48:08Both favor allowing knees to grounded opponents and soccer kicks, but oppose head stomps.

What does Paddy Pimblett call the choke he and Joe Rogan are studying? The "pad tie." Reviewing footage of his submission against Benoit Saint Denis, the Liverpool lightweight gets into the mechanics of the finish, a suitably hands-on centerpiece for PowerfulJRE's most-watched new episode.

"JRE MMA Show #188 with Paddy Pimblett" has reached roughly 2.2 million views. Before the fight analysis, there are American food portions, a hectic travel itinerary and Pimblett's wish to fight at both Madison Square Garden and Anfield. In the comments, viewers keep returning to a less technical exchange about warming eggs in the microwave. Others recognize the familiar Rogan detour into calf kicks. The episode includes sponsored segments.

The week's four uploads stretch well beyond the cage. Gary Sinise, familiar to filmgoers as Lieutenant Dan in Forrest Gump, arrives with his book Graceful Warrior. Paleontologist Kenneth Lacovara brings the world of Why Dinosaurs Matter, while Shane Gillis, Mark Normand and Ari Shaffir reconvene for "Joe Rogan Experience #2581 - Protect Our Parks 18." That gathering is drawing the most views per day right now, followed by Pimblett and Lacovara.

Across the channel, the week brought about 11 million views and an unchanged subscriber count, though subscribers are up over the past month. Daily viewing is running below its usual level. Among nearby interview channels, The Diary Of A CEO had substantial subscriber growth, while First We Feast and Team Coco also finished the week unchanged on that measure. Rogan's own lineup offered a particularly broad set of reasons to settle in: a submission breakdown, an actor, a dinosaur specialist and a table of returning comedians.
