  9. “No, for sure I did. YouTube, like, I was done with it. I didn't like it anymore and was running into a lot of issues just with like demonetization. It just became a nightmare. And it was causing so many problems. And I was in Los Angeles and I didn't like what I was doing. I was like, I need to do something else. First, I had to stop doing YouTube. I literally stopped filming. I noticed a lot of times in life, you have to like create space for something else to come in. And that's just the way life works. And so I had to literally stop. And there was like a space where I was trying to do things and maybe a little business over here, music. I was making songs. And then I like fell in love with boxing out of nowhere. But there was a time where I was like, I don't know what the fuck's going on. And that was when I was like 21.”

  10. “Yeah, but just for the story, just to inspire kids that I was like the most hated, the most doubted, the biggest underdog, the YouTuber, the Disney kid. And if I can become world champion, I think it would be the most inspiring sports story or one of the most inspiring sports stories in modern day history that I can inspire kids that even if all the odds are stacked against you, like look what I did and you can do something.”

  11. “Yeah, no, it doesn't in a lot of ways. But like on the boxing side specifically, there's still things that I want to do in terms of goals and they don't have to do with money. I want to become world champion.”

  12. “I mean, yeah, like it's not fun. And it just keeps on getting harder. That's what it's also nice about boxing, but also not nice is that it's like a never ending challenge. And it only gets harder as you continue to fight the best and the best.”

  14. “Yeah, but I mean, I guess it becomes like a sort of flow state. It's like a super high, fast-paced thinking match. And I think that's where I told people like why I got good at boxing so fast is like pattern recognition. And I just think of it like recognizing patterns in the person that I'm fighting and then being able to expose it and doing it at the right time. And it's very calculated. And I see you dropped your hand in the first round after you threw this punch. I'm going to wait for you to do that again in two minutes and hit you with the right punch to counter that. And adding those things up over round by round and remembering everything that they're doing and their habits and all of that is like just pattern recognition game. And that's why I think I got good at it is because it's just my mind is better than probably every boxer if I had been doing it my whole life I'd be the best boxer in the world for sure.”

  15. “I would say the track work, like sprints at the track is just brutal and my coach just makes me run and run and run and run. And like my heart feels like it's going to pound out of my chest and your body has like a central nervous system reaction because of how hard you're pushing yourself. And it's like very uncomfortable. And then just the day in and day out. And then you just get lost in counting on the days until the fight and you're just like the monotony of it, I think, can be very demanding.”

  16. “Am I happy or sad to be an addict? Yeah, like I think being addicted to working and like constantly doing something. But like I do wish sometimes I like think about what it would be like to like feel normal where like I don't have to constantly be like progressing and doing things but I don't know like this is my body. This is my brain. This is like my destiny. This is who I am. So like I'm not I'm very happy about that, but it is a double-edged sword sometimes like you think I'm addicted to work is what you're saying”

  17. “Yeah, I don't know. It's like it's always different. That's the weird part about it, I think. It's like not something you can like fully grasp. And sometimes you don't know until you're like in the thick of it. And you're like, oh, shit, I haven't been taking care of myself.”

  18. “I'm not really afraid. I think I've talked a lot about my struggles more so in the past because of that. I was struggling more when I was younger, like childhood fame, living in Los Angeles, being surrounded by the wrong people. But I do think like dealing with mental health, my mind can become a crowded and dirty and stressful place and it's a practice every day to manage it. And I think that's where I've like fallen in love with breath work and meditation and spiritual journeys with ayahuasca, toad, mushrooms, all of these things to learn more about myself and my mind. I would say like mental health is always something that can fluctuate for me. And it's something that like personally I have to actively manage.”

  19. “I think in relationship, it's communication, and I think you should always, in the relationship, try to be the 60%. Like if it's 60-40, you and your partner should be both be fighting to be the 60% and be there for each other and do more and love more and support more. And like we should always be kind of in a competition of like who massaged who today, who gave the first, who wrote the love letter, like if my fiance writes me a love letter, I'm like, I'm going to write a better one back to you. And then she'll write another like, so friendly competition in a relationship is good and communication. Letting them see you like every side of you and fully who you are. I think that's very important from like early on, like tell them everything from like day one. I think that builds the trust in the foundation.”

  20. “Who gives a fuck? Like, seriously. Yeah, who gives a fuck? Someone has to do it. Rather to be in the rooms and a part of that thing than out of it. At the end of the day, I don't have advice for him. Like he's doing what he thinks is best in his decision making. There's going to be repercussions. And I think we live in a society where no matter what someone does, they're going to be hated or loved or hated or loved or hated or loved. So at the end of the day, you just have to make decisions and march on.”

  21. “Yes, and I think the human evolution is inevitable. So like we're going to these systems anyway. So if Andorra wasn't going to build it, then, okay, is someone who is evil in the wrong hands and another country going to build it? And then we don't have it. So it's needed. But I think also their mission is to make things safer for humans. That's like the autonomous side of it. And so if something needs to be done, then, yeah, maybe less people will actually die because of their technology.”

  22. “Yeah, and like you don't want a career politician running a business. The first startup in America was America. It's a fucking business. And so you don't want a career politician running things. And I think it's a very difficult position to be in. And I think no matter what you do as president, any of the terms, any of the U.S. presidents, like there's always going to be the 50 to 60 percent of people that are like, no, that shouldn't have done that. I have a better solution. Like, okay, buddy, then go fucking do it.”

  23. “He's doing a good job. Yes, I do. I think he is arguably one of the best presidents the United States has had in this term. There's so much propaganda and things, but at the end of the day, he's doing an incredible job. There's always going to be criticisms. I mean, that's why, again, like I wouldn't maybe want to sign up for the job because no matter what you do, people are going to think they have a better answer. But we're not in the rooms. You know, I believe in him as a person and as a human being. I'm not going to maybe agree with everything he says or does. And like, I think he just said, I'm glad someone died on the internet. Like, I don't agree with that. But overall, that's my fucking president. I'm going to back him and support him and say that he's doing a good job 100%.”

  24. “The job. And if B, there was like someone like Kamala Harris running that could have the potential to ruin the United States. And I would have to like go and oppose them and, yeah, save the country. But I don't really want to sign up for that workload if I don't have to. And if there's someone better to do it. And that's how I feel about it.”

  25. “You mentioned getting to spend a couple of hours with the president. This was from friends of yours, not from me, so I'm not stoking any flames here. They are. Would you like to run for office or be involved in politics a lot more? I wouldn't like to, but I feel like it could be needed at some point. I've always said, like Jeff was actually the first one that mentioned it like six years ago or so. He was like, you're going to be the president and like you should run for president. And I was like, and then it slowly became less of a joke. And like people actually, other people started saying it to me. And then I just hang out with Trump and like the, I go on stage and do a speech off of off the top. And the first thing he says to me on stage when I turn around is, oh, you're going to run for office someday. And like, then we go backstage and he's like, you should be the president. And then he like endorses me. But to answer the question, it's like I would only want to do it if I was A, the best person for.”

  26. “Yeah, I think a lot of people don't know about me, which is like, even if they watch everything or know, like, you still haven't met me or spent time. I think the number one thing that people say to me after meeting for the first time is, you are a lot different than I expected. So you thought I was a dickhead fucking retard? Like, I don't know, my bad, bro.”

  27. “I remember a specific moment where my parents were getting divorced and my dad had to pay like a lot of alimony and he was crying. It was one of the only times I've ever seen him cry because he had to sell like everything he loved to be able to like afford living. I thought to myself like I never want to be this crying father who doesn't isn't able to afford much and telling his kids we have to move through a different house and selling everything that he like I remember he had to fucking sell his snowboard like his little shitty snowboard just for like $150 and stuff like that and it's like now I'm blessed to be able to even just to snowboard so I think of small things like that in that that moment definitely stuck out to me to be like yo I don't want to be in that position so I need to figure out money”

  28. “Does money make you happy? Money buys freedom. And I think freedom makes people happy. The famous saying like more money, more problems is like all the way too true. I think it's a double-edged sword for sure. There's a lot more to manage, a lot more stress, but then there's also a lot more freedom. And if you want to survive, it's like no different than food. Like mom was a nurse and dad was a roofer. We were fine, but like wasn't around anything like.”

  29. “Should I have just been in the valley founding, you know, some company and being just more involved in tech? I don't know. I don't have like any regrets or nothing anything comes up like that. But I do like the Drake line where he's like, if we hadn't made it here, we would be out in Silicon try to get our billions on. And I always relate with that. Like, I think it's a good line.”

  30. “I always said this a hundred years ago, you know, when they were coming up with the Atom bomb and the nuke and people were like, oh, so scared. Oh, what's going to happen? There's always like fear in the development of human society and new technologies. And I'm sure people were scared of cars at some point. Like, what's this going to mean? It's going to take my job or I can go get another job. Like it's, you can either look at it on the positive, but I believe, and obviously it's going faster now and developing faster, but I think humans will figure this shit out.”

  31. “If I can put into cognition or any of these things and develop my own game that's personally tailored for me with a couple clicks of a button, why would I watch the NBA when this game I made for myself has all my favorite things in it and friends and storytelling. And I made my own world of Warcrafter, Minecraft in a day. Will that suck away the entertainment or I made my own whole Netflix movie the exact way I wanted it with certain shit in it. Will that personalization take away from other forms of entertainment, which is sport? Like that's where I mean things might get weird.”

  33. “Yeah, 100%. It's all math, right? Like, I was more nervous to fight Gervante Davis if you lose to a tiny person. People would be like, oh, you suck. So it's actually better to lose to a giant.”

  34. “Like even someone literally came up to me this morning in the freaking spa area at the hotel and was like, May, that was amazing. It was crazy that you did that, but you left with your stock higher. That's what he said. For me, it was a win-win-win across the board fighting him. And I knew that going into it. I knew that I could actually like hang in there with him and the world would be shocked by my heart and skill set. And even if he was to knock me out or knock me down, I would just keep on getting back up. And so I think that the fight actually humanized me a bit. And people got to see a different side of me.”

  35. “Pretty good. Like, I can, I think me and my number one content guy before we post the video will predict how many views it's going to get pretty much accurate, like 85% of the time Within, like, we'll say this is going to get 8.5 million, or this is going to get 30. This is one that's going to get 40. I don't know. It's just like second nature, in a sense. An example is boxing, where I saw to become the greatest like celebrity influencer boxer to the point where I wanted to become world champion because I knew that boxing was going to have a revival in part because of me. And I saw the attention, the views, how much people liked it, the drama, and the money that was in it. And I made the point to become the best one in it. And then I excelled out of the group of just being influencer boxer and went into like actually, oh, this kid can like become world champion.”

  37. “It's a very tough game. And if you actually aren't good at it or know how to do it, then maybe don't just try to do it. Because you could end up, it's almost second nature to me because I have vision and can see like where things are heading. I'm ahead of culture and these things, you know, since I was a kid. And so we can see where things are going. And I think it is an actual talent and skill set to be in the right rooms, to know who to talk to, to know where to spend time and know how to get what you want. And so I would say a lot of people like can't do that.”
