0:00.0	You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.
0:21.4	Welcome back to The Fighter vs. The Rider, I am your host as always, I am Damon Martin,
0:25.9	and today it's a guy I've wanted to have on the show for a while because he's one of the
0:29.5	brightest minds in our sport, and he's also a big star now, he's in the new HBO series Hacks,
0:34.0	and he's got all this stuff going on, he's a triathlete, and he's also one of the best commentators
0:38.0	in all of Mixed Martial Arts, and I'm so happy to welcome in today, my good friend, the Irish Dragon,
0:43.2	Paul Felder, Paul, welcome in, how are you? I'm great, man, thank you. I was just telling you
0:48.4	earlier, we had some mix-ups with our groceries, other than that, it's been a great day today.
0:53.0	Yeah, yeah. It's great to have you in, so what we're going to be doing today, of course,

1:26.5	a pay-per-view or something like that, usually, I mean, there's not too many weeks that go by,
1:31.9	where I don't have a fight either, I just worked one, or I'm about to work one in a week,
1:36.8	or I'm about to work at least a couple in a row, so to have this long of a break has been
1:42.7	refreshing, but also, yeah, odd, I'm finding myself looking forward to getting back to work, for sure,
1:49.0	this year. Yeah, you've done such a phenomenal job with commentary. Let me start right there in
1:55.3	terms of what you've transitioned into doing. I know we've talked before about this, but
