The Flamingo Show

Special Guest: Christian “Mani D’Acciaio” D’Angelo joins me in his second appearance on “The Flamingo Show” to talk about some of the few who come to the front of our minds as “G.O.A.T status”. Even though we got sidetracked in the debate of The Greatest Of All Time, we at least had fun creating one hell of an episode. Personally, I think that the phrase “G.O.A.T” is thrown around a little too much in the fight world, so maybe it’s a good thing that we started talking about other dumb s**t.

Special Guest: My Dad. The Flamingo Show has (somehow) made it to the 10th Episode!!! But of course it has, I am me after all, and I couldn’t have found a better way to celebrate it than with the man who birthed me. A Bread Sandwich: The Summation of Hardship, one of the many themes of this podcast episode (among other types of “sandwiches”)…

Special Guest: Yusuf, a "Day-Oner", beginner Flyweight MMA enthusiast with some remedial junior Muay Thai experience. This podcast episode was on a different plain of existence, like all episodes before it; simp tales, being "the foreigner", the philosophy surrounding maturity & progress and even more embarrassing stories about past simping. Sometimes when the voices in your head won't stop twerking, you gotta let 'em shake that tushy. This podcast was downright re... ridiculous. Downright ridiculous.    

No it does. But not physically though. It makes your bones soft in far worse of a way. It makes your bones soft, mentally. Although the merits of Karate have been proven over the years in terms of effectiveness, with the likes of "Wonder Boy" Thompson, I still feel as though personally (as a practitioner of the art itself) that most styles that exist in Karate pale in comparison to other striking arts. Does Karate make your bones soft? I do not know. Please consult a medical professional before using Karate and please keep out of reach of children. If this episode offends you, this definitely applies to you and your Karate style.

The majority of fighters are dumb. Let me explain in the episode before you send death threats you damn piranha!!! This is the first solo episode I've done in a while and I'm feeling vulnerable (joking, I'm never vulnerable)  There's more to fighting than simply fighting.  Also... YAO MING!!!

Special Guest: Will "Range-Finder" Downey joins me in one of the realest and most humbling episodes to date. New to the world of Mixed Martial Arts & Combat sports in general, the newly coined, "Range-Finder" still has a lot to learn. However, in his mindset, you can tell that he is legit, and is definitely going to go a long way in the fight game... Step by step guide to happiness: 1. Lay off the videos games and Only Fans girls. 2. Join a Martial arts gym. 3. Learn to fight. 4. Enjoy true confidence and a sense of achievement.

Special Guest: Christian "Mani D'Acciao (Hands of Steel/Iron)" D'Angelo joins me in breaking down toxic masculinity, fighting, existential crisis' and the many "cults" of ideology (and other topics that I forgot about). Muay Thai Fighter, aspiring Bantamweight Mixed Martial Artist and an avid leg-kicker, this is absolutely one of the top podcast episodes that I have done so far... question everything... 

Special Guest: Max Lee (current Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) Blue Belt) and I, the 'spazzy' BJJ White Belt, explore only a fraction of the true artistic  meaning that surrounds the religion of BJJ. Join me in this episode with a true friend and fellow BJJ practitioner, Max Lee, as we... ...vibe (one of the many Jiu Jitsu philosophies that we 'roll' with)

Special Guest: Abdullah "The Afro-Samurai" Ali, invades TFS for the second time for the most viewed episode in TFS history, now upward of 10,000 views!!!

Special Guest: Abdallah "The Afro-Samurai" Ali joins me in figuring out why "Moose and Geese keep the Canadians humble". A Featherweight MMA Fighter, a true friend and practitioner of the arts. Finally, now equipped with someone whose opinion matters, tune in to two Martial Artists talk about: Buddhist Monks on their phones, protecting yourself (in more ways than one) & the RENPHO massage gun (the sponsor of TFS Episode 2!!!). ...or not. But whatever you do, "don't get knocked out in front of your girlfriend"...

So you want to be an MMA Fighter huh? In this podcast I will be exploring my own novice experiences so far in my martial arts journey. Whether it's hurt ego, physical pain, exploitation or the wide variations of different fighters who start training martial arts, this is episode is sure to set TFS on the right path... Despite the uncomfortable nature of talking to one's self.
