Sumo Kaboom

We scoured the interwebs for personal details on two amazing wrestlers, Kiribayama and Shohozan!

If you love sumo, it's only a matter of time until you start wondering about each wrestler. Which one grew up in an area that gets really hot and really cold? Like really, really hot and really, really cold. Which one cried when he made it to juryo? Which one hates celery?

What is it really like to train for sumo when you didn't grow up with it? How do football and sumo compare? What does sumo have to do with Japanese Heian history? This episode is as much about following your interests as it is about training by losing. Plus, ladies, there's a mention of Enho!

A short episode about a small piece of wrestling wear. We start with mawashi and can't help but fall down the rabbit hole of fundoshi and the Naked Man Festival in Japan. Wanna have a fun night? Take a drink every time we say "man bits" or "junk."

Lots of sumo news this week about retirement, news conferences and celebrations. And then, we're off on a deep dive into veteran wrestler Myogiryu. The dive takes us to painting sheet metal, the abacus, sumo records, injuries, and his dating profile... I mean his sumo website.
