00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:29.519
Broadcasting the Live Good Afternoon Blockhead Nation, and thank you

2
00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.399
for stopping by. Once again. You are listening to your

3
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.640
favorite blockhead the only podcast in the podcasting world that

4
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:41.560
can somehow incorporate the Peanuts comic strip one minute and

5
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:45.280
then be talking about MMA and Warriors inside the Octagon

6
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:48.159
the next. I am your host. My name is Brian Little,

7
00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.439
and I apologize Blockhead Nation if I'm starting off on

8
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.759
a more somber approach with this podcast. But the truth is,

9
00:00:55.439 --> 00:00:57.240
even though I am a teacher by day and a

10
00:00:57.280 --> 00:01:00.280
podcaster by weekend, and I love coming on every Saturday

11
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.439
and talking to all of you the Blockhead Nation, I

12
00:01:03.600 --> 00:01:06.959
have to stop and take a moment. We have got

13
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:12.280
an ongoing tragedy happening in my home state of Texas.

14
00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:16.239
It is not good. So if I can catch those

15
00:01:16.280 --> 00:01:20.040
that are listening up at this point, we as far

16
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:24.159
as the as far as where the worst has happened

17
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.319
in the state of Texas. It seems like in northeast

18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:29.400
San Angelo has been the worst. We got a lot

19
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:31.920
involved in the rescue efforts over there. We are in

20
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.920
search of reported missing citizens. So it is it is

21
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.840
just not good. And also when people go could you

22
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:43.920
have evacuated soon or not really, because when it came

23
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.799
to the river rising twenty six feet in a matter

24
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.280
of forty five minutes. This is worse than a hurricane

25
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.359
storm surge in many ways. Nobody could have planned for this.

26
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:58.680
It's truly a tragedy. It's not anyone's fault. We've got

27
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:02.159
Camp Mystic that has been horribly hit by this tragedy,

28
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.079
the weather people, the police department. There's really nobody else

29
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.560
to blame except it's a heartbreaking natural disaster that no

30
00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.840
one saw coming. So at this point, I just pray

31
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.159
for those that are trying to get caught up what's

32
00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:20.039
going on with Camp Mystic and in the flash floods

33
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.360
in Kerr County that have happened in the last twenty

34
00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:26.199
four hours with twenty four lives plus. That continues to

35
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:28.199
change with the numbers that come in. I'm only as

36
00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.560
good as the information presented to me. It seems like

37
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:35.120
we've had about eight hundred rescued at this point, but again,

38
00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:37.719
the numbers keep coming in. It's hard to wrap our

39
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.159
heads around this. It's hard to keep up with it

40
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:44.319
in current time, so it's heartbreaking. It's truly heavy for

41
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:46.759
me to bring this to just a reminder of how

42
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.479
fast our lives can change. So those of you that

43
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.159
have not been affected by this, I pray that you

44
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:55.159
hold your families closer, you hold your kids closer, and

45
00:02:55.240 --> 00:02:58.520
you pray for the first responders tonight. So we are

46
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:02.240
still Texas strong. We're holding Texas close tonight as we

47
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.120
bring all this up. So that's the best I can

48
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.599
give you For those that are needing shelter. I know

49
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.159
there have been a lot of churches that have reached

50
00:03:09.199 --> 00:03:12.520
out since July fourth this has happened, and those who

51
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.560
want to give monetary donations, I'm gonna put the link

52
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:19.560
up for SAA found dot org on my podcast today.

53
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:21.199
If you go to the blog, you will see that

54
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.919
to get access. So I wanted to just make sure

55
00:03:23.919 --> 00:03:25.360
I got that out of the way quickly. I don't

56
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.199
want to go past this too quickly. It's just it's

57
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:33.159
not good. And prayers for everybody that have been affected

58
00:03:33.400 --> 00:03:36.039
at this point, that's the best medicine that I can

59
00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:40.039
bring to the table. Blockhead Nation is are all sovereign

60
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.599
and powerful God who knew about this, and we just

61
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:48.680
pray once again for any healing, any comfort that He

62
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.479
can bring So if you have not been affected, if

63
00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.319
you've been watching what's been going on in the news,

64
00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:56.800
I'm sorry. I start off quickly at that. That really

65
00:03:56.879 --> 00:04:00.319
changed my direction within less than a day what I

66
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:02.759
was going to start my podcast with. But we we

67
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:04.919
give love to those that are infected in Kerr County,

68
00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:08.800
especially over at Camp Mystic, and we'll see if we

69
00:04:08.800 --> 00:04:11.840
can stay updated on what's going on with that by

70
00:04:11.879 --> 00:04:15.319
next week, maybe have a better accurate account of what's

71
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:17.680
going on. So as a podcaster, as a person who's

72
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:20.759
a content creator, and a person who this is on

73
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:26.920
the back doorstep of my home, it just hurts. And

74
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.920
so I bring that to you first and foremost Blockhead Nation,

75
00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:33.639
as we continue to pray for those efforts. If you

76
00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:37.319
happen to be new to this show, it seems really

77
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.199
unorthodox to think that this is a podcast where I

78
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:43.639
talk about the Peanuts and mix mixed martial arts. You've

79
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:47.720
got the Peanuts such an innocent world, when really Charles

80
00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.680
Schultz had so many layers to the onion it's unbelievable.

81
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:52.560
The more you peel back, the more we're gonna find

82
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.959
out how effective Charles Schultz's life Sparky was to so

83
00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:00.720
many for so long, for so many decades, even after

84
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:04.000
that with the animated movie and the Charles Schultz Museum

85
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.279
that does great work, and even more that i'll talk

86
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:09.759
about today. To take that and then shift into a

87
00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.680
sport like mixed martial arts, like the UFC, you got

88
00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:16.319
to understand I save part two for this podcast. That's

89
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.079
where I talk all mixed martial arts. Okay, that's where

90
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.439
I talk about what's going on in the world of fighting. Okay,

91
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:26.120
that sport doesn't slow down. There is no off season,

92
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.680
so I've got to stay on top of those topics

93
00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.279
and do my best to bring that to you. So

94
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.160
I'm speaking all that just in case you are new

95
00:05:35.240 --> 00:05:37.839
to this show. Three things are always talking about. Number One,

96
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:42.000
God is King, even in tragedy, even when we suffer,

97
00:05:42.439 --> 00:05:46.040
we identify with our savior, the Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus.

98
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.399
Second of all, Peanuts is absolutely the single most successful

99
00:05:51.399 --> 00:05:54.600
comic strip in American history, and there's even more layers

100
00:05:54.600 --> 00:05:56.759
to it, from the comic strip to the TV series

101
00:05:57.079 --> 00:06:02.480
to how most of you enjoy the seasonal episodes like

102
00:06:02.680 --> 00:06:06.519
the Great Pumpkin You've Got, the Christmas episode, the Thanksgiving episode,

103
00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:09.480
so many more and it's it's nice a matter of

104
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.240
time before the Great Pumpkin's gonna take flight. It's only

105
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:15.759
a few months away. So we always mentioned that on

106
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.279
this part and third, mixed martial arts is the greatest

107
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:22.040
sport under God's hot sun. And very quickly, it's almost

108
00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.920
like we put a syringe into the arm of mixed

109
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:27.600
martial arts. And now it's getting super exciting from this

110
00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.199
point and a little bit confusing. So I will do

111
00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.639
my best on that end. But it's very unorthodox to

112
00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:37.439
do something like this, and this is why this won't

113
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.279
be everybody's cup of tea. You're welcome to come by.

114
00:06:40.439 --> 00:06:42.879
Your kids are always safe with me. You're not gonna

115
00:06:42.879 --> 00:06:45.240
hear any four letter words, But I apologize if those

116
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:49.720
that tuned in last week Herd Nate use several choice words,

117
00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:51.680
because that's my guest. What I do is I roll

118
00:06:51.720 --> 00:06:54.319
out the red carpet from my guests. You'll never hear

119
00:06:54.399 --> 00:06:56.639
me use profanity. But I'm not gonna tell a grown

120
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:58.680
man how to talk on a podcast. That's just not

121
00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.759
gonna happen. And that's not me excusing or defending Nate.

122
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:05.879
It's just that's what I should have probably done a

123
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:09.399
better job of sharing some explicit content there used to

124
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:11.399
be back in the day. You can take CDs and

125
00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:13.759
you can put on their parental advisory. If you listen

126
00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.879
to this, whether it was urban hip hop or if

127
00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:21.000
it was heavy metal, you knew that what you were getting.

128
00:07:21.079 --> 00:07:22.600
Some of them back in the day had something called

129
00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:25.560
eighteen to purchase. Still remember that to this day, but

130
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:28.000
it's a little different now. So I apologize that my

131
00:07:28.079 --> 00:07:31.720
disclaimer was not up for Nate from last week, but

132
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:34.399
I don't apologize with the episode. I had a great

133
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:36.800
time and I'll talk about that on the second part

134
00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:39.680
of this episode. But get into the Peanuts, as I

135
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:44.959
always do. There's something to be said about even though

136
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:49.480
mine is not commonplace. If you look at what Charles

137
00:07:49.519 --> 00:07:54.680
Schultz enjoyed in his lifetime, even though he was located

138
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:58.000
in Santa Rosa, California, where the Charles Schultz Museum is,

139
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:01.639
you'll find out that and there was there were interest

140
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:03.920
that he had. He had a daily routine. He would

141
00:08:03.959 --> 00:08:06.040
go to the Warm Puppy, he would have his breakfast.

142
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.319
They always knew what to have for him. Then he

143
00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:11.040
would go to his little studio, his little office, and

144
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:12.920
he would work and then he'd go back to lunch

145
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:17.000
in the same cafe, but not far away from that

146
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.439
was a local skating rink. So his interests might be

147
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.160
a little bit more ubiquitous as you look at where

148
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.480
he enjoyed the skating rink that was not far away

149
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:30.839
from there. Plus he was also interested in hockey. Okay,

150
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.440
around nineteen sixty nine, if I understand this right, Schultz

151
00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:38.279
actually built something called the Redwood Empire Ice Arena. And

152
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.320
it's more than just the ice rink. When he first

153
00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:43.759
got there, when he moved from Minnesota to Santa Rosa,

154
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:47.759
you did have a ice arena run by a few brothers.

155
00:08:47.759 --> 00:08:51.840
They're the Baxter brothers, and at that time he got

156
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:55.120
very involved in watching skating, but he also got involved

157
00:08:55.159 --> 00:08:58.440
in the local hockey arena, the local hockey teams that

158
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:01.679
were there, so he still carried his passion over there

159
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.360
and those are very connected. There is an episode again.

160
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:09.200
I've had the pleasure to talk to the original Peppermint Patty,

161
00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.639
the voiceover from the nineteen seventies, and she is well

162
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:15.399
known for her work in She's a Good Skate Charlie Brown.

163
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:19.600
So it wasn't just that Charles Schultz was mentioning a

164
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:24.559
favorite pastime of Americans at that time. With skating, he

165
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:28.240
was showing you what he truly enjoyed, which was the

166
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.639
ice rink. And also there was a crossover between that

167
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:34.120
and hockey because Peppermint Pey had to deal with a

168
00:09:34.159 --> 00:09:37.600
couple of anti quote neckheads who decided to say, you

169
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.559
need to get your tippy toe skates off the ice

170
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:42.120
because we're gonna play hockey. There's a whole scene of that,

171
00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.039
and she's a good skate Charlie Brown. It's pretty hilarious.

172
00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:49.919
But because those guys had the original rank, that means

173
00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:53.240
Charles Schultz went out and built another ice arena around

174
00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.279
nineteen sixty nine and it's become a place for people

175
00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:58.720
to come together and not only enjoy skating, but you

176
00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:02.879
have birthday par there. You got hockey tournaments, world class

177
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.720
performances that are happening in the world of figure skating.

178
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:10.480
So Snoopy's Home Ice, that's what it's known for in

179
00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:15.440
Santa Rosa is such an iconic skating arena that brings

180
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.360
the Snoopy characters to life, and you get to have

181
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:23.320
the skating directors and former show performers there that will

182
00:10:23.360 --> 00:10:26.039
take you a walk down memory lane. So it's not

183
00:10:26.440 --> 00:10:30.840
just that Charles Shultz me them. Charles Schultz has expounded

184
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:34.440
so much into that area that so many that want

185
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:36.279
to go to Santa Rosa and get a piece of

186
00:10:36.320 --> 00:10:41.159
his life, you can easily do that. So I haven't

187
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.720
mentioned that one before, but I love the line that

188
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:47.720
he used. And she's a good skate Charlie Brown. There

189
00:10:47.759 --> 00:10:49.720
was a part where they clear the ice and Snoopy

190
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:53.679
comes out on a zamboni, once again shown in how

191
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:58.159
interchangeable Snoopy truly was. And Charlie Brown makes a comment,

192
00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.600
it's so much truth to it. It's so simple but

193
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.799
so profound. He says, there are three things that everybody

194
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:11.120
stares at. A flowing stream, which is true, a crackling

195
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:16.000
fire very true, and third and a zamboni clearing the ice.

196
00:11:18.159 --> 00:11:20.320
Anytime that I would go to any ice rink or

197
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:22.799
any skating arena, or if I went to a hockey game,

198
00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.759
if they had the zambonies out, I paid more attention

199
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:28.759
to that than I did anything else going on on

200
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.559
the ice. So I admit that it is a time

201
00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.320
for you to go get refreshments. It's time to go

202
00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.879
to the restroom. But you'll notice, even while people are

203
00:11:35.879 --> 00:11:40.240
having conversations, they don't their eyes don't deviate away from

204
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:43.399
where the ice rink is. So I don't think that

205
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.519
he's exaggerating. I think that Schultz was telling the absolute

206
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:53.000
truth on that one. But again, those commonplace interests he

207
00:11:53.080 --> 00:11:55.960
brought into the comic strip, he brought into the TV shows,

208
00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:59.720
and Sparky did just a beautiful job. So in the

209
00:11:59.720 --> 00:12:03.879
MIDI it's a tragedy, I also bring not only prayers

210
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.759
of hope, prayers of restoration, but I show you the

211
00:12:07.799 --> 00:12:11.639
true character that Charles Schultz was. I remember talking to

212
00:12:12.559 --> 00:12:15.919
Patricia Patz Peppermint Pattia, and I said to her, if

213
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:20.559
Charles Schultz had not been a comic strip artist and

214
00:12:20.600 --> 00:12:22.279
had not had the caree end, he might have been

215
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:25.200
a very good American history teacher. And then she mentioned

216
00:12:25.559 --> 00:12:28.080
or he would have been a good pastor. This is

217
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.320
a man who knew the truth, who knew the word,

218
00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.039
and he would subtly use that in his comic strips,

219
00:12:34.279 --> 00:12:37.679
even something as simple as an ice rink. He knew

220
00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.720
how to bring joy, but he brought truth to the

221
00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:45.120
Peanuts family. That's what I always wish to do, even

222
00:12:45.159 --> 00:12:48.279
though I might have something that's very unorthodox here. For

223
00:12:48.360 --> 00:12:52.279
those that stick around and want to keep hearing, I

224
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.879
bring you the truth as we dive into the scripture

225
00:12:55.919 --> 00:13:09.000
of the day of what's going on before its martial arts.

226
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:13.480
Our scripturian for this podcast comes from tewod Timothy chapter

227
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:18.360
one per seven. For God hath not given us the

228
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:24.759
spirit of fear, but of power and of love and

229
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:29.240
of a sound mind. Reflection from Blue Lair Bible says,

230
00:13:29.240 --> 00:13:32.039
as opposed to a spirit of fear, we are given

231
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:36.759
a spirit of adoption, that we may be called sons

232
00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.720
of God. That the whole Romans chapter eight goes into

233
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:44.320
detail about the very Spirit of God has bestowed all

234
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:49.080
power and love and grace upon us Blockhead Nation. By

235
00:13:49.200 --> 00:13:52.960
this we have become heirs to the Most High, for

236
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.320
we are a new creation in His character. We have

237
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:02.320
been delivered and glorified by through the power and love

238
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.440
of the Holy Spirit. So that's my prayer as we

239
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:08.039
continue to face these tragedies in Texas as we can

240
00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.399
to get these updates, that we not have a spirit

241
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:14.759
of fear, that God is still in control, trust his power,

242
00:14:15.519 --> 00:14:20.519
trust his love to give you a sound mind. Now

243
00:14:20.559 --> 00:14:23.679
when it comes to what's going on in the UFC.

244
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.720
I'm only going to go into two bullet points, and

245
00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.000
I really don't have much more in front of me, because,

246
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.320
first of all, I have so much gratitude for the

247
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.840
fact that Nate the rock Quarry came on this little

248
00:14:35.879 --> 00:14:40.000
podcast and spoke to this man who for nine years

249
00:14:40.039 --> 00:14:44.279
has always wanted to have a podcast like what I

250
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:49.240
heard nine years ago in twenty sixteen when Nate was

251
00:14:49.279 --> 00:14:52.919
on You're Welcome with Chill sonnin So if you go

252
00:14:52.960 --> 00:14:56.600
back and listen to my episode, there were some connectivity issues,

253
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:58.720
but either way, we powered through them, and Nate was

254
00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.919
so gracious. Everything he answered clarified so much for me

255
00:15:03.039 --> 00:15:07.600
about the story of Team Quest, about his journey, and

256
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:10.159
it was so spot on with what it's almost like,

257
00:15:10.519 --> 00:15:14.000
word for word everything he talked about years ago, he

258
00:15:14.080 --> 00:15:16.159
told it in the very same fashion. So you know

259
00:15:16.200 --> 00:15:18.960
that Nate has nothing to cover up. He tells the truth.

260
00:15:19.759 --> 00:15:23.639
So I say that just because when I said something

261
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:28.600
about in this topic, in this title for this podcast,

262
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.279
it says he spoke it into existence. I am talking

263
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:38.600
about jail. At this point, nine years later, we have

264
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.799
Chail Son and at the broadcast booth. Well, really behind

265
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.919
the scenes. He had done a pre show for UFC

266
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:49.360
three seventeen. Okay, we're already coming off the back end

267
00:15:49.360 --> 00:15:54.080
of that. We saw how Gregory Rodriguez mercilessly knocks out

268
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:57.879
Jack Harmanson to end the main car. The prelim cards

269
00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:00.360
into the main card. He had a pretty good fight

270
00:16:01.080 --> 00:16:05.039
between Talbot and Lima. You know, pretty good show of

271
00:16:05.080 --> 00:16:07.519
athlesism with both guys. I think the right man got

272
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:09.360
his hand raised. Talbot did a little bit better in

273
00:16:09.399 --> 00:16:13.279
the second and third round. You did have Bnel Darruche

274
00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:16.399
who surprised all of us and giving us a very

275
00:16:16.440 --> 00:16:21.159
good performance against Ronaldo m Wakano. You had Joshua Van

276
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:26.559
who gave Brandon roy Val. Every time that Brandon would

277
00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:30.039
respond with a combination, Vaughn would come back with six

278
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:34.480
or seven. Okay, So a clear unanimous decision to josh

279
00:16:34.559 --> 00:16:37.000
Vaughan in the flyaways. What was really exciting about that

280
00:16:37.159 --> 00:16:39.320
is not only does he come from Houston, so I

281
00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:43.080
have bragging rights, and then he goes and sits cage

282
00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:47.480
side for the co main event, which is Pantosia against

283
00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:51.000
kay Car France, who Kay Car France. From the second

284
00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:55.600
that they started the fight, he was just outclassed against

285
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:58.799
the champion. But to know that Vaughan is sitting cage

286
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:03.840
side with his fight's over. You have the hand raised

287
00:17:03.879 --> 00:17:07.440
of the champion, Alexander Pantoja, asking how it feels about

288
00:17:07.720 --> 00:17:13.279
Vaughn's performance the fight before. So Vaughn literally leaves the cage,

289
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:19.039
goes back, comes back to sit in for the Comaane

290
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:22.000
gets to make mental notes as he's sitting there and

291
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:24.920
watching this, and they call him into the cage for

292
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:28.559
a stare down blocking Nation. You have not seen that

293
00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.799
often in the flyweight division. We've seen many fights where

294
00:17:31.839 --> 00:17:34.400
they have had a standoff. You had one in the

295
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:37.480
in the main event as well, which didn't surprise a

296
00:17:37.480 --> 00:17:40.000
lot of MMA fans who've been following for a while.

297
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.720
But you don't often see the flyweights get their moment

298
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:49.400
where Vaughn when there's nothing else to do. And I know,

299
00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:52.079
I promise I'll get to the point about speaking into existence,

300
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.440
but I gotta walk through this how Roy Vall's already

301
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:59.559
been beaten by Pantosia, the champion. Pantoja has already beaten

302
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.799
Brandon Raval. He just beat the number four guy soundly.

303
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:07.920
So Joshua Vaughn is a fresh coat of paint. Even

304
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.119
though he may not be ranked high in the rankings

305
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.799
either way, this is just exciting for Vaughan to be

306
00:18:13.839 --> 00:18:16.039
there and have a stare down with the champ who's

307
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.079
willing to say, give this guy a shot. The great

308
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:23.720
leveler is the cage itself, and we finally have that

309
00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:25.759
with the Flywys, who Dana White has not been a

310
00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.119
fan of for so many years. So I was really

311
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.400
excited about the co main event. So the main event,

312
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:33.759
I have to go back to Chail for a second.

313
00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.440
The title of this episode is he spoke it into existence.

314
00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:42.400
One thing you gotta be careful about, and I fall

315
00:18:42.440 --> 00:18:46.119
for it too often. There really is such a thing

316
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:52.000
as the Chail curse. But something that Nate Corey said

317
00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.200
in my last episode is so true that it's scary.

318
00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:59.799
One thing that Nate is so impressed with with chaille

319
00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.680
on it is this is a guy who can step

320
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:09.720
into any arena in MMA. He can go cross promotional

321
00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:16.960
when others can't or won't. In other words, Chail could

322
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:21.160
be sitting at a Belator event one night in Budapest,

323
00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.480
next thing you know, he's on a plane to go

324
00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:27.240
to New York for a UFC event, then he's gonna

325
00:19:27.279 --> 00:19:31.079
jump on a plane to Japan for one championship. This

326
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:34.160
is something that Chail can do that the other organizations

327
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:39.400
can't or won't. Why because they hate each other, Because

328
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:42.359
we're not gonna allow competition in the UFC just wants

329
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:44.640
to swallow it whole. The big fish wants to swallow

330
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:50.400
the small fish. There's not cross promotional fights, but Sunning

331
00:19:51.480 --> 00:19:54.000
can go to any one of those with open arms,

332
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:58.799
and he can do broadcasting, he could be doing interviews,

333
00:19:59.119 --> 00:20:01.079
he could be doing the business side of it and

334
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:03.480
sit in on This is something Chail has been able

335
00:20:03.519 --> 00:20:08.799
to do that nobody else can and it's happened again.

336
00:20:09.400 --> 00:20:12.519
One thing, even though you shouldn't trust Jail as far

337
00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.680
as his predictions for fights, he doesn't have a good

338
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:18.319
track record on that. Neither do I. There is such

339
00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.680
thing as a Drake curse, there is such thing as

340
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.000
a Chail son and curse, and there is such thing

341
00:20:24.039 --> 00:20:26.880
as a wifeb curse. Because if I'm lucky, I get

342
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:29.119
three out of five of them right in the main card.

343
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:31.559
When people call me on my predictions and so who

344
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:35.079
you got, well, I have to almost look past all

345
00:20:35.119 --> 00:20:39.880
of my historical references and knowing if this is a

346
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.519
striker versus a grappler, pass all of my analysis and go,

347
00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:46.200
I'm going with this, and I'm choosing it, and I

348
00:20:46.200 --> 00:20:49.079
gotta stand with it. Happens all the time with this

349
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:52.119
little podcaster who's just a fan, mind you, nothing more

350
00:20:52.160 --> 00:20:55.720
than an MMA fan who's had the pleasure to speak

351
00:20:55.759 --> 00:21:00.000
to four different MMA fighters and others in the MMA community.

352
00:20:59.759 --> 00:21:03.319
But my record's not good. Chailes is not good either,

353
00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:09.119
but what can he do? He can still speak things

354
00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:13.960
into existence? Do you want proof of that? UFC three

355
00:21:14.039 --> 00:21:21.240
seventeen main event, Elia Taporia versus Charles Olivera, chall said,

356
00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:24.079
if I'm getting this as close as I possibly can,

357
00:21:24.640 --> 00:21:28.200
If Charles Olivera gets this fight and he defeats Elia

358
00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:31.720
to Puria, there's nothing left to do except to face

359
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:35.720
armand Serukion, who has already missed Wade, who's had a

360
00:21:35.799 --> 00:21:39.160
back injury and he's been ranked number one in the contendership.

361
00:21:39.279 --> 00:21:42.440
There's nothing else to do except armand Seruki on versus

362
00:21:42.440 --> 00:21:46.720
Elia Toporia. But if Elia to Pooria, I'm sorry versus

363
00:21:46.799 --> 00:21:51.920
Charles Olivera. If Elia Toporia wins, then the only thing

364
00:21:51.960 --> 00:21:54.160
that you can do. I guarantee this is what Chail

365
00:21:54.240 --> 00:21:59.200
said in the pre show. He said that if Eliotaporia wins,

366
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:03.400
he will call out Patty the Batty, who is sitting

367
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:08.160
cage side. Patty will come into the cage and they

368
00:22:08.200 --> 00:22:11.000
will have a face off. And there you have the

369
00:22:11.119 --> 00:22:15.119
people's fight. Even though you can look at it and

370
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:18.319
go well, Justin Gachee has been itching for a fight

371
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:20.960
for a long time. He's ranked number three and he's

372
00:22:20.960 --> 00:22:22.920
got some valid points on why he should face the

373
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:27.920
champion next. Even when Islam was holding the belt, there

374
00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:29.839
wasn't much more to go off of. Then you have

375
00:22:29.839 --> 00:22:33.119
our Montseruki on you have a couple of options. They've

376
00:22:33.160 --> 00:22:37.440
already asked post fight if Eliot Taporio wants Patty the Batty.

377
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:42.599
Absolutely he does. And what happened. The fight's over. Elio

378
00:22:42.680 --> 00:22:47.200
Taporia viciously knocks out Charles olivera first round. We have

379
00:22:47.400 --> 00:22:50.359
our pound for pound best fighter in the UFC right now,

380
00:22:50.640 --> 00:22:53.319
the closest thing we've had as a double champ to

381
00:22:53.480 --> 00:22:58.799
Connor McGregor in a long time. But what happens He

382
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:01.200
looks right at Patty to ask him who he wants,

383
00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:04.279
Patty the Batty is allowed to come in the cage,

384
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:07.759
we have a face off, we have words exchanged, and

385
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.440
Eliot Taporia pushes Patty out of frustration, and what do

386
00:23:12.519 --> 00:23:15.599
you have after that? Chill had even said that Patty

387
00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:19.319
will be sitting here at the broadcast booth if this happens.

388
00:23:19.400 --> 00:23:21.839
So let's go through the events. Chill said in pre

389
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:27.079
show of You'll See three seventeen. If Elia wins, Patty

390
00:23:27.079 --> 00:23:29.519
the Batty will be called out. He will come into

391
00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:31.680
the cage, they will have a face off, and he

392
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:34.759
will be sitting here in the broadcast booth with us

393
00:23:35.119 --> 00:23:37.839
post fight. While you have the press conference going on

394
00:23:37.880 --> 00:23:40.400
with Eliot Taporia, we will be talking to Patty the

395
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:46.599
Batty and what happened, Blockhead Nation, he spoke that into existence.

396
00:23:47.960 --> 00:23:52.640
That's exactly what happened. There's no fight that the Double

397
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:56.319
Champ wants more than Patty the Batty pimphlet. There's no

398
00:23:56.440 --> 00:24:00.200
bigger fight that will draw in more eyes and then

399
00:24:00.440 --> 00:24:05.759
Spain versus Cage Warriors, Liverpool's guy, Patty the Batty pimplet

400
00:24:06.519 --> 00:24:09.200
and you've already had the face off, regardless of how

401
00:24:09.319 --> 00:24:13.039
Dana felt about it, saying this is not what we wanted. Well,

402
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:15.680
take a look at what the crowd wants take over

403
00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:17.880
the MMA community is frothen at the mouth, or take

404
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:20.799
a look at what your champ wants, because your other

405
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:25.400
option is Armanseruchion, who's already on the bad list, the

406
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:28.599
naughty list from the UFC for many times he's pulled

407
00:24:28.599 --> 00:24:32.359
out with injuries and cutting weight. Who justin Gachee is

408
00:24:32.400 --> 00:24:36.079
a great option, But what's a better option. There's already

409
00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:39.000
been bad beef between Eliot to Puria and Patty the

410
00:24:39.039 --> 00:24:42.880
Batty going back a few years. It's all there, the

411
00:24:42.960 --> 00:24:48.680
dots connect. But Chale spoke this into existence. I am

412
00:24:48.799 --> 00:24:53.000
in awe just like Nate is of how not only

413
00:24:53.039 --> 00:24:55.720
cross promotional he is, but he can speak these things

414
00:24:55.720 --> 00:25:02.920
into existence. Now. Is there somebody else that's something into existence? Yes,

415
00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:07.640
blockhead Nation, I'm talking about the President of the United States.

416
00:25:09.240 --> 00:25:14.640
What did he say in twenty twenty six for the

417
00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:17.720
anniversary of two hundred and fifty years of America standing tall,

418
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:23.440
that there's going to be a UFC cage constructed on

419
00:25:23.519 --> 00:25:27.519
the White House lawn and you're going to have a fight.

420
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:29.720
We don't have any names thrown out there yet. We

421
00:25:29.759 --> 00:25:32.880
can all speculate on would this be the place where

422
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:36.160
we finally get Connor McGregor to come back to face

423
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:41.160
Michael Chandler. The buzz is already there. But how ironic

424
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:48.279
that after the President mentions this has far into an

425
00:25:48.319 --> 00:25:53.960
idea and is so diabolical in many ways for this

426
00:25:54.039 --> 00:25:58.240
to become a reality out of nowhere you have John Jones,

427
00:25:58.240 --> 00:26:00.920
who's already saying on social media, well, I'm back in

428
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.400
the testing poll again. Okay, So if the owner of

429
00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:11.200
the UFC can't pull off John Jones versus Tom aspinall,

430
00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:14.799
if Hunter Campbell and Sean Shelby can't pull it off,

431
00:26:15.960 --> 00:26:20.559
I'm guessing that what can't be made done for the

432
00:26:20.680 --> 00:26:25.480
MMA community, the President of the United States can do it.

433
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:28.880
Now are we going to get those fights? I can't

434
00:26:28.920 --> 00:26:32.440
guarantee anything. If there's anyone that I can see being

435
00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.039
welcome with open arms, just for how insane he is

436
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:38.039
and how much of a Trump fan he truly is.

437
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.880
I can understand somebody like Colby Coventson or Bryce Mitchell

438
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:44.799
being on this card, but we don't have anything confirmed

439
00:26:44.799 --> 00:26:47.559
as of right now. This is just from the mouth

440
00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:50.839
of the President of the United States, who I was

441
00:26:51.319 --> 00:26:53.559
many times my kids would say to me when I'm

442
00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.319
teaching them, you know you should become the next president. No,

443
00:26:58.160 --> 00:27:01.720
I would have the Andrew Jackson. I would get fired

444
00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.640
within a week. I would open up the doors to

445
00:27:04.680 --> 00:27:06.680
the White House and say come have a party, just

446
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:10.559
like Jackson did. Got kind of out of control, but

447
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.240
that's what I would probably do. And I mentioned something

448
00:27:13.240 --> 00:27:15.839
about I would have a UFC cage constructed on the

449
00:27:15.839 --> 00:27:19.440
South lawn and start bringing If you Republicans and Democrats

450
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:21.400
want to solve this, here's your chance to do it.

451
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:25.720
Red gloves and blue gloves, just like Bellator. You're Republicans

452
00:27:25.759 --> 00:27:29.480
versus Democrats, where we can really solve some beefs. And

453
00:27:29.519 --> 00:27:32.000
I would fly in on Air Force one. I would

454
00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:35.839
bring in guys like Chail Son. I'd bring in MMA

455
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:39.039
referens like Herb Dean, or I would bring in John

456
00:27:39.119 --> 00:27:41.319
McCarthy out of retirement to work one of these for

457
00:27:41.400 --> 00:27:43.960
one night. Mike Beltrant. I'd bring these guys in if

458
00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.680
I could, and I'd get fired in a week. I've

459
00:27:46.720 --> 00:27:51.000
always jokingly said that the President has declared there will

460
00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:55.079
be a UFC fight on the White House lawn in

461
00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:59.880
twenty twenty six, he stole my thunder Blockhead Nation. He

462
00:28:00.160 --> 00:28:04.400
took my idea, but he could get something done that

463
00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:09.559
the UFC organization can't. You want Colin McGregor versus Michael

464
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:13.319
Channer to finally happen. It might happen here. You finally

465
00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:16.440
might get an American guy, John Jones versus the beloved

466
00:28:16.519 --> 00:28:19.119
UK guy Tom aspinallt you finally might have it here.

467
00:28:21.720 --> 00:28:28.599
Fascinating times. Your president spoke this into existence. Chail spoke

468
00:28:28.640 --> 00:28:31.039
things into an existence, but so did the president of

469
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:34.920
the United States. Where they can't get it done. I'm

470
00:28:34.960 --> 00:28:37.359
still baffled. My head is still spinning on all this

471
00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.359
blockhead Nation, and I might be able to give you

472
00:28:40.359 --> 00:28:44.200
a little more clarity come next week, even though there's

473
00:28:44.200 --> 00:28:46.680
not a UFC event going on, I might be able

474
00:28:46.720 --> 00:28:49.200
to bring some things together for our next event coming up.

475
00:28:49.359 --> 00:28:52.640
So we will catch you next week. Blockhead Nation, same

476
00:28:52.680 --> 00:29:05.160
blockhead time, same blockhead channel. Way to the the way

477
00:29:05.400 --> 00:29:09.599
do they
