1

[00:00:42 - Do you have a hard time
understanding the Scottish?] Speaker: 00;00;40;21
1

[00:00:43 - Scottish? Yeah.] Speaker: 00;00;42;16
1

[00:00:45 - Yeah.
Scottish are hard. On the stand there.] Speaker: 00;00;43;19
1

[00:00:48 - I was watching I was watching a woman
in Scotland the other day who was talking.] Speaker: 00;00;45;11
1

[00:00:49 - It was like three minutes.] Speaker: 00;00;48;04
1

[00:00:50 - And at the end of it I'm like,
I don't know what she said.] Speaker: 00;00;49;00
1

[00:00:53 - I have no idea what this woman just said.
It was just like.] Speaker: 00;00;50;24
1

[00:00:54 - Oh la la la la la la.] Speaker: 00;00;53;04
1

[00:00:57 - You know,
I do want to I do want to really tell you] Speaker: 00;00;55;08
1

[00:01:00 - that after, the 40 years
and hundreds of interviews,] Speaker: 00;00;57;14
1

[00:01:01 - this is probably one of] Speaker: 00;01;00;09
1

[00:01:04 - our most important, biggest interviews
I've ever done in my 40 years.] Speaker: 00;01;01;09
1

[00:01:06 - I really want to let the public know
that this one,] Speaker: 00;01;04;12
1

[00:01:08 - this one, believe in and out of here.] Speaker: 00;01;06;22
1

[00:01:11 - The reason why I say that, well,
that is a promoter. Why?] Speaker: 00;01;08;10
1

[00:01:16 - But the reason why I say that
is because it at 1998, I was in Belfast] Speaker: 00;01;11;14
1

[00:01:19 - when bombs were going off and everything
else, and I didn't have that much money,] Speaker: 00;01;16;15
1

[00:01:21 - but I said, I'm bringing Irish fighters
back to Scranton.] Speaker: 00;01;19;11
1

[00:01:22 - I think. Well, that's a good. Move.] Speaker: 00;01;21;20
1

[00:01:23 - A good move.] Speaker: 00;01;22;26
1

[00:01:26 - So yeah, it took me 38 years and
I got the two best in the country here.] Speaker: 00;01;23;10
1

[00:01:28 - So I took a little while. So that's why.] Speaker: 00;01;26;27
1

[00:01:31 - Well, how important
this interview is to me the most.] Speaker: 00;01;28;21
1

[00:01:33 - I'm flattered.] Speaker: 00;01;31;18
1

[00:01:34 - Yeah. I'm so flattered.] Speaker: 00;01;33;00
1

[00:01:39 - These two guys are the real, real a lot of
research in finding these two athletes.] Speaker: 00;01;34;13
1

[00:01:41 - So can we talk about, like,] Speaker: 00;01;39;24
1

[00:01:45 - Doug's history and then, like,
you guys look at you yourself.] Speaker: 00;01;41;14
1

[00:01:46 - You're like, you probably know some of it.] Speaker: 00;01;45;09
1

[00:01:48 - Oh, he. Lives it every day.] Speaker: 00;01;46;25
1

[00:01:52 - So tell me, tell me how you got involved
in this because it's.] Speaker: 00;01;48;25
1

[00:01:54 - And I'm
and I don't want to preface it with like] Speaker: 00;01;52;09
1

[00:01:57 - I haven't been to one of your fights
in a bit and I went to the last one.] Speaker: 00;01;54;08
1

[00:01:59 - I believe you fought at that.] Speaker: 00;01;58;12
1

[00:01:59 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;01;59;15
1

[00:02:01 - Gloss and glory. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;01;59;23
1

[00:02:03 - And then you
you came out like Apollo Creed.] Speaker: 00;02;01;09
1

[00:02:04 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;02;03;24
1

[00:02:06 - And I looked around and I was like,
this is the best thing I've.] Speaker: 00;02;04;05
1

[00:02:09 - Been to in a really long time.] Speaker: 00;02;06;28
1

[00:02:10 - It's Doug. Everybody.] Speaker: 00;02;09;08
1

[00:02:12 - Except I could probably streak
across the room right now.] Speaker: 00;02;10;07
1

[00:02:15 - Oh, you and George,
it was great. Yeah, yeah, with.] Speaker: 00;02;12;22
1

[00:02:16 - No one would think nothing with me.] Speaker: 00;02;15;11
1

[00:02:19 - Whatever I do is I it's it's whatever it.] Speaker: 00;02;16;17
1

[00:02:19 - And it's doggy long.] Speaker: 00;02;19;04
1

[00:02:20 - But it's a show.] Speaker: 00;02;19;29
1

[00:02:23 - It's supposed to be, it's
supposed to be something that is like,] Speaker: 00;02;20;21
1

[00:02:27 - everybody can enjoy, you know,
not everybody knows who the fighters are.] Speaker: 00;02;23;17
1

[00:02:28 - Not everybody knows.] Speaker: 00;02;27;08
1

[00:02:30 - But, like,
you know, you're going to have a good time] Speaker: 00;02;28;10
1

[00:02:33 - and you're going to be amongst
good people while you're there.] Speaker: 00;02;30;19
1

[00:02:33 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;02;33;00
1

[00:02:36 - It's something that's considered,
like aggressively barbaric.] Speaker: 00;02;33;05
1

[00:02:38 - Yeah. Yeah. That's what somebody is about
entertainment. Like. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;02;36;05
1

[00:02:40 - You want to get the people.] Speaker: 00;02;38;26
1

[00:02:41 - The people deserve
to get their money's worth.] Speaker: 00;02;40;03
1

[00:02:43 - So people are going there. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;02;41;14

1

[00:02:46 - Yeah, if you dug deep behind] Speaker: 00;02;45;03
1

[00:02:50 - the scenes for me is like,
I'm really proud of a boxer athlete.] Speaker: 00;02;46;16
1

[00:02:51 - They are.] Speaker: 00;02;50;10
1

[00:02:53 - They're not a football team.
They're not a soccer.] Speaker: 00;02;51;00

1

[00:03:31 - I don't want to say his name, but he was
telling me he goes back in the 1970s.] Speaker: 00;03;28;00
1

[00:03:33 - There's,
like a big hospital down the street here.] Speaker: 00;03;31;29
1

[00:03:34 - The state hospital.] Speaker: 00;03;33;16
1

[00:03:36 - No, no, no, the early the early one.

[00:03:37 - Okay, okay.] Speaker: 00;03;36;24
1

[00:03:40 - For years and years
ago, recovery people for three bucks.] Speaker: 00;03;37;20
1

[00:03:41 - So he would say that he would] Speaker: 00;03;40;16
1

[00:03:44 - he would roll
up, park his car, hit himself in the knees] Speaker: 00;03;41;24
1

[00:03:48 - with, with, a hammer
so he can go inside and get painkillers.] Speaker: 00;03;44;27
1

1

[00:03:51 - The state hospital. I'll never. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;03;50;03

1

[00:03:55 - Oh. Did they. Really? Yes they did.] Speaker: 00;03;53;28
1

[00:03:59 - So if maybe you guys don't know this,
but like, this area has,] Speaker: 00;03;55;16
1

[00:04:02 - like a bar and a church on every corner
and there's a lot of Irish immigration.] Speaker: 00;03;59;01
1

[00:04:04 - Yeah. Have you noticed this?] Speaker: 00;04;03;00
1

[00:04:07 - Not not to be honest,
but that's why Islanders] Speaker: 00;04;04;25
1

[00:04:08 - you go out on the street in Ireland,
you get] Speaker: 00;04;07;07
1

[00:04:11 - you get four bars in the one street,
like that's the that's the way life like.] Speaker: 00;04;08;18
1

[00:04:14 - But do you guys how old are you guys.] Speaker: 00;04;11;29
1

[00:04:16 - 21 I am, you're 21, 24.] Speaker: 00;04;14;12
1

[00:04:19 - So you both can legally drink
in the United States.] Speaker: 00;04;16;24
1

[00:04:20 - Yeah, but you never would, right?] Speaker: 00;04;19;08
1

[00:04:22 - You would never you would never drink and.] Speaker: 00;04;20;17
1

[00:04:25 - You got to stay away from it like this
or like, say, like we're focused on.] Speaker: 00;04;22;12
1

[00:04:28 - Is. So
is that bad for competitive athletes?] Speaker: 00;04;25;24
1

[00:04:30 - Yeah. Especially it just
it's all about timing too.] Speaker: 00;04;28;24
1

[00:04:34 - Like you have to can have a balance
where you have to enjoy yourself too.] Speaker: 00;04;30;29
1

[00:04:36 - Because we're all human like we all have.] Speaker: 00;04;34;12
1

[00:04:38 - We all have to spend time
with our friends off,] Speaker: 00;04;36;20
1

[00:04:39 - but we just kind of like get in the way.] Speaker: 00;04;38;08
1

[00:04:42 - Like,
you know, when we have a fight, like,] Speaker: 00;04;39;29
1

[00:04:45 - like all men, JP is trained sleep boxing.] Speaker: 00;04;42;07
1

[00:04:46 - That's why they're here.] Speaker: 00;04;45;05
1

[00:04:48 - I don't think. It's
I don't think they're here for the party.] Speaker: 00;04;46;15
1

[00:04:50 - I don't think it's actual drink
that is bad.] Speaker: 00;04;48;15
1

[00:04:52 - I think it's like] Speaker: 00;04;50;28
1

[00:04:55 - getting caught up and going to parties
and stuff and missing training all the.] Speaker: 00;04;52;11
1

[00:04:57 - We want 1% of it.] Speaker: 00;04;55;29
1

[00:04:58 - So does that.] Speaker: 00;04;57;19
1

[00:05:01 - So you remember the movie
The Boxer with Daniel Day Lewis.] Speaker: 00;04;58;06
1

[00:05:02 - Do you ever see that movie?] Speaker: 00;05;01;10
1

[00:05:03 - No. Doug.] Speaker: 00;05;02;04
1

[00:05:05 - You anybody.

1

[00:05:08 - Yeah. It's a great. Movie. After, Netflix.] Speaker: 00;05;05;27
1

[00:05:09 - What's it?] Speaker: 00;05;08;23
1

[00:05:12 - It seems like there's
a huge boxing culture in in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;05;09;11
1

[00:05:13 - Is that. Right?] Speaker: 00;05;12;16
1

[00:05:14 - It's a way of life.] Speaker: 00;05;13;13
1

[00:05:16 - Like it's so ever brought up.] Speaker: 00;05;14;02
1

[00:05:17 - We're brought up.
We're all brought outsiders.] Speaker: 00;05;16;03
1

[00:05:19 - Like we're all aware of this.] Speaker: 00;05;17;14
1

[00:05:21 - Like, especially where me and JP's from.] Speaker: 00;05;19;06
1

[00:05:23 - Like, you have to say, everything
you get in life, you have.] Speaker: 00;05;21;28
1

[00:05:26 - They fight for our like,
and we always feel like we're] Speaker: 00;05;23;16
1

[00:05:28 - we have to fight harder for make sense.] Speaker: 00;05;26;20
1

[00:05:29 - So that's the reason we're here today.] Speaker: 00;05;28;13
1

[00:05:31 - Like because we got that.] Speaker: 00;05;29;29
1

[00:05:34 - We got the I don't want to say dogging us
like, well, we never lay down.] Speaker: 00;05;31;16
1

[00:05:36 - Like if we get beat,
like we're always going to keep fighting.] Speaker: 00;05;34;03
1

[00:05:37 - We always keep showing up. Are you guys.] Speaker: 00;05;36;09
1

[00:05:39 - Both from the same area in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;05;37;15
1

[00:05:41 - And north of. Ireland to the north?] Speaker: 00;05;39;15
1

[00:05:42 - The north, not the south.] Speaker: 00;05;41;10
1

[00:05:45 - So I went there in 2019.] Speaker: 00;05;42;14
1

[00:05:48 - I think we went like right over
the borders at Belfast.] Speaker: 00;05;45;25
1

[00:05:48 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;05;48;15
1

[00:05:50 - Okay.] Speaker: 00;05;49;29
1

[00:05:51 - So I went there.] Speaker: 00;05;50;09
1

[00:05:53 - So we went there for like a half a day] Speaker: 00;05;51;11
1

[00:05:56 - and then we stayed in like we were driving
all around, where do we go?] Speaker: 00;05;53;03
1

[00:05:58 - Like Cork.] Speaker: 00;05;56;11
1

[00:06:00 - And County Mayo. Yeah. Yeah. Yes.] Speaker: 00;05;58;10

the West Coast is beautiful.] Speaker: 00;06;07;21

[00:06:13 - And but there's so much things
that I didn't know] Speaker: 00;06;11;00
1

[00:06:16 - about,
like the history of Ireland and like,] Speaker: 00;06;13;19
1

[00:06:54 - He'll he'll take it around on this carried] Speaker: 00;06;53;06
1

[00:06:57 - a full day
like people are always welcoming.] Speaker: 00;06;54;29
1

[00:06:58 - And that's why you always see even] Speaker: 00;06;57;00
1

[00:07:02 - you look at all the superstars
in boxing like McGregor or whatever.] Speaker: 00;06;58;25
1

[00:07:04 - Yes, I think people always get behind it.] Speaker: 00;07;02;19
1

[00:07:06 - Your people are always supportive.] Speaker: 00;07;04;20
1

[00:07:07 - People always care.] Speaker: 00;07;06;07
1

[00:07:09 - Like that's what that's
what's so great about Ireland.] Speaker: 00;07;07;01
1

[00:07:12 - So what? What do you guys like McGregor?] Speaker: 00;07;09;19
1

[00:07:14 - I'm not like an MMA guy.] Speaker: 00;07;12;25
1

[00:07:17 - Yeah, but I don't know, like,
he seems like.] Speaker: 00;07;14;06

1

[00:07:20 - Yeah. Yeah, I know him. Okay.] Speaker: 00;07;19;04
1

[00:07:23 - I don't like Post Malone's music, but
I think Post Malone is a pretty cool dude.] Speaker: 00;07;20;10
1

[00:07:24 - I guess you got it.] Speaker: 00;07;23;28
1

[00:07:25 - You know what I mean?] Speaker: 00;07;24;21
1

[00:07:27 - So is like, how do you guys view?] Speaker: 00;07;25;08
1

[00:07:30 - Do you guys view MMA and boxing
as some sort of.] Speaker: 00;07;27;21
1

[00:07:31 - Like like.] Speaker: 00;07;31;11
1

[00:07:34 - Is there is there is
are they like the same clubs or.] Speaker: 00;07;31;25
1

[00:07:37 - Well, I don't really know who I am.] Speaker: 00;07;35;21
1

[00:07:38 - Clubs really.] Speaker: 00;07;37;07
1

[00:07:41 - Like I've never been the one but] Speaker: 00;07;38;05
1

[00:07:45 - like where the kind of like the same
type of sport, if you know what I mean.] Speaker: 00;07;42;01
1

[00:07:48 - Like just
they're doing something different.] Speaker: 00;07;45;08
1

[00:07:50 - So it's like it's just.] Speaker: 00;07;49;08
1

[00:07:51 - Like beating the shit out of each other.] Speaker: 00;07;50;01
1

[00:07:53 - So it's like similar, like, yeah.] Speaker: 00;07;51;23
1

[00:07:55 - Boxing's massive and I don't know,
I feel like] Speaker: 00;07;53;23
1

[00:07:57 - boxing is a lot bigger than enemy
like Amazon.] Speaker: 00;07;55;16
1

[00:07:59 - We talking about the past
while about boxing's.] Speaker: 00;07;57;21
1

[00:08:03 - But as the most successful Olympic sport
in Ireland the most.] Speaker: 00;07;59;26
1

[00:08:06 - Successful Olympic sport.
But oh I didn't know that okay.] Speaker: 00;08;03;26
1

[00:08:09 - That's top level like so that's
why it's so hard to break through because] Speaker: 00;08;06;14
1

[00:08:14 - especially I mean JP's we had like 145
JP fights and I thought about 54 addicts] Speaker: 00;08;09;22
1

[00:08:17 - who were fighting at the
the hardest weight class in boxing.] Speaker: 00;08;14;00
1

[00:08:17 - And the best is.] Speaker: 00;08;17;07
1

[00:08:20 - That because most people
are can be around that way.] Speaker: 00;08;17;26
1

[00:08:21 - Yeah. Okay.] Speaker: 00;08;20;02
1

[00:08:22 - It like to.] Speaker: 00;08;21;09
1

[00:08:24 - Once I kind of the other side as well.] Speaker: 00;08;22;17
1

[00:08:26 - Like like] Speaker: 00;08;24;15
1

[00:08:29 - it's five or you get like a loads of
makes it super heavyweights and stuff.] Speaker: 00;08;26;01
1

[00:08:31 - So everyone's kind of round that with.] Speaker: 00;08;29;11
1

[00:08:31 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;08;31;12
1

[00:08:33 - You don't want to be like fighting the 250
pound.] Speaker: 00;08;31;17
1

[00:08:36 - Guy in I mean there is a difference.] Speaker: 00;08;33;25
1

[00:08:37 - Those punches are different right?] Speaker: 00;08;36;06
1

[00:08:39 - Yes, yes. Sledgehammers.] Speaker: 00;08;37;13
1

[00:08:42 - Do you ever get hit by a guy like that?
Was that big?] Speaker: 00;08;39;28
1

[00:08:43 - Like even in a sparring or something?] Speaker: 00;08;42;02
1

[00:08:45 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;08;44;27
1

[00:08:46 - Yeah. Actually help you? Yeah.] Speaker: 00;08;45;12
1

[00:08:48 - See, I'm, like, afraid to get hit.] Speaker: 00;08;46;26
1

[00:08:50 - That's sweet. Yeah. That's sweet.
So I'll tell you.] Speaker: 00;08;48;20
1

[00:08:53 - You remember your first hit. Do
you remember the first time you got hit?] Speaker: 00;08;50;23
1

[00:08:54 - Not the first time.] Speaker: 00;08;53;10
1

[00:08:56 - I go helpless and boxing solve
any kind of like a sick.] Speaker: 00;08;54;00
1

[00:08:59 - So I go into the shower
and try not to come out wet like you go.] Speaker: 00;08;56;24
1

[00:09:02 - You go to a box,
you're going to get hit like this] Speaker: 00;09;01;00
1

[00:09:05 - is part of the game.] Speaker: 00;09;02;25
1

[00:09:07 - I've never heard that I didn't either.] Speaker: 00;09;05;26
1

[00:09:08 - I've never heard that.] Speaker: 00;09;07;22
1

[00:09:09 - Well, it's.] Speaker: 00;09;08;27
1

[00:09:11 - It's, you know, to get behind the scenes] Speaker: 00;09;09;08
1

[00:09:12 - a little bit.
When I first met Carl last year] Speaker: 00;09;11;01
1

[00:09:14 - and we interviewed him
for the scholarship program.] Speaker: 00;09;12;23
1

[00:09:18 - Wow. He fit every check mark where
we had a meeting with all the sponsors.] Speaker: 00;09;14;28
1

[00:09:20 - So how are you trying.
How are you trying to figure that out?] Speaker: 00;09;18;14
1

[00:09:23 - Just on his politeness.] Speaker: 00;09;20;25
1

[00:09:23 - How much did I.] Speaker: 00;09;23;00
1

[00:09:24 - We're not going to bring him] Speaker: 00;09;23;28
1

[00:09:27 - over to my lake house
and have him just party up and say, hey,] Speaker: 00;09;24;19
1

[00:09:29 - thanks for the trip here.] Speaker: 00;09;27;21
1

[00:09:30 - We really had to take a dive.] Speaker: 00;09;29;02
1

[00:09:32 - In his personal life,
we did a lot of history.] Speaker: 00;09;30;12
1

[00:09:36 - Looking back on it before, when he left,
we did a lot out there with social media,] Speaker: 00;09;32;21
1

[00:09:37 - you know, and.] Speaker: 00;09;36;25
1

[00:09:40 - They checking your social.
Everything. Everything.] Speaker: 00;09;37;26
1

[00:09:43 - A lot of interviews with him
and, like, wow, he's the real deal.] Speaker: 00;09;40;13
1

[00:09:46 - This kid is the real lives. Eat and sleep.] Speaker: 00;09;44;17
1

[00:09:48 - You don't have to worry about.] Speaker: 00;09;46;28
1

[00:09:50 - Like, relationships
aren't a big topic with us.] Speaker: 00;09;48;02
1

[00:09:52 - Have a lot of fighters
I've had through the years,] Speaker: 00;09;50;08
1

[00:09:55 - you know, relationships, wanting to have
children, like, get a little bit older.] Speaker: 00;09;52;02
1

[00:09:55 - Sure, sure.] Speaker: 00;09;55;08
1

[00:09:57 - And the girl comes in involved
in everything like that and that.] Speaker: 00;09;55;28
1

[00:09:59 - Have we had to talk about,
you know, where he's at.] Speaker: 00;09;57;28
1

[00:10:03 - And, he just said to himself,
you know, he told us that the] Speaker: 00;09;59;23
1

[00:10:05 - the line that stuck with me, the most is] Speaker: 00;10;04;01
1

[00:10:08 - he wants to do it for his country,
and he wants to do it for dairy,] Speaker: 00;10;05;17
1

[00:10:12 - to have other fighters come over
to Scranton and over to Long Productions,] Speaker: 00;10;08;15
1

[00:10:17 - to set the pathway to go to turn pro,
because we could announce on here] Speaker: 00;10;12;12
1

[00:10:18 - a little bit, hey, you know.] Speaker: 00;10;17;02
1

[00:10:21 - Oh, breaking news, breaking news.] Speaker: 00;10;18;04
1

[00:10:22 - Yeah, he will he will.] Speaker: 00;10;21;13
1

[00:10:24 - Be turning pro very, very soon.] Speaker: 00;10;22;12
1

[00:10:24 - Are you really.] Speaker: 00;10;24;03
1

[00:10:27 - Yes. This could possibly
be his last sandwich] Speaker: 00;10;24;26
1

[00:10:28 - or fight on November 1st next week.] Speaker: 00;10;27;09
1

[00:10:30 - So what does that mean for a boxer.] Speaker: 00;10;28;25
1

[00:10:32 - Like when you
when like when you take that.] Speaker: 00;10;30;25
1

[00:10:34 - When you take that move.] Speaker: 00;10;32;20
1

[00:10:36 - It's like, oh. We'll get to you.] Speaker: 00;10;34;19
1

[00:10:39 - That's] Speaker: 00;10;38;12
1

[00:10:40 - back.] Speaker: 00;10;39;24
1

[00:10:42 - But before before we go into that,
that's a great day.] Speaker: 00;10;40;13
1

[00:10:43 - Great question.] Speaker: 00;10;42;28
1

[00:10:47 - That took a lot of digesting
with a fighter and stuff like that.] Speaker: 00;10;43;21
1

[00:10:48 - Before we get.] Speaker: 00;10;47;16
1

[00:10:50 - To that, because I'm ignorant,
I don't know anything about fit.] Speaker: 00;10;48;04
1

[00:10:51 - The build for that.] Speaker: 00;10;50;04
1

[00:10:55 - That's when I went over and,
about a month ago, I was to world] Speaker: 00;10;51;05
1

[00:10:59 - Championship fight in Belfast,
and I kept hearing his name all over it.] Speaker: 00;10;55;06
1

[00:11:01 - The toughest kid he's got style.] Speaker: 00;10;59;24
1

[00:11:03 - And his technique is more technique.] Speaker: 00;11;01;19
1

[00:11:05 - This guy just wants to come
and take the head off. Watch.] Speaker: 00;11;03;05
1

[00:11:06 - I'll push you out of the way.] Speaker: 00;11;05;07
1

[00:11:10 - Let's just go toe to toe with JP
and everybody everywhere you go.] Speaker: 00;11;06;04
1

[00:11:11 - You mentioned a JP.] Speaker: 00;11;10;06
1

[00:11:13 - JP just fought in Hungary last week.] Speaker: 00;11;11;12
1

[00:11:15 - And he did you not in England.
The champion of England.] Speaker: 00;11;13;02
1

[00:11:16 - The best to England, the best of Hungary.] Speaker: 00;11;15;08
1

[00:11:19 - They flew into Ireland to fight him
and he's winning win.] Speaker: 00;11;16;22
1

[00:11:21 - And he goes
you got to meet this kid. So it's flipped.] Speaker: 00;11;19;03
1

[00:11:24 - We're we're in Belfast on the worst
section, the worst street.] Speaker: 00;11;21;22
1

[00:11:28 - And there's a kid on a bicycle in the
pouring rain with a hood up and car goes.] Speaker: 00;11;24;21
1

[00:11:30 - It's JP on the bicycle.] Speaker: 00;11;28;10
1

[00:11:31 - I hopped out of the car.] Speaker: 00;11;30;14
1

[00:11:33 - They said,
can I interview you here at the car?] Speaker: 00;11;31;16
1

[00:11:35 - At the bumper on the side? Yeah.] Speaker: 00;11;33;25
1

[00:11:38 - And I interviewed him and I said,
you're going to come to America.] Speaker: 00;11;35;20
1

[00:11:39 - I'll call you next week.] Speaker: 00;11;38;23
1

[00:11:41 - And he's sitting right here with us now.] Speaker: 00;11;39;27
1

[00:11:43 - So is that unexpected or was that.] Speaker: 00;11;41;10
1

[00:11:47 - Shock to see you in America,
even even current as well?] Speaker: 00;11;43;05
1

[00:11:49 - It was more like I was like,
what's going on?] Speaker: 00;11;47;15
1

[00:11:50 - Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;11;49;21
1

[00:11:54 - Who's this strange American jumping out of
vehicles, asking me to go to America?] Speaker: 00;11;50;09
1

[00:11:55 - I was like, what the fuck] Speaker: 00;11;54;20
1

[00:12:01 - do? Everybody in America be like, yeah,
that's Doug.] Speaker: 00;11;56;21
1

[00:12:03 - Yeah, that's that. Everybody's
gran's like, yeah, that's Doug.] Speaker: 00;12;01;04
1

[00:12:03 - That makes sense.] Speaker: 00;12;03;09
1

[00:12:07 - And car is like kind of he's
my go to guy over there.] Speaker: 00;12;03;27
1

[00:12:08 - Let's be honest,
there's a lot of pressure on him.] Speaker: 00;12;07;10
1

[00:12:11 - I mean there's so much on him right now.
Of course the guy.] Speaker: 00;12;08;28
1

[00:12:15 - But he is really, really in his heart
and wants to say he goes, Doug,] Speaker: 00;12;11;19
1

[00:12:17 - I like to bring somebody over someday.] Speaker: 00;12;15;24
1

[00:12:19 - And then we kept mentioning
he never thought] Speaker: 00;12;17;20
1

[00:12:23 - we'd be sitting here tonight, a couple
weeks later and having another person.] Speaker: 00;12;19;15
1

[00:12:26 - Well, because. You made it happen.
I, you know, I move like like.] Speaker: 00;12;23;05
1

[00:12:27 - Yes. It's not stopping,
you know, we got to go.] Speaker: 00;12;26;03
1

[00:12:30 - It's got to happen today, not yesterday.
So what is. It?] Speaker: 00;12;27;25
1

[00:12:34 - So when when you do make the jump
from amateur to professional,] Speaker: 00;12;30;01
1

[00:12:36 - what is that like.
Is there added pressure. More money.] Speaker: 00;12;34;09
1

[00:12:37 - What does that mean?] Speaker: 00;12;36;15
1

[00:12:39 - I'm going to I'm going to
I don't more close conversation.] Speaker: 00;12;37;06
1

[00:12:41 - But would you. Say smaller gloves.] Speaker: 00;12;39;09
1

[00:12:42 - Is that true. Yes or no.] Speaker: 00;12;41;05
1

[00:12:44 - It's more so. It hurts more. Damage.] Speaker: 00;12;42;19
1

[00:12:48 - But why does JP he's going to hold off
on turning pro and why is his car?] Speaker: 00;12;44;23
1

[00:12:50 - Feels as though he won every.] Speaker: 00;12;48;28
1

[00:12:52 - Now let's say he won every.] Speaker: 00;12;50;24
1

[00:12:54 - But he he did all the elite heat.] Speaker: 00;12;52;01
1

[00:12:58 - He in his heart
he feels like he emptied the chest.] Speaker: 00;12;54;14
1

[00:12:59 - Now he's done the amateur right.] Speaker: 00;12;58;11
1

[00:13:03 - He has the Commonwealth
Games is a mini Olympics coming up.] Speaker: 00;12;59;24
1

[00:13:04 - And he's going to go back into that.] Speaker: 00;13;03;03
1

[00:13:06 - In. Pay or.] Speaker: 00;13;04;28
1

[00:13:07 - No mini Olympics in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;13;06;08
1

[00:13:10 - Oh okay. Commonwealth
they call that not Commonwealth.] Speaker: 00;13;07;25
1

[00:13:12 - Our Commonwealth I'm sorry.] Speaker: 00;13;10;04
1

[00:13:13 - I'm a dumb American.] Speaker: 00;13;12;03
1

[00:13:15 - We'll go back
now. I'm going to shut up on that.] Speaker: 00;13;13;14
1

[00:13:18 - But you can take it from there
on. It's it that our.] Speaker: 00;13;15;14
1

[00:13:20 - City will not like the like.] Speaker: 00;13;18;12
1

[00:13:24 - My life won't change in the ways and
train and stuff because I'm still amateur.] Speaker: 00;13;20;09
1

[00:13:25 - Professional doesn't matter to me.] Speaker: 00;13;24;26
1

[00:13:28 - I train hard every day. Like boxing
is my life. It's just a difference.] Speaker: 00;13;25;24
1

[00:13:32 - I know there's there's money involved.] Speaker: 00;13;28;12
1

[00:13:33 - There's.] Speaker: 00;13;32;10
1

[00:13:36 - So there's no money involved. An amateur.] Speaker: 00;13;33;14
1

[00:13:37 - No money involved, an amateur.] Speaker: 00;13;36;00
1

[00:13:41 - But it's it's it allows me to elevate
on the bigger platform.] Speaker: 00;13;37;15
1

[00:13:44 - So especially where I'm come from,
where I come from, a deity] Speaker: 00;13;41;01
1

[00:13:48 - like where JP is in Belfast, like there's
a lot of professional fighters, but under] Speaker: 00;13;45;01
1

[00:13:51 - said,
there's just not that much professional.] Speaker: 00;13;49;00
1

[00:13:54 - Now, how far away is Derry from Belfast?
About an hour and a half.] Speaker: 00;13;51;09
1

[00:13:56 - Yeah. Down windy roads are like a.] Speaker: 00;13;54;01
1

[00:13:59 - See what I love in
Derry is like the very north of Ireland.] Speaker: 00;13;57;19
1

[00:14:01 - So it's just like we're.] Speaker: 00;13;59;28
1

[00:14:04 - Game of Thrones was shot.
Yeah, it's actually pretty close.] Speaker: 00;14;01;16
1

[00:14:10 - Yeah. Yeah, it's just,] Speaker: 00;14;08;12
1

[00:14:11 - not a lot of opportunity, like.] Speaker: 00;14;10;12
1

[00:14:15 - Like where I come from is like a proper
good people.] Speaker: 00;14;11;28
1

[00:14:18 - People work hard, but people just haven't
got the opportunity in life.] Speaker: 00;14;15;21
1

[00:14:22 - And that's why I'm so grateful for dog

1

[00:14:23 - Give me an opportunity.] Speaker: 00;14;22;14

and like the people where I come from] Speaker: 00;14;23;05
1

[00:14:27 - are good people.] Speaker: 00;14;27;03
1

[00:14:30 - And you know, I'm setting a real path.] Speaker: 00;14;27;20
1

[00:14:33 - I'm setting them up

1

[00:14:35 - So I want to get

1

[00:14:36 - Like that's something big for me.] Speaker: 00;14;35;10
1

[00:14:40 - Like, because I'm really proud
of where I come from and I want to be.] Speaker: 00;14;36;22
1

[00:14:42 - I know there's even I,
I still an amateur, like] Speaker: 00;14;40;18
1

[00:14:44 - there's a lot of kids who look up to me.] Speaker: 00;14;42;26
1

[00:14:47 - So I just want to keep inspiring as well.] Speaker: 00;14;44;17
1

[00:14:48 - Is that a lot of pressure?] Speaker: 00;14;47;00
1

[00:14:49 - Yeah, definitely. It's a lot of pressure.] Speaker: 00;14;48;15
1

[00:14:51 - Like there's no.] Speaker: 00;14;49;18
1

[00:14:52 - Like you can't step out of line.] Speaker: 00;14;51;14
1

[00:14:54 - No, I can't step out of line.] Speaker: 00;14;52;26
1

[00:14:56 - But in practice for next week,
like there's a lot of pressure.] Speaker: 00;14;54;03
1

[00:15:01 - Like even just seeing my face
on the billboards and but the thing yo.] Speaker: 00;14;56;28
1

[00:15:03 - Yo, did. You expect
they weren't going to be.] Speaker: 00;15;01;12
1

[00:15:06 - You're working with Doug.
So I don't know, like.] Speaker: 00;15;03;13
1

[00:15:08 - You make something happen, but it's,] Speaker: 00;15;06;00
1

[00:15:10 - This is where I perform.] Speaker: 00;15;09;17
1

[00:15:12 - Like, you look at all the best athletes
they perform.] Speaker: 00;15;10;14
1

[00:15:15 - And when the weights on their back, like,
whenever the pressure is on them.] Speaker: 00;15;12;13
1

[00:15:18 - And I'm only 21 and like you,
you're at the last show like you saw.] Speaker: 00;15;15;07
1

[00:15:19 - I got.] Speaker: 00;15;18;23
1

[00:15:21 - I love it like I thrive on that.] Speaker: 00;15;19;20
1

[00:15:22 - I thrive off of everything. Like.] Speaker: 00;15;21;05
1

[00:15:27 - So another thing is tell you, like behind
the scenes where a lot of hard work goes,] Speaker: 00;15;22;17
1

[00:15:28 - I like the part.] Speaker: 00;15;27;12
1

[00:15:31 - The fight is actually the part
I enjoy because I know in day] Speaker: 00;15;28;09
1

[00:15:35 - I'm pushing myself like, well, I tell you,
I push myself hard, like in the gym.] Speaker: 00;15;31;27
1

[00:15:36 - Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;15;35;19
1

[00:15:40 - So that's like the hard part is behind
the scenes, the fights, enjoyable part.] Speaker: 00;15;36;03
1

[00:15:41 - So that's what I enjoy.] Speaker: 00;15;40;01
1

[00:15:44 - Like I say, you only see
my face is just like.] Speaker: 00;15;41;12
1

[00:15:44 - Like in the zone.] Speaker: 00;15;44;03
1

[00:15:48 - There's one like, it's
just like I have, like a inside a box,] Speaker: 00;15;44;22
1

[00:15:50 - and I'm like this, like, smiley,
happy person.] Speaker: 00;15;48;05
1

[00:15:51 - But once I on there.] Speaker: 00;15;50;03
1

[00:15:53 - So it's like like
and how that change in character] Speaker: 00;15;51;05
1

[00:15:56 - and it is kill or be killed down there
like you know.] Speaker: 00;15;53;28
1

[00:15:58 - Well, I mean, I mean, think
about like the Romans, it's like,] Speaker: 00;15;56;07
1

[00:16:00 - how would you feel
if the gladiator got in the ring?] Speaker: 00;15;58;15
1

[00:16:02 - And he's just he's just
playing to the like, you know what I mean?] Speaker: 00;16;00;13
1

[00:16:05 - Like, I'm just. I'm just distracted.
Not a big deal. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;16;02;24
1

[00:16:07 - We're working on their site. It's
not a game of football.] Speaker: 00;16;05;10
1

[00:16:10 - Like somebody is trying to take
my head off my shoulders. Right.] Speaker: 00;16;07;25
1

[00:16:11 - So that's the way it is.] Speaker: 00;16;10;11
1

[00:16:12 - You have to say, you know, we know he's.] Speaker: 00;16;11;02
1

[00:16:15 - He's like trying to take your job as well.] Speaker: 00;16;12;27
1

[00:16:16 - So that's the way I see it.] Speaker: 00;16;15;00
1

[00:16:18 - Like he's trying to take everything.
Your house.] Speaker: 00;16;16;01
1

[00:16:19 - Really. That's hot.] Speaker: 00;16;18;09
1

[00:16:21 - So that's like that's your mindset
when you go in there.] Speaker: 00;16;19;07
1

[00:16:23 - Yeah. That's why I be like aggressive.] Speaker: 00;16;21;15
1

[00:16:25 - Like I'm a sweet guy at the ring.] Speaker: 00;16;23;12
1

[00:16:27 - But once you're like,
how you're all saying, like,] Speaker: 00;16;25;09
1

[00:16:28 - I can kick your ass, but I'm pretty.] Speaker: 00;16;27;06
1

[00:16:30 - I'm real sweet
if I don't have to. Yeah, this.] Speaker: 00;16;28;18
1

[00:16:35 - And as soon as it goes you up the change
your whole image in a way.] Speaker: 00;16;30;20
1

[00:16:36 - So were you, like aggressive?] Speaker: 00;16;35;23
1

[00:16:38 - Were you like, when you were growing up?] Speaker: 00;16;36;24
1

[00:16:41 - Did you have to, like,
fight on the streets or.] Speaker: 00;16;38;27
1

[00:16:41 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;16;41;04
1

[00:16:44 - How did you see fit in the streets,
especially where I'm from?] Speaker: 00;16;41;12
1

[00:16:46 - Like it's just a normal thing.] Speaker: 00;16;44;00
1

[00:16:47 - Yeah. People like that.] Speaker: 00;16;46;19
1

[00:16:49 - People around here don't get that.] Speaker: 00;16;47;12
1

[00:16:49 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;16;49;01
1

[00:16:52 - Just like my area is like,
prison Catholics.] Speaker: 00;16;49;09
1

[00:16:54 - So growing up.] Speaker: 00;16;53;00
1

[00:16:56 - So it's Protestants and Catholics, right?
Yeah. Yeah. Okay.] Speaker: 00;16;54;08
1

[00:16:59 - What's the I. I'm
an idiot. What's the difference?] Speaker: 00;16;56;28
1

[00:17:02 - So sudden?] Speaker: 00;17;01;09
1

[00:17:05 - They believe something,
and we believe the opposite.] Speaker: 00;17;02;22
1

[00:17:07 - Basically, it's just everybody.] Speaker: 00;17;05;16
1

[00:17:09 - And everybody gets upset
with each other about that.] Speaker: 00;17;07;02
1

[00:17:11 - Yeah. Okay. There's there's there's more.] Speaker: 00;17;09;03
1

[00:17:11 - There's more to it.] Speaker: 00;17;11;10
1

[00:17:14 - But that's it's a fight.] Speaker: 00;17;11;29
1

[00:17:16 - There's more. To it. But it's,] Speaker: 00;17;14;00
1

[00:17:19 - But growing up as a kid,
like you're right.] Speaker: 00;17;16;22
1

[00:17:23 - And stuff like you,
the rats, there's, there's like big fights] Speaker: 00;17;19;11
1

[00:17:25 - going on and stuff,
and you're just brought up.] Speaker: 00;17;23;08
1

[00:17:26 - You're just brought of it. So. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;17;25;03
1

[00:17:28 - So it's like normal inside it. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;17;26;28
1

[00:17:30 - It doesn't just grow out of it,
you know? You mean.] Speaker: 00;17;28;14
1

[00:17:34 - But I guess Americans
are going to be like, what is this shit?] Speaker: 00;17;30;08
1

[00:17:35 - What's going on?] Speaker: 00;17;34;19
1

[00:17:37 - Why are these people like this? Like,
well, do you think.] Speaker: 00;17;35;06
1

[00:17:39 - It makes you think stuff like
that makes you stronger, though?] Speaker: 00;17;37;05
1

[00:17:42 - I'm not really sure.] Speaker: 00;17;41;16
1

[00:17:45 - Like, it's just just a way
I've been, like, brought up and stuff.] Speaker: 00;17;42;08
1

[00:17:48 - So it's just the way it is,
if you know what I mean.] Speaker: 00;17;45;07
1

[00:17:49 - Like. Yeah, I think I.] Speaker: 00;17;48;04
1

[00:17:51 - Think like it makes me stronger
in the way of like,] Speaker: 00;17;49;10
1

[00:17:55 - I want to I want to do it, do something
like do boxing or do something.] Speaker: 00;17;51;16
1

[00:17:57 - I stay out about stuff.] Speaker: 00;17;55;22
1

[00:18:00 - So it's like, so it's like,] Speaker: 00;17;57;27
1

[00:18:02 - I think once this is why I was telling
you, like, I don't like getting hit.] Speaker: 00;18;00;09
1

[00:18:05 - I've never like, I've only got hit twice
then like, that knocked me out.] Speaker: 00;18;02;28
1

[00:18:07 - I was in a bar.] Speaker: 00;18;05;28
1

[00:18:11 - But I think, like, people who can
who can get hit and keep going] Speaker: 00;18;07;26
1

[00:18:15 - is, is a strength
that like a lot of people don't have.] Speaker: 00;18;12;13
1

[00:18:17 - Does that make sense?
Yeah. Yeah, definitely.] Speaker: 00;18;15;28

[00:18:19 - Like where you get
where you get in a situation.] Speaker: 00;18;17;24

[00:18:28 - Well it makes it. There's a lot of people
like I don't ever want to get hit.] Speaker: 00;18;26;02
1

[00:18:30 - And then there's people like,

do you realize your hotel bill is $4,600?] Speaker: 00;20;59;14
1

[00:21:03 - I said, oh God.] Speaker: 00;21;02;22
1

[00:21:06 - I said, we better be careful next year.] Speaker: 00;21;03;25
1

[00:21:10 - So this year we kind of scaled it down,
you know?] Speaker: 00;21;07;18
1

[00:21:12 - But, yeah,
there won't be as many young kids.] Speaker: 00;21;10;03
1

[00:21:15 - I think the youngest we have is 15.] Speaker: 00;21;12;20
1

[00:21:17 - So that'll be
that'll be fighting November 1st.] Speaker: 00;21;15;21
1

[00:21:19 - November 1st. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;21;17;20
1

[00:21:20 - You know, let go off with that.] Speaker: 00;21;19;06
1

[00:21:25 - That's that's a big point you just made
is, the 15 year old is 200 pounds.] Speaker: 00;21;20;19
1

[00:21:28 - He's got over 40 fights. He's only 15.] Speaker: 00;21;25;20
1

[00:21:31 - And there's nobody in new Jersey,
nobody in New York City.] Speaker: 00;21;28;27
1

[00:21:34 - We have been trying to match this kid up
for four and a half months.] Speaker: 00;21;31;29
1

[00:21:36 - We called Ireland and said, look at we do.] Speaker: 00;21;34;29
1

[00:21:40 - We have somebody from Kansas City
that's at John Brown's] Speaker: 00;21;36;25

1

[00:21:49 - I'm like, for an amateur show, we're going
to fly a kid in from Kansas City.] Speaker: 00;21;46;10

[00:21:53 - So Ireland accepted the bill
and they're flying the kid in] Speaker: 00;21;50;01

1

[00:22:24 - They he's been beating everybody to 167.] Speaker: 00;22;21;11
1

[00:22:26 - Yeah. But he's only 15.] Speaker: 00;22;24;14
1

[00:22:27 - Why would you spend the money though.] Speaker: 00;22;26;05
1

[00:22:28 - He's really. Six seven.] Speaker: 00;22;27;18
1

[00:22:30 - Yeah. He's he's most they're like.] Speaker: 00;22;28;21
1

[00:22:32 - Let me just say this I get this.] Speaker: 00;22;30;23
1

[00:22:37 - Ha I never flew in a guy for an amateur
show from Kansas City recently.] Speaker: 00;22;32;06
1

[00:22:38 - I'd sit here talk professional.] Speaker: 00;22;37;04
1

[00:22:41 - Yeah yeah yeah. The flight tickets,
we got to get meals.] Speaker: 00;22;38;29
1

[00:22:42 - We got to have transportation.] Speaker: 00;22;41;05
1

[00:22:45 - We want to come to a vote airport,
not Philly airport.] Speaker: 00;22;42;19
1

[00:22:48 - So when you got to match.
You got to match him up though, right?] Speaker: 00;22;45;10
1

[00:22:49 - So this is what this is.] Speaker: 00;22;48;08
1

[00:22:51 - This kid from Kansas City is probably six.] Speaker: 00;22;49;09
1

[00:22:53 - It's like the mountain. And,
who's his brother?] Speaker: 00;22;51;13
1

[00:22:55 - Yeah, it's. Yeah, it's like.] Speaker: 00;22;53;26
1

[00:22:57 - I just never dreamt that in Ireland] Speaker: 00;22;55;22
1

[00:23:00 - splitting the airline
tickets, I definitely not.] Speaker: 00;22;57;18
1

[00:23:02 - Yeah. That's awesome. The public wins.] Speaker: 00;23;00;16
1

[00:23:03 - Everybody wins.] Speaker: 00;23;02;27
1

[00:23:05 - But how do I tell the public
and go out there to see.] Speaker: 00;23;03;20
1

[00:23:06 - Whoa!] Speaker: 00;23;05;22
1

[00:23:09 - Between JP's co-main event? Kaha.] Speaker: 00;23;06;24
1

[00:23:13 - You know, these kids have hundreds
of fights now you have a 15 year old and.] Speaker: 00;23;09;18
1

[00:23:15 - Some sort of monster that no one's ever
heard. Him.] Speaker: 00;23;13;13
1

[00:23:17 - Yeah, he's the big champion.] Speaker: 00;23;15;20
1

[00:23:19 - The up and coming kid.
They think he's going to.] Speaker: 00;23;17;14
1

[00:23:21 - They're they're spending money
because they want him to fight] Speaker: 00;23;19;12
1

[00:23:24 - internationally, get recognized
and getting recognized on my show] Speaker: 00;23;21;13
1

[00:23:25 - for international back in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;23;24;17
1

[00:23:27 - Everybody's following this in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;23;25;26
1

[00:23:29 - I mean I'm the hot subject right now.] Speaker: 00;23;27;27
1

[00:23:31 - Nothing against me,
but I'm just saying I'm the hottest.] Speaker: 00;23;29;19
1

[00:23:32 - My fourth year.] Speaker: 00;23;31;18
1

[00:23:36 - But ask these guys, yeah,
I'm getting calls every day from fighters] Speaker: 00;23;32;21
1

[00:23:38 - all over Ireland to come here,
but I can't please everybody.] Speaker: 00;23;36;11
1

[00:23:40 - So your production is phenomenal.] Speaker: 00;23;38;25
1

[00:23:42 - Thank you. Right in my opinion.] Speaker: 00;23;40;14
1

[00:23:44 - And and yeah.] Speaker: 00;23;42;18
1

[00:23:47 - Is there a way for you to like broadcast
November 1st] Speaker: 00;23;44;06
1

[00:23:49 - or are you thinking about it
to like the people in Ireland?] Speaker: 00;23;47;27
1

[00:23:53 - Yeah, I, I'm getting to that point
that we're trying to but I don't] Speaker: 00;23;49;29
1

[00:23:56 - I have a company
that I don't like the quality their work] Speaker: 00;23;53;15
1

[00:24:00 - okay for and I don't want to have like
production says, high quality everything.] Speaker: 00;23;56;20
1

[00:24:01 - I guess it does.] Speaker: 00;24;00;28
1

[00:24:03 - Sure. That, the quality is there.] Speaker: 00;24;01;15
1

[00:24:05 - I don't want it to
look not the best quality.] Speaker: 00;24;03;26
1

[00:24:08 - So I've been working with
some different companies to live stream.] Speaker: 00;24;05;28
1

[00:24:09 - Right.] Speaker: 00;24;09;05
1

[00:24:10 - Right now, I think.] Speaker: 00;24;09;14
1

[00:24:13 - I, I think, I think you should
sell tickets to that too.] Speaker: 00;24;10;06
1

[00:24:15 - I think there's got to be some way
for, like,] Speaker: 00;24;13;19
1

[00:24:18 - some sort of, like streaming, like $10
you can watch. Yes.] Speaker: 00;24;15;08
1

[00:24:21 - Especially everybody in Ireland
is going to be watching it. Totally.] Speaker: 00;24;18;19
1

[00:24:21 - I think it's going.] Speaker: 00;24;21;03
1

[00:24:23 - To be even though it's 3:00 in the morning
a little bit.] Speaker: 00;24;21;21
1

[00:24:24 - The host.] Speaker: 00;24;23;16
1

[00:24:26 - Oh, God. They'll be up in the drink.] Speaker: 00;24;24;22
1

[00:24:28 - They'll be, Yeah.] Speaker: 00;24;26;29
1

[00:24:30 - So we'll get back to you boys.] Speaker: 00;24;28;15
1

[00:24:32 - I like their questions
with these in-depth guys.] Speaker: 00;24;30;00
1

[00:24:34 - There's a
there's some great history with them both.] Speaker: 00;24;32;11
1

[00:24:37 - So you're that you're peeling away
the onion here with these two guys.] Speaker: 00;24;34;20
1

[00:24:39 - But there's some history,
especially in the car.] Speaker: 00;24;37;15
1

[00:24:42 - A lot of history behind him growing up
there. He's been all over the world.] Speaker: 00;24;39;09
1

[00:24:43 - So maybe it can.] Speaker: 00;24;42;05
1

[00:24:45 - What is that in a way
a little bit. As Doug tells me what to do.] Speaker: 00;24;43;14
1

[00:24:48 - What does that mean? Oh, there.
Would you inside. No, no, I mean.] Speaker: 00;24;45;29
1

[00:24:49 - You mean competing.] Speaker: 00;24;48;17
1

[00:24:52 - Yes. Yeah, yeah. What's your history.] Speaker: 00;24;49;24
1

[00:24:52 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;24;52;11
1

[00:24:57 - So I actually I want my first
national title whenever I was 13 years old] Speaker: 00;24;52;17
1

[00:24:58 - at schoolboy level.] Speaker: 00;24;57;24
1

[00:25:01 - So I was like the best in the country
when the Europeans.] Speaker: 00;24;58;21
1

[00:25:02 - Really? Yeah.] Speaker: 00;25;01;12
1

[00:25:04 - I'm not saying that like to doubt you.] Speaker: 00;25;02;24
1

[00:25:06 - I'm just like, that's an accomplishment
for a 13 year old. 13 guys.] Speaker: 00;25;04;07
1

[00:25:10 - Best in the country
where the Europeans won prelims] Speaker: 00;25;06;23
1

[00:25:13 - one last 16 one quarter finals,
got beat in the semifinal against Russia.] Speaker: 00;25;10;10
1

[00:25:16 - So I was like ranked number
three in Europe and I was 13.] Speaker: 00;25;13;22
1

[00:25:17 - Poland.] Speaker: 00;25;16;11
1

[00:25:21 - I don't know what happened,
but from like 14 to I was by 19] Speaker: 00;25;17;04
1

[00:25:23 - I don't want much like.] Speaker: 00;25;22;06
1

[00:25:25 - So I went from being] Speaker: 00;25;23;15
1

[00:25:28 - like having such a high point as a kid
and then my life is just not my life.] Speaker: 00;25;25;00
1

[00:25:32 - But my boxing was just like,
I couldn't win regional titles.] Speaker: 00;25;28;24
1

[00:25:34 - And, you know, I mean, I
so I went from being] Speaker: 00;25;32;03
1

[00:25:37 - right up at the very top in Europe to
I couldn't want to read] Speaker: 00;25;34;24
1

[00:25:41 - the original title, but for me,
I always stay consistent with it.] Speaker: 00;25;37;16
1

[00:25:45 - Like I've had a lot of bad days boxing,
but that's me and my character.] Speaker: 00;25;42;03
1

[00:25:47 - That's why I feel like] Speaker: 00;25;45;15
1

[00:25:51 - I want, at 21, I can like push on so much
because you see a lot of boxers] Speaker: 00;25;47;16
1

[00:25:55 - like JP,
the same name sounds like we don't shave,] Speaker: 00;25;52;00
1

[00:25:59 - we don't shaved like a lot of fighters
that are top level] Speaker: 00;25;55;05
1

[00:26:02 - other age,
they've achieved so much at junior level.] Speaker: 00;25;59;19
1

[00:26:04 - But for me I didn't like achieve always.] Speaker: 00;26;02;13
1

[00:26:06 - I love shoes like but we're.] Speaker: 00;26;04;22
1

[00:26:08 - All of that. Yeah.
Whether or not you like the.] Speaker: 00;26;06;05
1

[00:26:11 - For what did you say. Where are they now.] Speaker: 00;26;08;19
1

[00:26:11 - Oh okay.] Speaker: 00;26;11;00
1

[00:26:14 - People just disappear
because they achieved too much early on.] Speaker: 00;26;11;25
1

[00:26:16 - Whereas
we always had a hunger. Like I'm. Hungry.] Speaker: 00;26;14;01
1

[00:26:17 - Like we always wanted more. Like.] Speaker: 00;26;16;13
1

[00:26:18 - So why do you think.] Speaker: 00;26;17;20
1

[00:26:21 - Why do you think that, like, for those,
like 4 or 5 years.] Speaker: 00;26;18;17
1

[00:26:23 - Was it mental. Was it strength. Was it.] Speaker: 00;26;21;15
1

[00:26:26 - You know,
I feel like it was just not trained on] Speaker: 00;26;23;29
1

[00:26:29 - the sparring was good, but I couldn't
get the best out of my performance.] Speaker: 00;26;26;27
1

[00:26:32 - I wasn't performing
at the best of my ability, but made some.] Speaker: 00;26;29;24
1

[00:26:33 - Real well.] Speaker: 00;26;33;06
1

[00:26:34 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;26;33;29
1

[00:26:37 - Or obviously like,
but like I went home and cried a lot,] Speaker: 00;26;34;10
1

[00:26:39 - like because I was going to the nationals
and getting beat like.] Speaker: 00;26;37;11
1

[00:26:41 - But you know what actually changed my life
a lot?] Speaker: 00;26;39;04
1

[00:26:44 - I went to a sports psychologist
and I just like] Speaker: 00;26;41;14
1

[00:26:48 - it's like the switch on me, like
I just saw myself as a different person.] Speaker: 00;26;45;00
1

[00:26:50 - Like just by going to talking to somebody.] Speaker: 00;26;48;01
1

[00:26:51 - Talking to someone.] Speaker: 00;26;50;14
1

[00:26:55 - So I was going to a sports psychologist
like every week] Speaker: 00;26;51;07
1

[00:26:57 - for probably like eight weeks,] Speaker: 00;26;55;07
1

[00:27:00 - and I just flop my
like all my mental state like,] Speaker: 00;26;57;14
1

[00:27:02 - so I could perform
like because the trouble was] Speaker: 00;27;00;09
1

[00:27:05 - I just couldn't
perform like it wasn't my body.] Speaker: 00;27;02;27
1

[00:27:07 - It was just I can perform on the stage.] Speaker: 00;27;05;02
1

[00:27:07 - Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;27;07;06
1

[00:27:09 - My mindset just.] Speaker: 00;27;07;17
1

[00:27:11 - Do you had you
did you experience. That? Yeah.] Speaker: 00;27;09;02
1

[00:27:13 - As in sports psychologist as well. It's] Speaker: 00;27;11;04
1

[00:27:17 - a few years ago, like I had box
three angry.] Speaker: 00;27;15;09
1

[00:27:19 - I let it get to my head.] Speaker: 00;27;17;26
1

[00:27:21 - So would you be pretty angry? Like,
you just go out there to start.] Speaker: 00;27;19;12
1

[00:27:23 - Just want to just want to kill.
Just destroy.] Speaker: 00;27;21;10
1

[00:27:25 - Yeah. Destroy it.
But yeah, it's box in the.] Speaker: 00;27;23;22
1

[00:27:26 - And it's a smart sport.] Speaker: 00;27;25;19
1

[00:27:29 - It's it's
chess. It's a game of chess. Yes.] Speaker: 00;27;26;28
1

[00:27:30 - There's moves to make.] Speaker: 00;27;29;01
1

[00:27:34 - You can't go whenever hard or else they're
going to sense that they're going to.] Speaker: 00;27;30;27
1

[00:27:37 - We're going to be nice and boxy.] Speaker: 00;27;35;19
1

[00:27:41 - They are going to outsmart you when you're
angry, you just lose, lose the head.] Speaker: 00;27;37;05
1

[00:27:45 - So do you have to like, almost getting,
like, almost like some sort of Zen state?] Speaker: 00;27;42;03
1

[00:27:46 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;27;46;02
1

[00:27:50 - It's like a it's like the anger there,
but not using it in a way.] Speaker: 00;27;46;11
1

[00:27:51 - Right.] Speaker: 00;27;50;20
1

[00:27:53 - Let's say it's kind of weird.] Speaker: 00;27;51;11
1

[00:27:55 - Like it's like you have to like use,] Speaker: 00;27;53;06
1

[00:27:58 - use the, the anger, but the sand
to balance it out with the boxing.] Speaker: 00;27;55;01
1

[00:28:00 - You just can't just be one. Set it.] Speaker: 00;27;58;14
1

[00:28:04 - I heard somebody say once that, that
that men should be capable] Speaker: 00;28;00;19
1

[00:28:09 - of incredible violence and
and no net not to use it.] Speaker: 00;28;04;08
1

[00:28:11 - Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Boxing.] Speaker: 00;28;09;06
1

[00:28:12 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;28;11;21
1

[00:28:16 - So it's like, so you have to be like
in this, in this crazy almost.] Speaker: 00;28;12;00
1

[00:28:19 - Which a lot of people don't understand
is like this, like,] Speaker: 00;28;16;22
1

[00:28:22 - almost like a meditative state
with, with supreme focus.] Speaker: 00;28;19;00
1

[00:28:25 - Yeah. Even like outside of boxing. Like.] Speaker: 00;28;22;07
1

[00:28:27 - I'm sure it helps outside
to. Like, even set up.] Speaker: 00;28;25;18
1

[00:28:30 - I was never someone slapped me
in all like, like trying to start a fight.] Speaker: 00;28;27;18
1

[00:28:35 - I'd rather just, like, walk away or, like,
just just not there at all.] Speaker: 00;28;31;14
1

[00:28:38 - Because I know what I'm capable of doing.
Yeah.] Speaker: 00;28;35;18
1

[00:28:40 - And it's like,
I just know how people react.] Speaker: 00;28;38;10
1

[00:28:42 - It makes.] Speaker: 00;28;42;00
1

[00:28:43 - I think it makes people.] Speaker: 00;28;42;18
1

[00:28:45 - I think it makes people like you.] Speaker: 00;28;43;28
1

[00:28:48 - Not like, I mean, people who are capable,] Speaker: 00;28;45;14
1

[00:28:52 - have the ability to, to,] Speaker: 00;28;49;15
1

[00:28:55 - to show basically kindness.] Speaker: 00;28;52;07
1

[00:28:55 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;28;55;15
1

[00:28:56 - You know, I think because.] Speaker: 00;28;55;25
1

[00:28:59 - Like, you're not going to lose teeth
tonight because I'm going to walk away.] Speaker: 00;28;56;21
1

[00:29:01 - You know. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;29;00;10
1

[00:29:04 - And there's I think there's something
about like having that mentality] Speaker: 00;29;01;14
1

[00:29:07 - even like in everyday life,
I mean, you guys can't box till you're 90,] Speaker: 00;29;04;03
1

[00:29:08 - you know what I mean?] Speaker: 00;29;07;18
1

[00:29:09 - I mean, you could try,] Speaker: 00;29;08;02
1

[00:29:12 - but you're going to have to get a hip
in a wheelchair and try to. Win.] Speaker: 00;29;09;15
1

[00:29:15 - A boxing. Wheelchair boxing?
Have you ever.] Speaker: 00;29;12;24
1

[00:29:15 - What was that?] Speaker: 00;29;15;00
1

[00:29:17 - Do you ever see what was that? Murderball.] Speaker: 00;29;15;23
1

[00:29:20 - Do you ever hear of that? No.
It was the guys in the.] Speaker: 00;29;17;24
1

[00:29:22 - It was like an Olympic sport
for like a year.] Speaker: 00;29;20;21
1

[00:29:24 - It was like
the guys in, like, the hardcore.] Speaker: 00;29;22;21
1

[00:29:26 - They made a documentary about it.] Speaker: 00;29;24;22
1

[00:29:29 - It was these guys in wheelchairs
who were competitive competitively play.] Speaker: 00;29;26;01
1

[00:29:32 - I thought it was it was like a.] Speaker: 00;29;31;03
1

[00:29:33 - Basketball or something like that.] Speaker: 00;29;32;01
1

[00:29:35 - It was so intense.] Speaker: 00;29;33;14
1

[00:29:38 - Like these guys were crushing each other
and they loved it.] Speaker: 00;29;35;05
1

[00:29:40 - And they just absolutely loved it.
So it was called Murderball.] Speaker: 00;29;38;05
1

[00:29:42 - So that's why you got to look into it.] Speaker: 00;29;40;24
1

[00:29:43 - It was pretty crazy.] Speaker: 00;29;42;09
1

[00:29:46 - What's one of the
what's one of the things about,] Speaker: 00;29;43;18
1

[00:29:50 - fighting especially, you know,
are you nervous] Speaker: 00;29;47;03
1

[00:29:51 - because you're going to go amateur
at some or you're] Speaker: 00;29;50;09
1

[00:29:53 - gonna go professional
at some point, right. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;29;51;27
1

[00:29:56 - Because until Sicknick not does win] Speaker: 00;29;53;08
1

[00:29:59 - on the timing and stuff
and seeing same horror stuff works out.] Speaker: 00;29;56;11
1

[00:30:02 - So just, just a waiting game
that is there.] Speaker: 00;29;59;22
1

[00:30:05 - Is there concerns about like,
it's a it's a new level.] Speaker: 00;30;02;25
1

[00:30:08 - Not like growing up.] Speaker: 00;30;06;11
1

[00:30:09 - Everyone knew you had other pros though.] Speaker: 00;30;08;00
1

[00:30:13 - Like most that in the amateurs
actually doesn't suit the amateurs because] Speaker: 00;30;09;28
1

[00:30:17 - and the like
for adult boxing like European level.] Speaker: 00;30;13;25
1

[00:30:21 - So everyone wants a
can I run dance just to to fit in?] Speaker: 00;30;17;08
1

[00:30:24 - Well I want to like kept
fighting the fighting like] Speaker: 00;30;22;00
1

[00:30:27 - just get your points
like score scores, score a point like.] Speaker: 00;30;24;12
1

[00:30:28 - Oh yeah, I.] Speaker: 00;30;28;12
1

[00:30:31 - Forgot about that. There's actually
the people don't get knocked out too.] Speaker: 00;30;28;26
1

[00:30:34 - Like there's points.
Yeah it's it's as a points game.] Speaker: 00;30;31;17
1

[00:30:34 - Well improve.] Speaker: 00;30;34;00
1

[00:30:35 - Oh yeah.] Speaker: 00;30;34;24
1

[00:30:37 - Oh that's right. No headgear. For them.] Speaker: 00;30;35;07
1

[00:30:38 - And you said smaller gloves.] Speaker: 00;30;37;18
1

[00:30:40 - Yeah. That's more global.] Speaker: 00;30;38;28
1

[00:30:42 - Well actually suit me so well cause I.] Speaker: 00;30;40;11
1

[00:30:43 - Won in the United States.] Speaker: 00;30;42;20
1

[00:30:46 - It's head gear here and bigger gloves.] Speaker: 00;30;43;20
1

[00:30:48 - Have you fought without headgear yet?
Yeah.] Speaker: 00;30;46;09
1

[00:30:49 - All the time.] Speaker: 00;30;48;10
1

[00:30:52 - So. So that's
where we're waiting with that.] Speaker: 00;30;49;21
1

[00:30:54 - We also had, you. Know, headgear.] Speaker: 00;30;52;03
1

[00:30:56 - And then you come over here, you're like,
what is this?] Speaker: 00;30;54;18
1

[00:30:57 - Yeah, I like it.] Speaker: 00;30;56;09
1

[00:30:59 - I like I hit it.] Speaker: 00;30;57;14
1

[00:31:01 - So. You'd you'd rather no headgear.] Speaker: 00;30;59;24
1

[00:31:03 - No headgear. Why do they do that.] Speaker: 00;31;01;17
1

[00:31:06 - Is that a liability thing too?] Speaker: 00;31;05;09
1

[00:31:09 - Yeah, I guess
USA boxing, it's just a requirement.] Speaker: 00;31;06;14
1

[00:31:12 - Of, I guess on to do, like, brain damage.] Speaker: 00;31;09;09
1

[00:31:14 - CTE, CTE, but the resource.] Speaker: 00;31;12;04
1

[00:31:18 - No, the, using the headgear
can actually be worse, because.] Speaker: 00;31;14;24
1

[00:31:20 - Really, if.] Speaker: 00;31;19;05
1

[00:31:22 - I'm going to head
someone with no headgear,] Speaker: 00;31;20;03
1

[00:31:25 - if I'm going to have the best shot,
I how they're going to get now that] Speaker: 00;31;22;09
1

[00:31:28 - if you had some of the headgear,
they're not going to not bother.] Speaker: 00;31;25;22
1

[00:31:29 - Their brains in.] Speaker: 00;31;28;15
1

[00:31:31 - The head even,
but their brain in the middle.] Speaker: 00;31;29;29
1

[00:31:33 - So chicken.] Speaker: 00;31;31;27
1

[00:31:34 - Yeah, I was looking into the CTE.] Speaker: 00;31;33;08
1

[00:31:37 - They said it's like the body's reaction
to like protect itself.] Speaker: 00;31;34;14
1

[00:31:40 - So like when you go unconscious,
it's like your body's] Speaker: 00;31;37;25
1

[00:31:44 - just reacting to be like, oh, we can't
we can't stand up and take more of this.] Speaker: 00;31;40;07
1

[00:31:46 - I thought, and I asked, you know, like.] Speaker: 00;31;44;20
1

[00:31:48 - You, what we doing this?] Speaker: 00;31;46;20
1

[00:31:50 - I definitely think I have CTE. You do.] Speaker: 00;31;48;07
1

[00:31:53 - What do you do for that?] Speaker: 00;31;52;12
1

[00:31:55 - I don't know,] Speaker: 00;31;53;21
1

[00:31:57 - I hope you don't. That's fucking terrible.] Speaker: 00;31;55;09
1

[00:31:59 - I don't I don't.] Speaker: 00;31;57;13
1

[00:32:01 - And that's another shocker
from one country to another.] Speaker: 00;31;59;14
1

[00:32:03 - Let's try it. One more that'll shock
everybody.] Speaker: 00;32;01;18
1

[00:32:06 - Oh, there's two shockers for me
that I just learned about.] Speaker: 00;32;03;19
1

[00:32:08 - I'm just learning
as more. I'm going to post.] Speaker: 00;32;06;01
1

[00:32:11 - But they have they have] Speaker: 00;32;08;06
1

[00:32:13 - well they have more] Speaker: 00;32;11;18
1

[00:32:15 - being selected
to turn pro over the United States.] Speaker: 00;32;13;15
1

[00:32:16 - And coming over in] Speaker: 00;32;15;19
1

[00:32:19 - live productions is a big achievement
because the pros is much different.] Speaker: 00;32;16;10
1

[00:32:22 - Not as much, money
floating around in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;32;19;14
1

[00:32:23 - The turn pro okay.] Speaker: 00;32;22;26
1

[00:32:27 - Turning pro underneath my wing
in Glenview, America is a big thing.] Speaker: 00;32;23;27
1

[00:32:31 - But right now, the visas we're working on
visa P1 does a certain visa.] Speaker: 00;32;27;22
1

[00:32:33 - It's called a P1 visa,] Speaker: 00;32;31;29
1

[00:32:36 - and that's for an amateur
boxer can stay here for three years.] Speaker: 00;32;33;15
1

[00:32:39 - Very expensive and a lot of paperwork.] Speaker: 00;32;36;26
1

[00:32:41 - We've been working on this for a month
and a half now,] Speaker: 00;32;39;00
1

[00:32:43 - so we're getting close
to understanding it.] Speaker: 00;32;41;05
1

[00:32:45 - So is that what you want to do?] Speaker: 00;32;43;06
1

[00:32:46 - You want to come?] Speaker: 00;32;45;08
1

[00:32:46 - Yeah. No.] Speaker: 00;32;46;02
1

[00:32:47 - You mean pro boxer.] Speaker: 00;32;46;13
1

[00:32:50 - As a pro boxer it's to come to America.] Speaker: 00;32;47;28
1

[00:32:51 - His patter.] Speaker: 00;32;50;14
1

[00:32:53 - And now that we have that,
we have to set a roadmap up.] Speaker: 00;32;51;00
1

[00:32:54 - Sure. Okay.] Speaker: 00;32;53;13
1

[00:32:56 - Just tell him, hey, we're going to train,
you know, tomorrow.] Speaker: 00;32;54;07
1

[00:32:58 - Yeah. I'm not here to the boxer.] Speaker: 00;32;56;16
1

[00:32:59 - I'm not here to kaha.] Speaker: 00;32;58;14
1

[00:33:01 - What roadmap look like?] Speaker: 00;32;59;16
1

[00:33:04 - Number one is the visa is a huge issue.] Speaker: 00;33;01;12
1

[00:33:05 - How. Much is a. Visa?] Speaker: 00;33;04;02
1

[00:33:08 - 8000. Holy shit.] Speaker: 00;33;05;16
1

[00:33:12 - Okay, it's 6000 for the lawyers
and 2800 to have it rushed.] Speaker: 00;33;08;05
1

[00:33:15 - Oh, the lawyers always got to get paid.] Speaker: 00;33;13;08
1

[00:33:17 - That's the way it's got to go. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;33;15;22
1

[00:33:20 - So no one knows about this too much,
but it's a P1 visa now.] Speaker: 00;33;17;04
1

[00:33:23 - A lot of boxers,
I don't understand. Go to Boston.] Speaker: 00;33;20;22
1

[00:33:26 - It's a network of fighters
fighting pro in Boston.] Speaker: 00;33;23;06
1

[00:33:28 - Well, they'll come on a a visitor visa.] Speaker: 00;33;26;06
1

[00:33:32 - We are allowed three times,
but let's just let's throw it out there.] Speaker: 00;33;28;22
1

[00:33:35 - If you're running pro and you want to turn
pro and you're coming here.] Speaker: 00;33;32;09
1

[00:33:36 - What do you mean you're you?] Speaker: 00;33;35;11
1

[00:33:38 - They'll turn your way at the gate
when we have tickets] Speaker: 00;33;36;12
1

[00:33:41 - and posters out there, like,
because you can only stay three times.] Speaker: 00;33;38;19
1

[00:33:44 - And some of these boxes
come over on a visitor visa.] Speaker: 00;33;41;21
1

[00:33:45 - I cannot do that. What?] Speaker: 00;33;44;12
1

[00:33:47 - His roadmap has to be solid.] Speaker: 00;33;45;21
1

[00:33:49 - If he's going to be here,
it has to be a P1 visa.] Speaker: 00;33;47;05
1

[00:33:53 - A P1 visa allows a pro boxer
to live in United States, but] Speaker: 00;33;49;23
1

[00:33:58 - the visa has to have such criteria
that you have to be recognized] Speaker: 00;33;54;18
1

[00:34:02 - on social media and recognized
and boxed worldwide has done that.] Speaker: 00;33;58;00
1

[00:34:05 - You have to have at least 100 recognized.
On social media.] Speaker: 00;34;02;23
1

[00:34:05 - Yeah. Yes.] Speaker: 00;34;05;14
1

[00:34:10 - They looked at all that they had,
the investigators on the visa] Speaker: 00;34;05;27
1

[00:34:12 - application
for the United States government] Speaker: 00;34;10;22
1

[00:34:14 - because he has to get interviewed
in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;34;12;23
1

[00:34:16 - Another thing that, oh. My gosh.] Speaker: 00;34;14;21
1

[00:34:20 - He has to be recognized in other countries
fighting internationally.] Speaker: 00;34;16;13
1

[00:34:23 - We have to convince the government
that he's coming here,] Speaker: 00;34;20;14
1

[00:34:26 - but he has to turn pro to come here
to do this for three years.] Speaker: 00;34;23;15
1

[00:34:30 - For this P1 visa, we have to convince
the United States government] Speaker: 00;34;27;00
1

[00:34:33 - that he has lived up to his expectations
to fight] Speaker: 00;34;30;17
1

[00:34:37 - and be granted to fight here
for three years.] Speaker: 00;34;34;05
1

[00:34:39 - We might
I might be able to make a phone call.] Speaker: 00;34;37;00
1

[00:34:41 - I might.] Speaker: 00;34;41;03
1

[00:34:44 - Be able.
To say so. He has a lot of paperwork.] Speaker: 00;34;41;29
1

[00:34:48 - So, he qualifies on every checkmark] Speaker: 00;34;44;10
1

[00:34:50 - that we have worked with
for the last month and a half.] Speaker: 00;34;48;23
1

[00:34:53 - So I'm coming here with so much knowledge,
I could probably do a P1 visa here.] Speaker: 00;34;50;25
1

[00:34:56 - You can start up your own company of P1
visas.] Speaker: 00;34;54;00
1

[00:34:59 - He's been working behind the scenes
with him, but, he qualifies.] Speaker: 00;34;56;10
1

[00:35:01 - He qualifies to the utmost.] Speaker: 00;34;59;23
1

[00:35:04 - And a lot of it is social
media has a social media presence.] Speaker: 00;35;01;16
1

[00:35:06 - Like, is it showing that he is.] Speaker: 00;35;04;25
1

[00:35:09 - That's crazy that a government would ask
about your social media.] Speaker: 00;35;06;13
1

[00:35:14 - And all I think is to USDA like show that
the opponents of you fought and then are.] Speaker: 00;35;09;25
1

[00:35:16 - Real. Credible.] Speaker: 00;35;14;27
1

[00:35:18 - Yeah it's true like so not only.] Speaker: 00;35;16;01
1

[00:35:20 - Do you can't. Be like backyard wrestling.] Speaker: 00;35;18;02
1

[00:35:20 - I looked at] Speaker: 00;35;20;10
1

[00:35:23 - the facts. You.] Speaker: 00;35;22;05
1

[00:35:25 - This isn't me.] Speaker: 00;35;23;07
1

[00:35:27 - Let's go. Yes.] Speaker: 00;35;25;19
1

[00:35:29 - Yeah. So we're underneath that scrutiny
right now.] Speaker: 00;35;27;02
1

[00:35:29 - Yeah, well, I think.] Speaker: 00;35;29;07
1

[00:35:32 - A lot of people are just like,
oh, like, there's this Irish boxer] Speaker: 00;35;29;23
1

[00:35:34 - and they don't realize, like,
you know, between.] Speaker: 00;35;32;01
1

[00:35:38 - But, like, how much shit
you guys have to do just to just to go] Speaker: 00;35;34;09
1

[00:35:42 - fight like you can't focus on,
like, your skills when you're like,] Speaker: 00;35;38;06
1

[00:35:44 - oh, am I stressed out about like,
is the visa going to go through?] Speaker: 00;35;42;01
1

[00:35:47 - Am I going to only be allowed three times?] Speaker: 00;35;44;26
1

[00:35:50 - You know, that's going to be a lot. Of
I drove the car and talked.] Speaker: 00;35;47;06
1

[00:35:52 - You just said what I said in the car
at 630.] Speaker: 00;35;50;01
1

[00:35:53 - We had pizza at for Tellies.] Speaker: 00;35;52;03
1

[00:35:55 - Oh, you guys are training
and he's getting the pizza.] Speaker: 00;35;53;19
1

[00:35:56 - I sure did not] Speaker: 00;35;55;16
1

[00:35:58 - get that.] Speaker: 00;35;58;00
1

[00:35:59 - Yeah.] Speaker: 00;35;58;23
1

[00:36:02 - It's just, you know, coach,
they had pizza from fatalities.] Speaker: 00;35;59;05
1

[00:36:05 - Yeah. No, no car. Pizza, car.] Speaker: 00;36;02;26
1

[00:36:08 - I hate to throw all this at you,

[00:40:05 - Scranton is a really unique place.] Speaker: 00;40;04;10
1

[00:40:08 - There's no place I've. I've.
I've lived all over the country.] Speaker: 00;40;05;29
1

[00:40:12 - I've traveled to Europe and Iceland
and Greenland and Ireland.] Speaker: 00;40;08;26
1

[00:40:14 - And like all these places,] Speaker: 00;40;12;25
1

[00:40:17 - there is no place on the planet
that's like Scranton, Pennsylvania.] Speaker: 00;40;14;10
1

[00:40:19 - It's so weird.] Speaker: 00;40;17;15
1

[00:40:21 - It's so like, everyone hates each other.] Speaker: 00;40;19;04
1

[00:40:23 - But if, like, your house catches on fire,] Speaker: 00;40;21;27
1

[00:40:26 - all the people that hate
you are getting new clothes and food.] Speaker: 00;40;23;16
1

[00:40:28 - It's just like a weird, I guess. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;40;26;05
1

[00:40:28 - That's lethal.] Speaker: 00;40;28;09
1

[00:40:31 - And I think there's a lot of
I think there's a lot of Irish] Speaker: 00;40;28;28
1

[00:40:34 - generational trauma
from like hundreds of years ago] Speaker: 00;40;31;11
1

[00:40:39 - because like most, most of the Irish
immigrants here, like work the mines or,] Speaker: 00;40;35;06
1

[00:40:41 - you know, and so they
so they laid down roots] Speaker: 00;40;39;11
1

[00:40:42 - and there's a lot of like I,] Speaker: 00;40;41;09
1

[00:40:47 - if I'm not mistaken, like the unions in
America started here because of the Irish.] Speaker: 00;40;42;29
1

[00:40:49 - Yeah. People are so proud
of the Irish roots here.] Speaker: 00;40;47;15
1

[00:40:52 - And I think I recognize like people
always support us, people to support me.] Speaker: 00;40;49;14
1

[00:40:54 - JP that's why their issues are so good.] Speaker: 00;40;52;19
1

[00:40:55 - Like as people.] Speaker: 00;40;54;27
1

[00:40:58 - People have been there is like
totally noted the best thing ever.] Speaker: 00;40;55;28
1

[00:40:59 - Like and and you.] Speaker: 00;40;58;12

1

[00:41:08 - really don't like each other in this town.
Yeah. Oh yeah. I didn't talk.] Speaker: 00;41;06;14
1

[00:41:09 - Not at all.] Speaker: 00;41;08;26
1

[00:41:12 - There was like the Irish,
the Italians, the Germans and the Polish.] Speaker: 00;41;09;24
1

[00:41:16 - Like where I live, there were
all these sections that used to be there] Speaker: 00;41;12;29
1

[00:41:20 - up until like the 70s, where it's like
everybody lived in their own place.] Speaker: 00;41;16;04
1

[00:41:21 - And my grandfather, my, my.] Speaker: 00;41;20;04
1

[00:41:23 - So my grandfather's Irish. Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;41;21;12
1

[00:41:27 - And he would tell me
we weren't allowed to hang out.] Speaker: 00;41;23;08
1

[00:41:30 - We weren't allowed to hang out
with the Polish or the Italians.] Speaker: 00;41;27;22
1

[00:41:33 - They had to sneak through the alleys
at night to go] Speaker: 00;41;31;00
1

[00:41:37 - hang out with each other,
which I was like, you're kidding me.] Speaker: 00;41;33;12

1

[00:44:27 - You can't. You know what I mean?] Speaker: 00;44;26;05
1

[00:44:28 - So, like, the mentality of that.] Speaker: 00;44;27;15
1

[00:44:30 - But everyone knows that like.] Speaker: 00;44;28;27
1

[00:44:34 - Every fullback is always talking about
lost who like is like solvent and rust.] Speaker: 00;44;30;19
1

[00:44:38 - The difference between Irish fighters
and American fighters is like me and JP,] Speaker: 00;44;34;19
1

[00:44:39 - we just love the fight.] Speaker: 00;44;38;15
1

[00:44:42 - Like, you know,
I mean like American fighters don't] Speaker: 00;44;39;08
1

[00:44:44 - mate straight
mates like 3 or 4 times a year.] Speaker: 00;44;42;08
1

[00:44:48 - But like last year
I had 14 fights really one year.] Speaker: 00;44;44;21
1

[00:44:49 - Like we just love the fight.] Speaker: 00;44;48;09
1

[00:44:52 - Like, so as soon as one fight, it ends,
like, might take a couple of days off.] Speaker: 00;44;49;09
1

[00:44:53 - I want to fight again] Speaker: 00;44;52;18
1

[00:44:56 - because as always, they come in
someone they work towards like causes] Speaker: 00;44;53;11
1

[00:44:57 - my mental issues.] Speaker: 00;44;56;19
1

[00:44:58 - I just want to beat
everyone like is part of what I mean.] Speaker: 00;44;57;10
1

[00:45:01 - Like, and even if I don't like,

[00:46:03 - I think I have to be 100%
committed to the channel.] Speaker: 00;46;01;08
1

[00:46:07 - I think it's I think it's important
for young people to realize like,] Speaker: 00;46;03;28
1

[00:46:10 - sometimes like it is okay
to have like a passion] Speaker: 00;46;07;25
1

[00:46:15 - and it is okay to, like, pursue
something to the ends of the earth] Speaker: 00;46;11;14
1

[00:46:20 - without getting distracted
with like Facebook, Instagram, Xbox.] Speaker: 00;46;15;03
1

[00:46:22 - Yeah, yeah.
It's like I say, there's always people.] Speaker: 00;46;20;19
1

[00:46:24 - There's always people like on TikTok,
whatever.] Speaker: 00;46;22;19
1

[00:46:28 - Like comment on JP's post,
like giving us a dislike, but like,] Speaker: 00;46;24;15
1

[00:46:32 - people don't realize, like the work we put
on like totally awesome experiences,] Speaker: 00;46;28;10
1

[00:46:35 - people to go on their keyboard
and like start typing away, but like.] Speaker: 00;46;32;23
1

[00:46:38 - Do you guys love that? Yeah, I like yeah.] Speaker: 00;46;36;00
1

[00:46:40 - So when everybody talks shit,

[00:46:46 - You keep in.] Speaker: 00;46;44;20
1

[00:46:46 - Pretty good.] Speaker: 00;46;46;01
1

[00:46:50 - Good point with these two boys
that what I'm profoundly thrilled about] Speaker: 00;46;46;14
1

[00:46:51 - and I'm a little questionable.] Speaker: 00;46;50;09
1

[00:46:55 - Like as we turn pro and go into 2122
years old like has some changes.] Speaker: 00;46;51;10
1

[00:46:56 - You are a male. Sure.] Speaker: 00;46;55;13
1

[00:46:58 - And the different things go on.] Speaker: 00;46;56;26
1

[00:47:02 - But, like they have not lost the flame] Speaker: 00;46;58;12
1

[00:47:04 - when you turn the flame on as a kid,] Speaker: 00;47;02;15
1

[00:47:05 - maybe in America,] Speaker: 00;47;04;09
1

[00:47:07 - not seeing America fighters
different things] Speaker: 00;47;05;08
1

[00:47:10 - by the time they're 21 distractions
in America, they're different.] Speaker: 00;47;07;01
1

[00:47:12 - You know, they're different, major.] Speaker: 00;47;10;08
1

[00:47:14 - Not only with that,
with want to make money.] Speaker: 00;47;12;03
1

[00:47:16 - There's a lot of money
floating around as a young kid here.] Speaker: 00;47;14;06
1

[00:47:17 - There's relationships.] Speaker: 00;47;16;05
1

[00:47:19 - There's a lot of different things.] Speaker: 00;47;17;13
1

[00:47:22 - These guys, the flame is just as much
when they were seven.] Speaker: 00;47;19;05
1

[00:47:24 - That's the amazing thing. Is.] Speaker: 00;47;22;07
1

[00:47:26 - That's the amazing things.] Speaker: 00;47;24;23
1

[00:47:28 - Like the hunger. Like once you lose
the hunger, you're fucked.] Speaker: 00;47;26;18
1

[00:47:32 - Like I think of, like we got out
for like 5 million people to start boxing.] Speaker: 00;47;28;19
1

[00:47:33 - Like you still bucks,] Speaker: 00;47;32;08
1

[00:47:35 - if you know what I mean.] Speaker: 00;47;34;12
1

[00:47:38 - Like, if I got 1 million pound right
now, I'd still be boxing,] Speaker: 00;47;35;02
1

[00:47:40 - if you know what I mean. Like so.] Speaker: 00;47;38;21
1

[00:47:43 - Like that hunger. I just like fighting.] Speaker: 00;47;40;28
1

[00:47:44 - You know?] Speaker: 00;47;43;25
1

[00:47:46 - So, like, what is like,
what do you think. Of what do you think.] Speaker: 00;47;44;05
1

[00:47:48 - That comes from?] Speaker: 00;47;46;27
1

[00:47:51 - Just where do you think
that passion come from?] Speaker: 00;47;48;10
1

[00:47:52 - Just because we've just been done
our whole lives.] Speaker: 00;47;51;02
1

[00:47:55 - I think it's just like Russell,
like used it.] Speaker: 00;47;52;29
1

[00:47:59 - And it's just we've always been done
our whole lives. Why?] Speaker: 00;47;56;10
1

[00:48:00 - Why is it different for you?] Speaker: 00;47;59;10
1

[00:48:02 - Like, are you saying from the North,] Speaker: 00;48;00;28
1

[00:48:05 - if I got into saying,
asking a serious question,] Speaker: 00;48;02;20
1

[00:48:06 - are you saying it's been a little tougher] Speaker: 00;48;05;15
1

[00:48:10 - from the north to the south of Ireland,
even though it's a small country?] Speaker: 00;48;06;29
1

[00:48:14 - Though I don't know what way to put it.] Speaker: 00;48;13;05
1

[00:48:15 - What? Why would you put them to.] Speaker: 00;48;14;15
1

[00:48:18 - So they were just more, less, more hungry,
I think, like,] Speaker: 00;48;15;17
1

[00:48:22 - and, no,
it just depends on the person as well.] Speaker: 00;48;19;26
1

[00:48:25 - Like, they can be boys down south too,
just like fighting as well.] Speaker: 00;48;22;06
1

[00:48:29 - But it seemed like,
especially where I'm from as well.] Speaker: 00;48;25;17
1

[00:48:32 - Like, it's
just like everyone likes to fight.] Speaker: 00;48;29;12
1

[00:48:34 - It's like,
what else to do with them as well?] Speaker: 00;48;32;06
1

[00:48:37 - It's like, what else do you say?] Speaker: 00;48;34;14
1

[00:48:38 - What else would you be doing?] Speaker: 00;48;37;04
1

[00:48:40 - Yeah, like that's what I was asking.] Speaker: 00;48;38;12
1

[00:48:44 - If you're not fit and if you're not fit,
you're just I'll be like in a bar or doing] Speaker: 00;48;40;08
1

[00:48:44 - normal stuff.] Speaker: 00;48;44;00
1

[00:48:46 - Like there's not much to be done back
home.] Speaker: 00;48;44;29
1

[00:48:48 - Like they know, like there's.] Speaker: 00;48;46;12
1

[00:48:50 - Is there more elite fighters.] Speaker: 00;48;48;23
1

[00:48:52 - When we say elite, I get confused on that.] Speaker: 00;48;50;28
1

[00:48:55 - Is there more elite fighters
and what does he mean?] Speaker: 00;48;52;26
1

[00:48:58 - Americans
don't know what elite fighters mean.] Speaker: 00;48;55;25
1

[00:48:59 - I, I heard from what I understand,] Speaker: 00;48;58;01
1

[00:49:03 - elite champions are more prevalent
in the North than the South.] Speaker: 00;48;59;20
1

[00:49:05 - Yeah, like elite means] Speaker: 00;49;03;18
1

[00:49:07 - like your best.] Speaker: 00;49;06;18
1

[00:49:10 - Like so there's what is novice.] Speaker: 00;49;07;24
1

[00:49:12 - Intermediate. Yeah.
And then at least top level.] Speaker: 00;49;10;04
1

[00:49:15 - Elites like the top level. You can
you can say that.] Speaker: 00;49;12;25
1

[00:49:20 - And there's loads of boys from up
north, your early early elite champions.] Speaker: 00;49;15;16
1

[00:49:25 - And there's for okay, these in the north
like no for these and I don't like and] Speaker: 00;49;20;26
1

[00:49:30 - that seems like it seems like North
just has a more dog in them.] Speaker: 00;49;26;17
1

[00:49:31 - Like.] Speaker: 00;49;30;24
1

[00:49:34 - Wow. Now I picked you up on Monday] Speaker: 00;49;31;19

[00:50:26 - And then what about England? And it.] Speaker: 00;50;24;08
1

[00:50:27 - Oh, see, there's the modesty.] Speaker: 00;50;26;10
1

[00:50:30 - In England.] Speaker: 00;50;29;26
1

[00:50:31 - Then who? What?] Speaker: 00;50;30;11
1

[00:50:32 - Who was the guy in England then?] Speaker: 00;50;31;21
1

[00:50:33 - They fight on Saturday.] Speaker: 00;50;32;24
1

[00:50:36 - Because if you fight Friday night, you
fight the champ of England on Saturday.] Speaker: 00;50;33;18
1

[00:50:38 - You had to be Friday
night. First. Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;50;36;07
1

[00:50:41 - So for the Hungary guy first on the
I think it was Thursday] Speaker: 00;50;38;10
1

[00:50:46 - and then the next day
for England on the Friday and.] Speaker: 00;50;42;18
1

[00:50:47 - And that ranked you as number one in.] Speaker: 00;50;46;08
1

[00:50:49 - The country I mean number one. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;50;47;21
1

[00:50:52 - So how many fights total
do you really have. And] Speaker: 00;50;49;11
1

[00:50:55 - all in like I'd say a bit over] Speaker: 00;50;53;19
1

[00:50:58 - two on the plus 200 plus.] Speaker: 00;50;55;10
1

[00:51:00 - And you're asking what do they do either.] Speaker: 00;50;58;16
1

[00:51:03 - But like,
forgive me for asking that question.] Speaker: 00;51;00;26
1

[00:51:06 - Like,
but that's like when you're a kid as well.] Speaker: 00;51;05;04
1

[00:51:07 - Like you're doing] Speaker: 00;51;06;27
1

[00:51:10 - like like when you're a kid as well.] Speaker: 00;51;08;23
1

[00:51:14 - You could be fighting more
because it's not as damaging on your head.] Speaker: 00;51;10;21
1

[00:51:17 - So when you're by 14 and all that,
you just be fighting like] Speaker: 00;51;14;13
1

[00:51:19 - once every two weeks,
or I want to be like, just be tough.] Speaker: 00;51;17;05
1

[00:51:22 - You just keep fighting like you don't.
They don't really care about it.] Speaker: 00;51;19;29
1

[00:51:23 - Like your closest classic.] Speaker: 00;51;22;19
1

[00:51:26 - You're fighting here next week, so it.] Speaker: 00;51;23;29
1

[00:51:29 - Seems like you're getting 3
or 4 big fights in, and in the next.] Speaker: 00;51;26;02
1

[00:51:31 - Three weeks will just start getting older.] Speaker: 00;51;30;07
1

[00:51:34 - But like after 18, that's more.] Speaker: 00;51;31;28
1

[00:51:37 - It's more you slowed down the fights and,] Speaker: 00;51;34;28
1

[00:51:41 - you take your time because that's that's
when you're fighting grow, man.] Speaker: 00;51;37;26
1

[00:51:46 - We're fighting like when we're 18, we're
fighting up the man at the age of 40.] Speaker: 00;51;41;18
1

[00:51:49 - So you can fight at the age of 18.
The 40 year. Olds.] Speaker: 00;51;46;14
1

[00:51:50 - Okay. So like.] Speaker: 00;51;49;11
1

[00:51:52 - Especially when you lose age brackets.] Speaker: 00;51;50;03
1

[00:51:54 - Yeah. Like that's 2018 elite.] Speaker: 00;51;52;26
1

[00:51:57 - Elite means that you can fight anyone from
18 to 40.] Speaker: 00;51;54;22
1

[00:51:58 - Okay.] Speaker: 00;51;58;11
1

[00:52:02 - So you going to be fighting
some Olympian guys 35] Speaker: 00;51;58;23
1

[00:52:07 - like loads of loads
of like fights like 400 plus fights.] Speaker: 00;52;03;14
1

[00:52:10 - And you can get some boys
when he had like ten fights.] Speaker: 00;52;07;10
1

[00:52:13 - So it's like there's margins on it.] Speaker: 00;52;10;20
1

[00:52:15 - It seems like a pretty big margin. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;52;13;16
1

[00:52:18 - There's like like I fought
boys like these had even more fights.] Speaker: 00;52;15;20
1

[00:52:23 - Like free on the fight, on the card,
on boxer Axel.] Speaker: 00;52;18;29
1

[00:52:26 - Like they're about means
they've helped like free on their fights] Speaker: 00;52;23;01
1

[00:52:29 - on the card to probably have about 600
have on their face.] Speaker: 00;52;26;03
1

[00:52:30 - But 600.] Speaker: 00;52;29;07
1

[00:52:32 - Or 700.] Speaker: 00;52;30;18
1

[00:52:35 - And like and these they, they don't go pro] Speaker: 00;52;32;12
1

[00:52:38 - and so they just stay on
each are like to 40.] Speaker: 00;52;35;17
1

[00:52:41 - They need to stop like just keep fighting.] Speaker: 00;52;38;20
1

[00:52:42 - These guys from Russia and stuff too.] Speaker: 00;52;41;15
1

[00:52:44 - They had Russia.
You can't find anything like that.] Speaker: 00;52;42;20
1

[00:52:46 - You got the worst thing.
Like you can only have.] Speaker: 00;52;44;11
1

[00:52:48 - It is or you can't say why.] Speaker: 00;52;46;06
1

[00:52:50 - They're just based. Like the Russians.] Speaker: 00;52;48;14
1

[00:52:53 - Uzbeks as well. Uzbeks
cause Kazakhs think.] Speaker: 00;52;50;13

1

[00:53:33 - Did the Russians win?] Speaker: 00;53;31;27
1

[00:53:35 - Not that much. Russians won.] Speaker: 00;53;33;24

1

[00:53:59 - Yeah, that was my first time getting food
because it wasn't a nerd territory.] Speaker: 00;53;56;07
1

[00:54:02 - Well you're not. Yeah, it was Serbia.
It was a big name.] Speaker: 00;53;59;29
1

[00:54:04 - The the see my yellow walk right
beside the curtains.] Speaker: 00;54;02;05
1

[00:54:07 - And I was getting drums
and all that gassed me.] Speaker: 00;54;04;08
1

[00:54:09 - Did you expect that shit myself? I guess] Speaker: 00;54;07;22
1

[00:54:14 - I was like, okay.] Speaker: 00;54;11;27
1

[00:54:16 - What's that?] Speaker: 00;54;15;22
1

[00:54:16 - I mean.] Speaker: 00;54;16;10
1

[00:54:17 - What does the does the booze.] Speaker: 00;54;16;25
1

[00:54:18 - Fuck what?] Speaker: 00;54;17;28
1

[00:54:19 - You're fucking fucking my head.] Speaker: 00;54;18;10
1

[00:54:21 - Like I was like, yeah, this is better.] Speaker: 00;54;19;26
1

[00:54:24 - Like because like you say,
I'm just chill though.] Speaker: 00;54;21;21
1

[00:54:27 - Calm, like I'm not really
a guy does not move in before a fight.] Speaker: 00;54;24;13
1

[00:54:31 - And I was all relaxants
and as soon as I heard him boos,] Speaker: 00;54;28;18
1

[00:54:34 - I just like, felt like I just felt like
I had a right hook.] Speaker: 00;54;31;15
1

[00:54:38 - I was like, fuck it as a serious day,
you know, wake up.] Speaker: 00;54;34;18
1

[00:54:41 - There's a hardcore psychology
to doing this.] Speaker: 00;54;39;07
1

[00:54:42 - Yeah, but it was good.] Speaker: 00;54;41;09
1

[00:54:44 - Like, because it's all learning as well.] Speaker: 00;54;42;15
1

[00:54:48 - Like, I'm, I was young at the time stuff
and I feel like I thought] Speaker: 00;54;44;20
1

[00:54:51 - they taught me a lot
like other than get for you other] Speaker: 00;54;48;16
1

[00:54:53 - wouldn't be as good as they all know.] Speaker: 00;54;51;18
1

[00:54:56 - But do you think an experience like that
prepares you for the next time] Speaker: 00;54;53;10
1

[00:54:58 - that that experience might happen?
Yeah. Yeah, definitely. Like.] Speaker: 00;54;56;04
1

[00:55:01 - And then you. Get out of your. Head.
I was my first time. I've been like,] Speaker: 00;54;58;20
1

[00:55:03 - this is a like.] Speaker: 00;55;02;28
1

[00:55:05 - Like it's not scary.] Speaker: 00;55;03;26
1

[00:55:07 - Like I wasn't scared of the fighters.] Speaker: 00;55;05;27
1

[00:55:08 - Just like the adrenaline.] Speaker: 00;55;07;06
1

[00:55:10 - Like everything just felt big.] Speaker: 00;55;08;24
1

[00:55:13 - Yeah. It explained like like it was my.] Speaker: 00;55;10;17
1

[00:55:16 - I just felt like
it's only been there. It's.] Speaker: 00;55;13;02
1

[00:55:20 - So basically you walked in and everybody's
basically a shit poster on the internet.] Speaker: 00;55;16;13
1

[00:55:22 - Yeah. And none of them liked you.] Speaker: 00;55;20;14
1

[00:55:23 - You just got to roll with that.] Speaker: 00;55;22;20
1

[00:55:26 - There was the big drums.] Speaker: 00;55;23;25
1

[00:55:27 - Just big like.] Speaker: 00;55;26;27
1

[00:55:29 - Oh, holy shit.] Speaker: 00;55;27;24
1

[00:55:31 - Is this online?] Speaker: 00;55;29;21
1

[00:55:33 - Actually, I go maybe online. Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;55;31;08
1

[00:55:34 - I want to see it.] Speaker: 00;55;33;03
1

[00:55:34 - I want to see the look.] Speaker: 00;55;34;00
1

[00:55:37 - I want to see the look at his face, like,] Speaker: 00;55;34;27
1

[00:55:39 - like. An anti Maryland.] Speaker: 00;55;37;14
1

[00:55:41 - I can hear him like the were like,
what would change your day?] Speaker: 00;55;39;03
1

[00:55:42 - I couldn't hear you.] Speaker: 00;55;41;25
1

[00:55:44 - Yeah I, I.] Speaker: 00;55;42;23
1

[00:55:46 - Could hear now it doesn't matter.] Speaker: 00;55;44;01
1

[00:55:49 - Wow. That's incredible that you're doing
that many fights in that in that short] Speaker: 00;55;46;01
1

[00:55:53 - of a period of time and you're just like
wait, what if what if it was. No.] Speaker: 00;55;49;23
1

[00:55:56 - Had, gear?] Speaker: 00;55;53;27
1

[00:55:57 - Would you be able to fight that much?] Speaker: 00;55;56;00
1

[00:56:00 - Yeah, yeah, I was no,
I was no hack you of it.] Speaker: 00;55;57;25
1

[00:56:01 - Oh, shit. Yeah. That's right.] Speaker: 00;56;00;16
1

[00:56:03 - Because he did
that. Hundreds of them over there.] Speaker: 00;56;01;24
1

[00:56:06 - Yeah, yeah.
No I fox everyone in the world opponent.] Speaker: 00;56;03;21
1

[00:56:09 - No. Like like, Is America
the place that uses headgear.] Speaker: 00;56;06;03
1

[00:56:11 - This afternoon?] Speaker: 00;56;10;16
1

[00:56:14 - But I'd say you're the Margam number.] Speaker: 00;56;11;24
1

[00:56:16 - Like, number one's like the Olympic team.] Speaker: 00;56;14;03
1

[00:56:18 - Like the,
like the best in the whole America.] Speaker: 00;56;16;19
1

[00:56:21 - Like, they weren't that they
they would go to, like,] Speaker: 00;56;18;13
1

[00:56:24 - world championships Europeans,
but they can't wear headgear.] Speaker: 00;56;21;16
1

[00:56:26 - So what. The Americans. What? We're here.] Speaker: 00;56;24;28
1

[00:56:31 - No, I've lost a few American like, home
shows like the Olympic trials and stuff.] Speaker: 00;56;26;20
1

[00:56:32 - Yeah, and they don't. War Hague. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;56;31;05
1

[00:56:33 - Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 00;56;32;25
1

[00:56:36 - So it's like, I think it's just like,] Speaker: 00;56;33;18
1

[00:56:39 - the the majority of migrants
would rather not.] Speaker: 00;56;36;21
1

[00:56:42 - They know the would wear headgear
like the.] Speaker: 00;56;39;14
1

[00:56:46 - The other thing that's really bizarre
to me that I brought up a point before.] Speaker: 00;56;42;19
1

[00:56:49 - What's the 2 to 2, big changes.] Speaker: 00;56;46;14
1

[00:56:52 - The other one is in Ireland
for pro fighting.] Speaker: 00;56;49;08
1

[00:56:54 - I can't imagine if I was doing a pro show.] Speaker: 00;56;52;17
1

[00:56:55 - Okay.] Speaker: 00;56;54;22
1

[00:56:56 - And the referee] Speaker: 00;56;55;11
1

[00:57:00 - is the sole decision maker,
and it's a close fight at the Holiday Inn.] Speaker: 00;56;56;07
1

[00:57:03 - And it's a hometown guy in there,
the referee.] Speaker: 00;57;00;18
1

[00:57:05 - There's a lot of pressure.] Speaker: 00;57;03;28
1

[00:57:06 - There in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;57;05;02
1

[00:57:10 - That's the referee's job
for pro fights to to do the winner.] Speaker: 00;57;06;28
1

[00:57:14 - Really? Yeah. Is the referees
a judge. Yeah.] Speaker: 00;57;11;11
1

[00:57:15 - It's up to eight.] Speaker: 00;57;14;08
1

[00:57:18 - Fighters are update rules update
right after eight rounds.] Speaker: 00;57;15;00
1

[00:57:19 - It's not.] Speaker: 00;57;18;07
1

[00:57:21 - So is he the. Only. Judge? Only judge.] Speaker: 00;57;19;07
1

[00:57:23 - So could you imagine
if he was a local guy?] Speaker: 00;57;21;17
1

[00:57:25 - He'd get a lot of beer cans thrown at him.] Speaker: 00;57;23;10
1

[00:57:29 - Even when they. Are, there'll be
a lot of arcades coming out like strong.] Speaker: 00;57;25;08
1

[00:57:31 - Isn't that bizarre?
It wouldn't work in America.] Speaker: 00;57;29;21
1

[00:57:33 - No. Only one guy determining everything.] Speaker: 00;57;31;21
1

[00:57:35 - He says. The referee.
Android's at the same time.] Speaker: 00;57;33;23
1

[00:57:38 - Yeah. That's amazing.
Isn't it a little unfair?] Speaker: 00;57;35;21
1

[00:57:39 - I like.] Speaker: 00;57;38;11
1

[00:57:41 - I just find it
hard to really believe that.] Speaker: 00;57;39;12
1

[00:57:43 - We didn't pay double on the double money.] Speaker: 00;57;41;24
1

[00:57:48 - The other thing that I'm very confused,
I spent a lot of time in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;57;45;10
1

[00:57:51 - Like I learned that,
I have to slow my personality down.] Speaker: 00;57;48;07
1

[00:57:53 - Yeah, that's my Ireland.] Speaker: 00;57;52;08
1

[00:57:56 - Is really that.] Speaker: 00;57;53;28
1

[00:57:57 - Like. Haha.] Speaker: 00;57;56;01
1

[00:58:00 - So the liberty, the golf tennis.] Speaker: 00;57;57;25
1

[00:58:02 - Family eats a 5:00,] Speaker: 00;58;00;12
1

[00:58:06 - car's in charge of taking the dishes off
the table for the stage.] Speaker: 00;58;02;25
1

[00:58:07 - Correct.] Speaker: 00;58;06;06
1

[00:58:08 - Yellow card has a charge of the dishes.] Speaker: 00;58;07;04
1

[00:58:11 - Yep. He's in charge of family
setting the table.] Speaker: 00;58;08;27

[00:58:16 - Think we're missing that here?] Speaker: 00;58;14;28
1

[00:58:18 - Do you think we're missing that
here? Structure. So, yeah.] Speaker: 00;58;16;02

[00:58:22 - I'm sorry. It's so different in Ireland.] Speaker: 00;58;20;03
1

[00:58:24 - Okay. Well, world and culture let's.] Speaker: 00;58;22;21
1

[00:58:25 - I don't think Americans enough.] Speaker: 00;58;24;12
1

[00:58:28 - This brings up on 3000 miles
across the ocean.] Speaker: 00;58;25;25
1

[00:58:31 - They don't have hazelnut cream.

[00:58:35 - I love half and half.
They don't have no creamer whatsoever.] Speaker: 00;58;33;08
1

[00:58:36 - No, because it's gross.] Speaker: 00;58;35;20

[00:58:46 - So but I'm just saying I just cannot
believe how slow and family oriented.] Speaker: 00;58;42;05
1

[00:58:48 - It's a different world over there.] Speaker: 00;58;46;28
1

[00:58:49 - They're back 20 or 30 years.] Speaker: 00;58;48;03
1

[00:58:51 - I don't think they are.] Speaker: 00;58;49;23
1

[00:58:52 - I don't think they're back.] Speaker: 00;58;51;02
1

[00:58:54 - Well, no, they might be on to something.] Speaker: 00;58;52;03
1

[00:58:56 - To what? We. What I think. Okay.] Speaker: 00;58;54;19
1

[00:58:59 - But I just wish I could tell the public
in Scranton and around the world] Speaker: 00;58;56;25
1

[00:59:02 - that these kids are living
a whole different world. Oh, you're basic.] Speaker: 00;58;59;26
1

[00:59:05 - I mean, they're basic, like families.] Speaker: 00;59;02;26
1

[00:59:06 - Kind of good.] Speaker: 00;59;05;10
1

[00:59:08 - Yeah. Family structure
is. Always family strong.] Speaker: 00;59;06;02
1

[00:59:10 - I don't know, like, everyone's,
like sex by each other.] Speaker: 00;59;08;11

1

[00:59:13 - Oh, well.] Speaker: 00;59;12;10
1

[00:59:15 - I don't know if you know this,
but the Irish like to have a lot of kids.] Speaker: 00;59;13;15
1

[00:59:17 - Yeah, but definitely, if I.] Speaker: 00;59;15;28
1

my grandmother, has like 16 brothers] Speaker: 00;59;17;15
1

[00:59:24 - and sisters, like it just never ends like
half after talking to my cousins like.] Speaker: 00;59;21;06

[00:59:42 - You know, it's that.] Speaker: 00;59;41;19
1

[00:59:43 - Shocking to me.] Speaker: 00;59;42;08
1

[00:59:45 - When we talk to people,
I have to say the biggest topic.] Speaker: 00;59;43;00
1

[00:59:47 - And I don't want to go into this
topic too much,] Speaker: 00;59;45;14
1

[00:59:49 - but you carry
two kinds of money in your wallet.] Speaker: 00;59;47;00
1

[00:59:51 - You have two separate moneys.] Speaker: 00;59;49;15
1

[00:59:53 - You have a border. That's why.] Speaker: 00;59;51;07

1

[01:01:54 - I can't say.] Speaker: 01;01;53;18
1

[01:01:57 - I because I can't it's

that like to me.] Speaker: 01;01;57;11
1

[01:02:00 - Right.] Speaker: 01;01;59;18

1

[01:02:08 - Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 01;02;08;04
1

[01:02:11 - And that's really
that would be really strange for us.] Speaker: 01;02;08;20
1

[01:02:14 - It's weird because we just like,
even though we live in Northern Ireland,] Speaker: 01;02;11;05
1

[01:02:18 - like, we even we don't consider ourselves
Northern Irish like we live in Ireland.] Speaker: 01;02;14;02
1

[01:02:20 - So we're we just say Irish.] Speaker: 01;02;18;15
1

[01:02:21 - It's like the tiny force.] Speaker: 01;02;20;20
1

[01:02:23 - You're trying to pull it on you.] Speaker: 01;02;21;25
1

[01:02:24 - Where. The British are.] Speaker: 01;02;23;00
1

[01:02:26 - Yeah, yeah. Like where we're from.] Speaker: 01;02;24;09
1

[01:02:29 - Like they'll be like,
you got one straight to be Irish.] Speaker: 01;02;26;15
1

[01:02:31 - And I, but then.] Speaker: 01;02;29;29
1

[01:02:33 - Then the next it will be.] Speaker: 01;02;31;12
1

[01:02:34 - They all British.] Speaker: 01;02;33;05
1

[01:02:36 - But is it all British people
or is it like a British?] Speaker: 01;02;34;01
1

[01:02:40 - That's like they will be also in the same
like similar people will say like,] Speaker: 01;02;36;16
1

[01:02:43 - definitely table words and stuff,
but like different lingo and] Speaker: 01;02;40;13
1

[01:02:44 - different ways of saying stuff.] Speaker: 01;02;43;13
1

[01:02:45 - But but do people] Speaker: 01;02;44;15
1

[01:02:49 - but do people come from England and just
go, I'm going to I'm going to move here?] Speaker: 01;02;45;28
1

[01:02:53 - No, it's like not British people
that are Catholics consider themselves] Speaker: 01;02;49;26
1

[01:02:56 - Irish, but people that are persons
consider themselves British.] Speaker: 01;02;53;28
1

[01:02:58 - But it's nothing and stuff like that.] Speaker: 01;02;57;00
1

[01:03:00 - Oh yeah. Okay.] Speaker: 01;02;58;23
1

[01:03:03 - And they marked their roads
by flags a lot.] Speaker: 01;03;00;18
1

[01:03:06 - So that's why there was all that
like Catholics first Protestant stuff.] Speaker: 01;03;03;06
1

[01:03:07 - It wasn't really about the religion.] Speaker: 01;03;06;02
1

[01:03:09 - It was mostly about now
it's not about occupation.] Speaker: 01;03;07;13
1

[01:03:12 - Like it's not about like it's it's
more like about the.] Speaker: 01;03;09;23
1

[01:03:15 - Queen's. Occupation. Yeah. Yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 01;03;12;28
1

[01:03:18 - Is there any hope of that
not happening anymore?] Speaker: 01;03;15;07
1

[01:03:19 - Yeah,] Speaker: 01;03;19;05
1

[01:03:21 - yeah.] Speaker: 01;03;20;16

1

[01:10:53 - It was right before 911, and
they wanted me to come up with some ideas.] Speaker: 01;10;50;04
1

[01:10:54 - So I went and I said,] Speaker: 01;10;53;17
1

[01:10:57 - I think we should put me on a billboard
to raise money for the homeless.] Speaker: 01;10;54;10
1

[01:10:59 - And I'll stay in a tent.] Speaker: 01;10;57;17

[01:11:00 - We'll have a thermometer.] Speaker: 01;10;59;00
1

[01:11:04 - We had a little sprint to a phone bank,
and we had a $10,000 monitor.] Speaker: 01;11;00;04
1

[01:11:06 - Each block was $1,000.] Speaker: 01;11;04;15
1

[01:11:06 - Okay.] Speaker: 01;11;06;02
1

[01:11:09 - All of a sudden, all the new stations
set up their live news broadcast,] Speaker: 01;11;06;15
1

[01:11:13 - and I'm up there and I had a song I would
sing on a mobile, the big microphone.] Speaker: 01;11;09;27
1

[01:11:16 - If there's money in the bucket,
bring it up, up, up,] Speaker: 01;11;13;29
1

[01:11:18 - straight a string with a bucket.] Speaker: 01;11;16;25
1

[01:11:21 - And everybody would drive
by, put money in this bucket.] Speaker: 01;11;18;08
1

[01:11:23 - So I lived there for in a tent for a week
and a half.] Speaker: 01;11;21;08
1

[01:11:26 - We up on the billboard. Up
on the billboard. Right here.] Speaker: 01;11;23;29

1

[01:11:33 - To get off to use the bathroom,] Speaker: 01;11;32;22

and and the new stations got wind of it.] Speaker: 01;11;33;29
1

[01:11:40 - So they ran a ticker
tape across the new station.] Speaker: 01;11;37;26

1

[01:14:01 - Yeah. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;14;00;23

[01:14:17 - Probably 530.] Speaker: 01;14;16;02
1

[01:14:19 - Yeah, she's got a lot.
She's a she's an animal.] Speaker: 01;14;17;11
1

[01:14:22 - How old is she? Same.] Speaker: 01;14;19;28
1

[01:14:24 - Probably 19, 19.] Speaker: 01;14;22;01
1

[01:14:25 - 50 fights.] Speaker: 01;14;24;02
1

[01:14:27 - It feels like regardless of,
like a charter.] Speaker: 01;14;25;00
1

[01:14:28 - Your fighters ago.] Speaker: 01;14;27;13
1

[01:14:28 - Yeah.] Speaker: 01;14;28;16
1

[01:14:31 - Because a lot of this is about matchups,
right?] Speaker: 01;14;28;26
1

[01:14:33 - You want to have equivalent matchups?
Yeah. Correct.] Speaker: 01;14;31;07
1

[01:14:35 - That's
why I lasted for years. Great point.] Speaker: 01;14;33;22
1

[01:14:39 - Because I have a great matchmaker
I don't matchmaker, I pay a matchmaker.] Speaker: 01;14;35;21
1

[01:14:42 - And to tell you the truth,
it is a substantial amount of money paid] Speaker: 01;14;39;21
1

[01:14:46 - to make sure that everybody
fights from Ireland to I pay a matchmaker.] Speaker: 01;14;42;22
1

[01:14:49 - Well, help me out. I mean, that's it's
business. Yeah, absolutely.] Speaker: 01;14;46;17
1

[01:14:49 - Can't be doing it.] Speaker: 01;14;49;08
1

[01:14:51 - I let my matchmaker.] Speaker: 01;14;49;28
1

[01:14:53 - I've been with him now eight years.] Speaker: 01;14;51;10
1

[01:14:55 - He has a Rolodex
that you wouldn't believe. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;14;53;12
1

[01:14:57 - And it seems like it works out.] Speaker: 01;14;55;25
1

[01:14:59 - It does,
because we try to. I map it on a chart.] Speaker: 01;14;57;05
1

[01:15:04 - On a computer chart of 60, 40,
50, 50, 70, 30.] Speaker: 01;14;59;26
1

[01:15:05 - I don't like to go 70, 30] Speaker: 01;15;04;06
1

[01:15:09 - because the Ireland teams
used to go to Philly and leave back home.] Speaker: 01;15;05;29
1

[01:15:12 - And not good record like me, right?] Speaker: 01;15;09;16
1

[01:15:14 - You're exactly right. Mixed message.] Speaker: 01;15;12;26
1

[01:15:15 - That's not fair. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;15;14;19
1

[01:15:21 - So I've been running about maybe 60, 40,
you know, 50 to 50 ratio.] Speaker: 01;15;15;17
1

[01:15:22 - Rick. Real close. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;15;21;08
1

[01:15:25 - Everybody's almost even maybe seven
wins, eight.] Speaker: 01;15;22;17
1

[01:15:28 - You know, eight losses or,
you know, right there evenly.] Speaker: 01;15;25;18
1

[01:15:29 - And everybody's been thrilled.] Speaker: 01;15;28;15
1

[01:15:32 - That's why it's my fourth year doing it
because everybody's satisfied] Speaker: 01;15;29;15
1

[01:15:35 - with the matchups.
And the crowd gets to see even fights.] Speaker: 01;15;32;28

[01:16:24 - Yeah,
the biggest thing that people are shocked] Speaker: 01;16;21;28
1

[01:16:27 - is when they see $100,000 is

1

[01:16:35 - I put my own power. Great.] Speaker: 01;16;34;07
1

[01:16:38 - And people are shocked when they walk in
and see all these screens on the walls.] Speaker: 01;16;35;10
1

walkway for the fighters to come in.] Speaker: 01;16;48;05

1

[01:18:18 - they'll be at the right.] Speaker: 01;18;17;20
1

[01:18:22 - Now there's 18 fights at intermission,
I'll throw intermission around 8 or 9,] Speaker: 01;18;18;16
1

[01:18:26 - and then we'll raffle off the Vesper
and we'll wrap up the TVs.] Speaker: 01;18;22;15
1

[01:18:30 - And then after that, the ninth fight,
I'll go into a heavyweight big fight.] Speaker: 01;18;26;11
1

[01:18:32 - This is in my mind right now.] Speaker: 01;18;31;09
1

[01:18:34 - When I go home, I'm laying the card out.] Speaker: 01;18;32;22
1

[01:18:36 - So I tell you, is now
what I'm going home to do] Speaker: 01;18;34;14
1

[01:18:40 - is 10:00 is I like to do a heavyweight
fight with Zack, our local fighter.] Speaker: 01;18;36;07
1

[01:18:41 - That's just an animal.] Speaker: 01;18;40;11
1

[01:18:45 - And then I probably maybe do
Katie or Keith for the 10th fight,] Speaker: 01;18;41;22
1

[01:18:48 - and then JP for the 11th co-main event,] Speaker: 01;18;45;23
1

[01:18:52 - and then, Chahar will be 12 or 13.] Speaker: 01;18;48;28
1

[01:18:56 - There's 18 fights, but people like to get
the middle of the main event.] Speaker: 01;18;52;17
1

[01:18:58 - In the middle of the fight,
I found through my years of career] Speaker: 01;18;56;07
1

[01:19:00 - that the middle of the night
is good people.] Speaker: 01;18;58;22
1

[01:19:03 - I still yeah, I mean, I'll,
I'll hyped up and stuff like that.] Speaker: 01;19;00;16

[01:19:06 - And Now like the MMA,
we have to wait till 2 a.m.] Speaker: 01;19;03;22
1

[01:19:07 - to watch the fight.] Speaker: 01;19;06;10
1

[01:19:10 - Yeah, yeah. So,
and then we'll pick the music out.] Speaker: 01;19;07;08

Fresh John.] Speaker: 01;21;27;06

I worked with Pat for Astro Surf and Turf.] Speaker: 01;21;30;10
1

[01:21:36 - I used to sell.] Speaker: 01;21;35;01
1

[01:21:40 - We used to raffle off a motorcycle
and a jet ski on one trailer,] Speaker: 01;21;36;12
1

[01:21:43 - and I had an antique car
that I flew the shifter on.] Speaker: 01;21;41;02
1

[01:21:45 - It was a 1980 something,] Speaker: 01;21;43;26
1

[01:21:49 - and he had me go to all these bars
that I would do surf and turf raffle.] Speaker: 01;21;45;25
1

[01:21:51 - Oh my God, that's amazing.] Speaker: 01;21;49;15

1

[01:22:46 - And I'm really thrilled to have,] Speaker: 01;22;45;13
1

[01:22:49 - War Horse involved, because we would have
had the best for scooter without them.] Speaker: 01;22;46;25
1

[01:22:53 - That's a $7,000 limited edition
Justin Bieber scooter.] Speaker: 01;22;49;29
1

[01:22:54 - Cool to be raffling off.] Speaker: 01;22;53;05
1

[01:22:56 - You guys going to be driving away
with that that night?] Speaker: 01;22;54;20
1

[01:22:57 - It's ironic to me.] Speaker: 01;22;56;19
1

[01:22:58 - It's the biggest prize.] Speaker: 01;22;57;24
1

[01:23:00 - Drunk saying Chow. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;22;58;21
1

[01:23:04 - So maybe you see it.] Speaker: 01;23;02;18
1

[01:23:05 - So I mean, our prices are good.] Speaker: 01;23;04;10
1

[01:23:06 - It's almost sold out.] Speaker: 01;23;05;25
1

[01:23:08 - But there'll be tickets at the door
in general,] Speaker: 01;23;06;24
1

[01:23:10 - mission will always be out the door,
so I don't want nobody to ever] Speaker: 01;23;08;15
1

[01:23:12 - get the word out there that it's sold out.] Speaker: 01;23;10;29
1

[01:23:14 - They can't come to the show.] Speaker: 01;23;12;19
1

[01:23:15 - There's always room for standing room.] Speaker: 01;23;14;07
1

[01:23:19 - There always be, $30 ticket,
you know, for general missions.] Speaker: 01;23;15;27
1

[01:23:21 - 35, of course, when you get it out
the door.] Speaker: 01;23;19;24
1

[01:23:24 - But, I'm ready to go.
I'm ready to rock and roll out.] Speaker: 01;23;21;18
1

[01:23:27 - I'll be sitting up on Monday and I'm set.
It takes me a week to set up.] Speaker: 01;23;24;06
1

[01:23:29 - I don't sleep for a week
when I come out dancing.] Speaker: 01;23;27;05
1

[01:23:31 - They don't know behind the scenes
that I just.] Speaker: 01;23;29;11
1

[01:23:32 - I can't sleep during a show.] Speaker: 01;23;31;06
1

[01:23:33 - I've never slept.] Speaker: 01;23;32;16
1

[01:23:36 - I just maybe catch an hour or two here
or there, but wow.] Speaker: 01;23;33;15
1

[01:23:38 - Yeah, I live at the hotel from Tuesday on.] Speaker: 01;23;36;03
1

[01:23:39 - It's a big production.] Speaker: 01;23;38;14
1

[01:23:40 - Yeah, it is.] Speaker: 01;23;39;12
1

[01:23:41 - A massive undertaking. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;23;40;01
1

[01:23:44 - And I label every chair
to match your ticket because there's] Speaker: 01;23;41;15
1

[01:23:45 - too many people.] Speaker: 01;23;44;15
1

[01:23:47 - You have 700 people in a small venue
like that.] Speaker: 01;23;45;10
1

[01:23:49 - It can turn into chaos. Yeah.] Speaker: 01;23;47;23
1

[01:23:54 - So I label myself, I label all 700 chairs
myself, you know,] Speaker: 01;23;49;16
1

[01:23:58 - so it's a it's a production,
but a really smooth production.] Speaker: 01;23;54;10
1

[01:24:02 - You will not go where there's any kind of,
you know, I kind of have it in my mind] Speaker: 01;23;58;01
1

[01:24:03 - from A to Z that night.] Speaker: 01;24;02;10
1

[01:24:06 - How it should go now, how they fight,
if they win or lose.] Speaker: 01;24;03;24
1

[01:24:07 - It's up to them. Well, that's.] Speaker: 01;24;06;15
1

[01:24:08 - Up to them.] Speaker: 01;24;07;20
1

[01:24:10 - You know, if I can get my shoe up
and I'll get up in the evening,] Speaker: 01;24;08;07
1

[01:24:11 - like in the other stuff, right?] Speaker: 01;24;10;19
1

[01:24:16 - Hey, I saw that I had a fight once. So.] Speaker: 01;24;13;21
1

[01:24:20 - Is there a website
where people can get tickets?] Speaker: 01;24;17;25
1

[01:24:21 - Yeah, you can go on Facebook.] Speaker: 01;24;20;16
1

[01:24:23 - Too long productions, entertainment.] Speaker: 01;24;21;23
1

[01:24:26 - Or you can go to Douglas
Long or it's all on.] Speaker: 01;24;23;10
1

[01:24:29 - So a lot on social media to get tickets,
but you can get them at the Holiday Inn.] Speaker: 01;24;26;17
1

[01:24:33 - Holiday Inn has great tickets right now
because a lot of people buy online,] Speaker: 01;24;29;25
1

[01:24:36 - but the Holiday Inn has,
first row seats up there.] Speaker: 01;24;33;03
1

[01:24:38 - No one's left in the whole arena.] Speaker: 01;24;36;08
1

[01:24:41 - They have 22 tickets left. How much?] Speaker: 01;24;38;02
1

[01:24:42 - The first row is 45.] Speaker: 01;24;41;01
1

[01:24:44 - The other tickets are 40.] Speaker: 01;24;42;20
1

[01:24:46 - And they have, I think, 14 tickets left.] Speaker: 01;24;44;01
1

[01:24:48 - So the holiday.
And I might have to go up and grab some.] Speaker: 01;24;46;01
1

[01:24:49 - Yeah, you go up and grab em.] Speaker: 01;24;48;11
1

[01:24:50 - There's a front row is still up there.] Speaker: 01;24;49;13
1

[01:24:53 - I don't know if I want
to get spit on my face, but I might go up.] Speaker: 01;24;50;23
1

[01:24:55 - And so who who are you guys fighting?] Speaker: 01;24;53;10
1

[01:24:56 - I don't know how I'm fighting, like.] Speaker: 01;24;55;25
1

[01:24:59 - But you don't know who you're fighting.
Are you kidding me?] Speaker: 01;24;56;24
1

[01:25:01 - Cardinals? I'm like, but I don't.
I don't like when.] Speaker: 01;24;59;23
1

[01:25:03 - I find the guy from new Jersey, so.] Speaker: 01;25;01;27
1

[01:25:04 - But most of all, like,
we just focus on our show.] Speaker: 01;25;03;11
1

[01:25:05 - I was like,] Speaker: 01;25;04;28
1

[01:25:08 - we just feel like we're the best and,
like, we'll be to everyone in front of us.] Speaker: 01;25;05;27
1

[01:25:10 - We train so hard.] Speaker: 01;25;09;22
1

[01:25:14 - Like, why is I like nonstop paragraphs,] Speaker: 01;25;10;15
1

[01:25:17 - like so heavily punched from the bus
next Saturday we'll be too.] Speaker: 01;25;14;12
1

[01:25:19 - Yeah. This focus on ourselves.] Speaker: 01;25;17;12
1

[01:25:21 - I get a little leery
when I have his banners] Speaker: 01;25;19;22
1

[01:25:24 - hanging all through the holiday
and and the fighter rides that day, like,] Speaker: 01;25;21;18
1

[01:25:26 - you know. You're like, oh, thank God
it's real hungry.] Speaker: 01;25;24;14
1

[01:25:29 - And say, I'm here to
to take the king down.] Speaker: 01;25;26;20
1

[01:25:33 - So it gets a little nerve wracking for me
too, because when it's this much hype,] Speaker: 01;25;29;21
1

[01:25:36 - you know,
sometimes he's in a whole different level] Speaker: 01;25;33;11
1

[01:25:38 - when he comes out and, you know,
but he loves that.] Speaker: 01;25;36;00
1

[01:25:39 - He loves he's a unique fighter.] Speaker: 01;25;38;13
1

[01:25:43 - And some fighters get a little
that level of what we have right now.] Speaker: 01;25;39;21
1

[01:25:47 - He is top notch pro level and it could be
very difficult for a fighter.] Speaker: 01;25;43;07
1

[01:25:49 - Sure he does,
but he knows how to digest that.] Speaker: 01;25;47;05
1

[01:25:51 - I don't know,
you might have to ask him to explain, but.] Speaker: 01;25;49;20
1

[01:25:53 - It's the psychology of.
It. It's most of his mental.] Speaker: 01;25;51;20
1

[01:25:54 - Like if he] Speaker: 01;25;53;24
1

[01:25:57 - if you can perform under the lights,
like because no matter] Speaker: 01;25;54;28
1

[01:25:58 - what, it's all about performance.] Speaker: 01;25;57;14
1

[01:26:02 - You can train, you can train your balls
off, like consistently.] Speaker: 01;25;58;18
1

[01:26:05 - But if you can't perform,
you're not going to win.] Speaker: 01;26;02;24
1

[01:26:08 - Like that's a difference where
I always perform like under the lights.] Speaker: 01;26;05;08
1

[01:26:10 - You look at Floyd Mayweather,
you look at the best fighters.] Speaker: 01;26;08;15
1

[01:26:13 - Like they always say they're under the
lights type fighters because they perform.] Speaker: 01;26;10;25
1

[01:26:17 - And when the pressure is on their back,
like whenever the lights are on.] Speaker: 01;26;13;29
1

[01:26:22 - So a lot of boxers fall under pressure
like they don't know what to do.] Speaker: 01;26;17;01
1

[01:26:25 - Once there's a big crowd
and there's cheering going on and stuff] Speaker: 01;26;22;00
1

[01:26:29 - like when there's something on the lane,
the kind of loser people] Speaker: 01;26;26;00
1

[01:26:32 - struggle with, whether they can be class
in the gym, sport and stuff.] Speaker: 01;26;29;01
1

[01:26:35 - But when it comes out of it,
it's completely different.] Speaker: 01;26;32;15
1

[01:26:38 - The fight Satan spawns
two different things.] Speaker: 01;26;35;21
1

[01:26:39 - How much does the energy of the crowd] Speaker: 01;26;38;04
1

[01:26:42 - affect your fighting ability?] Speaker: 01;26;40;28
1

[01:26:43 - It can.] Speaker: 01;26;42;19
1

[01:26:47 - They can change you up like someone
hit you a good shot and hear the crowd] Speaker: 01;26;43;02
1

1

[01:26:55 - Or you need to throw stuff for them.] Speaker: 01;26;52;28

1

[01:27:41 - Is he going to fold.] Speaker: 01;27;40;28
1

[01:27:45 - Is he going to fold everybody to see you
didn't you didn't frickin flinch.] Speaker: 01;27;41;20
1

[01:27:47 - So that's all I can say is this.] Speaker: 01;27;45;24
1

[01:27:48 - Yeah. Poker face. You have to.] Speaker: 01;27;47;23
1

[01:27:49 - You can't do anything else] Speaker: 01;27;48;22
1

[01:27:52 - but a lot of things to use,
like skills, pellet balls, like,] Speaker: 01;27;49;24
1

[01:27:54 - he might have been.] Speaker: 01;27;53;14
1

[01:27:56 - He might
have been physically stronger on me.] Speaker: 01;27;54;18
1

[01:27:59 - You might have been focusing on me, like.] Speaker: 01;27;56;03
1

[01:28:02 - But I'm better boxer like. I've.] Speaker: 01;27;59;18
1

[01:28:04 - It's all about crosses. All people.] Speaker: 01;28;02;20

[01:28:06 - Also, you have to train really hard
because you train smart as well.] Speaker: 01;28;04;11
1

[01:28:09 - Like so I'm a crazy boxer.] Speaker: 01;28;06;20
1

[01:28:11 - Even though I'm a fighter at heart.] Speaker: 01;28;09;09
1

1

[01:28:19 - I do like go down the stretch like I knew

the start the second. Right. But.] Speaker: 01;28;19;12
1

[01:28:25 - And you don't stress like I was a better
boxing in the third round.] Speaker: 01;28;21;28
1

[01:28:26 - And whenever he was calling on them] Speaker: 01;28;25;11
1

[01:28:28 - I was just picking them off the land
catch on the way.] Speaker: 01;28;26;24

1

[01:28:39 - Yeah. Sometimes.] Speaker: 01;28;39;06
1

[01:28:42 - Sometimes a formidable opponent
actually makes you a better asset.] Speaker: 01;28;39;25

location. Yeah, yeah, yeah.] Speaker: 01;28;42;13
