Forrest Griffin on Fox and Friends – Watch more Funny Videos

Former UFC light heavyweight champion Forrest Griffin appeared on Fox and Friends this morning to discuss his second book, Be Ready When the Sh*t Goes Down: A Survival Guide to the Apocalypse.
Although the release of the book isn’t necessarily a newsworthy event, what is worth noting is that Griffin will be donating the entire proceeds of the sale of the book to a number of charities, including one that has been set up for the young son of his dear late friend John Grantham, who was referred to throughout his first book "Got Fight" as "Big John."
Here’s the lowdown courtesy of theultimatefighter.com:
"Even if they get nothing out of [the book], I hold myself free from harm, because I donated every penny that I make from this book to charity. I didn’t keep any money from the book at all to help you survive the apocalypse. That’s how much I care about you the reader.
There’s a couple of different [charities the money will go to]: Fisher House, Three Square, a food bank in Las Vegas, our church, and then a couple more personal ones. The guy Big John, in the book, he passed away, and he’s got a five-year-old son, and he’s got a trust set up, so some of it’s for that as well. I kept no money from the book. It didn’t go to charities like the ‘Forrest Griffin Needs a New Car Foundation.’”
Having been on the receiving end of Forrest’s bizarre and dry wit, I was surprised he didn’t call the female interviewer in the video out for referring to him as "the UFC lightweight champion."
2/3 through the book, funnier than his first in my opinion and i really enjoyed that one
