0:00 Yeah. And then she started bending my head way ████ back to like push me down and I was like, "I'm not ████ GOING DOWN." SO, WHAT do you guys think? Did this fighter disrespect Bruce Lee's grave? Is that Bruce Lee's actual grave? >> Shut up. He's He's ████ Jeet Kune Do. Oh, it's Joaquin Buckley. >> things as a young martial artist that I read about that really introduced me to what mixed martial arts was. Jeet Kune Do stands for the empty second

0:51 fist and it literally means, right? Intercepting somebody's attack, right? In between every every explosive blow and every explosive uh uh uh uh uh uh maneuver that you stop with your own, right? Bruce Lee was one of the best instructors when it comes to the philosophy of mixed martial arts and I truly believe that without Jeet Kune Do and Bruce Lee's impact to martial arts that the UFC wouldn't even exist. So, with me being here, me being able to just really be able to be uh surrounded by his presence, right? At his burial I feel like, man, you know, I didn't completed something that's only going to level me up now, you know? So, it's a beautiful thing. Respect to Bruce Lee. Wait, you're asking if he disrespected it by saying respect to Bruce Lee?

1:41 >> is extremely split about this. There are people who think that what he did was disrespectful with with the shadow boxing and um inside the like that area. >> Oh, because you're not Are you not supposed to step right there or something? I don't know. Some people say you're not supposed to. >> Is it uh Who's next to Bruce Lee? Is it >> Brandon. Oh. That would be only thing. So, he's a he fights in the UFC and then what he talks about Jeet Kune Do's accurate, the art of the intercepting fist and and and if Bruce Lee is the one that inspired him, that's super dope. All of that is sick. Um but if he climbed, I guess, the fence Oh, you're not supposed to stand in that. >> did and if they're not supposed to, I can see how it could be disrespectful, but if you are able to walk in there, I guess it's okay. So, it it looks like it's it's part of the walkway. Like that's what I think is Like you're able to walk into it? Yeah, I see.

2:31 Oh. Oh. So, people can come and just bring flowers? >> Yeah. Like it happens all the time. >> guy's standing in the exact same spot. >> Exactly. It's not like he's on top of his grave ████ shadow boxing. >> if it if it's the it's not the equivalent of that, is it? Like, you know, like if I went to Chuck Norris's grave and I was like on the ████ plate. Right. >> How come Bruce gets all the flowers and his son gets See how it's like a walkway? Yeah, dude. Yeah, there's a there's a bench right there. Yeah, what the heck? I I don't see the problem with it. >> people don't know this though. I think they they think he climbed the fence or something. >> Oh, they thought that it's a barrier? Dude, it that takes like 2 seconds to figure that out. Do you know where it's at? Um Cuz I want to go there and do the same ████ It's Seattle. Oh, Seattle. Yeah, cuz to me it's like he knows his ████ and he's obviously a lifelong martial artist to be in Yeah, he's clearly respecting Bruce Lee in every way. He even bows at

3:22 the end. Yeah, like the like the kung fu bow, too. Like not like a like a generic bow. He did like the kung fu bow. So, I'm like, I don't know. I don't see His whole his whole point of being there and and talking was to honor Bruce Lee. That was dope. Exactly. The ████ who what neck sharkers are getting pissed about that? Is it neck sharkers? I want to see. But that's the kind of the I mean, that the internet will just take anything out of context and go, "Oh, that's disrespectful." Because I think the beginning part pisses people off. >> If if all you saw was the beginning, that would look disrespectful. >> That would look funny, yeah. Or he's just shadow boxing. Looks like it's for him, you know, where he's like, "I'm cool now." I'm showing off. Yeah, but like every word that he said was like in honor of Bruce. That's dope. Yeah, I don't think people saw the full clip. Do you think they saw a guy shadow boxing be like What the ████ It's just a bunch of clips of him just shadow boxing. Ah, that's ████ up, man. And then if it looks like he hopped the fence just to

4:13 do that and in this whole like streamer culture, they could probably automatically assume, "Oh, that's ████ up." >> That's a guy too. Yeah, and he's just trying to get clicks, shock content. >> always white knighting for other races though? It's probably a bunch of white people. I guarantee it. But even though Bruce was part white. And the more authentic he goes, like let's say he did take Jeet Kune Do, and then if he wore the Chinese outfit, people get probably even more pissed. And if he starts talking like Bruce Lee, probably even more pissed. >> That'd be so funny though. I want to see a Bruce re re Leroy come back. Oh, Taimak? >> Yeah. Which one's that? Last Dragon. Uh, it's the parody comedy one. Oh, I didn't see it. Man, get some culture, dude. I know, man. It was a It was a black dude that wore the uh >> actually love that movie. Yeah. So it's like a flip, it's uh Berry Gordy made

5:03 this movie. It's a flip on uh kung fu movies where the black dudes are the kung fu guys and then the Asian guys are the black guys. Yeah. That's funny. Yeah, it's really tight. And then basically all the Asian guys are cool and the black dude is like the nerdy uh kung fu dude. >> That's pretty sick. So sick, yeah. It's really good. My favorite one is white kids versus uh Asian ninjas. Like grown men Asian ninjas. And they're just destroying these guys like They're just destroying these like ancient ████ like martial artists with Twizzlers and ████ >> I know, that's the best. Only in movies, man. I know, or the one that you wrote. Yeah, dude. But yeah, so I don't know. I I I I guess if you just didn't see this whole thing, you'd probably think that >> Well, unless unless you're unaware of

5:53 some kind of I don't know, like >> went afterwards, but we didn't see. Yeah. And he spit on the grave. >> I mean, he obviously thinks he obviously reveres the guy, so I guess if you were just kind of like anti-influencer, you could just look at it like, "Oh, this guy's doing that for content for himself or whatever." But I mean, he said all the right stuff. He's not stepping on it. You know? You know all of these like legendary martial arts stuff, right? A big part of it was because people didn't really know about Asia. So it was like mysterious and different and new, right? But like since all of the mystery's gone now, do you think we'll ever have any type of like martial arts cinema the way that we grew up on? Oh, like What do you mean like uh Like a resurgence? Like uh idol or just talking about like the genre of Where people are

6:43 watching it and they believe that there's like a something mystical about it. >> a big part of like Jackie Chan, Ip Man, all these guys was because I think there was a little bit of like, "We don't really know if this works or not." >> Oh, right, right, right. Okay, I know what you mean, yeah. Kind of like when the stereotype of back in the '70s were like, "Oh, don't ████ with Asians. They'll chop you. He'll karate chop you." You know, like that whole idea. I also think that Jackie made his his reputation of like, "If if it's happening in the movie, he probably really did it." Which was like epic for everybody. >> Cuz the stunts and everything, yeah, it was really wild, yo. >> All in camera, like he really is doing that ████ >> For combat stuff, it's just it was never the same once UFC came out. Mhm. Cuz you just got to see right away whether or not it worked. Yeah, cuz it was like the ultimate like writer's room, testing everything, throwing everyone together,

7:34 and see what works. >> And then especially just social media in general, all those clips were like, you got these like ████ delusional martial arts masters getting their asses beat by just random bar fighters.

9:15 like chi masters can get like 50 dudes to like domino fall down. And they all like drink the Kool-Aid together. How do they get them to all pay membership to their school? That's so lucrative. You don't know ████ ████ It's male loneliness peaked. >> Yeah, I've seen dudes just ████ like sitting there and then a guy comes attacks him, he just like points at him and this fool faints. Three other guys like, "Oh my god, he did the pointing touch thing." And they all drag him off and like try to shake his legs like wake him up. Like everyone's in on it. It's ████ crazy. >> Cults are lucrative, man. You you can find more guys like that than you can find guys that are denying it. It's like crazy. >> like the church thing of like, "I will banish thee thee from this person." And then they all fall back and ████ It's just Yeah, it's It's like you feel the the peer pressure of everyone around you who's fainting. So, you have to do it, too. Right. Yeah. When I got faith healed for the first

10:06 time, that exact same way, the the lady was like she put her hands like I was surrounded by a circle of like 20 people all praying for me. This lady was putting her hand on my forehead and I was like usually everyone ████ knocks out and falls at that point. But I just I was like, "If I fall, I'll fall, but I don't feel like falling." So, I just ████ stood there. Yeah. And then she started bending my head way ████ back to like push me down. And I was like, "I'm not ████ going down." I WAS LIKE, "I SEE how that works because like like she bent my head so far that it felt like I would should fall because it's like ████ difficult to stand." You think that's her technique then? It's like either you're doing it or I'm doing it for you? >> Yeah, if you don't do it right away, if you don't just like then they're going to ████ bend your head back. >> This guy's balance is hella good. They're going to bend your head way

10:57 ████ back. But she didn't know that my ████ bridge is nice. Hell yeah, boy. A lot of the like MMA fighters that I know, they still like traditional martial arts. It's like the spirit of it or the art of it. Just like how and then I mean they know that it's also like fake in this in these days uh terms. Kind of like just how like Daniel Cormier loves WWE still. They just see it as a completely different art form Yeah, art form, entertainment. And obviously if they're going to go train and fight in the UFC, they're going to do a more tested martial art, but they still all love just the whole genre of martial arts. I wonder what the kids like now are growing up watching and that like you know how Bruce Lee was like such a big impact for like everybody like oh man he brought and he like pioneered martial arts in a way where it's like dude that's changed

11:48 the world >> There's not going to be another one. Well Bluey's doing that. Bluey? They're watching Bluey yeah. That's their Bruce Lee? I think so. So yeah but what is their Bruce Lee? >> literally no idea. Right? Like what do they do if they don't have a dad like Bart Watters like showing him like ████ Bloodsport and Kung Fu Hustle? Like what are they doing? >> Well that was my argument with Gio where she was like no rated R movies and then uh we're like but like if you look at every generation it's getting more ████ made and ████ made and ████ made and I'm like we grew up with like Sylvester Stallone uh Terminator yeah Arnold Schwarzenegger like Chuck Norris Jackie Chan Jet Li like there's all these strong male figures and there's not really any like action male figure superstar that were like guys can go oh I want to be like that. I think that you could

12:38 maybe say Alan Ritchson the guy from >> He's like the only one? Right. But I think most kids like they just watch Mr. Beast or something. Yeah yeah. So it's like there's no like this like sense of like I'm going to go try to save the day and protect the woman or you know there's none of this like Even like we got like Glen Powell dude. Yeah exactly. Yeah yeah yeah. That's true cuz like that content was not supposed to be for children but there were Rambo toys there were like >> Or like G.I. Joe X-Men like there's just like there is this we need to go do something for the greater good and we don't really have that so But now but now we get to find out how many Orbeez we can fit in a pool. Yeah. So now we like we get to watch like one rated R movie a week which is cool. Harrison Ford movies are almost all rated R too by the way. Are they really? Yeah most of them. I was watching Charles Bronson with my grandma.

13:28 >> Dude, Charles Bronson's That's a little crazy though. >> Yeah. But she She had a big crush on him, so I had Every weekend I was forced to watch Charles Bronson with her. >> but you know what? Only the first 30 minutes of Charles Bronson's inappropriate. >> Oh. The rest of it's good. Cuz some chick always gets mega freaking destroyed. >> Yeah. Every time. Maybe that's why she loved him cuz it was like It's elder vengeance, yeah. It's its own genre, really. But yeah, the first few, it's always a really gruesome thing to make you want to root for him. And nowadays, like you can't do that. And all these super alpha dudes now, they'd probably just be labeled toxic mascu- masculinity or whatever. >> For real, yeah. And then so you're not going to have like these type of figures that teach you how >> Like kids don't play like cowboys and Indians, they don't shoot each other up with like fake toy guns.

14:19 We used to play army and ████ >> Yeah. >> Crawling around, just I did see that though in in Liverpool, like at the park, you would just see tons of kids on bikes and like I was like, that's dope. But I was like, I don't see that in America no more. We don't have third spaces like that though. Mhm. >> You know, like the common areas where like Too many crackheads at the park, huh? Does Tecca not play war or any of that stuff? >> He plays at the park. There's a park uh the closest to our house has hella kids. And then they all like play there and they're like chasing each other with like scooters and bikes and stuff. All right, we'll take it. >> But I don't see kids with toy guns no more is what I'm saying. Yeah. Cap guns, dude. Remember cap? >> Yeah. Yeah, it just makes the sound. >> like, this is so real. But kids organizing a war like at the park? That's just our generation. >> Organizing a war? Dude, like getting like 40, 50 like kids after school and

15:09 we're going to play like this game, massive hide and seek, massive ████ like >> CTF. We didn't I don't see them doing >> what I think it is? Probably the ████ ass parents. Mhm. Cuz I could see myself going, "Oh, like Tecca's like, oh, I want to bring my Nerf gun cuz we actually did. He he got a pretty crazy Nerf gun that has like a 100-ft range. He goes, "I want to take it to the park where it's unrestricted to see how far it can fly." And I said, "Yes." But then I can't imagine some of the parents that I see were like all the kids wanted to bring guns to the park. They'd probably go, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, you don't want to do that." >> Probably in Texas it's cool. Yeah, yeah. >> They didn't do that like organize like a big group? >> Yeah, I remember as a kid. >> Fam, we used to build forts. All the time, dude. >> We'd we'd build forts and we'd surround them with thorns and ████ like that and we'd we'd play capture the flag. >> We'd be doing that and all of a sudden there's like 20 kids you don't even know that are there but we're all playing and ████ I mean, we would even do that in

16:00 Christian school. Like not even in regular like it would be in school. So even at that level of like conservatism they were still cool with it. >> Yeah. I went to my friend's Baptist church and we played a game called murder ball. Did you guys ever play murder ball? Murder ball? >> At a Baptist church. We we we would have to sit through boring ass Bible study just so we could play murder ball. What the heck happens in murder ball? >> It's like dodgeball but there's just more balls, I guess. Dodgeball with bowling balls? No, it's like they're like all these smaller red balls. So they're smaller, so it's you can throw it harder. You know, well you have to throw it harder and there's just more balls. But they're smaller, so you can dodge them easier.
