Matan Confronts Payton Talbott For Being a Closeted G*y

Peyton, a 27-year-old UFC fighter from Las Vegas, discusses his career, personal identity, and public perception in a candid and humorous podcast conversation. He dismisses offensive online hate, including claims of being gay or annoying, calling them baseless and harmful, and reaffirms that he doesn’t need validation from such attacks. Peyton emphasizes that fighting is about the journey, not just the championship belt, and that he values the present moment over fixation on external rewards. He addresses a false rumor about sending a private image to Aiden Ross, calling it absurd and inappropriate, and highlights how such accusations reflect prejudice. The conversation also explores deeper issues, such as the impact of stereotypes, the ethics of consuming animal parts, and the validity of pseudoscientific beliefs like astrology. Peyton critiques the use of racial or sexual slurs as insults, comparing them to racism, and stresses the importance of self-respect and authenticity. Through a mix of humor and introspection, the episode offers a thoughtful reflection on identity, mental health, and how fighters navigate fame and criticism, ultimately promoting respect, resilience, and critical thinking.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to the podcast for today's guest. We have faith in Talbo. Welcome in, please. And for today's co-host, we have my manager, Virah flooring, welcome in Virah flooring. You wanted him to go in first. Was that like a thing because you wanted to sit in that chair over there? I know you mentioned that he just beat me to it. Because he would have beaten me up and you wouldn't have had a mic. So that kind of would have messed up the show. I think it would have gotten you some more years, maybe. If you didn't have a mic, you would just have to beat up by him. If he, no, he won't do it on camera unless he feels like it. Interesting. Yeah, so please just pull the mic close to you and introduce yourself. Tell them a little bit about and all that one. My name is Peyton. Nice to meet you. Well, yeah, I just said your name, but maybe tell them a little bit about yourself. Um, what you do for leaving all that stuff. I'm 27 years old. I was born in Las Vegas. I like to listen to music, been playing a lot of Overwatch lately. Um, and, uh, yeah, I'm in LA for the week. Um, and what a, you know, people know you obviously as a UFC fighter. Okay. What is time and the other things might people might know you from? I mean, yeah, most people probably know me as a UFC fighter. I think what, yeah, what else would they know? Well, I was going to say, you know, because you have some haters. What do you have to say to your haters who call you a bad fighter? Some call you an annoying person and even gay. Um, I would just say keep it coming. The hate only strengthens me. Um, but obviously that last thing is in true right, which one? The gay thing, kind of a nasty thing to say about somebody. Is it nasty? Is being gay, nasty or is it a nasty thing to say? No, it's a nasty thing to say. That's a nasty thing to say to say, Hey, you're gay. Why do you think that would it be nasty to go and say, Hey, you're ugly? Yeah, but gay doesn't mean ugly. Are you not saying that it's a synonym? Well, it kind of is at least in my head, but you know, you, you know what I mean? I'm saying it's not something that would be nice to say. You wouldn't go up to a random guy and say, Hey, you're gay. Well, yeah, you wouldn't because you don't know. I'm saying, so these people don't know you. I mean, what I would know if somebody's ugly at a glance, you wouldn't know somebody's dumb, but you wouldn't go up to somebody and go, Hey, you're a dumbass, right? Yeah, but I just don't think that being gay is much of an insult. You would go up to just a random guy and call them gay. If they were gay, well, I mean, it's just what they are. I don't think I would really explicitly say that. It's just like you're a boy or like you're a boy with black hair. It's just like a state of being. So you don't view being gay as a negative connotation. No, I just don't really see it as an insult. Okay. So what's your response to those people then? Some say you're a bad fighter or some say you're annoying, some even say you're gay. It seems like you don't really care about the gay thing. No, I mean, I just don't, I wouldn't really have a response honestly. Do any of it? No, I mean, I guess my response to the fighting thing would be that I would just continue to fight and just put on good performances. Yeah. Is the second thing? I saw him say you're annoying. Okay. Well, if you think I'm annoying, then I don't really have much to say about that. I just feel like, all right, I don't think that's really a bad thing you can respond to. I personally think you're a pretty good fighter. I was just looking to make sure about the last thing, but you're kind of beating around the bush about it. Do you think I'm beating around the bush? It might sound like it. You're because you turned it into a thing. It's like it's not even an insult. I mean, I guess if that's how you want to answer, I don't even, I mean, it's just like not, I mean, well, if you want to ask me if I'm gay or not, you can ask me. Are you gay? No. Okay. Cool. It's like, why the nut? Because it's like you told me something good. I was honest with you to your knowledge. I was honest to you, but honestly, you know, if you told me you were gay and that was honest, I wouldn't have given you a knock. I was so you, so you have like an internal lie detector test. You knew that I was telling you the truth. No, you told me something that I like to hear that made me more comfortable to be around you. All right. I heard, yeah. If somebody paid you over $300 to take a dive, would you do it? $300 over 300 could be like $305. Now, really? No. I thought that the whole thing is that the UFC, the fighters are complaining about their pay. And now you finally have the opportunity to take a dive and you don't do it. No, no, I wouldn't, no, I don't really complain about the pay. I don't get the complaints about the pay. Yeah. Yeah, I just, you know, that is a thing, but I don't really that you say they pay you well. Well, I mean, it's just like, we don't really do it for the money. And if you do do it for the money, then like, there's plenty of better ways to make money. And I don't know. I just see that some of them are really just only good at fighting. But they're not great at anything else. No, I don't buy that. I don't, but anybody that says, I don't buy it, you're a liar. What about in God? No, I mean, like, not only is he probably good at fighting better than he is at anything else. He, I mean, he was living in like the jungle. So he kind of had to get good at something like physical. There's no, if he got good at computer programming, even if he could find a computer that worked where he was from, it's not like they're recruiting people from the jungle. Yeah, he could have done like rebar, like construction or something. Yeah, but then he would have made like $3 a year. No, those guys make good money. Not in the jungle where he's from. Okay, well, neither do fighters in the jungle. Okay, but if you're a fighter in the jungle, then you then you'll fight somebody from a city. And then you can end up living in a city. If you're what they're not going to poach good rebar workers and bring them to New York. You know what I mean? Yeah, I don't think so. I don't think so. I don't think I've ever heard of that. That would be pretty funny. That'd be like a funny idea for a movie, I guess. Yeah. The movie ends with the guy like living low class, but he's like able to barely afford rent. Yeah, you should write that. No, I mean, it sounds funny, but he doesn't sound like all that. Like in God was a much better story. Yeah, it all comes down to casting. That's what it always comes down to. I heard a conspiracy theory that in God who took a fall during the Anthony Joshua fight. Do you believe that? Why didn't even see the fight, but I did see Anthony Joshua knock out Jake Paul. And he looks like he's got some crazy good power. You think he took a fall? Well, he fell down, didn't he? He did fall down. So he also broke his jaw into place. Yeah. So that's what I'm saying. The theory would actually be right. The Jake Paul took a fall. Yes, he did take a, he took a major fall. Whether it was intentional, I don't think so. Well, I wasn't implying anything like that. I was just asking if you would take a fall for $300 for over $300. No, I wouldn't. Wow. He has quicker reflexes than you. You're a fighter and he's like 200 pounds. We got an hour though. We got an hour. Why did you try stealing that from him, though? I know that didn't make him mad. Yeah, but now he's going to beat me up for that after the show. Oh, I see he knows. He knows I'm going to steal that chair and be the chair or the seat. If you steal the seat, you're not going to have a mic. And then we're not going to be able to hear anything you're saying. You can move this thing. He's pretty bad. You're going to end up reaping it apart. Anyways, is it true that you said you saw they didn't Ross? I don't think he was sick. You think that what he said is going to hire a lawyer? No, he said he was going to assume me because it, um, yeah, for someone's right. Yeah, yeah. So I guess he did accuse me of sick. Did you do that or no? I mean, I don't think it was sick. And in case anybody doesn't know what we're talking about, what exactly did he accuse you of doing? Um, well, allegedly, I sent a picture of my balls to him. So that kind of goes back a little to the first thing. I mean, that's kind of like a little gay, right? Well, I mean, you could call it gay or you could call it funny. But why wouldn't you just send him a picture of somebody else's? I mean, I guess then you'd have to look at how does he even know that they were mine. Well, you just said they were. I said allegedly. Yeah, but I mean, that's not even a ledger. He probably hasn't like a screenshot of it. He doesn't. You're going to ask it? No, I mean, there's an option to just view it once. Well, I understand you didn't send them a picture. I get my managers calling me. Hello. What did you put in the code? Yeah, yeah, just walk to the right of the Prius. You want to go greet him? Should I go get him? You can go grab him. Just move that camera. The one by the door. Okay, do you want to come back in? I don't know. Maybe if I'm like a little like out of touch. I am I supposed to know who that is? No, I already told you who it is. No, I know, but like, is he famous? No. Do you want to sit on the floor? You could just you could sit on this right here if you want. Is that a no go? Yeah, just set this up. (door slams) (door slams) (gunshot) - No, no, no, no. (laughs) (gunshot) (gunshot) - Well, you stole my seat, but now he doesn't have anywhere to sit, so I still want. - Get sit right here, Brian. (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) (gunshot) - Ain't get, you ain't get all the way through. - Yeah, I know, but he just can't sit down. (gunshot) - You can try, I guess. - You can still price it there. (gunshot) (gunshot) - Yeah. (gunshot) - See, I'm the real winner. I just won big time. Now I got to buy two tables. - I don't know if it's about winning or losing, but-- - Yes, it is. - What do you, um, what do you think about Eric Andre? Well, usually I don't break the tables. - Usually. - Go! - Oh, you're pissing him off. He's gonna beat me up for that. You guys are punishing me, yeah. - Go! - Go! - Go! - I'm gonna get a torch for this. - Are you fucking that thing up? - Help him out a little, Ryan. - Nah, yeah, you're right, he's gotta do it. - What did you just bring this guy here to set him out of the door? (gunshot) - All right. I think, yeah, I think you did it. - So is this where you want to sit for the rest of the show? - I mean, unless we play a little musical chairs again. I get, Ryan, you can just stand there. - Yeah, we're at risk. (gunshot) - Yeah, maybe just, just pop a squat. - Yeah. (coughs) - All right. - Yeah. - Yeah, that looks good. - So, what do you think of Eric Andre? - Well, yeah, I said usually I don't break the chairs. I mean, the tables, but I feel like my hand was kind of forced there. - But how do you feel about him? - People have said that my stuff is similar to his, but I feel my stuff is much more serious. You know, he's funny, but I feel mine is more focused on the finance and the business stuff and going on in the world. - Okay. - I don't really like to play around or make jokes. - Yeah, he's a big joker. - He's a big joker. - He's a (beep) or something. Do you want to go back to that about the Aiden Ross thing? - If you have anything else to ask about it. - Well, I don't know. You basically admitted it, but I don't know. - Well, I said allegedly. I sent him what I sent, but, you know, I think, I could have said no. A lot of people have been telling me like, "Hey man, you could have just said no." - No, no. Why? To his question, he was asking me to stream. - So he asked you to do a live stream and you sent him a picture of your generals? - Allegedly. Allegedly I sent him a picture of two balls. - Why would you do that? Allegedly. - Because I allegedly didn't want to just say no. - Well, why would you want to say no? He doesn't have a lot of money. He could pay you? - I don't give a fuck about that. - The tradeoff wouldn't have been nice. - That's Charlie's telling us. - Oh, yes. Yeah, bring this guy. - No! - Bring this guy. - I haven't been trying. I've been waiting. - I'm champion of the world. Oh, fuck you up. - I'm a waiting house. - Oh, fuck you up. - Don't blink. Don't blink. He blinked. - Three hundred and one. - Charlie Z's actually my favorite fighter. - Why are you guys destroying my set? I have to pay for these. They were almost usable a minute ago, right? - You put the center block through that. - No, I didn't. I'm going to sue you like Aiden. But he has a little more money, so might not really work. - Yeah, I mean, you're up against my team. I don't know if you're going to win. - Well, I thought you were going to bring in somebody that was going to attack me or something or something. - That might literally just be your manager. - Yeah. - I told you he was my manager. - Hey, guys. Start for the interruption. And have to let you know that today's episode is sponsored by my Patreon. I wasn't able to sell any ad spots this week. Some of our flooring told me that if I wasn't able to get over 100,000 new paying Patreon members a week, he was going to steal my liver and give it to a baby. So check out some of the great Patreon content on this laptop. Think I'm a gigant. Well, check it out in a second. He's not working all on a second. - You find shit work. - Oh, check out. Go give me a second. Hold on, maybe it's because there's a piece of food out there. I'll try. - Do you think Tito Ortiz could beat a pug in chess? - No, maybe in checkers. - No. - I don't know about chess. Have you seen him talk? - Yeah. - Kind of sad, actually. Are you not scared of that happening to you? - Actually, I am. Yeah, that's a good question. I mean, it's. I went to school for psychology. So I took a lot of neuroscience classes. - Oh, that bullshit stuff. - You got a degree, it's nonsense. - Really? - Yeah. - Almost as bad as philosophy. - I don't know. I think you could take some good lessons from some of those teaching. - It's all bullshit. It's like feminists propaganda. It's making people gay. - It's making people gay. - That's what I heard. - Yeah. - I hope that didn't work on you. But you've said some gay stuff this show. You've been said allegedly. I'm just saying it's like, it would be no shocker if it came out that you were gay. If you took psychology classes. That's what they're doing. They're messing up your brain. They're messing up the brain functions. I heard that they put a little rock. They end up blocking. Because, you know, genetically, obviously, the normal thing is to be straight. So I heard they put a little rock in between. The curvature of your brain, the straight part. And that's what ends up messing up people and making them gay. - I don't know about that. - And then your brain will go around it. And then when these people have children, they'll end up being gay as well. - That's what it's like in genetics thing. - Yeah, they're messing people's genetics because they want to destroy the world. - Okay. - So that's why calling somebody gay could actually be insulting because you're essentially saying they have a messed up brain. - Yeah, or genetics. - It's almost like racism, right? - I mean, but in context, that could make sense too, no? - What, racism? - Well, let's say it's like some guy cuts you off in traffic. It's not reasonable to be upset. - I mean, yeah. - So that's what I'm saying. Every, it just depends on the situation. Not that I know how to drive or whatever say something racist to somebody like you because you seem to be mixed. - Yeah, you as well. - I mixed. - Well, you think I'm black? - No, I think you're Jewish. - No, I'm not Jewish. - I think you're part Jewish. - I think you actually are part Jewish. - No, I'm not. - No, you can't run away from it. I think you-- - I'm not Jewish, I'm actually-- - I think you're half Jewish and half Asian. - No, I'm not, I'm half German. - No, I think you are. - No, I'm not. - I'm half Spanish, like from Spain. - You're definitely not Spanish. - I'm a spaniard. Not like Spanish, like this people-- - No, you're not. - Who eats leaves in-- - No, you're Asian and Jewish. - No, I'm not, that's insane. - You're also-- - Yeah. - We'll finish what you're saying. You want to throw all of these insults at me. - No. - No, that's not an insult. I'm just-- - I'm just guessing your-- - That's actually racist saying that that's an insult. - Against two against Jewish people? - Yeah. - Okay, well, that's the truth. That's what I mean in some context. You have to be honest. - Okay, well, you're not being very honest. - About what about me saying-- - About your ethnicity. - I'm German spaniard. - Okay. - My people-- - I guess it's just a state of being-- - My people conquered the Native Americans here. I taught them a lesson. You don't respect my people, my culture. - Yeah. - I'm Asian, I've never-- - I mean, I can smell it on you. Like, you're not going to get-- - But I smell like fucking meat of domesticated animals. - No, you just know I'm Asian. - I don't know what that means. But we'll move on. Once a fighter achieved a lifelong goal of earning the UFC championship, should they then isolate themselves, starve themselves, because there's nothing left to live for? - I mean, I don't know about starving and isolating, but-- - Because they've achieved their goal, they might as well just lay down until they collapse. - You don't think there's anything more than a UFC belt? - Probably not for people whose goal is to become a champion. - You're gonna achieve your life goal at like 29 years old, and then you have 60 more years of just reminiscing on that. - I do think that that's a pretty tough way to live. I think a lot of fighters will do that. - A lot of athletes in general. I mean, this would apply to NBA champions. You know, they might as well-- You might as well just-- - Is it not fine? - Well, the ones that make it, I mean, the ones that do get the gold and the taste of glory. - Yeah. - Just saying there's not much, you know, to live for after that. - Yeah. - Yeah, I could see that. I mean, that's my big thing as to why that's not like a huge goal of mine, because I feel like it's a little-- people get fixated on the end destination, I feel like the journey. - So you don't really care to be a UFC champ. You just want to fight and stuff? - Yeah, I'm doing it to fight, and I enjoy it. fighting. You know, every a people that are like so fixated on, you know, the belt I get it, and I understand that like, you know, that's like the end goal. But if your mind is completely there, you're taking yourself out of the present. Maybe you're coping because you know, you might not get there. So you're having a predestined cope. Yeah, maybe maybe to coping back. That could be that could be true. Yeah. In case I never win. Yeah. But yeah, I think also it's just like I just really enjoy the present moment as to where I'm at. And majority of your career isn't going to be having the belt, even if you do win it. So it's like you're doing yourself a disservice. Well, I think it's a fixated on that. Really good fight or could like John Jones has had a belt. Majority of his career. As he? Yeah, I don't think so, right? Well, yeah, I guess with that long hiatus with Aspenal or whatever. Well, I'm not saying majority of his life, majority of his career. Yeah, I'm majority of his career. I feel like but on average though, that's not the case. And if you're so fixated on the belt, I get it if that helps you mentally try to get there. But I feel like you're just not really enjoying when you're not there. I love our mat moral of the story. Right. Why do you think that imposter is pretending to be BJ Penn's mother? Yeah, I don't I mean, hopefully they get to the bottom of it. Following up should BJ Penn have a gun? Probably not. Why is that? He needs to defend himself from from that imposter pretending to be his mother. Yeah, I don't think the imposter is armed though. So he probably doesn't need to be armed. The imposter allegedly killed all of his family members and he's now stealing all of the stuff in his possession with a gun. I mean, it doesn't matter what they used to kill them. If they killed his brothers and sisters, I don't think he said that they killed that's what I think he said. They switched them out. No, well, yeah, I think they're like, what does that imply? Well, they could be like kidnapped somewhere. They might not be dead. I think he said, I think he said that his family was killed by his, by his mother who's allegedly. Well, I don't know what many found on LinkedIn. He's just harassing. Well, hopefully she's alive and well and he finds her. His mother. Yeah. Yeah, whoever he's saying is. And so who do you think this person really is? This, this imposter. Um, I don't know. You have any ideas? He's playing tennis. He's trying to exercise because he's a little overweight. He doesn't even have a good swing. Yeah, that's not a good swing. I think my manager would stomp him in tennis. Yeah, I don't know. Uh, he's just, maybe, maybe, uh, what else is there on that Wii game tennis? Table tennis boxing. I don't, I don't know if you should do some boxing. But, um, yeah, baseball, I can't, can I see your baseball swing? Doesn't it hurt when you get poncho during a fight? Um, not often. No, I think I can remember like a handful of times that I actually like thought out. So what, I mean, what does that mean? So when a guy usually punches you, just because of the adrenaline or what? Yeah, yeah, I think you see adrenaline and sometimes it kind of wakes me up, honestly, like I get hit a couple of times and I'm like, all right, you know, let's why wouldn't you maybe just take a five hour energy before the fight? So you're really awake because in my heart would probably explode. No, it won't. People take fat people with hard problems, take that. It's actually been medically scientifically proven to be extremely healthy. Well, I don't really, I mean, I think I'm doing okay. I don't think I need really. But could you imagine how much more powerful fighters would be if they were just stacking up a bunch of those before the fight because it's not, it's not outlawed. You're really allowed to do it. It might be more entertaining. I personally think we should be allowed to take whatever we want. steroids, peptides, PRP, just everything. Oh, you think it should be accomplishing, huh? White monsters, especially that not allowed. No, we can't have any caffeine in the locker room. But yeah, no steroids and peptides definitely not. No, I'm being dead serious. So they probably wouldn't allow five hour energy. No, you could sneak it in, but they wouldn't allow it if they saw it. Would, would they be upset if you started chucking a bunch right as you were doing the wall? They say stop that. You can't do that. They'd probably take it away. They say, hey, stop that. Lock it off. Why? Because they don't want fighters to do well. They want to keep them low levels so they can beat them up in the back mentally. Yeah, maybe you're on to something there. I'll give you like $200 if before your next fight, you drink seven of them. Now you're going to have to up that number a little bit. I don't really have that much capital, but I think you know what actually, I mean, you have more. You're on the come up. You only have $20. Now you got $200. Well, I don't really, I'm not going to end up paying you anything because if you drink seven of them, your heart is going to explode. So it's actually, I could offer you like a million bucks right now. It really wouldn't matter. Yeah, well, you have to pay me up for it. And yeah, like I'll give you a contract, but I'll leave a little closet there that says, if I get fucked over and you lose the fight, the money comes back to me. That's why I said this guy is Jewish. No, I'm not. Yep. Definitely Jewish. He doesn't even have anything to say about that. Because he's disgusting. And you know what, you're trying to make me look bad in front of my audience. And this is everybody nice of yourself. Everybody comes on my show and says I'm Jewish and I have to keep denying it. And I'm coming up with all these excuses like I'm German. And it's like I'm tired of it. How about I'm just white and I believe in white people. White isn't really a race though. Yes, it is. It's coming up. It's coming back. White isn't coming back. White calling somebody white is lazy. I'm white. Is that lazy to call myself white? Yep. There should be, well, it's also just a lie because you're Jewish. No, I'm not. And you know what is a matter of fact, there should be two, two different races. Let's make it simple. White and bad. How about that? We send all of the bad people to Israel. Or you think about that? We could send like half of you. Yeah, we can smell it on you, Matan. We'll let you have it though. We could send your, your upper torso to Israel. Are you on board with that? No. Why? Because I'd like my upper torso. I want to keep it. Yeah, but that's the point I'm saying because you're mixed. Us white people, we want a country to ourselves. Why does everybody get a country to themselves besides white people? They don't. Other people don't? Yeah, I mean, the world is a melting pot at this point. No, it's not. Definitely is. I read. How many foreign countries have you been to? Like two, but not that many. Yeah, I've been to the UK and it's a nightmare. I don't like the UK either, but there's still other reasons why don't you like it? You wouldn't like the UK seven because I don't like when it was just British people shooting each other over. I don't think I like it then either. Yes, you would. Remember when cream cheese and jelly on a roll was big. I think that's still big. You know what that does to your system? What is it there? Poppy seed roll 16 pounds coke. The fellow drug test. Nothing beats cream cheese and jelly for breakfast on a roll. All right. Should animal shelters work with food banks and give them the corpses of dead dogs to feed homeless people. Wait, say that again. Should the homeless shelters work with dead dogs to feed people with food banks and give the corpses of dead dogs to feed homeless people. Man, people are not going to like this because you'll agree with me. No, I don't necessarily agree with you. I mean, the distribution of the homeless is like kind of making it weird, but honestly, I mean, we eat things all the time. We eat organisms all the time. So the fact that we're attached to dogs and we have them as pets is like what prevents us from eating it. But meat is meat at the end of the day. And when something's dead, it's reduced to meat. So I don't really feel weird about eating anything as long as it's meat. Now that's a gay comedy. Try sneaking in something gay right there. That's a gazing. I'm not even trying to catch you. I think you would be not on purpose. No, I really wasn't. I really wasn't. That's the problem too. I think that's why this is a thing is because I walk into these comments. Who's that? Yeah, you know what you did. Don't look at me like that. You know exactly what you did. You're not Charlie Z. Charlie Z wouldn't lose it a staring contest. No, that's not him. Yeah, he thinks that he's Charlie Z. But no, me and Ryan actually know Charlie Z very well. I just took a, I just took a punch from the goat. You know, he's not the goat. Mayweather and Wilder. Yeah, Floyd senior too. He, he, did you see that punch gave him? Don't believe this guy. That was where he is out there doing great thing. He's not out. He's not over here. He'd probably get a punch at Domino's employee in like three minutes. No, definitely not. Not as, not as well as Charlie Z would. Yeah, Charlie Z is great. Would it be beneficial for a fighter if they were gay since their opponent would be uncomfortable during ground and pound in other situations? They wouldn't really want to wrestle them. Honestly, I think there actually was like a gay fighter that was fully out of the closet and everything like he's gay. And I don't know how well he did. I think his name's like Jeff Molina or something. He doesn't compete anymore, but I mean, you should go watch his tape. That would, that's, is that a gazing again? Like a tape this guy out? Why would I want to watch that? None of the sites. stuff like the UFC fight okay so watching like he's highlights yeah yeah but if he wasn't a good fighter I'm not saying that if you're a bad fighter it'll make you a great fighter I'm just saying that it will be beneficial maybe so you know I think if uh if somebody's that volatile during a fight that should probably lose anyway what does that mean well I mean I don't know I've fought some like pretty smelly dudes in the cage like you smell them and it just is awful oh I was gonna ask that hasn't that hasn't really deterred me from winning would it be helpful to rub shit all over yourself before a fight no because it would make you slippery but maybe if you didn't want to get grappled so it would be very helpful but they especially for strikers yeah but they frisk you like pretty hard when you're walking to the cage they really like pat you down and make sure there's nothing on you yeah but he's more so just about the smell like what are they gonna put the odor in on you I'm saying like three hours before the fight you rub dog shit all over yourself and I mean I'm sure they'll wipe you down and get it off of you but one year if it's three hours later it's gonna be helpful yeah I don't know I did I fought one guy that smelled really really bad it was that it was when I was an amateur okay um and I remember I faced off with him and I literally like I don't know if he did this on purpose but he like hit me with a little breath bomb and it was like the worst thing I've ever smelled it was so bad and actually because of that no no I won but he really better than you would have yeah I mean yeah looking back on that fight I should have beat that dude up worse so that's what I'm saying it was actually maybe maybe you're onto something so maybe try that out yeah hey can you have that chair oh yeah this guy man oh yeah this one right there yeah why didn't we grab that at the beginning there's another table too good to ruin my whole set over nothing can you bring the table I don't bring the table can you grab the table no just the chair now you yeah you leave that there do you believe in um like birth chart and all that shit birth charts like astrology yeah yeah no I think it's a massive scam really so you don't know anything no but I think there's something to when you're born during the year and the seasons yeah do you really believe that yeah what I just said I thought maybe you're kidding no I think it's just craziness it's usually something that like women believe it's kind of how it's just honestly so they can sell them little rocks yeah I mean there's probably there's probably some some financial gain to stand behind it but um I do think that the time of year you're born has influence over you like you're probably a Taurus yeah I don't know my birthday is late April yeah probably but yeah that's Taurus what would what would be the influence it has on you oh well they say Taurus is like grounded yeah um stubborn smart and persistent so that's like seems like you a little bit yeah but that's such a nonsense like a description of somebody that could apply to just about it you are though it's very obvious there's okay but I don't know what he is in all of those were like April 23rd is like very Taurus what more important the size of the boat or the motion of the ocean um the motion of the ocean is always more important never underestimate the ocean that's not what I meant how to think about it a little bit the motion in the ocean is is more important answered your question there were there were two answers and I picked one of them what do you mean by that why do you pick that answer because you can never underestimate the motion of the ocean remember when cream cheese and jelly was on a roll was big you know what that does to your system what's that again poppy seed bagel with a 16 ounce coke nobody eats cream cheese and jelly for breakfast on a roll anymore no more what is with that what do you what is that bit that you're doing what what I know what about it what is one move people can learn to knock out any UFC fighter hmm probably the one where you whip out a nine millimeter and shoot him in the chest no but that's using another item I'm saying like a fighting move to take it out in a UFC fighter I don't know if there is one probably a sneak attack from behind us no in a fair fight you could ask my manager he probably knows are you a fighter are you like an influencer do am I supposed to know him from somewhere why do you like a s**t or something you bring a criminal into my place no this is just Ryan my manager there's nothing to gain from him being here he's just my manager he doesn't make any sense I feel like I'm supposed to know him from somewhere he looks like that's the question now are you from milk are you friends we still need a dumbass you don't like that guy I know him he's a real fucking fool he's a he's a whatever guy he's just I know he's gonna see this so I like to see you see the quake though and yes he's a little quake the quake yeah the quake what does that mean or we didn't we made you double down on it I just want to double down on it he didn't he said well he's gonna see this no I'm saying that that's why I'm saying he's a dumbass so he sees it you're getting the complete wrong so you want him to think that yeah exactly no double down I think he's a dumbass I just said it like five times I brought it up all right thank page what is the biggest number the biggest number is nine no it's not true will you ask that's actually one of the smallest numbers it's definitely not there's only eight numbers smaller than it all eight numbers are smaller than but 10 is much larger than it 10 is just one and zero what is the biggest number nine not individual number like you know like 10 million is way bigger I answered your question yeah but you got it wrong now you just don't like how simple it was that's true what are we going into the negatives you this is the math guy you're talking to he probably knows better than me that guy's from milk I'm telling you I don't know if you don't know who that is if you give you a fake name I know him I've seen him on youtube what youtuber you watching I saw him on the youtube shorts him yeah a knalk are you you're being that serious yeah he got a doppelganger out there don't you have like a ton of money from your sharing happy dad I don't know why he actually doesn't I know him I've seen him on youtube this is an OG you trick in yeah why don't you infuse your bones with adamantium like the Wolverine because then you will never lose a fight now why don't I just not do that never lose a fight haven't you already lost a fight I have well from this moment on because then it's a little risky I mean you've already I'm not trying to insult you here you've already shown that you could lose a fight yeah I have yeah but if you were made out of a fictional metal then it's almost entirely impossible that you would lose a fight well I probably wouldn't really be able to make weight because metal is pretty heavy yeah so maybe fighting a higher weight class maybe heavy weight those boys hit too hard yeah but you'll be made out of metal their hand will just shatter I don't know about that there's still a flesh below the or beneath the metal yeah I'm not gonna be hitting a metal skull it would probably be worse well yeah you're you're gonna end up like Tito or T's or something you say so if you do this idea yeah but you'll be done disputed gold I guess it's like a trade-off it is a bit of a trade-off but I hope I don't end up like that I hope at it I mean if I'm if I start talking like that I hope one of my I hope my manager here kind of snaps me out of it like what does that mean like he gets you get you better he takes like hey man you gotta cut this out you're starting to talk like I did yeah I think it's way too far gone at that point once you start talking like that you think you're gonna be able to pull you out yeah probably I don't think I've taken much head damage though thus far yeah yeah maybe I only have a couple more in me you know you have to leave I'm talking about fights I don't understand what you're saying like he's that's your man that's not your manager that's that youtuber no he's not can I get a picture with you after we're done shooting the episode I'm a big fan oh you I'm 18 yeah okay why did you laugh at April 23rd 2007 that would be 18 yeah younger than 18 that's probably a compliment because my mind is so advanced can I I know he's not gonna answer me but can you pull his hat off I want to see what's going on over there well that's it we have to film with long neck now
