Good evening everyone!
We finally almost made it. This is in all likelihood, the 2nd last video update before I get this one finished. But if everything goes as planned, By early-mid next week, I'll be done with the fantasy world of Frank Dux.
I've been non stop writing, recording and editing this weekend, and as such, we're up to a full hour of Dux themed insanity. The video is ending o...

Good evening!
Look at that beautiful, convoluted mess of a timeline! I've been diligently working away all weekend, and as of right now, we're at just about 44 minutes deep into The Wizarding world of Frank Dux.
So far, it covers Franks early life and his introduction to martial arts, part 2 is his military career, and part three is his secret agent shit. We're into endgame now, as...
2023-06-18 22:40:39 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
So I've added a private Discord channel now for you guys only. I believe if you link your Patreon to Discord, you should automatically see it show up in your eligible servers.
info on that is here: Getting Discord access – Patreon Help Center
If any of you can test it out and let me know if its working, that'd be great!
If it fails, just let...
2023-06-14 22:52:33 +0000 UTC View PostOkay, so after the disastrous first attempt at creating a server, I went back and actually watched a tutorial on how to set up a server, and then tried again.
You can join here: https://discord.gg/DFkhbYfY
I've set up a private channel for Patrons only, I'll figure out how to add you all to it so when we open it up to the shitmunchers you can hide from them in there.
I still don't really know what the point ...

While writing today i described Franks book "The Secret Man" as a book that "aims for James Bond but lands on Navy Seal Copypasta". So naturally I had to test out A.I generated Frank Dux reciting the whole thing. The funniest thing about it is, coming from Frank Dux, none of this shit sounds exaggerated. Also the A.I managed to do a scarily good impersonation of Dux.
For anyone unfamiliar, the navy seal copypasta was a post made on 4chan (i think) that was an attempt to sound incr...

Good evening gang!
It's that time of the week again, it's the DUX DATE.
Work continues at pretty steady pace, I've managed to adjust my writing and editing sessions around the new day job, and while I still don't have as much time to spare for the video as I'd like, I'm getting back into a rhythm now and we've just hit 30 minutes of work! I went back and added a very short intro, because...

Good evening Just Bleed crew!
I hope you all had a good weekend, and if you made it to the live stream yesterday, I hope you enjoyed that too. Despite the technical difficulties which are pretty much standard for me now, it was a lot of fun. I guess it's cause I stream so infrequently that each time I do it, its like setting it up from scratch all over again. And you'd be surprised just how much work it is trying to get everything set up if you haven't done it before. It's an absolute b...
2023-06-05 00:13:24 +0000 UTC View PostI get these low effort scam emails constantly. These people must genuinely think you're operating with Monson-level stupidity to think that the brand manager from Evian is going to email you from a Chinese based free email account.
Anyway, I've decided to start replying to all of them with pictures of Ashida Kim
Good evening Ninjas!
I am up to my fucking eyeballs in Ninjas. Every time I turn around, there's a Ninja. I open a book, a Ninja jumps out. I take a shit, there's a ninja in the bowl. This is known as the "Dux effect". Once you start digging into this guys story, its wall to wall fucking ninjas. I mean, did you know there was a clan of Ninjas in the Hollywood Hills and they performed the buria...

Okay so this time around I actually have an update, and that update is as follows:
I've finally started the Dux video.
Big news, I know!
I'm currently working on the intro, I've written the whole thing and laid down the first couple of minutes of video, It's a bit of a weird one. As usual its only tangentially related to the subject a la The Strokes "Room on Fire" bashing that opened The TUF 2 video. I'll probably get more hate for this ...
2023-05-22 23:30:33 +0000 UTC View PostGood evening everyone! Welcome to the inaugural Frank Dux video update.
Okay, so shit it's not that bad. But right now I'm still only in the researching phase, so unfortunately, I don't have a single sentence written, or piece of video laid down to talk about!
What I have done, is watch Bloodsport, and read more of Dux' memoir. All I have to say is: how the fuck did anyone ever think this...

The next video, as voted for BY YOU, I might add, with a whopping 43% of the vote, is none other than The Wizarding World Of Frank Dux (title subject to change as I literally just thought of it this second).
Be it on your own heads, whatever happens next, you all asked for this. May god forgive us. It's Frank Fucking Dux. The greatest charlatan the world of martial arts has ever known. I've held off doing a Dux video so long as I wasn't sure how to even begin to tackle a white ...

As a thank you to all of you, for the first time I've decided to open up the choice of the next video to you guys. Poll results are legally binding which means no backsies, whatever option wins gets next.
The poll will stay open 'til this Friday, so should give you all plenty of time to get a vote in!

First off, yes, that's the man, El Guapo, Bas Rutten himself, discussing potentially liver shotting me, and it is THE SINGLE GREATEST MOMENT OF MY YOUTUBE CAREER.
It turns out a friend actually trains with Bas, and was super fucking cool enough to harass Bas into recording this for me which might be the best thing anyone's ever done for me.

Well this is it, unless something drastic happens in the next couple of days, this should be the final update before the video gets uploaded. You can tell I'm almost done because i had time to mess around making more fake movie posters. I'm actually still not settled on a title for the video yet, I just thought of that old martial arts movie "best of the best" and figured well, this shit is the worst of the worst, so why not? The initial name was just going to be Power Slap: Chronic...

Hey everyone,
FC sent me clips from the event last week, so I thought I'd share them with you guys. If you haven't see the show you can at least see what I contributed to it!!
It's also worth pointing out that when Mike Goldberg is reading his lines, the video playing in the background is one of the gag Fight Circus trailers I made way back when I was just starting making MMA videos. So now Goldie knows who i am!!
Also, I just got a Djent metal cover of Seagal's "Strut...

Hey everyone!
I hope you're all doing well and enjoyed UFC 286, just wanted to give another relatively quick update on the status of the video.
So the video is split into 3rds, and I just finished the second 3rd tonight, clocking in at 36 minutes total. So yeah, that short ass video I was planning on making will probably run about an hour by the time I get done with it. The final s...

So I guess I can count Bo Katan from The Mandalorian as a fan now?? The amazing thing about making these videos is the people I've met thanks to them. I've gotten to know incredible people right here on Patreon (you know who you are!), and occasionally, I'll get contacted by people who I have a massive amount of respect for (you also know who you are.. Felix Biederman, creator of Fighting in the age of Loneliness, oh shit did i give that one away, damn). But one of the wildest so far is well,...

Okay, so Its finally time for a brief update on the cats/next video!
The video is coming along well. I've completed the intro (3 minutes), and the first segment which focuses on X-Arm (about 15 minutes). One thing I love about researching these subjects is that if you dig deep enough, you come across some of the weirdest shit imaginable. I wont spoil anything yet, as its going into the video, but I stumbled across some shit that almost made me spit out my coffee with laughter this after...

So this was supposed to be my first update on the status of the next video, but unfortunately it's also mostly an update on why I WON'T be getting much work done for the next week or so.
So Biscuit, as you can see, has been to the vets to deal with a gigantic open wound on his left side we only discovered on Friday night. We don't know how it happened, the vet said it was too deep to have been another cat, but regardless of the cause the outcome is several stitches, and an incredi...

Real talk, this is one of the coolest things to happen to me since i started making videos. Shoutout to Bob and Fight Circus!!
FC have roped in fucking Rampage and Bob Sapp for their next show, so if i can get a death threat form Rampage my life will be complete. I'll be providing some voice over work again for FC6, so look out for it!!

First off, just had to say a huge thank you to, well, all of you. The latest video really brought in quite a few new Patrons, and when I say I couldn't do this without you guys, that's the absolute truth. As the videos have gotten longer and more complex in terms of researching and editing over the last year or so, the financial support from you guys has really helped. From simple stuff like paying for a logo to be designed by a professional instead of something I knocked up in 5 minutes in &...

So with the video mostly done, It's time to chat shit about this one for a bit while I'm waiting on the youtube version to render, cause I cant play any videogames while rendering, and thanks to all the Jake Paul videos I watched, my Youtube algorithm is shot to shit and only recommending me garbage!
So speaking of the Youtube version, this is the most butchering I've had to do to a video to attempt to get it past Youtubes censorship ever. The YT overlords really do think all of us are ...
2023-02-24 00:20:25 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update, anyone trying to watch the new video in the next hour or so (at time of writing its 11:39pm, GMT, 21st Feb) the video may be unavailable for you for about an hour.
I'm replacing the existing version with one that has corrected a few audio/visual glitches. It'll be uploaded and processed in roughly an hour I'd say. After that its good to go. Same URL, same password.

Good news everyone! The video is 100% complete and just in some need of polishing, rendering, compressing, and finally, uploading! I'd imagine at this rate, I'll get it uploaded for you tomorrow evening, maybe even tonight if all goes well.
Its 1 hour 43 minutes long, which makes it the longest video I've ever done. And I know Jake Paul in the thumbnail and title might turn you off, but don't worry, this video covers 80 years of spectacle ass fights. From Jack Dempsey vs Cowboy Luttrell...

Just wanted to give you a quick progress update. While I'd love to do a bit of a longer post, I'm pretty neck deep in the video at the moment, and without any kinda time off from my 9-5 in the forseeable, (might be feeling a few sick days coming up soon tho, *cough cough*) I only get a couple of hours each night to try and work on writing/editing.

Just so you all know I'm actually putting in work and not sitting around all day playing the Dead Space remake, I've uploaded a teaser for the boxer vs wrestler manga adaptation.
