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.

I am thrilled with the episode that you have in front of you today because it is maybe my favorite episode of this show that we've done.

At least my favorite one where I've brought on guests from the outside world, not from the office, and sat down with them because I feel it's the most comfortable.

I've ever been in doing these interviews before we get into them.

Remember, rate, comment, subscribe, review, whatever you got to do to this podcast.

I think it's just subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or Spotify or whatever you can do it on.

That helps us out and talk about the show on Twitter. That's the biggest thing for me is just keep the conversation going on Twitter.

You know, the best way to get eyes on the show basically is for me to be tweeting about it, for you to be tweeting about it.

So keep that rolling. Thank you very much. If you have been doing it, I appreciate it so, so, so much.

Now let's get to the interviews. So we have a special Bella tour 222 edition of the show today.

That card is going down tonight June 14th if you're listening to this on release date at Madison Square Garden.

I will be there cage side and I am absolutely stoked. I can't wait.

It's just a stacked card from top to bottom. Even the prelims have people like Aaron Pico and Heather, the heat hardy and Valarilla Turno.

Like these big, up and coming names on it. So top to bottom, stacked card is going to be on the zone at 10 pm.

I think this isn't even an ad. I'm just really, really interested in this card as a mixed martial arts fan.

I spoke to two people associated with it this week. One who is fighting in the co main event and one who is joining the commentary team for the very first time.

So the first interview we're going to get into here is my sit down with Chailpiece Sonnen, the bad guy, the American gangster,

an absolute legend of the sport and someone I've admired for so many years.

You can hear how nervous I was in the beginning of this interview.

I think as it goes along, I get a little bit more comfortable.

But the second interview is with a Lima Lea McFarlane, the Bella Tour 125 pound women's champion.
