00:03:36
Matt LaRose
Wu-Tang wasn't there, but everybody else was. It was really awesome. And then when Rage Against the Machines started playing, it just kind of basically turned into a riot, which was cool.
00:03:47
Fuck Off

Fuck Off
Speaking of that, isn't there a concert this weekend or something?

00:04:36
Fuck Off

00:04:38
Matt LaRose
Remember we talked about this not too long ago, but Limp Bizkit is having a resurgence.
00:04:42
Fuck Off
I watched like um Wes Borland.
00:04:49
Fuck Off
Play like He did like six or seven different intros at one of his live shows of all, you know famous eight nineties riffs
00:04:51
Matt LaRose
I'm interested your thoughts on West Borland.
00:05:01
Matt LaRose
Oh, that's cool.
00:05:04
Matt LaRose
How do you feel about Wes?
00:05:08
Fuck Off
Sorry, just wetting my whistle In what manner?
00:05:17
Matt LaRose
Well, he's a pretty eccentric guy.
00:05:20
Fuck Off
Yeah, he's definitely eccentric for sure.
00:05:21
Matt LaRose
He's very artistic.
00:05:24
Fuck Off
Yeah, he's artistic and eccentric.
00:05:25
Matt LaRose
He's very, very creative ah artistically and musically.
00:05:27
Fuck Off
He's creative, artistic and eccentric. Yeah.
00:05:31
Matt LaRose
And he's just an all around kind of a fucking weird dude. And he reminds me a lot of someone that I know, but also that someone that I know is a hater of people who have maybe a little bit more fame than him.
00:05:44
Matt LaRose
So I'm just interested to see if you think Wes is cool or if you think fuck Wes.
00:05:48
Fuck Off
Who's that?
00:05:49
Matt LaRose
That's the guy I know. Very eccentric. Very creative, artistic.
00:05:57
Fuck Off
I like all those things about Wes Borland.
00:05:59
Matt LaRose
hmm.
00:06:01
Fuck Off
I have two issues with Wes Borland.
00:06:03
Matt LaRose
Number one, he's in Limp Bizkit.
00:06:06
Fuck Off
have three issues with Wes Borland.
00:06:08
Matt LaRose
I'm surprised that that wasn't one of your issues. I thought for sure.
00:06:11
Fuck Off
Yeah, no, but you're right. He's in Limp Bizkit, number one. Number two, easy haters. I don't think he's that fucking great of a musician.
00:06:23
Matt LaRose
oh boy.
00:06:24
Fuck Off
And then number three... I love his creativity. um I'm glad that he elevated it to different things because initially I thought it was a ripoff of the other dude who started doing it from what was it?
00:06:41
Fuck Off
Slippin' On or something?
00:06:43
Matt LaRose
I don't know who you...
00:06:45
Fuck Off
It was some guitarist who was wearing like, you know, no, not Buckethead.
00:06:48
Matt LaRose
Oh, i ah you think of Buckethead?
00:06:51
Fuck Off
It was after Buckethead.
00:06:51
Matt LaRose
Oh. Well, Slipknot, everybody has a different mask onstage persona.
00:06:56
Fuck Off
Yeah, okay, so that is who I was thinking of. And they were out before Limp Bizkit, were they not?
00:07:00
Matt LaRose
No, Limp Bizkit was kind of... They were about the same time, but Limp Bizkit, I think, was before a Slipknot for sure.
00:07:08
Fuck Off
Yeah,
00:07:08
Matt LaRose
and And Limp Bizkit was way more... ah I mean, Limp Bizkit was fucking huge.
00:07:15
Fuck Off
yeah I don't care about all that, though.
00:07:15
Matt LaRose
And they were way more popular.
00:07:16
Fuck Off
I was just talking about who originated that getup.
00:07:18
Matt LaRose
Oh, yeah. I would have say ah I could do some quick research for you, but I think Limp Bizkit was before.
00:07:26
Fuck Off
So if that's the case, then I still just have two issues with Wes. And one is that he's in Limp Bizkit. And the second, he's not the greatest guitarist in the world.
00:07:35
Matt LaRose
yeah I don't think he ever tried to be the or said he was the greatest, but.
00:07:38
Fuck Off
I never said he, I don't know if he did or didn't. I'm just saying he's fucking terrible.
00:07:43
Matt LaRose
Fair enough.
00:07:45
Fuck Off
However, I'm all for his gimmick. I'm all for his artistic expressionism. I didn't know he was an artist, actually.
00:07:53
Matt LaRose
Yeah, he does. Well, he wears really weird shit on stage now and he does all of his own ah designs and stuff.
00:07:59
Fuck Off
Yeah, well, I knew that.
00:08:01
Matt LaRose
And yeah, he's all it does all kinds of shit. And, you know, he's got a big curly mustache and he's a real douchebag like you.
00:08:06
Fuck Off
Yeah. Yeah.
00:08:09
Matt LaRose
Slipknot was active from 1995. Limp Bizkit active from 1994.
00:08:17
Matt LaRose
But I feel like, so, you know, the Aqualad himself, a big Limp Bizkit fan, especially back in the day.
00:08:24
Fuck Off
No surprise there.
00:08:27
Matt LaRose
We used to have a 88 Buick LeSabre. That was his first car, which was my first car, which we got off some old people. And he had a,
00:08:35
Fuck Off
Let me correct you, please. It's a Laissez-Bret.
00:08:38
Matt LaRose
Lesabre and he had a big Limp Bizkit sticker in the in the center of the rear windshield.
00:08:44
Fuck Off
That makes a lot of sense.
00:08:45
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Well, you know, I got to say Limp Bizkit has some bangers. It's easy to hate on them, but they got some bangers.
00:08:52
Fuck Off
No question.
00:08:54
Matt LaRose
My favorite is My Generation.
00:08:58
Fuck Off
Hmm.
00:08:58
Matt LaRose
John Otto, take them to the Matthews bridge because we don't, don't give a fuck. And we won't ever give a fuck about you until you, you give a fuck about me and my generation.
00:09:11
Fuck Off
Right. I don't mind rolling. That's not a bad tune. um
00:09:17
Matt LaRose
Did you do it all for the nookie? What?
00:09:19
Fuck Off
Hated that song.
00:09:20
Matt LaRose
Terrible.
00:09:23
Fuck Off
I mean,
00:09:24
Matt LaRose
They did a song with method, man.
00:09:27
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:09:27
Matt LaRose
And also DJ lethal. Their DJ is also the DJ for, uh, was the, uh, for house of pain. And then when they broke up, he moved on to Limp Bizkit.
00:09:38
Fuck Off
Right, right, yeah. In general, they're just not great.
00:09:44
Matt LaRose
I'll tell you what though.
00:09:44
Fuck Off
They're better now, in my opinion, than they've ever been.
00:09:47
Matt LaRose
I agree with that completely. And they can back then and even still get an entire mass of people going fucking insane.
00:09:56
Fuck Off
and that's why I liked it. If you ever just check out the clip on YouTube, you could literally just put Wes live intros, live concert or whatever.

00:10:28
Fuck Off
Oh, it was Nirvana. It was the West Borland Limp Bizkit Nirvana, but he does all these extended like intro. He does like Guns N' Roses. He does Metallica. He plays all these riffs.
00:10:44
Matt LaRose
because i think i've seen footage of him live like playing like metallica or something and they're like oh or maybe it was nerva i don't remember which one it is yeah but that's cool man and i agree with you i think that they are uh more popular now than ever before or better yeah
00:10:52
Fuck Off
They play them all. He plays them all.
00:11:02
Fuck Off
Well, said better. i don't know if they're more popular. But, speaking of popular, Oasis is going to be touring this year.

Matt LaRose
So they brought a Cybertruck and the two other Tesla cars there, and they let Trump check them out and decide which one he was going to buy.

Fuck Off
And then, you know, there is this other party, but you're going to have the left doing what they're already doing, which is eating the left. And they don't want to, they're going to try to cancel Elon, which is what's been happening.

Film and UFC Discussions

00:26:14
Matt LaRose
We are heading to 1954 for an absolute classic, a three and a half hour film by the master Akira Kurosawa.
00:26:24
Matt LaRose
None other than seven samurai ever heard of it.
00:26:27
Fuck Off
Hmm. Hmm.
00:26:30
Matt LaRose
Have you ever heard of it?
00:26:31
Fuck Off
Yeah, yeah. Fuck, dude.
00:26:32
Matt LaRose
No shit.
00:26:32
Fuck Off
It's one of the classics.
00:26:32
Matt LaRose
Okay. Well, set in Japan during the 16th century, Seven Samurai is a story about a farming village that has been victim to attacks from bandits.
00:26:43
Matt LaRose
Knowing that they will soon be attacked again after the barley harvest, they hire a group of seven samurai to help prepare and protect them from the oncoming assault.
00:26:55
Matt LaRose
This movie is the base inspiration for countless films since its release.
00:27:00
Fuck Off
Mm-hmm.
00:27:01
Matt LaRose
It has been remade, copied, had ideas stolen from it probably more than any other film. It is a classic in every sense of the word. For as long as it is, it goes by fairly quickly, although I did have to pause it once to take a wicked shit, but I digress.
00:27:19
Matt LaRose
It blends so many genres. It's funny, there's action, it's thrilling, philosophical, and emotional. It's a true epic. It's available on Macs to stream for free.
00:27:30
Matt LaRose
I own the 4k restoration on disc and watched it that way. All in all, it's a great movie and well worth your time.
00:27:38
Fuck Off
Wow. Is that it?
00:27:41
Matt LaRose
That's a lot to unpack right there, pal. I hope you're, are you doing all right?
00:27:43
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:27:46
Fuck Off
Yeah. So first of all,
00:27:49
Fuck Off
um I totally respect his review. It's a great review. I can't argue with it. Especially, he hits on those little pieces of Japanese samurai cinema with the comedy and the subtleties, both physical and, you know, wit remarks, which is funny. Doesn't always translate through, but you get the gist of it.
00:28:16
Fuck Off
The fight scenes are fucking dope.
00:28:19
Matt LaRose
It sounds like an awesome movie. This may come as a surprise, but I've never seen it.
00:28:23
Fuck Off
Oh yeah, it's shocking. But he's right. you look Every single movie that's made is based off of this movie. It's a you know some outcast of samurai or assassins hired to come in and protect someone or someone who follows the and has to fight a whole family or whole army off. and Shit's just legit.
00:28:45
Matt LaRose
Oh yeah.
00:28:49
Fuck Off
Secondly...
00:28:51
Fuck Off
um I didn't think he was petty. That was you. And last, go fuck yourself.

00:35:02
Fuck Off
So, he's a tough guy.
00:35:02
Matt LaRose
Holloway fought at 55.
00:35:05
Fuck Off
i don't know that he's got anything like Ilya. um
00:35:11
Matt LaRose
He's just a dog, man.
00:35:12
Fuck Off
Yeah, I mean, he's a dog. But when you have someone who can do it, he got pieced up pretty good.
00:35:17
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Yeah.
00:35:18
Fuck Off
He started off well, but he gets and got pieced up.
00:35:23
Matt LaRose
Yeah. And thing is when you're floating in between 45 and 55, regardless of whichever one you're in, like those, that's like, those are the like best fighters in the world. I think like that weight class has the most, like they have the most skill, the most well-rounded and they can fucking kill each other, but they're like still kind of light enough where like cardio is not an issue. They can just go like motherfuckers.
00:35:49
Fuck Off
Yeah, they have good, most of them have great cardio.
00:35:51
Matt LaRose
Yeah. And they're like, like wrestle up and down, up and down, up and down.
00:35:55
Fuck Off
Yeah, typically boxing, it it's like the junior middleweight division, which was 152, somewhere in that range. But yeah, here is
00:36:07
Fuck Off
you're right. <unk> so They're they're fair and fantastic. I mean, you could make the argument for flyweight.
00:36:14
Matt LaRose
Yeah. I mean, yeah, but. If you think, but also the amount of like flyweight doesn't have as many like good fighters that are at the highest level, whereas 45 and 55, they're just stacked.
00:36:26
Fuck Off
Right.
00:36:29
Fuck Off
Yeah. A lot of good fighters.
00:36:32
Matt LaRose
you know Because then you have such a big jump to 170 that you have a lot of people coming down from 170. Then it's kind of like if you're a bigger 155 or yeah, but if you're you know a smaller 145 or and like that next weight class is so far away, the guys are just so much bigger.
00:36:48
Fuck Off
Yeah, I don't think he does anything different dropping down. I think he's a good fighter who will be in great fights, who will never... ah can't see him winning a belt from any of those top guys.
00:37:01
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Unless everybody gets hurt all at the same time.
00:37:04
Fuck Off
I mean, just after watching him perform with Gaethje, he can clearly perform with Gaethje.
00:37:08
Matt LaRose
Right.
00:37:08
Fuck Off
Now, Gaethje's after his prime some, too. Gaethje's just a dog. You always know what you're going to get.
00:37:15
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:37:15
Fuck Off
and And think guys that like Ilya, he'd piece him the fuck up probably faster and he'd slice him.
00:37:23
Matt LaRose
Yeah. And also be able to wrestle the show. Well, I mean, he'll, yeah, the thing is Gage is not going to wrestle him, but Ilya will try to, we'll wrestle him too.
00:37:31
Fuck Off
Yeah, exactly.
00:37:32
Matt LaRose
you know so And then what do you do with Justin Gaethje now? Because a lot of people are saying, give him a title shot, fuck it. Because Bakashev doesn't have anybody lined up. And Gaethje said, have won three out of my last four, and the only one that I lost was an exhibition, and he technically lost in the last second.
00:37:51
Matt LaRose
And so a lot of people are saying, give Gaethje his number.
00:37:54
Fuck Off
Who's 1-2 ahead of him?
00:37:57
Matt LaRose
I'll pull it up right now.
00:38:00
Fuck Off
Yeah, he should get a title shot.
00:38:01
Matt LaRose
I mean, it would be awesome. Fuck it. Give him Islam, dude. He's going to, he'll be a dog. You know, Islam will probably be able to fucking wrestle the shit out of him. But
00:38:10
Fuck Off
Well, Gaethje has wrestling. He just never uses it
00:38:13
Matt LaRose
yeah, that's true. You're right.
00:38:17
Matt LaRose
Let me see. is Islam. mahaevv Oops. I hit the wrong one here.
00:38:24
Matt LaRose
Armin Sarukian, Charles Dubronx, Olivera, Justin Gaethje.
00:38:28
Fuck Off
ah Yeah, fuck all those guys.
00:38:28
Matt LaRose
He's nothing. Yeah. Yeah.
00:38:30
Fuck Off
Give it to Gagey.
00:38:31
Matt LaRose
Sarukian's won and he just pulled out of his fucking fight with Islam at the last second.
00:38:37
Fuck Off
Yeah, give it to Gagey.
00:38:38
Matt LaRose
Olivera's already lost to him.
00:38:39
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:38:40
Matt LaRose
And then Gaethje's number three, number four, Dustin Poirier, who lost to him. Number five, Max Holloway. And number six, Dan hookler Hooker, michael Michael Chandler. So really, it really is crazy.
00:38:50
Fuck Off
That's a terrible fucking division.
00:38:53
Matt LaRose
It's all like really old dogs.
00:38:55
Fuck Off
Yeah, it's a terrible division.
00:38:58
Matt LaRose
Yeah, because then past that, you got Gamarat, Benil Darius, Hanado Moikano, and then Fazeev is 11, and then 12 is Patty Pimblid.
00:39:07
Fuck Off
Oh my God. Like Patty Pimblik could actually win the belt in this division.
00:39:10
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Yeah. i We just talked about how stacked lightweight was, and then it's like, eh. But they're all dead they're all nasty fighters. That's the thing. They all beat each other. They all beat each other off.
00:39:22
Fuck Off
Whoa.
00:39:25
Matt LaRose
But I mean...
00:39:25
Fuck Off
Hopefully that'll be in the sphere.
00:39:27
Matt LaRose
I mean, um other than Iliot's Aporia coming up to 145, like you might as well give him the Gaethje fight, you know? Strike while the iron's hot. Gaethje's going to give you a good fucking fight no matter what.
00:39:39
Fuck Off
And he's always going to bring people in.
00:39:41
Matt LaRose
And imagine if he fucking kablamms fucking Islam. Because Islam has good stand-up. Man, it's nasty Muay Thai. I can see him saying, fucking I'll stand up with this guy and then getting clipped.
00:39:51
Fuck Off
Yeah, but they do until they get hurt.
00:39:53
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:39:56
Fuck Off
I can't see. I could see Gaethje getting ground and pounded out pretty quick.
00:40:04
Matt LaRose
Yeah, absolutely.
00:40:07
Matt LaRose
But I can also see, well, you never know how good is his wrestling.
00:40:12
Fuck Off
I don't know. He hasn't used it in fucking 20 years.
00:40:14
Matt LaRose
It's true.
00:40:16
Fuck Off
I mean, he was a wrestler.
00:40:17
Matt LaRose
Yeah. D one.
00:40:24
Matt LaRose
I think, wasn't he?
00:40:25
Fuck Off
It's a bad fight to make, really, but it's the best fight for him and the fans.
00:40:30
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:40:31
Fuck Off
Like, stylistically, it's not a very good fight.
00:40:34
Matt LaRose
And the thing is, it it'll it's going to sell no matter what. People love Geici.
00:40:38
Fuck Off
Yeah. Yeah.
00:40:40
Matt LaRose
And Islam's starting to sell because people actually like them. so
00:40:44
Fuck Off
Well, this will hopefully give Islam some more fan credit, too, or star power.
00:40:50
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:40:50
Fuck Off
Because they everyone's going to show up. They figure they're going to, what they're assuming is, well, if Gaethje's Gaethje, he's going to make them earn it. that That's going to make people just realize how great this guy was to outlast it or take the beating and beat him.
00:41:05
Matt LaRose
yeah And they're going to sell the whole thing as, and you know, Gaethje's got that power. He can put anybody out. He can put, you know what I mean? Like they're going to sell his hype on the fact that he could blast Islam and knock them out.
00:41:22
Fuck Off
Yes, the only way he can beat him.
00:41:23
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Unless his wrestling is that good. You don't know because you never see it.
00:41:27
Fuck Off
No, it's definitely not.
00:41:31
Matt LaRose
In the main event of the evening, the new champ Magomed Ankalaev defeated my man Alex Pereira via decision.
00:41:42
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:41:43
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:41:44
Fuck Off
Did you watch the fight?
00:41:46
Matt LaRose
I watched the fight while I was half asleep and waking up. I fell asleep, woke up at the third, and then I was able to watch from like midway to the third through the finish. like I was ah definitely awake for that.
00:41:57
Fuck Off
I thought you potentially could have made the argument that I don't have any problem with the decision.
00:42:04
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:42:05
Fuck Off
You could have made an argument that Pereira won. Could have made an argument for a draw even.
00:42:11
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:42:12
Fuck Off
But all the other judges had a three zip. I didn't really, a five zip. I didn't have it at at that.
00:42:19
Matt LaRose
I figured.
00:42:19
Fuck Off
or Or three, I'm sorry, three to two.
00:42:21
Matt LaRose
ive Yeah, I figured Pereira won two rounds.
00:42:26
Fuck Off
I thought he won two, but they could have given him that other one.
00:42:31
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:42:32
Fuck Off
which But they didn't give him, they only gave him one round, I think, most of the judges.
00:42:36
Matt LaRose
Yeah, that's what it was. What are your thoughts on if you want to be the champ, you got to beat the champ Ric Flair style?
00:42:43
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:42:44
Matt LaRose
Because my boy DC and Uncle Chael say that's a bunch of bullshit.
00:42:49
Matt LaRose
They say that's, yeah, they say that's some shit that Ric Flair made up.
00:42:50
Fuck Off
it's a different sport.
00:42:55
Fuck Off
Yeah, it's true.
00:42:55
Matt LaRose
but people But people make that argument, and it's and they say that that doesn't count in this sport.
00:43:01
Fuck Off
But it it did count because even watching it, he just never got off all night.
00:43:08
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Seemed a little gun shy.
00:43:08
Fuck Off
Not one time.
00:43:10
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:43:10
Fuck Off
He held it all night. And... You know, he threw his kick stuff. He fell in love with that. To me, he looked sluggish and slow and tired, which means I think he's over-trained and and he's fighting too much and he's doing all those other things and he's a lot older and he I don't think he can keep up that same type of pace.
00:43:25
Matt LaRose
And been traveling like crazy.
00:43:32
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:43:38
Fuck Off
So I attribute that to the loss, which I attribute to him taking this guy lightly then and not
00:43:49
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:43:50
Fuck Off
putting what's most important to him.
00:43:52
Matt LaRose
And almost buying into his own hype too.
00:43:55
Fuck Off
Yeah, yeah not everyone's going to get knocked out by your power, but he could have if you threw it.
00:43:59
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:44:02
Fuck Off
We don't know.
00:44:03
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:44:04
Fuck Off
i think he would have I think he could have knocked him out. He just never threw punches.
00:44:08
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:44:08
Fuck Off
And then he was afraid to let himself be open and hang off. Just wasn't his best night. and And I think he's overtrained. i think he fights too much. I think he's got to cut it back to twice a year.
00:44:21
Matt LaRose
DC and jail were talking about because they were saying they were saying a lot of they were saying before the fight that he was not because he was in Connecticut.
00:44:33
Matt LaRose
Then he was in Vegas. Then he was in Mexico. Then he was in Brazil. Then he flew to fucking Australia for the last pay-per-view for Sean Strickland to corner him. Then he flew back and they were like, every time you take one of these flights, that's a day of travel that you're losing and you're changing time zones and you're like just completely fucking up your body schedule.
00:44:54
Matt LaRose
And Pereira was saying that like, when wherever he goes, his coaches come with him so he can train no matter what. And DC and Shell were saying that that's still not, you're still lacking the focus of training.
00:45:06
Matt LaRose
And when you're traveling and flying,
00:45:07
Fuck Off
Yeah, but more than that, like the the science has shown, it's all fucking science, Matty.
00:45:13
Matt LaRose
Science. Trust the science.
00:45:14
Fuck Off
rest Rest and refuel are as important and probably even more so than the actual exercise and sport activity itself.
00:45:25
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:45:25
Fuck Off
If they don't heal up properly, feed and nutrition themselves properly, get back to normal weights with normal measures properly, then you can never...
00:45:40
Fuck Off
It won't work.
00:45:41
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Well, I think he, I think he just learned that lesson.
00:45:45
Fuck Off
you know, it clearly, I mean, your sleep schedules are off. They're different, different time zones. You're up. You're doing things you normally don't do. You're not in any type of routine.
00:45:52
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:45:53
Fuck Off
So what? You can train if you feel like it. That shit. And he's fucking 37, 38 years old. So shit, you can't do that stuff like a young man.
00:46:01
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:46:04
Matt LaRose
I think you got to get some rest in. And then if you really want to do it, because they already said like that, pretty much the next fight is the rematch. So if you really want to fucking do it, man, you got to cut that, cut all the bullshit out of your life, lock it in Rocky for fly to Russia, train in the fucking snow, run with a log over your shoulders, get your shit together and go fuck and go fuck this guy up.
00:46:24
Fuck Off
And make the fight in December.
00:46:28
Matt LaRose
You got to, that's it.
00:46:29
Fuck Off
You don't want it to be too soon.
00:46:31
Matt LaRose
If you want to be the best, that's what you got to do.
00:46:36
Matt LaRose
I think it'll be good. I think that that'll motivate him to to do better.
00:46:43
Fuck Off
Well, maybe.
00:46:44
Matt LaRose
We'll see. There's fights this weekend.

00:50:59

And the most legendary fucking right afterwards where they put the microphone in Robbie Lawler's face and he goes, that was an accumulation of a beat down. It's fucking awesome, dude. Like the most legendary one liner ever.
00:52:04
Fuck Off
Started off in the ah and the Tri-Cities there in Iowa.
00:52:09
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Jen's pulver fucking Matt Hughes, Pat Miletic fucking.
00:52:11
Fuck Off
Pat Miletic was his camp, yeah.

00:52:21
Fuck Off
Yep.
00:52:24
Matt LaRose
Those guys were, yeah, started as a fucking 17-year-old kid with those dudes.
00:52:30
Fuck Off
Killer.
00:52:30
Matt LaRose
Imagine they must, I mean, they just, you know that they fucking just tortured that motherfucker and beat the brakes off of him, but it's what made him
00:52:37
Fuck Off
That's why it's so fucking tough.
00:52:39
Matt LaRose
Yeah, that's what made him fucking hard, dude. You're going to fucking go and train with those guys when you're a fucking teenager, dude. There's no there's no fucking way.
00:52:44
Fuck Off
Freezing.
00:52:48
Matt LaRose
So, Robbie Lawler, the fucking man. I can't wait i honestly i like watching those when they have the induction, Hall of Fame inductions. so I would have watched it anyways, but if fucking Robbie Lawler's there, dude, I'm i'm fucking in.
00:53:03
Matt LaRose
It sucks, dude. They show him on the screen and he's like trying to fucking not cry, but like the lips doing the quiver and he's like, damn, dude.
00:53:09
Fuck Off
I don't even know that he was trying not to. He was just he just was. He's fucking emotional, man.
00:53:13
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:53:16
Matt LaRose
He's the fucking man.
00:53:19
Matt LaRose
So.
00:53:19
Fuck Off
Just what a legend.
00:53:22
Matt LaRose
Other big news that I could not wait. I have been waiting to talk to you about this.
00:53:27
Fuck Off
Yeah, I hope it's what I think it is.
00:53:29
Matt LaRose
I even sent you videos to watch in preparation for this.
00:53:33
Fuck Off
Oh, I don't know what that is.
00:53:36
Matt LaRose
Dana White, with the help of fucking some Saudi Arabian blood money, is now going to become the biggest boxing promoter in the world.
00:53:42
Fuck Off
Oh, yeah.
00:53:46
Matt LaRose
That's just my prediction.

Combat Sports and Industry Trends

00:53:48
Matt LaRose
But I was wondering what you think about Dana White's getting into the boxing and into the boxing game. Something he said for a long time that he wanted to do, but said that this ah sport is corrupt and fucked up and now's the time to do it.
00:53:54
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:54:02
Fuck Off
Yeah, it's corrupt and fucked up, but they the primary actors get paid at the end of the day. And that's not what happens in the UFC. I do not think this will be successful.
00:54:14
Matt LaRose
Really?
00:54:14
Fuck Off
Yeah.
00:54:15
Matt LaRose
That's stunning to me.
00:54:18
Fuck Off
Yeah, this will be one of his very few failures. Because fucking slap fest isn't, I thought that for sure would be,
00:54:27
Matt LaRose
I know. I thought that shit.
00:54:27
Fuck Off
And that's fucking and he's a fucking smart motherfucker. They're putting that on YouTube now. He said like fucking genius, man.
00:54:33
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Yeah.
00:54:35
Fuck Off
Just watch it all the time. And Paige is saying she wants a belt. Like, yeah, give her a fucking belt, dude.
00:54:42
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
00:54:42
Fuck Off
She'll fucking make your brand.
00:54:44
Matt LaRose
think i think
00:54:46
Fuck Off
Insane. For the boxing, it's not going to work. Boxers make way too much money. That won't change. That won't ever change. They want $100 million dollar fights. They're not going to fight more than once a year. It's just
00:55:02
Fuck Off
It's not going to work. You're not going to get the right talent. And you get guys like Ryan Garcia who are are saying the same types of things. you know the The best thing they could get out of it or that they're delivering as an option would be just the medical stuff, which would be huge from what most of those guys have now. They don't.
00:55:18
Matt LaRose
Yeah, that's true.
00:55:20
Fuck Off
But they they'll be all under contract, I'm assuming, just like they have now. I mean, it doesn't work like that in boxing.
00:55:27
Matt LaRose
i think I think it's going to change the game.
00:55:27
Fuck Off
Me.
00:55:30
Matt LaRose
I think it's going to follow the UFC model and people are going to see the popularity and the exposure of UFC and how well UFC events are run.
00:55:31
Fuck Off
Hmm.
00:55:41
Matt LaRose
and it's gonna cause he Dana White said, I'm going to make cards that are just like UFC cards where every fight's a fucking banger. Uh, I'm going to bring you the best up and coming talent. It's not going to be one fight.
00:55:54
Matt LaRose
This is the reason why I don't, why i fucking can't stand watching boxing is because it's one fight and then a fucking hour and a half of bullshit. And then another fight and 45 minutes of bullshit. He said, I ain't doing that. I'm putting on a boxing card the same way that the UFC does a card, which is good fight. Good fight. Good fight. Good fight.
00:56:13
Matt LaRose
Banger, banger, main And I think that will change the game of boxing because it people will want to watch it and pay attention to it.
00:56:17
Fuck Off
Yeah, so
00:56:20
Fuck Off
but let me let me change my answer a little. It will,
00:56:28
Fuck Off
and just like he said in his interview, it will be, I used to always watch Tuesday night fights.
00:56:36
Matt LaRose
Right.
00:56:36
Fuck Off
I mean, constantly on USA Network. It was great where you'd see all these guys fighting, then you'd know who they were when they started vying for titles. so if he if he's And I think he said he wanted to do something like that.
00:56:48
Matt LaRose
Yeah, he said he wanted it to be like that.
00:56:48
Fuck Off
So if if he does a contender series like that, that will obviously be great. So he's going to create stars. So maybe he does that.
00:57:03
Fuck Off
But I still think at the highest levels, the Ryan Garcia's, the Canelo's, the tanks, the heavyweights, they make too much money. They don't need him.
00:57:16
Matt LaRose
Yeah, but now you got the you got the saudi that Saudi Arabian money behind it too, you know?
00:57:20
Fuck Off
You think Dana White's going to want to give fucking those guys $100 million dollars for a fight?
00:57:28
Matt LaRose
No, he doesn't have to. That's why he's got the fucking Saudis, dude.
00:57:32
Fuck Off
but Do you think he's going to let them give them $150 million?
00:57:35
Matt LaRose
what the if is If they agree to fucking fight under his banner, I mean, think about it.
00:57:35
Fuck Off
Yeah,
00:57:39
Matt LaRose
The UFC does the same has always done, but the same kind of back deal shit where... they say I'm going to give you a fucking contract for a fucking six and six.
00:57:50
Fuck Off
yeah it's good for up-and-coming boxers and kids just out of the Olympics or the amateurs. That's what it's going to be good for. That's what I'm saying.
00:57:58
Matt LaRose
But here's the thing.
00:57:58
Fuck Off
I don't know that it'll result into other things.
00:58:00
Matt LaRose
I think it will. I think you're going to see these guys like Canelo and all them get involved because they can make money on the back end from the fucking Saudis.
00:58:02
Fuck Off
Maybe.
00:58:09
Fuck Off
Maybe. We'll see. He's got to do it with the jujitsu first.
00:58:14
Matt LaRose
Yes, he's he's going all in on combat sports, which is fucking cool, man. It's giving an opportunity for athletes and shit, you know? And, you know, at the end of the day, it's just more shit that you can bet on, and who doesn't like to gamble?
00:58:26
Matt LaRose
Guy lives in fucking Las Vegas, you know?
00:58:29
Fuck Off
Yeah, he's got the bank account to do it.
00:58:29
Matt LaRose
no That's why, yeah, that's why slap fighting is so huge, because people love to gamble on it.
00:58:35
Fuck Off
So ridiculous.
00:58:36
Matt LaRose
I can't believe it, dude. i It, like... like i mean whatever dude watch whatever the fuck you want i don't care i you know but like number one i don't even like to watch the clips of it i don't like watching people get fucking hit the way that they do and it's like if we're talking about like yeah they're and yeah that's the thing is they're not slapping each other they're literally like and it's like like if we're worried about like people's like cte and brain and shit like that like slap fighting is just like
00:58:54
Fuck Off
They should just fight. That's not a slap.
00:59:11
Matt LaRose
I don't know. I don't want to.
00:59:11
Fuck Off
Especially that type of slap fighting where they're lining up the palm and blade of their hand to dislocate their lower mandible.
00:59:20
Matt LaRose
Dude. And then like, I see some shit where it's like, like if you get knocked out, they give you like, I don't know if it's like, I heard them say something about 30 seconds or two minutes.
00:59:33
Matt LaRose
And then if you can get back up after two minutes, they let you go back in. And then it's like, and then it's like, if you, if when it's the main title fight, if you slap me and I take it and then I slap you and I knock you out, then you get like two minutes.
00:59:41
Fuck Off
Well, it's not sanctioned, so they can do whatever the fuck they want.
00:59:56
Matt LaRose
That's when you get like two minutes. And then after the two minutes, if you think that you're good, you can come back and you can slap me back. But if, if you knock me out,
01:00:08
Matt LaRose
then I get to do it back to you and then it becomes like a draw or some shit. So it's like you're, you can take like several of these strikes to the head and like one, you know what I mean?
01:00:20
Matt LaRose
Like it's,
01:00:20
Fuck Off
It's just stupid. I don't get it. Not my thing. I don't mind watching the hot chicks obviously slap each other's faces.
01:00:28
Matt LaRose
I can't even, why I don't even like to watch that, man. I think I
01:00:30
Fuck Off
I like watching Paige Zandt. It's the only thing I've ever liked Paige Van Zandt doing.
01:00:35
Matt LaRose
even more than watching her fight.
01:00:38
Fuck Off
Yeah. oh this is just so much better. Getting slapped and taking it. She's such a little whore. I love it.
01:00:45
Matt LaRose
Doesn't she like trash talk them when they don't knock her out and stuff like that?
01:00:48
Fuck Off
She's the best. Like she's, she's turning into everything I had hoped for.
01:00:52
Matt LaRose

Full penetration. We are so close to everything coming around.
01:01:04
Matt LaRose
I can't believe it hasn't happened yet.
01:01:06
Fuck Off
It probably has. I don't know what we were getting our fucking information from Mort. Who's an idiot.
01:01:12
Matt LaRose
That's true. But either way, I mean, yeah, I don't like i don't want to watch her get slapped.
01:01:20
Fuck Off

01:01:21
Matt LaRose
I was going to say, you must love it.
01:01:22
Fuck Off
i'd like I'd like to watch myself slapping her.
01:01:27
Matt LaRose
You could do a slap fight with Paige Van Zandt.
01:01:31
Matt LaRose
I just can't believe, like...
01:01:32
Fuck Off
She'd hurt me.
01:01:33
Matt LaRose
Yeah, she definitely would. i these motherfuckers, there's no way I would fuck it. It's so, I mean, maybe it's crazy. I like to do fucking kickboxing, so whatever, but like, there's fucking no way I would just stand there with my hands behind my back and let somebody just fucking crush me as hard as they could. There's no fucking way.
01:01:52
Matt LaRose
I would get so fucking pissed. I would have to fight them afterwards.
01:01:57
Fuck Off
I'd like watching her take that.
01:02:01
Matt LaRose
Phrasing.
01:02:04
Fuck Off
I don't think so. No, it's exactly phrased correctly.
01:02:09
Matt LaRose
So anyways, nothing else happened. I don't have anything else to talk about. Nothing else happened in the world.

Fuck Off
I don't know if you know this. The Bruins finally listened to maybe our podcast and got rid of a lot of their team, just not everybody.
01:03:32
Matt LaRose
I hate
01:03:38
Matt LaRose
No. The Bruins got rid of the people that they shouldn't have gotten rid of and kept the people that they should have gotten rid of.
01:03:43
Fuck Off
and
01:03:46
Fuck Off
Well, yeah, but they started doing the right things.

Fuck Off
three other people and the whole front office.
01:03:58
Matt LaRose
I fucking hate the Bruins.
01:04:00
Fuck Off

01:04:04
Matt LaRose
I hate them. I don't... i
01:04:07
Fuck Off
What bothers you more having to say that I was right or you just watching their demise?
01:04:12
Matt LaRose
Here's the thing. It's really a, it's a, it's like a pincer.
01:04:14
Fuck Off
I even have to watch and I told you that's got to be irritating. Yep.
01:04:18
Matt LaRose
It's like a two pronged attack because they're both equally painful and they're both honestly, some of the worst pain I've ever felt in my life.
01:04:20
Fuck Off
Yeah.
01:04:22
Fuck Off
Yeah.
01:04:30
Fuck Off
it's ah I love it.
01:04:30
Matt LaRose
It's like the, it's like, I've been thinking about how I have to talk about this for a week. And I, and as I'm sitting here now, I still don't even have the words to describe it to you.
01:04:43
Fuck Off
I think it's fantastic.
01:04:45
Matt LaRose
It's fucking unbelievable, man.
01:04:46
Fuck Off
Here's why.
01:04:47
Matt LaRose
They fucking did this dude so dirty.
01:04:47
Fuck Off
Here's why I'm going to say it.
01:04:49
Matt LaRose
It's unbelievable.
01:04:51
Fuck Off
Everybody needs to go through this as a New England sports fan.
01:04:58
Fuck Off
Typically, everyone's got one sport in New England. They watch them all usually, but two at the very least.
01:05:08
Fuck Off
For the most part, everyone's got their favorite kind of sport and team. And throughout history now, every single one of them has been shitty.
01:05:23
Fuck Off
They've won a title.
01:05:25
Matt LaRose
Being shitty is one thing.
01:05:26
Fuck Off
yeah they've went And then there they managed to implode and get rid of locker room leaders, icons, and franchise faces when they're willing to do whatever it takes.
01:05:38
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Yeah.
01:05:39
Fuck Off
So that's been done in every single sport. The last one, and it wasn't even for the Bruins, and they could have done it correctly, was with Ray Bork. Ray wanted out.
01:05:50
Matt LaRose
yeah
01:05:50
Fuck Off
And they gave him his big due and he went to go get a Stanley Cup because the fucking Bruins suck so badly.
01:05:56
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
01:05:56
Fuck Off
This is back in the day. But this guy wanted to stay.
01:06:01
Matt LaRose
Yeah. They also, this is, this reminds me of Joe Thornton when they did Joe Thornton dirty and they were like, you're our captain, you're our leader. And then a year later they were like, we got this dude Patrice Bergeron.
01:06:11
Matt LaRose
You're fucking out of here, buddy.
01:06:13
Fuck Off
Yeah. Well, it worked out.
01:06:15
Matt LaRose
The problem is we don't have a Patrice Bergeron on the, on the back end of this.
01:06:18
Fuck Off
and Or Joe Thornton.
01:06:19
Matt LaRose
We have some draft picks for the 2026 and 2028 draft, which is, by the way, next year and then three years from now.
01:06:28
Fuck Off
They suck. That front office...
01:06:29
Matt LaRose
They fucking suck, dude. This guy was the last guy from your 2011 fucking Stanley Cup champion. You just made him the captain of the fucking team.
01:06:40
Matt LaRose
The guy spent his entire career started in Boston, stayed in Boston, didn't want to leave. And then you're like, ah, sorry. The only good thing about it. Here's the thing.
01:06:56
Matt LaRose
In the most stunning turn of events that I never expected in my fucking life over the last
01:07:04
Matt LaRose
two months, I've become ah Florida Panthers fan. because I love the to Chuck brothers. And especially after the four nations, they're like my favorite hog.
01:07:15
Matt LaRose
I always liked these guys, especially when he played in fucking Calgary, Matthew, but, and and then he went to Florida and I was like, well, fuck that guy. But like, he's fucking awesome.
01:07:24
Fuck Off
I like Florida because I've said this, and we can go back on the podcast three years, I bet.
01:07:30
Matt LaRose
Yeah. Yeah.
01:07:31
Fuck Off
Florida plays like the Bruins used to play.
01:07:33
Matt LaRose
Yeah. The, the Florida Panthers are who the Bruins pretend that they are.
01:07:38
Fuck Off
They are who they used to be, and they are who they want to be, and they are who they still think they are, but they're not.
01:07:40
Matt LaRose
yeah yeah and and at the rate that they're going they're never going to be ever and and now they just literally gave them like a good piece of the puzzle to add to their team like you're like he's gonna fucking fit in and unreal there yeah
01:07:48
Fuck Off
No, they will never, ever going to be good again.
01:08:02
Fuck Off
Well, this year, maybe next, but he doesn't have that long left.
01:08:06
Matt LaRose
Yeah, but still, whatever, man. Look at fucking when the Bruins, it's the same thing as when the Bruins got Mark Reckie.
01:08:10
Fuck Off
yeah They're going to win the cup this year if Kachuk comes back.
01:08:13
Matt LaRose
Yeah, when the Bruins got Mark Reckie for 2010-2011, that's literally what, yeah, that's literally what they got him for.
01:08:16
Fuck Off
That was awesome.
01:08:19
Matt LaRose
And now Barshan's going to be the same thing for Florida.
01:08:22
Fuck Off
He's Jager.
01:08:23
Matt LaRose
Yeah, he really is, dude. And he can fucking, he's, dude, the guy's fucking nasty. He's been playing good all season. I mean, he he was had a tough beginning of the season, but lately he's been playing really fucking well.
01:08:34
Fuck Off
Just getting rid of of him, does it's it's nonsensical. And you know me, I've been on these guys all year.
01:08:39
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
01:08:41
Fuck Off
i think they're fucking idiots. This fucking Bruins Club is just retarded.
01:08:43
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
01:08:46
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
01:08:47
Fuck Off
But Marshawn, he's not a big piece of coin, and he's willing to rewrite to stay.
01:08:53
Matt LaRose
yeah
01:08:53
Fuck Off
He's the captain. He's a leader. um And you're going to get what you get out of him 100% all the time. They should have dealt pasta is what they should have done over Marshawn.
01:09:02
Matt LaRose
yeah
01:09:03
Fuck Off
They need more of a team leader in the locker room. They need someone who can teach these guys how to be pros. He's one of the last of the old guard. He's Canadian, so they fucking will listen to him as well.
01:09:15
Matt LaRose
Yeah.
01:09:16
Fuck Off
And I think that they really missed the boat there. They should have packaged up McAvoy and pasta and said, hit the fucking bricks.
01:09:24
Matt LaRose
Yeah. They should have traded them for fucking to Chuck.
01:09:28
Fuck Off
I don't think they would have done it.
