Success doesn't come from flashy moments. It comes from showing up—every day—long after most people quit. In this episode, Trent sits down with Tyler Morris—entrepreneur, investor, and what Trent calls a professional grinder. Tyler didn't come from privilege or shortcuts. He grew up in a small town, learned early how to work without recognition, and built his career by outworking, outlasting, and out-learning the competition. After a successful eight-figure exit, Tyler didn't slow down—because grinding isn't a phase, it's who he is. Together, Trent and Tyler unpack: Why being underestimated can be a competitive advantage The difference between grinding and burning out Why alignment beats talent every time How delegation separates small business owners from real operators Why adding value to others is often the fastest way out of a personal or professional low point This is a masterclass in discipline, humility, and long-term thinking. Key Themes & Lessons Winners don't wait for perfect conditions—they prepare Confidence comes from preparation, not ego Teams win championships, not individuals The grind never ends—you just get better at it When you're down, go help someone else Resources Mentioned M2 Digital Marketing Group – Website strategy & growth-focused digital marketing Concept: Minders, Finders, and Grinders (knowing your lane) Athletic mindset applied to entrepreneurship Long-game execution over short-term wins Connect with Tyler Here - https://calendly.com/tylermorris22/schedule_conversation If this episode challenged you, don't keep it to yourself.

Happy Christmas and Merry Holidays to all! It's the 2025 season finale of RPGrinders and it is one of the best of the year! Don't worry, because we will be back in 2026. Until then, enjoy this last episode of the latest news, reviews, and some special surprises. (That aren't actually surprises because we already said we would do them!) With only a week left in this weak ass year, there are no new releases to announce. That's okay because 2026 will soon be here and with it, new games a plenty. The next few months alone will see the releases of Escape From Ever After, Ariana and the Elder Codex, and MegaMan Starforce Legacy Collection. Enough games to keep us all occupied through the long winter months. In the holiday spirit of "scary ghost stories," Frank reviews one of most popular horror franchises of all time. I won't spoil the surprise, but I will say that Santa Claus isn't the only thing keeping children up late at night. Every year, the Grinders give our top pics in RPG gaming. Even a crappy year like 2025 has had some fantastic releases. For the first time ever, the Grinders all choose a game from one certain franchise. Retro games remade for the modern error without losing the charm of the originals. What were once just 2D pixels are now rich 3D worlds to explore. Stagnant enemies are now in full motion and looking far better than ever. What are those games? I won't spoil the holiday fun! Go sit on Santa's lap, maybe he'll tell you. Santa Claus has a Naughty List of all the children who misbehave; however, it pales in comparison to the RPGrinders weekly 2025 Stinkos. Genocidal mad men are murdering innocent fishermen and trying to start wars. Racist losers are kidnapping and disappearing innocent people off the streets. Government agencies protecting wealthy pedophiles. Government agencies weaponizing our courts against their political enemies. All of those and a country that loves its guns more than its children. Maybe this whole country should be on his Naughty List. With so many reasons to be exhausted, like the holidays and fascism, we all need a release. What better way to bring people together for fun than gaming? This episode is the finale episode of the RPGrinders version of gaming fun, Game Night! After 2 weeks of wrestling entertainment, the Grinders finally determine the winner of our final game of 2025. Will it be Frank's wicked El Chaupacabra? Or maybe Break's grunty Beast? What about Eric's badass Johnny 5 Bigelow? Or could it be one of the chatter's wrestlers who cleaned house and took home the championship belt?? No hints and Santa can't help you this time! With that, the Grinders give a Merry Middle Finger to 2025 and wish nothing but the best to all our friends, family, and listeners. May whichever holiday you celebrate be filled with love and joy. The only thing that kinda sucks about Game Night is that I write a bunch of stuff that never even gets used. It took me a couple hours to write the *redacted* ending but no one will hear its glory! lol Oh well, as long as I am still having fun, I see no real need to complain!
Hey there Grinders. It's a continuation of the most magical time of the year! That's right. Action Movie December!! This week, Phil has rejoined the boys to chat about a little action star named Jean Claude Van Damme. And with Action Movie month, Phil brought 1994’s infamous “Street Fighter.” Will “Street Fighter” hit with the Hadouken, or is it just a weak flame?

Marc "Moose" Malusis doesn't pull any punches in this scathing review of the New York Rangers' current state. Comparing the team to the "boring" late-90s era, Moose slams GM Chris Drury for constructing a lineup top-heavy with AHL-level grinders and "novelty" fourth-liners who can't put the puck in the net. The debate gets nuclear when Malusis discusses the unthinkable: trading Artemi Panarin. With the "cup window" slammed shut and the team looking "lost" under first-year head coach Sullivan, Moose questions if the Rangers are headed for a dumpster fire season. From the failure to score on the power play to the "overpassing" epidemic, this is a raw look at a team that has lost its edge and its identity.

In this episode of The Fabricator Podcast, guest host Nate Bowman (aka Weld Scientist) joins us as we speak with 3M abrasives application engineers Matt King and Kaeleigh Wilkins about the everyday realities of grinding, from why welders depend on it to how newer abrasive technology is improving weld prep and finishing. They also discuss surface-prep tools that remove coatings without damaging the base metal and why shops may want to rethink the abrasives they've used for years. We also touch on the third season of Clash of the Grinders, the student competition that's helping bring new welders into the trade. Nate also talks about his involvement with SparkForce manufacturing camps. This episode was recorded at FABTECH 2025 in Chicago.

Nudevember is coming to an end for this year, Grinders. Thank you for joining us. But Shaun brought in a Wachowski first. First film, that is. Starring Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon and Joe Pantoliano, “Bound” takes us on a noir style gangster heist that some have described a gender swapped “Double Indemnity.” Ryan.

The holiday season is in full swing. The Grinders are ready to stuff their faces for Thanksgiving. The sales and the shopping are just beginning. But, most important of all, this is the last episode of Grinders for Nov 2026! While passing the gravy and making your Christmas list, don't forget to listen to Eric's reviews. So close to the end of the year there aren't many new releases left. However, Dec 8th will see the Steam release of the Y's inspired Angeline Era. For the people who don't mind waiting, February 2026 will see the releases of Norse: Oath of Blood and Y's X: Proud Nordics. Once the food is done, the last thing most people want to do is talk to their family members. So instead of gouging out ears, why not try to relax with a good movie or tv show. The Grinders have some recommendations and some warnings. Are Kpop Demon Hunter or Spin the Bottle going to leave Frank with more indigestion than eating an entire pecan pie? Are Predator Killer of Killers and the Super Mario Bros Movie so bad that they would make Eric prefer to watch football? Are Gen V and Alien Earth filled with enough nudity and gore to make Break enjoy them even more than the sweet potatoes? If the dinner table political fight with the drunk uncle wasn't enough to get one's blood boiling, then maybe these Stinkos will get the heart rate up. Our overly stuffed president continues his war on the American people. Between his appointees, our failure of a Congress, and corrupted judges across the country there is a lot of anger. They embrace NAZIism while rejecting science. Despite their hateful claims, people do not become autistic because of vaccines. Also, they need to stop trying to "fix" autistic people. They are not broken! We can all agree that the stuffing is the best part of the meal. At least, no one can disagree because I have no editor. Just like the stuffing the Sweetos are here to counteract the bitter taste of Stinkos. In the surprise of all surprises the American government is finally releasing the Epstein files. From here, we can only hope it leads to punishment for everyone involved in the abuse and coverup. More than anything, we all should want justice for the victims. With only one segment left, it's time to loosen those pants for dessert. Almost as good as pumpkin pie but not even close to apple pie is the delicious Driver's Seat. Although the Grinders don't talk much about sports the final segment is dedicated to their favorite and most influential athletes. Football players, Olympians, baseball players, and competitors from numerous other sports get the respect they deserve. With so many delicious food options, don't be the guest who brings green bean casserole or fruitcakes. That is a good way to not get invited back. But it's not all bad, anyone kicked out of family events has more free time to listen to RPGrinders! I know I usually use this space for my sarcasm, but now I'm just thinking about Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey light meat. Turkey dark meat, stuffing, rolls, cranberries, mash potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and a variety of pies... And now I have to try not to drool for a week, no promises and no apologies for drooling in my sleep.
Welcome back to Nudevember, Grinders. This week, Kyle brought to us the somehow star-studded-ish 1995 alien invasion (with a twist) movie… Species. It's just one of those movies that if you were born before 1990, you “know” about this movie … Continue reading →

How do you make great coffee on the road? Jonathan talks with Alex LeBlanc, the owner and head roaster at Calibration Coffee Lab, to talk about our recent attempts at this.

Before it was “110 Munson Ave” The site used to be addressed as 1504 E. Front Street in Traverse City. Back then it was part of the old fast food strip east of downtown. At some point in the early 1990s, that section was renumbered/reassigned and the same building became 110 Munson Ave (Munson Ave and E. Front basically merge/split in that corridor). So: same physical spot, two different street numbers over time. The business history, oldest to newest Arthur Treacher's Fish & Chips (late 1970s / very early 1980s) One of the classic British-style fried fish & chips chains. The Traverse City location was listed at 1504 E. Front St., which is the same building that later became 110 Munson Ave. Arthur Treacher's expanded hard in the ‘70s/early ‘80s and then started fading nationally in the mid-'80s. The Traverse City shop was part of that early wave. Burger Square (≈1981–1984) After Arthur Treacher's left, the spot became Burger Square around 1981. Locals describe Burger Square as a slider/burger place, kind of White Castle-ish. It only lasted a few years, into the mid-1980s. Dairy Queen (mid-1980s to early 1990s) After Burger Square, the same building turned into a Dairy Queen. Sources say that Dairy Queen ran there through the late '80s and very early '90s, then closed/relocated. This is also the point where the address shifts: that old DQ at 1504 E. Front is later referred to as 110 Munson Ave. Schlotzsky's Deli (early 1990s) In the early '90s, after Dairy Queen, the building became a Schlotzsky's Deli (the Austin-style sandwich chain). That didn't last super long; by the mid/late '90s it had flipped again. Luigi's Pizzeria & Café (mid/late 1990s into 2000s) Next up was Luigi's Pizzeria & Café, doing pizzas, pasta, sandwiches. Luigi's shows up in business directories at 110 Munson Ave and is tied to the Gutowski family locally. One listing says Luigi's (at that address) dates back to the 2000s and had a handful of employees. A note from the owners suggests this Munson Ave location eventually closed around the late 2000s/very early 2010s. Mancino's Pizza & Grinders (late 1990s / 2000s era overlap) The same family (Valentine “Billy” and Linda Gutowski) also operated Mancino's Pizza & Grinders in Traverse City. Mancino's is described as their independent, mom-and-pop pizza/grinder shops that started in the area in the 1990s and expanded to multiple Traverse City locations. Mancino's is specifically listed at 110 Munson Ave in older directories, and some maps still show “Mancino's Pizza & Grinders” or “Gutowski Restaurants” tied to that address even after it was gone. Over time, the Gutowskis rebranded/relocated the Mancino's/“bread nuggets” operation to other Traverse City spots (Chum's Corner, West Bayshore, etc.), and the Munson Ave shop closed. That'sa Pizza (2010s–2020) After Mancino's/Luigi's, the building housed That'sa Pizza, a long-running Traverse City pizza brand that traces back to 1981. That'sa Pizza ran takeout/delivery from 110 Munson Ave through the 2010s. By early 2021 the Munson Ave location had shut down; That'sa Pizza continues today at other Traverse City locations (Long Lake Rd, Hammond Rd, Acme/Williamsburg), but not at 110 Munson. Jersey Mike's Subs (2021–present) In 2021, a Jersey Mike's Subs franchise moved in. Local business news in February/March 2021 said Jersey Mike's would open in the “former That'sa Pizza space” at 110 Munson Ave, targeting a late-March grand opening. Jersey Mike's is still the current tenant, and their official store listing shows the address as 110 Munson Ave, Traverse City, MI 49686, phone (231) 421-1379, open daily.

Ryan opens up about sneaking online poker sessions as a teen, the “Moneymaker effect,” and how dropping out of college set him on the path to poker stardom. He discusses moving across North America to chase the dream, overcoming challenges growing up gay in a traditional environment, and building community through forums and coaching. You'll hear candid insights into tournament swings—odd jobs, finding stable internet, and bankroll variance. Ryan breaks down the backing model, why coaching became both passion and safety net, and why multiple income streams matter for today's pros. The conversation gets personal: being an openly gay figure in poker, balancing business ventures and mentorship, and future aspirations beyond the felt. We close with goals for the next chapter, inside stories about his bracelet win, and advice for grinders navigating an ever-changing industry.Show Notes 00:00 – Some Early Podcast Reminiscing & Finding Poker 07:52 – Early Bankrolls & Part Time Poker 12:30 – Dropping Out of College & Meeting His Future Husband 17:07 – Black Friday & WSOP #1 22:44 – Five Years of Travel & Coaching 27:50 – Staked Life & Spin n Go's! 35:53 – Ryan's Coaching Style & PLO! 40:12 – Grinding Without a Massive Breakout Year 43:37 – Consulting With Poker Operators 47:47 – Ambassador vs Business Relationships 50:15 – The Big Beautiful Tax Bill & Ryan's Exact ROI Stats! 58:06 – The BRACELET!

The spooky season is finally upon us. Every day another yard is covered in Halloween decorations and the autumn leaves. The fall jackets come out as the temperatures drop, at least they would if Global Warming wasn't real. The calendar tells me its October, but Mother Nature is telling me to keep wearing shorts! Honestly, the weather doesn't matter because the Grinders podcast can be enjoyed anywhere at any time. You can listen to Grinders while trick or treating. Don't worry. We won't blow your cover. Just say the gray hair is a part of the costume. Collecting candy while listening to the latest gaming news, sounds like a happy holiday to me. The holiday will be even better for fans of the Yakuza series who can look forward to some upcoming releases. Fans of Nioh, Code Vein, and The Seven Deadly Sins can look forward to 2026 for new releases, it's only scary if you hate waiting. For the parents who are escorting their children as they beg old people for candy. While you are driving slowly, enjoying your beer, is the perfect time to listen to Stinkos! You could be at home, drinking in peace. Instead, you are just hoping your kid gets some good candy, that you plan on stealing in their sleep. You might need those treats to power through yet another price increase from Microsoft. If a bad economy and corporate greed don't get us, Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi might. Even worse that getting pennies in your bag is the Fed spending our tax dollars to protect dictators while ignoring natural disasters here at home. Even more gross than someone giving out open pieces of candy corn, are the actions of ICE. I know I am making jokes, but they are deadly problem. Cowards who have been emboldened to attack the people they have always dreamed of hurting. Sick fucks. With such horrible Stinkos, we need some Sweetos to light up our ol' hallows night. Almost as good as finding the one neighborhood that gives out full sized candy bars! Or if you are like Frank, a huge pot bud. Unlike MAGA who is very unpleased with Dear Leaders opinions on marijuana. If they weren't already unhappy, announcing Bad Bunny for the Superbowl has made all of MAGA even less happy. Not quite as happy as Break feels for the future of his favorite baseball team. As the night of begging finally ends, the parents can finally have some fun. Put the children to bed, raid their candy bags, put on your sexiest Halloween costume, and listen to an episode of RPGrinders! HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Favorite Sexy outfit? Winnie the Sexy Pooh? Slutty Santa Claus? Handsy Guy on the Bus? Sexy Three Stooges? Popeye the Pussy Eater Man?

And if not "what is the worst movie ever made?"It's September and we've started a two month battle between Dogs and Cats. August went to the dogs, and September is for the cats. To celebrate national cat month we are taking on 5 cat films.This week we've wondered into a bizarre tale of cats, doctors, married couples and corpse grinders. Yup. We are watching a film called "The Corpse Grinders". But how are cats involved? Well you should give the show a listen and find out. Music by Karl Casey @whitebataudio on Instagram and YouTube.You can find us on Instagram @justanothermovienight and @thecraftymisfitNew episode every Tuesday.Thanks for listening! We appreciate you.

The RPGrinders are back for the second week using a new platform. So, we humbly beg forgiveness for all of the new problems that have overlapped the old ones. At the very least, we ask that you blame Frank for all audio issues. Eric and Break take no accountability for issues here in. :p Issues be damned, the Grinders have a show to do! There is JRPG news that must be brought to the listeners attention and most of the Grinders are here to spread the word. Without the voices of the Grinders people would have to read for themselves about some of the upcoming releases. Games like Ys Vs Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga and a physical copy of Metal Slug Tactics are releasing this year. Looking towards the horizon that is 2026 will see the releases of Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave and Monster Hunters Stories 3. The format may be new but that doesn't mean everything needs to change. The movie reviews are back, and one of them is an 80s classic. Break goes back nearly 40 years to review the Sigourney Weaver starring classic, Aliens. Along with the classic action title Frank has some new movie reviews. Will Dangerous Animals, the Toxic Avenger, or Voyeurs be considered classics in the 2060s? Only time will tell. (I am highly disappointed in myself for using that joke.) Will we even have a country in 2060? The reality in America is increasingly looking grim. This week's Stinkos are headlined by the murder of a political firebrand who was known for spreading lies and bigotry. One political party seems to be using this murder as their excuse to justify some of the horrible plans they foreshadowed in Project 2025. These were always going to be the plans. They were just looking for the excuses. They thought they had found the perfect excuse this time, but the reality wasn't what they wanted. When reality doesn't fit their narrative, they rewrite the narrative. The RPGrinders do not justify murder, even if the victim did. A little bit of a shortened show but the Grinders don't want to end on such a sad note. Instead, they end with the Sweetos! Among those is the return of Frank and Break's favorite sport, American Football. The NFL is back and starting with a bang. It's a needed mental distraction from the world falling apart around us. We all need mental stress breaks, just don't let them distract from what is truly important. As things are seemingly getting more tense by the day, the future of this country looks bleak. Is it destined to fall like the many empires that have come before? Will this be the country that starts the spark that begins WW3? Is Break being paranoid and delusional, or is America still fighting a civil war against the legacy of the Confederacy? I must find Harmie. His sweet melodies will help us get through these trying times! I wanted to call the episode "White on White Violence" but I think that might get me in trouble.

The Grinders are back. WOOH! And we are ready to celebrate, brother. What ya gonna do when RPGrindermania runs wild on you?! The same ol' Grinders but now with more headbutts, low blows, and eye pokes than any Face could handle. WOOH! In a surprising Face turn Break actually shows up on time to join Eric and Frank for a 3-Vs-News Hardcore Match. The Grinders challengers? The dreaded News is back. The News brought with it the announcement that the Dragon Quest soundtracks are coming to Apple Music. The next member of the News is a release date for Nicktoons and the Dice of Destiny. In a shocking Heel turn, Fate/Extra Record joins the News with a delay until next year. After pinning the news for a 3 count, the Grinders moved on to their next matches against the Reviews. With skill and mastery of the top rope, Eric is able to dominate the spoiler free review of the Fantastic 4: First Steps. Meanwhile, Frank used his signature Sharpshooter to make the Dog Soldiers tap-out. In the squared circle, no werewolves are a match for professional wrasslers. Werewolves can't SMEEEEEELLLLL what Frank is cooking. The next match for the Grinders is against their greatest rival, the Stinkoes. It's a heated rivalry. Every fight ends in injuries or worse. Some former Grinders have never been heard from since. With the death of a music legend, the loss of an entire television network, and the funding cuts to the REAL news media, the Stinkoes are looking increasingly unbeatable. But if the Grinders want to be the man, they will have to beat the man. The Stinkoes are the man. The Stinkoes are tough, but the Grinders have their own tag partners to help them even the score. The Sweetoes are back and they will always have the Grinder's backs. No Ladder Match is a match for the return of a favorite tv show or the death of a man who tainted wrestling for decades. Apparently, he didn't say his prayers or eat his vegetables. With only one opponent left, the Grinders face off against their greatest challenge, the Panic Room. The only thing standing between the Grinders and shiny new belts. The ultimate slobberknocker, between 1st Amendment rights or going to jail. Can the Grinders triumph and hoist the gold they will soon wear around their waists? Or will the Grinders just have to get ready to suck it? One thing is for sure; everyone just made it onto Eric's List. WOOH! And that's the bottom line because BreakMan says so!

The Grinders are back and just in time for Pride month. What's that you say? "But Pride month is over." Well, bitch, it's ALWAYS Pride month for the LGBTQ+ community! As proud as I am to finally start stepping out into the larger community, I'm also proud to host a show with two of best Podcasters to put on a mic. Another thing that fills me with Pride is always showing up just in time to miss the news. Except this episode, in which I was forced to read every news story! The grueling agony. The minutes of my life I will never get back. I can't believe that they forced me to read both stories! I may have my Pride but we all have our Stinkos. Some of the worst horrors of the week, from mundane to catastrophic. Unfortunately, our country is in total decline. In less than 6 months, Trump and the corrupt justices have turned America into a fascist nation. As we watch human rights be trampled, we must all hold strong to whatever gives us Pride. As things get worse, we can't let kill what makes us strong. Even though most of us are watching our rights disappear. One group seems to be getting more laws created in their favor, the gun lobby. That's right, the Grinders once again address the issue of gun violence in the United States. Not speaking for anyone else but I have no Pride in our cultural love of guns. We never want to end the show on a sour note. So, the Grinders have not one, but two brand-new Driver's Seats! Both DSs are based around getting older. How do the Grinders feel about Birthday parties and going gray? The Pride of the middle aged as we head towards just being old. They can take away everything, but they can never change what is in our hearts. We must hold on tight to our Pride and our beliefs in right and wrong. There is no question that this country has gone very wrong. Don't let the country or the villains corrupt or sway you away from what is right. Like listening to RPGrinders, that is always the right thing to do. Fuck Trump and fuck that "Big beautiful fuck you" to the American people. The quote on something I was given while marching in the Cincinnati Pride Parade: "That once again you are on the frontlines of hate is just so unfair and so wrong. Sorry. Still, you've been here before. They've picked the wrong scapegoat. Your strength will see us through. Keep being you. You are loved. Hugs!"
Welcome to the London History Podcast. In this episode, we journey through the cobbled streets of Victorian London, where the sound of barrel organs and the chatter of Italian voices once filled the air. Join Hazel Baker as she uncovers the remarkable story of Little Italy—a vibrant immigrant enclave in Clerkenwell, shaped by migration, resilience, and transformation. We'll walk the lanes immortalised by Dickens, meet the artisans and street musicians who brought the city to life, and explore how their music became the soundtrack of London's streets. From the crowded workshops of Eyre Street Hill to the legal battles over street music, this is a tale of hope, hardship, and the indelible mark left by London's Italian community. Tune in for Episode 134: Organ Grinders of Little Italy For all other episodes visit London Guided Walks
