1:41 to to cut wake so do you feel like you're going to train again like you're ready to I took a week off just cuz it's really mentally taxing you're going to eat physically I did I gained like I gained like 10 PBS in like 7 Days let go Baby is it is it this extra 8 weeks you think it's good for you it would be better for you or you would have you I I've been ready this Saturday would you rather just have had it better on Saturday Saturday i' would rather have fought this Saturday I'd rather get out of the way just cuz I have so much other stuff on my plate he's a businessman and a mayor I I plan to fight this weekend so that I could spend the rest of the year focusing on mayor and then like can you like catch us up with uh besides running for mayor besides defending your title what are all of the other responsibilities that you have currently because uh I thought I had a lot of jobs I just acquired a crowd therapy Salon crow spot in Santa Ana that has been really really cool I partner with a few of my friends and uh we do Crow therapy

3:22 and stuff people like to do it's like a head start or to get that that the stubborn areas that they can't get rid of jump start yeah a jump start or just get rid a stubborn are JK Adventure set it up set it up do a spa we'll do a spa day we have robes and everything you guys can like 2 hours there and we have and we have beer we have beer on T what so you can drink beer and lose the fat right away that's a sick ass selling point it's it's like a spa it's a recovery SP craziest business I ever heard and we're going to we're adding a cold plunge too really dude let's go let's go cold plunge be sick cold plunge it's it Santa Ana you said yeah Santa Ana like off of the 405 in I love Santa shut the ████ nobody says ████ you you don't know me you don't know me Cadena boy he's an athlete he likes cold plunges I like all that we're talking about Santa all right so there's a crow spot

4:13 and then what what else what else you got we're doing Crow therapy right now you guys remember the stuff from last year oh we're selling the fish store oh you're selling the aquarium what already yeah well cuz we the I didn't go this crazy until like 3 years ago before 3 years ago it was all fighting stuff um and then you know when p hit Jim got shut down I was like all right we got to do other stuff so we did a bunch of other stuff like a lot of stuff right and then this year it's like fudge we have so much in our plate too much stuff too much stuff right um so this year's focus is on cutting things that I don't need or don't want and then going deep on the things that I do want so we're we we're dialing it down so and that's mayor stuff and tow trucking mayor and kick kicking ass yeah yeah and you know defending my world title I tried getting a one but that's been a massive fail uh didn't I give you a contact did you reach out dude I got everybody's contact

21:57 want a magnet like legit too you want a careful boy magnet oh my gosh does it stick to metal it does it sticks to Mayor a Marinet aside from being a mayor now that you're a businessman which one do you like more being the mayor has been really really fun and I've been fortunate that all my business uh Partners running for mayor has been really really fun I'm all talking like I already want it you got to talk like you are a ████ mayor dude you are a mayor by the time this comes out you'll be on your third term anyway manifest it man just say that you already are it's it's been fun my my partners have been picking up the slack for me cuz I um part of the reason why I haven't been U making any money from toing because I haven't put putting in as much time you know the less time you put in something the less money you make you know um so I've been putting a lot of time into this uh this political

22:47 thing U because I really like it I dude it's been really really dope and it's been incentivizing me to do more community service more than just teaching I want to do more than just self-defense resources for the agent community and Beyond um I want to do other stuff so even it sounds like nothing but this e ebike policy um is so big for me cuz like dude I I get to know that maybe like 5 years from now like I took part in making this little change that made kids get hit Less on bikes wow that's so cool if I have two less kids fly off of the street um like literally from riding their bikes that's a huge win um but if I the other thing is you know making sure the senior citizen Community is more taken care of they're getting forgotten they're they're going into senior homes dude my neighbor she's 60 I don't know how old she is 60 50 60 70 I don't know I'm bad at guessing they all look the same way she had a certain age she's old um and she lives by

23:37 herself dude when she freaks out like I'm the one she calls and texts you know um did you tell her I'm not related to her you said how come you don't have family yeah I don't what did you do I like this dude when I get these deep conversations like I I hate seeing people cry oh you so nice oh they started crying yeah do you want to get those deep conversations I'm like you got to walk away as soon as they crying you bro this is why you should be mayor because if I ran the same things that you did I'd be like old people about to die soon anyway ████ them these dumb ass kids these these dumbass kids ████ getting hit on the road ████ them an anti- mayor that's sick anti- Community I like it I'll be like vote for me mayor of Irvine I'll spend money and resources on people that deserve it I'll put

24:27 Kool-Aid in the water fountain that ████ die and then but this one he should be mayor see that's really nice of you the other thing too is uh the third thing I'm personal about is uh is business making it easier to do business in Irvine please it's so hard to do business in Irvine wait oh cuz of Irvine okay yeah but it's it's hard to do business in general right because of of Regulation dude for for for teimo Yama it took us 7 months to get a cup a conditional use permit it's cuz they don't want fighting yeah exactly we're not Zone we're not have mm at that property so we had to pay like 70 grand grand to pay somebody to stand in front of our building to track the traffic to make sure we didn't we didn't impede the traffic on that street in an industrial area no way what among other things but it cost 70 grand and then that wasn't a guarantee that was just like in you know to get the chance to

25:18 apply this process oyama brings so much good attention it's a community one of the biggest gyms in the United States yeah dude and and like like we're bringing all kinds of people together like Community all kind that fun stuff I'll tell you guys why after the video cuz I don't want Ron to get in trouble o secret stuff wait now I'm curious wait can't you edit this anyways just cut this part out he's not the boss he can't edit it I don't want Ryan to write the notes cuz it costs more
