1
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.159
Broadcasting Live good evening. Blockhead Nation, thank you for stopping by once again
2
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.799
before we take a three week break. You are listening to your favorite Blockhead,
3
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.119
the only podcast in the podcasting world
that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic
4
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.039
strip one minute and then be talking
about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the
5
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.120
next. I am your host.
My name is Brian Little. And when
6
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.079
I say I have to take a
three week break, it's not because I
7
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.799
choose to step away from the microphone. I just wanted to let the Blockhead
8
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.319
and Nation know ahead of time that
I will be making my way out to
9
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.879
West Texas and I'll be spending some
time with Senora Blockhead, who will be
10
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.760
recovering from a knee replacement surgery.
So therefore I have to put the podcast
11
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.519
on a break. That's all it
is. Don't think I don't look forward
12
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.840
to every week getting on the microphone
and talking to you. I really I
13
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.920
know that when I get back on
this that I will be super anxious.
14
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.760
I'll be itching to hit the record
button again. So I just want to
15
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.760
make sure that the listeners are aware
why I'm about to take a three week
16
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.920
break, and I'll get back to
you as soon as I can. Second
17
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.519
of all, this is a listener
supported podcast. Any of us that are
18
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.719
don't have huge fan followings, that
are in the trenches putting out content weekly
19
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.519
or monthly, or whatever the case
is for you, we do have ways
20
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.120
that you can support us, and
I haven't really done a good job of
21
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.280
supporting that. I've always said go
to the blog, which is the easiest
22
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.080
way, but I'll point you to
some things in the blog. If your
23
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.360
favorite blockhead dot com slash blog,
you'll see every episode I've been doing from
24
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.400
the beginning to twenty to two hundred
and ninety plus. That's about where we
25
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.400
are. We're close to three hundred. There's some links for some merchandise.
26
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.960
If you want to get a kouzie
for your soda or for your adult beverage
27
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.479
of choice this summer or for Father's
Day, there are couzies that are available.
28
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.960
If you want to get yourself a
shirt. I have a friend of
29
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.240
the Blockhead Nation who have put up
on Facebook and Instagram to support the show
30
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.680
that he is wearing the merchandise.
You can get us T shirts at fifteen
31
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.080
dollars a pot. But if you
want to get a discount on that.
32
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.319
The best way to do it is
the koffee page. Here's how it works.
33
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.120
If you go to the blog and
look for the koffee page, that's
34
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.840
my donation tip. Jar consider it
kind of like a gofund me four podcasters.
35
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.800
But here's how it works. If
you feel my show is worth it,
36
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.639
you give me a cup of coffee
or as it says, a root
37
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.680
beer. You'll get a shout out
on the podcast as soon as I come
38
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.280
back on the microphone. If you
give up to three cups of coffee three
39
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.159
root beers, which will amount to
nine dollars, you will get a T
40
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.599
shirt. In other words, you
get a fifteen T shirt four nine dollars.
41
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.319
You get a six dollars discount by
doing that. I love to find
42
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.120
ways to save my listeners some money, but I really appreciate those who give
43
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.800
back in any way you can monetary
if you have a few extra dollars in
44
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.879
your pocket. I know times are
tough. I get it. I understand.
45
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.240
For us content creators, we do
the best we can to entertain,
46
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.560
educate, and edify, and that's
what we do over here at the Blockhead
47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.639
Nation and the wifeb Network and to
expound a little bit on Father's Day.
48
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.919
Some of you might listen on that
particular day. I'm not sure. Hopefully
49
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.919
you're sitting back in your favorite recliner, or you're sitting back in your favorite
50
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.039
lawn chair, or you're sitting back
with your beverage a choice. You're not
51
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.879
having to do the barbecue that somebody
can stip aside and let you do that
52
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.439
now. I don't want to say
a chance, but there's not a lot
53
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.280
of Father's Day references in the Peanuts
if I'm going to cover that, and
54
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.639
remember number one, Peanuts is the
single most successful comic strip in American history.
55
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.160
That's why I talk about on part
one. And the truth is Father's
56
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.079
Day is only referenced a few times. It's really just talked about with Charlie
57
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.120
Brown's father's profession. He mentions many
times that his dad is a barber.
58
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.439
And you can tell that Charlie Brown
doesn't really have the skill to go replace
59
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.040
his dad at the barber's chair one
because he doesn't have that much hair to
60
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.720
cut. And look how well he
does with a kite or with a costume
61
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.560
for Halloween. You've seen his ghost
costume. I assume that so there's really
62
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.920
a lot of references to Father's Day. But somebody who did that I can
63
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.879
identify with, and a lot of
you men out there can identify with,
64
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.240
was the Cosby Show. Now I
know the second that I say that,
65
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.079
we are red flags going off.
You're talking about Cosby. I'm really talking
66
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.120
more about mister Huxtable. Okay,
I'm talking more about Cliff If you look
67
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.920
at the character, the point was
made. And I share this YouTube clip
68
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.560
every Father's Day on my social media
that Father's Day is an afterthought in so
69
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.879
many ways, and really that doesn't
bother me. I hope it doesn't bother
70
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.079
you either. It's kind of like
an ongoing joke that we kill ourselves.
71
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.560
We break, sweat, and we
toil, and we care for our mothers
72
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.279
on Mother's Day because we want to, because they've done so much throughout the
73
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.360
year of taking care of the kids
and doing all the other odd jobs that
74
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.759
we don't want to do, all
the things that are emasculating to us.
75
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.879
They take care of throughout the year, and we get to say, hey,
76
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.600
step out of the kitchen and we'll
take care of the meals, we'll
77
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.319
take care of the cleaning, we'll
take care of everything on Mother's Day.
78
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.480
This is your day, and we
kill ourselves on that day. You ladies
79
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.480
know how to promote yourselves if you
listen to the show and you're a female.
80
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.920
But us men, what do they
say? I think it was even
81
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.199
in the show Recess through Disney,
ties are for Father's Day. I think
82
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.800
that was a quote that was said. And in this scene from Cosby,
83
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.480
he pulls out all of these gifts
that he gets, ties that don't match
84
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.600
any of his suits, cologns,
he's never worn the soap on the rope
85
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.879
that he doesn't know how to use, because if you try to wash your
86
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.439
feet, good luck doing that standing
in the shower, among other things and
87
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.000
things that some child game that were
suspenders that light up, and you know,
88
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.240
he goes down to make a point
to the kids that he goes down
89
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.360
looking like Times Square. But his
point is I want to talk to all
90
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:38.279
you about Father's Day while he wears
these this ridiculous ensemble and they keep making
91
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.480
their points, like one of them
said, hey, hey, last year
92
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.279
we went in with mom and got
you that walkman, and he says,
93
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.399
yeah, and I enjoyed watching my
walkman all year, walk around with all
94
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.639
of you, and I never get
an opportunity to listen to it, so
95
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:58.680
consider getting something for me. And
then the youngest pulls the trump card that
96
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.040
none of us can heat with.
The youngest girl looks at him with the
97
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.879
sweetest look on her face and says, but we gave you lots of hugs
98
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:15.879
and kisses. Your heart melts like
butter. You start to stutter over your
99
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:21.560
words. You've got nothing, men. So my encouragement to you, if
100
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.720
you're listening to this guy's is enjoy
Father's Day for what it is. If
101
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.439
they say, hey, give me
a dollar, I'll go buy you a
102
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.680
pack of cigarettes and they happen to
smoke half of the pack coming home,
103
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.279
that's another Bill Cosby reference, and
it's not even your brain. I don't
104
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.519
know how you're gonna celebrate. I'll
you get a chance to relax. I
105
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.720
know, for our men at our
church, we're gonna get to go over
106
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.800
to gorge on some fantastic food tomorrow. And then you know, that's it.
107
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.680
There's not a whole lot that you
have to do to please mister Blockhead
108
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.920
himself. Mister YFP, you really
don't. But Father's Day is kind of
109
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.240
a fun thing to carry on.
But Charlie Brown had mentioned his dad as
110
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.920
being a bar and having those particular
skills, and Charles Schultz had seen his
111
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.959
dad hone a barbershop for years before
he became a cartoonist. That's the most
112
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.480
he gets carried on into the comic
because this is not a realm for adults,
113
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.839
unless we're talking about This is America. Charge around the History series,
114
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.879
you don't see a lot of adults, or you rarely do, because this
115
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.399
is a kid zone. This is
an adult free environment where they get to
116
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.040
just be kids. But there are
some subtle hints given to adults throughout the
117
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.799
comic strip and the TV series in
the movie that are so true to their
118
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.159
time. But I've always thought a
little bit about Linus. I thought about
119
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.519
Linus and his dad. I don't
know. You'll never really know where the
120
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.799
crabbiness of Lucy came from, whether
it was the father or the mother,
121
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.679
We don't know. You'll never know
where the death of intelligence, the intellectual
122
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.799
that Linus appears to be, whether
that came from the mother or the father,
123
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.000
We don't know what Acorn fell from
what. But what always found it
124
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.559
interesting to me is that not only
did he have strong intellect, he had
125
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.279
strong faith, like I mentioned on
this show. Truthfully, it's not number
126
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.200
one being Peanuts. The most successful
comic strip. Number one is God is
127
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:20.200
King, and Peanuts always found a
way to include parable if you look for
128
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.320
it. So let's take a look
at a famous comic strip which played into
129
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:30.159
a TV series. It became the
opening to a boy named Charlie Brown,
130
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.039
but originally it was a comic strip. That's always been the truth. Any
131
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.080
TV special you look at, comic
strips will be almost word for word in
132
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:45.279
the TV specials. And there's a
part where they're laying on a hillside.
133
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.639
It's Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus, and you have Lucy asking what the
134
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.279
guys see in the clouds, and
Linus goes through this long spill about the
135
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.039
Caribbean and about a famous painter and
s sculptor. But when he gets to
136
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.120
another group of clouds, this is
where the parable comes in. I've always
137
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.120
wondered could that come from the father
of the Mother. I'm not really sure
138
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.399
where Charles Schultz would slide this into
the narrative, but there's a part where
139
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:20.000
Linus says that group of clouds looks
like the stoning of Stephen, the first
140
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.639
Christian martyr, and then he elaborates. He says, I can see the
141
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.240
Apostle Paul standing there to one side. Lucy's gonna go okay, that look
142
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.200
that sounds good. I'll take that. What about you, Charlie Brown,
143
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.559
And of course Charlie Brown thinks from
Manton goes well, I was gonna say
144
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.240
that I saw a ducky in a
horsey, but I changed my mind.
145
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.200
He just wanted to change his answer
right away, because you can't compete with
146
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.639
Linus's depiction of what he sees in
the clouds. But you'll never really know
147
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.039
where that came from. In the
adult world, you just have to go
148
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.840
along with who the kids are.
And I will say one more thing before
149
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.039
I wrap up and go to part
two. The Little Red Haired Girl has
150
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:05.240
never been a fan of one of
the metamorphosis of snooping one of them she
151
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.759
always felt came across as arrogant.
Well, I'm gonna lay that to rest
152
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:16.039
now I'm talking about Joe cool Snoopy
has played the World War One Flying Ace,
153
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.320
he has played the Mass Marvel.
He's played many other parts throughout the
154
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.639
series. Throughout the comic strip,
but something about Joe Cool just didn't sit
155
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.720
well with her. And I kind
of understand that a guy who hangs around
156
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.000
the water fountain plays a cool,
plays a fool trying to pressing up against
157
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.159
the wall. I can understand that, but not anymore. I missed this
158
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.039
over years and years. There was
a special series in two thousand when Charles
159
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.279
Shoves passed away, given all the
paraise back to him. And what they
160
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:56.000
did is they would take celebrities,
especially famous musicians, and they would introduce
161
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.600
characters or part of the story.
Like I mentioned this in the past on
162
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.480
how there was a phrase that Charlie
Brown wanted to be referred to as poor
163
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.240
sweet bathing. Well, he was
told that would never happen. Well it
164
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.399
did. In this series, Faith
Hill came out and sang this song poor
165
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:16.440
sweet Baby to him. I mean
us growing up in the early two thousands,
166
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.320
who wouldn't want Faith Hill to be
singing to you? One on one,
167
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.320
Charlie Brown got that, But then
in comes Joe Cool. And this
168
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.440
is where I have trumped everything that
the little red haired girl said. I'm
169
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.399
not putting her on blasts. I'm
just saying you cannot anymore tell me that
170
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.200
Joe Cool is not important and doesn't
deserve some respect. And it's because the
171
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:43.320
song Joe Cool in this series is
played by a famous guitar and guitarist.
172
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.919
The guitar's name is Lucille the Guitarist. I hope you guessed it by now,
173
00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:01.360
the King of Blues himself, mister
BB King BB King on Lucille Plane
174
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:09.320
Joe Cool. You tell me any
other comic strip character that was given the
175
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.360
honor of being played by the greatest
blues hands of all time. There's even
176
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.159
a movement on the guitar to this
day that's called the beaty box. It's
177
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.159
reserved only for learning the style of
BB King. The thrill is gone,
178
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:33.440
but the legacy lived on through Joe
Cool in two thousand. So don't tell
179
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.840
me that Joe Cool doesn't deserve a
nod of respect, even on Father's Day.
180
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.679
So you father's enjoy your Father's Day
weekend. I hope that you have
181
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.320
a chance to relax. I hope
you're enjoying the podcast. I hope down
182
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.320
the road I can get some more
listeners support on this podcast because we're really
183
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.960
starting to grow. But hey,
it's not gonna happen without you. So
184
00:13:54.080 --> 00:14:00.879
thank you for all the support.
Never ever again give Joe Cool the stink
185
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.559
eye. You should give him some
admiration and a bow of respect, knowing
186
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.720
that Lucille and bb King played in
the background for this particular character a metamorphosis
187

198
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.600
You'll find that in the blog the
notes for today's show. Let's get
199
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:24.720
back to the episode. Our scripture
reading for this podcast comes from Isaiah,
200
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:31.519
chapter forty five, verse nineteen through
twenty. I did not speak in secret
201
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.919
in a land of darkness. I
did not speak to the offspring of Jacob.
202
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.399
Seek me in vain. I the
Lord speak the truth. I declare
203
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:48.039
what is right. Assemble yourselves and
come drawn near together, you survivors of
204
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.960
the nations they have no knowledge,
who carry about their wooden idols and keep
205
00:15:52.000 --> 00:16:02.120
on praying to a God that cannot
saves us. Once said, idols always
206
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:07.559
break the hearts of their worshipers.
I prayed to you, guys, even
207
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:15.600
though you're enjoying Father's Day, that
no other idols will choke and encapsulate your
208
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:21.600
life. Place the True Father in
place of anything that has pulled you away
209
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.840
from him. Time after time,
Old Testament and New Testament alike, we
210
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:30.039
have seen what happens when the nation's
move away from the true Living God.
211
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.000
And I'm going to get into some
truth now when it comes to Mma.
212
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.639
I was not gonna I put down
a few bullet points every week. It's
213
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.879
very hard for me to cover every
piece of news that's going on in the
214
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.320
world of UFC. Belator just had
an event. PFL just had an event
215
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.960
one Championship and some of the other
local levels that I try to follow and
216
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.440
do my best to give you guys
updates. I really try to stick with
217
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.639
a few bullet points that I put
up every week, but I had to
218
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.960
stop last night. I even mentioned
to a few view that I'm coming in
219
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.440
hot on this one on the back
of last week's pay per view that was
220
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:11.960
in Vancouver, Canada. The Canadian
fighters who were easily at about five out
221
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.480
of zero. In other words,
they had a really good batting average.
222
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.720
I'm winning most of their fights in
front of their home crowd. That tends
223
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.599
to be expected. If you go
to the UK, the UK fighters tend
224
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.839
to do very well. I believe
there is something to home cage advantage.
225
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.599
If you go to Abu Dhabi,
you're probably going to see the Russian fighters
226
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.599
dominate very well. Okay, but
something really got me upset the other day,
227
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.720
and I mentioned this to anybody who
tunes in. If you are a
228
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:45.839
UFC fan and you use that in
the form of tweeting or social media or
229
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.519
something of that nature to attack an
athlete after they have lost, I'm saying
230
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:57.119
that you fans discussed me I'm just
like you. I'm a fan that has
231
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.960
to cough up pain. I happen
to go to Loud to p and a
232
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.240
It's mansion quite often to watch the
pay per view fights because us bundling together
233
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.160
can get to pay per view and
we can actually watch it. And you
234
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.519
know, I have more to talk
about when it's time for pay per view.
235
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.200
But what really got me upset was
two days later after this event happened,
236
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.039
we'd had a fight with a Canadian
fighter and the number fifteen ranked female
237
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.480
fighter in the world, Miranda Maverick. Miranda loses her fight. Two days
238
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.519
later, you have her coming out
with a statement where she has said that
239
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:36.359
I have gotten so many and I
quote, I've gotten so many death threats
240
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:41.839
and so many messages to commit suicide, just to kill myself. I never
241
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.839
realized that would get so many.
Just because I have a blue check next
242
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.039
to my name means that I'm invincible
to these things. Now, she shouldn't
243
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.200
have to apologize for the trolls that
are coming onto her page. Now,
244
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.079
if you're just a troll, that's
gonna be very hard to diminish in any
245
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.000
sport. But if you are listening
into this show, right now, and
246
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.799
you have the nerve to go after
a professional athlete, one that most of
247
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.319
the world doesn't even know, who
is fighting to put food on the table
248
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.960
for their families, or for themselves, or just a better tomorrow. They
249
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.440
win, whether you just want to
inflict the wound deeper, or whether you
250
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.279
didn't have your parlay, or however
it works on draft Kings, whatever however
251
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.079
that worked out. I'm talking to
you straight up, and I'm not kidding.
252
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.720
If you are one of those people, you are banned from this podcast.
253
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.000
I don't want to hear from you. Don't you dare comment on my
254
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.799
show in any way, because I
will give you a dress down like you've
255
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:44.480
never seen before. I may give
my opinions on the fighters on what direction
256
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.359
they might go, but I will
never ever stoop to the low that these
257
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:56.519
fans or disrespectful group of marks,
or whoever these disgusting human beings are that
258
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:03.480
are flooding Mirandom Mavericks Twitter with so
much hateful rhetoric. I will never stoop
259
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.880
that low. You're not allowed over
here. You're banned, and I'll find
260
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.400
a way to block you. I'll
find a way to report you anyway that
261
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.480
I can and I know she's having
to do that, and she's said that
262
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:17.440
she has to comb through that and
see the ones that actually do care about
263
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:23.119
her. So she lost. She
loses to a Canadian favorite. Most of
264
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.960
the Canadian fighters came out on top
that night. It does go into a
265
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.000
decision. It wasn't like she was
totally dominated in every way, just very
266
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.400
much in the eyes of the judges. She gets the loss. But this
267
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.119
is very hard for me to defend
UFC fighters or some of the greatest people
268
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.759
in the world. You had a
promoter named Malki Kawai who has asked the
269
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.519
question, if you had a chance
to promote NFL fighters or NFL players or
270
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.759
MMA fighters, who would you take. I would take the MMA guys.
271
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.440
Why Because they're more genuine, because
they're better people. The people that stip
272
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:03.640
in the cage, who are Hillers
stand across from you. They're athletes,
273
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.920
they're human beings. So I stand
with the mirandom Maverick. She can just
274
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.440
dust herself off and pick herself up
and we'll see her down the road another
275
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.519
day. She may not be ranking
number fifteen anymore, but she doesn't deserve
276
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:22.039
the type of rhetoric coming out of
these hateful comments, and I stand by
277
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.880
that. I don't want to hear
your opinion. If you are a person
278
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.119
who says that they are getting death
threats or saying this person should commit suicide,
279
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.400
you are the lowest form of society. And it embarrasses me and an
280
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.160
MMA fan that I have to defend
Mirandom Maverick. She doesn't need me to
281
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.240
defend her, but I'm defending her
and jumping to her side. Anyway.
282
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:48.680
You have no right to talk to
anybody that way, much less somebody who
283
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.720
put on a performance for you.
I don't want to hear it. So
284
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.359
that's what happened is I'm taking a
minute just to show that you f C
285
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.319
fans discuss me Mirandom Maverick does not
all these other fighters who are doing their
286
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.240
part, who are putting on a
show, who are chasing a dream,
287
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.599
taking an opportunity that Dana White gave
them, which is about it, which
288
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.519
is an opportunity, or Scott Coker
or anybody else in between. I don't
289
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.359
want to hear it. You're not
welcome over here on this show if you
290
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.839
are that hateful to Mirandom Maverick or
anybody else for that matter. Now,
291
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.039
if you are a person that says, hey, that was a that was
292
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.559
a tough fall. She'll come back. We got something to talk about.
293
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.200
So that's as far as I'll go
on the Mirandom Maverick topic, because she
294
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.240
shouldn't be going through that in the
first place. She has an l Now,
295
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.359
okay, she'll go back to the
gym, she'll train, she'll get
296
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.200
back in the cage. Just what
happens. Either have your win or your
297
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.680
loss. Don't come to me and
tell me that you can come and have
298
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.200
an opinion on this show if that's
the kind of human being that you are.
299
00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.880
Now moving on to, where do
we have a discussion with Oliverah and
300
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:06.839
Islam. I'm jumping straight into the
lightweights. Charles Olivera made easy work out
301
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.200
of Vanille del Rouge. Actually he
didn't. He defeated him in the first
302
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:15.200
round. Benny was actually doing pretty
good, but once that Oliverah engine got
303
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:22.720
ribbed up, Olivera just annihilates him. So we've got a number one contender,
304
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.960
and there's no doubt anymore that Oliverah
is the number one contender against Islam
305
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:33.640
Makachev. Now we've got another discussion
about the BMF title. You got Pooria
306
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:40.359
versus Justin Gaiche Islam is saying,
I don't want to hear about those guys.
307
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.960
In other words, olivera has claimed
and has shown that he's the number
308
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.920
one contender for the light Heavyweight Championship
of the World. The BMF title,
309
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:53.640
on paper, is a UFC title
that will get these guys more money.
310
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.799
I'm happy for Dustin Poorier. I'm
glad that he's the guy that's beaten KR
311
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.519
McGregor twice and he can baptize anybody
in the name of his hot sauce.
312
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.400
That's wonderful. Justin Gachi has gained
more bonus checks for his performances in the
313
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:14.720
UFC, probably than anybody in recent
history. It's an excellent fight that you
314
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.480
don't need the strap four, but
it's gonna happen regardless. And what diminishes
315
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.720
it is what Nate Diaz had to
say. So I'm switching from being very
316
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.160
serious about the disgusting comments made about
Mirandom Maverick, and now I'm switching to
317
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:34.799
a guy named Nate Diaz who diminishes
the significance of the built in the BMF
318
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:40.400
title even more. This is an
idea those concocted out of his own mind,
319
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.559
and Nate Diaz says this again every
time. I don't know if this
320
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.039
is me being a mark, or
if this is me just being an all
321
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:51.039
out fan, or if I'm watching
a wreck on the highway and I can't
322
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:56.279
look away. I can't look away. When Nate Diaz speaks. Nate Diaz
323
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:02.240
says that they the guys they are
fighting for the BMF title, Dustin More
324
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.680
and Justin Gaiche as good as they
are. Nate did says that they don't
325
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:15.079
meet the criteria and they ask him
why, and Nate says, well,
326
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:22.160
because they're dorks. Two of the
most dangerous lightweights in the history of the
327
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:30.519
UFC have now been shot down.
But Nate Didz and I don't have a
328
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:37.519
comeback for this one. I have
no way to even bring that back and
329
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.279
you know, be able to blow
on the coals and try to get a
330
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:45.400
little bit of extra firepower out of
this. The BMF title will get them
331
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.519
more money and more pay per view
points, but it doesn't guarantee that they
332
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.319
will be a number one contender,
as Ali Vera has clearly shown that he's
333
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:59.640
the number one contender. That's who
Islam needs to be fighting. But even
334
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.880
Nate DS has diminished how important it
is these two got. Now, if
335
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.880
you look at Justin Gaiche when he
puts glasses on, he definitely looks like
336
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.920
a like a nerd who gets into
comics. I'm sorry, but this is
337
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.079
a guy who would destroy anybody walking
down the street. Dustin Pori is such
338
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.720
a nice guy who's given to so
many projects, and now he's able to
339
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:26.400
get the hot sauce that is sponsoring
the UFC, and now it's the BMF
340
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:34.000
is diminished just because Nate Das has
claimed at their dors I can't go any
341
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.759
further than that, except we'll see
how this plays out. Rightfully, so
342
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:44.920
Olivera's number one contender against Islam Makachev
for the title, but with the BMF
343
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.839
being defended in late July, we'll
see how that plays out. Now to
344
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.920
the main event of two eighty nine, Nunaz versus Eldonham, I stam corrected.
345
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:59.319
I mentioned that lightning could strike twice
in the octagon. I knew that
346
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:04.000
Mexico was coming in with a lot
of momentum, but ran behind Aldonna.
347
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.720
Well, you can't do that.
If y'all you're gonna do a shadow box
348
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.119
an entire time for four rounds and
then when the not self proclaimed but the
349
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.039
goat herself comes in and rides out
her time on top of you like a
350
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:21.559
human blanket while you take guard,
and she's working the upper position, looking
351
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.880
for elbows to throw and trying to
you know, just right out the time,
352
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.960
you can't do it. Aldonna just
didn't come in and give the performance
353
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.759
that she needed to give. She
didn't take any reckless moves, but she
354
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.279
just when she had to go for
it, she didn't go for it.
355
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:42.720
She ended up on her back for
the final fifth round, and Nunez retires
356
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:51.599
as the proclaimed grayst MMA female fighter
of all time. The only one trying
357
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.440
to blow oxygen on this fire that's
going out happens to be Julian Opinion,
358
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.119
who's sitting there at cage side,
and I get I can get more into
359
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.759
that as this builds up even more, she's trying to keep the rivalry alive,
360
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.839
while in Unez is already leaving and
say, Induces, I'll see you
361
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.440
guys as I go spend time in
my family because my mother doesn't want to
362
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.000
see me do this anymore, and
my family doesn't want I'm sorry, it's
363
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:19.519
kind of hard to come back from
that, Kabib stepped away because his father's
364
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.519
passed away and his mother doesn't want
him doing the sport anymore. No more
365
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:29.119
discussion. If it goes against your
faith or if it goes against your mother,
366
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.920
you're not going to sell somebody on
why they should continue down a certain
367
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.119
road. Kabib didn't do it,
and now I'm in in. Unez is
368
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.519
being told by her family, we
don't want you go on this route anymore.
369
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.480
What more do you have to prove? And the only one that she
370
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:49.119
could possibly have to prove something to
is Julian Opinion, who is desperately trying
371
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.480
to keep that alive. We'll see
how that plays out, if that's enough
372
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:59.880
firepower to shoot her in the leg
and for Nunez to turn around. Well
373
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.119
as that plays out, But tonight's
Fight Night, two main key points I
374
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:08.519
want to make is the co main
event and the main event, and really
375
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.559
on the comin event. The only
one Wan to talk about is one of
376
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.000
my favorite fighters, Armants Rukion.
I'll tie it into the fight night or
377
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:22.160
what I think. Marvin Vttori and
Jared cannoneer great contenders. Neither one of
378
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.720
them have been able to dethrone Israel
Outasania. So now they're working their way
379
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:32.680
up into another contendership, and that's
about all they can do in this weight
380
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.720
class as long as izz he's holding
the title. So Vatore versus Cannoneer,
381
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.799
I honestly believe that Jared Cannoneer has
proven to probably be the strongest of the
382
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:51.119
two bowls, and I believe his
elbows are something to be feared. Now.
383
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:56.519
Is there a difference between a strong
elbow and a slicing elbow? I
384
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.680
believe there is if you watch.
Let's just look at slicing elbow for a
385
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.200
second. The history of the slicing
elbow has usually been the lower, smaller
386
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:08.799
guys. It's been the flyweights,
has been the bantam weights, it's been
387
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.200
the featherweights, it's been the lightweight
It's been the smaller guys. If we
388
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:17.839
go back as far as Kenny Florian, he was known for the slicing elbow
389
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.240
that would catch you over the eye
and you would have a doctor stoppage because
390
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:29.119
you can't continue anymore. Armandsourukion the
comanment tonight has a slicing elbow. I
391
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:34.240
would be nervous for his opponent on
how if he gets dangerously close and applies
392
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:38.720
the pressure or gets into the clinch, that ar montsoer Rukion could throw that
393
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:44.200
slicing elbow and it can be over
or at least it wouldn't. It would
394
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.640
spell trouble for the rest of the
fight as they're trying to clear blood out
395
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.359
of the opponent's eyes. That's what
armnso Errukio and Serrukion has in his toolbox.
396
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.480
What Jared Cannoneer has in his toolbox, as we saw with Derek Brunson,
397
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.279
is those strong elbows, the elbows
that will wobble you. As he
398
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.920
got Brunson on his back, he
started throwing those short elbows and started bouncing
399
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.720
Derek Brunson's head off of the canvas
and you had to stop it by the
400
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.839
referee. I think you're gonna have
a story tonight with a comin event.
401
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:22.119
You have slicing elbows and you have
very strong elbows from Janet Jared Cannoneer main
402
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.640
event. This is what I can
foresee happening with tonight's fight night. So
403
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.960
I thank you for a chance to
listen ton on the show. I have
404
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.359
three weeks I'm gonna take for a
vacation. I look forward to getting back
405
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.359
with you a long time down the
road. We will see you guys at
406
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.559
some point in July. Not so
much same blockhead time, but same blockhead
407
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.599
nation. But we'll see you in
three weeks. If you would play us
408
00:31:45.640 --> 00:32:07.839
out, prestonp.
1
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:45.159
Broadcasting Live good evening. Blockhead Nation, thank you for stopping by once again
2
00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:50.799
before we take a three week break. You are listening to your favorite Blockhead,
3
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:56.119
the only podcast in the podcasting world
that can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic
4
00:00:56.159 --> 00:01:00.039
strip one minute and then be talking
about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the
5
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.120
next. I am your host.
My name is Brian Little. And when
6
00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:07.079
I say I have to take a
three week break, it's not because I
7
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:10.799
choose to step away from the microphone. I just wanted to let the Blockhead
8
00:01:10.799 --> 00:01:15.319
and Nation know ahead of time that
I will be making my way out to
9
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:19.879
West Texas and I'll be spending some
time with Senora Blockhead, who will be
10
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.760
recovering from a knee replacement surgery.
So therefore I have to put the podcast
11
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.519
on a break. That's all it
is. Don't think I don't look forward
12
00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:30.840
to every week getting on the microphone
and talking to you. I really I
13
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.920
know that when I get back on
this that I will be super anxious.
14
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.760
I'll be itching to hit the record
button again. So I just want to
15
00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:42.760
make sure that the listeners are aware
why I'm about to take a three week
16
00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:45.920
break, and I'll get back to
you as soon as I can. Second
17
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.519
of all, this is a listener
supported podcast. Any of us that are
18
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.719
don't have huge fan followings, that
are in the trenches putting out content weekly
19
00:01:55.879 --> 00:02:00.519
or monthly, or whatever the case
is for you, we do have ways
20
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:02.120
that you can support us, and
I haven't really done a good job of
21
00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:06.280
supporting that. I've always said go
to the blog, which is the easiest
22
00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:08.080
way, but I'll point you to
some things in the blog. If your
23
00:02:08.080 --> 00:02:14.360
favorite blockhead dot com slash blog,
you'll see every episode I've been doing from
24
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.400
the beginning to twenty to two hundred
and ninety plus. That's about where we
25
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.400
are. We're close to three hundred. There's some links for some merchandise.
26
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:25.960
If you want to get a kouzie
for your soda or for your adult beverage
27
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:30.479
of choice this summer or for Father's
Day, there are couzies that are available.
28
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.960
If you want to get yourself a
shirt. I have a friend of
29
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.240
the Blockhead Nation who have put up
on Facebook and Instagram to support the show
30
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.680
that he is wearing the merchandise.
You can get us T shirts at fifteen
31
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:46.080
dollars a pot. But if you
want to get a discount on that.
32
00:02:46.360 --> 00:02:49.319
The best way to do it is
the koffee page. Here's how it works.
33
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.120
If you go to the blog and
look for the koffee page, that's
34
00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:55.840
my donation tip. Jar consider it
kind of like a gofund me four podcasters.
35
00:02:55.879 --> 00:02:59.800
But here's how it works. If
you feel my show is worth it,
36
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:01.639
you give me a cup of coffee
or as it says, a root
37
00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:05.680
beer. You'll get a shout out
on the podcast as soon as I come
38
00:03:05.719 --> 00:03:09.280
back on the microphone. If you
give up to three cups of coffee three
39
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:15.159
root beers, which will amount to
nine dollars, you will get a T
40
00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.599
shirt. In other words, you
get a fifteen T shirt four nine dollars.
41
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.319
You get a six dollars discount by
doing that. I love to find
42
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:27.120
ways to save my listeners some money, but I really appreciate those who give
43
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.800
back in any way you can monetary
if you have a few extra dollars in
44
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:31.879
your pocket. I know times are
tough. I get it. I understand.
45
00:03:32.599 --> 00:03:36.240
For us content creators, we do
the best we can to entertain,
46
00:03:36.439 --> 00:03:38.560
educate, and edify, and that's
what we do over here at the Blockhead
47
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.639
Nation and the wifeb Network and to
expound a little bit on Father's Day.
48
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:46.919
Some of you might listen on that
particular day. I'm not sure. Hopefully
49
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.919
you're sitting back in your favorite recliner, or you're sitting back in your favorite
50
00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.039
lawn chair, or you're sitting back
with your beverage a choice. You're not
51
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:57.879
having to do the barbecue that somebody
can stip aside and let you do that
52
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:01.439
now. I don't want to say
a chance, but there's not a lot
53
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.280
of Father's Day references in the Peanuts
if I'm going to cover that, and
54
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:10.639
remember number one, Peanuts is the
single most successful comic strip in American history.
55
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:15.160
That's why I talk about on part
one. And the truth is Father's
56
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:19.079
Day is only referenced a few times. It's really just talked about with Charlie
57
00:04:19.079 --> 00:04:25.120
Brown's father's profession. He mentions many
times that his dad is a barber.
58
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:30.439
And you can tell that Charlie Brown
doesn't really have the skill to go replace
59
00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:34.040
his dad at the barber's chair one
because he doesn't have that much hair to
60
00:04:34.079 --> 00:04:38.720
cut. And look how well he
does with a kite or with a costume
61
00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:43.560
for Halloween. You've seen his ghost
costume. I assume that so there's really
62
00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.920
a lot of references to Father's Day. But somebody who did that I can
63
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.879
identify with, and a lot of
you men out there can identify with,
64
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.240
was the Cosby Show. Now I
know the second that I say that,
65
00:04:55.319 --> 00:04:59.079
we are red flags going off.
You're talking about Cosby. I'm really talking
66
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:03.120
more about mister Huxtable. Okay,
I'm talking more about Cliff If you look
67
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:08.920
at the character, the point was
made. And I share this YouTube clip
68
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:15.560
every Father's Day on my social media
that Father's Day is an afterthought in so
69
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.879
many ways, and really that doesn't
bother me. I hope it doesn't bother
70
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:24.079
you either. It's kind of like
an ongoing joke that we kill ourselves.
71
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:28.560
We break, sweat, and we
toil, and we care for our mothers
72
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.279
on Mother's Day because we want to, because they've done so much throughout the
73
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:34.360
year of taking care of the kids
and doing all the other odd jobs that
74
00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:38.759
we don't want to do, all
the things that are emasculating to us.
75
00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:41.879
They take care of throughout the year, and we get to say, hey,
76
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:45.600
step out of the kitchen and we'll
take care of the meals, we'll
77
00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.319
take care of the cleaning, we'll
take care of everything on Mother's Day.
78
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.480
This is your day, and we
kill ourselves on that day. You ladies
79
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.480
know how to promote yourselves if you
listen to the show and you're a female.
80
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:58.920
But us men, what do they
say? I think it was even
81
00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:02.199
in the show Recess through Disney,
ties are for Father's Day. I think
82
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.800
that was a quote that was said. And in this scene from Cosby,
83
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:11.480
he pulls out all of these gifts
that he gets, ties that don't match
84
00:06:11.480 --> 00:06:15.600
any of his suits, cologns,
he's never worn the soap on the rope
85
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:16.879
that he doesn't know how to use, because if you try to wash your
86
00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.439
feet, good luck doing that standing
in the shower, among other things and
87
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:26.000
things that some child game that were
suspenders that light up, and you know,
88
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.240
he goes down to make a point
to the kids that he goes down
89
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.360
looking like Times Square. But his
point is I want to talk to all
90
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:38.279
you about Father's Day while he wears
these this ridiculous ensemble and they keep making
91
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:40.480
their points, like one of them
said, hey, hey, last year
92
00:06:40.519 --> 00:06:43.279
we went in with mom and got
you that walkman, and he says,
93
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:47.399
yeah, and I enjoyed watching my
walkman all year, walk around with all
94
00:06:47.439 --> 00:06:50.639
of you, and I never get
an opportunity to listen to it, so
95
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:58.680
consider getting something for me. And
then the youngest pulls the trump card that
96
00:06:58.839 --> 00:07:02.040
none of us can heat with.
The youngest girl looks at him with the
97
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.879
sweetest look on her face and says, but we gave you lots of hugs
98
00:07:06.879 --> 00:07:15.879
and kisses. Your heart melts like
butter. You start to stutter over your
99
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:21.560
words. You've got nothing, men. So my encouragement to you, if
100
00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:26.720
you're listening to this guy's is enjoy
Father's Day for what it is. If
101
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:30.439
they say, hey, give me
a dollar, I'll go buy you a
102
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.680
pack of cigarettes and they happen to
smoke half of the pack coming home,
103
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:36.279
that's another Bill Cosby reference, and
it's not even your brain. I don't
104
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.519
know how you're gonna celebrate. I'll
you get a chance to relax. I
105
00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:43.720
know, for our men at our
church, we're gonna get to go over
106
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.800
to gorge on some fantastic food tomorrow. And then you know, that's it.
107
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.680
There's not a whole lot that you
have to do to please mister Blockhead
108
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:54.920
himself. Mister YFP, you really
don't. But Father's Day is kind of
109
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:59.240
a fun thing to carry on.
But Charlie Brown had mentioned his dad as
110
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:03.920
being a bar and having those particular
skills, and Charles Schultz had seen his
111
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:07.959
dad hone a barbershop for years before
he became a cartoonist. That's the most
112
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:13.480
he gets carried on into the comic
because this is not a realm for adults,
113
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.839
unless we're talking about This is America. Charge around the History series,
114
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.879
you don't see a lot of adults, or you rarely do, because this
115
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.399
is a kid zone. This is
an adult free environment where they get to
116
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:31.040
just be kids. But there are
some subtle hints given to adults throughout the
117
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.799
comic strip and the TV series in
the movie that are so true to their
118
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:39.159
time. But I've always thought a
little bit about Linus. I thought about
119
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.519
Linus and his dad. I don't
know. You'll never really know where the
120
00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.799
crabbiness of Lucy came from, whether
it was the father or the mother,
121
00:08:46.879 --> 00:08:52.679
We don't know. You'll never know
where the death of intelligence, the intellectual
122
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:56.799
that Linus appears to be, whether
that came from the mother or the father,
123
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:01.000
We don't know what Acorn fell from
what. But what always found it
124
00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.559
interesting to me is that not only
did he have strong intellect, he had
125
00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:09.279
strong faith, like I mentioned on
this show. Truthfully, it's not number
126
00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:13.200
one being Peanuts. The most successful
comic strip. Number one is God is
127
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:20.200
King, and Peanuts always found a
way to include parable if you look for
128
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.320
it. So let's take a look
at a famous comic strip which played into
129
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:30.159
a TV series. It became the
opening to a boy named Charlie Brown,
130
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:33.039
but originally it was a comic strip. That's always been the truth. Any
131
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:39.080
TV special you look at, comic
strips will be almost word for word in
132
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:45.279
the TV specials. And there's a
part where they're laying on a hillside.
133
00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:50.639
It's Charlie Brown, Lucy and Linus, and you have Lucy asking what the
134
00:09:50.720 --> 00:09:56.279
guys see in the clouds, and
Linus goes through this long spill about the
135
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:01.039
Caribbean and about a famous painter and
s sculptor. But when he gets to
136
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.120
another group of clouds, this is
where the parable comes in. I've always
137
00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.120
wondered could that come from the father
of the Mother. I'm not really sure
138
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.399
where Charles Schultz would slide this into
the narrative, but there's a part where
139
00:10:13.480 --> 00:10:20.000
Linus says that group of clouds looks
like the stoning of Stephen, the first
140
00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:24.639
Christian martyr, and then he elaborates. He says, I can see the
141
00:10:24.679 --> 00:10:28.240
Apostle Paul standing there to one side. Lucy's gonna go okay, that look
142
00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:31.200
that sounds good. I'll take that. What about you, Charlie Brown,
143
00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:35.559
And of course Charlie Brown thinks from
Manton goes well, I was gonna say
144
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:39.240
that I saw a ducky in a
horsey, but I changed my mind.
145
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.200
He just wanted to change his answer
right away, because you can't compete with
146
00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:48.639
Linus's depiction of what he sees in
the clouds. But you'll never really know
147
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:52.039
where that came from. In the
adult world, you just have to go
148
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:54.840
along with who the kids are.
And I will say one more thing before
149
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:58.039
I wrap up and go to part
two. The Little Red Haired Girl has
150
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:05.240
never been a fan of one of
the metamorphosis of snooping one of them she
151
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:09.759
always felt came across as arrogant.
Well, I'm gonna lay that to rest
152
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:16.039
now I'm talking about Joe cool Snoopy
has played the World War One Flying Ace,
153
00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.320
he has played the Mass Marvel.
He's played many other parts throughout the
154
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.639
series. Throughout the comic strip,
but something about Joe Cool just didn't sit
155
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.720
well with her. And I kind
of understand that a guy who hangs around
156
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:33.000
the water fountain plays a cool,
plays a fool trying to pressing up against
157
00:11:33.039 --> 00:11:37.159
the wall. I can understand that, but not anymore. I missed this
158
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:43.039
over years and years. There was
a special series in two thousand when Charles
159
00:11:43.000 --> 00:11:48.279
Shoves passed away, given all the
paraise back to him. And what they
160
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:56.000
did is they would take celebrities,
especially famous musicians, and they would introduce
161
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.600
characters or part of the story.
Like I mentioned this in the past on
162
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:05.480
how there was a phrase that Charlie
Brown wanted to be referred to as poor
163
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.240
sweet bathing. Well, he was
told that would never happen. Well it
164
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:11.399
did. In this series, Faith
Hill came out and sang this song poor
165
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:16.440
sweet Baby to him. I mean
us growing up in the early two thousands,
166
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:20.320
who wouldn't want Faith Hill to be
singing to you? One on one,
167
00:12:20.440 --> 00:12:24.320
Charlie Brown got that, But then
in comes Joe Cool. And this
168
00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:28.440
is where I have trumped everything that
the little red haired girl said. I'm
169
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.399
not putting her on blasts. I'm
just saying you cannot anymore tell me that
170
00:12:31.480 --> 00:12:37.200
Joe Cool is not important and doesn't
deserve some respect. And it's because the
171
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:43.320
song Joe Cool in this series is
played by a famous guitar and guitarist.
172
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.919
The guitar's name is Lucille the Guitarist. I hope you guessed it by now,
173
00:12:52.000 --> 00:13:01.360
the King of Blues himself, mister
BB King BB King on Lucille Plane
174
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:09.320
Joe Cool. You tell me any
other comic strip character that was given the
175
00:13:09.679 --> 00:13:15.360
honor of being played by the greatest
blues hands of all time. There's even
176
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:20.159
a movement on the guitar to this
day that's called the beaty box. It's
177
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:26.159
reserved only for learning the style of
BB King. The thrill is gone,
178
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:33.440
but the legacy lived on through Joe
Cool in two thousand. So don't tell
179
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.840
me that Joe Cool doesn't deserve a
nod of respect, even on Father's Day.
180
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:41.679
So you father's enjoy your Father's Day
weekend. I hope that you have
181
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.320
a chance to relax. I hope
you're enjoying the podcast. I hope down
182
00:13:46.360 --> 00:13:48.320
the road I can get some more
listeners support on this podcast because we're really
183
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.960
starting to grow. But hey,
it's not gonna happen without you. So
184

thank you for all the support.
Never ever again give Joe Cool the stink
185
00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:05.559
eye. You should give him some
admiration and a bow of respect, knowing
186
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.720
that Lucille and bb King played in
the background for this particular character a metamorphosis

198
00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:09.600
You'll find that in the blog the
notes for today's show. Let's get
199
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:24.720
back to the episode. Our scripture
reading for this podcast comes from Isaiah,
200
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:31.519
chapter forty five, verse nineteen through
twenty. I did not speak in secret
201
00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:35.919
in a land of darkness. I
did not speak to the offspring of Jacob.
202
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:41.399
Seek me in vain. I the
Lord speak the truth. I declare
203
00:15:41.559 --> 00:15:48.039
what is right. Assemble yourselves and
come drawn near together, you survivors of
204
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.960
the nations they have no knowledge,
who carry about their wooden idols and keep
205
00:15:52.000 --> 00:16:02.120
on praying to a God that cannot
saves us. Once said, idols always
206
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:07.559
break the hearts of their worshipers.
I prayed to you, guys, even
207
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:15.600
though you're enjoying Father's Day, that
no other idols will choke and encapsulate your
208
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:21.600
life. Place the True Father in
place of anything that has pulled you away
209
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.840
from him. Time after time,
Old Testament and New Testament alike, we
210
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:30.039
have seen what happens when the nation's
move away from the true Living God.
211
00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:33.000
And I'm going to get into some
truth now when it comes to Mma.
212
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:37.639
I was not gonna I put down
a few bullet points every week. It's
213
00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.879
very hard for me to cover every
piece of news that's going on in the
214
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:45.320
world of UFC. Belator just had
an event. PFL just had an event
215
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.960
one Championship and some of the other
local levels that I try to follow and
216
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:52.440
do my best to give you guys
updates. I really try to stick with
217
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.639
a few bullet points that I put
up every week, but I had to
218
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:00.960
stop last night. I even mentioned
to a few view that I'm coming in
219
00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.440
hot on this one on the back
of last week's pay per view that was
220
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:11.960
in Vancouver, Canada. The Canadian
fighters who were easily at about five out
221
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.480
of zero. In other words,
they had a really good batting average.
222
00:17:15.519 --> 00:17:18.720
I'm winning most of their fights in
front of their home crowd. That tends
223
00:17:18.759 --> 00:17:22.599
to be expected. If you go
to the UK, the UK fighters tend
224
00:17:22.599 --> 00:17:25.839
to do very well. I believe
there is something to home cage advantage.
225
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:29.599
If you go to Abu Dhabi,
you're probably going to see the Russian fighters
226
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:34.599
dominate very well. Okay, but
something really got me upset the other day,
227
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.720
and I mentioned this to anybody who
tunes in. If you are a
228
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:45.839
UFC fan and you use that in
the form of tweeting or social media or
229
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:52.519
something of that nature to attack an
athlete after they have lost, I'm saying
230
00:17:52.559 --> 00:17:57.119
that you fans discussed me I'm just
like you. I'm a fan that has
231
00:17:57.160 --> 00:18:00.960
to cough up pain. I happen
to go to Loud to p and a
232
00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:06.240
It's mansion quite often to watch the
pay per view fights because us bundling together
233
00:18:06.240 --> 00:18:08.160
can get to pay per view and
we can actually watch it. And you
234
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.519
know, I have more to talk
about when it's time for pay per view.
235
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.200
But what really got me upset was
two days later after this event happened,
236
00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:21.039
we'd had a fight with a Canadian
fighter and the number fifteen ranked female
237
00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:26.480
fighter in the world, Miranda Maverick. Miranda loses her fight. Two days
238
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:30.519
later, you have her coming out
with a statement where she has said that
239
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:36.359
I have gotten so many and I
quote, I've gotten so many death threats
240
00:18:36.440 --> 00:18:41.839
and so many messages to commit suicide, just to kill myself. I never
241
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:44.839
realized that would get so many.
Just because I have a blue check next
242
00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:49.039
to my name means that I'm invincible
to these things. Now, she shouldn't
243
00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.200
have to apologize for the trolls that
are coming onto her page. Now,
244
00:18:53.200 --> 00:18:57.079
if you're just a troll, that's
gonna be very hard to diminish in any
245
00:18:57.160 --> 00:19:02.000
sport. But if you are listening
into this show, right now, and
246
00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:06.799
you have the nerve to go after
a professional athlete, one that most of
247
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:11.319
the world doesn't even know, who
is fighting to put food on the table
248
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.960
for their families, or for themselves, or just a better tomorrow. They
249
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:18.440
win, whether you just want to
inflict the wound deeper, or whether you
250
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:22.279
didn't have your parlay, or however
it works on draft Kings, whatever however
251
00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:26.079
that worked out. I'm talking to
you straight up, and I'm not kidding.
252
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:30.720
If you are one of those people, you are banned from this podcast.
253
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:36.000
I don't want to hear from you. Don't you dare comment on my
254
00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:37.799
show in any way, because I
will give you a dress down like you've
255
00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:44.480
never seen before. I may give
my opinions on the fighters on what direction
256
00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.359
they might go, but I will
never ever stoop to the low that these
257
00:19:48.599 --> 00:19:56.519
fans or disrespectful group of marks,
or whoever these disgusting human beings are that
258
00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:03.480
are flooding Mirandom Mavericks Twitter with so
much hateful rhetoric. I will never stoop
259
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:07.880
that low. You're not allowed over
here. You're banned, and I'll find
260
00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.400
a way to block you. I'll
find a way to report you anyway that
261
00:20:10.480 --> 00:20:12.480
I can and I know she's having
to do that, and she's said that
262
00:20:12.519 --> 00:20:17.440
she has to comb through that and
see the ones that actually do care about
263
00:20:17.480 --> 00:20:23.119
her. So she lost. She
loses to a Canadian favorite. Most of
264
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.960
the Canadian fighters came out on top
that night. It does go into a
265
00:20:29.039 --> 00:20:33.000
decision. It wasn't like she was
totally dominated in every way, just very
266
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:37.400
much in the eyes of the judges. She gets the loss. But this
267
00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:41.119
is very hard for me to defend
UFC fighters or some of the greatest people
268
00:20:41.119 --> 00:20:45.759
in the world. You had a
promoter named Malki Kawai who has asked the
269
00:20:45.839 --> 00:20:51.519
question, if you had a chance
to promote NFL fighters or NFL players or
270
00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:52.759
MMA fighters, who would you take. I would take the MMA guys.
271
00:20:52.799 --> 00:20:57.440
Why Because they're more genuine, because
they're better people. The people that stip
272
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:03.640
in the cage, who are Hillers
stand across from you. They're athletes,
273
00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:08.920
they're human beings. So I stand
with the mirandom Maverick. She can just
274
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.440
dust herself off and pick herself up
and we'll see her down the road another
275
00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.519
day. She may not be ranking
number fifteen anymore, but she doesn't deserve
276
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:22.039
the type of rhetoric coming out of
these hateful comments, and I stand by
277
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.880
that. I don't want to hear
your opinion. If you are a person
278
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.119
who says that they are getting death
threats or saying this person should commit suicide,
279
00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:34.400
you are the lowest form of society. And it embarrasses me and an
280
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.160
MMA fan that I have to defend
Mirandom Maverick. She doesn't need me to
281
00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:41.240
defend her, but I'm defending her
and jumping to her side. Anyway.
282
00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:48.680
You have no right to talk to
anybody that way, much less somebody who
283
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:53.720
put on a performance for you.
I don't want to hear it. So
284
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.359
that's what happened is I'm taking a
minute just to show that you f C
285
00:21:57.519 --> 00:22:03.319
fans discuss me Mirandom Maverick does not
all these other fighters who are doing their
286
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.240
part, who are putting on a
show, who are chasing a dream,
287
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:11.599
taking an opportunity that Dana White gave
them, which is about it, which
288
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.519
is an opportunity, or Scott Coker
or anybody else in between. I don't
289
00:22:15.519 --> 00:22:19.359
want to hear it. You're not
welcome over here on this show if you
290
00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:23.839
are that hateful to Mirandom Maverick or
anybody else for that matter. Now,
291
00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:26.039
if you are a person that says, hey, that was a that was
292
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.559
a tough fall. She'll come back. We got something to talk about.
293
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:34.200
So that's as far as I'll go
on the Mirandom Maverick topic, because she
294
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:38.240
shouldn't be going through that in the
first place. She has an l Now,
295
00:22:38.960 --> 00:22:42.359
okay, she'll go back to the
gym, she'll train, she'll get
296
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:47.200
back in the cage. Just what
happens. Either have your win or your
297
00:22:47.279 --> 00:22:49.680
loss. Don't come to me and
tell me that you can come and have
298
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.200
an opinion on this show if that's
the kind of human being that you are.
299
00:22:55.759 --> 00:23:00.880
Now moving on to, where do
we have a discussion with Oliverah and
300
00:23:00.039 --> 00:23:06.839
Islam. I'm jumping straight into the
lightweights. Charles Olivera made easy work out
301
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:10.200
of Vanille del Rouge. Actually he
didn't. He defeated him in the first
302
00:23:10.279 --> 00:23:15.200
round. Benny was actually doing pretty
good, but once that Oliverah engine got
303
00:23:15.240 --> 00:23:22.720
ribbed up, Olivera just annihilates him. So we've got a number one contender,
304
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.960
and there's no doubt anymore that Oliverah
is the number one contender against Islam
305
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:33.640
Makachev. Now we've got another discussion
about the BMF title. You got Pooria
306
00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:40.359
versus Justin Gaiche Islam is saying,
I don't want to hear about those guys.
307
00:23:40.359 --> 00:23:44.960
In other words, olivera has claimed
and has shown that he's the number
308
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.920
one contender for the light Heavyweight Championship
of the World. The BMF title,
309
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:53.640
on paper, is a UFC title
that will get these guys more money.
310
00:23:55.799 --> 00:23:59.799
I'm happy for Dustin Poorier. I'm
glad that he's the guy that's beaten KR
311
00:24:00.039 --> 00:24:03.519
McGregor twice and he can baptize anybody
in the name of his hot sauce.
312
00:24:03.559 --> 00:24:08.400
That's wonderful. Justin Gachi has gained
more bonus checks for his performances in the
313
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:14.720
UFC, probably than anybody in recent
history. It's an excellent fight that you
314
00:24:14.759 --> 00:24:18.480
don't need the strap four, but
it's gonna happen regardless. And what diminishes
315
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.720
it is what Nate Diaz had to
say. So I'm switching from being very
316
00:24:22.799 --> 00:24:27.160
serious about the disgusting comments made about
Mirandom Maverick, and now I'm switching to
317
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:34.799
a guy named Nate Diaz who diminishes
the significance of the built in the BMF
318
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:40.400
title even more. This is an
idea those concocted out of his own mind,
319
00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:45.559
and Nate Diaz says this again every
time. I don't know if this
320
00:24:45.599 --> 00:24:48.039
is me being a mark, or
if this is me just being an all
321
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:51.039
out fan, or if I'm watching
a wreck on the highway and I can't
322
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:56.279
look away. I can't look away. When Nate Diaz speaks. Nate Diaz
323
00:24:56.400 --> 00:25:02.240
says that they the guys they are
fighting for the BMF title, Dustin More
324
00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.680
and Justin Gaiche as good as they
are. Nate did says that they don't
325
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:15.079
meet the criteria and they ask him
why, and Nate says, well,
326
00:25:15.119 --> 00:25:22.160
because they're dorks. Two of the
most dangerous lightweights in the history of the
327
00:25:22.240 --> 00:25:30.519
UFC have now been shot down.
But Nate Didz and I don't have a
328
00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:37.519
comeback for this one. I have
no way to even bring that back and
329
00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:40.279
you know, be able to blow
on the coals and try to get a
330
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:45.400
little bit of extra firepower out of
this. The BMF title will get them
331
00:25:45.440 --> 00:25:48.519
more money and more pay per view
points, but it doesn't guarantee that they
332
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:53.319
will be a number one contender,
as Ali Vera has clearly shown that he's
333
00:25:53.359 --> 00:25:59.640
the number one contender. That's who
Islam needs to be fighting. But even
334
00:25:59.720 --> 00:26:03.880
Nate DS has diminished how important it
is these two got. Now, if
335
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.880
you look at Justin Gaiche when he
puts glasses on, he definitely looks like
336
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:10.920
a like a nerd who gets into
comics. I'm sorry, but this is
337
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:15.079
a guy who would destroy anybody walking
down the street. Dustin Pori is such
338
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:18.720
a nice guy who's given to so
many projects, and now he's able to
339
00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:26.400
get the hot sauce that is sponsoring
the UFC, and now it's the BMF
340
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:34.000
is diminished just because Nate Das has
claimed at their dors I can't go any
341
00:26:34.039 --> 00:26:37.759
further than that, except we'll see
how this plays out. Rightfully, so
342
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:44.920
Olivera's number one contender against Islam Makachev
for the title, but with the BMF
343
00:26:45.000 --> 00:26:48.839
being defended in late July, we'll
see how that plays out. Now to
344
00:26:48.319 --> 00:26:53.920
the main event of two eighty nine, Nunaz versus Eldonham, I stam corrected.
345
00:26:55.559 --> 00:26:59.319
I mentioned that lightning could strike twice
in the octagon. I knew that
346
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:04.000
Mexico was coming in with a lot
of momentum, but ran behind Aldonna.
347
00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:07.720
Well, you can't do that.
If y'all you're gonna do a shadow box
348
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:12.119
an entire time for four rounds and
then when the not self proclaimed but the
349
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:17.039
goat herself comes in and rides out
her time on top of you like a
350
00:27:17.119 --> 00:27:21.559
human blanket while you take guard,
and she's working the upper position, looking
351
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:25.880
for elbows to throw and trying to
you know, just right out the time,
352
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:30.960
you can't do it. Aldonna just
didn't come in and give the performance
353
00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:34.759
that she needed to give. She
didn't take any reckless moves, but she
354
00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.279
just when she had to go for
it, she didn't go for it.
355
00:27:37.359 --> 00:27:42.720
She ended up on her back for
the final fifth round, and Nunez retires
356
00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:51.599
as the proclaimed grayst MMA female fighter
of all time. The only one trying
357
00:27:52.039 --> 00:27:56.440
to blow oxygen on this fire that's
going out happens to be Julian Opinion,
358
00:27:56.599 --> 00:28:00.119
who's sitting there at cage side,
and I get I can get more into
359
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.759
that as this builds up even more, she's trying to keep the rivalry alive,
360
00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:08.839
while in Unez is already leaving and
say, Induces, I'll see you
361
00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.440
guys as I go spend time in
my family because my mother doesn't want to
362
00:28:12.440 --> 00:28:15.000
see me do this anymore, and
my family doesn't want I'm sorry, it's
363
00:28:15.039 --> 00:28:19.519
kind of hard to come back from
that, Kabib stepped away because his father's
364
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.519
passed away and his mother doesn't want
him doing the sport anymore. No more
365
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:29.119
discussion. If it goes against your
faith or if it goes against your mother,
366
00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:32.920
you're not going to sell somebody on
why they should continue down a certain
367
00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.119
road. Kabib didn't do it,
and now I'm in in. Unez is
368
00:28:36.160 --> 00:28:38.519
being told by her family, we
don't want you go on this route anymore.
369
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:42.480
What more do you have to prove? And the only one that she
370
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:49.119
could possibly have to prove something to
is Julian Opinion, who is desperately trying
371
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.480
to keep that alive. We'll see
how that plays out, if that's enough
372
00:28:52.519 --> 00:28:59.880
firepower to shoot her in the leg
and for Nunez to turn around. Well
373
00:29:00.240 --> 00:29:04.119
as that plays out, But tonight's
Fight Night, two main key points I
374
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:08.519
want to make is the co main
event and the main event, and really
375
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:11.559
on the comin event. The only
one Wan to talk about is one of
376
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.000
my favorite fighters, Armants Rukion.
I'll tie it into the fight night or
377
00:29:15.079 --> 00:29:22.160
what I think. Marvin Vttori and
Jared cannoneer great contenders. Neither one of
378
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.720
them have been able to dethrone Israel
Outasania. So now they're working their way
379
00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:32.680
up into another contendership, and that's
about all they can do in this weight
380
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:37.720
class as long as izz he's holding
the title. So Vatore versus Cannoneer,
381
00:29:37.759 --> 00:29:44.799
I honestly believe that Jared Cannoneer has
proven to probably be the strongest of the
382
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:51.119
two bowls, and I believe his
elbows are something to be feared. Now.
383
00:29:51.279 --> 00:29:56.519
Is there a difference between a strong
elbow and a slicing elbow? I
384
00:29:56.559 --> 00:30:00.680
believe there is if you watch.
Let's just look at slicing elbow for a
385
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:07.200
second. The history of the slicing
elbow has usually been the lower, smaller
386
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:08.799
guys. It's been the flyweights,
has been the bantam weights, it's been
387
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.200
the featherweights, it's been the lightweight
It's been the smaller guys. If we
388
00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:17.839
go back as far as Kenny Florian, he was known for the slicing elbow
389
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.240
that would catch you over the eye
and you would have a doctor stoppage because
390
00:30:21.240 --> 00:30:29.119
you can't continue anymore. Armandsourukion the
comanment tonight has a slicing elbow. I
391
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:34.240
would be nervous for his opponent on
how if he gets dangerously close and applies
392
00:30:34.279 --> 00:30:38.720
the pressure or gets into the clinch, that ar montsoer Rukion could throw that
393
00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:44.200
slicing elbow and it can be over
or at least it wouldn't. It would
394
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:48.640
spell trouble for the rest of the
fight as they're trying to clear blood out
395
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.359
of the opponent's eyes. That's what
armnso Errukio and Serrukion has in his toolbox.
396
00:30:52.880 --> 00:30:57.480
What Jared Cannoneer has in his toolbox, as we saw with Derek Brunson,
397
00:30:59.000 --> 00:31:03.279
is those strong elbows, the elbows
that will wobble you. As he
398
00:31:03.480 --> 00:31:07.920
got Brunson on his back, he
started throwing those short elbows and started bouncing
399
00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.720
Derek Brunson's head off of the canvas
and you had to stop it by the
400
00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:15.839
referee. I think you're gonna have
a story tonight with a comin event.
401
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:22.119
You have slicing elbows and you have
very strong elbows from Janet Jared Cannoneer main
402
00:31:22.240 --> 00:31:26.640
event. This is what I can
foresee happening with tonight's fight night. So
403
00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:30.960
I thank you for a chance to
listen ton on the show. I have
404
00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:33.359
three weeks I'm gonna take for a
vacation. I look forward to getting back
405
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.359
with you a long time down the
road. We will see you guys at
406
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:41.559
some point in July. Not so
much same blockhead time, but same blockhead
407
00:31:41.640 --> 00:31:45.599
nation. But we'll see you in
three weeks. If you would play us
408
00:31:45.640 --> 00:32:07.839
out, prestonp.
