Listen Later

Today, Jack sits down with Matt Dennish, a 39-year-old PE teacher from York, PA, who finished third at the inaugural Fanatics Games during Fanatics Fest NYC 2025. Matt discusses competing against star athletes, including event winner Tom Brady, what it felt like to land on the podium, and the strategies he used across many sports challenges, ranging from quarterback accuracy to UFC striking. He also explains how his prize became a 2003-04 Topps Chrome Gold Refractor LeBron James rookie card and why he then sold it to Brady for $250,000, as well as how life has changed since Fanatics Fest and what’s next. A unique episode that you won't want to miss!
