You're listening to the Co-Main Event Podcast, and now your hosts, Ben Folks and Chad Dundas.

That's right. You're tuned in to another episode of the co-main event mixed martial arts podcast.

I'm your co-host, Chad Dundas from BleacherReport.com. And joining us, as always, from

MMA junkie and USA Today, it's Ben, folks. Ben, how are you doing this week? I'm doing fantastic.

You know, I guess we better start off with a mea culpa, don't you think?

Should we?

Well, last week we did say, or maybe it was two weeks ago on the podcast, we said that we would have the announcement of the winners of the second annual white elephant essay contest.

Oh, that.

To announce on this week's podcast.

But people can probably tell from your reaction that we don't actually have that quite done yet.

You know, it's like every time you bring it up, whether on the podcast or just like when we're talking to each other, I immediately think, oh, right, yeah, I'm going to sit down and I'm going to start sorting through some of these.

And then as soon as we're not talking about it anymore, I completely forget.

Yeah, I think I told you in an email last week, whenever the last time we discussed this and then immediately forgot it was that I feel that old, like, dread of having to grade papers from when we used to teach English when we were in graduate

school. And it's this weird feeling. It's like, you know it's not going to be that hard.

And like, you will actually probably enjoy it because I know that we have some good essays in

that I eyeballed when they first came in. But then it's just like this dread of starting.

That's right. Yeah. Maybe the same feeling that stops me from going out and running a mile.

That's not true.

I've seen you run a mile all the time.

That's my cardio is sick.

That's true.

That's what they say about Chad Dennis running here on the north side.
