Speaker 3: there's some other ones that are really good around the state. Right,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure going to make that one over there,

Speaker 1: How in the world could I have cheated? I pulled
Speaker 1: this piece of paper out of this box.
Speaker 2: I would get what.
Speaker 1: I'm not a magician. My name's not Houdini. What kind
Speaker 1: of witchcraft is this? They up and up, No, it's not.
Speaker 2: They admit that they don't like the Jefferson County teams.
Speaker 2: They have admitted many, many times. They do their best
Speaker 2: to make sure the Jefferson County teams don't win. That's
Speaker 2: a fact.
Speaker 1: They don't. They don't deny it.
Speaker 3: General consensus out in the state that many people do
Speaker 3: not like Louisville slash Jefferson County. We are the island.
Speaker 1: We're an island.
Speaker 3: We're the bad people.
Speaker 1: We're an island.

Speaker 2: their adult children. It's the highest number ever. As matter
Speaker 2: of fact, five years ago was the highest note number ever,
Speaker 2: and a couple of years before that it was the
Speaker 2: highest number ever. So it keeps climbing up. And obviously,
Speaker 2: with inflation and the lack of good paying jobs, these
Speaker 2: kids that have been getting out of adults need some assistance.
Speaker 2: So I'll tell you what the numbers are when we
Speaker 2: get back. I also want to remind you I've got

Speaker 1: out because you thought he was home. I thought he
Speaker 1: was a homeless guy. Such a jerk. I thought it
Speaker 1: was a homeless guy.
Speaker 2: But things changed quickly, Austin because a couple of years
Speaker 2: before that, he came in with an entourage and had
Speaker 2: a green He had a green alligator suit on, bright
Speaker 2: green alligator suit on that matched all the way from
Speaker 2: the top of his head down to his shoes.

Speaker 2: your generation is the most slacker, favorite bank Slacker, just
Speaker 2: your favorite bank, the Bank of Mom and Dad. Here
Speaker 2: you go.
Speaker 1: Remember, since day one, the.
Speaker 2: Numbers keep getting worse. If gen X propping up their
Speaker 2: kids financially, adulting is hard, Yes, it's expensive, So the
Speaker 2: number in twenty twenty three was forty five percent. The
Speaker 2: number last year was forty seven percent. It's gone up
Speaker 2: to one half fifty percent of all adults that have
Speaker 2: adult children living at the house and they're or propping

Speaker 1: Oh wow, who can afford that? Man? Eighty three percent? Right,
Speaker 1: if they're living at home. Well, some of them are
Speaker 1: living at home. Some of them okay, yes, pay your
Speaker 1: rent so you won't live at home. Well, at some
Speaker 1: point that might be worth it to me at some
Speaker 1: point because.
Speaker 2: America, look cars, if you get a new car close
Speaker 2: to a new car, the car payment's five hundred dollars
Speaker 2: a month. Insurance has won seventy five or it used
Speaker 2: to be thirty bucks a month for us and gas.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, that's that's a lot of money per month.
Speaker 1: Just have a car, and the younger you are, the
Speaker 1: higher the insurance.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, uh so. Eighty three percent buy their groceries
Speaker 2: for them. Sixty five percent pay their cell phone bill.
Speaker 1: Oh it's my parents fifty foot.
Speaker 2: There you go. There's always one thing y.
Speaker 1: Who whoa whoa, whoa wa. But do they have if
Speaker 1: they pay for your cell phone, do they have access
Speaker 1: to your text and pictures? No?
Speaker 2: No, there you go over half do health insurance. I
Speaker 2: don't mind that because you can keep them on your
Speaker 2: insurance till they're twenty six.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Sixty three percent of adults with adult children pay their
Speaker 2: mortgage or rent sixty three percent.
Speaker 1: Wow, that's almost half.
Speaker 2: Forty four percent for cars, tuition, the school expenses forty
Speaker 2: five percent. It's just it's very expensive and parents just
Speaker 2: do it. But at some point you have to you
Speaker 2: have to say okay, like Alan Mecurio for me Curial
Speaker 2: Walter Advisers. He tells his famous story to where he
Speaker 2: kept coming at when he first got married. They got
Speaker 2: married to like twenty one and she was like twenty
Speaker 2: and he kept going to his dad for help. And
Speaker 2: he said the last time he sat at the kitchen
Speaker 2: table in the south side out in the valley and
Speaker 2: his dad slid him a check, and when he was
Speaker 2: trying to grab the check, he touched his hand and said,
Speaker 2: last one.
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Polly and Gad. He had an
Speaker 1: envelope of Cashiota and he goes now I gotta turn
Speaker 1: my back on you. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Last When he says last one, he goes and that's
Speaker 2: the last time I took money from my dad. He
Speaker 2: goes in, and it triggers something in your brain. You're like, okay,
Speaker 2: I gotta go.

Speaker 5: the three that I lived with, so that always gets
Speaker 5: us a ghost. Well, trying to get them to pay
Speaker 5: for my wedding is also a fun deal. Now they

Speaker 1: How you guys doing this morning? Doing great? You got
Speaker 1: a fight coming up tomorrow night? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I feel like I should be worried about getting my
Speaker 6: parents to pay for my wedding or see how I'm
Speaker 6: gonna get a bill.
Speaker 1: That wasn't a thing for me. So we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the fight, but first I want to talk about
Speaker 1: the pay per view. You were a coach in a paper,
Speaker 1: can't Is it August? Yeah? It's last August. Yep.
Speaker 2: When you work a corner, is that is it called
Speaker 2: a coach or a manager or was it a.
Speaker 1: Coach or corner to be on what? So?
Speaker 6: Most of the time it's both. With this one, I
Speaker 6: was just kind of a corner. They kind of needed
Speaker 6: somebody to come in and they called me, decided to
Speaker 6: use me and got the opportunity to fly out to
Speaker 6: Abu Dhabi and coaching a dabbi.
Speaker 1: I got a joke I got a joke, what's the
Speaker 1: difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. People in Dubai don't
Speaker 1: like the flip flintstones, but people in Abi Abi Dabi do.
Speaker 1: I mean to try damn it. You need to try hard.
Speaker 2: But the term is dude, work in the corner right.
Speaker 2: You don't know anything day, it's working the corner ahead.
Speaker 2: My wife used to do that, stop it, stop it stop,
Speaker 2: So that was fun.
Speaker 1: Was cool opportunity.
Speaker 6: Yeah, that level of coach in the UFC corner in
Speaker 6: the UFC and get that knowledge, be able to bring
Speaker 6: it back and use some of that to put towards
Speaker 6: our show future fighting over there?
Speaker 2: Do they teach you better or worse because you're American?
Speaker 1: Where we were at they treated you great. Yeah.
Speaker 6: It was a tourist area, so yeah, very good experience over.
Speaker 1: Could you tell a difference in the fighter that you
Speaker 1: were in the corner of Can you tell the difference
Speaker 1: that because because it was a pay per view and
Speaker 1: global the nerves were higher or not? No, I don't
Speaker 1: think for him it was.
Speaker 6: I think for more For that it was the change
Speaker 6: in time and it was one hundred and fifteen degrees there.
Speaker 6: You had to fly across the world, so I think
Speaker 6: you know it's hard to get on a new sleep schedule.
Speaker 1: How long how okay, that's a great point. How long
Speaker 1: in advance? How far a I asked, do you get
Speaker 1: to Abba dabi to try to adjust to this because NBA,
Speaker 1: NFL they all go out, you know on West Coast games,
Speaker 1: which is only three hours abadabi. What's the time difference?
Speaker 1: I want to say ten hours time? So how how
Speaker 1: fear an advanced you get out there? Because it can't
Speaker 1: be cheap?
Speaker 6: About a week? It was about a week, Yeah, it
Speaker 6: was wasn't a cheap trip.
Speaker 2: Do you have to have conversations with the fighters and
Speaker 2: everybody else that's traveling to there because there were different
Speaker 2: rules and not rule I guess rules and traditions that
Speaker 2: you might not know you're doing. You're not doing something
Speaker 2: and they're like, dude, you can't do that.
Speaker 6: In the street, we're just very careful. You know a
Speaker 6: lot of people I'm sorry, I don't know the right name,
Speaker 6: but they were wearing the face covers or outfits. We
Speaker 6: just try to be respectful and not really looked too
Speaker 6: much at anybody, just because we didn't.
Speaker 1: Know what was what.
Speaker 6: No eye contacts, but some people everybody was different. Some
Speaker 6: would walk by you, some would say hi. So we
Speaker 6: just kind of went with the flow. But everybody there
Speaker 6: where we were at, we're very very nice. It was,
Speaker 6: that's all serience. That's awesome.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was up trying to have a conversation with one
Speaker 1: of them, but it was like, uh.
Speaker 2: So gaming has been passed in almost thirty states. I
Speaker 2: mean Kentucky finally got it last year or whatever. This
Speaker 2: this it takes UFC and into a different realm. Is
Speaker 2: is that that? It's it's gonna help it exponentially.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you agree with that for sure.
Speaker 2: And those you're you know, these fights are all on
Speaker 2: like Draft Kings and all that. You can find these
Speaker 2: fights on these betting apps.
Speaker 1: My favorite place to lose money.
Speaker 6: But if you if you've seen how I coached in
Speaker 6: corner and then you went down my DraftKings and saw
Speaker 6: the difference, you wouldn't even believe it.
Speaker 1: It's unbelievable. I surpribed myself. But okay, but okay, let's say, okay,
Speaker 1: so you were in the a UFC pay per view,
Speaker 1: You're in a corner, can you bet? Because no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. But on all the other fights.
Speaker 2: You know, can you do prop bets on fights like
Speaker 2: who lands the first kick?
Speaker 6: Or yeah they got all that? I'm pretty sure. I
Speaker 6: don't get into that much of it. I kind of
Speaker 6: bet for fun because I know we'll lose.
Speaker 1: But Phil Philip Perkins is our guest UFC fight or
Speaker 1: MMA whatever, local guys local also, and then there's fights
Speaker 1: this weekend, Tomorrow night, Saturday night. Talk about the card
Speaker 1: and what's going on Tomorrow night, the wind where and how?
Speaker 6: Yeah sweet Tomorrow it's Future of Fighting where Louisville's only
Speaker 6: homegrown mixed martial arts event. This one's at the Kentucky
Speaker 6: Center for African American Heritage Tomorrow at seven o'clock. We
Speaker 6: have the biggest professional heavyweight MMA fight ever in Louisville.
Speaker 1: Going on.
Speaker 6: We have the number one rank pro in Florida, Joshua
Speaker 6: marsh fighting the number one rank pro in Georgia.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Austin Green actually fights out of Eatown, Kentucky, so
Speaker 6: he's semi local. But this is by far the biggest
Speaker 6: heavyweight professional MMA fight.
Speaker 1: To come through the city. What's the date? Tomorrow night?
Speaker 6: Tomorrow night, seven o'clock at the Kentucky Center for African
Speaker 6: American Heritage. It's right down right down the street from
Speaker 6: Ye ten minutes from from your beautiful venue downtown. I've
Speaker 6: been there, so we'll put on a really nice show
Speaker 6: there for everybody. And then we just signed last week.
Speaker 6: I'm super stoked that we'll be here with you guys
Speaker 6: again June six, putting on a show at four Street Live.
Speaker 1: Awesome.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we're official on June six. We went last September
Speaker 6: out here and it was a blast. We had the
Speaker 6: place slam top level, bottom level, and the show.
Speaker 1: Was a great success.
Speaker 6: And I think this is the best venue for a
Speaker 6: fight in the city right.
Speaker 1: So to find Future Fighting and to get tickets, how
Speaker 1: do they do that?
Speaker 6: Future of Fighting dot com has all the tickets and
Speaker 6: pay per view. That's the only place to get it.
Speaker 6: Also at Future of Fighting MMA on Instagram is where
Speaker 6: we post a lot. We keep a lot of active
Speaker 6: stuff going. And yeah, with the UFC coming and slamming
Speaker 6: the Young Center like that, and being the fastest growing
Speaker 6: sport in the world, we're really excited to have a
Speaker 6: really quality, good quality MMA promotion here in Louisville by
Speaker 6: people from Louisville.
Speaker 2: Give me one thing, that UFC could do to improve it.
Speaker 6: The weight cut. You know, I think the guy's cutting
Speaker 6: some weight all the time. I mean, it's we're so
Speaker 6: used to that now, it's a part of the game.
Speaker 6: But if everyone just kind of fought at they're closer
Speaker 6: to their weight, I think that would save a lot
Speaker 6: of It's a lot of trouble, a lot of health
Speaker 6: problems and some things. These guys don't really know the
Speaker 6: effects it takes on them, and it'll probably just catch
Speaker 6: up with them later. So I think that's one of
Speaker 6: the one of the biggest things.
Speaker 2: It's the huge weight people drop way to win in
Speaker 2: a small.
Speaker 6: Way, they'll lose a lot of weight. They'll lose a
Speaker 6: lot of weight, and they don't do it the correct way.
Speaker 6: There's a correct way, and there's obviously not a correct way.
Speaker 2: And that's the problem is do they monitor that weight
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, do they monitor that weight the entire year?
Speaker 2: Like in high school wrestling, you weigh out in the
Speaker 2: beginning of the year and they only let you. In
Speaker 2: the old ways, you could drop as much as you
Speaker 2: want or go up, but they they won't allow you
Speaker 2: go You can only go two weight classes.
Speaker 1: Do they do that?
Speaker 2: They monitor that.
Speaker 1: Or so they should.
Speaker 6: But here's the thing is, like every person's an individual,
Speaker 6: so it's what they're what each person does. It's like
Speaker 6: a wrestling team where you have a coach hounding you.
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm telling them what I like them to do.
Speaker 6: But these are grown men and women, so they're gonna
Speaker 6: do what they want. A lot of them are on
Speaker 6: wight year round, ready to go. You can call them
Speaker 6: in a snap of a finger, they'll take a fight.
Speaker 6: But others you'll call them and they need six weeks
Speaker 6: just to get even where they can cut the weight,
Speaker 6: to make the right weight.
Speaker 1: So is MMA one of the final nails in the
Speaker 1: coffin for professional boxing because there's so many you know,
Speaker 1: there's so many different titles.
Speaker 2: What's professional boxing?
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah? No, exactly what? For example, I used to
Speaker 1: follow Ricky Hatton and when he retired, Jesus for me.
Speaker 6: I know, right, So, I mean, I guess it could be,
Speaker 6: but it could also keep it alive. I think the
Speaker 6: thing about boxing is if you put on a boxing
Speaker 6: fight somewhere, you have to have a certain fighter in
Speaker 6: that area to sell out that card. The USC can
Speaker 6: put any fighter from any country on any card in
Speaker 6: any city you'll sell out right, So there's a huge
Speaker 6: difference there. So I could see where it could be
Speaker 6: a nail in the coffin. But it's also given everything
Speaker 6: more juice, boxing, more juice, wrestling, more juice because people
Speaker 6: see the importance of everything that you need to fight MMA.
Speaker 1: So when are you coming out of retirement and fighting again? Never?
Speaker 2: Hey, by the way, last question, So you were married, yes, sir? Okay,
Speaker 2: before you got married to the ex boyfriends of everybody
Speaker 2: who dated like you gotta hate like, oh, she's dating
Speaker 2: in a UFC fighter.
Speaker 1: Now they know.
Speaker 2: That sucks UFC fighters. It comes with a stigma.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, with some people, it does. You know what
Speaker 6: I mean, I guess the world I live in. I
Speaker 6: don't want to say, right, Yeah, you're right. I mean
Speaker 6: I guess in the world I live in. I don't
Speaker 6: experience it. I'm so engulfed in it. Yes, it's weird
Speaker 6: to me when somebody.
Speaker 1: Do you have a temper? Do you have a temper?
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody does.
Speaker 6: I'm definitely a lot more cool, calm and collected, I
Speaker 6: mean in my forties than I would have been in
Speaker 6: my twenties.
Speaker 2: The most dangerous fighter is always the one that's calm.
Speaker 1: That's why I was getting that. If you're a fighter,
Speaker 1: you got to control your temple, because if you lose
Speaker 1: your temple, that's where you go south. Right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, we you don't have a reason to fight all
Speaker 6: the time or prove yourself because you already prove yourself
Speaker 6: every day and you already fight. So it's not it's
Speaker 6: just a complete different outlook on that. So Tomorrow night, Yes, Yes,
