 (58:44):
I'm more of a businessman and an entrepreneur who just
so happens to fight a couple times a year.

Speaker 5 (58:48):
So it all just kind of coincides.

Speaker 10 (58:50):
And I'm living a dream and I'm living a life
that I never thought would be possible, coming from a
small town and rural Missouri, and here I am on
this big platform and enjoin every second of it.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Any final bonus question, Yeah, fin final bonus questions. When
you're in the corner and coach is talking to you, like,
are you actually listening to that?

Speaker 5 (59:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (59:09):
Is the best that I can you know, by the
time you walk back, you've already lost ten seconds. And
then by the time they get out five seconds before
the round, you know, you got about forty five seconds
and it could.

Speaker 5 (59:19):
Have been a very easy round.

Speaker 10 (59:20):
You might be hi, just you knowing phenomenal because everything
is doing well, or you might be like, yo, dude,
I don't even know what I'm looking at right now
because I just got my bell rung twenty seconds ago
and I'm stumbling back to the corner right You know,
more than anything, it's it's capturing your breath, taking a
hold of your breath, trying to lower your lower your
heart rate because it's going one thousand miles an hour.

Speaker 5 (59:41):
And for me, I don't like to be over coached.
You know, there's just two or three little cues.

Speaker 10 (59:45):
If there's two or three little cues, and the and
the familiarity of my coach's voice, My coach, Henry Hooft,
who's my head coach. He's like my rock out there
that just kind of brings me back to that neutral
and doesn't over coach me. He knows what to say
and uh, just quick little cues that it's like all right, yeah,
I don't need to worry about twenty five things. Let's
what are these two things I need to focus on

(01:00:07):
going into this next round that's gonna keep me in
that dangerous moment that I need to be in.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
I needed to play golf with me then his coach,
So twenty five things, it's actually destroying me and just
be like, hey man, two things. So uh you guys,

Got to thank you guys for having me. I appreciate
it all right, Boom, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
I told you you're gonna love that interview. Well that's
a good question though, right, Like I've wondered that for years.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
Yeah, I did like that question.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Just don't understand why you wouldn't tickle someone if their
rolling on top of you.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
Probably because it's hard to tackle someone and they're flexed. Like,
if you can tickle me and I'm flexed and let
me see.

Speaker 7 (01:02:42):
I'd be down so quick.

Speaker 2 (01:02:43):
You would read.

Speaker 3 (01:02:44):
Yeah, very good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
As the interview, Reid goes, Hey, man, where's the best
place to punch someone in the face?

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
Why did you ask that. Read sound like that, man,
Yes you do.

Speaker 2 (01:02:56):
Man, I don't sound like that.

Speaker 7 (01:02:57):
I'm serious.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Yeah, we should launch our eBay in the next couple
of days. Read now battle it out for the cake
bacon on the show later this week. Don't know what
that's going to be yet, but I think that's it.
Anybody have any closing remarks?

Speaker 5 (01:03:15):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
No, you think he walks into places and just like
I could be No everybody up in here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:21):
No, he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
I think when he was younger, probably like.

Speaker 3 (01:03:23):
Cauld, I think about that.

Speaker 4 (01:03:24):
I'm like, dang im, iine me able to like just know,
like if anything went down, you would survive.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
So I think when he was younger, probably I would
say there was a time in my life when I
started to have some success and started to make some money,
when I would walk into a gas station and I
could buy anything in here. And I was serious because
I couldn't a gas station. I can have anything I
want in this whole place. That was I don't think
about that anymore. I'm mature.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
I go to Target.

Speaker 3 (01:03:47):
Nice.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
I mean, I could probably buy anything in a gas station.
What's the most expensive. I'd have a gas station a
gas drug. But to me.

Speaker 2 (01:03:55):
I was like, that's not the point. I was like,
ibut anything in this game?

Speaker 1 (01:03:58):
Oh no, no, no, no, all the lottery tickets. You
can't do that.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
That's why didn't they buy all of them. I'm not
also gonna buy all the gas station.

Speaker 1 (01:04:03):
Oh well, now I'm just saying, what's the most two
scratches here? Yeah, speaking of let's start scratching fifty bucks?

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Is that a Florida These are Florida ones?

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
Do you want to do it right now? No?

Speaker 7 (01:04:12):
Okay, that's funny.

Speaker 8 (01:04:15):
What is what?

Speaker 7 (01:04:18):
I don't know. I don't know why I said that,
to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
That's funny. Yeah, yeah, thank you all. See later this week, Reid.

Speaker 1 (01:04:27):
Good to have you bag, buddy.

Speaker 7 (01:04:27):
Hey swam, I did have the cops called on me
this weekend, okay on you. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:04:33):
I paid for this guy's this old guy's meal at
this restaurant. He was handicapped and he couldn't go in,
so I paid for his meal. And then I see
him like two hours later, walking around the mall at
going into New Balance, So I go up to him.

Speaker 1 (01:04:46):
No way, yeah, I swear you went up to him.

Speaker 7 (01:04:49):
Yeah, I was just gonna ask to see if he
remembered me, and why did.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Your flowers or buy him his mill or what?

Speaker 8 (01:04:54):
No, No, he was just like he was acting on
like he was like, I'm handicapped. I can't go in
and pay for this meal or whatever. And so I
go in there and I pay for his meal and
he doesn't pay him back. I was like, okay, whatever,
And okay, so you weren't paying it originally got it to.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
Buy it for him, you were paying it and then
he would pay you back.

Speaker 7 (01:05:12):
Yeah, got it?

Speaker 5 (01:05:12):
Did he know that? Maybe not?

Speaker 8 (01:05:14):
Okay, go ahead, But but I just thought it was
weird that he, you know, said he was handicapped, but
then he's walking around the mall.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Because this toy might be so good that we may
just want to hold it. Yeah, because I don't want
to react to it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
But we're halfway in, dude, I.

Speaker 2 (01:05:27):
Know it's like the greatest season two thriller ever.

Speaker 7 (01:05:29):
I can hold it.

Speaker 1 (01:05:31):
Well, I know you know how it goes. You can
hold it.

Speaker 2 (01:05:34):
Let's finish it.

Speaker 7 (01:05:35):
Go ahead, okay.

Speaker 8 (01:05:36):
So anyway, my dad is with me, and so I
tell my dad that, and he was like, you should
just like go up to him and just see if
he remembers you.

Speaker 5 (01:05:45):
Or whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:05:45):
So I go up to him, I'm like, hey, you
remember me, and he just gets so weird and sketchy
and it just goes nope, nope, nope, and just starts
running away.

Speaker 1 (01:05:52):
And that was the time frame. Well when did you
pay for the meal? And when'd you see him again?

Speaker 7 (01:05:55):
At around ten o'clock in the morning?

Speaker 8 (01:05:57):
And I saw him at like four point thirty okay,
and yeah, and he just started acting really freaking weird
and his uh son in law was there and they
just they started calling the cops and there and they're like,
these guys like talk about me and my dad are
trying to trying to scam money out of my father
in law needs to say. I hope I had the

(01:06:18):
right guy, because if I didn't, Oh no, I told
my dad beforehand, the odds that wasn't the right honestly
in your head, honestly I told my dad.

Speaker 7 (01:06:26):
I was like, I don't know, I'm like eighty five
percent sure.

Speaker 3 (01:06:32):
What was he wearing the same clothes?

Speaker 7 (01:06:33):
No, he was wearing difficultes.

Speaker 2 (01:06:35):
Oh, I wasn't even the same guy.

Speaker 7 (01:06:40):
Why would he act so weird because you think I'm
trying also.

Speaker 2 (01:06:45):
Handicap then that's why I was the same guy.

Speaker 8 (01:06:49):
So there he called the cops and they're like I
would too, Like this guy is trying to scam money
out of my my father in law.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
Hold you, I just don't understand if you weren't one
hundred percent why you would go up to him.

Speaker 8 (01:07:04):
Oh well, so that's what I was saying to my dad,
And he's like, it's like it won't hurt to just
like see if he remembers you, you know, that's that's
what just from the day before or from atu did
he remember you?

Speaker 9 (01:07:15):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
Okay, so you stop right there.

Speaker 2 (01:07:17):
So that's when you go, he doesn't, I'm going to
move away because it may not be him.

Speaker 8 (01:07:20):
That's true, But I just he just acted so weird
again because you're a random dude coming up to him going.

Speaker 7 (01:07:25):
I feel like he would have been.

Speaker 2 (01:07:26):
Like I would have thought he was scamming me for
money too.

Speaker 7 (01:07:28):
I feel like he would have been like no, I
just like I think you have the wrong guy.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
But he was just like no, Nope.

Speaker 2 (01:07:32):
And it was just like people come up to me
like that, I'm not trying to have a conversation with
him if I feel like they're trying to get something
from him.

Speaker 3 (01:07:39):
What did you say to him?

Speaker 7 (01:07:40):
I said, Hey, do you remember me from earlier? Oh?

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I thought it for sure, scammer.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Yeah that's all you said, do you remember me from earlier?

Speaker 5 (01:07:47):
No?

Speaker 8 (01:07:47):
And then he goes where and I go the bakery
this morning? He goes nope, nope, nope, nope, starts.

Speaker 7 (01:07:55):
Walking off, and I was like, that's the guy. That
is the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:58):
Do you think he changed clothes?

Speaker 7 (01:08:00):
He could have.

Speaker 2 (01:08:01):
He could have you right, how many times you changed clothes?

Speaker 1 (01:08:04):
Though?

Speaker 2 (01:08:04):
From ten am to three they just let working out.

Speaker 8 (01:08:07):
They looked so similar and they just talked the same,
like the guy paid for like had no emotion.

Speaker 3 (01:08:12):
Like was just how close is the mall to the bakery?

Speaker 7 (01:08:16):
It's like ten minutes it could have been.

Speaker 3 (01:08:18):
Not super close though, that's not They're not even like
you gotta drive there. They're not even like in the
same area.

Speaker 7 (01:08:23):
No, not in the same area.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Okay, I'm going with not him.

Speaker 2 (01:08:26):
Hey, read now as you think about it, and we
go ha ha ha. Do you think it possibly wasn't him?

Speaker 8 (01:08:32):
Yeah, it probably wouldn't him. Yeah, yeah, I probably just
scared some old man.

Speaker 1 (01:08:36):
What the cops say to you?

Speaker 7 (01:08:38):
They didn't end up coming a manager came up and
she took us out.

Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
Taken out of them. It was it was like it
was like a strip that you got kicked out of
them all though.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Yeah sure you and your dad.

Speaker 2 (01:08:50):
Yeah, as you harass some old dude who was doing
nothing to kept walking on them.

Speaker 7 (01:08:54):
Just want him to admit what he did if he
was the guy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
But then I wondered the real original person and if
he even knows you wanted the money back or if
you were just like doing a nice gesture.

Speaker 8 (01:09:04):
I guess that's true. I don't know, because I don't know.
It was weird man, I don't know. I didn't even
want the money back. I just if he could have
just wanted him to go, Oh, I remember it was you,
thank you?

Speaker 7 (01:09:15):
Yeah, just say thank you? Like the original guy didn't
even say thank you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
Okay, but he didn't say thank you the first time
you saw him.

Speaker 7 (01:09:22):
Yeah, no, I think I was really want I was
just wanting that thank you really bad.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
That sounds like it wasn't even him, I know.

Speaker 1 (01:09:28):
Yeah, all right, Well that's it. Everybody's interesting, man.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Is that why you asked where to punch somebody in
case somebody gives you?

Speaker 7 (01:09:38):
Never know when you're gonna need to punch it, old guy.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
Yeah, and he kept elderly.

Speaker 1 (01:09:42):
Man, it wasn't even him read all right, blow the whistle, Yeah,
