In today’s episode, we’re looking at a possible conflict of interest between WME clients Pat McAfee and Joe Rogan. We examine their fanbases, who exactly represents them, their political leanings and affiliations, and current projects. We also discuss Dana White’s UFC profit payouts over the years, as well as the investment the Fertittas put into the UFC before they went supernova. There’s a lot more, so make sure to follow along with our outline as you listen:

Are there any new filings or updates in the UFC antitrust cases?
Are there any new updates to TKO’s proposed Ali Act amendment bill?
If you had the opportunity to add or subtract one thing from that bill proposal, what would that singular thing be?
Recently, Dana White gave an interview where he discussed making his first $million with the UFC. Do we have information on other payouts he received?
Do we have information about what the Fertittas invested into the UFC?
Pat McAfee is in contract renewal talks and the reported offers are sky high. Is Pat’s show now the direct competition of the Joe Rogan Experience?
What do you think of him entangling himself with MAGA and Trump?
With Ari representing him, is there any sort of conflict of interest, since Rogan is essentially a major star for the UFC, and McAfee has much broader horizons as the biggest, most influential talking head in sports?
What do you think of his recently released music?
Do you think Ari Emanuel and Mark Shapiro are doing a good job as his agents?
