ANDREW TACKET was on a tear at this year's ADCC Open. To commemorate his big wins, I decided to hit him up and catch up about that experience, his incredible run on "The Ultimate Grappler" (a.k.a. "Who's Next"), and the types of goals he's got for the upcoming year. I also take him to task for all of the nonsense he said about "old people" on the show.

THIS WEEK we've got the 205 division SubSpectrum champ, DERRICK FLAIG, joining us on the show. We chat about his clunky Stone Cold Steve Austin moment, how he went from getting concussions on the football field to heel hooking folks on the mats, and what lies ahead for the young champ.

JOSH LEDUC comes back on the show to plug his sh*t (aka one freaking amazing Sapatiero Invitational).

The winner of the inaugural season of THE ULTIMATE GRAPPLER (aka FloGrappling's "Who's Next"), IZAAK MICHELL joins us for a chat about his epic 2-hour match against Kyle Chambers. We talk all about that match, his move to the USA, and we even pitch an idea for something he can do in the coming year.

As part of our weekly live chat series, I put up a prompt about recovery methods and was surprised by some of the responses that we got. After this week’s episode with Sven Manseau, I took some time to chat with the audience and read some of the best responses that we got. Be sure to keep a look out on our social media as each week we’ll ask a question and then respond to some of the prompts on the show. ALSO: Apologies on the slight dip in the audio quality after the intro. One of the audio settings changed mid-stream and I did a pass at fixing the audio to be clearer. Next time we’ll make sure to make the proper adjustments! Thanks for understanding!

It's #StrengthMobility week here on the show. Today we air an interview that I did with co-owner Sven Manseau all the way back in January of 2020. A simpler time some might say.

It's all a part of our Strength Mobility appreciation week here on the show. Because this Saturday, we will have our #UFC270 FIGHT COMPANION airing live from there. So make plans to watch the action along with us.

But sit back and get to know why I think Sven has some of the best grappling and kickboxing the valley has to offer.
