We're going to call it From 24 00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:30,190 Octagon to the Arena. This comes to us from 25 00:01:30,190 --> 00:01:33,590 WDTN News.

After the show, Harrison 32 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,320 signed autographs and met with fans, had exclusive 33 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:03,000 merch on sale. It was a knockout night for the city and a 34 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,640 powerful reminder that even champions come home. And another 35 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,560 great example of big stars using 36 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,080 podcasting as a medium.

Rick Steves perhaps said it best. 54 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,920 Travel and history are the antidotes to fear. When you're 55 00:03:18,920 --> 00:03:22,680 threatened by somebody there, he said, you're probably more afraid 56 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,520 than you need to be.
