We have back with us today one of our favorite guests Jake Bible. I've known Jake for a few years. I used to work out with his wife. We all used to meet at the bar and have great conversations over a few beers. Jake has a wonderful outlook on life. He was involved in an extremely bad car accident about 10 years ago. The car accident left him in a coma for a few weeks. An experience like that can change your perspective on life. Now he's doing his best to make the most out of life.

In today's episode we talked a lot about one of Jake's favorite topics, politics. We talked about where Jake likes to get his news these days. We both agree that you can't trust anything on the mainstream media, on either side of the isle. Jake now believes that the best way to get the real news is to listen to podcasts. I have to agree with him. Podcasts seem to be the best platform for anyone to talk freely about any topic they choose. It seems that if someone works for a major company they can't speak their mind without major consequences, usually their job. Plus each major company obviously has their own agenda they want to put forward. Podcasts are a great way to get information out on both sides of the issues and allow people to make up their own minds as to what they believe. Which obviously is the whole point of politics.

We talked about some other fun topics as well. At some point I may or may not have gone on a a bit of a rant about social media and people not being who they portray themselves to be online. I just don't understand why people just aren't genuine all the time. Is it really so hard to ask everyone to just be real?? We also got into voting a little bit. Where Jake likes to get his information about how he can due his duty to be an educated voter.

A little about Jake... Jake is a CNC Hydromat Machinist. He is what I would call blue collar proud. Unfortunately it seems like today's society looks down on someone who doesn't have a college degree or a white collar job. But there's nothing wrong with working a blue collar job to provide for your family. We need those people doing what they do and they should be proud to do it.

Jake is very active politically and writes his opinions to the Letters to the Editor in the Medina Trading Post (ThePostNewspapers.com/Medina). He has been writing his letters to the editor for 4-5 years. In the beginning he was writing into the paper once a week. But after a complaint about certain people writing in too often, he now only writes in once a month. That's the most any one person is allowed.

Jake is a huge Cleveland sports fan. His favorite team is the Browns. Although he enjoys watching the Indians and the Cavs too. He's always talking about how the Browns will be have a better season, next year.

We have back with us today Kirk Puterbaugh. I wanted Kirk to come back on the show to talk about one of his hobbies. Home brewing his own beer. Kirk has been brewing his own beer for a few years now. He likes to experiment with different types of beer and crazy ingredients. I've had the pleasure of getting to sample a few of his different beers. Every one of them I've had was excellent.

Kirk is very active in the home brewing scene in Northeast Ohio. He has entered his beers into competitions to be judged to see if he needs to tweak his recipe. He has also helped run similar events to help grow the local home brewing scene. He is a part of the Little Mountain Home Brewers Association which can be found on their facebook page.

I don't know why I enjoy learning about alcohol as much as I do. But I find it incredibly fascinating. I had fun talking with Kirk about making beer and I hope you will enjoy our conversation as much as I did. Enjoy.

Our guest today is my good friend Jay. I've known Jay for a few years. He's what I would call a fast friend. We just hit it off right from the beginning. We don't get to see each other as much as I'd like. But when we do get together it's like no time has passed at all. Those are the best kind of friends.

Jay is really into politics and current events. We always seem to have interesting conversations when we get together. His employer frowns upon their employees talking about politics in a public setting. But Jay feels that there are important topics that must be discussed. With respect for his employer he has asked to remain anonymous here on the podcast.

During our talk we got off into the weeds quite a bit. But that seems to happen here on the show a bunch. That seems to be a gift of mine. We talked a little about how he grew up. Going to college and even how to buy cars. Along with a bunch of other random topics.

I enjoyed our conversation. Hopefully you will as well. Enjoy.

Today we have a special treat. We have back with us one of our favorite guests Dr. Maximillian Zart and a first time guest Dr. Lucas Summers. Both of them are from the Healthiest You Chiropractic Center in Strongsville Ohio.

Today we have two doctor's of Chiropractic Care Professionals to discuss a podcast from Joe Rogan and Yvette D'Entremont called Chiropractors are Bullshit. On their podcast Joe and Yvette talked a lot about the origins of Chiropractic Care, which seems a little shady to say the least. They didn't have too many good things to say about Chiropractic Care.

On our podcast we discussed the Chiropractors are BS podcast and some of the points they brought up on the show. Hopefully we were able to show a different side of the argument so people can make up their own minds whether Chiropractic Care is something that would benefit them or not.

Dr. Max attended Baldwin Wallace University where he graduated Suma Cum Laude with a degree in chemistry. Dr. Max furthered his studies at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Florida where he graduated valedictorian of his class with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree.

Dr. Lucas attended Miami University and graduated with a bachelors degree in Kinesiology. Then Dr. Lucas went to the Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas Texas. He graduated Cum Laude with a Doctor of Chiropractic Degree.

You can make an appointment to see Dr. Max at his office located at 15247 Pearl Rd. Strongsville, Ohio 44136. Or call the office at 440-238-3338. Visit THYCHIRO.com to find out more about his practice. He is by far the best chiropractor I have been to. Everyone I send to him says the same thing. You won't regret it.

Our guest today is Ryan Carlson. Ryan has been the tech support for this podcast since before I even committed to do it. He has been a huge support in many different ways for the show. He helped me pick out my laptop, set up my equipment and even find where to upload and host the podcast itself.

Ryan is very interested in all things technology. He seems to always be up to date on all the new things coming out. He's always listening to podcasts and watching videos to find out where technology is headed. He usually has to explain it to those of us who don't understand how all these things seem to work. I'm sure it gets old for him trying to get things through my thick skull. I tend to be very old school and not up on technology. He's always giving me hell for only using 2-5% of what my phone can actually do. He is the person I go to with any technology question.

Ryan also enjoys brewing his own beer. I don't think he gets to brew as much as he'd like because of his two small children. They seem to keep him pretty busy. But I'm sure we'll end up talking about beer in a future episode.

We decided to do a Technology 101 podcast so Ryan could cover some basics. We had a fun conversation that I hope you will find useful. We definitely just scratched the surface. We'll have to do some more podcasts like this in the future. Enjoy.

Our guests today are my friends Kirk and Sam Puterbaugh. Having married couples on the show is something I'd like to do more of in the future. I love getting to hear a couple's story. How they met, what they do to make their relationship successful and how they got through the problems in their relationship. Maybe it's just the hopeless romantic in me.

Today we got to know Kirk and Sam a little bit. Then we got into their fitness journey. Kirk was over weight and had a health scare. They decided together to start seeing a trainer to get healthier as a couple.

Kirk and Sam met in college because they both played in the band. They hung out as friends for the first year and then they started dating. They've been together ever since. Like any relationship they've had their ups and downs. But like all of us they had to communicate with each other openly to work through anything that came up. I personally believe that open and honest communication is the only way to make a relationship last. If the communication isn't there the relationship is doomed.

I had a blast talking with them and hopefully they will join us on the show in the future. Hopefully y'all enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Okay folks I have a special treat for you today. For the first time on this podcast we have two guests for you to enjoy. We have back with us one of our favorite guests David Choma of Crossfit Strongsville and we also have David's future brother in-law Luke Weeks. David wanted to have Luke on the podcast because of his interesting story.

Luke grew up in Northeast Ohio and was really into playing his guitar and writing his own songs growing up. Luke spent a couple of years in his teens down in South America with his family on missions trips. Unfortunately shortly after returning to the states Luke found himself in a bad place in his life in his late teens and early 20's. He felt like he wasn't living his purpose and knew he needed to make some changes. Luke had to make some really tough decisions in his life to get things back on track.

Luke got a job working for a gas company and enjoyed the work. But with a job like that you end up traveling a lot to different job sites and spending too much time in hotels and away from home. After that job he moved into construction to be closer to home.

Luke has been very involved in music most of his life. He's played in different bands writing and recording his own music. He currently sings in a metal band and is excited to learn more about this different genre of music, as he has mostly played rock and roll music (my personal favorite).

As a hobby Luke started restoring old furniture to keep himself busy. That hobby has grown into his business Opportunity Furniture. Luke has a big vision for Opportunity Furniture and hopes to grow it locally and eventually even bigger. He wants to get more into custom furniture and not just restoring old furniture.

You can find out more about Opportunity Furniture by emailing [email protected]. You can follow him on Instagram @OpportunityFurniture and @LukeWeeksHimself.

David is one of the sponsors of the show and has been a huge supporter since before the podcast even started. You can visit David at Crossfit Strongsville located at 15247 Pearl Rd. Strongsville, Ohio 44136. You will receive a 1 on 1 consultation with David to see how they can best help you reach your health goals. You can follow David on Instagram @IronHalo19.

David has the following certifications

- Crossfit Level 1

- Crossfit Kids

- Crossfit Judge's Course

- B.S. Exercise Phsiology

- ACSM Certified Personal Trainer

- Silver Sneakers MSROM

- Crossfit Level 2 (CF-L2)

Our guest today is my friend and teammate Katelyn Reuther. I am very excited to have Katelyn on the podcast. She has a very interesting background and I can't wait to dig into it. Katelyn was home schooled all the way through high school. She was active growing up playing different sports such as soccer and being on the swim team. She was also involved in horseback riding and the speech and debate team.

Katelyn has always been active in her church and went to college to study youth ministries. She worked at church summer camps through high school and college. Katelyn got her start coaching during her senior year of college when her coach asked her to be the player / manager of the JV soccer team.

After college Katelyn got a job coaching soccer camps for kids. She got an opportunity through the company running the soccer camps to take a position in Ireland coaching Futbol (or soccer to us from the states) to kids over there. She lived and coached there for 5 years. While in Ireland she played Futbol for a local club team for fun. A local gym had a clinic for Olympic Weightlifting that she attended. She enjoyed the clinic and signed herself up for a weightlifting meet with basically no idea what she was doing. At the meet she met some people from a weightlifting club that invited her to come and train with them. That club had some of the best lifters in the area and she got the chance to train with them and learn the sport.

Now that Katelyn is back in the states she is coaching and competing in Olympic Weightlifting. She is one of the most dedicated lifters we have at the club and is a great example to all our lifters. Her goal in weightlifting is to qualify for the USAW American Open and the Senior National Championships. She coaches weightlifting at Crossfit Intent in northeast Ohio. She has two level one Olympic Weightlifting certifications. One from USAW and the other from British Weightlifting (Great Britain's National Governing Body for Weightlifting).

Katelyn is always a huge help at the club. She helps coach the lifters during practice and at meets. She seems to always be the first to suggest team get togethers and plan meet travel carpools as well. She is a huge asset to the team and she is becoming a great coach. You can follow her on Instagram @KateLeoLifts. I really enjoyed our conversation and I hope that you will as well.

We also talked about transgender athletes and whether that's fair to the other competitors. It was definitely a fun conversation. I hope you folks enjoy it as much as I did.
