Interview with New York Giant Nick Gates | Ep. 43
In this episode, our guest Nick Gates hails from Las Vegas, Nevada and he is essentially a swiss army knife for offensive line play, having played every position on the O-Line from his days at Nebraska, to now for the New York Football Giants. And to top it all off, he was named team captain before the start of this season. I'm sure everyone recognizes him from his horrific injury earlier this season, and while we discussed the injury, we also learned more about Nick as a guy off the field. I hope you guys enjoy it!

Interview with former UCF Knight & GMTM Founder Joey Grant | Ep. 40
This week's guest features a former Big Guy who helped put the University of Central Florida football program on the map as Blake Bortles center. However, his most impressive accomplishments might be after his playing days as he helped co-found a company called GMTM which prides itself on being the 'athlete exposure platform'. During the interview, we discussed how Joey landed at UCF, his playing career at the school, and some of his favorite and most memorable games which have since catapulted UCF into the higher tier of college football programs. We also touched on his life after football, including the company he is currently building called GMTM. Overall, it was an awesome conversation and I had a lot of fun interviewing him!

NFL Week 1 is Finally Here! | Ep. 34
The NFL season is finally back and I couldn't be more excited about it! In this week's episode, I discuss contract extensions (or lack thereof) starting with the monster extension given to Vikings RT Brian Oneill. ($92.5 mil second amongst RT’s) Raven's Tight End Mark Andrews signing an extension becoming the third highest-paid Tight End and waiting on the Steelers to sign star TJ Watt. I also touch on Zack Martin being ruled out in Week 1 with covid, which is extremely disappointing, and Leveon Bell signing with the Ravens. Finally, I recap the college games from last week and give my picks for this week's college and NFL games. I'm not saying I'm a sharp, but I went 4-1 last week with my college picks. This week I like Iowa over Iowa State, Ohio State over Oregon, BYU over Utah, and USC over Stanford. For the NFL, I'm going with Bucs over Cowboys, Bills over Steelers, Chiefs over Browns, and Hawks over Colts.

The No Fun League. | Ep. 31
In this week's episode, I start by discussing the sham that is the NFL Top 100 list. Big guys continue to garner no respect even from their peers. I also touch on some big guy news such as Teven Jenkins needing back surgery and Mt. Becton getting heat from the New York media for his preseason "struggles" thus far. Then, of course, I talk about the newest NFL taunting rule change which has caused people to get the 'No Fun League' trending across social media. Lastly, I briefly touch on NFL news around the league such as NFL stadium covid protocols, Falcons becoming the first team to be 100% vaxxed, Jamal Adams becoming the highest-paid safety in the league, Josh Rosen being cut yet again, and last but not least, the Tim Tebow era ending in Jacksonville.

The NFL Season Kicks Off! | Ep. 30
The NFL season is officially underway! In this week's episode, I briefly discuss the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Dallas Cowboys Hall of Fame game, the impact of Quinn Ewer's decision to leave High School early to cash in on NIL deals, and an array of other news around the NFL. The news included the plethora of foot injuries on the Colts, mayhem in Minnesota between the release of former first-round pick Gladney, and the tension between Cousins and his head coach on the covid vaccine, the rise of the Young QB's (Mac Jones -> Newton/Trey Lance -> Jimmy G/Ellinger -> Eason/Fields -> Dalton) and Joe Burrow's struggles.

Interview with Darrian Carmicheal aka Coach Syrup | Ep. 27
In this week’s episode, I interview the man, the myth, the LEGEND, Darrian Carmicheal aka Coach Syrup! As many of you know, I helped Darrian go viral a few years ago when I tweeted out a picture of him giving his linemen syrup shots after touchdowns. As a result, Coach Syrup was born. In my interview with him, we discussed what it was like to go viral, his love for kids and coaching, his off-the-field ventures such as his own mentorship organization that he founded "Put Me in Coach", and of course, his favorite foods and best places to hit when in ATL.

Denver Bronco Drew Himmelman interview | Ep. 25
Illinois State’s Drew Himmelman joined me on the podcast this week, where we discussed his transition from a tall lanky High Schooler to the mauler Left Tackle NFL prospect that he is today. We talked about the struggles of covid-19 and how it impacted his senior year, such as playing the FCS season in the spring rather than the fall; and his preparations for the upcoming NFL Draft. We also talked about how Drew was the lead blocker at Illinois State, for now, NFL star Running Back James Robinson. We concluded the interview by discussing some of Drew’s off-the-field hobbies, Illinois State O-Line dinners, and Drew’s favorite foods. Thanks for listening and enjoy!

Interview with Super Bowl Champion & College Football HOFer Aaron Taylor | Ep. 24
Episode 24 with Aaron Taylor has to be my favorite interview yet. We discussed his playing career from Notre Dame to Green Bay, life after football, and the creation of the Joe Moore Award. Aaron tells great stories of Lou Holtz, Jerome Bettis, Brett Favre, Reggie White, duffle bags with $700k floating around the locker room before the Super Bowl, and so much more! I highly encourage everyone to listen to the entirety of the episode even if that means breaking it up into sections! Definitely expect Aaron to be back on the show.

Interview with Former Auburn Tiger & current ESPN Analyst Cole Cubelic (Part 2) | Ep. 23
ESPN College Football Analyst Cole Cubelic joined me on the podcast and this episode is Part 2 of our interview. In Part 2, Cole talks about one of the most exciting and best college football games he has ever witnessed, along with discussing the possibility of the FCS having a spring season. Rather than having one traditionally in the fall where they are constantly overshadowed by the Power 5's; whether online, TV, or media coverage. Cole also previews the 2021 Linemen NFL draft class sharing his opinions on the value and depth of the group as a whole. And what would be a Cole Cubelic interview without discussing the famous Bloomin' onion bit at the Outback Bowl that went viral. Last but certainly not least, we discuss Cole's favorite foods and the best places to eat in Birmingham and Auburn.

Interview with Former Auburn Tiger & current ESPN Analyst Cole Cubelic (Part 1) | Ep. 22
ESPN College Football Analyst Cole Cubelic joined me on the podcast this week. While editing, I decided to split this episode into Two Parts because I didn't want to cut anything out of our awesome conversation, and I also didn't want to upload an hour and a half episode. In Part 1, we discuss the biggest hoax known to man, aka the BMI index. Cole also walks us through how he went from never playing an offensive snap in high school to being the starting center for Auburn. I also ask Cole to explain the Alabama-Auburn rivalry and the impact of the infamous poisoning of the oak trees at Toomer's Corner on Auburn's campus.
