Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring.

This is Dale Hummel, along with co-star Ryan Rash. Hello, hello, hello.

Ryan, it's good to be back and I wanted to express a formal thank you to you and Clifton for covering while Chase and I were on adventure in Africa.

So thank you. I'm the most disappointed the lion did not eat you.

It's interesting.

While we were there, there was a tourist in Namibia killed by a lion.

He was on a high-end safari, simply went out of his luxury tent in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.

This is why the lion was at the wrong place.

You were like the Motel 6.

Yes.

We were either staying in the SUV or in a much less expensive place.

And the lion must have good taste.

They like the high end.

Clearly.

You do feel bad for that.

But I think that's just an assume risk that if you're going out there,

do all you can to be safe, but that's always possible.
