1
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:29.800
Broadcasting Live good evening, Blockhead Nation, thank you for stopping

2
00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:34.240
by once again. You are listening to your favorite Blockhead,

3
00:00:34.719 --> 00:00:37.799
the only podcast in the podcasting world that can somehow

4
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:40.920
incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and then be

5
00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.399
talking about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon the next.

6
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:46.520
I am your host. My name is Brian Little. I

7
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.799
apologize once again for my tardiness, but to be fair,

8
00:00:50.399 --> 00:00:53.880
I live in Dallas, Texas in the Blockhead Mansion. The

9
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:56.759
O two Arena is in London, so I was checking

10
00:00:56.799 --> 00:00:59.920
out the MMA fights going on. Since we have different

11
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.759
time zones, that kind of just allows me to have

12
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.280
Part two taken care of. So if you tune into

13
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.920
part one, you're gonna hear about Peanuts, and you're gonna

14
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.079
hear the scripture of the day following that. So there's

15
00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:13.040
always three things I will always cover on this podcast.

16
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:14.120
Number one, guys King.

17
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:18.799
Number two Peanuts is the single most successful comic strip

18
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:22.519
in American history. And number three mixed martial arts is

19
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:24.719
the greatest sport under God's hot sun.

20
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:26.280
So starting off right.

21
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:31.760
Away, it's a shift because the main focus for a

22
00:01:31.879 --> 00:01:37.840
sports fan now is March Madness, So there's a challenge here, Blockhead.

23
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:43.959
Did the Peanuts comic strip ever address March madness?

24
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:44.439
Sort of?

25
00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.120
When I go back and look at some of the

26
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:55.200
comic strips where Snoopy would play basketball, I remember two

27
00:01:55.319 --> 00:01:58.519
instances where he did that. If you're looking at your bracket,

28
00:01:59.319 --> 00:02:04.079
A Snoopy in September of nineteen seventy three treated Woodstock's

29
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:08.199
nest as the hoop. So he goes in for a

30
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:10.960
layup and poor little Woodstocks the receiving end of it.

31
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:14.879
That's one incident and I can think of. There was

32
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:18.719
also the episode about This Is America Charlie Brown discussing

33
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:23.400
the great inventors and the great inventions. Sally is doing

34
00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:26.280
a report about the great inventions that came out of

35
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.560
the United States in the eighteen hundreds, and she started

36
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:34.240
talking about doctor je Naysmith, where he was looking for

37
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:37.879
an indoor sport. So he sept two peach baskets and

38
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:41.120
the balcony of his school gymnasium and started the game

39
00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:45.280
of basketball. That's another story in itself, but that was

40
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.240
where I think basketball was addressed. As far as doing

41
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.680
a whole tournament bracket, I don't think that was Sparky's focus.

42
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.680
He was much more into hockey. He would pay attention

43
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.520
to other sports. He would pay attention to baseball, but

44
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:05.240
I wouldn't make him out to be an especially enthusiastic

45
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.520
basketball fan unless there's just a player that he was

46
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:12.439
really enthralled with. But that would be one example that

47
00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:15.960
I can think of, at least for the comic strip

48
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.800
and one for the TV series. That would be the

49
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.080
most I can contribute to March Madness. But if I

50
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:26.439
can also contribute something about Snoopy, I keep forgetting to

51
00:03:26.479 --> 00:03:30.960
mention this that not only Snoopy is the favorite character

52
00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:34.560
by Charles Schultz, I can prove to you that was

53
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.879
his favorite, he is also the most interchangeable character that

54
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.439
there is. But I keep forgetting to mention on the

55
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:48.960
back end that Snoopy is very therapeutic for anyone, especially

56
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:53.360
for Charlie Brown. Sort of.

57
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:57.719
You'll know I threw that on the back end there.

58
00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.000
Because if we go back to a comic strip from

59
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.879
March nineteen seventy eight, you can see Charlie Brown sitting

60
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.759
down and talking about his day to Snoopy, and he says,

61
00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:10.000
and I quote, it's nice to have your own dogs

62
00:04:10.039 --> 00:04:12.120
to talk to. That's very true. There's three of them

63
00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:14.560
here at the Blockhead Mansion. They make noise in the

64
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.759
background because they don't understand audio quality, and Tibrown contends

65
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.600
to go on and say, a dog doesn't try to

66
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:21.560
give you a lot of advice.

67
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:23.040
He just listens.

68
00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.000
If you have watched the Anime movie of twenty fifteen,

69
00:04:28.040 --> 00:04:31.839
you'll recognize this dialogue. It's the same one, mind you,

70
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.120
most of the time, that's what a person just wants,

71
00:04:36.120 --> 00:04:41.439
someone who will listen and not try to give you advice. Now,

72
00:04:41.439 --> 00:04:47.120
Blockhead will give advice when expected to, not just when

73
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:51.040
it's questioned. But since you've come to a podcast, the

74
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:52.639
most of you that are part of the Blockhead Massion,

75
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:56.240
part of my tribe, do kind of care about what

76
00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.439
my opinions are because you keep coming back. And I

77
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.480
appreciate that tremendously. But it's like Charlie Brown says, when

78
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.120
it comes to the dogs, most of the time, you

79
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:06.639
just want to talk, which is why a dog is

80
00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:11.040
perfect for that. Which in the movie and in this

81
00:05:11.160 --> 00:05:17.279
same comic strip, you see how Snoopy has zoned out

82
00:05:17.639 --> 00:05:21.759
at that point in the comic strip, it's an eye roll.

83
00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.720
And on the other hand, but you do get a

84
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:28.160
sigh out of Charlie Brown in both the movie and

85
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.279
the comic strip when Snoopy is clearly not paying attention

86
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:35.040
to anything he's got to say. So, now that I've

87
00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:38.879
addressed march madness, which is rarely talked about in the

88
00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:42.480
world of Peanuts, and I've talked about dogs being therapeutic,

89
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:47.079
especially Snoopy for a mass audience, I'm going to come

90
00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.199
back and go to the content creators. A lot of

91
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.360
you have come my way because you found me on TikTok,

92
00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.480
which is fine. I usually use that as a way

93
00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:01.399
to channel listeners over to the show. I'll tell you

94
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.879
to go check out Spotify or Apple because that's where

95
00:06:04.920 --> 00:06:07.360
you're gonna hear what I have to say. You'll see

96
00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:10.959
the prompting most of the time on TikTok, on Instagram

97
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.120
and all the other social media is It's just but

98
00:06:13.199 --> 00:06:17.399
I've been doing this for eight plus years now, content creators.

99
00:06:18.519 --> 00:06:21.439
When I hear somebody tell me that they've lost so

100
00:06:21.639 --> 00:06:25.360
much viewership, and then I ask, how long.

101
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.120
Have you been doing this?

102
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:32.560
For about a year? Okay, I've been recording for over

103
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.759
eight plus years now. Granted it's still a teacher by

104
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.480
data podcaster by weekend teaching does allow for Blockhead to

105
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.199
have the leverage to continue to do this on a

106
00:06:42.199 --> 00:06:44.959
weekly basis because I love it, that's true. But there

107
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.319
have been some things to build in the brand, cultivating

108
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:52.720
the audience and working towards some monetization for this show.

109
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:56.680
That is true. I follow that bam acronym taught to

110
00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.160
me by Pod Houston. So these are things that I've

111
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:01.240
learned along the way way and I'm more so happy

112
00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:03.639
to share. If you're a content creator, and I will

113
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.639
just say this, low and slow is still the way

114
00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:10.519
to go. Your best taste in food is with the

115
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.079
best ingredients, with the most care and a low and

116
00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:20.079
slow approach. Who were you truly competing with except for

117
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.000
other content creators out there that are waiting for that

118
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:27.319
big surge. When in you're any type of creation of

119
00:07:27.360 --> 00:07:30.240
any kind, you're gonna have your hills and valleys. I

120
00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:34.360
even felt triggered today watching the State Farm commercial about

121
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.360
Batman and Bateman. But Batman looking at him and going

122
00:07:37.879 --> 00:07:41.680
just go home and do a podcast or something. I mean,

123
00:07:41.680 --> 00:07:44.680
how much of a brushof can you get up in

124
00:07:44.839 --> 00:07:47.680
advertising and commercials to us podcasters?

125
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:49.879
But you know that is just the truth.

126
00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:51.920
There's gonna be some high moments, there gonna be some

127
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:57.319
low moments, but content creation is key. It matters what

128
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:01.040
you have to say, whether I'm waysive or not, whether

129
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.600
I'm a great storyteller or not. The tribe will come

130
00:08:04.639 --> 00:08:08.279
back in return. But people can see you sweat from

131
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:12.759
a mile away. So lose the desperation find the passion again.

132
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:17.000
I hope that helps. If you're listening now, while I'm

133
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:20.360
referring to what I'm seeing on TikTok, I have to

134
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:24.759
mention one now because I'm not seeing the antithesis to it.

135
00:08:25.879 --> 00:08:31.000
There's this thing where you have a spit test. Okay,

136
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:36.440
you have somebody older than you. The younger kids have

137
00:08:36.519 --> 00:08:40.879
taken a bottle of water, fill their mouths up, usually

138
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:43.919
put a towel down, because there's gonna be a spit

139
00:08:44.039 --> 00:08:46.519
test for every one of these words that come off

140
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.240
of brain rot. Brain rot is very much the same

141
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:53.320
thing as simply when you come home after having to

142
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.039
be serious or having to learn something that is strenuous

143
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.799
in the classroom or at work, whatever it might be,

144
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:03.519
you come home and you dumb yourself down. You watch cartoons,

145
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.679
you watch stupid stuff. As the little redhair girl loves

146
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:09.240
to mention to me, you're watching cartoons and stupid stuff,

147
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:10.480
aren't you.

148
00:09:10.480 --> 00:09:11.039
You know it.

149
00:09:12.039 --> 00:09:14.879
But the younger generation is using this thing called brain

150
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:19.759
rot and using these terms that just make no sense.

151
00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:23.480
But when we read them from the script, they spit

152
00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.759
the water all over their tail. Some of you know

153
00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:26.519
what I'm talking about.

154
00:09:26.519 --> 00:09:27.200
But if they.

155
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:32.559
Say the phrases skivity, toilet riz or even mispronounce it

156
00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:35.039
because they might have a language barrier, whatever it is,

157
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.759
and the kids start laughing when we're saying their words

158
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:45.360
that came through their channel, they come through their frequency,

159
00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:49.159
and it's very different, showing the different worlds between the two.

160
00:09:49.679 --> 00:09:53.200
It's kind of a bonding, if you will, between boomers

161
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:57.440
or Gen X or millennials, the older millennials, if you will,

162
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:02.320
to this new Gen Z and Alpha generation, you know,

163
00:10:02.440 --> 00:10:05.320
using phrases like you're doing too much, bro, you're so

164
00:10:05.600 --> 00:10:07.480
mid you know, And these are things that will be

165
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:12.039
said in the spit test with these print offs. But

166
00:10:12.080 --> 00:10:15.960
I gotta tell you, it's willing to throw the challenge

167
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:22.759
out there. Nobody has done the opposite, where the older

168
00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:27.639
generation or Gen X or millennials will sit down with

169
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.519
their mouth full of water, and you'll have the young

170
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:37.000
kids reading things from our generation. Let's just take the

171
00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:40.879
nineties for a second. Here. Can you imagine a young

172
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:44.879
kid with a print off as we the older crowd,

173
00:10:44.919 --> 00:10:46.799
are sitting there with our mouths full of water, and

174
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:49.360
they say cowwabunga.

175
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:51.759
Dudes, I don't know if.

176
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:52.799
I'd make it past that one.

177
00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:59.159
Leave your name and number after the beep, Please rewind

178
00:11:00.120 --> 00:11:04.559
before we turn into the slot. Here's one call one

179
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.840
eight hundred CEO L L e CT, save a bucker

180
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:13.559
two or three. We get it, but they're sitting here

181
00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:15.879
going It might be more than one word, it might

182
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:21.279
be paraphrasing, but still you get it. Don't tell my

183
00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:26.039
heart my achy breaking. I wouldn't make it past that one,

184
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:32.480
but could somebody give us the opposite. I would love

185
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:36.080
to watch one of those. It's been thrown out there,

186
00:11:36.559 --> 00:11:39.080
the gauntlet's been thrown down by the blockhead Nation.

187
00:11:40.399 --> 00:12:12.159
Have at it. We'll see you on the other side.

188
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.559
Our scripturian for this podcast comes from Romans, chapter eleven,

189
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:22.000
verse twenty two. Behold, therefore the goodness and severity of

190
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:29.440
God on them which fell severity, but toward thee goodness.

191
00:12:30.279 --> 00:12:35.759
If thou continue in his goodness, Otherwise thou also shalt

192
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.600
be cut off. Reflection from luelair. Bible says, those who

193
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:44.720
abide in the love of Christ are assured of his kindness.

194
00:12:46.200 --> 00:12:49.279
He cares for his children. They are the sheep of

195
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:54.399
his hand. Never shall those who He grants drink of

196
00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:58.879
the living water grow faint. So trust in the Lord

197
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:04.039
blockad nation, lean on his abounding grace, abiding the life

198
00:13:04.039 --> 00:13:07.480
from his vine, and you're never gonna feel the severity

199
00:13:08.480 --> 00:13:13.320
of his hand, as Leon Edwards certainly felt the severity

200
00:13:14.360 --> 00:13:17.879
of Sean Brady's anaconda approach.

201
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:18.519
Tonight.

202
00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:22.279
So we had UFC fight night in the O two

203
00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.320
Arena in London. Not exactly a good night for meatball

204
00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:32.159
Molly McCann. You have the debut of a young fighter

205
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:36.159
who took her to task fairly quickly. And in the

206
00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.759
end Molly gives her speech. You see Patty the battie

207
00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:44.879
out in the attendants and you see her put her

208
00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:50.720
gloves down. But she didn't use the R word. She

209
00:13:50.840 --> 00:13:53.879
did not mention that she is going to retire. She

210
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.879
just alluded to it. And now all the dirt sheets

211
00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:02.440
for MMA are already sending out the message that she's

212
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.320
gone now. Does that not mean that even if she does,

213
00:14:08.480 --> 00:14:12.240
she'd be a recognizable name anytime a uk bout comes around,

214
00:14:12.240 --> 00:14:16.840
That's sure, but it's been confusing for a while when

215
00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.879
the gloves have been put down the cage because that

216
00:14:21.000 --> 00:14:25.279
hasn't been honored for so long. Most of us know

217
00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:29.559
what that means. In collegiate wrestling, when a wrestler takes

218
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.559
his shoes off, that's his last match. The idea carried

219
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.519
over in the mid two thousand's when fighters would do that,

220
00:14:39.320 --> 00:14:43.799
But for the last several years it's hinting that I

221
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:47.519
want to retire, but if Danta comes back with a

222
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:49.879
counter offer, I'm back either the next day or the

223
00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:54.200
next month, that next year. So there's almost a shelf

224
00:14:54.200 --> 00:14:57.360
life these days with the Gloves. But we'll see what

225
00:14:57.960 --> 00:15:03.360
Molly mc cann does for moving forward. Kevin Holland gets

226
00:15:03.360 --> 00:15:06.360
a win. It was interesting to see that that gunner

227
00:15:06.399 --> 00:15:09.559
Nelson still has a really strong chin, but the younger

228
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:12.759
cat is going to prevail. He had a pretty good

229
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.480
show by Carlos Olberg against Yan Blohovitch. But when we

230
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:19.080
get to Sean Brady, just a dominant performance and this

231
00:15:19.120 --> 00:15:20.960
is what I would anyone that who would mentioned this

232
00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:25.639
was a textbook example of the striker versus the grappler,

233
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:29.360
and Sean Brady got on the scale and just looked

234
00:15:29.559 --> 00:15:33.120
massive as a welterweight, but he weighed right in at

235
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.600
one seventy. So this is a guy who just does

236
00:15:36.679 --> 00:15:39.679
all the right things. It's a man who just had

237
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.720
a child. On the day that the Philadelphia Eagles became

238
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.159
Super Bowl champions, he got the call he's going to

239
00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:52.799
face the former champion, number one ranked contender, and now

240
00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:56.120
it looks like Sean Brady will get an opportunity to

241
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.759
face Belel Muhammad for the title, unless somehow Rochmanoff comes

242
00:15:59.799 --> 00:16:02.720
back from his injury and go straight to the front

243
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.080
of the line, or there's a condendership between.

244
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:05.879
Sean Brady and Rothmanov.

245
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.320
Either way, number five has changed to number one very

246
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:16.879
quickly and in dominant fashion. So complete hat tip to

247
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:22.480
the very dangerous on the ground Sean Brady from this podcaster.

248
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:27.120
So nothing but respect on that one. There were a

249
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:30.000
few other things that stood out in the middle of

250
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:37.559
the event, but one in particular. Those who follow I

251
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:40.159
already mentioned my TikTok, and I'm not trying to really

252
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:43.039
drum up support in any way. But you'll notice that

253
00:16:43.080 --> 00:16:50.120
on the photo that I used is Tom aspinall is

254
00:16:50.159 --> 00:16:57.919
sitting Cage's side. The two biggest possible fights in the

255
00:16:58.000 --> 00:17:00.960
UFC right now, at least according to most of the

256
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:04.200
experts and most of the fighters on the ground, the

257
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:06.480
ones that are in the trenches have all agreed that

258
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:11.160
it's two fights. Ever since Uncle Elia have defeated Alex

259
00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:15.000
Pereira is now holding the lightweight Night Heavyweight Championship, and

260
00:17:15.039 --> 00:17:17.200
it looks like the rematch clauses in place for that.

261
00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:24.400
The two biggest fights are either Islam Makachev facing Elia Toporia,

262
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:28.759
who's leaving the featherweight division and going to the lightweights.

263
00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:32.160
Now that one seems to have a face palm because

264
00:17:32.200 --> 00:17:35.839
the coaches are saying, in no way have we agreed

265
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:36.680
to this fight.

266
00:17:38.039 --> 00:17:38.559
The one that.

267
00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:42.400
Seems to make the most sense somebody who Islam hasn't

268
00:17:42.400 --> 00:17:47.000
fought is justin Gaegee. But it seems like the biggest

269
00:17:47.039 --> 00:17:53.400
talk was Elia Toporia come into fight Islam. The only

270
00:17:53.480 --> 00:17:59.480
other fight that even comes remotely close to the one

271
00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:06.039
that's on everybody's lips in the MMA community, when and

272
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:11.200
where is John Jones going to finally fight Tom Aspinall,

273
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:16.079
and Tom Aspinall has mentioned in several interviews that he

274
00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:20.079
is bored with all of this build up. A good

275
00:18:20.160 --> 00:18:23.480
move I mentioned earlier about content creation. Don't Landbay see

276
00:18:23.480 --> 00:18:25.799
his sweat? Tom has certainly not Landbay see him sweat.

277
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.519
You hardly see him break a sweat in the last

278
00:18:29.559 --> 00:18:32.839
five fights that he's had in the octagon, even since

279
00:18:32.880 --> 00:18:37.359
his debut. This is one of the fastest finishers in

280
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.960
the heavyweight division that I've ever seen. Even Joe Rogan

281
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:46.880
has said on his podcast, the guy is and I quote, scary, scary, fast,

282
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:47.799
scary strong.

283
00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.279
Okay.

284
00:18:50.359 --> 00:18:52.440
And I'm not just trying to put this out because

285
00:18:52.480 --> 00:18:55.200
as an MM fan, this is what I want. It

286
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.079
doesn't always matter what I want, it's how everything lines up.

287
00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:06.079
So Tom Aspinall is sitting in cage side and he

288
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.839
doesn't say a word, he doesn't wave, He just sits

289
00:19:08.880 --> 00:19:12.240
there like a cordial young man in a great looking suit.

290
00:19:14.039 --> 00:19:21.559
And he holds up a rubber ducky and said, rubber.

291
00:19:21.319 --> 00:19:23.920
Ducky has a diamond on the bottom of it. That's

292
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:30.559
nice and shiny. To quote my dear friend Cy from

293
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:33.119
the Against the Fence MMA channel, shout out to the

294
00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:36.640
guys from the Against the Fence YouTube page and all

295
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.960
the great content they've done, being able to be at

296
00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:40.599
fight night and be able to be at the press

297
00:19:40.640 --> 00:19:43.640
conference and ask legitimate questions of all the fighters. They're

298
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:47.599
doing great work over there. SI said something tonight while

299
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:50.799
they were live, and he has allowed me to share this.

300
00:19:52.039 --> 00:19:58.079
He said, he just said a million things, and yet

301
00:19:58.119 --> 00:20:03.680
he said nothing at all. When tom Osmot said he's

302
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.559
bored with the discussion and the build up to John Jones,

303
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.960
he means it. He let the rubber ducky do his

304
00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:23.480
talking for you, because you are ducking tom Asminall. Tom

305
00:20:23.480 --> 00:20:29.119
Aspinall's father was asked a few days ago how he

306
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:34.599
felt about John Jones. Now, this one I need to clarify,

307
00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:38.480
just to be on the safe side. I'm sure Blockad

308
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.880
Nation you're intelligent enough to know what tom Asmo's father

309
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:44.240
is saying. But sometimes we need to look at what

310
00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:48.880
old English language is. You know, we have to be careful.

311
00:20:49.400 --> 00:20:53.839
Didn't realize with Cockney rhyming slang such a thing as

312
00:20:53.880 --> 00:21:00.359
bees and honey for money or you know, Dodgy Ruby

313
00:21:00.480 --> 00:21:02.799
could be talking about curry you ate the night before

314
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:05.640
that made your stomach on edge. We just have to

315
00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:10.920
clarify that. And tom Asmino's father says, John Jones is

316
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:19.559
another bum in the shower. Now, that doesn't mean, like

317
00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:24.559
Mickey would say to Rocky Balboa, don't waste my time anymore,

318
00:21:24.599 --> 00:21:27.599
you bum, because I'm too old to waste it on

319
00:21:27.839 --> 00:21:31.119
somebody like you calling him a bum. That's not it

320
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:35.160
at all. It's not a derogatory shot in that way.

321
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:41.400
It's another bum in the shower when you step into

322
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.240
the shower, especially us men, when you wash your hair

323
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.640
and you wash your body and you lather up the

324
00:21:48.759 --> 00:21:52.920
last place, the last crevice.

325
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.960
That you're going to thoroughly clean. If you're doing.

326
00:21:57.680 --> 00:22:03.519
This in the best practices way that you can imagine,

327
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:10.079
is you are cleaning that area three feet south of

328
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:18.240
your head. It is tom Aspinall's father's very mannerally like

329
00:22:18.319 --> 00:22:24.079
way of saying that John Jones is just a butthole

330
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:30.359
that needs to be cleaned by ivory, soap or whatever

331
00:22:30.480 --> 00:22:33.359
you use or duve for men. We can go down

332
00:22:33.400 --> 00:22:35.720
the list of what you use. Don't talk to me

333
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.200
about axe or tag. That's perfume for men that have

334
00:22:39.319 --> 00:22:41.759
boh or little boys that have body odor.

335
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:42.519
I'm not gonna get there.

336
00:22:42.519 --> 00:22:47.559
But still that's what he's actually saying, that this bubb

337
00:22:47.599 --> 00:22:52.200
in the shower just won't face my son. And that's

338
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:55.079
where I stand on this show too, John Jones. It's

339
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:59.200
nothing about you going in and proving anything. And we're

340
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:04.000
all quite accepting the fact, including Daniel Cormier, his greatest nemesis,

341
00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:08.039
that John Jones is just leading us along, stringing out

342
00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:11.519
that carrot so that he can get the biggest payday

343
00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.799
possible by July or September or maybe even towards Madison

344
00:23:14.839 --> 00:23:17.440
Square gardener t Mobile Arena where he can get the

345
00:23:17.440 --> 00:23:18.640
most bang for his buck.

346
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:23.920
So economically speaking, I'm not with John Jones.

347
00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:27.119
But you've insulted a lot of fans by playing this

348
00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:35.359
waiting game. Now you've got a rubber ducky putting you

349
00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:39.839
in your plate, and I want to take the tom

350
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:45.640
Aspinall approach until we have a confirmation, until we know

351
00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:49.799
that an offer has been made, that we have the who, what, win,

352
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:51.640
and the where. We all know why.

353
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.839
At this point we need the date, we need the venue.

354
00:23:57.240 --> 00:24:01.079
Until then, I have every intention doing exactly what Tom

355
00:24:01.119 --> 00:24:03.640
Aspinal just did. Hell over here blockad Nation some of

356
00:24:03.680 --> 00:24:05.759
you that watch the show Seinfeld know what I'm talking about.

357
00:24:05.759 --> 00:24:09.519
There's an episode where Kramer says he refuses to talk

358
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:12.440
starting now.

359
00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:15.039
Now.

360
00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:17.880
That derails later in the episode because they gave him

361
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:20.240
to talk again. Then he exposes some things about Jerry.

362
00:24:20.240 --> 00:24:22.279
They're not good, and they end up on television, and

363
00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.160
of course Jerry looks at us, I thought you weren't

364
00:24:24.160 --> 00:24:28.359
gonna talk about this, to where Kramer goes, all right,

365
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:35.759
starting now, we're gonna keep letting this yellow rubber ducky

366
00:24:36.400 --> 00:24:39.119
do the talking for us. I don't need to mention

367
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.720
Tom aspinall or John Jones anymore, but I will say,

368
00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:49.680
come on back next week, same blockhead time, same blockhead channel.

369
00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:54.880
The silence begins now, all right now

370
00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:05.880
Like for real, well to me, they game by today
