1
00:00:25.359 --> 00:00:28.559
Broadcasting the Live Good Afternoon Blockhead Nation. Thank you for

2
00:00:28.559 --> 00:00:30.839
stopping by, and once again I'm glad you're here. You

3
00:00:30.879 --> 00:00:35.479
are listening to your favorite blockhead, the only podcast in

4
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.920
the podcasting world that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic

5
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.000
strip one minute and then be talking about MMA and

6
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.200
Warriors inside the Octagon the next. I am your host.

7
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:47.200
My name is Brian Little. If you are new to

8
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:49.759
this show, there are three things that are always talked about.

9
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.399
Number one, God is King. Number two, Peanuts is the

10
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:58.000
single most successful comic strip in American history. And number

11
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.240
three mixed Martial Arts is the great sport under God's

12
00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:03.880
hot sun. And What I Don't Do a good job album.

13
00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.159
The front end of this podcast is reminding everyone that

14
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.799
this is a listener supported podcast from listeners just like you.

15
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:13.719
So if you want to help, check out the links.

16
00:01:13.840 --> 00:01:16.079
If you go to the description at your favorite blockhead

17
00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:19.439
dot com slash blog, you will see the coffee page.

18
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:22.200
You will see the merchandise. You will see all the

I appreciate that anybody who listens or takes time to

22
00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:33.599
come by this podcast. That's the most appreciated that really

23

26
00:01:41.319 --> 00:01:43.760
those things are super appreciated. But if you want to

27
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.040
go a little further, if you check the link at

28
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.280
your favorite blockhead dot com slash blog, that's another additional

29
00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.359
help that the blockhead nation can contribute. So that's all

30
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.159
I'll say. It's just a small little ask, nothing, no

31
00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.840
kind of persuasion of any kind. So as you're here,

32
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.840
most people that I've discussed the Peanuts with have said,

33
00:02:02.959 --> 00:02:06.719
if I ask them, which one is the most philosophical,

34
00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:11.639
you know, the one that has the deepest thoughts, overwhelmingly

35
00:02:11.719 --> 00:02:15.360
most would say that that would be Linus. Now that

36
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.240
really is hard to debate. Is you even go back

37
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.039
to the Christmas episode. All through the entire series, you'll see,

38
00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.199
even though he has a security blanket, most of his

39
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.919
insight is a kid who's aged beyond his years, somebody

40
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.120
who's always not just a matter of opinion, but he

41
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.479
really is a person who is a good influence and

42
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:41.719
very beneficial to Charlie Brown's psyche. So those are all

43
00:02:41.800 --> 00:02:44.439
laid out if you watch it. But I have one

44
00:02:44.520 --> 00:02:49.000
to rival that thought. Did anyone ever think that maybe

45
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:55.400
pig Pen could be a slight more philosophical than Linus? Now,

46
00:02:55.439 --> 00:02:57.240
automatically you hear that and go, why would you go

47
00:02:57.280 --> 00:03:01.280
with the kid that's so dirty? Why would you choose him?

48
00:03:01.400 --> 00:03:03.120
Isn't he the one that needs to take a shower,

49
00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.639
that always seems to have a fixed to him the

50
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.840
dust of the earth. Yes, the same one, the same

51
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.560
one who can't keep his shoelaces tied. Yeah, the same one.

52
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:19.240
But what he does have is contentment. When he does speak,

53
00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:26.759
it's wisdom packaged in with many other factors, so he

54
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.280
doesn't speak out as much. What's that old phrase, less

55
00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.759
is more. If you were to compare Lias and Pigpen

56
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:39.159
just on dialogue, there might be a debate there. You

57
00:03:39.159 --> 00:03:41.319
can even go back to an original comic strip. Now

58
00:03:41.360 --> 00:03:45.280
some would look at this and go, that's not philosophical, Blockhead,

59
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.560
It's not. It's just something to contemplate because in one

60
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:51.439
of the original comic strips you had Charlie Brown saying, hey, Pickpin,

61
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:55.520
where are you going without being direct, He says this,

62
00:03:57.000 --> 00:04:00.280
as the duck is drawn to the pond, as the

63
00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.319
rabbit is drawn to the briar patch, So I am

64
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.599
drawn to the mud puddle. Of course, you have Charlie

65
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:12.759
Brown roll his eyes and say, oh, good grief. He's

66
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:16.600
just a little hard to understand. He's part of the minority.

67
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:20.959
But when he does speak, there is something philosophical and

68
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:25.120
something that is wisdom beyond his years that maybe could

69
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:28.920
rival Linus. Here, just something to throw out there and

70
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:30.920
to contemplate. If you want to reach out blockaded Nation

71
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:33.240
or leave a comment, we can talk about that. We

72
00:04:33.279 --> 00:04:35.519
can discuss it even further. So now we talked about

73
00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:39.000
pipin heading to the puddle. I found a guy on

74
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:43.639
YouTube that brought something to the surface recently that I've

75
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.720
kind of known for years. But he was shocked by

76
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:52.120
the fact that Peppermint Patty would sometimes refer to Charlie

77
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.240
Brown as Charlie Brown. What am I talking about? I'm

78
00:04:55.240 --> 00:04:58.800
talking about the Thanksgiving episode. Again. It's pretty easy on

79
00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:01.319
this show for me to be sei and talk about

80
00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.279
what's coming up. Well, you've got Charlie Brown Thanksgiving coming soon.

81
00:05:05.720 --> 00:05:10.560
How I continuously debunk the lie about Franklin being ostracized.

82
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:12.319
All gotta do is look at my TikTok or on

83
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.759
my phage on Facebook and you'll see what I'm talking about.

84
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:17.959
I can debunk that one any day, anytime. But when

85
00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.680
it comes to Peppermint Patty, you actually have a moment

86
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.680
where she goes outside and tells everybody we're all invited

87
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.639
to Charlie Brown's grandma's house for Thanksgiving dinner. And it

88
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.680
seems like it shocks his world when she goes, wait

89
00:05:33.720 --> 00:05:38.519
a minute, Peppermint Patty didn't call him Chuck. Peppermint Patty

90
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.360
threw in this small elusive detail. Charles Schultz have these

91
00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:48.600
subtle little clips that make us think on a deeper

92
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.560
level if we stop and think about it. I don't

93
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:55.279
disagree with you, sir, But that isn't the only episode

94
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:59.639
that she calls in Charlie Brown. It seems like when

95
00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.800
she's a dressing an issue, or if she has something

96
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.160
on the back end, she'll say his name in full.

97
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.319
How do I know if you look in the episode

98
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:12.800
There's no Time for Love, Charlie Brown. Yes, she calls

99
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.040
him Chuck all the way through the show, but at

100
00:06:15.040 --> 00:06:19.199
the very end Marcy is, I guess you can say,

101
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:21.519
scowling at her for the way that she spoke to

102
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.040
Charlie Brown, where he would referred to as boring, dull, wishy,

103
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:31.600
washy old chuck. So, while she's consoling her and saying, well,

104
00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.240
what's your planning now, sir, you can hear Peppermint Patty

105
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:37.879
go well, I don't really know what to do about

106
00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:39.920
Charlie Brown, but I sure know what you can do

107
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.399
for me. She asks, what could that be? Pray tell,

108
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.680
and that's when Peppermint Pass screams at her stop calling

109
00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:52.279
me sir. So this isn't the only occasion where in

110
00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:54.319
the TV specials that she would call him by his

111
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:58.079
full name. It was just kind of sprinkled throughout the show.

112
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:01.360
Did Charles Schultz really have a reason or any kind

113
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:04.560
of intent behind that? Maybe not, Maybe it was just

114
00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.560
being pressed for time. But again, she's called him that

115
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:12.319
when it's really either he's distant from the episode he's

116
00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.800
not in the room, or it's when it's addressing a

117
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:20.439
serious issue, or if it's a resolution to something. Hey,

118
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:23.439
we've had a piece of toast pretzel stick popcorn, looks

119
00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.439
like we're gonna get the real Thanksgiving when we all go,

120
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.600
including Franklin, who get to go to Grandma's house and

121
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:32.759
ride in the same car you know, in the back

122
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.160
of the station wagon. That debunks all the nonsense about

123
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:40.600
Franklin being ostracized. I know I'm going off on that,

124
00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:43.319
but even in the released one of the Franklin series

125
00:07:43.319 --> 00:07:47.800
on Apple TV, it's a different chair. That chair is

126
00:07:47.839 --> 00:07:50.279
the one that Snoopy had a run in and a

127
00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:54.920
fight with earlier. It was for comedic relief. So just

128
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.040
saying I can go into all the details and I

129
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.360
can definitely just cut people down to size, try to

130
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:04.120
show how out of context they pulled that scene from Franklin.

131
00:08:04.160 --> 00:08:06.800
But Peppermint Patty does refer to him in his full

132
00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:12.120
name several times throughout the TV series. That's just one example. Now,

133
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.759
if you feel like I'm ducking and dodging around the

134
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:19.480
main issue here, I'm not. I'm just saving it for now.

135
00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.639
If you think listening to this episode that I am

136
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:28.439
euphoric about the election results, let me just talk to

137
00:08:28.480 --> 00:08:32.360
all of you for a second. Blockhead Nation. I come

138
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:35.840
to you with my heart in my hands. I did

139
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:43.720
not get my way. I didn't elect him into office.

140
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:49.600
If you remember I chose Snoopy, and somehow Snoopy wasn't

141
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:52.840
even in the final race for the twenty twenty four election.

142
00:08:53.679 --> 00:08:56.879
But that was my previous vote. I meane that clear

143
00:08:57.879 --> 00:09:00.279
that Snoopy would be the most interchangeable press and end

144
00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:03.799
of all time. Is there some hope in euphoria and

145
00:09:03.840 --> 00:09:07.600
some Reaganomics esque coming up in the next four years.

146
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.960
Probably so, But I voted for Snoopy. I made that

147
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.519
clear on all of my social media. But you know,

148
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.320
just like Linus once told Charlie Brown, the world didn't

149
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:20.480
come to an end, and we look for anything that's

150
00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.080
beneficial in the next four years. As you take all

151
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:26.639
that with a grain of salt, and as I wrap

152
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.480
up part one of this show, stick Around, we got

153
00:09:29.519 --> 00:09:32.240
plenty to talk about in the world of mixed martial arts.

154
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.320
Our scripturey in for this podcast comes from Galatians three,

155
00:10:03.480 --> 00:10:08.759
verse fourteen, that the blessing of Abraham might come on

156
00:10:08.840 --> 00:10:13.519
the Gentiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the

157
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:18.480
promise of the Spirit through faith. Reflection from Blue Lair

158
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:22.399
Bible says, through the Cross of Christ and our vicarious

159
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.559
life in Him, he who believes becomes children of Abraham.

160
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:32.720
These are going back to the abram Covenants and the

161
00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:35.159
Dividic Covenants and eventually into the New Covenant. And so

162
00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:41.600
we are made heirs in Him through his righteousness. So

163
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.639
go forth, Blockhead Nation, proclaim the mercies of our Lord

164
00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:50.960
and Savior, thereby increasing the very Kingdom of God. So

165
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:54.240
if I can begin my podcast on part two here,

166
00:10:54.279 --> 00:10:55.679
this is where I go into the world of mixed

167
00:10:55.679 --> 00:10:58.879
martial arts. I gotta start with one guy in particular,

168
00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.360
Joaquen Buckley. Now, if you are friends of this show

169
00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:08.679
and have been listening for a while, a few years ago,

170
00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:12.559
I spoke on the Nightly Rant with friends Mike and Torrea.

171
00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:15.159
Shout out to those guys over the Yogi's podcast network.

172
00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:20.799
They wanted to talk after Joaquin Buckley had shown the

173
00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:25.200
world one of the greatest knockouts, maybe in the history

174
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:27.639
of the sport, but certainly in the history of the

175
00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.159
Apex out of Las Vegas. So we were talking about

176
00:11:31.159 --> 00:11:34.039
that and then he brought up this knockout and I

177
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:36.879
quickly went too, yeah, yeah, Joaquen Buckley pulled off something

178
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:40.320
amazing here where you have the catching of the heel,

179
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.039
but then he completely swings around almost in I guess

180
00:11:44.080 --> 00:11:47.159
in wrestling form like Rob van Dam would have done

181
00:11:47.159 --> 00:11:48.919
back in the day and completely catches the guy in

182
00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:52.120
the chin and just like a stiff board falls to

183
00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:55.600
the ground. So the world knew about this knockout at

184
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:00.519
that time. Joaqum Buckley has that claim to fame. He's

185
00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:04.639
got another one now he was able to actually knockout

186
00:12:04.679 --> 00:12:10.200
and I quote able to knock out WonderBoy. It's something

187
00:12:10.200 --> 00:12:13.519
else to be able to one take on a fight

188
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.519
in the Apex and knock out this guy and get

189
00:12:15.559 --> 00:12:19.279
the accolades that he got. It's another thing to figure

190
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:23.840
out the puzzle that is WonderBoy. Well, Joaquing Buckley's not

191
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:26.879
only done that, but he's knocked him out. So it

192
00:12:26.919 --> 00:12:30.200
comes down to this. Now all he can do is

193
00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.919
punch up in the rankings. Is he doing it? Oh?

194
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.600
You bet he is. Joaquing Buckley has called out two

195
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:42.600
names in the welterweight division. He's called out the undefeated

196
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:48.279
Ian Gary. Now that one in itself is a juggernaut

197
00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:52.480
of a fight that's easily a headliner in twenty twenty five.

198
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:55.159
If we can get Ian Gary in his undefeated strength

199
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:57.960
against the guy who has some of the greatest knockouts

200
00:12:57.960 --> 00:13:00.000
and one of the most important knockouts of all time.

201
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.919
I'm in the walterweights to put Buckley against Gary, that

202
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.320
is art in the world of UFC, that is mixed

203
00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:13.000
martial arts to its best and highest degree. But recently

204
00:13:13.919 --> 00:13:17.159
he's shot even higher than that on the rankings. How

205
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.600
do I know because Woking Buckley has also asked for

206
00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:24.879
somebody else, arguably the greatest walterweight of all time. I'm

207
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:30.720
not talking about GSP, I'm talking about Camara Usman as

208
00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.039
in what's currently active. The debate now is who would

209
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:39.080
hold that spot. Would it be GSP or would it

210
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:44.559
be Usman. Buckley has asked for him as well well played.

211
00:13:45.639 --> 00:13:47.639
So as far as what we can get, as far

212
00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:51.360
as Buckley against either Ian Gary or Usman block a nation,

213
00:13:51.480 --> 00:13:54.000
I'm in all the way and all of his real

214
00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.720
accolades started with the Apex, so it should be exciting

215
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:01.759
to see what direction we go and who walking Buckley

216
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:03.639
will be penciled in with as far as the world

217
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:06.480
of MMA. But getting back to the Apex, we do

218
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.399
have a main event tonight. We do have Neil Magni.

219
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:13.639
We have a veteran who since twenty thirteen hasn't had

220
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.919
two losses back to back since then. The question now becomes,

221
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:26.679
is this guy another welterweight, is Carlos Pradas the guy

222
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.559
that can actually do this something hasn't been done in

223
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:34.720
ten years. Magne's coming off of a loss, He's getting

224
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:39.919
a main event tonight and the Apex and Carlos Pradas.

225
00:14:40.720 --> 00:14:44.440
If you just look at one his striking accuracy, which

226
00:14:44.480 --> 00:14:48.600
is phenomenal on how many he's landed, I mean he's attempted.

227
00:14:48.799 --> 00:14:50.360
We can go into the details of all that. His

228
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.080
takedown defence up to about eighty percent. Most of his

229
00:14:54.120 --> 00:14:56.159
strikes are gonna catch you in the head, not just

230
00:14:56.200 --> 00:15:00.639
the body. But he's he's coming off of three knockouts

231
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:04.320
in the last three fights he's had since February twenty

232
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:08.840
twenty four. Hear me why I'm telling you this. Carlos

233
00:15:08.879 --> 00:15:12.639
Prautus has not come out of two rounds and all

234
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.840
of his fights in the last three have been by

235
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:21.240
ko every single one of the methods. So the question

236
00:15:21.279 --> 00:15:25.799
now has to be asked, is Pradus the one who

237
00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.720
could dethrone the veteran and work his way up the rankings.

238
00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:30.679
Now he's not going to break into the top ten.

239
00:15:31.120 --> 00:15:34.639
With this fight, he's just going to solidify that I

240
00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:36.879
can take out a veteran. Now it looks like I

241
00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.600
have a shot at anybody in the top ten for welterweights,

242
00:15:39.960 --> 00:15:43.120
which is already stacked enough as it is. I just

243
00:15:43.200 --> 00:15:46.480
talked to you about Ian Gary and about Usman, about

244
00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.120
Joaquin Buckley. Who amongst that, you have the champion below Mohammed,

245
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.360
you have the undefeated schof cut Rutmanoff. You got Colby Covington,

246
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.080
you got Leon Edwards, you got Jack Della. You've got

247
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.360
unbelievable talent that protests would have to insert his name

248
00:16:02.399 --> 00:16:05.120
now into. So the APEX tonight, at least in the

249
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:08.399
main event, is still carrying on what's happening in the

250
00:16:08.440 --> 00:16:13.919
welterweight division. This is intriguing block ad Nation as far

251
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:17.360
as who is fighting it out for rankings. Who's gonna

252
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:20.519
get what they've called out? Now that I'm on the

253
00:16:20.679 --> 00:16:25.200
segue about calling out people, this gives me an opening

254
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:30.720
to once again call out John Jones. Now, John Jones

255
00:16:30.720 --> 00:16:33.320
could not possibly care less with this little blockhead and

256
00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:36.480
this little podcast cares about him. But I want you

257
00:16:36.519 --> 00:16:41.639
to consider something recently, John Jones has come out and

258
00:16:41.679 --> 00:16:45.480
said that he has no interest in one guy, that

259
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.440
he's gonna fight this guy in November and hang it up.

260
00:16:50.200 --> 00:16:53.200
But he's kind of interested in this guy. So if

261
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:55.399
we can go through that little trifecta just for a second.

262
00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.639
Here we are John Jones and Stepe main event UFC

263
00:17:00.639 --> 00:17:04.920
three h nine at Madison Square Garden. Okay, starting with

264
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:09.359
this one, You've got two years of inactivity with John Jones,

265
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.480
you got four years of inactivity with Steve A. Miocicic.

266
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:17.640
You got the most days without a title defense for

267
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:21.039
John Jones. You got the most days without fighting before

268
00:17:21.160 --> 00:17:24.680
a title shot that goes to steep A. These are

269
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:27.599
not good odds, blockhead Nation. Everything I just said about

270
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:31.400
the welterweights from a diehard MMA fan should be interesting.

271
00:17:32.039 --> 00:17:39.319
This are two guys who will not face somebody. There

272
00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:43.880
is a current day interim heavyweight champion holding a title.

273
00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:50.240
His name is Tom Aspinall, and nobody wants anything to

274
00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:54.960
do with him. And this guy has cleaned out all

275
00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:59.480
of the rankings in the welterweight division and neither one

276
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.799
of them have brought him up. Oh, he doesn't interest

277
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:07.960
me at all. Now I'm reading that John Jones might

278
00:18:08.079 --> 00:18:14.880
be more interested in the most reliable superstar currently in

279
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.359
the UFC today, with the most UFC gates of the

280
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.480
last two years, who would be current day light heavyweight

281
00:18:22.559 --> 00:18:29.480
Champion of the world. He's more interested in Alex Perera. Okay,

282
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:35.359
you're fighting Steepe and supposedly hanging it up, solidifying yourself

283
00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.960
as the greatest of all time. You are interested in

284
00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.880
Alex Perera, who the fan base has been begging to

285
00:18:45.960 --> 00:18:50.599
go up to heavyweight because thinking about Alex pere versus

286
00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:53.799
John Jones is what has all of the fans salivating.

287
00:18:54.000 --> 00:18:58.160
You're interested in this, but you want nothing to do

288
00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:01.240
with the man who I have said on this podcast

289
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.240
can be the one who can dethron John Jones. You

290
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:09.440
want nothing to do with Tom aspinall, it is insulting

291
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.119
to the integrity of this sport that John Jones is

292
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:17.960
more interested in Alex than Tom to be able to

293
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.240
dethrown the guy who holds an interim title that supposedly

294
00:19:22.359 --> 00:19:25.759
was held for you. But you want nothing to do

295
00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:30.160
with this guy. Why Because you're sc A R E. D.

296
00:19:32.960 --> 00:19:39.640
You're terrified of Tom. Just admit it, John Jones. Putting

297
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:44.960
that out there. Alex Pereira has not been officially declared

298
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:47.640
that he is leaving the light heavyweight division. There's been

299
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:51.160
nothing about the relinquishing of the title in any way.

300
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.720
You only got one guy left. If you're going by

301
00:19:55.759 --> 00:19:59.880
the rankings, all you've got is the number one ranked

302
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:06.160
my gommet, Uncle Eliath, you cleaned out everybody else. You're

303
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:12.960
pro Hosca defeated twice, Jamal Hill destroyed, Yon Blahovitch taken out.

304
00:20:13.279 --> 00:20:18.160
You got nobody standing in Alex Pereire's way except one.

305
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.680
You've got Uncle Lath who when I was getting these

306
00:20:22.759 --> 00:20:26.599
notes ready, I was asking my little red hair girl,

307
00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.319
please don't help me forget any of this. You know

308
00:20:29.359 --> 00:20:31.480
how sometimes you get these thoughts and they come to you,

309
00:20:31.759 --> 00:20:35.440
and instead of taking notes yourself in a lazy attempt

310
00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.359
to remember, you say, hey, spouse, could you help me

311
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:41.839
remember these things? This is what happened. What did she do?

312
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:50.680
She sends me a message about Uncle Lyle, even made

313
00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:56.319
a meme about this Thanksgiving dinner with Uncle Lyle. We

314
00:20:56.440 --> 00:20:59.599
have plans now, So if you haven't seen that on

315
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:02.960
on my social media pages, you're gonna see Uncle Lyle

316
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.839
thanks to the little red haired girl. So uncle Lyle

317
00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:11.359
is supposedly facing Alex Prera next as far as we know,

318
00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:17.960
so we'll see how that transpires. With Uncle Lyle, We'll

319
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:25.839
get y'all next week, same blockhead, time, same blockhead
