    Funny story. A female politician just got killed and we honor her. The people that are fed up actually are not white men 25-70. No one should celebrate death. Thats sickening. But lets celwbrate and homor an actual servant of her community.

  • Best MMA Pod

    I’ve listened to all the top MMA podcasts, but this is by far the best out there. Bisping is always entertaining. A wealth of knowledge and anecdotes about the sport. Although the co-host chair has seen a lot of changes, Paul Felder is doing great. I hope he stays around for a long time. The hosts and producers have very good chemistry. The interviews are solid and the stories are entertaining without becoming rants (Helwani). Keep up the great work guys!
