oh dude the fighter and the kid podcast, the day they had randy couture as a guest, i saw it and went oh fuck yeah, play this shit right now!
i never made it to the randy couture part because while they were talking bryan was saying something along the lines of encouraging the listeners to follow dreams and bla bla and suddenly brendan jumped in and said something like:
"you know what B thats like discrediting me, because you are basically saying that if people tried hard enough, they could do what i do"
i immediately turned one of my true crime podcasts on, Brendan is a nice guy but he can be an arrogant self centered piece of shit sometimes
That's another thing about TFATK.
Brendan in particular likes to talk about how successful he is and they both preach that people who aren't like them aren't working hard enough.
It's a bit like rockstars putting down people who work a 9 to 5 job. Which is ironically 90% of anyone's fanbase.
And there's certain things that irk me. Like when Brendan recently made a big issue out of things when they got quite serious about discussing sexual assault. He said something along the lines of "two white guys shouldn't really be talking about it".
Why race came into that I have absolutely no idea.
And he clearly isn't that well read or intelligent. It's almost like he's just discovered books and the news in the past 2 years. But to be fair to him, he's doing well with what tools he has.
Oh and he also is clearly very very bitter about the UFC. He shits on them at every opportunity and then makes a point of saying how much he loves them.
I noticed you said you pick and choose now.
I try to listen to them all but some I just can't. Aubrey Marcus I simply cannot listen to for 3 hours when he's on Joe's show because I really don't want to hear about some egotistical guy drone on about how successful he is and what visions he saw on hallucinagenic drugs.
Neither do I want to listen to someone talk about weed for three hours.
Other than that I'll listen, even if it's not someone i'm interested in.
I subscribe to so many fucking podcasts tho. I try to listen to the MMA related ones asap because it's a bit pointless listening to them after events are over if they're discussing the buildup to that event!
At the moment I subscribe to:
* Joe Rogan Experience (hard to listen to religiously now. I listen to 90% of them but some I just can't)
* The Two Mikes (a UK based show on TalkSport. Basically two ex Fleet Street journalists arguing, it's fucking brilliant)
* MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani (even the 4 hour long ones don't seem to drag)
* The Fighter & the Kid (work really well together, sometimes hilarious but Brendan can be a cock sometimes)
* Anik & Florian (pretty good, some good guests, regular spot from Ray Longo, weird hearing Anik swear tho)
* UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton & Matt Serra (considering the depravity Norton talks about it's pretty amazing this is the official UFC podcast! A fun listen.)
* You're Welcome with Chael Sonnen (always a good listen. Joel Suprenant plays a bigger part now and his banter with Chael is great)
* Phone Booth Fighting (Richard Hunter & Frank Mir. Good listen. Some people seem to dislike Hunter but he seems like an OK guy)
* Sofa King Podcast (just recently subscribed to this. Pretty cool. Loads of talks on conspiracy theories etc.)
* Bill Burr (basically Bill just ranting about stuff, always funny. I fast forward the bits where he talks about American Football)
* The Milo Yiannopoulos Show (everyone should listen to and love this guy!)
