The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Kevin McCullough
"Welcome to the Eric Mataxas Show. Do you like your gravy thick and rich and loaded with creamy mushrooms? If no one was looking, would you chug the whole gravy boat? Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Stay tuned. Here comes Mr. Chug -a -Lug himself, Eric Mataxas. Hey folks, welcome to the program. If you're like me, last night you were able to watch the debate and you deliberately skipped it for your mental health. That's just where I am in life right now. I caught parts of it which made me wince and cringe, sometimes wince and cringe. I never wept, but you know what, it's probably better for me to find out what my guest thought. He may have watched the debate. My friend, Kevin McCullough, we call you votes tridamus because you are a prognosticator, a seer, a prophet politically speaking. Kevin McCullough of that Kevin show, how are you? I'm well and I can see some things very clearly today. There should be no more debates. These exercises in futility, and that's what they've turned into, are becoming embarrassing to the cause of what this election should be about. And last night, it's just hard to put into words how bad this debate was, from its execution to the policies, to the answers. It was just nothing good about it. Some people in my audience care about this. I'm in Irvine, California. I'm in a hotel room you people can see. I'm speaking today, so today's Thursday in Costa Mesa. So if anybody wants to come and hold my hand and hug me about the sadness of the debate, or just talk to me or get book signed or whatever I'm going to be tonight in Costa Mesa, you go to my website, ericmataxas .com, and you can see me and talk to me and hang out and whatever tonight in Costa Mesa. This is Thursday, folks. And tomorrow, there's a prayer breakfast here in Irvine that I'm speaking at. But the reason I bring this up, Kevin, is because I rarely have time to turn on the TV. And last night, I realized, oh, I'm pretty wiped out. Let me turn on the TV. Let me just look at the debate just to see. I literally really couldn't bear to watch it. So as someone who watched it, I'm talking to you. Am I being cruel or unfair? Because it was unfair. What little I saw was genuinely unbearable. No, as I was saying just a second ago, from the way it was structured, to the execution, to the answers to the substance, the format's wild and out of control. There's not really a possibility of getting very deep on any one of the single questions. And I think a lot of the questions that are being asked are not the right ones. And so as I've watched, and I didn't watch all of last night's debate in real time, I caught up on a bunch of it after the fact. But as I've sat through both of them now, it is easy for me to ascertain that no one in this field on that stage last night is serious about becoming president. And they're not biting into the enormous lead that the former president has only built on since the first debate occurred. The first debate, they had 11 million viewers put to put that in perspective, Eric, in 2015. For the first debate, they had more than 15 million viewers in 2020. For the first debate, they had about 18 million viewers. You're talking about a diminishing return a, a much less interested Republican base watching these, and they're not they're not going anywhere. And in the meantime, it's putting even with some of our better idea people on display as amateurs, even with Doug Burgum on the stage, hard to believe. Yeah. That would be like a rematch between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson. You're telling me people, Lisa Hutchinson was not able to be on the stage this time, as far as we know. Yeah, I think he took a, he took a face shot in the early rounds, and he was in his dressing room. Honestly, the thing there, what I said on Twitter this morning, was that they acted like it was 1985. We are living in a time in America, where most people see, we are in freefall, hell has been unleashed. Things have gotten so bad on so many fronts that it is, if you don't believe in God, which I do, and I trust in him, but if it weren't for that, I'd be scared to death. What is happening in this country? And they acted like it's 1985. And we're gonna, we're gonna have this conversation. And I thought, this is this is bad. I mean, the way the the deep state has been weaponized to go after Donald Trump, for example, I don't care if you're running against Trump, if you like Trump, but if that doesn't strike you as, as fundamentally un -American and sick as anything, as though, you know, we were being bombed by China, it's pretty bad. They seem not to be concerned. Well, they're responding to questions that have been supposedly thoughtfully put together by the moderators that are doing the debate. And Ron DeSantis did a little bit more of this last night, all of them to have done more of this, where he actually came with a little bit of an agenda to give little speeches every time that he was given the opportunity to speak. And he got more things out on the record than what he was asked about. But that should be the strategy of every candidate going into every debate. That should be the strategy of every thinker going on every media outlet that you can. Sometimes, Eric, it's better for me to go on Fox or Newsmax or somewhere and have something that I'm more intent on saying that what they want to ask me about. And if you're, if you're running for president in times of crisis, and I don't, I don't view the period that we're in right now as a peaceful time. We're not actively at war with anybody, but we are actively at war with evil on, on almost every front. So we need, there needs to be an urgency. There needs to be a sense of, we cannot phone it in and do it like we've done it in the past, especially knowing that we are going to run up against probably illicit, illegal, cheating schemes, trying to keep the election from actually being determined by the people that have the right to determine it. And before people criticize me for that, we've replaced the population of the bottom eight states in just illegal entries into the country over the last three years. Well, let's do that in a minute, because you wrote an article at townhall .com. That is one of the stunning nightmares that they acted like not, not really a big problem. But what you just said about cheating, I think most Americans know the Democrats cheat at elections. How is that not the most important thing to discuss when you're talking about a presidential election? Are you and I imagining, are millions and millions and millions and millions of Democrats actually cheat? Now they've done it for decades, but now we know that they have turned it into a science. They are at war with we, the people, they don't actually care about winning in a fair way. They just care about winning. How is that not unbelievably important and something that has to be discussed? But the Fox hosts and the Latina from Univision, which is another bizarre thing, they seem to act like January 6 was Trump supporters being violent. They seem to act like the election was fair. Biden won. What world are they living in? All of them. I don't know what to say. And obviously, I think Vivek and Ron DeSantis, they're the only two candidates that I can take seriously. I've got problems with them a little bit. But the whole thing was like, they were all play acting like we're living in a different America than the one most of us are living in. Well, I will hold one exception out to what you just said. And I believe that Nikki Haley had a sense of urgency about her last night. And she did in the first debate as well. And I think that's why she's now out polling DeSantis in several polls, is that people are beginning to understand that as a former governor, she probably has a shot at the VP pick. I don't think the VP pick is going to come out of this group. But if Trump did want one that I'm seeing kind of be serious on the issues that are the most pressing, she's the one that kind of gets the vote in terms of... I think of her as deep state, neo -con, next. All right. That's fine. I'm just saying in terms of her performance thus far. We've got you our wonderfully. I'm so glad that we do. We'll be right back.

"That that he shouldn't have been in a ring up and said we but But anyway did take fight on short notice that's a fact To replace deloite. And you know just eight years just the the names change but the results. Don't i put out a tweet with rob that Night afterwards. I felt very sad. And i put out a tweet that basically said this the names change but not to sadness and not the results whether it's joe louis in there cuma seattle and that's not so lewis says shadow of joe lose whether it's muhammad ali in there with homes. That's not my alley. Or whether it's holyfield in ed belfour. That's not wholly feel. That's not the case. So we we remembered in their glory days. You know there was so great. They were so great. So crate and It's sad it's sad to see and would there's got to be a line drawn somewhere. Because i think everybody knew. I think there was a video that had been released. Not wrong can where as show holyfield in training that really set out like warning signals like he looked open workout media. Day a couple of days. Before i didn't see i didn't i'm not gonna. I always going to always tell the truth. Obviously and but i heard about it from people that i know that their judgment mean something and they said it looked like the guy holyfield just ring. I mean is watching a workout. You could see that he was damaged. And you know belt florida's a younger guy. Hello young in better shape. And you know whatever. He didn't take the punishment over the years. Above foes a hell of a champion. Help a ufc. Give him his his credit in his respect and he was ready but an holyfield again he took it on short notice but but he's not at this point in his life stages for him to do this. And you gotta draw a line somewhere because someone's going to get hurt when when you start going to these places and You know. I mean there's one thing when you know i mean even we'll be knocked out robinson nate robinson. I mean that that could have been. That could have been scary. You know that could have been some the stuff. Do i have the answer once. You open the gate. Who do you close it on. It's tough really. And i get it that once you open that gate. Teddy you know what who do you go through. Can't go through to gotta have some way some criterium you got to have some way of knowing and you have some way of stopping the ones from getting to the gate that that you recognize. No no and you've got to stop the reason why the going to the gate and this is that is right that key. They go into the gate. Because it's a sport that. I know you could say you want that. They shouldn't be in that position. Hey hey we all make mistakes and we all do things we think we we're immortal at a certain point in our lives and when you making money sometimes you don't think about tomorrow you just dig about today. That's right and it said i get it. I understand it. But what i'm talking about. Is that my sport. That i've been in almost fifty. Years is the only major sport that doesn't have a pension for retired fighters and it should it should. I know it's a little tricky because we don't have a national commission ice cream for my seat at espn for twenty five years dead as national commission. And and i tried. And the best i could i even met with the late. Great senator mccain Down in congress Down in the senate. They're in washington and talk to them about trying to do something and he was trying to do something we never got it obviously fully done but we we would try to to get a national commission together so you can have the infrastructure because it's hard to have a pension when there's no infrastructure to attach it to and there is no infrastructure in boxing the other sports have that infrastructure. But you still. We need a pension because if you had a pension for some of these guys they would come back to this gate. That i talk about. They wouldn't be coming to it and holyfield might not be coming to it and i hate to even say that with all the money that he's made whatever i mean but i mean because they have so much respect and care love for for holyfield and he's even coming from my foundation dinner We had him on last year on the verge of virtually calendar dinner. I mean just obviously a special special person mad and to see you in this position having to put himself in a ring this point at fifty eight years of age and do it on quick notice was beyond said and in some ways i mean i i. I understand responsibility. But i always wanted to stand this sport. The sport has responsibility to look out for the fighters and it doesn't do a good enough job. We just went through this thing with banned substance without dez. A rule that he that he can't fight hippie suspended. What are they do. They just out the window because they he's with avenue want them to fight and they want to get their money they want to answer They wanna pleased promoter. Who who of course has won the network And he wants his champion to fight on that network date. Because that's how it works. You don't wanna put in a replacement so you know it. It has to happen because the money comes first. And i have a plan and i had a plan for how you could get a pension. It's never going to happen if we don't have that infrastructure but it would it wouldn't be that hard difficulty but it wouldn't be that hard it could get done. You put two percent tax on the biggest the big fights of the year..

"With a guy like with a guy like silver the differences. He's he's taken this very serious very serious and maybe with the bigger gloves. It helps them because he he was in. He looked like a shot guy in a ufc world. You know because. I think he's the greatest of all time so i. I think i'm allowed to say that. I think you're allowed to say the truth and of giving them all the respect in the world. No way that. I'm saying it but he's got a little bit of a second breath a little bit. I mean i'm not saying he could go out there and fight guys that. Are you know that young guys but to fight these kind of guys he got. He takes it very serious and with the big gloves. Maybe that little extra protection makes a difference. And i tell you you know what i'd like to say people are gonna go nuts but i'm gonna go all the way with it. You know me. I'm gonna keep going. I i like to see i liked. I know. I like to see so five paul next i really would. I would like this. I like to see that. I'm putting it out there The media outlets. I know that you know. I know the people listening to this show and They put this stuff out there that we say When they think it makes sense though say did and and it gets people's attention they put it out there and i know that we're very blessed and grateful that all the fight is out there that they're listening to the show and watch to show and they come on the show with very very grateful for that and we respect. We're very appreciative that that but i'm telling you i'm putting it out there. That's one that i. And i'm the first one to be critical when it's wrong and i give them credit that they're smart. That found a way to make money. I look at both sides and unfair about it. But a lot of boxing establishment. A of the boxing you know hardliners. Life is There'd be mad at me a little bit like teddy daddy even give credence to this stuff. How do you do that. I don't know. I put my deodorant on and brush my and then i do it. I feel baby band life. Fish life run through taking baby. So i i listen to my man can take it easy baby. Listen i that's a fight. I'd like to say i as long as we're in this world i'd like to see sova and paul who of course has beaten to ufc fighters he'd beat aspirin the woodley. Let them you know they're talking. Next is possibly our friend mazda. Let me ask you this. would you rather see him. Fight hor muslim. Follow anderson silva i either one i mean mazda dole. Either one would be really very interesting and not not where you could just say it's a slam dunk. Could soleil up you know. It's it's fixed in a way where you know. He picked the guy that you always gonna win not fixed in a way that that the judge is fixed it. but just in a way that Obviously they calculated that the other guy can't win because of whatever the shortcomings are but of the advantages are These would be to that. You could see him not winning That would be really moskva. Dole's good striker. He's you know he's got quickness. He's got athletic ability. He's got good legs. He's got good instincts. Really good instincts. he's a fighter. I would be freaking interesting. I believe that wounded happens. I believe it wouldn't happen. I'm not. I'm just saying. But and i would also look silva's odor. What does he forty two now. Forty four whatever. I don't know he's he's you could find out you my man but I know he's older. Mazda does still in his prime so that would probably be the one. You'd wanna see if you can have your choice. Be honest But but i wouldn't mind seeing. Sylvie the either one of those goods say if jake balk and beating the one of those guys he's gonna get a lot more. How old is over. How old is silver. Yeah you get a lot more credibility the beats those guy gets a lot of grace forty six forty six and six. Obviously you'd think more chance and more legitimate fight. Somebody but still have physical prime. But either way i i you know i i think either one of those obviously had your druthers i would say i'd rather see mazda dole but yeah either one i would think is some some interest. Yeah it was hard. Not to bad for tito. Ortiz knocked cold on his face. Such a off guard. You're right this is like this. Why they don't say we don't play boxing right. This is going in there. It's it's just hard to see. And what was even hotter to see. Was the main event veto appel for gets him with the band of holyfield. Late minute a last minute. Replacement for oscar de la hoya allegedly has covert. I start to wonder if he really had cove it. Nevertheless they get in there with the vander holyfield who was supposedly getting ready for a possible fight with mike tyson so i don't think he was right off the couch but nevertheless he was like fifty something years old was hard to watch. I mean watch it. Even watching holyfield gets through the ropes at the beginning of the fight was hard for me to watch and it ended exactly as we'd expect got knocked out you know event or what have said. They stopped the too early. But i think they saved them from like a serious injury. Because bell fort was belfort. Who's had a long history of doping look like a physical specimen event or holyfield was always physically fit they both looked great for their age but belvoir just look young and strong and just put it on them would just see. I mean i hesitate to even say. Would you see there because it was just one way traffic in a hard hard. One to watch percival holyfield took the fight on short notice..

"But they raise. Tom would give kudos to who ever higher stage tax. I think fay is a person who is done in the ring but shown with our without an ounce of a doubt they she understands what it takes not only metal wrestling fans but to go viral and to build a brand the fucking trials and all that shit was built off the back of fade. It was the cream squad. Shit is built off the back of faith everyone. Every company respects that all part of it the mode as part of their own forget main roster like say has these ideas and execution that shows she goes beyond the normal realm of pro wrestling and pro wrestling twitter. Someone should bring her in and being a black female to fucking open. The lgbtq women like that is a wealth of knowledge. I think she'll bring locker. Yeah the great. My awa would would benefit greatly but honestly might be impact. I what a fun. But i think a promotion would benefit greatly from bringing her and not just her that we have billy dixon. Mike talk to billy like bullying has great ideas. Billy super young Just diversifying these rooms and understanding like yo. there are different stories. we have to tell different stories. There are different. The main event caliber people in the world. The fucking children. Watch rupaul drag race. Every week. they watched Whatever the drag show was With an pose. Watch that show and watched the fucking finale initials watch incredible amounts of one amy's and all they shed like billy from match show on every fuck in red carpet like this is mainstream bay like this. This sells this sells low. Nas ex fucking sells the fact that none of this represented pro. Wrestling is ridiculous. This pop culture you missy out a money if pro wrestler about putting butts in the seats this shit cells is ridiculous so i think more those being near so two things we can. We can burn this thing out because this law show. warren. I agree with you. Say the only thing is a challenge. Because i made use this hip hop parallel again. Telling artists works in independent label. You can you can pretty much re release your whenever you want. When it's done it's done put it out and share with. The world is much different than making weekly television having a deadline. For your out right. So that always be the challenge with somebody like a fe jackson or billy dixon personally putting the spot because we know because he has time to think what happens when fayed doesn't have time to think crass as she would fail. But you have to put those people in those positions to figure out with the can do it or not. Some will fall flat on their face. Some we'll do an excellent job. We don't know the other thing on this diversity issue. I wanted. I wanted to say this. Because a w yes. they do. Have a diversity issue. But if you're going wwe w you're looking at this all wrong. You're going to be critical. A w impreza. Wwe or go the other way around and you're not praising with impact is done. You're doing this shit all wrong. All right like jonathan gresham who just lost a pure titled. Tonight's josh woods but he was. he's he's been a staple in ring of honor which lethal right. If you're not talking about what our wages done with black wrestlers but you're critical of a w and give him props. Wb you're doing this wrong. This is not an aide. Www either or thing. If you're gonna be critical give props to the ones that are actually doing it impact. Actually doing it. Nice it right you know. Impact has moose moose sits mostly at the top of the car. Losing rich swann. Battled for those titles at the top of the car. Don't sit there and talk about. Ww who thirty year head start in trick shit off until just recently kofi does now winning the title. That ain't it which you need to pay attention to say impacts doing you will revolvers. Who's doing well w has done things will will like. Aj gray right with chris. Bay is work. Those systems yanni to look beyond w. w. a. w. for your diversity fixed and then you can say they can. They should take notes a. w. should take notes from this. Wwe should take notes from impact. Tasha steals is an impact. Y'all did i impact women. Taxi champions were black women by guess going that like unapologetically. Black women fucking super dope. You look at our wage like tons of minorities in their women's tournament right now right to crown the women's champion like that. That was a great tournament tons of minorities going through there. You mentioned like chris bay exhibition champion. It will get the top moose just tons of people rich swann. You look at all these things like. Yeah there's there's tons of diversity in the company in our wages been fucking what latino mexican faction running the company for the past half before then it was Jay lethal before then. It was the briscoes. Which don't fucking tell me makes people don't count by the way like so the briscoe before them like there's there's tons of representation through the line to glide to launch Saint talent promotions. She told him. Be the next funky champion after this. They're feuding.

"We'd be like oh that's fighting but now you know we have these you know. Almost zero men get knocked out cold. Are we going to be able to say. I don't know we. It hasn't happened yet but it's going to happen eventually. And not against a guy who hasn't fought since two thousand eleven. He's retired he was. There's wasn't like oh. He's kind of in and out of combat sports still. He's he's cleanly yes. He was a comeback to fight a kevin mcbride. So there's a whole other thing going on there like the it didn't just happen. He wasn't talks earlier this summer to to have another sort of weird comeback fight but that was somehow different than this feels so disorganized and it's yo bro. Old people can fight. I'm like well. I bet a vendor can that's that's for sure but Yeah but i mean to the original question. it's like i. i don't wanna find out. Because i do think he is gonna cracked and I don't know. I don't know. I don't care how long you've been boxing for Or wasn't great shape. In at some point you are fifty nine year old man who has a lot of wear and tear on them. I don't know how many more bigshots you can take but That's why that's part of the intriguing. And i guess part of what. Why so must tuning in on saturday. I'll just couple more case. Go couple more comments questions. Ramsey's what day is the fight. It is saturday it will be. I believe it starts around seven. Pm it will be on fight. You can order to fight And i would recommend doing so through our website of guys find any article about a trailer fight club's slash legends to slash holyfield bell four and we have a lincoln all of these articles order through their through 'em may fighting a Any sort of discount anything. But it's just a as what the cool kids do or the fight to end fighting iran. Salvia you'll be it'll be on fights fight dot and i t. e. dot tv. This is going be their last last question. We're take on. What are we got from kyle. Is this event actually occurring or collective fever dream. We're all having a timely question cost. We'll see with the the release of the matrix resurrections trailer which just came out with it said yesterday. I believe once again. I think we do find ourselves questioning. What is real. Are we tissue. We you know. I think a lot of us have been taking the blue pill or at least thought we were it. Looks like we are taking the red pill tomorrow or mckinney. Am my mixing up my metaphor. Casey is this is this is this is this. We're still on the blue pill because we're seeing this event happen. Think yeah please. Guys up matrix nerds. Please correct me in the in the. I've seen all the movies but it's been a while. yeah it does. Guess the i. I said so many times. This is not going to get cleared. again. They're just going to bump up silva and ortiz or they're gonna move the events to another dates like how can you. How could it a guy who's been retired for ten years get cleared to compete and underestimate the power of what they call commission shopping. Apologize actually. don't apologize..

"Love you through a musical act there again. I i know. I'm in the minority in this. I can that may fans rebelling actively rebelling as they listen to this but does anything do mix it up just to break up the monotony of his show. I think it's cool. So like i said i don't know how long trail is gonna last but i think there are people who are going to steal a lot of troas ideas in the future and just thinking about seriously if like if there's a big knockout you know either. The main or co main you know is going to be. The big viral hit is trump's call knockout and him going into a trump repression but no but ijaz imaginative tito gets knocked out cold or is knocked out cold or you know whatever and then trump you know doing his. You know joe rogan. You know all that stuff so it's great promotion by trailer and i saw like teams e. They won't bracha. Mom do it to the next time you know. Whatever but good luck. We're talking about it. We're talking about him. we're talking about it. We're talking about the show. And we're not the other ones i guarantee. There's a lot more people who became aware that car was even happening. Be of trump's involvement. So if this chiller a few extra buys i mean i hope it was worth it because it it very well could very good. It's not a terrible. It's not a terrible strategy at all. I the parents we got a couple of the. I don't know if we're getting mike back. So i thought you went to fair Real quick we talked this material missing. Way yeah I don't i never if you watch tito's very first press conference Slow virtual press conferences. Too late about you know. He talks with thirty minutes about ten minutes of that was about how he lost. Respect for anderson for making him cut way and basically he was laying out the excuses of him. Not making wait so this was not a surprise at all. In fact he got. The two hundred honestly was was a surprise to me To me was. This was a strategy by anderson silva to make tito basically train on cutting away and not train boxing. And this is boxing monsters. Don't actually see as much as may. Is they definitely. Don't as much way as wrestlers zoo because there are so much head trauma and you need that fluid in your brain to cushion it because it's gonna be bouncing around a lot so I hope tito actually was in florida. So which would be good. But i hope tedo passes his Post-weigh-in medicals and all that because i don't know if they're hydration tests and things like that but that is that is that to me. That's the safety concern rather than holyfield because wholesale is fighting at his. No walking white. Tito is dehydrated..

"You know just like what you want to get out there and have fun do it. You know you know the risk you know. Prepare yourself and go out there. That's all. I see someone asks did. It did mike. Was he blocking the handicap access. Yeah maybe that's why he got kicked out. We'll try and get them back as we head off my some questions i don't are we doing. A pre fight are we gonna do appreciate think we are actually okay but there will be a show can bring some comments so they're probably get a few cousins and now guys are probably won't be right so we'll answer some questions here because he i don't know mike is right now. So what jack and guys member. He's on site in florida. Literally anything can happen. They're they're letting our i heard they're letting up under holyfield box. So that's that's the motto of florida. Anything happen. I don't know apprentices. We let a vendor holyfield box. That's going to add that they're going to add that to the website like all right. We have some very reasonable questions. Asked us a lot of questions. Very reasonable questions and concerns We saw a lot of that. We saw that. I was e- originally on the car. Like how did you find the musical acts. Like i was wondering about that. You know a shot up. Shut us too bad left. Hook dot com. Who had an update on that. What the music weeks go sniper. Yeah so Oh we need to talk about this. Needs to be talked about yes. I'm sorry that's once the circus won't people pay just to hear trump commentary haha. Thank you peter for the question. I don't know that's laughable. Because i do think there are look how many tune into the trump commentary will hold. Its full disclosure. I'm not a fan of donald trump from pretty anti-trump. I'm just going to be so take my opinion with that with that particular grain of salt But i do think that there are a lot of people who are fans of the you know. The previous president who. I don't know if it will make them want to necessarily there. Were on the fence. Live with people on the best. They might be compelled to check it out. And i saw questions earlier like will he mention the stolen election things like that. There's prop best by the way for all these kinds of stuff. Guys find those products on. We'll trump say this trump. Say that. I think he's gonna say all the stuff you're looking at prop bets. Par lay a bunch of stuff they can find a joe biden stolen. There's a there's a split dunkin. Oh my gosh she'll jump. Right in there. The recounts count the ballots..

"Here's my money. i'm gonna watch pay per view and had lots of veterans. I obviously made his return. Thinks think punks like forty something Chris jericho had a great match minorities. Yuki guys right forty five plus you know and the way just the fans just can came around and just gave these guys just enormous pop and just had this incredibly awesome energy. I just it was just very refreshing. And then the judge position from that straight into this week where it was like these guys are all day. Suck. why are we watching these old people fight and it was just edges felt like it was very negative vibe and especially if the move the florida and banner holyfield coming on you. Know kind of suggesting He's no he look. He came as a complete senate without taking two hours to say it. We lost mike. So i was just more about. Yeah got back. I was just. I just think it's very interesting. How may fans this is media too. Because i think i said the same thing you know pretty much like a train wreck you know but last week the rest of the same guys who are way past their prime their athletic prime know. You know like we can see that chris. Jericho can't do the same stuff he used to do. But we're still excited to watch Minorities yuki isn't the same wrestler he used to be but we were so excited to watch it and i just wonder why we can't be that way for our no are real fighting you know get this is real finding so it's such a different world and i think wrestling is still way more dangerous than actual mma. Boxing wrestling is way more dangerous. So it's not about it's not about you know the safety for the athletes. No neither neither. In sports you know wrestling pro wrestling or just like wonder why we can't be excited for evanger. Holyfield for retour poise. Guys doing what they love. And just let it be like that and just you know what that just enjoy it and hopefully everyone comes out relatively safe. You know. I mean. I i definitely agree with you. Overall seven casey. I will say of course when it comes to the world of professional wrestling. There's a little more you're right..

"Break this down. Break this down scientifically you. Can't i do it. I mean this. All right i mean. Here's the deal. You have vitor belfort. Who is gonna come in there. And he's in a big spot. He's gonna make a lot of money in it's it's it's what is it what it is and then you gotta enter. Holyfield is going to do what he's doing. And that is what it is. It's boxer versus mma fighters so clearly when it comes to like oxen skill of and early field is going to be a thousand times better for just the way. It is however wise youth wise that goes towards e tour but again. We're looking at a lot of money's probably coming in from the enemy community on tour. That are not necessarily familiar with boxing. In how oxygen works and how fight week's work okay. I noticed that i mean. This is the first major boxing event that i've ever and it is very different much different than covering a ufc car covering a ballots. Regard is much different. So i'm learning as i go along with everybody else. At the same token i understand the concern. That a lot of people have for bandra holyfield at the same token. I believe there's concern from veto as well retour. I asked me toward the other day. Is the criticism. Fair is the concern. Fair and he was sort of follow up like you know. Are you go out and try to hurt this guy. I don't think he is. I think veto is very cognizant of who he's fighting. I think holyfield is going to go in there. And what i think is gonna end up happening even though it's sanctioned as a professional bout what we're going to see is eight rounds of a hard match. I don't think we're gonna see a full-on boxing match guys are going to go out there and try to knock each other's at heads off. I think you're gonna see that in the other fights throughout the night you'll event. I don't think you're necessarily going to see this one here. I think you're gonna see two guys who are going to go out there and they're going to give you some work but i don't think we're to see two guys giving it one hundred percent and trying to put the other way so i'm going to lean slightly with holyfield based on how i think this is going to go. I just i think it's gonna be hard sparring match. I don't think anyone's going to go out there. And try to knock the other out and i think if it's just a pure boxing sparring match. I think only win. So i think all failed squeaks out like a split decision. Maybe a little bit home-cooked in from the boxing judges. But i mean we're going to be seeing different failed gravy singing a different tune tomorrow night in regards to despite being this is not you know the major damaged vander holyfield that everybody thinks i'm big. I don't think it's gonna be as bad as people think it's gonna be. What's what's the official hack. What official pick. I just sat holyfield slowly field. Only going to squeak out decision that we're going to argue about more mike. What do you think we. We're getting glorified sparring match here. A lot of respect letters. No one really wants to each other. What is the the gloves to use. What you said the big labs using sixteen. What are they using. It gets fourteen fourteen fourteen so normally. This is a normal match. I think there'll be using twelve. I think So using four twelve eighth and not sure actually but so you think fourteens which is almost almost sixteen which is like sparring gloves. How much said of andrew come in at two thirty two twenty five twenty five to twenty five point four v tour at two six point two zero six months. While on scott's automatons gloves turon okay. That's what that's what the commission said. That's a big labs i was. I wasn't sure Okay bigger. I believe though right. Yeah yeah. I think normally they're five to eight ounces. I think I'm actually i thought would Vandor said during the press conference kind laid it out pretty well. I think it was a press conference. So maybe it was interview but we said if this was a fight. A- fight of course door kicked my butt. He knows how to fight. A hotel is a boxer. This boxing and and i think vander he's he's he's going to be the longer bigger guy and he knows how to box. He knows how to do this. And i think it will be a actual pretty boring but dominant decision. Victory for van oldfield. I think he will. He knows how to use his way. He knows we he's he has. He's a veteran. If he does get a little bit of trouble he knows how to tie up arms. He knows how to clench in boxing clinch. Not more tech niche a knows how to use that way and get toward tired and he is going to be a significantly heavier guy. This is this is a vendors. Wait in ways. Be tour is a essentially a one eighty five or who's just not cutting and he's fighting it to a five to six right now so so we got thirty. Something is going to be good thirty pounds good muscle i think evanger will have on the tour and i don't maybe a twenty five year. Old door could overcome that boxing gap. But i think this age before yeah. He's dangerous obviously but only if his hands he won't be used as kegs won't be No ground game. I think that's enough for evanger to I honestly when a lackluster decision using boxing. And it's going to annoy people because Boxing the way evanger. I think we'll win. The fai is not entertaining to watch but I think a banner will win. And then he's gonna make it easy guys i think. Presents compelling arguments for Holyfield there i. I think i'm gonna detour. I'll do it. I'll be that guy ali that guy. That's official guys when when you see predictions that saturday morning. Call me out. If i change it but i think i am going to lean towards detour. The fifteen years is just so much of a difference. I used. I used to think about like how much i used to. When when remember when mcgregor and may were those happening. I think about how old would mayweather have to be from gregor of a chance to be a boxing. And maybe if if floyd seventy five years old f singer yes so. We're kind of in that range here for me with this point where i'm like. How old would vendor holyfield have to be for me to give veto bill for a chance against him and i would like sixty sixty five. I know he's still bigger. I know he's still an awesome shape. That's just a lot and look sixty five on that. I mean did he looks fifty s. Gal you didn't tell me his age gone guys forty two years old same age as detour. I would go okay. I'll veto now. Looks like he's in his thirties..

Tall scale was right any right. Yeah all right sorry well. Something big is happening this weekend and it depends what you're going to tune in for. Donald trump will be providing the commentary for the evanger holyfield vitor belfort match at the hard rock hotel and casino in hollywood florida on saturday at tmz reports that sources close to the negotiations. Say he's making an obscene amount of money for his services social media company trailer which is promoting the fight is paying trump and trump. Junior millions for their live. Alternative commentary is vitor belfort today. May guy holyfield's obviously not veto war. Is he a heavyweight. You guys are now. I don't know if he's a heavyweight. Is this a boxing match. Yeah okay so holyfield but engage in. I don't think he would. Sometimes they do some sort of hybrid thing where it's like you can use feet but no grappling or some version of that but this is just straight boxing right. Yeah so towers privately. Eighteen years younger than the vendors probably like fifty six fifty seven and v. Eight fifty eight and Veto probably thirty six. Thirty eight or some of containment could be interesting. So do we hear this with the feed and in what veto is forty four years on But in in some of the reports i read they called it. He's doing play by play. I don't know how it's going to be a pay per view. It has to be. Yeah gary says yes. I don't like this because in the day there was like a pay per view like back in the day every eighteen months. There's a pay per view. I come home the other night. And i'm saying when i'm watching the pay per view and it's yeah it's got the tick-tock guy. He's fighting broomstick. What forty nine bucks. There's fucking pay per view every week now and everyone. My son wants in on all of it. The definitive pay per view event of my young lifetime entire lifetime hogan vs andre the giant body slam dunk body. Slanted pontiac silverdome. That would have been. My brother's mind was having to go to the twins house. Amy angie's so we could all pitch in. Everyone had to give ten dollars so we could watch the new kids on the block concert. Pay with a pay per view is right up there with having a package delivered to your home. Yeah i made it from zero to thirty four without having fucking box brought to my house. Nothing showed up now. Everything shows up every goddamn day. And there's a pay per view day goes by my buddy. Ray had got the black box from the cable guy. The cable guy. I slipped one hundred bucks and it gives you the black box and that's what we do. Just everyone pile over to raise house and watch whatever the fight was but no one couldn't dream of now being pain for speaking of that evil knievel had the first pay per view when he jumped snake river. He had pay per view. But you'd have to go to like mann's chinese theatre yeah. It was atrocious failure. But it was it was the beginning would do like closed circuit things. They call and i was a pay per view. But it's like you couldn't go to manila to watch ali fight but you could go to new jersey and they really beam it into the theater hanged by technology. Yeah to do that. Well i think this is a good angle. Because i don't really be as you know anything about boxing. I'd watch the shit out of that. I'd love to see trump. Do the play by play modified. I'd love to watch that. He's gonna make it about himself. He's ever had heavy bag. In my opinion. I don't think he really now now. Which makes it better than he did was in the audience for many many brisk huge madison square garden. I've probably seen you know. Holyfield and tyson and pray. You probably goes back to ali. Because he's new york. Yeah the big fights are always madison square garden. It's always the people wanting to be sitting or atlantic city. And he's been some of those ali fights when he was twenty three. Yeah he's the colored guy now the play by play guy. Let's talk nicholas cage. He's doing a western set to play the lead and movie called the old way. A man i ever western. He's been involved in. According to the hollywood reporter. True keesa said cage will play colton briggs. He's a former gunslinger. Who now runs a general store and lives quietly with his family. But when a gang of outlaws murders his wife and cold-blood briggs returns home to find his world burning. He unearths his sidearm and saddles up with an unlikely partner. His twelve year old daughter. Chris can you find movies. Was my man show called movies. Men do wanna see 'cause we did movies men don't wanna see but there was a western one in i think it starred charles bronson and you can I can that's enough to go off if it was a man show bit. This reminds me that because is like he was this and then he retired but then they ask why and now he's got a kick ass. This is unforgiven a little girl. Yep right or a true grit sure. Yeah that is a little girl. That's exactly why i said it. I know we all respect clinics would do not talking about clinton. He's ninety three now like is he getting too old. Do star in a movie. It has a movie coming out. I kinda what i'm saying. Here's movies make money. There do well critically for the most part and come in under budget. Politics clearly dies. I also everybody knows where to clint eastwood. Said he's does takes in your home to play golf because moves come in under budget and on schedule and therefore he'll make movies forever but you think about it. He is ninety two nine hundred ninety one ninety one. My dad is turning ninety. And it's like that's all. I mean he's he's not getting off that chair with that. That's going to take ten minutes riding or since and hitting your mark and you know we don't even when you're young you don't want to think about go hang around with a ninety year old dane last sue and shit. There's certainly not in charge. No they're not looking view finder. Nuton what is it called the tv city. What you people. Tv village video valley alliteration confuse a circuit city. John tuesday the clinton prolific to probably averages a movie a year. Yeah all right so ever movies. Men want to see but there is one western theme one thing you can find it so it's the first how okay we can watch reminded me.

That doesn't mean anything so i- ugly right and if so That will make anything else. Better like if because vitor was was very very self aware and aware of the moment does not make anything better that this happened nor was allowed to happen in the first place and it doesn't fix the chiller other horrible inclusion of that don't want to spend time about but we can't say because how do you not talk about fact that a former. Us president is somehow going to commentate this thing and i thought you're going to talk about them trying to bring marvin gaye back to life to performance snoop dogg but yes i i love marvin gaye so i'm okay with it. It's not it's not. It's not good but Marvan as the man true story would ever. I'm having really really shitty round of golf. We throw a marvin gaye to try and pick me up back back out of this because marvin gaye is just. He's nikon is a is a peaceful jam. Dude literally everything. He has a peaceful jazz. But yeah i mean. I don't know if you're blasting sexual healing on the golf course but sexual healy actually is. That's that really. Gets me going i to be feeling strong out there. You know just Any it's only spotify playlist or whatever you just let it let rotate through and lead. Marvin marvin take your home in. So what do you think about this whole thing. we got we got donald trump. Who is who phoned in at the press conference we had donald trump junior who was at the press conference and i felt like between the two of those guys was thirty minutes. The free press conference was asking those questions i get. It's a big deal for those guys to get those guys. You can't just let them come in and you gotta ask questions and making part of the show so yeah so it's how houses name so it's trump trump junior todd grisham. That's today i was looking for. And that is the alternate commentary. And then we don't even know who's going to be commentating the other car because jim lampley has reportedly walked away mad props to jim lampley Because those like one of the first things that was said in some private conversations me a like once the trump thing was like. Wow jim lampley is really just crater in his reputation out. He could've done it. He could could've settled for tying his reputation. Oscar de la hoya and anderson silverstein ortiz. But this carnival of of failure and sand. He's like no man. I'm not a knock. And i'm better than this and good for him. He's he's acting like a responsible As florida man. I think it's an awful idea because it has no value That i the what bring donald trump in does not bring value to the broadcast in need sustainable way. It is a clear it's a cloud. Grab and that's fine. And maybe it gets a few more eyeballs. I really doubt that case 'cause like who are people really going to pay just to your donald trump not commented on a fight. They don't give a shit about 'cause he's it's not like it's not like former president. Donald trump is going to be. Give us a rousing play-by-play you it is not clever at all for me to tell you what's going to be said because i'm not making a joke but you listener at home can probably just quickly sketch out. Donald trump's commentary. And i bet you you're going to be like eighty percent right like the only. The only thing that i think would be a value is if somehow this professional fighter quote unquote. A bad decision is rendered. Then having trump commented that would be funny because he would immediately be like. That is the worst decision then Joe biden taking the in for me and that would be funny to watch that that meant deal with his pain in that way but other than that like there's nothing he brings nothing. He's not going to talk about the fights. One bad thing from trilogy. The last time was all the other people they brought in. Like mario lopez who doesn't know fighting was was trying his best to make things interesting was awful. Like just have jim lampley do it. But now you can't even get that so it's going to be awful and again i'm not gonna give him money and i just not either instead tune into intimate finding dot com. You can get all of the coverage that you need and anything relevant. You can read about it there. What is your dog. i mean. Me and oscar willis. We're talking about this today because he we're talking about it and looking at the landscape and what's going on this weekend yes it's got college football back we get the nfl coming back. It's tom brady's about literally about to go and defending title and just do the damn thing because he's just the greatest of all time but how many pay per view buys does this thing do over under two hundred thousand. Does it be two hundred thousand. I think it does to fifty. I think it's i think it's it's certainly under half a mil. I think it's under three probably. Is that successful though with this car if they do. Three hundred. thousand. Pay per view buys with fifty eight-year-old abandoned holyfield vs vitor belfort. Who is one. Oh or owen. Wanted a professional boxer and they three hundred thousand pay per view buys. Is this a win for them at no idea. That would almost entirely depend on financials realistically like three hundred fifty. I honestly to fifty might still be a little high. But i'm getting it the benefit of the doubt to fifties while you can expect a pretty bad. Ufc paper to pull just in general and this for all for all the failures of this card and there are many it does at least have really marquee names at the top of it. I also changed my mind mike. I'm actually totally pro. Donald trump commentary if only one major caveat. If there's someone can link me to a sports book that is taking an over under bets on. How many times. Trump mentioned the election and or joe biden. Then i'm in. Because i would absolutely watch at that. Microphone for however long taking the. I'm smashing the over. Whatever it is they could number cango to smashing the over amateur makes money on saturday. What would be more surprising. Trump not mentioned that mentioned the election at all or this car. Doing a million pay per view buys definitely trump not mentioning the election at all like. There's there's zero percent chance he doesn't at least make snide comment about it. There's some world we're putting. Donald trump on the pay per view just galvanizes his fan base into buying it. And if so then that's a calculated genius move by trailer and fair. Bladed them they did. I don't think it's gonna work out that way. But i could at least see..

I'm like dude this training whatever like then seeing the workout. And i'm like man and then interviewing him and i'm like man like it's it was just kinda rough to watch after interviewing detour and spending time with both of these guys. I don't know man. Something tells me that although the florida commission is allowing this fight to happen and that they are doing. They're calling it ten eight two minute rounds and it's full-on heavyweight rules. I feel we're gonna see an exhibition. Fight out there like the least the stylistic of of an exhibition fight like i just don't see especially after looking be tours is and speaking with him and seeing what he had to say at the media round table today. I don't think he's going to go out there and trying to kill this man. I don't think he's gonna go out there and try to hurt him. I really don't. I hope i'm right about this. I hope i'm right. I hope in these guys move around they have a you know a pretty much sparring match like. That's what i'm hoping to see about. A lot of people are like veto is going to go up there. He's two yards tours. Go out there and murder this man. I don't think we're gonna see that. I'm not happy about the fight. But maybe just maybe. It's just the positivity me the silver lining in me. That's like listen. This is going to happen. Let's try to put a positive spin on this as much as possible. So i really feel like we're gonna see just two guys moving around and throwing some punches and that the real main event will be the civil ortiz fight.

That is the worst decision then Joe biden taking the elax in for me and that would be funny to watch that that meant deal with his pain in that way but other than that like there's nothing he brings nothing. He's not going to talk about the fights. One bad thing from the last time was all the other people they brought in. Like mario lopez who doesn't know fighting was was trying his best to make things interesting awful. Like just have jim lampley but now you can't even get that so it's going to be awful and again i'm not gonna give him money and i just not either instead tune into intimate finding dot com.

When was the last time Any reporter or news person. Asking about fighter pay they. Don't it's not like it happens every press conference like so aren't you paying fighters more it's like and you just said we're talking about it and we're reporting the stories of fighter saying hey man i'm broke and that's news and i'm sorry he doesn't like news we're not a frigging pr company Though i am a pr company for fight circuit shouts to them there. You go Patriots patriot on the pitcher on. Now baby i am a a I think it's called big boss. I'm i just found out about this via their youtube channel. And of course had to go show them love because right now i want to show fight circus all the love. 'cause in the not too distant future they're gonna really the hell out of themselves and then i'm not going to be able to like them anymore. Yes that is what we call them. The business the segue because we could talk dana and fighter. Pay all we want and maybe in. Maybe the fight circus folks can make this. Donald trump versus joe biden fight. Happened before trailer because apparently that's going to be a thing. According to the press conference resigned today so Let us move onto trailer because it has been a crazy several days for this company and for combat sports because on friday we were all preparing for an event in los angeles eight days later which would be headlined by former ufc. light-heavyweight champion. vitor belfort taking on the returning oscar de la hoya and. Yeah we of like shrug shows a little bit but then we we sort of understood the fight and we were like okay like shore and then we found out anderson silva was gonna box ortiz and and that things got a little more interesting there. Now we find it. Oscar de la. Hoya on friday came out with cove in nineteen. He was very sick. He was out of the fight. So vitor belfort is without opponent and then we find out that a vendor holyfield the fifty eight year old former cruiserweight and heavyweight champion of the world is a possibility to take this fight if california will clear him if not they are going to shift this entire events to south florida. Which is where. I'm doing this broadcast right now. And that's that is what happened. Vander holyfield vs vitor bell. Ford is going to main event. Shriller fight club legends to this saturday. And i don't know man. It's been an interesting fight week. That's for sure of andrew holyfield answering questions. I interviewed him yesterday. I mean i'll be honest. I was a little concerned speaking to the man and then he did. His workout made did not alleviate any concerns at all so a lot to digest their jet. It's been a busy few days for trailer combat sports and abandoned holyfield and vitor belfort when you found out. This is the thing when you find. This is moving to florida when you find that. This is a full on professional boxing. Bout sanctioned by the florida athletic commission. And that we're gonna see this in a little over. Forty eight hours is a record this right now or your thoughts on it I my thoughts. Were many a lot of as you can imagine they really boil down to I'm not going to see this anymore. So we had talked about this. This has been an ongoing segment for us for basically this whole year. I was super nintendo trailer. Then i slowly got around to it. And then i went to the trailer been asking jake paul thing and it was awesome best experiences of my professional career. It's so much fun. So i was fully on board and right after that event happened. I went to our editor. Brian tucker and i was like. Hey brian the next time trailer does a thing. You gotta send me like i. I want to go to the next one of the was also on a do. It ended up not happening. Hey buddy congratulations on vietnam. Boorda hanging. i feel like. I dodged all the bullets. Some have how. Because i didn't i didn't care much about the main of in any way i would have watched it with some kind of perverse sense of interest but as soon as the colleen it was announced we talked on this very program. I was stoked. I'm still enthused about the idea of watching. the greatest. Most accurate stryker. An intimate history. Carom shots that big old cranium of tito ortiz. That's just a good time in anybody's book. So that's gonna be great with the main event. Whip from a thing that i had a passing interest in two things that i actively do not want to happen. It shouldn't happen evander. Holyfield's workout was awful Veto wasn't like great but it looked substantially better than holyfield. It really begs a it would beg the question. How holyfield is being sanctioned for this if it weren't for the answers just this is florida And like texas or whatever there rules. They're just do whatever you want. But you shouldn't and it really creates a risk. Like i am not saying this lightly or to or to be macabre. Anything like that There are legitimate health concerns about what is going to take place on saturday night Like and i will not be giving any money to support that. Because in boxing these really weird sports where legitimately every fan base goes into it wanting to see somebody almost die. You want to see somebody getting knocked the f. out in horrible ways but you want them to ultimately get up of their own volition and move on and probably that is what's going to happen on on saturday and hopefully that is what's going to happen because there is much much worse world where the thing that you don't want to happen happens on saturday and you can't unseat once you see it and you can't take back the money you've given to that and i'm so i'm not like as much as i wanna walk j. anderson silva piece up to your ortiz. I'm just not. I can't an of i can't in good conscience. Contribute money to almost sixty year. Old vander holyfield boxing. After after what he looked like in his open workouts. The only thing i can really say is i. I wish him the best. I hope that things do not go as badly as could happen here. but it nobody involved in this should allow it to happen Veto should not take this fight like at all. He just shouldn't do it. But everybody's going to let it go and chiller. It took less into one and a half events for chiller to jump the shark in a bad way which is awful like that is truly terrible. I agree like i agree with pretty much. Everything you just said. The fact that i'm here is just effort now. Let's let's go. 'cause i mean at the same time i wasn't really sure what to expect. Holyfield had been put in a couple either talks about him doing the fight with tyson again which was cool then. He was booked. If i since the time until you watch holyfield admits yeah. Then he's gonna fight. Kevin mcbride in june on the undercard of the the lopez fight or all right. So the i mean. The guy was training so in my mind. I'm like dude this training whatever like then seeing the workout. And i'm like man and then interviewing him and i'm like man like it's it was just kinda rough to watch after interviewing detour and spending time with both of these guys. I don't know man. Something tells me that although the florida commission is allowing this fight to happen and that they are doing. They're calling it ten eight two minute rounds and it's full-on heavyweight rules. I feel we're gonna see an exhibition. Fight out there like the least the stylistic of of an exhibition fight like i just don't see especially after looking be tours is and speaking with him and seeing what he had to say at the media round table today. I don't think he's going to go out there and trying to kill this man. I don't think he's gonna go out there and try to hurt him. I really don't. I hope i'm right about this. I hope i'm right. I hope in these guys move around they have a you know a pretty much sparring match like. That's what i'm hoping to see about. A lot of people are like veto is going to go up there. He's to your tv tours. Go out there and murder this man. I don't think we're gonna see that. I'm not happy about the fight. But maybe just maybe. It's just the positivity me the silver lining in me. That's like listen. This is going to happen. Let's try to put a positive spin on this as much as possible. So i really feel like we're gonna see just two guys moving around and throwing some punches and that the real main event will be the civil ortiz fight..

He seems to be out but At the time. I just wonder how this had gone down with Get so much money. He may not care about the ten thousand dollar. Bonus or whatever's out there but it would have been interesting to see what his comments are. And i can't wait for the perfect reporter go. Hey tito you know in in regards to your upcoming boxing matches or university in. So let's just go back. What are your thoughts on. I'd love to see what he has to say about that. That's that's low hanging fruit for any reporters that are out there atop to tito ortiz. Bring out one. Let's see how that one goes down Dana white goes gave the first contract to a fighter that lost in dana white contender series named carlos candelaria. And it's not that i disagree with it. It's just what's what are you waiting for. Thirty definitely could have done this before young. He said was. This was the right thing to do. That was the only criteria though the few fights where i thought it was the right thing to do. You know i the fi- about at least three to five times. That was either in person or on tv Manhole both guys gotta they. They both laid it on the line. Would you think exactly the same thing i mean. Obviously i can't can give you an injury now. But i guarantee if we go through the history of the show probably one per season at least not to you could probably appointed to to the losing fighters say i probably deserved as well So his explanations kind of a little odd especially i. Have you ever noticed. Like episode one. They always seem to give out a lot of contracts. I don't know if that's like the kind of set a tone or something. I don't know but i really wasn't that impressed by this week. The flying knee incredible. How do you not give that guy a contract. I get that. But after that. I mean everything was just okay. They lost the fight. It was fun to see laura. Thank o- on their see her contribution. It seemed like she had been doing this all along. So i liked that aspect but It probably didn't go the way other premiers have for them. Let's pivot laura sango. 'cause i was pretty historic in the history of czuczka. Uc's ufa she's the first female to be part of the broadcast team whether you want to call an analyst or color commentator. She was their normal Dana white contender series. She does a lot of By spiders hey you know you're you're going to be fighting here tonight. Tells you. She does that she also does. The burst buffer role like an entering announcer chelsea winner and the loser is And then she'll do the post fight interviews not necessarily inside octagon but in the back and then she'll even do the post fight show kind of like a little mini show were dana white in her announce to the world. Who's getting a contract so she definitely a lot of hats. If you've ever been there in person you see running around everywhere and then joking the of course. We've always solar watch those steps. 'cause she wears the tightest skirts and the steps are are steep and we're always like oh i hope she doesn't fall but man she handles it all does great and now they added this role for her I thought she did very well. I didn't watch enough of it to go spotless. I loved everything. I don't know i'm not a tv guy in that sense. But when i was listening. When i was watching thought she was doing good but i think even she would agree. She'll probably have to tighten things up your here or there but it was definitely a solid debut. Yeah i mean that. That's kind of a tough pill right. I mean she found out we spoke to today grew. She found out at five. Pm the day before. And i know people say well. Don't you kind of prepare for these interviews. Anyway that you're gonna do. Yeah but it's different when you have to analyze a fighter and and have to possibly teak what they're doing out there there's more homework that's involved in that sort of thing so forgetting it on less than twenty four hours notice and having to do your job. I thought she did pretty good. Yeah we Before before the started we were talking a little bit today. And the one thing that i i really committed even on our show george when we have back to back guests when we don't have that little break in between guests it's a little difficult to to take one off put put another one on back quickly and just get into even two minute rest but just to be able to relax change your hat and get into gear for retirement steep coach announced to talk to gone to just make that pivot You need a little bit of time. And she was really getting that she was just flying to do the next thing and she's gotta be one way and then do the next thing and be another way. That i thought was very difficult and she agreed. She said that was kind of hard to switch gears like that but it seems like next week. It's going to be the same thing. And so have one one show under her belt. And i think she's going to knock it out of the park man and it was pretty cool to hear that dana white is already saying that she's gonna do you know regular fight night cards and stuff like that so he said everything you guys do. She's gonna do so. We'll see a.

The focus pads lately says Tyson looks like the scariest fifty two year old on the planet What's roy jones is plan with tyson. Roy jones lulu lot. Roy jones lot roy jones was one of the most gifted athlete of all time and was completely dominant in his in his prime. But he's not a bona fide heavyweight tyson tyson. Pretty much is how does that first off. What's the weight that what are they doing. A catchweight where. Where's that thing gonna land. Well mike tyson. I spoke to him yesterday. Called me on my birthday. Which was very nice and A mike is lost one hundred pounds. He told me yesterday. One hundred pounds. Wow he's in fantastic shape and he says he really feels good about where he is and himself and you know his weight and his mental outlook is is just fantastic. I've been overseeing the gym. I'm going to work on that. Fight showtime nice enough to let me go work on that broadcast and so. I think it's really interesting. He's fifty four years old. He hasn't Fifteen years okay. Said since mcbride and he was done he was done after that fight and he just said it to me in the ring that night he said. I just don't have this in me anymore. Don't have that instinct to go out and be ferocious. Wanna do this anymore. So i think now the passage of time and getting in shape and you know seeing what's what's gone on with athletes who have extended their careers. Obviously and other sports are not getting hit like he is but to see just how well lebron james plays at an age Getting older see. Tom brady to see drew. Brees to see these guys now. You know lengthening their careers. You know it's an exhibition. So we'll find out but tyson did tell me in an interview that he would be willing to fight. If you know see how this goes he would be willing to fight evanger holyfield on third and if he does well he would consider one of the champions right now possibly a joshua or fury down the road and you know everybody can point to george foreman right. The our was wasn't fifty four years old But let let's see how he looks. I i know. I know that a lot of boxers of told me that what they see in the gym. Just the speed that they would not want to be hit by that.
