EVERY SPOKEN WORD

  1. 0:0015:00

    Five, four, three, two,…

    1. JR

      Five, four, three, two, ah! And we're live. Dude, I brought you to the dark side. Now you're playing Quake.

    2. BS

      I got my ass whooped.

    3. JR

      Yeah. Well, you were in a fucking melee. There's three other dudes in there blasting. It's a one-on-one map.

    4. BS

      (laughs)

    5. JR

      That map's chaos. It's so fun though. How fun is that shit?

    6. BS

      It's fun. It reminds me of GoldenEye. Did you ever get into that?

    7. JR

      How dare you, first of all.

    8. BS

      Nintendo 64. That was a great game, bro.

    9. JR

      That game c- that game can suck all the dicks. You're using those stupid Xbox things. Listen, you-

    10. BS

      You mean a controller. (laughs)

    11. JR

      ... mouse and keyboard is where you're at. That's why you're getting fucked up. You don't even know how to move.

    12. BS

      (laughs) It was hard for me to move back and forth.

    13. JR

      (laughs)

    14. BS

      (laughs) If it was a controller, game on.

    15. JR

      (laughs) What?

    16. BS

      For sure.

    17. JR

      Yeah. Yeah, 'cause nobody can move. Yeah, if nobody can move, then you're all right.

    18. BS

      With controllers?

    19. JR

      Listen, th- dude, that fucking-

    20. BS

      It's fun.

    21. JR

      ... that game's chaos. Jamie and I have been going back and forth for fucking four or five days now.

    22. JV

      You'd be surprised. There are a couple guys that can compete, a few, that can compete with the mouse and keyboard guys with the way that they, uh, control everything.

    23. JR

      I wouldn't be surprised. I'm sure they can but they have zero life and th- they don't even know what pussy looks like.

    24. BS

      (laughs)

    25. JV

      (laughs)

    26. JR

      They see- (laughs)

    27. BS

      But q- but Quake is, Quake is old school.

    28. JV

      (laughs)

    29. JR

      Quake's old school, right? Yeah. Q- we're on Quake 4, but there's Quake Champions that you play online. We've been playing Quake 4 because we can set it up on what's called a local area network, a LAN, and it's real easy, and there's no latency. It's just direct from computer to computer.

    30. BS

      It's fun.

  2. 15:0030:00

    I was stunned. …

    1. BS

      "What the fuck are you talking about?"

    2. JR

      I was stunned.

    3. BS

      This is one of the greatest title fight performances I've ever seen.

    4. JR

      Ever. Ever.

    5. BS

      For him to do that to Woodley and dismantle him, you don't understand. You have no idea what you're watching.

    6. JR

      Yeah.

    7. BS

      It's fucking insane.

    8. JR

      It's not just insane that he dismantled him-

    9. BS

      (clears throat)

    10. JR

      ... which is f- for sure insane, but also his fucking gas tank. Usman was pushing a- on the pedal for five fucking rounds, never let off the gas.

    11. BS

      How about the way he looked in between rounds when-

    12. JR

      Yeah.

    13. BS

      And to me, it was his mentality.

    14. JR

      Yep.

    15. BS

      When you look from the f- the first round, as soon as they break it up-

    16. JR

      Yep.

    17. BS

      ... he's... And then, "You ready?" and he's standing-

    18. JR

      Yep.

    19. BS

      ... there like this. I'm like, "Oh, shit."

    20. JR

      Oh, he was... Do you know that-

    21. BS

      (clears throat)

    22. JR

      ... the word was that he had a fractured foot?

    23. BS

      Correct.

    24. JR

      So he took a fucking cortisone shot coming into that fight. Imagine that.

    25. BS

      Savage.

    26. JR

      Imagine that. And still no problems with his endurance. Apparently, didn't train the whole week of, just didn't do shit, still made the weight, no problem.

    27. BS

      But think about what he has to do.

    28. JR

      (sniffs)

    29. BS

      His coach is going, "All right, you gotta go in there. You gotta out-grapple-"

    30. JR

      Mm-hmm.

  3. 30:0045:00

    Yeah. …

    1. JR

      I'm, um... I feel bad that Mark Goddard responded the way he did because it's, it's not very professional, and I think it's very emotional, and I think he's probably just feeling the heat.

    2. BS

      Yeah.

    3. JR

      Yeah, you-

    4. BS

      Go hard on him.

    5. JR

      Yeah, you feel that heat and you get angry. You know? But, uh, I like Mark Goddard. I like him a lot and I think he's a very good referee.

    6. BS

      I, I think he's top one to two refs in the business. I love Mark Goddard. He fucked that up.

    7. JR

      My question is, I wonder who is telling them they should stand things up and when they shouldn't stand things up. I wonder-

    8. BS

      It's the pressure he feels.

    9. JR

      The pressure he feels. From the audience you think?

    10. BS

      From the crowd.

    11. JR

      Hmm, maybe. It could be that. British people are very nice. You know, sometimes when English people, they're more accommodating.

    12. BS

      You gotta know what you're dealing with, man.

    13. JR

      Yeah.

    14. BS

      Y- when you got two world-class wrestlers-

    15. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    16. BS

      ... and this guy's impossible to take down, he's one of the best of all time-

    17. JR

      Yep.

    18. BS

      ... let it go.

    19. JR

      Let it go. Well, I think let it go, period. I just, I do not agree with stand-ups 'cause I think if a guy can hold you down, like, that's what I was saying about Ben Askren. If a guy like Ben Askren can hold you down and give you noogies until the fight's over-

    20. BS

      Do something about it.

    21. JR

      Yeah, do something about it. Exactly.

    22. BS

      Do something about it.

    23. JR

      If he's not cheating.

    24. BS

      No.

    25. JR

      If he's not cheating, keep it up. But-

    26. BS

      Do you know how hard it is to control Woodley on the ground?

    27. JR

      Yeah.

    28. BS

      It's impossible.

    29. JR

      And you only have five fucking minutes. You have five minutes to sink a choke in, five minutes to hold onto him and beat him up. And, uh, look, c- look, all credit to Usman. He didn't even fucking care. He got stood back up, didn't complain, went right back at him and took him down again.

    30. BS

      Took him down again.

  4. 45:001:00:00

    A little cortisone? Do…

    1. JR

      (growling)

    2. BS

      A little cortisone? Do all the fucking-

    3. JR

      No, no.

    4. BS

      ... worms you want, bro.

    5. JR

      Yeah, don't, don't give him cortisone. Just give him some stem cells, get that motherfucker up.

    6. BS

      Santos, Santos is an interesting fight for Jon.

    7. JR

      Yes. He's interesting because Santos throws fucking nuclear missiles-

    8. BS

      Bombs.

    9. JR

      ... at your head. And, you know, he did stop Jimmy in , he stopped several guys at light heavyweight. He looks spectacular at light heavyweight. He stopped Anthony Smith in their last fight at middleweight.

    10. BS

      I, I would imagine Santos is almost a bigger underdog than Anthony Smith.

    11. JR

      Um, I would imagine that too, but I would imagine that he's not going to fight like Anthony Smith. Is he okay? What does it say? What does it say?

    12. BS

      "I'm fine. My shoulder's not too bad."

    13. JR

      Not too bad is not a good thing to say. "I just need to do some exams and check to be 100% sure that it was nothing serious." Okay, that doesn't mean it's okay. Because the thing about m- shoulder tears, and this is coming from someone who's had some shoulder issues, they, it feels all right until you do something weird, and then it hurts, and then you're like, "Fuck." And then you get an MRI and then they look at it and they go, "Oh, you got some tears in there, son."

    14. BS

      But sometimes it's not shit. I've had a problem where I'm like, "Dude, I'm fucked, I can't move my shoulder."

    15. JR

      Right.

    16. BS

      Then two days later, like, "Well, fuck it, let's do it."

    17. JR

      Right. That's usually like sore tendons or sore muscles.

    18. BS

      And he was doing the worm.

    19. JR

      Yeah, but he fell face first and landed on his shoulder weird.

    20. BS

      But I'm sure he's done, doing that.

    21. JR

      Uh, maybe, man, I don't know. It's hard.

    22. BS

      Dude, how about his post-fight speech?

    23. JR

      Yeah, he's hilarious.

    24. BS

      "I love Mickey Mouse."

    25. JR

      Yeah, he's hilarious.

    26. BS

      Okay, well-

    27. JR

      He's a real character.

    28. BS

      He's a character. We need to work on his English, but he's gonna go far.

    29. JR

      Yeah. Motherfucker has some power.

    30. BS

      That flying knee.

  5. 1:00:001:02:32

    Usman's muscular as fuck…

    1. JR

      the size of a running back's. He has giant-ass legs.

    2. BS

      Usman's muscular as fuck too, though.

    3. JR

      He is, but Usman's longer. Longer, it's different. Like, it's not, it's not that stacked-

    4. BS

      Dense.

    5. JR

      ... jacked, dense, almost powerlifting muscle. And, and that muscle is one of the reasons why Tyron is so fucking fast and powerful. But it also, you could make the argument that that muscle just comes with an unavoidable price, and that what he's been really able to do is jack his conditioning up as high as possible and then also do a really good job of controlling the pace of fights. He couldn't do that with Usman.

    6. BS

      Good point.

    7. JR

      Could be. So we don't know. I feel bad for the guy. I'm a fan. I want to see w- i- if he wasn't 100% focused, I want to see him one more time focused with Usman, but-

    8. BS

      Here's the problem. Like with, with, um, um, with Cejudo and TJ-

    9. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    10. BS

      ... caught behind the ear, stopped early. All right, rematch. For sure, rematch. Other guys where it's quick, Cain Velasquez, JDS, quick rematch, let's do it, run it back.

    11. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    12. BS

      When you get outclassed for f- 25 minutes and there's two, eight, 10 rounds-

    13. JR

      Mm-hmm.

    14. BS

      ... it's tough to, to g- there's no way, obviously there's no way you can rematch.

    15. JR

      Right. Yeah, Cejudo and TJ-

    16. BS

      So I'm telling you-

    17. JR

      ... you could, you could really call for a rematch in that fight.

    18. BS

      The, the UFC is gonna make Woodley's path to that title shot a fucking nightmare, man.

    19. JR

      Who stopped that fight? Cejudo and TJ, who stopped that fight? Who was the referee in that fight?

    20. BS

      I'm not really-

    21. JR

      Was that Herb?

    22. BS

      No.

    23. JR

      No? Who was it? So Leon Roberts was the one who separated Demian Maia-

    24. BS

      Was it Roberts again?

    25. JR

      ... and Usman.

    26. BS

      I want (claps hands) to say it's Leon Roberts.

    27. JR

      Yeah. Was it Leon Roberts? No. Uh, gentleman-

    28. BS

      Oh, no.

    29. JR

      Uh, I forget his name.

    30. BS

      Powerful haircut, though.
