I'm just like, yo. Don't hold me hostage. Let's just go. Like, take the picture. I like those. But if we have a genuine connection and I vibe with someone and we end up talking for, like, five minutes, even better. But you can't try and facilitate that. But, yeah, it's when people come. And then they hang around. And then they won't leave. Yeah.
And I'm just, don't hold me hostage with your conversation.
You. I did something real silly. Yeah. You will remember this. And this is another one of those things. I can tell you now because we're boys. But I met you at UFC 192 when Dan fought Yair. And I met you backstage at the weigh-ins. And then I came to say what's up. And then I did fucking bot shit, bro. Then I was like...
And I was like, oh yeah, let's take this picture. And then for the next like five hours, idiot. Why'd you say that? And I just felt cringed. I got over it eventually. But again, it's one of those things that you learn. Yeah, certain things I learned. Even with Snoop one time at Staples Center, when it was at Staples Center, I ended up smoking with him. But then I filmed it.
And then afterwards, I remember thinking, like, why did you do that? You should have just enjoyed the fucking moment. And I cringe at myself when I'm like, ugh. Who doesn't want to fucking smoke with Snoop Dogg? But why did I have to film it so I can show people? Did I post it? I did post it. Yeah, of course I posted it. But again, it's one of those things I learned now.
So there's people I've met, places I've been now that I enjoyed the experience and it is what it is. I don't need a photo. It's in here. I've taken snapshots.
You don't remember that one, do you?
Good. Oh, for the next five hours or to the next day. I think the fight's here the next day. I was just like, okay. Then I kind of got over it. And I just think, and I told Chris when I went home, I was like, yeah, I told him about that. And I felt so stupid. It's like, oh. But I know now it's better because when I meet people I really appreciate, I don't geek out or whatnot.
I'm just like, yo, that's that person. I kind of birdwatch them. And if they recognize me, one of the coolest ones was Eminem in Saudi Arabia because everyone was trying to get a photo. And then my guy, Ike, security just goes, hey, Em, Israel would like to take a photo. He goes, oh, yo, what's up? And he came and took a photo with me. And out of everyone, he let me take a photo with him.
So I was like, yeah, I felt cool because it's Eminem. You know what I mean? So things like that I'll appreciate. And certain moments like that I appreciate. But I don't. I don't force it. I don't try and facilitate it. I just let it be. I just let it be. And if I get it, cool. And I don't need it. That's the thing. You don't need to take a photo for everything. Just enjoy the moment.
Enjoy the interaction. Enjoy the energy.
I'm better now. The coolest one I think I had was Trump. What was this? Vegas at the fights. I haven't even, the clip was one of the UFC's thing, documentaries. And someone was like, oh, yo, America's Last Hope, what's up? I dapped him up. And Dana's there just smiling. And then we're talking. We just dapping up and talking. And then he's like, enjoy your fight, this and that.
And it wasn't weird because, again, I can understand. Like, I'm meant to be here now.
Sometimes I get imposter syndrome. Sometimes it still creeps in. I don't know if you still get it. It still creeps in, but I know how to identify it now. And I go, right, I'm going to shut it down, like any emotion. Yeah, that was one of the cooler ones I had where I was like, okay, I handled myself well. I wasn't an idiot. And many other ones. But, yeah, the ones... And there will be more.
I felt that a little bit yesterday. But... I went to the mothership a little bit, but again, you watch it on YouTube all the time. You're like, oh my God, me and my wife's like, we're here. This is cool. And then only for a little bit, but I realized I'm meant to be here because everyone's standing around me. I'm kind of having to hold court, but I kind of just want to shut up and just be like,
This is cool.
Yeah. But everyone's around me. And I was just cool. And Ari was the man, bro. He's just such a funny dude. So tall. And talking about kickboxing with him. And, yeah. I'll probably head there tonight, see what's up. And I'll try and not geek out so much.
Play it cool. Play it cool.
You guys did it, man. You literally, I think it was Ron White that kind of started the idea, and then all of you started to just march to Austin one by one.
I just came back from LA, so the contrast is definitely, you can see it.
