Today's episode of The Ryan Riscilla Podcast on the Ringer Podcast Network is brought to you by State Farm.

0:16.0

Just like sports, the game of life is unpredictable. Talk to a State Farm agent and get a teammate who can help you navigate the unexpected.

0:22.0

What was unexpected from the UFC? I don't know that the Gachi win was that unexpected. I don't think so.

0:31.0

And we're going to talk with John Anik about that. The voice of the UFC with Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier.

0:37.0

He's going to join us. A guy I have known for a really long time. One of my first jobs. His first job on the air was being co-host with me, which I don't know.

0:45.0

I don't know. We could probably do a longer version of that podcast some other time. We're not going to do it today though. Get a teammate like John Anik who can help you navigate the unexpected talk to a State Farm agent today.

So that's the plan. John Anik on UFC 249, even a little Joe Rogan stuff because I think Anik who sat next to Rogan now for years. He's never been on Rogan's podcast, which everybody asks to be on. I will not ask to be on it.

2:13.0

Hey, let's let's get these kids to watch a space launch.

2:17.0

And it felt like the world like everybody would turn it on still. You know, it felt like missions, even though the moon landings had stopped.

2:25.0

Like these kinds of missions were a big deal. And then when the challenger disaster happened that was January 28, 86.
