  16. JR

    [laughs]

  17. BM

    You know what? I gotta talk to him about stuff too, so.

  18. JR

    You guys are not doing it anymore?

  19. BM

    I, I stepped back away when I went, I started, uh, refereeing again, so.

  24. JR

    So what we did is we-

  25. JR

    You have to

  26. JR

    ... what we, what we did is we started doing, uh, McCarthy Mondays because when he went back to refereeing, he's not allowed to talk about promotions, not allowed to talk about fighters-

  27. JR

    Right

  28. JR

    ... and what's wrong and, and the things that possibly, you know, can make some changes. And so we just started McCarthy Monday, where we just talk about, like the Joe Schilling situation. That's something we could talk about, right?

  29. JR

    Right.

  30. JR

    Like it's, so I just, I created a show for him to just only do on Mondays.
