Our first interactive edition of The Bum Rush Radio Show went really well yesterday thanks to our loyal readers and listeners who really made the episode.

We’re thinking about doing a live segment for every episode moving forward, so let us know what you think about the idea and whether or not you’d all be interested in participating in future shows.

If you didn’t catch Episode 9 live yesterday, we spoke a bit about UFC 121 and the UFC-WEC merger as well as a glut of other topics including how CP came to be. Some of our loyal readers got in on the action sharing their favorite Cage Potato moments and how they stumbled across our little site.

Rounding out the show, we spoke to UFC middleweight contender Nate Marquardt about his UFC 122 opponent Yushin Okami, PEDs, the opinion of some that Team Jackson fighters play it safe and taking Internet trolls to task for real.

Have a listen, give us your suggestions for future episodes and tell us what you like and what you hate about the show.

If you don’t have iTunes (which you really should) and you can’t listen to the live player at the top of the page, you can download the show HERE.

Cage Potato’s Third Anniversary Interactive Edition of The Bum Rush Radio Show, Take Two Today at 5:00 pm ET

(We have cake. And t-shirts…Come on, don’t make us be the only guys listening.)Well, we’re pretty sure that we’ve got all of the bugs ironed out from yesterday’s show that never happened and we’re going to try to do this thing again today.

(We have cake. And t-shirts…Come on, don’t make us be the only guys listening.)

Well, we’re pretty sure that we’ve got all of the bugs ironed out from yesterday’s show that never happened and we’re going to try to do this thing again today.

We apologize for any inconvenience the show’s cancellation may have caused the three or four listeners who were planning on tuning in.

Since we had a lot of suggestions asking that we move the show back a few hours to accommodate all of our readers/listeners with "real jobs," we’re aiming for a 5:00 pm ET start today forthe latest intimate and interactive edition of The Bum Rush Radio Show.

Call in and tell us about your fondest or funniest CagePotato moment or ask one of us some intimate or thoughtful questions and you could score yourself the official uniform of the Potato Nation: The coveted devil horns CP t-shirt made popular by the cool kids on the site who actually received their near-mythical prizes in the mail.

Log in a few minutes early and we’ll know if we’re having any issues with TalkShoe.

Judging by the test-run we did today, though, everything should be good to go. 

If you want to call in and listen to the show, follow these instructions:

Dial (724) 444-7444
Enter: 89629 # (Call ID)
Enter: 1 # or your PIN if you have a Talkshoe account.
We will be notified that you are in the queue to talk with us.

If you’ve ever wanted to be on The Bum Rush Radio Show, you’ll finally get your chance Wednesday.

We’re going to try out the new format using Talkshoe, webcasting and conference call service that allows listeners to call into the show and interact with call hosts and other callers.

Sometimes when you’re writing an MMA opinion blog, you forget that the fighters you occasionally talk shit about are real people, with real feelings, who would really beat the crap out of you if they found out where you lived. Case in point: Cheick Kongo, who didn’t appreciate a certain article I recently posted about him. Cheick joins Dana White in the growing list of UFC-folks who won’t be inviting me to any parties in the near future.

So Cheick, if you’re reading this and you want some justice, please don’t resort to violence. Instead, come onto our radio show next week so you can defend yourself and explain why you aren’t a dirty fighter. If you’re available, contact us through our site or Facebook page, and we’ll set up a time that’s convenient. Hope to hear from you soon…

(This wouldn’t be the last time Ben and Dana’s paths would cross…)

Chances are, if you’re an MMA media type like Ben, Chad or myself and you get a mid-afternoon call from Dana White on a Saturday, it’s not because he’s inviting you out for Pinkberry.

I won’t give away the surprise, but I will say, if nothing else, although I recommend you check out Ben’s interview with UFC welterweight contender Martin Kampmann, I suggest you listen to the first five minutes of the show to hear what "The Baldfather" had to say to our fearless leader.

All of the usual inane banter, terribly inaccurate predictions and somewhat expert analysis are all still included free of charge.

Instead of waiting with bated breath for us to post the latest episode of the show every other week, make your complicated lives easier by subscribing to The Bum Rush on iTunes HERE.
