It seems like just yesterday that the Two Guys Five Rings podcast was in Paris for the Olympics. And now we're heading to Milan for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Winter Games. I'm Bowen Yang. And I'm Matt Rogers. You are the pan-Mediterranean icon. And I've always said that. I think they really thought about us when they picked these cities out and said, you know what would be easiest for Matt and Bowen? For their hit podcast.
Well, we are the Milan Cortina of America. What do you think you are? I think I'm more Cortina. Listen to Two Guys, Five Rings on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
If one of us wins, will we all win? I'm Ashley Rayfeld, the host of the podcast Good Luck With That. Good Luck With That is a skateboarding podcast about the past, present, and future of women and gender expansive skateboarding. In our show, we'll talk with skaters like Bobby Delfino on pushing style, culture, and the conversation forward.
You break down the door, sick, now like hold the door for everyone. I believe in that solely.
So listen to Good Luck With That on iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Thank you for coming back. Part two is underway. You and Conor went back and forth on social media. But you said it's over for Conor. I mean, the money, the money that he made from Floyd, the money that he's made off his alcohol, the money that he's making now, to go back into, I mean, you're worth $300 million. To go in there and it's like, you know what? I want to get kicked in my face, hit in my face, elbowed in my face.
Need. Yeah, there's no need there. He doesn't need that. He doesn't need this anymore. Marvin Hagler said, it's hard to get up in the morning when you're sleeping on satin sheets, right? Way back in the day.
Yes, yes.
There are a few sayings in the world that are untrue. Yeah. That was. Right. Like, you know that one where it's like, to be the champion, you got to defend the belt? Yeah. That's bullshit. Ric Flair started that.
To be the man, you got to beat the man.
Yeah, Ric Flair started that, man.
That's not true. I'll beat the man that beat the man and be just as happy.
Give me one belt. The moment they put that belt on you, you're the champion. Right. But fighters have actually believed that.
Mm-hmm.
Conor, and he's one of the biggest superstars in the world. He can't walk into any room without everybody knowing who he is. So the access he has, how's he going to look past all of that to go into a training camp to fight? Right. Especially if he wants to do it right.
Francis Ngannou, he was in the UFC. He left. It seems to be there's some speculation that he might be wanting to come back. There was this talk about Francis fighting John. Yep. Would you like to see that fight?
I would have. I would have. Not now. I would now still. Back then I wanted to because Francis in his last fight against Cyril... his wrestling looked better. But I do believe that if he fought John, that's a more serviceable fight for John because John can wrestle, man. Yes. And he probably would just take Francis down.
What do Shannon and guests say about Conor McGregor's motivation to keep fighting?
Yeah, you don't want to stay toe-to-toe with him.
No, and, dude, do you remember when he would elbow people back in the day? Like... He just, I think Francis would have to knock him out. But Francis could knock people out, man. I've never seen anybody hit harder than Francis.
Yeah, he got power.
He's got the most power I've ever seen in my life. He be knocking dudes out. He hit Alistair Overeem in his head. The back of his head touched between his shoulders. He hit him with an uppercut. The back of his head touched between his shoulders as he was falling down. I've never seen anything like it.
But Francis boxed because, okay, he tied some fury and it gave him some confidence. And then he ended up fighting Anthony Joshua. He got knocked out, but he made some money. Yep.
He's the only one that's actually done that and it worked out because he was a heavyweight champ. Right. And Shannon, he looks like the heavyweight champ.
Yeah.
When he became the champion, I was like, okay, look at him.
