Episode 6 - We welcome on our #1 Deaf Listener, Deaf Nate.
2:00 - 22:00- Nate fields deaf questions right off the bat, AFTER he goes over the fact that he does not find the nickname “Deaf Nate” offensive and actually embraces it. Nate immediately lets Ray and PJ know how deaf he really is and discusses how the US does not have a black and white definition on what is legally considered being deaf. Nate continues by giving us some details on his cutting edge hearing aids. Continuing the deaf history lesson, we get into some American Sign Language (A/S/L?) questions. Nate teaches Ray and PJ a few new words that they and the listeners can use in their regular day to day life.
22:00 - 37:00 - Next we find out that Nate doesn’t let his limited hearing stop him from pursuing his dreams as we get into talking about his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu competition. We ask Nate how many times he has ended a match by breaking someone’s bones and how many times someone broke his bones (spoiler alert: zero). Then we give Nate a platform to bash a former friend who went on another podcast to mostly fabricate a story about Nate “bragging” about tapping out a black belt in a BJJ training session.
37:00 - 1:21:00 - Later we get into the stories from Nate’s bachelor party in Denver earlier this year. We also discuss the details of his Big Fat Greek Wedding and how he’s adjusting to becoming a father 3 weeks ago and all of the cheezy diapers that come with newborns. We also get to the bottom of how deaf do you have to be to play for the US Deaf Olympic Hockey Team and if they would bend over backwards to get a former Kenosha Cup winner on their team.
1:21:00 - 1:35:00 - We wrap up the pod with some grambling discussion. We go over the Dec 8 UFC fight card, a few of the week 14 NFL matchups and the headline fight in the Dec 15 fight card. We also tease a possible follow up appearance by Nate before Super Bowl LIII.
