It's been a pretty scary week cowering in the panic room.
0:42I've not left the house. No. Curtains have been drawn. We signed up for one of those food delivery Go Fresh. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get in a cab to work. I'm not leaving. Long weekend just staring through the curtains. Bit like Conor McGregor's life actually, isn't it? Coked up in a bedroom. Actually, I think the problem for him is that he insists on going out and about when he's fucked. Yeah, just stay at home, mate. Close the curtains. I don't think he does much of the afters at home thing. It seems to be very like... In your face. Public. Daylight. Yeah. Well, he's about to embrace that whole vibe because at the end of part one, where we left, I was about to say our hero, where we left Connor off, he was riding high.
1:24He was the most feared MMA fighter in the world. He's about to take on Khabib in the most eagerly anticipated UFC fight of all time. But it's about to get very ugly. It's getting really heated. And McGregor's particularly angry at, there's some slight at some point from Khabib to like a member of Conor's team, like a fellow fighter. And so he decides to land the first blow. So Khabib's fighting in Brooklyn like a couple of months before their battle. He's like fighting a UFC weekend at the Barclays Center. And Conor and his entourage go down there to the arena and wait for him. And, you know, it's your classic waiting by the bike sheds.
2:06Yeah. Tough guys. It's again, it's like, Khabib's got another fight on. And Conor's just like, this has to be about me again, right? But I think that's just the theater. Yeah. You know? But like, how's he? We'll watch the video in a second. but how does he get into where the bus is parking up? Well, I think it's just like a car park. You go in. Also, it's a UFC weekend. If Conor McGregor shows up, you probably let him in. Yeah. And I make him show his security pass. And I think it's good for UFC, this sort of shit. Well, yeah. So basically what happens is they are waiting outside for Khabib. They see him getting onto a bus.
2:41That's, I don't know, taking people to the hotels and they start yelling, banging on the windows. You know, they're trying to get at him. And then Conor picks up a steel trolley. you know, like a dolly thing. And throws it through the window of the bus.
2:59There they are, the mob. Needed that arrow.
3:10I'm sorry, but that feels a little staged. What, really? Why is no one screamed? You go, fuck. Fuck. That's all his crew. Yeah. Yeah, and then it continues. He tries to do it again. Feels a bit WWF, but maybe not. I'll link to the video. I don't think it is staged because several other fighters are on board who get gashes and cuts and get ruled out of fights. Fucking hell. Yeah. Dana White, the head of the UFC, calls him disgusting. And McGregor hands himself into the police. Is this a point where his, like, pre-fight build-up stuff goes too far? Because a lot of the time it's like, obviously, it's all for the cameras.
3:47the sort of bravado in the pre-match conferences and like squaring up to each other, having little like scraps in the corridor with the backroom staff. But like - And it's funny in the past. Yeah. And like, I think this as well is, it's done for the cameras, obviously. They knew that there'd be camera crews down there and they're playing up to it. But like, it's pretty mental. Yeah. Yeah. And it's just like, it's lost the like, the humor and the cheekiness has been replaced by just like outright aggression. He's starting to lose it. He does a plea deal with the police, so he avoids jail or losing his US visa, but he has to do five days community service and an anger management course.
4:28Fuck me, can you imagine being on an anger management course with Colin McGregor? Something tells me five days ain't going to cut off. How long is the course? Okay, guys, let's talk about a time where we didn't feel safe. Can everyone bring out their journals? to be fair you'd probably be less angry on the anger management course if he's there yeah yeah yeah his entire career has been about anger management but more sort of anger channeling yeah yeah so then after that the fight still goes ahead but it's it's getting quite unpleasant in the build-up he tries to make Khabib have some of his whiskey you know he's got his own brand of whiskey um at the press conference and Khabib refuses because he's a devout muslim fair enough At which point Conor calls him a backwards cunt.
5:14However, Khabib has the last laugh because he wins the fight and then he can't resist jumping out of the octagon to attack one of McGregor's teammates, Dylan Dennis. Do you remember him? So it ends up this whole melee after the fight. It's like a real drama. Both of them get huge fines and bans. I think Khabib pays$500 ,000 fine. Fucking hell. Something nuts like that. For jumping out of the octagon to fight him. But I get, like, you do see that quite a lot at UFC fights, right? It's sort of part of the spectacle. It's the fight after the fight. Is it a bit like in football when they're like, when the players are all like sort of shoving and the commentator has to be like, no one likes to see this.
5:55In reality, it's a bit of a spectacle. Yeah, I guess it's that double game. Anyway, after that, McGregor's career is just on a severe downward trajectory. He's really finished as a top level fighter. Yeah, and there are also some very grim allegations that emerge in early 2019. So we can't really tell Conor McGregor's story without talking about this. So early 2019, he's investigated by police for an alleged sexual assault of a woman in a hotel in Dublin the previous December. It's not the only complaint that the police receive. They also receive allegations from a woman who said that McGregor had sexually assaulted her in a car outside a pub in Dublin as well.
6:41So Connors, arrested and questioned about this, denies both of the claims, and he ends up being released. He doesn't face criminal prosecution for it. The hotel case does go to a civil trial in November 2024, where the woman testifies that McGregor put her in a chokehold, threatened to kill her. during their encounter in this hotel room. And the civil trial finds that McGregor did rape her. Fucking hell. And they order him to pay her 250 ,000 euros in damages plus her 1.5 million euros in legal fees. Why was it 1.5 million? That seems fucking huge. He's got such expensive lawyers. It must take so much to just get that over the line, right?
7:27Yeah, yeah, yeah. which shows what it fucking takes to like prove that someone's like that yeah there are some fucking horrible aspects to it obviously we're not going to get into that yeah um but it's i mean there have been these are not the only allegations that have been made against connor of this nature throughout his career this is the only one that in a civil trial has been proven um but obviously it casts a massive shadow over connor's whole career and character really is I mean he's a rapist and a scumbag is inescapable because I keep thinking what's the point where all these people who hero worshipped him like dropped out because people used to really fight his corner even when he was doing quite bad stuff and I was kind of thinking like oh those people are so shallow but then I was thinking like once someone is proven to be a rapist it is legit to change your mind about them like this kind of loses it you can be an arrogant prick you can be rude I mean he's a bit of comedy but this just sort of brings him over to a lot of people have abandoned obviously this only was proven in court, what, like 18 months ago?
8:30So it's taken that long for people to like. Yeah, I mean, I think the case has been rumbling on for a long time, and I think a lot of people made their minds up about him as a result of all of these allegations, which are often very difficult to prove, but he's without doubt a fucking bastard. You wait till he finds you in Dublin. You heard me, Connor? um zach v connor oh god doesn't bear thinking about does it um um so amidst all this back in 2019 as these these allegations are swirling connor announces his retirement from mma for the second time um yeah he's basically going full-time just like party cokey animal cokey although just because he's retired from the octagon doesn't mean he has to stop fighting so we need to stay sharp yeah exactly you gotta you don't want to get ring rust creeping in do you which probably explains why quite soon after retiring he's just walking down like down a concourse in miami when you know there's some fans around him being a bit annoying filming him and he just grabs one of their phones chucks it on the ground and stamps on it uh he gets arrested for that um which yeah i mean i guess it must be fucking i was gonna say face all the time yeah so yeah maybe there's some sort of mitigation I still feel like they've got off lightly there phone smashed unfortunately there's no excuse for what happens a few months later so Connor is back home in Dublin he's in the Marble Arch pub promoting his whiskey brand what is it Proper 12 it's called we're going to go for a pint when we're over there go for a little wee drama Proper 12 nightcap anyway Connor's there I say promoting his whiskey it's weird the bar's like half empty and he's just walking around with a bottle like getting people to do shots of it but it's not a busy so I don't know if he just rocked up but there's this one bloke at the bar he's just minding his own business he doesn't want anything to do with this bollocks promotion thing and Connor keeps asking him to have a shot of whiskey it's a weird power play isn't it have a shot of my whiskey it's very ego trippy like come on drink my drink have a fucking drink with me and when the bloke finally refuses for good McGregor smacks him we've got CCTV footage watching here it's a proper sucker punch as well the bloke's looking away it's not a busy pub it's just like it's empty poor bloke, he's minding his own business get us a wee drab my whiskey because they're not in his grill he's handing all the glasses out because no one no one seems particularly fussed about it being Conor McGregor right he really loves promoting that fucking whiskey doesn't he I reckon the bloke probably said something like I don't give a shit about any whiskey yeah fuck your whiskey oh other men say what he was bundled oh I mean you just would not want to get a right hook from that geezer would you it's actually not a right hook it's a proper sucker punch the bloke's looking away yeah it's a left hook and also he's old yeah like you're like the world's most dangerous fighter and your sucker punch punching a fucking granddad.
11:46The whole scene's really weird. Like there's one bloke who's just like got his back to it and not really nods it. It's quite funny. The bloke would just completely ignore it all. Yeah. Exactly. The regular just keeps sipping your pint. Racing post. But he... Well, I don't get it. He actually weather's that punch as well. Yeah, he wears it. We're tough on Ireland, mate. We're tough. Serious. Seriously. We're tough. We're tough. But like the pub's half empty. I don't know what the... It's not like an event. Yeah. Anyway, this bloke who literally just wore it. He turns out to be a grandfather and a regular of the pub for 14 years named Desmond Keogh.
12:19And Desmond Keogh, I think, could have got a couple of mil out of this. Yeah, he's a fucking cleaners, mate. But he doesn't. He's quite like, I guess sort of like level-headed about it. When they interview him, he's quite like, look, obviously he should face the charges and stuff, but like, I just don't want anything to do with that. It's quite an Irish way to look at it. Yeah, he doesn't want to fuss. Yeah. You could have milked it. Just get on with it. In America, you're getting fucking milked, aren't you? That's what Irish are like. Anyway, McGregor does end up being convicted of assault, but no jail, which you think by this point, he might, he might be jail might be on the cards.
12:53His lawyer reads out this like quite boilerplate apology. That's obviously been drafted on his behalf. I'm not sure Connor exactly means it though, because two years later, the press report that Connor McGregor has bought the pub where it happened, the marble arch. And they tracked down McGregor and they ask him, is it true? Have you bought the pub and he replies yeah and your man's barred fucking hell i actually think that's pretty funny two years later massive grudge yeah i think that was pretty funny that is that is good buying the pub and barring so did he just been a local been a been a regular for 14 years as he made it into one of those guys for the first time if anything he hasn't actually he hasn't actually he could have caught it he could have come after corner a lot harder like he said yeah he's got she owes this guy one yeah as he made it into one of his fucking stout pubs or whatever it is you know probably probably yeah because he has his own like guinness kind of guinnessy pub type vibes it's like weatherspoons on fucking steroids yeah which fucking worse vibe that apparently it's not doing that well have you tried the stout yeah i have tried it it's like a sweeter guinness someone said yeah i mean it's very similar to guinness i'm not to be honest that's a relief because you ever like occasionally they'll like, oh, we haven't got Guinness and you get a stout and you're like, what the fuck is this?
14:14Yeah, it's not bad. What do you do instead of splitting the G with four jar of stout? Split the F. You're splitting the skull. Just use the glass to split a local skull. Split the gram. Split a gram. Do you think that was the tasting notes for his new stout? How does it go with the pears? how many pints of forge before i want to buy a bag of coke speedy pub grub off a blow with paint on his trainers it pairs beautifully great nose on it um yeah i do think it's quite funny that he bought the pub because he only bought the pub to ban the guy yeah yeah yeah actually in that court case it turns out that conor mcgregor has 18 prior convictions fuck um most of them for driving offenses, including one that he himself described as appalling, where he jumped a red light, drove onto the wrong side of the road and nearly collided head first with another car coming the other way.
15:18Another time he was caught doing 100 miles an hour on the motorway by the guard of the Irish police who chased him down, got him to stop, and when they asked him to step out the car, he goes, are you taking a piss? Say sorry! How would you say sorry? I would apologize to absolutely not. drink my whiskey he's got it in his hand do you know what for this era basically like sort of 2019 onwards you rarely see a picture of him where he's not holding the whiskey in his hand yeah I mean that's what I mean he promotes it every fucking way doesn't he which does work yeah yeah he does actually he does do one UFC fight in January 2020 COVID Eve he comes out of retirement to fight Donald Cerrone who he beats in 40 seconds he seems to get a lot of fights done real quick doesn't he this is just just wants a payday got legal bills to pay yeah and there's there's more legal bills coming his way uh because in september 2020 connor's arrested again uh this time in corsica for alleged indecent exposure and and a sexual assault in a bar uh so he spends two days in custody over there uh but the case is dropped eight months later because of a lack of sufficient evidence which happens he gets off the hook with that a lot yeah and then in January 2021 despite having already retired three times Conor arranges a fight with Dustin Poirier back again so it's a rematch of their 2014 bout that he'd won this time though he loses first knockout loss of his career and he's actually he's so badly injured in this fight that he gets a six month medical suspension from fighting fucking hell when that medical suspension expires he wastes no time in fighting Dustin Poirier for a third time 10th of July 2021 loses again in round one he's finished now he's passed it from what I've read on the forums the UFC heads reckon his legs were just gone they call him legs goner McGregor
17:22I suppose that will put a lot of pressure on the knees doesn't it yeah the weird I think in these fights with Dustin Poirier, he breaks his tibia. Wasn't it between those two fights when he punched the bloke in the pub as well? I think it was. Yeah, yeah. That was his warm-up. Training. Yeah. I was in the zone.
17:46And he maybe has good reason to be trying to get his name in the headlines again, because around this time, he launches Forged Irish Stout. Oh, that's the Stout. there's a couple of quite good stories in Pop Bitch about his promotional tour for the new beer, where he basically goes around these various Irish pubs in the UK and Ireland. Starts with people. Yeah, I mean, pretty much. And he's got a bit of a routine. So apparently he arrives with an entourage of security, all these promo girls who flank him as he walks in. And he then basically spends the entire night in the toilets. So he gets his security to close them off.
18:24and he's just in there with these promo girls. We had a couple of people message us as well about this nightclub in Dublin where Connor was a bit of a regular and he had a very similar routine where he'd get his security to close off the bathrooms and even get them to bring furniture from the club into the toilets and just turn it into this makeshift VIP area where him and his mates would just do gear and bring in girls to shagging toilets. So you just sat at a table. Sat on the disabled bog. With a table. Nightclub toilets, just grim place. Tiled. Yeah, like, you don't have to be in the nightclub.
19:10You can just do this at home. You just get your mates around. It's way nicer. Go to a club that does have a VIP. Is that important? Yeah. Just likes the toilet vibe.

Actually Jacob Hawley From Screen Rock Podcast Shared a similar story On Mike and Vittorio's podcast Which we've got a clip of here Every big boxing event now It's just accepted That McGregor will be there With the Irish stout Geared off his fucking nut And it's so obvious It's kind of divorced uncle Coked up vibes at a wedding How are you going? How are you going? How are you going to have fun? I know you're going to have fun It's always to promote this forged Irish stat. So one of our mates went to an event, and it was kind of like him and influencers with the beer.
20:27Fuck knows how it's supposed to sell beer. They see him coming out of the cab outside, and it's like he bursts through the window. He's like...
20:40This is the best McGregor impression I've ever seen. So he gets in. Even though it's not a fight, they've got like ring girls for him and he's just trying to talk to everyone and they're like the last ones left the ring girls he clearly realised he wants to shag one of them what an epiphany to have he said to one of his bodyguards he sort of went up to them and they know what he means and our friend saw the bodyguard pull out one condom and a bottle of lube and he just, McGregor pockets it arms around the girls into a disabled toilet and literally like six minutes later just like how he got out of the car door he just burst out of the table like it's like with Conor McGregor he shagging doesn't take any of the energy out of him yeah yeah yeah still cracking up yeah he's big on shagging in toilets you hear so many stories about that yeah I guess you can have as much gear as you want in there as well yeah anyway after that that video went quite big and Conor started commenting on Mike Rice's Instagram I'm calling him inbred.
21:45No way. Which may be us after. Kind of mad to think he's like watching that shit. Sitting in his little... Yeah. Makes you think, what else is he watching? Am I going to be in Dublin soon? I don't want to be alone. I sort of hoped that by the time we were in Dublin, he would have moved to Dubai. I thought he'd be a Dubai guy. Yeah, he's got that vibe. I guess they're quite tight on the old drug laws, aren't they? True. Yeah, yeah. He's not sipping any beak in Dubai, is he? But is he not... You know how everyone says that all the shakes and stuff are all like doing gear and brassing. Really? Yeah, yeah.
22:16Constant. I thought you got your fucking hands chopped off. A couple of them are gay as well and are just like shagging blokes and it's like fine for them. They're just above the law. Yeah. So like, and I reckon those blokes like UFC. Would you agree with that? That like Saudi disowned crowd. That's like, So I thought maybe he'd be given that status and they just like let him. A lot of them do drugs. Maybe he's not above the crown princes just yet. No, but I think the crown prince would love him and get him in. Anyway. yeah gonna have to fire up the VPN and start posting the pod from abroad so that he doesn't don't know where we are doesn't know where we're coming to Connor we're coming to you from Albania actually he probably does know some quite a lot of Albania Albania's one of the countries quite a lot of mates in Albania quite a lot of contacts certainly a fan of their produce yeah NordVPN would be the answer for doing that you could pretend you're posting your pod from anywhere because it lets you change your location or if you're looking to access material that's not available in your region.
23:13You can do it with NordVPN. Sports matches, something fruitier. You could stream all your favorite content. Probably MMA, actually. Am I breaking a law? I feel like UFC fans were early adopters of VPNs. Yeah. Right? Because I reckon you can get some pretty fruity cage fighting on Russian servers. Yeah. Really, really, really dark stuff. Yeah, they love that shit in Russia, don't they? Sort of like man v bear. It's like Saw. yeah yeah four granddads versus two women sort of like it's like real life squid game was it hostile do you remember that film it's all that vibe they're just terrifying and they're laughing watching it it's like it's a horror film that's sunday night fucking family time yeah yeah that's a nice quiet one we've watched a horror now let's watch a comedy uh yeah i do you know what i mean though about ufc fans they're sort of like yeah buying they're online a lot yeah they're buying like weird research chemicals and crypto filth.
24:09Yeah. For a while, I remember hearing about VPNs and being like, why the fuck would I have one of those? I'm not a fucking weirdo in my basement, but now I am. It's worth it for the password thing. Yeah. What, what, Oh, what it tells you if your passwords have been leaked. Yeah. I think that's amazing. Yeah. Yeah. Also just, just streaming shit that you can't get. It's great. And we've got an exclusive discount for you. Just go to Nord VPN.com forward slash upshot and you get four extra months. and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Yeah. What idea? Link is in the show notes. Need I say more? Now, it's not all coke and groupies, we should say.
24:48In 2021, McGregor and his now wife, Dee Devlin, they have a third child. I did hear a rumor that he missed the birth because he was in bed with a girl. But that could be bollocks. Few people did send it. Anyway, after the birth, they decide they want to baptize the baby. and you know Connor and Dee are God-fearing Catholics there's only one place for that it's the Vatican of course yeah it fits right in there yeah yeah they've got a lot in common him and the pious men of the cloth and and you know it's a beautiful service I guess it's in St Peter's I don't really know but like you know it's proper I think how do you get to do your I think you've got to pay some dough at the Vatican he got married there as well I think you've got to pay some dough yeah surely but is it like you know how like the Pope will sometimes be mates for people and you're like, yeah.
25:35How's, like Maradona, I guess. Can the Pope sort of sign those things off just because he likes someone? I can't imagine the Pope and Conor McGregor getting on, but you know what I mean? Yeah, he'd probably just heard the story about Maradona doing gear in the Pope's toilet and thought that sort of thing is, oh, fair, you'll be down with it. Anyway, they have this lovely ceremony, proper Catholic one, lots of chanting in Latin. And then afterwards, you've got to celebrate. Although this isn't exactly egg mayo sandwiches with the vicar. They basically, they get absolutely hammered with this, big crew at this hotel in Rome.
26:06And among the people they're partying with is this Italian TV presenter, Francesco Fascinetti. That is the most Italian TV presenter name of all time. Yeah, he's a DJ as well, apparently. And they get on really well. Like, they really hit it off. Him and Connor swap numbers. Like, he's a big fan. He's trying to bring UFC to Italy, so he's, like, really into him. And it's all lovely until Francesco gets up to leave. And he recalls later, suddenly in front of the ten people who are there with me in front of his bodyguards his brain went off he saw black and punched me he breaks his nose fucking hell so Francesco says he is a dangerous he needs to be stopped mental example of just like random violence on a bloke you were being friendly with one minute presumed that was a very quick friendship maybe the friendship was fake so that he could hit him right um so he's like pretending to befriend him but what actually sparked it nothing don't know he's tried to try and tried to leave he's got a very bad habit of just sort of punching like people now hasn't he i think it's like the ego's so big it's like if you don't do exactly what i ask then you've like crossed me and you've got to pay for it yeah um another this is actually horrible another woman said he attacked her on his yacht like physically beat her up she had to jump off the yacht and swim to a red cross fucking hell get away from him uh so given that history of wanton violence towards innocent bystanders spare a thought for the poor dubliner who knocked connor off his bike in january 2023 so connor's cycling down what to me looks like a sort of country road maybe it's sort of suburban dublin maybe it's in crumbling and um the bloke is driving in his car but the sun is in his eyes and it's proper sun trap he can't see that on the road in front of him is a man conor mcgregor cycling and he hits him at full speed from behind oh my god imagine his horror when he gets out the car he's already really worried looks down and it's the face of the notorious i'm so sorry i'm so sorry oh fuck um luckily we don't have to imagine because conor mcgregor immediately pulled out his phone and filmed the aftermath and his response might surprise you all good mate all good don't worry about it seriously mate that's nice that's fucking hell you could have been dead there mate look that kind of the cream of me boy why is he filming yeah yeah jesus christ i'm so sorry i'm not getting away my life there boys yeah you want to you want to i don't give a bottle all good all good sorry travels god bless brother yeah does he say are you connie mcgregor oh no to know what yeah grab it and throw it into this i'm gonna actually need a lift home with me that's that bike's yeah no matter oh good luck i'm at the coming i'm with it in the smoke of a whip i'm out i'm here what's your name my man Nick had smacked me in the car with his car he had the bike in the back wasn't it for him Nick that's all God bless you could just be sitting there going like oh fuck that's all that matters so McGregor basically if you're not watching so McGregor he's like oh it's all good don't worry about it and then it cuts and he's in the bloke's car the bloke's giving him a lift with the bike in the back and the bloke looks so sheepy it's like you also just be like this this is like a fever dream i like sat here with conor mcgregor in my car doing like his selfie but it's so weird he's so nice about it he's like oh good oh good don't worry but then do you think when you're driving giving him the lift and kind of like yeah it's just down that alleyway you're like that's a dead end and you'll start to think he's gonna get me in a second this is gonna flip you'd be absolutely shitting yourself sadly that moment of generosity of spirit was a rare interlude in in a terrifying era because he's he's back to his bad old ways he's also doing some pretty sad projections of his masculinity at this point so november 2021 his former opponent max holloway is on tv fighting and connor posts this quite pathetic video of himself pacing up and down and staring down the tv where max holloway is fighting
30:38that's sort of just like very coke paranoia but it's like wanting to be there you're trying to intimidate him he can't see you that bit if he smashed the tv it'd be better have you ever yeah it would be good that would actually be quite scary have you ever seen those videos of blokes like when there's a big fight on there's always blokes in pubs who are like fighting along they're like doing the fight sequence yeah and you're like what are you doing mate yeah um yeah that one's a bit sort of been sat on the sofa wanking hung over for the last three days vibe uh he's just like pre-nearly online right yeah he's just constantly filming and like the the bike crash the fact that like he's just been knocked off his bike like could have been a really nasty accident his first thought is to just film like a selfie yeah but you think that's like he's gone from being global number one in the world at what he does.
31:25And now he's just sort of fading into. Yeah. But I think also you're right there. He's basically got a really good eye for like what gets people's attention, which is what made him big. True. And attention is basically his currency. So he's like, this is going to make good content. Yeah. Yeah. Do a great pod. Maybe you're a guest. Yeah. You're very welcome to come on. Would you actually imagine us free? if the offer came and he was like I will come on and I want you to tell all the stories about me and I'll just be sitting here I'd do it probably get beaten up I yeah it'd be good for it'd be good for press I don't want to come anywhere near him to be honest yeah it'd be good be good for audience growth not long after that he posts a video that's even more mental it's his I think it's his wife giving him a blowjob on a boat what the fuck he's on a yacht we'll look at it he posts it on his own account he's on a yacht somewhere lovely and he's just getting head
32:29has he added this music later no I think he's probably got speakers it's a big old fucking bow isn't it yeah I think you can afford to have some bows yeah you've got that guy he's got his Uwe boom he's got a phone in a pint glass yeah in a shoe yeah I mean And you said that he's got an idea of what works well for content online. And he's just going straight. Yeah, but it's like... That is so weird. You don't actually see any... No, you don't. No, but you can tell. You see him with a hand on a head. There's an atmosphere to that video. He's obviously... Yeah, trying to give that impression. I do think for his fanboys, that's like the ultimate.
33:05Yeah, that's right. Do you know what I mean? It's like winning a million dollars on poker and then getting head on a yacht. It's quite Dan Bilzerian. Yeah, exactly. The red panty shot. It's a 14-year-old's idea of what is fucking cool. To be fair, it's probably quite fun.
33:24I prefer my pseudokus.
33:30Don't know why I'm slagging it off. It's probably fucking awesome.
33:35Absolutely not jealous. That'll be us one day when we're on the megabus up to Dublin for our shows. Keep buying.
Read the full transcript
33:44One pound return. Unfortunately for you, it's my head. You actually look quite a lot like her. You know those bogs on long-distance coaches that are always broken? We're in there, mate. We're just taking a turn. It's on the floor. You can see Skegness Harbour out the window. Grey day. Sort of the same. Look, blowjob's a blowjob. Close your eyes. Take what you can get, Jamie. Just pretend you're on a yacht.
34:16then did you see in 2023 that summer he did uh he did like a promo thing with the um the mascot of the miami heat and uh it was like a sort of skit where he was beating up the mascot you know i mean quite quite jokingly like hits the mascot and the mascot's like ah it's all fun and games but then as he's like motionless on the ground mcgregor just goes off script and lands a big old left hand to the mascot's face and the bloke had to spend the night in hospital
34:46so look they're kind of play fighting here shit and then yeah i mean like apparently it was he's also in his like velvet uh yeah the the suit is the velour track suit giving me elvis vibes apparently it was obviously scripted but then he went too far I quite enjoy the velour tracksuit but look at the way he hits him so fucking hard yeah you know bang I think the first one was meant to happen did he knock he knocked the fucking helmet off the chicken yeah the blood went to hospital and then wow that's a real chicken and then not long after that there's this video pops up of him fleeing a funeral wake in Liverpool with two bodyguards you just see him run into his car and then speed off.
35:35Seems to spend a lot of time in Liverpool as well. Yeah, I think he's got family there. And a great voice note does the rounds telling the supposed backstory. It's fucking proper gone off there. We were just standing outside and you heard a big fucking smash of glasses and that. And then he ran out with his bodyguards and was like, get me out, get me out of here now. And he's pulling up the car handle trying to get the car open. And he just fucking spun off me. But I spoke to a lad who was in there. Been in the toilets for like 35 minutes in the women's one. So I reckon he's been fucking smashing someone in the women's.
36:10Fucking smashing someone in the women's. Mate, I've been to Birkenhead before. It's absolutely naughty. On that above the voice note in the chat conversation, the bloke's written, Been in the open on the flake and then goosing birds in the bird's box in a Birkenhead shitbox. That's so good. So the rumour, I have no idea if this is true or not. It could be bollocks. But the rumour is that he was shagging. At the wake, he shagged one of the blokes there's white. in the toilets and got caught and a ruckus kicked off fair enough he fled at a funeral yeah I think I read it was his aunt's funeral auntie Pam auntie Pam I'm not sure auntie Pam from Birkinet she would have won us we had another message from someone I'm pretty sure this is almost certain this is not true but someone messaged saying that Conor McGregor isn't actually Irish at all he's actually from Oxford and then the whole Irish thing is just it's just a persona that's played he's created this Irish episode because it plays better with American fans what an insane persona that would be yeah Rupert is his real name Newbury yeah to be fair like everyone says he's like really coked up all these things but like is that maybe just how he is yeah maybe it is but the coke just sort of makes him a lot worse yeah I mean I think he's definitely got a bit of that energy about him anyway yeah There is that one video of him, you know, he did that film with Jake Gyllenhaal, weirdly, and he's like in it and he's really like shy and meek and his shoulders are twitching.
37:43It's actually quite depressing. He's obviously like hung over and tweaky and twitchy, but he's also, it's the first time I've heard him speaking. He's not like uber confident. It's pretty weird. Jake's a consummate professional, 75 movies made. you know i was i'm blessed to have entered into the movie alongside him god he looks fucked yeah he gave me guidance shoulders like twitching yeah you know we had a good rapport on set he has 75 movies made i have 75 bar fights made and that's it yeah i've never that's the only time i've seen him essentially out of character yeah which does make me think is it a character but then why isn't he in it there yeah well i mean it's a confidence thing though so i suppose like a couple of years at the limelight he's just like scrambling around seeing what he can do like and this is like a different setting for him so he's a bit like he's not comfortable i think it's like you know when you have one of those anxious hangovers yeah that's why that looks exactly like he's tweaking his eyes are twitching as well it's so i've never seen him before not with the bravado that's after a day free session birkenhead that Four funerals on the bounce.
38:52He brings a lot more energy when he sat next to Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia to watch a boxing fight and absolutely chews the poor bloke's ear off. You must have seen this clip. So good. He's like... Ronaldo's just sat there and he's just...
39:15You see the point where... Ronaldo like recoils a lot. You can just see like Ronaldo's noticing the like flex of spit on his face. What you want is Ronaldo to just wipe the spit off his chin. He can't honestly be on coke there because Saudi's so fucking tight for it. As discussed, I think the shake sorts him out. Really? Yeah, fuck. At level, if you're in with that lot, just a theory. Or he's just smoked a lot of shisha. A lot of smooze. A lot of bit tea. Yeah. And then in October 2024, he picks his next victim, Bakayo Saka, because he pops up at the Emirates and they get their cameras on them.
39:57It's obviously like a good celeb appearance. And he starts play fighting Saka. Like he's sort of, yeah, the cokehead uncle at the christening, just sort of like, come on here. And Saka ends up pleading with him to stop because I think he's fearing injury. Yeah, I bet. It's a good clip. Who the fuck let him on the pitch?
40:22who let him on the pitch he literally goes be careful yeah it'd be so funny if Saka got like an ACL after boxing Conor McGregor the club actually afterwards so you hear in the video Saka go be careful yeah and I guess Arsenal agree because afterwards they said we're reviewing our match day protocol don't let Conor McGregor ban him from the emirates no coked up nighters on the pitch yeah keep him in the stands uh actually saka is not the only youngster fleeing connor's advances not long after that mcgregor he takes his wife for a quiet weekend in the bucolic border village of rostriever in ireland you know he's looking for just a beautiful time away in some green hills i think it's a beach house actually but somehow even that romantic mini break turns into an opportunity for connor to meet out some old testament justice um so long text that was doing the rounds um literally doing the rounds on whatsapp i'll read it out so it said mad news coming out of rostruva this morning you's probably all know by now mcgregor has been here over the last few days and been staying in a beach house a couple of young lads got wind of where the house was and snuck up along the beach behind the house to try and see McGregor.
41:40The phones were out and lo and behold, McGregor was in the living room doing the wife on the sofa. Young lads being young lads, they videoed it and plastered it all over social media. McGregor caught wind of this and found out that one of the lads was young, name-censored, Mackin. Conor McGregor apparently went to his house along with four other men to get him, but he wasn't there. McGregor has no intention of going to the police due to his ongoing court case but says young Mackin will be got fuck no no one has seen or heard of Mackin since it happened this is far from over there was also a grainy clip I've seen of yeah really of him doing the wife I love that line young Mackin will be got can you imagine being young Mackin and seeing that and just being like gulp because I think they're slagging him off on a podcast and then there's fucking filming him shagging his wife like you're gonna get properly you're gonna get gone yeah um yeah still no word still no word from young macken yeah he's still he's hiding out he's had to change his identity he's living in living in gibraltar now um yeah it kind of seems like now it's over in a fighting sense for for mcgregor just now filling his time being generally just a coked up menace plus some recent quite ill-advised and slightly terrifying attempts to get into politics.
43:05So he popped up at Trump's inauguration in January 2024. I guess he got an invite. Yeah. He was pictured frothing in Nigel Farage's ear. Well, like Ronaldo style. Yeah, I think so. What does Nigel Farage make of Conor McGregor? I don't know. McGregor's probably on at him about trying to find out whether presidential pardons can extend to the UK and Ireland. and actually after that Trump invited him to spend St. Patrick's Day at the White House with him Christ he branded Conor his favourite Irishman and actually that same month Conor announced his presidential bid in Ireland an actual serious one yeah he never actually followed through with it because president in Ireland is figurehead right yeah it's sort of a ceremonial role opening hospitals in the build up to this when he's given it the big and about getting into politics he gives a very long very unhinged interview to Tucker Carlson.
44:00That's good. At one point, which we'll play now, he starts rallying against the Irish traffic police who he's had, he knows all too well. The scary thing is probably going to resonate with some absolute wrong-uns in Ireland though, isn't it? Another thing, the traffic car on Garda Sia Khan is one of the most successful divisions in the Garda, in the police force, in our police force for convictions and, you know, it is most successful. And it has caused untold stress onto the people of Ireland. I could, I wonder the amount of suicides and the amount of lives lost and families destroyed over the stress of the traffic car institution.
44:43You know, you get caught driving without tax or, you know, no NCT or... It's all a money racket, first of all. So just for foreigners watching this, you're talking about parking and minor traffic violence. Parking and minor traffic violence, yeah. Put through the ringer. And now in this day and age, which is why it's so infuriating. And then, you know, we'll keep calm with it. But it's why people in Ireland are waking up. Because everyone has felt in some way, shape or form the stress of having to make sure that you're above board on this money racket is what it is. So it's not to keep you safe.
45:14It's to steal money from you. Not to keep you safe. But on this day and age now, we've got our new visitors to the island who get fully exempt from driving without tax, insurance, NCT, and even on Irish Red Plates. Free as a board. Right true. After our nation has gone through the most stressful periods of our life, lives have been lost due to the stress caused of this branch. I think he's a bit bitter about his speeding ticket, isn't he? He's got 10 speeding offences. Yeah, lives have been lost. Do you think that's the main concern of the Irish people right now? I mean, everyone hates the, I can imagine in Ireland, the traffic police aren't that popular but yeah yeah i think there's other things going on not to that level it's just the most like rambling run he's just it's just like a stream of consciousness just just you can tell he's losing tucker carlson a bit of that tucker carlson's quite game for it but he's like is that right and that's the parking and i think police minor traffic he sort of has to make it about immigrants at the end to get tucker in um yeah he never actually actually ran shame then the winner do you remember it was the we covered it at the time and the winner was the woman who was very good at kick-ups i forget her name she'll sort the traffic police out his uh his bid for the presidency wasn't helped when azalea banks the pop star tweeted pictures of collard's penis uh allegedly that He'd send them to her unsolicited.
46:42In the pictures, it looks like he's wearing dickweights, which I've got to say, I'd never even knew were a thing until seeing... Well, that's why you've got such a weak cock. Exactly. Well, yeah. Yeah. She's really unhinged on the internet though, isn't she, Azealia Banks? She is. So she actually wrote back later and said that they'd actually been sending each other nudes since 2016. Nice. What she just thought would be funny to fuck him. And it was funny. Yeah. To be fair, dick weight is such a weird thing. It is very much Conor McGregor. It doesn't show up to me. It's dick weight. Yeah, that's who you sell them to, isn't it?
47:20For people who aren't familiar, it's like a ring. It's just a weight that wraps around your cock. God, fucking dick weight. But how do you, so do you do like lifts by getting a boner? No, yeah, no. You know the muscle you use to stop yourself pissing? That's your like pelvic floor muscle, isn't it? And so I think you're basically doing, I guess you need a boner, yeah. but I think you tense and release that with a boner it's like a pelvic floor exercise doing it now it makes you laugh I've been practicing for a while apparently it makes you last longer in bed I think that's the end game you seem to know a lot about this Jack on Patreon Jack will be doing a demonstration my class I'll take you through one
48:04since that there's been a few signs that Connor is in some way trying to reconcile with some of the bastardly things that he's done over the last few years uh he even went off on a trip to the forests of northern mexico to try ibogane uh which is basically a similar ayahuasca thing it's from a root so like it's like a hallucinogenic like really strong hallucinogenic trip it's like 48 hour trip uh it's like soul searching right yeah yeah it's ayahuasca style sort of thing uh and i've got to say that conor mcgregor is the last person that you would want to run into when you're on one of those retreats just imagining this like long-haired californian tech guru in a tie-dyed poncho sat there with some like bristol uni student with like a shark tooth necklace about to like find themselves on this 48 hour psychedelic journey and then the shaman introduces Conor McGregor as your fellow cosmonaut we've got a last minute edition he just comes in doing his like I hate your fucking guts you're most sensitive to like slight changes in energy in the room it's the last vibe that you want what are you seeing yeah so he afterwards he described the trip as incredible, intense and absolutely eye-opening, which I was thinking out of everyone, Conor McGregor could probably deal with a bit of ego death.
49:39Yeah, maybe it'd sort him out a bit. Yeah. I don't know if the trip exactly went that way for him. So he said afterwards, Jesus descended from the white marble steps of heaven and anointed me with a crown. I was saved. My brain, my heart, my soul healed. so i don't know if he's basically saying that jesus said he was off the hook
50:05which yeah i don't know if he's got what you really want to get out of that trip like most people most people have come out of him but i really i just need to reconnect with my father yeah kind of a girl because i have jesus yeah there's one man with an ego that size no hard truths were faced you know i mean he's gonna need to take a lot of it to get him sorted it out well the fact that he's giving it a go maybe he's gonna are you guys ready is there a plan in place for conor mcgregor act three where he's like facing up to his demons and it repents maybe is he gonna do he's gonna do like a russell brand born again christian yeah but what if it's not even a grifty one what if he does one that's like he genuinely becomes a really good guy i think it's like he's gonna end up in celebrity boxing matches yeah but do you not think like because he's how old is he?
50:51He's my age. So he's got a long road ahead of him. Like, could you see him maybe sort of like getting a bit old and reflective and sort of being like, you know, I'm a changed man. Maybe. You know, there's people who like work in drug counseling because they were addicts and they like, you know, ended up fucking killing someone. I think at this level of ego though now he's like. Also, I think there's just way too many skeletons in his closet. Yeah. He's done too many bad things to ever. Yeah, it's better to just bury it. Bury him. Yeah. We do need a third act. because we've had like spiritual self mastering fighter who dragged himself up from you know from tough life to become master of the universe then we've had the fucking cokehead nut job everyone yeah i guess maybe it's president yeah maybe he actually does try and get into politics yeah he's not going anywhere though he will keep exactly like what was he gonna be doing in 15 years what are you expecting just more of the same i to be honest i think if he carries on in this trajectory i don't know if he's gonna last 15 years to be completely honest with your point the most most recent video i saw of him was uh he was spotted with mike tyson looking incredibly coked up and teach sort of trying to teach mike mike tyson how to box um low to the body you see canelo you see josh do it they go low to the body and go high you see that's a hum bum so i was doing this right like you a boxing way is a lot of people do this in boxing they step forward yeah you never you jump in you jump in and you're here you're right here you get the impression no one's spoken for about 20 minutes mike tyson's just nodding yeah i think mike tyson is the blueprint for him because mike tyson fellow fucking rapist but also like mad life and and tough adjustment from like top fighter, but now sort of like into his pensive granddad.
52:46That would be a good trajectory for Connor. If he, if he pulls that, if he pulls that off, then I think. Yeah. Sort of pensive granddad. He's still a bit fucking tapped, but like sort of harmless. Yeah. Yeah. Weed. Get into weed, Connor. Weed or God. Yeah. Weed God pigeons. Yeah. That sort of vibe. Just remember you aren't God. I think that's sort of all there is to be said isn't there I don't think we'll be doing is here wrong discussions we'll do it again in five years it'll be a short discussion yeah well we are currently at the time of recording still alive so hopefully by the time you hear this that's still the case it could be the last one it's the longest suicide note in history two parter it's been good known y 'all but yeah thanks really enjoyed that so if you enjoyed it please share it with your friends honour fans or not whatever I hope you did me justice.
53:39JP, thanks a lot. Pleasure as always. You all look after me out there, won't you? I look after you both. You've got tough mates. You've got some muscle. What would we do without you? I know. Zach, thanks a lot. Thanks a lot, Joey. Thank you very much.
