The gym is located on an old famous skate spot, the one where Keenan Milton does his opening line in Mouse. Inside was smaller than I expected but it looked really nice and professional. Lots of punching bags and other training devices. It also had a caged area for octagon trickz.

There were a bunch of MMA guys in attendance but I couldn’t recall any of their names except Randy Couture, who’s ears are GNARLY looking! Ethan Suplee (Randy Hickey on My Name Is Earl) was there as well. His character on Earl is rather timid but in real life he looks like someone you don’t want to mess with.

Rudy and I had a change to talk to Bas Rutten for a while and I have to say he’s by far one of the coolest dudes I’ve ever met. And I’m not just saying that because he’s Dutch.

We not only chatted about MMA stuff, but even some politics. Bas found it interesting that guys like Jesse Ventura and Arnold Schwarzenegger could become governors. Bas said if he ever became in charge he would legalize marijuana, give birth control pills to teens and other very pragmatic solutions which would make the world a better place. So Rudy and I told him he should run and that he had both our votes.

Yes, that’s me trying to act tough and shit, but all I could produce was a retarded smirk.
