JRE MMA Show #34 with Josh Barnett

boom ladies and gentlemen josh barnett youngest ever ufc heavyweight champion
and now retired uh no not retired just um i'm uh free in the wind i'm like a
bald eagle i'm just
out there riding on that freedom just america just uh uh i decided to leave the
fold of the ufc
and uh chase my my own futures by my own hands are you actively competing or
going to be actively
competing um there'll be some grappling stuff this year but uh i'm figuring by
the start of next year
i'll get back into the mma circuits uh mainly because it's just going to take
some time to set
up camps managers the structure of everything right i have uh proper sparring
partners and all that
and in the meantime we were talking about you're doing commentary for new japan
pro wrestling with
jim ross and you do it on access tv right that's right every friday night at
eight
uh you can see me sit down and and run my mouth about wrestling yeah but uh we
just did a the live
show up at the cow palace in san francisco which they've been having sporadic
uh wrestling events
there but it was a it was a big draw in that building in like the 60s and 70s i
guess so it's
a bit of a historical uh it feels like wrestling pro wrestling is making a renaissance
it's like
making a return yeah i i think that um there's a certain audience of a of a
certain age gap that
our age group that has come into flourishing and into the internet and other
ways to which to to go ahead
and and and bring wrestling back up there and show that wrestling whether it's
the biggest company like
the wwe all the way to say you know number two would be new japan and then
there's all these independent
companies all over the place so that uh some of them have quite a decent
following as well you know
billy corgan from the smashing pumpkins huge wrestling fan he owns what is the
company the nwa the national
wrestling alliance yeah so he owns it's hard nwa is nwa the rap group it's that
too you mean that's what
i hear when i hear nwa i'm sure there's some attitude involved i'm sure there's
attitude uh nwa i can't
speak about the rest of it but uh um nwa was is i guess still it was it's a
legendary um sanctioning
body and so it wasn't any one particular company but it was a um a sanctioning
body that would then
oversee certain titles and so if you're going to be on this show at this time
you're going to defend
the nwa championship the nwa commission would get involved and and they had
their specifications as to
how the title matches would be run and whether or not you could lose by disqualification
or not or if
you know you could go over the top rope would be a dq and a little stuff like
that who did killer
kowalski wrestle for killer kowalski i couldn't tell you do you remember him i
know the name but i don't
really i mean he was a famous famous trainer after the fact oh was he yeah when
i was in high
school probably the nwa guy it was an nwa that's right did we talk about that
with billy i think we
did he was like local cable when i was in high school it was like killing
territory days he had
like a claw he would like grab his own wrist and grab your head or something
like a guy
it's fun eric yeah look at his hand he's got his hand up the claw
it's like there's some nostalgia to it that's one of the reasons why i feel
like it's it's coming back
it's like people who liked it as a kid are now as adults going back to it as a
nostalgia not with the
internet it's it's much easier to go out there and and put product out right
yeah so it makes it
more easily disseminated to any audience who might want to see it especially
with like uh um you know
shows that are abroad like there are some shows that will go on in germany and
austria that will
get streamed and people get a hold of them they get to watch them so it's not
like the tape trading days
of the of yesteryear does jim ross hook you up with his barbecue sauce you know
apparently he's got some
fucking killer barbecue sauce he's got this he's got sauce he's got rubs he's
he's got all kinds of
uh a whole menagerie of all your meat fixings is he a pit master is one of
those dudes does he do the
whole thing with the wood and i don't have a i don't know hickory chips yeah
and then he's got his white
oak on the side one of them guys maybe maybe at least in my mind yeah yeah
there's like two types
of people that use like that barbecue there's people like me that use pellet grills
which is like
infallible you know i use one of those tragers sure it's easy you pour the pellets
in it does all the
work for you but then there's those serious motherfuckers you chop wood and dry
it out yeah they've got
the coleman's that are those old or the uh uh the ones that start with the w uh
the weber grills that
there's just nothing to it other than oh those kettle grills yeah yeah those
are for amateurs bro
they're real serious dudes they get those side those side smokers oh sure you
have like the main
chamber and then you got a little wood box on the side where the the wood's
heating up and then the
the air goes through and it smokes from this that's those people that cook at
like 225 they never let
anything dude i i throw stuff over over gas flames that's right you're one of
those guys i'm a luddite i
i have no business having any any voice in the realm of barbecuing but it seems
like something
you'd be interested in oh i love it you're a man who's into all things manly
this is true and i like
setting stuff on fire and then eating it but do you still drive a manual
transmission all around los
angeles i just drove one today yeah yeah man i just uh i've been driving around
i just got it out of the
shop a little while ago my i have a 75 formula uh firebird but instead of doing
the ls swap which everybody does
and i understand why uh it's got a 455 pontiac in it that we board i had a
board 60 out it's got
forged pistons uh i didn't go with forged rods i didn't need it i think because
well no actually i
did put forged rods in it forged pistons but iron heads dual quads what do you
look at that uh you
know i don't know the the goal was to just make maybe one horsepower per cubic
inch but have well over
500 pound feet of torque that was the idea just and it's it's a automatic
unfortunately yeah yeah
center force gives me and will gives me crap about that all the time why don't
you just get it swamped
out because i like just being able to drive it cut that third hole son cut that
third hole on the
floorboard clutch pedal in there i'm i'm more than down but uh you know hell it
needs paint it needs
interior done you know so that's the burt reynolds car right is that the you
know that's a 77. okay
you're 75 75 so that's a big big circular headlights uh circular headlights
still kind of a square round
off rounded off square for the the center jamie'll pull it up we can pull up 75
firebird and the formula
has the big ram air scoops on it right right the the two right yeah the big snorkels
that come over
the top those are dope there it is yeah so that's the trans am and uh mine's a
formula oh look at that
car i like that yellow one on the right or that uh gray one yeah formula oh so
i've been driving that
around quite a bit and hotchkiss did all the suspension on it uh willwood did
the brakes uh it stops in a
heartbeat that's a nice magnet flow exhaust that's one of the few cars that i
like from 75 like it feel
i feel like everything after 71 is real risky in in a way i mean some of the
the styling lines of these
mid-70s cars i kind of like it in the obnoxiousness of it all but uh and you
know when whatever you get
with these as far as like so this car came with a 400 the one that i bought and
uh it was like seven and
a half to one compressions it was just a total dog people like hey do burnouts
like i wish i don't
wish well that was the year that i mean the years where the gas uh crunch was
on and they started
making these cars gas efficient right well are they attempted to in some way
not to mention they would
um they started trying to incorporate um smog uh elements to try and reduce the
amount of smog these
things but they were just highly inefficient the way they were going about it
with the air stuff and
different processes that were like things connected to the heads and it was
just bad news yeah it
was a rough time for america i know the rare the rare times that that is right
yeah one of the rare
times it was a rough time for cars like from 71 to the 80s all through the 80s
we just made dog
shit cars made some real real real snoozers yeah pontiac was one of the few
that was putting together a decent looking car the firebirds and the transms
and then of course corvette
corvette corvette still had some good looking cars in the 70s they did and
especially because they even
with the low horsepower motors they they're still like cars so you can still
get up there and hustle
yeah and then with even into like 77 78 you had the 6.6 liter the 400 or the 403
i guess by that point in
the pontiacs right now chicks are turning off their radio in mass i don't know
if any any chicks want to
tune in to listen to what i had to say anyway come on bro you're josh barnett
chicks want to hear what
you have to say they want to learn the ways of men the ways of men yes they
want to learn they
there's a lot of fake men surrounding them there are a lot of using signals you
know uh i have a theory
that uh so not that long ago i maybe just a handful of years ago i finally got
like a leather biker style
jacket and like the fonds kind of yeah but and uh oh ray every time you know
what but every time i smack
something electronic it doesn't work better so they're yeah he had a magic
touch bro absolutely
the ladies loved him yeah yeah keeps her dildos in shape but uh he uh all right
so i got this jacket
and i've always wanted one ever since i was a kid and i went to this store in
new york because there was
no there wasn't a location locally where i could just try the jackets on and i
didn't want to buy an
expensive jacket and have to send it but all this stuff so i was in new york
went to the store found the
jacket that fit me loved it bought it been wearing the living crap out of it
taking it all kinds of
places it's been in nasty black metal mosh pits with it on i've been all around
the world with it
i've been in uh far eastern russia a leather jacket is made to tell a story
eventually at the end of its
life right but people will go oh you know do you ride a you ride a bike i'm
like uh no the reason why
i have the jacket is because of mad max and the road warrior because when i saw
that and as a kid
those jackets look badass and you know here's the bronze the the the mfp
running around and
their falcons just tearing ass and blowing up wearing these jackets i want a
jacket like that
but i started to notice that this jacket was everywhere everywhere everybody
everybody was
making a version of this jacket somehow or some way this biker style jacket
guys are wearing it
everywhere chicks are wearing it everywhere and then i'm like oh that's a weird
fashion trend i didn't
really see that coming and then as i started to think about it more and more
and more it seems like
there is a attempt within society to try and present the image of toughness
right so from haircuts to
jackets to all these different kinds of things everyone's trying to appear to
be tough and badass
all the time without but people aren't going out there and necessarily risking
it like they used to
they're not they're not in generally taking on these jobs that are dangerous or
or even just
people want to have muscle cars but they don't want to work on them they don't
want to
it's like by having the item it somehow in implies some sort of character yeah
some sort of toughness
some sort of rugged element to yourself like you know i'm a badass like you've
gone through it
right but yeah you need that jacket you're falling off your bike going 70 miles
an hour and just rolling and
dusting yourself off and yo
