He's the author of Eat Like a Human, founder of The Modern Stone Age Kitchen, and a researcher/educator helping families, athletes, and coaches rethink what “healthy eating” actually means.We talk wrestling weight cuts, the mental side of food, why modern diets wreck digestion, and Bill's core idea: humans aren't omnivores by biology — we're omnivores by technology (fire, fermentation, traditional preparation, and bioavailability).

On this week's episode of Little Column A, Little Column B, hosts Will Alimonos and Zach Bishop break down a packed slate of Winter Olympic drama, March Madness momentum, and headline-grabbing NBA debates. The show opens with a rousing recap of U.S. men's and women's hockey victories over Canada — tense third periods, electric three-on-three overtime, clutch goaltending, and emotional medal ceremonies (including a powerful jersey tribute). Will and Zach debate the awkwardness of silver vs. bronze presentations, stuffed-animal podium mascots, and why hockey delivered their favorite Olympic moments. From there, the guys zoom out to discuss evolving winter sports formats, hybrid ski events, and why the Olympics somehow feel both overwhelming and too short at the same time.

The hosts break down Cam Boozer's rising stock, Houston's title case, Arizona's résumé, Kentucky's frustrations, Illinois' late-game issues, and the broader seeding and bubble picture as the bracket tightens. On the NBA side, the conversation shifts to tanking reform and whether lottery tweaks or fines can truly stop strategic losing. They also react to Boston's dominant win over the Lakers, encouraging Jason Tatum practice buzz, and national sports media shifts — including ESPN's Women's Sports Sunday rollout.

After one bender too many, one doghouse too many, Paddy Gallagher decided enough was enough. He was quitting the gargle for good. But when he made that decision, he never really expected what would follow – a boxing comeback. However that's exactly what's going down, with the Pat Man ready to return now at the Waterfront, Belfast on February 27. He's been out of the ring since 2019 so there's bound to be some ringrust to shake off, and he'll need to rediscover his timing in there – not that he ever had any to begin with, he jokes. The Rocky Road spends a savage hour with the West Belfast boxer, going over his great amateur career that culminated in Commonwealth glory in India in 2010, turning professional in the Carl Frampton era, tournament boxing in Prizefighter and at the WBC World Invitational in Louisville, and becoming close with Gary Murray, who nearly lost his life after a fight with today's interviewee. Now 36, Gallagher outlines his short-term ambitions in the sport and tells us why he's been inspired by the feats of fellow Belfast men Anthony Cacace and Lewis Crocker during his absence. We also delve into the psychology of the comeback, and the alternative - leaving your dreams behind when you feel you could've done just a little bit more. He hasn't gone away, you know…(Podcast image by Jordan Swain) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Indiana fell to Illinois 71-51 in Champaign in a game that exposed the Hoosiers' ceiling against elite Big Ten competition. After keeping it close for the opening 10 minutes, Illinois pulled away behind their size, depth, and athleticism while Indiana shot just 25% from three-point range and got dominated on the glass (giving up 15 offensive rebounds). Despite Lamar Wilkerson's 21 points and a defensive effort that held Illinois under their season averages, the Hoosiers simply didn't have enough firepower to compete for 40 minutes, dropping to 17-9 overall and 8-7 in Big Ten play.Jerod Morris and Coach Brian Tonsoni (live from State Farm Center) break down the disappointing but revealing loss:How a critical stretch midway through the first half—Conor Enright's bad turnover followed by Tucker DeVries's questionable second foul—triggered a 10-0 Illinois run that Indiana never truly recovered fromWhy Indiana's defensive game plan actually worked (holding Illinois to 71 points, 22% from three) but the math problem broke down when the Hoosiers couldn't hit open shots to capitalizeThe roster depth disparity on full display—Illinois had "more guys who could do more things" while Indiana's bench managed just five points (a Josiah Miles three and two Reed Bailey free throws)Lamar Wilkerson manufacturing 21 points without many clean looks, continuing to prove he's a complete scorer beyond just catch-and-shoot while teammates struggled around himWhat the offensive rebounding massacre (15 for Illinois, 4 for Indiana) reveals about the physical limitations of this roster against elite size and athleticismTayton Conerway's continued absence and regression raising concerns about depth heading into the final stretchWhy this loss shows Indiana's ceiling—good enough to beat peer-level teams but not equipped to compete with Final Four-caliber rosters like Illinois, Michigan, and Michigan State for full gamesPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Over a distinguished NBA and collegiate career, Shane Battier established himself as a scholar-athlete, All-American, leader, and philanthropist. Dubbed the "No-Stats All-Star" by Michael Lewis in a New York Times Sunday Magazine cover story, Shane is regarded as one of the most successful, albeit atypical, basketball players in history for using his leadership, lockdown defense, and intellect to win championships at every level. After graduating with honors from Duke University with two Final Four appearances, one national championship, two All-American awards, & Naismith and John Wooden National Player of the Year awards, the Memphis Grizzlies selected Battier in the 2001 NBA draft. Battier went on to be part of the back-to-back 2012 and 2013 NBA championship Miami Heat team and a USA Basketball Men's Senior national team member. He understands that champions are made when no one is looking and that attention to the often-unnoticed intangibles makes the difference in building a championship culture. In our conversation this week, John and Jerry unpack the highs and lows of Shane's remarkable journey, from his childhood and the role of his parents, to his high school and college days, to his introduction to the NBA, and finally his championship seasons. We also discuss his post basketball years, his struggles with the transition off the court, an dhow he has reinvented himself to become an advisor, speaker, and a better father and husband.  BOOK A SPEAKER: Interested in having John or one of our speaking team come to your school, club or coaching event?

Send a textWhat if the Browns' next era starts with a new address and a new attitude? We dive into the looming stadium move to Brook Park and unpack why an indoor, multi-use venue could transform Cleveland's sports economy—Super Bowls, Final Fours, mega concerts—while weighing the real impact on downtown businesses and fan traditions.From there, we turn to the sideline. Todd Monken may not be the splashy headline, but we make the case for why an organized, veteran play-caller could be the right pivot after years of offensive churn. We revisit the Baker Mayfield to Deshaun Watson saga, distribute accountability across the building, and lay out how that decision still shapes today's roster math and draft strategy.Roster talk gets specific: rebuild the offensive line, secure a true WR1, and restore an identity that travels. We debate Shedeur Sanders' upside versus turnover risk, outline Dillon Gabriel's likely role as a steady reserve, and explain why clarity at quarterback starts with cleaner pockets and defined reads. Then we stack Stefanski against Browns history—does two Coach of the Year awards put him in the franchise top five?—and close with bold but reasoned 2025 win totals grounded in defense-first football and incremental offensive gains.If you care about Cleveland Browns news, NFL coaching changes, QB development, and draft strategy, this roundtable hits every angle with candor and receipts.
