What's up, everybody and welcome back to another episode of the podcast. This week we celebrate 3 years of recording. So, to help me kick off another year, my good friend and teammate, Mark R. has joined me as he has done so every second Monday of August since 2020. In the episode, we talked about where we are in terms of grappling, training, literature, and horror movies. The original recording ran for over 3 hours, so we had to break it up into multiple parts.
