Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral win sparks debate over his socialist platform and "globalized intifada" rhetoric, while Andrew Schulz analyzes Ilya Topuria's tactical knockout of Charles Oliveira in the UFC. The hosts dissect Topuria's off-center movement strategy, speculate on Roman Reigns playing Akuma in the Street Fighter movie, and debate 14th Amendment birthright citizenship ethics amid personal struggles with GLP-1 medication-induced hunger. Ultimately, the episode blends political populism, combat sports mechanics, and satirical legal theories to explore modern cultural tensions. [Automatically generated summary]

NYC Mayor Controversy00:14:56
And we're back.
Listen, we go away for one week and New York City turns into a Muslim communist utopia.
So what the happened?
When we went away, right?
We had the guy that killed all the old people and was f ⁇ ing his employees.
Listen, I'm standing.
He should have been.
That's a good guy.
That's a good guy.
I thought no matter what, we're still getting 11, right?
If Cuomo or Mayor Adams wins, we get 11.
All right.
I don't even want to know what 11 looks like if Mamdani's going to be mayor.
Put a 9 in front of her.
All right.
Don't do that.
Don't do that, guys.
That's racist.
That's racist.
I stand with Zola on a scar, dude.
That was really good.
That was really good.
Do it a second time.
No sound tower.
Come on, dude.
That's great.
I don't know.
I kind of thought it bombed you.
Yo, what happened, man?
This guy had it, dude.
Crazy momentum.
People loved him.
You saw the thing happening.
The last week or two before the election, I was like, oh, he got this.
I've been trying to tell y'all, man.
Like, he's out.
He has people.
Like, they came to my door three times in the past two months.
Damn.
No, but for real.
So how did they know to target you?
I mean, I live in Queens.
What?
I live in Queens.
They want to come.
Yeah, but you're black.
It's like just like white kids that vote for him, right?
Isn't that the same thing?
I think it was white people and people also make over 100,000.
Okay.
That's what they said, though.
That's what they said.
Yeah, I know.
I didn't know I made that much.
Yeah, according to IRS, I do not know.
It's just everybody with like $200,000 of student loans.
Like, isn't that exactly, right?
That's really what this comes at.
I imagine this, and there's a guy named David Freeberg and all the all-in who did like a cool breakdown of it.
Maybe we ended up watching it.
But this is kind of what I was feeling.
I didn't tie it to student loans, but like when the socialist populism starts to happen, usually it's when you just feel like there's no opportunity.
Yeah.
Right.
That's usually what happens.
Like when you move to New York, right?
You're coming here because you got some crazy dream and you're going to make it happen.
Yeah.
And when you come with like two, three hundred thousand dollars worth of debt, you realize you have negative money and there's really no way that you're going to be able to escape that.
So now you can't pursue this like crazy dream of yours because you got this crippling debt.
And then you got to go, okay, well, how can my life be kind of good as it is?
Yeah.
And, well, now we need the government to tap in.
That's a very valid feeling, though.
Like, that's what I'm saying.
Like, I completely understand everybody that has $200,000, $300,000 worth of student loan debt.
You know, not everyone.
Like, if you decided to major in like something crazy, like women.
Women.
Yeah.
No, like, if you just had some like crazy major that there's no job you could ever get and you have $200,000 worth of student loans, like you're obviously being stupid.
But like, I do think there are a lot of people that were, you know, maybe sold a dream with college and it just doesn't exactly work that way anymore.
And now they're in the situation where they're like getting crushed by rent, they're getting crushed by the cost of living, and they really see no upward mobility.
So they're like, hey, I got to breathe here.
And this guy looks like he's going to give me a little wiggle room.
I completely understand why they're going for it.
It's going to destroy the city and we're not going to get 11.
And it will happen, but that is okay.
It will happen.
Why do you feel it's going to destroy the city?
Because Venezuela or something the right-wing guys told me.
Right?
Because it's going to be Venezuela.
That's what all the right-wing guys told me.
Inflation.
Inflation.
Yeah, that's what they said.
That's a real problem.
They didn't talk about the 50s when there was like a 90% marginal tax rate.
And that's where the American dream started.
But Venezuela, guys, Venezuela is the issue.
We're going to be eating the zoo animals.
We're going to be eating the zoo animals, guys.
We're not going to get a 9-11.
Yeah.
Dude, if they called New York's 11 9-11, that would be insane.
Mark, you're so racist.
Two polls in the middle.
Two polls in the middle, and 9-20, it just starts to combust.
This is not good to joke around.
No, it's okay in Mamdani's New York.
Exactly.
Mamdani's joke.
We don't joke.
Listen, we're globalizing the antifada.
I don't even know what the fuck that shit is.
I thought it was a new groove movie.
I had no idea.
Yo, that shit sounds hard.
That shit sounds hard, though.
I don't know what it means, but it sounds hard.
It sounds terrifying.
I'm not going to lie.
Globalized.
Group chat.
And oh, Tanya came after mine.
What did she say?
She just chewed me a new one.
And then I did some research.
I'm like, oh, I'm talking about it too.
A different situation.
So what is globalized antifada?
And why was our soon-to-be mayor saying that shit?
You know, I don't know what his actual, did he say globalized antifad?
I think he just refused to denounce a movement or whatever.
It's one of those.
No, I think he said it.
So he's stuck between like a rock and a hard place.
Like a lot of these.
Iraq and a hard place.
You know, you can do this, bro.
You can just pick it up, throw it in a tank.
Dude, Iraq and a hard place is just Iran.
No, because like a lot of the, you need some crazy ideas to like shake shit up and make some noise when you're a candidate that's polling a zero, right?
So you need to say some wild shit so that you can get the attention of the people who have the wildest beliefs.
Yes, he took your advice.
Exactly.
But you got to do it for comedy and post clips.
You can't do it for mayor, okay?
We need a mayor who fingers his employees.
Yes, or has swag.
Or has swag.
Listen, Mayor Adams sat on that seat, man, and there's nothing more I got to say about it.
Like you felt the energy, didn't you?
He did.
He did.
That was crazy.
I dressed nice now.
No, he did change the way you dressed.
He cucked you.
That was crazy.
Yeah.
Remember when he called you a flamingo for your nails?
No, he did.
What the fuck is this?
There was another word that started with that.
There was.
No, he didn't lie right to Al's face, though.
He said, what did he say to you?
I asked, are you running as a Democrat?
He told me, yes, absolutely.
And then the next day, he came.
Buddy, not even the next day.
As soon as we walk out of the interview, we go home.
He's announced he's running as an independent.
He saw Alex's nails.
He's like, I'm done with these Democrats, right?
I can't be taking these fairies to the promised land.
The fuck is going on over here?
Let Mamdani handle that.
No, but yeah, like you got to say some wild shit.
And also, it's probably like, I don't know.
You got to have some pretty, you have to have a little bit more extreme ideas.
And then you galvanize those people on the extremes.
But now, when you have an actual shot to be mayor, you don't want to lose him.
Right?
Because if you go, you know, I was just kind of being hyperbolic and I was being a little bit crazy.
They all go, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah.
So like I saw a video recently of him, you know, at some event and there was like some dude who's like Palestinian came back and he goes, what do you mean you recognize Israel?
I supported you because this is before the primary to be fair.
This video.
That video?
I'm fairly certain it was before the primary.
It goes right after the debate.
Oh, okay, got it.
Got it.
So it was like, here's this, here's this thing where it's like you're trying to land the plane.
And guys, I don't want to do any more 9-11 drugs.
Yeah, this is extremely.
Can we fucking...
You better vote for Eric Adams.
It's fucked up, dude.
There's no 9-11 during Eric Adams.
Can you at least give him credit for that?
That's true.
Not one.
Kept the city safe.
Did?
Okay.
Canal Street looks like Sudan.
Okay.
How did the Sudanese take over the Chinese main export in America, which is fake shit?
When did this happen?
Hell Road Initiative.
I've only known Africans to be selling the fake shit.
I assume that was how it was all.
When we were growing up, it was Chinese ladies.
China bought Africa and now the Africans are working for their ladies.
Yo, they outsource their Chinese.
They put them on the corners now.
Mamdani got to do something about that.
Yeah.
You got to get these Chinese people their jobs back.
I'm sick and tired.
I'm sick and tired of these Africans stealing these Chinese people's jobs.
Oh, man.
No, no, what was I going to say?
Oh, yeah.
So now he's got to land the plane and now he's got to be delicate about this shit.
He says, like, when you're the guy who's pulling at zero, you can say whatever the fuck you want.
It's not really.
I don't, dude, I would see the Israel stuff and like he would say, I believe Israel has a right to exist as a country, but and then he would say what they're doing is crazy, which is, I think, how most of us feel.
So I think even before on that, he said they have a right to exist as long as they respect international law or something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, I know.
The rest of them, like, when every one of them were like tap dancing on that, on that debate.
Oh, that was fucking embarrassing.
And he was the one that didn't do it.
That's when I was like, okay, this kid, this kid got some balls.
He's not bought.
This is cool.
That's funny.
I think that was massive.
There were some really nice, his social media team did a great job.
Dude, there's one moment of his mom coming out while he's campaigning and he like gives her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek and she's like, he's eating junk food and she's like worried about it.
It's like really sweet and endearing.
So that was made him look nice.
And then dunking on Cuomo with that fucking, you're right.
I'm not ready.
That's when I was like, oh, he got it.
The campaign is not.
He's going to ruin the city, but he's ready.
He's ready.
He's going to do it in style.
And he's going to do it in an accent that nobody with immigrant parents from Queens has ever had.
I know accents.
I have three.
None of them.
I have three accents.
Okay.
Most New Yorkers have between two and four accents.
So he's a real New Yorker.
No, but this one we don't have here.
There's no politician accent in New York.
When did he move here?
Because he went to school in Uganda or whatever.
Probably went to a school.
So where's that click-click shit?
I'm clicking.
That's what I did.
He probably went to a British school.
I want him to get frustrated in the sun and suck his teeth.
Like, you know that?
If you do that, if he said that to Cuomo, hell, you're such a fucking cracker, man.
Yeah, fucking fucking bad.
He's going to make African jokes around you, dude.
You don't even know what the fuck we're talking about.
Yeah.
When he's seven.
Yeah, he probably shouldn't have an accent from you.
I'm pissed off he doesn't have a bull hanging from his bottom lip.
Like, are you from Africa or not?
You know what I'm saying?
Where's the bowl on your bottom lip?
Yes, dude.
Sir.
Yes.
Look at this guy.
Got a regular lip.
He is handsome, though.
I love this guy, dude.
He is handsome.
Good looking car.
But you know him and Elon, dude.
Africans are taking over American politics.
Yo, non-African Africans are crushing that.
I mean, they've been ducking us, but I like them.
Yo, that's the other thing.
Because let's, what is it?
What is that for?
Cards on the table.
Yes.
No, no, no, no.
Put a nail in it or something like that.
Clear the slate.
Clear the slate, whatever, like that.
Clear the air?
Fuck.
Put a bone on his nose.
What is that?
What are you trying to say?
Let's put a bowl in the lip right there.
Let's put a bowl in the lip right there.
Listen, let's ring up the neck.
Let's ring up that.
I don't even know if that's in Africa.
He's Malaysia.
Malaysia.
All right, shout out to them.
Okay.
Okay, so listen, I've had a lot of people reach out.
Yo, you can have my Mamdani on, okay?
Yeah.
We've been trying to have them on.
And Mamdani, maybe your comms people aren't getting back to you or whatever it is, but like they've been ghosting us.
Initially, I think they were reaching out a lot.
You were in touch with them.
They were really trying to come on.
Yes, they were.
We had to go to Ibiza before they want to turn us into the expanding the caliphate to New York City.
Also, don't say we.
What do you mean we?
The Royal.
Mamdani.
So, listen, we all went on vacation, right?
And okay, and then I come back from vacation.
I'm trying to email and come.
I'm texting the comms person.
I DM them.
They gave me a little cold shoulder when I DM'd.
And then somebody else in the DMs is like, oh, actually, yeah, yeah, I heard we're in touch with some people, blah, blah, blah.
I tried to get him like a month and a half ago, brown-to-brown man-to-man interview.
He wouldn't even.
I'm just saying, you know, there's a pod, this is the biggest podcast in New York City by far.
You know, you have the ability to touch all these different people.
You're going to do these little live streams and these other things.
Like, it probably could be a good idea to come.
So maybe, Zoran, maybe your people aren't telling you.
Or obviously, things are kind of busy, but if you want it, you want it.
It's simple as that.
You know what I mean?
If you want to be mayor of the greatest city in the world, you got to get after.
You got to touch everybody.
So yeah, take it from Cuomo.
I know.
That's how you got to do it.
If you want to win, you got to touch it.
We just want to put it out right now so we don't have any of this election shit, right?
He's been asked.
His people are not getting back to us.
They were asking to come on a lot.
After the win, they've kind of gone ghost.
Win on the primary, they've gone ghost.
So, Zoran, maybe this will reach you.
Maybe some of them.
I've also asked other people to go reach out to him, whatever.
I don't want to say they're ducking us, but I do.
Yeah.
So, so listen, we have a seat right here.
We'd love to sit down and talk to you about some of your policies and how you've managed to galvanize white losers to support you.
And son, there's no minorities that voted for him.
I looked at the demographics.
I don't vote, but yeah, I would.
I'm telling you, they don't.
It's all white people.
It's all of Brooklyn.
It's all of white Brooklyn voted for him.
That's all of Queens.
Queens is the most diverse.
I don't think white people voted for him.
I think it's all of Queens.
It's only white people.
He had his little neighborhood, which is the whitest neighborhood in Queens.
He lost the Bronx.
Of course, he lost the Bronx because there's no white people there.
The only white person in the Bronx holds the Yankees.
So, yeah.
So, I want to know how he's galvanized.
I mean, what I assume it is, it has a lot to do with the college lungs.
So, it's just like people who go to college.
Obviously, no one in the Bronx has ever done that, but like people, people, obviously, we're going to tell you about it.
Chill out.
Is that what the Bronx is known for?
Higher education.
I keep talking that shit.
What?
There's a college up there.
That's the four or five train away.
They're going to come down and smell.
They would prove my point.
You know, they're busy drilling, dude.
They're drilling.
They're drilling.
Okay.
No one in Bushwick, Fort Green, or Williamsburg is drilling.
The Williamsburg are drilling.
Yeah, the Jews.
They're getting undergraduates.
No, that Momdani, are you going to allow the Jews to build tunnels wherever they want?
Do you see what happened in Burrow Park?
No.
99% voted against Momdani.
It's the highest non-Momdani neighborhood.
What is Burrow Park?
It's all Hasidic.
Oh, but I heard there are some Hasidic communities or there are some Jewish communities that actually supported him.
Maybe, but the Hasids are like the most like, they just vote all together at once.
Rent Freeze Debate00:08:42
Yeah.
Singular Brain.
They're like those.
Yeah.
He'll say something.
I go, yeah, yeah.
They do with Singular Brain.
Like, I think that's what makes them so effective as a voting block.
It's like there's the rabbi, the rabbi says, this is what's going down.
And then they do it.
Look how they dress.
There's no like individual listeners.
Who's at 1%?
Find that guy.
Who's that 1% that didn't listen?
You said 99% in Burrow Park.
No, no, no.
There's one ginger fire, dude.
Yeah, it's fucking Maddas Yahoo.
The one guy that's coming up.
Also, guys, we dropped a bunch of new tour dates on the website, akashing.com.
Starting in August, I'm going to do Kansas City, Missouri.
We're going to Perrysburg, Ohio, Liberty Township, Ohio.
A lot of Ohio.
We're going to Danny Beach, Florida.
Cleveland, back in Ohio.
Dubai.
Hurry up and buy those tickets because they're almost gone.
October 5th, October 23rd and 24th, San Jose.
I'm going to be coming to San Fran, Orlando.
Guys, go to akashing.com.
Hurry up, buy the tickets.
Your boy's selling out.
So buy the tickets.
I'll see y'all later.
What's up, people?
New York City.
I'm going to be doing my monthly show that I do with my friend Joey Avery and, unfortunately, my friend David Sanchez.
It's awesome.
I can't wait to see you guys there at Mary Lou Tickets in my bio and in the description of this video.
Also, I'm going to Fort Worth, Texas, Austin, Stanford, Connecticut, Levittown, Washington, D.C., Chandler, Arizona, San Diego, Burlington, Montreal, Toronto, Berkeley, Detroit, and many other things.
It's bigger than the Pentagon.
I'm going to be the Lincoln Memorial.
We're going to have to bleep some of this, okay?
And no one knows what got bleeped.
You guys had left this show.
And also, if you want to see Mark in New York on July 19th, you could see him at the Hard Rock Hotel.
Cancel Comedy.
Mark will be there.
A lot of people will be there.
If you don't want to suck his dick, you could suck Akash's dick or Miles' dick because I'm going to try.
I only need to get my dick sucked, not to perform.
All right.
Thank you guys.
Peace.
I also think part of the reason he won't, maybe secondarily, I don't want to argue with Friedberg, but like when you feel cheated by mainstream politicians, for lack of a better word, the guys on the outside are going to start seeming a lot more appealing.
He seems so much more authentic than Cuomo has seemed since COVID.
At least he seems more authentic than me than Eric Adams seems.
He seems like he cares.
Yes.
You can say not authentic or I feel like he's authentic.
Okay, fine, but you can, he feels like he cares.
I think he has plans that I think he has plans and ideas that appeal to the frustrations of New Yorkers, where these other politicians, like the Cuomos, whatever, feels like it's just going to be the same old, same old that has put these New Yorkers in the position they are right now.
They're suffering.
The only problem is like a lot of the plans that he has, some of them, and this is why I want to talk with him.
I'm not on some gotcha shit, but like from my little research, like implementing them would be quite difficult.
You know, like, for example, he to pay for all of his plans, he wants like increased taxes by 2% on like the billionaires.
Sure, great idea.
The mayor can't do that.
You have to convince the assemblymen to do that.
Taxation, even in the New York City, is done in Albany, right?
Which he was working in the state assembly and he didn't do while he was there.
So how is he going to get it done now that he's mayor?
He was in the position to raise taxes before for four years, whatever it is, and it didn't happen.
Now he no longer has that authority to make that change.
How is that going to happen?
There's certain circumstances also like understanding like this like rent freeze.
I get it.
I get it.
Rent is fucking crushing people.
I get it 100%.
There's downstream effects of that that cause rental problems in New York City right now.
Now, I'm sure there's other things to refute this.
Of course, it has been done before.
It has.
No, no, the rent freezes have been done before 100%, but the downstream effects create these like what are called ghost apartments.
Have you heard of these?
Like zombie apartments?
So when you have a limitation in the ability to increase rent, and I'm not making the argument for increasing rent, and there's a bunch of fucking scumbag landlords out there, don't get me wrong.
Like I actually love this idea of like finding ways to make it more affordable for New York, but I think the way you do that is by increasing production.
You basically create more supply and then that brings it all down.
But right now, what you're going to do is he has plans to build, but building takes time.
You can't just erect a fucking skyscraper in a month or two like they used to do back in the day.
Like you have building codes and all this other fucking shit.
So you have this situation where if you're not allowed to increase rent, it doesn't incentivize the people who own the building to renovate those apartments.
It actually incentivizes them to leave them vacant until hopefully one day they change.
So there's 100,000 units that are rent controlled in New York City that are sitting vacant right now.
100,000 because of this change.
So these are the types of downriver effects that we need to think about.
Like, yes, rent freeze makes you feel awesome now.
And as a voter, you go, well, I don't care about downstream.
My life is difficult right now.
I need to know that I'm not spending more money every single year on rent.
I get that 100%.
But do we create a problem?
Does this solution create a much bigger problem down the road, which it looks like it has?
Whereas freeing up places to build so you increase supply will naturally drive down rent.
So I would have to do more research.
I just don't see how it would incentivize a landlord to not rent out the apartment because a rent freeze is year to year.
It's not like a long-term thing.
It's not a forever thing.
What does that mean?
A rent freeze is year to year.
It's like every year they decide how much rent will go up, like what percentage.
But that exists already.
Yeah.
So he's just talking about a rent freeze that's temporary.
So for this year, we're not raising rent.
Yeah.
Next year, we'll revisit.
So it just temporarily helps people who are already like pretty hard, like month to month with rent.
And then what, how would that help those people next year, I guess?
No, but that's the thing.
It's like temporarily, you help people.
And so like, if you're really checked or checked now, okay, I know for the next year, my rent's not going to go up.
And maybe I can allocate some money, put some money away, whatever the case is.
Like it just helps people who are starving right now.
It gives you like, you know, when you're playing the car racing video game and you pass the checkpoint, you get another 30 seconds or 40 seconds.
It gives you that, but it's not like a solution to the problem of New York City, which is a lack of units, right?
And we have right now millions of square feet, millions of square feet of office in Midtown New York that is zoned for offices.
It's zoned for commercial.
If we can change that zoning and we can start making residential properties there, yeah, maybe it's not like the most amazing place to live, but like honestly, who gives a fuck?
You're in Manhattan.
It would be an amazing place to live, right?
Sure.
Like you said, those things take time.
So in the meantime, I can freeze rent while creating more.
Because he said he wants to build.
He wants to increase supply to match the demand.
But while I do that, year to year, here's a rent.
That's fair.
And I did see him say that he has ideas to build.
I think that you don't even need to build.
I think you just need to rezone a lot of these buildings.
It's going to be even faster.
And then like months.
We're talking about transition in months.
So many people are not working in these office spaces.
I'm not saying a lot of people are working from home.
Obviously, people have gone back in, but if there's still vacant offices, and we know the issue is supply, supply, supply.
It's not, you can't just put this like artificial cap, right?
An artificial cap, like you said, maybe it lasts a year or two years, but you're going to really affect the market.
And then you're not going to incentivize the renovation of these units and the upkeep of these units.
Now you want to have fucking slumlords.
That's going to be next level slump.
That's if it's forever.
And also, I'll say like there's a lot.
Like we have friends growing up that had the, I had both situations.
I had friends that grew up that had rent control apartments and there were like people that were like hardworking, struggling, and the landlords were doing everything they possibly could to get them kicked out of there, like piece of shit landlords.
So we know those people exist 100%.
Absolutely.
Like I had a friend of my boy Carlos who ended up being a cop.
You guys have all met Carlos.
And like the landlord stopped accepting rent from the family so that they could eventually claim that they weren't paying rent.
Oof.
So what his family did, they were smart enough.
They just started paying putting the rent in an escrow and just kept it there.
And then they went to court and then they end up winning.
But like these, these fucking landlords will do anything to do it.
They'll buy some of these buildings, trying to buy them out.
So we know that there's a lot of scumbag landlords.
But there's also a lot of New Yorkers that have rent-controlled apartments and then they have a fucking place upstate.
Like I know a buddy of mine.
He had a rent control apartment.
It was in Brooklyn Heights.
And then he had a place upstate.
And that rent control part is not for you.
It's not for people that can afford another place.
And if the government knew that they had that other place, they would have kicked them out of that rent-controlled apartment.
So there are a lot of people with wealth that are taking advantage of this system as well.
So it's not just these landlords.
Yeah, but his solution is...
It's a fucking global intifada.
Right.
It's a global intifada.
Here's how I know.
Ibiza Party Plans00:05:41
He's good.
His dove don't even hate him.
His dove is like, I think he's all right.
And that's when I was like, this guy.
That means Dove's in on some massage project.
Bring him into the studio and you can talk to him and just see what he has to say.
If he passed Dove Sniff Test, Matt, he's good.
Al and I got a thousand dollar bets, though.
What's that?
On whether or not Al thinks he wins a general election, I don't think he wins a general election.
I mean, listen, nobody can win the general election without coming on flagrant.
So, obviously, if he wants to have the same outcome as to give you $1,000, got the last socialist that the socialists, the yin-yang twins, when the yin-yang twin was giving everybody a thousand bucks, right?
He was gaining a lot of steam because American, you know, New Yorkers were struggling, right?
So, not we, but you know, some many are struggling, so that seems really good.
And then you play it safe, and you know, you play prevent defense prevents you from winning.
Yeah, he's gonna come on.
So, you have an open seat to come on, but if you're gonna do it, quite a few unresponded to text messages, he'll come on, but so thousand dollar bet, yeah, done, yeah, no question.
He's not gonna win.
Here's what I don't think people, dude.
I think it was awesome watching the momentum.
He never had a target on his back, he didn't run with a target on his back because nobody saw him as a real threat.
So, he just got to talk his shit, be spiders.
He wasn't a baby in Gaza.
Like, why would he have a ton on his back, dude?
Talk that shit, Tonka.
Shelton goes high alone.
No, because Hamas has headquarters right under that baby, and you have no idea, dude.
Did you think that was a diaper station?
No, it was a fucking Amas headquarters, dude.
That's not Aquaphor, that's not Desert, that's not the things that you need for diaper ratchets.
That's all Amas headquarters right there.
Come on, dude.
Don't you know how they make bombs?
They use diapers, desert, and aquaphlo.
You mess it up together.
It's a fucking nuke.
We're going to take it out.
We got to take it out.
We're going to send Schultz on vacation.
I know, right?
Just think about it.
Tomorrow was Dove in Ibiza, huh?
Oh, my God.
This guy's come around.
Dude, Dove was so funny, dude.
This guy loves partying, dude.
Loves it, dude.
I never, I never, I don't even fuck with partying no more, dude.
What?
I don't fuck with it that much.
I like day parties.
Okay, that's a vibe.
I want to get drunk during the day, be sober by the time I go to sleep, wake up in the morning, play paddle.
Grown.
That's the like grown men partying.
I'm not trying to.
In Ibiza, everything is from three in the morning to seven in the morning.
Yeah.
Like, I'm talking to John Summit, you know, the DJ Johnson.
He's like, huge.
I'm like, yeah, I'm like, dude, and I was talking to this other DJ Fisher.
You guys know Fisher.
He's great.
They're amazing.
And I was like, fellas, I'm here.
I want to see your guys show.
Like, I'm excited to see your guy's shit.
Like, I want to see you guys.
You're at the mecca for partying.
So I'm like, it's different when you're at a club in Vegas.
Like, I want to see you when you're at what is the show like?
And they're like, yeah, I'm going on from three to seven.
I'm like, day party?
Like, what?
He goes, no, three to seven a.m.
I like.
I'm going to catch you in Vegas, my boy.
There's no fucking way.
I'm going to wake up at 6 a.m. and head over there.
Sunday.
You know, that's what a lot of people will do.
They take a little nap, wake up.
Yeah.
And then go.
That's the only way you can make it.
But yeah, I'm too old for the night parties, bro.
But your shit ain't starting at like 11.
Yeah.
But he loved it.
This motherfucker.
I'm just partying, dude.
There was one night where I was so tired because I have a child that I have to wake up.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Can I just tell y'all something?
Yeah, tell us.
I saw Andrew as a dad, by the way.
We flew back together, and it was really funny to watch someone torture him the way he tortures everyone else.
I said the funniest shit.
Oh, man.
And the baby was crying.
They were trying to, she was hungry, and poor girls just crying.
Shiloh, so beautiful.
Emma was so sweet.
She was like, I hope you guys don't mind.
I was like, it's the cutest thing in the world.
Anyway, Shiloh.
He's trying to hold off giving them milk until the plane takes off so the ears pop when they're drinking.
Oh, okay.
That's the idea.
Shiloh keeps crying.
Schultz going through it.
Schultz, you can tell, just struggling, saying anything he can.
I just put my head up over.
I said, Hey, it sounds like she gets grumpy when she's hungry.
Who do you think she got there from?
I had nothing.
No comebacks, nothing.
So, on the way out, so on the way out to Obiza, right?
We get on the plane, right?
Emma got Shiloh.
Everything's good.
I take a sleeping pill.
I'm like, I'm getting ahead of this shit.
I'm good.
I take a sleeping pill, right?
Take the sleeping pill, gulp, plane takes off.
I'm knocked out.
Two hours, I'm deep and asleep.
Two hours.
Attention, everybody.
There's a problem with the oxygen on the plane.
We'll be returning back to New York.
No.
I said, oh, no.
Two hours into a sleeping pill.
Oh, no.
Oh, no, Oh, no, Two hours into a sleeping pill.
This shit is just starting to kick in.
My wife is like, okay, I need your help with Le Shilo.
I'm like, I don't even know what she means.
Plus low oxygen.
I'm low oxygen and I'm on a sleeping pill.
I can barely stand up at this point.
We're two hours out.
We got to go two hours back.
Land.
Okay.
I am gone off the sleep.
I'm a zombie.
I can barely hold the baby.
I can't make the stroller, right?
I'm trying to fold the shoulder into the little part.
I can't do it.
I'm just like, yo, Zay, man.
Like, I can't even make sentences to ask for help.
I can't do anything.
It's like Leo and a Kwalu.
It's like, that's what it felt like.
Immigration and Community00:08:04
I go back, right?
We're just waiting for the hopefully the plane takes a whole plane.
So we talked to a girl, right?
Who like was a went to the show at Masses Square Garden?
We're like, yo, can you go check to see if the plane's actually going to take off?
Because sometimes they bullshit.
She's like, I got you.
She goes back there, comes back.
She goes, it's not happening to the morning.
Damn.
That get into Uber.
Look at the app.
15 minutes after we left, plane went the fucking front.
Bro.
It sounds like you and Dove might have been the problem on the plane, dude.
The two of you guys were sucking up all the oxygen.
They were like, oh, it would have been tough.
I texted him.
I said, how's Paris?
He said, we haven't left yet.
I said, what?
We were supposed to leave two days ago.
What's happening?
Oh, yeah.
No, it was brutal.
Oh.
You just asked a random lady, like, hey, give us intel on the plane.
No, I asked the lady of the flight.
But she worked there.
Yeah, she worked there.
Oh, fuck.
And she punked you.
Punk me.
But whatever.
We got back out there.
And then Obiza was fucking Biza was cool.
Have you guys been to Abiza?
Anybody ever?
It's like fire.
It's like, it's Mexico for Europe.
It's Europe's Mexico.
That's it's like everybody in Europe goes there.
They party.
A lot of Americans actually go there.
Like a lot of people that are from Miami and shit because it just gets so hot.
And you can go there.
It's like relatively cheap.
And what's cool about it is that it's Spain.
So they're not, Spain is not pretentious.
France is pretentious.
And there's good things that come with pretentiousness.
Like you can't be pretentious without having nice shit.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You gotta have nice shit to meet up with the pretentiousness.
Yes.
Yep.
Right.
So like we put up with their attitude because it's beautiful.
It's amazing.
Right.
Yep.
Yep.
Italy is like less pretentious than France, but still they got a little bit of, you know, Spain is no, Spain is no pretentiousness.
Like Spain, they're like, they're almost kind of Moroccans and shit.
Like they don't even really know what they are.
You know, it's everything's been so mixed and matched.
It's like, and there's zero pretentiousness.
So like there's never a moment where you feel uncomfortable, never a moment where you feel judged.
Like it's for that.
Is it as nice as in Italy or France?
No.
But like never feeling out of place or uncomfortable and always feeling like accepted and welcomed beats that in so many ways.
Does that make sense?
Yeah, of course.
But I always saw Ibiza as a big party destination.
Half party.
Half and half.
Half wellness.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
So half of the island that I heard, it's like, I didn't know it was so many Americans, but like people like Germans and like Denmark and all the, like all the party kids, they go there, they get, go on drugs, and then they party all the way in the morning.
And then the other side is just like older people with money who just want to chill.
It's like an original wellness place.
So going with the fam was great.
It was amazing.
It's amazing.
Traveling with a kid is the hardest thing that's ever been done in history.
I remember thinking about like D-Day when they like just dropped the door and like the fucking Germans started shooting and like the first 14 of them died.
And I was like, they don't even know what's like to travel.
There's nothing more difficult than traveling with a baby.
I mean that and I will stand by that for the rest of my life.
But once you're there with the baby, it's like it's fucking incredible.
Amazing.
I was going to try to join you guys.
I was in Barcelona.
Yeah, why didn't you come over?
I just couldn't get away.
We just had like so much stuff.
It was my shorty's birthday.
So a lot of family stuff, stuff that was planned.
Yeah, no, I was looking.
I saw like protests were going on for people for tourists in Barcelona because they're like against it because they're raising property taxes for the people who want to transplant over there.
And so there's just anybody who doesn't look like them, they're shooting them with water guns.
That's the way they're protesting.
Protest for tourists.
They're protesting Airbnb.
They like shut down all those Airbnbs.
Also, like literally, I had a conversation with a dude, like, and he was the captain of this boat.
We took a boat out one day and he was breaking down.
It was so funny because like he's like, I'm like, so what's going on?
Like culture?
Like, what's happening here?
Like, how do you guys feel?
It's like every country is the exact same problems right now.
They're just like immigration.
There's just so much immigration.
And we're not getting the good ones.
I'm like, who you getting?
He goes, he goes, he goes, ah, these Moroccans, man.
Just dove us at the front of the boat.
I was talking to somebody there.
It sounds like you're talking to an American when they're complaining about the damage.
It's the immigration.
Cost of living.
Cost of living.
Immigration.
Immigration.
No, I was looking for it.
I'm like, that's the best way to protest.
I was looking for the people shooting.
Oh, the water gun.
Yeah, because I'm like, that's the best way to protest.
It's a friendship.
But they said this.
They're like, a single left-wing government lets all of the Moroccans in because they know that they'll vote left-wing.
And I'm like, oh, I thought that was like a conspiracy in America.
Well, this is like what the whole world is feeling right now.
Or at least the Western world.
Dude, we got to be grateful for Mexicans, dude.
We live next to the best immigrants.
Dude, I literally said that to them.
I was like, you have to understand.
It's like how lucky we are.
I was telling that to that guy.
It's like, we have a country to the south and to the north, which are like so similar to us in terms of like culture.
We all pretty much believe in the same God, same morals, same value.
Like, yeah, there is going to be some issues with work and blah, blah, blah, that kind of stuff.
But it's not like they're coming in and like they don't immediately assimilate because there's not much to assimilate to.
Do you know what I mean?
They pop over, vote for Trump.
You have to teach him how to not.
Jesus.
Like you do with whom?
Say again?
Like you do with whom.
I don't know.
Fuck.
I don't know why I set him up in that.
I don't know.
No, no, no, no.
But yeah, that's, dude, one landmass.
Europe, Middle East, Asia, all one.
Like, we don't have that issue.
They got real diversity over there.
They divide them.
But it is interesting that people are having, I don't know, maybe it's a reflection of economic downturn and people are blaming it on immigration and you're just looking for a scapegoat for your problems, right?
Like maybe it's a little bit of everything.
But maybe there was a very ambitious like immigration policy.
Like maybe people had too much hubris.
Maybe they have too much confidence.
You know, it's like when you let few people in, they're forced to assimilate.
If you let big numbers in, there's really not a force.
I still have my community.
You have your community, so you don't really have to break free of that.
Like you see that in New York a lot of times.
Like you can go to Queens.
There's areas of Queens where like people have lived their entire lives.
They do not speak English.
Like they just speak Spanish.
You've been Colombian.
Everybody in your community is Colombian, et cetera.
There's no pressure.
If that community didn't exist, now there's a real pressure.
If you want to get a job, you got to speak the language.
You got to do these things.
I don't know.
But I was mentioning this is like an ancient, this is an ancient issue.
Talk to me.
You know what I mean?
Like the Spanish battling, like, you know, like North African, like, Muslim people living in Spain.
Yeah.
Like the more.
There's cities in Spain called, I think it's called Matsamoros.
It literally means more killers.
Moor killers, yeah.
There's whole cities named after, like, yo, this is where we killed all the Muslims.
Dude, if you go to cities that has the same name today, dude, go to the south of the south of Spain.
You're going to see tons of like these beautiful, like repurposed mosques and stuff like that.
Like the south of Spain is North Africa.
Yeah.
Like you're talking about like a boat ride, like nothing.
So you get why they're going there.
Like, yeah, dude, we're just taking it back.
Come back home.
Yeah, this famous problem to us.
How did they break home with that?
Dude, they had a they, I mean, they, this is, they had the Jews that were living all throughout Spain.
And then I think that it was like 1491, they elected Zoran Monday.
No, but they kicked the Jews out in 1491.
And then 1492, they came to America, got rich.
Historical City Names00:03:56
Isn't that crazy?
They went to find them.
They're like, yeah, where the fuck did they go?
You didn't explain the fractured reserve bacon before you left.
And we didn't keep one of you all.
Excuse me, please.
Explain how you make the more money after all of the money.
I don't understand.
You have $10, and how do you make it into $19 without making $9 more?
Damn, dude, it really is that.
They got rid of the Jews and they're like, we just need to go steal money from someone else.
Yeah, we can't make the magic.
We can't make Jew magic.
Or they got rid of the Jews, kept all their money, and they were like, let's build a navy.
That might have been another thing that happened.
Oh, my God.
Who was telling me about this?
I mean, this is shit.
Oh, who the fuck is telling me about this?
Oh, this did the when the Jews got kicked out of England.
Did you hear about this?
No.
They got kicked out of England for a coin clipping.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Did you hear about this?
So, like, what people do, why do they have the ridges on the end of coins, right?
Is because before they had the ridges, people would clip the end of the coins.
And they were made of the actual material.
They were actually made of like, so it wouldn't look different.
Yeah, yeah.
But you could get whatever.
And somebody asked them, they're like, well, didn't everybody just do that?
And somebody says, he goes, yeah, but they clipped the hardest.
Oh, my God.
You fucking told me that.
Zora Mondano.
That's my last one.
My last one.
I don't believe it.
No, I don't believe it.
Okay, this is bullshit propaganda.
From whom.
Dude.

Listen, you know, we don't play around when it comes to WWE, okay?
Obviously, I was, you know, sabotaged.
I was sabotaged at Madison Square Guard in my home by a Judas, someone who I thought was a friend.
You know, I honestly, I could take legal action probably against that.
You should, you know, but sometimes you got to take action in these streets.

Let's get back to the show.
We need to talk about your vacation.
We need to talk about your vacation.
Oh, dude, we went to Paris.
Paris is fire.
Yeah.
You just got to have someone to tell you where to eat.
Because if you go on your own, we went off a Google review and then my wife met with her friend and their husband was actually great.
We got into a fight with two people next to us.
It was a whole fucking thing.
At a restaurant?
Dog.
Strangers?
Yeah.
So we're at this restaurant.
It's like a fucking rainforest cafe.
My wife's friend makes a reservation.
She goes, it has good Google reviews.
And I'm like, that's a problem.
In Paris, in Rome, don't trust Google reviews.
It's a bunch of fucking idiots from Toledo being like, this is the best food I've ever had.
You don't know shit.
We go there.
It's $12 tacos and then also dumplings and then also basmati masala rice.
It's just like every cuisine in one thing.
I've never met these people.
I can't be like, where the fuck did you bring us back?
It's crazy.
But this is not a nice restaurant.
It's like I can tell.
The next table, exactly.
Next table, we are this close together, right?
My wife's friend is like a very bubbly person.
So like she gets a little loud, but like we've been loud at diners many times.
I know what loud is.
This ain't, it's just having fun.
Girl next to us goes, Hey, guys, guys, guys, can you quiet down, please?
She feels really bad.
I'm like, we don't say anything.
It's like, all right, fine, whatever.
We keep eating.
Then I'm talking and she says it again.
She's actually saying it to this girl, but I thought she's saying it to me.
She goes, guys, guys, guys, can you quiet down?
I go, no, I'm not doing that.
And then I start talking again.
I'm not trying to be on these people's side, but I'm.
Imagine you're trying to eat and you're just hearing diamonds, diamond, diamonds, diamond, diamonds, diamond, diamond, diamonds.
No, dude, my wife's friends are not even Indian.
Bullshit.
I'm lying.
I know it.
You know, so we stay true.
Come on, bro.
We stay true.
I already saw the Instagram.
I peeped.
I saw the Instagram story.
I peeped it already.
I was ready.
Okay, tell me.
Okay.
So she's the second time.
I just, I'm like, we're just going to shut this down.
I go, we're not doing that.
And then I start talking.
She starts yelling, putting her hand like close to my face.
Then my wife goes, Don't talk to my husband like that.
Don't put your hand in my husband's face.
And I'm like, Now we got a thing.
Yeah.
I know this is not going down for me.
Does she have a man with her?
No, it's another woman.
It's two friends.
You good?
Their friends are American.
They're French.
Okay.
But you're here at the fucking Rainforest Cafe.
The waitress is coming over in a printed t-shirt as her work uniform with a lizard on it.
This is not a nice place.
So my point is, like, now we're all kind of, and I'm like, look, you're at a place with 12 Euro tacos.
Don't pretend this is going to be quiet.
Yeah.
Like, you need to go somewhere else.
If you want a nice, quiet meal, y'all can go spend money.
She starts yelling back.
It doesn't work, guys.
She then, this fucking, this is like, this is some true care and shit.
She hits me, pokes me hard.
My wife goes, I'll slack the shit out of you, bitch.
Now it's a thing.
Now our waitress comes over, this dumpy looking bitch.
And she's like, what's going on?
And she, the other guys stand up, are like, yo, she just hit our friend.
And then the lady goes, what did he do?
I was like, and they go, they said we were being loud.
And the waitress goes, you were being kind of loud.
And I was like, this is crazy.
I'm sorry, but I love this.
So the friend goes, get the manager over here.
This lady's still screaming at me, still touching me.
I'm like, do not fucking touch me.
My wife is going nuts.
We can step outside.
This is a whole thing.
Then she starts staring down.
This other poor girl who was just being loud, but hasn't said anything this whole time.
She starts staring her down.
Her husband is like, is this bitch looking at my wife?
He gets in her line signed like this.
Full stare down.
Manager comes over and there's an empty table.
So my friend, who's pretty calm, the husband is like, just tell them to move down a table.
You can't hit somebody.
There's an empty table.
They can move down one.
And then the manager talks to them.
He comes over and he goes, I'm going to be honest.
You're right.
She's fucking crazy.
We're going to move them down a table.
Everything is cool.
The manager is a minority.
So he's not going to just, this white lady's obviously going to side with this.
But the manager was like, this lady's fucking nuts.
Oh, dude.
Also, the only type of French there is.
I didn't know.
Do you think the black people would be complaining about how loud they're saying that?
I just don't put color to them at all.
Miles is racist.
I was so racist.
He's like, you guys are eating in a jungle.
They're obviously.
I didn't put any color to them.
Then he said they're white.
I was like, oh, they are white.
Nah, Miles is pictured all this.
I know.
I know it.
I just didn't think about it.
Damn, Miles.
Damn, too progressive, bro.
You saw the French soccer team.
You're like, no, they're white.
I know.
French people are all black, obviously.
I just didn't even think of their color.
You didn't think of their colors?
I didn't even think I had to explain.
She's complaining about noise.
Who does that?
French people.
I just, like, it just seemed very European.
I don't know.
Anyway, keep going.
So what's true?
Alexander Hamilton's actually black.
I need to know.
I feel like you saw her.
Nah, he wasn't.
So eventually they moved down.
Everything was cool.
But the craziest thing is while she's complaining, and then my friend is like, yo, she hit our friend, whatever.
Her friend goes, he hit her first.
I said, are you?
I go, are you fucking mind, bitch?
I'll get arrested if you say that.
And she just goes, you're right.
I'm sorry.
And it was like, that's an insane thing to throw out there.
And then just be like, you're right, my bad.
I love these two women.
She pumped this shit out of you.
You ain't do shit.
What I'm going to do.
I'm going to knock her out.
Knock that French bitch out.
Practically men.
They don't shave and shit.
Fuck her.
Bro, you hit him with a house.
How can she slap?
Son, I really wanted to.
I really wanted to.
Yeah, your wife should have smacked the shit out there.
Yeah, she should have.
She said she'll do it and then she kept touching her.
No, no, no.
She's freaking out, dude.
My wife's freaking out.
We got to calm this.
We're international.
You don't get arrested here.
We just got a Birken.
Don't press your luck.
Sit the fuck down.
But as soon as she said, don't talk to my husband like that.
I was like, here we go.
She fucked up.
They ended up moving down, and then I was just intentionally louder for the rest of the meal.
Every laugh was just get back.
Damn.
She fucked the shit out of you.
She fucked me.
She moved down.
She said she bushed you, bro.
She moved.
Yeah, she books you out the legs.
She moves you out the legs.
And they calmed her meal because they had to sit next to fucking Hindustan.
I was like, y'all could cop this fucking 13-year-old meal.
Y'all should have brought out a hookah in the middle of the dinner, bro.
Put your own hookah on the table, started hitting it, blowing into her face.
That's how you teach them a lesson about a global globalist.
No.
What are they called?
The globalists, yeah.
No, no, it was a fucking, it was a real nightmare.
Next meal was great.
We distrusted the hotel concierge.
That was great.
Yeah, just let the concierge tell you.
Yeah.
What day did you get there?
I'm just curious.
What day did you get there?
Wednesday.
Wednesday.
Because there was like a big festival going on in Paris.
Oh, it was the day after they injected all those people.
Yeah.
I read that story and then we left that night.
It was just like block parties everywhere.
And then there was, I heard it was your people.
They were injecting people.
They would say some shit like that.
Yeah, they were.
I was trying to watch.
Indians, Indians?
They said Asians, but they referred to them as Asians.
No, is that true?
I saw almost no Indians when I was in Paris.
I saw a few.
Really?
Yeah, I looked for them.
But you're probably going to lock in more.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a lethal combination, though.
Indian and French.
You can't be doing that shit, bro.
I don't even know.
You can't be too intention.
You can't be doing that shit.
Come on.
You just came to his house.
You can't have his assistant.
That's too much.
That's too much.
None of these Parisian smell.
I didn't smell that shit.
Thank you.
Thank you, Arkash.
You just write yourself.
No, I'm saying that.
No, I'm not going to lie, though.
Paris smells like shit.
French women are the hottest.
It's unbelievable.
They're the hottest.
Unbelievable.
Spanish women are the sexiest.
This is something that people need to really put some respect on Spain's game.
Like, when you go to like, when we talk about like Latinas are hot and all this other shit, that is just Spain.
Spain gave them all that hot shit.
Spain mixed with indigenous and black.
Yeah, I don't know if I've ever seen four indigenous bitches walking down the street and be like, well, they got some real fucking sex appeal.
No, I'm saying the mix.
It's the mix that makes them hot.
No.
Yes, it is.
It watered it down a little.
It watered it down.
The sex comes from Spain.
Spain, they're the sexiest, but French, I think it's beautiful.
It's an age thing.
You need to be a little older to appreciate the French girl because they're not like, you know, how like a British girl will be like tons of makeup, like sits out.
Like, it's just like, it's like a, it's like a serving like buffet type of thing.
Yeah.
They're just straight elegance.
Yes.
Elegance, beauty.
They look naturally beautiful.
The most elegant women, yeah, the most beautiful women on the planet, you know, obviously outside of our wives or are it's French.
It's French women.
It's insane how beautiful.
But the sexiest, what I will say this about Ibisa also, I forgot to mention this.
Ibiza, you're not going to see the 10 out of 10s.
The 10 out of 10s are in the south of France or they're on the Amalfi coast or something like that.
It's like you're in the six to eight range.
Okay, this is this is gross what I'm doing right now.
But we got to get it out now before we're all wearing Burka.
Like we're not even going to be able to objectify women.
What's gross, objective women?
So six to like eight, maybe 8.5 is are the girls in Ibisa, but they'll have like fake tits.
They'll have like a hand tattoo.
They'll have all that kind of shit.
Fuck is really hand tattoos.
No, no, nothing's wrong with it.
Do you know how that?
It's such a specific tattoo in your webbing.
What is it like from an Aerosmith video?
Okay, the point is that the beauty.
Okay, so you have this place that's not pretentious, and every girl you see, you think you can sleep with.
Ooh.
When you're going to the, when you're at like, every girl's just a fucking six-foot dime.
Yeah.
You're not exactly going like, oh, yeah, I'm definitely getting laid tonight.
Anywhere you go, you're like, I could get laid.
So I think that there's that crazy added value.
It's like you don't feel out of place and every girl feels like attainable.
That's a no-brainer.
And you're just being objective.
What?
Wait, what?
I fired out my pussy button.
That smells like bearish, dude.
And I'm just being objective, obviously.
That's how a lot of women are.
Is that you, you're being objective.
That's how my wife is.
I'm looking at all these other women like they're eight.
See?
Smart.
That's good.
That's good.
That's fine.
When I was in France, I was like, where'd my wife at?
Where'd you go?
Yo, my wife.
Oh, this is a good story.
Well, this boat, the captain of the boat takes us to this beach, right?
Pulls up.
It's not even like a beach.
It's just some like random private shit, right?
Two dudes on the fucking on the rocks, butt ass naked, jacked, dicks out, huge.
Whoa.
Huge dicks.
Like so big we could see how big they were.
What color are you picturing?
Migrants.
Go, I didn't even know I bezo's in Spain.
So I'm white guys.
Beautiful bodies.
Amazing asses.
Huge dicks.
Like, and when I say huge, it's like things from afar don't look that big.
Like a lighter, a lighter from afar, you can't even see it.
It didn't look like a lighter.
It looked like the candle, right?
Like it was fucking big.
And my wife and Jason's wife think that they're going to like get us back.
They're like, oh, well, what if we talk about their bodies, right?
Yeah.
We love talking about dicks.
Like, this is like our favorite thing to talk about dicks.
Let's talk about.
They're like trying.
They're like, oh, look how big their dicks are.
And we're like, they're huge.
Let's go closer.
I haven't seen a dick soft that big in forever.
Tie the boat up to it.
Yes.
Like we loved it.
They are so frustrated that them objectifying guys' dicks didn't drive us crazy.
But we looked at it as a permission slip.
So now the next day we're like, we got to look at the Jimmy Chongas.
The Simmy Chongas are tits.
Look at these French women's dicks.
French dicks.
And let me tell you, there was a lot of tits.
And there was about 15 minutes of that.
And then my wife shut that shit down.
You get a couple of guys.
Oh, did me with the, I feel rejected.
Like, you don't love me.
That kind of shit.
Just because I'm looking at some gigantic girls' tits.
Yeah.
Yeah, come on.
That's silly.
Yeah.
I love you so much.
You're just being objective.
When you go to a museum, you look at one painting?
No.
No.
You don't touch the paintings.
You can't steal them.
You can't touch them.
No.
You can't take them with you.
But you sit in front of them and you jerk off all over them because that's why they have the plastic.
That's how they make the Jackson Pollock.
Yes.
That's where it came from.
Yeah.
There's impressionist art and then modern art.
Like a PETA protester, too.
That's a great PETA protester.
Just fucking jerk off.
That is a good PETA protest.
Why is there white paint all over the Spain, dude?
That is fucking smart.
Not in Mona Lisa.
The model's walking down the runway.
They're wearing the fur.
You start jerking off on them.
Oh, you want animal products?
This seems like a horrible thing.
Maybe we do need a Muslim rule.
Maybe we've gone too far.
Maybe we do need to expand the caliphate.
Maybe we need, not a global intifada.
What does the have we figured out?
Regional Intifada.
We're regional.
Regional, yeah, block by block intifada.
Block by block intifada.
Yeah.
Stopping for a scandifada.
What did you do on vacation?
No vacation.
I went to Portland for shows and then I went to a prison with Jelly Roll.
Oh my God.
He texted the group chat this yesterday.
I was like, what the fuck is Mark up to?
I was in Portland.
Did you perform?
He asked me to.
He asked me.
So I'm in Portland.
He just messaged me.
He's like, yo, Bubba, I'm in Portland.
Regional Intifada Ideas00:17:17
I was like, let's fucking go.
So I went to the Portland Trailblazers training facility.
I watched them play basketball.
I was like, he didn't join in.
No, I was like, you guys got it.
You guys can keep it.
And Jelly Roll's just an angel of a human being.
I love him so much.
He's the best.
He's also so skinny now.
Yeah, he's losing.
Every time I see him, it's just half of the jelly roll.
He's not even a full jelly roll.
Yeah.
He looks amazing.
And then I was about to prison right now.
He goes, hey, you want to go to the prison tomorrow?
I go, yeah, let's do it.
And he goes, do you want to do five minutes?
I was like, nah, I'd rather not.
And he's like, no, no, you got to do it.
You just please.
And so if we show up, I'm like going through the set.
I'm like, what do I do?
I was like, oh, fuck.
I was like, my opening would just be like, look, guys, I'm not going to pander you, motherfuckers.
With that being said, I think you're all innocent.
Okay.
That was just a good opening joke.
And so we show up at the thing.
Immediately, they're like, you can't wear your shorts.
You look like a prisoner.
I was like, what?
Like, yeah, you're wearing blue denim shorts.
That's what all the prisoners wear.
You can't wear this.
I was like, oh, fuck.
So I put on different pants.
And then we go inside.
And then they're like, the union boss said that they can't do comedy, only music.
And I was like, whew.
So then I just stood there.
The prison is like 500 dudes deep.
This is like the big event of the year.
They're so excited.
A lot of these guys are in there for life.
A lot of these guys were on death row for like 30 years.
And then they recently commuted their sentences of banned death row in Oregon.
I'm not doing that.
So now it's me and just a bunch of dudes.
They are unfortunately.
Nothing to lose.
Unfortunately, the nicest guys ever.
Yeah, they are.
They haven't seen a pretty bitch in their prison like you.
Are you kidding me?
You come with those locks?
Those guys were stroking good night.
They're going to start protesting all over.
Real good.
They were about to protest.
They were phenomenally nice.
Jelly's on stage.
I'm just chatting with these dudes.
I didn't realize.
There's no security around you.
No.
Eight of these guys.
I'm just hanging in the mosque with all the prisoners.
They're so nice.
And Jelly starts singing.
He hits Save Me.
The whole yard is singing Save Me Together.
They gotta be crying.
I'm crying.
Everyone's crying.
It's me, a bunch of prisoners just all sobbing, crying.
I did whatever the opposite of Scared Straight is.
It's like, I went in there.
I was like, I could do this for a while.
These guys are pretty cool, dude.
And so I just hung in there.
I cried like a baby and I left.
And Jelly was like, all right, Baba, that's it.
And then they took a private jet and flew off.
That was like the whole day.
I just got sunburned with a bunch of prisoners talking about their life stories and crying.
It was outside.
Yeah.
Damn.
Yeah, dude.
You could have died, bro.
They could have killed you.
Yeah.
Probably.
Yeah.
Like, nothing to lose.
You got life, nothing to lose.
And you walk in, you know.
Why would they kill him?
Well, I would say a lot.
A lot of these guys with life, they got in their little program.
They got the Life First program where they take care of the prison.
They run the whole yard.
They set up the whole event themselves and they organize everything internally, just give the information over to the warden.
And they're like, yeah, we're going to do this.
This is how we organize it.
So they're probably good.
Keep them busy.
They got a bunch of autonomy.
They got like a Zen garden.
They got a healing garden.
There's all this stuff.
Anybody try to.
Wait, what'd they have in the Zen garden?
They just had like this beautiful garden.
It was immaculate.
Bonsai?
All sorts of shit.
Oh, dog.
I'm worried.
I'm better than regular people living in Portland.
Hold on, hold on one second.
Because I've recently become very interested in bonsai.
Yeah, you're really.
What's concerning is this?
And he's a green thing.
He texted me, son.
I think I'm getting into bonsai.
I was like, are you okay, dude?
Son, I needed some relaxation, bro.
I'm stressed.
I'm traveling with a baby.
And then all of a sudden, a bonsai video came up on my feet.
I'm like, these are the most majestic plants I've ever seen in my life.
I'm just staring at it.
I'm just feeling relaxed.
Yeah, dude.
Don't get you all right.
No.
Son, that's what I said.
I said it was a crisis text.
I'm having a midlife crisis, but like not in the way where I buy like crazy cars and stuff.
Yeah.
You know, it's in the way where I think about purchasing a bonsai and then killing it.
Yeah, yeah.
He's finding a way to make the trunk really thick.
Brooklyn Botanical Garden, they have 300-year-old bonsai.
I know.
You can go see them.
I know all of them.
I know all of them by name.
I know how much money they are.
And I know how long they've been growing them.
These things for generations they grow these things.
This guy saw one Spanish collection.
He was like, I need a bonsai.
Let me tell you something.
He texted me that too.
Like, have them sell me.
Oh, it's living art.
It's a living art.
Can I tell you one thing about the bonsai?
Is that if trees can feel things.
Son, I said the same.
If you used to be in New York, what the fuck is he telling me?
We have to prepare for a new New York.
If trees feel like Fern Gully, like they actually have feelings, this is the most cruel thing that's ever existed.
If trees have feelings, the Japanese should be bombed again and again and again and again.
It's a miniature of Nan King every day.
Every day they peel the skin off of them.
They cut the limbs.
They put them in pots that are way too small for their size, like it is.
But seeing something small that looks ancient, right?
Like a midget with a beard is exciting.
You like look at it and you're like, you're like entranced.
There's wisdom.
I'm not entranced by it.
No, it is.
Can I just take you on a bonsai journey?
Yes.
Yes.
Because they have at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens.
They have a bonsai section.
We can go.
And I would love to take you and I'd love to help you relax there.
I think you'll have the best sleep you've ever had in your life.
Okay.
I am willing to do this.
You will.
Do me a favor.
We stop.
On the way there, on the way back.
Let's have some therapy sessions, you and me.
I would love because I don't think everything is okay.
I need therapy.
I need to talk about a lot of issues.
Yeah.
But I'm going to put it all away to the side, and I'm going to get into bonsai.
I think that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to do what men do.
Okay.
I'm not going to confirm my problems.
How many things can you paddle?
Bonsai.
At what point do you just never enough?
Let's just work.
It's never enough.
This one might be the one, dude.
It might be the one.
I think it's the one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I think this one fixes.
It's so beautiful, these bonsai trees.
They're not all of them.
I prefer a pine, like a Japanese pine.
But yeah.
I'm sorry.
Is that funny to you?
Yes.
It's horrifying to me, actually.
Why don't you bring one bonsai up and see if it doesn't relax every motherfucker on this couch right now?
Bring up one fucking bonsai tree.
Dude, I think they have some of these ones.
That one right there.
Yep.
Oh, look at that.
Look at the root structure.
Look how thick those bottles, those trunks are.
Do you know how difficult it is to get that trunks?
You have to wire the branches, force them to grow in certain ways.
Then you clip the wires.
I mean, Alex, yo, pray for Schultz, bro.
I can't have interest.
I can't have interest.
You got enough.
You got enough.
You got a baby.
What are my interests?
I have a baby.
I spend every waking moment I can avoid her.
I swear to God, he was texting me this, and I was like, to my wife, I was like, dude, I think Schultz needs help.
Like, I need to be there for you.
I have to find out who I can text.
Because I texted to Uyeda, and he's like, dude, all I want to do is retire and do bonsai.
That's because he's Japanese, darling.
Don't be born, dude.
He's going back home.
Of course he feels that way.
Yeah, but okay, can I appreciate other cultures and can I appreciate what they've given us?
Yeah, bonsai like you guys think about cows or whatever.
Like just you embrace them, you let them live.
You don't just like chop them apart and they treat them cruelly, like you said.
Well, it depends.
You also starve them.
So maybe it's not.
Have you ever seen a cow in India?
Have you ever seen a person in India?
Yes, I have.
They don't get food sometimes.
Yeah, it is true.
Look how beautiful that tree is.
Jesus.
So balanced.
I don't get it.
Windswept.
See, imagine if you were just in prison, this is what you could do all day.
Right?
That's what I thought about it.
You listen to Jelly Roll, you work on your bonsai.
It's pretty sick.
I've thought about it.
But then I don't get to see my little chicken.
No, you get visitation.
Yeah, but not enough.
It's once a day.
It's broken.
It's not enough.
Oh, look at them.
Look at how majestic they are.
Look at the roots.
Dude, when Schultz retires, it's going to be so funny how much he changes.
Do oldest bonsai.
I'll tell you quickly.
The second there is like an adult paddle tour that I can be competitive at.
The XFL of paddle.
It's over.
It's over.
I'm retiring.
Okay.
He's going to grow his hair.
You can just start this.
He's going to vote for Mamdani.
It's going to be old.
He's going to be very Zen.
I cannot wait to vote for Mamdani and then move to Florida.
Cannot wait to do this.
I don't love that one.
Scroll down, scroll down.
Oh, God.
What's the oldest one?
Oh, look at it.
Oh, my God.
Look at that room.
Those guys have been tending it for thousands of years.
That's cool.
So the oldest one, the oldest one is like a few hundred years old.
Bro, this one's estimated to be a thousand.
I don't believe it.
I think there was one in Hawaii.
There was one in Maui, I think.
And what's that place?
Lanai or whatever.
I think there was one, like, really old bonsai tree.
Yeah, Lanai.
Yeah.
Beautiful.
I mean, look at that.
This is, these have been passed down for generations.
You have to upkeep these.
How big is that thing?
Probably a couple feet.
They do make bigger ones.
Those are a little bit more impressive, but they're not as special, some might say.
You're going to pass this down?
No.
You're going to die with it?
No, I'm going to free it like Jefferson did with his slaves or whatever.
Once I die, the bonsai can then go be a tree as it wants.
But I'm going to make it a little teacupoodle for the you have a bonsai.
Your little dog?
That's a bonsai.
Yeah, yeah.
You realize we like little things, right?
So they mutated the dog.
You have a bonsai that sits and shits and peas.
I'll just get one that doesn't.
Yeah, but that can cuddle with you.
Like, it says you.
This doesn't function.
Not everybody needs cuddles.
Not everybody needs that.
Sometimes you just want to look at something beautiful.
I don't get it.
There's a wonderful lesson in here.
I'm worried about it.
You're going to pass this on to your family.
They're going to be like, oh, all right.
Listen, I do think you should be worried about me, but outside of that, look at that juniper.
I think that juniper goes down, scroll down.
I think the juniper is going to be beautiful.
Oh, I hate it.
Keep going.
I like that.
That's something modern.
Keep going, keep going, keep going the other way, That's number one.
We got to number one.
Oh, wow.
Just majestic.
Thousand years old.
Truly majestic.
That root structure, where does it go?
Look at that.
500 years old.
500, Al.
Yes.
How many generations?
One Japanese generation.
One Japanese guy is 500 years old.
Okay, so you went to prison and then you did some shows in Portland.
Yeah, it was wonderful.
But they were fun.
Oh, they were great stuff.
Portland actually has a great comedy scene.
Fantastic.
Dude, it had every type of mix of person you can imagine.
You had like the non-gendered native barista, and then there's just like a Mexican MAGA guy just sitting hand in hand.
It was beautiful.
No, that was a great.
A lot of times, these like super like liberal cities, the comedy scene doesn't necessarily reflect that.
It's like a rebellion against it, and they have awesome, awesome comedy scenes.
Yeah, and Jelly was awesome, and the prison was awesome.
It was honestly a great weekend.
I love it.
It makes me very happy.
Now, listen.
Is Jelly performing also?
Or he just was at the arena with Postman the night before, and then the next day he goes to the prison, doesn't film anything, doesn't tell them about it.
I love that.
He's the best guy.
He went last year and he was like, I'm coming back for you guys.
And he came back and they're like, we can't believe you came back.
Wow.
It was the only event that they do all year.
Because everybody forgets about them.
You have a friend that goes to jail for a long period of time and it's just exhausting to keep in touch.
That's what it is.
They make it hard intentionally.
Yeah.
They do.
They have to punish them.
That means it can't be a fucking slumber party every weekend, right?
Yeah, one stock 9.
Yeah.
There should be bonsai trees and jelly roll concerts.
I think.
I mean, sometimes they give them cats.
You've seen that?
Yeah.
No.
You give the prisoners cats.
That's fire.
Yeah.
It's just like a little flashlight.
You could.
Sorry, Tom.
Sorry, Tom.
Tom, sorry.
It's too soon.
It's too soon, Tom.
I want everybody to put out a little bit of R.I.P. Tom lost his cat.
That was his ringtone.
Shout out Taters.
I want everybody to go wish Tom Cassetta's cat a wonderful 10th life or whatever.
Yeah.
What is it?
Yeah.
Oh, you don't get 10th life.
Well, the 10th life is the afterlife.
Yeah, exactly.
So, Tom, we love you.
Love you, Tod.
Tom?
All right, Pete, Tators.
He's crying right now.
You can leave it.
Tom, now's the time.
Thanks.
Mid-tears, dude.
Sorry, Tom.
Okay, guys, we have a very special guest because I want to talk about, like, we got to talk about this fights this weekend.
There's a big fight.
A street fight.
Street Fighter.
Oh, there's also that.
Oh, I was talking about something else.
But yeah, shout out Street Fighter.
He was talking about Odyssey getting fucked up on a French pill.
Rumble in the jungle.
There's no way you hit this woman?
No, but my girl would have stuffed the shit out of her.
She's one inch.
Shut up.
None of our girls are doing anything.
She's tough.
None of our girls.
I know, I know.
We have a fighting expert that can discuss all things fighting.
I think we need to bring it.
Let's talk about the UFC fights.
Then we can talk about Street Fighter, man.
Shout out everybody that was excited about that.
Thank you, everybody, who made memes and stuff.
You know, official flavor memes was killing us.
Jay was killing us.
But yeah, man, that's going to be really exciting.
So I want to talk about that a little bit.
But right now, we have to talk about this UFC fight.
So let's bring in an expert, someone who knows a little thing or two about it.
You're allowed for the motherfucking champ!
The champ is in the building.
What's good, bro?
How are you doing?
What's up?
What's up, baby?
What's happening?
Good to see you, brother.
My boy, come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Jam gets the big C. Jam gets the big C.
Yeah, Jam gets the big C. How are you doing?
Good.
Congrats, my man.
Okay, listen.
Thank you.
We want to talk about everything that we've been up to, obviously.
But like, you were at the fights.
Yes, I was this weekend.
And where were they, by the way?
Vegas.
They were in Vegas.
Okay.
International Fight Week usually always in Vegas.
Okay.
So that was a pretty fucking good card, dude.
Like, I want to get a little, you know, also, is your trainer here, by the way?
The guy who fucks the Asian girls, the Saigon Joe.
I forgot about that.
Saigon Joe.
Dude, Bonsai Billy, dude.
No, he's not in.
Where is he?
Straight to Champion.
Back home.
Okay.
Okay, so you were at the.
Did you watch the what do you think about this Jonathan Van kid?
Joshua Van.
Joshua Van.
Sorry, Joshua.
Sorry, Joshua.
What do you think about him?
That was like the first proper fight that I watched.
I heard good things and then seen a couple of highlights.
I'm like, oh, man.
Did you watch him three weeks ago when he fought?
I ended up seeing the highlights of that.
But then I knew how good Roy Valley.
But then I end up picking Joshua Van just because I'm just like, man, just momentum right now.
Just on a tear.
I'm like, I think he's going to get it done.
You know, big, big week, International Fight Week.
He'll just turn it on.
And, oh, man, did they turn that on?
How was that, mate?
I reckon that's probably the best fight I've ever seen.
Dude, it was unbelievable.
I mean, if you haven't seen it, like, I recommend watching it because, and I'm excited to talk to you about it specifically because what I thought that he did so well, and this is something that you've had to do well in your career, is like timing, timing, timing.
He's not a tall guy and he doesn't have long arms.
Like, you actually have a lot of reach.
I think that's what people don't realize about you.
Yeah, we'll get back to that.
Okay, okay.
But like his ability to counter.
First of all, almost the entire fight was just striking and very few kicks thrown.
And it was this like impeccable timing and counters that he was doing.
And Roy Vall's long, kind of tall for the division.
Like quick jab.
But like, what were you seeing with this Van kid?
Like, that's why I can't wait to watch it back like strategically.
Yeah, well, yeah, just watch it on like a TV, you know, and they'll give you all the better camera angles.
But exactly what you were saying.
Joshua Van, especially early, he was like, oh, he was just waiting.
He's patient.
And Roy Vall was using that jab, doing that very nicely.
And they're just waiting for the right time to go.
Or when he did decide to go first, he was really good at still bridging the gap.
As you were saying, he is short, but he knows, he understands the distance.
If he wants to jab his way in or when he wants to commit, he does the work for me when he comes in.
I'm going to make him pay.
And he's quick.
He can just do it.
Like mid-combo, the guy's fine.
He's just going, boom, boom, already.
Free piece, like halfway through.
Great balance.
Oh, mate, it's incredible.
And then, even his uh, when he chose to go forward or go first, he did a great job of even bridging the gap.
To you know, how he was he doing to close the gap when he was just a bridge rather than me just stepping with as you did a bit of boxing back foot and you're just sort of stepping that front foot in.
Yeah, bridging's gonna be more of a leap.
You're gonna leap everything, so your whole base has to go further.
Yeah, I'm that little bit further back, so just me stepping with a normal jab is gonna pull short.
Yeah, but uh, you bridge the gap, we call it.
So, that's uh, you literally bridge your whole body, both both feet just stepping in, yes, yeah.
So, both feet end up getting right where you want to be, so you can fire the big shots as well.
So, this thing was always well balanced, like you said, throwing boxes.
It was so, it was so like so much fun to watch.
The guy's on three weeks' notice, right?
He had a big fight three weeks ago, won it in spectacular fashion, and then I think he like broke his toe.
Nobody said anything about it, which I like.
I know all you guys fight injured, so it is what it, but it is cool after the fact, like when someone wins, to acknowledge injuries, yeah.
But, um, a thing I've noticed that's different, obviously, from MMA and boxing is like boxing is closer because you don't have to worry about the legs, right?
So, the fight is a little bit closer, like MMA is there's a little bit more distance, yeah.
So, when you are bridging the gap, like you said, when you're committing, you're really putting yourself in the lion's den, which you have to do because everybody you fight is fucking six feet tall.
Exactly, but like, so when I'm watching, when I was watching these guys like manage that distance, I saw something I thought was really cool.
You know, a lot of times in boxing, you'll see like a pull counter.
Like, Floyd was magnificent at this, right?
MMA Fight Strategy00:15:43
Like, a jab comes in, you'll embrace the jab, you'll even kind of step back a little, not even step back, but like lean back and then throw the right on top.
It looked like Van was moving into the jab, yeah, like he wasn't even stepping back.
And I imagine, like, in your career, you've had to kind of submit to that situation as well, where it's like the only way you're closing that gap is if you're moving into the punch that's coming at you.
Yeah, well, uh, it depends on who you got.
Like you were just saying with him, he did a great job of still being in a position where he could, you know, hope that jab misses or whatever it is.
But you're right, he would usually throw, I think, from what I remember, it was like a hook, even yeah, um, as uh, he was throwing the jab, boom, and there just would be like a free piece as he was coming in, which was pretty impressive to land a hook in that sort of uh you know, where he was positioned.
But uh, with myself, like with the last you're making money, bro.
Okay, okay, I thought you had the rest of me, okay.
But but uh, for me, like with the last one, I had uh Diego Lopez who's very similar, where he won't like he won't even try and dodge your your punch and he's swinging, he's stepping.
If most people that want to counter, they're gonna try and slip the punch and fire at the same time, if that makes sense.
Where he was just uh, I'm just gonna, as soon as you go, I'm just all offense, I don't care about defense one bit, which makes them dangerous, but obviously they can be hit, but he had a good chin.
Where I just felt like Joshua Van did a great job of you know, just waiting for Tuli Val, yeah, yeah, really committed and then was able to sort of counter.
They weren't too far, like when you were saying with the distance.
I try not to get too technical, no, be technical.
Yeah, but with uh, the range, sometimes the MMA, they go that little bit further, yeah, but because Roy Val likes the boxing, he was like trying to just stay just out of that boxing range, you know.
And but Joshua Van did a great job of uh just making making everything he threw count at the right time, and then it would look like the round was getting away from him, and then he and then he would go and just like finish it at the end of the third, like almost finish them.
Okay, and then you've got to watch that fight anyway, yeah, you gotta watch it.
And then, of course, obviously, the Tapuria, your boy.
Have you watched, do you watch those fights?
Like when you get it, what is that like for you?
Like when you, I don't even, I don't even know how to ask you these questions.
Like when you get caught, yeah, like what is that when you're re-watching it?
Can you watch it?
Can you separate yourself from it and just look at it technically and be like, ooh, I shouldn't have.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
That's the only way I sort of look at it.
Like, obviously, you understand Ilya's power, but with that fight you're talking about, or even with the Islam fight, the second one with the two knockouts, I just look at, you know, man, like, you know, I should have done this, should have done that.
It's pretty obvious to me anyway.
So it's the second Islam fight, I feel like your hands here.
And he like clips like the top.
I'm not saying he earned that position.
He earned that knockout.
But to me, that was like, I'm not, it's not luck at all.
It's skill, et cetera.
But I would say positioning wise, it's not like you were like grotesquely out of position in that moment that you got caught.
Well, no, exactly.
Well, the difference with that fight and the first fight, like I will try and like I was being a bit more clever when I wanted to get into range and I didn't want to just walk forward on the first fight or in the second fight, you know, short notice, very, very short notice.
So I was like, all right, I can't just sit back and, you know, sort of just wait around and win rounds.
I don't, you know, I'm not going to win five rounds against Islam right now.
I didn't back myself because I didn't have the camp.
It was 11 days.
So I'm like, cardio-wise, cardio-wise, I'm like, I'm not, you know, I'm not going to win a five-wide decision against Islam.
Well, the chances are a lot slimmer because I'm not going to be as fit as I was.
So you're not going to get him out of there.
So that's what I wanted.
So I was like, all right, I'm going to press.
That's why I'm going to come into range.
So it means I'm going to be in range to be hit more.
I knew that he would be kicking.
I knew he would spam the kicks, especially because I was going to come forward like that.
And even when he was kicking, I knew he was going to still go up your eye.
So I knew that was going to come.
But it was just what I hated about that is, because I told myself, and this is, I guess, how I am.
And I guess you need this sort of mindset and be able to do this.
Like, whatever decision I make, that's it.
I'm locking.
I'm going to, you know, I'm going to talk.
I'm committing to that.
Yeah.
And I'm going to tell myself and I'm going to believe it.
And I'm going to be delusional in a sense where that's all right.
I could be like, this is going to be the most dangerous I've ever been because I'm going out there to take his head off.
You know, I haven't had a camp.
You know, I reckon this makes me more dangerous.
And I believed it.
And then I go out there and I couldn't even pull the trigger.
And when I say, oh, I couldn't pull the trigger, right?
I'm like sitting there and I'm like, it makes sense, right?
You didn't have like much of a camp, barely any sparring.
Yeah.
You know, and then you saw your timing's just not going to be there.
So I wanted to be like, I'm going to be in his face and then just let the hands go and I'll catch him.
So while I was there, and then I just could not let him go.
So here I am.
I just felt like I'm just standing in front of him waiting for something to happen, right?
And then he was going body.
I'm like even telling myself he's going to go high.
He's going to go high.
Wait for it.
And then still just next minute.
I'm like, oh, fuck.
You know, like I was still, it's weird because I was gone, but knew exactly what was happening.
Did you have the vision wobble?
No, no, not really.
It was like, I don't know if it was sort of went dark and then it was a loud noise.
I remember just like this weird noise like that.
And I remember, it's hard to explain.
But then I've known, oh no, I'm rocked.
Like I remember, I'm like, no, no, no, try and survive, survive.
Next minute I'm on the ground, like try and survive.
I don't think my body was doing what I wanted to do.
Yeah.
And then I'm just wobbling.
But it's, but yeah, that's the game we play.
Yeah.
You know, and then, all right, I'm getting real technical today, aren't I?
But with the flight, yeah, tipporia flight, I, yeah, you know, come, it was a quick turnaround.
You know, I probably shouldn't have went into that fight so quick.
You know, you start, that was a proper concussion after the Islam war.
Yeah, you got to take a little time.
So that's already easy.
Especially with a guy who can crack.
Exactly right.
So you should be letting the head rest.
And not only that, even me trying to get back in dream.
Did everything right, like in a sense where we made sure everything that was like, you know, made sure we did the steps to move forward.
But even when I first started getting back into camp, oh, here I am watching, I need to be careful of getting caught, I don't want to get hit.
So you're already going into Camp Bad Habits, yeah.
And then a month or two later, you're fighting someone, and then you could even just see the way the way I'm fighting.
I just look back at that and be like, ah, I felt more, it felt more cautious, like you were in and out.
I wanted to go and then I'd go on the oh dude, you know, it's like either go or don't go, or if you're all right, if you're worried about it, shoot for the takedown then.
Why are you like second-guessing halfway through?
Because you put yourself in a worse position and be like, I better get the fuck out of here.
And what adjustments did you make in your next fight after Taporia?
Well, that's a good question.
So luckily, I drilled so much of because it's not like Diego Lopez doesn't hit hard.
Yeah, man.
And like we said, like how he fires, right?
He's just going to sit on him.
So a lot of good luck drilling.
We had to do like really good drilling.
So I was lucky enough to have the team that I did around me for take extra time off this time to make sure you're not in that mentality.
I had a massive break, biggest break I've ever had.
You know, I took that real serious and then had a massive camp.
So I did a you know, I went above and beyond.
Usually everyone knows I train hard.
You know, that's always going to be the case.
But this time, even with my diet, I didn't have a cheat meal for like 16 weeks.
Wow.
I didn't have a drop of alcohol for the 16 weeks.
No bubbler?
No, no bubblers.
No bubblers.
That's for probably 16 weeks, man.
But you still remember that one.
We'll never forget that.
Fair enough.
But yeah, so it was just, yeah, we did everything, went above and beyond for that one.
And, you know, well, but with him, you know, he had to.
He's got a great short, it's a it's like a right hook.
The punch that he caught Charles with.
Oh, you know, you're talking about Ilya?
Ilya.
Ilya, sorry, yeah, yeah.
It's like this.
He steps in with it.
It's like he doesn't even throw like a long extended jab.
It's almost like a fake left hand, but he sits down.
But what's interesting is that in one of the first exchanges with Charles and him, Charles threw like a kind of long, straight right hand that beat Ilya's right hook.
Okay, yep.
And it looked like it kind of landed.
It didn't like hurt him, but in the exchange where Charles gets knocked out, he throws the same punch and it just misses.
Oh, okay, yeah.
But it was interesting.
I wonder if people watch that.
Like, I think, I think Ilya's phenomenal, but I wonder if there are people that watch that who are taller that it because now he's going to be fighting taller guys who go up in weight.
Like we're talking about a 10-pound difference.
That's like, that could be six inches.
You know, I wonder if there are people that see that and go, I might be able to catch him coming in.
The cost of not catching him coming in is lights out.
You've got to punish him for coming in or else he'll just keep walking straight, right?
Exactly right.
Well, that makes sense.
But then again, you're playing into his world as well.
But that's, you know, he's going to fire and he's going to counter.
So obviously he can get caught.
But with Charles, I just thought he probably had more other ways of winning.
He probably should have avoided the crash, right?
You know, and he just did it and he just decided to crash.
And I knew that.
That's why I picked a first round finish.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
I thought Ilya was going to knock him out.
I don't know if you noticed, though, in this, in the fight, like what he did great was he ended up pulling Charles into knowing that when he was going to jab, Charles would want to follow up.
So he jabs through the body and then Charles didn't end up following, but then he ends up jabbing again, goes high, and then he shifts.
I don't know if you watch it back and you'll see him shift actually to his left.
So off the center line.
Off center.
He shifts to his left, but he jab shifts knowing.
And as soon as he come knowing that he was going to at least step and maybe fire, even if he didn't step and fire, he was always stepping back into that range because he went back and then Charles wanted to be back here and just use that to cut to come straight in.
And now Charles is a very like back and forth straight.
He's not really hitting with angles.
And you know, you said that the right miss, could it have been that shift?
Now he's just circled Charles more into his own right hand.
Oh, there it is.
Yeah, you know what I mean?
And then is that what it is?
And then goes in and then just dip that little bit.
So if he went in a straight line, probably could have still slipped and maybe missed.
But shifting off as he wanted to step into that right line, he stepped into Charles.
I'm sorry, Ilya's right hand.
So if you watch him, watch him when he shifts.
He even shifts.
So he's moving Charles off center while he does it as he shifted, knowing that he was going to follow.
So whether he did that on purpose, I don't know.
But it seems like it was pretty strategic, even the way he didn't just shift back.
You see him shift off center.
So usually it's easy to shift to your right, a little bit harder to shift to your left.
Yeah, it's like in boxing, the guys who are great body punchers, like there's a guy named Miguel Coto.
Do you remember Miguel?
He had a really strong jab, but then he would shift and put his weight over his left foot and then just rip those body punches.
And I think the concern in MMA, I would imagine, is like shifting left, there's a foot or a shin that's going to come right to the top of your head, potentially.
In boxing, when you shift over, there's not much that can hit you.
Like maybe an uppercut can be under, but like if I'm, if I'm, I'm this way and you're a conventional fighter, what do you throw like a knee or something?
So if you keep dipping that way, you're saying?
If I if I dip this way and you're conventional, you're fighting Orthodox, that fucking game over.
Yeah.
So it's like a, it's a risky move too.
Yeah, so with the shift, I mean, she like sort of shifted back out of range, but out.
So not really with the slip.
He ended up slipping with the punch when he decided to throw the two.
Yeah.
Now I'm going to get real technical.
All right.
So when he even see you even shifts off center.
The only thing is when you shift to your left, he shift and then...
You can stand if you want.
Yeah, Charles.
Is that all right?
I'm still in.
And Charles.
So yeah, so he sort of, when he went, he's went here, shifted back, and then he sort of went bang, and then he sort of shifted here.
But now look at I'm side.
If I walk straight, but I'm off center here.
So if you notice on the street.
There's nothing I can throw at you.
Yeah, but even I feel like off here.
But you notice he shifts back and then as soon as he comes in, he goes, boom, and he even shifts his hip straight in.
So he shifts back and then just goes, boom.
So now you're walking straight into the right and you don't have anything with power to kind of, I guess I'm like reaching over.
Yeah, so you go to angle and then again I pulled you.
Yeah, go ahead.
He's pulled that way.
You fixed on that, sorry.
There.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So he's pulled.
He's shifted this way.
But again, firing from me across your body would have been hard.
So he even shifted and as soon as he went, he's just went bang.
And then I'm on the ship.
He even shifted his.
You know, you slipped his head with that left foot.
So what's the strategy against a guy like that?
That makes sense.
Hopefully that makes sense.
Watch it anyway.
It makes sense.
Tell us.
So what's the strategy against a guy like Ilya?
Let's say you guys run it back again.
Wrestle the bloke, man.
Get him down.
Look, that's what you want to see what's going to happen with his gas tank.
So even with Ilya, great fighter.
Even a lot of the things he does, like I'm sure a lot of it's well trained.
And then he's got so many good instincts as well.
Like even him just shifting that way, he's probably trained for that, but then just as soon as he wanted to square his hips up with the right hand, the power was there and put him in a safer position while he was firing two.
So just little things like that he probably trains for or it's just great instincts.
But yeah, he's a, we want to see the gas gas tank.
See, see what happens with that.
Because I thought Charles, when he was taking him down and forcing the sort of wrestle and the grapple, I felt like it was starting to wear on him a little bit.
So even when he sort of ended up on top when they grapple, I don't know if you remember Ilya gets up and then well, remember he was just staying up and it was kicking it.
Didn't let him up.
He waited.
He waited.
I'm going to wait 30 seconds, kick his legs.
Interesting.
Get my breath back.
Because, you know, they probably took a little bit out of him, which I thought was clever.
And then the ref stood him up and then he's like, all right, back to the wall.
So now you get a little break.
So you would attack the gas tank and you do that by like grappling cardio.
I mean, I guess you would have to.
So again, like when you're you're you're right, you you want to catch him coming in because he wants to commit as well.
Yeah.
But there's that danger of him landing as well.
You know, with Charles, you know, he should have known that, all right, this guy's just going to try and take my head off.
I've got world-class jiu-jitsu.
And Charles is pretty strong.
He's improved his wrestling as well.
I might take it there.
You know, I feel like I'll take him in the championship rounds if I have to.
Or I finish him early.
I feel like a lot of these guys, though, it's like you've had so much success.
And maybe you felt this too.
Like you have so much success throughout your career doing something.
And like it's very hard to make that change because it might chip away at your confidence.
You know, like I give a lot of credit to Uncle Ayev.
Like when Uncle Iv fought Preda, I think all of us were going, there's no way he's actually going to bang with this guy.
And then he outstruck him.
So like, I imagine if you're Charles, you're like, I'm one of the best fighters in the world.
Like, why would I change what I do for a guy who's coming up 10 pounds?
You know, does that chip away your confidence at all when you go, I have to not do what I normally do against this guy?
Depends on the fighter, I guess.
Career Change Challenges00:02:29
And yeah, you're right.
It seemed like he's, no, I'm going to press him and I'm going to show the weight.
You know what I mean?
But then I just thought, that's what I thought was going to happen.
That's why I thought Ilya is going to knock him out.
Yeah.
And that's it.
Because he's not so defensive.
He's, you know, he's all offense, Charles.
So the easy, easy.
And you already know what time it is.
You see the lighting.
If you're new over here, get ready, buckle up.
Let me tell you something.

Who do you want, dude?
Who do I want?
Wallet Theft Solutions00:15:06
Yeah.
Who do you want next, bro?
Well, it's a weird one, right?
Because I've got a few guys.
You've got some exciting guys that don't really deserve it.
And then you've got a guy that...
What about Barney Blue?
What about that?
Is that she's doing some rounds, isn't she?
You got a gas tank, dude.
You know what I'm saying about gas tanks?
Do all the rounds on social media and do all the rounds in the bedroom?
Yeah, that might be a good match.
That's a money fight, though.
Like, that's not for Belt.
It's not for any of that thing.
But if you were the guy that could take out Barney Blue, like a thousand have tried.
You ain't going there, that's for sure.
No, who do you want next?
Who do I want next?
All right.
Well, yeah, look, Mobza's probably the guy that I think deserves it, right?
That's what I've always been about.
I've always been about who deserves it.
I'm about you making money.
Yeah.
That's what I'm about.
That makes sense.
I see you with the girl.
Most of the times it's contract fights anyway.
So they have a say.
Well, it's contracts.
So you get a piece of that pay-per-view.
Pay-per-view.
Yeah, you're right.
But yeah, we'll get into that a little bit more.
The pay-per-view system isn't as good as it used to be.
Talk to me.
Well, I can't give too much away with that.
Give me an idea.
No, just mean it's just the way it works is just a little bit different now.
That's why you're seeing the pay-per-views now.
You know, they're starting to look like they're dropping drastically because it's just the way the system is.
And there's still millions and millions of views, but you only get paid on certain pay-per-views.
You know what I mean?
So it's a hard sort of way.
Astrid explained a lot more, but you're not, you know, everyone's when you see the pay-per-views buys, you're only seeing only a couple of countries.
And, you know, it's only over $40 as well.
Like, they're the only pay-per-views, not including your, say, in England, it's a subscription base.
So, you know, they've got their, you know, so you're not including any of those.
There's only like, I think, three or four countries that contribute to the actual pay-per-view.
How does that change for you financially?
Like, are you like, I can still make as much as I could before, or can you not make quite as much as you could before?
Well, I mean, you can still make money.
Like I get the right fights, it's just very hard.
And if you've got a Connor McGregor on the card or somewhere, John Jones, I'm like, all right, now you can really, really make some, you know, they can tie up some of that money compared to what you're fighting for.
But it's just, it's pretty hard.
So even now, good cards, like the pay-per-views that you're seeing, good cards at like 300, 400, that's considered really good now.
Really?
Yeah, where you're.
When you say 300, 400, you mean 300, 400,000 buys.
Yes, yes.
Whereas like the huge monumental fights might have been at a million.
Exactly.
So it's harder.
I don't know.
Again, I don't, I probably shouldn't be talking about this because I don't know enough about it.
But it's just not sort of how it used to be.
Now with all the different deals, like, you know, like TV rights deals and all that.
I think it's just, it's a little bit different.
And now, again, you've probably got all the streamings and all that as well, right?
So, you know, I don't think everyone, the only way to watch it is to buy a pay-per-view.
There's other ways people are probably trying to watch it too, right?
So there's a lot of things that factor into it nowadays.
But yeah.
Yeah, it's tricky because I don't know.
I've heard some people say that I've heard some people say like currently the UFC is like a star problem.
Like they don't have like as many stars as they did.
I think that what people need to understand is that like this happens in all fight sports, even the ones that are predetermined.
Like it happened in wrestling.
Like you go through ebbs and flows.
Even non-fight sports.
When Jordan retired, there was the ratings drop.
Exactly.
We didn't have a Jordan yet.
Then we got Kobe.
Then we got LeBron.
When LeBron's gone, same thing.
So, you know, it's not like, oh my God, is the UFC over?
It's like, no, no, no.
What's going to happen is we had a time where there's you, there's Izzy, John Jones.
Like there was like a five, six year period where it was like every division had multiple, the Diaz, brother.
It's like multiple guys that you needed to watch.
And now some of you guys are getting up there.
Some people are retiring.
Some people are losing some fights.
And a new crop needs to come up.
And you refuse to let that happen in your division.
You know, there's this guy with his beautiful haircut and a great backstory.
And you're like, I'm not out yet.
So I'll just take the belt back.
My story's still going.
I know.
They had this guy's story so fucking downtown.
I'm watching this thing.
I'm getting emotional.
I see you come down.
I'm like, nah, Vox not giving a talk today.
I'm like, I'm almost 40, but you ain't having it yet.
You know what I mean?
No, it's there is a lot of people.
You're right, though.
Exactly what you said.
Like, that's just how it sort of goes.
But there is so many good fighters coming through.
Like, I've watched, like, even Joshua Van, another good example.
But I mean, even my division, you got you've got Pip Pika that's just come in.
Obviously, if he has a couple.
Aaron is an Aaron.
Aaron Pico.
He has a couple of really good boxing and wrestling background.
So that'll be interesting to see.
I haven't watched enough of him, but it will be interesting to see how he goes.
But then you have, oh, I'm having a brain fight now.
This is not coming from the fighting nerds.
Oh, God.
Yes, yes, yes.
You guys did a face-off recently.
Yes, yes, yes.
Not Caio.
Silva, Silva, Silva.
He's phenomenal.
And he's a great fighter.
I know you're a great fighter.
You got a lot of them actually coming.
So I don't think it's too long till you get a lot of names there.
Exactly.
The next generation.
But am I still going not letting him in?
Or am I done by then?
We'll see.
But I don't think it's too far away where you're going to start to see this new school.
I mean, they're fighting nerds, even Ruffy and that as well.
Have you watched Ruffy?
Yeah, phenomenal.
Just watch his training footage in that as well.
Watch his latest knockout.
Oh, Evail.
Yeah, true.
Yeah, watch his fight.
Sorry.
Andy.
There's a lot of good guys coming out.
Another thing that's interesting with fighting specifically, though, is that fighters, the fighters that I think we've gravitated to throughout history are the ones where you don't know the next thing that's going to come out of their mouth.
Right?
Like, you know, Mike Tyson.
Mike Tyson just going like, I'm going to, I'm going to eat your kids.
I'm going to fuck you till you love me.
Like, the reason why Tyson can have a podcast, can do whatever he wants is because we never know the next thing he's going to see.
And so there's like, there's heels as you would have in real wrestling, and there's like baby faces like you, the good guys that we all root for.
Have you heard that wrestling term?
Babyface.
That means like a good guy.
Good guy.
You know, like you're the guy that, you know, we root for.
You're the guy.
It's like, wait a minute, he's not even close to as tall as that guy.
How the fuck is he going to be?
And then you fucking do it, right?
And you're, you remind us weirdly, you shouldn't at all because you're a professional athlete before this, but like, I think you remind us a little bit of ourselves.
You're like, holy shit, like he's going up against all odds.
You know, that first fight with Makachev, you're like, how the fuck did this happen, right?
So we need that.
But you also need the Diaz brothers.
You need Nate to just go out there and say crazy.
You need Connor to rile shit up.
And I think one thing that people might say about like the Dagestanis is as prolific as they are, they're so disciplined in like the press conference, they're not really saying anything that's going to make you go, they're not going to say, I'm going to eat your kids.
You know, they're going to be like, I respect him.
He's a very nice person.
Everything's good.
Whereas Connor's going to go, hey, your wife's a towel, mate.
He's just going to say, so it's like, I think we might need those.
Like a Strickland, for example, like fills that void a bit.
Like he's going to say wild stuff.
And because of that, people are going to either want to see him win or lose, but they're going to pay the price of admission.
So maybe there's a version of that.
And it goes back to sort of what you were saying with the stars and non-stars.
Could you imagine if everyone tried to do that?
It'd be exhausting.
You don't have and then someone comes through and then like Ilya started doing a bit of the trash.
He's actually a very respectful guy.
And now I don't think you need to do it.
So like now you probably you'll see him pull back from the trash talk because he's already a star and he's actually a really, really good dude.
So you probably won't see that.
But I mean, when you've got someone talking trash like that, and they're full of confidence and get knockouts, you know, they just blow up.
Connor McGregor, right?
So and, but when you see people, it's so forced and it's just, you just, oh, I mean, and then everyone hates it.
A lot of people hate it.
So I guess, but in saying that, even though they hate it, they want to see him lose.
And I guess that's still got people watching.
So it's still, but I mean, imagine if everyone was doing it.
Exhausting.
So, I mean, I'm glad that it's, you sort of go through stages because when someone does come, they really do, you know, you really do come.
I was just thinking of Bonnie Blue as soon as I was thinking, I'll beat them too.
Maybe they'll be there.
But yeah.
So what happens with, yeah, that is interesting.
You know, we're kind of done with the Connor era.
You know, he like everybody was calling him out as the money fight.
And obviously it's going to, you know, change your life.
But I think now we've all realized that he's moving on, you know, and the sport is going to have to.
It's no longer, I'm going to call out Connor.
I'm going to make that happen.
Do you feel that?
Oh, yeah.
Of course.
Yeah.
No one's even.
Yeah.
You're right.
I don't think you're going to hear the call outs.
And do we see him again?
What's the big money fight?
Because it used to be Izzy, right?
It's like everybody would call Izzy because you know if you're fighting Izzy, you're going to fucking make that money.
And, you know, obviously Izzy's had an unfortunate last few fights.
But like, who is the person that you call out now?
Like, not even you.
Like, who is the guy?
John's out.
Like, we need to figure out who that.
I mean, you could say Ilya would be that guy.
It's got to be Ilya, right?
Yeah.
So Ilya's right up there now.
You know, you've still got your, mate, you got Max Holloway and Dustin.
That's going to be.
They're about a fight.
Obviously, you've got Gacey in that as well.
But I mean, if Max wins, does that put him back at top?
Could you imagine a rematch at lightweight?
I think that's a between Max and Ilya.
And lightweight.
So that'll be a massive fight.
But again, you're going to get, I think the guys would be someone like Anilia because he's a champ, I guess.
So, you know, gives you a reason to.
But then you probably got guys that'd be like, yeah, fuck that.
When you say that Ilya is a nice guy, after you fight somebody, and I'm talking about guys that you've beaten as well, is there like a, do you guys talk?
Like you had this interesting thing with Islam where like it seemed like you guys had a kind of like cool relationship.
Like your daughter says like, this is this great thing you could say.
Yeah, yeah, well, yeah, that's yeah, that was a funny story as well.
But yeah, I get along with everyone.
But yeah, that's how we started sort of chatting.
We're always good.
Like after the fight, we end up having like a, we're at the same cafe.
I think it was set up for the photo.
Good marketing on their part because then that end up going a bit viral, that photo.
But yeah, so that was funny because I'll tell you the story then with Ariana.
You know, kids, you know, when they're trying to go to sleep, they start, oh, I need to go to the toilet.
And, you know, they start carrying on.
And then you're just like, look, just go to sleep.
You know, it's bedtime.
Oh, I'm scared.
I'm like, what are you scared of, darling?
Oh, what if someone breaks in?
No one's going to break in.
And like, oh, what if someone breaks through the window?
And then I'm like at a stage where I'm like, I get a bit cocky.
I'm like, darling, I'm a UFC world champion.
If someone breaks in, I think I'll sort it out.
Because what if he's laughing?
And I'm just like, oh, I never just cracked up.
But he got wind of it.
And then he ended up going, oh, you know, I'd never come to the house, you know, uninvited.
And then gave him dolls.
Now the girl's absolutely loving.
You know, give me, that's what that's.
It's almost worse.
Yeah.
But with Ilya, so, mate, she's a hater.
My oldest, how you are.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like with Ilya, I'm like, I'm darling.
Like, she's always saying stuff.
Like, I guess, you know, for losing.
I'm like, I bet you if he buys you a doll, he's best friends again, you know what I mean?
But I think she's growing on him now.
But like she'll get like that.
Oh, she loves her daddy, you know?
Yeah, yeah.
And he took daddy's belt.
So that's how she looks at it.
So she's a little bit more.
But now I've got it back.
I think she's sort of easing up on him.
But you guys have spoken afterwards.
You say he's a respectful guy.
So yeah, yeah.
So yeah, yeah, man.
Like we'll even chatting a bit before.
Obviously, we're saying things and we're like, oh, yeah, cool.
And you'll be surprised, man.
Some people still go, look, you know, all respect.
Things might be said, but nothing but respect, you know?
So that's sort of how it's going to go a lot of the time.
And yeah, as we're going, you know, the camera's rolling.
You're still, you know, saying your things, but shaking hands, all respect.
And then after the fight, man, like it's just nothing but respect, really.
Really?
Actually, Ari, him and his brother, really, really respectful dudes.
So and again, I'm a nice guy.
So I'll do that and then still fight.
Everybody loves Mulk, dude.
Yeah, well, that's it.
So just sort of where we're at.
It's probably not good because, you know, if I ever do get a chance to run a safe war, yeah, if I like win, because I obviously want to earn my shot at the title and lightweight for me to go up.
So if I get a chance, it's at a position now where he's all like, man, I like him too much.
I don't want to fight.
Now I probably won't be able to fight.
Well, maybe that's what you do.
No, maybe strategic, you reckon.
I mean, yeah, there.
It's not strategic, but you know, I guess, yeah, I don't know.
It's a tricky one, but at the same time, I don't know if that's every time.
Every time one of your opponents thinks that you're playing mind games by being like a nice guy, I just want to remind them that you used to drink your own pee on Mondays.
Yeah, so it's not.
That wasn't me that did that.
Now it's not you.
I saw it every day every time.
I saw it happen.
I saw it happen.
I never did one.
Oh, man, I could tell you so many stories.
I won't, because Indians are going to touch them for you.
I won't go into that.
Tell us.
When was last Manic Monday?
What was that?
What was the last Monday?
I had a Mad Monday for probably a good thing.
You know what I mean?
Are UFC guys not even close to as big partiers as the rugby guys?
Yeah, it's probably not as close.
Was it Aussie Resort?
I mean, obviously, you know, what is it?
Trainer, play hard.
You know, you're going to still get that, but it's just a whole nother level sometimes with rugby league and the football.
I guess the team sports.
I know, it's all team sports like that.
I think.
Yeah.
Like it would be.
It's like it simulates almost war in that like we accomplished this thing together and now you know to the victor go the spoils.
And for you guys, spoilers are pee all over you.
And most of us, I think, just drink, right?
Like when we accomplish something good, we'll have like some drinks or whatever.
Yeah, we just do that now, you know.
Did you have any of your buddies go, why did you share that with the world?
Nah, because I didn't single anyone out.
So it's all right.
Well, there's always an opportunity now if you want to.
Camp Confidence Issues00:04:40
Is it like, oh, nah, they just said it was you, so it's all good.
That's why he doesn't need Bonnie Blue, dude.
He's got his own mouth, right?
That's what you need.
Okay, who do you?
So you said you want Evluv next?
I just think, look, man, he's fighting Pico.
So that's a...
So we've got a couple of big fights.
Diego's fighting Silver.
So a couple of people.
Oh, is that 100% guaranteed?
That's already locked in for September.
I thought that they were going to make, who's the guy who does taekwondo?
I'm so funny.
Yair Rigas.
Yeah, Yair.
I thought that they were going to do Yair versus.
That's who they wanted me to.
That sort of seemed like who I was going to fight.
Like because of the Mexico card, it was meant to be pay-per-view, but then the stadium, they had a like something fell through, and the stadium wasn't going to be ready.
So it's not a pay-per-view anymore.
So now it's a fight night, so they've sort of just said, I know they haven't pushed Yo-Yin now.
Me, I'll fight anyone like how I always am.
And that's what they were sort of mentioned.
And obviously he was doing the rounds.
What about you versus Murab?
Murab.
I mean, look, again, I'd fight anybody.
I know you would.
We get along really well again.
I can advise that we get along.
You and him, we're going to get both of you in a pod because the two of you together, I think, would be a manic Monday.
Oh, yeah, man.
He's hilarious.
He's full of energy, man.
He's just a ball of energy.
But he's a good dude.
Really, really good dude.
I mean, he's in a position where, you know, he's had a few defenses.
He probably could move up soon, right?
It'd be fair.
But at the same time, he's said, he's like, oh, no, no, I'd never fight Vulk anyway.
Really?
Yeah, he said that.
So I'm like, and he says that because I love the guy as well.
Even though you have to do, you have to do it.
But him and Al Joe were teammates, obviously, but they also said that they would never fight each other.
There is a kind of like bond with friends.
I mean, you've got to respect that as well.
Like, you know, they were pressured a lot to fight and they end up, you know, just sort of just didn't fall into it.
Aljamaine even moved up a division like to let him have his go.
Or he was even going to do that even while he was champion.
So he was going to, I think he was going to beat, if he beat Sean, he was going to be able to do that.
I think he was going to let vacate so Murab can take it.
So, I mean, you've got to respect that in a sense because you are going to be talked into things sometimes.
And if you can stick to your guns and look how much is paid off for Murab, maybe not so much Al Jamaine, like, you know, it's, you know, he's been a fruit, which he's a cool dude as well.
But Murab, I just love seeing, like you said, good guys.
Do well.
And then now he's starting to get his flowers as well.
You know, everyone like loves his state.
He does his funny skits and that as well.
He's a cool, he's all of energy.
So there's plenty of content out there of him.
And he's good fun.
He's a good dude.
What about O'Malley?
For me, I'm not making enemies with nobody.
I'm going to talk some changes.
We need to talk some shit.
Who wants to take my belt?
No, you're too nice, man.
That's how you protect it, man.
Yeah, there you go.
He's like, oh, no.
But then there's no paychecks.
Yeah, we need the paychecks.
How many more paychecks you want?
That's a question I've been trying to ask.
I've been wanting to know.
Stop.
Yeah, look, man, it's a tricky one.
You know what I mean?
It's something that you are going to always think about.
Like, you know, I'm not going to lie to you and be like, oh, I've got heaps more left in me.
You know, it's, you know, that's not the case.
Yeah.
You know, but I know it's not too far away where we probably will be hanging the gloves up.
But I still got some fight left in me.
So we'll do that.
We'll see.
We'll see each fight as it goes.
Three more, two more.
I mean, I felt great in last camp.
Last camp, I felt great.
You looked fantastic.
Yeah, exactly, man.
I really took it serious.
And I would have to do a, I wouldn't do it as long.
That was a long ass camp.
But I would like to, you know, bring the weight down early.
I felt that was a great idea for me to bring the weight down early.
So I felt sharper early.
Because again, if I went through camp feeling a bit heavy and sluggish, was that going to get me thinking like, oh, man, I'm feeling old, man.
Like, you know what I mean?
Was that going to happen?
And I was glad I didn't do that.
I felt light.
And mate, the first part of camp, I was like doing really well.
You know what I mean?
I was like, man, we're in good nick right now.
Like, this is good.
So it got me in a good headspace going through camp.
So I felt great.
So I'm like, oh, I've got a few left in me.
So we'll see.
If that drastically changes next camp, all right.
Maybe we'll think about it being earlier.
I think you're slowly going to find a hobby.
That's what's going to happen.
Yeah.
That's what's happening.
Well, I'm already cooking.
I'm here cooking.
We bump.
You know what I mean?
Cooking.
And we don't bring anything, bro.
You could have brought some biscuits or some shit.
You know, we were thinking of you, you're dying?
Oh, you got a train here, dude.
Hey, listen, we both got breaking any news.
Finding a New Hobby00:14:41
I'm not breaking any news here.
I'm not breaking any news.
There's no broken news.
I mean, you know, some people have speculated that maybe, you know, Volk would also be in Street Fighter.
I don't know.
Listen, obviously, I'm not saying anything.
Obviously, we would never say something like that on a podcast that's going to go out to millions of people.
We would never share that kind of information here because, you know, we have contracts with the studios.
But listen, I told them, I told them, I was like, if you hire me for a movie, I'm going to say some shit.
And, you know, I probably shouldn't.
Don't let there be some fake kisses on screen.
What do you hypothetically?
Who would you hypothetically play?
I'm just hypothetical.
I don't know.
Who could I play?
Who could play?
Yeah.
Let's get the cast.
Let's see some pictures of these street fighters, dude.
Yeah, Joey, get us some stuff up.
That's all right.
The movie manager.
They could just make you look tall, make you look, you know, make you look tall, make you look like you got nice blonde hair, whatever it is.
You know, he wants to be Guile, huh?
Guile.
Yeah, Andrew Koji is.
I've called Ryu Ryu my whole life.
I'm not switching to Ryu.
It's going to be Ryu.
Apparently, it's absolutely Ryu.
Yeah.
I'm talking about Ryan.
Are you going to be saying it like that?
Yeah, I'm going to say, I'm going to.
There's other things I'll call him too.
We got Roman Reigns.
He's going to play Akuma.
Oh, that's fire.
Okay.
That makes sense.
That's great.
Keep going.
Okay, we got Felina Liang as Chung Li.
Hell yeah.
Jason Mamo is going to be Blocka.
That's sick.
That's great.
Okay.
And Orville Peck as Vega.
This is fire because he does wear a mask.
Do you guys remember the Vega character?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, but he actually does wear one.
Oh, he's a country music superstar.
And so he's going to play Vega.
And he's going to be a movie.
Say again.
Why does he wear a mask?
COVID?
He just wears the top heart.
Yeah, yeah.
He's a patriot for sure.
Yeah.
And then Noah Centeneo as Ken.
None of us knew that Ken had a last name, so it's good to know that he's going to be doing that.
Oh, okay.
Ken Mudd.
And then the boy 50 Set is Ball Rog.
I'm really happy.
They got 50 in Australia for two months.
This is how you know Street Fighter might be the best game ever.
Dude, it seems like they were just like, yo, you want to be a Street Fighter?
Everyone's like, fuck yeah.
Dude, that's good.
The second they said it, and I was like, yes.
And they're like, well, you're going to play this character.
It was pretty much a joke and he's kind of weak.
And it was made just to make fun of another video game.
It was trying to, what's it called?
The rip ball street fighter.
And I was like, still, yes.
That's actually anything.
I may lower the bar.
Yeah, I basically play like Ken's manager.
Oh, that's great.
Hell yeah.
Yeah, I'm like a scummy manager.
That's great.
And I don't want to give too much away from the movie, but I will because I have a microphone on me.
And there it is.
So I'm going to play Dan Hibiki.
So how are you training?
What's you got to be shredded, right?
Yo, so here's the thing.
You tell me.
This is what I've.
What do you need?
I need peptides.
I need to not cook with Volk for at least six weeks.
I have four weeks to get in shape to play a comedic character who will never have his shirt off.
But since everybody else, maybe Volk, look at what this guy looks like.
Go to that image.
And it looks like he meant to be.
You got to lift the weight somewhere.
It's Prime Month.
So, yeah, I'm just Prime Month Ryu.
That's fire, dude.
I was a perfect dog.
That's fire.
Great casting.
Great.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you.
Get out there, Ten.
Yeah.
You're going to get bopped by.
So, this is what I'm thinking, okay?
I don't think I could gain weight in six weeks, but I think that I'm looking at any movie character, and I was talking to some people.
I was talking to Jordan Shaws, talking to Muscle Doc, and he's like, Yo, Ryan Reynolds in Deadpool is 170 pounds.
Okay.
I think what happens in movies, like people like Brad Pitt and Fight Club was probably like 150 pounds.
People look muscular.
They're just skinny.
Probably just lean as well.
Exactly.
That's what I'm saying.
Give me that 300 shit.
Yeah, yeah.
Like they were just putting.
So I'm going to get skinny and try to look shredded and then let them Photoshop some pecs on me or whatever.
But I'm going to do my best.
Like I'm going to, you know, I'm on a diet.
Anivar.
Yeah, yeah, also steroids.
You don't know anything about steroids.
You're a clean athlete.
So when you start to bring it up, I was like, oh, man, you're talking to the wrong guy.
Yeah, but they got rid of a diet.
I can help you have a diet cooking with Volk and help you with the body.
I've seen losing weight.
I can help you with.
Yeah, you do lose weight.
Putting on weight, not so good.
I had to do it.
And I had to eat like four or five thousand calories.
When you were playing right now, when I tried, no, when I tried to fight Islam, I just put on weight.
Obviously, everything's natural.
I don't know.
I'm a major against.
You can do it.
Look, people want to do it in their own time.
That's good.
But when it comes to competing.
If you want to do it for a movie scene, that's fine.
But when it comes to competing, I'm major against it.
I'm like a big hater of it.
I was worried about taking steroids because it could affect your sperm.
And then I realized my sperm is already affected.
You know what I mean?
You should be glowing, dude.
I know.
But then my wife was like, it will give us an unfair advantage in our fights.
Who's the opposite?
No, I'm going to.
I'm going to.
It's hard, man.
Zangesh.
Yeah.
Is that you?
You could be Zang Geese.
I could see you play.
Yeah, that could be, yeah.
Or M. Meisel.
That's what you're wrong.
He's going to be.
With a hat on.
I don't know if I'm big enough.
Yeah, who can play in Street Fighter?
Dude, I've been pushing so hard for Volk for Street Fighter.
I've been pushing so hard.
Zang Geese, dude.
You know what I sent the producers?
I sent the producers old Volk.
Oh, because I was like, listen, this guy can actually act.
Okay?
Like, don't watch him in interviews at all.
But if you give him a script, and like, because that shit was funny.
Really funny.
Like, you were actually acting.
I enjoy it, man.
I actually really enjoy it.
So I was like, you got to watch this.
Like, he can act like the fighting, he's going to do better than everybody.
That's what he does.
But if you want someone who can actually deliver lines in a funny way, Volk is there.
Now, we're not saying he's in the movie at all.
Obviously, you could axe him.
You know, he's not gay, so he's not going to work out.
You know, this is Hollywood at the end of the day.
Yeah.
So you need to be gay.
I told him I'm gay.
Yeah, yeah.
You know, that's what I said.
And it works.
Yeah, 50s black, so he's allowed to be in the basement.
He's Aussie.
I mean, that's like somewhere in between.
Yeah, you're down under.
There's a little bit.
UFC champ, that may be guessed.
Does that help?
Nah, that doesn't give a fuck.
Come on.
That is hypermasculine.
That is toxic.
That's toxic.
That's toxic, isn't it?
It's toxic.
It's toxic.
Go ahead.
No, no, no.
You're beating the minorities.
You can't do it.
Extremely.
I mean, it's the least EDI thing ever.
The movie's about beating up minorities.
We can't have the white guys be too successful in that.
We'll remind them of history.
But what we're going to do is this.
Yeah, we're just going to see what happens.
That's what we're going to see.
We'll see what happens.
You could be ED.
That shit is awesome.
Wait, what's up there?
What's up there?
I heard you were going to be a stun double for Chun Li.
Is that true?
Oh, that could work.
You could be Ed or Luke, yo.
Look at that.
Yeah, we can't give away too much.
The black guy's name is DJ.
I tried to get Akash to Dalsum, and then they saw a picture of him without a shirt on.
Ain't working.
It ain't working.
I tell you that, right?
Maybe supposed to do it.
I mean, this trip isn't going to be too good for me losing weight, eh?
Because I'm literally here just doing like a food talk.
Yeah, just cooking with people.
Where you eat?
Everywhere.
You kind of hit me.
You got to hit me when you come to New York because I'm going to obviously tell you where to go.
Everything's last minute with us anyway, you know?
But we've got some cool content.
Yeah, go to heap happening anyway.
So we've got some cool things.
Who you cook?
Who'd you cook with while you're in town?
Well, I just did QCP.
We're in town, Action Brunson.
We're going to be actually.
I was about to say that.
He's going to take us around and give us some good spots.
If you're with action, he's got a New York locker.
Yeah, so we're going to go to here in New York.
And we're going to Miami doing a heap there as well.
Dude, you got to link up with Carbone, with Mario Carbone.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's the guy he's a major food group.
Do we reach out?
No.
I'll connect you guys.
I'll connect you guys.
But especially if you're down, because I think Mario, actually, I don't know if he's there during summer.
Miami gets hot during summer.
So a lot of the people that live in Miami just dip.
Sorry, fair enough.
But look, we're going to, yeah, we're going to go to heap.
We do have some cool collabs out there.
I love it.
This is very good listening.
So who knows what happens in Street Fighter?
Like, obviously, we're not going to release any information before, you know.
But what if this podcast puts something in the universe?
Yeah, maybe just talking about it could make it happen.
Yeah, and maybe talking about it removes all your leverage in the contract negotiations.
So now you'll end up doing it for free.
That kind of backfires.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But that budget goes into CGI for your abs.
True.
And then I'll look awesome.
It all evens out.
So maybe there is already chats, and then now we've put it out there, more people are going to talk about it.
Maybe negotiations are going to get better for us.
Oh, now they're cornered.
They got to do it.
I mean, that's if there was conversation already.
There's just so many different backups manager.
I like it.
I like it, Volk.
Look at this.
Flat white half full.
You know?
Anyway, dude, Volk, we love you.
We appreciate you.
We'll watch you as long as you fight.
And we'll even watch you cook.
That's how much we love you.
That's how much we love you as a fighter that we watch you cook.
That's love.
That is love, and I appreciate it.
You know that.
Old man Volk might be.
We should get old man Volk one time, dude.
Maybe old man Volk or something.
That'd be fun.
Old man Volk's got a cookies of food one time.
I need to see old man Volka take down some babies.
Have you seen that video of the guy who babies or babies?
B-Bay.
B-Bay.
B-B is bacterial vaginosis.
You don't want to see that, David.
That's a Minneapolis Monday.
Anyway, Volk, we love you.
We appreciate you.
Thank you so much for being here, dog.
Keating me.
Guys, steak is the leader in global betting in U.S. social casinos.
Been on top sports like the UFC, political events, like the Mayor election of New York, and use the promo code Flagrants for your welcome bonus.
Now, let's get back to the show.
I'm starving.
I'm starving.
And I haven't even done anything for my diet yet today.
Just the idea that I have to diet is fucking me up major.
Hey, get on the GLP, baby, get on that manjaro.
What is it?
Is it?
Are you doing that?
Yeah.
We've been talking about this.
Yeah, but I keep looking at you.
I'm like, this guy is a piece of shit.
I'm so hungry.
I need to eat something.
You can have a salad with arupola, double chicken, cucumbers, and tomato, no dressing.
What?
You can.
What about lead?
What about olive oil?
No, That's Jordan speaking.
Ask him if I can have hot sauce or something like that.
You can have hot sauce, but it has to be the one in the fridge.
It has to be like the talula.
Vinegar.
You know what we can do?
Actually, it's five calories.
We can do like a lime squeeze or a lemon squeeze.
Oh, my God.
Ask him what I can do to flavor the salad, please.
I'm about to pass out.
I'm so hungry.
Please.
Well, you had three breakfasts, Andrew.
Emma informed me you ate breakfast with her.
And I said you.
And then you had overnight oats.
I'm telling you, it's a psychological thing.
You had more calories and breakfast than you were.
It's a psychological thing.
I'm going to eat.
What is happening?
When we finish this pod in like fucking five minutes, I am going to have an appetite like you've never seen in your entire life.
Okay, I'm going to give you a salad.
I'm going to make you a protein shake.
Oh, I can do that?
Yeah, you get a protein shake.
Okay, well, it's all about it.
It has to be just protein powder and water.
Okay, I'll do that.
Okay.
And I'm going to go get you.
I'm going to start eating my own boogers if I don't have something.
Stop.
Okay.
Boogers have like two calories each.
Yes, I will do that.
Thank you so much, Kiana.
Thank you so much.
I'm trying to.
Just go protein, high fats that you're not going to eat ever again.
I'm telling you.
That's the move.
What does that mean?
You do like steaks, butters, chickens, stuff like that.
And it's not even allowed to do that.
It's going to satiate you and then you won't eat for long periods of time.
But apparently, I'm not allowed to do that.
It says who?
The fucking muscle doctor.
Wait a minute.
He's trying to cut.
He's not trying to bolt.
That'll cut you down.
He doesn't lift.
He also got three weeks.
He doesn't lift.
This is crash diet.
I got five weeks.
You need an eating disorder.
You need cigarettes.
That's a fucking coffee.
That's your faith daily.
Eating disorder.
Yeah, yeah.
You need a bag.
I need a dream.
I smoke cigarettes and black coffee.
Well, sketchy rush.
Yeah.
Split a baggy dude.
Oh, oh, oh, crack.
Crack.
You'd probably lose crazy weight, tons of energy.
I wouldn't do crack, but like, if I didn't have a daughter, I would smoke cigarettes relentlessly.
I would be so addicted to cigarettes.
Yes, but think about the plus minus.
You do cigs, not good for you.
Lose weight, get shredded, is good for you.
That's another thing.
Good with the bed.
Like, where are the vanity muscles?
Like, I don't think we have time to work legs.
We're being very strategic about that.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm on the same page, right?
What's going to be so funny is you're not going to see my body the entire movie.
I know it for a fact.
And I'm going to put myself through torture just to get a fucking ab muscle for nothing.
I'm going to have to ask the director.
I'm going to have to pull him aside.
I'd be like, dude, can you just have Dalsum rip off my shirt or something like that?
I need one day where I can at least show my body.
Oh, man.
For your acting role, you're playing a character who is technically like the manager of Ken.
So, yeah, I don't know how much I can give away from the, but I will.
So, yeah.
So, yeah, I'm not like fighting in the Street Fighter tournament or whatever, but I got some moves.
Like, his lore is quite interesting.
I was like doing some while we were doing it.
Yeah, like he is a joke character.
Like, he got a shitty Hadouken that goes like two feet.
Like, he's purposely weak because they're trying to make fun of this other video game that was trying to steal characters from Street Fighter.
So, you don't need to work out.
Just look like you.
I actually could do that.
But acting is just like, I feel like the one, I don't know, the one thing, but like a thing that you would respect about like, you know, in an action movie is the actors putting themselves through the process.
Your character is a joke.
Yeah, but at least if I put the effort in to like look good in an action movie, I do get to fight a little.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
I don't know if you remember last action.
No, no, no.
True Lies with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It had Tom Arnold in it.
Unrealistic Fitness Goals00:02:11
Yeah.
He was not in shape and he didn't need to be.
I'm the Tom Arnold of this movie.
Yeah, and he didn't.
And nobody was like, why isn't Tom Arnold in?
That's the only thing I've thought about for the last 10 years.
I remember seeing True Lies and I was like, why didn't Tom Arnold get fucking done into this movie?
And I fear that there'll be other people out there, real Street Fighter fans, who won't feel like I did.
I did the character Dan Habiki respect.
I have to get in shape for Dan Habiki to honor Dan Hibiki.
You might get too shredded, then it'll be unrealistic.
Yeah.
That's what I was worried about today.
Yeah.
When I was starving.
I think I'm going to get too skinny.
During your third breakfast?
During my third breakfast, I looked down and I felt so hungry, but my stomach looked so full.
And I was like, this is how people get fat.
Like the idea that you could look at your body and be like, oh, I have tons of reserves here.
Why isn't it tapping into that?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's kind of infuriating.
Just don't look at your body.
Don't look at it.
It's not depressing.
That's how the weight game happens.
Dude, I can't believe you're on Munjaro.
Not as an insult, but like, I can't believe.
We talked about this.
No, I know, but I thought that you were making a joke about it.
No, I'm on it.
He's on the majority.
He got cheek fillers.
He's going all in Hollywood, dude.
Did we even say that yet?
I don't care.
Come on out here.
I mean, interesting.
That's yeah.
I'm gonna get on more shit too, dude.
41.
It's over.
What do you got?
What do you got, science?
I love this.
You're just losing weight some places, putting weight in other places.
Have you lost weight on the majority?
Yeah, I actually have.
How much have you lost?
I'm working.
I'm actually lifting, so like I'm never going to put on real muscle, but like I look better.
I look much, I look like I have a foundation to be in shape now, which I never saw before in my life.
I was like, oh, this guy, this guy could be in shape one day.
Whereas before, I'd be like, I don't even see the map.
I don't even see a roadmap.
I don't even see where we're getting there.
Now I'm like, okay.
There's a path.
I feel like there was a moment when we first met where you were pretty skinny.
Yeah, I could be skinny fat, but like very skinny fat.
But not like...
But never real muscle or like I could lift a normal amount of weight or like do push-ups with any like real decent form.
How many push-ups do you think you can do?
Oh, correctly?
Yeah.
Three?
No.
No, you can do more than three.
A real push-up is hard, dude.
Citizenship and Slavery00:07:10
No, it's not.
Yeah, this shit, yeah, I could do a few, whatever.
But when they're like, hey, you got to put your shoulders and your fucking core got to be aligned.
Three.
You couldn't do more than you could do more than three.
I don't know.
What about a pull-up?
Pull-ups.
This is sad, bro.
I can do it.
Pull-up.
I can pass a presidential fitness test, I think.
What is a presidential fitness test?
I would think you could find it.
I think that would be worth it.
I'll tell you what I could never do.
That fucking rope, you got to climb up.
That, there is no age or fitness level at which I would be able to do that.
How dangerous is that?
Why do we have kids do that?
Yeah, it's crazy.
Climb to the fucking sky.
I don't even, my mind can't even understand how they do it.
But why would you make middle school kids do that?
Military.
There's like a military fitness test.
But why?
Why would I do it at 11 years old?
To train you to get your military?
You're part of the Bush youth, dude.
Here we go.
The Clinton youth.
One mile run.
Can't do that.
Pull-ups.
Ups.
Plural.
Can't do that.
Sit-ups.
Two.
Shuttle run.
No.
Okay.
Sit and reach.
I could do that.
What's a shuttle run?
You got to reach out to side.
Yo.
Not to divert, but like, are we citizens?
Yeah, because like the birthright shit is done, right?
Bro, yeah.
It took two hours, and that's how we got into college.
I know I asked it.
No, because my mom, my mom's a citizen now, but when she had me, she wasn't a citizen.
None of y'all parents were well, you.
But like, we're also citizens on either side.
They were citizens.
Yeah, yeah.
My mom was.
I wasn't.
So do we, and my wasn't even born here.
I'm the only American in this room, yo.
No, low-key.
Oh, Miles.
All right.
I get it, buddy.
Tiki torch ass answer.
Real fast.
So how do you, how do you become an American citizen?
Your parents got to be citizens.
And then if you're born here through them, you're, what if one of your parents is a citizen?
Then I think you're good.
I think you're good.
So at least one of your parents got to be citizens.
Now, let me think about this rule.
Is this rule that bad?
And do other countries operate in the same way?
The actual Supreme Court ruling, I think, was that like you can't, an injunction only applies to the people that are suing.
So if people are suing President Trump for trying to sign this order, and then a court says, nope, we were like, President Trump can't pass the order.
We're going to protect these people that are suing for now.
It's only these people.
There's no like precedent beyond the people that are actually suing.
Got it.
And then it would be state to state.
And I think what they're trying to say is non-U.S. citizens who have kids don't get automatic citizenship.
Now, not just even.
Do the kids get citizenship?
No, they do not.
Just because you're born here, if you're born to a non-U.S. citizen, I assume one of them is a citizen, you're okay.
But if it's two non-U.
That includes visas, I think.
That includes like a lot of visas.
There's a part of me that's like, I don't know if it's that crazy because there are people who will just get pregnant and then month seven, come to America.
You can stay here for three months on a tourist visa, and then you have a kid that's born here, and then they have American citizenship.
And they're taking advantage of American citizenship, obviously.
And they're not only people that are coming from third world countries.
We're talking about people coming from Europe just so they can stack on the internet.
And there are people who are here legally but on a visa.
So they're not a citizen, but they're working here.
I think if it's a work visa.
That kid should be a citizen.
Yeah, if you're here on a work visa.
We got to look at your work.
Are you doing good work?
If they're working, yeah.
Hey, it's like a corporate indentured servitude thing.
I can do it.
I promise you.
They're working the fuck out of you.
I feel like if you're working here, if you're working here and then your partner is also on a visa, so you're both working here and then you have a kid, then yeah, that kid.
If you're on a divorce visa and you're allowed to bring your partner, that kid, if a kid is born here, I think you should be a citizen.
I don't think it's crazy to people who just like come here when they're nine months pregnant to have a baby.
Yeah, well, I'm not super mad at that.
And I get the idea that someone comes here illegally and then has a kid.
Why is that kid?
And then their whole family gets to stay.
I get that.
But that's so the shitty part is don't take it away, just refine it.
So what's the best version of it?
I think like what we said, like I think if you're here on visa, white people get to do it or like white people get to do it.
That's the best version.
And then Nigerians and Indians.
That's it.
Oh, that's all.
The best of the world.
Yeah, the best of this.
Thanks, dude.
Yeah, I mean, it's tricky because you want to create a system where the best people from all over the world want to come here, but also to gap up the loopholes that they can't just exploit the system and come over in nine months.
This was a loophole gap in the beginning.
Well, I think, wasn't this to make it so that children of slaves were considered American citizens?
I believe it was the 14th Amendment.
So like the idea was that you are a citizen of the United States of America.
And I believe that there are legals that are taking advantage of that rule that was put in place to give citizenship to the 13th Amendment stopped shadow slavery.
And then the 14th Amendment was basically like, how do we make these people citizens?
Yeah.
And the 14th was birthright.
Well, what I would, what I so here's, this is this is actually a really interesting point.
So I hate you for what reason?
I know, I know, I know.
Hated him the moment you saw him.
But yeah, so here, so maybe here's a good option.
Like if you want to gain citizenship through your, if you want your kid to be a citizen, but you're illegal, you have to be a slave for a little.
Because that is the 14th Amendment.
If you're going to use the 14th Amendment, which was specifically put in place so that the kids of slaves would get citizenship, you are using that without going through the slaving.
So if you slave it up a little bit, then it should apply to you and your family.
But if you're doing it without the whole purpose of it, then it feels like you're taking advantage of the system.
Al, would you like to speak on this?
And keep in mind that you might get some Serbian slaves out of this.
You can get white slaves.
That's the first thing I thought about.
I'm like, yeah, you're kind of racist toward black people to not make them go to slit.
It's unfair.
It's like you guys had to go through this, right?
And then these other people don't have to go through it, but then they get the citizenship.
Imagine the atrocities that you have to do.
It's the state equality, I'm okay, want it.
Bad slaves, black slaves, all slaves.
All slaves.
So we bring back slavery in an effort to naturalize the kids of illegals.
And then, what is the term of slavery?
Seven years based on movies I've heard of.
All right.
I think you got to go shorter.
You got 12?
Bro, I saw somebody.
You saw the volume was raising.
He was close.
Seven years of slavery.
Seven years.
I think it depends what we need to get done.
Like, some of these projects are going to take a little while.
Season Three Racism00:02:29
Yeah.
What do we need done?
What are the big things we need done?
We need housing.
We need housing.
We need them to build houses.
That's the Mexicans.
That's the Mexicans.
All construction projects.
Who are the best builders in the world?
Like, should they come here on an indentured servitude term and their kids that they do have end up becoming citizens?
I don't know if white people can be the owners.
That feels too weird to me.
So I think it's only non-whites can own the slaves.
Like that.
And so it's y'all.
Y'all can have slaves, and that's kind of whatever you guys want to build.
We'll just bring ours from India.
We got that's what I'm saying.
We got people.
You guys already have enough.
Slave your own people.
That's fucked up.
Thank you.
Hey, thank you.
Thank you.
Yes.
Thank you.
I mean, now you get it.
You get it.
This is full circle moment.
Takes a couple hundred years, but they see it.
Dude, can we just have an acknowledgement of how racist you feel watching Squid Game when you're on the third season and you've loved the last two and the beginning episode of the third season, you're like, I don't know who the fuck is.
Like, is there nook me three episodes where I was like, oh, got it, I get who that is.
Like, you know, you feel a little racist, right?
Like, they had to dye the one dude's hair pink just so you knew.
And they killed that motherfucker.
So now we don't even have pink hair.
And I'm just like, oh, who's the good guys?
Who are the bad guys?
Like, not to give away spoilers, but you know, one of the guys that was from the boat crew, and he was like, nah, I don't like this captain.
I had no clue he was.
When he goes to the house, when they pull up at the house of the car, I'm like, oh, is this a flashback from one of the other apes?
Bro, I couldn't even remember.
You thought they were doing it?
I don't even remember that character was the guy from the boat.
It's hard.
It's hard to do.
It took me three episodes to be like, all right, I'm locked in.
