Yeah, and our guy is he is here Telling wax how thick he is Yeah Well, you just gonna have to take that bro listen, you just gonna have to take that No, I was talking to Izzy about how many calories does he burn in a date because that's something I'm on now because you know I'm getting my my I'm really taking training serious No, I'm on I'm on a hit training diet. I don't know what perm guy does doing much my cousin Tony But it's like he I watch how many calories I just burned in a day just doing regular stuff Yeah, sitting down just sitting down walking around Oh, yeah This girl act like this shit more important in her job you gonna miss your blessing you real talk sit down right here Izzy was asking about you Hello Taylor. Are you? Pleasure That's close Hey, he said he said for some reason you remind him of Chloe Bailey. I never said that For some reason I Want to see if it looked like Chloe Bailey's cuz she got her thing all online, so you know that is true That is true. That is Thank you Appreciate that. Yeah, how do you feel man? You just in here regular like you just wasn't fighting for your life All day with crippling anxiety So the idea that you're just calm after fighting For me like it's it's about so after that happens, right you go backstage they pull you like different directions They're like, you know media this way come speak to me I come speak to Laura press conference and this guy and that then right take this photo take that photo in this and then Like I always say after the fire look forward to my shower Cuz that's for me a shower is the most honest place in the world I feel like I'm near when the matrix when it go all that white space Mm-hmm. Well, you're normally there by yourself and more so than taking a shit in the public place. Nah, I fuck that Nah, but like you're just yeah, you're in the shower and you're you're naked You're in your bare essentials and with your thoughts So then I get to really process how I feel and then that's what helps me kind of like I guess Get back into being me get back from being I guess the alter ego of being the style burn It's just being is being Izzy and yeah I mean now I'm just on I'm on a job right now just doing this whole media tour So yeah similar thing kind of like you know being pulled in different directions, but then after this is done I'm going to the game tonight same thing. I'll be you know on my shit Smiling wave all that and then when when it's all said and done I go back to my hotel room and then Silence. Yeah, but I never see you get like Everybody yeah, like you never like that even at the fights. You never like it don't ever seem like you're in violent mode Only one time Well, I saw you upset in a pre-fight remind me when Costa brought out the white belt. Oh, yeah That's the only time also Brunson kind of got to me in that late one time This is at the bar before the before the press conference He was sitting across from me and starts talking shit and it's on tape It's on my Instagram somewhere online and um, yeah I was just we started talking shit back and forth and the security I had to kind of come in between and just you know settle it but um the Costa one I saw everything beforehand. I was so on for that fight like I knew there was a bulging is um in a shirt none of his pants Like just around his abdomen, I was like he's got a belt on and then I saw that you have a black If you know, so I say you have a black belt He lifts it up and said I have the gift for you and then he brings out this fucking Road the bathrobe thing and I knew that was coming So I knew he's gonna try and hit it at me And I kind of like flinched the first time because I thought I was gonna throw it And then when he threw it caught it with the left cuz you know, I'm Nigerian. Yeah, I know my way around the belt I whipped him with the right and then and then I got him and then he's like And I was calm the whole time. Yeah, this is all for gaze. This is all acting It's theatrics. I even said and he's like and then right there and then he shows me his game plan It was I'm here. Come here. I'm here. Come here Like he wants to do a face off But I was like, this is what he wants to do in the fight and guess what in the fight he does you run it Why you running come here? Come here. So he showed me his hand too early You watch it at the at the way ends is that I'm here come here cuz you wanted that he wanted to get it back So if I obliged and come there then he would have pushed me or something But I'm like, no, I'm just gonna stay right here And I was looking at him and then in the fight same thing when he couldn't touch me So why you running? Why you running come here? And then I came elsewhere So in a moment like that Did he eventually come to you not came to him Is that is that the new biggest fear after losing a fight like getting humped on yeah Cuz before it's just like I don't get knocked out for all my people But now you get knocked out and then just violated It depends on you fighting though like you fight You know, he might do something like On how it was before the fight like this guy like I was saying before in the other room I said like it's all about the story. You're telling yourself, right? So This fight that fall that fight. I felt like he was a quintessential Jock or bully that I had to deal with coming up because you know I got picked on a lot being a skinny black kid in the town that didn't have many like me and Yeah, he just reminded me of all these cunts I used to deal with back in the day and the way he was acting before the fight Just being a bully and I was just like I want to take the bite off the bully So I had to become what I hated and be the bully. So I guess you have to be kind of therapeutic, right? Yeah, fighting as it is. Yeah, it's a way of kind of like comedians. I guess, you know, there's like I I've got the chips in the dip of my shoulder. So there's certain things I want to I want to express you know from past past trauma that I Get to do so now. No, this is interesting. We're talking about this before I'm curious perspective. He's like Well, tell tell Charlotte about how you don't want to necessarily let go of Oh, yeah, cuz it inspires. Yeah, this is my fear as well with like settling on my trauma I'm like, is that gonna take away my advantage? That's probably like I like being hungry like therapy because therapy going like you need therapy You need therapy everyone needs therapy, but there's a certain level much like so I haven't been to the jungle of Peru yet because I don't want to touch. I respect the sacred sacred lands I can't wait to do what I want to I want to but and when it calls me a will but I just don't want to go Like five years, I have to do it and I've had opportunities to go get it done even in New Zealand but I'm kind of like, you know, I'll wait till I'm done fighting because I don't want to You know deal with all the stuff that I haven't dealt with yet That's just suppressed suppressed that this is gonna bring out to the forefront. I'm forced to look at it And then what if I come at it, you know Enlightened or Understanding where that comes from and then I identify the monster and I kill it and then what if it affects my fight But this also happened in the avatar series long story short Prince Zuko Chasing the avatar trying to catch him finally catches him then becomes friends with him And then he can't firebend anymore because he doesn't have the anger that drive anymore So yet he and Ang have to find the first source of firebending they go to this Tribe that's hidden and then find the original firebenders which was these two dragons And then they were they were able to learn the the original way of firebending with that all that So I believe I might even be a better fighter for it. Yeah, that's the gamble. That's that's the gamble Yeah, what am I what if I'm not? But what if it's not even the anger that's driving you know exactly that's what if I'm not what if I Get that done and it just lifts the weights off me And I'm just like I'm even more sure of myself more more lighter, you know, I mean more dangerous That's the word I would use for you when I see you in the ring. It's light. Yeah, you know, I mean So it's like I don't even know if anger is I mean you were no better than me because you're the one in there But I don't know if anger is what fuels you when you in the rain. Yeah, you don't seem like I'm not angry The last fight I had just on the weekend. I wasn't angry and we talked about this as well. Oh my guy Jeff he's He kind of brought it to my attention that Whenever I have Static with someone or beef with someone I really take them out I really go at them in a different way and this guy fought. This is a rematch first of my foot him He just reminded me again of just these fucking content I used to deal with back in the day and like I said at the press conference before the fight were in Melbourne and his country and The whole crowd was on his side and he'll say something and everyone just be like Like they're hammered up and I'm like you guys are just fucking You know, it just felt like he was a jock and he had his cool kids around him and just talking shit Hmm and I was like fucking watch this like I was just like I'm gonna show you guys like he's full of shit Mm-hmm, and I humbled him. I let him know he was full of shit So this time he came at me correct at the press conference. He was somber quiet. He said he said I had writing rights So I beat him up. I dropped him in the first round But you know Jeff made a note that you know, maybe I didn't have that same sting I do like with a costa with a brunson. Well goddamn Jeff, what do you want him to do? But did you lose that too like as you use chains, I'll be honest not just your skin tone by the way, but you Radio war shardling me mm-hmm like that when you're engaged with the beef the battle Do you think that you still have that? That switch that you could turn or do you think that you've come to a place? We're like, I don't even need to turn it. I think it's different. Mm-hmm. And only reason I think it's different is because I think that um Like I think when you talk about somebody like is he I don't think he does what he does out of anger because you have to be strategic in that ring You probably get knocked the fuck out. Yeah, there's ways though You can use your anger to your benefit this is you can raise your your level of anger for your benefit and Example brunson when I fought him at MSG, right and the fight the first time he grabs my shorts And I'm just like I know you grab my shorts and the second time he does it blatantly and I'm like that's twice now Yeah, and then like I flipped them off and then I raised my level of anger consciously I'm not attached to this guy He's not my friend, you know, he's not like Jeff Like he's if me and Jeff had beef I'll be clouded with emotion anger from emotion clouds your judgment But what anger when it's just from someone you don't really give a fuck about you can raise your level of anger to be assertive to be dominant and It's like fire. You can use it to like Fuel you or you can use it. It can burn your house down Yeah There's ways to use anger and there's a time and place to use anger But a lot of people have misplaced and misuse anger man That right there what he said is true because it's like back in the day if I'm talking about a person That was my mindset. I don't know this motherfucker. Yeah, you know, I mean But no, no, I don't give a fuck what that person feels Thanks. Yeah, cuz you know I'm not engaging with them at all at all But then as you you get older, you know, you start doing my work on yourself You and also you start hearing things about yourself. Yeah, you like Make nobody feel like that, you know what I'm saying just because like if I so now if I do approach Like if I have some conversation for somebody which I do is it's like it's critique It's actual. It's actually from a good place not a fuck you. I'm just trying to entertain You know, I'm trying to put even though I may mean what I'm saying Yeah, but I'm understanding the performance behind it now I was just like no that you really need to hear this also like benefit as you get more successful. Mm-hmm You're gonna interact with these people that you make fun of when you realize they're really Person on the screen. That's right name on the thing. That's right. See them. That's right face to the name Bro, the other day. We're on flagrant teasing Kid Cudi. I don't even listen to Kid Cudi Yeah, I'm literally doing it as a joke. I can name one kid Cudi song I'm sure the guy's a nice guy whatever, but we just going in I doubt this anything to do it But later in the day, he's like posting somewhere on his Instagram like pray for me as I Really submit me to help He's really bad No, he was the kid was way on it. He saved live bro. He saved my life Well, he saved him some kaya can beat his ass, isn't it? You know was crazy was crazy times that I I'd be happy is when somebody want to fight me I only get angry when I can't fuck you up. Why is that? Why is that? You're comfortable place though guy? Cuz he's got English. No, no, no, you want the man back in the day Had to go Straight program Peanut butter and jelly and fucking I know the We get it man, we ain't fucking with you like them. I'm like y'all know why I'm in here Yeah, no, but cut he really did say people's life beat said that he said that on breakfast before how he was like his music Sometimes man, just hearing people Share their story and talk about what they're going through being vulnerable It gives people screams. I mean somebody said that by coming gates. Not too long ago. Somebody. Yeah. Yeah He seemed like he's changed as well. He's leveling up. What aren't you supposed to Like you have to I feel like keep the same energy, but you need to evolve as a person mature as a person Yeah, yeah, it'll be easier for you though because it's like eventually you won't have to retire from fight 100% I like this I can't do this forever and I know I'm like if I was gonna retire man I would have done this like three fights ago. It was just about money I'll make my money a bounce, but I am I'm learning and I'm enjoying what I'm doing right now I'm in the stride of my prime. So I'm really enjoying even just this camp You know, we had to get locked down for three months in August. We're kind of behind with this whole covert shit in New Zealand It's bullshit. I don't want to get too much into it But we locked off in the gym, but we still found ways we still found ways to train allegedly We still you know did our thing and they didn't slow down our learning didn't stop I learned but they slowed it down and now I'm just like I'm really enjoying being back in the gym It's soaking things up. I feel like the young Izzy again the kid that would like learn this today and use it on you tomorrow Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah Let me buy a house like that's how I feel like I really I'm learning the game But I'm just I still feel like sometimes I range from like age 12 to 45. That's you know, depending on the day That's how I feel. Yeah, we don't know how mature you are until you tell us how many women use When that rotation how many women I'm celibate right now, man. Oh shit straight Wait, did I party after this fight Jeff Jane good all come on allegedly wow Now before like everyone's been out and we're in Houston everyone's being on my team I just went to the Super Bowl party and I fell asleep because we ain't too my too much But um, yeah after this five kind of just being I find my my time to myself and just kind of reflect and just be on my Own and just build my thoughts, but I'm on this world tour right now. So, you know, I mean, we're in New York I know some establishments My friend knows so I will I will visit these establishments and have a good time But I mean like That's what we use the word establishment for Club maybe I know that they look I'm not getting trapped. There's a reason I don't have no kids that I know of allegedly there's a reason TMZ I'm smart with the way I'm smart with the way I've learned from the mistake of others. Yes, you know And I made my own mistakes. Trust me. I ain't no fucking sink, but you ain't no none either How long you stay selling for? At the moment I'm not like I'm just Okay, so I got scared straight in a way not long ago Maybe like three months ago, I slid into someone's DM's right and then heard about it the next day And I was like, how the fuck you know about that and there's all she like just you know talked about it in some group chat And I put us what I was like yuck and what I was like, I didn't even open with nothing wild I never do but like I'm like it kind of made me feel like man I can't even just like say what's up in my own city and you know just shoot your shot So I do it the all-way now either I get rejected in person or I get accepted in person. Yeah Now you got to stay in MDM's Post a date that we went on years ago Before my oh this shit was funny man, I can't get it Listen, some people are just always funny. That's why I showed is in the line of work He's yeah, I just saw a team was like show me those teeth. He was like, let me objectify those teeth She had my seat no, but I know if I ask for anything else I'm wild Yeah, I asked for genius she gonna she gonna show me a picture naked smiling. Yeah And then I didn't ask for it. I'm like, oh, why don't you give me this shit? Can I be honest with you? She's trying to she's trying to say I'm a weirdo for asking to see the teeth. What does she send me? Anything you do like the teeth titties and toes is always like you say teeth. I mean titties and toes You just have to know that when you're texting with people talking to them on the phone They probably recording. Yeah, they definitely screen shot. Yeah, it's just like you got to know that in this If you do damn if you don't yeah, so what do you do watch porn do it in person in person shoot your shot in person That might be even worse. Nah You're creeping person. Yeah, but those secondhand stories are worse because all they want is the story Yeah, I just talked to Izzy somewhere and he said x y mz And then Chinese well Chinese whispers it was that like if I tell you something and then you tell him and then you tell And then it goes around then before you know, it's a whole different story. You're like, yeah Like that wasn't me I never did what am I That's not like COVID misinformation That's not like COVID He said she said pretty much that's that's the world we're living now though. It's all cloud. That's the new art Yo, it is cloud. Yeah, it's sad and it is also sad like I think when girls post that kind of shit It's them realizing this as far as it's gonna go. I honestly I feel like if you if that's like your flex You smashed I see I sometimes I see clips on Adam 22 sting where some chick would be like I did this with Drake I'm like, is that like your that's their peak? That's their peak. They don't see they don't see anything past that. That's these man sad What's these you get in front of these you feel like you have to say something everybody got a voice You know me you feel like you have to have some type of content You want to say something that's gonna create a buzz or something right? So your grandkids It's like it's like some it only happens when at least for me like some shit goes viral Yeah, when you're popping when I'm popping like like you got a fight coming up and all of a sudden all these girls looking through their DMs like Share the picture in 2014. They just want to get on board man course they see the energy They're like I want a little piece of that. I want to ride that wave I want to ride that wave. Yeah, and I don't think there's any I don't think there's too many things That's naturally viral. I mean naturally organically viral anymore cuz like sometimes right Yeah, I think I spoke about that here before you'll see clips of shows that'll go viral about us talking about certain people Hmm, and it might be like a week late or a month later, but I mean like why is this coming out now? I really be thinking the person we talking about putting it out. Just to keep yeah Yeah, I really believe it. I see I really believe that I think I did see some bad this week for no reason Some bad.

Yeah, I got Peter Jackson If we want to talk like current like current right now, I'm doing well I make this is why I like Some some of the things I say sometimes get taken out of context on purpose so they can sell You know what they want to sell on their website. Yeah, yeah, like what your clicks I mean, did you get a lot of flag food sticking up for Rogan? No, not that. No, I mean who's gonna tell me shit I'm like come at me. But um, something happened early in the I don't want to get too How do I get into it a little bit? So remember when I told um, what did I say? I think one of the fighters said one time to some doggy guys like, you know, I got dildos in the car I can fuck them boys and he was talking shit to me at the time and I said to him Yeah, this is like Kevin Holland Kevin Hollen said that Dildos and I can fuck them boys and then he was talking shit to me at the time as well So then I responded with the clip that I said to Derek Brunson like and I said bitch. I'll fucking You know, this is this fucking counselor called. They're gonna the thing is they're gonna take this out of context So I said bitch. I'll fucking I said that to him face-to-face at the Wayans and then I was rushing And then they took that they took that just bleep it Yeah, bleep it so that they took that and then ran with it as like this and I'm like you taking out of context on purpose Yeah, you know, so crazy think about how much Mike Tyson used to say stuff wrong. Fuck you. Do you love me maggot? And he actually said what you say. Yeah, I'm like the real world. I'm like eat your kids Man like Mike some of us like eat your kids Yeah, that was the 90s brought a 90s was different 90s early 2000s was different and week one day We're gonna have to have those conversations. Oh, yeah, what come just those conversations about how culture changed Not punishing people for the fucking Let it go before you dig up some shit. Make sure they did you only talk about it. They did. Yeah, that's true I was talking I was I was talking to somebody on not gonna say who but they were saying how like you can't even get people to Have that conversation. Mmm. Nobody even wants to have it. Don't touch it. Don't even want to touch it They don't even want to go near it because they're like, I'm not fucking risking They buy old tweets. Oh, they was like fuck it. Let it go. Yep. That's crazy. Young Bailey Yeah Tell him why you're too busy for us. Oh You said Chloe Bailey You say she's like no, no You've heard She had the fucking window still shit and it turned into Chloe I heard you do it yourself. I heard you like you put the picture up Morris chestnut That's not a feature you can put the picture up yourself. Yo, man, I don't know why that shit was checkered when I did it Yeah, I love you. You're so what do you mean? So it's just like a black and white screen when I did it. Oh shit, that's the that's the game's way of saying Listen, but what do y'all think about everything that's been going on this week I Was like everything the best words transition I've ever What do y'all think about everything everything's been going on this week now Because in my mind I saw we got the wide shot you have to sit in my mind I saw a bunch of shit, but it was really that whole everything around we don't care about this week or shit We care about that too. Yes the Kanye Pete Kim. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah What do y'all think? From the perspective of feel me and feel me and I'll be focusing on other things But I see like little things on Instagram and I might slide like twice or swipe twice and I'm sorry I'm sorry is calling is calling the man as currently dating your ex-wife is calling him skeet and insults What skeet like jizz? Could you argue that it's accurate talk to me He's skeeting Huh on your ex-wife. Yes, so you are being more descriptive than insulted true indeed So I don't know if it's that bad. I don't know Concepts that he uses the term Causes he calls him skeet see David. Oh, I see I see you look like skeet. That's funny If you look like come he's trying to he's trying to I don't think he looks like come. Yeah, it's trying to call Pete that Oh, I don't know. I think that's a horrible name to call somebody who's currently with your ex-wife What? Skeet skeet. Why is that even in your mind? Why are you putting that in other people? Yeah fucking cheeks exactly so you could you would call your New your ex-wife relationship I have with them But you know, I don't feel I should be invested that much in you know, someone else's Relationship even if you were involved with them. I feel like Context there's worse things you could be called. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, like if you know I'm smashing your wife Your name's already Peter. Yeah Remind you of You can say skeet you can say Peter. Yeah, I mean it all comes back to the or the man who's having sex with his ex-wife Yeah, I mean listen, that's a better word It's just sad. It's kind of it's kind of just it's kind of just sad to watch Why is it out there? Why why are we getting involved? You know the thing I hate the most now I hate when people say They'll release a statement but then say hey, I want to keep this private though No, I want to be a private matter between me and my family. It's like you just made it public Like Kanye is acting like what's that guy's name Hoodville right now? Who's that? It's like a Instagram account toxic niggas man. It's just yeah, it's like memes and stuff But yeah, he's just his constant. Ah, just like, you know, he just post all these like weird toxic memes So I feel like Kanye West is like going for Hoodville right now. Yeah, but you can't imagine that Smashing like somebody you love it happens. It's life. I mean, were they even living together wasn't he living in Montana like I don't know. I just think that Kanye is an album. Oh when he's in album mode, he just taps into whatever He's doing the Jordan. Maybe he's doing the Jordan. Like, you know, I took that personally Yeah drawing from the negative. Yeah for that fuel And I think that he needs fuel and his fuel is his attention and it's like, okay He dates a he dates a couple girls before Julia Fox. They don't really get that much attention They did but but here's the thing once he started dating the Julia Fox girl dad exploded. So he's like, oh, okay So this is my girl now here for two weeks. Yeah, I'm gonna be here for a little bit because this is attention Oh, now I make fun of Pete and everybody goes crazy. That's the new thing for attention So I think what he really cares about is attention and he doesn't care who he hurts or destroys along the way You should watch the first part of his documentary The first part of his documentary is out already. Yeah, the first part is it's very interesting because it really does show Everybody fronted on Kanye and this is Kanye. This is Kanye after Producing for blueprint for Jay, you know what I mean? Like this is he's almost on his way to being super producer Kanye But he wants to rap. He knows that he has something to say and he's walking It's this one scene in particular where he's walking around the Rockefeller offices and he's getting people to listen to all falls down This is all falls down. Like this is it is just a record. We all grew to love, right? But nobody's paying him no attention. Like everybody's just like ignorant and you can see where oh That's what drives him. You know what I mean? So are you saying? that When you're a super producer and the people around you don't want to give you a microphone That you should keep pushing for it If you're good, if you're great Don't be like no Yoko ono Are you saying And take away your spot your opportunities and take away your microphones You should keep on pushing because you might be a genius, you know, it's so funny about stories like that and in theory, right? Yeah, you should keep going. But the reality is everybody's not Kanye. Oh Some of y'all need to quit if you need to be great if you're great fuck. Yeah, but you don't how do you know when you're great? He got cut in fucking high school, but then he goes and becomes the best player You can't believe yourself 180 you got to believe yourself full circle If you don't if you give up on your dream, yeah, I don't believe it was destined for you. Yeah, I believe Nobody can make you believe you can't yeah, that's 100% true. This is driven by God Yeah, yes, God won't allow you to give up. Get what everybody else saying what you're telling yourself back That's what matters. Yeah, it'll come to you. Yes, very work. Yeah Yeah, what's for you will not go by you is a is a Scottish thing my mom would always say, but that Yeah Yeah for us by us No, what's for you will not go by you but but yeah, 100% but also it requires it requires the work It requires the word and like in almost we were talking about this earlier, but the Like the manifestation thing is kind of interesting because You manifest something and then it happens, but part of manifestation is believing that like it's your destiny Yeah, yeah, and a lot of people talk about destiny and then you go. Oh, those people are crazy Yeah, you truly have to believe like you got to go. I am going to be the biggest fight in the UFC Yeah, 100% like before he was in the UFC It's not crazy like there's there's times when Like I had this beat up Honda back in the day my boys car when diamond moves to China I was driving it because I didn't have a car and it was a manual right stick shift So whenever I would change gear sometimes like this is how where my manifestation goes I would I would change the gears and I'll do this and I'll change the gear I'll do this and that was me like practicing having a sports car and I got a 720 s McLaren I call Kurama the nine-tailed demon Fox And that was me practicing and there was be times I'll do it for like a week straight And then there's times, you know, I'll just kind of fall by and then when I need to manifest that again And just get that going I'll just be back and they'll just became a habit it just became a habit driving like that and There's levels to it man you and so I'm looking me doing that and be like nuts like what the hell Why would you be no, but it creates the destination? It's the address for the GPS like I always tell motherfuckers like if you want If you wouldn't even believe you deserve something why should anybody give you For it like you got to believe not only do you deserve it like the world would have to stop spinning for you to not get there Yeah, that's a lot of people be like, what was your plan B coming up? That's what I love doing I love doing radio Having a bunch of fat woman having sex with him I get money I'm gonna wrap that isn't it funny like your delusion like that's the other thing that I also notice is like the things that you say that are delusional and people react to To it as if it's delusional like their belief in you Exponentially increases once those things become true. So when you say your dream to somebody in the beginning They're like what the fuck is this guy talking about but once you start checking off those boxes? Have you have you noticed like I don't respect people Yeah, but sometimes it's family, bro, like sometimes they don't you know, I mean like family can dig right Family can get this dick It's hard to respect people like that it's like yeah, it's easy to you know act like you believed once it's there Yeah, you know what I mean once they can see it you could have been helping me from the ground up So I'm to believe in your vision one thing I guess so my parents did not want the Nigerian parents Why you want to be a fighter for yeah, what you'd be a doctor? If you're not doctor or accountant Lawyer your failure. That's it. You know, but then I'm one of the first or the you know The first in from my country from my family to be able to be like I want to be a fighter My family my parents are like fuck no, but then they still supported me when I moved to Auckland They still supported me when I needed it So some people might not be able to see your vision But if they love you and they love you truly, they'll support you They'll support your vision and they'll make sure even your friends as well But as those that don't support you until you start to kind of like make headway Once my parents start to see them checks come in and they're like, oh Yeah, but they supported me regardless. It's funny man. I had someone tell me once recently that my my family only Only respect me or love me for my money. Hmm. I'm like What the fuck like the family exactly Yo before I was rich before I was a millionaire They were there even when they didn't believe in my vision They still supported me because they knew this is what this kid wanted to do and he wasn't going to take no for an answer I think a lot of times like uh Immigrant parents. Yeah want their kids to be, you know, doctor engineer lawyer these things. It's it's there's a security in it It's like they go, you know, we risk everything to come here Yeah, so you could have an opportunity. We just want you to be okay And that's also the thing they think of success. They don't know exactly even if you said something about tech They probably would be like, what the hell? Yeah But that but it's like they're just trying to be good parents Which is like providing safety for their children, right? They don't understand and then I think what happens is once they see that you're successful Well, they're like Now they they my mom took a big ass risk So she was kind of cool with me doing she like really pushed me But I listened to what akash like akash went through the same thing you went through But I understand their mentality It's like you want to look out for your kid You want your kid to have the best possible opportunity in this new place. Yeah, and then they go For me, I want to be a clown, you know for you. I want to be a boxy like what the fuck is that me? Yeah, I love nigerian. I love nigerian culture I've been having some conversations with uh people from nigeria and a lot of them say they had to let go of their Their nigerian mentality In order to be successful Wait, what do you mean by that? I guess that whole want to be a doctor The three or four job the idea of what they think success is and this is the thing I say about myself like I feel blessed Um to be able to dream because even the old job I had that I quit my job September 4th 2013. That was the the last time I worked A regular job and I never looked back next day. I was on a plane to china um that job Someone even from the impoverished places in america's someone from where i'm from That's poor and broke having a job like that would be a blessing Be a blessing and there'd be a I got this job being in new zealand or I got this job in america. I could send money back home all this kind of stuff but For me, I'm blessed and I used to I used to have a little this is back in the day years guy I used to be feel guilty about a little bit that I'm blessed to dream That I had bigger dreams than these people that I was like this. This is more. There's more than this for me This is more but for someone else. This is the dream number for me I was just like well, I'm blessed enough to have bigger dreams. So I have to actualize them. Yep. Yeah Yeah, that is a huge privilege. Everything I dream it my mom gave me that shit that comes from my parents, bro It's like this idea And my mom even my mom said it to me she's like if you reach to the stars you get to the moon You got to the moon think about what that is like that is to me I remember distinctly her telling me that what else we have Even if you're I went to an elementary school my buddy teaches elementary school in brooklyn I remember asking these kids And I was just like, uh, I was like, what are you or his middle school? I was like, what do you guys want want to be like? What are your dreams and they were terrified to even say it the kids and the kid and this girl said like Well, I'd love to be a Baker and some of the kids kind of like laugh or whatever and I was like don't laugh like Should you do that? You want to do that? She's like, yeah, but like how could I do that? And I'm like, does anybody else in this room want to be a baker and on a bakery? Nobody else raised their hands and I was like, if you don't do it, there won't be any more bakers We need you or nobody gets croissants anymore. You could be the next little Debbie. You had you a little Debbie. We'll talk. So it's like I think these kids like we've we've focused so much on teaching them like, you know Arithmetic and all this stuff in schools like these little motherfuckers a dream, man And teach them how attainable those dreams are what happened to us. I don't know how That's all we had was dreams back in the day This is a thing like a lot of people lose that as they get older Like for me, this is why I say like I said the shower is one of the most Magical places because you can I my imagination runs wild. Let's see that Penn State That dream Yeah But like I mean, you know Some people lose that when they get well, that's why we're in the position We're in because we were able to dream. Yeah, a lot of people lose that Yeah, you'd be surprised you'd be surprised how some people can't even think past the next week. Yeah, exactly This is like not this is right here. I've got the secure job. I'm gonna stay right here I'm gonna you know, I'm gonna settle down like you have to have I feel for myself. I could not I couldn't have settled down man like when I was working a summer job where my dad um Currently runs as an accountant. It's a tannery factory and I'd see old men like 65, you know 48 and they're working there the same job and then and they work there maybe like 20 years just to get one of these like and you at the end you get a gold watch Um after I think 16 years and sometimes they'll get close like 15 years and three months and then they'll lay them off And I felt Oh, they do that with the uh pension, right? No, we're your last catcher, bonus catcher We'll get a big payday the next season. Yeah, exactly. It's like right sounds. Yeah So for me, I was just like I was doing that job as a summer job And I remember like the same for me the same for me and then it was yeah, it was way too much man It takes confidence to dream. I think that's something that maybe we take for granted like, you know Used to it Yeah For whatever reason we have confidence like the bus sitting down right here Whether it was our parents fucking listening to us or loving us or whether we found it some other Mine is because of Judy bloom Judy bloom. Maybe she made you great awesome. Yeah When I was young I was reading behind every great black man. There's a strong white woman Just read all you there. God. It's me Margaret Turning into a movie that comes out this year actually But that confidence I think is what enables us to start dreaming because I think there's a lot of people who would love to dream But their their insecurities make those dreams seem ridiculous. No, who the fuck am I to deserve this? I think I think it's our jobless I think our trauma especially with Will meet with me for sure my traumas who have got me to go higher Somebody telling me no is what made me go higher all the things that I had I love this where you wax. I love this where you're speaking like you've you've really like Stepped into yourself. Yeah, but sometimes you get dirty. Yeah, you know what's going on Yeah All the bad things that happen to send me is what got me here right now all the time somebody told me yes It's really what fucked me up. I wonder about that though I wonder if those things really did Propel us are are there because there's plenty of people that come into our lives and told us the right things to do And how to do things and that has benefited us too. Why do we always give it to our traumas? It is a combination. It's like it is a combination, but I do think that that plays a role like Like shit the the other day my mom was Faze drunk stressed up and she was saying some wild shit to me right and I was just She doesn't care but like She doesn't mean these things, but she's like saying kind of fucked up to be a she's dealing with her stress And I'm taking them and I'm listening to this and I'm just like wow This is pretty cool that I'm like not that affected by these things and then I start to go Holy shit, maybe this is why I can deal with like internet scrutiny better than some because I've dealt with Oh, she was saying a wild shit as in like she was Yeah, she was kind of coming at me a little bit, but it's her own personal stuff that she's projecting And that's what your therapist will tell you your therapist will be like I have nothing to do with you. Yes. That's her Yes, good. Yeah, but like I think maybe our ability or my ability maybe to to be numb to those certain things I was like that's a maybe a trauma that turned out to be an advantage But even even sheep they get hit to go to the side if they was if they did I'm just saying Talking to a Scottish man about sheep They guide them with this stick, but if they don't if they don't get guided they never get hit They're still going the wrong direction. That's true. And I'm saying so. Thank god for mr. Walmart for me telling me I'm gonna beat the shit out of him. He talks to me like that again. I'm probably gonna be working at Walmart Everybody's mr. Walmart. Oh, that's the nickname. No, what's the Walmart? He came, you know around like holiday time mr. Walmart to come check all the stores And I used to work in the back and he told me to they told me to come to the furniture department I ain't know the fuck on those. He like, hey, sir. What's this? I supposed to tell him. Yeah, I don't know I'm saying like you're flying. Fuck you. So you want to beat somebody up because he was they asked you to do your job It wasn't my job. They just put me there to like fill in for the guy That means that was your job in that moment. Thank god. Mr. Walmart. I told y'all beat the shit out of you Who is mr. Walmart?

I'm gonna go with this Hold on the walton family. Hold on. Sam Walton died when 1992 When was I working at Walmart? Whoever he was that was the Walmart What are you talking about? No, I promise it was Mr. Walmart was the head general guy who should come there might have been one of the warrens their family I don't believe the story. They're not walking the fucking grounds. I don't know what he was He was going to the all the stores and he was like, you'll miss walmart. Everybody was all tightened up that day That's why I had to get somebody to have to fill in now. So who was it? Mr. McDonald's person a white guy You just assumed that they owned all the walmarts. That's racism the good kind They got me we brush his teeth that day. He was like, I'm gonna fuck with that black kid He's gonna be great one day.

They're backstage chopping it up and all that and then they put the mask on all them with their mask off You saw that picture. It's and it's also weird as well seen the contract. I was just in houston, texas, right Barely so many people wearing masks. I get here in new york Yeah, I was here a while out there But then here I come out here and I'm seeing the streets like man everyone's wearing masks I kind of go look that a little bit Because they still like on the on the door like, you know, please wear a mask or whatever. But for me I don't I'm a bit of a a rebel without a cause if you Sometimes so I just I don't I don't want to be programmed to just like straight just obey obey obey my shit is Like you still buy condoms They don't got covid What's the point of condoms?

I'm turning the cable That's what they call the players curse I used to call it the players curse now. I just look at it. That's it ain't a place. No, because you know the first toes out What You have said I think it's a blessing every time I have a new daughter like my life and my in the first time I ever had a daughter My my guy Why are you lying to your friends, bro?

Everything's gonna open up for you and he he was right I respect My life has just gotten better and better and better Man and a man and anybody because my father said you'll never become a man. Let's you have a daughter. So Lord have mercy. I ain't no man. Yeah, truth is jack thriller They got mad at jack thriller just because he was making jokes last night at the versus How you hire a comedian to host versus and then get mad at his jokes He told Anthony Hamilton, uh, he said he said he said bring your runaway slave looking ass out here Yes, and then he said how many negro spirituals you gonna sing I thought it was funny And by the way, I didn't even see it. Wait, who's mad at him? I guess the internet. That's a good That's a great That's right. Like if you tell me they and I say who and you say the internet I don't give a fuck Yeah, yo, we're gonna. I don't care no more. We're gonna make they so bad that trans people will stop identifying as that We should we should make a they because they No, but you know what I'm saying like they is the cause of all our problems Like they are trying to shut that broken like they are upset this but hey We need to make like a visual of they like a coward already told us that was haters. They was haters, bro What is it? Look, yeah, who was gonna look say it. You know what you're thinking. I know what you're thinking right now You know what I'm saying? What do they look like, bro? Don't do it You know what they think There's no need to even do it. All right, let's hit him with the hezzy So Ray made James Harden's outfit that he wore in Philly when he was sitting on the bench He makes other stuff too, bro. He makes some great other stuff the what the back skirt He makes other stuff. It's like a back skirt like a skirt in the back He looked like a m bison a cape. Oh M bison Who with Ben Simmons, yes, I'm watching I'm gonna be there tonight. Yeah, I'm gonna have a look and andry. Who's playing? Tonight At garden or at the Nets play. Okay. Good. Good. That's the next way tonight Hmm. Well, I mean, this comes out on Thursday, but That's the next way tonight. Okay, but how many how many of you guys are going? All of us, but I'll just be on the floor and then Yeah, we'll swap out. He's trying to see if you got room for him I have I was gonna offer tickets to a couple of guys. Oh for real. Yeah Oh Not crazy. We're just talking about this. I'm just with uh with the with the circle. I don't I don't roll crazy I don't roll too deep but I bring my people with me even flying to Um, new york, so I came from houston to new york, and I thought you know what let's get the pj on the pj Yeah, just have fun. You know, it was my baby sister's birthday And I wanted to give that experience to them, you know, so I like to Bring my people with me my people who I really I really fuck with so yeah, and that shit ain't cheap, bro Yeah You know connor connor connor talking about them pocket. Yeah, oh now he's got deep pocket I think he's number one and i'm number two highest paid ufc fighters. I think but it was your reaction was funny Which one you're like, I don't know nothing about that When connor connor said connor basically came out. It was like congratulations to izzy, you know, like in paradigm sports Oh, yeah one money and he goes he goes. Yeah, exactly And he goes he goes, you know, that's right me and izzy are the two highest paid athletes In the ufc and he's like, I don't know what money you talking about Don't come asking me for money I know what people's is like I know what it's going to be like when I get back to new zealand, so I'm just like man Oh people hitting you up like yo, what's up, bro? So I'm I stay broke Because it's interesting because people always talk about the ufc fighter pay and then izzy's just been like they pay him Yeah Jay Paul made it seem like the ufc fighters wasn't making no money. No, there's levels. There's levels I mean, but I even said it's the post-fight press conference. I'm like, look, he makes some valid points You know, he makes some really valid points. I'm like, yeah the day the debuting fighters the debutants They should be able to fight for the ufc pay their coaches the managers And not have a second or third job have enough to be able to just have a 12 week training camp without Without um getting another job because guess what rising tide lifts all ships if if The the quality of fighter pay goes up from those levels Yep, they're gonna be fighting much better for for the fact that they get they just get to train. Yeah, that's all they do Exactly. Yeah, so it's trust me it's good and I said It's this effects gonna trickle down because francis already started it with his You know disclosing of what's happening with the ufc, which was atrocious by the way And I think some egos got involved and it was just a little too much But it's gonna trickle down now They're gonna have a meeting with them and I know they're gonna I hope they come to an agreement because I feel like you know what the the ufc heavyweight champion of the world should Not be fighting for 600k and he's such a great ambassador. Yeah. Yeah, I know but that but that's because I feel like they made some mistakes and there was It's the stuff that I shouldn't be so he should talk about this because he knows better and some of my plays to speak But I just feel like mistakes were made on the ufc's part because guess what humans There's humans running the ufc Yeah, and also humans have ego and human errors a thing every person is watching this in like 600k I'll go get my ass Not by francis Also another thing you got to look at is like, I don't know and maybe I'm different because I look at things as opportunities And like I've done so much shit for free that I love doing now. It's different than getting your fucking ass potentially kicked But that that is like the highest stakes of everything but like I look at ufc and I'm like, you could turn this into bread Like you might get low money in your first contract, but if you're a star you get crazy sponsorships You get other opportunities start your own business like flex this opportunity because if you're good in ufc They're gonna put that marketing muscle in yeah that in the other fight sports. You don't see like I'm looking at these boxers I'm like only a handful of boxes are making literally like six seven boxes are making crazy money Because there's no promotional outlet for the other boxers If you're not signed To one of these major promotional companies even if you are they still got to sign the deal with another place I'm making a thousand so I'm gonna make three thousand. I can't think we're all making money can now like my first ufc Fight I made six figures and that was because I also got a bonus as well But I knew my worth going into the ufc. So my first ufc fight ufc 2 to 1 in Perth I made six figures Before the ufc, I planned all this shit out man. I I set myself up to win put it that way Could you could you give somebody else that game plan and they could follow it? Or I already have Literally just watch the way I've done things the way I handle my social media Even what I went to school for went went to college for a media design All that little stuff helped me farm my ins I've never bought followers It's never like you know try and boost posting the light. It's all organic And that's just because I knew how social media worked I knew how the currency of attention worked and even back in the day in china There's times I would make a post and I'm like fuck if I post this with this caption I'll look either I saw fuck Uh, and I struggle with like 20 minutes of posting and I was like, ah, it's done and I'll put the phone down It's done and that was me practicing not giving the fuck Practicing not caring even in china like little things in china like being a big black man in the rural parts of china being stared at That got me ready for the life. I live now when I'm being stared at famous famous life Like straight up like they'll I've had the longest reigning staring contest with all chinese people in the world Honestly, man, like And they're not like then it's not in the ruin like they'll just like look at you like Because you're marbling at you. Yeah marbling And then I'll back in the day used to get something like the fuck are they staring at and I'll just like Look at them as well But it was fun for me at some point But then I realized that sometimes and sometimes I'll break a smile and then they'll smile back But then sometimes just because they just like you said marbling at you like what the fuck is this big for Just walking around my town for You know, it's crazy, but it all got me ready for this even having a car like kudama my mclaren I only drive that car when I'm feeling good. There was one time. Oh Three or four months ago. I thought I was like it was a sunny day. I was like, you know I want some dropped up therapy Jumping it start driving and then I just thought I was feeling weird I only drive that car when I feel good when I feel like I'm in a good place because then I don't want to be stared at and then straight away I just put the roof up and then I just felt weird driving there because in at the lights, you know people looking at me And I just hate that feeling of just getting anxious and I was just like, oh, I want to go home And I just doubled back and went home. Yeah, you got to be feeling yourself Yeah, I want to drive a car where people are going to be staring the whole time. Yeah, it's all practice. It's all reps, man Never wanted that attention me. I don't like the attention all the time But there's times when I feel like you got a little more fucking no hells. Yes But you know, I get what you're saying though. I get why you feel that way But yeah, I might craft you have to well, that's the thing. It's currency Exactly. No, it's not breaking the jaws currency. No, it's not breaking the draw not like little things That's what I'm talking about like people to understand the level Of like the um how the cloud machine works And it's the thing I've done this so many times That it's just it's almost like reps now. I just know what to do. I know how to like you said I like what you said That was a fight with like I'm being serious I just knew how to when it's time when I want to make people notice me I'll make people notice me the guys. I like Kanye and album mode. Son real talk. I noted and there's a few guys that do it well Yeah, you do it. Well Connor does it well. There's a few guys where it's like literally fight week I was waiting for a few and it's like used to start maybe two or three weeks Now it's seven day now give me nothing to play with so I was just like, all right, you know Because like I said, I walked his ass already. So he was humble in the fact that he's nothing What's he gonna say to me? He was nothing to work with a guy like um, you know cost the example I like just gonna run his mouth exactly My inventory. I was like bet I've got so much to work with yeah, but I like that I like seeing the fighters go. Okay. It's fight week because that's what used to be Fight fight that we celebrate it's not like I like going into a fight almost and going I don't really care and then you convinced me 48 hours there out that I got to spend $75 on a pay-per-view Yeah, you got me. I'm here. I'm waiting It could be even like on the flight day like sometimes day of way ends There's certain things you can yeah I just literally move the needle to that like boom from 500,000 pay-per-view buys to a million That right push. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, even like I said the belt thing. I don't know if we're talking about it here We're cost the belt thing that Just trend that just works one crazy And because I think the pose I did at the end as well. I was just having fun So I just look like I said that little trolley skinny kid and this big bully getting angry like I'm right here come I'm here. I'm here So that I think they said it was one of the highest trending videos they've had and that's free marketing Wow, about 100 free marketing boy. You have to have a willing dance partner who knows How to push and pull and you can't fake the shape you try and fake it Like it doesn't work, you know, like I remember when DC and brook lesna had a UFC Fuck I remember and they went in the cage and they pushed him. I was just like, oh this is all manufacturing. Yeah, you can feel it I thought about that. I'm like are there ever fighters that go yo I'm gonna push you when we do the weigh-in. I'm gonna push you you push me Let's almost kind of scrap and then people stop. I've never done it You can tell when it looks fake though. Yeah, people feel it. It's ingenuous. You know, it is Even when it's something as simple as jake paul snatching off may wasn't had even though that was real But look at the commotion it caused. Yeah from that simple ass silly ass act. It wasn't a push. It wasn't a fight Yeah Would you fight jake paul? Would I fight jake paul? I don't box. I've boxed before but Yeah, I heard wax was gonna fight him. Yeah, I would love wax kid Seriously, he ain't one of those out of jake paul and wax jake paul and wax. I want to see wax box. I haven't seen him box He has no boxing skills whatsoever He's never been in the ring jake paul's no joke man, jake shullerman always do all these years. Yeah, he bait the shit out of motherfuckers I don't know what you're talking about. He doesn't know nothing. He has no boxing ability whatsoever jake paul's no joke man. I think this is the thing. So when I when he fought um, Nate Robinson I was there. I compensated the fight, right? And I hadn't I ended up at his house later on and I didn't realize how big of a fan he was and For me to to commentate that far. I had to study what he did from disney And that's what kind of made me know like, okay, this is what this kid's history is But then being at his house talking to him We talked for a long time and then I kind of realized man, this guy he's crazy And guess what those are the ones that get it done. Yeah, he was serious. Yeah I have a little crazy. All of us got a little crazy. He was serious about boxing Like because people with us are like, oh, he's just doing this for fun. He's just doing this to try and make money Or get you know, clout whatever but I was like, no, this guy really really And he's got all the funds all the access to be able to get it done. Yep. So full team So do you ever fight a real box if you're jake paul? He will at some point. He I know he'll want to test himself I want that fury fight. That's the one that's going to really really So I don't know yeah, tell me if you're Tommy. Yeah, I felt like that that was the one that was going to be like, right This is going to check where his real level of boxing is because that's all Tommy knows He just knows boxing distance. He just knows boxing defense. I think Tommy beats him Yeah, and I think that's a sellable fight very like very lucrative fight. They should do that later on That's why I think he's pushing it back. Yeah, I think jake purposely pushing it back and just keep Keep the work Tommy is in a real he'll come from a fighting family. Yeah Why do you think it's difficult for the ufc guys to transition to boxing? Even though they're working a lot of them not you work on so many different things on grappling on You know kicking and whatnot, but um Jake's picked the right fights. He's picked the right fights. Yeah, but not fighting boxes. Yeah Yeah, but like well and also the the level of Specialism, it's like saying a ufc guys. It should go fight our men may guys should go fight. Um Uh under gava will go to Ryan, you know, just in your jiu-jitsu They'll get smoked because that's all those guys do is straight jiu-jitsu So same thing. It's um if all you're doing is boxing, you're gonna get really good at that And like I said jace got all the access in the time and he's young. He's like 24 25 Of course, he's gonna get better. He's on and out like I said when I talked to him I realized he's fucking serious about this. He's no jockey man Yeah, why the hell hasn't logan paul got to pay for floy me? Whether you I don't that was weird to me Yeah, I wanted to see you know about those people of you pay out. Did they take that long? No, no, I don't take that long. So I don't know why When I heard that I was like, is he trolling him? Is he trying to? Yeah, I spoke to I spoke to logan about it like man, you're bullshit But did you know floyd said floyd responded? No, he said that it just takes time He said these checks don't you know come overnight. He was like, I'm you see He was like, I'm still getting royalties from maybe like seven eight years ago. Really? Royalties are replaced over and over That world is a replay now. This is Payout the flat payout because I mean you fought I was like maybe June The boy didn't knock him out. Yeah, that's what it is. I didn't knock you out and I'm gonna sun you this way Oh He thinks he's just making him wait But why is that why why is the money coming from floyd though, don't the money come from floyd? He's the he's the big he's the promoter. Floyd's the promoter. That's why so Yeah, I'm all surprised that that I was he did something grind me too Apparently they cut a deal with like I think katar and another place to stream the fight over there But didn't tell logan about it and logan is supposed to get a percentage of the person no matter what they sell I think he was doing subscribe and it's fucked up because that breaks my heart because you know, I floyd is my go Right like what you said, I think he's the greatest expert at anything became what he hated But he became the motherfuckers who were fucking him over Yeah, like he had to buy himself out of that bob aram contract and it's like don't become these guys 750 000 Floyd he also pulled the racism card too. Oh, no, we're a whole log and he said how long your people have been making us wait No I The reason I watched that one in particular because I really wanted to know why logan hadn't gotten paid yet I was like that is funny. I'm gonna pay him in 400 years Same amount of time took us to get paid Yeah Still wait for reparations. Yeah, but say logan's reparations No for me like except why I just fought in the weekend it wouldn't take Less than wouldn't take more than two months a month and a half if I get fully paid Pay-per-view you're gonna get your disclosed country people There's one thing I always I find funny from from the jump on my ufc five people see like oh, you only go pay this much for that Why I'm like, that's the disclosed pay. There's the undisclosed pay. Oh, what's that? Are you not a little sun? Well, that's the thing like people even the ufc, they know what I get paid But no one knows what I'm worth and I'm so happy I have like one of the smartest man with money behind me Like I've said this already like during interviews. I've said like, you know, um, Kabeep's dad was in his corner You know teaching him how to fight cornering him Jordan Stefan Curry The ball brothers, you know, the dad's in the corner. I've got my pops behind the scenes Showing me how this whole thing works. Oh money wise He's like he's a cpa. Yeah, he's an accountant. Yeah, so he knows how many words Yeah, so yeah, like he told me in christmas how much I'm worth now. I was like What he's like, yeah, I was like, oh shit. So that's why I was like, fuck I could have retired this many fights ago if this was just about money But no, I said, I'm really enjoying being in the stride of my prime right now. I've been enjoying what I do I just signed this new crazy deal. It hasn't even hit me yet. How because For ufc. Yeah for the ufc It hasn't hit me yet how monumental it is like I said, I'm now the second highest paid athlete in the ufc And who's first con is still con is still first. Yeah, of course, like my man's He ain't winning though. He ain't winning a man. But he's he's changed the game and he's got his Checks. Yeah, he cashed his checks puts asses in seats. That's it, you know, and we're from the same management team paradigm So they know what's being left on the table when it comes to these deals They know what's being left on the table. So they I'm glad now at the moment I'm getting a nice slice of the pie was kind of the guy before the Mayweather fight What do you mean? Oh, yeah, he was ready. He was he was popping. He was up. He was up. Yeah, okay From the jump, you just knew straight away this guy like a second ufc fight was against max hollow in boston I recall and he his fight felt like the main event. So he's always been up Yeah, he's just he's he's another guy who's just amazing. He knows how to and you know, you know, he don't win No, yeah, he did though and he did he did in like exciting fashion earlier in his career and Yeah, now he's not but we give it out. We give up. We give out a lot of participation trophies nowadays Yeah, participation. That's why I like people that still want to win. You still want to win. Yeah 100% I mean, I do this. Fuck money. I love money. No game around do this for the money But for me, it's about winning and just taking all right by the time I'm I'm I'm done with this game I want to be able to sit By my fireplace and just look around and see all the heads on the mantle pieces like I took that guy I took him out twice. I really fucked that guy up. Damn Who do you want now? Me. I've got Jack. Who's head do you want? Kenan here. Kenan here. Kenan here. Who else? Uh Strickland, I like the fact that he talks a lot. I feel like there's a guy who can build up the fight He might need another fight or two. What do you want fight one more? We've got an idea for what we want to do with him. But um, yeah, I hope he does well Yeah, you just you just pre-meditate. Are you gonna beat somebody? I try to set them up as well I've tried to set Jared up in the past, but then he lost the five try to set Darren sell up so many times Yeah, Darren keeps fumbling a bad. Exactly. And that'd be a fun one We always talk about that like on social media you guys building that fight But you gotta win at the end of the day Exactly if you don't if you're not winning you're not unless you get to that Like you said that corner stratosphere where you you've built such a big following such a big stock Of yourself that even if you don't win, you're still up What do you what do you think about the guy that everybody he keeps saying I'm gonna smash everybody Come come quad. Yeah Yeah, I'm Zot to my at the post five press they were like, oh another fighter who's not in your way class tweeted at you And I was just like, what does he fight at 170 170? So he does fight at 185 as well, but I'm like, was he fought at 185? I don't know who he's fought at all. You 185. Yeah. Well, I know not right now I cut to 185, but then I walk around like fight night. I was around one one nine two hundred Yeah, really? Yeah, how much you weigh right now sitting there? I'm a guess after all this chopping life texas barbecue 207 205 Yeah, you look lean as fuck skinny boy. Well, I'm muscle weighs more than fat. Yeah, absolutely I mean, yeah, so I mean, uh, so what do you think about him? Is he real? I respect like his last fight he he showed up He showed what's up the guy you fought Jin Aliang was is like a legit contender But his next fight guilty of a burns is a guy who will really test him But I think that might be a A harder fight for him that people think and also easier fight for him that people think burns for burns or for both Like that's the thing. I think comes up From what I'm hearing. He's really good. Well, I'm like, he's not even in my weight class So I got to pay this guy the attention right until he does something that makes me take notice that I'm like, okay Now I have to take him seriously. Yeah, the moment. It's just barking in the wind. Yeah It's like when the dog barks at the moon. It's normal when the moon Exactly wow, you know Hey, let's pay some bills man.

All right back to the show Um, I'll gotta salute Kodak black man legend Kodak black. He bought me so much joy this week watching that bar stool. God damn Yo, shout out to Kayla Presley, man. This guy's hilarious. You need to Let's let's make that Both of y'all need to go think I'm neither one of us are gonna hang this Kodak black That might be true, but he's just funny man. I think that's another guy who's just uniquely himself Like yes, I don't know my brother likes his music and stuff like that But I just see him all the time on social media. Just doing like he's just a walking meme Let me drive the boat. I He got shot this weekend My name is Kodak black, but when you see me, I'm white Y'all gonna stop fronting on yak Yeah, he's a legend. Anyway, this guy's great and he can't listen say what y'all want I listen to Kodak black music Kodak black makes incredible music. I would go so far as to say But I don't even know what generation you say it but say it when it comes to songwriting Songwriting hookwriting ability. I don't think there's nobody better. What did you all say who did Duval compare him to? Well, I'm not gonna go that far What'd he say? Well, I get what Duval was saying. No people gave Duval a lot of flak No Duval was like Kodak raps his bed as good as Kendrick Lamar. Oh, wow. You know what I mean? No, Kodak said he's I can't sit. He's this generation's pock. I don't know. I'm not He said he's this generation's Beyonce. I agree with that. I think that he's Beyonce I mean look at those dance moves on basketball. He got some dance moves He does I get what Duval was saying all Duval was trying to say in a Florida way Was that Kodak black? He really really yes the pedestal. He's on that's it He was just saying he was just simply saying Kodak black can really really rap and Kodak black can really really rap And he makes really really great songs. I love super gremlin. You know her that's on. No, I probably heard my brother Riding around in jack-in-cars Now it's not safe for you Because you switch like a pussy little bitch That's hard He gave book at Bar Mitzvahs. That's how you know he's nice. Man shut up How do you even know it? I've been singing that song wrong all foot since it's been out. I thought he said riding around in fancy cars What is it? Riding around in jack-in-cars If you listen to this song, he sounds so hurt that him and his homeboy not doing crimes together no more And who's this homeboy he's talking about. I don't know Is that the other guy from florida that he's kind of like beef? It might be Is it at this record? I don't know But if there's one part of the song he was like I've been raising my children and then he goes You ain't helped me with none of them children's Man contrast When he sounded so hurt man, we could have been superstars riding around jack-in-cars. Yeah, that's fire Like yo, big. Yo, super gremlin is hard. I just I really appreciate kodak black's music man. He's a steak for us He's dope So what do you think happens with a kodak black kodak? It's gonna be a moment where kodak black is going to absolutely be the biggest rapper in the world Whoa, it's gonna be a moment It's gonna be a moment I know I'm getting old because I start to like, you know, when you look at these rappers coming up now And like I said, I can't even speak on it because I don't know his music like that But then my brother is always bumping like trap drill And then I realize I'm like, I'm starting to be like one of them old heads like, ah Yeah, what are these kids? I I catch myself 43. Yeah, but I catch myself and these times I fuck with certain people from this generation Raps for certain songs, but I catch myself. I'm like, you know what? This is their moment. This is their music. Let them enjoy it I grew up in the south so Stuff like kodak black, you know, 21 all that stuff. Shit. I like It still resonates with you I grew up on trick daddy. I grew up on three six and you know, little john Tip and you know, I grew up on all that stuff Scarface The ghetto boys ugk like I love that's I like I like down something I listen to now I'm listening to gospel Stop lying. Why lie like that for no reason. I believe my shit is gospel music right now You don't listen to anything besides gospel. What about at those bar mitzvahs that you're frequent? I played at a bar mitzvah before I did though, you know what that really is. All right. What else we got? Uh, the Super Bowl happened. Did we care? Yo, did Yo, did y'all think uh halftime show is that great five? Yep, I liked it five. I think I didn't see it in a line There was moments. I felt like it was just nostalgia. Nostalgia. Yes. Yeah, it was nostalgic The bit with 50 cent pulled underneath even the fact the way he handled just the memes. Oh, yeah 50s funny That's how you know 50 funny. I love the fact that he just tags, you know, the the cognac and the his shows underneath It's all marketing. He understands how marketing this whole thing works. He totally gets it. Yeah, I loved it But once again, I'm 43. Yeah, so when I'm looking at that stage, I'm looking at it like That is that's dr. Dre And snoop dog. Yeah, that's that's my daddy made me cut my hair because yeah I thought I was snoop and snoop had a murder charge. Yeah, you know what I mean? That's Mary Jane fucking blouse You know what I mean? Like that's that's that's us looking at the real love video like damn She bad, you know what I mean? And this they're on the Super Bowl halftime show like oh man, this is a genre of music that See Dolores Tuckett and was throwing the CDs on the ground like those artists in particular snoop and Dre and running They shit over saying how bad they were that you like about children Um, I just thought it was fine. Everybody was like, oh my god. This is the most amazing Super Bowl ever It's always recently biased. That's a thing Yeah, I wasn't a big fan of the set Beyonce's was better Bruno Mars was better That's that's that's ridiculous to even compare them because it's two different types of artists. First of all, Beyonce talking about the best That we have to compare Beyonce's a performing artist. Yeah, so of course her show was going to be bigger. She's dancing He was krip walking No, yeah, he was krip walking that you had a Kodak not Kodak Kendrick had had the choreography talking about the production The way that's a simple question when Eminem took a knee there was performance Yeah Was that not corny a little it was forced, right? I don't even I missed it I saw the knee but I didn't get the the correlation till I saw social media shade when I was like, oh, I get it I'm not mad at it because he got what he wanted out of it. Yep. Oh 50 hilarious. No, no, no My man lagging He got what he wanted out of it, you know me And by the way, it feeds into Eminem's persona and I'm gonna tell you what it was genius about I'll tell you what was genius about it Prior to the show they leaked that the nfl did not want him to knee Oh, so they leaked the story and I saw that story the story was nfl tells eminem He can't kneel So when he did it immediately social media goes crazy like like they was going to tell eminem what to do That's the eminem and that's the rest But now you're doing it for the headline not for the cause Who's saying he's not doing it for the cause? Now you're doing it to be a rebel not because you support the thing and I don't know what his intentions are But like I don't know just felt forced bruh. I was like Are you allowed to talk about eminem like that? Yo, it's cap, bro, that's right Hey, I'm with Minute marker, but listen, I like you is cap when did you ever see when when when when have you seen hip hop that big? No, no long while Yeah, that's been a long time. I'm talking about, you know on on television. I can't think of a time It was moments through all that where I was just like, oh, and you hear that track playing and drej jumps on the piano And The piano thing was great. Yo snoop is the main Snoop is under appreciated. I can't believe like smoke everywhere. No, no snoop is under I think we don't appreciate snoop enough. I agree And I can tell you why we don't appreciate Because he's he's he's so regular Yeah, he's so relatable. He's so humble. That's uncle. That's right. He's so Humble, we don't appreciate him because he don't even put himself on that pedestal. But he's royalty Yo, you name me any person. I'm not talking about rapper. I'm not talking about black I'm not talking about white. I'm talking about any person ever that don't know snoop That also but who's consistently been themselves since day and smoking everywhere. That's what I like Nope snoop has never conformed to anyone and everyone is gonna see how they were all in black And it's like, oh, you know, we're gonna have this for the uniform and it's like, yo, nah Yeah Dripping like I've never seen it. I've never seen an individual Like snoop that literally shows up as himself Everywhere. I wonder if he do that at tdj's church. I wonder if he's smoking He's smoking there. It's the burning bush After being there blowing it down. Yeah, he's just such a unique individual. He's so talented Even when he wraps it's snoop and only snoop. Nobody else even really wraps like that when he talks, man When I was at the the fight commentating with him That's right. You guys did the fight. Yeah. Yeah, I had the pleasure of having the joint with him in the Sweets and just the way he talks as cadence. It's like he's always in that flow. Yeah, he's just so cool Uh, yeah, you get drug tested but like this is before the you know, like this is just oh, so you can't smoke Threshold is higher now Before fight you just kind of be like say hi on fight day. Got you, you know, if not, then yeah, they snap you and find you for that I loved everything about it. I thought drean snoop delivered. They didn't play it safe at all. Yeah Um, I thought kindred delivered. He didn't play it safe. I I literally told glasm alone I said I want kindred to I want him to perform good kid match And and I want him to perform I and and glasses thought he would perform some other records just because they're higher charting But he went for the cultural anthems And that shit worked, you know what I mean? I love mary. I no more pain. I was like, that's an interesting song choice, but She fell out at the end Like that was a perfect song to do that because that's what became a meme her taking a nap Yeah, that's a suitable halftime show Like I loved it 50 coming out hanging down like that. She was perfect. I don't know, you know It was a great show. Yeah Nostalgic nostalgic that she was I don't know what y'all wanted. I was like, what does she want it? What you want it? Maybe um, I would add it one thing Okay, go. I have an idea too, but I would add an ice cube coming out in the beginning saying straight out of Compton A crazy mother fucking name. No point. You're not even from this air A crazy mother fucking name ice cube with a stupid duck Like because I would have scared people right because that's oh shit Right, and then that's that's true a surprise A surprise announced to these other people but then have a surprise what I would have liked is If there was some form of like collaboration between all of them So, you know what I mean? Like a song that all right M&M's singing this person's verse and snoop maybe is on the song That's collaboration with Drado Dray was the unifier I want to see them all together, you know what I mean? Like and mary could sing the chorus of it But like imagine there is this iconic song that now they're all take I love the fact that anderson pack was playing the drums Like I was like, okay, let's connect all these people like that's all drado Like all all of that is dray anderson packs is dray 50 is dray mary did aftermath. Yeah, it's all aftermath 50 Dray did a Dancery for mary like m's is all it's like all of that is dray drays the greatest hip-hop producer and Top five musical producer of all time somebody said this they're like, uh, this is proof Maybe it was you. Well, we'll talk about that Uh, he said, uh, maybe this is proof this is proof that nobody could see dr. Dray in a verse Nobody I even jameen jp or I don't get it If you're talking about Timberland No, I don't think it's great. No titty. No titty. Diddy No, it's not even close All of these people are great and they got records that we would love to hear But when you hear them compared to drays joints, it'd be like, yeah, I come on because think about when you come with No No Because when you go on against dray, you go on against snoop Eminem 56 Giants the game you got two pop records. You got dog town records Hey, by the way, by the way, we're not even talking about the nwa era. Yeah, forget it. You know what I'm saying Like come on. Like what are we talking about? There's no Better hip-hop producer than dr. Dr. And guess what? I think did he might be better in r&b Yeah, but Do you really want to hear that against these dray gangsta west most rap tunes he gonna play Does j produce it all of that who jz? No, I just raps He wrote still he wrote the only one that could fuck with dray Is yay Yes, I don't think so. Yeah Yeah, yeah, I don't think so. Yeah, and low key and low key and I'm not a Kanye Celebrator by any means If it's just production we're talking about I think yay. Got him, bro The only reason I don't think so is because when you're talking about it, you know, the chronic is 30 years old Think about it The chronicle slaps when you hear this piano Yeah, that's it, bro Yo, you want to know so crazy about that piano? There's this there's this little video going around of this kid who plays it in his high school for a talent show Have you seen the gymnasium those kids? They still know weren't even born when that shit came out, but they go crazy. Yeah, that's different That's what is Kanye doing drape plays in a juice? Oh He's doing drape plays a g thing. Oh What is he doing? He plays drape plays nwa. Fuck the police. Give it up for god Certain people are just different and we got to respect them for being different And I know it's fun to do the verses and everything certain people you just leave alone It's me dr. Dr. Drey's one of those ones you leave alone now If you want to do it just to do it and you do drape if drape verses, did he probably be the closest thing I'll shake it this head right now talk to me if the younger generation is listening to that verses They're going to say Kanye once Tell me these records to your point. These are timeless records, bro Like these got these they know snoop dogs records They know too All the ones that you listen to just now, but only a couple Yo, M&M is still M&M has still been top five streamed artists of the last decade M&M That's dr. Drey I don't say like Drey Drey's different different People were arguing online about what what generation that was kids like we know them. That's all shit too. Yeah Yeah, that is different Drey's different. He's different. I love Kanye Drey's different Different different animal. There's also art as well art subjective. So What is the beauties in the eye of the beholder the ears of the beholder? So Yeah, just depends who's watching it Wherever they have the verses whoever's watching it whatever the crowd predominantly is My lean one way or the other. Yeah, I hear I hear I think that's kind of what I was saying too Which is like these kids they just might not have that connection To Drey they can't relate to But our generation is and it is interesting because we lived through both So I'm wondering like if we're watching We know the history as well and like you said 30 years the chronic You know like the meaning of what that actually means for it to last this long And still that's real stand the test of time because those were the memes online During the Super Bowl was all the little kids were falling asleep during the halftime and all our generation was turning up Really? Yeah. Oh, I didn't know that And also too, why does Drey need to cater to those little kids? Nah, yeah Yeah, you know why he there like little kids be little kids like why I don't even know why we do that anymore Like let the young demo be the young demo. Yeah, because they're not even in today's shit like they think they are The shit they love now they won't love 10 years from that The only thing we got in common let's do a couple asking idiots and get up out of here, man What we got what we got Okay Oh, this is the good one. This is for you easy What are your toxic traits? Toxic traits. What's a toxic trait? I have I put something on my story recently from Jordan Peterson Um, and I thought it was pretty powerful. I learned this A while ago something about be a monster. You know, there's a quote. Um, it's better to be Uh, a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war So he I think so what do you say he said I should I play it? So my story that's interesting seconds. Yeah, so you think stand by I don't have to be yeah. Yeah. What was he saying? You have to be a um Because what of the war? What if we need food? Turn this up on it can grow food Wait for it. You should be a monster You know, because everyone says well, you should be harmless Virtuous, you shouldn't do anyone any harm. You should sheath your competitive instinct. You shouldn't try to win You know, you you don't want to be too aggressive. You don't want to be too assertive You want to take a backseat and all of that? It's like no Wrong You should be a monster an absolute monster and then you should learn how to control it control it. Yes Always stay dangerous. Yeah stay dangerous All my younger brothers all the time. I mean my nephews. I'm like, I'll be safe. I'm like, yeah, I'll be dangerous Just know how to control. Yes. You know what I'm saying? And because that is how you can be the most compassionate individual You're gonna be smart. Hope exactly if you're terrified all day You're gonna act terrified. Yeah, and then you're gonna probably treat people your last People like shit because you're gonna be protecting yourself if you know, you're safe And all these people are in danger if you get upset you're probably gonna be nice to every single one of them Life for real because I always say I never mind the guy who carried the gun around all the time Because the guy who take had that gun one day. You know, I'm terrified He has a purpose for it that Right like every day me worrying about you Walk like a giant, you know, I mean you can look down and you see everybody. So you got to be gentle Well, yeah, it's not really a toxic trait, but I'd say like, um, like you said just being able to control it So, yeah, uh when I was younger, I had mad anger issues But then I had to learn as I go older like maybe like late teens that okay, you need to learn how to like Not let people get to you so much and learn how to control Like now even I'm so good now to the point where and I will you know, it's all it's all I will refer back But then I bring myself back to the balance Not picking things up So why do I give a fuck what joe blow over there said that's right or tight? I don't even pick it up sometimes during fight week I like static cuz you know, I'm in that mode. I'm kind of like in that that warm mode So I like to like pick things up and then fuck with people But most times some of my say shit about me like I don't even want to talk about fighting a lot a lot this week because now I'm going to fight. I'm like I've been in that mode You can't you can't redline it too long because then you'll wear yourself out Yeah So I just want to like I take the foot off the gas and just you know kick it shoot the shit So that's why I like interviews like this because it's like it's not just like so How do you feel about the fight? What do you think about it's like a little bit of that, you know, because that's what I do This is why I'm here. But then yeah, I'd rather just like get away from all that check out. Yeah My I just I'm gonna kick your ass for free I get played bags bags bags to kick ass. So why would I kick my knockouts alone might be 50,000 as a bonus So all that while that works on is asked for free So people not lately not lately, but I've had that in the past and I'm like, I hope you ask for free I say don't start about Mike Tyson people would run up on Mike knock you out Mike People try people The thing I hate I don't I don't just there like people want to take a photo. Can we do a stare down? I did one one time with this guy He's bartender You know gets in my face and then we're staring down and then he really switches it on and I see it in his eyes like he Oh, nothing was going to do anything But like he like because he the taekwondo or something he was good But he switches it on like he gets in my face and kind of like head butts me a little bit And then I remember I smacked his dick Just take the I was gonna grab it, but I was like boom That's why I don't do stares down anymore because I was just like I was fucked up like why the fuck because I wasn't expecting that From a bartender who was serving me. He's like can I get a photo? I'm a big fan and then stairs down squares me off and then like he just like puts us down Down comes up close and nods me and I was like what the fuck boom and I really just checked him so quick I was gonna grab it, but he's lucky. Uh-huh. Well, he wasn't expecting that It's kind of like what season rely dose to the dogs like snap him out of it. Yeah Yeah, that was and since then I'm just I do that with a little pat on the chest. Yeah By the way, please don't be the bartender that tweaked out. I was the guy who's Let's get another one, um Alex give us one more What advice would you get someone who seems to have all except a significant other? Oh, that's a good one Braden 71 2 says, how do you differentiate your own anxiety from reality? Yes, all right my way, um, let me give an example a recent example my own anxiety from reality uh Okay, so we were through this lockdown in In Auckland from august for like three months something crazy and then Like I said through all that, you know when you're locked down It's it's isolation. This is how you this is what they do the prisoners What do you do the prisoners when they behave you you isolate that so I'm blessed that I had, you know One of my best friends chance you lives with me, you know We picked each other up when we were down and stuff But then I went through some shit that kind of made me question myself because I was listening to the noise That's why I say fuck the noise I'll listen to the noise of some other people that was disturbing me and then it wasn't until And when it starts to get in your head sometimes you might start to believe it and like am I this way? Is that true about me? But then surround yourself with your real ones For me that was one thing that really helped me surround yourself with the real ones who just but people who've known you for years They're like, you're not you're not like that. Fuck all that noise. Don't listen to that, bitch So it's like, yeah, you just have to like be able to understand How to how to how to surround yourself with the real ones and understand who you are and trust that And then you know stand ten toes deep Ten toes deep in your truth Yeah, that's the tricky thing is that once you acknowledge that you're you have anxiety Yeah, everyone does it's a spectrum. Look yo, it's hard to say like you need it for life physical health If you don't look after your physical body, what's gonna happen? You're gonna get physically ill. You're gonna get sick If you don't look after your mental health, you're gonna get mentally ill So that even the way people use the term. Oh, he's got mental health. I'm like everyone has mental health Yeah, like it's not mental health. It's not the sickness. Yes, you do. I mean, yes, you do everyone gets anxious Unless anxiety is claustrophobia. That's part of it. Yeah, you get anxious. All right. That's it. Yeah You got on the anxiety. I mean a rat. Yeah, that's oh, yeah rats. Oh, that's a phobia. Yeah, that's the anxiety I don't I don't maybe a thought of a rat being around might give you anxiety if you saw a rat scurry right now If I see it, then I wow, then you just feel like rats all day on peace. Yeah Yeah, it can't give anxiety though. I just the anxiety is a feeling a feeling of being anxious Being on edge You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean the crazy thing about anxiety too is like if you're one of those people who you Believe your thoughts become things. Yeah, like when you're sitting around thinking all the Thoughts you think you're manifesting this negativity and that should make sure your anxiety even more crazy as it happens I mean, yeah, I mean, I guess the biggest thing when it comes to Separating anxiety from what's real is just realizing that's your anxiety. It's like when you're high Yep, and you're telling yourself like, okay, I'm just high. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah That's it. Okay. That's just I'm having a panic attack. Relax Brown yourself. I like to like this is I've had One of my bad ones was maybe uh over two years ago and I remember just Being out the car and I just I was bare feet and I just held the ground Oh, I love that held the ground and just like hand on the ground is breathing because it was real dark shit I was going through So I held the ground and I just breathe Breathe breathe and eventually I just realized okay. It's okay. I'm just having either a panic attack I thought I was possessed. I was like Bad here like I'd never done anything like you ever do you I use it for fuel Fuel Anxiousness can use us fuel but at the right so before fights, right? There's waves. I've learned how to butterflies. Yeah butterflies. It's all it's all energy So I just breathe through like some people like won't sleep the night before they fight They'll literally be in bed just like I said this before the Whitaker fight the first Whitaker fight I was like I was looking at my entrance on my phone that the rehearsal is just like man This is gonna look so fucking sick. This is me the night before the fight So I did not have paralysis over analysis and I bet you Rob because he was feeling the pressure I knew this and I told him you couldn't sleep He was just in bed cost it couldn't sleep. He drank some wine and go drunk before the fight So it's like yeah, but it can't it can't be detrimental to you like like fire Like I said it can be used to fuel you or burn your whole shit down So depends on how you want to use it So I do get anxious before fights But I just breathe through it and I don't hold on to it like whatever Whatever self-talk that's negative to my pop pop through. I just I'm not attached to it And that anxiety like that don't bother me because you know what you're about to do You're about to go in the ring and fight in front of millions of people you're fighting So having anxiety in that moment makes sense. I was about to walk out on stage We know we're gonna have that it's the it's the not doing anything anxiety that drives you fucking crazy That's when it's like okay. It's something that you haven't dealt with sometimes when you smoke when I smoke then You know you get Stuff up to the surface. That's why people say like I had a bad trip. I don't do I'm like, uh, what happened was you just saw some stuff That's deep down in there. That's why I like you're not Yeah, but that's bad Sometimes I'll be on a plane and I'll just be lying down and I might have had like one or two edible Oh, fuck this one time. Okay years ago. This is um after the brunson. What's called us? This is the madison square garden Press conference. I'm flying back to use on the right and I buy this brownie That had 500 mg of weed So I thought yeah, but I thought like, you know, I was gonna get the thousand the blackout brownie But I was like, I'll get the gorilla green and I didn't have it then I just um took it back home and I had a quarter of it one time when I was lying in bed at home So maybe a week later and I remember lying in bed and I could feel Everything this is like also when you eat it you get it's way more psychoactive than body So then I was just like feeling my blood pulsing feeling my heart racing at one point I was like, yeah And I started like just think of all these things and things that could happen things that made me scared and I was just like, man I need to Need to go outside. I need to take my shirt off and just you know, I felt like I was a werewolf. I was gonna I'm scared of mushrooms, man But then what I did was just hop in the shower and just turn the water on cold and just chill And I started to pray and I was just like Yo, amen Me again I just had a conversation with God That's why I'm scared of mushrooms. It's like the actual walkie is I wasta. I'm definitely gonna walkie. I can't wait I can't wait. What did you call it? Aqa walkie. That's the variant. That's a variant. That's a fucking When you do that, I was close Do face down ass up What what when you ground next time you're gonna take your shirt off or facing the ground Yes, lay on your stomach gotta be up though But that's a smoother yari yari yari yari might take your purpose because that's what she calls it to be funny But you put the face down ass up or just lie down on the ground lay down on your stomach Oh, true and with your ass in the air and just lay there put your cheek on the ground as shit No, man, I'm just asking shirtless yari got a camera in your backyard All her friends come over and you're like watch this dumbass go hug a tree.
