Episode 239: The Burgh Blizzard • Paramount+ Growing Pains • UFC 324 Gaethje vs. Pimblett Recap • UFC 325: Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2 Preview • Money Can't Buy Class

On this episode of Slip The Jab, we’re coming to you live from the frozen tundra better known as the Burgh, where Lino questions—once again—why any sane person chooses to live somewhere this cold. We recap the snowstorm before diving into what we’re calling “The Paramount+ Growing Pains.” We talk about the missing walkouts and corner advice, Dana White’s response to ads during fights, and why the Paramount+ app still needs serious work.

We recap UFC 324: Gaethje vs. Pimblett, break down Justin Gaethje’s decision win over Paddy, explain why this fight could do for the Paramount era what Griffin vs. Bonnar did for Spike TV, and give our Not So Rapid Recap, where we go over the other highlight fights of the event.

Ian explains why it’s important for fighters to get more time to speak during post-fight interviews, then shares a personal story about when he didn’t get to say any last words when his brother passed—a moment that still stays with him.

We give our Slip Picks and Ianalysis for UFC 325: Volkanovski vs. Lopes 2, debate whether Volk’s age is a real concern, and run through our Sleepers & Bangers, including Fiziev vs. Ruffy, Hooker vs. Benoit Saint-Denis, and Tai Tuivasa vs. Tallison Teixeira.

Lino thinks Ian secretly believes he needs to lose weight after seeing the size of the hoodie he gave him for Christmas, and goes over the radical life changes he’s planning to make after Slip-a-palooza.

We take a trip to “Lino’s World,” where Lino goes on a rant about Airbnbs that don’t have TVs in their bedrooms, an altercation he had while boarding his recent flight, why he hates the DINK movement, why he doesn’t get along with rich white people, give our review of The Smashing Machine starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, and close with the Post-Fight Song of the Week.
