What's happening guys? Happy Tuesday!

0:09

And thank you for joining another

0:11

special episode of Your Welcome Guys!

0:14

The rumor mill surrounding UFC 300.

0:16

It keeps on going right

0:19

here on this episode today. I'm going

0:21

to get into John Jones' comment. He

0:23

claims that he was asked to fight

0:25

in the main event. But he's a

0:27

little light on the other details. Plus,

0:30

Otosanya's coach has spoken

0:32

up about Izzy's lackluster performance when he

0:34

dropped the strap to Sean Strickland. I

0:37

also got some thoughts on Volkanovski. He's

0:39

damn near the underdog. Coming against

0:41

Toporia, we got all sorts of

0:43

stuff to get to, guys. Let's

0:46

begin here. Ariel

0:51

Helwani has just stated

0:53

on the MMA Hour,

0:57

which lasts more than 60 minutes. Play

0:59

with that one. While you're thinking about

1:01

that, think about this. He claims that

1:05

the number one fight that UFC would like for

1:08

300 is

1:11

Leon Edwards versus Chamaev. Now, for

1:15

Ariel to say it, it

1:19

would have been checked, confirmed,

1:23

and reconfirmed. Make

1:26

sure you understand what he's saying. So

1:28

I'm going to repeat the quote. The

1:32

number one fight that UFC would like to have

1:34

right now for UFC

1:36

300 is the title

1:38

fight between Chamaev and

1:40

Leon Edwards. Now, the

1:42

reason I just want to make sure that you understand each one

1:44

of those words matter is this

1:47

is moving. So two

1:49

weeks ago, just by example, when Dana kind

1:51

of looked like, you know, it might let

1:53

the cat out of the bag and people were trying to pull

1:55

it out of him. He's going to hold on to this information

1:57

a little bit longer. It could have. It

2:00

a very different answer that. In

2:03

fact, He

2:05

might not even been looking at

2:07

the welterweight division. He can

2:09

be completely different. I personally can

2:12

tell you. For. Sure,

2:14

without question they went for his

2:16

He vs. Gdp. I

2:20

feel confident and tell you that's the

2:22

main event I must disclose to you.

2:25

They. Never actually to Dtp or is

2:27

he was the main event everybody assumed

2:29

it would never actually said John Zone

2:31

stated as recently as over the weekend.

2:34

That he was wanted for main event? I don't

2:37

believe them. I don't

2:39

believe he was told. Main Event. Now.

2:44

He would have been. I do

2:46

just that. I'm searing Florida. Doubt

2:48

that specific detail is a little

2:50

bit looser. with arrow comes out

2:52

these as as of the day

2:54

that's the one. Then

2:56

that means it's the one. In. It

2:58

doesn't mean it's the one. One hour from it

3:01

means us to one. Farrell will know. And

3:03

the issue does not appear to be

3:05

to my of and the weight class.

3:08

Of weird semi is not made the way glass.

3:10

For well over a year of wisdom I have

3:13

not made the weight class. In.

3:15

Three weigh ins. So.

3:17

It's it's. a lot debate, right? guys. Don't forget

3:19

the One Seventy Eight Business. So.

3:22

That's what he does not way one seventy him

3:24

for his last fight was appointed then are super

3:26

one eighty five or would use Balan wonderful by

3:29

the way. Leans brought with all bet. It

3:32

was not one hundred. Every bounces got him a squats.

3:34

Wait, this is a guy that has it. Made it

3:36

in three. Oh and by the way did try one

3:39

of them. And. That a rebound fail as

3:41

you're going to bring him back to the same jurisdiction. But

3:44

for a lot higher stakes is is is very

3:46

interesting move. I have no problem with that. It's

3:49

an interesting moved away. All agree on that. Okay,

3:51

and allegedly the bigger problem is not the weight.

3:54

Which. Would be for me. It's not the weight. It's.

3:58

Getting. Into the country. Apparently,

4:02

some of those visa issues and

4:04

travel restrictions that we keep hearing

4:07

about that nobody will confirm or

4:09

deny for us, apparently, appears to

4:11

be some legs to that. Alright, now, I

4:15

love when a fight like that gets made or a fight like

4:17

that gets announced because of all the things that it tells us.

4:20

Right? And it doesn't overly matter. Like, if arrow's information

4:22

is true, it doesn't matter if that fight happens or

4:25

it doesn't happen. If that's the fight

4:27

that they went for, then you have an absolute pan

4:29

to blow. And

4:32

I just don't think that Muhammad's done anything wrong.

4:35

In fact, I think that Muhammad has done everything

4:37

right. I think the UFC, to go

4:39

a step further, wishes they had an

4:42

entire roster of guys like Muhammad. I

4:46

know that there is a continued narrative that

4:48

it is a referendum on him, but I

4:52

just can't think of anywhere he went wrong. I can't think of

4:54

anything he did wrong. I can't think of a more of a

4:56

team player. I can't think of more of a strategist. I can't

4:58

think of a guy that built his name and built his brand.

5:01

If you look at where Muhammad was at a year

5:03

ago, there is no bigger star. There

5:06

is, in fact, there's only a comparison to one. And

5:08

that's if you go back one year. If you would

5:11

like to go back two years, go ahead. It's still

5:13

Muhammad and it's still Sean Strickland. If

5:15

you look at where they were versus where they

5:17

are, there is nobody that has put a gap

5:19

like those two. So I don't totally

5:22

believe that Muhammad has done something wrong. There

5:24

does, if this is accurate, appear to be

5:26

a full-scale initiative to get

5:28

the belt off Leon. So

5:32

I don't think Leon has done

5:34

anything wrong. Leon is

5:36

just now getting over. His press

5:38

conferences are interesting for the first time,

5:41

and I understand that was largely because

5:43

of Colby, but either way, the numbers

5:45

are there. The arena was sold out.

5:47

The pay-per-view did very good. In fact, it

5:49

did 25% better than it was expected to

5:51

do. I

5:53

just don't know how many numbers are actually against Leon,

5:56

but guys, they must be there. I

5:59

Mean, there appears... The be a mad-

6:02

To. Give their belt off Him! So now let's

6:04

just say you put Leon into my of course

6:06

you're going to have a concern that I already

6:08

raised. Are you going to

6:10

lose your main event the day before? Or you'll lose

6:13

of the scale. There's

6:15

very good reason to be very nervous

6:17

that you are. So.

6:22

They. Bring in a backup year. Courses

6:24

that say solve that problem is

6:26

a ball is a brass route

6:28

as Rude fits this respective. It's

6:30

like there's only so much you

6:33

could do. That

6:35

many times as the Hobbit the actual but I thought

6:37

he was the guy done what he needed to memorize

6:39

one of those things. Now I'm and accommodate assists for

6:41

a spot this already mine. You're.

6:44

Going me for another parents as soon as it

6:46

is Interesting. That's all. They're stronger. and that's all.

6:50

And is it appears to be the

6:53

thing for today. But.

6:56

The of a lot of fighters out there that would like to

6:58

spot. Right! I am

7:00

the first to come out

7:02

publicly and cheese and entire

7:04

roster for not trying. To

7:07

get this spot. For.

7:10

Open we've been aware of.

7:12

I'm not interesting enough. Not.

7:15

A big star. And

7:18

son, I'm not good enough, By the way, Never.

7:21

It's never all disguise one. These guys got

7:23

ten more wins minute know what? your records

7:26

nobody. I

7:28

have more fights that all just first month i

7:30

don't know my record was and always completely under

7:32

feet. about only men id. I I

7:35

do not know and that is not meant to be

7:37

satire least adult ruler restaurant home. At times I did.

7:40

When. I tell you nobody knows your wrecked. My

7:42

mother wouldn't know my record of you call or

7:44

now. Is

7:47

very important that you really do understand. It all

7:49

comes down to one thing. Interesting. That's it. Is.

7:52

Not good is not skills that experienced.

7:56

Does. The crowd, mind you, interesting.

7:58

generally. in the fight game If

8:00

you're not good at fighting, they don't find you

8:02

interesting generally. So you don't really have

8:04

to have this discussion They

8:07

go hand in hand But

8:09

if you were forced to dissect them make no mistake So

8:12

when you have a roster full of guys that aren't

8:14

going for this position is because they recognize either The

8:16

crowd doesn't find me interesting fair enough fair enough I

8:19

don't need to fully embarrass you and make you go out

8:21

there and go for something that you're gonna Know

8:24

that you're gonna get a no back. Hey look you

8:27

just found out the stakes They're not going as high as you thought

8:29

they were If

8:32

Leon versus Chamaev is

8:35

the number one leading idea. Come on guys There's

8:37

some of you out there that are sitting on

8:39

an idea better than that one

8:42

bring it forward now That's

8:46

the message here make no mistake if That

8:50

is the leading candidate and

8:53

all guns are that right? It's not gonna stay there long.

8:55

They're gonna know by end of business today Can

8:58

he get to wait? Can he get into the country

9:00

is the hand healed yesterday today? And they're going to

9:02

move on and I will assure you

9:05

they're already moving on possible odds. They're looking for

9:07

the right one Now

9:11

if you're watching this in your fighter and you come

9:13

to Uncle Chale For

9:15

professor Chale for the teachings that I and

9:17

only I can give Your

9:20

right to understand that you

9:22

are an interchangeable mediocrity You are right

9:25

to do that, but you're also right

9:27

to know that you and a specific

9:29

opponent Is

9:32

likely as interesting as Leon versus Chamaev

9:34

and one thing their promoter will always

9:36

do is try to Get

9:39

a roadmap so you don't just book it today you book for

9:41

what it can become That's where Izzy

9:43

and DDP becomes your main event The

9:47

decent fight today, it's not the one that people want

9:49

you guys want striggled But when these guys start building

9:51

if it's anything like their previous build This will be

9:53

so red hot. It'll melt the airwaves Chamaev

9:57

and Leon Whatever interests you have, it now is

9:59

the. There's that you're going to happen. The date rolls

10:01

around. So. Not for

10:04

nothing to get so many professors, they'll find

10:06

yourself. You know it's an opponent, but it's

10:08

also a marvellous. You

10:11

know where the bars that you know it's a people

10:13

were three hundred around the corner. You aren't up to

10:15

your not. This is the time. This is the time

10:17

to take. Us

10:28

as as. A big thing jones out when

10:31

his hair down sounds inebriated, sounds like

10:33

he's. Airfare was

10:35

a comedian lots has been made of. There's lots

10:37

of means. Lots and lots you as that completely

10:39

When I saw. Some.

10:43

Completely When I saw about the the

10:45

comedian was a fairly will full participant.

10:48

Feather. The comedian did recognize him.

10:52

Like dabbing the most part of that segment. I

10:54

didn't think that zone was a noxious. I

10:57

think he was interfere with. Amazes I guess I guess

10:59

what is relative to give little that tone has been

11:01

off and years dollars outlet his hair down. In

11:04

there there seems to always be a big push back. If

11:07

Jon Jones and and drinking in public

11:09

or give any of these commands and

11:12

that is a facet of same way

11:14

of the world's hampers, World's greatest that

11:16

is. It's very interesting thing, but. Others

11:18

as a reality is John as a consenting adult

11:21

he was doing not be wrong was driving. I

11:23

don't even think that he interfered with the comedian

11:25

said i'm in Comedian did begin to engage him

11:27

as as though John was doing his part back

11:29

and forth. I don't know a lot about I

11:31

was I was look at the surprise of a

11:33

couple things. First Op's that comedy Club. I

11:37

was a little bit surprised. Of

11:39

there there, there wasn't thirty people. air. And

11:42

I was just think that John

11:45

would have access to a higher

11:47

level of entertainment. Zone

11:50

over the weekend. Vehemently

11:53

says that the Use the offered him a

11:55

fight for three hundred, offered him the main

11:57

event and he says nothing else. know

12:00

Now, something else would have

12:02

been very

12:04

interesting to me. And

12:06

if we would have had just one more detail,

12:10

and I don't

12:13

think we can get it. Like,

12:15

let me rework this for you. Steep A.B.

12:17

Ochich has offered John Jones. Steep A.B. accepts

12:19

the fight, they call John Jones. I

12:22

don't think that would be the order of events. So in

12:24

the scenario I just gave you, we would have a Steep

12:26

A. out there. We would have another person with this information

12:28

out there and we might still have hope that we could

12:30

get to the bottom of this. I

12:32

think John would have been called first. John is

12:35

the injured party, as

12:37

the champion, as the A side, as the

12:39

more unlikely to say yes, is probably the

12:41

first one you would go to to get

12:43

a yes. So

12:46

we may never know who the opponent was gonna be. Certainly

12:50

assume that it was going to

12:52

be Steep A. One

12:55

of the hard things about that assumption is

12:59

Jones versus Steep A doesn't go

13:01

into the category of jaw-dropping or

13:03

something that you couldn't

13:06

handle. Right

13:08

fight, great fight, it would definitely be a treat, because we're sitting

13:10

here waiting for that fight. So I mean, how cool are things

13:12

you're waiting for me to wait for me and you find out

13:14

you don't have to wait anymore? Like, it works. Don't think I'm

13:16

giving the fight a hard time. It's

13:19

just hard for me to believe that that

13:21

was the one. And when John revealed this

13:23

information, the information is one of two things.

13:25

It is either not accurate.

13:29

Okay, great, we're all done here. John

13:31

did a marketing spoof. John is

13:34

a terrible marketer. He's a worse

13:36

promoter. Before

13:38

you think those are jails, typical insults

13:40

to John. No, not at all. The

13:42

point is, as you're trying to deduce,

13:44

is a statement John made, a

13:47

troll job or accurate information. John doesn't have a

13:49

history with troll jobs. We like to be trolled.

13:51

We like to troll one another. We like to

13:53

guess. We like to create conspiracy theories. Then you

13:55

come and give us the right answer. Okay,

13:58

great, you don't get like credit for. having the right

14:00

answer in this space, it ends

14:02

it. And we just shift that same conspiracy energy

14:04

to a different topic. We like it. I

14:07

just share it for you that I don't believe that

14:10

that's what John's doing. I take him at his word.

14:13

So that in and

14:17

of itself brings on questions. John's

14:21

medical chart is in

14:23

that state, whether

14:26

it's in that office on the second floor,

14:28

whether it's in the commission's office, who

14:32

looked at John's medical records as

14:35

previously told us John is out

14:37

possibly until 2025. Who

14:40

looked at that and came to that conclusion and

14:43

then reconcluded that he

14:47

could be main event ready in six weeks. Simple

14:50

question, this isn't the gotcha moment. It's a simple

14:52

question, but how did we get there? It

14:56

was also stated somewhere along the way that a lot

14:58

of this was not John's call. There was a team

15:00

that looked at the injury and said, hey, wait a

15:02

minute, put a pause

15:04

on it. So I'm

15:06

just sharing for you, it would seem as though

15:08

that team has now come to a different opinion.

15:11

Did they come to that opinion because they are

15:13

now confronted with information they did not previously have?

15:16

Is there an updated MRI? That's

15:18

what I'm asking. Simple question, but I would

15:21

be curious. And

15:24

where did they stop? How far

15:27

into that conversation did they get before they

15:29

got a no? With

15:31

the very first one, could you be ready?

15:34

Because generally a fighter won't do

15:37

that. A

15:39

real tough guy will. There's

15:42

not a lot of tough guys that go into fighting. Sorry,

15:46

sorry to let you down on your heroes. They're a bunch of phonies.

15:50

A real tough guy would

15:52

purely only look at him. Can

15:54

I be ready on that date? And nothing

15:57

else would matter. Who's

15:59

the opponent? example would not have even been

16:01

asked. And I don't know how

16:03

far into that conversation they got but I would be very curious.

16:07

So when

16:10

John comes out and tells the world that he

16:12

was offered this fight and the fact that John

16:14

versus Stipe is just not a jaw-dropping moment. Just

16:16

not. It's a great fight

16:18

and we would like to have the fight but that's

16:20

not a question. That isn't Shale's opinion. That

16:24

fight was booked. It

16:26

was announced and tickets went on sale. They

16:28

didn't move very fast. Like this isn't Shale's

16:30

opinion that that's not a massive fight. That

16:33

was taken to the market and that was proven. So

16:37

were they gonna put John against Espinal? And

16:41

now all of a sudden you do have a wow. Didn't see that

16:43

coming. That's all that you have to have. To

16:45

satisfy the criterion

16:49

that you can't handle it. It's gonna be jaw-dropping.

16:51

It's something special. It's gonna be a big surprise.

16:53

That would have qualified and met that criteria. I'm

16:55

sure it would. It's the

16:57

thing that we were told we were never going to get for a

16:59

number of reasons. Boom! Here it is. Off we go. Alright. But

17:02

is that what we're gonna do? Because if we were gonna do

17:04

it or even if we were willing to do it then we

17:06

know that Stipe can be pushed aside. We

17:09

know that that position is not as coveted

17:11

and locked in as we once

17:13

were told. I'm just curious if we got

17:15

to that step. Because

17:19

it's a big deal that John revealed this

17:21

piece of information. He just outed the company.

17:23

He just outed them. They

17:25

don't have a main event. All this stuff you're

17:27

hearing about main events. This great main event that

17:29

we're waiting a big surprise. The announcement might come

17:31

during the Super Bowl. They don't have it. They're

17:33

buying themselves time. Anybody

17:37

with the sense that God gave geese

17:39

understood that. It's completely different when you're

17:41

on the inside and you out them.

17:45

We understand that the girl in the

17:47

box on stage with the

17:49

magician does not actually get cut into

17:51

two pieces and then put back together.

17:53

We understand that. Now

17:56

we don't quite know how the illusion was done. It

17:59

would ruin it if we did, oh and by the way,

18:01

while we're standing back and trying to figure it out because

18:03

that's part of magic, if the girl

18:05

in the box comes out and tells us

18:08

how it was done, it's ruined. It's

18:11

ruined. It

18:14

was a terribly

18:17

unthought-out maneuver by John to reveal

18:20

that information, but moreover, now that

18:23

it's revealed, who

18:25

is the opponent going to be and why? Who

18:27

decided that John could be ready? Who

18:29

decided that the

18:32

medical forms no longer were telling

18:34

the story? We wanted to hear

18:36

what John thought and

18:39

it's a very interesting concept and was he the first to

18:41

be called? If he would have

18:43

said yes, would it then go to Stebe? If

18:46

Stebe said no, too short a notice, does it go

18:48

to Aspenall? If it's one of

18:50

these things where we were willing to interchange it

18:53

six weeks from now, can

18:56

we revisit that? There

18:59

was a lot on that statement. It never should

19:01

have been made, but it

19:04

was made and

19:06

now the media has a job to

19:08

ask follow-up questions. Anything

19:12

I can assure you, they won't do. This

19:20

break is brought to you by Adobe Photoshop. If

19:23

you're a professional photographer, designer, or artist, you

19:25

need the tools to go wherever your imagination

19:27

takes you. Cookie cutter content just doesn't cut

19:30

it. But you already knew

19:32

that. What you might not know is that new

19:34

AI-powered features in Photoshop can help you make complex

19:36

edits in seconds. And it's easier

19:38

than ever to collaborate and get feedback, so

19:41

you can create faster and crush your next deadline.

20:00

you can't appreciate him. Coach

20:04

Berryman, Eugene Berryman, who I think

20:06

also is managing guys. I think

20:08

he is the most influential. He

20:10

is the head of the table. I'm

20:14

not positive he also manages the guy. I hope

20:16

he does, because I hope he's double dipping. He

20:18

deserves to make money. He's so

20:21

good. He's not

20:23

the most popular guy behind the scenes. He's

20:26

just not. He

20:29

comes off in a certain way, he speaks in a

20:31

certain way. There's an arrogance to it.

20:34

An arrogance and a confidence, a lot of

20:36

times it's just a misunderstanding. And

20:39

I think we understand him pretty clear. I think he's pretty arrogant. No.

20:44

Why do I like him so much? Well, first

20:46

off, if anybody's got the right

20:48

to be arrogant, it's the dude who

20:50

hasn't been wrong yet. He

20:54

owns a gym called kickboxing.

20:57

He works with kickboxers. And

21:02

he signed 12 of them at one time to

21:04

the Ultimate Fighting Championship. And

21:08

took the cream of the crop of each division

21:12

to the title. And

21:15

maybe that just meant title fight. But

21:18

he took them to the title. He's good.

21:21

He's really, really good. He

21:23

kept that team together during

21:25

COVID. And there's

21:27

a lot of fight gyms out there.

21:29

There's very few teams, very few. I

21:33

came from one and I didn't know. I

21:35

was the last to find out we weren't a team. We

21:37

were just a fight gym, Team Quest. I

21:39

thought we were a team. But

21:43

it turned out we were just a fight gym. And that's okay, most

21:45

of them are. Most of our

21:47

fight gyms, come in, get your workout in, get kinda

21:49

band together, get a little bond. And if that bond

21:51

doesn't work out, that's okay too. So we

21:54

all understood that going in. So there's no hard

21:56

feelings. A fight gym, a business. Eugene

21:59

Barramund built a team. You

22:01

don't ever hear differently. You don't ever hear

22:03

of somebody that was Eugene's guy. And

22:06

all of a sudden, now he's at the ATT. Just

22:09

by example. You don't

22:11

ever hear of that. They all stay

22:13

there and they're all deathly loyal. And

22:15

when I hear these interviews by Berryman,

22:17

man, the guy speaks so straight. You

22:21

want to call an arrogant for that? For what? For

22:23

being right? For

22:26

being right? He's never wrong. Eugene

22:29

Berryman did an interview the other day. And

22:33

he was talking about Israel out of Sonja. Oh

22:35

my God. Oh my God. I can't even

22:38

believe that. I

22:41

just hope that Izzy sees this. And I think that

22:43

they do. I hope that whole team sees it, man.

22:47

You've got a big brother there. You've got a

22:49

father-type figure. You've got an uncle-type figure. But this

22:51

is family, the way that Eugene looks after these

22:53

guys. He's talking about Izzy.

22:56

And Izzy's burned out. All these guys are burned out. Everybody's

22:58

tired of fighting. Eugene Berryman,

23:01

he dismissed that quickly. It's not even

23:03

possible. It's not

23:05

even possible. Because we've never

23:07

fought him more than three times in a year. You

23:11

can't be burned out at a job that you

23:13

do three times a year. Wow. Wow.

23:17

He's right. It doesn't matter what the job

23:19

is. It does

23:21

not matter what your shift looks like. It worked for

23:24

12 hours today. But they only did it three times

23:26

a year. Like, it wouldn't matter. I had to work

23:28

around the clock. I had to do two belts. But

23:31

three times a year, it wouldn't matter. Any

23:34

one of you could apply that, and you'd have to

23:37

see it. Berryman's like, God, there's no way to be

23:39

burned out. And

23:42

Berryman went a step further. And

23:44

he was tying this all into Izzy

23:46

dropping the strap to Strickland. Tied

23:50

everything in to that. And

23:54

he said, first off, no, on the

23:57

burnout. And secondly,

24:00

It's the choices and lifestyle

24:02

being made between fights. That

24:05

is what cost him that fight now That's

24:07

the truth and that's not our business if they

24:10

want to keep that private fine But whoever asked

24:12

Eugene for the interview when he said yes Eugene

24:14

goes and he answers the questions you ask him

24:18

Some might be sensitive and some might not

24:20

but he always tells the truth and he's

24:22

always right this guy never is wrong And

24:26

that's the kind of thing that if a coach came out and said is

24:29

he And that coach are

24:31

no longer together and I have a feeling it

24:33

probably did the opposite And

24:35

I'm feeling that is he saw that read that said

24:38

he's right and I'm gonna make these

24:40

changes because I trust and respect him so much

24:43

but I Did appreciate

24:45

it and somebody needs to speak on

24:47

that I mean is he ends up

24:50

losing a belt the massive upset doesn't

24:52

quite look himself doesn't respond quite like

24:54

himself There

24:56

there was something very clearly that was

24:58

different Is

25:00

that good battering different? But

25:03

different right when all saw what is it? Well, then we

25:05

find out that there

25:07

was You know, everybody's gonna let

25:09

their hair down It's

25:12

just a matter of does that lead to a

25:14

bad decision Does that bad decision get when you

25:16

let your hair down moment get you put? in

25:20

headlines so when Izzy went through that

25:24

He never spoke on him. None of us really

25:26

asked him because I'm kind of understood didn't way Yeah,

25:29

I kind of understood didn't like it and

25:32

this is bad, but he's being punished He knows it's but we

25:34

don't we don't need to tell him or retell him or kick

25:36

him He's already down and

25:38

not only that he's now he's got this legal ish

25:40

and it cost him a belt leg

25:43

Hey, we're not gonna give him a hard time But

25:47

if we did have our druthers It

25:49

would be something that he acknowledged and didn't do

25:51

again because he is a human being that we

25:54

care about right But this is real like I

25:56

really did appreciate that our commuter did not tease

25:58

on us on you for that pick on

26:00

him. I really did appreciate that.

26:04

And I just

26:06

think that Barrieman is making such great points. I

26:09

really hope, I trust, but I also do,

26:11

I do, I do hope that

26:13

those guys, the Dan Hooker and company understand

26:17

what they have here. They have somebody that

26:19

watches them, who observes them, who cares about

26:22

them, but also will speak straight to them.

26:24

It just doesn't happen very often. And

26:27

you can't get burned out doing it three times a

26:29

year. He's right. I don't want to hear about the

26:31

training, the monotony. I get it. I

26:33

know there's more to it, but you also

26:35

hear from guys like Volkanovski, who's very direct to tell you,

26:37

man, when I'm not doing that, I don't have purpose and

26:39

I'm down. So it can't be both ways. Can't

26:41

be, I need this. I love the lifestyle. It

26:43

just can't be. And this

26:47

is very real, man. Dana White did an interview and I just

26:49

caught it. I think he did like a week ago, but I

26:51

saw it this morning. And

26:56

they talked to him about retirement all the time. And he even

26:58

said, man, I don't care about the money. And

27:02

John Anakin publicly talked about, you know, some

27:04

of the emotion that goes up and down.

27:06

I would just pulls at you. And

27:09

they said, man, I saw an ex-interview and I'm

27:11

the opposite. I want chaos. If I wake up and

27:13

there's not some kind of chaos, I'll go and create

27:15

it. I'll go and make, there's

27:17

not conflict. I'll make it. I love it. I

27:19

thrive in this stuff. You'll

27:23

see a lot of people that are in positions

27:25

like Dana, where when it all ends, they

27:28

live like five years. There's like

27:30

five star generals that

27:32

are, they're absolutely interested, but there's major stuff going

27:34

on. I mean, the world can come to an

27:36

end or they can save the world, but it's,

27:39

I mean, everybody's counting on them. When

27:41

they retire, I mean, it's five years. They're a

27:43

totally different person. They're at home. Maybe the phone

27:45

rings, maybe you play some golf. What do you

27:47

do? It's just a different spot. And Dana even

27:49

went as far as to say, I don't care

27:52

about the money anymore. Now

27:54

that doesn't mean I'll give the money back in exchange

27:56

for keeping the power and the responsibility. It doesn't mean

27:58

that, but it does mean. If the

28:01

power and the responsibility is to go today

28:03

or more money is to go

28:05

today, no, I'll take the chaos. So

28:08

it was a

28:10

big statement that Coach Barriman made. It was

28:12

a big statement. Why? Why

28:14

guys? Because it was the truth.

28:17

You can't be burned out at something by doing it three times

28:19

a year. He's right. So what do you

28:21

do? Because burnout and lack of motivation, you're saying the

28:23

same thing. Where did your motivation go? How did you

28:25

lose it? What happened?

28:28

What did we miss? What can we adjust? What can

28:30

we change? I mean, here's Coach Barriman. He's

28:33

got to go. He's got to go. He's got to. You're

28:35

doing it three times a year. He's got

28:37

to do it three and four times in evening. Same

28:40

thing. Same fight camp. Same get

28:43

a guy to a scale. Same media tour.

28:45

Same airplane. Same hotel. Same make

28:47

the walk. Same strategy. Same

28:50

pressure. Except he's got to do it four times in evening.

28:52

He doesn't get tired of it. I mean, it's a really

28:54

interesting point. I love how we said it. There's

28:56

some things it just needs said. And

28:59

Coach Barriman, tell the

29:01

world. You

29:04

don't get to overdo something that you

29:06

only do three times a year. You

29:09

need to change the way you're approaching it. I

29:13

love it. I love

29:15

it to the point where I have. Does

29:30

he take us at the wrong time? Has

29:36

he slowed down? Is he over and done

29:38

with? If he loses this fight, is

29:41

he at a championship contention? With

29:44

Volkanovski's age, if he loses this fight, does he

29:46

fall the number one contender and possibly

29:49

look to do an immediate rematch for the very

29:51

title that

29:54

he passed to somebody else or because of his

29:56

age, does he move on? These are all the

29:58

topics, guys. They are at

30:01

Draft Kings right now. My partners got these

30:03

guys negative 118 to plus 102. I

30:09

cannot believe how close

30:12

Volkanovski is to becoming the underdog.

30:16

And you're not seeing anything with

30:19

age. You're not seeing anything with mental

30:21

capacity. You're not seeing anything based

30:23

on the numbers, which

30:26

you're seeing here and you're missing it, right?

30:28

It's like all things in fight business.

30:30

I believe I have friends that are executives

30:32

at the major companies for 20 years that

30:35

don't know the fight business. But

30:39

what you're seeing and the lesson you

30:42

should be gathering is

30:44

how helpful a loss

30:46

is. None

30:49

of this story of

30:51

Volkanovski 102 and 118

30:53

and Izzy Old. Can Toporia be the one?

30:55

Is Toporia the one? Is it a passing

30:57

of the torch? Make sure you tune in.

30:59

None of that works. Evolt

31:03

beat Islam. None

31:07

of the storyline and the anticipation and

31:09

looking at and realizing this could be

31:12

the one. Wow. This

31:16

number one contender in Ilya Toporia who got

31:18

here, the only way we could find to

31:21

get a number one contender here, which is

31:23

make sure he stays away from Max Holloway,

31:27

is getting ready to bring

31:29

down the greatest of all time.

31:33

Not just featherweight, possibly fighter,

31:36

possibly. And

31:38

before you say no, so and so is better and so

31:40

and so is better, which you have the right to do.

31:42

But before you do that, make sure guys like Kamara Usman,

31:46

Cosma Chamay of Henry Sahutto, Amanda

31:48

Nunes, John Jones, make sure you

31:51

understand that they have already

31:53

been included in this debate and lost. Pound

31:57

for pound number one in front of all

31:59

of us. was

32:01

Volkonovski. So

32:04

Volk is already breathing very rare air. You're gonna have

32:06

to go back. You're gonna have to bring in the

32:08

Khabibs and the St. Peter's and you really don't have

32:10

anybody else. When

32:13

Volk surpassed John Jones and Amanda Nunes

32:15

at the same time while

32:18

simultaneously being in

32:20

front of Islam, Sohudo and

32:22

Kamara, it put him into

32:25

a very rare category. Had

32:27

he not fought... See, I'm telling you, if

32:30

he beat Islam, this fight doesn't work from

32:32

an anticipation standpoint. If

32:34

he hadn't fought Islam, this fight doesn't work

32:36

from an anticipation standpoint. It would be about

32:38

three to one. Two

32:41

things came when Volk fought Islam the second

32:43

time. First off, he lost. We didn't know

32:45

that was possible. He got stopped. The

32:47

great enforceable... the thing that you can't

32:50

stop... you just found that button and

32:53

you flipped it to red, right? Turn him off. Didn't

32:56

know that was possible. Then collectively, you

32:59

caught an interview where Superman

33:02

revealed his kryptonite. Had

33:07

that not happened, had

33:09

that less than five minutes in

33:11

time not happened, we do not

33:13

have plus 102

33:15

to negative 118. We do not have anticipation.

33:17

We do not have talk of a 35

33:19

year old, which has proven to be very

33:22

young in our sport. Randy Couture debuted

33:24

at 34. We

33:28

don't even have these conversations. And

33:32

I bring that to you because

33:34

of how helpful a loss is. You

33:40

just got to know where

33:42

to look. And Dan

33:45

had told a story. I'll get it as close as

33:47

I can, but I'll get the theme 100%. Which

33:53

is you don't know what

33:55

good news is or what bad news is. You

33:58

hear things, you have a reaction, you decide... right there

34:00

in that moment if this is good news or

34:02

bad news. And

34:06

guy a farmer out in the olden day with his son,

34:08

his only son, his son breaks his leg and people

34:11

came to him and said, oh my god this is this is

34:13

awful. I know hospitals back then. Imagine

34:15

the pain and no anesthesia. There's not cash. You're

34:17

the best you can. You're trying to get splinters

34:20

between a couple

34:22

of sticks you found out in the burn pile. And I'm

34:24

just sharing for you. Big deal, breaks your leg. And they

34:26

came and told the old man, oh my god this is

34:28

terrible news. And he said maybe. And

34:31

then two weeks later the military came

34:34

through they were doing a draft.

34:36

They were grabbing anybody that was

34:38

fit and taking them to battle and most were not

34:40

coming back. But

34:42

the farmer's son because of the broken leg could

34:45

not go. It did not go. His

34:47

life was safe. So you start to see, oh maybe

34:49

that maybe that wasn't bad news. And

34:52

I share that for you because nothing

34:54

is more helpful than the truth. That

34:57

expression that it will set you free is one of

34:59

the more true expressions in life. I

35:03

watched the promotion

35:07

attempt to

35:09

erase reality and say that John Jones had not

35:11

lost. And they

35:14

were doing that in an attempt that they thought that that would hurt. A 32

35:17

and 0 John Jones is better than a 31 and

35:19

1 John Jones. And

35:22

they went the wrong way. They

35:25

should have advertised that loss

35:27

repeatedly. They should have worked within that loss.

35:31

The rules are extremely clear and John

35:33

broke the rules. But why? Did

35:35

he lose focus in that moment? Is

35:40

he so detached from the sport of which he is

35:42

king that he never knew the rule in the first

35:44

place? John

35:47

himself has told two different government agencies, one

35:49

of them the

35:52

police on video that he

35:54

has CTE. Is that what

35:56

happened? Is that why he lost control and dropped

35:58

the Zellows? Is

36:02

John's drug and or alcohol use?

36:04

Is that why he had a

36:07

rage and lost control, broke the

36:09

rules and was forced to be

36:12

disqualified? Now everything

36:15

that I just said built a reaction in you.

36:18

Some of you laughed, some of you liked it, some of you wanted

36:20

to pile on it, some of you quickly wanted to come to John's

36:22

defense. Either way, all I did was use the truth and

36:24

make that part of the story as

36:27

opposed to being so uncreative of how to

36:29

tell a story that I wanted to get

36:31

out my eraser and erase it. Did

36:33

you guys ever watch Scorsese? Scorsese

36:37

is easily the most overrated

36:39

person in the industry and I like his work.

36:42

His work is fine. He's terrible at what he

36:44

does for the most part. Like there's not a

36:46

lot of Scorsese movies that you're going to see

36:48

where they don't have a voiceover. Now

36:51

a voiceover is kin

36:54

to putting writing

36:56

on this script before you fade to black and

36:59

roll credits. Like the movie is over and

37:02

they put the captions on and you're supposed to read it. You

37:07

only have to do a voiceover or

37:09

those captions if you lacked the ability

37:11

to tell the story. If

37:14

there's some piece of a story that you didn't

37:16

know how to tell to the audience in captured

37:19

visual and captured sound which is

37:21

what a movie is, you

37:24

then write it down on the screen so that they get the story

37:27

because you're not very good at your job. So

37:30

if you lack that level of creativity and I'm

37:32

just sharing with you like there's parts and messages

37:35

within our sport, within what

37:37

is promotion, this

37:39

is getting ready to be Volkonovski's biggest fight

37:42

ever. Your

37:46

livegate will be revealed to you.

37:49

But to do a sellout in mixed martial arts in

37:51

the state of California, which is a red hot state,

37:53

but to do that at 145 pounds has not been

37:55

done before. This

37:58

will be a first. Just to let you know how.

38:00

big this fight is. And before

38:02

you think it's Iliad Te Pore, and you might make that

38:04

mistake, and I don't say this to hurt Te Pore, it's

38:06

not Iliad Te Pore. Mr.

38:09

Waddlebottle did not just all of a sudden become

38:11

a star, or somebody talking trash to Volk. See,

38:14

this is very surface level, because that's what it appears to

38:16

you, somebody's talking trash to him, somebody's going to bring him

38:18

down. None

38:21

of those things are the ingredient that built

38:23

this fight. This fight is built

38:25

because Volk got beat. What

38:28

you thought was impossible, you now know

38:30

is possible. What

38:33

you thought was impossible, you now view as probable.

38:36

If you were to look at a younger guy who's

38:38

never lost, something set for momentum, which we know is

38:40

important in sport, versus a guy that had to wake

38:42

up with smelling salts three months ago. It's

38:46

important to know what works. It's important to know

38:48

why it works. It's important to know how to

38:50

make these things work. They're

38:54

far more helpful. Plus

38:57

102 to negative 118 is

39:01

a perception that is fully

39:03

based on a perception. Doesn't matter how

39:05

silly that is. Doesn't matter which way

39:08

this fight goes.

39:10

Volk versus Islam was three to one based

39:12

on perception. It ended up being

39:14

one of the most competitive and closest fight to where the

39:16

judges didn't even agree. That's what the decision is.

39:19

Where you guys didn't even agree and the promoters

39:21

didn't fully agree, which is why they rematched it

39:23

immediately in

39:26

spite of other things that led to it. Are

39:28

you understanding? People

39:31

miss it all the time. They don't know what to look for. They don't

39:33

know what's right in front of their face. I

39:36

only bring it to you because it's yet

39:38

another lesson. There's nowhere you can go to

39:40

major and fight promotion. There's no book that

39:42

you can check out. It's a very close

39:44

mouth business. When you meet guys that know

39:46

of which there's five alive and

39:50

you think I can go watch their They're

39:53

going to give you what's known as misinformation. They

39:57

know fellow competitors are watching.

40:00

So they educate them in the

40:02

wrong direction to be very careful I'm

40:06

doing my best in this situation to help and let you

40:08

know what the added ingredient is You don't think focus too

40:10

old and if all gets beat up by two poor. It's

40:12

not because he's too old Because

40:16

to poor is better than him Bulk

40:20

was the number one ranked fighter in the world this time

40:22

a year ago Bulk is

40:24

currently the champion of the world So

40:28

There's no I'm too old and too slow. I'm

40:30

too anything. You're as good as this guy or

40:32

you aren't but that idea That

40:35

conception and perception right and both bulk is

40:37

younger than John Jones who is not gonna

40:39

fight for years Bulk is

40:41

six years younger than Steve Amy Ochik. Who's

40:44

a reigning number one contender I mean like

40:46

this is a silly conversation But it exists

40:48

that only exists for one reason because there's

40:50

one thing about this fight that makes it

40:53

helpful and interesting and only one And

40:58

it's what so many people would normally run from it's

41:02

a loss When

41:12

I speak about the rock not being all

41:15

moonlight and kamish and I

41:18

gotta tell you I Love

41:20

the rock. I'm a very big fan.

41:23

I've never met him. I would love to meet him

41:26

But I've communicated with him. We know the same people.

41:28

He sent me messages or I sent one back He

41:31

personally wrote me a very beautiful message the

41:33

night I retired and I didn't know how

41:37

Direct messaging worked so I didn't get it for

41:39

many months. So I never thanked him things like

41:41

this But it was very beautiful.

41:43

I mean, let me know that he enjoyed my work as

41:45

a commentator and Whether

41:47

he was just being nice or not. I

41:50

took it as sincere. He said like my work. He said

41:52

he valued it They didn't use these

41:54

words chill you tell it like it is but

41:57

it was close it meant that and

41:59

I see because I know he watches these pieces

42:03

and if he did mean those words,

42:05

if he really does value my opinion as

42:07

somebody that can stare back and look at

42:09

the board and then identify things accurately, I

42:11

would imagine in his space he doesn't have

42:13

very many people like that. So

42:16

I, whether falsely or even

42:18

arrogantly, view myself as

42:20

somebody that can get his

42:22

ear and program to what he's not seeing. So

42:26

when I come out and I'm not, always

42:30

wonderful. It

42:32

does come from a good point and it has to do

42:34

because he took the time to write me it. You know,

42:36

personal letter is a very big deal. Personal

42:38

letter goes, it goes a lot further right

42:42

than something else. So I

42:44

share that because he's in a jackpot right

42:46

now and and I just feel like they're

42:49

missing it. The rocks

42:51

gonna come in, right? And you got to get your

42:53

timeline down. You got to

42:55

get your timeline down. Boom! On a Thursday

42:58

Netflix announces and

43:01

it jumps the, I apologize, it

43:03

jumps the TKO stock. The UFC even got

43:05

a bump from this because they're now in

43:08

bed together. Twenty

43:10

plus percent, it

43:13

was just under 21 percent on

43:15

an announcement that they did a

43:17

five billion dollar Netflix deal.

43:21

And one of the reasons it drove up is

43:23

because people that read it and understood it saw

43:25

it was for raw. That was the fascinating part.

43:28

So wait a minute, is this a misprint? I actually don't know the

43:30

answer to that question. There shouldn't be misprints

43:32

at that level. That could be viewed as

43:34

a crime. You don't get to make mistakes

43:36

at that level but is

43:38

it? It's almost too good to be true. Five,

43:41

that would really be incredible. I mean

43:44

that would be shockingly great

43:48

deal for WWE.

43:51

So okay great. But

43:53

that comes out on a Thursday. Boom! Vince

43:58

defecates on a woman's head. on a

44:00

Friday. Saturday

44:02

is a

44:05

pay-per-view where Beast incarnate Brock

44:07

Lesnar is supposed to return

44:09

they pull him. Sunday

44:12

is often by Monday morning

44:14

Brock and Vince do not

44:16

exist in the digital universe

44:19

of wwe.com. So

44:23

this is your timeline, okay? Somewhere

44:27

in there The

44:29

Rock joins the board of

44:32

directors for TKO. Now that is

44:34

not a work of any kind

44:37

and there again it would

44:40

be a crime. I mean not that any of you

44:42

think that it's work I'm just sharing for you that

44:44

there's some real sensitivities when you start dealing with the

44:46

SEC. There's some real sensitivities when you start to deal

44:48

with a board of a publicly traded company where

44:52

you live in one space where nobody knows

44:54

what reality is and you never live in

44:56

another space where boy it better all be

44:58

reality. So it's just an interesting juxtaposition and

45:03

also as an overlay to this is Rock is

45:05

going to return and when he returns he's gonna

45:07

take the highest spot which of course he is.

45:09

The Rock's not gonna return to open a show.

45:12

He's not going to return to be

45:14

a co-mate of it. Of course he's gonna return to

45:16

the top spot. Now if

45:18

he's volunteering to return you can put him at

45:20

a Royal Rumble. You can put

45:22

him at something special. You can put him

45:25

at an elimination chamber for that matter. It just

45:27

so happens the way the dates line up they're gonna

45:29

put him in a WrestleMania. Fine that might have been

45:31

the first mistake by the way but

45:34

fine this is all going to happen. So it's

45:37

very in line with wrestling right if you bring

45:39

the top draw in and wrestlers are incentivized to

45:42

want the top draw on top of the bill

45:44

even if it's not them even it means

45:46

bumping their own dreams. They're incentivized. The way the

45:48

money works is they also take a value on

45:51

the house. It's

45:53

a meaningfully different component that they

45:55

have versus what we have. and

46:00

they took our cues from them. Lorenzo Fertitta

46:02

told the world as much, but one thing

46:04

he did not take was that live gate

46:07

component because Lorenzo wasn't doing house shows, so

46:09

he didn't think it was relevant that he

46:11

do take the house component. I'm only pointing

46:13

to that distinction, because

46:16

it would be very normal and even supportive with

46:18

the Rock did. The Rock did nothing wrong by

46:20

returning and agreeing to go to top of the

46:23

bill. That May they called him and said, do

46:25

you want to return without even stating it? He's

46:27

going to the top of the bill without even

46:29

discussing it. He's going to

46:31

put the other guy over. He's not going to win

46:33

a one, two, three. It's the titles on the line,

46:37

which is why if you would have used him

46:39

somewhere else, you might've put him in a non-title

46:41

match and that way he could win. You wouldn't

46:43

know at that point, but

46:46

you can't sell something where people know the

46:49

finish. So when the Rock is going

46:51

to come in, so you got to understand there was a big

46:53

mix up made here. They misread the

46:56

room. It was supposed

46:58

to be Cody Roman, Rock steps in, bump

47:00

Cody, put Rock opposite Roman. And

47:04

it's not what the crowd wanted. They knew they had to run that

47:06

back. They knew they had to run

47:08

that back and they needed to fix it. And

47:10

the crowd was very passionate and they were not playing.

47:14

Now business probably would have done the same thing. You

47:17

probably would have attracted and moved just as much, if for

47:19

sure it was sell-offs, likely going to do very good numbers

47:21

on TV as well. It's probably not going to change, but

47:26

that's not one of the rules of wrestling. And

47:28

when you're at the biggest event of the year, which

47:30

is WrestleMania, you observe and show an absolute

47:33

integrity and respect to the rules of wrestling,

47:35

which is you give

47:37

the crowd what they want. Number

47:39

one, you want to finish

47:41

that thought, you give them what they want, not what

47:43

they're expecting, but either way it's in that order, you

47:45

give them what they want. We got to get Cody

47:47

back in there. Got to get the Rock out. So

47:50

they decide they're going to bring these

47:52

big three to a Smackdown, a Thursday

47:55

night Smackdown. They do

47:57

bring them, the Rock turns heel,

48:00

turn heel because he didn't pick up a full schedule.

48:02

He doesn't have a full contract. He's supposed to do

48:04

a couple of appearances and then WrestleMania. So

48:07

to turn him heel was confusing.

48:11

To go heel, he smacks Cody somewhere when the

48:13

rock shows up and he's supposed to be the

48:15

main event. Somewhere in slapping Cody, the rock gets

48:17

pulled, Cody gets put back in. So they achieved

48:20

what they needed to achieve, which is to pull

48:22

the rock, insert Cody. But

48:24

making the rock heel and doing a slap and how

48:26

you get from a slap and a heel to now

48:29

you lose your spot. It was a stretch. And

48:33

I'm okay with the whole thing because that can all

48:35

be part of the work, right? Like I'm not sitting

48:37

back, stop right here. These are the mistakes. Right now

48:39

it's all a story. You come in, you realize some

48:41

of these things, maybe you even knew it ahead of

48:43

time. You fix it come Monday night. You adjust it

48:46

a little more. You change it by the next Thursday.

48:48

Like I understand this part of the process. What I'm

48:50

here to tell you is they're going with the wrong

48:52

story. They're going

48:54

with the wrong story. The

48:56

rock and Roman are related. I think

48:58

it's a cousin situation. It might be

49:01

an uncle nephew situation. They're related and

49:03

everybody knows they're related. They

49:06

should have used that. Cody

49:09

took on the WWE and he

49:11

won. Cody took on

49:13

Vince McMahon straight up. You

49:15

and me lined in the sand. Here's what you did to

49:18

my brother. Here's what you did to my

49:20

mother-in-law. Here's what you did. My father

49:22

wasn't all great stuff. And

49:24

here's what I'm going to do to you and Cody stuck

49:26

it to him bad, real bad. AEW

49:29

doesn't exist without Cody's

49:31

personal vendetta and

49:33

strategy opposite WWE

49:36

headlined by Vince. Vince

49:40

is now gone and Cody is headlining

49:42

WrestleMania. He did it by himself. Roman

49:46

is around and he's going to headline WrestleMania, but

49:50

his flesh and blood sits on the board

49:52

of directors. That is

49:54

your story. And

49:57

the rock should not apologize for it. You don't become heel.

50:00

you came out you slapped a guy at a

50:02

fake press conference. You

50:05

become heel for the heelish move that you

50:07

actually did. You joined

50:09

the board, you used your influence, you stole a

50:11

spot from a guy. Now

50:15

everyone knows the rocks going to the main event

50:18

and it happened to be main event. We all

50:20

get there's nothing there that anybody would push back

50:22

against. He doesn't have to go against Roman. He

50:24

could have gone against Cody. He went against Roman

50:28

and bumped Cody because they're flesh and

50:30

blood. He

50:33

came into a business

50:35

filled with nepotism and he invoked

50:37

nepotism. He

50:39

jobbed the guy that took on

50:41

the company that destroyed

50:44

his family and

50:46

he won. Cody's still

50:48

there and Cody's still standing and

50:50

he did it all by himself and it was the

50:52

ultimate strategy of leaving the organization going on the free

50:54

market. Nobody even knows what that means. Well that's because

50:57

they don't know that Cody has teamed up with Khan

50:59

is going to start an entire promotion. Starts

51:02

the promotion, raises to the top, stabs that promotion

51:04

back to go back here to get what he

51:06

wanted in the first place which was the headlight

51:08

spot at WrestleMania and the one, two, three. So

51:11

he gets just that close last year

51:14

but it's still your family

51:16

versus my family and

51:18

Vince took it from him and

51:22

that's why Vince took it from him and

51:24

that's the truth. And

51:27

there's Cody on his own, family

51:30

broken apart. Some

51:32

of them rest their soul. Very tough stuff

51:36

but he's still fought and he's still winning

51:39

and when it was one-on-one he

51:42

beat them all and

51:44

the way that Roman Reigns was going to beat

51:47

him was an unfair fight that wasn't one-on-one. It's

51:50

going to be multiple us versus you. Oh

51:53

by the way we got

51:55

a seat at the board and

51:58

that's the story they should have told. the

52:00

real story nothing throughout wrestling has

52:03

ever worked like the

52:05

real story nothing

52:08

even the guys that try even when Vin Diesel was trying

52:10

to come at the Rock one time to sell some tickets

52:13

to Fast and Furious 7 which is already selling but you

52:15

know it's just weird stuff we just see through it so

52:19

they came in they did a slap they changed

52:21

the card seat at the table whatever you do

52:23

it finished the story or they could have told

52:25

the truth which is a wall matters

52:36

alright guys, I just can't believe this episode

52:38

I want to thank you for listening now

52:41

I ask you all, all of

52:43

you that live on Spotify I just want to know

52:45

52:48

gotta give him a shout out to Chef because he took

52:50

the time to respond to me you

52:52

know what, I'm not interested I'd

52:55

rather see you, meaning I'm in

52:57

Mosmanoff there's an

53:01

idea I had to give you, Chevy

53:04

and you know what, to all of you I do want to thank

53:06
