0:00 What I've seen and what I do know is they up there. Some of them are up there. They know a lot of people that we don't know. Like they're connected. The connection is connection is insane. When you you mean like with rich people, powerful people or like gangbangers? All of that. All the above. It's connected. Dangerous people. And guess where the head honcho? Everything is connected from a church. Welcome back to another episode of the Careful Boy. That was like Native American. Wait, did you actually say something? No. Oh, okay. He sounded like a sushi chef for a minute. Yeah, it sounded familiar. I'm allowed to say it. Sounded like a very very melting pot of everything at the same time. Really? Yeah. That was a fusion Asian cuisine. That's pretty

0:50 cool. You It sounds Thai and a little bit Japanese. Also, look at this. Look at this. The casuals MMA pod. Send to your gym owner friends. We're looking to shoot a YouTube series with gyms in LA, Burbank, and Orange County area. Register here. What is that? What is that? I don't know, dude. We posted it. I did. I did. Cuz those are our friends from this uh brand called Full Violence. They did some collabs with us and I I guess they're looking to shoot some content. So Oh, so it's not you guys doing it? I thought you guys were doing it. Yeah, that's very misleading. I thought you guys were doing I don't want to support it. Yeah, you're not going to be filming at gyms. What? How you going to do a podcast when people are just trying to like ████ bench press and stuff? We're planning on filming some stuff with them with the full violence guys. Yeah, in a gym. MMA gym, right? Yeah. MMA gym. So the dudes like

1:40 fighting and then you're trying to do a podcast while people are fighting in the I don't know what we're going to do. We're probably going to train with some We're probably going to get beat up by UFC guys probably with microphones on. probably. I don't know what's going to happen, but I'm You'll be funny. That's so cool. Getting beat up. If you guys are like, "Yo, we need a gym. We're going to film our podcast there." So, you think it's going to be all sick, right? But really, they just do it in a locker room where everyone's taking a shower while they're trying to do a podcast. Can't even hear the audio. Yo, I got one naked dudes in the back. The camera's all fogging up. I have a really great camera. Ah, no. I got I got a crazy idea now. Oh, right. Yeah. What's the idea? [Laughter] I don't know why that makes me laugh. Like I don't know. It's so It's such a like elementary, but I love it. It's so

2:31 dumb. Just like when someone tells you I farted, I will laugh. If you say I farted, I That's why we're losing views, guys. Look, man. Why? Why? What happened? We're not ████ growing with our audience. You mean growing up with our audience? Well, they didn't grow down. Yeah. Lower their standards. But what's your Yeah. What's your ████ genius idea, genius? No, I don't want to say anymore because somebody might take it. I don't want to do it anymore. Stupid. No one's going to take Hey, it's not about the ████ idea. It's about the ex execution. So, think about it. What if we did special forces from, you know, there's already shows like this, but now we do training style. Above the arena, there's an arena. Specialist forces from this country, this country versus each other with UTMs. What's UTM? Ultimate training rounds. So, they're shooting munitions. Oh, I was like,

3:21 ultimate training munition, right? Yeah. Yeah. So, like simulation rounds, right? But now you go in with your solid team and your solid team, different country forces versus different. That actually sounds tight. That sounds like a dope. actual combat versus actual combat and each ████ and and there's like three ████ hostesses up top going like, "Wow, America's really going after violence of action." You know what I mean? Some some type of host just like UFC like CQB stuff. Yeah, CQB stuff. What if someone holds a gun and they actually get into jiujitsu tournament? You know what I mean? Trying to go over the gun. That's tight. That would be sick. That'd be a sick show. I would definitely watch that. Honestly, yeah. Don't steal it. But yeah, let's get investors and let's get in it. I don't think any countries want to lose though. I don't know. Well, that's the And they don't want to show it. They don't want to show their tactics. You know what might be better? You get you get the guys who think they're really good at CQB stuff and then you make them go against like actual trained C. What's CQB again? Like the close quarter combat. That's what it's called, right?

4:11 No, that's CQB. That's CQC. That's CQ battles. Oh, it's close quarter. Yeah, but you know how um the reality usually is like not as entertaining cuz like real ████ fighting and like real effective killing and all that ████ is not that ████ exciting. No, it's not that exciting. But remember what you said. It's the people that's in it and also how you edit it at the end of the day cuz the story lines I guess cuz like jiu-jitsu is effective but it's ████ boring. That's not true, dude. No, let's be let's be honest. And you know what they need to stop doing? You know what they need? You don't think this is exciting? Come on. They should have they should take away points for dudes that immediately get on their butt and ████ try to get like they don't even they don't even grab. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They're changing. They're changing. Oh, they should. You know what my thing about that is? Is that the guys who sit

5:01 on their butt, the guys are trying to the guys who are standing trying to avoid them, they can't pass their guard. They can't beat them up. Yeah. So that's why it's boring. They can't It's like It's like It's like imagine if you watched a basketball team and one team couldn't dribble the ball, the other team can dribble and you watch them play a game. It's like this is a bad basketball game. He's like, well, I mean, you know, you know how judo got rid of that? like they you have to you know but they changed the whole sport though right didn't they isn't that the whole thing is like they made it very like you could only score if you get to this position well in judo what they changed is that they didn't want boring ground game all day so you had to start standing up and then that's when if you'd get a throw down you have like 5 seconds to go for a take down so then you can't marinate like in jiu-jitsu where after the takedown you can set up whatever so it's like right when the

5:52 takedown happens you got to you got secure that setup to the arm bar or something immediately and get that submission or else it's that's it. Or you get a sick ass point for doing a dope throw, right? Cuz that's what they want to see. Yeah. But in jiu-jitsu highly ████ if you do a throw, it doesn't weigh as much because it's a takedown is a takedown. Hey, two points is pretty good, man. I guess take it is a lot of points, right? Yeah. They're they're changing the rules, though. So now now you can't most of the top feds now you can't butt scoot anymore unless you have a very clear attack. So if I like throw a flying triangle and then my butt touches the ground it's okay cuz before they would play the rules where they would just go Yeah. Like like that as soon as they touch they can put their butt down. I think you need a grip now. But now now rest will just stand you up. Oh good good. Cuz that's what makes it boring. They're they're changing they're

6:42 changing that stuff. Can we talk about the angles they always do of jiu-jitsu, right? Like it's always like the leveltole angle they always film and it just looks like denying each other. That's not true, dude. No, no, I'm not. I'm ser I'm being serious. I'm not being ████ disrespectful. No, at the end of the day, if the if the angle if we could get the angle higher, then we can see what you guys are doing on If they can get actual directors to come, I think there's a lot of potential. Definitely. But it's just every time we do see videos, it's always just them laying down like and then you're just like, "Come on, dude." But it's hard because you never know what is going to happen in the match. You can't like, you know. No, that's why we should have multiple angles. So, I've been to like uh the Apex Center a couple of times. Sorry. One of the fights that I thought was perfect was um the mat in the middle was actually eye level. Okay. Then when you

7:33 have the camera angle like you could actually see what's happen cuz when you go like this then you can't see what's happening. You see the back. But yeah, but when you can see this then you can actually see like oh ████ this guy's grabbing this or whatever. So, I feel like if they can get a team of like So, did they at the apex did they just lower the floor? They just lowered it. That one I was like, dude, that's sick. And then they lowered it. I'm like, I don't know why they did that. And they stuck with Maybe it's just easier to set up. I don't know. But I think if they had it at eye level, like a boxing ring. Yeah, like that. I slight and then film it from that level versus having a boxing ring and then still having a tripod go down. That'd be cool. That'd be cool. you can see like way more action cuz when you when you go top down you you cover like half the Maybe it's because with the Apex or like with just jiu-jitsu like they need that extra flooring that's why it's like on ground level cuz you know how like the matches will roll out into the audience sometimes. Yeah. But like if you're

8:23 going to go upper level then you're going to like need to cage it so they don't fall. You got to do wrestling rules dude. They could go off the thing and get into the crowd. That'll be so sick. They need to do tag teams. That's what they really need. They need five on five or or make it like sumo. Like if you fall off, you lose. Yeah, cuz you know Sumo's elevated too and you got two 400 lb ████ That's true. If one of them makes the other guy fall off, that guy just lost. But now they they're making they're making the rings where it's a pit. So the walls come up style. So if you move back, if you keep moving back, you're actually being disincentivized from moving back because as soon as you hit the wall, you're going to be easier to get taken down. And it's not a flat wall. It's going to be a slight slant. So, as soon as you back up, you feel the wall, you're ready. Your hips are gone. They're going to grab your legs. They're going to take you down. I've seen people take advantage of that, though. Like, they'll take advantage of that slant and they'll

9:13 like jump to get Exactly. They'll do a flying attack. Yeah. It makes it more dynamic. You're like, "Oh, this is crazy." How do you like train for that? That's crazy. Like, every gym's going to There's gyms that have it now. People will build a slant wall. That's tied. It just adds another variable. It's kind of like how when the UFC started happening, people started building cages in their MMA gyms, too. Yeah. It's like standard. If you don't have a cage wall, it's like, are you a real MMA gym now? You know, oh, cuz you can't practice. Yeah. You can't train. What would be cool is putting scenarios in there like holstered with a gun and then fight. You know what I mean? That would be good. The It's going to be more interesting. Like a disarm. It's a roulette wheel of like what what scenario you get a barbed wire. Some someone comes in with a rifle. Oh, ████ in the house. That's crazy. Everybody, right before your fight, you got to like put your hand in the ████ bowl and then pull out your weapon. You either got like a assault

10:03 rifle or like a baseball bat. That would be a cool show though is like you put like trained fighters and you put them in like C CQB type situations or like disarming situations cuz I am curious to see like what happens like how well do those skills actually translate without Mog guy always wins. You said what? The crav guy always wins. He just kicks you in the nuts the whole time. works. Like that is interesting. I would like to uh let's do something next week. Okay, dude. We'll talk. We'll get my guys. You get your guys, I'll get my guys. You get your investors. Bart's going to be my guy. All right. He's going to be my my my person that I volunteer for everything. Bart, but he won't be here next. So, a guy with a knife. You got to get You got to throw Bart in with a guy with a knife. I can't do I'm going to get killed. I can No, no, no. But it's real life situation. It's not It's not about being killed tonight. You got to survive. I be I run. I want to be the planning. Can I be a producer? Why do I have to be the ████ the talent?

10:54 I want to be behind the camera because Nick said you have to be talent. Be talented, dude. Take your shirt. Doesn't it make more sense when if Nick does it? Yeah. Bart's Bart's going to be the star of the show. I got one stripe on my white. Congrats, man. That's two. I don't have two type guys. Three. This guy's a future four stripe white. Well, one got taken away from your tournament, Bart. Congratulation. It's still a stripe. You're killing it. Okay, don't be negative. No congratulations yet, please. All right. You ████ head big. How many stripes is it till your next belt? Five. No, you need four and then you get blue belt or whatever. Then you can move on. But some coaches don't even they may not even give you all three stripe all five. They might not. Yeah, they might just promote this guy. Wow. Maybe they're just they think he's cute. Get in your head, only keep you at one stripe for like 3 years and then just give you blue out of the way. Wipe out

11:45 for 3 years. I think I deserve it. Are there any jiu-jitsu mc dojoos I can join where I can just keep buying belts? Lion Hard Jiu-Jitsu. Okay. Pay me a good amount of money. I will give you whatever belt. Wow, Nick, you have names. I want a coral one. I think those look real cool. I'm in business now. Okay. I'm a business guy. Call me Nikki Bezos. All right. I want the red and white one. I'll give you a black belt for almost free. Can you guys give those out? What? The red and white one? We have a pink belt at the gym. No, but I like the red pink belts. We got pink belts. Of course you would. You probably have fanny pack belts. Yeah, I didn't even think about that. Holy ████ The opportunity. No, I didn't think about. That's insane. Since you guys moved the gym uh out to the other location and you guys expanded it still. Yeah, you guys are coming. You guys have moved. Yeah. And you expanded the uh Oh, I didn't know that to both sides. How's that been for you guys?

12:35 Dude, we have so much more space as a gym. It's great cuz we used to have we used to at Lionheart it was a half jiu-jitsu, half personal training. Wait, so the original location is full gym or full jiu-jitsu now? Full jiu-jitsu. Oh, nice. That's and then so the the weights move somewhere else. We moved like 6 minutes away down the street. Really cool facility. It's dope. Yeah, it looks cool. It's all red and we have cool We have cool lights. We have all the cool trendy hexagon lights all the gyms have. Yeah, but you can't you can't really like U-turn or anything. You can't switch lanes comfortably. You have to literally wait mad long cuz there's a medium there. That's ████ the city infrastructure sucks there. The medium is a pain in the ass. A lot of car accidents over there. Yeah. Yeah. And it's a wide area. We do have a hoop in the back. We got a hoop. We got a full parking lot. They got full parking lot gated gated. We have a ramp. We have a ramp. So if you guys need to carry some heavy machinery through, we have a ramp. And it's not really full. Now you're never going to leave the Vegas and you

13:26 got that bul split squat little unless unless it's time for you to spread your own wings and build your own jiu-jitsu school. Lion heart LV. Yeah, but your partner won't like you anymore after that. You think we we'll have a separation after? I think separation will happen. He loves you too much. You guys could use some drama. There's like too much love. We're too nice. I thought Joe was the Lionhe Heart jiu-jitsu guy. He's our head coach. He's our head. Oh, but the owner is Jeremy. Yeah, I see. Jeremy, I mean, Colleen part forget me like that. A Korean to go in there and break up the whole crew. That's true. That's I could be a Korean. I could be Why would a Korean break up the whole crew? Cuz they're they're dramatic. Don't you know? No, but then if they grew up in Hawaii, it takes away Yeah. You're Hawaiian, dude. You're not even Korean. You're a local. It erases it. Erases it. You just got to watch out for LA Koreans. LA Koreans. You got

14:19 there's something about LA Koreans. See, check it out now. Oh ████ LA Koreans are different breed. See, I told you. Okay. They only kind of really look out for each other. But I met some people that are actually cool, but I don't know them too well. You know what I'm saying? So, I won't know. But I do keep my distance. LA Koreans are different. They always drive white BMWs. White BMWs. It has to be white something. It has to be white Mercedes. Who knows? Okay. Why do you think they get the white ones? Cuz they don't want to clean it. Some of them Some of them like some of them are pretty hood too. I'm not going to lie. Yeah. It's K Town. It's K Town where they where they run the business. I'm going to give you all that. And sometimes some of them act like they struggled their whole life, but really like your parents own a liquor store and all of that. Like you guys did not struggle. Y'all made your own struggle.

15:10 You made your own struggle. It's from what I learned. But not all of them. A lot of them, they're they're aware of what they have and they're very smart about Yeah. Cuz owner of liquor stores, not just owner of liquor store, but they own BCT, Tofu house. They own BCT, but a lot of them know what they have. So they they take advantage and they use their tactics on people and businesses they want to grow. What's your tactics? I can't say too much about it. But listen, I don't know too much about these guys. But from what I've seen, I can't tell you cuz I don't know. From what I If I knew more if I knew more about them, I would tell you. Let me confidently tell you what I don't know. I'll tell you what I do know. What I've seen and what I do know is they up there. Some of them are up there. They know a lot of people that we don't know. Like they're connected and ████ The connection connection is insane. When

16:00 you you mean like with rich people, powerful people, or like gangbangers? All of that. All the above. It's connected. dangerous people. And guess where the head honcho and everything is connected from? Where? A church. It usually is. That's what I'm saying. Remember dancing with a dber? Yeah. Next thing you know, everyone have business suit. Why? I don't know. But somehow it always leads to at church. I was at church. Yep. I met at church. Korean syndicates always bless happen at church everybody and everybody good now that's what creates Ktown community kam Korean culture that's like just in Korea too but instead of Korea is Samsung Korea de

16:50 like the actual country I don't know too much I don't live there but what I'm saying is that LA Koreans are different breeds bro they're they're They could low-key running mafia style. I'm not going to lie. When I think of the LA Koreans I know, a lot of them drive white BMWs. Exactly. That's That one's spot on. 100%. 100% thousand% or white Mercedes. It's It's not It's not something. And it's It's funny. It's because it's not It's not like they can't afford it and they just they use that status quo. It's because that's just they're born into it. Mhm. They're born into the white beamer gang, right? But they all play golf. Yeah. And they play golf. But the thing is they don't they they didn't just get handed over. You know what I'm saying? Some of them get s second use handover which is just a Korean dude. Koreans in LA took over the entire golf scene at every course and stuff yet the same way that like Chinese people took over East LA. Like

17:42 it's crazy. It's it's it's a mafia style. You got to know somebody to know somebody that knows somebody and then eventually know somebody that will eventually help you out because you knew that somebody. Damn. That's and that person that you eventually knew was Jesus. Once again, it leads back to it leads back to church. Yeah, cuz Jesus first disciple was Korean. I I don't know too much. I wasn't there. I don't know the disciples like that. I don't know. I wasn't there at that time. So, I don't know. I wasn't in the Middle East. I don't want to say their stories. I grew up in LA either, so I don't know too much from what I experienced. Jesus and the Korean disciples story. No, never heard of it. Are you eating that BCD? That's fire.
