Sean O'Malley Threatens Matan After Heated Argument
52m 8s
Sean O'Malley, an undefeated UFC world champion, shares candid reflections on his career, including a moment of vulnerability where he admits losing one fight to Marab, though he emphasizes the contest was close. He discusses tactical and physiological considerations, such as using heart medication to regulate heart rate during fights, though he remains skeptical of its effectiveness and notes his high baseline heart rate may be a disadvantage. The conversation touches on his physical approach, including his height and strength, and his belief that future fights against Marab require strategic changes. Sean also highlights the value of real-time external commentary, suggesting fighters should be allowed to check social media during bouts to gain objective insight. The dialogue explores broader issues like racial representation in MMA, cultural identity, and the perception of dominance in the sport. Personal anecdotes cover topics like food preferences, hair, and philosophical questions on consciousness and reproduction. Sean offers pragmatic views on abortion and eugenics, stressing consent and responsibility. The exchange is marked by humor, self-deprecation, and engaging commentary on fighter psychology, preparation, and future matchups, including a speculated trilogy with Marab and a potential high-profile fight between Conor McGregor and Jorge. The conversation concludes with a light-hearted nod to AI’s limitations in assessing cultural identity, emphasizing that ancestry—not appearance—determines Native American heritage. The episode blends personal experience, humor, and deep dives into fighter psychology and social context.

So please introduce yourself in case anybody doesn't know you and all that one. Sugar Sean O'Malley UFC world champion undefeated undefeated undefeated UFC world champion. Are you sure podcaster, YouTuber, influencer? Used to get in. Yeah, yeah, it's pretty much it. Okay, and in case anybody doesn't know you, please introduce yourself. Timothy Welch, owner of the Redhark Academy. Seems like a little bit of a promo, but I guess, um, okay, you said you were undefeated. How are you using like the channel sun and thing where you thought tapping would like lose the round only or how does that work? Um, I guess fans of you ask really is that it comes down to. Yeah, asking you. So I'm undefeated. No, I know what I'm saying. I lost one. I lost one. I lost one. I'll find out a minute. I'll admit it. I lost one time. One. I've lost one fight. 1991. 19 and what about what about the other one against Marab? Which one? The first one? Yeah, I won. Yes. Okay, the second fight. The second fight. He got me first fight was a decision. It was close. I'll give him that. It was fucking close, but I got the job done barely, but Okay, I like that bit. You have going on. Do you think you could improve your cardio for your next fight if you took a bunch of hard medicine right before you walked out? Hard or heart heart heart. Oh, it's a hard shit. Probably probably help me get a little bit more fucking jacked up, but heart shit. Um, like what? Like because it'll make your heart grow. You'll have a bigger heart during the fight. Maybe you'll have more power. You'll feel better during the fight. Um, if there's something out there that I can take that will give me more heart. I'll take it if it's legal. No, just the medicine they give to people with heart problems. It's a good question. Some people have a really low heart rate. Some people have wonderful heart. Mine's too high. Mine's too high. But you wanted to go higher during your fight. No, I would actually need mine. I'd like mine to go lower. Why is that? Because it's so high. You know, if it fucks in it, 200 beats per minute, I wouldn't mind chilling around 190 maybe. But isn't it if you get to 300, you'll be more powerful? No, we're here with my boy, Sean O'Malley. We're making music. We're rapping on some bullshit that don't make no sense. That's it. Uh, yeah, I don't think so. I don't think the 300 pride die. But only for a couple of minutes, like 30 minutes during your fight. Then you'll take the other medicine that makes it go down. Um, no. Well, yeah, that's my coach. It's a heart rate too high. You want to keep it low. Yeah, you want to perform with a high heart rate. It would be no good for that. Yeah, I don't know. Not cool. Like actual heart medication. Like the one that you would get from the hospital or or hospice, I guess. If we get away with it, we'd do it. Okay. Heart medicine. Hmm. Hey, I did my hair like you today for to take my hat off. Like me. Yeah. Yeah. It looks kind of similar. Cause it's going to the sides. Yeah. What's the benefit of being tall if you're going to get beat up by a me. Anyway, that's a good fuck question. Is it actually one of the most embarrassing parts about losing is to when they're fucking under five, five. Yeah. How tall is he like five one? Marab. Yeah. He's probably about five five five five. Yeah. And you're like five 11. Yeah. It's a problem. But he's powerful. You know, they have like a strong fucker. I don't know. Most of us are not extremely strong. It kind of works against them. But with him, it seems like he's being condensed. Yeah. He's they call them the machine. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. So what will you do next time? You know, are you? What will you change up there? Fucking pride next time. I probably just cracking on the chin. You know, wasn't that problem. That was probably the same plan as the first two times though, right? It was. Okay. First plan, you know, the first time we got it done. Remember yet 101. Well, I don't think so, but I'll. I'll watch it though. Yes, I did. I watched it. Yes, what day was it? Exactly. I don't think that's a representation of me watching it, but you could go ahead and say that what happened in the fifth round. To the body. Oh, I'm telling you I watched that fight. What happened the third round? The third round is that the one where he kissed you. No. Okay. Well, you see, I did watch it. I did watch it. So you watched the two most popular parts of the fight where I fucking. No, those are just the most memorable. What about you? Did you think Sean won the fight? Don't be honest, either. Hey, like that's the best answer you could give considering the circumstances. I mean, if you fucking, you know, shedding because I took my braids out. But I hear they just came out of that. Yeah, I took my braids out. Right. And are you allowed to check Twitter during your fight to see who Paulo Costa gave the round to? No, but you should be able to. Yeah, I feel like that's a good. That would be. That would be it's a good. Did they like take your phone before the fight? No, they actually don't. I'm here with my boys gang gang, rap on Instagram. Pop out autograph signing. Let's 10 mile ignore him. He's a rapper from Detroit. 10 mile. How are you? He doesn't have much to say. No, he just said to DM. Maybe if you want to meet you on Instagram, I don't know what he said. Well, you just sound like you knew what he said. You said what exactly what he said. Yeah, but I don't know what that means. I know what he said. I don't know what that means. Oh, fair. Is he setting up a fan meetup for you or something like that for us? Yeah, I guess. And so if you are allowed to check it, then why don't you go on Twitter during the rounds to see? Because then you'll have a more accurate representation of what people are thinking and you won't have the mistake go wrong like in the first Marab fight. Yeah, no, that's a good. That's a good point. I wish we would have been able to do that. It would have come up like with a revolutionary idea for fighters to do. Check founder and Twitter or check Twitter and fight. Yeah, I think I think the most important thing he said there was Apollo cost, uh, his opinion matters. Well, he's kind of objective. Like if you look at like somebody else there, one of those stupid Twitter pages, one of those random commentators. It's a little bit whatever, but he's been in there. He knows what he's talking about and he's completely normal. Yes, and he's a he doesn't have filter. Yes, so I agree. I think that's a should be implemented in the new Paramount deal. Most UFC fights consist of black people beating the shit out of each other. How has the UFC gotten away with this for so long? I think, you know, UFC doesn't see color and they just have the best fight the best and you know, but even if you're colorblind, you still see black and white. I mean, that's like the one thing you can always tell the difference between. Yeah, that's true. It's good. Yeah, that's a good point. I think that's true. It's kind of like Django. Did you ever see the movie Django? No. They have that guy, the black guy, Michael, Michael Jordan. I think that's his nightmare. He's fighting those people. That's a it's kind of like the UFC, but you'd think that the whole movie kind of depicts America before was, I guess, but they would say better is at least that's what they think and I'm saying they still have that stuff going on now. I mean, there's, um, I mean, we got some good champion summer black summer Russian. I don't we have an American actually. Is there an American Justin Gagy in term champion of the world? Yeah, I guess I, but yeah, that's true. No, that's true. Uh, we got all sorts of, you know, different different types of people. And your coach told me earlier that right before we started, that you were Native American. Yes, partly. Yeah, he's partly Native American, but like half a percentage or what? 30% 30% is that why you have that eagle tattooed on you? It's a red hawk. Is that why you relate to them? Yes. I heard that the Native American people at least, well, it's obviously not true, but at least they think they can see out of like a hawk's eyes. Is that something you think you can do as well? My father can. It's true. But he can. He may think he can, but I mean, you know, he can't, right? You know that he's not really able to do that. He's just going crazy. No, but he's getting old. You're saying they can? Bugs is dad can. I don't think so. I don't think that's how it works. I don't think there's special powers for the Native Americans. What ethnicity are you? I'm white. I'm German 100% German. Like a car. How many hammers could you kill at once if you were armed with a coyote? Hammers don't have hearts. So zero. So is that where you draw the line between alive and dead? Hard rate? Would that influence your stance on abortion? Borset's tricky. I got two beautiful kids. I'm glad we didn't get rid of them. Love them. Glad my mom and dad didn't abort me. That would have sucked. Yeah. So yeah, I think. Did you just smell them? Heart rate. Heart rate. When do you get a heart rate at a bait? Like how old? How many weeks when you're a baby? I believe in the first 30 minutes. Really? Of conception. Yes. It starts immediately. The heart rate. Is that chat CBT approved? Yeah, no, I just know it a fact just off my head.
And then the next big thing that goes on is they start talking but in their head like they begin consciousness at about like 45 minutes Yeah, that means who that's tough. I'm glad I don't My opinion doesn't I don't really have opinions on stuff things like that man. I don't know. What's your opinion on abortion? Yeah, I think that we need to be Practical about it. We need to take some people. I think we need to implement eugenics is what I think you know about eugenics Is that a balding? No, that's norwood. I eugenics is like, okay, this guy doesn't seem so intelligent He thinks he's able to to see out of a bird's eyes. Maybe let's not let him have any children. So if this guy Got a girl pregnant without her consent and she didn't want to keep it We should we could all agree like your coach or 10 mile 10 mile. I think if 10 mile Consentially had sit with the woman. No unconsentially. Well, it's the same answer for me. It has to be aborted You don't want to let somebody like that reproduce see now we're getting somewhere I would agree with that. And what do you think coach? Give me a chance at being a father No, I never know. It could change it could fucking change him But the genetics are still something's wrong with them. So you might be bipolar Even if it's not my fault the problem is that in the reason why eugenics is so great is because as we make advances We can start choosing eye colors and stuff. Hmm hair colors. How tall they are. So we could just start making everybody like Blond hair blue eyes. You know what I'm saying? Why'd you pick that? Because that's the superior I don't think blonde hair blue eyes is a ray. Is it? It's the traits of Germans. Oh as you can see I have that sort of style. Yeah Hey guys, I saw for the inner option.

This is why I'm saying we need to implement eugenics you want more people like this running around absolutely not you want This guy running around your gym. I don't I mean Which group has the most disgusting cuisine cuisine. Yes Food yeah cuisine Again, yes, Lezine cuisine cuisine. Lezine Ten mile We're trying to communicate. I'd say I'd say I don't I don't like Indian food. I Don't even count out as a cuisine. I count out is like a need like a necessary thing. They have to do it No, they maybe add some shit. They don't have to add some spices. They're like, hey, let's skip that Let's just fucking win need to add that go straight. Just just full shit. I mean With the shit in my opinion my I I didn't really I couldn't get that Indian food down it was tough Went to a nice place, too. It's just not my my taste buds weren't having it Yeah, yeah, I know this might seem a little biased, but again, I don't even count that as a cuisine or a group Okay, so so let's like I'm talking about like actual food that doesn't taste good not like a Feesies and stuff okay Who doesn't taste good Mexican food good. His hair is falling out It's called stress. I'm stressed, man right now. Oh, so stressed. I Don't know where I'm gonna win. I'm gonna fight again But might never fight again. Why is that you just never know you don't know if we're gonna wake up tomorrow So I'm stressing just stressing about waking up tomorrow. I mean, I don't think that stress is gonna go away. That's not Unless you die I guess my hair's falling out. I'm just stressing. I think they just did a bad job with the die They probably use like a not safe die organic Yeah, maybe try out what he's doing put it back in your head. You're taking it out. Why don't you put it back there? Yeah, there you go. It's a good idea It's a good idea. Ah Did you get him? Yeah, even like this Said tune on his tongue. I was like, oh careful. I think that I have nothing to do with you I think that's just what those people do naturally those people Whites Real people. Oh, did you ever go to the lost and found and start stealing shit? No, but if there was something fire there like and I'd say hey I've long just been here and if they said like over 30 days I'd probably grab it Well, you don't tell them that it's not yours You got to just go in and say you're looking for something and then you take it I'd say I've been looking for this has it been here for more than 30 days Why would you say 30 days? Because then like I feel like I can grab it because I ain't no one's gonna come back and grab it I for 30 days. I just feel like it's fair Yeah, but if somebody lost it the day before and then you grab it and they're not gonna grab it in two days because it's not there anymore It's yours now exactly the finders keepers losers weepers. Have you ever heard that? Yeah, I agree It's they lost it and I found it. I'm just saying why would you wait 30 days? You're giving them the opportunity to get it back Yes, what is like a nice gesture? Well, I would hope someone would at least wait 30 days before they took something that I lost If you lost something important you'd probably want to get it within 30 days You'd figure out where it's at and what about with his people they lost a lot, but it's been about 300 years But they won't stop complaining so kind of time is up, right? It's a good. I mean, hey They give us casinos they give us casinos and a monthly stipend So they get shit. I don't I wouldn't say they get give them casinos. They like give them small patches of like land that's In the middle of a flood and then they just decide to build casinos on it And then like 98% of them live in live in rubble, which I guess is why they're complaining Have you ever been doing Indian reservation? No, they're fucking they're scary. It's sad. A lot of a lot of S*** a lot of I've looked at one through a telescope It's a side of place. I think that's called a computer Computer so you never went there. You looked at one through a computer. I thought you you call it a telescope I think you met a computer. No, it's a hotel scope. I got close to one But I didn't want to go in because I was scared they were gonna eat me. They're cool. They're nice. They're good people But they're they lift some rough lives down down there, especially where it's cold Fucking blow zero fucking ball sack. Just frozen on and what about you? Have you ever met one of them? My father is one. No, I mean to like actually one not like you know like for real Yes, born raised on reservation. You was he born and raised on the reservation. He was fucking native very native Oh goodness. His name's chief red chief red chief red. I don't know why you got it, but Okay, I think they're just not really super creative. It coming up with names. It's like chief red chief doggy chief flying squirrel You know what I mean? Is there your favorite basketball player? Are you just like balls on your back? Hmm interesting if you bought something for one hundred dollars with the intention of selling it for two hundred dollars But you only got a hundred dollars and what's the fucking point? What a waste of time god damn it one serious truest thing I've ever heard I mean that sounds like a fucking waste of time unless you met unless the person you sold to was really cool And you became friends did I imply that anywhere in the question? Nope. Okay, so let's move on Yep, do you believe Tyson Fury infused his knuckles with steel in order to defeat the great deonte wilder? He didn't knock him out So why would that be implied? I don't know because deonte wilder has been saying he was cheating I don't know he didn't hear about that. No, I don't really see I don't really pay attention So he's been going on about these for years now Damn, I mean I would be unfortunate, but Tyson Fury You know what what freestyle 10 mile come on now I'll drop a beat you drop the bars He's not very good We'll go through search history Yo, I'm here with song of my little 10 miles If you have a place there you go.

Um, I mean I did hear the rainbow is kind of I mean the They kind of took their the rainbow and ran with it. Yeah, I did hear that But you know what I just Used to be a wonderful thing you could show two kids and it's like now when I see it in the sky It's like I get a I need keep feeling. That's probably I mean if you get a bowler from seeing a rainbow It's no a bad feeling like oh, they said a boner. No, and I keep feeling like a of disgust But I'm saying I kind of like to what you did if that was your intention. You're trying to show that like Anybody can do it. Not just a gay Interesting interesting perspective on that. Oh, that wasn't your intention. Wasn't my attention just you know wanted a wanted a pop on the TV In the rainbow popped Knocked out Eddie Weinland first time I did my hair beautiful knockout put him to sleep He was snoring at the apex no crowd.

I'm coming into my prime You know who knows I mean, I don't know if we'll ever fight again to be honest We're one-on-one people want to see the trilogy fucking 10 miles been bagging us for the trilogy So we might see that I've seen the opposite reactions. I've seen people saying there's no reason to do the trilogy because it's two and oh Yeah, I've seen that too. I'm not sure where people get that because that's what he says. I'm like missing
Information that's the official record. Do you think that the official record says one in one or that's just what you think? How the you think the fight went in my mind official record is what I think right or no not at all. No, okay Well, then yes, it's one and one. I guess since the fight didn't end in a knockout or submission technically It's sort of subjective how it went, but officially it's not subjective Yes, I agree with that and do you think maybe it would help him next time if you were able to get in one of your people's weapons Like one of those rocks how to attach to a piece of like water whatever a bow maybe I don't think they're allowed to use those things That's too advanced Then they create them please grease grease up next time. I think they developed that yet. I think they Did that I don't think the natives are allowed to use Vaseline did the I wonder what kind of Yeah, I wonder I don't know when that got invented man. I sure Have you ever gone into a fight confident you're going to lose? Yes, which one was that I'll do really and I love what knocked it as Alan boy Yeah, yeah, sit sit. I don't know if he thinks he's gonna fight you or what he's doing But this is what I mean. He's clearly not extremely intelligent But you actually thought you're gonna lose that no, no, I thought I mean that was that was the one in my mind I was like man. This is gonna be this is gonna be tough didn't have a great you know going in there 70% and he's the greatest band to weight of all time at the time You're saying you were 70% sure you were 70% healthy 70% healthy I was I was pretty fucking had a pretty had a rib injury and he's a he's a motherfucker He's still one of the greatest band teammates of all time and went in there and we did what we had to do And so why don't you kind of go into fights from now on 70% healthy? Oh, I have my did Murab fight I went in the first fight. I had a torn labor. I'm how to get surgery right off the fight. No excuses No excuses like you're damn right ain't none ain't hearing it from me No excuses. I had a torn labor. I mean I was you know, what up. Haha Did you play any sports in high school? Yeah, I played a basket ball. Oh In high school like at the school sport or like traveling kind of outside of school stuff No, like I I picked up a basketball and I threw it a couple of times during class during class Okay, so you balled you balled also how am I fucking my time I Never made one, but I guess it would still be considered playing it. You don't count playing as being good No, yeah, I might have asked you were good So I guess we answered the question if you ever played with a basket ball would have been a better question to ask Yeah, well, it's similar. I interpret it that way. Did you ever fart in school like just to make it a laugh? I don't think that would make people be laughing. I'd be disgusting If it doesn't stink well, if it less than it's like a loud one that doesn't stink then it'd be funny It's just quiet. Yeah, but how would you be able to know that? Oh, you can tell if it's gonna smell bad We can tell. How would you be able to tell you can it's a feeling? That sounds like sort of the like the natives keeps a friendly craziness, but like No, fans by the way, not that you should take any since you're not native, right? Mm-hmm hardly no He wrote a fucking horse here today. You didn't see that horse out front. No, I saw the that car he drove your maybe it's your car the Lamborghini with hell huh the green and shit sticking off it. Are you like a fan of Splatoon? I don't know that is what could never mind and what I mean, what did you drive here? Porsche see I caught him. He thought he was gonna say that, huh? I said horse, but it was a Porsche. I missed those my miss Got the one with the horse on the front is the logo. Yeah, is that what you meant? Yes He just smelled them again. What's up? We smelling him? Is that something you usually do you haven't smelled me? Not that I take any offense to that, but are you the richest person in this disgusting city that you live in? Probably not. It's probably some some people there some hidden ones that are secretly rich really you think so. I where would they be? If you're really really really rich, you don't wear shit like this Chill like what like a Richard in this fucking you don't wear it if you really rich, you don't wear it like that. Well, yeah, that's just a way to get a rob I guess Yeah, but we got swords and we got shit up here. Yeah, I don't think that or your fighting abilities would help much against a gun No, no, you're right, but we got guns in here too. What about that homeless disabled black guy outside? You know wheelchair. Yes, probably pretty rich. Yes That guy's around the building and scare people away. We have we are in a little bit of a spot Whether you're gonna see a couple homeless fellows and wheelchairs. Are you familiar with who I'm talking about that specific guy? I think so. He's familiar. Do you know his name or something? Yeah, I buy him cigarettes We keep him around for I actually respect that I think that people are trying to get these guys to quit and stuff that guy is literally disabled and black He's way beyond the point of return. Yeah, I mean, he's just enjoying life cigarette siggy by siggy, you know you get to get any tattoos Probably not know how come maybe Because I would like to hurt Tattoo's hurt. Yeah, so I could imagine you not really want to get him I heard well, I heard it. It's a really different page is depending where you get it That's a very accurate on the face. Did it hurt a lot? No, it wasn't too bad So we're on the finger didn't hurt fingers. They kind of hurt like the stomach but anywhere is super bony kind of hurts But the face is too bad just because it's only you know a couple minutes at a time I can see you getting a little face tattoo or something. I don't really think that would be my style But maybe maybe if I go crazy one day like a grenade or something right here a grenade Yeah, maybe like a tear drop to let people know I'm about business and shit. You stand on business. I like that I think that would just get me killed. No, it fucking you'd price You know go up in the list status Ladder start fucking bossing people around type shit 10 miles away to that Yeah, I don't I think they would have the complete opposite effect and I also wanted to ask you you had a clip where you said that You were happy that Ilya Taporia never accepted your call out. Yeah, it's kidding. He ran. He was at 145. What weight class? Yeah now 155? You're saying he left that weight class because he was scared that you were gonna move up exactly Yeah, I don't I don't know about that. So do you think you would beat him in a fight? Truly ability, you don't think so him. I don't know. It's tough. I think he's probably like the best or the second best right now in the whole I mean statistically. He is number two pound for pound, but he's still Five four, you know what I mean? Yeah, but you I mean it seems like you You lose to the smaller guys. How tall is she lost 510? Okay, so he's pretty tall. I should know that I met him He did I don't know if he's 510 though. I think he's probably shorter maybe a little bit. Yeah, I don't think he's 510 Yeah, I got a I still got a scar on my knee from his face Yeah, he just cracked his jaw. Yeah, I don't I mean that's what it sounded like that a little bit But now Elia is one of the greatest of all time I think he's gonna go down is I mean he's coming a knocked out Alexander Volkanovsky knocked out Max Holloway knocked out Charles Oliver back-to-back-to-back to the knocked out three Hall of Famers in a row and do you think he would be He's a lot market chive It's definitely possible those guys number one and number two pound for pound in the world I think that's the fight we need to see next it sucks because you islam is probably not gonna come back down to 155 Elia going up to 170 doesn't make I mean it's he's not a huge guy He's definitely you know he probably he can be walking around 185 190s. He's pretty thick So I think that's the fight that I'd like to see As like the White House made event, but I don't think the winner gets to fight Sean O'Malley if they're lucky Because after such a big fight like that they need a little bit to like a they need a layout They need an easy fight and I'd take it. Mm-hmm. Who do you think should be the main event of the White House card? Probably that ideally right. I mean it would be sweet But even even if you could pick Connor versus somebody even I mean, I don't know. I don't know. I'm just brainstorming here Yeah, Connor versus Jones would be interesting. That would be a big one Coco that'd be a coke off right there. Yeah, I'd like to head that party because they can't fight because it's a completely different weight class So they're just sitting there who will lie for lines who can take the bigger line. I think McGregor's winning that I think he's more in his prime to hit the bigger line. Jones is bigger so you'd think he could take more but McGregor's far more experienced I think experience-wise they're probably pretty close, but I think just I think John's you know, he's a man of God now and I think actually I think Connor is too Yeah, I'm sure I mean he's clearly he's completely sober and he's ready to fight I think we got to see a bit another Conner fight. I really hope we do and who do you want him to fight? Um, I don't know real fight not a real fight Connor versus I mean Conner versus Jorge could be a cool fight. I think hasn't even retired for like two or three years. Oh Jorge Yeah, yeah, but he'd still come back. I mean, I'm just trying to think of like a realistic actual fight that you have see could make Michael Johnson Michael Johnson. Yeah, because people just want him to fight Michael Chandler. So you trick him a little bit You make it interesting Michael Johnson see that could be a fight that could be a fight I can't imagine you have seen making that one. Yeah, but we for trick factor. I mean you definitely there's definitely something there You think it's bad to fight at the White House. Why is that politically? Maybe it depends on the fighter. I mean, I feel like McGregor's politics are kind of solidified right you think I don't think if you I mean he ran for like Presiding in Ireland. I don't think he's really ever going to try running as a liberal. I think I'd vote for him from McGregor. Yeah, why just it would be funny Just because your Irish press conferences would be lit Yeah, they would be I don't think they would let him do it. They would certainly have somebody take his place. Yeah, Where are you born here? Not in Arizona in Los Angeles. Yeah, so you can vote or you pray couldn't vote this last time not in the last one I so I would have voted for Trump if not Trump then Kanye. Yeah, it's not Kanye then RFK
Okay, so next year no four years three years to 2020 whatever next one about three years Yeah, are you gonna you're gonna be political? Are you gonna give into that more? Yeah, I'm gonna vote for Trump. Are you gonna express well third term would be crazy? Yeah, well that's what I'm hoping for I mean This grew them out of the first second. What how about we make it up and let them at least try for a third one? We'll see where the economy's at Well, I mean did you see it the whole it's it's it's 30 times larger than it ever was the economy? Yes, that's a real start by the way Crypto you invest in crypto at all Bitcoin. Yeah, it's Bitcoin's at an all-time high. I heard yeah sure is 68,000 Yes, it's you know, it's people think that it's lower, but they did what they do is stalks where they like split it You know what I mean? Hmm, so it's actually higher. It's like when Tesla went from like a thousand of 500 But it's really because they split the shares Interest so that's what they did with Bitcoin. Okay, so my my bet is gonna go back up that eventually. Hopefully you still have the same amount of money It's just Bitcoin. There's now more bitcoins. Is that true, Tim? 21 million you she's not allowed to know anything about bitcoins He's not even a he's so far beyond the point of being allowed to know about that unless you're not unless you're lying to me And you're not with my financial advisor. He told me to buy Bitcoin. I buy Bitcoin down hundreds of thousands I thought he'd probably be bartering with like bottle caps He does it he does I don't think he does that. Yeah, they're not allowed to use like soda machines yet, right? ZZZ, you know so can you translate that for me? No, 10 miles. Okay, cool guy. I'm a cool guy or 10 mile. Okay, good 10 miles got a fucking neck on him. You'd be good at Jiu-Jitsu following up on that how many long necks could you beat in a fight long neck? Like a dinosaur like people like me no long neck that disgusting guy from Instagram. Oh, you don't know long neck. I don't know I do yeah Foo probably I mean, I would have to just be when I got tired and I got decent little cardio sometimes so try 30 30 long necks That's it. I think it would be way I think I could do like 30 long necks Have you ever seen him and not a person? Yeah, he can't really when he's the next guest coming in in a couple minutes He can't really move. You know what I mean. He can go like this Oh, okay, it's probably a hundred if he can't really do that. I really don't I think you're really selling yourself Short here. I mean you seem to be humble not really. Yes. I am. I fucking wash my own windshield today at the gas station I tell me that I don't know that would be what humble is, but I Think you could get like at least three thousand of them three thousand long necks because basically imagine it like this How many punches can you throw three thousand punches a lot? Okay, well a kick is killing I mean they'll Any professional fighter hitting him will just crack him apart and yeah, yeah in 15 minutes I think I broke one of the records. It was a three round fight. I think only through like three hundred and 40 punches or something like that And that was 15 minutes. Well, you weren't you were you're not getting hit not really. Okay, well then maybe you could take about Yeah, but even if you just laid on the floor and took a nap I don't really think you could deal much damage. That's actually probably a good point right couldn't yeah, I do much with me How many steinies could you fight steinies? Yeah, you were steining a boxing match I think I could do at least like ten of them ten steinies. He's undefeated. He did beat a One of the he did beat Gabe Gabe is that the huge fat gay guy He's lost a lot of weight. Oh, I haven't seen him since I clear, but he did this advantage because he's gay He's actually got a what I think that would make him have a better chin on him. Yeah, I guess forget But in terms of like actual fight, they could knock him out Why would how would that help? Because he's got a good chin on him. He got a good jaw. I think the tough thing was tiny is that The real advantage he has is in a debate. He's tough. He's intelligent. Mm-hmm. Do you think Steine's intelligent? That's very nice you they call they call him a genius. Who's tiny? Who called him a genius? I don't know probably his mother Mrs. Steinberg something like that. Well actually that's it because I have to film with long neck now, but thanks for coming on Yep, nice to meet you. I know I know that you're white. I know that you're Irish. I mean you're there's no There's no brown people who have hair like that. Here. Let's try to get here real quick. Let me just ask you to try to get here real quick pause You can ask it. I mean it doesn't always give the right answer. It does try to get it. It's AI It actually gives mostly the wrong answers, but go ahead. Okay, let's see Hey chat GPT here with my buddies were shooting a podcast and Tim my buddy Tim well She's he's Native American. He's very white and has a red hair But my other buddy doesn't believe that he's Native American because he think that's impossible. Could you let us know? Hey folks, so being native I get the confusion being native American isn't about how someone looks on the outside It's about ancestry cultural ties. Not true. So if it has native American lineage, that's totally valid But he doesn't have Native American lineage is what I'm saying trust the background over the hair color That's what chat says no, so you refuse to believe AI I would believe AI if you gave me the answer I wanted, but if you give me the answer I'm not looking for the no It's fair to fair point. I mean I that's good. Okay, well that is it. We have to film with long neck now. Thanks for coming on. Yep. Thank you for coming in
