=======================================================================

Tony: What’s up, faithful listeners?! We’re coming to you live from the gorgeous Finko Islands! I’m Tony Duffy...

George: ...A-And I’m George Moosefari.

Tony: Hey, what’s wrong, George? You kinda sound out of it today.

George: Oh, it’s nothing to be concerned about. I’m still going through a bit of seasickness right now. I know we didn’t travel far from the mainland last night, but just looking at a boat makes me ill. Give me a couple of minutes and I’m sure my medication will take effect and ease my nausea.

Tony: Uh, sure thing. The normally private Finko Islands were thankfully loaned out to the Super Ultra Gathering Deluxe Tournament. As we move to the semi-finals, we’ve traded in spotlights and jumbotrons with sunlight and palm trees! With us today are two fighters who are ready to square off in the square circle. Care to introduce yourselves, again?

Issac: Hey, I’m Issac. I’m a hippopotamus.

Brick: And I’m Brick Wilson. I’m...NOT a hippopotamus?

Tony: Heh, well that answers my first question. Now, let’s get to the meat of this interview. During the first half of this tournament, we asked the two of you what you’d do with the prize-money. Now lemme ask why you think you deserve the championship belt.

Brick: Well, I want to say that-

Issac: *COUGH* *COUGH*

Tony: Yes? Is something wrong?

Issac: No, no. Nothing is wrong with me. I just got a tickle in the back of my throat.

Brick: ...Right. Anyways, as I was saying. The reason why I think I deserve that belt is bec-

Issac: *COUGH* *COUGH*

Brick: Hey, do you need a lozenge or something? What’s with all the coughing?

Issac: Oh. Sorry, man. I must be allergic to excessiveness because I know you ALREADY have a belt under your...belt. Huh. Didn’t intend for that to come out that way. Is that where that proverb comes from?

George: You’re referring to Mister Wilson’s title match last year, correct?

Issac: Yeah, that’s the one. This guy already has a belt, so why should he get another one?

Brick: Well, what can I say? Champion belts are like a fine wine. You can never have too many. Besides, the longer you hold onto them, the sweeter they get!

Tony: Alright Issac, why do you think you deserve this belt instead of your opponent?

Issac: Duh! It would look way better around my waist AND on my mantle! Besides, I’ve been fighting professionally for two and half years at this point, I think it’s safe to say I’ve earned a belt by now...

Brick: Appreciate the overconfidence, little dude. If I end up losing our fight, I think I’ll be rooting for you to get that belt.

Issac: Oh, um. Thanks? That’s actually really supportive of you to say?

George: Alright. Next question, gentlemen. What do you do to relax when you’re stressed out after a long day of working?

Issac: Oh geez. I have a great answer to that question, but I don’t want to get censored on this show!

Tony: Didn’t stop a certain *other* combatant from saying what was on his mind...

George: Tony, please. Mister Lee has been eliminated from the tournament and that’s all in the past now.

Issac: Nah, but for real though. My ideal way of relaxing is setting up a bubble bath, lighting some candles and soaking in the tub for an hour or two while guzzling down iced-tea.

Tony: dang, that actually sounds like a primo way to relax. How about you, Brick? How do you unwind after getting bodied in the ring?

Brick: Well, let’s see here. I chop firewood, I work out in my private gym, I go for walks and drives to clear my head and if all that fails, I’ll hit the spa and get a massage to calm me down.

Issac: Do you wear your mask while your getting pampered by middle-aged women?

Brick: Of course I wear it to the spa, why wouldn’t I?

Tony: Alright then, last question before we wrap things up. Would you rather be stranded in the desert? Or the antarctic?

Brick: I’d probably go with the Antarctic, honestly. I heard there’s some polar bears down there who would be fun to wrestle!

Issac: I’d go with the desert.

George: Hmm...Interesting choice.

Issac: What? What’s interesting about it?

Tony: Well, I guess we just figured you’d pick the arctic because you’re...You know...

Issac: What?!

Brick: ...Canadian?

Issac: Oh wow, guys! Way to rely on stereotypes! “He’s Canadian, so that must mean he likes the cold”! I’ll have you know I freaking hate the winter! Not every Canadian loves the snow and getting their asses frozen!

Brick: Hey, man. We didn’t mean anything by-

Issac: Save your apologies for the ring, buddy! I don’t want to hear your incorrect presumptions anymore!

George: Looks like we touched a nerve, huh Tony?

Tony: I’ll say. That concludes our interview. Make sure to either grab those super rare in-person tickets or tune into the next thrilling match of Super Ultra Fighting Gathering Deluxe Tournament! Will Issac soak up some sunlight while securing a win? Or will Brick bury his foe in the sand? The only way to know for sure is to watch the next exciting fight! I’m Tony Duffy...

George: ...And I’m George Moosefari. Thanks for listening, and I hope you’re all feeling better than I am right now...
