Transcript

Crazy thing with the clav choke out clip is, bro, I've had so many fans of my meetups. I've probably had 10 people ask me to choke them out. I don't know what it is. Like, people ask this, and I I remember asking my lawyer years ago, like, is that he was like, never do that. Never ever do that. You could get sued even if they, you know, say it's totally fine. Like, if something happens so, obviously, I know, Clive would never sue, like, his boy that did that. So that's not really doesn't really pertain to this. But, yes. Sometimes, like, you know, I've been choked out before in jiu jitsu, and I've choked people out in jiu jitsu. And I've seen a lot of it best being in the these gyms. And, yeah, sometimes people do kinda, twitch a little better. So I think he's fine. It's not good for you to get choked out a lot, but it's definitely not as bad best, like, getting knocked out. So yeah, man. Hopefully, he's fine.
