Welcome to IF I DID IT, where we analyze and solve PR kerfuffles from the MMA world (insert hand gesture) not beyond.

Join your host Alexei Auld, author of “7 Secret Sources of Inspiration: A Snappy Guide for Creative Procrastinators”, and his guests, the extraordinary Kid Nate Wilcox of Bloody Elbow and creator of The Let it Roll Podcast, and of course rounding out the team we have the notorious Eugene S. Robinson, from ozy.com, The OZY CONFIDENTIAL PODCAST, and author of “Fight, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Ass-Kicking but Were Afraid You Would Get Your Ass Kicked for Asking”; Collectively, your MMA Puncholes.

This week The Puncholes feature…

You’re the OOF-SEE. With fingers pointing at your Bull of the Woods as a possible sex crime suspect, what’s your PR plan if it ends up being true, live and in public, if you will? – 1:19 video, 1:37 audio

You’re the Nevada State Athletic Commission. Explain the PR behind your fines and suspensions sprouting from the UFC 229 Brawl for it All? – 12:09 video, 12:27 audio

Welcome to another episode of IF THE SHOES FIT; a show where we solve salacious situations by stepping into the shoes of the shaken…the chagrined…the kerfuffed! This week: Noxious nominees and Buzzfeed misdeeds. Join along while Alexei, Eugene and Nate discuss PR issues in the non-MMA world!

Now let’s get to stepping!

Step into the shoes of a presidential wannabe. How do you prevent your ego from reproducing the malodorous whiffs of doom emanating from the Kamala Harris and Howard Schultz campaigns, live and in public, if you will. – 1:16 video, 34:12 audio

Step into the shoes of Buzzfeed. Does your brand require making amends to your best financially struggling, unpaid, teenage quizmaker? – 10:29 video, 43:24 audio

Step into the shoes of former Mayor Willie Brown. What kind of PR effect did you expect by writing about your extra marital affair with Kamala Harris and her potential abuse of power years later by threatening you when she was Attorney General? – 17:53 video, 50:34 audio

REGULAR FEATURE: HEEL TURN – 20:35 video, 53:30 audio
REGULAR FEATURE: #MISTYAF – 26:29 video, 59:25 audio

“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.”

About the author
Alexei Auld
Alexei Auld

Nobody knows how or why Alexei Auld, a lawyer and bestselling author with zero experience in combat sports or journalism, ended up contributing to Bloody Elbow as the creator and chief kerfuffle wrangler of IF I DID IT. But he did. And somehow convinced Nate Wilcox, Eugene S. Robinson, and John Nash that it was a good idea. So much so, they joined him when he created IF THE SHOES FIT which doesn’t even handle MMA. Again, we don’t know why. But like Nate, Eugene, and John, we just can’t quit him or his shows. So here we are.
