00:00This is a first because I think this is the first time

00:03I've ever seen anybody join us from the beach.

00:07And that is how you should probably join the damn show

00:10if you're out here.

00:11And that is Platinum Mike.

00:14Joining us here live from the beach,

00:17you got Dirty Boxing Championship, Dirty Boxing 2,

00:20tomorrow night at the hangar going down.

00:23You guys can get your tickets now at DirtyBoxingChampionship.com.

00:26The chief violence officer himself joining us here.

00:29And you can hear him on the broadcast.

00:30What's going on, Mike?

00:32Hey, what's up, Brendan?

00:33How you doing, brother?

00:34My apologies for being late.

00:37I got a little mixed up on some of my times today.

00:41I've been working like a dog in heat for freaking Dirty Boxing, man.

00:47Tomorrow night, tonight are the face-offs.

00:49I can't wait to get in front of these guys, get between them,

00:52and maybe somebody will throw some punches at me.

00:54Hey, man, you don't got to apologize.

00:56As I understand, a busy man with all these times out there.

00:59Just let the people know how exciting event you got planned coming up tomorrow night

01:03if you want to get on out there.

01:06Oh, man, I'm so excited for the event.

01:09You know, to be here in beautiful Miami.

01:12The sun is shining on us at Dirty Boxing.

01:16The show is going to be incredible.

01:18We got tons of incredible fights.

01:21These athletes putting it all on the line in a very dangerous style of fighting with boxing,

01:27with elbows and ground and pound.

01:29I mean, just so mean.

01:31All these guys are so angry.

01:33They cut weight, and they weighed in this morning.

01:36We're going to have our ceremonial weigh-ins tonight, and, you know, I'm just so excited.

01:42So, you know, it'll be free and live on YouTube.

01:45If you can't make it live at the hangar in Coconut Grove,

01:50you and me will be there ringside commentating in English.

01:53We're also broadcasting in Spanish and Portuguese as well.

01:58So make sure you guys tune in to Dirty Boxing on Saturday around 7 p.m.

02:03Platinum Mike Perry joining us here on the show.

02:08I got to ask you about this, man, because I saw you tweet about this last night.

02:11You a Love Island fan?

02:12You watching Love Island USA too?

02:14I know.

02:15I have locked in right now.

02:18It's so good, man.

02:19But the last night's episode, it was making me so mad.

02:24They tied up all the boyfriends on, like, this wall, and then they spun them around,

02:30and they brought these other dudes in the house to kiss all the girls.

02:33It was disgusting.

02:34I was like, oh, my God.

02:35I could have never been a part of this.

02:40This is crazy to me, right?

02:44So I could just imagine, you know, your career and how you've gone about business.

02:51And one of your favorite shows is Love Island?

02:56Yo, they do some crazy stuff on there.

02:58Life is about relationships, you know, relationships with business partners,

03:03with people, with your partner, your wife, you know, my wife,

03:09or for the women, their husbands, you know what I mean?

03:13That's a huge part of our lives out here.

03:15And no matter what we do in the world, you know, our lives should be first.

03:21Like, our quality of life, how our partners treat us, how we treat our partners,

03:27those are things that really matter.

03:31Not only that, like, I think it's one of these things where, like,

03:33I love the kooks on there, too.

03:35Because, like, the people who fall in love in, like, two days and, like, we're in.

03:39And I'm like, you guys barely know each other.

03:41This is crazy talk.

03:43Dude, I fell in love with my wife in two minutes.

03:47And so you think you would have been locked in on the show like that?

03:51Oh, yeah.

03:51I would have been throwing punches at anybody.

03:53You know what I mean?

03:55Like, but I would have been like, okay, you got to go for your chats.

03:59But, like, I'm watching.

04:00I'm like a hawk.

04:02I'm looking over the chats.

04:03And if there's any kind of, like, acceptance to this chat, it's over.

04:11Hey, you can't do that show, Mike.

04:14You can't.

04:15No, I couldn't.

04:15I couldn't do that show at all.

04:17Tommy did it.

04:18You going in there with the wrong attitude.

04:20You're like, I got to protect mine.

04:22You know, I haven't been single in years, man.

04:25I'm married to the love of my life.

04:28So, you know, Tommy Fury went on there.

04:31He did it, man.

04:31Props to him.

04:33The season was a little different.

04:35And I feel like this season, whoever's running the show, these challenges are getting worse and worse.

04:42And everybody's, you know.

04:44I think, I honestly think, because I thought, I think last season was, like, an all-time season for USA.

04:50Because it would never have held a candle to the British seasons.

04:53So, I think this, I think this cast came out a little boring.

04:56And so, I think they're really trying to, like, mess with them to get the season juiced up a little bit.

05:01I really like to see that these young people that were on there, I mean, they're breaking out of their shell and stuff.

05:08But they were really, like, a bunch of good kids, I feel like.

05:12I feel like they were good kids.

05:14So, it made me, it gave me hope for the next generation.

05:17So, Dirty Boxing tomorrow.

05:19Mike, you think Rosenstreich, is he the hardest puncher that's been in there so far?

05:23Because we had Yoel last time.

05:25But I remember what this guy did to Overeem's face.

05:27It's really scary.

05:28I couldn't imagine somebody trying to step in there with him three minutes, three-minute rounds, three three-minute rounds.

05:35Like, no disrespect to Cardoza.

05:38Nice dude.

05:39Met with him yesterday.

05:40But that's a tall task trying to take on Rosenstreich, dude.

05:43Yeah, I know that's right, man.

05:44I tell you, I don't know how many fighters on this DBX card watch Love Island.

05:49But I feel like if they did, you know, the love can give you power.

05:53You ever watch Captain Planet?

05:55Yes.

05:55And that one kid had the love ring.

05:58And, you know, there's a lot of power in love, man.

06:00So, Rosenstreich must have a lot of love in his heart.

06:05He's a big, dangerous guy.

06:07And to watch him in the Dirty Boxing Rules set, oh, my God.

06:12We're going to be ringside.

06:13We might get some blood on us, Tobin.

06:15Hey.

06:16Dude.

06:17Like, the last time with Arlovsky, when he was cutting dude open with the elbows.

06:23Oh.

06:23That was – it was – man, it's a show.

06:27Everyone's got to get out to this thing if you want – if you love combat sports.

06:30The setup these guys have, it's an unbelievable, like, club, cool atmosphere.

06:35Brave fights.

06:36The thing flies all night, Mike.

06:37Like, the action is nonstop.

06:39Yeah, yeah, definitely.

06:42I mean, that's the point of Dirty Boxing.

06:44We took out all the stuff that slows it down.

06:47And we got these guys just kind of standing in the pocket in a small ring.

06:50There's a little bit of room to move and set up your next attempt.

06:55But, you know, it's all kill moves.

06:58That's a big part of techniques in boxing and martial arts is, like, how to, you know,

07:06dismantle and destroy your opponent.

07:09It's a kill move.

07:12This Rob Perez, he's in on every one of your cards.

07:16He's a crazy person.

07:17He's called the Wolf, Leroy.

07:19He has a wolf now tattooed on his face.

07:21He's taking on a guy you know well in the Spartan, Alex Nicholson.

07:26You think, Alex, is he handling all the trash talk well?

07:28These guys seem like they've been getting very personal.

07:30Alex seemed pretty pissed yesterday.

07:32Well, their responses to each other.

07:35I mean, you know, the Wolf, he's a company guy, man.

07:40He's playing the game.

07:41He's talking that trash.

07:43And Alex is like a brother to me.

07:46But the Wolf has never given me any reason to not like him, you know, other than him talking trash to my brother, Alex.

07:56But they're going to fight about it.

07:59They're going to get in the ring tomorrow night.

08:00I got to get between them tonight at the face-off.

08:03So I'm a little skeptical about that one.

08:05But, you know, I think they're both handling it in different ways.

08:11Sometimes it looks different, you know, the Wolf's just talking trash, trash, trash.

08:15And then Alex is like, huh, what?

08:18So it's a little bit, you know, either we'll see the experience of Alex.

08:23And I know he's been through some rough battles with some really big competitors in the sport.

08:29And, you know, and the Wolf's a big guy, but he's shorter.

08:34He's got a short reach, you know.

08:37And me and Icebags have a bet on this one.

08:39So we got a little side bet, a little side action going on.

08:43I don't know if that's illegal or not, but come and find me, motherfuckers.

08:48I'm out here on the beach.

08:49Excuse my language.

08:50I don't know.

08:50We on the radio.

08:51But, guys, I appreciate your time today.

08:53I have another call in one minute.

08:56No problem, Mike.

08:56Get out of here.

08:57Thank you so much, Brendan.

08:58I'll see you tomorrow night, if not tonight at the face-offs.

09:02I'll see you tomorrow.

09:03Thanks so much, guys.

09:04Enjoy Dirty Boxing on Saturday.

09:07On Saturday.

09:08Don't forget to tune in.

09:09There you go.

09:10Mike Perry, Platinum Mike Perry, joining us there from the beach.

09:13We appreciate him.

09:14Hey, man.

09:15What?

09:15We almost got through it.

09:16I know.

09:17We almost.

09:18So close.

09:19Can I just say this?

09:20So close.

09:20I'm going to say this.

09:21I'm going to say this.

09:24Dude was building to that MF.

09:27Right?

09:28Like, you know when guys start talking and they get into it and they get excited, a fighter

09:34is going to cuss.

09:37Yeah.

09:38But he was going to cuss.

09:39I mean, we had a guy cuss while laying in his bed.

09:43That's true.

09:43He did an interview in his bed with just laying it back on his.

09:49And he was all mellow and calm.

09:53Then he just started cussing.

09:56You had to know.

09:58I didn't know.

09:59It was almost there.

10:00He was almost there.

10:01Can I just say this, though?

10:03He seemed so professional early on.

10:08Did he not?

10:10I'm surprised he didn't come out earlier.

10:11He seemed so professional.

10:14I let my guard down a little bit.

10:17Because, see, we do a lot of these interviews.

10:21We don't do them live.

10:24We do a lot of them at some weird hours.

10:27Yeah.

10:28Right?

10:296 o'clock on Tuesday.

10:315 o'clock on Wednesday.

10:338.30 on Friday.

10:35Right?

10:37And you don't know where these guys are as far as how many times or are they tired

10:45because they did five interviews right before you.

10:49So you don't have.

10:50And then Tobin, which is crazy,

10:53Tobin goes out of his way to get him fired up.

11:00So I'm always sitting on the edge of my seat because I don't have a dump button.

11:08Right?

11:09Yeah.

11:09And it comes out of nowhere.

11:12In fairness, he did apologize.

11:14Too late!

11:15Damage is done!

11:17Hey, wait!

11:18Wait!

11:19You know what my favorite is?

11:21Damage is done.

11:22Are we on radio?

11:24Are we live?

11:28Yeah.

11:29There we are.

11:30Now we asking?

11:31Now we asking?

11:33I thought we were going to lose him when he started talking about Love Island.

11:37Yeah, I thought it was going to go.

11:38I thought because he was already talking about,

11:41that ain't going to fly.

11:42I'm kicking somebody's ass.

11:45I can't wait to talk about Violin on the broadcast tomorrow.

11:47Oh, my God.

11:48I'm excited.

11:49Two peas in a pod.

11:50Wait.

11:51Here, Tobin.

11:53Yeah.

11:53Let me tell you what you do, okay?

11:58You go to the store.

11:59You get you a different color shirt and a different tie with the same suit.

12:06I don't do a tie.

12:06It makes it look like a different suit.

12:09I'm not doing a tie.

12:11You don't do a tie?

12:12No.

12:12Well, just do a different color shirt.

12:14All right.

12:14Okay?

12:15Do a different color shirt.

12:16If you're not going to have a tie, you can maybe get something with some stripes or something

12:21like that to kind of dress it up a little bit, and people see the shirt and your accessories,

12:27and they don't realize you're wearing the same suit.

12:29But if you wear the same shirt with a different suit, they're going to question whether you're wearing the same suit.

12:36But I don't care.

12:37I mean, I'm going to be on TV for like two seconds, and mostly no one's going to see me.

12:41That's called being professional, not wearing the same thing all the time.

12:45You should wear a tie-dye on your shirt.

12:48Stop.

12:48See?

12:50Bill Walton?

12:50Yeah.

12:52Classic.

12:53You'll see JFix's message.

12:56Almost.

12:57You almost won't.

12:59I was impressed with the way that – not because I had any – well, yeah, I did have a preconceived –

13:07because UFC fighters, not because of my girls.

13:09Right.

13:10No, that's how I am.

13:11I'm a little skittish.

13:12It's like you trying a new food or something, and it's real spicy.

13:16You don't know how it's going to mess up your stomach, and so you kind of like – like that.

13:21That's how I am interviewing.

13:22And even my friends, even people I know, they still like – wait.

13:31Toby got DC to cuss.

13:34DC don't cuss.

13:35That's not my fault.

13:37That was the Vikings fault.

13:40Right.

13:41So, he wears that as a badge of honor.

13:44He really does.

13:45I really thought we were getting through this clean.

13:49Yeah, we did.

13:49My bad.
