00:00We're back in Vegas at the MGM Grand.
00:05Everybody's getting ready for Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena.
00:08One of my good friends in boxing, the badass Caleb Plant is here.
00:13And I think the last time you did my show, I was on the Howard Stern channels on SiriusXM.
00:21I did my Dirty Show.
00:22You remember I did a Dirty Show with all the cussing and everything?
00:24Yeah, I remember that.
00:25And now I do TV in New York.
00:27Look at you, man.
00:28I do sports betting TV, and I got a blazer on.
00:30You never saw me with a blazer on, son.
00:32Moving on up in the world.
00:33You know what I mean?
00:34Come on, now.
00:35Hey, so I got to tell you, I was at the tank fight, and I was sitting in your row.
00:42Row three.
00:43We were sitting in the same row, and all the nonsense broke out with that freak, Ryan,
00:49who had absolutely come right from the mental ward to the arena, and who was acting like
00:55a tool and was upsetting everyone and their brother in that arena.
01:00Wherever he went, he was like a cancer.
01:02And I'm sitting there.
01:03I remember Mighty Mouse was sitting there.
01:05His girlfriend was pretty hot, too, I have to say.
01:07I thought she looked at me.
01:08You could tell she liked me.
01:09She thought, you know, she's like, look at me.
01:10She had a thing for you.
01:11You know what I mean?
01:12You could tell.
01:13She was like, Pearl's over there, and then Caleb Plant's over there.
01:15And then this kid starts mouthing off to you.
01:17And I swear to God, because I've always been a fan of yours, I was sitting there with my
01:21son who goes to San Diego State, and I go, what's this?
01:26I go, what's this?
01:27My man is just not having this.
01:29He's not having this kid, this punk, talking to him.
01:33And I thought you were going to kill him.
01:35I really did.
01:36I thought right then and there you were going to kill him right in the third row.
01:39Yeah, I mean, you know, some things you got to let slide, and you got to pick and choose
01:44your battles, and some things can't be tolerated.
01:46And you know, some of the words that he said about my family can't be tolerated.
01:54What's wrong with you?
01:56Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with him.
01:57You're a trip.
01:58Yeah, he's got a lot going on, and you know, I think he needs help.
02:03But like I said, a guy like that, I'll be the help you're looking for.
02:05You know what's funny, though, is he actually has talent, and he's wasting it with all the
02:10other BS.
02:11Don't you think he can fight?
02:12He can fight.
02:13The kid can fight.
02:14Yeah, he's no scrub.
02:15He's going to stop outside the ring that is ruining his life and career, and no one can
02:19get through to him.
02:20You were going to be the one that got through to him with your fists.
02:23Yeah, but you know, that's for him to figure out, you know.
02:27You can't want it for somebody more than they want it for themselves, so.
02:29What is the deal with this kid, like, I just watched the press conference here, and you
02:36were funny.
02:37You were...
02:38You said to Macombie that his brother was his sister, and that was the line of the day.
02:49And I also had to say, I said earlier to Raleigh that I thought Macombie had a square
02:54dancing shirt on with Terminator glasses, and I thought he looked awful.
02:58He literally had a square dancing shirt on, you have to admit it.
03:01Yeah, you know, I'm a fan of the Western...
03:03No, you are not.
03:04Not that shirt.
03:05That's a great coat.
03:06I'm a fan of the Western stuff, but it's the Viper glasses.
03:11It's the Viper glasses.
03:12It was.
03:13It was Terminator.
03:14And yeah, you know, his brother calling me a bum, but as you heard up there, Trevor doesn't
03:18think I'm a bum, and that's all that matters.
03:20He knows I'm world class, and anybody who's got a brother or a little brother walking
03:25around, making fun of professional athletes, you don't have a little brother.
03:29You have a little sister, because, you know, what guy on the sidewalk, on the sidelines
03:32is going to pick a, you know, professional athlete?
03:35When you were doing the pull-up, when you came into the MGM, and then he gave you the
03:40business in the lobby?
03:41No.
03:42Or out in the ballet?
03:43No, he just called me a bum at the grand arrivals when I was on stage.
03:46Oh, when you were on stage.
03:47No, he wouldn't.
03:48He wouldn't say that to my face.
03:49He don't want any part of you.
03:50No.
03:51He wouldn't do that.
03:52Now, what about his brother?
03:53Like, what is it?
03:54You're going to get that interim belt Saturday night.
03:55Listen, Mafia knows I wanted to watch Danny, Caleb, and Canelo.
04:01I got my, I got the trifecta.
04:03I got my wish, because I ain't seen you fight in a minute.
04:05Now, the one thing I love about you is the stones on you of who you will fight.
04:11You fought Canelo.
04:13You'll fight them all.
04:14You fought Benavides.
04:16They call him a monster.
04:17You're like, you're not afraid of him.
04:18You fought all of them.
04:19And win or lose, you fight anybody they put in front of you.
04:23That's what I like about you.
04:24There's a lot of guys that'll duck guys their entire career because they don't want to have
04:30a blemish on their record as if they matter.
04:34I respect guys that fight everyone no matter what happens in the ring.
04:37How do you see it play out in your life and career?
04:40Yeah, I mean, you know, my dad always taught me that it's important to go after the biggest
04:45challenges.
04:46You know, if you want that legacy, if you want that glory, which is what a real warrior
04:50lives for, then you got to go after the biggest task.
04:52And if you think you're the baddest man, then, you know, whoever else they say is great,
04:57you got to test your skills against them.
04:59And sometimes you may come up short and people may call that a blemish, but I think the real
05:04blemish is never testing your skills to begin with and never going after the biggest fights.
05:09So I pride myself on that.
05:11So you were living in Nashville or something, I think, the last time I talked to you, or
05:17somewhere.
05:18Oh, that's where I'm from.
05:19I'm from Nashville.
05:20Are you living there now?
05:21Where are you living?
05:22I live here.
05:23I've been living here since 2016.
05:24And I'm from like 25 minutes outside of downtown Nashville.
05:26It's called Ashland City.
05:27It's way out in the country.
05:29But you moved out here now.
05:30Yeah.
05:31You like it here or do you miss there?
05:33I mean, I miss home.
05:34I miss things about home, but I love it out here.
05:36So your work in the gym and all the fights you've had and how you've been getting ready
05:41for Macombie, how do you feel?
05:44How's it been going?
05:45Are you ready to dance Saturday night and put on a show again like you always do for
05:48the fans?
05:49Or what's it like, the difference between doing it here and being back there and when
05:54you were coming up?
05:55Oh, yeah.
05:56I love the big stage, you know, big fight this Saturday, WBA interim title on the line.
06:01And I'm excited to let the bell ring and, you know, get on there and perform.
06:05So, you know, this guy's a Jets fan.
06:08And he said to me before the interview is over, he said before you came over here today,
06:13he said, this guy, you're bringing this guy on again.
06:16He goes, tell him that Aaron Rodgers is going into Smashville to beat the Titans Sunday.
06:22If it's the last thing they do.
06:23He said it.
06:24That guy right there.
06:25Let him know what you think.
06:27Well, we just lost to the Bears.
06:28So I'm not like they were up 17.
06:31Nothing.
06:32I know that the game slips.
06:33I blame Levis.
06:35He had it all.
06:36And then he laid an egg.
06:37I don't know.
06:38I was disappointed.
06:39Once they got rid of my guy, AJ Brown, I was like, wow.
06:42Then they got rid of Derrick Henry.
06:45But you know, we're in a rebuilding phase.
06:47So we'll see.
06:48We'll see.
06:49We'll see about those Jets.
06:50When you when you went when you were there, did you go to like Predators games and stuff?
06:55My penguins beat him in the Stanley Cup finals.
06:57Did you enjoy that?
06:58Yeah, I've been a couple Predators game and Titans game.
07:09You know, I'm a diehard Titans fan.
07:11I'm a represent.
07:12So who's your favorite team?
07:14Football team.
07:15I'm a Steelers.
07:16I'm all Steelers.
07:17Pittsburgh Steelers.
07:18Pirates.
07:19Penguins.
07:20That's it.
07:21And I like the Miami Canes and college football.
07:22I went to Indiana.
07:23I like the Hoosiers and basketball, but nothing else.
07:27Favorite football programs for sissies.
07:29They hang out with that McCombie's little sister, McCombie's.
07:32Yeah, I like that.
07:35I like that.
07:36My man.
07:37Hey, listen, it's great to see you fighting again.
07:39I can't believe because I haven't been to.
07:41It's been a minute since I've been to one of your fights.
07:43So Saturday night, I get to check it out and see you do your thing.
07:47How do you think this guy?
07:48What do you worry about?
07:49Because I know you respect him.
07:50You've said it right to his face.
07:51You were up there on the stage today talking about you respect me, I respect you.
07:54Let's go.
07:55Let's get it on.
07:57I respect you as a fighter.
07:58Well, I said he's not a bum.
07:59So, you know, respect's a strong word.
08:02You know, I respect my opponents enough to train hard.
08:05And yeah, I don't I'm not necessarily a big fan of them, but, you know, I just got to
08:10go in there, be myself, stay sharp, stay relaxed.
08:13And you know, I've been on the big stage before, so I know how to handle it.
08:15And then tomorrow you go, you're going to go go in there and weigh what are you going
08:19to end up weighing?
08:20168.
08:21Right on the dot.
08:22Right on the dot.
08:23No questions asked.
08:24Is that a pain in the ass getting to getting through that?
08:26Like I was talking to Danny about it.
08:28He said it's painful.
08:29I mean, regardless of how much weight you got to lose, you know, it's never fun.
08:34But it's part of the game, you know, and, you know, my dad's always reminded me, you
08:38know, we don't get paid for the stuff that we love with our job.
08:40We get paid for the things that we don't like.
08:43So, you know, I'm getting paid to make weight.
08:45I'm going to make it like a professional.
08:46And like I said, go in there and perform on Saturday, win another title and get a lot
08:51of money.
08:52It's a beautiful thing.
08:54Hey, good luck to your crappy teams.
08:55It's always good to see you, brother.
08:56I love you.
08:57I look forward to watching you fight Saturday.
08:58I'm glad you didn't kill little Ryan when he lost his mind in the third row at the fight.
09:03I was there with you.
09:04I got to tell you, I'm telling you, that chick, Mighty Mouse's girl, she was looking at me.
09:07I don't know about all that.
09:08I got her a drink.
09:09I don't know about all that.
09:10I'm telling you.
09:11And it could be worse.
09:12You know, I could be a Jets fan.
09:13As far as the tights.
09:14You know, I could be a Jets fan.
