0:00.0	You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast, and now your host, Ben Folks and Chad Dundas.
0:18.0	That's right. You're listening to a very special episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast. I'm Chad Dundas, along with Ben Fulks. We're both senior writers and M.M.A. for the athletic. And we meet here every single week to chop up all the prominent, newsworthy, and hilariousings in the world and mixed martial arts,
0:38.7	Ben, you're in Australia.
0:41.5	I'm in Australia.
0:43.0	It's Thursday morning for you right now.
0:46.5	Thursday, about 7 a.m. here in Australia.
0:49.9	It's lovely. It was really nice to leave Montana with snow on the ground and then come here,
0:53.9	and it's spring come here and it's

1:42.3	I've heard tell. My wife used to live there for a time.
1:46.5	Well, here's what I like about Melbourne. It's Melbourne. That's how they say it. Did you know that? Melbourne.
1:52.9	You're remarkably accent free so far.
