The greatest days revisited
All the inside scoop on American Ninja Warrior, with a man who competed against Kacy Catanzaro (and lost) and once ran the course dressed as a hillbilly!
He was a bully, he once combined with teammates to shame their own coach into not coaching the second half of a game. But he got his comeuppance, an excruciating physical comeuppance. Listen for it, on this episode of Glory...
The heart-warming story of how Jacob reconnected with a childhood friend… plus all the other hilarious terribleness you’d expect from Jacob Sirof.
His lifetime batting average at Angel Stadium is .666 That technically makes him the devil.
Jen makes bad decisions while drinking… like deciding to run a marathon.
Professional Dodgeball player (yes he was in the movie) Rob Clyde joins the podcast, and while brushing elbows with fame is fascinating, I dare to say his cult church past is even more fascinating!! A GREAT EPISODE.

Nick was at almost every high school football game there was during his four years… in band.

Steve Mazan played basketball in Gass shoes for half a season. Nobody cared about children back then apparently.
He tried out for the Padres… twice. He also sold peanuts in the stadium and got chased out of a halftime show for the Chargers. So many good stories, the #GloryDays of Gil Rief
