The NFL year is here and Javi is back to recap the offseason plays and drama from the biggest sports league in the world. We also give our divisional, playoff, and Super Bowl predictions. Let's see who sounds stoopider in January. Enjoy!

Once again, my old buddy Lucas joins me on the pod to dive into his passion for surfing. It really is a beautiful thing when somebody finds their passion and surfing is definitely Lucas's. He even started a channel vlogging his life as a dire hard surfer enthusiast/full time medical student. Go check out his content over on YouTube! Lets get @lucashildreth5692 to 5k Subs! The other takeaway I recently took from Lucas was his habit of running at least 1 mile every day. He must be over 400 days by now, but it takes a lot of dedication and more importantly, discipline, to stay focused on your goals and stay committed to your word. He said he would run a mile a day and he's stuck to it. That's what matters. Since being exposed to his routine, I have joined his challenge and restarted my fitness journey. Day 41 is on 6/18/23, I wonder how long the streak lasts... Enjoy!

Something I am betting our species' future on is the power of the internet. On a whim, one of my high school football captains, Dawson, starting posting videos of himself doing short ice baths on Instagram. All of a sudden we're at Day 73 and counting, and Dawson is just getting started. The internet exposed him to this practice and the internet is holding him accountable to his new habit. Taking ice baths, and other holistic health practices, are blowing up online right now. It gives me hope that we can grow into the next century with an intelligent approach to life on this planet. Enjoy!

After a long wait for both of us, Sarah finally joins me on the Pod. Sarah works remote for a Think Tank out of D.C. that focuses on prison reform. Among the many really important issues in our country, unjust and sometimes unlawful imprisonment has some of the most extreme consequences on our country... Studies show that a lack of father figures in the community has a greater negative effect on young boys and men than the lack of a father itself. Along with growing up in and around the Capital, Sarah has a unique insight into the machine of our Government. She has seen the corruption of the establishment and inspiring work of the few good one's first hand, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. Enjoy!

The conclusion of the 2022-23 season is here, and I just had to talk to the family football savant. We give our picks for the big game and talk some of the biggest moves of the unlucky teams who started their offseason weeks ago... Including the fallout of the Broncos disastrous season, Aaron Rodgers' landing spot, Lamar Jackson's future and more. Enjoy!

Welcome back! In the pod's triumphant return, Connor Mudrick, formerly known as my first guest, and I have a good ole fashioned conversation about how things have changed since our college years; the differences between the lifestyles in the West and the East; and I ask him something I've asked dozens of people around my age. Suspiciously, he gives the exact same response I've received every time I ask... Enjoy!

The NFL season is over, and what a season it was! Javi joins me once more to recap the greatest 5 game stretch in NFL playoff history; provide our picks for the game, spoiler alert: I was wrong; and speculate the future of the league including the head coaching hires, quarterback free agency, and our WAY too early picks for Super Bowl LVII. Enjoy!

As promised, I have brought back my family's NFL wizard to wrap up the NFL season. As Super Wild-Card Weekend approaches, Javi and I review our projected playoff scenarios from mid-season and compare them to the playoff bracket we find ourselves with. We discuss who we would want in the QB position for the next 5-10 years, as well as the most interesting head coaching vacancies for the upcoming season. Most importantly, we give our takes on who wins this weekend and answer the big question: who is going to make Super Bowl LVI? Enjoy!

For decades, athletes trained their bodies to compete at the peak of their physical capabilities. But recently, modern athletes have been able to achieve heights nobody thought possible by training their mind as well as their body. This side of sports is where we exceed our physical talent and achieve our true potential. Those who have mastered this aspect of their field inevitably rise to the top. Today's guest is in the center of our collective effort to understand mind in sport and is currently training athletes from 12 year old knuckleheads to former college football players preparing for the NFL Combine. Enjoy!

Today's episode is everything NFL. On Monday night we wrapped up week 8 of the NFL season, and as we enter the second half of the season, I thought it would be a great idea to have my cousin, Javi, on to dedicate a whole episode to sports talk. Javi has loved football for longer than I have and his knowledge base as a junior in high school is nothing short of remarkable. We get into a QB G.O.A.T. debate, make our picks for the AFC and NFC playoff picture, and of course, our analyses of the season thus far. Enjoy!
