Keith fires up Blunt Talk with a no-filter wish list for the year ahead — starting with everything he wants to see go down in the UFC, from dream fights to total chaos in the rankings. He moves into his hopes for movies, TV, and must-watch documentaries, then slides into the music he’s craving and the podcast shows he’s part of and wants to see grow. It’s part hype, part hot takes, and all Keith — a laid-back but brutally honest look at what he wants the next year to deliver.

This episode carries a loose, late-night, slightly unhinged energy that feels like hanging out with someone who’s had a long week and finally gets to just let it all spill out. There’s a constant rhythm of humor and reflection, where frustration turns into laughs and small everyday moments get blown up into something oddly comforting and relatable. It moves with a natural flow, bouncing between sharp wit and laid-back storytelling, giving off that feeling of controlled chaos where nothing is too serious but everything somehow still hits just right. It’s the kind of episode that doesn’t try to be perfect — it just wants to be real, funny, and keep you company for a while.
