Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to Nick DiPaolo on the Riotcast Network, Riotcast.com. Hello, everybody. It's Monday. Excuse me. Gotta lay off them cigarettes, man. I'm officially smoking. These sound weird, these. They're nice. I sound kind of weird in my own head.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Maybe it's the cigarette smoke and mucus that's been backing up. I'm spitting clams like you read about in Clam Weekly. Mother of God. Brendan's face. How are you, folks? Nick Tafalo Show. I'm your host, the straight white male. I'm proud of it.
Starting point is 00:01:07 I tore down a Peggy Lee statue this weekend. I was just... I was just... Does anybody know who Peggy Lee is? Sure. I don't even know who she is. I mean, I know she's an actress, right? It's an old movie.

And it's still pouring, and they're getting like 12 inches tonight, 12 tomorrow. But the most shocking visual I saw throughout this thing was a nursing home. Did you see that one with old ladies in their wheelchairs up to their, like, breasts?
Starting point is 00:02:42 Well, their breasts were down to the water level, I should say. One way or the other. But they were, like, up to the shoulders in water. These poor... Don't you go through enough in life? That's why God is just an asshole. Whatever God. Pick one. Who's the weather God?
Starting point is 00:02:57 Al Roker. He's a jerk. These old people sitting in their wheelchairs just floating. And they didn't even look upset. They've seen it all. They're like in their late hundreds. They're like they didn't even look upset they've seen it all they're like in their late hundreds are like fuck this i pissed myself the other night i was just as wet they didn't even blink but god help those people that's all i got to say not not the god i'm talking about the good one um 866-969-1969 866-969-1969. If you've experienced some of this, well, I've never.
Starting point is 00:03:27 They say a biblical proportions, right? Whatever that means, I don't know. Kim Kardashian's ass is of a biblical proportions. Proportions. Proportions. But goodness gracious. And then the highway signs that are usually, you know, when you go down a highway and they're like 40 feet in the air? You see the water's like 4 feet?
Starting point is 00:03:47 The water has nowhere to go, apparently. Some fat bastard is blocking something important. Somebody's sitting in front of a pipe. I don't know. I didn't know, though. Boy, wow. What do you do? We're lucky in the Northeast.
Starting point is 00:04:02 I mean, we could hit. But no, it's stuff like that. Not that I remember. Sandy, but come on. You had Sandy, but this made Sandy look like a bitch, did it not? Look at these poor people. Jesus. Regaining strength. And CNN says Trump caused rain clouds.
Starting point is 00:04:19 What? By the way, we came in. Japan, by the way, North Korea shot aapan by the way uh north korea shot a missile over japan today was it and i put on uh cnn they're talking about trump one of his attorneys reached out to the kremlin for a project that's what they were talking about please can we get them off the air state-run media fuck stains um yeah north korea somebody bitch slapped that little shamp howard looking chubby how do you get that fat you know why he hoards all the he's got people millions of people starving and this guy's got the best whiskey and just a just a virus with shoes
Starting point is 00:05:01 as bill hicks would say but north korea fired off a ballistic missile early Tuesday that sawed over Japan. Second time in four days, North Korean authorities defying an escalation in international sanctions and warnings from President Trump had launched a missile. Three short-range missiles were launched on Saturday. Jesus Christ, it's like fireworks over there. Enough already. Enough. Sorry. Some innocent Koreans are going to have to die. I know it'll be collateral damage, but it's time to let one fly.
Starting point is 00:05:36 But over Japan airspace. So is that not an act of war? I mean, when are we going to step up here? What are we waiting for? that not an act of war i mean when when are we going to step up here what are we waiting for the missile fired on tuesday took off from pangyang north korean capital and flew to the east according to the south korean military it flew 1677 miles while reaching a height of 341 miles before landing in the sea japanese government sent a text alert to citizens about the launch and advised them to take protective cover yeah i, I'll put on a hoodie.
Starting point is 00:06:06 What do you want me to do? Jesus Christ. The missile flew over Hokkaido Island in northern Japan. South Korean and Japanese officials said it was the first time a North Korean projectile had crossed over Japan since North Korea launched over japan in 1998 and again in 2009 of course the north claimed both rockets are carrying a satellite payload yeah they're trying to pick up the fight they're they're a little late over there they're trying to pick up mcgregor and mayweather i'll get to that in a second i meant to open with that by the way not a bad fight i gotta say um but but but again i mean a missile over Japanese airspace.
Starting point is 00:06:47 And I know we're involved in all kinds of treaties. We're supposed to come to defend our allies. So what are we going to do here, Mr. Trump? Are you going to write a harsh letter? What are you going to do, huh? UN. Mr. Hill, I was supposed to be allowed to inspect your palace today. This is the UN questioning Kim Jong-un.
Starting point is 00:07:04 Hans, Hans, Hans, we've been through this a dozen times. This is the UN questioning Kim Jong-un. Or else what? Exactly. That's exactly how we do. You have any idea how fucking busy I am, hot bricks? Well, fuck you. You want inspection? Inspect that, you butt-fucking piece of shit. That's how Kim Jong-un talks to the UN people. That's how he talks to them. We do nothing.
Starting point is 00:08:01 But we're pinned there. It really is more complicated than... I mean, for Christ's sake, South Korea is about, what, 11 feet away? Right? Not to mention Guam. You know what would be smart? You started a moving company in, like, South Korea.
Starting point is 00:08:20 I'm just saying. You gotta get the fuck out of here. Can you imagine the work That phone would be ringing off the hook Uh yeah I'd like to get my Get my Belongings out of my apartment Well maybe you didn't hear there's a
Starting point is 00:08:35 Like an ICBM Hems to my kitchen anybody Imagine the money you make as I'm moving I'm telling I don't mean to make light of the situation but i'm 60 000 miles away so i will that's the coward in me 866-969-1969 so yeah let's do something i don't know what let's poison this little i'm not talking big bombs yet but take him out you know when he goes to get that nice fade haircut put some strychnine in the witch hazel.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Strychnine in the witch hazel, everybody. It's my next album. Strychnine in the witch hazel. Let's do something about this little dink. People, millions of his people starving. He's sitting there fucking eating cannolis and taking in the ass. I mean, just a horrible person. The cannoli part is what bothers me.
Starting point is 00:09:32 But Mr. Trump, surrounded by very good military people. Mattis must be going crazy right now. You know, Mattis is like breaking shit in a room somewhere. Probably wants to. But again, we have too many allies. How'd we come up with that? You know, that's not a good situation.
Starting point is 00:09:48 They have us by the balls, the short hairs. Don't they? Sure they do. Gotta do something about it. Let's go to Pete in Pennsylvania. Pete has a question about the situation. Pete, what's going on? Hey, Nick.
Starting point is 00:10:09 New time listener, first time caller. All right. Why doesn't Japan do anything about this? Well, what are they supposed to do? Throw rice makers out? I don't know. They bombed Pearl Harbor. Why can't they bomb North Korea?
Starting point is 00:10:23 Well, it's a little close, isn't it? It's a little... You're looking out your window. And, you know, we have to... It really is a tricky situation, because they're right there, and this fucking maniac with his stubby thumb on the button um you know we have we have
Starting point is 00:10:49 to come to japan's defense and i guess we should all join yeah somebody over there has to do something i mean are you sick of this guy as close as everybody else is yeah exactly are you sick of this guy popping off i mean after a, it just becomes empty rhetoric, really, you know? Right. He's trying to get us in. How many warnings does the guy need? Yeah, I don't know, but I'd do it Putin style. I'd take him out to dinner and go, look, fucking General Tso's chicken named after your uncle.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Have a taste, chubby. Eat him to his tiger. I'm bringing up, I'm mixing Chinese and North Korean. I love to do that. Thanks to liberals who go fucking crazy. How the fuck I dare you? Like on stage in New Jersey this weekend at the Stress Factory.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I asked this guy, and the guy's like, what are you, Puerto Rican? I'm Colombian. Then I asked another guy, are you Colombian? They get like offended. I'm Dominican. I go, what was I off? Two kilograms? Which is a fucking great line, folks. Only three people in the world can think of. Pick the other two races. Anyways. Alright, Pete. Thanks. I'm going to put a call to Japan right now.
Starting point is 00:11:55 I'm going to say, Pete in Pennsylvania is furious. You Japanese folks ain't doing nothing. What? What's the matter? What did you think I was going to say something about? No, I was just giggling. I thought I said something wrong. I'm just listening. You don't say too much, Andy. After the Stress Factory, who did a... Andy did a nice job, by the way.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Thank you. Feature act. He murdered every show that I saw, so... You as well. Stress Factory, thank you very much. Of course, we were killed on Saturday because of the fight. Maybe Vinny will have me back for the Super Bowl. I mean, Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 00:12:28 My grandmother's 106. She was trying to get the fight. She's like, how does this fucking thing work? God damn it, I got fucking three dimes on McGregor. I like that Irish cocktail. Grammy, take it easy. My grampy's on the roof wrapped in tinfoil. Brett in Texas.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Yes, sir, Nick. How are you? Pretty good. How are you doing, Brett? All right. Hey, Japan can't do anything. They're not allowed to have a military. I think it's in the Geneva Convention, but they haven't been able to have a military
Starting point is 00:12:59 since World War II. They could throw rocks and shit. How about Molotov cocktails? I'm saying? They could throw tiger rolls at them. You've got to get creative. Wait a minute. I did a USO tour over Japan. They have military.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Don't they? No, they don't have an army. They don't have an established army. What do they have, special teams? I don't know what the deal is, but they're allowed to have one. It's been that way since World War II. Ever since, you know, all that shit went down after we dropped the Hiroshima bombs and all that.
Starting point is 00:13:36 They haven't been allowed to have one. I think you make an accurate point. Yeah. But just minor details. So you don't have a military. Big deal. Yeah. But just minor details.
Starting point is 00:13:43 So you don't have a military. Big deal. Still get into a pissing match with the nuclear power. Yeah, but now somebody needs to take care of that little dude over in North Korea. Well, I'll tell you who it is, Brett. I'll tell you who it should be, the Texas National Guard, but they're busy right now. Yeah, we got our hands full down here. Where are you, Brett?
Starting point is 00:14:07 You're not near the flood, huh? No, I'm at Huntsville. I mean, we got some water, but I got... Well, we're not counting your toilet. Yeah. No, I'm okay. My mom and dad in Houston are a little bit screwed, but it ain't floating their house up yet. Oh, well, good luck to them.
Starting point is 00:14:29 Call in. Check in with them. Oh, yeah. I talked to them earlier. They're all right. I did, too. Your mother's sound pissed off, so you might want to check in. All right, Brett.
Starting point is 00:14:39 I love you, Nick. You're a crazy son of a bitch. All right, Brett. Take care, man. Thanks. Have a good one, man. All right. You're a crazy son of a bitch.
Starting point is 00:14:42 All right, Brett. Take care, man. Thanks. Have a good one, man. All right. By the way, tomorrow night, remember Georgie? Do you guys remember Georgie on The Sopranos, the bartender who Tony would beat up every time he saw him? Well, his real name's Frank Santorelli, very funny comedian. He was in Boston when I was coming up.
Starting point is 00:15:01 He's from Cleveland originally, I believe. One of the funniest dudes. Good actor, too. He'll be here tomorrow night. Wednesday night, I'll be at the Fat Black Pussycat. So we'll be playing a best of that night.
Starting point is 00:15:12 So come see me at the Fat Black Pussycat Wednesday night. Saturday, September 9th, Yonkers Comedy Club. September 16th, I'll be at the Newtown Theater, Newtown, Pennsylvania.
Starting point is 00:15:21 And September 29th, my favorite gig of the year, Ridgefield Playhouse, Ridgefield, Connecticut. Go to nickdip.com for ticket information. So, yeah, a lot going on here. What are we going to do? I mean, we got all these military guys. That's a little unnerving.
Starting point is 00:15:44 I'm almost making light of it. Military guys. That's a little unnerving. I'm almost making light of it. Can you imagine a missile flying over in your airspace? Oh, we're just teasing. But again, you know, the U.N. and all that shit, they don't have no help. Leonard in Georgia, I think he may have a solution to this problem. Leonard, welcome to the show. How you doing, my brother Nick? Once again, I think he may have a solution to this problem. Leonard, welcome to the show. How you doing, my brother Nick?
Starting point is 00:16:09 Once again, I call. Hey, I figured it out. What you just told me got me to thinking. There's all kind of politics involved with just sending an active army over there and just wiping them off the face of the earth. Yes. There is. However, we've never engaged in this, nor do we claim that we have, but we should somehow or another send a team over there. Yes.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Specialized. I've got it figured out. I know who. You know who we send the New York Mets? Go ahead. No. Well, are they all Korean? No, the bullpen.
Starting point is 00:16:42 We'll send the bullpen over there. Anyway, you need to get some Korean, Japanese, or whatever you want to call it, looking folks, that you go over there and you take them down on the lowdown, you know, just like you say, serve them a glass of wine, something. There'll be a lot of suspicions, but, you know, I mean, hey, there's been folks in history that we still don't know exactly what happened. Do you know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:10 Yes, no. Yes, I do. You're talking about some covert operation. Yes, exactly. Thank you for putting it in words your audience can understand. Yeah, no, I'm pretty sure that's... Covert operations. I think you're right, Leonard.
Starting point is 00:17:26 I think if something does happen, that's how it will be solved, by the Navy SEALs. We'll send somebody in there late at night, you know? And get him, again, we'll get him at the buffet. Yeah, you heard about what he did to a lot of... You're breaking up, Leonard. Sorry, your phone breaking up.
Starting point is 00:17:47 Sorry, pal. Yes, but he makes a good point. That's how you got to do it, quietly and like Putin does. Somebody badmouths him on TV, next thing you know there's an anchorman choking on his fucking beef. That's how it happens. But it's getting a little hairy, isn't it? I mean, I thought with Mad Dog Madison there and John Kelly and all the other military folks, we'd have this solved by now. 866-969-1969 is the phone number if you want to check in.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Yeah, me and Andy Were at the Stress Factory In New Brunswick And yeah Saturday we get killed Because of the fight But still good Still fun
Starting point is 00:18:34 Yeah I'm much funnier In front of an intimate In an intimate That's the way stand up Is meant to be done anyways You can take your time As opposed to a full
Starting point is 00:18:43 Especially that club When it's full You got to stay on top of them You know but uh i actually got some stuff done worked on some new stuff andy killed and um i thank you people for coming out and they were nice enough at the stress factory to put the fight on right after the second show was over so i. I had about a 35-minute wait. It was perfect. Fight came on. And enjoyed it. We'll get into that in the next segment. I wanted to talk about Japan.
Starting point is 00:19:15 It was breaking news. Apparently nobody gives a shit but me and Brendan. Mark in San Diego, our friend Mark. What's going on, Mark? Hey, Nick. How's it going, brother? We've got a retired military guy. So Mark will bring some sanity to this conversation. What's the solution on North Korea, Mark?
Starting point is 00:19:32 I mean, you said it best, brother. You hit it on the head. It's a tricky situation. That guy called in and said Japan can't have a military. I don't know what school he went to, but for the longest time, they were only allowed to have a defensive force, and that's kind of changed over the years. But no one's really going to take action without us.
Starting point is 00:19:51 And you're right, there's so much red tape in between it that you really can't get into anything without popping off things from China and Russia and just creating a conflict bigger than what it should be. Yeah. China's really the problem, isn't it? Because they're behind these guys. It is. It is. I mean, you look at it, their economy matches ours. Their technology doesn't. They got a lot of people. Yeah. It's just really, do you want to go down that road?
Starting point is 00:20:22 Well, sanctions. do you want to go down that road? So that's the, you know, problem you run into. Yeah, sanctions, you know, they only go so far when someone doesn't listen. But I can only, you know, I've had Mattis as a leader in charge of me before, and I can only imagine how irritated he is. Hold on, Mark. You said you've had Mattis as your leader?
Starting point is 00:20:43 Yeah, well, not directly, but being in the Marine Corps, going over to Iraq and Afghanistan. He said he was in the helm at different times. He's extremely ruthless when he's the one put in charge, but they call him the warrior monk for a reason. He doesn't just go in throwing fists about thinking about everything. Right, right. Yeah, I feel comfortable, at least, at least that Trump surrounded himself with these people, because it's perilous times, and you couldn't have a better guy than Mattis from what I hear. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You know, maybe he's got George Bush in there with his tweets or whatever, but he picks some good leaders, and he listens to them. You think about the whole torture thing. Trump was all about it, then he picks Mattis, and Mattis is like, yeah, we're not doing that. And Trump was like, OK. That's true. It's it's the one. You're right. It's the one time that the president didn't argue with anybody.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And it's actually a good point. But I give Trump credit for surrounding himself because, you know. It is. And, you know, us in the Marine Corps, if you follow any, you know, military social media or anything, you know, we always call him St. Attis of Monaco. You know, he's held in high regards. Right. We get obnoxious with him, as we do, but he's a great leader. So when it comes down to it, it would be a destructive war, but it'd be real short. And it has to be. Go ahead.
Starting point is 00:22:04 Right. You look at all these think tanks. The United States would technically take on every other country in the world at once, and we would win. It's about how we would do it and everything else, but our technology is better than anyone else's by far. Sure. I just kind of sit back and, to me,
Starting point is 00:22:24 everyone talking about it is kind of the same way, everyone became a boxing expert over the weekend. Yes. Yeah, exactly. All right, Mark. Hey, thank you. Just figured out how much you sent in, brother. I appreciate it. And thank you for your service, man.
Starting point is 00:22:39 My old man is a Marine, so appreciate it. Oh, well, hey, number five. All right. Take care. All right. Take care. All right. Yeah. Mad Dog Mattis. Maybe we should call Obama, get his opinion
Starting point is 00:22:56 on what we should do. Maybe we could tie our soldiers' feet behind their back, too. Jagoff. But the truth is, every president has done nothing about North Korea for the last I don't know how many years. But anyways. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:17 When we get back, I want to talk about, we'll talk about the fight. It was a good one. And I got to see it for nothing. That made it great. But, you know, McGregor did not embarrass himself. I'll give you that much. He's going to have a lot of options going forward, I guess. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:23:41 I thought it was better than most people expected. He didn't get taken out early like everybody predicted. People forget he started off as a boxer. He's not completely. But that's pretty good, huh? Now he can go either way. I think the boxing purses are still bigger. That's what I read in the paper.
Starting point is 00:23:59 But can you imagine having those kind of skills? Want to get in a fight with that guy? So we'll talk about that. And we're going to talk about that and we're gonna talk about guess what the left-wing uh fucking pussies the anarchists routed the uh right-wing demonstrators in berkeley california this weekend you know they showed up with their little faggy masks and their hoodies and and their weapons and shit but yeah but it's the people on the right who are the problem. Right? Wrong. So, yeah, when we come back, we'll talk McGregor, Mayweather, and we'll talk a little more about our Stress Factory experience.
Starting point is 00:24:40 All right, kids, 866-969-1969. Back after this. You're listening to The Nick DiPaolo Show on Faction Talk Sirius XM 103. And now, back to The Nick DiPaolo show on SiriusXM, Faction Talk 103. Hi, welcome back, folks. The Monkees. That's how I know my career's kicking off. Every time I do a theater, Mickey Dolenz is there the week before.
Starting point is 00:25:33 I swear to God. I can still smell his cologne in the room. Love the fucking Monkees. What are you laughing at? It's just, you know, I meet a lot of Monkees fans. I love the fucking Monkees. I know you do. That's why I play. You play because I requested it, you silly bitch.
Starting point is 00:25:51 Listen. Andy, don't. Bye-bye, dickhead. I don't even know what that means. All right, folks. Did you see the fight? I want everybody to call in, especially the angry lesbians. I know they enjoy this means. All right, folks. Did you see the fight? I want everybody to call in, especially the angry lesbians. I know they enjoy this type of, uh, what?
Starting point is 00:26:09 You can't say. Did you see, uh, by the way, did you see somebody dressing down Caitlyn Jenner this weekend? Some LGBTs calling her a fucking fraud and stuff because he supports Trump's policies. And, you know, trump has that anti-trans thing in the military so this black broad trans and again she represents most people in the mainstream right i'm so fucking tired of this country honest to god i'm gonna move to uh switzerland anyhow did you guys watch the fight i thought it was a terrific fight i really i gotta be honest though uh well let's let's get right to the fucking i got a whole audio here of the actual
Starting point is 00:26:51 tko and the 10th McGregor on the run. A shot. Left hook. Another hook. And it's over. Robert Byrd says it's over. Robert Byrd, head of the Ku Klux Klan and a former senator. Did anybody notice that? I did. I thought he... Black ref. We all know that Senator Byrd was a... Hillary was a protege of that racist Mama Luke.
Starting point is 00:27:26 But did you think he jumped in too early? That was my initial feeling. But I mean, would it come on another few? You know, I mean, another few shots and he would have been on his ass. So I don't know. I hate when a ref stands there and watches somebody get brain dead, too. But, you know, McGregor handled that good, too, by the way. He didn't whine about it.
Starting point is 00:27:47 You know, he said he was more tired. Boy, he hit a brick wall as far as fatigue goes. And, again, because, you know, he hasn't gone that many minutes, I guess. 25, I think, as far as UFC. But he hit a brick wall. You could tell his arms got heavy. And, yes, Andy. That's his knock in ufc fights too
Starting point is 00:28:05 even in his own element is that right gets gassed yeah he gets gassed yeah because he goes nuts he likes to put on a show but uh floyd mayweather you know again man even when uh even when mcgregor was tagging him they didn't look like they were anything that was going to hurt him some good stiff jabs at the beginning and landed some good shots one uppercut yeah uh but but you know floyd has a chin too that people don't talk about ask his wife i uh what um but uh entertaining and again most of the world thought uh you know that mcgregor was going to get clocked a couple rounds in and this and that. And again, maybe a Floyd Mayweather and his prime would have fucking dropped them early.
Starting point is 00:28:51 You know, Floyd's 40. He's not at his best right now. But it was an entertaining fight because I think we're all hoping, you know, I was kind of hoping that left, that McGregor left that he's known for. He was going to. But, you know floyd mayweather great boxers couldn't hit him you know so but it was much more entertaining than i think people uh you know give credit for the uh as far as the live attendance that was down because they the ticket prices were fucking ridiculous i guess so it was like 14000 there as opposed to $20,000, I think, when Pacquiao and...
Starting point is 00:29:26 Yeah, Pacquiao, Mayweather. Yeah. But they made a few bucks. McGregor got $2,000 and Mayweather got $5,500. So they made some good cake. So enjoy your cake. 866-969-1969. I'd like to hear from you people.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Where did you watch the fight? Did you pay for it at home? Did you go to a bar? Did you make a bet? Floyd tried to put money on himself. They wouldn't let him. So I guess one of his buddies did it for him. Can you imagine?
Starting point is 00:30:03 You're already guaranteed 100 mil and then a percentage of the fucking purse. And, you know, we're talking another, what did you say, 250 million on top of that? Yeah. Not to mention all the people, like two days before the fight, people are like, can I put my name in your ass? I'll give you a million dollars. That happened to me once. I got real hot in the 90s, comedy wise. And we're...
Starting point is 00:30:27 Yeah, Joe's Fish and Tackle. I put it on a windbreaker at the Denver Funny Bar. 866-969-1969. Call in, folks. I'd like to hear your opinion on the fight. Or if you just said, fuck it, I'm not going to pay a hundred bucks. Like a lot of people said, because this is going to be a massacre. Which it wasn't let's go to dave in uh kansas city dave what's going on
Starting point is 00:31:03 dave god damn it dave i'm talking to you dave going once going twice the guy was, wasn't he on hold for 10 minutes? Let him hang in there. Let's go to Matt in Chicago. Matt, what's happening? Nick, what's up, buddy? Oh, not too much, Matt. Did you watch the fight? I did.
Starting point is 00:31:21 I watched the fight, and I paid for it at home because I'm a fucking capitalist and not a goddamn communist. Good for you. It was a goddamn communist. Good for you. It was a good fight, but I'll be honest with you, if that's the greatest boxer of all time, then boxing fucking sucks dick, man. Well, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on. Let me stop you.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Nobody said he's the greatest of all time. I mean, he did in a few other people. A lot of experts going into this fight had Mayweather pegged as the greatest of all time. He's certainly not, in my book, the greatest. But Matt, you're judging him on one fight when he's 40 years old? You've got to look at his whole career. You sound like a dope.
Starting point is 00:31:55 I'm not going to judge him. No, no, no. But I would certainly say 10 rounds to finish a guy with zero professional fights? Come on. I mean... First of all, okay, but he started off as a boxer. And, you know, it's not like he was fighting somebody who just took three boxing lessons. I mean, and Mayweather is far, far past his prime. So, you know.
Starting point is 00:32:20 I certainly understand that. But if you put him in the the prime boxer yes i think the number to the world and put him in the octagon against mcgregor it doesn't get out of the first round well that's a bit that's a different argument course now you get a fucking study u f c over here but skype the greatest i'm so i'm just surprised to see a goat and wasn't disappointed. I thought the fight was fucking great.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Yeah. I was entertained. No, I hear you. I was surprised to see Mayweather win. Yeah. But I was just, I was surprised to see, I was impressed by McGregor. I guess I should just say that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:59 I was impressed. That's better. That's better. Okay, your phone keeps cutting out, Matt, but I get your point. Thank you. What did he say? I look up at the screen. It says, Matt says, if this is the best fucking box, then boxing sucks dick.
Starting point is 00:33:18 866-969-1969. Where the fuck are you people? I feel like Mayweather right now. Who saw the fight? Who was disappointed? Who was excited? Should that be considered his 50th win as far as boxing goes? The answer is no
Starting point is 00:33:37 by the way. The answer is a big fat no. But crying out loud. You know what? What do you think, Andy? Do you think Gadget should be considered the 50th win? No. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:52 To me, it was an exhibition. An exhibition. More than anything else. Yeah. Entertaining one. I lean toward the side that it was called a little too early. I would have liked to have seen a knockdown. But I get it.
Starting point is 00:34:04 That's his job to make, you know. Yeah. That's the ref's job to stop it if he thinks it's... Yeah. But it was entertaining. I don't know why people... Yeah, I was listening to sports radio yesterday, and the guy goes,
Starting point is 00:34:14 eh, this is about as predicted as a fight as it could have come. I said, but it was entertaining. This is exactly what I was in for. People, if you listen to enough people, there's so many fucking idiots on this planet that I'm ready to get off. I enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:34:27 He said that like Carol Channing talking about her coffee. I enjoyed it. Hello, Dolly. Carol Channing? Did I really do a Carol Channing? 866-969-1969. The phone.
Starting point is 00:34:40 But did you just hear that argument? Well, if he, if Floyd fought him in the UFC, what? What are you talking about? Takes years to get your fucking black belts and shit, doesn't it? Takes years to become that type of boxer, too, I understand.
Starting point is 00:34:54 But they don't. They don't. In UFC, you have to know how to do both, grapple and box. In boxing, you don't have to Learn how to grapple and shit So that's a stupid Right? I did think Floyd
Starting point is 00:35:09 Or Connor You could see Him wanting to go And revert to his He kept popping him On the top of the head He kept going behind his back That was making me laugh
Starting point is 00:35:16 866-969-1969 I'm gonna try to get Rogan to call in Tomorrow If we can get a hold of him Probably not too busy today, is he? But the money that guy makes. The money, folks. I'm looking up at a tweet here.
Starting point is 00:35:36 Darren Rovell. Guaranteed payday per minute of tonight's fight. Floyd Mayweather made $3,571,429 a minute. I'll repeat that. $3,571,000 per minute. Conor McGregor made $1,071,429 per minute. I'm clearing 18.5 this year doing comedy. That's 18,500. And I'll give you a better show. I'll get you in a fucking figure eight lock. Andy, look that up. I have no idea. If you don't laugh at me.
Starting point is 00:36:18 For the love of Pete. Let's go to Brendan in Minnesota. Brendan, how are you? Hey, what's up? what's going on well i just want to say that i think uh this should be counted as his 50th win yeah why is that well because it's not like he's fighting some someone who didn't have any experience at all he was i mean it was a pretty good it's a pretty uh i guess i'd say it was a fair enough fight i mean i know it's not boxer versus boxer but yeah it's not the best.
Starting point is 00:36:46 He's got a pretty high skill level, McGregor did. I mean, I don't think people should say that. Mayweather didn't earn the win because he fucking earned it. You know? It's not like he just walked all over him. Yeah, but would you be saying that if he knocked him out in the first round? Would you still be saying... No, no, I wouldn't.
Starting point is 00:37:02 No, I wouldn't. But I think it's evidence that... Well, that's hindsight that's that's uh monday that's monday morning quarterback huh whatever you got it no i hear you no that's why i'm bringing it up it's a debate something marciano's kid said no because even this he said even there's some unknown boxes out there some young guy coming out there would have been better boxer than could have been a better boxer than Conor. But I hear you. It's a good argument,
Starting point is 00:37:28 Brendan. I appreciate it. Thanks for the call. Alrighty then. Jeff in Indiana. What's going on, Jeff? Did you see the fight? Did you pay for it? Hey, what's going on, man? Yeah, I did see it. Went to my daughter's house
Starting point is 00:37:44 and watched it, so it was a good fight. But just curious if you hadn't seen, you mentioned Rogan a minute ago. Yeah. Had you seen the tweet that he put out where the New York Times had said that McGregor's face was completely bloodied and he was almost pushed out of the ring to end the fight? That's what the New York Times said? Yeah. Look on Rogan's tweet. It was on Saturday night right after the fight. That's what the New York Times said? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:05 Look on Rogan's tweet. It was on Saturday night right after the fight. Who the fuck wrote that tweet? Frank Rich, the Broadway critic? Fucking bitch. Yeah, I didn't look at it that close.
Starting point is 00:38:15 He pushed him. His face was all red. No, he said he was completely bloodied. Completely bloodied. Jesus Christ. Check it out, man. I just wanted to say hey and great show.
Starting point is 00:38:27 Thanks, Jeff. Thanks for the call. I did not see that tweet. I don't like the research for the show. It slows it down. And he pulled that tweet up. I want to see who wrote it exactly. I'm guessing Frank Rich, Broadway critic, the real political guy.
Starting point is 00:38:43 I was actually going to debate him on Gnome's radio show. But once again, fucking, you know, stand-up got in the way of a $20 stand-up gig got in the way of interesting. Whatever. If you find that, let me know.
Starting point is 00:39:00 Let's go to let's go to Jimmy in Wisconsin. Hey, Jimmy, what's up? What's up, big guy? How's life? Pretty good, man. Did you see the fight? Did you?
Starting point is 00:39:12 Yes, I did. I, I, uh, I went ahead and spent the money on it and invited my grandpa and a couple of family members over and got my grandpa pretty trashy. Then you got in a fight with him? Well, he was going for the white guy for a while. And then it all changed. But I just had a question. Do you think the racial divide would have been a little bit different if
Starting point is 00:39:34 McGregor was an American instead of from Ireland or wherever? Oh, Christ, yeah. Absolutely. Because my grandpa was bringing that up, you know, and he just kept saying, he's like, you know, we went to get alcohol for the night, and we bought some cookies for a fundraiser. Well, there was a black lady who was trying to bump money, and she was getting on us because we gave these kids money for this fundraiser, but we didn't give her any money. And that's when my grandpa and me started talking about how, you know, this would have been a little bit more racially divided if that was true.
Starting point is 00:40:09 Yeah. No, that's actually a great point. Yeah. I mean, if he was an American, no doubt about it, it would have been. Racial slurs, racial put-downs sound a lot better when you have an Irish brogue. They don't sound as mean. Oh, for sure. But absolutely, there's definitely a higher tolerance when it's somebody,
Starting point is 00:40:30 when it's a white guy from another nation against an American black. Yeah, I agree with your grampy there, your papaw. I love your show, man. Keep on keeping on, brother. Thank you, Jimmy. Take care. This is from the New York Times. Is this from?
Starting point is 00:40:48 Left is the original. The right is the amended. Left is the original. The fight's over. Mayweather backed McGregor onto the ropes with a series of rights and lefts. McGregor's face was completely bloodied. I can't believe New York Times. He was about to fall through the ropes when the referee stepped on us. You know what? There's a racial angle to that. Because it's the believe New York Times. He was about to fall through the ropes when the referee stepped on us.
Starting point is 00:41:05 You know what? There's a racial angle to that. Because it's the fucking New York Times. And this guy's printing what he was hoping would happen. I swear to Christ. I swear to God. They're that fucking retarded and liberal. Who put that up?
Starting point is 00:41:19 I want to know who wrote it. Do we have that? So that's the original. Hold on. Okay. And now here's the amended one. This fight's over. Mayweather backed McGregor onto the ropes with a series of rights left.
Starting point is 00:41:33 McGregor's face was red and swollen. Now you're describing a baboon's ass. He was staggering into the ropes when the referee stepped in to stop the fight. Who wrote that? Was diane or was that pam who were who tweeted this that doesn't really matter front row brian who i stephan molyneux stephan molyneux probably stephanie um honest to god anybody agree with me on that because it's the new york times they wanted it sound like i swear to god you guys think i'm fucking nuts that's how crazy they are they wanted to make it sound like the black guy beat this white guy silly face bloodied
Starting point is 00:42:14 give me a break i finish a cheeseburger i get more blood on my face stefan unbelievable they can't they can't report anything without a bias huh let's go to jay in toronto used to date uh hey jay how are you good nick how you doing buddy pretty good thank you i think it was a big choreograph to be honest that crossed my mind jay i gotta be honest with you a little bit i'm like because they charged people $100 a pop, and I'm like, it crossed my mind. But then, I don't know, I changed my mind. It looked like they were actually landing good. Well, the first four rounds when Mayweather kept ducking his head,
Starting point is 00:42:57 and then McGregor's hitting him with those hammer fists in the back of the head, and I think he lost points there or he would have won the bout. But it looked a little choreographed and staged to me. I don't know. Yeah, maybe. You know, I mean... You look at the boxing match before it
Starting point is 00:43:12 and that was two boxers actually boxing. Yeah. Not taking anything away from Conor. Like, I mean, he went 10 rounds. That's great. But it looked off to me. It really did. I thought I was watching a WWE event.
Starting point is 00:43:24 Well, maybe it looked choreographed because it wasn't two boxes. One of them, you know what I mean? Maybe that's why it might have come across. But I don't think so. But there was a lot of rabbit punching going on the first few rounds. Absolutely. Yeah, Mayweather just looked like an idiot, too. I mean, ducking his head and doing all the things a boxer shouldn't do.
Starting point is 00:43:43 I kind of scratched my head going, what the hell is he doing? He knows better. You mean McGregor? Yeah, you didn't mean McGregor. You didn't mean Mayweather. Ducking his head. No, Mayweather. He just kept ducking his head and all that. Well, that's part of boxing. That's what made him a great boxer. Nobody
Starting point is 00:43:59 could hit him. That's not... Yeah, but the way he was doing it, getting those hammer fists in the back of the head and stuff, he would have known better. Oh, okay. I see what you're saying. Yeah, he kept ducking under him. I get you. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Yeah, yeah. Thanks, Jay. There was that point late where McGregor had completely abandoned his defense to the point I screamed, I go, put your hands up. He just said no. Yeah, no. He hit a wall, man. It's like me three minutes into sex.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I can't lift my arms, honey. He hit a wall, man. It's like me three minutes into sex. I can't lift my arms, honey. Do me. Knock me out. Do me. Do me. Anyways. Patrick in Arizona says he's got an opinion about Mayweather's performance.
Starting point is 00:44:44 Pat, how are you? Did you pay for the fight or did you steal it? I did. My cousin. No, I did. I was sitting on the couch debating whether or not to do it
Starting point is 00:44:52 and I thought, you know what, I want to see this just in case. Isn't that amazing, Pat? You know how many people probably did what you did? Seriously.
Starting point is 00:45:01 Last minute impulse. Last minute impulse like a fucking Snickers bar at the register or a Sun Times. It minute impulse. Last minute impulse like a fucking Snickers bar at the register or a Sun Times. It really is. I was performing, so I couldn't. Luckily, the club put it on right after my show was over.
Starting point is 00:45:14 But I would have done the same thing as you. I think I would have sat there until a minute before the fight and then probably given in. Yeah, I didn't watch a lot of the pre-fight hype, even throughout the whole process where they're trying to sell it. But I have to admit that I thought it was just perfect timing for Mayweather to fight this guy. I think it was strategy, honestly. Listening to Mayweather's corner, his corner was yelling, just wait for the fourth, wait for the fourth. Ultimately, McGregor, I think they were just waiting for him to punch himself out. Yeah, that's what they said after.
Starting point is 00:45:45 That's what he said after the fight. You could see it. Yeah. They kept saying, shh. McGregor caught him with an uppercut at one point, and that would have been the game changer, and it didn't have enough on it to stop him in his tracks. Yeah, that was the best punch that he landed.
Starting point is 00:46:00 That's what I said. His other punch, you know, he had some stiff jabs in there, but Mayweather has a pretty decent chin, as I understand it. So, yeah, I would have liked to. Again, I think we were all hoping for McGregor to sneak that sneaky left hook in. But, again, Mayweather's known for his defense. So it was still entertaining. I thought it was.
Starting point is 00:46:23 And I read somewhere that actually Mayweather got hit more in this fight on average. I think, you know, McGregor landed 90-plus punches, and I don't think anyone's done that in the last several fights versus Mayweather, so he was clearly okay with, even in the first round, looking like he was
Starting point is 00:46:40 roped open a little bit for a short time, and then after a while, I think the reason, I mean, at least from my, you know, chip seats perspective, it looked like at one point when a fighter gets another guy measured, everything starts landing. And you could see that on Mayweather. It's like every time his fist ended somewhere, it was, it all of a sudden it was at the end of McGregor's face.
Starting point is 00:46:59 And that's what McGregor said after the fight, how poised Mayweather was. And that comes from that, you know, 50 fights. And that's exactly McGregor said after the fight, how poised Mayweather was. And that comes from that, you know, 50 fights. And that's exactly what it looked like. Thanks for the call, Pat. I appreciate it. You got it. Thanks, Dick.
Starting point is 00:47:11 All right. He did. He just started. And that was his game plan. That's what it looked like. Anyways. Let's go to Fred in Tennessee. Fred, what's going on?
Starting point is 00:47:24 Oh, what's happening? That wasn't a fight. That should have been called a fight. It should have been called an exhibition. Well, that's the big controversy. A lot of people saying, should that count as his 50th win? Mayweather's 50th win.
Starting point is 00:47:41 No, it wasn't a 50th win. It should have been just like when Rocky fought Thunder Lips in Rocky III. It's the exact same thing. I think you're going a little too far, but... Fucking Thunder Lips. Holy shit. Now, that was an exhibition. I was waiting for McGregor.
Starting point is 00:47:57 That was an exhibition. You know what, Fred? You know what I was waiting for? I was hoping Conor McGregor was going to get really frustrated and just snap. And that's what I thought. You know, get him some type of leg lock. Flying knee. A nice flying knee right to his face.
Starting point is 00:48:13 Pay him. Take my money. Sorry. Yeah, flying knee. Can you imagine if he fucking roundhoused him right to the temple? Oh, that would have been awesome. And they would have had it done a rematch. I was actually hoping for that
Starting point is 00:48:25 but uh alright Fred thanks for the call the best pay per view is if they swap it I would pay money to see Mayweather step into an MMA ring I'd pay a lot more than what I did and I paid a lot I don't think it's going to happen
Starting point is 00:48:40 thanks Fred anyways we'll keep on taking calls folks now the phones are lighting up everybody's got an opinion on mayweather and uh and whatever and uh i'm out of stories anybody else if you find anything somebody if somebody robbed my house or something what anything anything um yeah let's uh let's take a break here and come back, and we'll talk more Mayweather, McGregor, and we'll talk about the money they made
Starting point is 00:49:10 and where McGregor goes from here and where I go from here to the toilet.
