EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    ... they get me…

    1. BS

      ... they get me all the time. I'm more famous than them.

    2. JR

      Aye, aye.

    3. BS

      (laughs)

    4. NA

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      (laughs) I wish we could tell you what we were talking about, but we can't.

    6. BS

      Oh, I wish.

    7. JR

      Uh, yeah, we were talk- talking about Joey getting in trouble, though. He just, uh, just texted me about it.

    8. BS

      How's-

    9. JR

      He's mad at these people.

    10. BS

      ... how's Joey Diaz getting in trouble with, what, the MMA community?

    11. JR

      Yeah.

    12. BS

      MMA outlets? (laughs) They have nothing to do?

    13. JR

      Well, here's the thing, though. I see where they're coming from. They're, they're journalists. If someone says something that fucking outrageous about what Mackenzie Dern's derriere must, uh-

    14. BS

      He said, I s- I think your ass smells great right now, something like that.

    15. JR

      Yes, something along those lines, we're trying to be careful how to, how to respect.

    16. BS

      Oh, the, you're talking about the comic, Uncle Joey, said this?

    17. JR

      Yes, the comic, Uncle Joey. But I get it. I get where they would ... And then Vinny Magalhaes backed him up. I get it.

    18. BS

      Backed up Joey? (laughs)

    19. JR

      Yeah, he backed up Joey, says something like, "And tasty, too."

    20. BS

      (laughs) Yikes.

    21. JR

      Yeah, yikes. I get it. Um-

    22. BS

      I don't get it. That's Joey Diaz, the great comic, who's commenting on a hot girl in the UFC. He is not a writer. He is not a journalist. These writers have nothing to do, so they're like, "How can we get hits? Let's talk about Joey Diaz."

    23. JR

      Right.

    24. BS

      'Cause no one's reading any of our shit.

    25. JR

      I agree with you in s- somewhat, but he definitely did do it. Like, it ain't a bad ... Here's my thing. They could say whatever they want about what he said, but if he was your friend and he texted you that-

    26. BS

      (laughs)

    27. JR

      ... you would do what I did. Look, 'cause I'll show you, he fucking texted me that before he tweeted it. (laughs)

    28. BS

      (laughs) Of course.

    29. JR

      I love that Joey texts now. Joey never would text message, but now he's a-

    30. BS

      Oh, I hope he doesn't keep texting.

  2. 15:0030:00

    Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. …

    1. BS

      tons and you're losing your technique and your form.

    2. JR

      Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

    3. BS

      It's dangerous shit, man.

    4. JR

      Yeah, you'll, you lose... And this guy was in, out of position too. I mean, j- his, his body was paralyzed.

    5. BS

      Damn, he's pissed. Tate's boy.

    6. JR

      Yeah, Tate knows him. Tate, Tate's big in that... He's, uh, deep in that CrossFit world. He knows a lot of those CrossFit people.

    7. BS

      He does a lot of those... He has a Venice Barbell Club, or what's his thing over there? He does something off Lincoln in Venice. He's always f- he's always there.

    8. JR

      Yeah.

    9. BS

      They have like some strong man shit, there's caves everywhere.

    10. JR

      Yeah, I know what you're talking about, but the name escapes me.

    11. BS

      God, me too.

    12. JR

      The Box?

    13. BS

      No.

    14. JR

      That's not it? The Box in Venice?

    15. BS

      No.

    16. JR

      Whatever.

    17. BS

      Calen works at Venice Barbell Club.

    18. JR

      Tate's always been into-

    19. BS

      Tate's somewhere else though.

    20. JR

      ... some kind of that kinda working out.

    21. BS

      Is it Deuces?

    22. JR

      Way back in the day. Is it Deuces? Yeah, okay.

    23. BS

      Deuce.

    24. JR

      There you go, shout out to Deuces.

    25. BS

      Man, what's up, Deuce?

    26. JR

      Yeah, Tate's always been into kettle bells and, you know, muscle ups and shit like that.

    27. BS

      Just cool.

    28. JR

      And just CrossFit style movements. And he's a big fan of CrossFit, he loves it.

    29. BS

      Have you done, uh, a ton of, uh, CrossFit?

    30. JR

      No. I mean, I've done, I do those kind of exercises, right? I do a lot of, uh, kettle bell stuff, I do dead lifts, I do a lot of things that I do-

  3. 30:0045:00

    BJ Penn fought, uh,…

    1. BS

      forget... I think he fought...

    2. JR

      BJ Penn fought, uh, Frankie Edgar. That's where, uh, Frankie Edgar won the title.

    3. BS

      ... and they, they've had Roy, Nog, or yeah, Nog out there.

    4. JR

      Yep.

    5. BS

      They haven't been back there in a while.

    6. JR

      It's been a while.

    7. BS

      It's been a minute, hot minute.

    8. JR

      Yeah. That one was crazy 'cause you, you saw bugs flying around that you never knew were real.

    9. BS

      Oh, it's some-

    10. JR

      Like, what-

    11. BS

      ... Jumanji shit out there.

    12. JR

      What is that? (laughs)

    13. BS

      I went on a hike, I was like, "Oh, I'm in Jumanji. This is cool."

    14. JR

      Like, what in the fuck is this?

    15. BS

      Shit you've never seen before.

    16. JR

      Yeah. It's crazy if you go to other countries, man. They, they're whole... They have completely different ecosystems. To the point where you look at things and you go, "What in the fuck is that? What is that?"

    17. BS

      But where it's dangerous, too. I remember when I was in Brazil, we were climbing this thing and they go, "Now listen, fellas. You gotta make sure..." And we're with the locals, like, "You have to come down before nightfall, otherwise they're not gonna find you." What kind of shit is this? So we just dipped out, getting up there, and my man (laughs) ...

    18. JR

      (laughs)

    19. BS

      My manager, Lex McMahon, got lost. He, we didn't see him for the rest of the night.

    20. JR

      Oh, no!

    21. BS

      And literally the local was like, "He's one with the, he's (laughs) ... He's one with the f- jungle now." I'm like, "Ho- what the fuck does that mean?"

    22. JR

      So how did you lose him, man? Is there-

    23. BS

      Is this a bad Rocky movie? Is this The Rundown or some shit?

    24. JR

      (laughs)

    25. BS

      What do you mean he's one with the jungle?

    26. JR

      (laughs) .

    27. BS

      (laughs) He just... He sh- he showed up a day later, just exhausted, didn't get an ounce of sleep, and someone in one of these huts took him under their wing and saved him.

    28. JR

      Oh, my god.

    29. BS

      Yeah, and Bebop did get helicoptered out of there for if they get trapped at the top. I was like, "Dude, I feel-"

    30. JR

      Oh, my god.

  4. 45:0059:16

    Right. …

    1. BS

      dangerous than T-City, as far as on the ground-

    2. JR

      Right.

    3. BS

      ... and, you know he-

    4. JR

      The way he locks onto things, there's a finality to it that's-

    5. BS

      His strength and his-

    6. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    7. BS

      ... now his belief in himself-

    8. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    9. BS

      ... with it, he knows how dangerous he is. There's a... And he... It... And really, it's... He's almost, you know, i- People haven't seen what that kid's capable of either. Like we, we've seen some cool stuff, but some of his flying triangles, his flying arm bars, and his, h- his, his grips and stuff, and his guillotines, and he has a lot of cool setups that we haven't even touched on, so.

    10. JR

      Yeah, he's, uh, e- one of the most impressive guys I've ever seen, in terms of like, when he starts locking something up, you know it's over.

    11. BS

      Game over.

    12. JR

      Like, "Whoa."

    13. BS

      Game over.

    14. JR

      Just super high level. Very interesting-

    15. BS

      But that's-

    16. JR

      ... because he doesn't have like world championship, uh, w- you know, victories in his past, right?

    17. BS

      But n- no, he didn't come up through like the IBJFF whatever the hell it is-

    18. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    19. BS

      ... or he didn't go to Metamorphose or anything like that. He's just this kid that grew up on the Gracie mats-

    20. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    21. BS

      ... and over time was that kid who was just like, "Goddamn, he's good," and just kept with it-

    22. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    23. BS

      ... kept with it, kept with it.

    24. JR

      Yeah. Now the crazy thing is his striking's become just as deadly.

    25. BS

      Fluid, loose.

    26. JR

      When you... You crack Frankie Edgar with an elbow like that and then starch him with that uppercut, that's like... He can do that to you standing now. When you're-

    27. BS

      Lift him off his feet.

    28. JR

      Yeah, yeah. It was incredible.

    29. BS

      It was nasty.

    30. JR

      So where's the, where's the picnic? Picnic's not standing.
