On this episode of the sit down with Malik Wright I sit down with the voice of the UFC John anic we discuss everything from UFC Super Bowl predictions and our Bost Celtics make sure you guys give this video a like subscribe to the YouTube channel turn on post notifications so you guys don’t
Miss when we go live from the first star Logistics Studio we’re joined here by who I consider the voice of the UFC Mr John and John I appreciate you for taking the time to sit and discuss you know life as a UFC on air commentator as
Well as looking forward to some of the fights my man Malik it’s great to be with you you got a big following out there and uh one of your listeners said to me online you got to go on with Malik he’s doing big things he’s doing new
Things and uh I’m looking forward to chopping it up with you and hope hoping to see you at a future UFC live event in the not too distant future as well yes sir brother I appreciate that so I first and foremost want to ask you how surreal
The journey has been for you you right you started essentially as an anchor for on on UFC 100 a couple of months from now what going to be UFC 300 how Wild has the ride been my man it’s crazy right oftentimes I find myself being the
Oldest guy in the room and once again here today I’m the goddamn oldest guy in the room but that means when you’re asked about your career it sort of ends up being 20 25 years and you look back and it’s certainly a whirlwind and certainly I think at times I had to be
More lucky than I was good but boxing was the conduit to get me into mixed martial arts and when ESPN was launching an MMA News and information show MMA live in 2008 I was one of the few guys in that building that had anything resembling a Combat Sports background it
Was me it was Brian Kenny it was a late great Stewart Scott and those guys were too high-profile I think to host an online mixed martial arts show so that was sort of the jumping off point for me couple years later I was calling the first season of Bellator in 2009 and
That that’s when I think it really clicked for me that I felt as though maybe my skill set was better served for play byplay than being on a desk or anything else but I think you learn a lot about yourself uh when you sit here
45 years of age and thankfully I I made a few good decisions along the way and and gotten a whole lot of breaks as well my man you said something that kind of resonated with me you said you were in a room with guys like steuart Scott um we
Haven’t talked about this off air but steuart Scott is a big reason why I decided to pursue this career in media uh I consider myself sort of like a Swiss army knife where I cover everything from the UFC to the NBA to the NFL but what was it like right
Because I consider steuart Scott a giant in our world in our space what was it like sharing um spaces with Stuart Scott whether it be for a long period of time or a limited period of time so I didn’t have that many conversations with him but I’ll never forget a conversation I
Had with him at a UFC live event and he was there as a fan and I had left ESPN at that point in time and he had suggested how happy he was for me but he was training in mixed martial arts when MMA live launched in 2008 and I don’t
Think it was a lack of self-belief or confidence on my part but my inner monologue was like why is Stuart Scott not hosting this show like not only does he know MMA better than I do he trains in mixed martial arts he has a massive following he’s the guy he could bring
All this attention to our show but I don’t know if his contract was prohibitive or if he just couldn’t fit it into his schedule or what but I remember thinking he should be doing MMA live so you can imagine what it was like for me to get to meet him and get to
Know him a little bit and then have that conversation with him at a UFC live event probably a year or two before he passed away you know I’ll take that to my cremation chamber man you know just an absolute giant of my industry an absolute Legend and he was an impetus I
Think for a lot of us getting into it I never thought I could be as good a sports center anchor as he was right but but I certainly loved his style and I loved the Liberties that he would take to sort of be an original in a space
Where a lot of people were pretty cookie cutters so an absolute Legend certainly is on my Mount Rushmore of mentors and guys that I looked up to in this business Shan MCD gets a seat as well uh but I love steuart Scott and uh you know
I guess the only thing I would say is that in 2019 when we launched our deal with the ESPN it was a little bit Bittersweet for me because I thought at the time can you imagine what steuart Scott would have meant to our UFC coverage if he was still here
And still an active member at ESPN so uh man I wish he was still around because I don’t know if he would be calling fights with me or what he’d be doing but he would be he would be factoring prominently into this UFC ESPN equation
To be sure I agree with you my man he definitely was as cool as the other side is of the P he would say um but yeah man um I guess the next portion I wanted to ask you was what when did you know you wanted to get into Combat Sports a
Career as as as far as probably 2007 in tuna Mississippi when I covered my first live MMA event henzo Gracie fought Frank Shamrock in the main event but I went there as sort of a kinly disrespecting boxing journalist right Gary Shaw launched elad XC and that was the first
Show they did and Gary Shaw to try to drum up interest invited a lot of the boxing media to come cover the show and so I covered that show maybe somewhat reluctantly and as a boxing radio journalist there was this MMA Avalanche that was coming and I didn’t
Know whether to embrace it or to give it the Heisman and I remember doing a bunch of radio coverage leading up to the MMA event and really getting to know the personalities I remember doing interviews with like Gina corano and Julie Ki and thinking how cool is this
And then the live event happened and again I went in there as maybe a reluctant boxing fan and journalist and I just felt like with respect it was so much more exciting than boxing it had so much more to offer even if I didn’t love maybe the dragons breathing fire as the
Fighters made their way to the ring or I guess the cage at that time uh I loved covering mixed martial arts live and it sort of opened up my mind and uh a few months later we were doing MMA live and then a year after that I was actually
Calling fights but I walked out of that arena in Tunica Mississippi in 2007 thinking man I kind of want to I want to be an MMA journalist I thought I would be on the radio covering it I didn’t necessarily think I’d be calling fights but uh it’s all worked out I guess here
You are um and I guess before we jump into you know some of the upcoming fights and and um and I pick your brain on some of these things my question to you is what advice would you give to young people you know I come across so
Many different young people who want to break into this industry break into this Sport and you give so many doubters and people say oh that’s not sustainable that’s not possible from so someone who I admire and I have tremendous amount of respect for what would be advice that
You would give to some young people who are trying to make it in this field well self-belief is a powerful thing and even my identical twin brother at 45 years old trying to sort of break into this MMA space one of the things that I constantly preach to him is just
Self-belief people are responsive and resonating around your content you just got to believe in yourself but when I taught at the Connecticut school of broadcasting the one thing that I said to those people even though I was for younger then than I am now is you never
Know when an opportunity is going to present itself so you better [ __ ] be ready and excuse my language but you’re sitting here getting repetitions putting yourself in a position that if some major opportunity and you got your own show with your own name out it all these fancy Graphics Studios so you’re good
But you never know when that BigTime opportunity is going to come so for those out there who are launching podcasts and getting out of the content space because their mom is the only one listening do 50 shows a year do 48 shows a year you do that for a couple years
All of a sudden you’ve done a 100 shows and a company ask you for your real and you better be ready like for me I was working at a small stick in Boston Massachusetts and I got an audition at ESPN Radio in Bristol Connecticut to be
A sports center anchor on the air and dude I thought I was going for an interview and they put me in there to do the 4:20 p.m. Eastern national sports radio update and at that point you just say to yourself I can th hang or I can’t
I know I can write I know I can write a sports update I’ve done a million of them locally in Boston I just didn’t expect to be thrust in there at ESPN Radio when I was going for a job interview so I did the 420 update uh
Didn’t flub I passed it was absolutely exhilarating as an exercise to be on National radio at that stage of my career and uh that was sort of the jumping off point for me getting more opportunities in television to ESPN and eventually getting to the UFC so you got
To be ready for those opportunities because truly you could be showing up for an interview and they could put you on the air absolutely and you know again when the opportunity knocks it’s important to be ready to take advantage of it because you know I think the one
Thing you hear from so many people is waiting for the perfect opportunity the perfect opportunity will never come so you have to make sure you’re always ready because if you stay ready you never have to get ready but let’s transition over to some of the fights so
John I’ll start by saying this one fight that I am looking forward to this year is Ilia Toria taking on Alexander volkanovski now the the Twitter experts they’ll tell you oh vogs got this in the bag 100% vogs got this in but you see
For me I think it’s a little bit more um it’s a little bit more complicated than that yeah I think that Elia Toria is the tough opponent with all due respect right one of the featherweight goats I think ilot toore is the toughest opponent volkanovski has
Probably faced not named Islam mahv um I want to know what your thoughts are on that fight and maybe you can kind of give me your opinion on what makes Elia special and what makes volkanovski special and what makes this fight special you set it up beautifully it
Really is a special fight and with respect to Max Holloway and Jose Aldo and all the men that Alexander volkanovski has left in his wake largely I would agree with you when you combine all of the circumstances surrounding this fight it stands to reason that this could be his toughest title defense and
Even before the fight on paper a lot of people would agree with you Malik and suggest as much ilot toodia is undefeated and he has been working even though he has this massive following well over I think two million followers on Instagram but largely he’s been
Working in silence and when I sat down with him at our seasonal press conference last December I talked to him about his unheralded Co coaches and he sort of smirked and he said eventually I become world champion everybody’s going to get their shine but this man has
Every skill befitting a UFC champion and I think he likes the fact that people don’t necessarily know a ton about him certainly there’s some UFC footage on paper right I think he’s six and0 in the UFC but I think he likes the fact that he has been working in silence on the
Other side of course you have the decorated UFC featherweight Champion a lot of people believe Alexander volkanovski is number one or number two as far as pound-for-pound status in the sport right now but he’s just a worker man you know and hard work leads the dance for basically every parenting
Conversation I have and certainly there’s a lot of athleticism but I think for vul it really begins with the discipline and the work ethic and the willingness to go to Dark Places constantly in training that maybe a lot of other athletes aren’t willing to go to but now as you fast forward several
Title defenses in as he continues to chase records he’s far more layered and new nuanced as a striker I mean there’s so many different faints and stance switches all the time I would think he’d be a real headache to prepare for despite the fact that there’s a lot of
Film and a lot of 25 minute fights on the guy but it’s a great fight man and it’s happening a few days after the Super Bowl and I’m fond of saying like there’s 15 Super Bowls a year there’s the one that the NFL does and then
There’s the 14 that we do it’s hard to make sort of an NBA comparison because the finals are a best four out of seven right right but Alexander volkanovski in defense against Ilia Topia at UFC 298 maybe it sounds hypo hyperbolic because the promotion cuts my paycheck but bro
Mixed martial arts fans to a man to a woman are getting a Super Bowl like a few days after the NFL does there like it’s one of the best fights of the year and uh I appreciate that you led with that one buddy oh man I’m I’m looking
Forward to the fight literally as a fight and fan Enthusiast I I I I literally get Jitters thinking about these two squaring off so I’ve been following Elia for for quite some time and you know I think a big test for him was when he took on Bryce Mitchell and I
Remember everyone saying oh Bryce Mitchell up and coming Thug nasty’s a problem he’s gonna do and just to see the you know obviously Bryce was dealing with some stuff going into that fight but seeing the way the way in which he dismantled him and won that fight I said
Wow I think we have a real player and then you you look at what uh he was able to do against Josh EMT a guy that is an absolute dog at in the featherweight Division and we saw what he just did he left Bryce Mitchell in his awake in a in
A fight that I think a lot of people were writing him off and re and writing his obituary and he went out there and he shut the lights off and he did in such dramatic fashion so I think that when you look at it elot Toria versus Alexander volkanovski does not get much
Better than that I I do say though John I am I’m a little bit concerned and what I’m concerned with is did Vault come is Vault coming back too soon that’s the one question that I am asking myself a bit like that because you want to make
Sure that he you’re getting the best Alexander volkanovski and of course these guys are Apex athletes A+ athletes so only they know themselves quite like themselves so I’m I’m sure banovski wouldn’t be stepping into this fight with Toria if he wasn’t ready but I guess the the other flip the you know
The flip side of the coin for me I’m like oh is this going to be too much too soon fair question right initially these guys were going to fight in Toronto before volkanovski had to sort of Step Up For the promotion there against Islam makash but I think part of the reason
Why people believe on paper this is his toughest title defense is because of that very circumstance coming off a headkick knockout loss I don’t really worry too much about it I will suggest to you one thing I love about Ilia topura is that he’s not afraid to sit
Down with me as he did in December and suggest what you’re actually suggesting most fighters from a competition competitive standpoint would not let that into the Stratosphere and say I don’t like the fact that or say I like fighting him now right because he’s coming off of that knockout loss against
Islam mhv like even if ilot toodia and his team thought it was a good time to be fighting volkanovski because of that very Factor right they wouldn’t sort of send that message out there to the masses right ilot toot and his team are so confident that they’re not afraid to
Say that they feel like on any given Saturday night they are the better man they are the better athlete but you’re not wrong to suggest that uh that maybe some people maybe even his strength and conditioning nutritionist body guys would have liked him to wait till March
Or April but man far be it from me to doubt anything when it comes to the the mental physical emotional athlete that is Alexander volkanovski I I expect an absolute war and I don’t think his chin having not recovered is going to be any sort of X Factor in the fight absolutely
So I’m gonna go I’m gonna pivot here a little bit you know I’m talking about a championship fight but here’s a fight that’s going under the radar it’s not the BMF championship fight it’s Ben was St Denise taking on Dustin porier when I say tune into this fight this is going
To be a fight for the ages I genuinely believe these two match up so well with one another I think Ben was St Denise is an absolute Powerhouse making his way through the lightweight Division and this a big step up in competition Dustin porier has always been able to turn back
These upand comers or these guys that are ready to sort of break through John talk a little bit about that fight what are you looking for when it comes to Dustin porier making his return to the Octagon against a guy like benois St Denise so there are a lot of
Lightweights who maybe are avoided excuse me like Arman Saran is a guy that not a lot of people maybe want to fight or Rafael FIV is a really tough matchup and Justin gatei sucked it up and fought him and beat him right if I were a
Lightweight in the top 15 Ben wais Seek and Destroy santon would probably be a guy that I am avoiding Dustin porier is a man of his his word right when he has expressed a lukewarmness to matchups like benil darush right benil darush ranked way ahead of benois santon at the
Time that maybe porier and darush might have shown up in each other’s bracket Dustin just saying the fight doesn’t excite him here he’s fighting a guy that he certainly doesn’t have to and he’s the betting Underdog by the way because the fight excites him because Ben was
Santon is one of these guys that looks really hard to beat you know he’s a French Navy SEAL or the equivalent in France French Special Forces he is a tremendous athlete and even though he’s still a developing mixed martial arts athlete who is not yet in his fighting
Prime like somebody like Dustin porier right he’s an elite lightweight already you know and he didn’t even want to turn around as quickly as he did after fighting in Paris in September to fight Matt fola Madison Square Garden in November like his manager maybe thought
It was too soon and he wanted to recover took one for the team knocks out Matt fola gets his rank and now he’s on top of the world you know borderline star status already despite not even getting to the top five so I love that Dustin takes the fight you’re right to point
Out just the the stylistic Masterpiece that these two could put together just in terms of their overall toughness and skills I’m so excited for that fight and I love that it’s happening obviously with a with a Miami Florida backdrop but it takes two to tango and I love the
Fact that Dustin poier accepted this fight it really proves nothing that we didn’t know it confirmed that he’s a man of his work absolutely I couldn’t agree more so I guess the the question I want to ask you next let’s talk about the heavyweight division Tom Aspen UFC
Interim Champion he’s calling he or he’s been calling for a fight with Jon Jones and I think most of the MMA masses are trying to make sense of Jon Jones’s logic behind stie miic nothing else do you think we are do you think that I guess UFC fans
MMA fans are are uh sort of being let down by Jon Jones not taking on or Notting to take on the challenge that is Tom certainly don’t think Jon Jones is scared of Tom Aspen like some have suggested but I do Wonder um are we are we are we getting left shorthanded a
Little bit because that fight Tom Aspen Man versus Jon Jones is the fight that I think can not only do well sales I’m talking about um just improving the sport overall you’re you’re truly getting two of the best clear-cut uh athletes in the heavyweight division going head to head
But it seems like more MMA fans want to see Tom Aspen versus Jon Jones than Jon Jones versus Steve Ames I’m I’m just really curious to hear your thoughts on that well the lead play-by-play voice of the UFC sees all of that upside to Jon Jones versus Tom Aspen it’s an AB
Absolute dream fight and we knew we were going to get these Red Man Muddy Waters right when they made that interim championship fight between Sergey pavlovich and Tom Aspen all and I don’t know that it could have been prevented I could answer this question from everyone’s perspective and I’ll try to
Do so efficiently so for Jon Jones right history is not going to care that he beats a 42y old Stipe miic who hasn’t fought in four years right even if the Avid mixed martial arts fan will suggest that Daniel cormier’s win over Stipe miic was far more a big deal than maybe
Jon Jones beating Stipe right so if you’re Jon Jones and you have one or two fights left I can understand why Jon Jones is prioritizing the Stipe fight and strategically wanting to fight a guy in Stipe who he’ll be a far bigger betting betting favorite against than he
Would be against Tom Aspen as far as Stipe is concerned I wish he had maybe more of an appetite for the Tom Aspen fight but I understand his perspective as well he’s the consensus greatest UFC heavyweight of all time and the Jones win for his legacy would be absolutely
Enormous as a punctuation and for Stipe there’s far more upside to take on Jon Jones than there is Tom Aspen but if I’m Tom aspal what am I supposed to do Malik right like what is this dude supposed to do he’s supposed to call for the Jon Jones fight because after winning the
Interim Heavyweight Championship that’s the next fight for him yes we’ve had I think maybe one instance in UFC history I’m not some great historian but I think hon brow maybe defended his interim title I think that is what Tom Aspen after exhaustedly trying to get the Jon Jones or steepe fight is going
To have to do he’s going to have to defend the interim Championship but uh it’s it’s An Inconvenient Truth of the way things are right now but I don’t know bro that it could have been prevented at least as far as the UFC is concern because I’ll close with saying
This you’re not going to strip the greatest mixed martial arts athlete of all time and I don’t think you’re GNA Force the greatest MMA athlete of all time to vacate the heavyweight title even if he’s not going to be able to defend within a year but once the UF
Made the decision to not vacate the heavyweight title and not force Jon Jones to do so they knew they were going to get these murky Waters and I don’t think it’s anything that uh that they can’t get out of with an interim heavyweight title defense but uh you
Know hopefully they take care of Tommy because I do feel for him I agree with you man and even if we’re not getting Jon Jones versus Tom Aspen could you imagine Tom Aspen rematching Curtis blades or Tom aspal taking on a jailon Almeida or Tom aspal taking on C I mean
Gone like these are fights that make sense and I honestly believe I hope I’m not overstepping when I but I genuinely believe the UFC heavyweight division is in the best shape that it’s been in ever right the talent pool coming from the heavyweight Division I is is absolutely
Great to see and I guess this is the last UFC question that I’ll ask you before I I got to ask you about the Boston Celtics um Conor McGregor okay Conor McGregor is a guy that has certainly helped take the sport the organization to another level
And you know he’s talked about the idea of coming back and we know he’s straining right now for the idea to come back to I believe fight Michael Chandler I guess maybe it’s me but I certainly I I never doubt Conor McGregor and what in his ability and what he’s
Able to do I still think there are a lot of big fights out there I guess the question is do you think Conor McGregor can truly dedicated himself make another championship run well it depends what his appetite is for cutting back down to 155 pounds yeah
And if I have any sort of negative thing to say about Conor McGregor’s career it’s only that he only has one win at 155 pounds in the UFC when he beat beat Eddie Alvarez for the Undisputed UFC lightweight Championship so I have always said that Conor McGregor’s
Appetite for more MMA scalps more MMA greatness more MMA Legacy is such that he will come back and get in a regular competition cycle I think we have to give him the benefit of the doubt because of the leg break and I truly believe had his leg not broken he would
Have stayed in that active competition cycle that saw him fight Dustin porier for the second and third time in a relatively small window so I do believe he has an appetite for getting back into a regular Competition schedule and once he gets to that first fight I don’t think it’s out of the
Realm of possibility that he would turn around in three or four months but I just don’t know at this point in time if you’ll ever get like the annual Dedication that it would take to you know have two title fights in a year and everything that comes with all
Of that right and you just can’t control the snowball that made him the biggest mixed martial arts Superstar and made it so that unlike Michael Jordan another LeBron James isn’t going to walk through that door like I feel pretty convicted in saying there will never be another
Conor McGregor even if you want to trot out the biggest superstars in the UFC right now like Tom Aspen to your previous point right as a heavyweight belt owning champion in a nation that is rabid about its mixed martial arts right Tom Aspen has got a great chance to be
An absolute Mega star not unlike Michael Bisping was you know but nobody is on the level of a Conor McGregor and I think For Better or For Worse I guess for me as an MMA fan for worse uh that has made it so he hasn’t made as many
Walks he wanted to fight at the UFC Apex bro you’re G to pay him 10 15 million dollars to trot out at the UFC Apex right like it isn’t all on him but I do believe that after he gets through that next fight and idealistically it happen sooner rather than later against Michael
Chandler uh we’re looking at more Super fights at 170 pounds and not some sort of path to the championship and uh there has been some discourse recently Malik about maybe Leon edwards’s next title defense happening at 175 PBS and the UFC opening up a 165 PB Division I haven’t
Heard that internally I think that’s just rumor mill stuff but if ever there were a time to do that and try to create a championship for Conor McGregor granted he hasn’t won a fight in four years uh maybe this would be the time to strike on that initiative but uh if
You’re asking me the question as you did about the championship I think it’s more likely that we see him in mega fights and super fights than it is that we see him in a championship setting but if he beats Chandler maybe he fights Leon or
The champ at 170 pounds you never know I agree my man all right so you’re from Boston okay you’re a Boston Celtics fan I’m from New Jersey I’m a Boston Celtics fan the producer my guy my best friend Daniel he’s from California he’s a Boston Celtics
Fan is this the year the Boston Celtics break through I mean certainly you look at the talent that we have Jason Tatum Jaylen Brown kristos porzingis Drew holl Derek white the list goes on and on and on they look like true juggernauts in the East but is this the year that the
Celtics finally break through because genuinely John obviously with respect to teams like the Milwaukee Bucks respect with te to teams like the Miami Heat the New York Knicks I don’t know if those teams can offer up enough of a threat to the Boston Celtics to threat a champion
A potential Championship run here I think that this could be the Celtics year I I really do but I think um I think defense is going to be an area that we definitely need to impr improve upon certainly when we’re on we’re on but I guess I want to just ask
You being a a big boss and Celtics fan as a former season ticket holder yes is this the most hopeful you’ve been in quite some time for the Boston Celtics absolutely and there are a lot of layers to it Marcus Smart was my favorite Boston Celtic of all time un seeding
Antoine Walker and I do feel like the Marcus Marcus Smart absence to your point is more likely to rear its ugly head in the postseason that being said they certainly sold at the right time Chris Taps porzingis is my friend he’s a huge UFC fan and I think he potentially
Is going to be the difference that gets them over the hump there are a lot of national prognosticators that as much as they love Jason Tatum they don’t necessarily think that he can be the guy as the number one guy when it really matters to win a championship right like
Say what you want about Trey young in Atlanta and say what you want about the word clutch and the overused nature of it in sports but Trey young is clutch right like Damen Lillard these guys will put you on their back and win you a postseason game with timely offense and
I think Jason Tatum can be that guy too but for Tatum his legacy is going to be judged upon winning one Championship he’s got to get at least one right like all these guys Giannis joic both have one Joel embiid gotta win one or his legacy will forever be judged as such I
Think Joe moula is a good coach uh I think he’s better than maybe people think but he’s got to get them easier offensive looks towards the end of the regular season because the notion that they’re going to make their threes and just be the great shot making team that
They are in the second season I think is uh a little bit ambitious but yeah I think it’s it’s their best chance to be sure health is wealth and uh if porzingis is healthy I really like their chances but dude the Eastern Conference got a lot more difficult when Terry Ro
Traed to the heat on the upswing and everything else underrated move question I asked Dana last year gonna ask you this year what is your Super Bowl pick Chiefs or Niners so I have to go with the best player on the field and that is Patrick Mahomes I think Christian mcaffrey could
End up as the Super Bowl MVP and win this thing for the San Francisco 49ers but the better defense belongs to Kansas City and just seeing how calm cool collected controlled Patrick Mahomes was in a very difficult environment in Baltimore gives me a lot of confidence
That he’s going to play great in Vegas you know I don’t know if he’s eating mushrooms micro do and before the game my man but like everything slows down for this guy he’s like the Matrix and uh so I got a bet on Patrick Mahomes I have
I have a lot of Futures tied to the San Francisco 49ers and I’ve already hedged some of those I got some Kansas City Plus twoo tickets already I think that uh at the end of the day the Kansas City defense parlay with Patrick Mahomes is gonna make it back toback I agree with
You my man well John you’ve been more than gracious with your time I want to thank you so much my man for you know sitting down taking time out of your busy schedule to chop it up with me and just talk everything sports but including you know obviously the UFC uh
Our Boston Celtics and so much more my man this has been an absolute blast um thank you again my man and this we we certainly got to do this again because this has been this has been fun I would love to chop it up with you again you
Sound great you look great my man and uh hopefully I cross your wake at a UFC live event the not to distant future but thanks for having me on and uh I enjoyed coming on I enjoyed the show the whole backdrop and everything else buddy we’ll see you soon thank you brother
