- The Joe Rogan experience.
- Yeah, boxing, you guys, it's corrupt.
So he's about 16 and 0.
And the guy could box, man.
I've seen him put work on UFC fighters.
Like I've seen him spar like Bellator champions.
The guy does work.
So we did like a no time limit, 40 minute boxing,
just whoever quits.
- Oh, Jesus Christ.
- Yeah, just 'cause we're just bored, you know?
- The CTE special.
- Oh, fuck yeah, dude, fuck yeah.
So it's kind of funny.
He was actually going through some like personal shit
and he beat me, he beat me that day.
But I was hitting him, I was like, dude, you just like,
there's something like, there's something with you right now.
And after we get done boxing for like 40, 45 minutes,
he starts telling me his personal issues.
I'm like, oh, fuck yeah, dude, you were ready to die today.
That makes sense.
I feel, I'm about to go for a hike with my girlfriend, bro.
You're contemplating fucking life here.
Yeah, yeah, you win, dude, you fucking win.
- That's like when Buster Douglas fought Tyson.
You know, Buster Douglas's mom died.
And Buster Douglas had always been like that really talented guy
with a wicked jab who just didn't apply himself,
like many really talented guys.
And then for that camp, he just went fucking full in.
- Yeah, some guys, some guys, dude, when they have that,
like, I mean, fuck, even walking, even sometimes me,
when I walk out, like, I gotta tell myself like, dude,
you are a fucking loser.
Like, like you are a fucking, you don't belong here.
Like, just go on there and kill this motherfucker.
You know, like, I always joked.
You always had, like, I had a teacher tell me in like seventh, eighth grade.
One of the, one of the few years I went to school, she, I think it was like,
her name
was like Miss Wajda, I don't know, history or some shit.
She looked at me.
She said, Sean, you're the reason, you're the reason why they build prisons.
- Oh Jesus Christ.
You're a little kid.
Can you imagine that?
- Nah, dude, but she, she fucking nail on the fucking head, dude.
Like I was a fucking shit bag, you know?
- Right.
But shit bags can grow up and become actual men.
It's totally possible to dismiss a kid at that early an age.
- No, dude, but life is strange, man.
Like, like they do very good at isolating shitty people.
So, I mean, I mean, like when I was in elementary school, I was homeschooled in
like third, fourth
grade till, till like, you know, seventh grade, I went back to school and then
they spotted
me right at the back.
Like, oh, this guy's a problem.
He's a shit bag.
Like, and they'll, so they isolate you.
They put you in like a school where they start two hours later and you end an
hour early
because they, they, they got to isolate you high school, the same shit went to
a continuation
school.
So society, like they do well at saying, Hey, this kid is going to be a problem.
We just got to like, he's like cancer.
We just can't let him infect other people.
Let's fucking put them away.
And then you go again, then you get older and you just go to jail.
Same shit.
- But it's funny that those kids, a lot of those kids, they can do things.
They just need a direction.
They need something.
Social arts is the best thing for those kids.
Every one of them.
When people say, what's the best thing about bullies or best thing rather to
deal with bullies,
like teach them how to fight.
- Yeah.
- You teach bullies how to fight.
They're not going to want to be beating people up there.
If you teach them how to train with real people, they're not going to be doing
that.
- Man.
I always say like MMA, like even like soldiers with PTSD, that's like, you know,
I mean,
I have a little bit growing up, like just not even know what the fuck beat.
I always thought like, it sounds fucked up, but I've always like, when you hear
like soldiers
talking about PTSD, I'm like, you fucking pussies.
Like, this is how I was when I was a kid.
- Right.
- Like, well, you know, at 20 years old, like, you know, I, I can't go in
public or I can't
sleep at night.
I have like, I'm like, what the fuck's wrong with you?
Fucking pussy.
Like, give me a gun.
I'm in the fucking head right now.
I don't give a fuck.
But then I realized that like me, I grew up so fucked up that that was my way
of life.
But I couldn't imagine being a normal motherfucker, just being a normal guy,
trying to fuck the
high school prom queen, going to parties and all of a sudden you turn 24 and
then like the
veil was lifted and you're like, who the fuck am I?
So like, once I kind of realized that I had a lot more respect for him, but you
know,
what I was going with that is like training, man, if you guys, if you guys have
some fucked
up issues, some demons, man, like train and a lot of people that train are
fucked up.
So it's like, yeah, there's good, like brothership, this bond.
Yes.
