Joe Rogan welcomes Terence Crawford, noting their last meeting was before the Madrimov fight when Crawford discussed fighting Canelo at 168, two weight classes up. Everyone doubted it, but now they must acknowledge it. Skills pay the bills. Crawford agrees skills are everything.

Joe rewatched Canelo and Madrimov fights; Madrimov looked bigger than Canelo despite being at 154. Madrimov fought at 160 in his last fight. Outstanding performance against Canelo was a told you so for Joe, as friends thought Canelo too big, experienced. Crawford made it look definitive, not easy—pity patting then hard shots showed he was in the zone, motivated by doubters saying he'd get knocked out, too small, fighting for money. Not first time hearing he can't do something.

Crawford's situation like prime Roy Jones Jr.—critics said other than James Toney, he hadn't fought anybody. Joe argues Jones was just better, making opponents look bad; they'd look good against others. Crawford deals with this career-long: praise for beating guys he knocked out, dismissed as tomato cans. Happens because performances too flawless; critics nitpick opponents.

Rewatched Benavidez fight—tension, trash talk, emotions. Benavidez can fight; injury (shot in leg) didn't change style. Fought same before/after—no mover, didn't use legs for defense/offense. Crawford laughs off excuses. Took 12 rounds; right uppercut in 12th put him down. Benavidez had good head movement, ducked hooks/straights, so Crawford switched it up. He believed in himself, came to win.

Casuals undervalue Crawford's skill; insiders appreciate. Canelo fight cherry on top. Now doubters say Canelo washed/old, but Crawford older. Shows his level—people rationalize losses.

Like Bernard Hopkins beating Felix Trinidad at 36/37—called washed, then respect. Crawford called out everyone since start; promoters created divides, blamed him. Now promoters work together. Did it his way. Dirty business—promoters avoid matchups. Big one: David Benavidez vs. Canelo—everyone wants it, someone avoiding (not Benavidez). Canelo knows Benavidez massive, tall; Canelo 5'7", beat bigger guys with skill up to 175, KO'd Kovalev (later career), fought prime Bivol (Russian style, light feet in-out).

Sugar Ray Leonard vs. Aaron Pryor never happened. All works out. Canelo win stellar—outboxed prime Canelo from 140 to 168. Skillful, beautiful; Canelo heavy puncher, relies on power. Crawford's move: left hand then quick hook behind it to catch counter—Canelo great counterpuncher, so counter the counter.

Fight played out exactly as thought. Scouted Canelo vs. Berlanga, Munguia—knew he could beat from 135 on. Confidence peaked at Saudi fight; Canelo under-motivated, not sharp. Crawford trains every fight toughest. Berlanga survived by moving; Canelo frustrated.

Post-Canelo, Crawford now all-time great conversation with Sugar Ray Robinson, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard. Nice after hard work since age 7. First title March 2014; since, undisputed titles across classes. Now motivation just money—no topping legacy from pay cuts for championships.

Perfect finale: undefeated, all weights, beat Canelo, faculties/health intact, money. Fighters put body through hell; post-career, forgotten like old fighters at events. Prioritize health over money—one can't recover brain/mind.

Young fighters see dedication, discipline, exit on top. Identity trap leads to "one more." Crawford never craved fame, lights—did for family, low-key, no entourage. Shows up alone, even at UFC mistaken for Kendrick Lamar by truck (corrected later).

Surprised people see him solo at airport—no security. Pays entourage; chills under radar. Legacy > temporary attention; respect from boxing knows.

Doubters (Canelo/Spence/Madrimov stop him) must give flowers—proved wrong repeatedly.

Best switch-hitter since Marvin Hagler. Coach wanted orthodox only; Crawford switched anyway, trained both. Natural, unthinking. Underrated: recalibrates angles. In MMA, common now—overloads mind, hides combos. Disrupts foes preferring one stance; brain adjusts to flipped threats. Young fighters should train it early—better have it in bag.

Will help gym but patience limited—frustrated others not as adaptive/athletic. Coach: everybody's not you.

Terence Crawford explains that younger fighters who started later, like as teenagers, aren't as advanced as someone who's been training since age seven. Give them grace, take time, train them into their own style since not everyone has your style. Back up and tell them what you see rather than coaching them to be the fighter you want or a version of yourself.

That's difficult because everyone has a different style; you can't convince some fighters to fight your way. Wisdom for young fighters is valuable. Freddie Roach had some boxing matches but wasn't elite yet was a great coach. Elite fighters as coaches add an element where young guys want to impress, like having Terence Crawford in your corner. Buddy McGurk became a great trainer. Much to offer young fighters in minutia and intimate details of thinking during exchanges that change how they see fights.

Crawford helps with little details in the ring, on the bag, mitts, shadow boxing. Kids in the gym see him, look to the corner, hit the bag harder to get attention, get fired up. He gives them wisdom and they're appreciative. Good they see him in the gym all the time. His son wrestles next door while they box; he's on both sides.

Son just won state wrestling title as a freshman. Incredible. He wants to go D1. After the tournament Saturday on way to Ryan Garcia fight, son said, "Dad, I want to go to the Olympics." Crawford responded, "What kind of mind state is that? You got to have it in your mind you going. You can't say you want to go. You got to say, 'I'm going to the Olympics.' That way, you're programming it for the future."

Crawford learned that mentality from being doubted his whole life. Coach Mitch Miner said, "Lahy dy, we fight anybody. They ain't fought you yet." Carried that: anybody put in front of him ain't fought him yet, so can't say they can beat him until they do. Instill confidence in son: whatever you say you want to do, go out and do it but put the work in first. Doubters give fuel; many live off haters.

Mimoff and Canelo were respectful; Crawford respects them, been a fan of Makhmudov from Uzbekistan and Canelo since he can remember. Didn't have killer instinct in heart to beat them brutally. Other fights like Benavidez, wanted to knock them out. Even in training, no rage against respectful ones talking no trash; they never got under his skin. Wanted to whoop them but not inflict pain or knock out.

At 140, stopped one fighter (name escaping), wanted to knock him out badly. Mad after because missed two crazy hooks before stoppage; he would've gone to sleep.

Danger of sport: legitimately putting life on line. Many don't understand until something happens. Boxers have died in ring, gone in one way and left different. Fans criticize boxers for doing what sport is: boxing. What fans call boring, boxers call doing the sport right. Fans don't give credit to pure boxers like Floyd, Shakur. Want bleeding, battered, knockouts, not thinking of aftermath: hospital, blood on brain, pissing blood. Body not meant to be beat like that. Fans paid money expecting fighters to kill each other; that's wrong. Always morons, casuals who don't appreciate.

Shakur vs Teofimo last fight was art. Sneaky jab at half speed then popping him; Lopez couldn't get out of way. Beautiful, barely got hit. High caliber fighters, Shakur on different level due to boxing IQ, not that Teofimo didn't belong. Didn't trade shots, give opportunity for one good shot to change outcome. One shot in right spot at right moment, anyone can get knocked out; human brain not designed to get punched, especially big punchers.

Teofimo can crack, big dude, world champion; one of most lopsided performances. World champion vs world champion. Every moment up to 12th round had multiple "oh my god" moments. Love watching pinnacle guy where everyone thinks otherwise. Teofimo aggressive, beat Lomachenko, nasty jab, big power, tough. Shakur didn't run, stood in front, wasn't getting hit. Boxing at highest level.

Fascinated by Shakur vs Ryan Garcia. Ryan looked amazing, fast, beautiful fight. Shakur different animal, whole different skill set.

Crawford went to Shakur's camp before Teofimo fight, saw focus and intense training, tweeted Shakur would whoop Teofimo's ass; he did. Ryan spectacular vs Barrios, but Barrios didn't come to fight. Ryan boxing great, jab and overhand right working. At end, Ryan said to Crawford, "You see my jab?" Crawford: "It was beautiful." Not used to seeing Ryan jab or box. Commends him, aced it. But Shakur not Barrios: has jab, head movement, defense, range, good legs. If Ryan careless, gets countered all day. Won't be as competitive as thought; Ryan will fight different than vs Barrios due to Barrios' lack of speed.

Ryan's speed extraordinary, relies on it.

Many thought Devin Haney different, would give Shakur problems. Dropped Devin early with left hook. Wish no positive drug test; tainted everything. Shakur and Devin fought most out of all; Shakur and Ryan sparred, Shakur won all times. Devin overconfident, Ryan juiced up. Can't take away punches landed, performance. Steroids add something.

Ryan tested positive for ostarine (low level). Many say levels too small to matter. Ways to mask steroids; UFC banned IVs because super hydrate flushes body, nutrients mask PEDs. Must hydrate by drinking, no IVs. IVs can mask traces; if used to rehydrate and showed trace, suspicious.

Fight no contest, unfortunate; clear victory, dropped Devin few times, best victories. Both fights great for Ryan; in great position: unification vs Rolly (lost but can avenge), Devin unification, Shakur spectacular fight. If Javonte comes back, rematch without rehydration clauses.

Rehydration clauses crazy: can't weigh more than X day of weigh-in. Crawford to Canelo: weigh whatever, no excuses, just make 168. Floyd made Canelo do same. Guys see big purses, cut small beforehand; not smart, body not fully hydrated, worst way to fight. Cutting tremendous weight terrible disservice to body.

Crawford's most cut: 47 lbs for Spence fight (35-40? 47). Started months out. Week of fight at 52-54 lbs, reasonable. MMA fighters do it wrong, last minute dehydration. Crawford starts gradually, changes diet two months advance to get body used to lighter weight, performing. Otherwise hurting self, fluid out of brain, more vulnerable to KO.

Alex Pereira fought 185 walking 225 (40 lbs). Crawford got hurt vs Gamboa at 135 (ninth round, stopped him but caught clean; leg locked up). Only fight hurt like that; Mean Machine hit hard but not like Gamboa. Weight cut contributed. At 135, hardest cut; walking 155? Cut 7 lbs week of fight.

Always skinny, from 132 to 135 pro, cool with weight. Filled out with strength/conditioning, moved up. At Canelo weight (168), most comfortable: eat whatever, no focus on weight, felt better in ring. Had to eat to keep weight on, not used to big portions/starving.

Has nutritionist: meals weighed, x protein/carbs, body fat checked, weigh every morning. Ring weight ~172 for 168 fight, couple pounds over.

MMA flawed in weight classes: giant leaps (205 to 265 heavyweight, 185-205=20lbs, 170-185=15lbs). 7lbs lot in boxing. Crawford way stronger at 147 than 140 (7lbs muscle no cut). 135-140=5lbs matters. Tweeners too big for one class, too small next.

Anthony Rumble Johnson 230lbs fighting 170 (cut 60lbs), killing him to brink of death day before. All did it to be biggest. Need more weight classes/options to stop extreme cuts, healthier fighters, more champions. Only 8 champions limiting; in boxing can win multiple. No one done 3 in MMA; Pereira might try heavyweight (walks 240, fought 185).

20lb gap huge mass difference; frames don't line up perfectly. Extreme weight cutting worst for MMA. Boxing less extreme. Jermaine Taylor got big between fights, cost him vs Nigel Benn (contributed to brain bleed). Roy Jones didn't want that. Losing fluid in brain back takes days to return fully without IV, just drinking water.

UFC dominates MMA with only eight weight classes, forcing others to follow. California has more weight classes, but they are not widely adopted. UFC heavyweight limit is 265 lbs, which is restrictive. Example: Tyson Fury weighed 280-285 lbs against Deontay Wilder; would need to dehydrate 20 lbs to make weight, which makes no sense for heaviest class. Nikolai Valuev fought Evander Holyfield over 300 lbs, a literal giant. Suggest talking to Dana White about removing the cap; he has wacky rules that would disrupt the sport.

Changes in combat sports must come from fighters uniting, like in boxing. Fighters underestimate their power because promoters cut checks, but promoters can't without fighters. Established fighters can take stands, but those needing money prioritize family bills over boycotts. UFC's dominance creates a seesaw effect unlike boxing's competition.

Francis Ngannou, devastating UFC heavyweight champion, left due to unsigned deal, joined PFL. Knocked out opponent there, but nobody watched. Makes more money now, boxed Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, doing well financially. UFC is best promotional organization: makes stars, fills seats, sells PPVs. Fighters from other orgs take pay cuts to join UFC for visibility; PFL pays more to attract talent since everyone wants UFC.

Not a true monopoly (ONE FC, PFL, Russian orgs exist), but like NFL, NBA, Q-tips—dominant brand. XFL not Super Bowl level. Fighters hard to hold out for money if seeking glory and legacy as top dog.

Ask what you're doing it for: fame, family stability, money, legacy. Elite focus on greatness over money to reach top levels. Ngannou chose PFL for better pay despite fame loss. Conor McGregor signed with UFC for $15 million next fight; business decision, not disloyalty. Promoters cut losing fighters without loyalty—it's business.

Boxing has many promoters (Eddie Hearn, Bob Arum, Don King), competition, cross-promotion. MMA lacks cross-promotion; early UFC sent fighters to Pride FC Japan, brought some back. UFC bought Pride for $65 million, got only video library—contracts invalid, no fighters like Fedor Emelianenko.

Fedor was complete fighter: kicking, slamming, armbars. Prime overlapped Cain Velasquez; Russians (gangsters) demanded UFC stake, talks contentious—UFC upped security. Fans robbed of greatest matchups, like Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao (delayed, Pacquiao hurt shoulder; now exhibition at 50+). Mayweather-Tyson exhibition: Tyson much bigger, Mayweather unlikely to land after recent performance (looked scripted, Tyson biting gloves).

Heartbreaking seeing icon at 57; earned at least $20 million. Better ways to monetize with connections if advisors prioritize his interests, but entourages often lead to lawsuits, theft. Fighters focus on fighting, not business—distraction. Floyd lives lavishly (unlimited money tap), faces lawsuits, owes money despite massive earnings, comes out of retirement.

Floyd can't live modestly—shows watches, million in backpack, latest cars. Bugattis $3 million, watches $35 million; one each downs $10 million. Iran Barkley drained money keeping up with athletes' diamond chains. Chad Ochocinco wore fake jewelry, flew economy, slept at stadium to save—clever, unquestioned as NFL star. Real diamonds need testers/magnifying glass.

Jewelry not smart unless factory-direct Rolex with box/papers (investment). Billionaires wear good watches, not chains. Real wealth invisible: plain clothes. Better wealthy (invested, no money worries) than rich. Athletes have short prime (20 years, 20-40; 40 end unless Tom Brady/Bernard Hopkins). Hopkins fought world-class at 49-50, super disciplined, clean body, prison mindset: discipline everything.

Surround with success-oriented people who intervene: "Hey, we ain't doing that. Let's run/gym/healthy food." Avoid party/cocaine crowd okay with bad choices. Entourages problematic—one screw-up causes conflicts; rolling deep (30 from SUVs) unnecessary show.

Nothing different for 168 lbs vs 154/147: focus sharpening weaknesses. Strength coach Chad started February pre-fight: house workouts (deadlifts, legs, shoulders). Coming off labrum surgery (right shoulder after Madrimov fight, throbbed sleeping; left torn Gamboa fight, unfixed but functional). Physical therapy emphasized. Trained body early, then camp: running, swimming—no weight gain, just tighten up. Waist Hill stem cells recommended for labrum (helps UFC/NFL athletes). Currently chilling, time with kids, no workouts post-fight. No rematch offered/discussed despite rumors/internet claims ($100M demand lie); Canelo claims win but no outreach.

"Is there a number that that would bring you back?" "I don't know. Like, me personally, I I can't say it is, you know, because"

No rematch in contract; no conversations.

Crawford states he checked everything off his boxing checklist after decisively beating Spence, giving him only one round (the fifth). In the ninth round, Spence headbutted him on purpose, saying "Sorry, champion." Crawford doesn't complain about fouls like back-of-head or low blows because he's aggressive; it's up to the referee, otherwise he handles it himself. He stays composed instead of getting angry. In the ninth, he poured it on, cracking Spence with big shots. His coach advised not to ease up, just keep boxing decisively since he was winning hands down. Crawford trusts his coaches completely, even if they tell him to jab the whole fight. He aimed to win the last round decisively and felt he hurt Spence bad, but Spence has a crazy chin.

Crawford notes redheads are hard to knock out, proven by Google search. His cousin, a nurse, said gingers require more anesthesia to go to sleep. Redheads have a mutated MC1R gene affecting nerve sensitivity: higher threshold for heat/pressure pain but need 19-20% more general anesthesia or higher doses of certain anesthetics. They have paradoxical increased sensitivity to some opioids. This explains Canelo taking so many good shots. Neanderthals had red hair and were brutally strong, possibly linked. Crawford's cousin confirmed it's harder to anesthetize redheads. 19-20% difference is significant, like the margin between sleep and not waking up. Canelo rides horses since young, good for balance, legs, base, thick neck, big square head. Neanderthals had a mutation for more pain sensitivity despite red hair.

Jim Lampley mentioned Canelo's horse riding builds balance/core from squeezing/adjusting. Crawford saw a guy break his arm falling off a horse during a parade photo op right after he rode one safely; his brother Manny warned horses are crazy. Horses are unpredictable; Crawford's daughter quit after falls injuring her wrist. Falls can cause life-changing injuries, especially if stomped or leg caught.

Crawford bought land in 2016, rented out existing house to best friend, sat on it until needing space for more kids. Building takes years from design to construction; pick every detail. Now peaceful: kids ride four-wheelers, shoot guns, wake to sunrise/nature. Critics said he built on Errol Spence money, ignoring the long process.

Crawford stays competitive in basketball, football, darts, pool—beat Lennox Lewis running two racks. Elite athletes are insanely competitive; some get into gambling like Michael Jordan. Crawford never gambles, even on his fights. Bet $10,000 with Aiden Ross who called out him/brother on stream, betting Tfemo would beat Shakur (crazy 6-to-1 odds). Rides with Shakur, potential all-time great if stays focused. Young fighters like Shakur/Devin must avoid limelight distractions, stay focused on legacy over fan-pleasing or masses criticizing styles (running, pity-pat). Keep winning.

Floyd fought safe late-career but sold via trash talk; people paid hoping he'd lose. Examples: Tyson, Roy Jones Jr., Muhammad Ali. Black boxers must play circus role/talk shit to sell, unlike Andre Ward, Terence Crawford, Tim Bradley called boring/unsellable. Judge by ring performance, not words. Tyson Fury talks shit, sells tickets, great post-fight (singing in draws). UK fans support warriors win/lose/draw (e.g., Amir Khan vs. Kell Brook electric despite losses). US chews up/spits out after losses: "washed, bum."

UFC more forgiving of losses (Khabib undefeated, Jon Jones had controversial loss, Cejudo beat Mighty Mouse after early loss). Fighters have 5 losses yet top-supported. MMA harder to stay undefeated: styles, variables, training injuries (grappling, jiu-jitsu, kicks, elbows). Boxing injuries alone: hands, shoulders, back, knees, ribs, neck. Add MMA: head dumps, knees to face, leg kicks, broken toes (Pereira fought world title with broken toe, popped it back after). Never enter world-class fight 100% healthy; camp ensures something bothers you.

Before Canelo fight (injured Halloween, fought September), both shoulders hit; healed somewhat but not 100%. Started hard training April post-surgery. Shoulders complicated with multi-movements. Jab/hook less snappy/hard vs. prior fights/Spence, noticeable on close watch but still effective. Left shoulder bothers if overused, not in fights. Now 100%.

Joe suggests Austin for stem cells (only time Crawford visited was podcast). Julie loves Austin (college, bars, restaurants). Stem cells regenerate tissue, heal fast (weeks), loosen everything. Healed full rotator cuff tear completely (doctor shocked 6 months later). Avoids surgery revenue for pharma/surgeons/doctors who push cutting. Crawford's doctors avoided cutting until necessary post-Majima. Perfect time now (not training hard) for stems; heals fully without re-injury.

Feels as supposed to; retired life same—focus shifts from training/fights to kids/gym. People congratulate everywhere, but daily life unchanged. No interest in commentary/media.

Terence Crawford prefers chilling and avoiding media attention and the limelight. He turns down requests for interviews and does not aspire to be a commentator like other fighters. Joe Rogan appreciates this mindset, noting that those who crave attention struggle when it fades, questioning their identity. Crawford avoids red carpets and knows who he is internally, happy in his own skin. This self-belief helped him succeed despite doubters calling him a bad businessman; now they acknowledge he knew all along. He ignores followers who never took risks.

I'm happy in my own skin. I'm happy, whether they chanting my name or whether they not. Long as my family love me and my family there and they good, they well taken care of, then that's the only thing that makes me happy.

Rogan hopes young fighters adopt this mindset, avoiding the temporary flashiness of fame.

Fame is temporary; crowds turn quickly after a loss or mistake. Example: Adrien Broner was at the top with everyone in his corner, now mocked and suffering. Crawford encourages Broner at his lowest. Rogan notes Broner's talent but how he got caught up in it. Jervante Davis (Tank) is talented with an economical, explosive style but reportedly on the run recently.

Great time for boxing with stars fighting each other, promoters collaborating. Attributed to Turki (Riyadh Season), who changed the game by approaching fighters directly to make big fights happen, paying money promoters like Top Rank wouldn't. Examples: Shakur Stevenson vs. someone, Canelo fight, Madrimov fight for Crawford. Needed deep pockets to make these fights; boxing is rising, more support across shows including Claressa Shields' sold-out event with 16,000+ fans.

Shields put on a hell of a performance in a skillful, banging fight; she wanted the knockout, ferocious and unique star transcending boxing. Can encourage more female stars like Christy Martin, Laila Ali, and Anne Wolfe (Woelf), a ferocious trainer who pushed James Kirkland hard (bag on truck back), making him undefeated under her before Canelo fight.

Anne Wolfe got into Kirkland's mind and body with Rocky-style isolation: work, eat, sleep, boxing. Rogan recently watched old footage: Hagler's camps in Provincetown, running beach, no TV, sparring 100 rounds/week, pure discipline. Hagler not flashy but broke wills (Mugabi fight favorite; Mugabi hospitalized people). Hagler had chin from hell, extraordinary mandible muscles (CAT scan showed headgear-like development).

Sugar Ray Robinson's mountain runs, bag work, calisthenics highlight discipline needed; ring is easiest part.

In Colorado, runs mountains even when unmotivated; trainer Bo pushes: "I'm not about to argue with you for you to be great. Let's go." Been with him from start. Best performances on days he doesn't want to train—conquers inner resistance, spars aggressively to avoid getting hit. Young fighters see his three-a-day eat/sleep/work regimen: "Ain't no such thing as training too hard."

Took advice from Tim Bradley and Andre Ward: one full rest day/week instead of seven days or active rest incline. Helped recovery tremendously, especially older; wishes he did it years ago but was locked in fearing opponents gaining edge.

Fine line to avoid diminishing returns/overtraining (seen in MMA without heart rate monitoring). Coaches visually know Crawford: pull back if peaking early (e.g., four rounds done, not eight; shadow box/mitts instead). Flip-flop activities: yoga, swimming over running. Beauty of good trainers knowing signs, preventing overtrain.

"Compared to who?"—body conditioned over years handles high volume (e.g., Cameron Haynes ran marathons daily for 250-mile ultra). Young fighters tire in three-round MMA fights due to lacking years of cardio base, not partying, knowing breathing/efficiency.

Crawford initially thought UFC conditioning too easy (no soreness), but saw gradual results vs. home soreness. Psychologically needs to feel worked, but it's science; elite fighters driven, need slowing down for progress to peak week before fight.

Prime in 30s: know body, camp feel, experience best teacher. Listen to veterans. Rogan: wisdom helps future fighters on mentality, coaches, avoiding bad ones limiting development.

Styles differ; not everyone processes same, can't coach/yell uniformly—breaks some. Figure what motivates each fighter; crazy livelihood depending on another's performance.

Coaches blamed despite athletes performing; can't force execution. Get fired by non-experts judging results, not day-in-day-out nuances. Athletes make it look easy (e.g., catching bullet across middle vs. 7-footer).

Tito's corner in Shakur fight: "You got to hit him"—useless emotionally; need setups. Everyone not suited to coach. Even then, nothing could close Shakur's gap; should study more in training. Problem is years.

Years of advancement, intelligent boxing, setups, and skills lead to success. When a fighter has a knowledgeable coach they believe in, and the coach instructs them on specific tactics, they'll execute it effectively. For example, if the coach says, "He's stepping back every time you step in," the fighter should step in twice, double the jab, close the distance, and let hands go in range. Success builds from following such precise instructions.

Then that's a different ball game. <<

This changes everything because the coach observes the opponent's patterns and provides technical instruction for success. You can't just go out there and swing wildly.

Fighters hear useless corner calls like "Tell me how to dip" or vague yells that make no sense. In MMA, it's common to hear "You got to put it on him," as if pressure happens by magic.

Congratulations on a fantastic, spectacular, one-of-a-generation career. It's beautiful to watch, and as a fan, it's an honor to have you here. What you've done is incredible. Enjoy the rest of your life—you earned it all.

Definitely. Thank you very much. <<

All right. Bye, everybody.
