You must love yourself first before you are able to love others (her). Your wife is a teacher holding up a mirror for you.

Eat healthy, work out, watch some stand up, smoke some weed, exhaust yourself physically then throw out a prayer and welcome the change. You got this!

@UC8hUaqzC_qCUmxHDgcF-niw movies like vision quest move so many people broadly speaking because regardless if one trains , life itself is a fight… “fighting is the best thing a man can have in his soul…” R.G. Thank you for this amazing interview. I was already a Dana fan after seeing a clip of him defending free speech for his fighters from the legacy media. After this interview my respect for him only grew after learning about his loyalty and how he was willing to throw it all away for Rogan his friend. Powerful stuff. Thank you Lex. 🙏

Listening to Dana talk about the scale and the beginnings of the UFC is so fun. "Building a good team". I can't believe they stuck with it. Well done.

Loved the transition into Dana saying he's "not a fan of people fighting at our age" about Mike Tyson in his 50s, about 6 seconds after talking about how he tried to make a fight involving Elon Musk in his 50s...

@treali Місяць тому
Well Zuck and Musk would probably not go for punching and mostly do jujutsu and grappling. The problem when fighting at that age is punches to the head.
@onetwo8847 Місяць тому
@@treali "probably" is not a good arguement lol. You have a situation where you have a guy who is in shape, not even 40 and has actually spent some time training MMA and competing in athletic events, Against a guy in his 50s, completely untrained and who looks like he couldn't do 5 pushups. Both fights are freak shows and that's why it's hypocritical to act like one is safe and the other isn't. For every argument you could make about how it's more dangerous for Mike as Jake is trained, you could just as easily make the reverse argument that at least Mike is in shape and has endless experience along with an elite understanding of boxing defense, whilst Zuck could potentially just throw a big overhand with Elon not having a clue how to defend himself. Some of the worst knockouts come when 2 novices fight but one has at least a slight understanding of what he's doing whilst the other has no clue how to protect himself TLDR - not even saying zuck/Elon is worse, but dana acting like one is bad whilst pushing the other, is silly

I would LOVE to be able to follow Dana White around, be a fly on the wall, in the further-est corner of the room and not even speak, just to LISTEN to the man and the Wisdom he shares. I could not tell you how many interviews I have listen to Dana give... and they never get old. I have so much respect for what he has achieved in his life, so far. I can't wait to watch what he has in store. I watched my first Lex podcast... 3hrs long... this morning. I can never sit through very many hours of an interview without getting bored. I didn't get bored once and immediately Sub'ed and 🔔'ed. Then a few hours ago I got this notification with Mr. Dana White. I believe I'm going to be a long time subscriber, because there are a lot of interviews to watch. Thank you Mr. Fridman Thank you Mr. White

Isn't that interesting... I'm kinda with you. Dana's pov made me want to learn more, you can put yourself in his shoes and see through his eyes almost the way he is, he's a real one for sure.

I watched the Stephen and Forest fight with my friends elderly grandmother… this little old country granny had never watch one single UFC fight and I’m sitting right beside her and we were both screaming at the tv!!!! Granny was the best!! I still feel so blessed for that moment with her and kinda shameful that it was an absolute bloodbath in her beautiful little living room!!😅😅😅
@lostandlooking Місяць тому
Awesome! I have great memories of watching tennis with my Grandmother. I know it's different, but always fun seeing the elderly into sport.
