0:00.0 | What's up everybody? Welcome to another episode of Chrissy chaos. We got my eight-year-old daughter off to the side. She's playing on my phone. I told her not to text anybody, but she probably will. |
0:11.4 | And then we have Vito here, Venetia here, my guest who I'll introduce in a second brought a guy who I don't know. He's got the number 38 tattoo in his arm. I don't know if that's 38 kills. I have no idea what's going on. |
0:23.8 | But he's just out here. He looks he looks like that he's strong. Mentally and physically. My guest. Okay. I wanted someone in here. I said I need I need to get some women in here. I'm tired of just having gay guys. I need a woman in actual real woman who can beat the shit out of me and beat the shit out of you and your father. Miss Heather Hardy everyone. Hi. Go Yankees. How you feeling? I feel good. Thanks. I love it. I was going to wear the same |
0:53.8 | shirt. I'm sure Heather Hardy from Garrison Beach Brooklyn mother. Right? How great is it to be from Brooklyn? The best. It's because and also people to know Garrison Beach. That's like it's like, you know, the Irish Riviera over there. Right. It's just all. It's just like listen. You got like Southy. Everyone's heard of Southy and in Boston. You know, the depot and all the Boston fucking, you know, like crazy. Like white guys. Well, Garrison. That's our Southeast. Garrison Beach. |
1:23.1 | Okay. That's where Heather's from. Yeah. I should probably shouldn't be too proud to say I'm from there, but why not? I said, yeah, the beach ride. Hurricane Sandy didn't kill any of you. No, you're the only neighborhood. It made your neighborhood look better after the hurricane. You're like, this is a fucking. So you just came straight from training. Yeah, right from the gym. Wow. So what time do you wake up this morning? Probably like 7 7 30. Crawled out of bed. Got some coffee. Went to the gym to like two hours. Wow. Ran here. And then I'll go. |
1:53.1 | Because you're fighting Serrano. Yep. See, here's the thing why we're conflicted here. Okay. It's because I'm white. I'm like you. I'm a white person from Brooklyn. But my daughter, my girlfriend, my whole family, they're Puerto Rican. So we have this inner conflict. Who do I root for my white side? I'm on my Puerto Rican side. I don't know what to do. Well, we both Brooklyn girl. So it's like, it's like we put it on for the city. It makes it even harder though for me because you're both girls from Brooklyn. You're think, you know, I'm. |
2:23.1 | I'm white and I love Puerto Rican people. So I don't know. I don't know what I'm going to. No, I'm going to root for you. Well, yeah, 38 is Puerto Rican too. And he's still root for me. So it could be like. There you go. 38 is Puerto Rican. And that's what he'll be referred to forever. It's 38. And I don't. I don't want to know why I. I'm 38 years old. So now I'm thinking it's like, this is the year he kills me. I don't know. Is he your trainer? He's my boyfriend. Whoa. I know of you. How you doing? And you're Puerto Rican. He's Puerto Rican. Yes. So we got a reverse situation going. Yeah. I'm the white. |
2:53.1 | You're okay. Good. So you train today. You have the big fight against Amanda. And it's a huge fight because it's it's it's J. You're on the Jake Paul, Nate Diaz card. So a lot of people are going to watch media week is going to be pretty big. So. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to that. The fights in Dallas. Do you ever get worried that you're going to get shot like JFK? No. Good. I wouldn't either. Every time in the Dallas, I wear a helmet. I didn't even know we got shot there. You didn't know we got shot here. |
3:23.1 | Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He got shot that he got shot there in Dallas every time I think in that city. That's what I think about. But do you feel? Okay. My daughter's on the phone. Let me ask you a question. Yeah. She's up here. Let me ask you a question. You know how like in training camp, they say like boxing. They say like guys can or anything. Is it the same for women? I consistently say no. It's not the same for women. It's not. |
3:53.1 | Women just you know women just be so cranky and like I'm bad enough on a diet. You don't want to take everything. Okay. Cool. So like so. Okay. Nice. All right. So yeah, because I think about that, you know, because that would be for me the hardest part. I think of being a training camp. I was a boxer. It's tough. You know, you got to like relieve yourself that way. I think every single thing is mental. Like if you mentally think it's going to affect you, it will. Right. And for me, I mentally feel like I need to relax and that's what yeah, that's what |
4:23.1 | needs to happen. You don't want me to be any more of a bitch than I already am. No, listen, listen, Garrison bitch. Yeah. Listen. Um, I, yeah, I get it. You people have to stay calm. They have to stay calm. And I have my own methods too. You know, I think it honestly, if I was a boxer and you told me I'd go off, I would just, I would start using butt plugs. I would, yeah, I would have to do something. I would have to get some type of sense. She's not listening, Mike. And, and she do, she's so, my kid is so funny. She goes, we were, I took her on the train. |
4:53.1 | For the first time today, like the subway. And she goes, daddy, we're on the subway. And she goes, why are there so many people on the subway? I was like, oh, baby, because it's, it's public. She was like, do they have Catholic trains? You know, like a public school, a Catholic school thing. I was like, yo, I was like, your little mind. And then, and then you know what I'm proud of her? She was, she brought her scooter. And she's, we were literally as soon as we got off the Staten Island ferry. She scooted down a hill. And she went into a wall. And she like fell off the scooter hysterical crying my back, my arm. |
5:23.1 | And I was like, baby, you got to get right back up and get back on that scooter. And she limped up to the scooter and she got back on. See? And that's what I was telling that's what I was, that's what I wanted to bring her today because she's doing jujitsu. And she keeps saying she doesn't want to do jujitsu. And I was like, I need Heather Hardy to get in here and convince my daughter to be a fighter just like you because it makes, you know, when I watch you, like, you know, I'm like, you know, like how the all the adversity have to go through single mom all that I watched their documentary about how you wake up at like four |
5:53.1 | or 30 in the morning, two jobs, all these hours. And I was like, I want my daughter to be around around that. I mean, her mom is, it's amazing, but like she's not a fighter. You know, so do you feel like you're inspiring? Do a lot of like girls come up to you now? Like thank you for doing what you do, etc. It's really like humbling because a lot of girls do come from all over the world. They come from recent and they come in and their moms are like pushing them to come talk to me because they're so nervous. You know, they go to boxing or kickboxing. I did MMA also. So you tell your daughter there are so many more |
6:23.1 | martial arts and so many disciplines that it shouldn't like you did to put her in American wrestling. Let her try kickboxing. Let her try Taikwondo boxing. I mean, it's the discipline of martial arts that teaches you not only can you be strong, but what you can endure. Yes, like I am in the ring. And I'm not feeling like I'm stronger than this girl. Like look at that. I'm looking at this girl. Like you can't break me. I've been broken in the gym. You know, like like nobody can break me. What I can endure is more than what you can get. I mean literally that is. |
6:53.1 | That picture to the left right there. That I took my kids to Disney last week. That was me. Yeah, and that literally so you just as your nose broken in that picture on the left. My nose has never been the same since that fight. I was spitting bones out of my mouth because first I got cut in the MMA fight by an elbow and it opened up my nose and I went in the corner and the ref came over and was like you were I was like no, I'm fine. I'm fine and my nose had a big hole. |
7:23.1 | In it. And he was like one more thing. I'm stopping the fight. I'm fine. And then the bitch kicked me right in the nose. And it was like I went and all the bones started to come. And I was like, fuck, he's going to stop the fight and try and try. And I was like, yeah, yeah. But like how do you cite yourself up? Because most people. Myself 99.9% of people be like, I'll never do that again. I don't want to get hit by another human being. It's going to make me feel worse and I don't want to do it. But you're that point. |
7:53.1 | 0.01% that's like I'm going to like you live for that almost right now. I think like I grew up in a different generation. Like we talk about how tough I am. My daughter is not tough. My daughter is a pushover. Yeah. It's like I raised her different than I was raised. So she became different than I was like I grew up in Garrett and Beach. I got beat up by my mom, my friends moms, my friends, all the brothers and sisters like nobody safe walking around. You know, like the whole neighborhood is just a bunch of parents working two jobs and all day and all night. |
8:23.1 | There's just kids running around in the streets, like taking care of each other. So I got beat up so many times. My mother used to tell me nobody out there going to fuck you up. Like I do in here. So remember that. And I've had over probably a hundred fights in my career. Nobody done working to me like my mom. Yeah. Now it's how different. Now I have a nut free household. I don't have peanuts and any jars because my children are allergic. I don't want to hurt my daughter's feelings. Meanwhile, my mother would come home, turn all her rings around and say, it's good. |
8:53.1 | You know, well, that because you started boxing later in life. But were you always thinking about doing it and then you just kind of worked up the courage one day to do it? No. I mean, I was, I was working like six jobs supporting. It was me and my sister with both of our kids, no child support, no daddy. Yeah, the guys who gone. And it was just me like the dad and her like the moms. I was working all these jobs. And she gave me a gift to give one day to go to like a little martial arts karate school. And I was like dancing and doing the bag. And like after a couple weeks, one of the girls was like, |
9:23.1 | oh, do you want to have a fight? And I was like, I don't fuck it. You know, like, I'll try it. And I beat up the girl so bad. I was like, wow, I'm bad at this, but good at this. But maybe this is my ticket out of Garrett's image. This is my way out. I wait to make money. Right. And I just ran after it as fast as I could. Yeah. And so like literally that day, you just, you never turned back. You just started. You were like, I'm on my way to be a professional fighter. Yeah. Wow. Are you out of Garrett's in Beach now? Yes. I got out. My daughter was seven. |
9:53.1 | I moved to Dumbledore. I became completely house poor. But I thought, you know, like I was living in Garrett's in Beach. I had to put my kid in private school. I was paying my sister just to take care of her all day. I didn't spend any time with her. And I thought about it. Like if I moved to Dumbledore, then I'm right next to Gleason's gym. I could raise my daughter. And I could put her in a good private school because that zip code is safe private schools. Of course. Of course. So it all made sense. Instead of paying everything and staying in the beach, I moved to there. Right. Through that, like, I didn't have no money. |
