0:00.0	Hey, my mom's basement listeners. You can find our episodes on Apple podcasts, Spotify or YouTube and
0:05.6	Prime members can listen ad-free on Amazon music. Even if you're not a traditional in the May fan,
0:10.8	maybe if you're a my mom's basement listener for the Star Wars episodes or the music episodes or
0:15.6	anything like that, I think you probably might have watched this anyway because it drew in
0:19.7	eyes from all around the world. Obviously, the UFC was the first sport to get back up and running.
0:24.8	I spoke to Dana White earlier in the week about it and I wanted to have Megyn Olivia on because
0:29.2	she was one of the very few people down there in Jacksonville, the skeleton crew that put this

1:16.6	hitch other than that. And to test them it to Dana White, to test them it to the UFC, I'll be
1:21.2	called a bootlicker for saying that, but it really is. Now, I also want to give a quick shout out to
1:26.7	my mom's basement desk, Calvin Cater, because he fought on this card and got a super impressive knockout
1:32.9	victory over Jeremy Stevens. One of his most impressive thus far in his entire career. I mean,
1:38.3	Stevens obviously a legend. He's been around forever. Who the fuck is that guy?
1:42.0	Fucking Calvin Cater, man. This kid has the, I'm calling him a kid. I'm much younger than him.
