0:00.0	How do you feel when you switch to Geico and save on your car insurance? It's like going to work
0:05.2	on one Thursday morning and thinking to yourself just one more day until Friday. But then somebody
0:11.3	in the elevator says, happy friday. Then you check your phone quickly and discover today is
0:16.7	actually Friday. So yes, happy friday, random stranger in the elevator. Happy Friday indeed. Yep,
0:24.6	switching and saving with Geico feels just like that. Get more with Geico. Hello, it is Ryan,
0:30.6	and we could all use an extra bright spot in our day, couldn't we? Just to make up for things like
0:35.0	sitting in traffic, doing the dishes, counting your steps, you know, all the mundane stuff. That is why I'm such a big fan of Chumba Casino.

1:12.3	Do you see the problem now? folk, there's one guy, there just happens to be one guy, and that one guy might be going up to 55.
1:13.4	Do you see the problem now?
1:22.4	What's happening, guys?
1:23.8	Happy Tuesday, and thank you for joining.
1:26.5	Another special episode if you're welcome. Man, what a weekend it was.
1:29.6	We got Connor McGregor doing one of the all-time troll jobs. We got Ilya Taboria and he's saying he can tap out Alex Volcanowski, which does not seem easy to do.
1:38.7	And I'm going to tell you why Marab is sabotaging his own career. But before we get into any of that, guys, the emotions were high on Saturday morning
1:48.7	between Max Holloway and the Korean zombie and it's only right to begin today's show here.
2:00.7	Let's talk honor.
