THE OLYMPICS ARE COMING
The Olympics are coming (8/8/08) and one of our good pals, Clarissa Chun, is going to be representin’ the USA in wrestling at 105.5 pounds. If you want to personally support her efforts, go to her site, www.clarissachun.com and buy one of her cool T-shirts for $20 or just donate something.
To support USA Wrestling, go to www.fuelthedream.com. We have a lot of pals pushing (and pulling and doing takedowns and pins) for the gold in Beijing (we call it “The Zhing”)!
Look out for another one of our buddies, Tim Hughes, to be covering boxing. You know Tim as the MMA ring voice doing IFL, Sportfight and HDNet Fights, among others. You also know him from being a frequent guest and co-host of The Rear Naked Choke!
Oh yeah - and from this: “CAN YOU FEEL IT?!!!“
FEEDBACK
We want your feedback and suggestions about the show, MMA, or pretty much anything else. We also want Ted to tell people how to listen to the show through your iPhone while you’re in your car or wherever you are. If you have done it or know how to do it, then tell us about your experience. Tell us how you listen to the show and what you love or despise about it. TheRNC@joeted.com. We’re pushing the emailing a lot now.
We also are trying to figure out why those using Internet Explorer load www.joeted.com and have it come up halfway down the page to one of the videos. Sorry about that.

And his brother Jim!
Highlights: Oil Can Boyd, 5-on-2 … JUST LISTEN! OR WATCH!
Dan Miller stunned the establishment Friday night at Mohegan Sun with his belt-winning kneebar of IFL middleweight champion Ryan McGivern.
On May 19, Dan and his brother, Jim, welcomed Joe, Ted and The Rear Naked Choke crew to AMA Fight Club in Whippany, NJ for an in-person show! To hear Dan’s initial appearance on the show, Dec. 3, 2007, click the second player below.

Dan Miller's first appearance on The RNC, Dec. 3, 2007: Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadThe 185-pound IFL championship belt Dan secured was sitting right there on the table the whole show, which featured a recap of the Mohegan Sun card from May 16, the history of the Miller brothers, the MMA scene, family squabbles, the IFL, contracts, and much more.
Don’t worry, we also made Dan talk AGAIN about “The Guillotine From Hell” from his first IFL fight!
It got ugly when Jim revealed the dirty tricks of wrestling and Ted busted out the Oil Can Boyd reference.
If you missed it live, you can download this or any show to your iTunes by clicking the iTunes widget on www.joeted.com, and there also is an RSS feed available among the ways to keep on top of The Choke.
We also are feverishly working to get the VIDEO archive of live shows available through our partners at IFL.TV - feel free to check out the video player and do not wait for word from us. IT’S OK!
THOUGHTS FROM MOHEGAN
We once again were treated in a top-notch manner by the IFL and its staff, especially Jerry Milani, Greg DeSanctis and Katie Eskin. Katie has been instrumental in getting the video livestream running on IFL.TV. As we work out the kinks, the product will continue to improve (and believe us, we’re working tirelessly on it).
As usual, Debbie Rizzo killed as producer. James “The Kitch” Kitcher did well remote producing and keeping up joeted.com from The Land of Urijah Faber. Marty Lang gave us a taste of his professional film making by manning the video.
The guest list from the three on-site Mohegan Sun event-related shows:
Bad Brad Blackburn (co-hosted in Ted’s spot 5/14), Joey Guel, Carlos Hernandez, Zac George, Ryan “The Lion” Schultz, Roy “Big Country” Nelson, John Franchi, Nick Calandrino, Mike Massenzio, Kurt Otto, Tim Hughes, Jay Larkin, Chael Sonnen and, last but not least, Mike Ciesnolevicz.
After the fights finished, the crew hung out at the casino. Ted and Marty chilled with Big Country, and Joe and Debbie caught up with them after a nice chat-up with the Team Quest guys, including Ryan The Lion, Chael, Aaron Stark and Matt Lindland, who eagerly exposed his right nipple.
Bad Brad, renowned MMA photographer Tracy Lee, and Kurt Otto caught up with the crew when Royce Gracie showed up!

Did you WATCH? Did you LISTEN? The Rear Naked Choke’s first-ever VIDEO ringside livestream is in the books!
Live from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut, Joe & Ted did their thing once again, capping off a whirlwind week that saw the show reach new heights. You see, well, SEEING is the key because now The RNC has broken into the world of live video. The guest roster: IFL matchmaker Kurt Otto, ring announcer extrodinaire Tim Hughes, IFL czar Jay Larkin, and light heavyweights Chael Sonnen of WEC & Team Quest and Mike Ciesnolevicz of the IFL and Miletich Fighting Systems!

Shawn Tompkins, co-host Tim Hughes break down all of MMA!
Listen to the Show
Shawn Tompkins and co-host Tim Hughes join Joe & Ted the night before the IFL event at the Meadowlands. Shawn talked about his fighters, including Chris Horodecki, Jay Hieron and Alex Schoenauer. He also gave the scoop on his upcoming reality show, responded to the controversy with the IFL pushing fighters to compete under the banners of camps to which they do not belong, the Randy Couture vs. UFC lawsuit(s) and the IFL’s switch from Xtreme Couture to Team Tompkins. Tim kept things moving with his unmatched insight and professionalism, and gave his thoughts about fighters and their weight-cutting in a forum during the later part of the show.
