Summary

So this week the Co-Main Event Podcast put five rounds in the books in just shy of one hour, four minutes. Kind of makes you wonder why Ben and Chad can’t typically complete three rounds in under 1:15, huh? In any case, episode 24 sees your dudes take on the big issues, like whether or not there will be an actual “series” in the World Series of Fighting, the measure of Gina Carano’s true fighting spirit and if it’s possible to mobilize the CME voting bloc in order to win Ben the coveted “Best MMA Journalist” prize at this year’s World MMA Awards. Plus, Chad details the plot of a speculative novel he’d like to write about Tank Abbott while Ben opens up about his wish to chronicle the life of Wanderlei Silva. Did we mention the championship rounds? Oh yeah, this one is going five, brother. You know, just so there is no confusion in the future. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:40.5	Ben Fulks, ladies and gentlemen, Ben, do you think that there's any chance this year that you beat out Helwani for this award?
0:47.7	Well, first of all, to all the people who are considering voting for Ariel Helwani, I heard he wasn't even born in the United States.
0:54.1	Oh, wow. This could be a
0:55.2	bombshell. Yeah. I mean, why won't he release his birth certificate? That's what I want to know.
0:59.2	Yeah, or his college records from... Yeah, Syracuse. Yeah, Syracuse. That's right. He did go to Syracuse.
1:05.7	Yeah. Why won't he release his college records? I'm just saying, you know, there are questions that need to be asked.
1:16.3	Do I think I can beat Helwani, who has, I think, literally 10 times as many Twitter followers as I do that he can command to do his bidding? No. However, I will say that if you are hearing the sound

1:28.7	You're dead to me. You're just dead to me. So there's that.
1:31.5	Well, two things about that. First, I'm surprised that the co-main event podcast and
1:35.6	co-manevent.com did not get a nomination for Best Media Source.
1:39.5	Yeah. Bias. Number two.
1:41.1	Mainstream Media.
1:42.4	What if the Co-Main Event podcast mobilizes its base around winning you this award?
1:49.1	Because I know you went to the ceremony last year, did not win.
1:53.1	I believe your wife got drunk and maybe said some weird stuff to John Jones.
