Conor Mcgregor vs Floyd Mayweather
Achieve the Impossible
Two of the most legendary fighters in combat sports give an interview about the process of making your dreams come true when coming from nothing.
Conor McGregor: The 188 was what I used to collect on the social welfare.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Conor McGregor: Every day I was daydreaming it. But of course I can go back and think there. I live there in my head, you know what I mean? I'll always be there. I show up and work every single day like I'm not in the position I'm in, like I'm not me, so that's the mindset I have.
FloydMayweather: Thing about me, I don't forget where I come from.
Speaker 4: Neither do I.
FloydMayweather: I come from poverty. I come from poverty. I come from the hood. I come from the streets. I'm the American dream. I worked my way from nothing to something.
Conor McGregor: People have doubted me, my whole way up. This has been a bit more intensified, the doubt and the criticism. So I'm just gonna relish in it. The aim is to prove myself, my supporters and my fans and the people that are with me, prove them correct. And then the second aim is to prove the doubters wrong. That's it. So we will do that August 26th. We will relish in it. Thankfully all the criticism and all the doubts, it's been all recorded. So I'm sure we will all have a good time looking back and seeing what they said then to what they say after.
FloydMayweather: When you're in a certain position, they try to defeat you in many different ways. They feel like it's pressure on me. Like I said, they try to defeat me in many different ways. They try to bring up the tax thing, they try to bring up, "He's been locked up, he's arrogant, he's unappreciative." Years and years and years, they've been trying their best to defeat me mentally. I can't be defeated.
Speaker 2: Do you remember the first time that the thought of fighting Floyd Mayweather crossed your mind?
FloydMayweather: Actually, I asked for the fight. I think it was kinda mutual. I think I wanted the fight, pretty sure he wanted to fight.
Conor McGregor: How many times have I said I'm gonna do something then I go and do it? It wouldn't be the first time, it certainly won't be the last. It's a dream come true for me and honor to be able to reach his level.
FloydMayweather: I'm strong, smart, patient, and-
Conor McGregor: If you work hard, you can achieve great things.
FloydMayweather: You have to do what makes you happy. And Floyd Mayweather gonna do what makes him happy.
Conor McGregor: If you can see it here and you have the courage enough to speak it, it will happen.
Military Dad Defends His 4 Little Daughters When Strangers Make This Rude Remark
Military Dad of 4 Daughters Defends His Girls When Strangers Make This Rude Remark
Austin von Letkemann is the military officer strangers feel "sorry" for — and the reason is infuriating.
Whenever the devoted father leaves the house with his four children, strangers can't help but notice the officer in uniform is holding hands with 4 adorable little girls. They will tell the traditionally "masculine" and "all American" dad they feel sorry for him, because he has no sons. This dad makes one thing very clear: They are his daughters, they aren't a burden.
In a passionate video, von Letkemann took to Instagram to share with his followers that the only thing that's "difficult" about being a girl dad — is clapping back to these sexist remarks over and over again.
They Mock His Daughters To Their Face
When strangers approach Austin von Letkemann and his four daughters, they don't always realize that their comments are being overheard. They seem oblivious to the fact that his girls understand every word. Von Letkemann describes how people will approach him and, without thinking, make remarks like "I'm sorry" or even joke about his lack of sons. What they don't realize is that these comments, intended to be light-hearted or humorous, can be deeply hurtful to his daughters. These strangers are not just disrespecting von Letkemann's choices as a father; they're also sending a message to his daughters that their presence is something to be pitied. It’s a message that von Letkemann won't stand for, and he's speaking out to defend his girls from these insensitive remarksSaying "Get Your Shotgun" Isn't Funny — It's Sexist
Another common comment that Austin von Letkemann encounters is the old "better get your shotgun ready" trope, often delivered with a smirk or a wink. This line is typically intended to suggest that a father with daughters should be on high alert to protect them from potential "suitors," implying that they are objects to be guarded rather than individuals with agency.
Von Letkemann finds this line of thinking outdated and sexist. In his viral Instagram video, he points out that these jokes are not just stale — they're damaging.
By suggesting that his daughters require armed protection, the joke reinforces the idea that women are inherently vulnerable and need to be shielded from men. Von Letkemann argues that instead of promoting this narrative, society should focus on teaching respect and consent, challenging these sexist tropes at their source.

"If I Had A Fifth Child, I'd HOPE It Was A Girl" — One Dad's Message For Other Parents
Despite the constant remarks about his lack of sons, Austin von Letkemann is clear: He wouldn't trade his daughters for anything.

Von Letkemann's stance is a powerful one, rejecting the notion that a family is incomplete without sons. He encourages others to question the assumptions behind these comments and to appreciate the joy and fulfillment that his daughters bring. By sharing his story, von Letkemann hopes to create a more inclusive perspective on fatherhood, one that values daughters just as much as sons.
