Introduction to the Fictional Fighting Podcast
00:00:07
Speaker
This is the fictional fighting championship podcast, the ultimate battleground where Hollywood's deadliest warriors collide. We're taking 48 of the most ruthless, skilled, and battle-hardened fighters from movies and TV and throwing them into a no-holds-barred tournament to see who survives.
00:00:26
Speaker
You've seen in the movies, you know the legends. Now, it's time to settle the score. I'm Christian Doffert.
00:00:38
Speaker
I'm Jordan Guerrero. And I'm Steve Sadler. And this is the greatest fictional tournament in the history of the universe. And that's not an exaggeration. It's a goddamn fact.
Special Episode Announcement and Host Reflection
00:00:50
Speaker
It's a goddamn fact, as they say. All right, guys, we have a special episode here today. This isn't a traditional one where we have a great matchup. We're taking a break.
00:01:01
Speaker
so that we can record this because of everything that we have, uh, done so far. We have a couple episodes live already. So we do have some feedback and believe it or not, in a lot of feedback from the fan, the one fan, the one fan is a big fan though.
Credibility and Martial Arts Backgrounds
00:01:19
Speaker
And in fact, we have, um, You know, we always get things about the rules. That's why we did a rules episode. But I'm also getting a lot of questions. And I know you guys are too. Who the heck are these guys?
00:01:31
Speaker
And that's funny. That means i think people are interested in what we have to say and things like that. So I think we should do a little episode and talk about who the heck we are and why we're even doing this.
00:01:41
Speaker
That's a positive way to say everyone is listening to us and instantly questioning our credibility. Yeah. I think, you do you think they're actually questioning like if we have degrees in like science or martial arts or different things that we're breaking down?
00:01:59
Speaker
I have degrees in both science and martial arts. Yeah. Chris chris has Chris has a degree in both. He has a first degree in karate. It's not karate, Steve. It's juujitsu okay itstrojitsu it's jujitsu. Okay.
00:02:16
Speaker
It's, it's hilarious how much we make fun of jujitsu, especially for the fact that I think jujitsu is awesome. And I'm a huge mixed martial arts fan.
00:02:26
Speaker
I love it. i love it. It's okay. I make fun of it myself. and It's self-deprecating humor. So I'm a five-stripe white belt. I like to describe myself as, which is a blue belt, but.
00:02:38
Speaker
I only just became a blue belt like maybe a year ago. So nice.
Humorous Character Additions to the Tournament
00:02:42
Speaker
Well, we're definitely leaning on you for some insight on different martial arts. Yeah. Most of my experience is in Rex Kwan Do. So I need you to help me out here.
00:02:53
Speaker
Hey, that's pretty good too. I've seen Napoleon dynamite. Well, wait you know what? One special feature of this episode is going to be that we were going to spoil a couple of entrants that we haven't let anybody know about before.
00:03:06
Speaker
And Jordan comes comes in hot by announcing Rex Kwon Do is in the tournament.
00:03:13
Speaker
I don't know. I guess these other guys that he would stand a chance. But, you know, that it would be funny to see him get beat up on. I was, um' we're getting off topic here, but I was wondering if there was a more comedic um character that we could put in here.
00:03:30
Speaker
And I don't know who it would be, but I did think of like, you know, what about Eddie Murphy's character, Axel Foley from Beverly Hills Cop or something like that. I don't know that he has a huge kill count or he specifically kills a lot of people, but somebody like that could be actually pretty funny.
00:03:43
Speaker
What about Jackie Chan, the Rush Hour character? Jackie Chan could i have a character. Jackie Chan from the animated series, Jackie Chan Adventures. Yeah. when we When we have our season on cartoon characters, we could have him
Chris's Personal Background and Film Influences
00:03:57
Speaker
maybe. No, I love the rush hour of movies. That was definitely a staple growing up for me.
00:04:02
Speaker
Definitely one, two, and three. And then I know that they came out with a fourth, I think maybe way later down the line. But Jackie Chan, Jackie Chan is great. It's just a little too corny or comedic. Yeah. little cartoonish. Yeah.
00:04:14
Speaker
Yes. Well, Chris, since you started off here talking about Jackie Chan, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself to our listeners, tell them who you are, why you're doing this and and what kinds of movies and characters interested you. And next thing you know, here you are. Yeah.
00:04:30
Speaker
So I'm Chris. grew up in the UK. i grew up in the u k but I have a lot of family here in the States.
00:04:43
Speaker
I live in Boston. Steve is my father-in-law, ah married to his daughter Kaylee, and we have a daughter. Steve came up with this idea and it really pulled me in. I'm a huge fan of movies and TV. ah You know, grew up watching so many know different types of films. Obviously a cornerstone of my my my love of film is certainly action and adventure.
00:05:08
Speaker
Growing up in the UK, was introduced to James Bond at a very early age. It would play on the BBC and my grandfather would record them on VHS and then give us the VHS tapes. So whenever he saw one of the films come on, you know he would record it, give it to us. And then we had, you know eventually over years and years, we had a collection of these ah homemade VHS tapes with James Bond on them, you know including the ad breaks. ah that that came up.
00:05:40
Speaker
So yeah, huge James Bond fan. Also, as I got older, became a huge Guy Ritchie fan. I love Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, ah Snatch, Rock and Roller.
00:05:52
Speaker
Guy Ritchie is the creator, and I think director of both The Gentleman, the film, as well as the TV series, which more recently came out.
00:06:03
Speaker
So yeah, overall, I'm a huge fan of his. And if you haven't seen Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels or Snatch, I highly recommend that you go see that you go watch those. so Unfortunately, no characters from those films in this tournament.
00:06:16
Speaker
So that's a, I guess, a little spoiler, but yeah, I'd say the last big part of my childhood when it came to films was a Quentin Tarantino movies.
Debate on the Best James Bond
00:06:25
Speaker
Huge fan of basically all of his films.
00:06:27
Speaker
And I think we'll, we'll get into that a little bit later. Nice. Two questions before we move on. One, I'll just ask them both right now. Who's the best James Bond?
00:06:39
Speaker
And two, should we have a ah Guy Ritchie character in here and who would that be? Second question first. I'll put it out to the listeners. I feel as if it's these these films are pretty niche whenever I'm asking about you know if anyone's seen them.
00:06:55
Speaker
People typically don't or haven't seen them. So anyone who has out there, please suggest in the comments who you think you know, out of out of Guy Ritchie, you know, cinematic universe, what character should be in the tournament if if we were to pick one.
00:07:11
Speaker
And then the first question was going be a hot take i was going to ah bring up. So I'm glad you asked. Hot take. Best ever, James Bond, no question, is P.S. Brosnan.
00:07:27
Speaker
Wow. Okay. So I know it's a hard take. I know. Yeah. Everyone's entitled to an opinion, I guess.
00:07:35
Speaker
It's a goddamn fact. He was James Bond throughout my childhood. Yeah. So it kind of sticks. Yeah. And any anyone who has an opinion on this would maybe say the same thing, you know, if they were growing up as a child watching James Bond and yeah.
00:07:50
Speaker
For sure. You know, it was Sean Connery, then it's probably Sean Connery for
Jordan's Introduction and Love for Action Movies
00:07:54
Speaker
them. But Daniel Craig is ah is a very close second. He is really good. Yeah.
00:08:06
Speaker
All right. Now we know Chris. Excellent. Jordan, you want to go? Sure. My name is Jordan Guerrero. I am Steve's nephew. He's my uncle, which makes Chris my cousin.
00:08:18
Speaker
ah me and Steve's relationship. It's kind of like if you ever listen to LMFAO, how they're kind of uncle and cousin like that. That's what this feels like now that he's got me wrapped into this podcast.
00:08:30
Speaker
I don't know how he got me to do this, and I'm still questioning why I'm here right now, but I'm having a good time. Just a dude who likes action movies. I feel like foundational movies, right? I'm growing up. I'm thinking watching Born Identity, Born Supremacy. All of those were super badass ones for me.
00:08:45
Speaker
Then I really love, not in our tournament right here, because he has too many powers, but Chronicles of Riddick. Those Vin Diesel movies from back in the day, those things whip. And then I feel like a lot of my foundational movies were like,
00:08:57
Speaker
Anything on Rotten Tomatoes with a 25% just absolutely loved that. like I was the 25% of people still giving that a thumbs up. Hobo with a shotgun, machete, all that kind of ridiculous stuff.
00:09:11
Speaker
I feel like Chronicles of Riddick probably has 25% as well. it It probably does. One of those guilty pleasures. Yeah, there's there's no guilt. There's no guilt there. I probably watched it 12 times.
00:09:24
Speaker
what What are my action movie credentials? Well, let's see. i think I got suckered into paying for five boxing lessons at a 24 hour fitness about 15 years ago.
00:09:35
Speaker
And oh, my God, I was dog shit. i was so bad. That's that's as far as my hand hand combat has gone. I do compete in pistol shooting, USPSA shooting production division, and also getting into a precision rifle as well, which is the the much nerdier discipline out there.
00:09:53
Speaker
But Chris is definitely going to take it for us on the hand hand stuff. Excellent. Yeah, Chris has the hand to hand stuff, but it's great to have Jordan kind of up with the firearms and weaponry. That that comes in pretty handy because I know very little about either of those two things.
00:10:09
Speaker
But you've got the Riz.
Steve's Background and Love for Action Films
00:10:11
Speaker
I do have the most Riz of all of us. You are bringing the Riz. but
00:10:22
Speaker
Yeah, so I'm Steve Sadler. I live in New York. You know, I've also, I think this is why we're on on this podcast, right? It's because we're all huge action stars and who are action star fans.
00:10:35
Speaker
And that's really what it's all about. I've been a fan for a long time and it kind of makes sense because I started watching this type of movie like in the 80s when these characters were larger than life. And I feel like that was kind of the golden era of these action hero type vigilantes and assassins and mercenaries and things like that. They were all larger than life.
00:10:57
Speaker
And the one thing that stuck with me way back when was that while we were watching these action movies, Every single time we would watch these things, it would start an argument.
00:11:08
Speaker
could Could this guy beat that guy? Could Rocky beat Rambo? Could Rambo beat the Commando? ah What about Terminator and things like that? So that's the one thing that has stuck with me for for decades is that whole argument.
00:11:22
Speaker
my My friend Brian, back in the day, like in high school, he had HBO and a basement, which meant that we could safely watch rated R movies whenever we wanted to down there. So was great.
00:11:36
Speaker
so it was great we we had that We had a little... An era of, you know, Porky's and movies like that, of course, like every everybody growing up. But then it kind of switched to like Children of the Corn type horror movies that scared the shit out of me. And then ah eventually we settled on on the action movies, especially about the time First Blood came out and introduced Rambo. So that's kind of how I started.
00:12:01
Speaker
My, i don't know, my credentials, I don't have many. i hung around the MMA crowd for a few years. So I might throw in some UFC references.
00:12:12
Speaker
And ah in case you guys didn't know, i also have been a major star in a couple of excellent Emmy-winning TV shows. I feel like you're the only one here with actual credentials when it comes to talking about these people as the ultimate fighters, the only person who has professionally run some kind of a business that reviews and talks about them.
00:12:34
Speaker
Oh, it like vigilante m MMA back in the day. That's right. Your dig vigilante MMA still alive and kicking in my memory. I think this is just the revamp of it. ah Yeah, this is the new vigilante. Yes.
00:12:47
Speaker
Fictional vigilante. Well, it's funny because vigilante came out in
Fun Facts and Trivia about Actors
00:12:52
Speaker
2010. So 15 years ago, believe it or not. And I named it vigilante MMA because me and my partner both love vigilante movies. So some things never change.
00:13:12
Speaker
All right. Now I asked you guys to do a little bit of homework here, just something fun for the, for the listeners. This is going to be a shorter episode, but I want to get something fun out there. Did you guys bring a hot take or a fun fact about, you know, anybody in the tournament or even tournament adjacent, even anything from action movies that, that you guys brought in?
00:13:31
Speaker
So I already mentioned that, ah you know, my hot take is that P.S. Brosnan is the best James Bond, you know, let me know in the comments, if you agree. if you disagree, whatever, it's a goddamn fact. So it's fine.
00:13:44
Speaker
It's pretty good one.
00:13:47
Speaker
I think he's just the perfect like balance of Riz. He's just like suave, but he's also pretty badass at the same time. yeah So, you know, I think he's a very well-rounded ah character.
00:14:00
Speaker
Yeah. I don't have an argument with that. Nice. Jordan, who's your favorite? dude Do you have one? Do you like James Bond at all? I mean, ah yeah, there's definitely a best James Bond. i don't all I'll save my heartfelt argument for the James Bond episode.
00:14:13
Speaker
But it is definitely Daniel Craig. Yeah, nice. Nice. Yeah. Like I said, he's a close second. And there's a little spoiler for you. Yeah, he's awesome. Yeah. My fun fact though, for James Bond is a pretty simple one. I'll ask you guys first, how many actors over the span of, uh, you know, the cinema cinematic universe of James Bond, how many actors have played James Bond?
00:14:36
Speaker
It's a good one. Seven. That's what i was going to do. Seven. You know what? No. Uh, let, let, let, let me go. Six.
00:14:50
Speaker
Six you go prices right. It's seven. Yep. It's seven. Oh, great. Great. Yes. Great guess. I would have guessed more for some reason, I think. Oh, man. don't know. Uh, yeah. Over 60 years and 25 movies, seven actors have played the legendary spy, James Bond on screen.
00:15:07
Speaker
When did he debut? Great question. Barry Nelson, 1954. nineteen fiftyf four what Yeah. Who? Yeah. Seriously.
00:15:19
Speaker
He had some good hair. I'll give him that. Yeah. Yeah. If I'm looking at the right guy he has a chin and a half on him. Yeah. Seriously. He looks like ah American dad. Oh my God. All right. That's a good one.
00:15:38
Speaker
All right, Jordan. Did you bring anything to the table on this? I've got a fun fact, but my fun fact kind of jumps the gun. i first have to share who I am announcing.
00:15:49
Speaker
oh okay. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. We're, we were all going to spoil one participant in the tournament that we haven't mentioned yet. So we were going to do that last, but yeah, go for it. If this is a part of your fun fact.
00:16:00
Speaker
So I am announcing Walter White from bay Breaking Bad. Super excited for Walter White. That was definitely my favorite TV show at the time when it was coming out and i was watching it. I feel like it was pretty groundbreaking for a lot of reasons.
00:16:14
Speaker
And even though Walter White is clearly at a different level with... hand to hand combat fire, you you name it. I still think that he deserves a spot in the tournament and I can't wait to see where he goes with all of his ingenuity, how ruthless he is, all of his chemistry, all that bad ass stuff.
00:16:31
Speaker
yeah So i'm I'm rooting for Walter White here. So this is almost like a degrees of Steve, but a degrees of Jordan. Jordan Guerrero, UC Davis, Ta Kappa Epsilon fraternity.
00:16:42
Speaker
Just after I graduated, DEA agent Hank Schrader from Breaking Bad. One of his sons joined my chapter of the fraternity there. Ridiculously interesting and unexpected connection to Breaking Bad.
00:16:57
Speaker
So i' I'm doubling down on Walter White's going to be my guy here. That's pretty cool. That's an awesome one. He's a great character and I still contend Breaking Bad is the greatest TV series ever.
00:17:09
Speaker
Was that, that was Vince Gilligan, right? Yes. That show. Okay. One more fun fact about it. So I was watching the X-Files in college. I started watching the X-Files from season one, episode one.
00:17:22
Speaker
And I remember this one episode I'm watching. I'm like, holy shit, this episode of rocks. It is so much better than all the other ones in this season. And I looked it up and sometimes they have like guest directors on it.
00:17:33
Speaker
It was Vince Gilligan. Like you could see his style in there. So he he did at least one episode of the X-Files in like season three or something. It was pretty
Actor Tate Fletcher's Unique Film Deaths
00:17:41
Speaker
cool. That is pretty cool. There are a couple of ah cameos of people and maybe not even necessarily cameos back then. They were, I think they were just getting their start.
00:17:51
Speaker
But i remember Seth Green was in like one of the very first episodes in this in season one. So it was funny seeing him on screen. And I think there's but probably a few others scattered around.
00:18:01
Speaker
ah Seth Green reminded me of Scott Evil, which reminded me of Austin Powers. Maybe that is our character, our her comedic character. His plot armor is through the roof, even yeah better than machetes. Yeah.
00:18:17
Speaker
i'd love to see yeah I'd love to see him face Mache. They'd just be like dodging bullets and Austin Powers would be doing it in the most comedic way.
00:18:32
Speaker
I brought a couple of fun facts in case, you know, you guys don't know. I'm kind of a trivia fan. So sometimes I'll go do these deep dives and I'll just go on this wild goose chase and and do some research and stuff. So I have two fun facts here that I think you guys are going to like.
00:18:49
Speaker
What if I told you. that there is an actor who has played roles and has been killed by two different contestants in our tournament.
00:19:01
Speaker
Would that be interesting to you? Okay. Yeah, I think I know who is. You do? I think maybe. Say that again. like An actor yeah has been killed by multiple contenders in our tournament.
00:19:18
Speaker
Jordan, would you take a guess too? ah Can I throw this out there? I've got one. Here, let's go on three. Okay. One, two, three. Steven Seagal.
00:19:28
Speaker
Sean Bean.
00:19:32
Speaker
Sean Bean could be a good one. I think he gets killed in everything he's in, right?
Tommy Flanagan's Filmography and Tournament Links
00:19:35
Speaker
Yeah, yeah. That's the joke. yeah And he was in James Bond, killed Pierce Brosnan. Oh, nice. Okay.
00:19:43
Speaker
Well, no, that's not who I had in mind. And I was sandbagging. i just wanted to see what your reaction was. I actually found an actor who was killed by four different characters that are in our tournament, which I think is pretty crazy. yeah His name is Tate Fletcher.
00:20:00
Speaker
If you don't recognize the name, Google him because you'll definitely recognize his face and his bald head and mustache. Yeah. Oh, yeah. I recognize that guy. He looks like generic henchman number two. And that's right. Recognize it was from the equalizer.
00:20:15
Speaker
That's right. He was killed by Robert McCall in the equalizer. He was killed by Christian Wolf in the accountant. He was, he was killed by John wick and he was killed by Walter white in breaking bad in the last scene with that, with the revolving machine gun.
00:20:34
Speaker
No way. That's so cool. We got to get this guy on the show. Totally. Totally. Now that's only one of my fun facts, my fun trivia facts. Here's another one. What if I told you that there was another guy who had actually been linked to six different franchises that are represented in our tournament?
00:20:56
Speaker
That'd be pretty impressive, right? For sure. Is it Alan Rickman? It's not Alan Rickman. But, I mean, it could be. I don't know. I didn't, like, check everybody ever, but I kind of dug this guy up and thought nobody could possibly get more than six.
00:21:08
Speaker
so it's it's got to be a It's got to be a guy that is cast as the same role in every movie. Yeah. Yeah, he's got he's definitely got a ah good look for this type character.
00:21:20
Speaker
Yeah, the guy that's always the president or the guy that's always the the head of the department of the CIA, whoever the guy is working for. Yeah. yeah yeah he definitely looks like a warrior himself in most cases. But this is an actor named Tommy Flanagan.
00:21:35
Speaker
Oh, yes. And again, if you don't know who that is, look him up. You'll recognize his face. He is a favorite character in least two from our series that I can think of.
00:21:46
Speaker
Yep. yeah he He's been in, he's Chibs in Sons of Anarchy. Favorite. Cicero in Gladiator. He's Morrison in Braveheart. He's some guy named Gabriel in 24, the series, which is incredible.
00:22:02
Speaker
And then here's where it gets nuts. He was also in the movie Alien vs. Predator, which ties with two of them the franchises. So that's a total of six.
00:22:14
Speaker
And to make this even crazier, at one point we had someone from Peaky Blinders in the tournament. He's also in Peaky Blinders. And we could very easily have a character from Face Off, and he was in that. That would be eight wow franchises in our tournament. That's pretty sweet.
00:22:32
Speaker
That is quite the filmography. Yeah. Yeah. Does that make him the most prolific actor in our series? Yes. Yes. Yes, absolutely. Move over Schwarzenegger. We got Tommy Flanagan here. That's exactly what that means.
00:22:46
Speaker
You know, his ah pretty easily identifiable facial features. Yep. The facial scars, yeah which you could argue, you know, won him and few quite a few of these roles.
Revealing Tournament Characters
00:22:59
Speaker
Those scars are a result of a knife attack outside of a nightclub where he had been working as a DJ in Glasgow. Pretty traumatic experience, but maybe the silver lining. he Now he has a cool look.
00:23:11
Speaker
Now he has a cool look and was cast, you know doesn't need makeup. Yeah, that's pretty sweet. Yeah, dude looks the real deal. He is.
00:23:26
Speaker
All right. I thought those were fun. um Should we spoil some characters? Jordan, you already spoiled your guy, right? Yep. Okay. Chris, you want to spoil yours? Sure.
00:23:37
Speaker
I alluded to one of my favorite all-time, if not my favorite all-time director and writer, Quentin Tarantino. And the character that will be appearing in the tournament from one of his films is Beatrix Kiddo, aka The Bride, aka Black Mamba.
00:24:02
Speaker
Awesome. Yes, super excited to have her in this tournament. it's probably but It's very difficult to pick a favorite of Quentin Tarantino's films, but ah that's it's probably that one for me.
00:24:16
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, that's going to be awesome. And we haven't had any females in in any battles yet. So we know we have at least Beatrix in this thing.
00:24:27
Speaker
For sure. So that's a good one. I have a fun fact real quick okay for it as well. The soundtrack was produced by I don't know if there are any ah music fans listening out there, but RZA is the mastermind behind Wu Tang clan, a very famous rap group from New York from the late 80s, early 90s.
00:24:55
Speaker
RZA formed the group and brought a bunch of guys together and they went mainstream very quickly and brought out a lot of great, great music that today has a cult following.
00:25:08
Speaker
But in their songs, they allude to a lot of, ah but they they have a lot of samples from Kung Fu films. They, you know, and they also, you know, their lyrics contain a lot of ah references to Kung Fu and fighting.
00:25:24
Speaker
I mean, Wu Tang is in their name, you know, that's a fighting style, but I guess Quentin Tarantino pegged him as the person to, you know write the soundtrack and, or produce the soundtrack. So, and obviously lot of Kung Fu and Kill Bill. So he was a perfect choice for that.
Discussion on Jack Reacher Casting Controversy
00:25:41
Speaker
That's pretty cool. I didn't know that.
00:25:50
Speaker
Okay, I'll spoil one real quick. ah Kind of ah a personal favorite of mine because I read a lot of the books and then he turned into an action star on the big screen and even more relevant on the small screen. And I'm talking about Jack Reacher.
00:26:04
Speaker
And he's been played by a couple of different actors. And I think you know the one that we're going to be talking about the most. And that's going to be the current one in the TV series and not the old one by a huge, huge, huge movie star.
00:26:18
Speaker
Nice. ah So there ah there were two... Two actors? Yeah, I didn't know that either. Oh, you didn't? Yeah. So tom cruch's twenty two Tom Cruise played him in the movie. Oh, that's right. And it was very, very controversial because there's about 20 books, a whole series out, and it had a huge following. They finally turned it into movie, which was great, except Tom Cruise was the star of it.
00:26:40
Speaker
And it was it was very controversial because the thing about Jack Reacher, the most predominant thing about him is he's absolutely massive. The dude is gigantic. He's like Dave Bautista or The Rock or something like that is how he's described in the books. And then we find out Tom Cruise is playing him. So all the the book fans were just terribly disappointed until the TV series came out.
00:27:03
Speaker
And then they had a legitimate giant doing that. Damn. I'm looking up right now. We're going to have to have a competition. Like who has the most superhero physique of our folks?

Speaker
We have literal Mr. Olympia. Yeah. Probably right behind him is going to be Sylvester Stallone, but Alan Richson. He's massive. Dude's humongo.
00:27:24
Speaker
He might be the tallest guy in the tournament because that character is about six, five. Damn. I was going to say that for Tom Cruise's ego, probably took a hit with all that pushback.
00:27:35
Speaker
Yeah, I know. And we already know that he's a little cuckoo. ah Did you know that Alan Richston played Aquaman? No. He played Aquaman in the horrific TV series Smallville.
00:27:50
Speaker
Oh, no, I didn't know that. Interesting. I think he was also in Friday Night Lights or one of those football TV shows or something. We'll have to bring him back for our superheroes tournament. Yeah.
00:28:01
Speaker
Do it. Yeah.

Speaker
All right. So why don't we wrap this up? We just wanted to do this little thing. We call it it's like a little bio, talk a little bit about ourselves. So you know who you're listening to every week. us We have probably by the time you hear this, we'll have thousands of listeners and you know, we appreciate every single one of them.
00:28:37
Speaker
If you have any questions about the rules, I'll remind you that we do have a rules episode. You should check that one out and go back and listen to all of the ones that have aired so far. We had some great matchups already and we're getting some really good feedback and reviews.
00:28:49
Speaker
So the Only other thing that I would say is subscribe to the podcast, vote in all the matchups, leave ridiculous comments wherever you can, and maybe we'll read them on the air. But those are always great engagements, and we like to hear those.
00:29:04
Speaker
And I'll also tell you to follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and of course, Spotify and Apple. And we are begging you to tell your friends and to leave a five-star review.
