I want to start by apologizing for the low volume on the episode. My volume wasn't adjusted and I was not aware until after. I did make an attempt at fixing it, though. On this episode, I welcome friend and fellow grappler, Joe Huggins. We jumped topics way too often and almost without warning, Of those topics, we discuss "Essential" MCU films, coaching and teaching, properly chewing food, and The Mandalorian. Get buckled in and prepare for a low volume ride all over the place.
You can find Joe on social media at @blackdynamitexv
