I'd go anywhere Anytime Anyplace for free and I knew the free would get her and Charles are you a hustler yeah baby I am a [ __ ] every sense of the goddamn word crazy question what a crazy question to ask someone such a strange question I don't know it was Dana White Hustler are you a hospital okay so you hustle right yeah even when your leg hurts Joshua me too the only difference is that I had to deal with overwhelming anxiety which I have now pretty much got under control what start well that's another thing just just going into the fight because everything was like a fight to me right so you were constantly yeah so when I was a kid and we were Van Nuys junior high school and one of the Chicanos telling me off we'd I'd meet them in the back of the gym 500 kids would show up and we'd go at it I take them out I'd wrestle them down boom wrap up it was it really and it happened 30 times people would challenge me the kids would come and I always had a sense of dramatic you know one time I knew I couldn't beat this kid there was the bleachers he was standing there I went up on the beat bleachers and I did a Superman punch I dove off the beaches and hit him like that and knocked them out you know really I went this way that way and he went out yeah I didn't know it was a Superman punch I used the bleachers as a as a launching pad for my punch that's a creative maneuver yeah I'm a creative guy I get it I never gotten any street fights like that yeah I avoided them all one time yeah I was smart but yeah my dad died I get it I didn't feel the punches I didn't feel nothing yeah I got shot right now I chest I didn't feel it you got shot in your chest yeah what caliber 22. oh so it stayed why did somebody shoot you yeah it was a gang fighting guy brought a couple of guns and
