Joe and Matt are joined this week by a legend of wrestling, Wade Schalles. Wade was an NCAA Division I champion in 1972 and 1973, winning the outstanding wrestler award in 1972 while at Clarion University (Penn West Clarion). He created numerous unique wrestling maneuvers and was known for pinning a ridiculous amount of his opponents. Schalles is an inductee of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.

Wade tells Joe and Matt a story that rivals Babe Ruth calling his shot in the 5th inning of the 1932 World Series at Wrigley Field...... must listen!

Gary Astorino, long time Assistant Wrestling Coach at Edinboro University under Mike DeAnna, Bruce Baumgartner and Tim Flynn, joins the boys Joe and Matt to discuss all things wrestling. Despite some slight technical difficulties this is a must listen.

On this weeks episode, Joe and Matt put their differences aside for at least one week to tickle your ear drums with some more mat talk. This week they are joined by Keith Ferraro, a native of Brookville, who is entering his eighth year as Clarion's head wrestling coach in 2021-22. Just the eighth head coach in program history, Ferraro has been integral in elevating the Golden Eagles back into the national spotlight. Speaking of national spotlight, will Coach Ferraro admit that the most distinguished Clarion University Alumni is in fact our very own Joe Lodanosky? You will have to listen and find out. That is what they call a teaser my friends.

Joe Lodanosky and Matt Hill are joined by Jeff Byers, best known as the voice of PSU Wrestling program for 31 years and lesser known as the winless High School JV Wrestler. Joe, Matt and Jeff cover all things wrestling as well as Joe claiming he is the better looking Co-Host to Matt while simultaneously praying Matt doesn't retaliate and put him in a Guillotine.

Joe Lodanosky from the Pennsylvania Sports Network and Matt Hill, current Division 1 Wrestling Coach at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania. As a Fighting Scot Hill was a 3-time National Qualifier with a career record 105-42. Joe and Coach Matt sit down and talk wrestling and cover everything from the upcoming season, NIL, fundraising, recruiting and what it is like being a D1 Wrestling Coach.
