Hey my mom's basement listeners, you can find our episodes on Apple podcasts, Spotify or YouTube, and

Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon Music.

So thank you to everyone who listened to everyone who subscribed, rated, reviewed, downloaded, whatever, sent me a message, especially those who sent me messages on Twitter and on Instagram and all over social media,

saying how excited you were about the podcast, how excited you were about the Dana White interview, how much you liked the Dana White interview or one of the segments on it.

Thank you so much, I can't express my gratitude enough. I know it's like super cheesy to say, but it was truly overwhelming.

Like I got so many DMs I tried to respond to them all, I know I didn't, I'm sorry if I didn't respond to yours.

Just know I am truly so appreciative of everyone that reached out, it meant the world to me.

So without further ado, we got to get into this episode.

The From the Top Rope Reunion episode where Jared Krabis and I reunited, we sat down and recorded a preview for this year's WrestleMania that I believe is one of the best shows we've ever done.

I really had fun editing this, I laughed a lot, I hope you guys do the same.

But we got to address some news first.

My guy, Conor McGregor was in the news a lot this week and it was not for anything good.

He tweeted on Monday night after I was sound asleep, this is 118 AM Eastern Standard Time.

I was sound asleep celebrating the launch of my mom's basement.

I was so excited, I was like, man, that couldn't have gone any better, I got such great love and support from you guys.

I went to bed early, I woke up to my R2D2 text tone going bananas like R2D2 is getting shot on the back of an X-Wing or something.

And it's because Conor McGregor tweeted the following, he said, hey guys, quick announcement, I've decided to retire from the sport formally known as Mixed Martial Art Today.

I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition.

I now join my former partners on this venture already in retirement, proper Pena Coladas on me Phyllis.

This obviously coming out of nowhere Conor was just saying how much he wanted to get back in the cage, how much he wanted to fight on that July 6th UFC 239 card.

And I spoke to Dana as you guys heard last week and it sounded like they were pushing to make that happen.

Dana, all of a sudden, says they can't get something together.
