I saw the diamond fight, baby.
And I want to thank everybody for all the DMs and messages I got.
I can't even imagine what Dustin got.
Just being a friend of Dustin's, I got, I got, man, I must have got 4,000
messages congratulating me on that man's victory.
And he's a victory man.
If you saw the, if you saw the fight, you know, he came out with a game plan,
which it just, it showed a lot of evolution of him as a fighter.
I thought this is, you know, there's two ways that I look at Dustin.
I look at him as a, as a friend and somebody that I care about.
And then I look at him as a fighter, you know, so, um, you know, on the
fighting side, I think a lot of people expected him to just come out and be,
you know,
Captain Punchy out there, you know, fucking Benedict Fist's out there.
You know what I'm saying?
Fucking Larry Knuckles out there.
Just bucking the trend, baby, you know, and just hoping for the best.
Um, but he came out revamped.
I mean, he would be a vampire, but with the sharp teeth on the bottom, you feel
me?
He came out revamped.
And he had a plan.
And he executed it, man.
And there was something about him winning.
And I felt this in a lot of people that were, that were cheering him on that
you just felt hopeful.
About stuff in your own life or things in the world.
You know, you felt like, you know, the sun was going to come up tomorrow.
You just felt like that a little.
Um, and I love what his wife said at the, at the end of the fight.
Y'all aren't going to, don't doubt my husband again.
Something like that.
I just, you know, I just, you know, they just have never paid him fair.
They've never paid him fair.
And for him to be there in that hotel for two weeks, and he's looking out and
Connor's out there on that yacht, on that barge.
Connor's owns a damn barge.
You know, Connor's out there just, and I mean, I don't know if he could see it
from his hotel window or not.
But if that doesn't create some determination in you, um, but I didn't doubt
him, man.
I was definitely scared for him because Connor's a lethal man.
He's got that freaking shoulder snake, baby, that, that freaking arm, though.
And his arm is a lot longer than it looks.
Jesus.
You know, his arm, you could row a boat with his arm.
You know, he got a long arm and, um, yeah, it was just amazing, man.
I, I, I, it was just, it just, you know, I was excited for Dustin as a fighter.
I was excited for Dustin as a person as well and about his future and, um, yeah,
it was just, man, I was just elated.
I was literally swinging from the rafters of a bar that we went to to watch it
at.
Like, they had some steel beams, and I'm in there just swinging back and forth
like a chimp.
I actually hurt my neck swinging on it.
So, I've had neck pain, and now I just, you know, I just have more.
Um, but I just, I mean, I thought it was a good fight.
You know, it was a quick fight, but I thought it was a good fight.
I mean, Connor was still landing some blows.
Uh, you know, Dustin was hitting him with those kicks.
I mean, it was just a lot going on.
Man, it was, but I was just, I was, I was just, I was excited.
I was excited, man.
Because I picked the wrong guy a lot of times in fights and, you know, betting
on the colts or different shit like that.
Go to the horse races, you lose, you know, you lose on, you know, you bet on,
you know, $60 on frickin', you know, Donnie's enemy to come in third or
whatever.
Or, you know, whatever it is, starburst enema.
Horses have the weirdest names.
But finally to get, you know, just to get it right.
And I want $1,000 from your boy, Brandon Shopvac.
And here was the funniest thing was, I got a text from Dustin after the fight
and it said, tell Brennan he owes you that, tell Brennan he owes you that money.
That's what he said, man.
Ah.
So, I just can't imagine.
I think also there was a level of just feeling proud of, for Dustin, you know,
and feeling proud for him.
And, yeah, I think there was something about, it was like, man, I can't imagine
how awesome he must feel right now.
You know, just how proud of himself, you know, just how proud of himself he
must feel and just how, just deservant.
You know, you know, you finally, I mean, damn, his experience with the UFC
seemed like he's the one, he goes up to the ATM and he's got to put in money.
And finally, it comes out and, you know, I think, you know, I think he's transcended
the sport and, you know, I've told him that.
And I'm excited to see his future, I'm excited to see what he does inside of
the ring and then outside of the ring.
I think on the fighting side, it's interesting, how do you figure out who he
fights next?
Because, you know, if you go for the Conor trilogy, that's right there, but he
just beat him.
And it's been five years since the last one.
Like, you know, I agree with Dustin that Michael Chandler, who I love, Michael
Chandler's, and I hope to have him back in here soon.
And, um, but he, he should have to fight more guys.
I mean, I understand Dustin's point of view, you know, uh, man, I felt bad for
Dan Hooker.
I really liked Dan Hooker.
He seemed like a really cool guy.
Um, I also thought the whole way the fight came together was amazing.
You know, um, Conor McGregor's Irish man.
He's an Irish man and I love Ireland, you know, shout out Dublin.
You feel me?
And shout out Scotland as well, man.
You know, and Scotland is just drunk Ireland.
Let's be honest.
And, um, and I, you know what?
I thought that, I mean, you know, the whole thing kind of started if I, and I,
and I may be wrong, but it started as a charitable thing.
Conor and Dustin were going to fight for charity to raise money for their
charities.
And then UFC saw that and got involved, you know, um, and, and so the whole
thing started from a place of charity.
I thought that Conor was, was, you know, he's a businessman now.
I mean, he's got to wake up the next day and do business.
He's got, you know, he, there's a difference when you go from being an athlete
to, to the owner of the gym.
You're doing two different things.
It's two different brains.
And I'm not saying that Conor's not still one of the greatest fighters of all
time.
I believe it is.
I mean, I just watched all of his fights in the past month.
Um, I remember after I watched all of his fights, literally I texted Dustin.
I said, Hey man, where's your, how's your, how's your head, man?
Are you, how you feeling?
You know, I was scared.
Dude, I hurt my neck.
I hurt my neck watching the fight.
That's how excited I was.
Um, but no, I thought that kind of was a class act and I thought that Dustin,
you know, I'm
just obviously glad that he won and there's just no, you know, he can't, there's,
you can't
deny him anymore.
And I felt his angst after the fight.
You could feel his angst, you know, he's angst it out.
And yeah, he just said being there for two weeks and, you know, at a certain
point if,
if, uh, Dana, whatever the man's name is, Dana Wallace or whatever, I don't
know what
his name is, but Dana, uh, if big Dan at a white money man, if he doesn't, if
you don't
treat your employees well enough at some point, then they, they're going to
lose the desire
to work with you.
And I, I'm just, look, I don't know.
Also, I don't know anything.
She may be listening to this saying, man, Theo doesn't know anything and you'll
be, and
you, you would be right.
But I, I, I just, you know, you gotta, you gotta pay your employees.
You gotta pay them.
You gotta want them to ride while you ride.
And I think people could say, well, you know, Connor's the one that sells the
tickets and
this and that.
And some of that's fair, very fair.
You know, what Connor's done for that sport is amazing.
And, and I'm new to the sport.
I don't know that much, but I think you're in the place now where you have to,
where you,
you want to pay the man, you know?
And I think that, you know, who was James J. Braddock?
Where was he from?
Oh, he's an American boxer.
Well, I think you got a new James J. Braddock, man.
That's what it felt like.
The hot sauce balls, baby.
That's Cinderella man himself.
Dustin the Diamond Poirier.
And, and you know, we love him here, but I was ecstatic, man.
I was so, so, you know, I was, I was kind of bummed for Connor.
I mean, you know, I don't like to see the people lose.
I want, I wish at the end every, you know, everybody kind of won.
But, uh, but yeah, I watched it here in the central East, man.
And they all, you know, Michael Chenna lives here.
And so they were going bononkers for him.
And his wife came back.
She went home and watched it and then came back to the bar after.
And she was, uh, they were all cheering when she came in.
And it was pretty cool.
Um, but yeah, it was, it was just a hopeful time.
There was something hopeful about it.
There was something exciting about it.
Especially at a time when big business is winning everything.
It feels like in the little man has been knocked down.
And then you see, uh, a man like Dustin, who's not a little man, but you see
him say, Hey, not today.
Not on my watch.
Um, and I'm, you know, I'm done fanboying, but I was, you know, I was just, uh,
I was stoked for him.
The guy's been on quite a journey and he, and he has to prove himself every
time.
And I think a lot of us can relate to that journey of con of just constantly
having to prove ourselves.
So, man, but it was definitely exciting.
I'm just sitting on your front porch, wondering how could I be so far from my
home.
And my mind is somewhere else.
But when I find it, I'll patch up where it's been blown.
