From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is the Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, boxer and actor Deontay Wilder, health and fitness expert Kim Bright, and the news with Alicia Krause.

100.187 - 123.366 Unknown

And now, Adam Corolla. Yeah, get it on. Got to get it on. The trust to get on mandate. Get it on. And Deontay Wilder's back. On the show, we've got a movie coming out in theaters January 30th. Moses the Black, he's in it, has a nice role in it, and is doing a little bit of acting. Good to see you again. Yeah, man. Likewise. How you doing? I'm doing well.

124.227 - 154.103 Unknown

I'm a huge boxing fan, so I'm a huge fan of yours. Oh, man. I used to teach boxing, believe it or not, back in the day. So I've always been a fan. And I've always been a fan of yours because, well, first off, heavyweight, you know, fighting at 6'7 and, you know, 220 or so is kind of nuts. And I started thinking it's kind of – It's like Thomas Hearns.

154.184 - 166.152 Unknown

Thomas Hitman Hearns is 6'1", 6'2", fought at like 148. Super lean, but great leverage. Huge leverage in his punches, right?

167.06 - 177.737 Deontay Wilder

That's true. The Hitman Hearn, if he touch you, if he hit you, it could be lights out for you. You know what I mean? Hitman was the man for sure. He had that small body frame.

Chapter 2: How does Deontay Wilder describe his boxing style and leverage?

807.888 - 832.109 Deontay Wilder

It become confusing when you start adding so many weights and things like that, even with the belts. Like I said before, this is a Gladiator business, so when we look at it, it should be one champion, one face, one name. That's it. You know what I mean? It makes it more... it makes it more interesting and it makes it more, you feel more empowered. Like, I got the title. The one title.

0

832.309 - 853.605 Deontay Wilder

It's one champion, one face, one name, and everybody trying to come and get my spot. And we're defending it over and over again for challengers that's coming up. Now, I understand that We all think of ideas to make money and having so many belts make money. You know what I mean? But it comes to a point in time where you got to have enough belts and say, this is it, enough weight classes.

0

853.765 - 873.272 Deontay Wilder

I don't think you should go nothing past the heavyweight division. You know, the heavyweight division is a special, special, special division. And that's why everybody can't rumble in that jungle. It's only certain people can roam in that jungle, the heavyweight division. And I don't think it should be a... Within the jungle, you got to go into a cave, and that's the super heavyweight division.

0

873.753 - 894.523 Deontay Wilder

I don't... Because now you're trying to get... It's already... The heavyweight division is already consist of small and big guys. And me, as you can see, it's coming up. Nobody has ever seen such a small guy as I. Fighting guys 20, 30, 40, 50, even sometimes 60 pounds heavier than I and still able to knock them off their feet. I'm, you know, I'm one of those diamond in the rough.

894.543 - 916.498 Deontay Wilder

God has truly blessed me. But when you get to a super heavyweight, these guys is already big. Just think about a super heavyweight. That's unhealthy for one, you know, to have all your body like that. But you really, really training. I don't think a super heavyweight would be interesting because you will have big floppy guys. Or should I say big sloppy guys? Yeah.

916.681 - 936.956 Deontay Wilder

You know, and I don't think it'll be that much work. You wouldn't want to see that. You know, you wouldn't have the styles of what you just, the three styles that you have seen. You know, I think it'll be too much. You know, you already got guys in the heavyweight division, 300 pounds. You know, I know a guy, he about 300 pounds, three something pounds. I think the highest was a 400-pound guy.

936.976 - 942.744 Deontay Wilder

You know what I mean? Just imagine a super heavyweight. Like, what would that weight class be like? What would that look like?

942.984 - 954.581 Unknown

Well, what you'd do is you'd cut it off. You'd cut it off at, like, 250 or something like that, and anything above that was, like, super heavyweight. I don't know.

Chapter 3: What are the challenges of being a heavyweight boxer?

2276.891 - 2284.099 Unknown

And for some reason we're calling it a bad thing and we're trying to get rid of it, but it worked. It worked historically. It works.

0

2284.079 - 2311.123 Deontay Wilder

through the dawn of time and these sort of traditional roles are good roles and they and they have the best outcome as well moselle i 100 agree with you now if you can have both mom and dad that's a beautiful beautiful thing you know i mean it's a you know and um when did your mom come back She came back, maybe she was probably gone for maybe a year, I would say.

0

2311.464 - 2318.429 Deontay Wilder

If I can remember, it was so long ago. She probably left about a year and came back. Within, I would say, no more than a year, maybe.

0

2318.69 - 2322.735 Unknown

Did both your parents see your success? Are they around today?

0

2322.775 - 2338.797 Deontay Wilder

Oh, yeah, yeah. They're still around today. They're still around. They ended up divorcing around about 16, when I was 16. And they finally just really just, you know, permanently separated at 16. But they're still around today. They're still, yeah.

2338.977 - 2343.043 Unknown

Were you able to take care of them, get them a house, do those kinds of things? Almost everything.

2343.918 - 2367.208 Deontay Wilder

I've been taking care of my shit since I was 12 with my brothers then and all that. Even giving my mom money at 12 years old. You know what I mean? I was a big saver. So when I got money, I would save it all the time and I would help out. But, you know, I've helped my entire family out. Over and over. Even their children. Is it tough?

2367.288 - 2387.121 Unknown

I mean, because they know, you know, you get this multi-million dollar payday. You know, like, here's the thing. No one I know made any money either, but people don't really know exactly how much money I make. They just know I make more money than them, so they think I can help them. But they didn't hear that I got a $50,000 paycheck.

2387.101 - 2410.544 Unknown

sorry, $50 million payday or whatever that number is, which would let them know, come on, you could kick a few bucks down my way. You know, you must have that with your family. And then I don't know how you deal with it because people deal with it in different ways. Sometimes they cut people off. Sometimes they get into arguments. Sometimes they like doing it for them.

Chapter 4: What are the health risks associated with microplastics in our bodies?

3924.169 - 3953.07 Kim Bright

And what happens is instead of being filled with testosterone and zinc and other things that are supposed to be there in each and every receptor site, it gets filled with BPA and heavy metals. And these plastics are just devastating our whole body. I mean, and this study found that BPA actually degrades the, you know, by using the Bacillus pumilus in the kimchi, and it's unique to kimchi.

0

3953.05 - 3968.227 Kim Bright

And then I found another study where it showed two other lactobacillus strains that are also found in kimchi actually will absorb and excrete the microplastics in vivo, meaning in something that's alive.

0

Chapter 5: How does kimchi help combat harmful substances in our body?

3969.008 - 3993.295 Kim Bright

Bacillus parcassii and Bacillus plantarum. So this was very exciting because there was nothing up until this point that I could find that was going to be able to do something about all these plastics that are in our body. And another thing, too, I wanted to let people know is they alter these microplastics are altering our DNA. They're causing DNA damage.

0

Chapter 6: What are the unique health benefits of kimchi compared to other fermented foods?

3993.335 - 4003.866 Kim Bright

They're changing our gene expression. They're interfering with DNA repair mechanisms. And this is concerning because this is a known risk factor for cancer.

0

4005.828 - 4014.837 Unknown

So I've heard, I mean, recently, a lot of discussion about fermented foods and sauerkraut and stuff like that.

0

Chapter 7: How can incorporating kimchi into your diet improve overall health?

4015.698 - 4030.037 Unknown

And then kimchi is sort of the king of the hill in the fermented food department. So what else, by the way, falls under the heading of that? Is it sauerkraut? Where do pickles land?

0

4030.338 - 4054.856 Kim Bright

Well, first, let me let me say that there was another study because I love to reference science because I like facts. I don't like going off of, oh, I'm just pulling this out of my rear end. There's another study that shows how multifaceted kimchi really is. And that was a cancer preventative study. And this study had the conclusion that. And let me quote directly from it.

0

4054.916 - 4073.524 Kim Bright

The antibiotic tolerant probiotic presented in kimchi suppresses expression of carcinogen activating enzymes and possesses many other health benefits, such as suppression of growth, development of pathogenic bacteria, intestinal regulation and immune boosts, especially the WC baria.

0

4073.504 - 4100.44 Kim Bright

and L. plantarum found in kimchi have many effects like anti-inflammatory, immune modulating, and blood cholesterol reducing activity, which may account for their cancer preventative and anti-cancer potential, unquote. So to answer your question about sauerkraut, pickles, and all of that, kimchi is the king of fermented foods. Why? It has over 900 unique probiotic strains,

0

4100.42 - 4122.744 Kim Bright

So many of them are not found in other fermented foods like sauerkraut and pickles. Sauerkrauts are great fermented food. Please continue to eat it. Pickles are great as long as you're not buying them in the middle of the supermarket and they're dead. They've been pasteurized. But kimchi is the king because it has these unique 900. Nothing else touches it.

4123.124 - 4148.432 Kim Bright

Sauerkraut's great, but it doesn't touch kimchi with all kimchi's probiotics. So You know, ever since we were born, we have a war going in our gut for the good and the bad bacteria. And we want to eat foods that are going to supply the good bacteria to the greatest degree that we can. And kimchi does that. And kimchi also helps with the gut lung axis. I mean,

4148.412 - 4174.662 Kim Bright

Out in LA with all that fire and all that pollution you guys live in, the COPD out there must be unbelievable. And then the gut-liver axis also acts from, you know, is affected by eating food like kimchi because the liver is such an important organ. to take down inflammation and fatty liver disease. If you have that, your liver doesn't function right. It can't filter.

4174.842 - 4191.126 Kim Bright

It can't help with the hormone distribution or the fats or the sugars and turn the sugar into glycogen when we've eaten too much. Then we have gut-brain axis that is directly affected too by eating kimchi.

4191.106 - 4211.747 Kim Bright

And people that have poor moods or anxiety or depression or stress or cognitive decline, early onset dementia, when they're not eating this food, kimchi, and supplying these good guys to their gut, they're not getting these benefits. And then last, gut-skin axis.
