not quite understanding… so you’re reading Randy’s book, and he mentions John Perretti, and that J. Perretti claims to have rolled with Randy, but Randy says thats not true, and he only met with J. Perretti, no rolling ? (p.124)

Oh yeah.

Couture met him for the first time and just shook his hand. The same day, Peretti was telling people that he rolled with Couture. They didn’t roll. Sorry for not making that clear.

I have that question in the chamber

Honestly, I legit have 4 more pages of notes that we didn’t touch

We are going to bring in his business partner when we talk about Battlecade

I was always told that he was related to Guccionni

John P. was using his memory loss when you asked him how he met or knew Guccionni.

as well as Igor Z., after you asked him ‘THE’ question. 10 seconds before then, he was like ‘we talk all the time, a week or two ago even’

lol

He comes from a law enforcement background and was being a bully within the conversation

When you want that to stop and let them know that a little respect is needed

You ask a hard question that they won’t answer

In this instance it bacame a stand-off

  • whoever spoke first was going to be the “bitch” in the conversation

Joey came in and broke the tension

  • we knew that this was going to happen prior

When we game planned it was to get this interaction out of the way immediately in order that we could maximize our information gathering with him

  • we discuss this on the wrap up

Perretti is not for novice interviewers, he will chew them up and spit them out

  • while only giving information that he wants to talk about, not what you want

What exactly are Peretti’s martial arts skills and accomplishments as a practitioner?

A black belt from Gene Labell is impressive on it’s own for grappling, but aside having what I assume is a black belt in karate or Taekwondo (given his widely broadcasted picture of a vertical side kick), did he have any known record in striking?

He Claims do have had over 10 concussions in interviews. Some have referred to him as a kickboxer. Never seen video of one of his matches.

Awesome stuff. I knew we were in for a good one when you said right at the start “Obviously you are in Law Enforcement…”
And he right away responded with that tone “What do you mean obviously” lol you must be tuned in to some tells on that given your background that most wouldn’t pick up.

He sounds pretty good for 16 concussions I think it was he said lol

Yes , His interview skills are BB

Joey started the intro of “gloves and round times”

That took that part away from him, so that we could get to the meat and potato’s faster

He might be getting us John Lewis

I just rewatched some of it and I realized that Ron Van Clief story that he hyped up like it was going to blow our minds went absolutely nowhere.
