Speaker 2: Definitely better than Ruby Red. All right, guys, Simple Man Podcast back here with Nikky Rod, Nikky Ryan, and myself. Ethan is in Canada. Speaker 1: Um, well, you have a four-wheeler. Speaker 2: I have a four-wheeler, guys. So, Speaker 1: You have cash? Speaker 2: I I have cash, yeah, yeah. Speaker 1: Now he has a four-wheeler. Speaker 2: I definitely have cash. Yeah, definitely have it for sure, for sure. How much is it again? No, so I get a call about an hour ago and Nikky Rod's like, "Yo, you home?" And I was like, "Uh, you know, about to be home. Uh, be home in like, you know, 10 minutes or so." He's like, "You want to check out your four-wheeler?" And I was like, "What?" And he's like, "Yeah, I'll be at your house." So then I go to my home, then he's there like two minutes later. He has this ATV in the back of his Ford Raptor. And, uh, he's like, "Go on, take it for a spin." So I rode this thing around. What is it? It's a Speaker 1: It's a 2008 LTR 400. Speaker 2: Whatever that means. Speaker 1: Means it's a beast. Speaker 2: All right. Speaker 1: She eats, bro. She is fast. Speaker 2: That motherfucker's fast. Speaker 1: Fast, reliable. Kind of like you. Speaker 2: Fast and reliable. That's me. Uh, so Nikky, when are you getting your four-wheeler? Speaker 3: I'll eventually fucking eventually get one. I need to get a Tacoma first. Speaker 1: I believe you'll buy one, but I don't know if I believe that you'll actually use it. Speaker 2: You could just say that you don't want to come with us. Speaker 3: What do you mean? I've I've I have probably ridden quads more than the both of you. I actually have for sure. I grew up on quads. Speaker 2: What does that have to do with buying a quad to hang out with us? Speaker 3: What do you mean? I love like I love riding quads. I grew up doing it. Speaker 2: So when are you going to get one? Speaker 3: After I get a Tacoma. Speaker 2: When are you going to When are you going to get a Tacoma? Speaker 3: When I'm rich. Speaker 2: So you bought it already. Speaker 1: Dude, what's a sick all of a five-less? Fuck yeah. You're telling me if we're all going off-roading, you're not going to come with us? Speaker 3: If I have a quad, yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, dog. Speaker 3: It's not a smart financial decision. Speaker 1: It is if it makes you happier. Speaker 2: The thing is it's not a dumb one. Cuz if you buy it and it turns out that you actually don't ride it or or you need the money, you sell it and you're really not going to take a loss. The one that that that, uh, you got is a 2008, right? Speaker 1: He's asking He's asking He's trying to sell it for 42. Got it for 35. You're not going to lose money if you use it for a couple years and sell it. Speaker 2: Yeah, not really going to lose too much money. Speaker 3: I don't know. Speaker 2: It's dumb if you if you bought it bought something that like that can't be resold. Speaker 1: Or like brand new, brand new is bad. Speaker 2: Brand new. Speaker 1: Newly used or something that's reliable. Speaker 2: Yeah, brand new vehicles in general are very very bad for sure. But I feel like a 20-year-old ATV is really not going to depreciate any more than it already has. Speaker 1: Ethan, you're going to appreciate it when you're riding. Speaker 2: I will definitely appreciate it. Sal has one now. I have one. Speaker 1: You already done that? Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 1: I purchased one for Sal that he's I was like, "Hey, do you do you want this if I go out and and I buy it?" He was like, "Yeah." Comes, sees it. He was like, "Hey, I think I want something better." I was like, "Nice. You can find your own ATV now." Speaker 2: Yeah, so Nikky Rod purchased one cuz it's basically like Nikky Rod knows the quads. So he's going on marketplace, checking out what he thinks is a good deal. Then he goes to the place, negotiates, checks out the actual vehicle and, uh, you know, gets the deal done and then brings it back to his house. And, uh, yeah, Sal backed out. Maybe Ethan wants it. Does Ethan want it? Speaker 1: If he wants it, he takes it. Honestly, I don't own mine. Uh, since I've had it, every morning my son goes to the garage, he's like, "Up, up." And we just cruise around the neighborhood for like an hour. So, I'm fine with that. I can't do that on your quad. It's it's too fast. But this one's like a like a cruiser. I'm cool with that. Speaker 2: Dude, this thing is fast. Speaker 1: It's fast, yeah. Speaker 2: I'm so excited to be riding this thing. Speaker 1: That's that's it's a motocross ATV. Like it's great for the trails, great suspension. That's it on that. Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. I'm going to keep it on I'm going to keep all four wheels on the ground unless the front ones want to come up. Speaker 1: Yeah, we just Dude, we're going to do it every month for like a like the foreseeable future. You're going to see in like six months, you're going to be you're going to be so much better. It's going to happen quick. Speaker 2: I'm excited. You got to get a trailer, right? Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll just get a trailer that can fit at least like at least two. Um, cuz Sal has a truck. You and Ethan don't have a truck, so I'll put mine in the bed and then yours in the two. Speaker 2: And then, uh, Sal can just put his in his truck. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: And then, And then I'm fucked. Yeah, I can't even go. Speaker 1: Dude, if you if Yeah, you need a truck. Speaker 2: If you if you got a quad, we'll just get a bigger trailer. Speaker 1: Keep it at Sal's and I'll get a bigger trailer. I'd actually do that. Speaker 2: What? Speaker 1: I'd do I would just get a bigger trailer. Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Speaker 1: Keep it at Sal's. Speaker 2: You can just keep it at his place. Oh, but then it would be difficult to actually get it. Yeah, you can keep it at Sal's. What what was your what was your solution? Why? Keep it at Sal's? Speaker 1: Keep it at Sal's. Speaker 2: Cuz he has a house. You can't keep it here. Speaker 1: He has a house. Speaker 2: He can put it in his garage. He has a three-car garage. Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to go go to bubble wrap. Speaker 2: Yeah, but Ethan's Yeah, Sal's right here. Then you'd have to go to here and Bute. Where versus just here. Speaker 1: You could just get a trailer and tow it with your Actually, I have a trailer. Speaker 2: You have a tow hitch. You have a tow hitch. Bro, he can do it with the Subaru. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Speaker 2: I have a trailer hitch. Yeah, we used to Yeah, my dad literally with that car used to bring the quads. With the Let's go. Get this fucking guy. Let's go. Honestly, just get one and then, uh, just say that Nikky has to buy it from you. We have to force him into it. Speaker 1: Surprise, I have one. Speaker 2: He might get nauseous before. Speaker 3: I just fucking paid fucking tax bill. I need to chill right now. Speaker 2: This is, uh, probably partially a tax write-off. Speaker 1: It is for sure. It's for content. Speaker 2: Cuz it's for content. Speaker 1: You're doing it for YouTube. Speaker 2: If we film every single Speaker 1: We film just once. It's right. It's deductible. It's for content. Speaker 2: We'll see. Speaker 1: Like this room is is cuz we only use it for podcasting. This is this like, you know, 800 square foot room is tax. Speaker 2: This is this is a tax deduction. Speaker 1: Absolutely. Speaker 2: No, it is. It is. I I actually Yeah. It actually is, but it's only from, uh, I only moved here in July, so I can only do it for half the year. And then it was at your place before. I had nothing in my in my rented place. Speaker 1: Well, we still podcast We've been both places. Speaker 2: Before I even, uh, owned this house. No, cuz this house was built in July. When I moved here in July. So half the year, six months, it's about 198 ft square feet of Speaker 1: They're going to call you. They're going to call you. Speaker 2: Uh, Speaker 1: 800 square foot. Speaker 2: 800? No, no, this is like Maybe I should have said like 2,000 square feet. It's a pretty big room. And then also my little breakfast nook is also, uh, Speaker 1: Only for Yeah. Speaker 2: Only for business, so it's a tax write-off as well. Speaker 1: Why only for business? My pool? Speaker 2: Only for business. It's a recovery. Speaker 1: You did not write that off. Speaker 2: I did. I wrote that off. Speaker 1: No, I would not write that off. Speaker 2: Uh, Ally, don't you want a quad? Speaker 3: I'll get a quad one day. Speaker 2: I'll get one for sure. Speaker 3: Just not right now. Speaker 2: She's going to be out there quadding with us. You're not going to have a quad? Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm going to throw that bitch on the trailer and leave her. Speaker 2: No, the quad. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 2: Damn. Oh, yeah, so everyone's getting quads. It's going to be our new hobby. We're going to start filming it. Speaker 1: We went to the Supercross yesterday. That was sick. Speaker 2: Yeah, that was the first Supercross I've ever been to in my entire life. It was really cool, actually. So, the the guy that the main guy Speaker 1: In the 250 class. Speaker 2: In the 250 class is this dude named Hayden Deegan. Had no idea who he was prior. But we go there. This guy's the goat of 250. Or like a savage savage at 250. Um, there was one time, I think in the third race, he wasn't So the first race, he he was in first the entire time. Like off the start was fucking all right, first and then no one could catch him. Then I think it it it was either the second or third one where Hayden came out in like maybe third or fourth and was behind for a little bit. I was like, "Holy crap." And then and then he ended up winning it. Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. Pretty cool. Speaker 2: It's so sick to see the battles. Like Speaker 1: Also to see mid mid-match or mid-race adjustments. Like he went from this one section that was right in front of us. He would go come around the berm and go double triple or No, triple, triple. Speaker 2: No, triple, triple. Speaker 1: Triple, triple, right? But then there's like some traffic and he's like makes an adjustment and he goes double quad and then just flies past people. Dude, it's Speaker 2: It's crazy. Speaker 1: It's crazy what these guys can do on on this 200-pound machine just flying through there. Speaker 2: This kid is like 20 years old and making millions of dollars just riding a motorcycle. Speaker 1: He's going to race every weekend and if you're if you're like winning race, you get like 250k bonus per per win or something like that, something crazy. Speaker 2: Not even including like the sponsorships that you have, the brand deals. How sick is that? Speaker 1: Yeah, like the the race itself pays you for a bonus and then all of your sponsors you negotiate bonuses for wins, so they're it's nuts. Speaker 2: Talk about win bonus. Now that UFC's on Paramount, they doubled their What they they doubled their their like fight of the night and like bonuses like that. So it's like 50 to 100k. But now if you get a finish, so if you get a knockout or a submission just in general, you get an extra 50k, I think it is, or 25k. Speaker 3: Yeah, 25k. Speaker 2: 25k. But Volkanovski beat Diego Lopez yesterday. Did you watch the full fight? Speaker 3: Yeah, I watched the full fight. Speaker 2: Dude, what an amazing Speaker 1: Dominant. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 2: So dominant. Speaker 3: One of the judges scored it had had him winning all five rounds. The other one scored it as he lost one round. Speaker 1: Any significant things happened? Like was he was he dropping Diego? Was he out-wrestling him? Like what like what why was he so dominant? Speaker 2: So, from my perspective, the thing that I realized with Volk is that like his offensive attacks in in terms of like, you know, say like a cross, his hooks, his uppercuts, his kicks, whatever. None of them are actually like he has a devastating like our group calls them kill shots, right? He doesn't have any devastating like kill shots where like you don't want to get hit by this thing cuz this like a Pereira left hook. It's like if you don't want to get hit by that cuz, you know, lights out. But what he does better better than anyone else is that his footwork and his positioning gets him to these places where like he literally he just rarely gets hit, you know? So it's just such a a tactical battle of of fighting and, uh, you know, he mixes up his timing super well. His footwork is phenomenal. So that's really in my opinion why it's such a great fighter to watch and like dude, Diego really couldn't do anything to him. Diego actually broke both of his feet. Speaker 1: No way. Speaker 2: A little off topic, yeah. Kicking. I don't know why he was kicking so much in this fight cuz he Speaker 1: Why was he kicking? Speaker 2: Like elbows, kicking. Speaker 1: That's how he broke it, yeah. Speaker 2: I'm sure, yeah. It it sucks. Like when you when you're ripping kicks. Speaker 3: You can see when he broke the one. Speaker 2: I remember there was one. Speaker 3: Yeah, the one he had a physical reaction when he broke one of them. Speaker 2: Dude. Speaker 1: He's just sending it to the elbow. But obviously he's not trying to hit ribs or something, right? Speaker 2: Well, you you want to you want to hit ribs. Speaker 1: Yeah, but he's Speaker 2: He's trying, yeah, but it's like you catch an elbow, like it So, when you have shin guards on, sometimes you can just you just send it and then there's no like repercussions about like, you know, where you're hitting. Unless like if you throw a teep and you catch elbows, that that really sucks. But with shin guards, you don't really feel it. And if you're or if you're fighting and now you don't have these shin guards on and you try to send it the same way, it's like, dude, if you catch an elbow, your foot's going to get fucked up. So wild. Then there was, um, Hooker, uh, Benois Saint-Denis. Speaker 1: What's she cheap? Speaker 2: Dude, Dan Hooker is insane in my opinion. Speaker 1: On a decline. Speaker 2: Uh, well, not who knows, you know, he's never really like he's not seen as a guy that will ever be the champion. I think he's ranked like five or six or something like that. But he's still a great fighter, but he's in bottom mount and Benois Saint-Denis is elbowing the shit out of him, right? And then Hooker's like this and then occasionally throwing out a punch from bottom mount. I was like, Speaker 1: I'm all some kipping, brother. Speaker 2: Dude, I'm just like, "What is going on?" He ended up getting finished. But, uh, Speaker 1: TKO? Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah, TKO. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: A bloody one. Speaker 2: It was a bloody one. It was a bloody one. So wild. Interesting. I mean, with back to the Volk. Volk is 37, I think. I think he's 37 and it's really cool to see, um, how dominant he could still be as champion. It's a young man's game, you know. Speaker 1: They usually when they lose the boat at that age, they're like they're just done. Speaker 2: I was on that side. I thought I thought that's what was happening. Like when he lost, uh, what cuz he lost to Islam. Well, he went up and then lost to Islam twice. Then got knocked out by Topuria. I was like, "Brother, this is over. There's no there's no hope for him." Comes back, beats Diego, then beats Diego again even more, uh, dominant. Is he retiring? What's going on? Speaker 3: Um, not yet. He was talking about, yeah, like picking his next opponent. I want to see him and Mosar. Speaker 2: Oh, wow. Dude, he beats Mosar, I think. Speaker 3: Yeah, that or, um, I actually haven't seen the other guy fight, Murphy. Speaker 2: Oh, Lerone Murphy. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 3: I think those those are the two guys Volk mentioned. Speaker 2: Lerone Murphy's really good, actually. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 3: I want to see him and Mosar. I think that'll be a sick fight. Speaker 2: Oh, did you guys see Rufy? Speaker 3: No. I didn't I didn't see that fight. Speaker 2: Who the fuck was he fighting? Oh, Fiziev. Okay, so Fiziev is like a, um, he's made he's like a kickboxer, Muay Thai kickboxer guy, whatever. Great striking. And, uh, Rufy also looked phenomenal. His distance was great. You know, really not getting hit. And, uh, was sticking out some jabs. Then he faints a jab, comes with a right hand and just completely like not not a completely knocked him out, but it was like really rocked Fiziev and then finishes the job and, uh, gets away with the the TKO. But there was a something crazy that Volk was saying was that the week the fight week before or the beginning of fight week, Rufy came down with the flu. So, there were some talks about like if he could even fight cuz the flu was so bad. And then something happened, I guess, even the day of fight or the actual fight day, they didn't talk about what happened, but Volk was like, "I'm surprised that he fought, you know, we're lucky that that he even fought today." Speaker 1: That's crazy. Speaker 2: That's insane. Getting the flu and fighting. It's almost like getting staff and competing in CJI. Speaker 1: Pulling it off. Good shit, bro. Speaker 2: Yeah, that was not easy. Mhm. So what's going on in your guys' lives? What's new? Speaker 1: You first, Nikky. Speaker 3: Not much. Just picked up some more furniture for the house. Speaker 2: But you get my table? Speaker 3: Hmm? Speaker 2: You get my table? Speaker 3: Nah, I got a dresser. Well, Ally Ally got a dresser. Speaker 2: Where'd you get it from? Speaker 3: Marketplace. Speaker 2: Nice. Speaker 3: Dresser and two end tables and a mirror for $420. Speaker 2: That's a good deal. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 2: That's good. Yeah, I still need a dresser. I don't have a dresser yet. After after my fight, we'll get a dresser. What else? Speaker 3: Um, getting into woodworking. Speaker 2: Oh, tell the guys about this. How did this come about? Speaker 3: Uh, well, I was just watching a bunch of like DIY home renovation shit. And then I went into that. What? Speaker 4: I was redoing a table and I thought you had to use a saw. And then you were like, "This is sick." Speaker 3: Nah, I was that's not what actually got me into woodworking. Um, I was watching all that stuff and I was like, it was before you even started doing the table. It was. Speaker 2: It was about the same time that he wanted to buy the quad. He'd been woodworking longer than you have cuz he grew up doing it, okay? Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, but yeah, then kind of just went down that rabbit hole and then ended up watching Blacktail Studios. Speaker 2: What the fuck is that? Speaker 3: It's like a big YouTuber who who makes epoxy tables. And then I was like, "I want to make my own epoxy gaming desk and then eventually a dining room table and a desk for Ally." Speaker 2: So what step are you in right now? Speaker 3: I bought like all the slabs. I bought all the tools. Um, I made the the form for it out of like, uh, melamine particle board. Um, and then the the only thing's left that I really have to do is I have to finish preparing the slabs, which I started doing. But it's been cold as fuck outside and like you're not supposed to. Speaker 2: Oh, you can't do it in the cold. Speaker 3: Well, you you can, but I just don't you're not supposed to wear like long-sleeve shirts when you're using the tools and shit. And I'm doing it in my garage. Yeah. Like Speaker 2: Why? Speaker 3: Uh, just cuz it can get caught in the tools. Like Tony was literally like he told me about this like last week. He was doing a he's making epoxy clocks. Speaker 1: Are you feeling stuck? Most guys just accept feeling stuck. Stress, low energy, bad sleep like it's normal, but it's not. So stop feeling stuck, fix the root issues and start living like you used to. Speaker 3: And, uh, he was using, um, a router and he had a long-sleeve shirt on and it fucking caught his thing and it sent the router out of his hand. Speaker 2: I don't even know what a router is. Speaker 3: Uh, it's like a thing like you can kind of like carve shit into wood. Speaker 1: A little spinny thing. Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. Um, you can use it to like round edges on tables and shit like that. Speaker 2: Call it a router or a rotor? Speaker 1: Rotor. Speaker 2: Rotor? Speaker 3: I think it's called a router. But I could be wrong. Speaker 2: It's router? Speaker 3: Yeah. Um, Speaker 2: How do you spell it? Speaker 3: R O U T E R. Yeah, router. Router. Um, you can use it to like there's like flattening bits that you can get things like perfectly level and shit like that. Um, but yeah, he had a long-sleeve shirt on, caught it, sent it out of his hand and then, uh, he like, uh, fucking pulled the clock off the table, broke the clock and shit. But it's just dangerous. Yeah, cuz you're long-sleeves can get caught in it. And I'm doing all of it in my garage, so I just wanted to wait for it to warm up. But yeah, now I just got to finish. I started you have to like take all the bark and like softwood off, which I already did a bunch of that, but I have to use like a angle grinder to do the rest, so I'm just waiting for it to warm up. Speaker 2: So it has no nothing to do with Ally's woodworking? You're not going to giving her any credit? Speaker 3: No, no, no. That wasn't the reason why I got into it. Speaker 2: What do you have to say about that? No comment. Good. Speaker 4: All I have to say is this. Router. Speaker 2: Router. Speaker 1: Router. Speaker 2: Router. Speaker 1: Sounds about You Siri has an accent, huh? Speaker 2: What's it what's going on with you, Nikky Rod? What's not going on with you? What's going on with me? Let me think. Let me think what I've been doing. Let's see here. Um, I am I'm having a lot of fun nowadays. Speaker 1: All right. Speaker 2: Having fun. We're getting into the ATV stuff. We just went to Supercross. Um, getting for Oh, dude, I'm getting good at Jiu-Jitsu. I was good before, but I'm getting actually excellent. Speaker 1: Been playing guard. Speaker 2: Been playing a lot of guard, doing a lot of like C and B and C game stuff. Um, damn, I'm nasty. Speaker 1: Who the fuck Speaker 2: I'm so nasty. Speaker 1: Are we going to get you to fight next? Speaker 2: Let's go. Speaker 1: You're too dangerous. No one no one wants to fight you, dude. Speaker 2: I'm so dangerous. There's only a few guys that like are are even, you know, have big big enough names to it's worth my time. But I'm just doing it for money. I'll I'll go against anybody. It doesn't matter. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Pay me. Speaker 2: Who do you think he should fight? Speaker 3: Uh, I think he should fight Pena. Speaker 1: I'll take I mean, Griffith just beat Pena. Speaker 3: Or Griffith, yeah. Speaker 1: I'll take I'll take Griffith. I'll take Pena. I'll take Griffith. I'll take Mergali. I'll do Kany again. I don't really care. I'll take it anybody. Show me the money. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Mason Fowler, too. He's he's good. Yeah. Speaker 2: Is he is he in a contract with UFC? He's the he's the champ there. Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so, yeah. Speaker 2: He's under exclusive contract. Speaker 1: You see, uh, the guy that Mikey's fighting? Speaker 2: No. Speaker 3: No. Speaker 2: Who is it? Speaker 1: Another nobody. Speaker 2: I I don't really know who he is. Speaker 3: I don't I don't yeah, I didn't I didn't see anything about it yet. Speaker 2: I'm just like, "Send him someone good." Speaker 3: I mean, hey, brother, you fucking getting paid a shit ton of money to fight. Speaker 2: I mean, no, no, no. Mikey No big deal. Mikey can do it. Speaker 1: What's the name? Speaker 3: Oh, is that Shane his name Shane? Speaker 1: Shane Golis. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 1: That's good. Speaker 2: Montegue. Montegue is his last name. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Shay Montegue, I think his name is. Speaker 1: That's wild. Yeah, Shay Montegue. Speaker 2: What's what are his accolades? Maybe IBJJF guy? Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, black belt world champion. Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he's won some stuff at black belt, yeah. Speaker 1: That means nothing. Literally means nothing. A black belt IBJJF world champion means absolutely nothing. Speaker 2: I wonder how that goes. That match. Speaker 1: He just breaks his leg. This guy has no idea how to fight. Speaker 2: To be honest, there's nobody I don't think there's anybody in the world at Mikey's weight class that can beat him. Speaker 1: What he doesn't have a Speaker 2: Especially under that rule set. Speaker 1: What is he? 97 pounds? Speaker 2: He fights at like what, 135, I think, right? Speaker 1: That's it's lower than what's ADCC's latest? 45. Speaker 2: 45. Speaker 1: Damn. Speaker 2: There's not a lot of humans at that weight. Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. Speaker 2: Yeah, he should, uh, they should put him against some Speaker 1: You're 135. Speaker 2: Not Jiu-Jitsu. Speaker 1: Take him out, boy. Speaker 2: I I'd be down for a UFC BJJ, uh, BJJ fight at 135. Speaker 1: Hard for him to leg lock you. Speaker 2: It would be very difficult for him to leg lock me. It'd be annoying to cut the weight for a Jiu-Jitsu match, though. Speaker 1: If they pay you. Speaker 2: You're right. I'm in. Speaker 1: God damn it, I'm in. Speaker 2: Oh, dude, I was watching our podcast and I realized that a lot of times I forget that we're on camera. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: I'm just like talking to the boys and I like like we're in the locker room or something. I completely forget we're on. Speaker 2: No, there is a fly in the wall that's giving incriminating evidence to the public at all times. Speaker 1: Like people watch this and they get an inside look of who I am or what I am. I'm like, "This is not I don't know if this is good. I don't want you guys to know who I am." Speaker 2: Well, the thing is it could be bad too cuz it's like we're so unfiltered that people think that this is how we are all the time.

Speaker 2: What I don't know what type of gloves to get cuz I have like I have some random gloves, but it's like, do I need riding gloves? No. Speaker 1: It's just like it's just a layer of protection like a branch whacks your hand or something. Or if it's cold out. Speaker 2: Or I whack the branch's hand. Speaker 1: You go you could go to a power sports place, try on gloves or just order some some dirt bike gloves online, whatever looks cool. Um, that's it. Just wear some boots. I I think, uh, Tim's are good. I like the cowboy boots a little bit more cuz they go up higher. That's it. You're good. You could go more. Speaker 2: They go up higher, like on your leg? Speaker 1: Yeah, just like when you're wearing Tim's, like dirt is going to go in the boot because the it's a short boot. Yeah. Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah. Speaker 1: You know, or you go motocross boots. Speaker 2: You know a fun story about fun story about those those are your old Tim's, I believe. Speaker 1: They were stolen. Speaker 2: Oh, really? Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Let's listen to this. Not by me. Listen to this. I offered them to give them back. So, there was a summer way back when. I don't know when it was, maybe 2018 or 2017. Speaker 1: Jersey. Speaker 2: In Jersey. I was like a blue belt. Taza needed a place to live for a couple months. So he lived on my couch for a couple months. And, uh, the few months go by, then he goes back to Canada. And he left a bunch of his shit. Like there was like a a belt there, like, um, from one of the tournaments and stuff. And there were some Tim's. All right, I can't not answer this cuz this is my wife. Speaker 4: Oh, shit. Speaker 2: Hey, babe, you're on the you're on the Simple Man Podcast. Speaker 4: Oh, shit. What's up, dog? Speaker 2: Hey, um, sorry. I didn't know you were podcasting. I want you to call me when you open the garage and look in the garage. Speaker 4: Okay. I'm scared. Speaker 2: That's it. And we'll talk then. We'll talk when you get to the garage. Speaker 4: Sweet Jesus. Okay. Speaker 2: All right, love you. Bye. Speaker 4: Okay, love you. Bye. Speaker 2: So, Speaker 1: She's going to get something for her like flowers or roses. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: She's like, "Oh, you bought yourself a car and a four-wheeler." Speaker 2: Well, I have to think I was thinking about this. I was I was I'll show you this. This is, uh, my most recent This is as soon as you called me saying that you're bringing a four-wheeler to the house, I want you to look at this Chat GPT input. This is my most recent Chat GPT. The most recent one. Speaker 1: All right, quick buyer rules so you don't lose money. Speaker 2: Here on. I'll look up the, uh, what it actually says. Speaker 1: Jewelry. Speaker 2: Yeah. Cuz I was like I was like, "Fuck. This is happening too quick. I need to get Mariella something." Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to hook her up. Speaker 2: So, but I don't know. Speaker 1: You know who's got good jewelry that's pretty cheap? Costco Sams. Speaker 2: Um, but the biggest thing is that, uh, Speaker 1: You didn't give me any reaction there, but okay. Speaker 2: Oh, really? Thank you. Speaker 1: Jesus. Speaker 2: The the biggest thing with big purchases, I feel like they should as long as it doesn't depreciate like crazy is a thing. Speaker 1: Anything you buy new is going to depreciate. Speaker 2: But with jewelry, that's why I was looking up like what what jewelry can I get her that's not going to Speaker 1: Gold's going to hold the best value. Speaker 2: Yeah, so Speaker 1: 4K or 14K. Speaker 2: Yeah, so gold gold was up there. Um, natural diamond stud earrings was up there. Cartier Love Ring was up there. The thing is I don't really like like 22 karat gold. It's too soft. Speaker 1: No, no, no. You need 14. Speaker 2: Yeah, but that depreciates technically. Speaker 1: No, it's gold. Speaker 2: Um, Speaker 1: Gold is constantly going up. Speaker 2: Okay. Speaker 1: Yeah, you can't you can't. Speaker 2: Vintage Rolex. I can get her a Rolex. Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to play for. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah, 22, 24, yeah. Speaker 2: The more the pure the gold, the the gold is a soft metal. Yeah. Speaker 1: It gets softer. Speaker 2: It gets softer cuz it's more pure. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 1: They make it with like steel or something. I don't know. Speaker 2: Something like that. Um, yeah, so I'm trying to figure out what to get her. I'll get her after my fight. Um, or maybe this week cuz we'll be in Philly. I was trying to figure out where what to do. Speaker 1: It's it's good, uh, good shopping in Philly for gold. Um, you go downtown or you could go to New York. Speaker 2: I was trying to ask her too, like what she wants and then she doesn't Speaker 1: You don't know. You just you got to get her what she what she wants. You get Speaker 2: She'll like it because you like it. Speaker 1: I should listen to you. My dog. Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we got to figure out what to fucking get her cuz I can't I can't get the car and a quad and now Speaker 1: She'll be like, "Um, something for yourself again." Speaker 2: Exactly. I know. So we'll get her something this week. But anyways, back to what were we just talking about? Speaker 1: I forget. I don't know. Speaker 2: Ally, please. What were we just talking about? Speaker 1: Lost. Speaker 2: How do we get to Taza, the boots? The boots. Okay, so he goes to Montreal. He has a bunch of shit here. And, um, so I I get it all together, whatever. I'm like, "Hey, bro, uh, you know, you left a bunch of stuff. Like you have like this, um, like, uh, belt here, whatever. Uh, some nice Tim's, whatever." He's like, "Oh, man, keep the Tim's." And I was like, "You sure?" And then, uh, he's like, "Bro, you let me stay on your couch for two months. Bro, keep the Tim's. It's no big deal." I was like, "Okay, sure. Thank you." This is 2018, something like that. So, one day throughout like the winter, it's cold, so I wear Tim's to, uh, Henzo's, I think. And then Nikky's like, "Bro, those are my fucking Tim's." And I was like, "What are you talking about?" Like Taza gave me those. He's like, "Taza stole those from me." Speaker 1: Wow. Speaker 2: I knew they were my Tim's cuz they have like a little fucking scratch mark on the end. So I saw that scratch. I'm like, "These are my I'm like, I've been looking for these things for a fucking year. I'm like, these are my Tim's." Speaker 1: That's wild. Speaker 2: Yeah, he just gifted that to me. And I was like, "You can have them back." He was like, "No, it's it's whatever now." But that was I remember when that happened. I was like, "No, Taza gave them to me." He's like, "Yeah, they're my fucking Tim's." They have a scratch. I was like, "How did Taza get them?" Speaker 3: I don't I don't fucking even remember cuz he lived with me for a little while, too. Um, he might have like asked me to borrow them during the fucking winter or something. And I was like, "Yeah, I don't care. That's fine." And then I just never got them back. Speaker 2: Crazy, huh? Speaker 1: Wow. Speaker 2: Ally, what should I get Mariella? Speaker 4: Um, jewelry, guys. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: You just you just don't waste money. You just do it. Speaker 2: Hmm? Speaker 1: What? Speaker 2: I could get her a necklace. Actually, she lost a nice necklace that I, uh, Speaker 1: I think gold 14 karat necklace. Speaker 2: Maybe a necklace. I did have a, uh, I got her a nice necklace that, um, somehow she lost it. That was an expensive one, too. Speaker 1: How much? Speaker 2: Like two grand. Speaker 1: Had diamonds in it? Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Just stick with the gold. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: I should next time I'll probably I'll make sure it. Speaker 1: Rings. Speaker 2: Rings. She does She does wear rings, um, but sometimes with the tattooing, it can get annoying. Um, so if I get her a ring, it has to be just be like a normal band cuz like even her engagement ring, like, uh, sometimes it gets annoying cuz she has to wear like rubber gloves during the tattooing thing. Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, she's fucking take it off when she's tattooing. Speaker 2: Yeah. But the biggest thing is like, all right, if there's cash in the safe, which I don't have a safe in my house. But if there were to be a safe and there were cash in it, it would be better if that cash would be in the in the, uh, form of jewelry instead of, uh, just cash. Speaker 1: I guess. I mean, cash is still king. Speaker 2: But it's So my thought if you want that, just if you got 10k, just buy 10k worth of pure gold. Speaker 2: Well, the thing is I think, um, well, yeah, there's that. But I think, uh, if there's cash in a safe, it might as well be jewelry then cuz at least you could wear the thing and then still keep it in the safe and you can always sell it if you really needed to. But cash technically just depreciates anyway and it does nothing in your safe. Speaker 1: Gold will appreciate. Speaker 2: Exactly. That's why it's like it's probably better like that's why I think it makes sense. Speaker 1: Really? Speaker 2: I I'm not getting that. If anything, I was looking at, uh, like like lady Rolexes. But, uh, she didn't even wear watches. I was trying to ask her like what what does she want? Speaker 1: Dude, she's not she's not materialistic. Speaker 2: She said a baby. Speaker 1: She said a baby? Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Dude, you can get her anything. Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. She'll wear anything. And what if you like it, you're like, "This will look good on her." She'll love it. Speaker 1: Fair enough. Speaker 2: You know what'll look good on her? Speaker 1: The baby. Speaker 2: A Raptor. Speaker 1: You drive over her grave on you. Speaker 2: Like the truck. Speaker 1: Yeah. Speaker 2: No, the the the flying dinosaur. Speaker 1: Or the four-wheeler, the Raptor, too. Speaker 2: Hmm. Well, Damn, boy. What to talk about? Speaker 1: You're so you're so untalkative cuz you're on cut. Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm getting a little bit ansier. I feel myself getting a bit more, uh, Speaker 1: Sharper. Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's sharper. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 1: Prepare for battle. Speaker 2: Hmm, we'll bang out a Q&A. Let's do it. Speaker 1: How do you calm down before a fight? Speaker 2: How do you calm down before a fight? Speaker 1: I mean, I'll tell you my version. Um, just cry till you can't cry anymore. That's what I do. No, um, honestly, calm down before a fight. Um, depends what you what you mean. So like if you're nervous, uh, let let yourself be nervous. I think being nervous is good, but you use it to think of it as excitement as opposed to just being like afraid or just regular nerves. You can turn that nervous energy into excited energy. Um, and then you don't want to be too amped up, right? Like some people, uh, when it comes to calming down, like some people go out there like, "Oh, I want to kill this guy." So you go out at 100 and then think about like lifting. When when you hit a one rep max, well, that's your 100%. You can only go down from there. So, you know, in longer Jiu-Jitsu matches, we like to go out with a steady mindset, steady pace at like 50, 60% and gradually rise and as we start, uh, as we start gaining in energy and in pace, our opponent starts decreasing. So that's how we overcome them. Um, so yeah, for me, uh, like an hour before comp, if I'm listening to music, it is like very slow. Sometimes it's like it's like some, uh, what is it? Mozart? Mozart, right? That's what I do. Speaker 2: That's what I do. Speaker 1: Uh, some Mozart. Sometimes it's just some calm classical, calm country music, chilling. And then I take the music out, get gets to my warm-up and once I hit my warm-up, get my first wind then, I'm I'm good to go. I'm prepared. You know, also part of it is just accepting that you've done everything you can do. You're where you're supposed to be in life and just go out there and get give it your best shot. Speaker 2: That's really good. I think out of like all of us, you know, pre-competition, I feel like, um, you're probably the expert to talk to. I feel like you have a a good, um, good competition mindset. I think we we all do, but I think Speaker 1: Yeah, you do great, too. Speaker 2: Thank you, dog. Um, Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on music? Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on music? Cuz I hear I hear two different methods. And I I hear athletes at the highest level do both. Like some athletes really like to listen to music. Some athletes don't because they want to experience what it sounds like in the arena before anyway. So it's like Speaker 1: I I like music when I'm in the sleeping part of my day. So like, you know, two, three hours before I'm going to compete, I'm laying down. I got the eye mask on, got earbuds in, low music or no music at all, just to have like regular like squishy earbuds so I don't so I can limit the sound. But I put it put music on just to stay calm, chill and kind of like just be in a Zen mode. And then when I'm ready to to get my warm-up on, I take the music off. I like the second part where I experience the the the sound, the environment. So, honestly, I'll go like, you know, before competition, I'll go out right before I start warming up. I'll just stand in that environment for like a a minute or two and just like, all right, I've been here already. This is just the same thing as practice, right? I'm just going to go out there, go live and have fun. And then I go get my warm-up on. So, you know, I like I like being exposed to that and then just kind of transitioning right into live training. Um, I'm not a fan of having music until right until I I go on the mat, take it off and then go compete. Then I have like this big change of environment essentially. I'm in closed environment within within having the the music on my ears and then right before I compete, I have a massive change where I'm hearing the crowd as opposed to hearing this music. Um, I don't know. I like I like consistency. I think like that's what I think. Speaker 2: You have a an opinion on that? Do you listen to music before competition or what do you like to do? Speaker 3: Yeah, I normally listen like pretty much it depends on the event. Sometimes they make you take your headphones off, but I'll have my headphones on even while I'm walking out. Um, and I'll take them off like once I get to the corner. Speaker 2: What do you like to listen to? Speaker 3: Uh, it's just different every time. Um, yeah, it's just it's I don't have like a set thing. It's just whatever I'm in the mood to listen to. Speaker 1: When I see somebody with listening to music right before they walk out, I know I'm going to win because I'm like, "This guy is trying to get in an escape from this environment." I'm like, "You're you're scared of experiencing this crowd. You don't you're not ready for this. You're trying to hide from the real deal." Speaker 2: The thing is that could be true, but I also fully 100% believe that anything the other person do, you'll be like, "That's the reason why I'm going to win." Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. If I'm just laying down before we go out, he's like, "Oh, he's laying down out there." Speaker 2: He's practicing what he's going to be doing out there. Speaker 1: For sure. I like that to the JT match. Headphones on. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: And you smoked that guy. Speaker 2: Smoked him. Smoked him. Speaker 1: Imagine how fast he was stumbling if he didn't have headphones on. Speaker 2: Yeah. Speaker 1: Twice as fast. No, that's cool. I mean, uh, yeah, I mean, I just I do anything that make myself be better in my head. Speaker 2: That's great. No. Speaker 1: It's positive self-talk, you know. You're going to win your battles. Speaker 2: Fuck yeah. It's such a mental game, competition. Speaker 1: Oh, absolutely. Speaker 2: Cuz you see guys that that, you know, have great skills, but then they they fold under the lights. Or you see guys that like aren't that good in the gym and can just fucking turn it on. You know, I want to ask Marab what he does. We should Did we talk about that in the podcast? Speaker 1: He eats cake. Speaker 2: He eats cake. That motherfucker did five rounds the day of the, uh, Cory Sandhagen fight. He had full five rounds sparring session at noon when he was competing for the world championship against Cory Sandhagen that night. Speaker 1: 40-minute first wind. Speaker 2: That's fucking insane. That's crazy. Speaker 1: That boy is something else, man. Speaker 2: Dude, how do you think the second fight between him and Peter goes? Speaker 3: I think Marab's going to win. Speaker 2: You think? Speaker 3: Just makes an adjustment. Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, they're one and one. Speaker 3: Yeah. Speaker 2: Need a rubber match. I wonder when they're going to do that. Marab's Jiu-Jitsu is insane. But Peter looks so good, man. So technical. Speaker 1: I also like Marab's super like appreciative of the opportunities that he gets. So he he doesn't lose and he's like, "My life's over." He loses, he's like, "Oh, thank you for the opportunity. I'll be back." Speaker 2: Thank you, Dana White. I I love you. I love I love the opportunity. Speaker 1: It's so powerful to just not care. Like someone that is free and careless and like just great at what they do and just can go out there and express freedom. Like that's that's rare, man. Speaker 2: I think it's a big thing is like the gratitude. Like if you're just happy that you're able to do what you love to do, I feel like that probably takes off a big weight off your shoulders. Speaker 1: You're like, "Oh, shit. Like, am I going to win? I need to win to get this, to do to accomplish that." You're just like, "I just happy to be there." So then you have your a great performance and then just accept whatever happens is going to happen. Speaker 2: Fuck yeah. All right, what do we got next? Speaker 4: Um, if you guys weren't sorry, if it weren't for Jiu-Jitsu, where do you guys think you'd be right now? Speaker 2: Hmm. Speaker 1: Honestly, nowadays, I'd probably be trading. Trading stocks or something. These I see these kids or what's what's the what's it called? The little tech guys that do trading and they make a lot of money. Speaker 2: Like Forex or day trading or something like that. Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd probably be a day trader. Yeah. Probably be a day trader. Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know about that one. Speaker 1: Dude, you can these kids are like 19 making millions, bro. I'd probably just do that. Just study the art. I like gambling. Speaker 2: Yeah, we know that. We know that. What would you be doing? Speaker 3: Uh, I'd rather be trying to pursue something in video games. Or if I had to get if I had to get a normal job, I'd be a firefighter. Speaker 1: The mustache making you a firefighter. Speaker 2: Firefighters are a sick job to have. Every firefighter loves being a firefighter. They're like they work two days on, fucking four days off. Speaker 1: I just imagine a fire a fire in a What? Fucking tree mold just burning, Nikky. I can't save you. Speaker 2: Oh, my God. I can't save you. Bro, fuck that shit. What would I be? I think I would I don't know. I'd probably just be an entrepreneur, own a bunch of fucking fitness gyms or something. Speaker 1: Maybe that. Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you'll teach me. Teach me. So many ways to make money. Maybe I'll be a YouTuber. Oh, streamer. I could probably stream. Speaker 1: Probably streaming. Boys making money now. Speaker 2: Bro, uh, these streamers make crazy money, huh? Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Speaker 2: It's an industry that I don't really know too well. Speaker 1: Dude, every it's the reality shows are dead, so people are like, "I'm just going to make my own reality show and just follow me with a camera, answer some questions." Speaker 2: How do they do it so well? Like, dude, some of them are doing nothing and just answering questions and and making fucking bank.
