What's up gang!

It is with no small sense of relief I am writing this post video release update. I've been stressing over this video now for ages, I was worried it wasn't as good as the other FF&C entries, or that people wouldn't give a shit about a video about a guy who hasn't been relevant since the 80's, was worried the production was taking too long, you name it.

But the reception from all of you over the last week has been genuinely fantastic, thank you to all of you who signed up just to watch it, or the long timers who've been here since day one. I appreciate all of you immensely.  The release on YT has gone over really well too. We broke new records for a live premiere, with over 2000 people watching live, which is insane! I think the Conor McGregor video premiere had 300 people watching, and I remember thinking I'd never top that number! But here we are. Its hit 70k views in one day, and while they always generally trail off after the first day, that's still pretty damn impressive! Who knew old Frank was still so popular.

There were a few screw ups in there that the eagle eyed among you spotted, such as one point where i said Bloodsport came out in 98 not 88, and Bolo Yeung being 43 not 53, but honestly by the time of uploading to YouTube, I kinda tapped out and just left it as it was. I couldn't face the thought of any more re-recording and editing.  Not the most professional attitude but I have never in my life claimed to be a professional. At anything.

So what's next is a brief respite, to catch up on a bit of rest and some videogames, maybe finally get to turn on the PS5 I bought and never got to use. This was the first weekend in 2 months I've gotten to sleep later than 9am so I'll enjoy that for another few weeks.

I'm thinking this may be the summer of finishing trilogies tho, so for the next one I'm leaning towards finishing the TUF trilogy. Not 100% decided yet but we'll see how it goes. Also toying with the idea of putting all 3 of the Fakes and Frauds videos into a supercut just for the hell of it.

It was also pointed out to me that digging through all the old Patreon posts to find the passwords for the older videos is a pain in the ass, so I'm going to reset all the old videos to use the same password, and I'll post it up here for everyone when its done.

I'm still working on the series idea too. At the moment I don't really want to get my hopes up, as this is still a serious hail Mary longshot, but the guy I'm working with on this seems to genuinely think it'll be sold and his enthusiasm is getting kinda infectious so lets just say today it seems far more plausible than it did a month ago. Here's an old version of a trailer I made for it:

I removed a lot from this version and removed the awful filter on the Pride segment, so the final trailer is fairly different and in my humble opinion much better, but I cant post that version yet!

Anyway, that's about it for now, thank you all again for the support and encouragement over the last couple of months! No doubt I'll be updating you on my Fast & Furious marathon again soon. 

Take care everyone!

There was absolutely no drop in quality and I'm not sure if it's Dux who's still popular or you getting more recognized. Unrelated but did you loved the MGS game series for real or you really find Kojima fucked up or both? I really enjoyed this series lol. Anyway, thank you for another masterpiece!

I know you were watching the F&F franchise as a self punishment for the video being delayed; but the video is out now, you no longer need to punish yourself with F&F

Svetya

The video was awesome, enjoy your break!

Yousuf Abdul-Malik

That video was an absolute masterpiece. And the ENDING! Man I was laughing until tears were in my eyes. You've got some good stats man. 🤣

SLN

You are a funny bastard. Quality was great.

Allan Hutton

You put so much effort into these things I feel almost guilty saying that after a few views my favourite part is when Gandalf rides over the crest of a hill and Frank is there doing his bespoke squats 😂😂😂

Allan Hutton

Now go rest 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Since you enjoy punishing yourself Nap, maybe boot up Demon's Souls on that shiny new PS5? Thank you for the effort, as always.

Hey new member... Just wanted to say I really enjoy all your videos exposing the frauds and the tricksters. The narcissist and the ego trippers.. The bullshutters and the 🤡 ... Your sense of humor and wit leave me laughing until it hurts... You truly do have a way with words and for some reason you take a lot of our thoughts and put it to video.. Lol the Conor McGregor video that's was amazing lol he is such a terd. Lost all respect after he got rich and arrogant. But really all your videos are well thought out and just awesome. I will continue to support your vision and we thankful for all the work you put into these vids.. cheers mate from Northern California way up in the 🏔️ Mountains.... Keep up the good laughs ...

Personally, couldn't care less about Frank. But if you do a video of paint drying, I'll watch it and no doubt enjoy it.

Morgan Evans

Loved every vid since getting my socks blown into the alligator moat by Madness of Make Believe Martial Arts. Your one liners are the true dim mak. Apparently the new street fighter character creator is good, make yourself an Ashida Kim

Over 200k now! Will you be going on the Dogg Zzone to promote the video? I'm a new member who found you through 1-900-Hotdog. Thanks for all the great videos! I knew nothing about MMA but now I'm really fascinated by it and by the history. I hope you make the series on the history of martial arts.

Gotta say that as a guy who subscribed cuz you remade the tapout website and made a video about it that gave me a nostalgic nut you've done nothing but improve and watching that series trailer gave me that same feeling. Can't wait till you hopefully get 100k Patreon subs so you can quit your job and just make videos. Love ya nap just do what you do and I'll be here.

Just stumbled upon an amusing tidbit in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOxvfoS498w&pp=ygUQd2FzIHVmYyAxIHJpZ2dlZA%3D%3D Apparently, one of the UFC 1 fighters, Zane Frazier, was invited after he kicked Frank's arse at a Martial Arts Event. To use a contemporary analogy, seems that old Frank was in the early MMA like King Bowser-turned-fungus in the Super Mario Bros. (1993) movie. He was annoying and he was everywhere.
