Happy Wednesday aka On the Nose day!
Hit me with your best questions below. Everything and anything goes. Questions only available to paid subscribers (for one last time, so this is special).
Again, try to keep them short and sweet, if possible. That increases your chances of having the question answered.
And remember: my mate Louis Gilmour is the new mod around these parts, and his job is to select the best 21 or so questions. Deadline to get them in is once the show starts. Good luck, and make ‘em count!
See you at 1 pm et / 10 am pt / 6 pm gmt on the MMAFighting YouTube channel!
Dear Ariel,
Greetings once again from London, Ontario, Canada. Firstly, I want to thank you for the kind and thoughtful Cameo you did on behalf of my girlfriend, Emily, for our anniversary – it made my day. What Emily failed to mention when requesting the Cameo, however, is that the day of our anniversary is also her birthday. Although these two events are on the same day, she is insistent that they require separate dinners, gifts, and even cards. I disagree, as I think it is far more efficient to roll our anniversary and her birthday into one event (with one gift). My question to you is, if a loved one has a birthday that falls on the day of another gift-giving event (e.g. anniversary, religious holiday, etc.) do you consider grouping their gifts together to be socially acceptable? As always, appreciate your valuable insights.
P.S. Given that my girlfriend often comes up in my questions, a couple of posters have asked me to verify her existence. To do so, I’ve sent Louis a photo of the two of us enjoying anniversary drinks (not to be confused with birthday drinks, which she tells me are somehow different). I will leave it to Louis’s discretion as to whether there is time to show this (as an aside, thank you Louis for all your hard work moderating).
Ahoy, Ariel!
I wanted to address New York Richard’s eating habits. As someone who has witnessed Ric eat a hotdog with a fork and knife, you can imagine how perturbed I was when I heard that he truly believes Special K is the all-time great cereal. Feeling slighted by NYR’s dismissal of my interaction with him at the food court and him labeling my question as “creepy fanfare”, I decided to do some research on America’s most unenjoyable cereal.. Special K. Here are some fun facts below.
According to the ICCRE (International Coalition of Cereal Reviewers & Enthusiasts), here are some statistics about Special K that I do hope Ric keeps in mind before making an all-time worst take on your show again.
- Special K was originally developed as pig feed for the Tuberville Humane Society before transitioning to a cereal.
- According to studies, 97% of children in the CONUS prefer rocks to Special K. Just plain old rocks.
- The creator of Special K (Horace Shleegerman Finburgler) has openly admitted to owning a purple PT Crusier with wood side paneling.
- 78% of adults who have bought Special K have stated that they did so in the hopes that it might contain ketamine, only to say they’d rather eat rocks after trying it.
With all of this being said… do you agree with me.. that NYR promoting Special K as the best cereal was by far the worst take to ever be spewed on the MMA Hour?! The proof is in the numbers, Ariel.
Thanks I’ll hang up and listen.
