Our reporter and his blonde companion sit in the Man In The Hat's office at Front Street with their backs turned to the desk and their eyes on the big screen on the back wall. "The FCBA Today With Alison Brie" is coming back from its final commercial break.
Alison: "And, we're back with our guests, Emma Roberts and Avril Lavigne, and, ladies, it's time to get down to it. Let's talk about this month's Asylum Card!"
Emma: "We'll get started at bantamweight, where Alexis Bledel will make her return to the Asylum to battle Kat 'The Rack' Dennings!"
Avril: "Then, we'll move up to lightweight, and the Asylum return of Jennifer Finnigan, this time to take on 'The Portuguese Princess', Daniela Ruah!"
Emma: "We'll stay at lightweight for the next bout, which will feature the Asylum debut of the stunning Amber Heard, who'll be facing 'The Gravesend Gladiator', Gemma Arterton!"
Avril: "Next up, we'll move down to flyweight for the Asylum return of both IFFI and Ksenia Solo, who'll step into the ring against 'The Marin County Marauder', Jane Levy!"
Emma: "Then it's up to welterweight, where Angie Everhart of the Bazz Fight Club returns to Asylum for a match against 'The Scandinavian Stunner' Antje Utgaard!"
Avril: "And, we'll finish up where we started, back at bantamweight, where IFFI's Jennifer Morrison returns to Philly for a rematch with 'The Queen of Front Street', Pink!"
Alison: "That sounds like quite a card!"
Emma: "No doubt about it!"
Avril: "Six fights. Two guest stables. Four weight classes. And. It will all take place on September 30th, after the pay-per-view. Tickets go on sale on the Front Street website as soon as we leave the air. So, get yours now and join us in Philly, or, join Jenny O'Dell, Jenny McCarthy, Tess Valmore, and Cassie Scerbo on HBO for 'An IFFI Return At The Asylum!'"
With that, the credits begin to roll and the ladies talk and laugh behind them and the closing theme with their mics potted down. The reporters turn back to the desk, where the Man In The Hat sits smiling.
Reporter: "IFFI is back..."
Man In The Hat: "It's been too long since they've been here. We had to remedy that situation."
Tess: "Same day as the pay-per-view? You're KILLING me!"
Man In The Hat: "Just the way the schedules worked out this month. Asylum always runs the last day of the month and the PPV runs the last Friday. It'll work out. It's a Friday, so we'll run late, long after the PPV is over. Give everybody time to get here and get ready to go."
Reporter: "What's the thinking on some of the fights. Dennings/Bledel and Ruah/Finnigan for example..."
Man In The Hat: "Alexis is sturdy and she has length. She'll be a challenge for Kat because of that. Finnigan's a good boxer. That means Dani will have to work for points."
Tess: "Heard didn't make it at Beever's Babes, but a lot of people thought she had potential..."
Man In The Hat: "I'm one of 'em. Girl can fight and Gems will need to be on her game. No doubt about it."
Reporter: "Solo's got some experience..."
Man In The Hat: "She does. And Jane will have to deal with that."
Tess: "Is that the thinking with Utgaard/Everhart?"
Man In The Hat: "Exactly. A tall, strong, experienced fighter, the kind of girl Antje will have to deal with regularly at welter."
Reporter: "Pink/Morrison...that didn't go well for Pink the first time..."
Man In The Hat: "I recall. And, so does Pinkness. But, do YOU recall how good chef's Irish Steaks are?"
Tess: "Let's GO!"
