·1 hr 51 min·5 clips

Steve explains how he made $1,700 in one month posting memes on Facebook before a copyright strike shut it down.

The episode opens with hosts Steve and Tommy announcing they are broadcasting from a new, secluded home studio in Steve's basement, a gift from his girlfriend, after a hiatus since before Thanksgiving. They discuss personal updates: Tommy earned his brown belt in jiu-jitsu, and Steve's daughter graduated college. The conversation meanders to topics like cheap Colombian food, Facebook scammer call-out videos, and the challenges of their new setup. Steve shares a detailed story about monetizing his Facebook meme page, earning $1,700 in one month before being demonetized for a copyright violation. Guest Mike Polvere, promoter for Cage Titans, joins the call. They discuss the Cage Titans 69 fight card, which sold out two weeks in advance—a first for the promotion. Mike attributes their 2024 success to consistent event scheduling, high-quality matchups with little filler, and an excellent venue (Plymouth Memorial Hall). He outlines key fights, including the pro debut of Ozzy Martin versus veteran Ron Marshall, who cut weight to fight for his daughter. The cancelled title fight between Andrew Valdina and Joe Giannetti ('The Party') is mentioned, with hopes to rebook it. Mike also talks about the importance of cultivating new talent to backfill as fighters move to larger promotions like the UFC or Karate Combat. The episode blends casual host banter with focused MMA promotion talk, reflecting the show's New England sports and entertainment focus.
