As Midwesterners, there's no place GSB would rather be in February than Southern California, and though we can't make it there in person, Honu Sumo's Justin "JJ" Jones and Mengkin Ragan give us the next best thing: a US sumo tournament! The SoCal Open takes place February 25th in San Diego, so find Honu Sumo on Instagram or go to bit.ly/socalopensd for more info! Streaming will be on the Maximum Effort Studios YouTube channel.

Pretty solid basho so far. Some great technical battles, some brutal striking matches, and best of all HENKAS!

2023 looks to be an interesting year. Will we get any new yokozuna or ozeki? Will we even keep the ones we have? Ryan, Mak, Flyric, and Hakuh- I mean Jake discuss.

This was a rough one. Ryan tries to pick up the pieces while Jake tries to podcast and parent.

2022 was a wild year in sumo. Every tournament had a different champ, covid demolished the July basho, Mitakeumi gained and subsequently lost ozeki status, Takayasu broke a million hearts... Join the GSB crew to discuss the best and worst of the year! Stay tuned after the credits for our punishment of the year replay.

Also make sure to check out our amateur sumo award show where Jake and Mak were joined by the Sumo Punx and Sake & Sumo's Caleb!
