Kicked in the nuts vs punched in the face: which hurts more?

UFC fans love chaos until it shows up as bad refereeing, weird incentives, and title fights that do not match the label. We go rapid fire through recent UFC Fight Night storylines and land hard on UFC 326, where performance bonuses stack up early, controversy spikes fast, and the debates get louder with every round.

We break down what stood out on the Strickland vs Anthony Hernandez card, why some finishes feel like automatic bonuses, and how a single win can jump a fighter into rankings talk. From the Mexico card, we hit the highs like King Green reminding everyone he is still dangerous, then we get blunt about uneven performances and what happens when a “save it for later rounds” plan backfires.

UFC 326 is the centerpiece: the Cody Garbrandt foul mess raises real questions about point deductions and when a disqualification is the only responsible call. We also talk knockouts, betting odds movement chatter, and how MMA memes can spill into a fighter’s real life. Then we tackle the biggest argument: Charles Oliveira vs Max Holloway for the BMF belt, and whether “anything to win” can ever satisfy fans who want stand and bang.

To finish, we preview upcoming matchups and pivot into our Reddit would you rather segment with prompts that get surprisingly intense.

Welcome And Format Setup

SPEAKER_02 0:16

Welcome back, dear listeners, to Peak Points. Today we are going to view a rapid fire UFC segment covering a variety of topics, but primarily focusing on UFC 326. And then we'll have our usual Reddit segment. So with that, let's get into the octagon.

Strickland Vs Hernandez Fight Night

SPEAKER_01 0:38

Oh yeah, we got some cards to talk about today. I'm very excited about what's going on specifically with UFC 326 that passed. But there's a couple other ones that will bring up right now. That UFC fight night, Saturday, February 21st, that was Strickland versus Anthony Hernandez.

SPEAKER_02 1:00

There were a number of good fights that night.

SPEAKER_01 1:03

That night was very exciting. And uh which kind of I'm kind of questioning why there wasn't more bonuses on that card alone. Uh but very exciting nonetheless.

SPEAKER_02 1:17

Right. I think it might have been just uh given the hype that the fights have been gaining or getting via this Paramount platform and all that and some of the absolute bangers that we've been seeing by those standards, they thought, well, maybe we don't need to hand out so many bonuses for for what we're seeing tonight. Right. But after seeing a couple other fights and a few that are planned for the future, maybe they need to rethink their strategy.

SPEAKER_01 1:52

And it feels like that's definitely going up. Uh I've been seeing a lot more bonuses recently, and we'll talk about that uh up ahead. Uh I'll talk about one of the fights in the prenos that excited me was that Jocelyn and Edwards versus Cornell, and Edwards with a nasty submission on her in round two. So that was a good finish. Uh Ode Osborne versus Adiris. Adiris putting a body bag on Osborne, getting that unanimous decision. And we move on to that main card, uh, Michelle Pareda versus Zach Reese. Uh Pareda did not do any flips like I was thinking he was gonna do. Rather reserved in this one.

SPEAKER_02 2:34

I don't remember him ever doing one in the past.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

Usually he does a lot of flip-a-doos.

SPEAKER_02 2:39

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 2:40

Yeah, and uh one of his signature moves, if you go to his previous fights and watch those, is if you're on the ground, he's gonna flip on your head. So I didn't see any of that though. Jacoby Smith versus Josiah Harrell after that.

SPEAKER_02 2:56

That was a good fast run or fast bout.

SPEAKER_01 3:00

Very um great performance by Jacoby Smith with that nasty knockout. However, I remember texting the group chat and saying how unhappy I was with the refereeing on this one, specifically with the stoppage at the end. I remember the ref was like taking too long to stop this fight, and you know, a lot of people are upset about about Jacoby Smith and not stopping. However, it's the ref's job to stop this, literally, it's what he's there for. And uh in this case, he took too long. Uh Josiah Herdle took way too many unanswered and unnecessary hits, and uh we can't blame the fighter when they're paid to fight, we could blame the ref when they're paid to stop the fight. Yeah. And that's how I feel.

SPEAKER_02 3:48

And he wasn't to make matters awkward, at least well not awkward, but to reinforce Jacoby Smith's position of having continued fighting as he was, was that Harold was he wa it's not like he went limp or was tapping out or anything like that, so it's literally his job to get him to give up unless the ref pulls him off.

SPEAKER_01 4:16

Exactly.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

And he wasn't giving up. He wasn't returning anything, but he wasn't giving up yet.

SPEAKER_01 4:22

After that, that heavyweight fight that actually ended up pretty being pretty exciting was that Sergei Spivak versus Auntie Delia.

SPEAKER_02 4:31

They kind of redeemed a bit of the heavyweight uh curse. A little bit, yeah. They did their part.

SPEAKER_01 4:37

They did their part, but Auntie Delia really has been kind of uh an interesting addition to the heavyweight division, being that he's pretty exciting and sort of striker friendly and moves around pretty good for a heavyweight. But obviously losing back to back.

SPEAKER_02 4:52

Not a great look.

SPEAKER_01 4:53

Not a great look. And it's kind of crazy like how we were talking about earlier off air, how a couple wins in the UFC heavyweight division, and you could face someone in the top ten, top five, top fifteen. You know, ranked at the very least. You know. So very unfortunate for Anti Delia. Uh, but I'm not too super mad about it. Yeah. But Sergei Spivak, great win. And speaking of earned. And speaking of great win, how about that Costa versus Dan Ege? Man, the Dalmatian is a very exciting fighter.

SPEAKER_02 5:30

That was uh almost a complete buzzer beater there. But I wasn't expecting a knockout right then and there. Ege was looking good. And he didn't he didn't look like he was uh wearing out or anything, so that sudden hit, I wasn't expecting it to knock him out.

SPEAKER_01 5:47

And what a beautiful strike that was spinning back kick, uh spinning back kick right like literally heel to the cheek. Yeah. Like Dan Ege's a dog, however, be cost of becoming the first to finish Dan Ige in an emphatic way is. Yeah. I just cannot, you know, I cannot give him more any flowers, you know, more flowers than that is what an exciting fighter he is.

SPEAKER_02 6:17

He earned that ranking against Ige.

SPEAKER_01 6:21

After that, Jeff Neil versus Uros Medic and guess what? Jeff Neil needed a Medic in this one, man, I swear to God. He another nasty sleeper on Jeff Neil. The last one was scary, but this one was equally as scary. And uh Urlos Medic is on a knockout tear right now. If you look at his fights, knockout, knockout, knockout, it's uh kinda nasty. You know, I I I like the little speech he did after his win. Yeah. Uh Houston, we have a problem, and the problem is me. That one was pretty That was pretty good. That was pretty good. That was pretty good, man. That was pretty good. He I guess he has some swag to him. Uh but uh man, I don't know, dude. I don't know, Jeff. I don't want to see Jeff Neil get slept like this again, dude. Like it's scary the way he's dead.

SPEAKER_02 7:17

Right.

SPEAKER_01 7:17

Like dead on the floor, like starch.

SPEAKER_02 7:20

He gets knocked out, he gets full blown knocked out.

SPEAKER_01 7:24

Uh after that, the main fight, Sean Strickland versus Anthony Hernandez. What I honestly this was a very impressive performance by Sean Strickland. And uh against someone who was really a top contender in that division.

SPEAKER_02 7:43

Yeah. Uh I gotta say I I appreciated seeing kind of vintage Strickland here. Like I mean not not fully vintage. He was actually bringing in a few new moves, it looked like he wasn't straight up teep and jab, teep and jab. Yeah. He was throwing some new moves. But the way he was carrying himself and moving forward and everything, that was what that gave me the feeling of more vintage strictly. He was as aggressive and hungry as he used to be.

SPEAKER_01 8:20

And I will add a lot of the strikes that he was hitting Anthony Hernandez were not just him being aggressive going forward, but on the back foot, was which was ultimately very impressive, and the takedown defense, which was uh actually impeccable. Uh did really well with Anthony Hernandez did not look good in this fight, did not look like he he looked like he was trying to solve a puzzle. And um I really feel like the game plan was a big mistake about his weaponized cardio because Sean Strickland also weaponizes cardio. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

So it was kind of like he was he was relying too much on the old tricks and also reli to be fair, he was also relying, I think, on Strickland's uniform activity with his fighting style. And so once Strickland started not following the exact playbook he used to, right? It seemed like Hernandez was a little lost on how to go about taking him down.

Moreno Card Upset And Letdowns

SPEAKER_01 9:29

Exactly, and uh it seemed like after he pretty much saw, like, hey man, I can't take this guy down, then the striking really wasn't there for Anthony Hernandez in this one. Yeah. Uh unfortunate, but great win for Sean Strickland. For sure. Great win for him. And we'll move on to the other fight nights took place at the end of February. Uh recently, was that February 28th? Uh UFC fight night, Brandon Moreno versus Lone Kabanaugh in Mexico. Uh I just will I'll gloss over this one. A couple of the fights that really interested me were in the main card. Specifically, I I really enjoyed that King Green versus Daniel Zell Huber. And it's one of those unk still got it kind of moments. Yeah. Where uh Zell Huber, like he really looked coming into it like he had an advantage on the feet and stuff, but King Green was working him.

SPEAKER_02 10:26

Yeah, Zell Huber, he's he's looked really promising in the past, and so there was there was some real anticipation, and then King Green was just he was pulling it up.

SPEAKER_01 10:38

Yeah, King Green getting a nasty finish on Zell Huber, and uh that was impressive, but uh something that really was not impressive was that Marlon Vera performance against uh David Martinez. Cheeto Vera, man, uh I really feel like he had a hard time in this one, specifically in the first two rounds, and really picked it up in the third round, but it was a little bit like of a little too late kind of thing. Right. And David Martinez looked impressive in his point style, kind of karate style that he was fighting. That was kind of fun to watch.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

It kind of seemed like uh Vera has gotten too used to doing like five round knockout, drag out fights. Like he was almost saving himself for the next three rounds from the first two rounds. Yes. And then he's like, Alright, now that he's tired, I'm gonna really start cranking it up, but it was way too late for him to start.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Yeah, I mean that that that part was very unfortunate for Tito Vera. But uh great performance, David Martinez getting that unanimous decision. And speaking of great performance, how about that Lone Kavanaugh versus a legend in the in the division, Brandon Morano, and Kavanaugh really showing a really great mixed bag in this one.

SPEAKER_02 12:03

I I mean I don't have a lot to say about it. They're neither one of them really excites me. And it was it was a pretty basic, decent but decent fight in my book.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

Nothing against them, just Yeah, I I I really think Brandon Moreno I I did not like his performance in the this one. Uh but I will give uh Kavanaugh his flowers and he pulled out an upset on a former champion.

SPEAKER_02 12:36

Yeah, he earned it.

UFC 326 Early Bonuses Roll In

SPEAKER_01 12:37

And unfortunately Brandon Moreno has not looked great as of late, you know, but uh this is good stuff for Kavanaugh, 'cause obviously this is gonna springboard him, you know, into the top five. Uh-huh. This is definitely gonna help his case to try to get to that belt at some point, even though he lost emphatically recently. He got knocked. How do you go from getting knocked out to uh coming back and fighting a former champ and beating a former champion is it's incredible. Leaps and bounds in the UFC kind of thing. And we'll talk about that great UFC 326 card, even though a lot of people are upset about that BMF fight. More on that a little later. We'll get there. We'll start on that uh early prelims. This is that card that I was mentioning to you guys, listener, that this we are there was actually some pretty good amount of performance of the night in this one. Some good bonuses, starting off with the first fight of the of the whole card in the early prelims, getting a performance of the night. Rodolfo Bellato versus Luke Fernandez, and Balato putting an emphatic finish and uh earning that performance of the night. So it's great to see bonuses, it's great to see them early, and just goes to show you, you know, if you really put in the work, good things will come.

SPEAKER_02 14:07

It was a it was a really good uh look for the light heavyweight. For sure.

SPEAKER_01 14:12

Yeah, exactly. And I'll move on to the uh prelims, uh Ricky Torcios versus Alberto Montez, another performance of the night. And uh Alberto Montez pulling out a really nasty submission on Turquoise, which I was very impressed by actually. After that, uh Dante Johnson vs. Cody Brundage, and Cody Brundage putting another unfortunate performance together and looking like he really doesn't want to be there anymore, man. It's just kind of strange seeing Cody Brundage and his Devolution? Is that the word?

SPEAKER_02 14:50

I guess.

SPEAKER_01 14:51

Is that the opposite of evolution?

SPEAKER_02 14:54

Uh yeah. De evolution.

Garbrandt Foul Storm And Scoring

SPEAKER_01 14:57

I don't know, de whatever. But uh Dante Johnson getting that win unan uh by split decision, even though I really felt like he deserved a unanimous in that one. That was kinda strange. Yeah. Uh Cody Carbrand versus Zhao Long.

SPEAKER_02 15:14

That was a that was an unfortunate fight.

SPEAKER_01 15:17

Let me paint a picture for you, listener. Would you rather take a punch to the face or as a man get kicked in the nuts? I guarantee any man's gonna say take a punch to the face.

SPEAKER_02 15:32

Direct uninterrupted with the tip of the toes to the side of the sack.

SPEAKER_01 15:38

Cody Garband, I'll just say this. What a dog taking three nut shots, but however, three nut shots should not be allowed in this in this sport. No, it shouldn't. It's unfortunate. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 15:52

And I really feel like Admittedly, the first one here genuinely looked like a full blown. Accident Cody genuinely was dropping his his uh level and it was just an unfortunate timing. The two after that was just straight negligence.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

How about that second one where, like you were saying, the tip of his freaking toe kicks him right under the cup, forcing Cody Brunt uh Garbrant to go to the floor and uh literally vomit into a bucket from uh the the pain. Yeah. And Cody Garbrand getting up heated, like if he was ready to kill, you know, himself stating after this that he was ready to stand and bang, literally full sprinting and throwing himself ragdoll into Xiaolong. And uh it looked like it was gonna be a nasty scrap after that. It looked like it was gonna keep going, it looked like Cody Garbant was fired up, you know. It did. And then another nutshot.

SPEAKER_02 17:03

A knee that time. Granted, admittedly, and thankfully, it was mo most of the direct impact was to the arm, but it definitely slid off the arm straight into the cup.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

And that really took the wind out of uh Cody Garbert and sales, and after that It did. You know, but Zhao Long losing two points, you know, and making it virtually impossible for him to win unless he got a finish, but And he tried for that finish.

SPEAKER_02 17:36

Oh yeah, he tried to do that.

SPEAKER_01 17:37

He really did. He really did. Uh you know, I commend him for that. I don't commend him for the big mistakes he made. And uh I commend the ref for you know taking the time and and taking out those two points, but I feel like maybe the third one it should have been means for disqualification. Just you know, it was an accident, but just out of uh um principle.

SPEAKER_00 18:01

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

Like, you know, to show that we cannot have three nutshots here, man. Yeah, especially.

SPEAKER_02 18:10

You know, just to show everyone in the UFC three is a lot too much.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

Especially after your fighter literally was in excruciating pain after the second one. Yeah, dying on the floor, vomiting, it's just it would have set it would have set a precedent. Yeah. I think.

SPEAKER_02 18:30

Uh and just as part of the additional drama that is the com also completely understandable and unintentional uh headbutt from Cody to Zhao uh in that first round, I believe it was the first round where they were both level they both went to level change at the same time. Cody went to shoot to try and for a takedown. Yeah. And Zhao had was doing this weird move slash stumble thing. I don't really know what was going on. It's hard to really translate what he was doing in the moment.

SPEAKER_01 19:07

Yeah, it was kind of weird.

SPEAKER_02 19:08

But I it was kind of unfortunate timing, uh looking at the fight as a whole, because it kind of made it look the w how upset Zhao got from that kind of made the the three follow-up fouls from him seem a little less than completely accidental, regardless of how you want to view each one in isolation.

SPEAKER_01 19:35

However, Cody Garbrett winning by unanimous decision, great on him, win by nutshot, that that works, I guess.

Knockouts Odds Swings And Memes

SPEAKER_02 19:42

Great for him to hang on to it.

SPEAKER_01 19:44

And then we go on to the main card, which right off the bat, both fights ended up really good. Being performance of the night, insane, look how many bonuses, and Gregory Robocop Rodriguez getting his knockout revenge on Bruno the Hulk Ferrero. Mm-hmm. It almost looked like a similar punch. Yeah. If you go back and look at the first fight they had, it it it's almost like the same punch, just opposite person.

SPEAKER_02 20:14

Yeah, it was it was interesting in the moment that that strike looked so negligent almost, not not like there was any real power to it, but then when you saw the replay, you saw that it was it was a fully set up and well placed blow that hit hard.

SPEAKER_01 20:32

Extremely well placed and uh really putting that sleeper on Bruno Ferrero.

SPEAKER_02 20:37

It was nice to see the the skill and calm from Robocop.

SPEAKER_01 20:44

Oh yeah, and this is so far, it's it's kind of crazy how you know Bruno Ferrero was on that run when he knocked him out, and now Robocop's on a pretty nasty run right now.

SPEAKER_02 20:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:56

Getting his revenge, uh, that must feel sweet. And then we had Drew Dober versus Michael Johnson.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

Another great fight.

SPEAKER_01 21:07

I'll take the time and and just throw this tidbit out, is there was a major fluctuation on the betting odds right before the fight again. Yeah. And this is already the second fight with Michael Johnson's name being attached to it. Major speculation, nothing has been proven as of late. Right. And who knows, maybe this is takes to account all the memes of Drew Dober. If you're a hardcore UFC fan, you've probably seen those memes saying that Drew Dober only wins against minorities, neither here nor there. Uh if you check his record, yeah, he like mostly wins against colored people, which is interesting.

SPEAKER_02 21:49

I think that's mostly happens to be coincidence.

SPEAKER_01 21:54

And I will ha I will add that the Drew Dober is definitely not happy about these memes. Even saying that it is affecting his life personally. Uh, and I understand this plight, he says that people calling him racist and things like that. And it's affecting his family. Affecting his family, where his nephews and nieces are going to school and their schoolmates are asking why their uncles are racist. And Drew Dober, I really feel for that plight, and I'm sorry that you're kind of going through this unfortunate thing.

SPEAKER_02 22:28

Yeah, memes kind of get out of hand sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 22:31

And even including the meme that I saw right after this fight, which basically said, Yeah, uh, Drew Dober's not beating the allegations after this win. Sorry. Sorry to laugh at the It doesn't help. It doesn't help what a nasty knockout on Michael Johnson. Another well-placed, absolutely well-placed bomb right to the right to the jaw that really put Michael Johnson to sleep, earning Drew Dover performance of the night.

SPEAKER_02 22:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 23:00

Uh Rob Font. Yeah, after that, Rob Font versus Ro Rosas Jr. Disappointment. Wasn't too exciting.

SPEAKER_02 23:07

I expected so much more from Rojas and uh Rosas.

SPEAKER_01 23:11

Uh I'm I'm excited at the fact that Rosas is now gonna be in the top 15. However, that performance did not excite me. I will commend them for getting such amazing control on a veteran as Rob Rob Font, which d seemed to have like an advantage in the striking.

SPEAKER_02 23:32

He had a major advantage in the striking. And uh but didn't Rossas couldn't do Jack Diddley when it came to striking. All he could do was shell up and shoot.

SPEAKER_01 23:42

Yeah, and he did take him down though, and he looked very strong doing it.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

He did, but it kind of seemed more like he was his fighting style was spider monkey.

unknown 23:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

Like you can't get me off of you. That's that's not really much of a it's not much combat, really. It's it's just extra hugging or hugging with extra steps.

De Ridder Slips Baralho Surges

SPEAKER_01 24:07

It's definitely an interesting game plan. Who knows maybe if this was really to try to get as hard as he can to get into the top fifteen. Uh but I don't know if I'm gonna give him a cheewees for this one. Yeah. Yeah. Uh but uh a very exciting fight afterward was that Kyle Baraglio versus Rainier DeRitter, where I really thought Rainier had an advantage on the uh ground game, but uh Kyle Baralio showing dimension to his game.

SPEAKER_02 24:38

He did.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

And showing takedown defense, showing leg kicks, showing uh nasty strikes that really would rock Rainier DeRitter. And RDR not using those knees and looking rather. I want to give the word disinterested. For the most part, he looked like still not in the best condition. Yeah. Like he looked tired, not wanting to be there.

SPEAKER_02 25:08

Kinda looked like the weight cut took more out of him than it should have. Or needs to.

SPEAKER_01 25:16

Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on in that camp, but he's not looking like the boogeyman that he was when he first came into the UFC, you know? No. Um so it's just very unfortunate, but great performance by Cabra. But I I think this is really gonna send him to the top five.

SPEAKER_02 25:34

I haven't heard it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was mentioned by somebody. It's just an interesting correlation to see how De Ritter came in and took out Bo Nickel so easily after those knees to the what was it, liver?

SPEAKER_01 25:52

Yep.

SPEAKER_02 25:54

Um then the following fights by De Ritter have been or at least most of the fights following have kinda made him almost seem like he's being fraud checked.

SPEAKER_01 26:10

Great point. Uh yes, I I definitely agree with the whole bone fraud check thing after that, and now we're seeing fraud check in the opposite direction.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

I don't really care for the whole concept of fraud check. Me either for the most part. But uh if you're into that, it's kind of interesting to see the uh what goes around comes around.

SPEAKER_01 26:34

Yeah, that is kind of crazy, but I do think if you only get fraud checked if you give up on yourself.

SPEAKER_02 26:42

He straight up gave up.

SPEAKER_01 26:43

And he did straight up give up last fight, which was kind of crazy against Brendan Allen, who I really thought RDR was gonna body. Yeah. But uh he looked sick in that one coming into that fight.

SPEAKER_02 26:53

But he also chose to fight regardless, so it's up to him.

SPEAKER_01 26:56

And uh then we move on to that very polarizing performance by Charles Oliveira against BMF championship.

Oliveira Takes BMF Belt Heat

SPEAKER_02 27:06

Uh that's it's a travesty that that was a BMF fight. I'm sure that does suck.

SPEAKER_01 27:11

That does suck.

SPEAKER_02 27:12

As a BMF fight, that was pathetic.

SPEAKER_01 27:15

Not so exciting as people were thinking it was going to be with the striking. However, uh a lot of people are comparing this performance to uh Drice Duplice versus Hamzat, you know, JDM versus Islam.

SPEAKER_02 27:31

Rightly so.

SPEAKER_01 27:32

Yeah, I just did not seem I did appreciate the submission attempts by Olivera and the defense by Max Holloway.

SPEAKER_02 27:41

On that note, yes, Olivera wasn't just laying and praying. He he was doing a lot more than Hamzat, especially Hamzat. Hamzat he was having a tickle fight the whole time, basically. A pitter patter, patty cake fight. But so I I I did enjoy the fact that Oliver really was trying to submit him and just as a side note, in conjunction with this, Holloway did gain his black belt after this in jujits for the defense, which admittedly is a genuine. Yeah, he genuinely earned it from that because like it or not, relatively boring as Olivera can be in a fight, he is a fantastic jujitsu practitioner.

SPEAKER_01 28:39

Most finishes in the UFC.

SPEAKER_02 28:41

He's a fantastic jujitsu practitioner that you can't just turn your nose up at. He if you don't have excellent defense, you will get subbed by him. And Olivera showed that. Unfortunately, he didn't have the skill, strength, and experience to do more than defend for the most part, but he did survive it.

SPEAKER_01 29:06

Yeah, and I will also add that uh nobody has really worked Max Holloway like this, and so it's kind of it's kind of like a a a good and a bad. We got to see good defense from Max Holloway, we got to see how strong Charles Olivera is in the 155, because when they first met, you know, a decade ago, they were kids, you know, and in 145, and Charles Olivera didn't really fit in that division, and he moved up and look at the legendary career he's had at 155. And but I will say, not the takedown defense I was gonna see on Max Holloway's part, but Olivera just looked very strong in this one, dude. He did. He did. And uh earning him the unanimous decision, Charles Oliveira is now the BMF champion, and I'm hearing the sentiment, I'm hearing the online chatter about uh how that wasn't really like a BMF performance, they wanted more stand and bang. The only time it was stand and bang was right at the end. And uh I will say though, I will add this, is during those very few exchanges, Charles Oliveira didn't look too bad against Max Holloway in the striking year.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Yeah, he didn't look too bad. So it definitely looked like that's his second string line of combat.

SPEAKER_01 30:40

Uh especially against such a a great striker like Max Holloway, I definitely get it. You know, he just finished knocking out Justin Gagey and you know, beating Dustin Poirier, so I I definitely get the the the game plan. And I felt like Charles Oliver didn't really fight this match like a BMF belt. He did. He fought it like a championship belt. He did. Anything to win. And I don't think that BMF is what he's really going for. I think he really wants to get back at that belt again, and this adds to his run so far. Who's on a on a win streak now? Let's see where Charles Olivera ends up. Um I kinda want to see that BMF belt go up at weight class, maybe to 170, you know, where it was originally concept, you know, it's it's original conception.

SPEAKER_02 31:35

Really?

Emmett Matchup And March Picks

SPEAKER_01 31:36

I didn't I didn't know what they made the belt for Nate Diaz and and Maz Vidal. And so uh who knows? I I won't speculate on that. I'll just say great win, Charles Livera beating BMF champion Max Holloway. So it's great to see. And we got one more uh fight night to talk about that's coming up, and then we'll do a quick rapid fire. Is that Josh Emmett versus Kevin Vajos? I I do think uh this is gonna be an amazing fight. I think these guys are both very striker friendly.

SPEAKER_02 32:10

It has the potential to be a either quick or bloody fight. I don't think it'll be both. I think it'll be one or the other.

SPEAKER_01 32:17

I I think so too, and we'll give our reaction to that one at a later date. Uh quickfire, we got that Evelyn vs. Murphy, Saturday, March 21st. That is gonna be an absolute I think max masterclass in mixed martial arts, I think it's gonna be really good. I just feel like these both these guys have such good, you know, performances in their records, such good grappling, striking. It's just I think it's gonna be good.

SPEAKER_02 32:47

They have uh a deep and varied toolbox.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

And then we'll find out who's gonna between them who's gonna fight Volkanovsky, I'm pretty sure. Uh Autasanya vs. Piper, Saturday, March 28th. A lot of people are scared for Adassania. They really think he needs this win, and Pyfers been looking like he's on a tear lately, so that should be exciting. Moikano versus Duncan after that.

SPEAKER_02 33:12

Yeah, I there's there's a lot of possibilities in that fight.

White House Card Big Questions

SPEAKER_01 33:18

And speaking of possibilities, I'm looking at this UFC 327. We'll talk about this one at a later date. But headlining Prohaska versus Olberg for that vacant title.

SPEAKER_02 33:31

Some serious excitement on that one.

SPEAKER_01 33:34

Oh man. That one I I sincerely can't wait. I kind of want to fast forward in time just to watch that one, but uh, you know. Uh recent announcement, May 2nd, Della Medalena vs. Protess. Wow. Speaking of striker friendly, these guys are both gonna try to strike, you know. It's gonna be crazy.

SPEAKER_02 33:54

Definitely something to look forward to. Hopefully it stays intact for the next few months.

SPEAKER_01 33:59

And the final UFC announcement, this was announced literally this weekend for uh UFC 326 at Charles Olivera vs. Max Holloway. The White House card. Uh a lot of people were hyped for this one, a lot of talk in this one. I'm getting a lot of mixed reactions on social media on this one. People are happy and people are upset that there's no John Jones or Conor McGregor on it.

SPEAKER_02 34:30

And honestly, as a relative newcomer, thank God.

SPEAKER_01 34:36

Uh, we do, however, get to see Ilya Topo versus Justin Gacy headlining for that, you know, to to see if Ilya Toporia comes back in top form after, you know, his little layoff, and hopefully Justin Gagey can shock the world.

SPEAKER_02 34:55

I I hope Gagey can tighten up his gameplay or h the his his fighting style, because it's a lot sloppy for fighting against someone so technically proficient and powerful as Ilya.

SPEAKER_01 35:09

Yeah, I feel like a lot of people are writing off Gachy in this one and are saying R.I.P. Gagey, you know.

SPEAKER_02 35:16

Yeah, I d I don't want to write him off, but if he doesn't uh if he if he doesn't step it up, I I see a very tough future for him. And then that follow it or that the co co main, the headline uh co main on that with uh Pereira vs. Gone. I hope Pereira can wear some goggles for that.

SPEAKER_01 35:43

Yeah, I literally just saw a meme of that. It's gonna say it says Alex's game plan going into that fight, and he's wearing like scuba goggles. Yeah. Funny, guys, very funny.

SPEAKER_02 35:55

You kinda need one with with against Gone.

SPEAKER_01 35:58

Yeah, how exciting though, Alex Pereira Bereda going up in weight class yet again, dropping another belt yet again, and going for history, man, going for three championships, being the first ever to get three championships in three different weight classes. Yeah. And uh against Cyril Gunn, who's uh also you know a striker as well, and see how much Alex Pareta's power translates to the heavyweight division. It's a lot of questions in this one for sure.

SPEAKER_02 36:31

I yeah, I'm hoping everyone shows up to this fight completely healthy.

SPEAKER_01 36:38

No excuses, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 36:40

No excuses, no half-ass excuses, no excuses or no saying no excuses, but Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:51

Uh it's just we'll see.

SPEAKER_02 36:54

Then we have uh Sean O'Malley.

SPEAKER_01 36:57

Yeah, versus Eamon's a hobby. What a random fight.

SPEAKER_02 37:00

That is an odd fight.

SPEAKER_01 37:01

Random fight. Uh I'm mainly upset that I feel like it should have been uh San Hagen versus O'Malley. I feel like that was the fight to make, and they really missed out. But um, they love to hate him. I don't know. But they love Sean O'Malley, that's for sure. They do. Uh I think this is an O'Malley favorite fight. Zahabi is great though. I think he's gonna uh put up a sleeper performance against Sean O'Malley. That's just my personal uh opinion. But after that, I mean before that we have the Mauricio Rufi versus Michael Chandler. Michael Chandler getting his wish of getting in the White House, however, not against Connor McGregor. Very strange, uh, which is funny because uh a lot of people compare Mauricio Rufi's fight style to Connor McGregor, so it's kind of crazy. I I I really don't know what the matchmakers were thinking with this one. However, who knows? I think it's more of a toss-up. I know people are writing off Michael Chandler, but uh anything's possible.

SPEAKER_02 38:08

And honestly, if he doesn't win, he needs to friggin' retire.

SPEAKER_01 38:11

Uh that is very much a possibility. Retire in front of the UF uh, you know, in front of the White House crowd.

SPEAKER_02 38:19

Out of his last six fights, he's won one. And that was I hate to say it, against a has been.

SPEAKER_01 38:29

And then we have Bo Nickel on that card, gets his wish and gets the fight on the White House versus Kyle Dawkins, American versus American. So either way, America wins, right?

SPEAKER_02 38:40

In that one, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 38:41

In that one, a lot of people are not liking that one either, but um I feel like it should have been man. That's another and it's kind of upsetting.

SPEAKER_02 38:53

Another kind of weird issue, especially with for uh Bo, in that people love to hate him.

SPEAKER_01 39:02

Yeah, I really feel like if they wanted a matchmake something that would have been good and has had some history, is that Bo Nickel vs. Colby Covington, I think that would have been a really good fight. That would have been a really good fight. I think they missed out on that one. However, they did cook with this one, even though it's a sleeper dish. Is that Diego Lopez versus Steve Garcia? Uh Diego Lopez obviously is very beloved, a lot of fans and a lot of uh backing. Against Steve Garcia, who's on an absolute tear, and I really like Steve Garcia's like I love his fight style. Hard nose, uh not so crazy, but he gets it done kind of guy. So I think this is gonna be a great fight, Diego Lopez versus Steve Garcia. I I I really recommend we watch that one. That's a really good one.

SPEAKER_02 39:51

There's some serious potential there.

Ngannou PFL Exit Netflix Talk

SPEAKER_01 39:53

And so very exciting times on the UFC front, and I I will add outside of the UFC real quick, Francis and Ganyu out of the PFL and in with Netflix, added to that Ronda Rousey versus the Gina Carano card. So I think it's it's shaping up pretty nicely, man. They're getting some they're getting some names, they're getting some people, and uh, you know, I think I think that's gonna be a pretty good card if they continue on with getting some more people, some more names. So that that's exciting to me. That's exciting to me. Uh even though I love the UFC, uh, you know, it's always good to see uh uh, you know, more variety. You know, obviously this is MVP's first MMA fight card, so hopefully we'll see more to them if this one's successful. And we'll move on from the cage onto those amazing Reddits we got.

SPEAKER_02 41:12

Alright, now for our Reddit section, we're going to do hopefully relatively quickly, not focus too much time on any single one, but we're gonna do a number of would you rathers. And to start that, wildly enough it's from would you rather subreddit in s in Reddit, of course, by equal son 8307. Would you rather be paid to move or paid to eat? Let's get into the nitty-gritty of it. So would you rather be paid one US dollar for every step you take per day or be paid five dollars for every calorie you consume per day? Edit. I changed the calorie payout to make it a bit more of a contest. Steps were winning by a landslide. Understandably.

SPEAKER_01 42:12

I would still have to do the steps one, I think.

SPEAKER_02 42:18

Me too.

SPEAKER_01 42:19

Just because of I take like a million steps a day, so I couldn't.

SPEAKER_02 42:23

Well you wouldn't need to if you got that money. You wouldn't you need you wouldn't need to have the job you've got right now. Right. So you wouldn't necessarily need to take that many steps per day for your job. You theoretically you could effectively retire with this. At least once you got your first couple paychecks from it.

SPEAKER_01 42:45

Yeah, I think uh I'll definitely go with the steps. Um because those calories, I mean, that's kinda hard to gauge, right? It seems like more than anything.

SPEAKER_02 42:57

So here's the thing, it it ends up being relatively equal. Um very few people can't manage at minimum 10,000 steps a day. Like that's an exceedingly common baseline goal.

SPEAKER_01 43:14

Hopefully.

SPEAKER_02 43:15

That's like that that's like the default goal if you have like a smartwatch or something. At least that's my understanding. I have never had one. But um that's a very common goal to have uh a 10,000 step day for a 2,000 calorie per day diet at five dollars, that's also ten thousand dollars. So it's it's roughly equal. So I mean it there's not a huge difference either way. But I think I do prefer the idea of the steps simply because it gives me an incentive. To stay active and not like I'd much rather have the incentive to take an extra jog for that day if I felt like I needed a little extra money for whatever reason versus going and gorging on a pint of ice cream or a couple pints of ice cream.

SPEAKER_01 44:22

This is an absolute dream.

SPEAKER_02 44:29

They could be bad long term. Theoretically, I mean it's not nowhere in it do I see an edit of the uh um from the OP saying that you couldn't throw them up. But I really don't want that to be uh a daily occurrence in my life either.

SPEAKER_01 44:52

Went in for the money, came out of bulimic. Right. Uh you know what? I will say this is an absolute dream for an avid hiker or someone who loves hiking.

SPEAKER_02 45:02

Like that's honestly one of the first things I was thinking too.

SPEAKER_01 45:04

This is your dream if you know you're gonna be paid to hike.

SPEAKER_02 45:08

You know, do it on foot for the most part, and you're gonna have you're gonna have all expenses paid easily. Like ten thousand dollars a day. Wow. Like if you can't survive off that you're you're failing at life in general.

Sentient Parasite Nightmare Choice

SPEAKER_01 45:26

Or you have very extravagant purchasing yeah, that's not good. Uh so I have a pretty trippy one. Would you rather have ten tapeworms or one sentient parasite? You cannot remove these parasites and their lifespan will exactly match yours. The sentient parasite holds an alien self-awareness, an intelligence, one that is difficult to understand but clearly present. It may communicate with you or alter your brain chemistry altogether, but will not kill or significantly harm you out of self-preservation.

SPEAKER_02 46:06

Wow. That one is disturbing. All honesty. I'm I'm not a big fan of parasites and the inability to remove them would be exceedingly bothersome to me.

SPEAKER_01 46:22

Disturbing.

SPEAKER_02 46:26

I think I Nature being nature, I think I would have to given that I didn't see any or given that I didn't hear any caveats for the ten normal tapeworms I think I'm gonna I'd have to go with the the single sentient parasite. Sentient parasite simply because the amount of tapeworms that can spawn f out of ten tapeworms, especially over the course of your lifetime, is utterly obscene. Also, they grow to absolute ridiculous lengths, especially they would given that length of time.

SPEAKER_01 47:13

Yeah, that's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 47:15

Um I mean it's clearly states that you don't you can't really understand what the the sentient one does, but at least you know it's not actively trying to harm you.

SPEAKER_01 47:26

Yeah, and it won't harm you out of self-preservation. Uh so you'll pick the sentient parasite?

SPEAKER_02 47:33

I I think I'd have to pick that.

SPEAKER_01 47:34

That's nasty. You're disgusting. Alright, anyway, we'll move on with yours.

SPEAKER_02 47:40

Oh yeah, yeah. And you're not gonna choose, huh?

SPEAKER_01 47:47

Um, you know what? There's there's a couple benefits, you know, the ten tapeworms, you could eat whatever you want. I'll never get fat. Oh you're skinny. I could be.

SPEAKER_02 47:56

But also you have to eat enough you have to eat sustained have to eat enough to sustain them.

SPEAKER_01 48:02

Yes. So it's like I have ten kids. Uh or one sentient parasite, but it doesn't seem like it does anything cool, like make you dance or anything. Like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 48:13

Or give you powers.

SPEAKER_01 48:14

Or give you powers. It just says it communicates or alters your brain chemistry. I don't know. Uh I'm just gonna pick the one sentient parasite, even though one of my favorite video games is The Last of Us, where the cordyceps are basically like a sentient parasite. Ugh. It's gross either way. I'm going with the sentient parasite. Uh listener, good luck answering that one.

SPEAKER_02 48:49

Next by FYG Ould you rather restart your life at age ten with all your memories or get ten million right now.

SPEAKER_01 49:12

All my memories. That's the the very interesting part part of that is that means I could make ten million very easily just off of like gambling and stuff, but you have to wait till you're 18 to gamble.

SPEAKER_02 49:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:29

Hmm. I would have to I'm gonna go with the memories, just being that I know that at 18 I'm gonna bet on all the Super Bowls, I'm gonna, you know, a million dollars on everything, and uh bet on the Dodgers to beat the Toronto Blue Jays, because that's a lot of money probably.

SPEAKER_02 49:54

You'd still have to earn the money to start the bets. You don't you don't you don't go back and get a certain set amount of money.

SPEAKER_01 50:02

But if you think about it, all you have to do is earn enough to multiply that. So if you earn a grand, you multiply that to two and then two to four, and then uh that's just how I think. I don't know. But the ten million does seem very enticing to just have it on the spot.

SPEAKER_02 50:18

It does. And uh based on a few of the comments, I can totally understand many people going with that option. Like the top comment by Vierson26. Money. Restarting means I can end up with more money, but I won't have my kids.

SPEAKER_00 50:37

Hmm.

SPEAKER_02 50:39

I totally understand that.

SPEAKER_00 50:41

Wow, yep.

SPEAKER_02 50:43

There's no guarantee that you would end up with your kids, you know. They could be potentially similar if you did manage to somehow, despite being a completely different person, effectively be a completely different person, still woo your partner. You still wouldn't necessarily end up having those same kids. That's crazy. So as a parent, this would be a very tough choice. Tough choice not choose ten million, really.

SPEAKER_01 51:13

That scenario reminds me specifically of the movie Fifty First Dates with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, where she loses her memory every day and he has to every day try to make her fall in love with him again. Very sweet movie. I love it. But um another thing would be like if you're a parent, like Neil deGrasse Tyson recently said, is throughout the universe, every galaxy, every star, it's a miracle that it's there, but none of them are more rare than you as a person, because it's like one in what trillion that it's gonna be you. Yeah. So you never know. You could you know, you answer that, it's a hypothetical, you could lose your kids.

SPEAKER_02 51:56

Yeah. Um, and just like another person responded uh with and to the kids' comment, um, capable Capable Victory7807 said same, my ex-wife would be one of the mistakes I fixed, but I love my kids. Uh personally, I would do the restart partially because I don't have kids. Um it's not like I I I think I could maintain myself to be a good enough person to still woo my wife back once I became a page, and maybe I could uh intercept her before she goes through some of the hardships that she's gone through before when we married. Uh but also yeah, the the number of things, even with my extremely basic knowledge currently, that I could make money off of the first one that comes to mind is Bitcoin.

SPEAKER_01 53:05

Like Oh yeah, genius.

SPEAKER_02 53:08

It was so wildly cheap back in the day. I think that would be probably one of the easiest to make a tremendous amount of money on.

SPEAKER_01 53:20

That's genius. Uh but it's also like the butterfly effect, you know. What if you go back in time and things severely change? Uh we won't we won't know.

SPEAKER_02 53:29

Well, no, no. But this is presuming that doesn't happen. Yeah. Uh but I mean still even still beyond beyond the Bitcoin aspect, there's there's plenty of other options of knowing the even knowing the basic outcomes or the trajec the basic trajectory of humanity even as a whole. That you and and just having the generalized knowledge and uh knowing that sure, going to school again might suck, but at least at least you know for one that it'll be easier than the first time because you already it'll be easier than the first time because you already know. But also the answers yep because because you know god damn it, I did it again. But also because you know at least for me it would allow me to see the benefit of some of the things I missed in my current history, you know? I could go through and and focus on some of the aspects that I I really did not uh pay attention to and should have. So I think I would choose that.

Ten Thousand Calories Or Sleep

SPEAKER_01 54:49

Yeah, I think we're we're both on the same page on that one. And uh this one is very intriguing. Would you rather need to eat ten thousand calories a day to live or need to sleep fourteen hours a day to live?

SPEAKER_02 55:08

Ooh, that rough that one's tough. I think there's a couple caveats that I would need to understand for that one to make a truly informed decision, because if all ten thousand calories have to be the same level of nutritional value uh just at scale as my current two like two thousand to two thousand five hundred calorie diet to uh you know you you need the same amount of or at different scale, but you need the same level of protein percentage-wise in your diet. You need the same level of vegetables and all that. If it's that frankly, I'm not rich enough for that. You know? I I just I don't want to have to take the time and energy to both cook and eat and make the money to afford the food to eat it. Ten thousand calories is a lot.

SPEAKER_01 56:20

Yeah, it's a lot.

SPEAKER_02 56:21

Now, if it was easy to just, you know, eat a tub of ice cream or a couple tubs of ice cream to round them out just to meet the number, okay, maybe. Wouldn't be as bad. But but ten thousand calories is a lot.

SPEAKER_01 56:41

That's a lot of Big Macs. And um but the 14 hours to live uh uh That one's rough too. That's rough. Cause that doesn't leave you with much time to do anything else.

SPEAKER_02 56:53

Yeah, that's why I immediately went for the the food option first, or wanted to go for the food option first, but the more you think about it, the more it sucks. Both of them really. They suck. I don't like sleep enough to want to do fourteen hours of it every day. I have a t I have a hard time sleeping more than eight hours a day. I sleep hours a day. No, you don't. I mean, theoretically, the fourteen hours would be like your body just naturally goes for it. But if you had to like actually try to adjust your body to supposedly need this fourteen hours of sleep, that would be tough. Yeah. And severely crimp your lifestyle.

SPEAKER_01 57:40

Yeah. I sleep a lot of hours already. No, you don't. Um so I think I would do the sleep one because, like you said, can afford the 10,000 calories a day, and plus like you need that to live, but that sounds like it'll kill you.

SPEAKER_02 57:58

I mean, theoretically, your metabolism would shift to the point where you need that as baseline. Kind of like you need however depending on your body size and activity level, you need X amount of calories currently. But I hate I hate the idea of losing that many hours in a day. But I just simply couldn't afford ten thousand calories a day.

SPEAKER_01 58:28

So we're on the sleep one?

SPEAKER_02 58:29

I have to go to the sleep one.

SPEAKER_01 58:30

Oh sheesh, we're on point today.

Time Loop Vs Billion Years

SPEAKER_02 58:33

Alright, this next one is by Deluxe Sun. Would you rather be stuck in an infinite one day time loop with a way out or live for one billion years? B billion And to clarify, the one day time loop is from the moment you wake up tomorrow so you can't choose whatever day you want, it's tomorrow until you either fall asleep or die. And then it starts over again. No escape except a very specific condition controllable only by you that permanently ends the loop with your permanent death. Or you must live one billion years. You are immortal. Nothing can harm you physically, current physical or mental ailments are cured, and you are permanently a healthy, able bodied twenty eight year old you. You will survive a billion years no matter what. The moment you hit one billion years from tomorrow, you die. What do you choose?

SPEAKER_01 59:49

Hmm. Groundhog's Day, huh?

SPEAKER_02 59:54

Basically. Yeah. Basically it's Groundhog's Day or witness the heat death of the universe.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:01

Well, the the death of the planet, because I think of the planet, because I think in a billion years the sun will die out and the Earth is gonna be.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:10

I think it's like seven hundred and some odd million.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:13

Yeah. So you're just gonna be floating around.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:16

Theoretically. That's unless you can become extraplanetary.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:21

What if that what if for a billion years you have to pay bills and then after the world ends you're just floating like Mary Poppins in space for like the rest of the 300 million years? Like, damn, thinking to yourself, like I should have just taken the groundhogs day. Yeah. Um I'll pick the immortality, and I mean it sounds like you get kind of a superpower with the nothing physical hurts you. I'm just gonna become potentially I'm just gonna become the superhuman or something, I don't know, superhero.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:54

There is that possibility, but that also means that theoretically, a powerful group could capture you and hold you, and not let you leave a cell or what have you. Theoretically, for a couple hundred years at a time.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:18

So basically they lock you up for 999,999,999. I mean, and then the one day you come out and you're like finally the sun and it's gone.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:32

I mean, theoretically that could be possible. I mean, like, say you somehow during your uh millions of years that you're alive and you you get bored and you you screw with the wrong person, the wrong mob boss, and they they encase you in concrete and throw you in the bottom of the ocean.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:53

Damn, that does suck.

SPEAKER_02 1:01:55

That's it takes a long time for concrete to break down.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:01

Just waiting.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:02

And you would be yeah, you you physically can't be hurt. But you're underwater, constantly getting silt covering you in concrete. You probably wouldn't get out of that until the sun exploded.

unknown 1:02:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:22

And destroyed the earth. Wow. And then you'd be stuck in space for those extra 300 million years or what have you.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:31

That's rough, sir. Uh I'm still gonna pick the billion years uh just because that sucks. Well, you know, that you don't get to pick the day that you get to relive. Uh I think I'd pick the relived day if you could pick it.

SPEAKER_02 1:02:44

If you could pick the relive day, that would be significantly easier. Or it would make it significantly more likely for me to choose. I mean, either one is has some serious drawbacks. With the Groundhog Day esque one, you there's only so many times you can go through the same day particularly if you don't get to choose the day. Like, you don't it's not like you start that you get to start that day with ten million bucks and then you can spend that spend however much of of that you want every day and have an interesting and have all kinds of different options. I don't have that much money in my bank account, regardless of if I know I'm not gonna have to need it for more than more than one day. There's only so much I can do within a a standard being awake cycle of a day, you know? Especially in our rural setting. It's not like I could just pop over to Vegas super easily.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:57

Right. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:58

I mean I could pop over there, but I would still need uh that's several hours of my day missing just to get there. And that's if I can get a flight as soon as I wake up and fly there.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:09

That's that's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:11

I I mean and that's just the nearest, like, high excitement city I can think of. Um so the billion years I would have to choose, I just would have to be really careful. I'd have to remind myself, no matter how old I am, to be really careful of who I piss off.

SPEAKER_01 1:04:34

And that sucks seeing all your friends and stuff around you get old.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:37

Everyone you care about forever will die before you, effectively forever. However, I do like the option for the fact on the bright side, not the cursed side. I like the idea that for one, can you imagine how massive your investments would get?

SPEAKER_01 1:05:02

Uh yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:03

Over even uh a millionth of that time frame, your your investments would grow quite large, and then you could you have lots of potential for agency within Earth as a start, and then you could theoretically, provided you're benevolent and relatively smart about it, you could guide humanity into leaving Earth and finding another home planet at a star that won't die before you do. Just basically continuing that and kind of restarting. Being uh I mean, sure, y it's not like you would want to be the leader of humanity as a whole.

SPEAKER_01 1:05:50

Right. Become a civilian.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:52

Yeah. But having having one person live for that long, even if you kept it relatively on the down. It would you would be able to probably inter interject yourself into the circles of power and just from your own breadth of knowledge that could provide a stabilizing influence uh on politics or whatever you wanted to look at it in that regard. So theoretically you could do provide a lot of help for humanity in a case like that.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:29

Theoretically speaking, yes.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:31

Theoretically. And you could survive any nuclear holocaust that happened before you could manage that, if that were a thing.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:40

Yeah. Or you get to witness all the nukes and you're just standing there just getting around nuked around.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:48

Ragdolled.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:49

Ragdolled. Just waiting there.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:52

God, imagine being ragdolled by multiple nukes.

Bathroom Access Three Factor Chaos

SPEAKER_01 1:06:54

Yeah, a nerd moment. Uh this reminds me of uh an old comic. It was a Marvel comic where Thanos first did the snap, and uh instead of destroying half the universe, he was like, you know what? F it, I'm just gonna destroy the whole universe. Snaps his fingers blank everywhere, and him just sitting there bored with Adam Warlock, and Adam Warlock is looking at him like So what now? Thanos is like, damn, you're right. This is boring. Snaps it. Nothing to live for. Yeah, so nerd moment. Uh the last would you rather for the episode uh it's a doozy, man. I hope you're ready for this one. Oh boy. Would you rather shit every pair of underwear you put on for the rest of your life or have to complete a three-factor authentication before being allowed to use any bathroom for the rest of your life.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:03

The underwear, and then I just wouldn't wear the underwear and go and they go mando.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:08

They go on to describe which option A. Every part of your every pair of underwear you put on must be shit in before you remove them off your body for any reason. No diapers, no not wearing underwear. B you would not have access to the toilet until you complete a three-factor authentication every time that goes for any toilet, any place, any reason, even if it's an emergency.

SPEAKER_02 1:08:44

Now, that sounds like there's a little bit of wiggle room for the first one with the wording there. It sounds like you could go all day without shitting your underwear and then before you take them off, shit in them real quick and then take them off.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:05

Yeah, it seems like you you have to poop in it. In order to take it in order to take them off.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:10

Not that immediately upon putting them on you shit in it and walk around smelly all day. Because walking around smelly all day is not an option.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:18

It's just not Before I give my answer, I'm just gonna apologize to the listener for this one. Uh, you know, just blame Alan for this one. Yeah, you did choose a really gross one.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:29

You chose two gross ones, friggin' tapeworms and shitting your pants. Underwear.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:35

Let's make the underwear in order to take it off. Uh before I answer, yeah, yeah. Just you know. Sorry, listener, it's just gonna grow some hair on your chest. Unless you don't want hair on your chest, then that's a different problem. Would you rather have hair on your chest or I already have hair on my chest. That's qu let's answer this question here. There's no option to not. I think I'll do the three-factory authentication. I mean, that does suck, you know. What if what if I have a really bad stomach? Or what if you have to throw up, you know, like projectile vomit? Yeah. Um I'm gonna pick the the three-factory authentication personally for that one. Uh-huh. Even if that does take time.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:20

Right. That that option isn't awful, I won't lie. But it does it does really depend on what those three factors are. Like, is it some sort of weird interdimensional thing that pops up and you have to put your thumb print, you have to do your eye you have to do an eye scan, and you have to, I don't know, spit on it so it can run a DNA analysis. I don't know. Or is it like the current three-factor one where you have to input a password, input a pin, and wait for a text back to get the pin that they send you. If it's that, no. That that I've had texts not get to me for ten minutes. That's an that that would not fly for me.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:15

Yeah, uh, it appears, just from the short research I did, most of the time uh three FA or three factor authentication is a knowledge factor, meaning like a pen or a password or something. Uh uh possession factor, you know, something from a smartphone like a code or security token or something like that, and uh an inherent factor, something you are like biometric, fingerprint, face scan, iris scan.

SPEAKER_00 1:11:46

Right.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:46

Um it's definitely gonna take some time, you know, but I don't think it's gonna take forever.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:54

Now, if you could refine it, like have it have it be a really refined and polished process where it's like a four-digit pin. You put your phone you you you put your phone I mean theoretically you would be able to ha transfer this authorization to whatever phone or device that you have. Or even if it's just like a card in your wallet, I don't know. Although it'd really suck to lose your wallet in that case. God, could you imagine being robbed? You wouldn't be able to potty ever. No, never. You would just explode.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:35

Yeah, definitely going with the shit in the pants.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:39

It sounds kinda complicated, huh?

SPEAKER_02 1:12:40

I I hate I hate to go with that option because it's it's horrifying. But pooping the poop in the undies. It doesn't say you have to do your whole load in the undies. You just need to put a little bit of poop in there before you can take them off.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:55

You really are disgusting.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:59

Yeah, I don't want to die from not being able to use the restroom because someone mugged me.
