Tonight, Triller is hosting its second huge boxing event, with internet celebrity Jake Paul once again stepping into the boxing ring to take on former UFC fighter Ben Askren. The entire show is serving up a total of seven boxing matches plus a ton of live musical performances. The fun kicks off at 9 PM ET, but you can read on to get an idea of when the main attraction is likely to pop off — and don’t forget to buy the Paul vs. Askren pay-per-view on FITE.tv if you haven’t already so you can stream it live.

This Triller Fight Club event kicks off tonight at 9 PM, but with seven fights on the card happening alongside a bunch of live musical acts, we expect this packed show to last most of the night. Triller hasn’t released any official schedule for it yet, however. Nonetheless, we can glean some details from the Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones, Jr. exhibition that Triller and the Legends Only League hosted together last November.

The Tyson vs. Jones event lasted about three hours with five fights on the card (the bout between Jake Paul and Nate Robinson serving as the co-main event) and without the numerous musical acts we’re looking forward to tonight. The pre-show entertainment started at 8 PM ET with the main card fights following at 9 PM Jake Paul and Nate Robinson walked into the ring at around 11 PM, with the Tyson and Jones bout following at midnight.

The main events on these fight cards happen toward the end of the show — they want to keep people glued to their seats, after all — so don’t expect Jake Paul and Ben Askren to perform their ring-walks at 9 PM when the show begins. Since this is a longer event with more fighters and a ton of live “mini-concerts” planned, we don’t think we’ll get to see the Paul vs. Askren fight kick off until midnight at the earliest and possibly quite a bit later than that.

Nonetheless, this is a pay-per-view event, and if you’re going to shell out $50 for it, you’re probably going to watch the whole thing. If you’re looking to stream Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren online, you still have time to sign up for FITE.tv and buy the PPV package.

Do you know the myth of Napoleon (the pig…not the man)

Napoleon

One of the many times I watched The Gentlemen, I laughed at the scene where Matthew (Jeremy Strong) joked that it was illegal in France to name a pig Napoleon. Of course, there are ridiculous laws all over the place. Want a few? In Georgia, it is illegal to eat fried chicken with a fork. In Arkansas, it is against the law to say the name incorrectly. Which means Bill Clinton would have come after me for years of me saying “ARE-Kansas.” It is prohibited to sleep on top of a refrigerator in Pennsylvania. That means my cat is a thug in Penn. And one of my favorites: It is illegal for unmarried women to parachute on Sundays.

The point is that there are crazy laws all over the place that seem completely ridiculous, and there is almost always a story behind them. So, is the Napoleon pig law a real thing? Is it illegal to raise a swine and name it after the legendary French Emperor? Well, let’s dig in. Why? Because I am a nerd and I need company in the weeds.

Who does James Bond work for? And is MI6 real?

James Bond Specter double breasted

We have some news on the movement of the next James Bond. According to reports, we are looking at the final four (we know of three). Jack Lowden (Slow Horses, Dunkirk), Callum Turner (Eternity, One Night Only), and Josh O’Connor (The Crown, Challengers) are all in the final running to portray the next 007. We also, allegedly, have a fourth, unannounced actor in the running. But of course we do. And since we have news and movement on the James Bond front, I started thinking about what the next movie will be about. That took me down a rabbit hole, and I landed on a question. What is MI6? James Bond’s employer is a shadowy government agency, like Jason Bourne’s Treadstone or Ethan Hunt’s Impossible Mission Force (IMF). But there is one major difference between them and the organization that signs 007’s paychecks.

His is real.

A toast to excellence: Don’t overthink lighting a cigar…but don’t underthink it either

Face, Head, Person

When I first decided I was ready to try cigars for the first time, I was ready to jump right in and sit back to enjoy the experience. Then, something crazy happened. I couldn’t light it. It seemed so simple. Flame, meet cigar. It really couldn’t be that complicated. But I ran into a slew of problems. The wrong kind of flame, canoeing, an uneven burn, and the damn thing kept going out, causing me to restart the embarrassing process. So I reached out to my friends over at La Aurora to find out what I was doing wrong.

That is when I found out from their own John Gaglio that these issues are very common and there is no reason to be embarrassed. Instead, don’t overthink lighting your cigar. And don’t underthink it. Instead, try to use the following tips and enjoy the experience without shame.
