0:00 Conor McGregor's in Al Salvador talking to Boulli, the president. Wow. To try to figure out how to bring a Bitcoin reserve to Ireland. For a second, I thought you were going to say they were going to do a duet together. I was like, "Yes, yes." I can't wait. They're coming with the album. And welcome back to another amazing episode of the Careful Boys where we are blessed to have Mr. Ron Skull Dang, world champ. He's our mirror. He's our champ. He's our champ. He's our mirror. Hey dude, let's catch up with you, dude. How you doing, man? Doing good. Life is wonderful. I uh thought if you guys haven't been a while, so I was like, "Hey, Bart, can I go on podcast?" He's like, "Yeah, two weeks." I said, "K." That's cool. He came to us cuz usually we have to beg people to come on the show. What? Thanks for still coming on the show. Who's the last person you
0:50 begged and they didn't come? Ooh, call them out. I feel like every week he begs somebody and then they don't come. Let me see. I feel I have records. He has records. Did we see you after you ran for mayor? We did. I think we did. And you told us the aftermath. Did I? Not on the show. I don't remember. Maybe in person, but on the show. I don't remember. Oh, maybe. I'm thinking about the Christmas party. I think we saw you at the Christmas party. Maybe we should talk about that experience because it's not every day you run for mayor. You already debriefed us on that on camera. Yeah. Okay. Duh. Don't probably sitting here, too. Shoot. I don't even remember. There was a time Joe wasn't here though. I don't know. I only have one absence a year. My attendance is the best. This is why everybody should go on the JK News show. H how about this? Um and you shouldn't
1:40 have to beg because remember when Matt Kim came here, right? Um super awesome dude. Um really good views and stuff like that, great following and whatnot. We linked up because of JK News and when I ran my uh mayor campaign, he came to speak at my gym. and we had like a billion people show up. Um, and he spoke at my gym um about current issues that people are dealing with in the in the country, in the world and stuff like that. And that wouldn't have happened if I didn't go on JK News and he didn't go on JK. Sick collab. I like that. That's so cool. You run. If they reach out to you, why aren't you on here? And they're really nice. That's cool. No, a lot of people come on the show and then they they go, "Well, I got to film for like 5 hours. ████ that." Isn't that what podcasts usually are? 1 hour. No, most most people I ask come on and then and then usually if they come on once,
2:30 they're down to come again. It's the ones that are I think are already Hollywood and then they're kind of flaky. They're the ones that don't come. Oh yeah, I already know to clear my day. Yeah. Yeah. Just in case cuz uh what's not on camera is we go on walks and it's a walk where you just walk and then for whatever reason there's random stuff that happens. And today there were two na ladies in thongs doing a photo shoot. at the spot where we did the Christmas party. Yeah. Really? Yeah. They're just outside photo studio. Yeah. They were doing a photo shoot and then when we walked by Hey, honestly, this guy was locked in talking about real estate, so he really I was listening. He really wasn't listening. If you buy a house from him, it comes with a TV. It's pretty cool. I don't even sell houses. I don't know what it was, but he sold us. We're in I I You sold a You bought a
3:20 house from him. No. Should I Is there a promo code? I actually thought about like, oh man, should I get like a real estate agent's license, but I think it'll take the fun away from it. I heard it's a little tough in Vegas right now. There's a lot of inventory. I heard they There's more inventory than usual. That's nationwide. I heard buyers market. Yeah, you're not you're not phased by it. You're just like, yeah, whatever. We've seen this before. You know, I've seen these cycles before. That's what people that know the game cycle. Yeah, we've seen this before. I'm like, what are you talking about? Bar likes real estate. Even his favorite porn is real estate agents. Is it? It's the hottest one. They're like when they're about to sign the deal, they're like, "What can I do to sign this deal?" They go, "If I suck your dick, can you replace the water heater?" Like, I already came, dude. It's just the water heater. They need to up their personal value. So sad. Speaking of water heaters, we heard
4:11 you're getting ready for a fight. Yeah. Let's go. World title, right? One only fights world titles. Are you challenging or are you No, some dude's trying to take it. Um, so you're going to defend your title again? Yeah, I got to defend it again. Who's this fell? And I forgot his name. Good. Um, but he's supposed to be really good and, uh, he's ranked number three in Mexico. Wow. Um, he's really tall and he likes elbows and stuff. So, uh, we're strategizing on how to destroy. I have a question. So, let's say like you have an undefeated title, but at one point you're going to not want to fight anymore. Yeah. So, what happens to the title? You have to give it up. Yeah. I have to relinquish it. Yeah. Vacate it. And then it's up for grabs for the next and then So, who's going to be the one that gets to challenge for the the top two contenders? The top two fresh contenders. Sky knows game because
5:01 they're up here. That's what top two is. How did they get here? Yeah. Who the hell? They beat the top three in the four 8765. They beat each other. There's usually a top ranking. Yeah, they beat each other. Beat each other on, beat each other off. How many people are under you in this pyramid? All nine of them. How many candidates can are at the level where they can challenge you? That's a good question. Technically, you don't have to be ranked. So, if you ever watch like even the UFC, why the f did they get a title shot, right? They're not ranked. Yeah. like someone dropped out or something. Yep. Or just opportunity marketing. Uh at the end of it, all sports is still sports entertainment and it's still about drawing viewership. So Jake Paul can still challenge he can fight Mayweather. He can fight a Tyson um and fight you call it an exhibition match. I like
5:52 Michael Chandler. He lost like four in a row and he still gets fights. Mhm. Cuz he's very popular. But even if it's exhibition, he's really fun to watch, I guess. Yeah. I'd still want to watch him fight. He's hella fun to watch. So you got to get beat up and you're like the poor guy. And he jumps on his back with no technique. Maybe we get him on the podcast and talk about food. Michael, please come on. Please and also don't hurt us. I got Ron to back me up, dude. Mike, I'm such a big fan. Please. I'm more of a watcher. No, Ron, you got to defend my honor. Even if it's exhibi exhibition though, can they hit your tit? Can they take your title? Unless the title is on the line. Yeah, it's a sideshow. And that's what those those YouTube fights were. They're they're sideshows. They have no bearing on a lot of them weren't even pro fights. So whether you won or lost, it didn't affect anything. Um it was just a spectacle. But that's not like part of the real rankings. There's money to be made. How did how did you find out that this person was like challenging you?
6:43 Oh, the promoter tells me. So in fighting, it's like a like same as a musician, right? You're a music artist, there's venues, and then there's promoters. Uh these promoters are in charge of putting the shows together, matching up the artists, and then having them perform. So, literally, it's just like being a regular artist. I see. I assume it's the same if you're dancing. Um, there's promoters, performers, and venues and stuff like that. And if you don't sell tickets, they don't care how many back flips you can do. Um, they're not going to book you anymore. So, just like Ben Ascrin, right? Probably one of the best fighters at that time. But nobody cared. Oh, who's the recent uh blah Yeah. Right. Yeah. No one cares about Nobody cared even though he's so gifted and so good. But because he's not popular, they got ecstatic when a random dude beat him up. Yeah. You know, um, and it sucks. Life is a popularity contest at the end of the day. We learned that in high school. Yep. I
7:34 thought high school was going to be over. It keeps going. Nothing has changed. I'm still getting wedgies. So, like when uh when do you when did you find out about the fight and agree to it? And then like from there, how much time do you have until the fight? So, there's the normal route and then there's people that get special treatment. So like uh Conor McGregor's he doesn't have to defend his title ever, right? Or when he had it, you know, he could technically Yeah, because he's titleless now, right? Yeah, he's titleless. Yeah. What happened? But he's he's bigger than the title now. Like his name is so big. He's too big. Yeah. He doesn't care. He's just his own brand now. He's Roadhouse, you know. He's Roadhouse. He's Roadhouse. Freaking crazy. After he got beat up, he lost it forever. Yeah. But he's doing he's doing just fine. He's doing just fine. He has a Lamborghini boat. He's politician now. Yeah. Yeah. He's trying to be president. Do you see what he Jason Chen sent me
8:24 this? This is Conor McGregor's in El Salvador talking to Boulli, the president to try to figure out how to bring a Bitcoin reserve to Ireland. Wow. That's That's actually kind of crazy. He's doing some gangster. They're like Connor's doing what? I thought he was coked out for a second. I thought you were going to say they were going to do a duet together. I was like, yes, yes. I can't wait for the cover of the album. We are the world part. That'll be a good good crowdfunding event, dude. Backstreet Boys cover with Conor McGregor and Jason freaking I'm just uh asking for you specifically like when did you find out about the the fight? So I've been trying to make this happen for like the past like year. Really? So last year you've been trying to make it happen. You're like come challenge me. Come challenge me. Yeah. It's uh you know for me I've been fortunate I don't have to fight. I'm fighting cuz I want to and it makes me happy. Wait, are you So you you chose the guy. You want to fight that guy or you want to defend? Oh I wanted I wanted to defend a title.
9:14 Yeah. like, "Hey, it's time." Oh, cuz I'm in also in a fortunate spot where I don't really have many contenders knocking at the door. Um, and so I was like, "Hey, it's time. Can you find somebody?" So like America, there's nobody that wants a challenge for the title. Really? Yeah. Why is that? Cuz I beat so cool. That was cold. That was the coldest. I'm sitting next to this guy. You know, he's defending my honor, dude. At what point will you say I'm retiring? Is it an age thing or is it just like It's uh It's a It's a loaded Well, it's funny you say that because this next fight may be my last fight. What? Yeah. Today's video is brought to you by Chubbies.

What What makes you like what do you feel that makes you say that? uh next phase of life, you know, initially it was like, hey, I'm going to keep fighting until I till I lose, you know, if I keep beating everybody, why not why keep why stop? And I'm 39, about to turn 40, you know. Uh but now all my partners and other my mentors are talking to me.
11:46 It's like, hey, how long do you actually want to do this? Cuz now that I'm middle of the camp, I'm realizing how much time it's taken away from friends and family, which I worked really hard these past 5 years to get. And then on top of that, now it's it's affecting my business. I've been gone. I've been not as involved in my my gym for the past like month and we lost like 10 members. I was like and for a small business that's huge cuz are they like Ron's never here anymore. I'm going to a different gym. But is it one of those someone literally said that really a I came here for you. Is it one of those longer investment plays though? Because like at the same time, when you go and you successfully defend your title, it's also like, dude, the champ is back in this gym. So maybe that'll bring 20 more people, you know? And that's why this fight's also important cuz I'm torn cuz yes, we have world champions at the gym, right? And they're like, "Okay, but everybody assumes I'm retired cuz they haven't
12:36 seen me. Nobody ever sees me train. They only see me like do random stuff." Or you're the I used to bench 400 guy at the gym. Like sure, I haven't seen you bench 400 now. I could, you know, throw football over their mountains. Touchdowns in one game. Yeah. Good reference. Do you know what that is? So, what? He's getting married with children. All right. Good. Good. This is what we should do. We're friends. We're going to bet on your last fight and on the second round you're going to take a fall. Yeah. Not illegal at all. Yeah. Allegedly. Allegedly. Allegedly. Good luck when you run for mayor again, too. Yeah. Yeah. Especially that. That's crazy. Like you, Pacquiao, Connor, it's like fight become champions, go to
13:26 politics. And then it's also like eventually maybe come back and do karaoke. Yeah. Dude, Pacquiao's fight coming back. Definitely. He's like 20 years older than the other guy, right? Oh, yeah. He's coming back. I think the tough part is cuz once you're in competition, I don't think it's just fighting. If you're in sports and you compete and then you don't do it, you miss like a piece. Like do you miss like Oh, you still dance though. Oh, like the fire, huh? Like some sort of like fire. Competition dance is different. Yeah. Do you miss competing? Um uh I'm no because the lifestyle for that is like ████ a piece of ████ But uh what I do miss though that the fire there is there is a fire there that's totally different. How do you know when the fire is gone? I don't want to do it anymore. M you know if I ever wake up like you know what I don't want to train or I don't want to fight or you just don't care. Yeah. Or I don't care if I win it. Like this fight I everything's on the line. Like if I
14:17 lose. So you really care about this? Oh yeah. Of course, dude. I guess my fire is gone. I have uh I have the Avengers team for my team right now. It's freaking sick. Who's your team? My uh So Captain America. I pretty much I I am all all the ethnicities too. Who Who's your team right now? Who's in in your corner? I used to do everything in house over at Team Oyama, right? And then now that I opened my own gym, um I pieced out everything. So my I have at OKA, my head coach is uh Coach Marshall. He he knows me. He's a Muay Thai champion from Thailand. And then I have coach Bryce Krauss from Rising Suns. Um he's a WBC international champion or former. And then I have Mario Angelo at the box training center in Costa Mesa and he's trained all the old school boxers, all the Mexican boxers that came out of Orange County. So, you got kickboxing coaches and boxing coach? Yeah, I got a
15:07 I got two Muay Thai coaches. I've got a boxing coach. And then I just started doing functional strength. Let's go. Hell yeah. And that's been a freaking game changer. You feel it changing your body? I was sore for a whole week. I just stopped being sore on Sunday. It's freaking crazy. How do you feel like it's helped your performance when you're acting? I don't know yet. I've been sore. I haven't recovered. Yeah, I'm still recovering. Like, I'm literally still sore right now. I'm dysfunction. It was so bad I couldn't even teach like a jumping knee. Like I couldn't jump. I was like, "Dude, what the fudge?" And I lifted zero weights. He's been like making me like open up my mobility and like engaging muscles that I don't use. Um, so now like I I can head kick a lot easier. I'm like, "This is cool." Uhoh. Uh-oh. It means you weren't head kicking at a full capacity. I was headkicking, but my hamstrings are so tight that like it pulls my leg right back down. But now that I kick it, I can actually kick my
15:58 leg. the follow the follow through. ████ Damn. Head kick and see head kick ko. I'm going to help you out here, Ron. I'm going to um join. I'm not going to head kick your opponent. No, I'm going to join their gym. I'm going to um work as a janitor for their gym and then I'm going to spy on them and I'll send you information if injuries, anything. Just Just when you're mopping, accidentally swing it really hard against his knee. Oh, I'm going to leave the floor extra wet so he slips and falls. Yeah. Don't put the slippery when set sign on when he's around. He's gonna go or just interrupt the training while you're mopping like anatoli. You know what I mean? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like this is bad technique. Bad technique. Can I show you? Yeah. Can I move, please? Yeah. And then I'm just going to delay their training. He's not going to get his workouts in. You say 10 more minutes. 10 more minutes and ring will be ready. I'm going to make
16:48 him sick a little bit and then you'll ████ him wrong. Not that you need it, but I'll help. It's uh Yeah. I have a I have a physical therapy office that I go at regularly. They give me like uh Yeah, it's called uh Kesler Family Wellness. Oh, Kesler. Yeah, dude. They've trained every athlete and fighter in Orange County for this. So, this is probably like the most comprehensive camp you've had. This is very comprehensive. Um and then I have a freaking wellness coach or what is it? What do they call like a sports psychologist? Uh no, not yet. I I I got offered that, but um my time is getting so limited. Yeah. Hey, I got a palm reader I can help you out with. Tell me your future. You win. Yes. No, I'm uh the whole thing. So manybody there's some things I can't take. Uh but I'm on injections with a company called Everwell MD. Oh ████ Yeah. So they're putting me on like LC carnitine. Um
17:39 they're putting me on I can't use like BPC or TRT cuz they test for that. But I can take everything that they that they don't ban. Um like ashwagandha vitamins. Yeah. Well, they don't inject me with that. But but yeah, I I'm drinking like 80 pills. Elderberry. Elderberry is good. Yeah, this this is probably going to be my best performance. That's tight. When When is it? I'm going to go watch. Uh it's June. I'm scared. Last time you watch, you threw up. I did. That's because I died. So Ron and the last time I went to go watch him, you threw up. Hell yeah. I was there, bro. Scary. This boy comes and he drops the ████ and that guy's like all wobbly. We're like, "Yeah, Ron's going to win." Dude, the energy was so sick. Then Ron runs up to him and does what he always tells me uh not to do, which is keep her hands low. She's supposed to always have it by his face. He comes and that guy in a wobbly state goes like this and with all
18:30 of Ron's energy and went boom, Ron hits the floor and I'm like, "Oh my god." Like when you're invested in a fighter, it feels ████ And then you threw up there in my mouth. Oh, that's a true friend though. That's a real friend. It's so crazy. Yeah. This the one time you guys went and then I lost and I shouldn't have. I was like, "Damn, Ron, I'm still going to train with you." But that that looked like it hurt. I mean, you don't want them to go. Bad luck. It wasn't your fault. It was my fault. Um, so the two times that I got stopped, just in case you didn't know, unfortunately, I gave them the I gave them the secrets, the training tapes. Yeah. Where, when, and where is it? It's uh it's June 21st, Burbank Convention Center. Burbank. Let's That's the OG spot. OG spot. Yeah. So, I've been holding out. So, I could have fought sooner, but I've been trying to push for

So, I've been trying to push for Vegas and uh it's been getting pushed back because they need my They don't need my help. That's different. I'm trying to do a show in Irvine. That's a different story. Like your own promotion? No. No. With WCK. Okay. Yeah. The first What time? What time? Uh, I think the doors open at like 5 or 6. No, I got a flight at 5. Push it back. Okay. So, is this set date? Yeah, it's the 21st. Yeah, June 21st. Okay. I I probably won't fight till like 9 or 10. You're in Maine, right? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. Um Oh, yeah, dude. Burbank.

First one is from Firebull Ramen. Second best of Krab Bang Noodles. Are you sure? It's a different market. This is going to give me diarrhea. I love it. They're dry.

So when he found out he got super stoked. My dad's the coolest in the world.

So like uh I'm not just hooking you guys up. I'm literally hooking up all my friends and family up. Oh man. And I think I think what sponsors like is that um I'm not just like hoarding it all.

Um, and so they they they end up loving it. That's awesome. It's not just spicy. Yeah. So, the other one I have for you guys is uh is for you and for your women too as well.
