You get one of the funniest and most honest episodes yet.

Roger Mathews and Frankie Edgar dive into the realities of business ownership, learning from expensive mistakes, and why choosing the right business partner matters more than the business itself. Frankie opens up about owning UFC gyms, what he would do differently today, and how failure shaped his career outside the Octagon.

The conversation shifts into parenting, youth wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and why kids need to embrace failure while adults avoid it at all costs. Frankie also breaks down the brutal reality of wrestling weight cuts, Fargo Nationals, nutrition, and what competitors go through before stepping on the mat.

Of course, it wouldn't be Champ & The Tramp without hilarious stories—from college fights and food poisoning disasters to motorcycle road rage, unforgettable drinking stories, and debates about the greatest women in MMA history before wrapping up with UFC fight picks.

If you enjoy honest conversations, behind-the-scenes MMA stories, parenting, business lessons, and plenty of laughs, this episode is for you.
