something a much more personally tied to than the financial success of a superhero movie.

But hey, that's what this show is all about.

We're passionate about a lot of stuff, and one of the things we're passionate about here is mixed martial arts.

On today's show, I have Ben Asgren from the UFC, who I spoke with ahead of his freestyle wrestling match with Jordan Burrows at

Beathas Streets, New York City, the grapple at the garden, which is taking place today, May 6th.

Ben was awesome, he took the time out of his busy schedule to sit down with me in New York City at the New York Athletic Club yesterday,

and it was just an absolute delight getting to speak to this dude.

He's a hysterical guy, he's down to earth, and I'm very excited for you to listen to this.

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, funky Ben Asgren.

Okay, welcome back to the show, I am joined by a very special guest.

The show is young, but this still feels like a long time coming.

Ben Asgren, welcome to the show, thank you for doing it, thank you for making the time.

Absolutely.

I heard your fun interview, so let's go.

Okay, well, I'm happy to hear that.

You were a fun interviewer because when I showed up today, you kind of kidnapped me.

Well, I mean, we had stuff to do, so sometimes you got to roll with them.

We had stuff to do, and literally I was waiting for Buddha Ben, our cameraman.

He shouldn't have been slow.
