O.J. McDuffie and Seth Levit step outside the football world and into the ring with comedy writer Josh Corey, who took on one of the most unlikely challenges imaginable — becoming a boxer with zero experience.

Josh shares the story behind his podcast From Writer to Fighter, documenting his journey from Hollywood writer to stepping into a real fight. What started as a personal challenge quickly turned into something much deeper — a test of discipline, identity, and resilience.

In this episode, the guys dive into:

• Why Josh decided to train for a real boxing match at 37
• Learning he could actually take a punch (and keep going)
• Breaking his nose in three places — and still fighting
• The emotional impact on his family, especially during his mom’s battle with cancer
• How boxing and storytelling surprisingly mirror each other
• The challenge of turning real-life pain into a compelling podcast

They also mix in some NFL talk, Josh’s love for football, and his all-time favorite Miami Dolphin.
