Returning guest John Broughton and I dive into aliens, religion, politics, and of course wrestling a BJJ.

I am joined by one of my best friends and teammates Mark Hall. We discuss our experiences during the 2020 COVID fiasco and we dive deep into his experience as a coach and UPenn and behind the scenes of how to get recruited by colleges if you want to wrestle in college. This is a fantastic episode for young wrestlers!

Maddie Nickal is a dietitian and a nutrition coach with a passion for working with retired athletes. We discuss all kinds of nutrition related to sports, wrestling, and in particular the male and female athlete triad. We talk veganism and red meat, and where those fit in to different diets. Notably, Maddie is the wife of UFC fighter, 3-time D1 National Champion and world champion Bo NIckal.

I am joined by Donovan Ball, a 2-time NCAA D1 National Champion at Penn State and one of the key people involved in the program over the last several years. We talk about Penn State Wrestling as a whole and its identity, and how he felt he fit in to that picture. We also touch on the recent release of Barbie and Oppenheimer.

I am joined by Daniel Greg Kerkvliet, a 3-time D1 Heavyweight All-American for Penn State. We discuss a wide range of topics including wrestling, politics, mindset, religion, and philosophy.

Max Dean, Division 1 National Champion joins me to discuss our experience as athletes dealing with the COVID situation and vaccine mandates. We begin with a quick discussion of our history interests before we discuss his experience moving from Cornell to Penn State and finish off with comments on the so-called "manosphere".
