| 0:00.0 | What's happening, guys? Happy Tuesday. And thank you for joining. Another special episode of |
| 0:10.3 | your welcome boy. What do you want to get to? I mean, Ronner Rousey caught fire, not to mention |
| 0:14.3 | she popped in to a pay-per-view, which is not something that I would have predicted. In fact, |
| 0:19.9 | I thought that the media was going to be a little resistant to Ronda's return, |
| 0:26.2 | but frankly, she's delivered and she's chosen to not take on Gina Carrano. |
| 0:32.6 | She's chosen to take on the UFC. |
| 0:43.7 | Yeah. to take on the UFC. Rhonda Rousey is back. |
| 0:45.9 | I got to tell you, she left a little bit unceremonious, |
| 0:48.7 | and that's a word that I steal from Errol Hawani. |
| 0:51.7 | But she has come back with such a thunder. |
| 0:56.1 | She pops in on pay-per-view over the weekend, AEW. |

I don't care if they get on a scale. I don't care if it's |
| 1:28.8 | five minutes. I don't care if it's 50 minutes. I want to see the walkouts. I want to see them in the ring. Let's bring some kind of closure. Fade to black and roll the credits. And it works. That's a compliment. That's a very rare spot that you're in. But Rhonda left. she didn't make a lot of friends in MMA media. |
| 1:46.8 | MMA media was not very |
| 1:48.1 | big. There was a lot of dot com. There was a lot of guys trying to make it with their |
| 1:55.7 | recording device and their phone. And then you get the real fancy guy and he's got a YouTube |
| 2:00.4 | channel. And you get a really del real fancy guy and he's got a YouTube channel. |
| 2:02.2 | And you get the really deluxe guy. Maybe he's got something over on Apple and this is before |
| 2:06.5 | Spotify even exists. I mean, this was just the time frame. And then she had made some fancy |
| 2:13.7 | fancy new friends, right? Like all of a sudden you can't do the interview with the people in MMA that are covering MMA, but you can pop in on Ellen's couch. |
