In his second year with Flyers, Ethan Bloodworth is another Carleton CUT alumni who was raised in the Triangle. Known for his impressive athleticism, aggressive defensive pressure and unwavering competitiveness, "E-Blood" and I talk about last year's championship run, the Flyer's regular season highlights and who on the Flyers "isn't trash" (hint - it's a short list.). Although this interview is before the Flyer's final regular season win back in July, there's still plenty of funny moments and surprising revelations that help build excitement for the upcoming 2022 AUDL post-season!

Charlie McCutcheon is a rookie on the Flyers but is no stranger to professional ultimate. Originally from Poughkeepsie, New York, McCutcheon started playing ultimate during his undergrad at the University of Delaware, before playing with the University of Minnesota Gray Duck during the 2016-17 school year while pursuing his PhD in Chemical Engineering. Before he left Delaware, Charlie won a Major League Ultimate (MLU) Championship in 2016 with the Philadelphia Spinners, and was named the Championship Game MVP in their win over the Portland Stags, the year before the MLU folded. While pursuing his doctorate in Minnesota, he played with the Minnesota Wind Chill (2017, 2018 and 2021) as well as local nationals-contender Minnesota Sub Zero. 

Now based in Virginia, Dr. McCutcheon is a travel player for the Carolina Flyers and looks to bring his intense defensive style to the Carolina D-Line. On the pod we talk about the different systems and communities among all the different areas he's played, how he came to play for the Flyers, what his favorite game with the team has been so far, what it was like to win the MLU Championship Game MVP and much more! Definitely not an interview to miss as the Flyers look to wrap up their 2022 regular season in style!

This week on the pod we talk to an import to the Triangle Area - Seth Weaver. Originally from Madison, Wisconsin, after graduating from Goshen University, Seth moved to the Triangle to attend Duke University to pursue PhD in Genetics and Genomics. Although he didn't play college ultimate at Goshen, Seth was a 4-TIME High State Ultimate State Champion, before playing for the Chicago Wildfire (now the Union) in 2019 and the Chicago Club powerhouse Machine in their run to the 2019 club nationals championship game. Since moving to the area, Seth has played for both the Carolina Flyers and Raleigh Ring of Fire in 2021 where both teams won respective championships. On the field, he's a handler defender who's job is to make sure the other teams handlers "have NO fun".

Is he a nerd pretending to be a jock? Is he a jock pretending to be a nerd? What does "he's got that dog in him" mean?? We talk it all on the latest pod!
