oh the dad dad had it fancy because your parents split up they split up God bless they should why would they stick together especially if you knew them what a mess those a m the funny thing about parents who split as you age is you look back and you go like how yeah how yeah what kind of dog [ __ ] decision did you with both of you you're like look I like each yeah what did you see in her my guy knowing you yeah like now that I know you as like a man what did you like about like 28y old Eve Johnson she's a maniac like my mom you like it his my dad's nickname was Croco as in croca [ __ ] really yeah a big mustache CCO man he'll sell you he'll sell you [ __ ] talks like this you it's like so what what did you like about this like little Jewish salesman but imagine what did she like uh I think you know at least for that my my father he' passed was very Charming smooth true salesman and I don't know if you're similar to this but the feeling of Chicago I love salespeople yeah they're great I love negotiating yeah uh I don't find it dirty I find it fantastic I love when somebody goes how much for that and you go like that's eight bucks and they go for a bottle of sparkling water you go like this what are you thinking I mean the Cap's been open that's not even straight there's stuff all over the front yeah I don't know I could if you true that into I'll give you 10 for both and you go like you're the best that is inherently a Chicago thing and deing always well so my parents same thing uh my dad you had a lot of trouble with uh with drugs spent most of my childhood in prison my parents they split when I was one mine were two my dad was drugs and alcohol hey hey what was the drug of choice cocaine baby L Co so he would drink when were you born what year are you I'm 83 okay some 7 so 80s yeah 80s what a funny we had the same childhood on two different parts of Chicago I mean Austin 40% yeah yeah most of the kids there that was everybody there but the whole Hustler thing is any that's what I grew up with I've talked about him on the show but my grandfather his dad to the day he died worked at the Maywood dog track great worked at Arlington half of the time and then worked for people that don't know the Arlington is a famous racetrack in Chicago in the suburbs and I mean just outside the city and May wood was a greyhound a literal greyhound racing track and there goes the rabbit and I'd be there at like 6 years old with like cigarettes in my face but he was a hustler he used to um he used to go down to the he used to go down on the west side and go to like these textile factories and he'd get rubber mats and he'd hand cut them with he'd bring a blade he'd knew a guy who'd let him in he'd paid him off he'd hand cut rubber he'd go to a restaurant he'd walk right into the kitchen no [ __ ] and be like where's the manager and they're like what a king and they're like I don't I don't know maybe he's he's like these mats are way way past D you know you'll get written up by the city for that so he would take him out I got something for you if you want it yeah and then he'd go you go 50 of man one two three four you know I'll cut you look I'll break you off you know tell your budy you know anybody else in the neighborhood let me flip him M and they would do it it's like he he had no power but he made it no Authority but he made it happened my Uncle Eddie used to do neon signs I had a year where I dropped out of school and I worked with him he had legal trouble so he came and he would the the neon sign guy but he would make neon signs but I would watch him do it we'd go up and down uh Clark Street in Chicago he would we would walk into a sh store blind blind he go who runs this place and he go like this store I do and my uncle would go like you got a great [ __ ] store but the shine's trash it's trash the guy would be like okay man and I'll be sitting there like a little dork could 50 being like you can't say this to a stranger yeah we would leave the guy would have given him 300 bucks to start we're doing a $1,500 sign the signs were trash even when I walk in I see that W I'm like beautiful sign the signs me and this [ __ ] man hung up was the beginning of me being like life is trash you know you always hope like I'm gonna be part of greatness I'm part of the good team and then it's your own hands and you're like I'm a garbage person created garbage there were many times we had to run back to his truck and I was like did he make the signs he made the signs in my mother's Garage in the suburbs then we would hang them together right because he got really into like blowing up but it was that same thing you're talking about like he created a hustle quick question transition not trying to get too heavy but uh in instantly connecting you with this how much of that hustle do you feel like is in our business in our business yes oh it's funny I think I think guys there's a certain kind of guy look I'm not going to include you in this I don't know you well enough I'm probably going to be in it but I know what I look like yeah yeah yeah and I didn't move out here because I was the hottest guy in school yeah what are we talking about look at the profile baby so for me it was like you I needed that for this game so I feel like the most successful guys that I know guys and girls who aren't just traditionally stunning they're the exact same thing so that's what you got from that my dad was the same thing my dad was a contractor uh and only exclusively worked on the south and the West Side Lov it cuz none of the other guys didn't want to work in a Black Market they were like [ __ ] that I'm not going down to the black neighborhood car dealership on the south side in the black neighborhood anybody who had the balls to be like I'll be the white guy in that thing CU there's great money he had great relationships yeah and they need they also need those services so all these other guys like I'm not going down to the [ __ ] Southside that's nuts but he would and all of the stuff I saw with him was that was the greatest part when you say with your dad we have the same dad the thing my mom liked about him I know was that he could [ __ ] convinced the person having the worst day that it's all right that you he'll have a he'd have a quip he'd have like a li he'd have like something and flip their mind and be like so my dad did something he wasn't in my siblings in my life until I he got sober when I was about 18 and so my older brother my older sibling were pretty cool and they forgave him pretty fast and I just kind of thought like I got a lot of [ __ ] Spite and I like spite yeah spite kind of nice so I was like ah [ __ ] you man and he just kept pushing and it was fake but he just turned into a fan so not just of the work of everything he' go like look at that hat on your head now that's a good-looking guy and you'd be like stop it you're complimenting everybody Croco people see through it he would call grown men baby face if you went to a valet my brother and I would say like do it do it he'd be like no problem and he'll go hey sweetheart hey baby face I'm looking for easy in Easy out on this all I got is 20 bucks and You' have these like super tough black guys going like you want easyy in and my dad would go come on baby face get us out of here he would but my dad just leaned into this idea of being a fan of everyone yeah and it worked ited I would feel myself being like I just like this [ __ ] guy and I'm like so going back to what my mom saw in him was she probably did not think the boots and the drugs were going to win right she thought the charm was going to win and she bet wrong yeah it's a bad bet it's a bad but it's hard not to bet on charm well because if especially if it's like that where baby face to like a a grown adult male but it working it's the same as my Dad we'd go to breakfast spots we'd go to we he used to take me he used to love to go to uh uh uh the Golden Nugget love to go to the Nugget and he he he'd walk in and immediately you say hi Richie you know these these slly older women you go God you look beautiful and they're they're immediately like come you know they think that they're by the way they here's what I'm starting to realize they all know the game but they like it they love the game it'll be like look at you you beautiful woman and she'll go like this she knows she's walking around at 250 but on the wrong side of 65 with real ups and downs with drugs you can see in the teeth you know what I mean where you're like well whatever's left whatever but the way she'll move then I'd be like man this is a fun vibe I got to tell you my brother and I have started playfully experimenting with the game and so when he's an everyday call like he's he's my guy but when I'm like all right man I'm pulling in he'll go do it and you go in you go like hey I'm just gonna go in and out and you'll he'll you'll hear like all right man 20 I'm like thanks so much baby face when it goes sideways It's the funniest thing that happens between you in one person and a silent person on the phone cuz the guy will go yeah 20 and I'll be like all right man thanks baby face like sideways sideways a more and then hearing him pull it off where he'll be like okay sweet how I'm looking for that and you'll hear like okay I guess and you're like o no point no but it's worth the shot yeah it's worth it out here your brother no Chicago he's back home yeah and when it works though and it has worked a few times yeah where I'm like I just called a grown man baby face baby face goodlooking uhhuh and the vibe was a sweetness back yeah because they because I think everybody's doing their best to not let all their [ __ ] yeah come out so when you do a little trickster nonsense they're like okay all right this is all right in the day is not bad between you and me we got two minutes of niceness yeah and when you enter that with a stranger yeah and you get to go it's just you and me and this thing let's just have a little bit of fun yeah it's going to be over soon anyway let's just enjoy this because so many people I've realized are such pieces of [ __ ] to each other and like it yeah uh my mother was that way my mother was one of those people that she would look forward to people being in our seats she would look forward to conflict she loved when she got if we were at like arest they're in our [ __ ] seats but she but she truly liked it yeah that's I don't I'm not like that I'm not like that and you you know there's people who like will talk about liking it but they don't like it they like the show of it because that makes you seem tough right but they don't like it they've just been abused and they have anger issues but you don't like it no my mother likes it she gets like a charge of like oh the whole night's worth it so she would never call someone baby face if anything she might with her eyes just be like hi $20 yeah [ __ ] you [ __ ] you [ __ ] you [ __ ] you [ __ ] you say something mean her dad the other side of Chicago was my grandfather her dad was named mean Eddie and mean Eddie was a little 5 foot4 Irish guy yeah and as me all the stories as mean as it gets owned uh little um whatever they're called like weed shops but not weed shops where you can buy like a bom yeah what a little head shop right near Wrigley on Clark yeah um but back in the 60s he just had these like little shops would walk around go into places and just look for fights and that is the other side of Chicago and that's the Chicago that although I think is cool I don't relate to I like I've never liked fighting I never when even when I was younger and pretended to be tough for like a six Monon period I was still like yeah [ __ ] that guy I hope nobody starts throwing punches especially not hitting my face and you're like you see you're a [ __ ] it's like such a [ __ ] everybody is though every well nobody only a few people really want to fight and those people are animals yeah they're lunatic they're but there are some people like that there is a couple that love to fight and that they will have a night where it starts where they're like getting ready 23 years old putting the cologne on doing the shirt and going like I really hope somebody [ __ ] with me tonight I'm going to kill somebody when I've wed wanted to be that guy I'm still like I hope somebody [ __ ] with me and then the last second a bigger person breaks it up goes holy [ __ ] am i p no you're you're you have a you have a working brain that goes look dude it's cool to be ma cheeso everybody wants to be the guy everybody wants to be that uhuhuh but it ain't reality it ain't reality if you've been hit in the face you know it hurts so much it's the [ __ ] worst I'll tell you what else also hurts and this is real CIS talk mhm [Laughter] hitting there's no way hitting does hurt it hurts so much there's I if punching somebody was punching a marshmallow I'd be a bully i' kill these fools it hurts it hurts so much your hands the next day after a fight are so sore this you oh yeah your forearms and your wrist it hurts so much hat it even like stupid stuff like training like boxing train I box for a while and I'll be like how was it and then my wife was like well you're not getting hurt are you and I'm like Honey's not hit me back and she's like so why is everything in ice and I'm like cuz it's a nightmare I'm punching a stupid bag and it's winning yeah the bag wins my arms are really hurting like I think I broke something I dude I I got in fights in college cuz we were animals yeah and I [ __ ] hated all them I hated because every time it was a friend starting it and you had to be the guy guide with him I I I swear to God I only have started one fight my whole life and only one and it was very just yeah it was like a guy being a pig to this girl and it was just yeah yeah it was still atrocious yeah it was like why am I doing this but all the other times man I was fighting for friends and I [ __ ] hated it I hated it yeah I had a thing in my mother who was tough I was in seventh or eighth grade going through I'm a little bit older than you and I don't know if your group hit it but the starter jacket phase come on man you kidding me yeah yeah so my parents were so nervous about me wearing them outside yeah I had a Duke starter jacket so I Duke Jack okay Hot Chat just to set the vibe of this story right so I'm walking around that probably a Miami Hurricane hat got to be um with with uh W with the old like the spindle of colors behind him right I remember that hat that tough that was cool good and in the suburbs in like my little like group we weren't fighting but we were listening to the right music M and so who's gonna receive the brunt end of my toughness my sister right that makes the most sense I could kill her I could eat her up for dinner and anybody in the neighborhood you could whoop your sister that's the one yeah I knew I had her and people's younger siblings but my mom had a moment where something happened to my sister and I and I was from like mall fights using the term you want to go you want to go yeah and that meant like you know we know you want to go then you want to go and it would be that back and forth so I said it to my sister my mother did not like that so she goes you say that to her again you and me are gonna go and my sister did the and I was three steps up on the stairs at this point I was you know I think 15 14 all right so you got some weight on you a little bit you know my mother was a heavy lady okay she was yeah she was a she was a big chicag so you were fighting out of your weight class I didn't even think about it but was there a weighin there was no weighin huh the weighin would have been 105 lbs soan wet with nine pubes versus a woman walking around at 185 you know maybe even more [ __ ] you up yeah now I was probably taller than her sure but her reach was probably stronger her reach was Stronger the weight for sure was a different but what was really the difference was the meanness yeah the anger the the ability to be tough right cuz she goes stop saying it we're going to go and I went like this and my sister was giving me the look so I have this a true story half-heartedly went like you want to go really just to save face with my sister right you got to do it cuz she's right there it's humiliating you got to do it I'm not a little chicken what's my mom going to do I'm going to go upstairs and later I'm going to apologize to my mom when my sister around like a true coward right like that this woman comes at me like a tiger grabs me hip checks me throws me across the room I go down I see the other side of my mom and if you had a scary grownup who was Heavy doing the you know w t for you gave me one in the ribs I was on the ground I was like she goes uh I think her exact words were you're little [ __ ] don't do this oh my god dude and it changed yeah and we've laughed about it since and she like the real stories afterward she cried oh she oh she was like I don't I don't want this for you I love you she's like this isn't you and I was like sitting there listening to NWA being like there's some I was like smoking in Newport being like there might be something you're saying that's true [Laughter] mama mama you might be right I'm going to tell you this everything I do I do for you Mama single mama and I love you but I think I might be going down the wrong road she had the your mom had the see I have the mom who's Irish who has the um we don't talk about it and we throw it way down deep so my mom's favorite and your dad was gone yes and then my stepdad came into my life which was wonderful but my mom when we were together when she was single and we lived in the city we bounced around buildings we lived uh all over kind of near River North and we bounced around my mom worked for a uh uh she worked for a property management company that that managed all these big buildings okay great so I lived like at one point I was 11-11 Deerborn 2310 L we all over the place yeah and so and only so many years downtown but she uh she had this way about her that was I grew up with 10 kids one of 10 One n so when you were like oh the blank blank blank blank blank and she was always like you you'll be all right you'll be all right was always like a do you have any [ __ ] idea what I've been through like they they had such little food sometimes yeah same with my mom she would eat they she would only get fat like if they had meat and the fat that' be trimmed they would ask for the fat so she liked eating the fat because it was like what she got then at some point was like if that's all they're trimming we'll take throwaways yeah we so that was her mentality was like you'll be fine it was not like a don't be a [ __ ] but it was it was more like stop it that's your problem [ __ ] by the way I think out of I think there's something really so my mom was similar upbringing handled it in a different way yeah uh she kicked you yeah I mean only once and I will say I deserved it yeah it was your fault you said you want to go yes but I will say that type of parent especially now as you know I've gotten older and seen more Generations it's a it was a really nice gift man yeah of somebody like I grew up with food I did not grow up struggling I did not have that brutality right she did a great job with me I knew what she lived through and so I could like see that that was a reality but I'm like man I don't know the more people I've met where they have you you hear about their upgr you it's like love over love over Support over support for Generations you're like even your great grandparents were kind and Wealthy you had everything forever so wait a second there were people in like 1890 who had good lives I thought good life started in the 80s yeah even then even then kind of but that was the drugs and but I was like I did not realize until way too late that like oh people's had people have had happy families generationally right

jump down the rabbit hole with me please drink responsibly and enjoy Ginger I like gingers yeah so I I don't know this is a question for you just to goof off for a little bit but when you're talking about the looks uh I've had debates with friends a lot of how much of this game is talent and how much of it is grind cuz I don't believe in luck no I don't either it's so funny I've said this before on the show I think luck is a [ __ ] word people use it because they don't grind hard where they go like oh well did you know like that guy just came out here and look at who hooked him up and you go like well how do you think that person hooked me up right wa you think they was just walking on Walmart hooking people up help in what goddamn world yeah that's it's like no it's all a game but my big kind of thing that I've kind of gotten to I like to think about is like but what the [ __ ] is Talent it's not like we're magicians right we're like you know you go like well what's Talent I'm a juggler I did 95 balls at once and you go undeniably that's incredible we're all doing about three or four balls maybe maybe I can get the two I get two real well maybe you learn to do a trick with a little bit of fire and only because you realize it's just a hot ball yeah it's not going to burn me it's and then you go well there's thousands of us doing the same kind of juggling a lot of people want to play with a hot ball why do certain people keep winning and winning I'm like it has to just be out of a 100 hustle 80% of the game so much I think I think it's I think it's I think it's an uneven amount of hustle over talent so much so that sometimes very very talented people as we know this is story as old as time who don't have the go goget they just don't snap they don't have the business in show like there's one guy that I know I think about all the time and I would never say his name or anything but I thought he was genuinely yeah one of our most talented friends that we had in our group when we all first started it was undeniable how good he was and he just he [ __ ] off he [ __ ] off so much that it wasn't the drinking or getting high we all party yeah yeah yeah we were 24 but it was like he just didn't give enough of a [ __ ] I've had this similar thing and you're like don't you care you're better than all of us so get out there yeah you know who we both are right now Benny Affleck to Matt Damon and Goodwill 100% you know it's if I see you on this construction site I'm going to kick this [ __ ] out of you we needed that you're right though I do think I think it is a lot of it's a it's so much more pushing but then once you get in right it's almost like you've seen those trains in China where they shove everybody in yes it's like it's like shoving and shoving that's what the business is that's exactly right it's like and then but once you get in you better the you better be [ __ ] good yeah but also now the game starts right now you have now you have to really man I've I like the train thing I've always viewed it as this town is like a huge beautiful table and there's x amount of seats and you got to fight and fight and fight and you get a seat and you think like now I got a seat I can eat and then as soon as you sit down they say everybody stand up again right and then all of a sudden they take away a few seats and then there's a whole new generation that comes in that you go like I don't know these people and then you start watching you go like no I don't like that [ __ ] that's not for me and then you see a Groove and you go they're doing some good stuff yeah that's a funny group a good shift though yeah but you go like that's a really tal like there's some Talent yeah and you go like hey man great and then you go at least for me my game goes cuz I've been out playing this for a while I want to fight for a SE again or am I good yeah and you go I still like the cuz the the it's less the it's less anything else I like the game it's fun it's fun I like the hustle I like the grind I feel like I'm walking up on someone's door knocking and going like I got a beautiful sign for you like let's hustle let's what is this like the game changes everyone goes like the business is so different man I go like thank God yeah well you wanted to stay the same it's always going to could you imag imagine if we're still playing this game in 20 years what we're going to be doing so ugly it be ugly it's miserable it's good thing it's changing that's so funny but it's I wish it never changed you're like really really man none of it okay dude I think you're mising Every Generation you come the kind of the old heads always say like you know when I came up we were doing like early YouTube videos I was part of like the Derek Waters Group who created the Drunk History saying like let's do it in a back you did he did that because of you is that a lie the rumor was that you guys got [ __ ] up together and you were telling him a none of it was it was not us it was him I got drunk yeah but you gave him some of the yeah well I told a story about Otis readin that uh I believed to be true uh it's a 10minute story I can tell to you in three lines Otis writing the night before he died used to write all his movies with his wife or his uh songs with his wife he gets on a private plane has a feeling gets off goes to her and says no matter what happens promise me you'll be good and she goes you're crazy get on the plane he goes I'm not getting on to you said she goes I promise he gets on the plane the plane crashes he dies in which lake lake monod or lake mundod second one it's a tough it's tough isn't it every time I go to Madison I go which [ __ ] Lake did he crash in I want to stare at it for an hour so that's the story right yeah uh this was really pre- interet and Google hard pushes sure so I'd heard it in a bar in Chicago right uh when I told it to Derek I took 45 minutes and I was doing voices I truly believed he was having an out of- body experience of how cuz he was looking at me like this and I thought like you're in the groove jie J don't stop if you're surfing finish the wave so I went for it the next day he calls me up he goes hey man can I come back with our friend Jeremy Connor and can we get you drunk and film you telling that story and I was thinking like I understand why you'd want to film and I don't understand why I would be drunk like a goddamn clown yeah and he's said I want to reenact it and have Otis writing behind you being like shut the [ __ ] up none of this happened and as a commercial actor at the time I said I can't have my agent see me drunk back then I was like that's smart that's actually really smart I was like man I I just got in the union I was just getting commercials I was still catering I was like no I can't do a YouTube video where I'm blackout drunk man I was like won't do it and he goes all right I'll get somebody else will you just be in it and then it started but that whole era the older guys that like ye rustic would be saying to us you do that [ __ ] for free yeah well you're hurting all of us and I'd be like yeah but I got to yeah we don't have a choice I got to make something I got to hustle yeah what did you want me to do not work cuz you guys aren't giving me jobs right and so I'm like oh fun man it then you get in you start going like you guys are doing all that for free or you're killing us I'm like I am balding too I get it I see what happened here guys good stuff that is the fact though it's like that's the game that the G and what you're saying there is interesting as I told you the most what I said was the most impressive thing that I found in my life is instead of doing that weird [ __ ] up thing when you see younger or others and going no was going oh let me see this for what it's worth yep also I can work with this yes totally you know what it's like it's like pesh doing that show Bop kiss with David Pete Davidson show you calling peshy pesh my man are you boys with pesy I don't want to tell you nothing I none of your business you come at me with a knife you better come back with a gun peshi doing that to me was like I agree it's like oh yeah it's not it's doing this to the younger generation and also understanding his seat is still there because he's kept up yeah because he's like I know what I think is cool and and I'm still here and I'm still here and I'll come back down to the seat by the way B I'm sure I'm not say saying they made him read but I'm sure he went out for that and there was a ton of deliberation that they were like is he good for this thing yeah people at home are like they'll just give anything it's like that's not how it works it works no I'm sure they sat in the room and they go will this work because honestly he won't read he won't take meetings he doesn't know what the [ __ ] Zoom is who knows so if he comes in and we have all worked with older guys and older women that are dog shed oh my god dude you start and you go like man I was really excited about this bit cuz it sets up the character and your brain is Mash for [ __ ] Tates and there's no way out of it now and they're doing this with their with their readers on the phone and they have bad attitudes yeah and they're mad at you about everything because and then you like I always improvise and I don't improvise as like a big it just starts to happen and then they'll go now I don't know where I am and I'm like I don't know what to tell you we're here together you saw the words that were there yeah and also I'm not a like I'm not like an improv joke guy and it's I'm not like a gotcha guy right so my improv did end with a question I was hoping to set you up for something I was opening the door I just thought you'd want I'll be happy if you win my guy I just forgot the lines yeah and thought well I'm here and you're here and also you know we get to do this again this isn't real film none of this matters you know none of this matters well that that the most complimentary thing I've ever seen is sometimes I'll work with people that that are so good at improv but they give you everything I've always been jealous of those guys I can bounce with almost anybody but the guy that can give you stuff they almost because of it like I only did one fun scene with baitman I I did Arrested Development and dude there are some guys where you're like so you don't get anything back yeah you just get to give setups well I got to tell you I'm a a big fan of baitman uh I like to be that role yeah um straight straight straight straight well I like to you know obviously if you're getting if you're in a Groove get your laughs yeah but in a very selfish way it's because you become the first audience member and especially if you're doing episodic and you're with the same people over and over which you you you've done a lot yeah I get really bored sure so if you and I are doing something and I'm like man I really like this guy we went out like he's super funny guy I know he likes this Zone I know he doesn't like this zone so in the scene if I can get you to this Zone and you have to play along and you score it's the joy for me because then you both know like you'll be in a scene and you'll say something we'll make eye contact and when the other person in shot then goes like yeah like I know where we're going to go and it ends with you winning right yeah you're GNA win you're gonna win I'm gonna put you in a Zone where we're both GNA be biting our cheeks cuz you're gonna have to do that thing that you said in confidence like I just don't feel comfortable doing this the night before we were drinking I'm like that's really cool gotcha let's have some fun and that to me if you if you get somebody scoring and having fun it makes those 12-hour days fun a lot easier a lot a lot easier is there someone you remember working with that you did that to the most I mean well Lamar Morris I was just going I literally was going to guess Lor I was like he's got to be the most fun because he's very talented and handsome which is a little [ __ ] annoying yeah but lamorn is so when Lamor is a guy because he would very clearly have a look of panic at times where you would put like if he would ever improvise something uh and the one of the things I really love to do when somebody's improvising and they get out a little bit of ahead of themselves is just going which happens a lot a lot well you're making [ __ ] up it's really hard going and what people don't realize there's a full crew there's a lot of anxiety this by the way the Boom the boom doing this thing when when there's too much improv in him going oh hating it the operator's literally going like this but you got to keep gunning we're not going to use most of this guys yeah like negative crew members it is very funny so funny it makes me laugh Max Greenfield and I used to do something on that show that was so childish but so fun and that is when we' be improvising and nobody liked it and the crew hat it the writers didn't like it it was late and it was just childish you can feel it the the the air is thick no one's into it yeah but we're now doing the thing where I'm like I put you in a position and he's like I put you in a position he would go uh oh the boyss are cooking with Cass and then we'd pointed crew members we' be like M's dying look at the boom he can't hold it in he's like and none of them yeah they didn't think that was funny so then you're in a Zone where there's a 50-year-old guy looking at you like this and you go like look at this [ __ ] guy he's like this I I can't break I can't break I'm only going to do a few more takes my guy then I'm GNA go one more for the crew one when you enter that Galaxy yeah I'm like oh this [ __ ] gets fun it is fun it is it's fake by the way that's the funniest part when everybody gets serious you're like you know this is all fake all of it even if you're doing stuff that like people are pretending really matters it's all we are grown-ups make make believe this is meant to be fun it's dress up Seinfeld that was my favorite Seinfeld's like we're playing dress up like the best version of dress up we've ever done when you moved out here what was the big dream uh honestly at the at the embarassing let's hear like the B I'll tell you because I lied and told my parents I was coming out here to write comedy but I knew better it was I want to do standup I was so embarrassed about even admitting standup and by the way didn't even remotely say acting that to my parents was like acting [ __ ] you acting okay buddy you know it was like no [ __ ] way could I have ever said acting but my biggest poetry yeah it was yeah no worse it be it' be like it was a spoken word he was like that's right writing comedy as a job going like I'm GNA go out there I'm gonna do spoken word no you're not no you're not he staying here my I think my I think truly it was SNL at the beginning stages of my to write or to be in it just be on it I want to wanted be in that Galaxy yeah yeah yeah I got the test for it it was nice oh you did I did yeah it was nice I've told the story had nauseum on this show I'm sure fans are like shut the [ __ ] up I got to go test and then fly back out and sit with Lauren and him very sweetly afterwards be like I think it's GNA be Pete Davidson and I was like that's a good choice no it was actually I've said it so much on this show I couldn't agree with the pick I was 30 one yeah he was 20 yeah God bless what the [ __ ] are we talking about who wants a 1-y old that's already been on television and already and I was already touring as a stand up I was figuring out my [ __ ] it was a no-brainer but so when that that was my dream that was interesting at that at that at at my when I was 22 if you would have said what is it it was that yeah but I wanted to tour and be a stand up of course I thought that you know what it was it was like with Ste Steve Martin guys like that where you're like you could touch all the bases you touched all the bases yeah I think like totally those kind of guys were kind of my like uh you know of course Eddie Murphy like those are heroes when we were kids I was like they can do anything and it's amazing yeah they can do standup they could do sketch they could do anything anything and it was great drama what was your when you came out what was your um that's interesting I I because I see you as such like a standup actor so like you know where you're like I don't think of sketch no and and it truly like that's what's that's what's so [ __ ] up I was disillusioned by all the previous stand-ups that had gone on that show cuz I could see it doing like weekend update for sure I mean that I would love but but but then you look the guys now yeah and like I know those guys they're so [ __ ] good at that job yeah they're killers and I know America you know they're so funny when people like blah blah blah blah blah you're like okay do it yeah agreed go [ __ ] try it I dare you to go write that many jokes week after week after good [ __ ] look but also with a live audience that matters go ahead and do it yeah and and by the way in a studio that they've been sitting she they sat in a line outside uh you know what I mean get the [ __ ] out of here go do it go ahead I'm doing it at at the store at night to people that uh are are drinking that cannot wait to laugh SNL's doing it to [ __ ] cold sober people in November in New York who's been outside for an hour and a half in line then they had to wait to get in then they wait for the thing it's like go try it but anyway that was my yeah that was kind of like the thing I thought was going to be that would be it for me yeah but I honestly now yeah all this this is it for me comedy stand up and acting you love it stand up I could do till I'm dead acting I'll do until they tell me to go away but stand up will always till I'm dead it'll be the one where it's like you'll have to be like dude you love it it's the cruise ship is docked you got to get off he'll be like yeah but then I'll perform here while people get off there's money to be had there's laughs to be had people got to go to their cars no it is true and that that to me would be like the when it's over that's that would be my end that's fun when you moved what did you want well for me growing up it was always cheers it was cheers it was so my family getting together we had one TV yeah uh and pre we did not have cable growing up so we had NBC and when cheers or Roseanne came on yeah we watched oh rosan and in my house my mother who was the boss her mood set the table and if she's laughing our house was awesome and if she wasn't depends on the day but if she was laughing it was [ __ ] awesome and so shows that made her laugh I thought like man I want to be one of them I want to be a character on a television show and I really thought I really believed that if you had that everything else worked out I didn't really understand that like you go home and you have your your own issues and life goes on I thought like you live that fantasy and you're going to have a pool and a convertible and just money coming out your ass and your ears and for a job you like walk into a bar and you know like Woody for that for example Sam for that Norm to be Cliff clave and I was like these guys were such Killers yeah and then when I watched Roseanne seeing like you know what Goodman did where I was like oh he's grounding this but he's like he's funny and it was I was like man just that that was it that was it times 100 movies I think I've always thought were cool but I was never even when like we were all in our like late teenage early 20s and films were cool and TV sucked I've always been into TV oh even when it was like at the height of comedy film but even like for me even if you have like the you know scors all these really cool people yeah I'm still not a guy who's like did you see the new Tarantino movie I'm like I mean I'm sure I will and I'm definitely gonna be impressed because he's wildly talented but I'm not like did you see the 35 millimeter print outside of the Beverly on my past but I did watch 19 episodes of Television cuz it's at home yeah and I didn't have to leave but it's and you know why you know I appreciate it because uh all of those shows for some reason maybe this is a Chicago bias but it felt like they were all Chicago I don't know what was going on years they were but so many was like be beyond the fact that John Hughes had like spewed yes Chicago all over film so heavily that like everyone you even saw it was like everyone that was coming out of everything was all Chicago yeah it felt like it was all for us you had like characters you had like Bill Murray so the Murray family are just Chicago through and through yeah do you know like there's it's not just like cuz he's talented like there's a Vibe he gives off balushi you know both Belushi they just that is Chicago yeah there's a feeling I mean Farley who wasn't but even though he did the second series it felt like that's that's Chicago he's Milwaukee but he's but he's Chicago Chicago Tim Meadows same thing you're like Tina Fay Rachel dra that group where you're like oh you've been touch there was like a feeling of like Chicago's been here and this is what we do yeah and you go it at least for me that was always the dream and then you know when we're talking earlier about the game keeps changing I'm like are sitcom's going to be in the game in 10 years I I I I do honestly think so I genuinely think I don't I think a version of them will be yes but a version of them an eight episode comedic show which is very cool is not an old TV show that's true and it's great and it's really good content and I'm playing that game too and I like it but in doing it I'm like these are little movies we're back to shooting a little movie and uh the uh TV show I did was always single camera so we had big hours but what was different is we did sometimes 25 episodes a year so you become the character the writers are writing for you your bits make it onto the show you then do that you have a seven-year contract you go through fat phases on television and then the writers write it and you go like uh why is my character eating donuts for breakfast and everyone else has grapefruit and they go like what did you eat for breakfast they're like yeah you even fit in sweatpants as you're asking them exactly I'm like this is just one yeah yeah this was my morning [ __ ] don't judge me don't judge me but that to me I've gotten away from it I'm starting to get back in my life but then I started thinking like movies are cool maybe you be you know you get into more dramas well well the the you know the thing to me that's exciting about the change is like I don't know I hope it [ __ ] keep it keeps feeling different cuz then the Horizon may be brighter then it's like saying well who knows what the the idea that a live audience watched a sitcom and they went there and they watched like yes that probably is a long way from home now we're probably old world of multis are a little different but maybe a new version of that thing does spring up and I'm not smart enough to figure it out same with me so it's like let's let the [ __ ] let the Tinker sink go for it whatever you're trying to do I like that idea because to me uh it's more create your own adventure instead of just like format format format format format format you're like we need a little bit of funk in there but the the game and what I've realized I love about TV is the once you've created a quarter pounder with cheese there's a when you go back to Art versus grind there's a lot of great art and just making that quarter pounder over and over and over and it is it is the best and when you do it for a while you think think like maybe it's not the best mhm maybe it's just a quarter pound of with cheese and then you go like I made a project where you know part of it I was like you know you break up the ACT I'm like if the First Act is a cheeseburger and fries at a Chicago Diner and the second act is like a vegan burger with sweet potato fries but it tastes right like one of those good ones right with like then one of those hipster sodas it tastes like a Coke like an Olli poop yeah it tastes like a goddamn coat it t but what's in it I don't know but everybody tells me it's healthy I used to think then the third act should be like a [ __ ] Sushi platter oh so that the audience goes like and they're as manic as me and now as I'm aged I'm kind of like when I'm watching something and I see the people doing it for the writer room yeah and I see the people doing it for each other and the idea of like you know he's the comic's comic or the writer's writer the actor's actor I used to really value that and think it was cool and now I'm like you're the act the audience's actor MH you're you know who you're it's for it's for the people watching yeah you know who this is for the millions of people at home you know they don't want that third act [ __ ] Sushi you goofball they might not even want an impossible burger what are you doing and so you can go like well I I got bored so what I thought who cares yeah it's not for you they like it right you like doing it have some [ __ ] gratitude [ __ ] and dance yeah and also make a just make a really good burger at top and can you that can you keep doing it going back to the thing you were saying about the SNL things when people keep changing you go like you think it's easy you think it's easy to make a great burger and have a successful restaurant for a decade try it yeah go ahead do it you can maybe get five or six episodes maybe two years try it for 10 and if you're able to be on a group even if you're not the main Chef I'm like oh I'm I'm reestablishing of like oh that's the goal yeah fill it up where you're like everybody here's a killer everyone's so funny I I I want everyone to score these people make me laugh the whoever creates it I think they're smarter than all of us they understand something that we don't about the engine of this car yes and you go and if you can land in it and in this day and age that thing can drive you say at the beginning when we're all signing our contracts anybody here a [ __ ] Maniac or are we all adults anybody G to get weird yeah cuz if not let's play this game for a while there should be is anybody a maniac talk before every you know how they have the what do they have before the job we have to do like the the sex uh what is it called um you know the like the uh they make us sit you know before you shoot a TV show sexual harassment SE harassment training right the training which is a nightmare it'd be so funny if they had a a man are you a maniac training yes and then you get quizzed on it cuz the part of the maniac training is like you're GNA be fine season one what happens if all the Press says you're good what do you think of everybody else be and a lie detector I think everyone's equal I think I'm better than all these fools and they're going to say how about that person gets all the heat how you going to feel I'm GNA hate him so much I'm g go crazy okay you're a maniac you're allowed to have some feeling yeah some but like this is a team trying to win on the team you know what that's like that's like uh uh did you ever see um oh God uh the the movie Inside the movie oh for your consideration did you ever watch that yeah for your consideration guis but it was a brilliant concept it was it was about a bunch of yahoos who made a bad movie and they they think that there's Oscar buzz it's genius and they all change their personalties it is a microcosm of society in general the moment that you tell people that they're this they just believe so we used to do to uh my aunt filamina growing up my mom's what a name filamina did you call her a't Phil Phil I mean kind of mostly filamina you'd say the full name yeah always ant filamina yeah I'm trying to do it in the yard yeah filamina ant filamina no yeah I I don't I don't think I ever called her Phil I think her siblings might have called her Philly but I called her Philly I like Philly and Philly's good what about her though go ahead well they used to my uncles used to do a game where they would say uh when you see filamina ask her if she's okay there you go okay okay they would say later the next round say she looks like a little pasty I see if she's is okay and so the kids you just be like hey Timmy hey Johnny hey fil are you okay she' go I'm fine why anyhow and then later hey F meina you okay you look pasty are you why are you so pasty by the end of the thing she'd be like I think I'm sick yeah because it's that same thing if somebody tells you you're something you're something you are yeah it's you introduce it into their mind it just happens it starts and if that happens in a cast I mean I bet it's the same thing with sports you know what do you mean that's just got it's got to be it's got the thing about sports I look at is so different than our game because I just think like I don't know I like to be a fan and not think about it but you imagine how hard it must be if like you know somebody has like a great season or gets a big contract you know you all pretend to be happy where you're like 84 million three years guaranteed yeah and it's like yeah man blessed you've said blessed a few times you're more than blessed you are are 81.3 million richer than me it's a lot of money my guy because I'm on a oneyear $3 million deal and I was bragging to everyone in my life I pay for everything to everybody we're per I genuinely don't think you're better than me we're both tight ends I think you're good you're young I think you're good you're $81 million more valuable to this business that I am it's hard to go to practice Yeah yeah how do you justify how do you justify if you go like I'm a 10-year vet I'm one of those guys I'm in the league and then they go yeah the Bangles are offering me a your agent calls and they go like oneye deal uh league minimum and you go really what's the franchise tag for my position the middle 35 million and what's the uh uh league minimum for a tenure 900,000 yeah n 900 to just shy of a million that's all they say pre they pre taxes yeah it's around a mill it's just right kissing kissing up to aill what's uh guaranteed if I get injured not a mooch now if you get let me look hold on let me look at the paperwork there is none of that no so you would be yeah you'd be out so you are essentially paid per day around like 4,500 bucks right and these other guys are making just shy of so much money just shy of like 78 Grand a day and then the coach goes like this this is about us who we stand for you watch Hard Knock it's one of those speeches and they're like who what's our identity I think we all have different identities it's about wins and losses it's also it is about wins and losses it's about other things too it's about a lot of other stuff that's going on it's about wins and losses 84 million league minimum that's something too by the way we should make a Doc called league minimum and follow just league minimum guys psychologically find out how they actually feel about the locker room cuz it is funny those guys that get stepped on you know like did you watch new Hard Knocks I didn't see this season yeah oh it's a blast well I want to watch it I've stay I've stayed away from it for a second as a bearan you're afraid of no I just well here's the deal I ran into Aaron Rogers at a a golf thing and and I remember being in the cart and being you know just canned I was canned and my buddy who's just such a [ __ ] instigator was like Aaron Rogers was at the uh at the at the halfway house there and I was like no [ __ ] yeah and I can hear myself being like say something [ __ ] funny to him say something real [ __ ] funny real sharp real yeah so I'm like just give him something good you know and I get up there he turns he goes what up guys and I go hey how you doing that's it how you doing and the whole time I was like don't say anything else don't say anything else nothing came out because inherently uh I don't give a [ __ ] every Chicago fan knows yeah he's incredible he well here's I would kill to have him on the Bears slit a throat so here's what's nice about this do so I'm doing a podcast now with my buddy G do you know Gareth Reynolds I love Gareth re Gareth Reynolds was a writer on the Animated Series I just did oh he's the best yeah wait did you do a voice on that no which one was this on royal crackers no okay uh and you should yeah great yeah I'd love to league minimum maybe at less yeah at best yeah I was just gonna say so he's a Die Hard Packer fan you know a tattoo on his arm uh and uh just loves Aaron Rogers and for years as a DI C Bears fan it's been hard and so I have convinced I all I anytime like Aaron Rogers in like a denim outfit I just send it to Gareth and I'll be like interesting outfit any press he does i' would be like I'm not sure if to me this would be what leadership was but but but I'm also like but maybe it's because I'm a Bears fan but like talking about a going in a dark room for five days well I'm an offens lineman and I'm like working really hard maybe I'd like him to be like studying film I don't know just doesn't feel like a leader to me but it's a new world he's always like oh shut up shut up once he's gone to the Jets The Narrative has gone so 180 where I'm like how do you get rid of such a legend he's so charming and he's like who denim jacket guy I'm like and then he'll send me back the photos and I'm like he was going through you know what he's got a sense of humor he's experimenting he's fun yeah guess what sorry you're so uptight stuck in your Green Bay mentality but it's been really fun to watch as a Bears fan cuz you get to find we go like he's one of the greatest quarterbacks of our era oh of all time and you're like but you also there's only so many of these truly great players yeah the problem was he hated us so bad well it was actually more we hated him yes he was so good yeah it was it was the [ __ ] it was the thing of when someone hates you and your ability but they really don't have much yeah and you're like oh I don't stop it give a [ __ ] like the only reason he did the I own you is cuz like some lady flicked them off and yell you heard her Chicago being like [ __ ] you [ __ ] you you're like [ __ ] you well she's you know what the relationship is it's San Francisco in La I always say this San Francisco inherently hates Los Angeles and they always talk [ __ ] every everybody up there's like [ __ ] ell you live down in that [ __ ] hole we don't give a [ __ ] at all I don't even view them as in California they're not I'm like this that's a yeah I visit I like it there it's nice it's fine who cares I don't think about it even a little bit that's really right that is Rogers the exactly it's like they he doesn't give he never gave a [ __ ] until they until he was so funny by the way and all that stuff was funny yeah agreed you know so it's like he was he was so good we were little brother syndrome we're like I'll get you one day just to tiate the fans because I know they would love to hear more about this but yeah yeah yeah I'm sorry guys no I know they they but what do you think of our Bears this year I'm still behind the kid I still love the kid yeah I still love the kid well I know but there's everyone's got their own two cents about him you know I'm still behind the kid I love him a lot your Tone's different than mine yeah you're oh why you're gung-ho yeah oh yeah I'm not seeing any of the hesitation yet you look at the team he had last year and what he pulled off no it was impressive as [ __ ] yeah I'm like you look at what he did in Ohio State yeah his first year he had naggie naggie was a maniac I know and man there's a piece of naggie that I that I really loved just he was a [ __ ] lunatic yeah I like lunatic [ __ ] because because Bel was a lunatic coach too he just did it differently do you know what I mean there's some guys that know how to do it the like papovich for basketball they were like Greg hovic is a [ __ ] lunatic he was just a he was brilliant or they just happened to win yeah they're just good I know because it goes back to life he also had Tim Duncan the last few years now that he's got that like you know 7 foot 10 kid who could handle the rock yeah he's going to go back to being a great coach last few years what's what are the Spurs been doing he's still the same Maniac yeah yeah exactly right no it's true it no it is a part of it is how you control your Mania but yeah I think uh I do I think the Bears are going to be uh definitely stronger than we were last year right um but I'm forever worried about what happens with the Bears when it gets good meaning every time when it gets a little bit good we start to [ __ ] go to nuts go to [ __ ] and we believe in ourselves in a way where you're like look at us look at this and then it just spills over we're like all right which is by the way to me the first time I've heard that take on bear success when it gets a little bit good as an organization the Chicago Bears go look at us look at us H Chicago gets like proud of itself like not bad not bad which is the opposite with the Cubs the Cubs at the beginning of the year every time suck they [ __ ] my dad the Cubs [ __ ] suck [ __ ] 10 away from 500 now look at him and everyone's like hey I don't know com pretty cool to see St Louis and last it's the same conversation so for me with the Bears my whole life I've never gotten too excited about only because you afraid that they're going to emotionally hurt you because they're going to blow of their attitude they what the [ __ ] has happened every year they're going to blow well you know what's funny about our age Gap is like how hard did you cry in 06 06 06 when the Cubs won the World Series no no no no no no no0 six bears oh this is the uh oh the double doink whatever that was that was7 I don't remember the year I I didn't cry it's just one of those moments where I'm like this is it what what I had on that when that was the kid cody Parky the uh kicker who Cody py py I I remember on that one I really liked their team I really thought we were building I did have the nickname money Mitch for Mitch triski did you really oh yeah like because he seemed to be clutch I hated the pick I hate when these guys pretend to be Geniuses and go like we've got three kids who have had four years in college they put up really big numbers and the obvious choice is to go after them there's some musclebound kid who has never played the game of football deep in the outback and I'm a genius he's training using truck tires and we're GNA and where did he play College North Carolina that's a they have a football team what were his numbers he was a backup I'm like I'm being spun that this is a good move you got guys you'll see but you got guys I'm like I watched DeShaun Watson in the and I don't watch college football I just watch the big games yeah that dude's available yeah he's good we traded take that guy yeah which one the guy I just watched three weeks ago who's the best player in college football who happens to play a quarter position of need and then they go Bears have traded up and I'm like I'm sure it's that kid from Clemson and then they go go Mitchell true Mitchell and then the first thing I Googled was he had an old tweet that said I like kissing titties do you remember this actually really respected that tweet a lot I like kissing titties as your leader come on man he's not wrong I do like kissing titties give him a little bit of credit I get the thought you got to walk through this he's sitting there he goes I like kissing titties his boy goes write it but then the leader goes like this that's a good idea logs in i space like cuz and send it who's it for what are people going to go like hey man I got this unbel I just saw this unbelievable tweet why a college football player what' it say I like hising titties retweet that shit's not gonna pop people are gonna go like this yeah that's like the same thing his next tweet is like taking big dumps feels good yeah don't tweet it don't tweet that don't do do it I am going to get behind titties you like the tweet I I think it's funny I do like kissing big titties why not also you're in the mind of a 19 what is he 20-year-old kid still you're putting it a 20-year-old kid who's being groomed now if you're talking about an undrafted free agent who H like whoever we got that quarterback now that kid uh uh pent whatever his name is who might be something if he tweeted from Shephard State I like kissing big asses I go like this doesn't matter I also kind and then again I it's fun it's fun it'd be fun I get it you're saying you're saying star [ __ ] I'm saying being groomed the machines behind you when you're in high school and you're the high school player of the year and you've got people in your ear and also filling your wallet with money and them going like so you will have this opportunity to live out this dream you are on a track we're going to go it's it's coming for you will have a look I don't know if you'll deliver but there's a lot of those kids that you're like there's only 25 of them that get invited to all these camps right you're invited to the camps you're hanging out on a Friday night you going this I got to go public with something what are you announcing a new partnership no no no I'm gonna announce that I I like to kiss tits slow clap from the whole room no I did it no no one says no to that guy that's the problem when you're young and you're the most successful there is no one in your group that goes don't do it inner voice doesn't have it doesn't have it he's been he's been [ __ ] his brains been getting Mish mashed around in his head since he was seven since his dad was like hit the concrete wall in the garage until you can't feel your feet then you get dinner that's the thing about these football players the more football players I become friends with in the professional sense the more you're like when they're when they're 30 and they go I kind of want to walk soon and everyone's like what and you're like dud you're giving this something you're like I have to they broke their body their whole since they were children now if a [ __ ] golfer is like I gotta get out you're like you're [ __ ] I need I need a break to get my feet on the ground your feet are on the ground the whole time you're doing just fun just golf poorly for a couple years but I wouldn't stop the golden faucet is shooting out gold I would stay there man let them kick you off that Court that's what I would say if I had a young boy if I ever have a young boy 100% you're golfing every day you're like you're playing no other sports but golf because like you look at uh I love golf I'm a big golfer you look at a guy who played good go there's a kid named will zorus I don't know if you ever know anything about he was talking about how he didn't like to live and all this stuff and he's like you're making plenty of money about it up I think he spoke a little out of turn because there's a lot of guys on tour that aren't making great money but here's a guy will who he's not Mr I win and he's still making like eight a year and you're like come on man that's [ __ ] incredible yeah yeah come on man if you can walk with 8 million a year and you barely did anything and what you did was golf and at worst you have some like shoulder pain at worse at worse the guys I feel the most bad for are and just I I'm curious to see what the next 20 years is going to be is the MMA Community oh man dude I couldn't agree with you more it looks it's have you ever been to a live event yes I've sat behind Rogan on the floor and wild man it sounds sad I get sad how hard did they I got into this early so when Dana White first bought it I was kind of getting into then I liked the old stuff that you used to get like vhs's of where you were like oh it was really fun and when it started getting mainstream I felt like oh this was really like early on and I was really into it we went to an event Fox did some event back in the day I think it was Junior do Santos or something and I got Fox got me and a bunch of buddies to go so we like rented a limo we like what a bless smoked way too much weed Dr we were like what a and we get there and I'm like the vibe in here was different than I expected 60% of the people in this room trained yeah so I'm like this is a you know 20,000 people in one room room so many sweat outfits right and I was I thought of it like we were going to a concert or like a sporting event yeah where it's not you don't go to a baseball game and you go these are 80% Scouts and minor league players that's not what happens they're fans yeah I was looking around I would say at that time realistically 20% of people had cauliflower ears you go to the bathroom and I'd be like everybody in here could murder every everybody in here is the lead of the action film right thing starts I sit down I'm like different vibe uh instantly being like let's not as a group of like Stone sissies get in any sort of altercation don't look at anybody guys just just watch the fight have a little fun we get in there we're starting to get jacked up the walkouts you're like what a [ __ ] blast I was like oh this is the best the first hit where it sounds like somebody open hand slapped cold meat where but it was a closed kick to the face but like if you ever like just like slap something in in a bathroom mhm where you think like oh something is hurt every human instinct in you goes like this no stop this stop this yeah and then they keep going and you watch the faces turn into mashed potatoes and you're like you watch the legs swell and then you you're going into the strategy where you go like he's got to block the leg kicks yeah and then you're like your arm up you at a certain point you're like throw in the towel just throw for who both all of us throw in for America please everybody for the global throw in the towel it's so BR give me Jiu-Jitsu where you're like they're going they're rolling no breaking bones right right they're rolling the ra calls stoppage not up to it's not up to a fighter who's doing this to support his village or his family to say like ah you have gotten my Armen in compromised position I tap the decision's not yours there should be a guy who sits like in a tennis judge's seat who just goes like that's enough enough your arm is in like you'll and the guy goes I would have got out don't care doesn't matter cuz if you didn't we have now been conditioned watching that to watch a man kick another man have the man's leg snap and we go I go like this now when it happens like yeah well it was a great Block it's not a great block this is a devastating leg injury watching it hearing it feeling it I got to tell you I've been to a few with him and I just every time I do this a lot [ __ ] when you feel somebody the the the hardest ones to watch for sure the easiest ones to watch are light anything lightweight yeah anything lightweight because they're both kind of hucking and throwing but when you watch heavy weights yeah it's different oh my God it's crazy it's absurd I've never seen a heavyweight boxing match I can imagine that it's the same I I don't know why that feels different to me and I know it's not but the amount of padding and I'll tell you the other world we're getting into that's crazy is that bare knuckle boxing yeah I've seen this a few times online yeah it's not only back it's popular it's it's I I argue it'll probably be as popular at some point as UFC me too yeah I think it'll be the Takeover every fight somebody dies the faces post fight yeah are horrific yeah they quite literally look like if you ever did like a movie with like special effects and you go to like the weird room where like the people are and they have to be like we have to do like a cast of your lips and you're like thanks and you're like whoa what are all these faces and it'll be like a nose over here like you'll do interviews and I'm like you straight up missing teeth yeah and they go like yeah they got punched out these people have the brain power in that moment to go like yeah he caught me with the right hand what in God name is happening man I'm scared for I'm scared for what that and by the way we're worried about football helmets not being protective enough now they we those like goofy cones yeah but but but they people beating each other with raw fist that's what I mean I was like whoever's over it's fake CU I'm like we are pretending to care about this safety MH soon it'll be on the same network yeah yeah 100% you know ESPN eventually is going to be like of course they will let's do this full time well well they did a thing for a while which was uh they tried to do the reality show they might still have it but I was working out my garage and I turned it on cuz I wanted to have something to push MH it was men standing across from each other holding onto a bar and slapping each other in the face with a bunch of like hand powder I've seen this it was slap boxing slap slap boxing I've seen this it was it was like their story yeah they're not athletes uhuh these are just guys that are good at slapping but also some are yeah others that I saw were guys who are like they didn't mention this in the interview but got out of jail have a math problem have two kids you slap me I get five grand I fall I only get four yeah you fog I at 12 I'm standing up you're not an athlete uhuh you're just willing to get slapped in the face because you need money in a very significant way and you go like I can get behind an athlete who trains and go like I know it is brutal but it's an art form and they're really working at it and they're mixing jiujitsu with wrestling if we're in the world where pretty soon it's breaking bottles over Fool's heads it's two guys and they go like all right which bottle you gonna take I'm gonna break that over your head if you don't die you break that over my head and the pregame interview is like his right hand's weak man when he breaks it it's not gonna hurt my hand it's not GNA hurt he's taking like bottles like this to the face before this is not the first time we've seen him take a triple pain green glass bottle to the face know when it hits it's like what you would expect they go blood got you like that was as gross everything he had just said and hyped me up for I saw what I expected to see a 300 lb fat guy hit him in the face his legs wobbled he fell down he's concussed yeah it's bad his brain is broken the future of it the future of it is scary and I got to tell you I'm blessed that we do [ __ ] work with cameras toally we're [ __ ] kids with cameras sure um I want to tell you I
