Terence Crawford on Playing Video Games at Camp | Joe Rogan

You know what I've always loved watching, but I'm scared to get good at is chess. Just seems like it would eat your fucking time. See, yes. Do you play? Yeah, I taught him how to play. He taught me and I beat him the same time. Oh, look at you, he's like stuck, he's like stuck. You beat him at the same day he taught you? He just taught me how to move to pieces and I beat him. Jesus. Wow. That's interesting. That's interesting. So we're international, right? So I'm one with a fifth right now. I let this dude beat me. Hey, I is dead. I let this dude beat me. This internationally ranked? No, I'm saying we're on an international show, right? The whole world is watching. Yeah, I let this dude beat me. You let him beat you? Watch that. Because, you know, get his confidence up. Get his confidence up. But hey, but this is how I do do it. There's some fights where I want him to play chess so I can use his mind, right? So, okay, all right, all right. The whole camp is using his mind. You use this mind. So I'm like, okay, all right. So he come out there and he have a great performance. So I'm like, okay, all right. That's another strategy to try to get him to do better, right? But there's some mornings, I'm going to tell you about this last morning we had. You don't let me beat him. I just beat him. Anytime I really want to win, I win. Listen, come downstairs, right? So he comes downstairs and his boxes and shit. This old Terrence Crawford look, looking at everybody like, hey, good morning. Good morning. Let's play. All right. I'm kicking his ass, right? He getting mad. He getting mad. You can see it in his face, right? So he started making these different moves. No, man, you can't do that. No, man. Yes, I can. Yes, I can. No, you can't do that, bud. You can't do that. After a while, you just got to kind of fear for your life a little bit. I like Vic Fenton with this dude in chest, man. It's funny when he's losing. He beat me that day. He didn't want to play me again. I was so high. I can see it in your face right now. Oh, yeah. He's counting it. You can see you reliving it. Because he just called me off guard. He's just like, you know what I mean? I'm coming downstairs to eat some breakfast and he came up. Let's play. He got it ready and everything. I'm making stupid. I'm like, damn, man. I didn't see that. Like, fuck. So he went. He won't play me. But the next times he played me, I whitewashed him. Killed him so bad to where he didn't even want to play me no more. It's funny, isn't it? That's one thing that champions have. All champions, they hate losing any game. And Jordan, they said if you beat him playing pool, he would fucking hate you. Because what didn't want to talk to you. Until he could beat you again. Until he got you again. See, my thing is we have a lot of people that want to play the game. Right. So I don't play the game like I used to. I used to play and I used to beat them all. But once my nephew got good, I stopped playing. I'm like, man, you're a game here. I ain't got time to just sit on the game. Right. You know, like video games like Xbox. Yeah. 2K. You can't fuck with those kids. Those kids that don't have responsibilities, they don't have children. They don't have nothing but time. They get too good at those goddamn things. And you would lose your life trying to chase them. So now it gets to the point where I just watched them play. So we had this dude named Chance. And I was like, oh, man. So Chance, we got Shakur and we got Chucky. They all like to play and we got Kenny. So Kenny was playing Chucky. Chucky and Chance was always going at it with each other. And Kenny was beating Chucky and he was just rubbing it in his face. And it was just like you can see how mad he was. And this dude, Chucky, he's the one that always be like joking around and stuff. It's all fun and games. And you could just sit. Why is you even talking if you're not playing? It gets so bad in the house, man, too. You got to put the game up. Do you guys have moments where you don't want them to play games and things like that during camp? You just want them just dressed? No, no. Because that's relaxation. Is it relaxing? Yeah. But video games are a little... they get you tense. That's why he took the game. You got to take the game, man. It gets so tense. People want to fight each other. People get it. Arguably. One dude will get mad. The other dude will be like, ah, you mad. Ah, you mad. You're like, man, shut up, man. That's why we spar when we get to the gym, huh? How about that? It'll be... It'll be funny as shit, man. It can cause problems, too. Oh, sure. A bunch of competitive dudes all training together and then you play something competitive that makes you angry if you lose. Yeah. Yeah. Recipe for disaster. Right. Hey, they don't care. They don't care. They don't care an aisle fan. They just like, whatever. I still want to play. It's like a big daycare. That's basically what it is. It didn't mean I'm the oldest. Got to start cussing at them. You can't eat. Don't you come out your room. Get up here and do these dishes. Oh, man. It seems like you guys are having a good time. Oh, man, that's beautiful. Oh, yeah, it's fun. Campus. Campus fun. It's hard work and it's hard, but at the same time, you know, work is work and then we try to come home and, you know, clear our head and not just be so mentally drained over thinking about the fight. Right, right. So we want it to be fun at the end of the day.
