Cutting Wait

The crew enjoyed their summer hiatus and are back in the saddle again.  Tony Brunetti is now a semi-regular and 3 time guest.  The Indians will become the Guardians.  Olympics - What makes a sport and mental health.  One final question.  

Beer: Rhinegeist Brewery (Cincinnati, OH) - Mathlete Low Cal IPA

Recorded at the Holly Inn on Pinehurst Resort in Pinehurst, NC.  The guys are joined by Tony Brunetti on the last night of their annual golf trip.  We discuss what makes these trips special and recap our three days of golf at this legendary track.

We welcome legendary leader, educator, and coach Tim Armelli to this very special episode.  Coach recently retired from a career that spanned 6 decades and 42 years.  The discussion spans various topics including kids sports, coach's responsibilities, and how to be involved with your kids.  Coach is also a leader of The Coach Hall Foundation which focusses on keeping kids safe at school and improving our school communities.  More information can be founds at coachhallfoundation.org, @challfoundation on Twitter, and The Coach Hall Foundation on Facebook.  Of course we hit Coach with 5 Questions which leads to a great story from his high school football playing days.

Beer: Goldhorn Brewery (Cleveland, OH) - Polka City Pilsner

We welcome JCU wrestling teammate and all around great guy Gerry Scott to the show.  We received some emails finally.  Gerry shares the details around the great goat heist he helped pull off with Mike and Jim.  Some Eagle Rare bourbon is shared and we end with 5 Questions for Gerry.  

Beer: Heretic Brewing Company (Fairfield, CA) - Make America Juicy Again New-England Style IPA

The guys recap the Masters, both the tournament and their pool.  We discuss the lack of hitting from the Cleveland Indians and how some young people don't know who A-Rod is.  Mike gives us an update on global politics (sorry if you actually learn something from this podcast).  As usual, hilarity ensues.  Mike ends the podcast with one question for the group.

Beer: Great Lakes Brewing Company (Cleveland, OH) - Hazecraft IPA

Catching up on what everyone did for Easter, the Masters tournament and pool, and slaying some steelhead.  Instead of 5 Questions, each of the hosts got to ask the other hosts one question.  

Beer: Great Lakes Brewing Company (Cleveland, OH) - Chillwave Double IPA

We welcome friend, teammate, and all around great dude Rich Eslich to the show.  Rich runs his own demolition company, Wreck-it Rich.  Discussions include the following: Eslich family history of wrecking things, our shared Tough Mudder experience, Rich owning and running a haunted house, JCU wrestling, and bike week.  Things got off the rails a little bit during 5 Questions.

Beer- Noble Beast Brewing Co. (Cleveland, OH) - Synth Lord Analog IPA Volume 1

Paying tribute to two Northeast Ohio legends, Michael Stanley and Joe Tait.  We welcome our first guest via Facetime (that explains some of audio), founding member of Vagina Stew, Frank "Ponch" Mottola.  Frank loves darts, skateboarding, and golf.  We explore all of these and more while reliving some stories from the past.  5 Questions ends the evening.  

Beer - Sibling Revelry Brewery (Westlake, OH) - IPA 

We cover a variety of topics, but you'll have to make it to the end of the podcast to hear about how "Shitty" Jim strikes again.  Topics include: the Browns QB thinks he's seeing UFO's, why sending D picks is never a good idea, how no one leaves or listens to voicemails anymore, the 2021 annual golf trip is planned, and going down that Tick Tock rabbit hole.  We end with a new segment called 5 Answers (aka Jeopardy with Jim) where you'll find out once again how he earned his nickname.  

Beer - Collision Bend Brewing Company (Cleveland, OH) - Hazy on the Details (Hazy IPA)

We welcome John Carroll University head wrestling coach Mark Hawald to the podcast.  Not only does Mark hold the all-time wins record (tied) at JCU and he was an All-American in his wrestling days, he also hosts the highly successful Wolfpack Radio podcast.  We spend time discussing wrestling which leads to the story about when Mike and Jim dressed up as lucha libres for practice one day (it didn't go as expected).  Mark gets hit with 5 Questions.
