| 0:00.0 | All right, guys, I'm joined today by the man himself, the former welterweight champion, former lightweight contender. One of the guys I was scheduled to fight three times. I know for sure, too. I'm trying to remember if we were scheduled to fight three times. You fought my teammate because you and I were scheduled to fight, Kelly Delante. Oh, get out of you. First of all, Josh, good to see you, man. What's up, warrior? Dude, son of a |
| 0:24.1 | bitch, look at your hair. You pretty, you never, dude, look at me. Oh, I thought you did it on purpose. |
| 0:31.7 | You know what it is? It started going like, like, like narrow, like in the middle. I'm like, what am I doing? I like to hang out in the barber's lounge and bullshit with the guys, but I go, what am I holding on to here? And now I just got a little facial hair, but I'm aging gracefully. I'm not a fatty anymore. Remember that I went to a fatty stage? Yeah, yeah. You had it towards like the end of your lightweight. And then when you went to the |
| 0:55.0 | Walterway Division, you're just like, look, I'm just chill. I'm going to be who I am. Oh, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then I do, don't lift up your shirt. I'll get depressed. No, no, no. You're better than me. How are you 50? I'm 51, bro. You're 51. I'm 48. And so it sounds, dude, it's going to sound weird when you say 50. |

| 1:12.8 | Look, I, to be honest, and I know this sounds really, really stupid, I tell people that I'm 50, just so they give me a compliment. Oh, you look good for your age. I'm starting rounding it up already. I'm like, yeah, I'm 50. I'm 50. Man, I feel better with my shirt off than when I was in my 40s. |
| 1:28.4 | I feel good, you know. I'm more on a schedule. I'm doing the right thing because I used to, you know how it is between fights, dude. I don't know. I never seen you out of shape, but between, I used to be a little, I'm a little Italian guy. I like to eat a lot of pasta and shit. But, you know, I'm on a day. |
| 1:45.2 | I'm on a good routine of just being at my academy a lot and whatnot. Can I ask you a question? Because a lot of guys, when they get done fighting, right, they go, well, like, you know, we, a lot of guys go, hey, I mean, I haven't been able to do any gear.

| 2:03.6 | Oh, no, I'm on T.R. Okay. I'm not. And so everyone keeps telling me, like, get on it, get on it, never been on it, never like. So, and I mean, I was kind of exploring, like, the peptide thing, I got friends that own peptide companies. |
| 2:16.4 | And they're just talking like, |
| 2:17.5 | hey man, |
| 2:17.7 | I'll send you free stuff. |
