Thanks for the response and the great work on the podcasts.

This is great stuff.

I really like reading your write-ups before listening to the podcast. It helps frame things and your plans/intentions with the topic area. Truely great work, awesome podcast!

same ya, I tell friends and professors about this cast

“Accidentally committed suicide.” That’s the best summation ever. An expansion: It had poisoned all of its resources, built a punji-filled man trap around itself, left the gas on in the oven, built a gun-and-knife wielding robot with no Asimov’s 3 rules around, then got drunk, ate its resources, lit a cigarette while…

The ad I received just below the comments of this post is a horri-awful bit of synergy:

It’s almost like saying the brand was more important than the fighters was wrong.

Incredibly, wrongheadedly, stupidly, WRONG.

Yeah, that’s actually a fair point. It’s just a shame a smaller percentage of the fans are actually seeing those fights; it makes the “well, so and so doesn’t sell tickets” a self-fulfilling prophecy. If they want to give Cub a fight against a guy outside the top 10 there’s no reason it couldn’t be a guy like Bektic…

Gladiator tie in is necessary.
