    My HoneyDew this week is comedian Greg Warren! Check out his latest special The Champ, produced by Nate Bargatze and streaming on Nateland’s YouTube channel! Greg joins me to Highlight the Lowlights of his time wrestling! From high school state championships where his father coached him, to a year at West Point, and eventually ending up at the University of Missouri where he would earn an All American title. Greg opens up about some of the darker side effects that wrestling has left him with, like an unhealthy relationship with food and eventually what would be diagnosed as scrupulosity OCD. Plus Ryan shares his own stories of getting to practice in school under legendary sports brothers Solomon and Nate Carr.

    My HoneyDew this week is former professional skater and motivational speaker, Brandon Novak! Check out his website BrandonNovak.com to learn more about how he can help if you are struggling with addiction, and pick up any of his published pieces of work to hear more about his story. Brandon joins me this week to Highlight the Lowlights of being a Baltimore boy, having a nuclear physicist for a mother and a Hells Angel for a dad, how he found skating as a teen, and his journey in and out of addiction. Brandon and I share our love of Baltimore, knowing the same places like Sports Elite, where he would meet other skate legend Bucky Larson. We dive into how Brandon’s addiction progressed, the wildest places it would take him, having Bam Margera helped him and how he eventually turned it around to owning 7 sober living facilities where he helps others find their path to a clean life today.
