TUFdate #1!

What's up everyone!
So its that time again, video production has finally ramped up to a point where there's actually some identifiable footage to tell you about. I'm up to roughly 18 minutes of recorded dialogue, with about 10 minutes of completed video, in just a little over 1 weeks worth of work!
Its kicking off with a brief recap of life in the early 2010s, and straight into season 11 of TUF, Team Chuck vs Team Tito. I should warn you all in advance though, with season 11 being a bit of a lame season, I'm forced to discuss the rivalry between Chuck and Tito, and may god forgive me, but I'm actually writing some favourable things about Tito. It goes against everything I believe in, but in the spirit of fairness, I guess occasionally you have to swallow some bitter cheese and wine.
Oh, and if you want to hear some real shit, in the course of researching this video, for shits and giggles, I decided to see if i could buy Tito's old website, www.tito-ortiz.com. Its been dormant for god knows how long at this point, but I was still quoted $7,999 to buy the domain. Even if i had 8 grand just sitting in my wallet doing nothing, I still would rather flush it down the toilet than buy Titos old Geocities website for that kind of cash.
The video is coming along well anyway, I'm pretty happy with what I've got so far, and im looking forward to seeing where it goes. Tho by now, we've definitely seen the best of TUF and the seasons only get less and less interesting, so it'll be a challenge to make a good video about them.
In other news, I did another podcast with Seanbaby and Robert Brockway on Friday, discussing the dogshit self defence tips offered by Youtube channel Troom Troom. It was pretty fucking fun even if the subject matter was honestly some of the most painful stuff I've had to sit through in years. Watching the 6 10 minute videos we talk about legitimately took me an entire week to consume them all, its genuinely that difficult to watch. Ill post a link to the pod when it goes up!
In other channel non-news but something that I was still pretty happy about, the Folly of Fantasy Based Fighting is now officially my 2nd video to hit 1million+ views! Sadly neither it nor the madness of make believe martial arts (almost 3mil views) are monetizable, so I never earned a cent off them, but fuck it! Its still cool to have multiple videos with such a huge view count.
That's about it for now, I hope all of you are doing well, and thank you again one and all for your support. So just bleed, and I'll catch you next week

Well if we are at Tito confessions, I was such a huge fan of his in the early UFC days. When you never heard him talk, early days Tito was f´ing terrifying. Extremely skilled compared to the competition, and unlike the 7 billion fighters nicknamed "Pitbull" he actually looked like one. The jumping straight up as high as the fence, while waiting to smash people, didn´t hurt his image either. Early days Tito, is a prime example of the genius of Dana White, my god he sold him well. The whole Tito vs Dana thing actually taught me a lot about Tito, Dana and fight promotion. I think it was around the time of the Randy spanking, I got wiser. I kinda miss, the crazy sparring partner of Tank Abbot, version of Tito I had in my mind back then, Prime cringe is still Tito vs Shamrock though, oh boy that was bad.

It’s all good man, honestly as long as the Patrons are happy that’s all I care about!

Well you’re no Hbomberguy but you’re pretty progressive, i.e a basically decent humanoid and have quite a few million type view things, might be worth a shot? If I’m yammering on about something that’s none of my business then I apologise, I just think it’s crap that creators don’t get a share of the wealth when you bring eyeballs to the platform
