This week’s question from our Discord is kind of a tough one.

Dom Oviedo asked, “Who are the top 5 dead people you wish you could have on your podcast?”

Of all the documentaries we’ve reviewed, this has got to be the strangest. How does a team of supposedly high school-aged football players, who are supposedly students of a school that doesn’t really exist, end up on ESPN getting walloped by one of the country’s most elite prep academies?

How does a man with no experience starting a school or coaching football end up launching one of the most disturbing cons in the history of high school sports? This HBO documentary attempts to answer these questions. And while it’s not perfect, it’s an astonishing look at the forces that make high school football seem like a way out for underprivileged kids and their families and how a con artist used their dreams and vulnerabilities to recruit for a fake school -- Bishop Sycamore High.

The 2005--2009 Florida Gators football team, led by coach Urban Meyer, is one of the most legendary teams in college football history. He pushed them to two national championships in three years and an undefeated season.

This 4-part Netflix series looks at the highest highs and lowest lows of this period. Or at least that seems to have been the idea at some point, but like the team itself, the doc succeeds on some points and loses on others. Fame is hard to handle. Losing even harder.

We explore what makes international competitions across all sports different from those even at the national level.

Should international competition be one of your goals? Should a certain number of countries be included before it’s called a “World Championship?” When most competitors have to travel great distances to unfamiliar places, does that actually level the playing field?

“Intensity” has a specific meaning as related to lifting – a much different meaning than in the rest of the world – yet lifters misuse it all the time. The same is true of “arousal.” That one might spark a bit of a giggle, but when it comes to lifting, it’s deadly serious. Are you using these words correctly?

BALCO. Victor Conte. Steroids.

The Netflix Untold documentary series looks back at a time when we all wanted to believe that athletes were suddenly capable of record-breaking achievements simply by perfecting their diets, training, and supplementation. Sometimes called the “steroid era” it could easily be called the “Say it ain’t so” era.

Did it all start innocently? Were coaches mostly acting as drug dealers? Did the athletes understand that they were cheating and decide they didn’t care?

Listen for our stories of crossing paths with some of the main players in this doc.

Original show notes:

In this mini-episode, we share are thoughts and experiences with lifting in home gyms versus commercial gyms. The pandemic forced a lot of people into home gym situations. Some people hated it, while others joined the ranks of long-time home gym lovers. What’s missing when you lift at home? And what makes it better than lifting away from home?

We’re joined on the panel by Dean Saddoris of Caffeine and Kilos, and our gym manager, Kyle Castro. You can find Dean on Instagram @deansaddoris.ck, and at caffeineandkilos.com. Kyle’s at @kyle.castroo.

We’ve been big fans of the Netflix documentary series Untold. The new season debuted with a look at the rise and fall of Johnny Manziel. A winning Texas high school quarterback. A wildly inventive freshman season at Texas A&M that propelled him to a Heisman Trophy. An NCAA rule-breaking sophomore campaign cashing in on his explosive fame. A brief NFL career marked by struggles with a party boy lifestyle, substance abuse, and the absence of the drive necessary to sustain high-level performance.

The documentary offers some genuine insights and surprises but leaves some critical moments unexplored.
