Summary

First the bad news, kids: There will be no Co-Main Event Podcast next week, since Chad will screw everyone by being out of town. Now that we’ve all processed our grief from that little disappointment, however, we may celebrate the life of this week’s episode of the CME. And what a life it is. Installment No. 29 sees Ben admit that his wife’s pregnancy (and resulting lack of drink) has really made her go over the top in the Christmas decorations department. Meanwhile, Chad does his best to put the jinx on the entirety of the upcoming UFC on Fox 5 card. The guys break down Benson Henderson’s lightweight title defense against Nate Diaz, puzzle over the legacy of BJ Penn and try to figure out whether it’ll be Alexander Gustafsson or Shogun Rua (Rua!) who ends up getting screwed when Jon Jones fights Chael Sonnen instead. All that, plus listener mail, MasterTweet Theatre and Just Sayin’ Stuff. Seriously, you better get two weeks’ worth of enjoyment out of this before the lean times cometh.

Christmasy in your house this week. Yeah. How are you doing with that?

I'm doing fine with it.

0:40.3

I guess I was a little confused when you said another holiday edition because I guess what the whole month is going to be holiday editions of the podcast.

0:47.0

Well, this one seems especially holiday though for, you know, not that the listeners would ever know that because they can't see in here, but you've got the tree up with the lights and the candy canes and stockings hung over the fireplace with care.

1:00.2

Yeah.

1:01.2

It's just we're on the other side of the room, so things seem different to me.

1:06.0

Yeah, we're ready to do the damn thing over here.

1:08.2

Since my wife is pregnant, she somehow seemed to get way more

1:12.6

into doing Christmas decorations and stuff this year. I don't know. That just happens.

1:17.3

Biological or? I think it's related to her not being able to drink. So she has to fill the void

1:22.3

somehow. Solid point. Which one of these stockings is yours? Is it the white one with the Christmas

1:26.6

trees or is it the pink and blue one with the reindeer on it?

1:32.0

The reindeer's.

1:32.8

I'm not going to continue to have this conversation with you.
