Hey everybody, welcome to UFC Unfilter. There will be some profanity. Matt Zara is away with Dana White, but he does give a quick call in and the great Eddie Alvarez comes in and hangs out for about 45 minutes.

And he's awesome and a real good interview and a really good dude. So I don't know why I'm just fucking babbling. I should have just said Eddie Alvarez and Matt Zara and shut my fat face.

He's awesome. Matt can't stop right?

UFC in digital media present UFC Unfiltered with Jim Norton and Matt Zara powered by digital media. Find war voice.

And now your host Jim Norton and Matt Zara.

All right. Welcome to UFC Unfiltered. It's only me Jim Norton. Matt died. Said tell, but we move on. You're going to be missed Matt. No, he's away taping with Dana. So we're supposed to get a call from Matt in a little while.

We're going to see what happens and we have the great Eddie Alvarez coming in, which I'm really happy he's going to be in studio. We've already talked to Eddie on the phone.

And phoneers are hard. I've been doing radio for a long time and even doing radio for a long time. It's hard for me to talk on the phone when I'm not in the studio.

There's certain guys that are just great on the phone. Bill Burr, comedian Bill Burr. If you don't know who Bill Burr is, you're just a bit of a dope. He's a hilarious comedian and he's fucking great on the phone.

Bill can literally just own the room. Don't I'm watching soccer and like you're interested. He's just good. The cock soccer is just good at talking.

Andrew Dice Clay, arguably the best phone guest in history. He could own the entire room as well on the, you know, how you throw any girls in there? And you're like, yes, my wife, how big is it?

I'm like, within a minute, you're telling him everything and the whole room is his J more another great phone guest, Jim Norton not so much.

Not a great phone guest. Hopefully Matt Sarah will be or he'll be drummed off this podcast immediately, cracking down.

But he's away fucking around with Dana. I don't know exactly where they are. A couple of quick things to get out of the way. I always forget to plug my gigs.

So if you're a big Jim Norton fan, how could you not be? I mean, if you have ears, I'm coming up to Buffalo, the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, because I'm shooting a new one hour special and not my shooting it in Buffalo for nights.

But I'm warming up for it now and then I go to Australia, Melbourne, Sydney. So go to gymnorton.com to get tickets, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh coming up Toronto coming up.

A whole bunch of great gigs getting ready for this special. I'm very psyched to be shooting another special. So if you want to check me out, you know, feel free. That's your business. I'm not going to tell you the shouldn't.

I think I should start with this one. What do you think? I'm sure. Yeah, before we talk about the fights because I did watch the most of the fights on Fox Sports, well, not all of them.

But I watched a lot of them. And it's so hard in this day and age to avoid Twitter. Because I really am like, I don't want the fights spoiled for me. I don't want to know who won. I'm just like a boy. I want eagerness and excitement. By the way, on Twitter.

Okay, we don't need to hear fucking mad man show sucks. I know a bunch of those are going to come in. Pie from Dana and me.

Okay.

Listen, I only apologize in advance for a couple of things. Number one, I'm going to be sniffling a lot this show. I have shit scientists to begin with. But we're not in the room that we're normally in because we're taping in a different time because we were going to accommodate Eric Andre. Did I mention him yet?
