This week The Puncholes feature... You’re the UFC. Are you teasing Welterweight Bull of the Woods Tyron Woodley by your glowing praise of the Nigerian Nightmare, live and in public, if you will? - 1:42 You’re the UFC. Josh Thomson claims your execs have been running their mouths about sacrificing the Flyweight men’s division for a new 165 pound division. Dana denies, but what’s the truth, Ruth? - 17:13 You’re a boxing promoter.

This week: White Obama and Tariff Man. Join along while Alexei, Eugene and Nate to discuss PR issues in the non-MMA world! Now let’s get to stepping! Step into the shoes of the New York Times. Last week, you followed up on last year’s Nazi normalization profile piece with another one, live and in public, if you will, downplaying the danger of Gavin McInnes as a “former Brooklyn hipster turned far-right provocateur”. In wake of the backlash last year, for a piece you admitted was imperfect, why did you rinse, whitewash, and repeat? - 1:35 Step into the shoes of Beto O’Rourke. Is it better for your brand to stay local until making another run at Lyin’ Ted... or to accept your ascendancy as White Obama….the latest desperate Democratic Trump Derangement Syndrome 2020 candidate since Oprah, live and in public, if you will? - 5:20 Step into the shoes of Donald Trump. Since you are trending after referring to yourself as “Tariff Man, is it better for your brand and messaging to stick with it? - 11:56 REGULAR FEATURE: HEEL TURN - 17:24 SPECIAL FEATURE: #MISTYAF - 18:57 Check out our If the Shoes Fit Patreon page; and If we hit $500 - we will put together a special 2018 Elections in Review (five part series) with a special guest for each episode, ranging from brand experts and political insiders who worked this election. “Until next week, no matter how tight, loose, or uncomfortable, remember these words: on this show, the shoes always fit, so we can never acquit.” __________________________________________________________ THANKS FOR JOINING US.
