Hey everyone, it's Arya Hawani and I wanted to let you know that each and every week

0:04.4

I'm part of a great program called the Ringer MMA Show. I hosted alongside two absolutely brilliant

0:10.3

minds, their names, Chuck Mendenhall and Pete C. Carroll and every Thursday a new episode drops

0:16.0

where we preview the weekend in mixed martial arts and react to all the biggest news.

0:21.0

Plus, after every UFC pay-per-view, we give you a post-fight show. So this is what you have to do.

0:27.5

Just follow the Ringer MMA Show on your Spotify app, so you don't miss an episode. We'll talk to you then.

Hello and welcome to Group Shot. I am Justin Barrier. Joining me is always Rob Mahoney.

2:02.8

Okay. There's a slightly adjacent demo, but we'll forgive the transgression.

2:08.4

Was MCR like your wedding song? No, I mean, look, I won't allow any MCR disparagement on this podcast,

2:16.7

but they're a little like to down the middle emo for my taste. It's a whole podcast onto itself.

2:22.8

Interesting. Not deep cut enough. Not deep cut enough. I mean, look, they have some deep cuts that
