9. SPSpeaker0:18

   [laughs] It's, it's thick boy summer.

10. JRJoe Rogan0:20

    You looking healthy, son.

11. SPSpeaker0:22

    Yeah, like 190, man.

12. JRJoe Rogan0:23

    You look good, man.

13. SPSpeaker0:24

    I feel good, dude. It feels good to eat and not count carbohydrates and calories.

14. JRJoe Rogan0:27

    Yeah, we were talking about that. Were you, like, still, like, a little part of you is, like, looks at meals and goes, "Uh..."

15. SPSpeaker0:33

    Well, I mean, for the last 20 years, I've been macro and, you know, I knew I had a fight coming up. Even if I didn't have a fight, I had to be in striking range from 155.

16. JRJoe Rogan0:41

    Right.

17. SPSpeaker0:41

    So I was always looking at the back of every label, being real cautious of what I eat. It's, like, ingrained in my daughter now. When we go to Whole Foods, she'll grab something off the counter and say, "Dad, it only has three ingredients." Like, she knows what's up.

19. SPSpeaker0:54

21. SPSpeaker0:57

    Yeah, she, that's the first thing she goes to. Like, if she wants some chips, "It only has five ingredients." That's, like, a thing-

22. JRJoe Rogan1:02

    Well, good

23. SPSpeaker1:02

    ... for her when we're shopping.

24. JRJoe Rogan1:04

    Yeah. Well, that's smart, man. That's cool. You're raising them right.

25. SPSpeaker1:07

    I'm trying to, bro.

26. JRJoe Rogan1:08

    [laughs]

27. SPSpeaker1:08

    I'm trying to put the stuff I learned in fighting, you know, all the years-

28. JRJoe Rogan1:11

    Yeah

29. SPSpeaker1:11

    ... to good use.

30. JRJoe Rogan1:12

    It's, uh, it, it is kind of crazy. I think it's the worst thing about fighting, is the weight cutting. Do you imagine-
