Dojo Talk Podcast

This is the audio version of a Youtube video I made. In the video I talked about how claiming that we're "too old" to enjoy a hobby that we love ultimately robs us of our happiness.

I just wanted to take some time to vent about the things I see in the content creation space of Youtube that I'm not a fan of. I'm sorry that this was kind of a ramble video but I felt like I had to speak on how I've truly been feeling for a while. I would also love to hear your thoughts in the comment section.

This PPV was way too crazy for us not talk to about it so we got back in the Dojo to talk about all of the moments from UFC 300.

We start off briefly poking some fun at PFL audio issues before diving right into UFC 300. We go over the monstrous left hook that Pereira wrecked Hill with, the weirdness of Zhang Vs Yan, Max Holloway's all time violent performance and so much more.

Thank you guys for listening!
