He started out a guy who would be a regular on a radio show. it was funny man he's a good writer he's a really funny right like he wrote for this character and This is what happened. he did all these impressions and at the end he would do this this act he had his act and then

They don't think you should ever do it. 50s and 60s and then your 70s, your balls are not going to work so good and you can make a choice. They do them. But he fucking unlocked his genetics. Yes, you do. Greg Valentino told it to you straight.

1:28:23 One of the all-time greats. I had him on. Now, that picture on the right is also what he used to look like. For me, that's my look. He's got muscles in his face. Yeah, there's muscles in your face. I forget what the thing is called. Yeah, it's really good for you. There's something about jaw strength that correlates to total body strength. what i have what is it called jaw jaws are sized that's what it's called what I have. What is it called? Jawsercise. Jawsercise. That's what it's called.

1:31:01 I don't want a droopy face. How is it? Pretty good. Back in the day The foreman grill It was the best thing. You get that good sear. Everyone thinks I'm joking. No. I love that shit. I've been talking about the Foreman Grill. Everyone thinks I'm joking. Like, look at that little grill, Man, I'm just trying to be... That weighs nothing. Yeah. Even that's not unrealistic in the Cherokee.

1:33:24 That's wood. I love fire. It tastes fucking good. I have heard of so much. There's nothing wrong with that. What temperature your food is and it tells you how much pellet to put in you don't have to have a check They make the pellets out of, like, if you were going to make this desk, For real. I love that fucking thing. But it's so exciting Yes Yeah, and there's something about,

1:36:14 It's like an exciting thing, too, because success in life was not guaranteed back then. What is that? Food feels better. And you're smelling that clean air. I have bird feeders at my house. He's a fucking champion birder up in Maine. And he finds them And birders They get so excited. I've only been to Mexico, which is fucking unreal to me. Gatorade.

1:39:11 Of course. They're so unpredictable. I don't even know these people, but they make these things. and put them in a Listerine breath strip container, I gave one to Tommy Segura He was thinking Across the ocean That's fucking amateur shit You have to time your drugs It just Probably Yeah And then the world starts You have to get on the plane. That's the problem. And then once we got on the runway, it's just.

1:40:53 So anyway, I had a breast strip or two. And their accounts of coming over to America and to Mexico, you know, fucking hundreds and hundreds of years ago. all the diseases the europeans came over here with and it killed 90 of the indians that lived here bringing the fucking plaga. And there's always been this wonder. look like when the images and the hieroglyphs of the Mayans drew of them, they look very similar

1:44:09 Fucking haters. Yeah. Thank you, though. Have you ever thought about opening a restaurant? want there's no menu it's just what i give you yeah there's no set anything right you might That's like Like this object, this rare sculpture. Lex Friedman. scallops and clams and mussels and shrimp like yes like motherfuckers were ready for that right Healthy or

1:46:59 Yeah But my body's like, hey, fuck face. Yeah. I've been trying to dial it in with the food. you said okay and then the next day i walked i walked around the track like twice and my fucking that is literally what you were doing. It's ridiculous. My fucking mind is actually fucked. Bro, he inspired me. Well, I wouldn't say honest. He became something

1:50:31 Yes he does look hot I mean Yeah. I think he's the only one with those calves. And John's going to move up to that heavyweight division It 100% depends. Not just in MMA, in all of sports. And the hardship he went through. they arrested him and sent him back to the fucking desert. and it didn't work out well. Like Francis hit him with some shit. That team that he's got now

1:53:34 Stay calm But yeah they hate on him That is the main sport that I follow at this point in my life. Oh, yeah, I get it. a full arena too. a year and a month In Jacksonville. I have to fly into the arena. Yeah, it was crazy because it was outdoors. Because sometimes it was hot as fuck out there too I mean, Anderson Silva is definitely good with his hands

1:55:39 Exactly No, once you start getting cracked. And when those guys, when their ability to take a punch goes away, it's not much they can do because the sport kind of requires you to eventually get hit. Rashad knocked him out with one punch. He waded through the fire just to get to you. in the fucking kitchen on Spike on a TV this small. It was basically a draw.

1:57:56 Guys like Babalu, Tito Ortiz. A woman. One of the best fights of all time. That fight was nuts. Yeah, it was amazing. You see how fucking John Wick passed me. I miss Wick. Blade 2 and 3, they get a little sloppy. with Blade 1 Blade 1 Yeah Blade 2 and 3 They get a little sloppy Are doing all these A while back now, but just give him a chance to get jacked again.

2:00:24 I didn't see it. Those are always good. Just give him another chance folks Come on Hollywood What with somebody else playing I think it should be Wesley Snipes What is this? Is that what you're saying? Announced that Blade, who's been asking for the big screen. I'm okay with this. That looks like a young Nino Brown right there. If they don't have Wesley now.

2:02:12 I think you should give Cause he's a day walker I was a fan of the comic book back when I was a kid. of any fucking movie ever. like, what the fuck? What's going on? And then some blood hits his face. He's like, what is this? Perfect. They made Blade after Wesley Snipes tried to get a Black Panther film made in the 90s. Because that movie was a good movie.

2:04:52 Yeah. I think it's a great movie I end up liking him a lot. Before that, they had Eric Bana, right? But when the Hulk went to CGI, the first guy, I think, was Eric. he was still ripped of course he's ripped He's a big fella I bet he's still jacked Well he's always gonna be big He's fucking like 6'5", right? Yeahive, yeah. Well, he's always going to be big.

2:06:38 That's not now. What does it say? You're at the bottom. But the problem is, it's you. Think about your health. We're here for a short time. I mean, You see I told you that shit looks that good can see if you can get a video where it showed his face looks He got his COVID shot What's that? Is that like Conan or something? I think that's from one of the Conan movies.

2:09:21 but you can tell there's something missing in the way well just the look he's just so brooklyn An Italian guy Yeah Fucking enormous It wasn't Arnold But Yeah, I'm pretty sure he's Hawaiian. Really friendly guy. I was like, fuck, yeah, because it was more realistic. Look at that. Come on. Quentin Tarantino, just give him a e howard was a super depressed crazy guy who, I think, I believe he lived with his mom and just

2:13:13 That's what art is. whatever pain that that guy went through that he was experiencing when he wrote those books i was I have them to this day on my shelf on my wall. I was happy. And there's just – that movie with Conan was great. It wasn't, the books were dark, man. Also, Christian Bale. Daniel Day. True Romance Rest in peace No Something like that.

2:17:10 Who murdered Christopher Moltisanti. have to this day in my little shrine in my studio oh I fucking loved him it He was like fucking real deal. That's an NFT right there. I have no idea what any of you are saying. I'd rather be simple, to be honest with you. But then someone took those. That doesn't mean anything like that. What do they want? Why do some people get it and I don't?

2:19:47 It's fucking ever changing. They predict. How do they measure that? i was just in my head i was trying to get a good question to see if like there was be a story about Let's find out That was the wind. That's not bad. Couple good years How do Farmer's Almanacs predict Huh. Actual meteorologists don't agree with the pseudoscience of the almanacs. For those methods, this shouldn't come as a surprise

2:23:27 it's gonna rain which show? Somehow they're able to predict whether it's going to be three or four feet, And then that's how it's telling you? Imagine if you lived 200 years ago and no one knew what was coming. They could tell by the back It was specifically You didn't know what was coming. Yeah, one of those giant satellite dishes. This was like the early days.

2:26:24 Yeah, weird shit. They would get the news from back would get all kinds of foreign fucking news. Yeah, weird shit. You can't put it on the side of any house. the WWF pay-per-views yeah we were watching I wasn't we weren't we weren't I was watching mad That the biggest producers Because like if you're a guy When he comes on the TV ESPN maybe I think that for a while I don't know if that's true now and like Wolverine. Yeah. That's it. Yeah.

2:28:36 But there was something about You have to find the right spots to jerk off. Now these kids, they don't know. With the fucking phone Everyone's You had on your hands Woman might have Then I saw someone Weightlifting gloves You hug and I get caught out there. Yeah, okay. No more hugging? They were telling people to fuck with masks on. We have a, do we have it in the other room?

2:31:52 What the fuck is going on in this life? on life you're a different human what do you mean a hundred percent you've had I'm taking those steps You were right about that. if you work on your other side, it actually helps your dominant side. And many, many mixed martial arts fighters can do that. I'm excited to have him in here Before he ever got into MMA

2:34:27 Yeah, and, you know, people don't realize, like, you're seeing Wonderboy now at 36, 37 years old. to hit why is why is your el romero so fucking like it's unbelievable was he literally a fucking The Cuban athletics program For sure people were like, holy shit, Low round. and I would always give him advice, and he would bet on the fights. he was good the lee murray fight and i mean he fucked up tony fricklin over there he was so

2:38:18 know dudes are trying to kick you in the face and punch you in the face and like he's fighting people that are not quite good enough you know like the Nate That was that. Fuck that. It's over. Let him do what he. Fuck it. He got knocked out. Fuck that. Well, when you watch the punch, I mean. He didn't look good. Yeah, he didn't look good. He was small.

2:40:25 And I was saying this to people. That's real. With Snoop Dogg Mario's back in our lives And he's making a shitload of money I just want to chill for money. Holler at your boy Triller There's a little bit too much Okay Yo At Chichen Itza What? Have you seen the video, Jamie? That's horrible if that's true. They shut it down. I couldn't go He's surrounded by bodyguards.

2:43:42 because he was doing so much drugs that they had to make sure he had a pulse? it's like Nuke. everyone was hooked on Nuke. Oh there it is Maybe This CGI was shitty Like old King Kong movies Exactly I love? Yeah. Bad is really good sometimes. Right, because it's funny. Like old King Kong movies. No. Remember that This Yeah And then became a god. Who won?

2:46:08 It was over When they trick you If they're making anything new, holler, please. Those guys make some fucking incredible movies, man. That was one of my moves That's the wrong answer That's sad with a fucking samurai sword. with the driving gloves. with them little tiny shoes. guys dressed up like Bruce Lee. Yeah, man. but it's the other version of that.

2:48:04 Like a karate gi as opposed to like a jiu-jitsu gi. Like, heavy shit. Yeah, but like a light gi, if there was such a thing. Like a karate gi. Count Maeda brought it to Brazil in the early 1900s and taught it to Carlos Gracie and Elio Gracie. and became, in my opinion, the most important family in the history of martial arts is the Gracies. i believe what do you think about aliens so many things been paying attention to the news all this alien shit that's happening

2:50:31 And now everybody, they're more interested in being negative than anything. Yeah. and have the people around me very happy. We just have to understand what this is all about. There's choices to be made. I think you probably inspire thousands and thousands of people to change their lives and to live a better, more healthy life because they saw you doing it.

2:53:08 Well, not only that, you carry it with you on the road. Hell yeah. That was a good experience, bro. Keep going. Smash through that shit. You can be better. 420 special. Enjoy. No you're the best Do your best
