Previewing the Penn State/Iowa Dual & Making Picks with Fellers | Ep. 151 Jan 26, 2022

Show notes

This Friday Night, the wrestling dual of the year goes down as 1 Penn State travels to take on 2 Iowa at Carver Hawkeye Arena! I couldn't be more excited for this dual, and as a PSU homer, needed to have a balanced conversation with a Iowa homer, to go through all of the matches one by one! Happy to have Adam Fellers on today to preview the dual and make some picks. Cenzo hops on for 20-30 mins as well!

Cenzo & Real Woods then Drew Hildebrand Joins! | Ep. 150 Jan 15, 2022

Show notes

A back-to-back special today as I'm first joined by Cenzo and Real Woods for a half hour of Coffee Talk, getting to know and catching up with the 141lb NCAA Championship contender Real who just captured his 2nd Southern Scuffle title a few weeks ago.

At the 28:30 mark, Drew Hildebrandt joins me for the second half of the show to talk about his move & transfer to Penn State and his recent debut as a Nittany Lion. Drew and I also talk about what's next, the relationship and dynamic with his sister, Olympic Bronze Medalist/World Silver Medalist Sarah Hildebrandt, who's helped him the most in the room, and more.

Olympic Champ Tamyra Mensah-Stock on Olympics & What's Next | Ep. 149 Jan 05, 2022

Show notes

I can't remember who, but I heard a podcaster once say that if nobody listened to their show, they would still do it because of the conversations they get to have. This is how I feel after having one of the most dominant wrestlers in the world on the show and having such a fun conversation.

Today, 2019 World & 2020 Olympic Champ Tamyra Mensah-Stock joined me on Baschamania to talk all things from Olympics and video games to her Faith and what's next. Such a fun show catching up with and getting to know one of the current greats in our sport! We also talk about the explosive growth in women's wrestling, karaoke machines, and coping with high's and lows, among other things.

Show notes

We had a lot of fun with the Thanksgiving Day Snake Draft with Nolf, so we decided to do a Christmas Special, as well. Cenzo's PSU teammate Luke Gardner joined us today as we chatted a little Collegiate Duals, a little Stanford, a little Penn State, and of course, did a Christmas Day Snake Draft. We hope you enjoy over the holiday weekend and have a very Merry Christmas!

Lee Kemp on Wrestling Adversity On & Off The Mat | Ep. 146 Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Fun guest today as one of the greatest American wrestlers of all time joins the show: 3x NCAA Champ (4x Finalist) and 3x World Champ, Lee Kemp! Lee has not only had an interesting career, but such an interesting life. Adopted at a young age, Lee found wrestling to be his saving grace. Although he didn't start wrestling until a later age than most, Lee quickly became one of the greatest American wrestlers of all time. He even beat the legendary Dan Gable at just 18 years old. Though achieving the highest of highs, Lee also had to usher in the lowest of lows as the adversity didn't stop coming. From the death of his father and an Olympic boycott costing him a shot at his dream to even ending up in a jail cell, Lee has had so many life lessons and it's great to learn from how he overcame and persevered. Be sure to also check out Lee's documentary "Wrestled Away: The Lee Kemp Story" and his book "Winning Gold" available at LeeKemp.com! This show is brought to you by ATAC! Download the app on the Apple App store today and follow along for the ATAC Pre-Season Wrestling Showdown, where from now until November 30th, 10 of the nation’s top college wrestlers including Braxton Amos, David Carr, Trent Hidlay, Seabass, and others will battle it out to see who will out work the rest and be crowned The ATAC Showdown Champion. 💪🏽 Feel free to tweet us and send us messages with questions and general thoughts!

Collegiate Duals & Rokfin; Looking Behind The Scenes With Martin Floreani | Ep. 143 Nov 17, 2021

Show notes

He's back! We had so much fun a few weeks ago, Rokfin CEO & Founder Martin Floreani is back on the show with us to dive deeper into the Collegiate Duals. The Collegiate Duals, which feature 12 teams - 7 of the top-10 in the country - competing in the National Duals style tournament, will be hosted on Rokfin's platform. Uniquely, the teams will receive a portion of the value they bring to the event. Martin touched on this briefly on the last episode when he joined us, but we thought this was worth diving deeper into. This was a great time talking about the behind the scenes and mechanics of this tournament and what it means for wrestling. We hope you enjoy!
