1
00:00:26.600 --> 00:00:30.719
Broadcasting Live, Good evening, Good
afternoon, Blockhead Nation. Whatever time you're

2
00:00:30.719 --> 00:00:34.439
tuning in, I thank you so
much for joining for this episode. You

3
00:00:34.479 --> 00:00:40.600
are listening to your favorite blockhead,
the only podcast in the podcasting world that

4
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:45.880
can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic strip
one minute and then be talking about MMA

5
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.799
and warriors inside the Octagon the next. I am your host. My name

6
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:55.759
is Brian Little. To begin with
a very happy Veterans Day to any of

7
00:00:55.840 --> 00:01:00.200
you that tune in that either have
served, have a family family member who

8
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.920
has served. Some of you one
day will go on to wear the uniform

9
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:11.120
and you will return to our homeland
and you will once again join the ranks

10
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.359
as a veteran. So for all
of you that are tuning in that have

11
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:23.439
either stood the watch or stood a
post proudly honorably, brothers and sisters in

12
00:01:23.599 --> 00:01:30.760
arms. Even if you are overseas
listening to this and you are currently defending

13
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:34.519
our homeland, you are included.
This is not a day of mourning.

14
00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:40.120
This is a day of celebration.
It has been ever since nineteen fifty four,

15
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:47.079
when mister Eisenhower decided that all veterans
should be recognized instead of just okay,

16
00:01:47.239 --> 00:01:49.480
instead of just World War One veterans, every veteran of every war is

17
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.719
important. But we have to remember
the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of

18
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:59.439
the eleventh month, which was the
ceasefire, that would be Armistice Day,

19
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:06.439
would commemorate all of our World War
I veterans. So it has evolved,

20
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:09.319
it has changed over time, and
it is one of those days where we

21
00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:16.240
cannot avoid being either recognized or thanked, and we appreciate that. So there's

22
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:22.879
nothing really somber about it. It's
just once again we sometimes don't know how

23
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.879
to accept those thank yous. We
do appreciate them, and it reminds us

24
00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:31.759
that we are not expendable. It
reminds us that we still matter, but

25
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:38.599
when we are somewhat taken back because
we carry that guilt of our fellow brothers

26
00:02:38.599 --> 00:02:42.879
and sisters who are still out there
or the ones who will choose to one

27
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:46.879
day take the oath of enlistment.
And I can take a minute, since

28
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.280
this is a show that three things
are talked about. Number One, God

29
00:02:51.319 --> 00:02:55.759
is king first and foremost. The
military was never my God. The military

30
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:00.639
was a choice that I made.
Second of all, pea nuts is the

31
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.439
single most successful comic strip in American
history. And third, mixed martial arts

32
00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:08.960
is the greatest sport under God's hot
sun. When it comes to mma,

33
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:14.400
Dana White's pretty good to veterans,
He's pretty good to military when it comes

34
00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:20.879
to peanuts. What I really want
to bring to your attention is simply Charles

35
00:03:20.879 --> 00:03:30.520
Schultz's service, to make it clear
on how important it was for him to

36
00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:35.000
be a sergeant in the Second Great
War. If you didn't know that,

37
00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:40.280
he did serve honorably, even though
he used snoopy many times. As the

38
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:49.639
World War One flying ace, he
was on the doorstep of Hitler's final solution.

39
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:54.319
You can look this up. There's
plenty of autobiographies written about Charles Schulton

40
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.680
his service, and he said himself, and I quote, going into the

41
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.000
middle Terry was one of the best
things I could have done, because and

42
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:06.719
I quote that this has always been
Charles Schultz's way. He may throw dirt

43
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.919
on Charlie Brown, but if there's
anybody he talks less about, it's himself.

44
00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:15.280
And I guess I have a little
bit of that in me too.

45
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.639
But he says, I left home
as a nobody, and I came home

46
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:28.560
as a sergeant. If you look
at Charles Schultz's tombstone as up right now

47
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.399
on any of the social media's for
the Charles Schultz Museum, you will see

48
00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:38.120
that his tombstone does not have anything
that reminds the world that he is the

49
00:04:38.160 --> 00:04:44.319
creator of Peanuts. There are no
Charlie brown, Snoopy Linus, any kind

50
00:04:44.319 --> 00:04:51.000
of paraphernalia on his gravestone. He
is buried amongst his brothers. He has

51
00:04:51.360 --> 00:05:00.279
Sergeant US Army World War Two on
his tombstone. That's how much pride that

52
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:06.079
Sparky had in serving our country.
So I still stand by when I was

53
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:11.680
asked the question by our own rated
JG of the Ray j G Podcast,

54
00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:14.639
who would I want to share a
root beer with? And one of them

55
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.079
would definitely be Charles Schultz himself.
Our hope is to one day make our

56
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.560
way to the Charles Schultz Museum and
have a root beer with Jean Schultz his

57
00:05:21.639 --> 00:05:28.319
wife. That will suffice if possible, even if it is just Snoopy and

58
00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.000
in a huge fluffy costume that we
get to chug root beer is with,

59
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:36.759
that's so be it. But to
have a chance to sit down once again

60
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:45.399
with my grandfather, who in many
ways his tombstone looks almost just like Charles

61
00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:49.759
Schultz's because this is what is usually
commemorated for our brothers and sisters in arms,

62
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:55.600
when they're buried with their fellow veterans, when they're buried with honor and

63
00:05:55.639 --> 00:06:03.199
dignity. So to bring that up, Charles Schultz very much respected our ranks.

64
00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:08.480
He very much was good to veterans. He often talked about that,

65
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:11.680
not just with the World War One
flying as, but he had a particular

66
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:16.839
TV special he did exceptionally well in
showing our involvement in the First and Second

67
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.759
Great War. Now he kind of
went in opposite direction. The episode is

68
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:27.360
called what have We Learned Charlie Brown. It starts with Charlie Brown looking through

69
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:30.600
a scrap book and he is taken
back to the time that he was a

70
00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:38.240
foreign exchange student in France. And
there's two scenes in particular that I always

71
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:42.839
remembered as a kid that made it
to where I had to find this DVD

72
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.319
when I grew up and wore the
breeches of a twenty year old, I

73
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.199
had to go find this DVD and
then I watched it in full and there's

74
00:06:51.240 --> 00:06:57.680
a scene where the four are the
four exchange students, which would be Marcy

75
00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:00.720
Peppermint, Patty Linus, and Charlie
Brown. They're spending the night outside.

76
00:07:01.920 --> 00:07:05.240
They're sleeping bags. The fire has
gone out and must be somewhere in the

77
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:10.399
middle of the night, and Linus
wakes up and looks around and thinks,

78
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:15.639
I don't know where we are,
but there's something familiar about this place.

79
00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.600
Something just stirred him to wake up
and take a look. And as he

80
00:07:19.680 --> 00:07:28.560
walked around the beach, he realized
he was at Omaha Beach, where the

81
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:34.759
Allies landed on D Day. It
is quite a thrilling history lesson. It's

82
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:42.040
a moving history lesson. I will
admit I get tears in my eyes every

83
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:47.720
time when I watch this. And
as you go further into the episode,

84
00:07:47.920 --> 00:07:53.399
you go backwards into World War One, just because geographically that's where they are

85
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:59.399
in their rental car. But this
is what I really enjoy about this particular

86
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:05.639
episode. Linus insists that Snoopy stopped
the car. Now Snoopy being a World

87
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:09.600
War One flying ace, he's the
guy designated to drive the car, and

88
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:11.920
he says, stop. We have
to look at this. And this is

89
00:08:11.959 --> 00:08:16.120
something I clear up every year.
It's a big misconception. Maybe you were

90
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.240
out and about today and maybe you
were presented with a poppy, or maybe

91
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:26.279
you saw somebody that was giving out
poppies red flowers. Maybe you don't know

92
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:33.919
the significance behind this. Allow Blockhead
to help you. Linus skips out of

93
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.720
the car and says, we have
to see this, and he points to

94
00:08:37.799 --> 00:08:45.720
the flowers in the field and he
says, these are poppies. The legend

95
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.799
is is where battles are fought.
These flowers that are supposed to grow up

96
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:58.399
white all turn red and in the
center of each flower is a white cross

97
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:05.720
blockad nation. That's very hard to
explain, except simply if you want to

98
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:11.639
take it from a faith standpoint that
Jesus covers the blood of our soldiers,

99
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.200
or you could simply think mother Nature
might be telling us that we need to

100
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:22.440
do better. And you could look
at as they go forward into the episode,

101
00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:28.039
you see them stand at the British
battlefield dressing station, and this is

102
00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:31.759
where Linus informs everybody that this is
where General J. M. McRae wrote

103
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:39.039
the famous poem in Flanders Fields.
And if you don't know some of the

104
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.080
words to that, I won't go
into detail of it, but I can

105
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:50.080
get you started with that particular poem, and it's really hard for me to

106
00:09:50.159 --> 00:09:56.480
do without getting emotional, but I
will happily help you along. If you're

107
00:09:56.519 --> 00:10:05.919
not familiar with John McRae's famous words. In Flanders Fields, the poppies blow

108
00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:13.000
between the crosses row on row that
mark our place, and in the sky

109
00:10:13.120 --> 00:10:20.360
the larks still bravely singing fly scarce
heard amid the guns below. We are

110
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:26.080
the dead. Short days ago we
lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

111
00:10:28.320 --> 00:11:05.320
loved and were loved, and now
we lie in Flanders Fields. Our

112
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:11.080
scripture reading for this podcast comes from
Hebrews chapter thirteen, verse five. Let

113
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:18.799
your conversation be without covetousness, and
be content with such things as ye have,

114
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:26.080
For he hath said, I will
never leave thee nor forsake thee.

115
00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.799
Reflection from Bluelair Bible talks about being
content with the riches that you have from

116
00:11:31.879 --> 00:11:37.000
God's mercy. This is well said, It says, unceasing are his gifts,

117
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.960
and constant is his loving presence.
Because this world is but a passing

118
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:48.200
frame. It's not your home,
not for your believers, So trust the

119
00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:56.279
kingly majesty of the Lord, and
you'll find true pleasure blockad nation in this

120
00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:00.919
Now, I will admit, as
we shift over in the world of mixed

121
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:09.559
martial arts, Dana White just really
laid out three humongous fights to come up

122
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:15.399
in the next year. Twenty four
is coming off with an explosion instead of

123
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:22.720
kind of spreading these out to begin
with. We do have Vulk versus Eliot

124
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.039
Tapuria that's been confirmed. Instead of
later on in the year, we have

125
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:37.559
Sugarshan O'Malley and Cheeto Vera coming up
in March. You've got some exciting things

126
00:12:37.559 --> 00:12:43.720
to talk about here. And even
though I could dive more into those events

127
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:48.879
as they get closer, I really
want to bring somebody up that might have

128
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.519
been lost in the shuffle. Even
though all these events that have been dropped

129
00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.879
to us for next year are looking
fantastic and the analysis on you YouTube most

130
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:07.440
of them are saying the same thing
that these are good fights. One guy

131
00:13:07.559 --> 00:13:13.320
you should start paying attention to is
the light heavyweight champion of the world.

132
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:18.279
I'm not talking about who's going to
be holding the title tonight with Yuri Prohaska

133
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.720
and Alex Perea. No, I'm
talking about the injured champ who will come

134
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:26.960
back and claim his title or at
least fight for it when we have our

135
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:33.919
interim light heavyweight champion tonight. Yeah, I'm talking about Jamal Hill. Jamal

136
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:37.639
Hill has one of the best MMA
minds that I'm seeing as of late.

137
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.080
And if you remember, this is
a guy who came from a basketball background,

138
00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:50.960
and his analysis and his thinking through
of the fights are so surreal.

139
00:13:52.320 --> 00:13:56.360
So if you haven't been following anybody
on YouTube or following anyone that is doing

140
00:13:56.399 --> 00:14:03.399
analysis of MMA fights other than yours, truly, I would highly encourage you

141
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.480
to go find Jamal Hill, google
him, YouTube him on any of your

142
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:11.840
platforms, and just listen to what
this man has to say. Jamal Hill

143
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:16.399
has one of those old school mentalities
that can go back to what was said

144
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:22.559
in the movie Men in Black.
You remember when the huge alien cockroach is

145
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:24.960
walking towards me. He says,
you got all these problems, You're coming

146
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.159
down here snatching up our galaxy and
other things. My attitude is, don't

147
00:14:28.200 --> 00:14:35.080
start nothing. There won't be nothing. That's Jamal Hill. For some reason,

148
00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:39.320
You've got some of these MMA guys
that go around looking to stir the

149
00:14:39.360 --> 00:14:45.919
pot, and it's not just him. There is very much a wide divide

150
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:54.360
in mixed martial arts between I guess
what you can call journalistic integrity and MMA

151
00:14:54.559 --> 00:14:58.360
rumors that could go together like peanut
butter and jelly, something that everybody wants

152
00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:07.639
a piece of. And in that
wide divide happens to be a humongous nos

153
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:13.720
attached to the face of one aerial
hole, wanting now, is he one

154
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:20.039
of the best MMA journalists that we've
got, certainly, but sometimes when there's

155
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:26.279
nothing there, he tends to go
looking for something that's there. And it's

156
00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:31.720
so evident when he had his interview
with Yuriprolhosca, who's in the main event

157
00:15:31.759 --> 00:15:41.279
tonight, when he is intentionally taking
stabs subliminal messages that are shot directly at

158
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.080
Jamal Hill, when if you compare
the injuries, there was only one credible

159
00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:56.559
question that was asked. I agreed
with this too, Euripulhasca gets injured and

160
00:15:56.039 --> 00:16:00.320
UFC dot com that doesn't do a
very good job of keeping up with current

161
00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:07.159
events or changing over different champions.
When you have somebody who has attained the

162
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.039
belt, they're not exactly good at
in twenty four hours of telling you who

163
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.320
the new champions are. It just
happens. I don't know if it's glitches.

164
00:16:14.720 --> 00:16:17.679
I don't know if it's they're paying
more attention to their other social media

165
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:22.320
platforms, but you see dot com
is pretty slow to respond. It's almost

166
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.000
like getting customer service through Wells Fargo. It just happens. But Euripuhasca was

167
00:16:27.039 --> 00:16:34.399
taken off the very next day on
the website. Jamal Hill is injured and

168
00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:45.480
therefore his picture is still up as
the champion, but we have interim titles

169
00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:48.559
that are going back and forth in
the light heavweight division. It was one

170
00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:52.120
legitimate question, but it certainly seemed
like every time you had to bring up

171
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:57.559
an injury, the injury was directed
right at Jamal Hill. So whatever happens

172
00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.400
tonight with the main event with Yuri
Prohaska, who is a phenomenally dangerous,

173
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:10.240
very strong, intimidating fighter that could
define the light heavyweights for years to come,

174
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.160
versus the guy who has jumped ship
out of another division and has taken

175
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.359
a chance against the very best that
the light heavyweights right now have to offer

176
00:17:18.559 --> 00:17:22.799
that's not on the injured list,
which is Europrosca. You got Alex Perea

177
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:30.160
who's come over, and these two
are going to clash in the main event

178
00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:34.680
of UFC two ninety five in Madison
Square Garden that was supposed to headline John

179
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:41.039
Jones versus Steve Amyochich. But now
you got this that has been promoted to

180
00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:45.400
the main event. Still not a
bad move. Still a fantastic fight that

181
00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:52.599
has my attention. Even the co
main event that is showing Tom Aspinall versus

182
00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:59.720
Sergey Poplovitch, do not count not
Poplovitch in this fight. When you watch

183
00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:04.640
him, the speed he's got in
his hands is almost the equivalent of what

184
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:08.880
I saw when I would watch Fador
Miliananko. Now am I saying he has

185
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:12.920
the same power in his hands that
Fador had? No, I'm not saying

186
00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:17.880
that. I'm saying the speed that
he's got when it comes to striking,

187
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:22.279
when it comes to a heavyweight,
cannot be underestimated. This has to be

188
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:29.200
something that Aspinall is considering. And
Aspinall is not known for going three rounds,

189
00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.759
much less five rounds. So when
you look at this fight that we

190
00:18:33.799 --> 00:18:38.039
have with Pavlovich and Tom Aspinall,
you have the interim title that will be

191
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:42.720
held, and then whoever's holding this
title whenever John Jones decides to come back.

192
00:18:42.759 --> 00:18:47.920
Well, that's gonna be your fight. That's gonna be your headliner unless

193
00:18:47.960 --> 00:18:52.759
we insist on having the legacy fight, the feel good moment, the Mount

194
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:57.319
Rushmore moment, that is stepe A
versus John. But either one of these

195
00:18:57.359 --> 00:19:03.720
guys or a Yerry deserving interim champion, so we do have year versus Alex.

196
00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:08.839
I thought this was strange as I
looked down the card that the guy

197
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:17.960
who fought Patty the Batty lost by
the scorecards but didn't lose in the eyes

198
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:23.440
of the fans, known as Jared
Gordon, is further down the list on

199
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:30.720
the lineup for the fights. Then
the guy who has yet to face Patty

200
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.799
the battye all he did was call
him out, and that would be a

201
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:37.599
guy who is coming technically coming off
of a win, which would be Matt

202
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:41.200
Fravola. You would think, if
we're gonna build up any type of a

203
00:19:41.319 --> 00:19:47.759
narrative, these two would be on
the main card, wouldn't you. I

204
00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:52.079
don't see why Jared Gordon lost like
his stock drup and dropped so much that

205
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.920
he would be further down on the
card than Matt Vvola. Yeah, we're

206
00:19:55.920 --> 00:20:00.559
talking about in l versus A w
but in many ways according to whom,

207
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:07.759
according to the judges, and none
other. So quite an interesting question to

208
00:20:07.799 --> 00:20:11.119
ask on there, But we've got
an amazing card to not going on at

209
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.960
Masson Square Garden. You should be
tuning in Blockhead Nation for all this,

210
00:20:17.200 --> 00:20:22.480
and again, if I've sent you
another direction, by all means, go

211
00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:26.200
here what Jamal and Hill has to
say on YouTube. His analysis is fantastic,

212
00:20:26.400 --> 00:20:30.400
and I'm hearing breaking news that his
bus has been attacked in New York.

213
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:33.759
I'm not sure how credible this is, but apparently it's Palestinians that are

214
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:37.920
attacking the bus, so I hope
to catch you up on that. Next

215
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.000
week we'll get into more detail about
the main events that have been dropped on

216
00:20:41.079 --> 00:20:45.319
us that are coming up next year
as we move closer to twenty twenty four.

217
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:49.279
But once again, who are you
going to side with? Because Jamal

218
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:53.440
made it very clear to yu April
Hosco, who possibly could be his next

219
00:20:53.480 --> 00:20:59.880
adversary, that Ariel Jwane is not
his friend. Ariel Jwane. Is that

220
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:07.599
wide divide between journalistic integrity and MMA
rumors. But nonetheless, you've got a

221
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:11.599
very good main event tonight. Go
check out my guys who would do in

222
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.839
the analysis of Against the Fence.
I'll be tuning in here and there where

223
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:18.279
I can. I apologize if you've
heard any of these dogs in the background.

224
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.039
I do my best with audio quality
with four dogs here in the Blockhead

225
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.319
mansion. Once again, a very
happy Veterans Day to any of you that

226
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:30.960
are listening, that have family,
friends, anyone who has served into the

227
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.480
military. You have my thanks to
my salute, especially to Sparky who served

228
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.599
in the Second Great War. If
you can help in any way when it

229
00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:41.960
comes to this little podcast, downloads
are the most helpful, but it wouldn't

230
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.839
hurt if you would drift over to
your favorite blockhead dot com slash blog.

231
00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:49.920
You can find that link in every
description I've got. All the links for

232
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.880
today's episode are included, and on
that we will talk with you next Saturday,

233
00:21:56.160 --> 00:22:04.720
same Blockhead time, same blockhead chain. They went to their day,

234
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:15.960
then gave way to their day to
the
