Lights Out Radio Presented by MMAForReal.com - Episode 198: The Great Debate

by Matt Bishop on Apr 2, 2010 12:28 PM EDT

Matt, Neil and Forrest will be LIVE! at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT Friday for a special edition of Lights Out Radio. This is a special edition because it will feature a school-like DEBATE between our own Forrest Lynn and friend of the show Zak Woods of WatchKalibRun.com. The two will battle is a best-of-three question series with each participant coming up with a question and Matt coming up with the third. It should be a riot. And if you don't believe so, check Twitter.

So join us for a Lights Out Radio first: THE GREAT DEBATE. Should be a good one.

To call in and cast your vote for the winner, dial (347) 202-0934, e-mail bishop@lightsoutradio.com or leave a question/comment/vote here.

Here are today's three questions:

1) Should a fighter be criticized for attacking an opponent's weakness if that gives them the best chance at winning?

2) What constitutes a more dominant fighter? One who finishes fights or one who wins convincingly by decision?

3) Who is the top fighter in the UFC? Anderson Silva or Georges St-Pierre?

This works on two levels: As a badass rhyme. And as a much needed public service reminder to avoid ring worms.

GSP trains with the Canadian Olympic wrestling team. I have a feeling he knows what time it is.

Zak used a lot of fancy words.

I think he won.

It’s like Luke Thomas and Jordan Breen mated and produced a child.

Except the drops of Forrest and Napolean were pretty lame.

The last few shows

Had the same caller bringing it with a drop from Napolean Dynamite, and another one of Forrest saying something (don’t remember what it was).

Ignore the errors above. You know what I mean. I was trying to type with throw-up in my mouth.

He still mad.

Just saying.

How about a debate that’s guaranteed to produce some fireworks? Here’s a topic: Kate Gosselin or Jon Gosselin? Which is a bigger burden on society?

by Lucas2 on Apr 2, 2010 2:55 PM EDT reply actions

Well he didn't squeeze out eighty kids

I think it’s pretty clear cut right there..

Sorry Zak wrong answer. Everyone knows Jon Gosselin is one of the biggest d-bags that has ever been produced. After popping out 8 kids, dude checks out to go chase tail. No good.

by Lucas2 on Apr 2, 2010 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions

Here’s the timeline as I understand it:

1) They make a litter of kids
2) She’s nuts, he checks out
3) People think he’s a big deal, so they flock to him
4) He embraces it

Nobody thinks he’s a big deal. It is the typical fame-balls that flock to him because they see an easy target that will get them on TV. Dude is such a d-bag he thinks he’s a celebrity (probably the first and only celebrity created by TLC?) and starts acting like hot shit. All the while his crazy wife is at home managing the pack of rabid ankle bitters. Yea she’s crazy and I would not want to ever be married to her but the reality is he married her and spawn an elementary school. It was genius for them to pick up a show to support the family then Don Juan goes and fucks it all up. In the end we’re stuck with these two wannabe celebrities floating around trying to stay relevant and the chances of them magically disappearing while on a family vacation (and saving us all) just went to zero.

by Lucas2 on Apr 2, 2010 3:17 PM EDT up reply actions

Nobody thinks he’s a big deal.

The covers of the magazines at the grocery store checkout aisle disagree. Don’t get me wrong, I spend about as much time looking for him as Matt does the treadmill, but the dude wasn’t cheating on his crazy-ass wife with hotties because he’s some nobody. I mean, the fact that you can get photos of him being douchy pool-side is proof enough that he’s a somebody, at least for now.

I was wondering why there were so many comments here. After seeing the random pictures and discussion of loathsome reality TV personalities, now I know why.

I only started listening to this a few minutes ago so I’ll check out the show on the download to listen to the intelligent tete-a-tete.

Oh, K-1 talk. Cool.

Speaking of that, on that way overrated “comedy” sports site Deadspin, just earlier in the week, Jienotsu was brought up due to his love of elaborate entrances and dressing up like anime characters. Of course, they implied that he’s not “manly”. lol gay, according to those idiots.
