Nate Diaz and Chris Avila discuss their upcoming Netflix fight card on May 16th, detailing Diaz's Nashville restaurant venture and their shared Stockton roots. They debate jiu-jitsu in schools, reflect on CTE risks, and address vaccine hesitancy while analyzing the mental toll of professional combat. Diaz critiques non-fighter analysts like Daniel Cormier, reveals his excitement for a Mike Perry bout over Jake Paul, and recounts his UFC career choices regarding Conor McGregor. The conversation also touches on Diaz's acting in "Busboys and Poets," past drug-related suspensions, and bizarre news stories, ultimately highlighting the complex intersection of fighting culture, personal integrity, and entertainment.

Woo-woo!
They're fighters, MMA artists, and now they're actors.
Those are my words, not theirs.
One of them is one of the most beloved athletes in UFC history.
His fight with Mike Perry is the highlight of the upcoming May 16th Netflix fight card.
And he's joined by his friend and fellow fighter from Stockton 209, Mr. Chris Avila, who fights Brandon Jenkins on the same card.
Ladies and gentlemen, woo-woo!

Sorry, I can't believe you.
So you so you're opening a restaurant?

I'm not opening.
I got some people opening it up.
Yeah, it's just gonna have options like Sanding Regular restaurant has, but with vegan and gluten-free options, also.
Oh, damn.
Do you eat vegan?
Yeah, I like vegan.
I'm not full vegan, but yeah, mainly vegan.
Lentils, you eat a lot of lentils and stuff like that?
Or what do y'all eat nowadays?
Yeah, I eat.
Yeah, I eat all vegan food, but I eat seafood as well.
And I eat eggs too.
I love fucking seafood, boy.
If I was in the ocean, bro, I think I wouldn't mind it because I know I do like seafood.
Yeah, it's the best.
But anyway, thank you guys for coming in, bro.
You guys are fucking only three hours late, dude.
You guys, you both, you guys, you got the only dude that y'all are later to boost.
Vegan Restaurant Options00:15:12
He's the only guy that really been late.
So when y'all are later than a black guy, bro, but uh, we would wait.
Come on, who does he say that?
Yeah, he's no remember when they were trying to cut off that on somebody's kid talking about his kid going like transgender.
He's like, nah, come on, come on, come on.
He's like 12.
Oh, yeah, I think they're talking about Dwayne Wade.
Oh, is that Dwayne Wade's kid?
He ain't there yet.
They got into it about that.
They got into it, huh?
Yeah, they got into it.
I support Boozy.
I support Boozy.
Yeah, he, yeah, that was one of the best episodes.
We had to have a big bag of weed for him, and we had to have like a lot of weed when Boosie came.
Two pounds in specific kinds.
Like, I was on a scavenger hunt.
Yeah, they had like hello.
Hey, tell these we need two pounds a week.
We just get boozy.
Yeah, tell him three.
We should be good.
We'll make sure, bro.
Thank you guys for coming in, man.
Thanks for having us.
Where did you guys even meet each other at?
The gym.
Did I meet you at the gym?
No, I met you at the 24-hour tenant windows.
Yeah, yeah.
Tending windows.
My dad had a tent shop in Stockton.
And then he got his tent or his truck tended.
My dad tended his truck.
And that's where we met, my dad's shop.
And he was like 15 or 14 or something like that.
You already know.
I was getting my windows tended in my truck.
And then I went to pick it up.
And him and I think your brother was there.
I think it was just me and my dad and Ernie.
Yeah, and we all took pictures.
Ernie Reyes?
No, the guy back home.
He's a little sponsor.
E-Rod.
Shout out to E-Rod.
Let's go.
He was the guy who sold me the Honda Civic when I went for a Cadillac.
Yeah, kid.
He's my first sponsor.
He's the man.
He's cool.
He sponsored your fights early?
My first fights and my brother's fights too when we were young.
And he always takes care of us with cars and my whole family's cars and stuff like that.
So he was the man.
And then I was like, I need my windows tended.
He's like, yeah, I got you.
And he called his dad.
And then that's where I came to pick my car up and they were all there.
And then he came to train with me because I think his dad was talking to my brother.
He's like, hey, my son boxes.
He wants to come train with you guys.
So he came in to spot with my brother.
And then he came in to spar with my brother.
Nick introduced me to him again.
Him and Eddie's son.
And then we started training together after that.
Because y'all talk about Stockton a lot.
What is it about Stockton that gives it that grit?
Do you feel like?
Because you guys always, you know, I mean, you guys kind of represent the 209.
I don't know if there's any other fighter that represents like a place as much as people correlate you guys with Stockton.
Yeah, well, that's just where we come from.
And everything started there.
And that's the core, baby.
You got to reference rep where you're from.
I think I had Yancey Mederos come out from Hawaii one time to train with us.
And he started training with us.
And he's like, yeah, woo.
And he was telling me all about Hawaii.
I was asking him about Hawaii and growing up there.
And I was just like, I was interested.
I was like, that's cool.
You know, like, you're like a, you're like a, yeah, that's my boy right there.
And then he's telling me all about all kinds of stuff that I culture that I knew knew nothing about.
And I was like, that's badass, dude.
And then we're talking and he was like, yeah, 209 because he's a soldier.
He was down with us.
And I was like, bro, you need to tell people where you come from and represent all that shit.
Because I could listen to it all day.
I'm like, if people see you as the fighter, if they could hear what you're about, dude, you're a rock star.
So I'm like, you should be.
And I feel like that about anybody because it's interesting where people come from.
So he kind of put you on that kind of energy a little bit?
No, that's just a thought I had off of where I come from.
I'm like, I don't know.
That's where I come from.
That's what it is.
That's what you see is what you get, what you come from.
That's the core.
And wherever you go, I think it comes from the core of where you're from, what you do.
Not to get all deep and shit, but that's fucking tight.
You know what I'm saying?
Why aren't you born?
People draw where they're from.
And you see them too, and you know, like, we see you, and you're like, New Orleans, dude.
You know what I'm saying?
Right?
New Orleans.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So we ended up with that.
And that's cool.
That's different than just people sitting there like, yep, whatever.
Well, who are you, dude?
That's a New Orleans dude right there.
So I think that might, where do you come from?
There it is, 209.
What's popping?
Let's go.
That's it.
How did the Stockton slap start?
How did that start?
My brother was slapping people in the UFC the whole time.
Was it Robbie Lawler?
Hard P, yeah, he slapped Robbie Lawler right on.
That's his second fight in the UFC.
So in the mainstream, that's where it came from.
That's it.
He started it.
And that's Robbie Lawler.
So it's like, bro, you just smacked that fool.
That's crazy.
Yeah, Robbie's a fucking boss.
Dude, look, it's crazy to see how young he was there, too.
I've seen people just get slapped growing up, like, bam, and scaring the life out of people and no fight even happening.
And being like, man, you just own somebody with a slap.
So it's like.
Yeah, I just slapped this honky one time at a pizza spot.
Yeah.
It was just shit.
It kind of escalated in there.
His energy was kind of saying stuff.
And I could tell he knew that it was like that I didn't like it.
You know what I'm saying?
And I think once you put off that energy, like I don't really like, I don't like what you're saying.
If somebody keeps going, and he was with his girl, bro, and I just had to paw him up.
Oh, good.
And my friends still talk, bro.
And I think I was fucking scared.
It's almost like a nice gesture, too.
It's like, bro, I don't like when I see, like, I don't know where like someone gets.
Someone just murked right in front of you and hit his head on.
I'm like, bro, you just killed that guy, bro.
On my hands, the warning bitch gets fucking in my face.
Yeah.
So it starts nice.
Yeah.
And I just like, you could be a bitch, or now you could get melted because you're coming back and you could shut up or get it.
So that's it.
That's it.
It's like a warning flare.
It is like a shut up, bitch.
I could have just slapped you, but I'm going to slap you and give you a chance.
And I ain't walking around slapping people.
I'm just handing someone being rude like that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Get out of my face.
Yeah.
You can't feel it.
Here it is.
Yeah.
And I think it's just like a moment of like, I'm not afraid to have a little bit of energy if we need to have it here today.
Yeah.
Which a lot of times I feel like that motherfucker.
Fucking God.
I'm thinking shit.
Bro, I slapped him and then I stood there and waited for a fucking medium pizza dude.
And I was like, dude, do not say medium pizza when you hand it.
I just want to, I don't want people to know order the medium, bro, because I was feeling it.
Anybody else need a slap?
I got you.
The dude's like medium sausage, bro.
And I was like, oh, medium sausage, bro.
Sorry, slap that guy, everybody.
This extra large.
And I was like, bro, that's the last thing you want to hear somebody say, and you go and accept them.
Because I've been dealing with medium sausage my whole life, bro.
You know what I'm saying, bro?
But that's another conversation, dude.
What outside, like, outside of like you guys' energy in Stockton, what else does Stockton have?
Like, what else?
Like, what else do people do there?
That's like kind of a joke.
Like, does Stockton have a zoo?
It does have a zoo.
No, that's a lot.
Mickey's Grove.
It's pretty good.
Yeah.
Yep.
They got birds, squirrels.
There's a golf course next to it, though.
Hey, Mickey Grove, step your game up.
We need a tiger.
They got monkeys there.
Oh, shit.
That bitch looks like Trump.
Look at that.
We need a lion.
There used to be a bear.
My grandma lived like a mile away, and we could always, in the morning, you hear the COs in the morning.
You could hear them from my grandma's house.
Really?
Yeah, you can hear my house.
Oh, that's dope, dude.
Is that a Trump monkey?
Was your family pretty close up there?
Like, was y'all like, what was it?
It seemed like a lot of family type of energy up there.
Is it?
Yeah, I got a bunch of family in Stockton.
Yeah.
Do they travel with you to the fights or no?
To the fights?
Like when you fight a big fight, everybody's invited.
I'm always like, where the hell is everybody at?
I don't go invite.
I don't like fighting is a crazy thing.
Everybody's like, I don't invite people to my fights, but it's a public location.
They're invited.
You know what I'm saying?
Fuck you in at the fight.
I never been to one-year fight.
I was like, well, why not, motherfucker?
People get it.
I think people get offended at me for not bringing them to a fight.
I'm like, bro, come on.
Yeah, you know what?
You got to fight somebody.
Do you know the risk of that?
Please come.
I want you to, you know what I'm saying?
I'm just like, yo, it's open to public.
Pull up if you want to pull up.
I don't give a fuck.
So if you guys became, so you guys became friends around 15, did y'all go do shit together?
Like, did y'all go to y'all's first con?
Like, I'm older than him, though.
Oh, you are?
So, yeah, I met him and he came in and then he could fucking box.
I was like, this kid's Lizzie, he could box.
And then, so we started, he came in to train with Nick.
I seen him box with Nick and do really good.
And then, and then I was like, that's cool.
And he came and started working out.
And then I seen him without even knowing, I came to jiu-jitsu classes.
I'm training with everybody.
And then he comes up to me and we start training.
I'm like, Jiu-Jitsu too?
That's what I'm talking about.
Thank God you're a boy.
I was in high school.
Because where I'm from, like, a lot of the boxer kids and everywhere.
It's like boxers are boxers.
And Jiu-Jitsu's.
And I'm like, I was like, oh, a little boxer kid.
Well, that's because he's fighting amateur and stuff.
And I was like, and when he did jiu-jitsu, I was like, hey, when he did jiu-jitsu, hey, respect.
And then we became training partners and homies.
And he was there more than anybody else.
So I was like, that's my guy.
That's it.
My homeboy.
Did you learn from him?
Or would you learn from Nate when you got first?
Yeah, he cracked me in the face.
And I was like, well, what are you doing tomorrow?
We're sparring again at five.
So that's how it kicked off with me and him though.
I was bugging his brother all the time because I was texting.
He put me in and then he was like, go spar my brother.
And so I was always texting Nick, like, hey, what's up?
Can I come back and train?
He'd be like, yeah, go in there at this time and go spar my brother.
And then I was in high school.
So I would just leave, leave class and go.
And he was, he already, well, you, he was like, I was like 24.
I wasn't UFC and stuff.
Oh, he was a damn adult, bro.
That's fucking grooming, bro.
That's funny.
So, yeah, that's fucking grooming, bro.
You fucking bringing those youngsters in.
But you just respected his talent so much, huh?
Yeah, well, a lot of people ain't got it.
And then I'm like, a 15-year-old fight a fucking 20.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I did the same thing when I was 15.
I saw, and I met him.
I was like, man, come on, you like me.
Let's go.
That's it.
That's it, man.
Yeah, but we didn't talk about it.
It just was like that.
Yeah, we just hit.
I don't think we ever even talked about it.
That's how it went down.
But he was fighting consistently.
Dude, weren't you amateur fighting?
Yeah, every weekend.
He was fighting like every week.
Oh, so you were fighting.
Yeah.
I was almost 18.
I was like 16, 17.
So would you go corner him and shit like that?
No, not that.
He had a boxing coach, and he was boxing.
Let's not pull up the pro fights.
We got fucked up records, but we ain't been finished by nobody.
And we've been fighting top competition the whole time.
So it's like, yo, fuck a fuck a record.
In MMA or boxing, you've never been finished?
No.
Yeah, either one of you guys.
No.
They gave me a TGL against Josh Thompson one time, but it was like, I'm chasing him around.
He's scared for his life.
I feel like, and he wants to fight me now.
He's like, oh, he's calling me out.
He did a podcast.
He's calling me.
I'm like, bro, who really won?
Like, I never beat nobody and then been like, I want a rematch.
So my dude.
How about that?
What was supposed to bring you back to life?
Keep podcasting, my boy.
Chris, who got the closest to finishing if there was somebody that got close in one of them?
Eddie.
My brother.
No.
Is your brother tough?
Nah, he's my older brother.
Yeah, he grew up fighting.
That's how I wanted.
I wanted to fight because he was always fighting and shit.
Sorry about that.
Like at school and stuff.
Yeah, he's not a fighter.
Is that why you kind of got into it, you think?
Yeah, because he was a fucking, he was always fighting.
Does he still fight?
No, he didn't.
He never fought like professional.
Yeah, he was a little gangster at the house.
So I was like, what's up?
I want to fight.
He always come home with stories and shit.
Yeah.
It is funny.
Like, brothers want to do kind of what brought that if you're a younger brother, you want to do what your brother does, you know?
And sometimes your brother will quit doing that shit like two weeks later and you just do it the rest of your life, bro.
Was uh, who fought first in your family?
Was it you or Nick?
Oh, Nick's been fighting since I'm a little kid, laughing and shit.
Like, what the hell's going on?
Why are you fighting people?
Nick's been a fighter his whole life.
My brother, my brother led the way.
He was a dude, the first actually, the first Diaz I ever met was Nick.
See if you have that.
I know New York podcast, right?
Yeah.
On Opie on the Opie show.
I seen that recently and I'm like, fuck.
I didn't know you were around then.
That was a long time ago.
Yeah, it was almost 10 years ago now, I think.
When was that?
You didn't even have the hair yet.
Uh-uh, dude, I was so scared too, bro, because they brought in like a fucking fighter, bro.
And I've just recently watched that.
I didn't remember that.
And a fighter knew I knew his name.
Yeah.
I was like one of the first American black belts under a Gracie or something like that.
Like back, you know, way back.
Yeah.
Like I've had my black belt for a long time.
And it's a big deal.
I mean, like, it's not like I'm, I haven't given anybody any belts.
You know what I mean?
How?
And who are these, you know, these people passing around belts?
Like, it's a, you know, I'm like, go win a competition with that belt.
Let's see how you do.
It's not going to happen.
You know what I mean?
Like, it takes a long time to get a lot of people.
I think Lucas is the only one.
Yeah, I don't think you can go and do boxing, like traditional.
They're going to do kickboxing, and that's just going to be enough for them.
And then they want to go home to their nice wife and nice life.
And they've got a whole bunch of other stuff to worry about.
I'm over here, Miles, Jiu-Jitsu, Pro Boxing, Kickboxing, and Judo.
And Sambo.
And I'm doing all of it, taking all of it into consideration.
And I always have.
So, damn, I look fucking homosexual in that bitch, bro.
No, I just saw that.
I'm like, damn, deal with him.
I can't remember the interview.
Everlast Boxing Talk00:03:40
I didn't remember you were in it.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
I didn't remember I was in it either.
Is that the guy from fucking that's in New York, right?
Yeah.
That was in the building where they also had Howard Stern was in the same building as Opie.
And they're like, is that where Shady 45 is?
I did one in there too, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And you go through the whole, there's like just a bunch of them in the windows and stuff.
I did a podcast.
I was telling them earlier, I did a podcast with Everlast in there.
Did they have you guys freestyle rapping and shit?
No, no, no.
It was Shady 45 and it was Everlast.
And I was sitting there, Nick, with me and Nick in there together.
And I'm sitting there and I'm like, why am I sitting by Everlast?
I shouldn't be by this motherfucker.
Because I was, I was, I was fucking on Eminem's side.
Oh, you had a different promotion?
No.
You know, Eminem diss on Everlast.
Oh, yeah.
And I was like, bro, I don't know if Eminem will be cool with me being here like this.
I don't think I should be here.
What the fuck are we doing with Everlast?
Because he was dissing Everlast Hard on Thing.
And me and Eminem fucking are homies.
You know what I'm saying?
Really?
No, I don't know him.
I never met him in my life.
But I was committed.
I was like, bro, I was in the music on that side.
I was like, I'm on his side.
And then we're talking and they're asking questions.
I'm just sitting there and they ask me something.
I'm like, are you cool with Eminem now?
He's like, yeah, man.
Come on.
What did you think?
He's like, we're on Shady 45.
All right, right.
I think I was like, he's like bringing up a beef that happened five to ten years ago.
I was like, I shouldn't have asked him now.
I was young, though.
And I was like, I shouldn't have asked him.
Dude, what shit you do, bro?
I remember one time I was on the Eminem side, though.
At least you were on his side, too.
Like you were on the ground.
I did like Everlast, but when he started this, I was like, no more Everlast for me.
But now I like Everlast.
And he was always cool, too.
I met him a few times.
You met Eminem?
No, I'm talking about Everlast.
I never met Eminem.
You never met him.
Damn, dude.
He rapped about me in the song, though.
Yeah, what's wrong with you?
I forget the name of the song, but he.
Yo, Cap, I know you're out there.
Send me the song with.
I forget the name of it, but it was a new song.
Here we go, right there.
And he rapped about me.
And God's my alias, so if I don't have faith in me, then it basically makes me an atheist.
Nate Diaz got the world by the tracheas in a chokehold and a sleeper.
Dang, bro.
That's damn, bro.
I made it.
That's all I needed in life.
It all came back.
It all circled back.
I was like, gang, bang on Everlast.
And then here you are.
We made it.
That's wild.
Did you ever get to you?
Have you ever got to meet him since?
Hey, shout out to Everlast, too.
I like Everlast.
We see each other.
We're like, what happened every time?
Oh, Everlast is a person?
Everlasting.
I'll be right back.
Is that what it's like?
Yeah, you don't know what it is.
I got you.
I was thinking about Evanescence, I think.
No, Everlast.
He was thinking about Evan Essence.
Or no, I was thinking about the fucking boxing.
The boxing rap?
That's Everlasting.
And I was sitting there.
Hey, this song was on in my head, too.
And I'm sitting there next to Everlasting Nick's talking to the interview.
I'm like, fuck we doing in here, man.
And on the real, I only went there because it was, we were doing an interview on Shady 45.
Sick.
And it was Everlasting.
I was like, man, I shouldn't be here.
Huh?
Turn it off.
Oh, yeah, because the audio stopped.
We ain't got a trademark for that.
What up?
What jobs did y'all have before fighting took over for you that was heavy?
Shady 45 Interview00:06:24
Did y'all have work?
Did y'all have employment?
Or were y'all like I sold weed?
I worked at a burger spot, too.
I was just telling them I worked at a place called Bonenburger.
I used to barbecue tri-tips.
I was probably 14 years old.
And my brother started training with this guy, Steve Heath, and his brother, Gary, who trained a little bit, he worked next to the gym at this burger spot.
And he got me a job with him.
And he worked inside, ran the restaurant, and I barbecued across the parking lot on the grill.
And then when people hit me up for a dab or an eighth or something, I pull up to the spot, say, post barbecue, and I drop on, I would drop him an eighth, flip a tri-tip, go inside, make a cheeseburger.
I get down.
That was my only job.
What about you?
I didn't really have a job.
What?
Were y'all real rich?
Nah, hell no.
Broke as far as a broken.
But you poor and not rich.
No, no, I had jobs, but me and my homies, we'd get jobs, but we didn't last for that long.
They were bus boys.
Were you really?
No, I worked at a winery.
I worked at a winery for a long time, and then I worked at my dad's shop here and there for some money.
Yeah, I didn't have like a job job.
And the tinted windows, bro, they only let you go so dark, dude.
I remember one time I got mine done, and they got bubbles on mine.
Nah.
Creases.
Creases.
I can't see out this punch.
Man, I knew I shouldn't let cream bubble my way up.
That's when that shit's bad when you have to fucking drive.
That's why some people started driving like this because that's the only way they can see out the front.
Bro, they had this setup over in not even far from here where you would get your windows tinted.
And they had to deal with the cops that right after the cops would pull.
They were just pulling people over right as they left those joints.
Damn.
A villa.
Yep, that's me.
That's me.
That's Nate's car.
Come get your window 10 50 off.
Yeah, 50.
That's a CTE.
Over time with fighting, is CTE, does it feel like a real thing to you guys?
Is that something?
Do you think that fighting has affected the way that you're able to think?
When you do comedy, did CTE fuck with you?
That's when it was.
I hate tactics with the CT.
You see my kind of comments.
They give me a CT every time.
Man, I'm hot.
Oh, they do?
Oh, I didn't even know that.
What?
CT?
Like, does it really affect?
Because you guys have taken a lot of punches in your life.
You know, like, not as many as a lot of guys, I'm sure, but you guys are in football.
You guys are real fighters.
I feel like it's, yeah, I feel like football probably a lot more than the fight.
Yeah.
You had a documentary because I played football too.
I remember when I fucking would hit helmets with people and have a headache all night.
You know, I had a headache for years playing football.
Yeah, fuck that.
That was fucked up.
I don't know what the question was about CT.
I just started thinking about it.
What did you say?
Did it affect me?
My CT's kicking in.
I think that answers it, bro.
Did you guys have to get vaccinated?
Did you guys get vaccinated?
I didn't get vaccinated ever.
Nah, did you?
No, I didn't.
Fuck yeah, dude.
Fuck you.
Fuck them.
Vaccinate yourself, motherfucker.
Yeah.
Oh, you guys' gym over in Stockton.
It's the Nick Diaz Academy.
And you guys have had a lot of great fighters out of there.
Jake Shields, Gilbert Melendez.
How has it changed over the years there?
Like, has it evolved?
What's it been like?
Well, they're not out of the Nick Diaz account.
We're all from Caesar Gracie.
Okay.
Nick and Jake and David Durrell.
Those were three black butts under Caesar Gracie.
And spread out for them with Tyson Griffin and Nate Ducharm and a couple names out of Dave Terrell's, who was the first black belt under Caesar.
And then Nick was me and him.
Nick was me and him and our team at Nick Diaz Academy.
And then Jake Shields had Gilbert Melendez and a whole team.
Oh, so it's different than I thought.
Yeah, but we're like a family tree type of thing.
And we all come from Caesar Gracie fight team.
And then we're the Stockton Stockton team.
Does the energy feel as alive there as ever with young fighters coming up?
Yeah, there's youngsters in there coming out of wrestling and jiu-jitsu kids and boxers and shit.
And everybody, then they were like, we're going to go back.
Right.
I've been gone for two weeks.
Gonna go back and they're all gonna be ready for us, ready to kill and shit.
So science on and popping when you go to the gym.
Are you guys training people as well in there?
Like, or what is like, I know you guys train yourselves, but yeah, I train with everybody.
I'm more of a like I just train with everyone.
I'm like, you want to learn some?
Let's train because I learned a lot of my and most of the stuff I know from experience and training with people and I've got better from that.
So I let the guys run the show at the gym and then I come in and I just participate with everybody.
And then he's right.
He's right.
Yeah, I'm just training with everybody.
Do you guys feel like fighting should be taught in schools?
I think jiu-jitsu should be.
I think jiu-jitsu 100% should be.
Law enforcement.
Law enforcement.
Yeah, but if they didn't in school, then by the time they get to law enforcement, they would know.
And then if you're going to do law enforcement, you'd be like, well, I better step my game up because you would be conscious and aware of it because you learned it in school.
You're like, that's the only thing that's done pretty much.
Did they have boxing back in the day?
This, dude.
Today it's crazy to think boxing used to be.
Like in high school, in high school.
This was in school.
This is in London in the 1930s.
Okay, in high school.
Yeah, not the mountains.
But look at this shit.
To have this.
Watch this kid.
This gets good.
That's how I was.
Imagine this at school, though.
You got to be sick.
Why you got all the girls down there?
Damn, that's gentrification.
That's how it happens, dude.
That's how you make friends.
One mixed guy showed up and everything fucking went.

You said that you think jiu-jitsu should be taught in schools.
What makes you say that?
Well, just for self-defense in general, I think people should know how to defend themselves a little.
Have they be a little more stable walking around?
I think it helps them.
I think it helps with everything, you know, kind of like common sense type of thing.
Like, I think people would get hurt less more and think a little more about what to do.
I can go on all day, but, you know, like jiu-jitsu, I think it's necessary for everybody.
It's like learning how to swim.
Like, I think everybody should learn how to swim.
What if you fall in some fucking water?
Yeah.
So that's what I think about jiu-jitsu, too.
People are walking around acting cool and shit.
I'm like, what if somebody just drowns you?
So that's why I started training.
I'm like, you know, people actually walk around and can do this to you.
Yeah, right.
I'm going to master this shit.
Is that what your kind of mentality was starting out with it?
Yeah, you're walking around helpless and you don't even know it.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
A fucking title wave might come.
You're going to fucking drown.
So that's scary to me.
Yeah.
So I would learn how to do that.
Yeah, it's fucked up.
No, you're right.
People don't even think about it or consider it, though.
People are like, oh, I could fight.
When's the last fight you got in?
Yeah.
You don't even know that you can't fight.
And I know that you don't know that.
You know what I'm saying?
It's like, and people aren't even conscious or aware of that.
So I think that's a scary situation.
Just get all deep again about it.
Yeah, yeah, bro.
That's why I'm saying that.
Just because you slapped a guy one time at a pizza parlor doesn't mean you can fucking defend yourself.
It's true.
He might have been able to just drown you and you don't even know it.
So it's like, he might have saved my life that day.
He might have said, I could fucking, you're too down for him.
He's like, nah, fuck that.
This guy just drowning me.
I'm out.
Yeah, I think definitely the confidence building.
Yeah, I learned how to talk to people.
And like, I would go to train when I'm a kid, 15, and I'd get smoked.
I'd get high as fuck all the time.
And I would go on the train and it would be like, I'd hate coming on time because I'd be like, if I go on time, we got to sit down and talk to all these guys.
And the guys who train are like cops and work at a bakery and doctors.
And everybody was older than me.
I was a kid.
And I was like, social anxiety.
I was like, I don't want to go talk to these people.
I'm going to talk to them.
I ain't going to talk to a kid, you know what I'm saying?
So I'm like, I got to go talk to these people.
I could only talk to my friends.
So I'd go there and then I train with them, these 35-year-old dudes and shit.
And I'd fucking choke everybody because I was there more than them.
And I'd be like, and then all of a sudden they're asking questions about the movie.
And I'm telling them about the moves.
And they're going here.
And they're like, what are you doing?
Are you in school?
I'm like, yeah, I'm here.
And also we're in a full-on conversation.
And I'm talking to 35-year-old cops.
And I'm selling weed and training and not talking to anybody older than me.
So I learned how to talk to people and understand people and, you know, communicate.
So it helps with just falling into the social pipeline.
It's not funny.
So that helped me there.
And then, especially after training, you're getting an endorphin off your hobby.
You're like, I'm not asking you something you know about not, so you're explaining.
Look, you go here, you pass the guard, like this and do like that, and then they're going.
Well hey, what do you do in the daytime?
I go running, I gotta do this and, like one, go get lunch, you know.
And now you got a friend and all of a sudden you're friends with some 35 year old cop and like, what kid do you know that sells weed, is friends with a cop, that's like, and now you guys are just homeboys.
And then, and it's like, I learned a lot from all that training and yeah, it helped with everything.
Yeah yeah dude, there was something oh, the endorphins after a class.
Even if you just got choked out by a fucking like a 35 pound girl right, you'd be like fuck yeah, I'm gonna get that bitch next week.
You know it could be, dude.
I got choked out by this fucking 13 year old girl.
I will say this, I think she had taken some Tai Bo or whatever it's called Taekwondo Taekwondo, right.
And so I was like okay, so this.
Obviously, you know, this bitch knows what she's doing, or whatever.
But anyway, I fucking got leveled out by this chick in one class and I just remember driving home in my head thinking I'm gonna fuck that kid up next week, which was a crazy thought.
But uh, but also yeah, the endorphins people you would meet if you're choking out a fucking baker.
You like fucking smell those cinnamon rolls, bitch.
You know I better get a free fucking, My Bad.
That's some other shit, bro.
That's that fucking.
Look at the dude on the right, bro.
That dude.
He's excited.
Oh, he's fucking.
He loves Tybo.
He'll put Paul Nelson in your ass.
That fella right there, bro.
He'll half Nelson some dude's balls in his throat.
That's fucking crazy, bro.
Is fighting fun for you guys now?
Does it change over time once it becomes a career?
It's the best thing to do, like training-wise, I think.
Helps out with life and shit.
So I think.
Yeah, I've been fighting for so long.
I think him too.
It's like we've been doing this for so long.
If you're not fighting, it's like, that's what I do.
Right.
So, and then when you train for a fight and get done with the fight, like, fuck that shit.
What the fuck out of this?
Put in all kinds of work and did all this.
Because nobody could do that.
It's a lot of work.
And then not even the work, too.
Just the mental, just go to swim.
Like, if someone needs normal had to fight, you're fighting.
They might be like, okay, they're going to go sleep.
I can't sleep.
They can't even make it to a fight.
So it's like, it's a whole thing.
And then once you get done, you're like, man, I was finally cool.
I'm glad it's over.
I ain't fucking doing that shit.
Two months goes by.
And you're like, well, man, what the fuck?
I need to get back to what I do.
Damn.
It's just what I do now.
So it's like, when you're not fighting, you're like, all right, I got to get back.
I got to be, I got to do what I do.
So that's how it is for me, for you.
At a certain point, I noticed even with comedy, like it chews this thing, the thing you do, eventually it chooses you as well.
Yeah, it's like, I have to do this because this is what I do now.
Like, I can make millions of dollars doing all kinds of shit.
I'm like, fuck, fucking, there's nothing like doing what you do.
Yeah, I gotta, I gotta, it doesn't feel like you're doing the right thing.
So fighting for me is just what I do now.
And it sucks and it's great and all that.
Yeah.
Yeah.
What's the part about it that sucks the most for you guys?
Dieting.
Wow, what you thinking about?
You'd be sitting there thinking about something type of like.
It's like fasting.
We were talking about earlier.
How many Zins you got in?
None.
One.
Damn, this would be big.
I know.
I don't like swallowing the spit and you're zen.
Get in that jar.
It'll hurt your stomach.
Do you do Zins?
No, dude.
I'm vaping right now and I'm fasting.
I feel like a fucking Native American over in this bitch or something.
I feel like a damn Hindu or something.
I got enough problems, bro.
Damn, Chris is fucked up.
Are you fucked up?
Bathroom breaks has a Zin.
Yeah, go for it, man.
I'm going to pimp.
Bro, I've had some fun times in there with him, bro.
I've had some fun times in there.
I'm sitting there.
Yeah, he'll love that dude.
Yeah, Joe's been supportive.
He's the one who told me he said like a year ago we were staying busy like with podcasts and he's he's like if you start doing two episodes a week then nobody will be able to stop you that's what he told me oh wow and he just said yeah and so we Started to challenge ourselves.
And it's kind of wild.
Like, because there'd be, it used to be hard for me to even go like an hour with podcasting.
And now, some conversations I'll go, it'll be two and a half hours.
And it'll be.
His are like that long as fuck.
You're like, damn.
His have so much information.
I'm like, fuck, I'm dumb.
I'll leave out of there feeling like, fuck, I got to go study.
I just feel dumb.
He's, he just is interested in so many things, right?
And he really is interested.
That's the thing.
Yeah.
He really fucking wants.
He just like, it's like walking in the library.
I feel like, oh, I'm fucked.
Like, I can study forever and I won't get past the fucking magazines, you know?
And wind up just trickling off to all kinds of shit.
And you're like, damn, now I'm in some situation where I don't know what the fuck we're talking about.
And so you see this one fight, right?
You saw that?
Cool.
We got to circle back.
Yeah.
So a lot of circle.
Dude, yeah, I wish I could call timeout sometimes in Joe's podcast just to give myself my brain a chance to meet to give my brain a pep talk in those bitches, bro.
Because he's just so smart and so interested.
So you got the MVP promotion and it's Netflix.
It's the Mike Perry fight.
That's what's coming up.
How did the fight come to be?
Well, me and Mike Perry have been the biggest thing on the outside of the UFC.
Yeah.
I've been following his DKFC stuff.
He's been a cool minute and he's been doing moves and making shit happen and respect because nobody's doing knows how to do shit.
People who are the talent are just the fucking talent.
And I'm like, bro, I have to get out of here because I'm not, that's not what I am.
And I get out and I'm like, what I do is fight.
I need to do what I do.
So I've been like, there's nobody out here.
And then he's out there doing the thing.
And we got offered each other a few times.
And it was in the direction of it happening.
And a couple of things happened to happen.
And now it's happening.
So that unfortunately, this is the only way to make it happen.
Because it's time.
He's been doing a great job.
He's been knocking people.
He beat fucking beat middleweight champion Rock Holten.
He beat Rock Holten.
He beat Eddie Albrecht's lightweight champion for years.
He beat Jeremy Stevens up.
He beat who the who else?
He be just back-to-back whooping everybody.
Like he beat MVP.
I never know.
Yeah, MVP does a good job.
He out there knocking people on doing a good job.
It's a close one.
That one went to the cards, didn't it?
Yeah.
And everybody complains about MVP's boring fights, but you need someone like Mike Perry who's going to go forward.
That made it a fucking war.
It was dope.
He dropped.
Yeah, that makes a good fight.
And that's what I said back in the day.
Like, I ain't fighting people who aren't fighters.
I'm fighting fighters because that makes good fights.
And that goes down in the brain in the memory bank for fucking fights in history is good fighters fighting each other.
And I think that was the best thing to do out here is beat somebody who's doing a fucking great job at fucking whipping ass and making bigger moves and just being a fucking meathead ass fighter.
And that's what I'm attacking is the best of the best.
And Mike's a fan favorite.
People love him.
People love both you guys.
You guys have such huge fan bases and stuff.
It's fuck.
That's going to be a tough one to watch, bro.
It's going to be fucking tough one to watch.
And I remember earlier, I was like, are you excited for this fight?
And you're like, bro, that's not exactly the way to say it.
Yeah.
It's not the feeling.
What is the feeling more?
Because as a fan, yeah, you kind of ask this dumb question.
Like, are you excited?
The feeling is just get in there and get out of it alive and don't fuck up.
So fuck excited.
Fuck, bro.
I'm fucking scared.
And I'm not even going to, I'm just going to be, I'm going to come to, I'm going to go.
But yeah, I'm fucking scared.
You have a training camp?
I'm scared now, bro.
Damn.
Your training camp starts tomorrow.
You're not even fighting.
That's exciting.
Yeah.
Watch a fight.
Nah, that's cool, though.
You're right, though.
That's kind of thing.
It's hard to like so few people could put themselves into that perspective, bro, because so many people, a fight is one of the scariest things, bro.
It's like public speaking with your fucking face and fists, you know?
It's the scariest thing to people.
And the fact that you guys do it, man, I think that's what makes all the fighters warriors.
Like when I go watch UFC, dude, I'm like, these people are fucked.
They do something that's so foreign to so many people.
Remember Gladiator when the Russell Crows is getting ready to go on?
He does that.
He's been in war forever.
And he's standing there.
And he's ready to go out.
Like, fuck, we gotta go to war around him, like some fucking slaves.
This is crazy.
And he's looking at the other slaves.
You got to go to one and it's a guy in front of him shaking and peeing.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah.
Fuck.
Fuck that.
Yeah, that's everybody.
You don't know nothing about that.
He's just sitting there.
That's a good fucking scene right there.
Yeah.
He's like, calm down, we're going to make it out live.
That's Gladiator.
Remember, he's standing in the back and they're all there and they're making them out to fight.
They're like, you're going to fight for entertainment.
And then the guy in front of him, but that's what he does because he's running right away.
They were hunting him down and he ran the whole army.
So that's what he does.
And he's going to go out there to go to war with a bunch of rookies.
He's like, come on, let's go.
And then the guy in front of him is just peeing.
He's shivering.
He's peeing.
And he's going out.
I think he's looking like, damn, that's fucked up.
Stand by me, dog.
Stay close, bro.
Stay fucking.
I would be hiding under somebody.
So that, when people say, are you excited?
The guy who says, are you excited? reminds me of that guy.
You're like, come on.
Let's go to war.
Amen, bro.
And you have a fight too, Avila.
It just announced on the card against Brendan Jenkins?
Yeah, Brandon Jenkins.
So it was the same day, May 16th.
And yeah, he fought in UFC a few times.
He fought in PFL.
He fought a lot too.
And it's MMA.
Real Fight Training00:15:36
MMA, yeah.
Yeah.
Do you prefer one or the other these days?
Not really.
I've been fighting boxing.
My last MMA fight was in 21.
So I'm excited to get back in there.
He boxed when I fought too.
He fought.
Who'd you fight last?
My last fight.
Oh, my last fight against a guy.
On MVP.
It was against Ariel Perez.
But the fight before that, no, yeah, that was in August.
But the last fight I had, oh, before that was Ben Henderson in the UK.
Yeah.
And then he fought.
Who'd you fight Pat?
He fought.
I fought.
Jeremy Steve.
Yeah, I beat them both.
And that was all boxing.
It was all boxing.
Yeah.
But yeah, we're getting back in the MMA right here.
And will you guys train to get, you guys will be in camp together?
Yeah.
So what does the camp look like this time?
Does it look different because of these fighters that you're fighting?
Like, do you start to shape it for that?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, with boxing, you're just boxing all the time.
Now we got wrestling, wrestling coming in, MMA fighters coming in, kickboxers coming in.
It's a lot more work than easy ass boxing.
But yeah, we got everybody coming in for four full war war zones.
We'll get the best, the best in every art.
We get the best kickboxer.
I'm going to bring Joe Schilling out.
You got to kick up a few.
Yeah, he's got to fight too.
And then they got a bunch of kickboxers they're going to bring out with them.
And we'll drill and train that.
And I got my boxing coach, Richard Perez.
And then me and him and about a dozen other pro fighters at the gym.
And then we're going to bring sparring.
We're going to bring sparring in for that.
And then I got Nick Salvar runs in my wrestling program at the gym.
And he's going to bring in wrestlers.
And I got Ernie Reyes out here rolling me everywhere.
He's the best dude.
Remember when he hit Bobby?
Yeah.
We're not going to say we're taking that out, Ernie.
Don't even worry.
Asian on Asian crime.
We're going to beat some brown on brown crime.
Dude, yeah, a lot of people hit Bobby.
A lot of people think you and Mike Perry should fight for the winner, gets to say the N-word, bro.
That's what it really should be.
I feel like I heard you guys are going to train right after this.
Yeah, my boxing coach just flew in, so we're going to go meet him.
I wanted to take a nap, but it's good.
Remember that one guy who don't like naps?
Oh, yeah, he had beef with naps.
Who was he?
John Bernthal.
I was on Instagram.
You know who it is, right?
Yeah, John Bernthal.
Yeah, that guy hates me.
He apologized.
Oh, he hates naps.
I know who John Bernard.
Was he sarcastic about?
Yeah, he apologized.
No, kind of.
I don't like naps if you ain't doing shit either.
But if you're doing shit, you need a nap.
Yeah, sometimes if I know I have a lot of shit to do, though, it's hard to find.
I don't call it a nap either, pussy.
I say I fucking close my eyes for five seconds.
Maybe it's funny.
I don't take naps.
I actually don't have time for naps, man.
What's this guy's beef with nap?
This motherfucker takes naps.
I don't trust people to take naps, dude.
I just found out he doesn't take naps, dude.
He's a grown-ass man.
No.
He did.
Yeah.
It's like, dude, like, the whole world's moving while you're napping, bro.
It's fucking.
I can't fuck with a nap.
I just got.
Hey, you want to know something?
I take naps.
Hey, I take naps.
I don't sleep.
Hey, if that dude came with me for a day, what's his name again?
John Bernthal.
I like him too.
He's cool.
Remember on the movie?
He was on that zombie show.
He was a zombie.
So he beat the zombies out of in Atlanta.
But if that motherfucker came with me for the week, that boy would be sleeping.
He'd be taking naps.
And I'd be waiting.
I'm like, I hate naps, motherfucker.
Get up.
It's time to grind.
That guy should have hang out with me.
He'd be napping.
Will this fight?
Will this be y'all's biggest payday for fights?
Same for me.
Okay.
And if that's too personal, same regular payday.
Yeah.
Because it's, I mean, Netflix is, it feels like to me, it's trying to get into the fight game, obviously.
You know, this is going to be kind of their first MMA card.
Is that right, Nick?
Yeah.
And they're just doing live events like spectacles, and that's why they need the big names.
Did you feel like something like this would come along?
Did you feel like just the way that's the way that the business was headed?
It was kind of like when the pay-per-view models kind of flipped over, you could tell some change would be made, and he didn't know about it.
So you're like, but now you're like, okay, we could work with that.
You know what I'm saying?
So, yeah, we didn't know what to expect before.
You didn't see it coming, but now that it's here, it makes sense.
Yeah.
You feel me?
Yeah.
But I got my own promotion.
I'm planning on kicking off the whole been since I was trying to get out since I was trying to get out years ago.
So I understand it.
And it's cool.
It's cool that I'm starting to understand better.
And I'm going to learn more as I go.
It I plan on running shit over with it too.
Did you learn a lot from just like the experience with the Jake Paul fight?
Like half.
Like just like the just like seeing like the business, like more, just having to.
No, I've seen it that developing.
I could see them, I could see them picking up game and understanding that I went.
And I'm always learning something about something.
So I think every experience, yeah, you're picking up as you go.
Yeah.
Not specifically what I learned that they're doing the same as we go, you know?
Yeah.
Was there a chance that you were going to come back in the UFC?
I want to go back to the UFC, yeah.
Yeah.
I fucking have bigger.
I have bigger offers from the UFC than I got from these guys.
But the offers were the opponents weren't the right opponents at the moment.
And I believe everything in this in this fight game and a lot of things, but the fight game is timing.
And I think that if I would have went to the UFC, I wouldn't have been fighting the fighters that I want to be fighting.
I want to fight the best of the best.
And if I'm not going to get that, then I'm going to fight the biggest thing I could.
That was offering.
Yeah, like I like, all right, for instance, like, I think that if I went back to the UFC, they want me to fight Conor McGregor right now.
For me, Conor McGregor, just pull up his record.
Do we got his record?
Okay, I know this, but I'm like, I'm thinking about it.
I'm like, Connor McGregor just fucking lost to Poirier, I think.
He got knocked out on his ass.
What's his last two?
So I can refresh my memory.
Poirier, right?
Okay.
So Poirier knocks his ass out, right?
And then he breaks his leg, which was horrible because Poirier is a fucking sorry little bitch.
Disagree.
And he, yeah, I know, what can you say?
And I'm like, I'm like, he knocks him out and then he gets his leg broken.
And it's like, fuck, that's fucking horrible.
Like, we're adversaries, but I'm like, bro, you broke your whole shit.
I don't wish that on nobody, you know what I'm saying?
And then he got knocked out.
And then like, I'm like, okay, I hope he comes back and does good.
I hope he does it.
You know what I'm saying?
And then it was kind of mounted down.
And I'm like, all right, cool.
And then he's going to come back.
And I know he's having a hard time with the UFC because I've been having my hard times with the UC.
And I'm like, yo, good vibes to him.
Handle your shit.
And in the meantime, I'm doing whatever I'm doing.
And then when he is ready to come back now, and he's motivated and doing what he's got to do.
And I'm like, okay, I want to fight motherfucking BMF motherfucker who's claiming my belt that's running all around.
Charles Oliver just won the fight, right?
Yeah.
I'm like, all right, you're rocking my belt now and you're running around like you're the best motherfucker.
So that's when I'm like, yo, what's popping with the UFC?
So I'm like, let's link up and get this fight popping.
And then I go back to talk to them about it.
And they're all ready for me to come back and fight.
Connor, I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Listen to what I'm talking about.
I want to fight the best of the best when they are the best of the best.
Connor's great, but I'm not trying to go kill off Connor when he's on his last dying fucking leg.
Literally, that's fucked up.
But I'm not trying to be the ending to some fucker's story like that.
Right.
Like, we ain't friends, we ain't none of that.
But I ain't trying to finish this dude off.
I want, and that's what I plan on doing if we're fighting.
And at the same time, I ain't trying to get up by nobody who just got knocked out on his ass and broke his leg all the time.
They're like, this guy's down and up.
Now he's none but motivated to fight me.
Right.
Because who else are going to fight in there?
And they're probably going to give him a fucking BMF belt, fucking bitch ass Olivera, who I believe I'll beat the fucking shit out of.
You know what I'm saying?
Olivera.
Yeah, he's been in the gap.
People I've been beat, beat him.
I beat Pettis Pettis, choked that fool.
I beat Saroni, Sony, kicked him all up in his ass, pugged him like a little bitch.
And then, but if he turns out, he's walking around with my belt, though.
Yeah, he got your jewelry.
He's walking around with my belt.
And this fool actually, one time, he won the title.
And I'm like, what's up?
I'll fight all of it.
I know I'll be Olivera.
And then Olivera is like, no, thanks homie.
I put a tweet out like I'll fight him.
And then he put a tweet out like, no, thanks, homie.
I'm trying to fight for big stuff world championships and do this.
I'm like, oh, I'm okay.
I'm not.
I understand you have the right to big league me because you're Mr. Champion anything.
And it's like, all right, go ahead, put your sorry ass in.
And then a few months later, a little while later, after Connor breaks his leg all up and gets knocked out all the place, this fool's like, I'll fight Connor McGregor.
I'm like, I thought you wanted bigger and better things.
You picking on people who are on the downfall.
And that's my perspective on the whole situation.
Got it.
So then they want me to come back and fight Olivera.
I believe they want me to come back and fight Connor McGregor, not Olivera.
You know, I'm like, well, I'm going to fight for my belt that I created that I deserve since I started a whole division to bring value up to all these fucking fighters.
Right, you started BMF though.
I started the whole shit.
That's me.
That's my belt you're wearing on my hips.
So yeah, you just got tatted with a BMF belt.
That's me that you're holding.
Okay.
And they're like, okay, we want you to come back.
And then maybe later we'll do that.
I'm like, okay, well, you know who's doing a good job?
The same, almost close to the same amount offer for Mike Berry, who's the fucking most violent motherfucker around right now.
Facts, doing things, taking over businesses, running shit, doing his own promotion.
And I'm like, that sounds a lot more, a lot more, I'm a lot more enthusiastic to get up and run and get ready to train for this motherfucker who's going to knock me out or I'm going to knock his ass out.
And we're going to take what's the bigger dog of the bigger best motherfuckers there are, you know what I'm saying?
And then in the meantime, I'm not fighting for MVP.
I'm fighting for Netflix and I'm fighting from Real Fighting Corporated, which I'll probably be doing next with Netflix anyway, Real Fight Entertainment on a thing and show you how to throw a real MMA fight show.
I've been in the UFC for 20 years now.
So I'm like, yo, I'm going to do that from Real Fighting.
With, you know, I'm not working for fucking MVP like all these other motherfuckers are.
I'm a UFC fighter.
I'm working for me for Real Fighting.
And I'm hunting Jake Paul's motherfucking ass, not taking a fight with a guy who's on the comeback.
Me and Connor will fight again when the time is right and it's time to fight.
But it's going to be when we both on the uprise, not when someone's dying out or coming.
I'm not nobody's comeback story either.
So I'm fighting the most dangerous, most violent motherfucker there is on Netflix.
And then I'm hunting his boy that he works with at MVP.
So that's what I'm doing right now.
That's my objective.
And that's what I'm doing.
I didn't want to talk about it, but that's what's happening.
Oh, no.
I didn't.
And I didn't know that.
No, it's all good, but if it came up, that's what it is.
And his real fight incorporated, that's your group.
And you guys are co-promoters on the fight.
Yeah, a little bit.
Then we're having, I'm like, do your thing, whatever.
I'm just going to do this because I stay active.
I want to stay active fighting because that's what I'm saying.
You want to have respect for yourself and whatever.
You want to do what I do.
And not fighting is not it.
You know, and I fight.
That's what I do.
So I put on fighting forever, and that's what I'm doing right now.
Find the best guy I could fight on the outside.
I'm bigger than fighting some no-name ass motherfuckers in UFC or somebody on a down spiel.
I'm like, but as far as the UFC is concerned, I'm fucking in love with the UFC.
That's my shit.
That's where I come from.
And that's what it is.
And all this shit came from it.
Like, even Jake Paul's fucking ass.
And he's over here having a beef with the UFC.
I'm like, the UFC made you, motherfucker, because you found a loophole and you went and boxed a bunch of UFC fighters.
I know, too.
I'm in on the joke.
MMA fighters cannot box.
You know what I'm saying?
Who was the fight that when you hear him say this stuff, Chris?
How do you feel about it?
I was just listening.
That's all.
That's his thing.
Yeah, I feel it, though.
Yeah, I don't know.
That's his situation.
I don't really know.
Do you like, do you think he needs any different type of prep to fight a guy like Mike Perry?
Nah, I think Mike Perry is a good, good.
That's right up the alley for a real fight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Fuck.
The good part about him is he comes to fight.
Oh, he comes in and he tries to take you clean out.
And that's what I'm trying to do too.
And if you're going to try to take me clean out, you know, it's hard to fight a guy who's trying not to fight you.
And a lot of my losses on my record or any fights I've lost have been motherfuckers who are trying not to fight me.
You know, and loophole around the whole fighting.
Even like, even like Paul, I feel like I beat Ball.
But a lot of people felt that way.
But it was his like big show.
So it's like, okay, all right.
But I know I know from experience, I ain't winning no decisions, even if I do.
So watch that fight over and read the punch count in your own count without somebody else's.
I won that fight, too.
You mentioned a couple of guys in that.
And you mentioned Poirier, who I'm obviously a huge fan of and I love.
What was the, and yeah, and I obviously disagree with how you feel about it, but you guys are fighters and I'm not pussy.
I'm not in you guys's universe.
So except as a fan.
Why didn't that fight ever kind of show up for you guys?
MMA Fan Debate00:04:34
Because he had pussy surgery when we were supposed to fight.
Yeah.
There's a video of it.
Pull the video about him in the hospital.
Wait, no, but he had part of his knee scope, didn't he?
No, his hip.
Pussy.
Yeah, that fight was lined up when we had Dustin Poirier on in 2018.
Right.
Yeah, he's got a pussy.
Pull the video when he was in hospital and they fucked you, Nate, you know, Diggs.
If it was a pussy, I will say this, it looked just like a hip.
Pussy.
Pussy removal.
Yeah.
Didn't he say fuck you?
Talking all that shit about steroids.
Fuck you, Nate.
He's on anesthesia.
Yeah, bro.
His pussy was removed.
All right.
His penis was removed.
Yeah, penis removal surgery.
So we didn't get to fight.
Yeah, like was that one that like did that?
Let's make fun of him a little bit.
Come on.
Louisiana ass pussy boy.
I'm kidding.
It's all good, baby.
Nah, no, pussy.
You guys are one of those guys that he quit his job and it was like, I want to box me in a thing.
I'm like, why'd you quit too early, stupid?
He fucking was hurting it.
He couldn't even move one of his legs.
He's emotional.
I mean, he didn't have much motion.
He's emotional.
His fucking fucking estrogen levels were high.
He got estrogen high.
I would never want to get hit by his estrogen then, that's for sure.
That shit rubs off.
That's why I'm like, I'm cool.
I'll find that pussy.
Because it rubs off.
It does.
You hang out with pussies.
You know what I'm saying?
What if you fight one, too?
And then it's like, he tried to hold on to you too much.
You got pussy on me.
Bro, he's a fucking one of the toughest UFC fighters ever, bro.
He's one of the greats.
Toye?
Yeah.
Whatever, dude.
I'm kidding.
No, he's one of the greats.
Yeah, he's done good.
All right, they're done.
I'm going to change the subject.
I'm kidding.
I'm just giving you shit.
Do you think Jake Paul will ever fight MMA or do you think that's all just?
And what do you think I'm doing here?
I'm on the hunt.
I'm going to take his ass clean out.
I got to fight Perry, get through the fight who's a really big task at hand.
And then we get the Paul fight.
And that'll be MMA.
Yeah, we'll see.
Tom will tell, though.
And I ain't going to get it.
But he said a lot that he's going to have to fight MMA.
Jake is a fighter.
Yeah, I know that he says that.
That's what he says.
That's what he says.
We'll see.
I think he will, though.
I'm just saying.
What did they say?
Talkist.
Projected into a fucking existence?
Oh, okay.
He does that good.
So, yeah, I think he's going to be.
Speaking into existence.
Yeah, I think he will.
Yeah.
Do you think Jake could win an MMA fight?
Not against him.
No.
We're going to do just a little bit of word association.
We're going to put some pictures up of some guys and just throw the first word that comes into your head, Nate, on these guys.
Can I walk out for a second?
Yeah, sure.
I'm ready for it.
One time I was traveling somewhere, you know, because I had my luggage with me and everything.
And I think I was in Guam, maybe, or Viet Guam or somewhere.
I don't know.
And I couldn't get the internet.
They didn't have it.
Some people didn't even know what I was talking about.
I'd like point at the sky and then point at like a book or whatever, and they didn't understand it.

Priscilla, do you see the Priscilla one?
No, I did it.
Bro, go see Priscilla's good.
Oh, it's good, bro.
Yeah, it's still, I mean, it's still just mostly about.
The wife or the daughter?
That's the wife.
Michael Jackson married the daughter, right?
That's the wife, dude.
Speaking of drugs.
Yeah, speaking of grooming, bro.
What did that mean?
Grooming.
Grooming is when like somebody.
Like, what do you mean, though?
What do you guys think?
Grooming is like if somebody's like.
You're not somebody ever or something?
Like somebody like it becomes like when an adult becomes friends with a kid.
So like when I was a bus boy, actually, it's true.
When I was a bus boy, I met.
Yeah.
I met this dude.
I'm your groomer.
I'm slap.
I got psyched and slap grooming.
But grooming happens, bro.
I thought it was going to say, it's become a popular American pastime amongst a lot of our politicians.
I didn't get it until Andrew came in.
He got groomed.
He's the one who got groomed.
He got groomed, bro.
All right.
Nobody got groomed ready.
Okay.
God damn it, Theo.
I ain't coming here no more.
What about what did y'all think of the UFC of the 250 card, the White House card?
Who's on the card again?
Pereira?
Main events, Aelia Tapuria and Justin Gacey.
Kyle Dawkis, Bo Nickel.
Pereira's on there, right?
No, I think they wanted to do Pereira.
I thought he was in the fight.
Gain and keep the card.
I think that's on there.
I think it's him a good card.
Taporea Gage.
Pereira Ganti.
Sean Mally's in Mendo.
That's cool.
It's going to be tough.
Chandler's on there.
Who?
Chandler.
Where, where, where?
Who's he fighting?
He's fighting.
Maurice Ruffy.
Bo Nico.
Who the hell is Bo Nico fighting?
Diego Lopez.
That's going to be dope.
They're just pumping up Bon Nico.
Who the hell is that guy?
Kyle Dawkins from Philadelphia.
He's good.
Look at Diego Lopez, a little mustache.
That's a good picture, dude.
That's hilarious, dude.
They're doing like extensive background checks for people that are even going to the fights.
Do you think you guys would even be able to clear the background checks?
Do you think right away?
I have no record.
I go to Canada and my homies could get in.
They all got D-Wise.
I'm good.
I'm flying colors, baby.
And Trump, Trump, Trump's, my Trump came there.
When I fought, Mazada was the first time a president ever came to a fight.
Really?
I didn't know that.
Yeah, I invited him.
Did you?
Yeah, I was like, yo, we found him for the baddest motherfucker in the game belt right here.
And he's like, I gotta go to that.
I'm like, yeah, come through.
You gabbed him up when you were walking out.
Well, that was anyways.
Seeing him with the fights was wild.
I'll take full responsibility for that one.
Who brought a president to a fight?
Nobody.
Mike Tyson?
No, he wasn't the president then.
Was he?
No, no.
When Mike was in the fight, no.
Oh, yeah.
Hell no, no.
No, I just know Trump was at Mike Tyson's fight.
That's right.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, bring up some pictures.
Zoo Ward Association.
Fire through some pictures here, Nick.
First word.
Nate, sorry, first word that comes into your head.
Carter McGregor.
Next.
Next.
Elijah Guterres.
That fight that's right that we keep getting him up.
I'm sorry, Death.
We aware of this plan.
Just P. O.G. Fasting.
He's the guy who taught me about fasting.
Obnoxious.
Okay.
Hoto.
What's Hoto?
Yeah.
Look at that.
The Grinch.
Okay.
You go.
The man.
Who's that?
Who is that?
Oh, that's Lindsey Graham.
He's a guy who, he's the guy who everybody is saying is that he's like just supporting Israel because they have proof on him that he's like a like low-key, like closeted gay.
I'm going to say, I don't know.
I support Elijah in the backside.
Here's the clip.
I didn't mean to like that, Eli.
Hey Lindsay, why don't you just admit that you're gay and then people won't buy you anymore?
That's funny.
You don't want to just admit that you're gay?
Hey, see that right there though, Theo?
That's why people should learn jiu-jitsu.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
Right.
If he'd have stepped up right then.
Yeah, because I'm going to fuck you up for doing that to me.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
And what if you can't?
So why wouldn't you want to learn jiu-jitsu?
Like everybody.
Would you girls, kids, everybody?
Are your kids in jiu-jitsu?
Yeah.
Yeah, for sure.
Would you teach Lindsey Graham Jiu-Jitsu?
The gay guy?
No.
Absolutely not.
I'll send him to somebody, though.
You guys know somebody in DC that could train him?
I don't know anybody in D.C., no.
Or Virginia, maybe?
Theo, talk to the Mike.
Okay.
Do you ever honor whoop the ass for telling me to talk to Michael?
What?
Did you ever want to?
I don't know.
I haven't trained enough.
Yeah, hey, but sometimes, you know, like, cause my boy out there will be like, hey, pick up your thing and fix your shirt.
I'm like, sorry, guys.
I'm just trying to relate here a little bit.
You know what I'm saying?
One, a great moment that you had after a fight.
I'm a grown dad boy.
I'm playing.
A great moment you had after the fight with Michael Johnson when you called out Conor McGregor and they took the, like, Rogan, like, kind of stopped you from talking to the mic.
Did you have more you wanted to say on that?
Yeah, I was about to go off on everything.
I was going to be like, bitch, which motherfucker got five harder than you trained harder than you, everybody?
Fuck everyone here.
Fuck your mama.
But he stopped with his good thing.
Because anything could have happened.
Endorphins.
Yeah.
I'm like, yo, I told you this was going to happen.
So I would have went off and I'm glad it got stopped when it did.
But then I was telling my brother, man, I shouldn't have said that because he said it.
He's like, my brother knew.
He's like, who gives a fuck, bro?
You think anybody didn't see that?
Like, oh, yeah, I forgot.
So it worked out.
It's good.
Shout out to Joe.
It was a good stop.
Yeah.
Because I could have said anything.
It said just what I needed to say.
If I would have kept going, I wouldn't have embarrassed myself.
Amen, bro.
I already am kind of still was embarrassed about a little bit of it, but I always am.
So it's cool.
Well, like you say, but you put it out there, bro.
You know, you're running on endorphins.
That's different.
Will, um, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You got the cough and say whatever, right?
Yeah, no, I'll say anything.
Fuck everybody here.
You're like, what?
What if they turn on you?
I shouldn't have said that.
Sorry, guys, I was high.
I was high.
Can you fight high or no?
I wish.
I was kind of high when I fought Pettis.
Not really.
I smoked a fat blunt right before he walked in, huh?
Remember when we walked in in LA?
You allowed to smoke weed now?
Yeah, well, well.
You can't just bring in that weed in the locker room and smoke at the commission in front of the commission.
So I got really high and then we walked in, but that was like an hour and a half, two hours before the fight.
So I was lingering, huh?
But it would be great to see when they're, when they're, when I was going to say when you walk out to smoke a blunt, but the best part would be to like smoke some right when they're going out in our blue corner.
Stan exercise, my bad.
Hurry up, please.
That'd be the best, I think.
That's me right there.
There you go.
Did that's me?
It is.
That's me.
Did you, because I know that Nick got part of his thing was his suspension was for weed, right?
Whenever he got suspension.
He said, I want to fight.
Yeah, Nick got in trouble for weed.
Hey, can you guys pull up a fight?
Who's that?
That Hawaiian guy that you fought that you went.
Dink credit after after a shocker.
Remember the guy who you hit after?
He knocked out and you cracked him with the think about it.
I forget Drake Bowen.
Pull in Chris Vila versus Drake Bowen.
And let's watch that.
I laugh at this fight every time.
That's hilarious.
That's funny.
Nick got suspended for five years or some shit like that when he was already fucking older.
And it was like ridiculous.
I forget the situation.
Was there ever a part where when you were When you were like heavy in UFC where you oh here, let's watch.
Can you go to the end?
Yeah, just go to the end.
Hold on.
It's coming.
This is fun.
All right.
You can start it right here.
Dink.
Metal eyes.
Wise wise.
Yeah.
Blam.
I never get a win like that.
I'm trying though.
Like that well, dumb.
Or that happens.
Do one more time.
Repeat.
That's fine.
That's fun to watch.
That makes you want to fight.
That's what I'm going to do to anybody who groomed me.
You almost tried grooming.
You almost had it against Leon Edwards.
I know I did.
I almost get Leon and Leon fucking.
Respectfully, do you have any regret for not going after him?
I did go after him.
But you pointed after you rocked him.
Let's clear it up.
Put that fight on.
Put on and write that part.
I'll show you.
People don't understand.
They just like to make that the narrative of what happened.
Yeah, thanks, Nick.
But don't forget to, yeah, but everybody does stuff.
No, good looking out.
But everybody does.
So if you, if you watch the fight, let's take into consideration real quick.
Let's take into consideration that this is 23 minutes of fighting in.
Okay, and let me tell you beforehand, my eyes right here, my eyes, and right here, like after a certain amount of time, I had sweat in my eyes.
Hold on, pause it.
Pause it.
I had sweat in my eyes, so I could see him.
I could see him all completely clear.
But like, my eyes were all sweated out, and I couldn't see his eyes.
So when he went like this, I thought he was playing with me.
Because I couldn't see that, but if I could see his eyes, I could see that really far.
You could see some of his eyes if they're conscious or not.
And like, when I cracked him, I thought he was, when I pointed at him, I was like, huh, bitch, shut up.
Because I thought he was playing with me.
And I was like, fucking.
And then I was like, I was like, oh, shit, he is fucked up.
And then watch from that point how many punches I throw and how much I actually really attack him.
Let's see it.
But I was slow on it for sure at first.
I couldn't see my eyes were blurry.
No, I could see perfect, but I couldn't see his eyes.
Then I thought he was fucking with me.
Like, oh, I'm knocked out.
And I knew he had a minute left.
So he was like, I'm going to get out alive.
I'm like, shut up, bitch.
What?
I was in Arizona, huh?
Yeah, Arizona.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Okay, it's happening.
Bing.
Okay.
One minute left.
Now, watch how many punches I throw from here on.
Like, right now I'm realizing, oh, he is actually fucked up.
Okay, one.
And he's grabbing a hold on.
I'm like, come here, bitch.
What's up, motherfucker?
Ding, ding, ding.
Trying to get him.
24 minutes in, though.
I'm not some fucking energetic first minute of the fight.
Look, I'm chasing this fool.
Get off me.
Come here, bitch.
What's up?
You over here going to get out of no?
I'm got you.
30 seconds.
Look, I'm not chasing him.
I'm trying to get his ass.
You know what I'm saying?
But of course, I look at it and think what I could have done, but it's like, what it could have, should have.
I was trying, trying to get it.
But initially, when I socked his ass, I couldn't see that.
I was like, fucking.
I thought he just had a bad thing.
Oh, he is fucked up.
And I started chasing him down.
So everyone's like, you just took a picture.
No, it wasn't even like that.
I was trying to get him.
I was fucking fighting for 24 minutes.
Hey, everybody, go fight for 24 minutes, then try to get a motherfucker.
You know what I'm saying?
Like, you'll be like the guy in Gladiator peeing on himself.
Yeah.
Fuck, you talking about fight me.
But if it would have gone on anymore, I would have finished that pool, too.
But would have, could have, should have, and there's only 24 minutes the way you should have done.
I knew that.
I was just clearing him out for other people.
I knew.
I knew.
Nah, that's my guy.
I like the guy in the back.
That's my boy right there.
He knows Dumb and Dumber.
He knows all the references.

Yeah, shit.
That's tight.
You came in with that.
And I'm upstairs.
That's another one that we came through with.
This has been.
Let me get a hat.
We've been a good group.
Oh, yeah.
We got some for you on the real.
Shoot me a hat to put on.
Yeah, I'll trade you a gang gang.
I'll trade you a hat for a ticket to your fight.
I want one.
I got a ticket for you.
Come on, man.
You know, you got tickets from somebody anyway.
But you want me, though.
Yeah, I'm going to get you a shirt.
I can't wait.
Put me in the fire.
You got to wear my shirt.

Shout out to Nick.
Oh, look at the hat.
Yeah.
They're cool.
It's the best, bro.
These are cool hairs.
Just seeing all the people there.
Sure, thank you.
But at the fights, that's cool.
You go to all the prelims and everything, too.
Because that's where you're going to see some of the better shit.
People don't even know it's happening.
Oh, that's tough.
It looks tough.
Yeah, it's good.
Turn of the rat.
Why is it the rat?
Are you the rat?
You're the rat because your hair is rat king.
Yeah, they call me the rat king.
Whenever Brendan Shaw and I had a podcast, it's called The King and the Sting, and they call me the Rat King because is Brendan Sharp still gay?
Acting Experience Story00:15:37
I never.
I'm kidding.
I never been with him.
I got it.
I never been with him.
I never been with him.
I mean, he's always seen his wife says he's straight.
His wife says he's straight.
That girl lying.
No, man, but he gave me that nickname.
And then that's kind of all.
I've always been a fucking like, I'm gonna survive no matter what, bro.
I'm playing with Brendan Shaw.
I'm just talking.
No, all good, bro.
He's cool.
We had a little differences, but that's just the name of the game.
Yeah, that's the name of the game.
You guys, that's part of it.
You guys also have to be your own.
I have a real problem with like motherfucking analysts.
I'll spell you or anybody in the UFC straight up.
People don't know that about me.
What's up?
Give me a word.
Don't give me no words.
Nick Davis was hunting the word right there.
Hey, but I can't spell though good.
I'm like, watch this.
Shoot.
Hey, yeah.
What a.
I don't like, I have a problem with.
I have a problem with fighters who start analyzing.
Is that what it's called?
Like analysts or try to think they're Arijawani or some shit.
But there's guys like Chaosan, there's all those guys that talk to me.
I like Chao.
Chao's my guy, though.
But he should have done that before he even.
That's him.
He should be.
That's the guy who should do it.
But then everybody else starts thinking.
And then what they do is they go out and give criticism to a fighter like an analyst.
I'm like, bro, you were never even a fighter.
If that's what you do, you're a bitch.
And you're going to fucking analyze and talk about how fighters are and what they should do.
And you know it all.
You know it all.
Well, what the fuck happened in your career then?
Why are you analysts now, Mr. Know It All?
Why are you Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson and the best of the best?
Talking about negative about what I should have done when I made more money than you ever made in your whole career at any fight, Mr. Champion.
Talking about DC and fucking all of them.
You're going to talk about people fighting.
Those are the kind of motherfuckers who need their asses beat.
Just a quick little thought for you.
Fuck out.
Fuck a fighter analyst.
You know what I'm saying?
Shit annoys the fuck out of me.
Well, yeah.
And we'll keep it.
But they'll get themselves into shit like that too.
Like Brandon Chob got his ass punked a little bit because just because he does that stupid shit.
I'm like, well, I don't, I wouldn't talk about fighters, you know, unless it was to insult them and be like, I'm beat your ass.
I see what you're saying.
You know what I'm saying?
You would never be an analyst.
Like, I went, if I wanted some funk, I would.
Right.
You know what I'm saying?
If I wanted some funk with them, I'll be like, okay, let's talk about fights today.
This fight fucking sucks.
This dude is boring as shit.
I've never seen a single DC fight in my career, except for when I was on the same car as him one time, and he was picking up the dude and walking around like he just owned him, like he was hella tight.
Like, damn, he's schooling that dude.
And then I look back at the screen and he was knocked out on his ass.
That's the only DC fight I ever saw.
And he wanted to talk about what I should do and how I'm not a good fighter.
And I should, I'm like, are you mad because you were the champion?
And like, when I was nowhere near champion, I got paid way more money than you.
That's a fucking bitter little bitch who's analyzing fights.
Who Daniel Cormier?
Yeah, all the analysts.
So I just saw the other one.
You don't like the animals?
I can't think of the names.
Well, I'm just saying they're putting themselves in a position to be roasted.
But the bad part about it is they get the favor of me talking and roasting on this.
And that's what they wanted me to do.
So I take it back, DC.
You cool.
You the man.
He traded me one time a tub of popcorn for a thing of beef, big thing of beef jerky.
And that was pretty.
That's like, like, I don't know.
As a fan, I like what those guys do, especially ringside, because I need that information.
I understand from another person that you like to hear from the pros.
You like to hear from the pros.
Yes.
So it's cool too.
So I understand that too.
But from a fighter perspective, I wouldn't do it just for the just for the respect I have for the arts.
And like, you know what I'm saying?
I'm like, you're a great wrestler, DC.
You can't fight for shit.
You win fights, but you're not.
You're a fucking big old pussy.
Remember, he cried?
I didn't see him cry.
He got knocked out by Johnny.
He cried.
I was crying.
Hey, he always got, nate, dude.
His record sucks.
I'm like, you cried.
I didn't mean to even talk about it.
No, it's cut out.
We can cut that out.
Fuck.
I'm serious.
We can do whatever.
We can cut it out.
It happened.
I'm kidding.
It happened.
I did want to ask you.
Shoot the shit.
I did want to ask you.
We're going to talk about the Buzz Boy movie and you guys acting experience because I know there was a lot of it.
What's the Buzzboy movie?
It's this movie we did.
Who was in it?
A couple gooners.
Gooners.
A couple fucking gooners, bro.
From outside.
A couple goodies.
A couple of goodies.
From outside of Modesto.
Thank you.
No, I did want to ask, was there ever a point, though?
Because we talked briefly about Nick got sent out for weed.
I did want to ask you, was there ever a point where you tried in your own negotiations to see if they would like, like you were able to grant, like get him back into the UFC.
And if that's something that's, that's, no, I didn't.
I never even thought about even how would I get him in?
I never even thought about it.
It was like, you know, like when the cops take you to jail and I don't want you to go to jail.
I'm like, I know I can't get you out.
I ain't talking to cops.
So that's part of the situation.
I didn't even think about it.
Got it.
Oh, shit, the kids motherfucked.
But how what was I going to do?
I just didn't know if you had it because you're just such a name and such a.
Yeah, but even then, though, I don't think I was this big of the name TV and having the effect.
And even though, even if I am now right now, how I am, I don't think I can help that.
You know, I'm not going to go fucking go head to the commission.
They're going to do me or him any good.
Oh, so it wasn't just up to the UFC.
It was a commission thing.
It wasn't the UFC at all.
I think it was a commission, right?
That's on me then.
Will Nick.
I don't know.
I never even thought about it like that.
But yeah.
Will Nick help you train in this?
Do you guys still train together?
Yeah, he'll pop in and get me up about everything I suck at.
That's what he does.
So that's what I need him for, too.
So it's perfect.
Hell yeah, bro.
It's so cool that you have a brother.
All right, let's talk about Busboys, the movie.
What was y'all's acting experience?
Be honest with me, bro.
Because y'all's manager told me you guys had acting experience.
What was y'all's acting experience?
He told you that?
Yeah, he did.
We don't have any acting experience.
We keep it real.
Do you have any acting experience?
Real best.
I don't have any acting experience.
We never acted a fucking moment.
Hey, but now I do.
Facts.
Let's go.
Shout out to Theo.
Now I do.
All right, let's look at some bloopers from the movie from Bus Boys, man.
And thank you guys so much, bro.
Hey, first and foremost, before this even happens, I'm embarrassed.
Yeah, yeah, same.
No, dude.
And I do want to tell people this, though.
Go if you, if what Dave and I tried to do is we wrote this ourselves, we pay for it ourselves, right?
So we want to try to change the game of how we didn't go to a studio.
Nobody's, we don't, there's no big dogs in this kennel, right?
We just have, we did this on our own, and we got great friends that were able to come in and help out, like you guys who are, you know, just coming in and being a part of it.
And so we need people to go and buy tickets early because then they'll add it to other theaters.
Two motherfuckers don't know what they're doing.
And then embarrassing is if people will go get tickets early, we can add it to more theaters.
So I just want to let people know that in advance.
All right, let's check out a little, let's check out some of you guys.
This is just some behind the scenes stuff.
You can find where it's playing, busboysmovie.com.
Yo, yo.
Fuck your ass.
Gotta fuck out of this neighborhood.
Bitch ass, motherfucker.
You know that reposition Chris, come over here right here by the door.
You're good?
Sorry.
He is in the back seat.
Fuck out of here.
Fuck out of here, bitch.
Hey, bro.
My ass cut.
Your ass probably gonna like that.
You want to die?
That's cool.
He got the mirror.
I said, get in the car.
I gotta get gas.
Sorry.
You can sign the sign, but don't come more forward than that.
What?
Fuck what?
He gets in the back.
You're running away?
Fuck you, bitch.
Okay, hold on.
Hold on, perfect.
What's up?
Leave it started.
Leave it started.

What you knew better?
You gotta eat your kids?
You're gonna pull her up?
Fuck you, motherfucker.
I'm gonna see you.
I'm gonna take you out.
My ass will be fucked up.
That's not even acting.
That's just being mean.
Oh, that's embarrassing.
That's what they expect out of it.
That's what the worst part.
Bro, fuck her TV.
I got it.
Fuck them.
Yeah, I fuck them.
Fuck you.
We should have kept that car.
I know.
That car would have been cold.
Fucking cocky.
David Spade.
David Spade's man.
Do not take those guys to an Apple Beans.
Who's that?
Quick quiet, pussy.
Get the fuck up.
Get up, Theo.
Get up.
Bro, that was fun that part.
You were tied up.
Remember, that was cool.
Yeah, dude.
And then there was like, you guys were hilarious, bro, because y'all would sit outside.
The car would just be fucking, some type of music would be playing.
Smoke would be in there.
We'd be like, okay, you guys ready to go?
Yeah, yeah.
That was fun.
It was it, bro.
How did you guys feel like doing it?
And how do you feel after it?
Would it be something you'd want to do again?
Yeah, it was cool.
It was a good experience.
I never acted either.
So I was like, what am I doing?
How do you feel about it, Nate?
I felt like I wish that I could have done it again and do it all over again because it was a cool experience.
And I didn't think about it at the time.
I was thinking like it was work.
Like, man, what are we doing here?
We got to be acting and stuff.
And then when I left, I was like, that was actually really cool.
And then I saw the clips that you guys send us to.
And my daughter, the whole time, has been like, do I get to see the movie, Randy?
And then I watched the clips.
I was like, damn, I already told her, yeah.
I'm just being like, fuck you, motherfucker.
And it's like, so I'm going to let her see it, though, because she has.
But now I, now I have to come back and be a good, now I have to come back and be a good guy.
Yeah.
If I'm back, if I come back, because by lesson learned and evolution, now I know, now I know.
Now I know, okay, I'm going to do this.
I want to be a good guy.
Yeah.
Or a medium guy.
That's fair to be at least.
I think being a medium guy is pretty good.
Have you been a broken?
But it was fun, too.
It was cool.
That's how I was fun to hang out with you.
And we get David Spade.
Bro, that's legendary, bro.
That's fucking the guy.
So I know that's how when I think back on it too, I'm like, man, I wish there was a way that I could make more of like Easy Day.
Just to have been there with Spade, you know?
It was just crazy, bro.
Yeah, no, that's way cool.
Yeah.
It's cool that Spade's still around doing what he's doing, bro.
That guy's been around forever.
That's the man.
He's a fucking boss.
Oh, yeah.
Hilarious.
Tommy Boy.
Was there other movies that you got offered to be in?
They offered me to be in Roadhouse.
They call it Roadhouse or Roadhouse too?
The one with that Connor McGregor did.
They offered me that part that Connor did.
I didn't do that because I ain't losing no fight to no gay Jake Jones broke back mountain ass.
But if I could beat him in the fight, then yeah, but I wasn't going to lose to no fight and no, no, broke back mountain.
Yeah.
You know what I'm saying?
But it would have been cool too to do that, but I'm glad I still stick to my word.
I wouldn't have done that.
And it's easy to be gay on a fucking mountain.
Try being gay at fucking C-level all the real motherfuckers are.
Deal with somebody who might offer that part.
They did a movie in Stockton with Leonardo DiCaprio that just came out.
Who came in that movie?
I'm not trying to brag, but they did, but I didn't get into it, but I should have.
That would have been way cool to do.
What is this?
Now I'm more interested that this all happened and I did your thing.
I'm like, now I'm like, okay, I want to do over.
And now I want to be, now I want to do some cool.
But I just want to be like, you know what I'm saying?
I want to be like a Spanish teacher or a doctor or somebody.
Somebody nice.
You know what I'm saying?
I don't need to be all that meme go to fucking pup baking on people.
At least we got to punk you and David Spade a little bit.
That's all.
Bro, I didn't want to punk you guys, but I'm just.
No, dude, this shit was hilarious, bro.
The best parts were hanging out just with Bobby Lee, being a friend with going there and you were there, and Pez and David was there, and a bunch of guys on the set were hella cool, too.
I couldn't even believe it was a real movie till the first day I got there because we just been doing emails.
Remember when we throw the guy in the trunk?
Yeah, that shit was hilarious.
What was that, guys?
That was when we first showed up.
You're like, yeah, you just threw him, threw him in the trunk.
I'm like, what?
It was some honky.
I thought it was coming there and be some romantic guy and going on a date with a girl in a movie.
And then they're like, you just gotta.
Remember, you guys were telling us the lines.
They were telling us the lines, and I was like, and I was reading it, and I was like, the way they were having me talk was all weird and shit because I was reading lines.
And then I got to the point after we did a couple of ticks, and you're like, no, look, dude, I'm like, oh, you guys want us to punk you.
Yeah.
You guys want us to punk the fuck out of you like some little bitches.
Okay.
Hey, quick.
And they just want us to punk the fuck out of you.
Let's just punk their asses.
So then, I don't even watch this.
And we're like, hey, fuck you, fucking bitch ass motherfuckers.
I've seen people get punched.
And I was like, let's punk these guys.
You guys are the only people I know that can say fuck you like 70 different ways.
That was embarrassing.
My girl, my daughter wants to see it.
You know what?
We'll do it.
We got to see it.
We have a creature.
I told her she could see it.
We created a cool cartoon animation that we'll do as well.
I'll make sure to send you that.
You can show her that.
The Blast Boys version?
Yeah.
It was like something else.
Just if you got like the characters.
That's cool.
So that'll be something you could show her for sure.
Well, how about, and how about this, dude?
If we do another one, if we do another movie, we'll come back.
We'll give you guys a more, thank God, different type of character.
Character Names Discussion00:06:57
Maybe a baker or something.
Yeah.

Say chef, though.
Okay.

What if it's the Stockton Doctors?
After we'll have, we'll do a movie called the Stockton Doctors.
You guys.
Yeah, but let's throw them off and I'll be a chiropractor.
I don't know what that meant.
Did I just diss chiropractors?
That's fight though.
No, dude.
I don't even know.
This is as high as I've been in fucking 11 years.
This is fucking crazy.
11 years sober.
Let's hit a new story, man, and then we'll get you guys out of here, bro.
Fuck, I'm ready for the fight, dude.
What fight?
Yours and yours.
I'm ready to fucking see you guys versus Jenkins versus Mike Perry.
I'm ready to see this shit.
Quadruple amputee professional corner.
What did they say?
Cornhole.
Oh, yeah.
I saw the player faces.
He got no arms or legs.
Yeah.
I don't understand.
Quadruple amputee professional cornhole player faces murder charges.
After a professional cornhole player with no hands and no legs is accused of firing a deadly shot all while driving.
We want to get a home of God.
What the fuck?
That really happened?
You could be a defense attorney right there.
That's it, man.
That's your next question.
Yeah, he's out.
He's free.
Let him alone.
And even if he didn't, let him go.
Let's see what they say here.
Let's see what they say.
Not really.
No, let him go.
And bizarre to say the least.
But before we get any further into this story, I just want to try to answer the question that so many people have right now.
How did someone with no arms, no hands, chance to fire a gun and allegedly kill someone?
Look at him.
It's early in the investigation, but there is no evidence at this point to suggest anybody else was involved in the shooting.
And that he acted alone.
Yes.
And that he acted alone.
How are they going to do it?
That boy, free.
Yeah, free, bro.
Get that boy a skateboard.
He out free.
Let's go free him.
Man, I think we're good on it.
You think?
Nick free, like he's laughing.
Like yeah, I did it, but they ain't gonna catch me, ain't got no fingerprint?
Oh man um, oh.
Last question, do you, do you get any residual bonus for starting the Bmf belt?
Do you get a residual bonus from it for each fight?
Let's call him, let's call him.
That's the answer.
Uh, should man.
Thank you guys, bro.
Oh wait, I gotta give y'all, I gotta tell you guys y'all's names in the movie.
Yeah, let's hear that.
All right, so no, we don't need you running out smoking a bunch of crack and doing a bunch of shit because he had one piece of weed for two seconds.
He's gonna take the weed right now.
I'll send me on a crack fucking banner all across the United States like that.
He missing half his hair.
No bro, I would too.
I took, I would take a hit of that joint just so I could go buy a ball.
Hey no, people who don't do drugs always try to smoke weed by me like nah, I ain't finna be responsible for you running off or taking a shot or having a shot.
I said that to my cousin one time and he was like I don't know.
My cousin with it.
He's looking at me like he was looking at me like what the fuck can you put me on blast bro, come on, you try to smoke the weed.
You and me across town smoking crack and fucking feeling the car and going across the country.
Now nah, my watch, buddy.
Yeah, you smoke crack on your own time, bro.
That's I told Joe Rogan one time.
I was, I said, or I asked.
I said bro, I want to smoke, I want to smoke a joint on your show sometime.
And he goes, you smoke a joint on your show first.
That's what he said.
Exactly, I feel the same way.
Yeah man, not on my watch.
Yeah, not on my watch.
It's funny though, to test people like you.
Sober, you're gonna play with me one day, smoke with him and her, and him over there and her.
You don't get no weed by me.
You're gonna run off and do some funny one day.
At a time i'll be tickling motherfuckers boys women, women.

I must be cornerstone.
Oh, but when I reach that ground, I'll share this peace of mind.
