and and you know the book that I got coming out it made me made me remember a lot of things you know not that I forgot but it just brings a lot more things fresher in your mind yeah and kind of re I don't it's not like I sit around and reflect about what I've done in my life you know I just keep moving forward but that book kind of made me do that and and you know it was It was kind of fun to kind of look at my life in that way for sure and I'm sure it prop out back a ton of memories yeah and it's funny when we were writing it that you know I'd always come up with after I'd read read it after you know it was kind of written down there I was like oh you know I forgot about this story or that story or that you know kind of goes with that so we had to kind of add a bunch of [ __ ] oh it made it a little tougher cuz I feel like I've forgotten more things than I remember these days but you never know uh but yeah did you do an audio version of it uh no but I I was like you it'd be cool to actually read it myself and in the audio thing with my voice and and they wanted me to send a sample of that I did like a five minute I read I played it back to myself I'm like oh my God there's no way so I sent it to him saying yeah we might want to think about a professional for this one for doing this I know you can edit it but yeah it's not good then my wife got home from work and I had her listen to it and we just couldn't stop laughing it was bad I mean I'm not the best reader I guess well it's tough to do it's there's a there's a real skill to reading audio book and trying to put the the emotion part in into the what supposed to be like if you're telling a story see yeah no there will be an audio version but it won't be my voice so I think acting is that a question for you acting uh I don't know I mean I could do certain things but I don't know if i' I really don't want to act like that much ry's done an amazing job yeah no I little thing like action movies I'd probably be okay at for sure but but some of these other TV drama type [ __ ] there's no way right I mean I just I I probably couldn't do it with a straight face they do after this we kind of did this book and and there's some producers like like Barry Josephson like wants to do a biop piic on me now oh that's awesome and yeah and and my question to that was H and question to you how do you put your life in a two-hour show yeah how do you do that without them doctoring it too like what they did with Mark Schultz and fox catcher yeah yeah that that's hard because they're going to want to tie it up in a nice ribbon right so I mean now they're talking about you know a limited series instead type of thing oh that'll be interesting like a Netflix type deal yeah yeah that'probably be better yeah if they did your whole life in a two hour what they chop out I mean right right right what do they chop out yeah yeah what would you what would you be in your movie if it was only 2 hours how the [ __ ] did you do it right yeah it'll just be a [ __ ] version of your life right just to make a movie yeah right who's G who would play you uh I think they have a couple guys in mind but yeah nobody that looks really like me exactly but do you have anybody that can move right though you know what I'm saying walk like a caveman well also punch and and throw you know and have good takedowns yeah the one guy that that is a possibility I think he trains sometimes at boss's place oh that's good um yeah you'd have to have you can't have just an actor that doesn't actually know how to fight right it would look terrible yeah and and I think whoever they do pick should probably come up to my gym for a couple months and 100% yeah yeah you get to beat up on him a little bit maybe that'll motivate you to get back into the gym yeah yeah I'll just have him get in shape for me yeah well let me know uh when that comes out because I definitely want to hear it and we'll tell everybody about it yeah Sor I wanted to you to have the book a little bit ahead of time but never got you got a I think I showed you the cover your quot You got a quote on the back of it I believe it's on the back I can't read it without my glasses Dan Henderson here well I got glasses hold on I think they just took uh one of you're commentating uh yeah here it is oh Dan Henderson is a Savage he came from a pure wrestling background very little striking training and he went and became one of the most dangerous one punch knockout artists in the history of the sport facts facts it's available now you can get it uh the audio book you get a oh for one credit um it's on Kindle it's on hard cover available right now h the American athlete you know uh where the I was trying to figure out what to name it and when I was in Japan I always had I had like all sorts of different nicknames and they would just call me Dan but the media over there called me the American athlete oh so that's why I kind of came up with that it's a good one
