The book that surprised me and blew my mind the most this year was The Twilight World, by Werner Herzog. It’s about Hiroo Onoda, who refused to surrender for almost three decades after World War II. I read it in one day, which is very rare. Recommended.
The Donald “Duck” Dunn of chicks with guns and the Ray Borg of fuckboys with swords
Content on Steve Aoki would be great. Sakikabara-san wanted him to make a new Rizin theme. I don't know if he signed a contract or not but Sakikabara-san went topless and jumped off Aoki's diving board which is even more cool
I consider myself to be a pretty hard-core fan, but im skipping this card. I'll watch the main event, but man.... this card has a co main of guy on 3 fight losing streak vs guy who's 1-3 in his last 4 fights, and also a 40 year old woman ON THE MAIN CARD???? The ufc just dont even pretend to care anymore
The King in Yellow heavily referenced in True Detective season 1. One of the best TV shows ever according to me. Highly recommend The Rim of Morning by William Sloan for additional troubling fiction.
Anyone know of fighters who used the reverse shoulder roll frame to drop shift into their opposite stance? It seems like a good way to exit close range on an angle while keeping your chin behind the rolling shoulder
Adesanya?
“Tender is The Flesh” by Agustina Bazterrica Most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt reading a book, but I finished it in two days.
If you want a book that is beautiful and disgusting at the same time try Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs. Absolutely crazy backstory of how the book came to be and it's semi biographical nature is both fascinating and disturbing. The author wrote the book after the tragic death of his wife (look into how she died) and he was addicted to benzos and heroin while he wrote it. The book itself is like if a fever dream fucked a bad acid trip and gave birth to the Antichrist. Highly recommend it
The cage is a flat circle
chicks with guns and cartwheels is a proven base for taking the women's flyweight belt... PFL finals were...as interesting as PFL can be. Thad Jean managed to be the guy who finally stopped Logan Storley from taking his opponent down and the beginning of every round, doing just enough to keep the position, and riding it out (fuuuuck he's so boring). Also showed phenomenal scrambling, to say nothing of his crisp striking.
Garth Merenghi is one of the rare people you can meet who has written more books than he's read. Author. Visionary. Dreamweaver. Plus actor.
Is it fair to say that the cinematic equivalent would be SALO
Haven't even listened yet, just saw this comment, and need to say, "fuck, I sure hope not."
The Trevon Giles of ominous podcast titles
Thoughts on Oliviera's October turnaround against Fiziev
Part of L. Ron Hubbard's bullshit was that he wrote a manuscript called "Excalibur" that was supposedly so amazing that it drove whoever read it insane.
The Dricus Du Plessis of giving my dudes kissies 😘
The Arnold Cream of reminding people about prime Overeem.
the yellow king of mma is the complete filthy casuals guide to sakuraba
I've been banging this drum for years. You can't label something "part 1" and never make a part 2. Unless you're Slacky J. In which case you can do whatever the fuck you want because ain't no man gonna dictate your posts. NO. MAN.
Beloved by Toni Morrison is pretty haunting and beautiful
“Artistically beautiful but shocking in content” is how I describe blood meridian
I just started reading it and so far the amount of violence and shocking scenes has been steadily growing!
The 120 days of Sodom is another one of those books that's very good but borderline impossible to read
Now that's an unexpected reference for an MMA podcast
