How Jiu Jitsu Took Over The World | Unsubscribe Podcast Ep 274
137m 50s
This episode of the Unsubscribe Podcast features hosts and guests, including Steve, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner and gym owner, discussing a range of topics. The conversation opens with a recap of a previous episode featuring Funaki, a 76-year-old Japanese English teacher who went viral. The hosts flew him and his daughter to Texas, where they dressed in cowboy outfits, went shooting—Funaki impressively grouped shots—and got a Texas tattoo. The story highlights cultural exchange and humor.
The discussion shifts to military experiences, with Steve sharing his Marine Corps deployments to Iraq in 2003-2005, including being shot and returning to duty the next day. Another guest recounts a 16-month Army deployment during the surge, and they delve into a detailed story about a World War II veteran who served with Merrill’s Marauders, survived multiple campaigns, and later fought in Korea and Vietnam, earning the nickname “The Fighting Preacher.”
Steve then talks about his martial arts journey, starting with Thai boxing as a kid, transitioning to BJJ, and winning a world championship at brown belt before briefly quitting. He now runs eight schools and aims to create a more inclusive environment, contrasting with the aggressive training culture. The hosts also discuss recent fights, including Bam Rodriguez’s knockout and a UFC main event where a fighter was allowed to continue despite vision loss, sparking debate. Sponsor ads are woven throughout, and the episode ends with reflections on martial arts history and philosophy.

The first time I met I'm rolled with him and he goes, "You're jujitsu's f***ing gay." I go out and find homeless people and I give them LSD and I'm like, "I'm like the cops, veins are made of copper." Holy s***, I feel so good now! Super man! Oh, it's the killer apple. Oh yeah. Hi everyone. Welcome to the unsubscribe podcast. I'm joined today by Eli DoubleTap, bad electrician, Steve Hargett, myself donut operator. Thank you so much for being here. What's up? Look, we got another Asian in the house. Holy s***, we're taking over since that last time. Are we our operator? What? Are we our own operator? Yeah, he's our own operator. Oh, he's our own operator. I can't own our own operator. This is me, man. Yes, actually. I can just put an operator here. It's me and a bunch of f***ing minorities on this podcast. The Asians are taking over here. Oh man, I would like to know while we're talking about it, what happened after the podcast with those sweet Asian people? Wait, hold on. What happened? We had two Japanese or two people, man, when was Mr. Fukunara Fukunami? Funaki. Yeah. Funaki hasn't been to the United States in 50 years. This is a 75, 76 year old man. So why does that matter? You'll see. Okay. You'll see. So a video went viral, was that in the last year, right? Yeah, it was December of last year. And it was a YouTuber, Adam, that was, he travels the world and he goes to that rule outskirts of one of the Japanese locations, like North and Tokyo by two hours. And this old man just cleaning his little school and it was like English teaching school plus a little cafe and he's like looking at him and he's like, oh, he waves him over and they just started a conversation and Adam ended up hanging out with him for. Two days and bro and he came down with his daughter and it was some of the funniest, funnest moments and they are just sweet hearts, but they were not ready for anything. Even the daughter's lived here for four years, but she wasn't used to so everyone being so welcome. We're like, it's all like talking very loud. So they come onto the podcast, the dad starts talking and we don't know where the stories are going and they're just comedy. He speaks English because he's an English teacher in Japan. Yep. And because I mean the only thing we knew about him is that that thing with his English school with viral and so we're like, okay, let's have him on and see what he says. He talked about living in New York being a taxi driver and getting bill jobs and then at the end he's talking about, he got, I got a story like to this is awesome. Do you know what they do with New York and then he went back to Japan. He opened the first Benihana in the United States and they made that story and he actually, they picked him because he was Asian. He's a Japanese man. He cook and they're jumping. He's a food. Very strong accent. Amazing. And then, yeah, we were just laughing our asses off and you flew him here to be on the podcast or he moved back here. No, that was even cooler was, we got extremely lucky. I seen that they just started their new Instagram page for the cafe and it's apparently doing really good. So I shot him a DM and was like, hey, if you're ever in the United States, we would love to have you on the unsubscribed podcast, think it would be a blast. The daughter, Nanako replies and she's like, oh, actually, my dad's going to be coming visiting for his 76-78th birthday next week will be in Texas. It's like, fuck in perfect, whatever you need, we'll buy your tickets, we'll get you a hotel, like we would love to have you both on. They show up wearing cowboy outfits, like they were just having the truth. That's typical Asian tourist vibe. Wait, there were cowboys? They dressed like cowboys for this. And now the dad has his store, which is really, the cafe is very America, like American flags. Elvis, he loves America, so that's what he wanted to have in Japan. And that's why when they were coming out here, we took him shooting, we took him, and homie was terrifying on a gun, something like that kind of dude, that level of an old 70-year-old Asian man is going in the zone, never shooting a guy before, I'm like, oh, hold it here, here. He's like, okay, ready. Just figure on the trigger, pointing at it. Yeah, and he just, he goes to the 20 rounds, I was like, oh, that was really, really good. And I point to the target, like, holy fuck homie. You just… He's on… Oh, dude. And he's on… And grouped. Yeah, no, straights. Even the range cadre. They were like, what the fuck? I was like, I don't know. And then there's some stories that he left out. Yeah, for sure. But then they fired a whole bunch of different weapons, had food, and then they went and got his first tattoo. He got a fucking tattoo. What? What did you guys do to the… Can't help it. We love bringing on four words in the podcast. Arnie, they did. They brought us a toaster. Yeah. Oh, and they brought us little, like, Lucky Charms. Hell yeah. Lucky Charms. What show brought you? What was the tattoo of? Texas. Oh. Just a little… And on his arm, like, right here, which I was supposed to… I doubt it. There's like a big no-no in Japan still, isn't it? Very big no-no. Especially a rural part where he's from. There's, like, not tourists and stuff. He's probably not going back, though. Well, I mean, I'm pretty sure the Yikuz is not branding themselves with the Texas outline either. So, I mean, to be fair. And he went, oh, when we go, because we are going to all go there together. Everyone says to come stay his place, but he knows the sumo wrestlers that come from the Yokozuna. He's one of the Yokozuna people here. I got that people here. Yeah. You're like, I ain't driving. I'm driving America thing. It's not my fault. I'm good. And that was Japan's Steve. Hi. How are you doing? Well, I was going to go further into that story. Where are you going to stay? His English school? Home. They turn the upsters into a little, I guess, like a staycation area, what are we called now? Bread and breakfast? Yeah. House. The gang teaches English. Yeah. So, we are learning a new words today. So, it's a A is okay, but the A make it offensive? Yeah. Correct. English. So hard. I'm going to ask what everybody's often did come on the other day. I mean, they hung out the next day Connor did ask her out on the podcast because dude, her dad, even for the Adam video that went viral, her dad is talking to Adam and he's like, Oh, are you single? He's like, Yeah, he's like, my daughter, you should marry her. Whoa. Yeah. Very beautiful. You should marry her, though, then you can have a Japanese wife. I was like, Oh, man, his dad does not give a f**k. So Connor then asked her on a date and she's like, Yes, but it was when we all went after shooting. They all like set an eight and then they had to leave to Dallas. So that was their quote unquote date. It was fun. Do Connor got shit wrecked that dinosaur area? Shout out to a boy. Dude, he was starting to get there when he asked her on the day to kind of take your delta on date. Yep. He was doing what we got to the bar. The king of the hills, like really popular in Japan, isn't it? And he's like literally the walking personification of Dale Gribble. Like, I imagine, I imagine it's quite the catch over there. They don't understand each other.
But yeah, man, that was a good ass time. - I really enjoyed interviewing those people, like we were fucking laughing our asses off that entire time. Oh, sorry. (laughs) - Looked over there was a quiz behind me. - Nothing. - Okay, now, now Steve. - Yes. - Hi. - This is, this is your friends, Steve, if my jujitsu coach, you live up there? - No. - No, no, no. - It wasn't Austin. - No, yeah. - Oh, I actually went an hour and a half away from here. - Oh, no shit. - No, I was like, yeah, I can just drive. Fuck yeah. - So if you guys want to come there, hour and a half, train. - Yeah, that's not good. - The gang does jujitsu. I've been trying to make that happen for three years. See how it goes? - I'll do it. - We did it every one day. - We've done boxing now like three times. - Huh? - You do some grappling? - Yeah. - I'm a grappling in a long time. Six time world champ? - Oh, not me, no, not me. - Seven time world champion? - Two. - Two. - Sorry. - Eight time world champion Steve. - 12 time. - He's like, don't do that. - So you're a fifth-degree Dan black belt in Brazilian jujitsu. - It's a third. - Fifth-degree. (laughs) - It's a six-way-dise-changing style. (laughs) - It's like barging it out in the other direction. (laughs) - We get out of here as a two-year-old liar. - Yeah, Steve the liar is what you're gonna be known for. - I mean, it wouldn't lie in this kind of runs in the industry, so it wouldn't be. - It wouldn't be shocking to anyone. - How old are you right now? - 42. - Okay, that Asian. - Look, yeah, I was like, I don't know. - It could be, it could be 30 to 60. - Yeah, anyway. - It's one of the range. - Yeah. - You have a wise eyes. - I get that. - It's 'cause there's a quick thing. (laughs) - It's awful. They're thinking, it's awful. - So you're not falling asleep, he's just, he's a satiety. - Damn, you've done, what, Jiu-Jitsu for how many years? 20? - Yeah, almost 20. - That's. - Yup. - Dedication of the graph. - First time, first time I met him, I rolled with him and he goes, "Your Jiu-Jitsu is fucking gay." (laughs) - I like this guy. (laughs) - God be honest, you gotta be honest with people when you're-- - It's the only way. - In you're in guard. (laughs) (laughs) - Your Jiu-Jitsu is gay. - You're the one on bottom. (laughs) - Ironically, that was actually true. (laughs) - So what got you into it? - Actually, a friend, it was after I got out of the Marine Corps. - Thank you for your service. - Wasn't everyone here in the military? - Yeah. (laughs) - That's why we do it. (laughs) - You tried to like pass it off and be a little longer. (laughs) - Now there's two people on the podcast that actually deployed. - Yeah! (laughs) - I love thinking people. That's a normal thing, it's like, well it's just like, give it to one of them. - Yeah. - Double in, give it to the next guy. - Double in, give it to the next one. - I usually just say, it was my pleasure. - But it kind of like-- - You work at Chick-fil-A now? - It was my pleasure. (laughs) - Okay, so you got Marines? - Thank. - Did you do combatives in the Marines? What's it called? - Oh, a MacMap. - Yeah. - Yeah, but I don't know that I would qualify. Not really. - It pissed off a lot of Marines, but I'm level one certified. - Well, before we got out of the Marines, so I was in 29 Palms, which is sort of like Hell on Earth. - It's a butthole, it's there. - Yeah, it's just like-- - Well you'd-- - But it's good. - What's that? - What's that? - It's Mojave Viber. They had like a Urban, they set up like-- So after we came back from the first tours I racked, they're like, we're not training correctly. So we need to change this. So it was part of that first group. What year's were your deployments? - 2003, 10 months, and then 2004 and five. - As the Luzha, I'm guessing you were pushing there. - No, so we were on the Syrian border. So the invasion was first, and then we stayed. So Al Nazaria and Najaf were like our big ones. - Oh, okay. - And then it was on the Syrian border as a Al-Ambar province, but it was still like, Hussabah was kind of where everything was happening there, but then they were also flying us to like Aditha, the River cities, like we're in Babylon, based out of Babylon for a little bit, like running out of there. - Yeah, we were in the Dialar River provinces where I was out over there. So you were in a different area. - Yeah. - Beautiful area. (laughing) It was, were you in the army? - Yes, sir. - Oh, okay. So when we went to Babylon, were you ever in Babylon? So it was an army base, but the Marines were running operations out of there. So when Mattis came up there, they flew us there to guard the base, because we didn't trust the army to do that. - Go to heaven. (laughing) - So there's a palace on top of the hill, and that's where they put us. So every time that you wanna go eat, you're like down and walking back up the hill. - Oh, God, yeah, that would have been rough. I had to live in a castle. - Yeah, on top of the hill. You had to walk up the hill. But anyways, we had, we created like a slingshot between the pillars, and we're launching things at the army tents, 'cause there's nothing to do all day. What can you do? (laughing) - Did I tell you about when we, me and Ethan and Zach went out to Fort Campbell? Huh? So this is a legend, it's not officially confirmed, but it reminds me of what you just said about not trusting the army. So Fort Campbell, obviously, 101st army base, they used to store nukes there. And we went and we toured the, the nuked facilities and like the tunnels and stuff where they stored all the nukes. And that's an episode of Habitoli Fat over on Pepperbox. But apparently back in the day, it's an army base, but the Marine Corps was in charge of guarding the nuked facility. - Military history, guy. - And over the nuked facility was a no fly zone. - We're gonna dress Connor for this skit. - I don't, I don't like this. - Don't look at my (beep) - I'm not gonna. If my attorney showed up looking like that, I'm going to jail, yeah. I hope the Mike picked up my knees popping. (laughing) - I just think it is very comfortable. So I'm fully comfortable right now, dude. I'm fully comfortable. You can't get more comfortable than this right now. Whether it's workouts, golf, travel, being outside or weekend plans with the friends, just being outside in general. You know how it is summertime. I love being outside. - And every year when summer hits, I realize I need clothes that can actually keep up with all of that. (laughing) - Funny should say that, Brandon. But refreshing your wardrobe every summer, sure can get expensive. - Connor, where'd you get that sweet outfit though? (laughing) - It's all laughing. - I asked you a (beep) question. - I got it at fabletics.com using code unsub. - It's not code unsub. - Shhhh. - Why are your fingers so salty? - I went to fabletics.com/unsub to get up to 70 to 80% off. - When you signed up as a new VIP, when I signed up as a new VIP, what happened to the old VIP? - Funny you should ask, Brandon. - Dude, I took the quick style of quiz. It was so quick. - Did you select unsub when prompted? - Of course I did. - That's how you unlocked the offer, right? - That's exactly how you unlocked the offer. - That was a limited time offer. - Yes, so don't wait. - Again, that's fabletics.com/unsub for 70 to 80% off when you signed up as a new VIP. - Nothing goes over this thing. Period, there's fucking nuke series starting the Cold War. Marines are on guard, live rounds. Fort Campbell got a new officer in charge of the base, a new base commander. Take me up in a fucking Blackhawk or a little bird. I wanna see my base. Okay, fly me over that part. We can't, that's a no fly zone. I'm the Fort Commander. We do it over the fuck I want. They flew over the Marines for fucking shooting at him. (laughing) And it was just kind of like, that's what they were told to do. I don't want to do that. - That's just Jesus. - And the historian there's kind of like, there's no actual evidence that that happened. And I was like, yeah, I fucking bet because the base commander looks like an asshole. - Why? - So fast. - That's embarrassing. - Why? - Did you do that? - Why tell them in a quote, "I can do whatever the fuck I want you do." (laughing) - Well, we gave the Marines bullets and said, "Shooted anything that flies over." - Four stars. (laughing) - The restart. - Well, if you know that some Marines can't see your four stars while you're in the helicopter above 'em. (laughing) - Terrible fucking military bases. I did not miss that shit. - At all. It is weird, like when we do. Have you, did you watch the Pentagon episode? - No, but I heard about it. - Saw the, saw the cred. - Yeah, and you get a, like, meeting that high rank of people, you have that same mindset where it's like, what the fuck? 'Cause you've probably never talked to a general in your life. Maybe one. - Yeah. - And a lot of people just think you interact with generals or higher ups all the time. You know, fuck me. - Especially all of us. We're all, we're all, we're all e-form on the podcast. - Grunts. - Yeah. (laughing) - It's like, I never, I don't think I ever met an admiral in the Navy. - Yeah, I did. - One time. - Super rare. Like, and then,
You'll meet like maybe a one star, but now it's with it. - Yeah, but it's usually in like a specific setting. - I remember General Mattis was running when we were coming off of like, off a mission or something and he's just like, "Hey, we're gonna talk to you for a second." Like, holy shit. - Yeah, keep running, keep running. - Dude, I just see, that's the mindset. - He's like, "Oh, okay." - He were running, like, everyone's looking though. You're doing the side-by-side runs. Like, anything so they don't see you. - And so you're talking to these generals? - Well, they didn't think. - Yeah, well now, 'cause they invited us to, we were at, - Dang it. - 250? - No, the, I mean, even at the 250, who, retirement for? - Randy. - Yeah, Randy's retirement was like, "John, General George, so his retirement, "Hey, do you want guys wanna come out, hang out?" And that's on base and it's this entire event. But then you're just hanging out with the general of the army. - Right, right. - For the Sergeant Major of the Army. And then they were just cool, like, we're just all bullshating, having fun. And then other people like, "What the fuck?" - We've had people go like, "I'm out. "I'm actually out now." - Yeah, that's what it doesn't matter. - Fuckin'. - Holy shit. - It was just funny 'cause it's this mix of people that are there in a professional capacity and we just get invited 'cause he likes us. - Right, right, right. - So he was having a very professional conversation with people in uniforms and suits and then he sees us, "Oh, what's up, guys?" And he walks down and high fives us and gives us a hug. And they're like, "Who the fuck are these degenerates?" - It's so cool. - We're fucking pounding beers with him. And it's like, '04 and '05s are the bartenders serving. It's like his age serving us, Hell yeah. - Yeah, they're called majors and Lieutenant Colonel's is serving for all of the best. - Oh, that's the best. - He's like, "Man, what the fuck?" - Two scoops. - We're getting stopped at the gate. We're like, "Yeah, we're here for the General George's Party "looking like this." And they're like-- - Oh, that's the best. - No, you're not. And we're like, "Yeah, we are at this point." - They wouldn't let us in the first time. They wouldn't let us in and we had to make a call and then a full bird Colonel comes rolling up in a GSA and it's like, "Let them in now." And the fucking dude's like, "Oh, oh, okay." - Instant lights. - I mean, it is good for them. They shouldn't let you in. - Oh, for sure. - They shouldn't be stopping. - They shouldn't be not letting you in. - Well, that's what was weird the last one it was, we'd go up and like, "Oh, what's up?" - And we're trying to get to the event. It's just me by myself. And naturally, the Uber can't drive through the gate. So I hop out and I start to walk towards the gate. It's like, "Fuck, I need to find my paper." It's like, "Ely, Mike, oh, you're good." - Go on through. - Oh, I was like, "Fuck yeah." Hell, yeah. - It's just a weird experience now coming from like, enlisted sighted at a lower level and then you're seeing all that shit. - Like revenge of the grunts? - Yeah, yes, exactly. - And then like that how we run the shit now. - The house they have the party in is general Pershing's house up on the hill that every joint chief has lived in since Pershing. So like they walk in the room and they're like, "Yeah, so this is the elevator that General MacArthur had illegally installed against orders, so his mom could live here with him." Here's the phone that Eisenhower used to answer in the middle of the night to see how World War II was going. - That was really cool. - Bob Hope tore this wall down. - Yeah. - They're like, "This is, we call this the Bob Hope Room because this window is not original." Bob Hope said he just wanted a window there so they grabbed a saw saw and cut one white line. It's just like this window that's like 40 years newer than the rest of the house. - It's like, like this is awesome. - Oh man, good old time, so you were in for us. - When did you get out? - 2006. - Okay, so you did it for? - Yeah. - Okay, smart. - Yeah. - You think, well, it was the 9/11 that kicked it off for you. You're like, "I want to join." - Yeah, I think I joined in November of 2001. - Yeah. - Yeah, I think I joined in November of 2001. - So yeah, we're probably going to go to war. - And then you were doing that first push with no one knowing what the fuck's going on, which would have been like mob gear sometimes, or? - Yeah, it's funny 'cause I listened to, no, it was mob gear for I think 27 days. - What? - Gross. - Yeah. - Do the sweat, like the sweat. - Yeah, but what was interesting was we're sweating through them. So you have your mopsuit and then you have your flag jacket on and then you take it off at the end of the day and it's wet, like, yeah. - This is the best to protect me from. - Yeah, that's it. (laughing) - Hopefully it's the water, the water's going through it. - Just stanky. - So then you did that 10 times? - Well, so I went to boot camp in June, June of 2002. - Gotcha. - So our boot camp's 13, yeah, so I graduated high school and then left like two weeks later. So our boot camp's 13 weeks and then you go home for whatever and then we go to School of Infantry. And then we got done with School of Infantry, I think, December and then we went to the fleet and then we deployed like two weeks later. - Oh God. - So it's basically like, get your shit and go sit and quit. Then there's a quick turnaround. We're like, what the, okay, we're over there. - Then Kuwait and then God, you're running the M16A4s. - Yeah. - Namp, that was big old. - Yep, yeah. - As long as this. (laughing) - And then they're like, here you guys get A-cocks and everything that we shot previous was iron sights. - God, I love it. - Dude, when we got over there and walking into like one of the chow halls in Singaporeans, I'm like, why are they, what, we still make those? - Like M16, but still like it. - I like figuring it out. - There we go. - The Marine Corps did like, here's the shittiest stuff. Figure it out. - Go clear out a city with a mosque. - Yeah. - I think we can footlong the A-cocks. - Okay, there it's broke. - How do you laugh? The Marines got investigated after Fallujah for those A-cocks, all right? (laughing) - Have you ever heard that? - No. - There was like a legitimate inquiry into the Marines executing people during Fallujah because there was so many fucking headshots. And then the investigation was basically like, no, they keep poking out of windows and the Marines got A-cocks now. They're just fucking domine people. It's their drive and buy. (laughing) - This is so gangster. So he did after three tours you said? - Two. - Two, okay. - Yeah. - And these are nine to ten month tours. - So it was only 10 months the first time because they didn't have a rhythm yet. So we pushed all the way to Baghdad and all right, you're done, you're gonna go home, right? So the Marine Corps is an invasion force, not an occupying force. And then they just kept pushing us back, longer, longer, longer. Which was a problem? Because that's not the group of people that you want to be, can occupying any city, anywhere in the world. (laughing) That's true. - You can look no further than right outside the base. - Like this is wrong. (laughing) - Dead, broken, or pregnant, and all the bad guys are dead. There's only two things left to do. (laughing) I'm about to get B-A-H. - Yeah, I don't, hmm. So how long was the second one then? - Then it was seven months. - Damn. - So, Bush was like the war's over and everyone's like, yeah, we're going back. - I did one tour, 16 months. - Where? - Iraq. - Oh, shit. (laughing) - That's why we're like, where are you? - So we were in Baghdad or East Rashid was R-A-O. - Okay, it's not the same. - 'Cause you're on like a nice base with like a chow hall. - You're using a lot of words in him. - You're drinking, so you get to drink like, yes? - I, again, I was in a cob, we lived out. - Okay, I got a rotate every 22 days for showers. - Oh, okay, so you actually did a real stuff. - Yeah, unfortunately. - Okay, you can't. - Well, there's a lot of people that were there for a long time that were on like a nice base. Like our guys would get wounded and go back and be like, dude, this is incredible. - You guys got a dominoes? (laughing) - I got, when I got shot, I was on a mission next day 'cause I went to the wrong aid station. (laughing) Is that your fault or is that the-- - No, they kind of listened to it. It was, it was a fucked up day. It was mission two. We lost two of our own, two died. Six got sent home from a mortar, just one mortar just landed right on base. Shrapnel dumb and again, this is mission two and then they'll
I go this age station, I go there and then they're like, what the fuck, no, go this age station, I'm like, yeah, that sounds about right. I go, they do everything and I'm like, okay, well, I think you're good. I don't have a pat. I was like, all right, next day. Just right back at it. Quaifus, weren't you shot yesterday? Yeah. I got shot. No, no, no, no, no. (laughing) - How long had you been in before? - Two years leading up to that deployment because we stood up the unit. So it was two, three hearts. - Okay, you had a full turn around. When we first got to the unit, we had E4s as like, first arms. Just because it was a brand new unit, we were just like getting in people. No, like, hey, we got to build up the strike unit and then send it over. But when we deployed it was always, it was the. - The tip of the spear. So it's easy to shoot. And we lived out in sectarian each time so we never got to go to it. - No, okay. - We got internet was every 20 years. - Why was it so, I mean, that's the way to do it, though, to be honest. - Wait a minute. - It has its first, it went really quick. - Yeah, I mean, the distraction thing is not good. - No. - It's not good. So why were you there for so long? Was that just how you guys did your rotations? - What year was it? - This is the surge, so 2006 to 2009. - Okay. - It's the army thing. - Yeah, yeah. - That surge, so you would, they could only put 12 months as how long you could deploy it. Every army deployment was 12 months. And then the second you land, then they extend you for three months. So you have 15 months, but then I was at Vaughn, which fucking suck. That means I was out in country first. - Oh, yeah. - Get ready for my meals. - Yeah. - So I was like, uh, so. - That's the worst, too. It's like your second time out, and you're just like, this is gonna be a long. - But you get a 10 day break in between. - Dude, I still felt bad for the guys that, you're a month into a 15 month deployment, and that's when you're mid to relieves. So like, okay, go home now. So you barely like acclimate to anything, and then you're back home for 10 days, and then you're going back back. - Where they send you home home? - Yeah. Oh yeah, so for mid to relieves, you get to go anywhere in the world that you want to. - From Iraq. - Yeah. - Oh, shit. - Okay. - So then it's why you do your thing, and then you come back after your break. - Mmm. - That's 10 days. - Yep. - A lot of people went to Amsterdam. - Yeah. (laughing) - A lot of times I was like, what? - I don't know. - Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on. - Go on, go on, go on, go on. (laughing) - Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, so it's a completely different, like, rotation. - Yeah. - That's why I was like, oh, interesting. Seeing how long you would have to go for. Cause, so then it turned into seven months. So the first one was just long because of that. - Day at 12 months, it stayed 12 months until I think. - No, for us it was seven months. - God, that was the rotation for us. - Which is smart. That is a, I think that's the six months, seven months, and then you're back and you get a decompress compared to 15, 16 months of brutal on people. - Yeah. - Especially families, dude. - Apparently that's like World War II. It's just like, oh well, we're going until we fucking win. - Yeah, about a win. (laughing) - I was thinking about that. - You probably had no idea. I mean, what, you're the history buff. - What? - What was it like back then? - Well, it's like, so I mean, I just, I just-- - You know, clue when you're coming back. - I just did a video on, the part that blows me away about like World War II is, at that point in time, you have to realize, like, everybody thinks of like, the 1940s of like, 'cause you only see videos of like, people in cities. Like, you've got a good idea what, like, New York City looked like in the '40s, right? That's not most of the United States. - Right. - Most of the country at this point, especially the further west you go, is still 50 fucking years in the past compared to that. - I love dose, I love dose so much. - It actually, it tastes very good. - It looks like I'm drinking like a chunk of pollen that has oil mixed with it. - This is all you do once a day, that's it. - I am, I'm skeptical, but I'll give it a shot. - That's really good. - Yeah. - It tastes like very good orange juice. - So what's in it, actually? - Turmeric, organic milk fizzle, organic dandelion, root extract, organic ginger, root powder, and sodium and potassium, that's it. - Oh, orange juice concentrate. - I f*cking knew it. - Oh, and monk fruit. - You know, I'm just looking at the other ingredients list, like all the other sh*tts in it, and there's not a lot. It's basically just a f*cking supplement fact. - Let's be honest, modern life is rough on our bodies, and there's certain choices we can make that makes it rougher. - And if you've been feeling sluggish or just off, your liver might be trying to tell you something. - Stop drinking! - I've been trying to get off. - Pfft! - Dose for your liver is a clinkly-backed liver health supplement. - This isn't just another capsular powder. - Dose is a liquid supplement. - That's a supplement that takes the shape of its container. - It's taken in a daily two ounce supplement, and it tastes just like fresh, squeezed orange juice. - Zero sugar, zero junk, zero calories. - When you're ready to give your liver the supported deserves. - Head to dosedaily.co/onsub. - Or enter unsub to get 35% off your order, your first subscription. - Your body does so much for you. - How about you do something for it? - That's D-O-S-E-D-A-I-L-Y dot-co slash unsub. - So you have all these dudes joining the military that I've seen a car once. There's one rich guy in town that's got a Model T. I'm still riding a f*cking horse to school. Like I grow up in a log cabin with no power and no plumbing. And then you ship this guy off and six months later, he's a f*cking airborne soldier jumping out of the most technologically advanced plane on the f*cking planet. And I think that's a big part of why like that generation just he never really talked about a service. 'Cause imagine leaving that from your parents, farmers that don't even have electricity in their house. And you come back home like what was the war like? And it's like how do you explain to somebody like that without a PB? There's these giant f*cking planes and there's f*cking guns. - What's the name of the year? - Like, how do you even begin to explain? It's sci-fi to them. So like that's the interesting part to me, but like the dude I just did a video on, he's in Bible college trying to be a preacher. He gets drafted his junior year. And he like shows up and they're like all right. If you wanna be artillery go over here, medics, engineers, infantry, he doesn't even know what the words mean. - Yeah, exactly. - Because like there's no TB, nobody's seen, you know, saving private Ryan. He's no f*cking clue. So he's like infantry infant. That sounds babies must be able to do it. That sounds easy. So he goes to the infantry part. And the next-- - Give me a baby. Just break it or take care of it. - Next thing he knows, he's a f*cking leading a platoon. And they're like yeah, we're sending it to the Pacific. He's for the army. And they tell him they're like all right, your spearhead and this amphibious landing onto this island. And you're gonna be the first one f*cking there. So be ready. And he f*cking, Higgins' board, the f*cking door drops on the Higgins' boat. And he goes running out, f*cking guns blazing, but like nobody's shooting at him. He's like what the f*ck? And they get on the beach and there's just f*cking bad Japanese dudes everywhere. And they like start getting a little bit of, they get like a little skirmish or whatever. And then like they find out, oh, the Marine Corps got here seven months ago. It was f*cking Guadalcanal. And the Marine Corps already did there for like seven months. And but he thought it was like the moment. So he's like, okay, change the plans. We're shipping you to a different island. They ship him to New Georgia, which was basically Guadalcanal 2.0. And he fights all through the New Georgia campaign, which was f*cking brutal. His platoon gets f*cking cut. And his battalion gets cut off and surrounded for 30 days straight. No food, no water. He loses like 60 f*cking pounds. Comes back, gains weight in the hospital for like two months. They send him back out, gets surrounded again on the f*cking island. Yeah. And comes back, gets fixed up. And then while he's back at Guadalcanal, which is an airfield at this point, 'cause the US controls it. And it's like a major hub. They're like, we need people with extensive jungle combat for a top secret mission. And he had just gotten a letter from back. He got two pieces of letter back dated 14 months. One was from his parents, saying they were getting a divorce and the other one was from his fiance, saying she was leaving him. He's like, it's a f*cking, I guess, I'll go. Man, imagine that. I was like, at least I got mail today. (laughing) So like, his life. Go out there and kill some people. (laughing) So he's volunteer for it. They don't even tell him what he's doing. They're just like, get on the f*cking boat. I stick his ass on a boat. He goes to a Pacific Island and a Pacific Island. Then he's in Fuji. Then he's in Australia. He's like, what the f*cker you guys taking me? Then he winds up in India. Again, imagine somebody from the 19, this dude grew up in the. Do they have units or the whole unit's going? Or he's just. No, they took volunteer only. So he just volunteered with whoever the f*ck else. And they were making a new unit. And next thing he knows he's in India, again, dude from the 1940s that grew up in a log cabin in Michigan. And you show up in India. He's like, in his memoirs, he talks about like the street vendors and like everybody's poor and begging for money. He's just like, what the f*ck is going on? He's like, they kept putting us on these old ass trains. The British built a hundred years ago. He's like, I don't know what the f*ck is going on. Then they wind up at the Taj Mahal. Again, dude that grew up in a log cabin in Michigan. What the f*ck? Like, dude, that'd be wild. Yeah, you don't even know that I've seen a picture of it the first time you see the Taj Mahal's in person
like, wow, that's cool. All these poor people built that big titty building. This is impressive. Like, wow. So then they end up like training more in jungle warfare. And it was like, what, what exactly was the mission? He's, he was one of the first guys to be a Merrill's Marauder. Have you ever heard of that? No. Merrill's Marauders would go on to become the 75th Ranger Regiment? Oh, okay. Their first mission was 3000 guys that had exclusively volunteered. We're going to walk from India into Burma, like 500 fucking miles through the jungle. And then just conduct guerrilla warfare against the Japanese and help out China. For I believe they were in combat for seven months straight. And their only asset was just go in the jungle, fuck with the Japanese whenever you run out of food, water, and ammo call us. We'll air drop shit to you. And he lived in the fucking jungle for seven months. Yeah. So it did that. And then like the war finally ends and he goes back home and gets to finish college. But it was like, what are they just like to go back to college? To that walk again, you're walking. Didn't we? They covered 30, it was like a 30 day. Just if you were nonstop, it takes like 30 days to walk that. Now, not this, I fucking math with a little azimuth. And you're like, yeah. I think that way. And the maps are back then. They're probably not that fucking detailed either, which is wild. You sure? Dude, yeah. That shit blows my little shit. The more like that into so fucking funny, though, like they brought some, they brought, I think, I think nine or 12 Nisei with them, which were the American Japanese guys that had volunteered in the American forces. So they brought them to translate. And they're like their first big mission. They went out and basically the Chinese army was attacking the Japanese and pushing them back at this village. So they came around the backside at high grounds. So we're helping the Chinese at this point. Correct. Yeah. So we're helping the Chinese important. Yeah. And we come around the backside and fucking sandwich them. And we're waiting for the Chinese to basically push the Japanese out of this village. And they're going to fucking mow them down on the way out. Chinese weren't fucking getting it done. They're like the fuck if the Chinese can't push them back. Like we're going to draw a picture of that battle. It's like these guys are shooting this way, pushing these guys into these guys who are going to start shooting correct. Yeah. The Chinese weren't getting it done. Geometry fire. So the Nisei go out and they like tap the enemy phone lines and find out there's a big ammo dump in this village. So then they called in a fucking airstrike and blew the whole fucking thing up and basically just scrambled everybody and mowed down absolutely everybody. It's it was bad. So then after World War II, he finishes becomes a preacher for two years. And then goes back to college, get goes back to college becomes a preacher for two years. Then he gets reactivated to go to occupation duty in Japan. And he's like, can I be a chaplain now that I officially have my degree? And they're like, no. And he's like, fuck. So he goes back in his infantry. He's how much time has transpired from like five years. Okay. So five years later, he from trying to become a priest to killing all these people going back to be color priest. And then he talks about having to go back to Bible school as junior year. And he's like, yeah, I didn't fit in anymore. I go, yeah, I bet it's a bunch of fucking full school kids. And you've been running around in the fucking jungle for three years. Merkin dudes. What's up, fuck heads? Yeah. Yeah. It's a little different. Yeah, different perspective on life. Yeah. And so then he fucking goes, he's on occupation duty in Japan. And they get a hold of them. They're like, fucking North Koreans attack the South Koreans. Grab your shit. We got to go up there and handle it. Don't bother packing your personal stuff. It'll be like a week. It was not a war. Yeah. So he he shows up. He's one of the first dudes. He shows that he's one of the first dudes at the Pusan perimeter, which is like when the North Koreans had pushed them all the way down to that little tiny chunk at the bottom. He's there. And he gets sent out on guard duty. And they're like, just defend this perimeter. It's a safe area. Nobody's coming. He gets all his guys say he's got one platoon. He gets all his guys set up in like fortified fighting positions. And they're just fucking chillin hanging out with the boys. What rank is he now? He is a captain at this point. Okay. So he's a captain. He's in charge of this platoon. And he's like, through the field. God, it's fucking Korea. You can see 20 miles away. He's on binos. And he's like, there's a whole fucking formation. Like 100 dudes coming towards me. And he's like, he gets on the radio. He's like, I got 100 dudes coming towards me. They must be South Koreans. This is a safe area. They look the same. They get closer. He's like, Hey, they're carrying Japanese rifles, which is what the North Koreans are carrying at this point in the war. I know what they look like. Cause I fucking spent five years fighting them. It's a safe. It's a safe area. It's not down. And he goes back and forth with the fucking HQ like five fucking times until they're literally shooting at him. So they start returning fire. He winds up getting shot, runs back to the aid station, gets a fucking turn to get put on. So he doesn't bleed to death goes back out. And his his platoon ends up killing I think 400 guys and repelling an attack of 700 dudes. And he gets shot like multiple times ends up in the hospital. And while he's in the hospital, the standard operating procedure is if you're in the hospital for 60 days, they send your best back home to America. Day 59, he gets orders to go back out. You're good. It's like that's the extreme version of your story. And that dude, this is going to go back out, fights through the rest of the fucking Korean war. And then I'm not it's an hour and 20 minute long video. So I'm literally hitting. You got to go watch it. It's not even out yet. But it will be by the time this podcast comes out. Um, he fights through the rest of the Korean war goes back writes the fucking handbook on guerrilla warfare tactics and like a bunch of shit at the Pentagon. And then he's like, I want something different. I want to do cool shit. He's like, I'm sick of walking. I want to be airborne. He's like 42 when he gets airborne certified. And then they're like, well, you're airborne now. You want to be a green beret? Fuck it. Why not? Yeah, because of green beret like 45. And then he finishes out his career by going to Vietnam, where he advised lay oceans on how to combat communism for 36 months. So you see a, he's a green beret operating. He's basically McVease, I'm assuming live out with the people, they got the chaplain thing out of a system. This is called a part. No, no, no, then he went on to be the, um, the YMCA, uh, religious life on campus head for Texas A&M for 13 years went back to being a preacher. God, that his circle, his nickname is the fighting preacher is what they called him. Yeah, he's got a funny. When he was, uh, when he was at New Georgia, that first time, so they get surrounded that first time for like 30 days, he recovers, they go back out again, they get surrounded again. But this time, his unit has a couple like native guides with them. And the unit it was all guys that were already previously surrounded. So they like knew the game for the get. So like, they were literally out there just stealing all the rice that the Japanese soldiers had on them after they killed them. And then all the natives were being like, Oh, if we use a bark from this tree, it tastes like chicken, like they were having like fucking master chef competition. So you can make the best fried rice. Eventually, they started to run low on ammo. So they sent him and one of the guides out by themselves to like probe the enemy line and find a spot they could break out. And him and this guide, Beatie is his name. They go out and they walk right into a fucking ambush, get lit up by machine gunfire. And they like fucking high tail it out, they dive into the swamp. They hide in the swamp for a while, told you, they think they lost them. They get out all covered in mud, adrenaline so high, he's like, we need to see if we got shot, he checks Beatie, get all the mud off him. Okay, he wasn't shot. He checks himself. He's got a fucking bullet hole in his helmet. Didn't hit his head, fucking win around, went around the world, didn't hit him. He's got another bullet launched in the heel of his boat. His wristwatch got shot off. And he has like two more bullet holes in his clothes, everything fucking missed him. His native guide, indigenous guy, then asked him because he's like functioning as a chaplain to these guys also at the whole. So like everybody knows he's very religious. Beatie, the native guy is like, your God must be really powerful. Len, he's like, how can I like worship this guy? And he's like, yeah, man, just like, you can be Christian. Yeah, no problem. And he's like, okay, and then they like say a prayer together. Well, there's still behind enemy lines like on the side of the swamp. And as far as this indigenous guy is concerned, he's now a Christian. Oh, yeah, which from his perspective, he now thinks that he's fucking immune to bullets. And he starts fucking singing and dancing loud as fuck behind enemy lines. And Logan is like, bro, shut the fuck off. It doesn't work that way. So he's like, creative situation for him. I thought he was like, shot dude. Of course, he was like, you're just indigenous. So he's a little, Chinese or at that time,
that Pacific Island was. Yeah. Just you're covered in mud. You're looking at this white dude that just everything misses it. You're invincible. Yeah. Oh my god. He has a very good god. Look at him, man. I also be Christian. Yeah. The baptized in the swamp water. Holy shit. I feel so good now. Super, man. And then he's like running. Shooting comes back. He's like, oh, Christian got so good. It's like, yeah, you're not invincible home. What do you mean? Well, smooth sack summer isn't just about looking good. It's also about doing good things.

Yeah, you can't make that up. Well, I love those stories. And again, though, the mindset of that where you don't you have a mission. Yeah, but it's a very broad mission. You have to get here. Yeah. And then what? People are going to try to kill you along the way. You might find random shit or link up with other things. And you're just like, I guess, and this is all like 20 year olds. Yeah. That's what's crazy to me. And then it's a 30 day, 60 day. Like how long were they at like the battle of the bulge? No, I thought out my head. You're just free. That all the bulge was huge, though. Yeah. And massive. Are you talking about the 101st getting surrounded? Yeah. Like when you're cut off and then they're cut off for God, like, I mean, months at a time, sometimes. Fuck that. Then you have stories like that where it's absolutely crazy. Hey, so you should look into, uh, you were talking about water canal. Yeah. So our company was Charlie. Oh, really? Which is the company that fought off all the Japanese. Yeah. Henderson. Yeah. So it's like the only company in the Marine Corps. That is two guidance. How does half of that make you feel? Because they, well, you don't, you just buy a lock and up there. No, I say, it's funny and green. So the fuck you? Inside of Steve, there are two wolves. One of those things that's kind of fucking based. That just right right over my head. But that's, uh, but look, you should look into that because that's actually interesting. That's an interesting story. So is that those like with bass alone or with Edson's raiders? No, so the so Charlie company gets left alone here. And so this is where the Charlie comes in. Oh, interesting. They get surrounded by however, I'm not a history boss. Yeah. But you can figure it out. A lot of people. Yeah. They kill them all. They repel the attack. And then the next day, so Charlie is spelt with the instead of IE, it's like EY. So it's like a white flag that has a skull and crossbones. And then it's says Charlie. So then they fly this flag and they repel the attack and they like kept walking out. Fucking crazy. That's not all those stories. I'm just like, what the fuck? What the fuck? So you got back. You did your thing and then you're like, well, I'm gonna get into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. No, so I got back, got out in 2006 and then I went overseas and worked in Southeast Asia. That's a long story, but my dad was pretty connected in the military and government out there. Okay. And when I got, so I was raised over there and I was raised in Thailand. And my dad worked with the military. It's consulted in that area. So when I got out of the military, there were a lot of opportunities because there's a lot of conflicts in the South of Thailand, Philippines, obviously, a lot of shit going on all over the world. So the people that he kind of came up with were now running the country. Oh, shit. Okay. So I had an opportunity to go over there and then I worked in that region for almost six years. Nepotism. And then, you know, I'd be there probably 10 months out of the year, back here a couple months, and one of my friends was like, hey, you should go try this class. Walked in and did you do any, like Thai kickboxing or? Yeah, I actually started that when I was a kid. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's gangster. Dude, those are, these kids are monsters. Yeah, it's, but when, so when we were in, this is Marine Corps for you, they would have like, it's called pancreation, but it's basically MMA fights where you don't punch in the head. Oh, yeah, it's like the old, yeah, Vanderlei, like, but there's no like head punching. So like, Camp Pendleton will just have like, all right, you want to fight? Let's make brackets, and everyone could just go fight each other. This is how like bass root and white he did palms and it would really get delivered. But here was like no face, like no strikes to the face, not even like open. Yeah, well, have you seen some of the, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah, when he's like, they're like he'll, I mean, it's a punch. Yeah, it's a punch. Yeah, yeah, at that point. But then, you know, I, oh, this is great. Sign up and then some fucking dude would take me down and I'd know clue what the hell is going on. We'd probably solve this. I should probably figure this out. I'm good ride and tell I'm here. Yeah. Don't want to do with my legs, because they grab everything. So they have a little bit of that in the Marine Corps martial arts program. But they didn't really have like any training. Awesome. And then that's what got you into, like, Brazil and Jiu-Jitsu, you just fully went into that. Well, no. So then I started training and then they're like, hey, you can compete in this. That's like, that's incredible. And then you just, I think it just gives you something. Well, there's a lot of things that are similar to the military inside of Jiu-Jitsu, like one, it's hard for everyone. So it's like, it just sucks, right? There's rank. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can just look at somebody's uniform and immediately know. And you know who the thing is about them. Oh, yeah. I mean, that isn't as part of the military, where it's like, yeah, little small watery dude. Oh, shit, little small watery dudes got multiple bronze stars with the device. All right. Never mind. And most dangerous dudes, they always like unassuming. You're like, what do you do? Terry, talk about it. Yeah. Yeah. Terry. Yeah. Terry. Exactly. Great example. We had Kevin came out here. Kevin see owner of Q. He made the honey badger. He made. Oh, okay. Yeah. He came out here and we like, we did a podcast with him. And it was great. And then we had a party, a pre range day party for Cody and Brandon's range day. And that party was gone. Eli's like, we had to come back. Me and you were going to film one with Terry. I was like, the fuck is Terry? And Terry was like one of his friends. It was just sitting on the couch watching the whole time is, I don't know, five eight. Oh, he's five six probably. Yeah. Short dude kind of built a little wide. Just looked like a normal country boy like completely unassuming. I was like, okay, who the fuck is who the fuck is Terry? He's like, oh, that's the guy that they sent in to save Captain Phillips. Oh, shit. Terry's. Oh, all right. Yeah. No, he's couch surfing. Yeah. Terry's that's fine. He's got it. Here and him tell those stories were, wait, so he's one of the shooters. He was the guy that led the team that halo jumped into the ocean, got picked up by another ship and then tracked his ship down and then waited for all three pirates to have their heads in a port hole at the same time. That's crazy. Did you spoke up from a nap when he killed
And here in his perspective on like he's like, I don't know I was doing special forces shit I jumped into the ocean got on a boat and the captain was like, what are we doing? You're the captain of the boat now. He's like, I don't fucking know. I put a cap to the boat, but you're a captain We're like rank Nothing to me That's incredible and he woke up from the nap He talked about he's like, I was waking up from a nap and then walked up Extras and then the guys were like, hey, shots coming up. Uh-huh Well, that's dead, but that's why like the hour military training is so good Because you're just you're just training again. Yeah, this is real shit flying back at you All the time all the time. There's like nothing changes dude out of those so Presented when did you? Did you just fully go into it out the gate or is just like, oh with the competition and then grass and camaraderie you felt no Well, it's actually funny now because now we have eight schools And we actually have like a company But when I started it was like for me So I never I like I kept going probably because of competition, but I never thought of like I never wanted to teach people that like I never wanted to have a business like I had a job Which a lot of people I think in the industry don't so Like after actually after I I won a world championship at Brownbelt. So do you know the ranking system? Yes, it's like white blue purple brown black After that I just like stopped training No shit. Yeah, cuz we lived in like the desert in California, so there wasn't really Like higher level guys getting. I was just kind of athletic. I don't think I was really good And just like like the fight. So it's like I'm not gonna have a chance at as a black belt a lot of the people That's what's hard. I forget which It's like one of the show to corner original Japanese guys that brought martial arts to the United States It was one of his disciples. He just not having it equals at his gym and he was fucking talented But in that area, he was just he hit pinnacle and then he just was having hard time pushing himself Because all the other guys left and then he declined without those dudes that would really push him And he's like it sucked that that happened. That's why they came to the United States to have it It's so funny though because like now I think then Like so even inside of jiu-jitsu like So I got my black belt like eight years and then I just kind of stopped training and then my brother Got me to train with who is now my coach and these guys are like the most legendary brothers in like competitive jiu-jitsu But it's not even just about competition. It's actually like the mentality of training like I never knew how to train Yeah, I was just going to the gym and fight every day and like that's how to train But now like especially being older and give I decide to compete again like I know how to train I don't need to have like guys that are equal To me to improve that makes sense. Does that make sense? Yeah, there's like even inside of that it's like Even inside of that arc. There's a lot of confusion like most people don't actually understand it And then yeah, it's a really good point because you can over train people don't think about that even working out You can just over lift and then your body's like all train with you guys and just like not really be in shape, but Like still beat the shit out of me. Yeah, no, but it's like you it's so it's like really it's more about like efficiency Yeah, right or like being able to survive so like I can let Nick like literally beat the shit out of me and like I can still keep going Like I can still survive like not to be the shit with them until I get tired. It's like what's more what's more powerful? I can submit you or you can do nothing to me Yeah, exactly. Trust me. I'm trying which ones I tried asshole There's nothing worse than like he's like he walks into my gym for the first time He's like what do you and like we do like six-minute rounds? He goes oh just turn music on all right go ahead attack me It's just like me dead 10 minutes later Breathing out of every order. So I thought it was like there does a start till you're tired Like your technique doesn't start till you're tired. So it's like okay. That's a good way. Uh, who's the other one Atelier this as it's like I don't count it until the burn starts to happen lifting ways my Tyson with push or Muhammad I'll leave with push ups. There it is. Yeah, Muhammad push up push up he doesn't start counting push ups until he's at like at Muscle failure or whatever Yeah, I mean Well, because at the end of the day you have to it was actually for fighting it wasn't for competition. Yeah, so You don't get it timer. Did you get a timer and war? Yeah That's me going on for too long now. Let's let's just take a break Which actually didn't they do that in like World War one or two, uh, no, where were they like guys timeout trenches? Oh, that was okay. That's even more fun. Yeah, but even what didn't they stop at night or you know, I mean there's all these celebrated Christmas together And someone's like maybe we should just not follow those rules That'll be so unnerving though like middle of fucking trench warfare. You're like Ding ding ding time. Yeah Hey, what's up dog? Do you want to see me trigger realize autism? What do you do now for side gig work? Oh security security. Yeah for who? Well, well, we can hear what career box in boxing. Yeah, we're boxing for boxers. Yeah, yeah for box series You can bleep the name. Hey, so do you know who Jesse Bam Rodriguez is? Yeah, bam. Yeah, no shit. Why did he fight? Bam is Bam is one of the most terrifying new Mexican new Mexican. Yeah, he says it He's I've been with him. He does interviews are like start speaking to him in Spanish. He's like No, so when I I always say he has a Mexican way. Why did he fight? Well, he fought. Bam's last fight was Two months ago months ago. No, dude. It was Saturday night. Oh My god, he won. He better of one. Yeah knockout. Yeah, and he was facing the other guy The hundred no hundred. Yeah, another the champ at the next way class up. Yeah, cuz Bam's going up. This is his second, but he's not he's He's the best fighter of the world. I guess he was the inheritor of a new pot not Brandon cuz he doesn't cook It's me Notice how it didn't dent even against Connor's hard ass head. Yeah, I smell toast He's cooking the meal of his dreams with hex clad. Uh hex clad. How is your dream? Great. I cooked a grouchy sandwich Thanks to hex clad on ironically support this product So honest here's note we all use those they've replaced even my Cast iron skill and now I started using that over my cast iron. They're they make a big old walk I don't know I don't know the technical term for it, but the big like round one. No, it is. It's a giant walk But yeah, no, the walk dude get the walk dude. They they get hot as hell the heat distribution is Phenomenal too cuz like that walk like if you put it on if you use a gas stove Like somebody who knows how to cook and not an electric stove. I'll forgive it if you're renting but the heat distribution is so perfect you can drop an egg in and Not only does it glide around But it's so evenly heated all the way around make some fried rice in that walk Hmm, oh, and it doesn't stick thanks to hex clads Antis stick. What's the future called? Turbon ceramic and that's usually the big trade off with anything like this is Easy to clean trash to cook with or vice versa. This is like hey. We got you all in one Pan or pans so if you're planning on spending time behind the grill this summer Don't make it harder than it has to be stop losing food through the grates stop fighting clean up and Upgrade your back your cooking experience with hex clads barbecue collection For a limited time only our listeners get 10% off their order with our exclusive link Just head to hex clad.com slash on sub that's H-E-X-C-L-A-D dot com slash UN SUB is my nose bleeding not yet, but I'm sure it will soon that dude I'm but he so he doesn't fight like a Mexican. He fights like He's like one more chance to go with power yep Cuz he's dude how he level changes and then how he sets up his other punches Cuz he's actively looking it Mexican. He said he goes into like he said he goes into the flow state He's like I don't even remember knocking these guys out. I I cannot wait for him to fight monster Yeah, that's what we're talking about with the way classes Yeah, we'll see. I don't know cuz he has how much more way so I think you'll probably fight I mean, it's what he wants to be honest But hey there's a yeah, I mean it would be Yeah, it would be the best it would be the biggest fight in boxing, which is ironic Considering that he's 118 pounds. Yeah, but yeah, so you want it 112 115 just one at one
18 Boxing white glasses are crazy to me. Yeah, three pounds. That's why he has a pack. Yeah, but then it's like but then But it is so let's say he probably weighs 128 when he fights Right, so he weighs in a one 18 ways 128 but then like in no way could Come in at 135 like just come in. I mean, that's a big Again is a big difference. It's a huge difference. So I mean because I Bams small I don't I don't think anyone thought he would progress that Like quickly through the he's 26 years old. I don't think you'll fight much longer He's a mock like knockout power. Yeah, you have to watch. Yeah, you have to watch this guy is ridiculous Dude, I love how they fuck it. There's nobody else. It's like it. Yeah, he switched things like it makes these guys look stupid and They're champions Doesn't mean the most I just more like I just think it's funny that the boxing guys hire the jiu-jitsu guys for security It's all I'm saying. I just think that's the funny part to me Dude, that's fucking crazy. Mike goes Daniel. He's huge fan of bam Yeah, cuz he's from San Antonio. Yeah, and I think his next I'm thinking Like just listening to like his interviews. I think the next fight will probably be another 2018 another fight at 118 probably you to unify And let him see how it feels and then like he's going to be looking at the big one. It's way more brutal and a lot of people Think they're just like oh, it's just moving up weight classes That's how you see world champions fall off because they go to the wrong weight class and now I'm not as fast and I rely on my speed and now where I'm used to being able to move I'm getting tagged or age also will determine you start seeing people find off Yeah, it doesn't like limb like reach start to really play a big advantage to like if you're going if you're not naturally that high and weight And you start fighting people with a lot longer arms like I feel like that's what we saw last night with Toporia versus Gagey Gagey had so much reach every time he tried to come in he was eating jabs and homie wasn't moving his head Yeah, face to fist up I would agree with that, but like you you would know just from watching like this guy is different He's like he they don't know where he is Like the way that he moves is like it's and he's just he's always close. He always finds a way in He's a slip sense where it's like hey, I'm over here. Now. I'm switching positions So I'm back to orthodox tagging you trying to turn into him and he is Knock out power which at that weight class that those is great in the like He fought so there's a He did another big fight in Phoenix is a so that's where he went his first title So he's been fighting like most of his big fights there, but there was another Boxer Estrada You remember he was like so he's been the champ for a long time max like Mexican fighter and bam fought him when he came up to 115 I think and in in Phoenix and he stopped him. I think in the fifth round like liver shot Like writhing and pain on the like it but you could see from the get-go is like This is over Yeah, Gigi almost got taken out by liver shots. Dude. I actually saw that highlight Did you guys watch the fights? Yeah, did you watch? Yeah? So good poetry again. No head movement. I can't you couldn't you couldn't have wrote I was talking shit about the UFC card. I still the card was like math overall, but you couldn't have Wrote a better if you would have wrote that main event People would have thought it's fiction a hundred percent like five to one underdog American Going in against what's that was he five to one five to one he was five to go on underdog Going in against a foreigner fighting on American soil on America's 250th birthday and the American goes out there and just beats the piss out. Oh, okay I'm telling me how much you make a grand. Oh, okay, nothing crazy the Yeah, that's funny because It's kind of like the built-for-war thing, right? Like okay, you're gonna come out just stop this guy It's kind of like the Strickland thing like oh, you're just gonna come out and stop him like Strickland's are but like Gigi's been knocked out, but not in the first round or second round or No, you know, it's like maybe in the last second of the fight. Yeah, just it just in poor you knocked him out too I think those are the two. Oh, okay, okay, but he's in a minute later. Yeah, yeah, you just got those the skill levels and there is Where oh this fighter can beat this fighter? I didn't see Mac. It was like there's levels to this Well, you could tell like and I was texting Connor the whole time the fight was going on I was like the longer this fight goes the more in favor it is with Gigi just cuz like this guy's I don't think he's ever went out of the first round or second round for a fight and he's going into the Third fourth and fifth round with Gigi who pretty much exclusively lives there. Yeah, he lives in like deep water Yeah, yeah, like dude We're just gonna get the shit kicked out of us and one of us is gonna. I nice fuel tank. I have a nuclear Reactor just runs. I text I text Connor lives like the third or fourth round when Toporia took a shot and tried to take down Gigi and Gigi you can literally look he takes his shot and Gigi doesn't even move He just looks down at his waist and is like and then fucking sprawls and makes him eat it I was like this fights over. It's like when Well, there's two so one is like when Connor McGregor shot on the ideas. Yeah, you're like okay This is this is over. Yeah, and then when Chimaya full guard. Yeah, didn't he just like I have to get this to the end. Yeah, things are not going well I'm gonna get down do it the Dang it Fuck my brain just I'm surprised They didn't stop the fight or his coach. Let him go back in that was fucking bullshit. It should have been stopped I was gonna be so mad if he lost because the doctor thing Oh, I went when the doc you fucking hear it that they're like bring the doctor out He just said he can't see out of his right eye they bring the doctor out and you can see the doctor go Fights over he can't see out of his right eye and then the ref comes out and is like I'm gonna let it go and even Joe Rogan and DC were being like Well, this is kind of bullshit because they just let him rest for an extra 60 seconds when he was fucked up And then he came back out super fresh and I was like this is the Tim Kennedy fucking scandal all over again But what do you think? What do you think that is just bad judgment in the heat of the moment? I think it I think it was a hundred percent that the ref was under pressure of he did not want the main event of this Historic fucking UFC event to get stopped due to doctor stoppage. Oh, I a hundred percent think that's what it was But yeah, you're not allowed to say I can't see and then they yeah Yeah, it's fine. Let him go. Sorry. That's like literally the one thing they're looking for can you see and he's like can't see anything out of my right I fuck it. He's good to go Then his face just gets turned into fucking hamburger. He looked like Jesus from the passion of the Christ Dude his face was fucking mangled dude. You're like oh Oh, you're going back out as a like if I was in his corner. I'm like dude. Good job Just throw that down there post-fight interview was hilarious because he's like I knew it's he's like and you could see it because he had his His eye was bleeding first and he's like I knew I was gonna win as soon as he started bleeding because and I was watching it The fight to and I remember seeing it as soon as he was bleeding he kept doing this and looking at his glove and then going back to fighting and then doing this And he did it like ten times and he's like he's like oh, he doesn't like that. He's such a he's such a pretty boy He's worried about his face right now. He's like that's when I knew it was the turning point out of been Staying on that rise at him like I'm gonna work on this Everything's gone Just getting punched in the face over and over. It was a good. I mean, that was a war and then who were they complaining about For elbows and punches in the back of the head to like oh because there's a bunch of shit going on right now That clip was fucking nasty though, man Just back the head like seven eight times and they're like they're not stopping the fight I was like I don't know on that one. It's always back ahead is a dangerous place to get hit I mean everybody knows yeah, and they were just letting it slide cuz he even get told stop pretty much, right? Mm-hmm. I was watching. I didn't think it was yeah, I thought it was kind of the side I mean, I thought it was to this area of the head, which is fine I mean, it's literally I don't know what the definition of the back of the head is it's I always thought it was the the triangle Right where the spine connects to the bag of the head and I thought he was doing a decent job of avoiding it I was like I watched it live. I didn't think anything was too Egregious. Well, I think it was coming this way too, right? Yeah, it was coming like it was down down down It was coming from side straight up and down thing which that whole the elbow rules fucking stupid to begin with it's got which one the 12 to six elbows you can oh that it's not allowed. Yeah, do you know why no because back in the day when UFC was like brand new and coming up
And John McCain was hardcore against it and they were like struggling to let any states even let them hold events The boxing commission was in charge of like coordinating with them to make the rules for anyway to bring it mainstream And one of the dudes at the boxing commission who knows fucking nothing about fighting outside of boxing Went to like a martial arts demonstration to learn more which good for him that makes sense demonstration at least he's trying to learn I'll give him credit there But he goes to like a fucking crotty demonstration and one of these fucking crotty black belts Does the fucking 12 to 6 elbow and breaks fucking 15 landscaping bricks with it? Oh, he goes oh my god. We can't allow this 12 to 6 elbows. That's where that rule comes from It's like I told you guys that was dangerous The headless corpse as he junks it off Yeah, it's literally where that rule comes from in saying well It's probably the same as the heavyweight rule right like some of those things probably existed like okay We have to cut it at 265 because everything over is too dangerous Yeah, fat figure it out just don't bite each other Pretty much yeah back in the day. Yeah, you could just because you could attack the groin out the gate, right? Yeah, that one dude was just scraped all yeah, he had caught us the measure was just punching him in the dick That elbows was like pulling the one was pulling Kimbo's hair like that one. Yeah, like got a haircut after that Dude, I was back in man. There's old and old UFC was crazy because it was just you bring it on Don fries One of my favorite podcasts we ever did. Oh Doctor is he is he in Texas? Arizona. Oh, okay, he was out in Arizona and he but he came out here and he is Exactly who you hope he is. He's every bit of who you hope is just slam and whiskey Calling people queers Yeah, that's don't know I was like you But my wife Savas like he's like have the one with the big tits makes the drink Don't right. We're at brunch We sit down to brunch and Eli always orders like fruity drinks Yeah, and Cody's drinking man mosa's which to Don fry looks fruity also. Yeah, so Cody orders a man mosa Eli orders Whatever fucking pink fruity drink he gets. I'm not drinking at the time and Don fries like talking. What are you? Queer like a sick Eli and this little like bubbly waitress and he's like, can I just get Burnt you got bourbon and she's like yeah, and then she like pulls up her menu and she starts reading off like all the craft drinks that have bourbon He's like sweetheart. I just just bourbon And she's like oh, oh, okay, and she like goes to walk away. He goes make it a triple. I don't want you to wear your shoes out She's walking away. He's so funny Such a good old boy. What does he do? Don't fry a YouTube does Don fry just he's Don fry. There you go. He's like a legendary character. Just roaming around the mess now. Just being himself. Yeah 100% they just record him just saying quotes now I mean you go his channel's doing quite fine with that Don't be It's like a ball. He needs a ball ahead with just like yeah, don't push it Very old Don fry. So what is now? Do you like boxing USC? What's your favorite shit to watch? Are you a do you do you like yeah? No, what do you when he sports you watch? What do you do for fun? You stare at a wall? Yeah, yeah, it's horrifying. Yeah Hey, what's up? I'm showing them noble suitcases because I'm intrigued I bought one before they were a sponsor and Then two weeks later, they're like do you want to work together? I was like, yep So this is one of those were like you used it beforehand. Yeah, so not even joking when we were traveling in Virginia the other day I was like, oh was that like one of the sponsor suitcases and then you showed me all the features I'm like, oh actually, okay, I think I get it. Oh, you can use your fire this can carry firearms to you can just check it in with it Oh, is it like TSA approved? Yeah, literally TSA. Yeah, they're all So you could just you could just throw a fucking gun in that faster? It already has the TSA locks with it So the TSA can check it really quick with that same key for both locks. Yep, so in that case it's compliant if you want to bring a Surprise mouse coutul that will help you later. Everyone loves surprise mouse coutules. The robbers don't They have an open container compartment. Oh Wow, I bet you could put a laptop in there. How would you know? I don't read Egyptian I had a bag that I used to use. I don't do that anymore because this replaced everything for travel I used to travel exclusively with a proger grocery bag the holes were getting large He's ever replaced the bag, but don't take our word on it 500,000 suitcases sold in the highest rated luggage brand in the category on trust pilot But you know the only thing better than buying one of these. What's that Brandon buying one at 46% off? You can go to noble travel dot com for up to 46% off your entire order is every suitcase come with a hundred day money back guarantee I believe it does and three three day express shipping and we didn't even mention it has a lifetime warranty So that's noble travel dot com for up to 46% off your entire order after you order They're gonna ask you how you heard about them tell them unsub sends their regards very Japanese of you No, well our business were super busy. So like that's a lot said eight jobs Yeah, and more more more more coming soon, but it's uh, but the gym thing is interesting because I think when You start looking at like Like everyone here is fine, right? So when you think of like martial arts I think there's a misconception of UC like oh, Jiu-Jitsu is good for like us Because we're like strong or athletic and like really it's better for people who are not that yeah Right, well the probably the biggest like when I started when did you start? 2011 2010 okay, so about same period of time a little different different training trajectory But like when you come in, it's like you show up someone's gonna try to kill you And then if you're you know tough enough you stay If you're like, oh, maybe this is good for me or you know, okay, I didn't like that But so it's not like the environment isn't really set up the right way for the people who probably need it the most That makes it right so like I would have never thought to put my I've three daughters I would never thought to put them in Jiu-Jitsu the way that I learned it Right now they do Jiu-Jitsu twice. They also do cheer and whatever other things, but like you will do that So I think when we looked at it or when we started it was like well, how do you create the environment for those people to be able to benefit from it? Well, that's hard Because most of the industry is like Talking about steroids. They're like people. It's like It's just it's so not what martial arts is supposed to be like the Japanese way, right? So it's like kind of this like it's kind of like a thug fights for it's very much It's I mean, there's obviously different now every gym has a different vibe Yeah, exactly exactly right that's which is crazy and then what's funny is like I was a consumer like I said like I'd never really wanted to teach and then so When I started training again, I'm already a black belt and there's a guy named Salo Hibero and If you look this this guy is intense and he's insane But he has such a good way to think right so when I start training he's like the nicest guy and then He's like, okay, let's train. So we train. I think it's like there's a timer it's like five minutes or whatnot So I just kind of avoid like the fight. It's like this guy's like seven time world champion like If I survive this is good and survive is like not engage So like the timer ends and he's like keep going. He has like crazy voice, right? It's like keep going like shit No, there's no time with it now So eventually like you know mouse be jokes me. He's like, oh, you don't spend a lot of time there, huh? No, actually, I almost Right, so then it then I start training with him because I'm like, okay, I'm not learning There's something I'm missing in what I was taught Right, and then for three years I'm training under this guy. He lives in San Diego. I live like almost three hours away and every time we train is like no time limit basically until he's Tired or bored. I don't know whichever comes first. Maybe um, but I I'm thinking okay. I'm a I'm a brown belt world champion. I'll probably be okay and Like I might as well be you training with him. There's just no Like it's not even close. So I think that part I'm like I remember one day He's like you think that just because you get your ass kicked you're getting better I'm like, yes (laughs) - I hope so.
(laughing) - Why am I here? - That's why I was thinking. (laughing) - But inside of that, I learned a lot more about, they viewed Jiu Jitsu as martial arts, they wanted it to change. So when you're trying to, so we always say we see something wrong with the industry and want to change it. Like that's hard. So you think, oh, if I change things for the better, people are gonna be on board with it. No, right? The opposite of that. So it's like, it's very time consuming. Write that, and then I have three kids. Like I used to love sports, then they started teaching me about politics, and I'm like, no thanks. - It's not enough. - And then, it's like, yeah, I'll watch it. Like I watch boxing when I'm sitting in ringside, watching title fights. That's a different situation. But yeah, at home, I don't. - Interesting. - I don't really have time for that. - I still like your mindset on martial arts, 'cause it is a. - When did 1930s or '40s when it was like. - Jujutsu? - Everything like the belt system, even, 'cause I didn't realize that belt system was that more of a American thing. It was like the crotty kid movie that turned crotty. - I mean, crotty existed prior to that, but like it was literally the crotty kid movie that made martial arts mainstream, and like really brought about like the, we're gonna have 30 separate belts just to make it mean. - If you go back far enough, like one, it's Japanese origin. So let's like start with that. So it's Jujutsu, not Brazilian Jujutsu. That's where we teach. - Okay. - But also like, if you go back far enough, like Teddy Roosevelt was learning Jujutsu, right? And it wasn't, he wasn't learning Brazilian Jujutsu. He was learning Jujutsu. - She came from. - Jujutsu, Jujutsu, right? It was like Jujutsu, then. - No, so it was Jujutsu first. - Interesting, okay. - Right, and it was basically like, how do you fight without the sword? 'Cause it was the samurai. And there's people that are much better all destroy the history, and all the history of bust will call me out of it. - I can do it. - It's, but it's like really that's where it started. Now there's a pretty big Japanese population in Brazil. Right, so it goes over there. Now around, I wanna say around the same time period, Judo starts, Jigoro Kano is the founder of Judo, and he's trying to create something that they're able to put in the education system. It's like Judo is in the education system in Japan. It's part of it, right? So this was educational. And it started with Jujutsu, and then there's a couple of different types that Jujutsu, but Judo became more standing oriented. And what Jigoro Kano was saying was, well you, it's all about efficiency. And if you wanna be good at standup, you can't be good at standup and be good at the ground, which is part, right? And so you have to be smart with how to use your time. That's why, like when we talk about Jujutsu, Jujutsu is about efficiency. So really the longer the fight, you'll see who's the better practitioner. Right, so you start looking, so I think Judo had, it's like the Japanese culture is a lot more geared towards like honor and now it's a Olympic sport. And this is an actual sport. So the ground kind of got ignored a little bit, but then it also ended up in Brazil. And I think a part of it too is like socioeconomic. Like if you look in Japan, they have like the Kodokan and they have these big academies built for Judo. And it's something that's part of the system. And there's money. It's our world country, right? And then in Brazil, you have smaller places that are packed with people who love what they're doing, but there's not enough room to do stand up. Like stand up requires room. So if there's 50 of us crammed in this living room and we're gonna train, we're not gonna all wrestle. Like nothing's gonna happen, it's too dangerous. I think there's a part of it that's that. But then also the Gracies did a great job of like branding it. And then the UFC, and so I think like, and the way that they popularized it was like, basically going into gyms and beating the shit out of people. So I think like some of that mindset, like that's why it ended up being what it was. It's like this toughness kind of idea. So I think with us it's great because we have people that are like the best in the world, some of the best in the world. But then we still say like, hey, the martial arts mentality is important. Like this mindset thing is important. It'd be very different if like we were terrible and nobody could win a match. And we're like, guys, the fighting part's not as important. I was like, the developers, yeah, it's what matters. So there's like there, but again, like a lot of that stuff. I mean, even the industry doesn't provide jobs. Like there's so many things that are wrong with it. That's like, we're trying to look at this whole thing and say like, well, how do you change something? It's a, right, dude, it would be extremely difficult. As you're saying, even hiring or creating jobs for that, 'cause hard salary and now you're basing that off of how many students you have and you're like, hey, Steve, I can pay you X amount to come, dude. Well, you can solve, so like the economics can be, like the economic equation can be solved. Oh, yeah. Well, like what I figured out, I think with the team is like, we have to create the military. Like there has to be a way that, say this and won't come out as well. Like there needs to be an indoctrination process and then like, there has to be like-- That's why I used to believe in not being a shitbag before I get that. Yeah, you have to lock it up. Because it's there, like what happens when you go to boot camp? Oh, you get fucking demoralized and break you and then they teach you how to like, you know, be human and there are form. And I love martial arts because that respect thing. That's why the kiddos, my kiddos, it's still putting, well, not writing, writing like, no, thank you, daddy. I do not want to punch. I'm like, oh, yeah, got it. But why don't you put them in Jiu-Jitsu? Writing's autistic, autistic, like he does, he will not like-- Maybe so good. He would not want to make eye contact. He'll be like, stop. Yeah, but-- Stop, like, wait, like what-- What's your name? Don't know, but like, what? Because like, we have a lot of autistic kids that train Jiu-Jitsu. He's-- So it depends on the level. Yes. There's different levels. Because there's like, yeah, there's obviously like, that's A level. You can still train. I can still talk to people. I can shower sometimes. But, yeah, him is like, but the respect that they learned from is what I love from when I was young. And that's what I took to the military and then learned that in the military. But it's the one thing I truly appreciate. Was that respect? And you're like, OK, walk in, bow, or do-- Yeah, yeah, some of those like, traditional martial arts. Well, some of those simple things are actually like, humility. Yeah, right. And if you look in the world today, it's like, where did that go? But it's funny that you talk about that, though, because there are kids that, like, we do have a lot of kids that are autistic in our programs. And it's-- my wife was mentioning it like a couple of years ago. She's like, there's like a significant amount, right? Much more than you would imagine. But what's funny is there are some kids that, like, this-- they would struggle with the conversation. And did you see them crying? You're like, dude, just keep doing that. Just like, just-- you know what? And then they get done. And they'd like-- because everything's-- for some, it's all about, like, order in a specific way, for, like, repetition. For most of them, right? So it's like, you get done. You shake the hand, like, you tell your partner, thank you. So they just, like, mall some kid. They'd just, like, grab their hand, like, shake it. The other kids cry. Yeah, the other kids. It's like, no, no. We're supposed to follow this process. We got it, we got it, we got it. Right away. Thank you. [LAUGHTER] No, but it's great. It's great. And, like, you never know, because, isn't it, like, there's something that gets their attention, right? Oh, yeah, that's what we were looking for. What's the one young guy where his glass is? He's, like, I'm autistic. And he's world champion. Oh, Mikey Musa-Meckey? It's-- yeah. Yes. Yeah. I'm sure that's who you're thinking. Yeah. It's one guy. Yeah. And he's like-- I'm just autistic. It's like, yeah. I picture that dude just like that. Just like that. Just like that. I just think he's like, I just want to-- jujitsu, jujitsu. It's so embarrassing. To be honest, like, it's so embarrassing. Is it? Like, I-- yeah. Interesting. It's like, that's the guy. Like, that's the guy. You're like, we should promote. This is what we should use to promote. Like, that's a market. That's-- dude. Zero chance. That's the industry's fault. He's the only guy that good-- He's the only guy that good not trying to bang his female students. He's that strong. He's that strong. He's jujitsu. Yeah. But it's like, that's the thing you want to use to, like, draw people in. Well, that's, like, Victor, like, my partner is-- Not that kind of partner. I know where you want. But he-- but like, you've trained with him. Yeah. He's 65 to 60. He's enormous. He's-- the guy is, like, the American dream. But I came over here and he was 19 years old, like, lived in the gym, like, one-world championships, like, no money, like, figured it out. Was really hurt. Wasn't going to be able to go keep competing. [BLANK_AUDIO]
got healthy. We started the business. Now he's a business owner. He's made a bunch of money on the mat off the mat, but he doesn't like he just lives his life. Like he's not you know autistic or making you know just doing weird shit. He's actually just like helping develop other people like he spent what a week or a few days. Yeah, he's up there for a while. He's on underwhelming podcasts with us. Talk kids teaching kids classes. All the kids are like his hand is like this like bro. He grabbed my collar on my g. I'm it was like from here to here from pinky to index knuckle. Yeah, he's huge. He's insane. When when my daughter was so we've I've known him see almost 10 years now. So my youngest is 10. So when she was little everything was like is the Ferris wheel as big as Victor. Oh wow. I'm like well just imagine. Yeah, I mean it makes it big. And it's like it's like it's like is the airplane is the airplane as big as Victor. I mean it's a little bigger. It's picturing him palming your head. No it's literally it's like he's enormous. But he's not you know it's like he's a difficult match up for like even the UFC they just recently had a they had you guys don't do UFC stuff to you. You're not sponsored by UFC or not yet. Go ahead. So they had like so Victor's normal life like just got married you know has his routine. He teaches, he runs the businesses, develops other athletes. His coaches of World Champion also. Our coach is a World Champion also. And the problem is all these guys that are you know making autistic videos and they're being promoted like he just malls them. No shit. So it's not like good promoting. Like I messaged the matchmaker and was like oh you have Victor's kids like two guys he submitted fighting on the card and then they won't put him on like he it's hard for him to get matches because it's not it doesn't grab attention and then he's going to beat you. Got you right. So it's like a difficult but in in his mind or in our mind like the business will be so much bigger than you know the short term success these guys are going to have making their weird videos right. Makes sense. But now that's the guy you're going to put as like ever you should try to just do you might end up like this guy. Like now I think I'll put my kids in karate. Anything that makes sense. That would be frustrating from the marketing standpoint because you are it's kind of like a draw too. Like unfortunately if you're this Victor skill level and just being able to dominate but he doesn't really care about how he presents himself on so for media. No it's the opposite. His is like martial arts like what he's doing like it's not positive. It's positive. Yeah exactly exactly. It's clicks and then what we'll get shared. If you actually went and look because we had a meeting in the beginning of the year where we were talking about not even using Jujutsu in any of our like messaging because if you look it up it's like some dude beaten his wife for like I'm serious. It's like you know what's his man's girlfriend like some dudes all the time you do it's create a steroids like the best person in the world saying well if you're not using a steroids you're cheating you're cheating yourself. Yeah right it's like even I've heard that that's what that's what you want to that's what you want to be putting out there for you know so it's like that's the part that's difficult and then you know so I have to do this do you know the history of Jujutsu? I do not do it you would find it interesting because you're all in Japan. It's if unless it was during the what it would samurai yeah so uh then it would have been Judo and so it was Jiu not Jiu. It was Jiu not Jiu. It was Jiu not Jiu. This is there you go. I haven't validated this to the degree I do with the Fatal Eccertion video so if I fuck this up a little I'm sorry this is my current understanding so samurai basically functioned kind of like feudal nights like they just worked for different show guns right so between the samurai between the samurai there was like that professional um professional understanding of like hey mean you were homies but you served this show gun I served that show gun we might end up fighting each other one day even though we're cool and it's not personal right oh okay yeah so there was always that understanding so a lot of times that samurai like went to war with each other at the end of the battle day they would go out in the middle of the battlefield and have like dinner together because like we're off we're off the clock well and also so I can piggyback just add into it one thing I do know which is fucking wild same idea like that it's wild that oh we're gonna have break bread now after we've been fighting all day they would also this was more before the 1400s um was it not but shoot I forget though what is it called the fighting style with the sword uh whatever but you would have these armies like facing off and then usually it was like they just challenged one at a time you would have just two dudes fight one at a time and then kill and then the next one would go in there and kill or I'm guessing that's part of it was no so it all happened at dinner oh okay so like jujitsu while they're going to dinner obviously like there's a lot of time there's like the professional courtesy like I know Cody we're fighting on different teams but like we're gonna hang out tonight and we'll go back to work tomorrow there's also situations where it's like I know Cody I don't fucking like Cody I kind of want to kill him on the battlefield and whenever you so they would go to have dinner and whenever you go to dinner it was like the big thing of like hey we're off the clock if you draw your sword everybody's gonna fucking kill you because we don't do that right like you're breaking the code so nobody could draw a weapon so if you had a disagreement or you wanted to get in a fight with somebody over dinner you would have a wrestling match and jujitsu and like submissions started to develop under the ideology of okay I want a fucking kill Cody I can't do it right now because everybody else will kill me but if me and Cody wrestled a night and I break his fucking arm tomorrow when I catch up with him on the battlefield then I can cut his head off way easier and that's where like submission started to come in is I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna maim you right now so I can fucking kill you tomorrow and that's kind of solid fucking plan that's the story of the last time we're you know let's talk about it we were last time right it's weird that we were looking that one up I think right did my same right it's awesome French but Tom Cruise based off of a French guy instead yeah oh French but the story is completely different then they're uh uh well it follows like a lot that happened just they were like well we'll just put Tom Cruise in a French guy a little big horn why me one of the most famous samurai in japanese history um he's called the cowboy samurai because he adopted he would carry a 38 hell and like a tauna fuck yeah so this is 18 Japanese people wanting to be cowboys since the beginning but the one thing he would wear and cowboy boots so he'd wear his normal kimono the garb and cowboy boots leather cowboy boots and that and they actually are you for real yeah oh there's a statue he's got you know anime is a real life right this is I love the cultural admiration between America and Japan how do you even know that cowboy boots existed he the we're talking he bought it like so he was the one he's like hey I don't like what's happening right now we have to uh we have to build yeah which part did he know like um he was seeing what was happening over like the colonization okay okay yeah yeah yeah religion all that happening he was against that so he's like no then he teamed up with the guy that was in charge of the Japanese navy at the time and they were uh they be sure we should work cowboy boots it's like yeah like dude we gotta get mad drips of the kids like us more soccer moto remore like sacamodo real mom real mom show's like an anime it's a comic book there's his statue his famous statue and his famous statue is the cowboy oh my god he actually has a cowboy boots he's the second most famous samurai whose formal claim uh Miyamoto Musashi okay so that do all that makes sense yeah the most successful one yeah yeah the one that never died he died an old man yeah in that time right he would accept all the challenges this is what lived on the mountain to the rodent entire book on cutting people's heads off is that the guy that used the stick to kill people at first yep okay at fucking like 13 or 13 or 12 he killed that for his first samurai he killed famous samurai yeah he picked him up and slammed him on his head and then beat him to death with a stick do you expect yeah I was just listening to the other day 12-year-old he famous samurai at that time that what were you listening to enough I was someone was telling the story on YouTube oh wow yeah it was uh he he was like I want to make a name for myself 12 years old he finds the guy the guy swings
Adam first, and he just dodges it, picks him up, slams on his head, takes a wooden, a wooden katana and just beats his head in with it. No, holy shit. The 12 year olds today are saying they want to make a name for themselves. I'm bringing a stick to a soul fight. And he did. This dude had a poster, he was challenging any samurai in the area. And so for 12 year olds, me and Motto, seeing that, he's like, "Oh cool, I'll do it." And the guy's like, "Fuckin' kid, what is he gonna do?" And then he proceeded to crack him in the skull, knock him down, and then bash his head in and tell him there's nothing, and he's like, "Okay, and left." And then he just continued to do that, and then his most famous battle with Yojiro was showing up very late, he showed up three hours late to this duel. And you gotta remember, this is old Japan, so. Is that what you do this for me? Yes. That's right. It's true. It's true. And that's how we won that fight, homey was fucking pissed, 'cause it was a three hour and homey rose his boat there, and while he's rowing it, he carves one of the ores into a giant's bowkin' stick, makes it even longer, 'cause Yojiro used a. Big bat thing. It was. Like in the dodge. Wait, so they're choosing their weapon? Yeah. Oh, and he's like, "I'm not gonna use a boat or." And this is his last battle, and this is the most. This is the other, the greatest samurai of that era too, so these are the two best fighters in the world. That's palver pound, one versus two, and the fucking homey killed them with an orr. He's just waiting. The level of disrespect on that one. He's, you know what? He wanna shave? He showed up. It's all about respect, he's got fucking pissed, 'cause again, he pulled up, he's like, "Nan, take a shower, didn't do the traditional, I'm fighting for my life." He was just a scrub, and he was like, "You're fucking late, did I do that?" He was like, "Oh, okay, that's good." And then he's even more pissed, 'cause he has a wooden boat. This is crazy. He moves to the side and just whacks the dude as hard as he can in the head, and then one more time it kills him, and then just bounces out, gets back on his boat, or is back to his little home, and then I'm gonna send into, and that was his 60th, he did 60 or 64 battles to the death. That's crazy. Was that one the one where the guys students were centering on watching too, and they just watched him get beat to fucking death? That, yep. Yep. I get asked all the time, "Are you ever going to run out of stories for your channel and have to quit?" I was like, "No." I might have to expand outside of America, but I'm definitely not running out of stories I could look into, but I went down to Vlad the Impaler, rather than hold the other day. That dude, fuck shit. I'm trying to find this guy. The guy that Dracula's based on. Oh, wow. Yeah. He's just like, "That's hilarious." There was a plastic model gun kit. Three assassins came in, and his wife was like, "Did you hear it?" He was staying out in Tokyo, or whatever was called at that Edo, and he actually used the fucking pistol. It was a "PAP!" And they're like, "What the fuck?" Yeah. Cause he was like, "I have a sword, but it's all closed." Well, I could just shoot people, and it's way easier. But it's on air, it dies. I fucking love that shit. Write it under Tim's town. It doesn't never run out of history stories. Like shit like that. But toke, like Vlad, Cody, if you want to sabotage Vlad, literally just like the Ottomans are coming with a massive army to kill us in Vlad, basically the king or whatever of his area is like, "I'll fucking handle it." I know how to handle this. He goes out, kills 30,000 Ottomans, and then impales them in a fucking. basically makes a forest of corpses. Right in the booty. It'll take a while. Yes. He learned impaling in prison, right, when he was like, "How did he go about this?" He'd fucking killed a bunch of people with his army, and then how many people were his army? They were like vastly outnumbered, but like tactics, they won like this victory, and then just took all the corpses and impaled them along the road that the rest of the Ottomans would have to fucking come through. So you're going to walk through a forest of all your dead friends if you want to come fuck with me again. It's like, damn, dude. That's what the psychological warfare is real. Yeah. That's what happened. For me, that's why armies were like, "Yo, we're not invading them." Fuck. No. Cause one of them went over that hill, and it was just 30,000 impaled people. As far as I can see, I'm like, "Oh, I'm up." Yeah. We're good. We'll go the long way. How much we can pay for this? Well, I'll go around. We don't need this. We'll just put an X right here. Didn't find anything worth value actually in that part of the world. So, some of the people didn't die right away, either that's a fucked-up part. If they didn't go completely through you or not through your heart, they'd be alive for a couple of days. Strap some weights to the ranch. That was probably intentional. Yeah. That's demoralizing. Yeah. So it was, as a teenager, Vlad was held by the Ottoman Empire as a political hostage during that time period. That's how he learned how the Ottoman military culture and the harsh punishments. So that's how he learned impaling, which is why it was that fucked him up because he was like, "Oh, shit. He's doing. " "Oh, wow. We're assholes." What are you doing? Seriously? "Oh, God." But yeah. And then Dracula, that's the man that came. Wait, so how did it turn into Dracula? That's just the inspiration for Dracula. God, I wanted it. But one of my favorite quotes ever is. The photo. Just that old art. Man. That's incredible. He just eaten a piece of pizza and some beer right there on the table, dude. Get back to impaling. It's no face. Well, I don't know how much he's like, "Hey, he's chopping up in body parts." One of my. I don't even know who said it, but one of my favorite quotes of all time is, "What makes you different is what makes you dangerous. There's a thousand kings called the Great. There's only one king called the impaler." Yeah. Look, that goes hard, actually. Fuck you, terrible. Oh, man. Cody, how you been, buddy? What you been up into? Super duper. Not much, man. I like your new merch. Oh, thank you so much. Crime is fun. I've been doing a lot of that. We're going to two episodes a week. Are you out of the crime? Yeah, man. Crime history kind of, like, how he does military history, you know. And then. He said it came out different. He was like, "Crime is fun. I've been doing a lot of it." I mean, I bet it is. Well, yeah. So, when I run out of footage, I go out and find homeless people. I get the melastie. Yeah. And I'm like, "I'm like the cops, veins are made of copper." And I get my ass in. It's fucking great footage, dude. There was some shorty side. I don't know if I sent a figure or not. But this dude is just walking around the wheelbarrow full of handles of, like, cheap vodka with my shadows stuffed to him and just handing it to homeless people around. What a patriot, too, man. He's making so much content for me. It's all standing. All the homeless people, I thank you so much, man. Is that just the audit good or chaotic evil? You're giving it stuff away. Wait, so they get. Handle and a machete? I handle it. It's literally a handle of vodka with, like, a shitty Walmart machete duct tape, too. And he's just walking around handing them to homeless people on the side of the street. Pretty great. He always leads before the fighting starts. He needs to monetize that quickly. That's what I'm saying, man. Sit around a little bit, you know, at a paywall and then machete fights. He's drunk all the time when they brought him on Dr. Phil. Oh, yeah. The bomb fights guy. Yeah. You know, bomb fights? I know, bomb fights. They brought the dude that did that on Dr. Phil to talk about it. And he walks in dressed like Dr. Phil and he even shaved this part of his head bowl over the mustache. That's incredible. And Dr. Phil's just like, just get out. And he goes, why? He goes, get out. And he goes, I do the same thing you do. I bring people in bad circumstances on and I record it to make fun of them. I know you're no better than me. That's the best. And like, Dr. Phil kicks him off the show. It's insane. Wait, it got recorded? Oh, yeah. It was like an episode. Yeah. You can pull it up on YouTube today. It's like, it's a top-tier troll moment. What are some of the stories you're working on recently? We released UFC fights today to go and tag with the fight that was last night. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The ball fights too. What about them? Ah, just UFC guys who have gone to prison. That's a good one. Yeah. What's his name? You could go into Jutsu guys next. That's true, too. There's a lot of those. What's one of your favorite new ones you've done? We went over, what's his name? The chase the guy on his truck and shot him because he actually assaulted his daughter. He just got released in February. He got paroled out. He's the one that's trying to run for it. Wait. No, no. I talked about that one, too, though. That's coming out next week. Next week is Vengeance Stories. So yeah, that guy ran for Sheriff and he's fucking, he's about to win. He's going to the general in November. What was the background story with that one? Uh, this one. He called again.
Guy who was trying to (mumbles) 14 year old daughter and end up smoking the dude shot him, like I think 16 out of 18 times, he fired at him. And so he goes, he goes to jail for a little bit and they let him out on technicality, like Miss Handled Evidence or something like that. And he ran for Sheriff and he fucking won in the town that he's in. It's a good story. And we're, we need to get him on here. - Oh yeah. - Yeah, I think, I can't remember where he lives. - That's, yeah. - That's good. - It's not so good. - It's such a good story. - I'll do it so good. And I would love to get him on here and talk to him, though. - We were, we were talking about it on kind of consensual stuff just like this. I think that, I think that juries should be allowed to issue a new verdict. Like you've got guilty innocent and I think the third verdict should be kind of fucking based. We're like, we know what he did was wrong, but also, I like that shit. (laughing) - Broke some laws, but it was right. - Yeah. - It was what he did was right, but he broke some laws. - There's something. - At the end of the day. - No tears are shed. - This is a good kind of bad. - Well, I would, yeah. - Imagine the emotional damage he has to kill somebody. (laughing) - Yeah, it was, his name's Aaron Spencer. It's how to Arkansas. - That sounds good. - Yeah. - He just won the GOP nomination over a three-term incumbent sheriff who's office had arrested him on murder charges. - There you go. (laughing) - So people's spoken, yeah. - I wonder what that sheriff's thinking now is a fuck. (laughing) - He's coming for me now. (laughing) - Oh man. (laughing) - So what's the one? - That's different from the UFC guys. - Yeah, that's different than the UFC. - I'm talking about a, no, that's not the UFC, and that's the one coming out next week. I was just talking about the engine stuff. The UFC guy, what was his name? Valesquit? Valesquit? - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. - It was just about him. That's what the show was I talked about today. - Also based. - Yeah, Chase's a guy down. He was shooting at his truck across like three counties. - Yeah, what happened? What is he in Joe, I know. - I think he's out there now. - He just got out, February, he's got out, okay. So he's out now. - Good. - For this family again. - Cut, that's a hard motherfucker. (laughing) - What was it? - Yeah, where are you thinking? - I'm be honest, imagine the balls on that, although I can see, like a little heavyweight champion as a kid, like. - Probably didn't think that far into it. - He's just another, I mean. - Oh yeah, it was with Kane, it was his four-year-old son at a daycare. - Oh, yeah, fucking, I'm going nuclear. - But what ended up, fucking him up too, is he probably wouldn't have had such a long sentence, but the dude who, his kid, had his mom and dad, or step-mom and step-dad in the car with him. So his parents got caught up in the chase in the shooting and then the step-dad ended up getting shot two or three times. - Oh yeah, that's insane. - With attempted murder. - Yeah, that was not it. - It wasn't just the pettin' in the car. - But for the first attempted murder, it would have been okay, if it was just a matter of time. - Yeah, it probably would have turned out. - It's when he's patient. - He's going to be a long time-time. - Yeah, the step-father was struck by a car, so. - Yeah, damn, damn. - How long was he in jail? - He won a couple of years, I think, two or three times. - Yeah, I mean, imagine being that guy's step-dad. - Did you see the five-year sentence? - Shit, your step-kid got you into. - What's happening? - You're being chased by that. - What are the greatest heavyweight fighters that all-time is chasing us with a gun? - Why? - Three. - Well, I don't know. Why is he so mad at you? - I can't tell you right now. - He only did 11 months, got a five-year sentence, and did 11 months, and purled out in California. - Yeah, but I mean, it's been going on for a while, right? - Yes, been going on for a minute. - Yeah, yeah. - The trial, the trial lasted, I can forever. - Yeah, I didn't know about the other dude getting shot. - Yeah, the step-father had nothing to do with it, that got shot, so that was the big thing in that one. - Dude, what the fuck? Also, what the fuck? - This is when I found out from Demetrius with our mutual guy, we both know, and it was that he'd been arrested for CP, and we're like, wait, what the fuck? I was like, get the fuck out of here. He's like, yeah, shit, you're not. You know, he's in jail right now. This is a mutual friend I grew up with. Great, like, great home came from everything, and then had terabytes of CP. - Yeah. And I didn't know, I was like, oh yeah, we just knew each other, which also extremely wild that Demetrius Johnson was distancing yourself. - Oh, he was in jail. Demetrius is the one that, yeah, that's like, he was like, have you heard? I was like, no. - No. - About what, and he was like, bruh, bruh. (laughs) I was like, get the fuck out of here. I text the friend group at all from that small Indiana town, and they were like, they didn't know, and then they were, because they all grew up together. So it was fucking weird seeing that shit, especially when it's a nice home. - Oh my gosh, there's weird people out there. - Where are some of the other UFC? - There's this Russian guy, he fought, he fought in like one UFC fight. And you know, going crazy and robbing mobile phone stores, and then he went to the crazy house and escaped from prison for beating someone up, and he went to the Polish border, I think it was Poland, and they tried to arrest him, and he started, they found out he had a bunch of Nazi tattoos, and he started screaming, I'm not a nationalist, I'm a racist, and so they arrested him again, and then he got out and got this group of dudes together that didn't like prostitutes, and they would go to brothels and beat the fuck out of people, and it's a whole, it's weird. And he spent like two years beating the shit out of people, like Pimps, and people who go to brothels. - He did like prostitutes, or, yeah man. - People that went to see prostitutes. - He didn't like any of 'em. - It was all bad. - Yeah, it was all bad. - So he's in jail now. - Yeah, he's in jail now. - And he might go now. - Yeah, I don't know. - Have you looked into Lee Murray? - Why do I know that man? - What did he do? - He was the guy that knocked out T-Dore T's in a bar fight. - Yes. - British guy in that story, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, he's in this one. - Oh, okay. - I wonder the one released today. - Oh, okay, okay, that's his story. - Okay, I gotta, it's, it's actually kind of funny. - Yeah, so he's, well, he was like a gangster criminal. - Yeah, he ended up, he did a heist. - Yeah, like the biggest heist in history. - It was like 30 something million dollars. - Holy shit. - Yeah, he's half Moroccan. - Or like he's half Moroccan. - So he fled to, that's where he fled there, yeah. - So then they're having parties. Now they get away with the crime. They're in Morocco, correct me if I'm wrong, like this. They're having all these parties.
