JRE MMA Show #4 with Justin Wren

3, 2, 1.
Justin Wren, ladies and gentlemen.
Come on.
Hello, fella.
With the silky hair and the beautiful beard.
Oh, thank you so much for having me.
My pleasure, my brother.
How's things?
Man, things are good.
Things are really good.
I mean, last night getting to go to the comedy store for the first time and
seeing all those
legends and just being in a legendary atmosphere.
I mean, it was seriously an incredible time.
It's a fun place, right?
Yeah, I mean, and you had us rolling, so it was really fun.
I got to see Brendan and Brian Callen first, and then you, and so it was just
hilarious.
Did you get to go to the upstairs room as well, or did you go to the two
downstairs rooms?
Was that where you were?
No, I was in the belly room.
The room was upstairs.
Brendan and Brian were in the main room.
I was there?
I was in the original room, which is the front room.
And that was in the original?
Yeah.
So I didn't get to go to the top.
Tonight I'll show you the top.
It's a bizarre little place.
There's three comedy clubs in one place.
Yeah, it was awesome.
Yeah, it's fucking great.
Yeah, walking around, seeing all the history, seeing everyone get amped.
And then being able to be that close to the comedians, too, is pretty awesome.
I mean, being able to meet them, say hi, and just you're in arm's distance from
them.
So really unique.
If anyone hasn't gone, I suggest going because it was awesome.
Yeah, I think Chappelle has filmed his Netflix special, his next one.
He did there.
In the belly room.
In the belly room, yeah.
I watched him work one of them out.
I don't think he was filming then, but I'm not sure.
It comes out soon, right?
Does it?
I think they weirdly announced that it comes out this month, I think.
Whoa.
I'll double check on that real quick, but I think so.
That might be the case because it's so small.
There's probably not a lot of camera angles.
And I know he filmed a lot of shows.
So maybe he just wants to just get one of them perfect and then throw it out
there.
But he had a lot of really topical material, real current material.
Was it smaller than the room that you were in last night?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Even more into it.
Not even half the size.
Wow.
Yeah.
See, that's incredible.
December 31st?
That's crazy.
I don't have a video here, but this is equanimity is what it's called.
Nice.
It was funny, man.
It was really funny.
And seeing him in that tiny little room, like there were 70 people in the room.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
They did get more in there sometimes, but don't tell the fire department.
You fucking shouldn't.
Speaking of fire department.
Oh, man.
It's crazy out here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, I've seen that video you posted on your Instagram.
Yeah.
It seriously looks like Armageddon.
Yeah, it's from Barstool Sports.
If anybody wants to go to their Instagram page, somebody put up a video of last
night driving
up the 405.
Gosh.
It's the craziest thing you'll ever see.
It's the entire mountain.
What's crazy is that's Bel Air.
I mean, that's like a really ritzy area.
They have super expensive houses, and that fire is just raging towards them.
It's right near the Getty Center.
And apparently what they're calling this is a dry hurricane.
Wow.
So I don't live in California, and I'm not a homeowner yet, but does homeowner
insurance
cover all that, or do you have to have extra fire insurance?
That's a very good question, and I don't know the answer.
Yeah, because my family was in Hurricane Katrina, because they had hurricane
insurance, but they
didn't have like wind insurance.
And so the insurance companies would say-
Wait the fuck a minute.
Yeah, or flooding insurance or something like that.
It was whatever you didn't have, you would get one and not the other.
And so then whatever you didn't have, that's what the insurance company would
claim.
Well, you didn't have this, and that's what you should have had.
Oh my God.
And so people were losing tons of money, their whole homes.
My family lost a whole roof off their house.
Oh, these are monsters.
Yeah, and so that's what I'm wondering.
Like, okay, you have homeowner insurance, but do you have fire insurance, and
are they
going to cover that, you know, if that's Bel Air and that's million-dollar
homes, hopefully
they have the right insurance.
Well, I'm sure some people have fire insurance.
I know it's a thing, just like hurricane and flood insurance is also a thing,
but-
Do they have fire hurricane insurance?
It's a good question.
Well, yeah, right?
This is a fire hurricane.
It's not just a hurricane.
Well, they're calling it a dry hurricane, meaning there's no wind.
Or there's no water, but it's hurricane gale force winds.
Gale force?
I don't know if that's right.
Hurricane force winds, technically.
Not like, you know, Katrina.
In my hotel, I mean, the wind was just ripping all last night, and I didn't
know that there's
those fires out there.
I mean, that's crazy.
Yeah, it's insane, man.
Where I live, I was evacuated twice.
Oh my gosh.
Yeah, twice in the early 2000s, where the fire got so close, it was within a
mile of my
house.
And, you know, when it hits and the wind goes, it can take over.
Like, it can just run.
They said that the fires that they were having in Northern California were
going through an
entire football field every six seconds.
Oh my gosh.
That's mind-blowing.
Fuck, man.
Wow.
Just imagine watching that.
Watching fires just cut through a football field 100 yards every six seconds.
Yeah, it's almost like those clouds when the storms are rolling.
Yeah.
You know, you're just watching those go by.
A lot of people died in those Northern California fires, too.
They just got stuck.
There's nowhere to get out.
And they apparently, like that whole Napa area is, have you ever been up there?
No.
Damn, before the fires.
I don't know what it looks like right now, but God, it was beautiful.
It's where they do all the winemaking.
And we actually went turkey hunting up there, me and Brian Callen.
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Steve Rinella took us up there, and we were up there, and we were like, God,
this is so
gorgeous.
But it's like semi-rural, but then a big tourist vacation destination, too.
It's like people come there for those wine-tasting things and everything.
Apparently, a giant chunk of that part of the state just got lit up.
And when you go turkey hunting, are you using a bow, or are you using a shotgun?
Shotguns.
This was for the meat-eater show.
So do you have to go for their heads?
Right.
So that's nuts.
Because you can't hit their body, or it goes everywhere, right?
Well, then you have to pull out all the lead, which when people shoot smaller
birds, like
pheasants and things along those lines, you do shoot the entire body.
But with the turkey, you're basically sitting still, and you call them in.
You make this little, you get this little sound thing in your hand, or you have
one
in your mouth, and you make little turkey calls, and the turkeys come in and
just blast
them in the head.
Or you shoot them in the body with a bow.
I know my friend John Dudley and a lot of those guys, they hunt with bows, and
they shoot
turkeys with a bow.
But it's tricky, because a turkey's a goddamn dinosaur.
And if you don't hit it in the right spot, they'll just fly away with an arrow
sticking
out of them.
Wow.
Literally.
Wow.
Something that kills a deer, go right through a turkey, and the turkey's like,
bitch, I'm
out of here.
Like, you have to catch them, and they're vitals.
And they're vitals, or you literally are shooting an arrow at a softball from,
you know, 40 yards.
Yeah.
So you might not hit it.
Well, man, seeing this new space is awesome.
I mean, this is an incredible new studio.
And seeing that your targets are up there, you got, what, 48, 46?
47 yards.
47 yards.
Indoors, yeah.
But when you come back, man, we'll have a full gym.
You'll be able to work out and the whole deal.
Yeah.
No, that's awesome.
Dude, after you watched the UFC and you saw Francis Ngannou, did you see if you
could
make 205?
That's...
I think a lot of people did.
Oh, my gosh.
A lot of people were like, I could make 205.
I think it's totally possible.
I've always been against it, but now I'm thinking about it.
No.
Just kidding.
But, man, he is a monster.
He's terrifying.
A monster to see how far he sent over him's head was just backwards in that one
photo.
That's like an iconic, that's probably the most iconic, at least in my mind, or
epic heavyweight
fighting, MMA fighting photo that there is.
I mean, with that head...
I think so, too.
...knocked back that way.
And, I mean, it just looked like such a power...
I mean, it was a powerful punch, but the timing of that shot was just
incredible.
You see that one where his head is just completely knocked back?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's a scary, scary dude.
I put that one on my Instagram feed, too.
That picture seems like the coming of the new king.
You know what I mean?
Like, obviously, he's got to beat Stipe Miocic, but if you want to, like, look
at a picture,
like, in history, when you come back and go, this is the moment where Ngannou
arrived.
And people realize, like, holy shit.
Like, this guy is for real.
He didn't just do that to any guy.
He did that to Alistair motherfucking Overeem.
K-1 kickboxing world champion.
Yeah.
Strikeforce world champion.
Just a stud.
Like, elite fighter.
Yeah.
Number one heavyweight contender.
Yeah.
Well, you and Brendan were talking about it last week on the show.
Yeah.
And to hear you guys saying, if he starches him, and if he can, if he can prove
himself,
and it's like, man, he just did it the best way possible.
And the way he did it, it's like the whole world's noticing.
Like, I saw it on CNN.
I saw it on all these different websites, and they're just, everyone's just raving
like
he could be the next big thing.
And I think that's going to put him on the map.
Now that everybody knows, and they have this highlight reel of his knockouts
now.
Yeah.
And so the advertiser fight between him and Stipe, I think it's going to be
gigantic.
Yeah.
I think it's going to be huge.
I've been able to talk with Stipe's coach, and there's a potential I was going
to go out
and help him in this training camp.
So hopefully that still happens.
My schedule's kind of crazy, but hopefully I can get up there for a week and
sneak up there.
Yeah.
I'm happy for Stipe to get a big fight.
Yeah, for sure.
And if he wins against Ngannou, I mean, that is just gigantic.
That would be absolutely phenomenal.
If there's a guy that can do it, I think it's Stipe for sure.
Well, he's the champ.
Yeah.
He's the champ for a reason.
Yeah, definitely.
But he's got a lot of work to do.
Yeah.
He's so big.
Got to weather that storm and put him up against the cage, wear him out, pummel.
I mean, just get really heavy on him and tire him out.
Yeah.
Take him into deep waters, put him on his back.
We've got to remember, Overeem did get him up against the cage.
Yeah, that's true.
Overeem lunged at him, clinched with him, got him up against the cage, but
couldn't do
a goddamn thing with him.
Yeah, that's true.
I think a little difference is Stipe having that all-American wrestling
background.
What?
This is crazy.
He's opening up as the betting favorite over the heavyweight champion, Stipe Miocic.
I mean, this is amazing.
I mean, I get it.
I understand.
But that is pretty incredible that he's the betting favorite.
Yeah, I guess if you just look at his comment, do MMA math or so, but the
common opponent
with them and Overeem and how they both performed against him.
Yeah.
Well, Overeem did catch Stipe and had him stunned and knocked him on his ass,
and then
Stipe came back and won.
But, you know, he's going to be obviously super aware of how dangerous it is to
connect
with Ngannou.
He's going to obviously try to stay on the outside, and when he closes the
distance, close
the distance, get that clinch, get him up against the cage, and figure out some
way to either
get that guy down or wear his legs out or do something.
We don't know wh
