00:22 30 years these guys are locked at the hip. They're not that well I will say, I was going to say maybe locked at the lip. In fact we both tested for my fourth degree black belt he tested for his first degree black belt in 1970 Detroit and that's where i met him young teenage boy and i talked to him then joined the Marines and when you get out come California they did it and he's been with me ever since Howard's real good. He was the world kickboxing champion for a few years and never 6-12'd away from the world. Yeah, he had one more fight to fight Sugar Ray Leonard for the title. Got beat on the split decision and that boy is home down. It was kind of a... I've never seen anybody kick like him because he can't run up against me
01:22 But when you watch some of his videos and stuff on me, he goes, my leg is way up there. Even pushing 50 you're still doing it! Are you older than me or are you a little younger? I'm a little older. He's an old girl! I'll be 49 in a couple months. Well, I don't even want to hear about it... I'm going to be 61 here soon so I don't even want to hear about it from you guys. March 1st. Mine is March 10th. Is there any March 10th? You know the only way we're gonna combat this Joe is publicly
