I'm getting that download error on this episode as well.

Any idea why?

I get the same error on my iPad Air running iOS 9.3.5

I updated the iPad to 10.2.1 and the episode downloaded fine.

That's ****ing sad.

OK I found this workaround:

Click Search in the Podcast app, type in Pokercast, you're in the store, click on the Pokercast to get a list of episodes. If you download from here, it works, so ****ing odd.

Seventhbok'd.

Still not working for me either and still only one of numerous podcasts having this issue

Sorry about the download issues guys I don't have an immediate solution. I assume this is another problem caused by the hack. I have emailed tech support and hopefully we get this resolved ASAP.

Think T is a little harsh on Keegan. He seems like a nice guy that's just thick as ****. There seemed to be no malice or spitefulness in anything he said, all just good banter intended to hype up the fight.

Anything he said that you think he was offside or nonsensical I think you can chalk up to low IQ and give him a pass.

Obviously hope you win T but +1 for wishing him well in all his other fights

OK, call me lazy, but whatever... I don't feel like going back through the podcast to find the info for the PayPerView for T's fight so he gets credit for the purchase... I found the site at hardknocksfighting [dot] com [slash] watch-ppv-usa but I'm pretty sure I heard T say that he was going to post it in the thread so I didn't stop the podcast and write it down... I'm still tilted that I can't make it up to Calgary to watch him live but at least I'll be able to celebrate St. Patrick's Day at my usual spots ;-) Thanks in advance for the answer...

Really the only thing I take offence to is this idea that "we were supposed to fight in October" and I was ducking him by not doing so.

The exact quote from the specialist who examined my injury was, "you won't be 100%; hell, you won't even be 80%, but it's up to you."

I'm not sorry that I had enough respect for him to not fight him at <80%. Why would he want to fight a suboptimal version of me? He wants all this credit for "3 fights in one month". So great, you're 27 years old and doing a charity boxing match and a grappling match three weeks before your fight and you want some credit for that? I'm a drug-free 36-year old athlete. I have to be smarter. Adam alluded to the age difference in the interview and Keegan blew it off, but let's not pretend that being 27 and being 36 have the same recovery time.

But overall I agree with you. He's not being malicious, he's just not that bright. As I said, it's a good thing that he's a good fighter.

+1 for Steven Pressfield's "The War of Art". I just finished the audiobook and it was especially dramatic listening with speed-sensitive volume on. When you speed up in the car the volume increases to cover the road and engine noise and it added some punch to a few passages.

This is just how I thought it came across, but I think you could have took the higher ground (which I was expecting you to do). Not sure you needed to be so hard on him. Think you have to give him credit for chasing you for a fight, coming onto the podcast, into the lions den and talking about his experience.

I wasnt expecting to like the interview, but I actually did.

he was obv getting under Ts skin. also i dont get how adam thinks its a good idea to get Ts opponent on BEFORE the fight and give him a chance to talk **** about him on his own show. wtf lol...

i also found Ts comeback aka "i'm smart, he's dumb" pretty lame tbh and it does not really prove ur point as well :P

To be fair, I don't think Keegan was out of line at all, think he talked about T with respect for his game etc. mentioned he was gonna hurt him, but in the words of Turkish "It's not a tickling competition". Really felt like Keegan won the battle of words with the way T reacted to what he said. I am sure Keegan is going to get beat though.

T's bit on Keegan seemed like it was semi-scripted and an attempt to get into Keegan's head, especially the "maybe there's a reason you have the record oh have" bit.
