I've known Ian for about 8 years now. He was one of my first real Mexican-Mexican friends when I started playing football in Tijuana. He's molded me in so many ways that I could never express my full gratitude...but I'll save that rant for another episode haha.I gave Ian a call to ask about what his experience has been like in the hospital. I wanted to get an insider's perspective as to what the day to day looks like for a medical worker, while people like me are dicking around at home trying to convince ourselves to do an "At home" workout...I really appreciate Ian for taking the time to do this with me and I wish the best for his family, they're the real MVP's (along with alcohol producers)Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Who better to try a Zoom episode with?...No one other than the legend himself: Danny "Single DJ's dirty dick" Pamaran!It's been tough convincing people to come over and record (something about the fear of dying...) so I wanted to give this a shot and see what the feedback looked like. But whether you enjoy this or not me and DJ had a great time speaking about masturbating under quarantine, 2015, and how he's still a terrible person.Enjoy!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

We're locked up indoors, so what better way to get back into the podcast rhythm than talking nonsense with two of your most hated/loved friends???Sunti and Ezra came over to the house to have some drinks and talk to me about what it's like having kids in 2020. Having children is one of my biggest fears so I was hoping they could enlighten me with some insight to the fatherly mind. They are both in unique paternal situations so I was legitimately just interested in how they make it work.I was happy to shake off some of the rust with this episode and plan on coming out with more as we continue to be kept away from these third avenue ladies of the night

This week we take a road trip into the deep dark land that the natives call "San Marcos".I sat down with Murrie, Ant, and Aman to discuss the tough questions in life: Why are we here?...What happens when you die?...Is this bump a cold sore or herpes?...Haha we had a fun silly goose time just hanging out and having drinks, nothing too deep but just a great time with friends. The biggest inspiration for this podcast has always been the sharing of personalities that you wouldn't usually get on the field, and I think that's exactly what this episode does.ENJOY!!!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

This week we have a little different episode from the norm, but I think the change helped me enjoy the conversation that much more.Carlos and Ale are the founders/owners of Crossfit Fortius South, the greatest gym in the world (based on the fact that I'm a member there)! I've been wanting to link up with them for a while to talk about everything from their early life to the day to day gym operations. It was a great time hanging out with them and I really hope we can link up for a part two because we didn't touch on half the things I wanted to talk about!Make sure to drop in for a workout If you're ever in the South Bay area

And we're back with another bilingual episode!!!! But just a warning...if you don't understand spanish...or if you don't like flag football...this episode is definitely not for you

Man...we dive deep in this one fellas. If you guys don't know Charles Warren then welcome to the club. We all know Mr. Warren, but there's always been a thick veil that he carries around with him...essentially the invisibility cloak in Harry Potter. So I was excited when we were able to link up and talk about who he is and what he's about. I extremely encourage everyone to listen to this one, by no means out of self promotion, but simply to listen to a man be honest about the highs and lows that make up our life.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

BIIIIIIG DT came over to have the first ever SOBER podcast!!!!!! We talked about dogs, religion, and general teenage delinquency. A great Monday night with a very interesting young man. I loved every second of this conversation, and it's weird how much less I slur my words while sober...Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

The Brew dawg himself came over to talk about why so much shade is thrown his way for no reason!!! Not really...we mostly talked about coaching, his drawn out battle with cancer, and the life of a business owner. We had a lot of fun recording this so I hope you enjoy listening!

This episode has me in the closest thing I'll ever get to a studio. Meet Brandon Jor-El Egbert...father, athlete, and Dungeon Master on Tuesday nights! Based off the little I knew about Brandon, I was always intrigued as to how he went about cultivating his (very unique) set of passions and interests. For example, how are you balls deep into Dungeons and Dragons, but also lead your football team in touchdowns?? In reality it's not that unheard of, but I just wanted to paint a picture to explain why I was drawn to talking to him about his life. It was a blast getting to know him on a deeper level and having Steve their was just the icing on the cake that I was craving

You know him for his haircut but here's your chance to take a deeeeeeeep dive into that beautiful fade helmet! Honestly, this was another one of those conversations where I was pleasantly surprised by my guest. Going in I knew that we were gonna have a good time, but I definitely had no clue how smooth or tough it was gonna be. Steve blew me away with his thoughts, mindset, and level of self awareness...and he brought Claws...So yeah.Haha thanks again for sharing with us, and I hope anyone listening gets to see this skinny Mexican in a new light!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

So me and DJ decided to take a real shot at talking about the happenings in TUFF this season and it turned out exactly as we expected...horrible. No music, intro, or outro for this one. I spent way too much time adding pics to the video, so I got too lazy to go above and beyond. Remember guys...we tried.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Me and Javo linked up a while back and the episode got great feedback. However, there was one huge criticism...we don't speak english! So we're back for another go around, but this time we try in a Spanish/Spanglish masterpiece. As if you don't already have enough to mock me about, here's your chance to see how bad my Spanish really is. Javo is one of my favorite people in this world so I hope you enjoy this! (assuming you understand Spanish

Big Brit "Btorr" herself came over to the thunder dome to talk about how she went from a petite figure skater to a petite defensive end. She's an incredible young lady with an extreme work ethic to master all that she dives into. It was a lot of fun just being able to hang out and have a beer together

Cam daddy himself came by the house to talk about his family, football, and how he broke Turtle's little heart...I was a little worried about this one but Cam came in and knocked it out the park! Everyone talks about the family life but it really seemed to radiate off of him while he talked about supporting/providing for the ones he loved. Let me introduce you to a man who's full of love and full of jokes

Once again I intrude on a civilian's day in order to indulge my love of conversation. If you play TUFF then chances are you know this young lady (or at least her voice), meet Diane Tannenbaum (or something like that). Miss Tanjuaquio is the female face of TUFF league and an extremely articulate young lady. I was honored to be able to hang out with her for a little bit and really dive into what motivates/drives her. It was a short but sweet visit to Sherman Oaks.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

I was blessed with the opportunity to sit down with one of the most enthusiastic people you will ever meet! She is a lovely/aggressive young lady who enjoys the flag football community even more than I do. We cover everything from hummus to long distance relationships in this conversation, so I hope you guys enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording

I've been in a lot of random situations in my life, and this one fits right on in. We made Caio some flags a couple weeks ago, and after receiving the product he deemed us worthy of meeting with the power that be at Undisputed Flag Football. So what was initially an introductory partnership meeting, turned into a podcast for your guy's entertainment. This is another one of those episodes where I had never met the guests beforehand and once again it went extremely well. The only bad part was that we did it completely sober....Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Steve and Steve come over for some beers and BS...the conversation took an interesting twist when we started down the religion road. It was cool getting to know Scuba on more of a personal level, I came to the conclusion that he's a much better human being than I will ever be. Check out Steve's podcast "Beers and Bullshit" once they get unblocked

Loui G, aka on the clock daddy, aka TUFF San Diego front man, aka the Loui of all trades, came over to check out the new studio. We talked about family, flag, on the clock sports, tuff league, and how we're not sure if Timme likes us or not...This was the first episode I've done since being back in the states, so I was pumped to just sit down with a buddy and poison ourselves

We have the whole squad today! Jade, Bea, #Tori, Gorilla, Carlota, and even Leo all joined in on this one! On our last elephant hike we decided to have a little pow-wow while we ate our lunches. Topics ranged everywhere from me being an affair baby to the meaning of life...it was a blast. My phone overheated at some point, so it abruptly cuts off at the end. However, it was still a blessing to sit down one last time with everyone and really get to know each other. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Let me introduce you guys to Alex Johncola (ugh, it even feels wrong spelling it...). Borderline genius/party animal/puppy lover, pretty much the full package. I've had the pleasure of spending almost every day of the last three weeks with her, so I was excited when she agreed to hang out with me for a bit to talk about what makes her tick. She really is an open book, and if you listen to the podcast then you'll understand what I'm talking about. We had a blast and it was really inspiring to see so much wisdom come from such a young soul. Ladies and gentlemen...Alex JohncolaSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

You never know who you're going to meet in life...So last week, Rosella and I show up to a tiny village in the middle of nowhere. Intimidated, overwhelmed, and low key mud-butty, we walked into a tree house that we would essentially be calling "Home" for the next 8 weeks. I was getting ready to make a run for it, but that's when I saw him: He was like a white, bearded, angel, his name: Chris Bonnar. It's rare for me to come across someone with common interests as me, so that's why I was honored to sit down and talk to him about the road that life has taken him down. Let me introduce you guys to an incredible individual with even more incredible experiences.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Before I hit the road again I had to get an episode in with DJ. So the stars seemed to align for us to have a lovely evening in North Park, discussing flag football...it didn't exactly go down that way. Stewie joined us (kind of) for this verbal threesome and we ended up talking less about flag football, and more about life. It gets a little dark at some points guys, don't say I didn't warn you. *The best part of this conversation was left off the mic because according to Stewie's AFFL contract, he cannot be filmed without written consent (He's changed...)Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Me and Rosella are back with another road trip episode! This time, instead of driving through the slums of California, we're out on the roads of New Zealand trying not to drive off a cliff. We left San Diego 6 months ago with a farewell episode, so this is our recap of the journey so far...pardon the pauses and lack of editing hahaSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Let me introduce you to a couple young bloods: Jordan Benavides and Brianna Whitehead (I promise she's not racist). Two young twenty-somethings who quit their 9-5's to take a little trip across the world! Rosella and I met them during our cruise and we ultimately ended up having a great time with them. They're both extremely intelligent and self aware individuals, which led to a fun conversation about their little adventure.

Why would a middle aged Canadian man live on a beautiful cliff side property in a rural Filipino town?...I'll let him answer that for you.

Steve, Yvonne, Rosella, and I all joined in for this verbal orgy. At the end of our Greece trip, we sat around the bed in Santorini to talk about what traveling means to each of us and why we do it. I love everyone in this conversation like family (one technically is) so it was just a fun talk to have after a long week together. Even though our opinions vary, one thing that is undeniable is that Steve's dad is a terrible human being...Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Me and Corey Webb, aka "BBQ Chicken", aka "The Dip Master", aka "Baby Webb", aka my roomie this past weekend in Panama...sat down before the championship game to talk about the whole experience and what it means to represent the USA. I had never spoken to Webb a day in my life before last weekend, but in that short time of getting to know him it became crystal clear how much of a caring and generous individual he was. He pretty much saved my trip hahaSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Ever have to share a deep secret with someone? The fear of not knowing how they're gonna react, are they gonna treat you differently? Will they still help you move??? We took a little drive around Manhattan with my buddy (who will remain anonymous) and talked about his journey through life and coming to terms with his homosexuality...pretty sure I'm wording something offensively Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

It's rare in life that you meet someone who really shatters all expectations, but that is exactly what happened to me this passed Saturday. Everyone knows him as "Manzy" but all I knew is that he was part of the Money Team who knocked my buddies out of the same tournament just a couple weeks back. So I slid into his DM, drove (half asleep) 5 hours to have a conversation with this man (and also buy some beer), and all I can say is that every minute of the drive was worth it. My words won't do him justice, so just listen for yourself to the man behind the Money Team.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

I'd been meaning to meet up with Jon for a while to talk about why and how he decided to stop drinking after being know as such a party animal. Little did I know that this was gonna turn into a discussion of the minds on the topics of entrepreneurship and creativity. I appreciate Jon's honesty during this conversation, especially on such a touchy matter. It was also just a blast to sit down with someone who knows what it's like to deal with the similar struggles of creativity and branding.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

What does it feel like to have the pressure of your team, your friends, your family resting on your shoulders?...I came to Brandon Goffner for the answer. In the midst of all the hype and attention of this AFFL tournament it would've been so easy to lose oneself, so I asked him how he was able to keep a level head in the middle of all the noise. We also talked about the experience as a whole and the importance of just being mentally present for every second of it.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Prepare yourself to meet the angriest-happy guy in the world! Jake Wolfey Wolfe and his family had such a huge positive impact on my life, so it was an honor to hang out at there house and talk to Jake about an almost fatal accident that he had a few years back. We got into not only the physical struggles, but also the psychological and spiritual ones. We recorded this in San Luis Obispo while my chicken pox was barely starting to act up, so forgive me if I sound a little out of it.

After two marriages and two divorces, what would make a man continue on his pursuit for companionship?...I went straight to the horse’s mouth to find the answer to this one. One of my brothers in life, Jesse Gallegos, opens up to me about the highs and lows of his past relationships. Happy and sad tears were both covered in this conversation, but I give the utmost respect to Jesse for being so transparent and honest about such a sensitive subject.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

Javo is one of the few stand up guys that are willing to hang out with me (he's still a jerk on the field). Born and raised 30 minutes away from Mexico City, but he's spent the last 5 years living in Tijuana. He has single handedly disrupted, destroyed, and rebuilt the flag football community/industry in Baja California (for the best). We talked about everything from his status as a role model amongst his circle of influence to the differences between motels and hotels in Mexico

Guys, who would you rather date? A girl who could make a run for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show?...or one who could break down the intricacies of a 4-3 defensive scheme?...don’t worry this week you get 2 for 1. Meet Rebeca Landa, one of the faces of ESPN Mexico and an amazing overall individual! When I first met this young lady the only word that came to mind was WORK, so I’m excited to have the opportunity to share a little bit of her story with you guys

I went over to TUFF Talk headquarters to finally find out why Steven and Danny hate the Pericos so much?!?! Here’s your chance to hear these cats outside of their show format, we discussed everything from how the podcast started to the future of the league. It was a great time for me to talk to someone who can relate to the grind of putting these masterpieces together

Join me, D, Stew, and Ant as we embark on a magical journey to liberate The TUFF Cup from the greedy hands of the Mid-Cityans! We recorded this last night as we drove up to play against the Raptors, but I actually don’t even remember talking about the game that much...a fun convo as always, but God forbid we have to take that drive again...Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

So I ended up sleeping in a car the night I recorded this... While I was in LA last weekend I decided to crash the raptor’s poker night to ask them about the upcoming tuff playoffs. We also got into their backstory, how nice Mark’s house is, and they let me know how much of a jerk German is...who would’ve thunk??

What’s the feeling you get when a cop car pulls behind you while you’re driving?...nervous?...Scared?...Semi erect?...Meet Robert Henry and Paul South, a couple of guys who have the weird job of inciting these feelings daily. I think law enforcement gets a bad rap (especially within the last 10 years), so I went over to Robert’s house to ask these guys what it’s really like working as cops in a predominately Hispanic area when you’re not very Hispanic...terrible background noise but great conversationSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/mandodirt)

This week I found myself in a heated debate over race and discrimination that almost led to fisticuffs!...not really. Me and Brandon went over to Darius’ house to poison ourselves and talk about what it’s like to win so much and how you keep going after 1,000,000 championships. More importantly, they exposed me to some thoughts and views about race relations that otherwise would have completely stayed off my radar.
