Hey guys Paul here with a little bit of bad news. You know how right now you can hear me loud and clear.

Not so much the case for the remainder of the episode. Made a, as they would say, in the biz job or mistake and forgot to unmute my microphone. Cody sounds great.

So managed to do a little bit of post editing and I think I was able to salvage it. Decided to can the video but audio is here and I think it's possible.

I don't know. Hope it's alright and it's not too much of a struggle for you. I'm super super hollow throughout it. You'll see there's a two week break for the UFC after this and I assure you when we come back from our little break, I'll have my shit together. So sorry again. Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to another edition of the dog or past podcast this for UFC. Sao Paulo, plahovitch versus Jacaree. Paul, Sean, and Cody, Saffteck here in studios with you.

Let's ask.

Coming up. Russia.

Now we're in Brazil.

You know, we go to Brazil like 10 times a year at this point. So anyway, before we get to any of this, we've got winners from last week. We have our winner from last week.

Lafla 84. Congratulations to you.

You are the winner of $20. EK dollars. It should be in your account right now.

If it's not, it's common. Ask all the other people who have collected their cash in the past.

It's common. It's good for a man. It's good for a good for a good for a. Anyway, Cody's going to tell you.

How you can win $20. EK dollars this week like Lafla did last week.

We spent a lot of time last week discussing the possibility of hometown cooking. And to be honest, other than maybe one fight, there wasn't really only a hometown.

They could have screwed some people over. They could have pulled the dirty dirty for the most part. Pretty accurate judging.

So, you know, maybe hometown cooking was in a factory in Russia. Now we're in Brazil. Surely it's something we've normally talked about is little hometown cooking. Paul.

You and I we always talk about hometown cooking. So the question in this week is hometown cooking a real thing? Are we fucking full of it here?

Does it really not matter? Sometimes you have see brings their own judges or American guys. People say that the crowd factors in.

Sometimes it does and sometimes is it a real thing or is it just plain and simple? Let that not be a factor. There's no narrative. Just pick the better fighter.

What do you think? Clearly, clearly, I think you believe that hometown cooking is a real thing.

The whole bunch of like tweets and stuff if it's not. We eating whatever the local cuisine is maybe as partially a joke. Brazil has been a lot better over the last few years.
