Strap on the gloves and join us on the Paddy Wagon Podcast as we sit down with Chris Pickett, a former MMA fighter turned comedian and podcast host. In this episode, we learn "chewing the rag" isn't as disgusting as it sounds.  Chris shares his journey from the octagon to the stage, revealing the highs and lows of his his unforgettable 26-second MMA debut... Ok... Mainly lows.

We take a dive into the world of MMA, discussing legendary fighters, the evolution of the sport, and touch on our two favorite NFL teams who are NOT headed in the right direction... The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys. Mike learns that Chris is a streamer who plays CFB 26 and invites himself onto Chris' channel for a tussle.  Whether you're a fight fan, searching for your Puerto Rican father or just love a good story, this episode is packed with humor, ground and pound, and a whole bunch of swear words. Don't miss it!
