On this week's show, Joe sits down with Glen P. Norman Jr. to dive deep into his book, S.W.A.G. – The Long Walk In My Shoes. Glen opened up about the emotional journey that inspired the memoir—losing his mother at just 12 years old, navigating hardship, and finding strength through faith, discipline, and purpose. We explored how each chapter reflects a different phase of his growth, and how his story is a message to anyone who’s ever felt stuck or broken. We also got into Glen’s amateur MMA journey. Where he currently holds a 2–1 record. He broke down both of his dominant TKO victories, including a second-round finish over Titus Young. Glen also shared the story behind his only loss, which came by stoppage due to a glove cutting his eye, not a knockout or submission. It was a freak accident, not a defeat of skill. Glen dedicates his life to transforming others physically and mentally as a personal trainer. In this conversation, we talk about his powerful message for men's mental health, how he helps people reclaim their strength through fitness, and the meaning behind his clothing brand S.W.A.G. A name that’s more than style, it’s a mindset.

This week joe sat down with rising pro wrestling star Rika Wildlee, also known as “The Barker of the Bizarre.” He shared how his dream of becoming a professional wrestler started at just 8 years old — and how he’s spent the last four years grinding to make that dream a reality.

Rika opened up about his recent success in the ring, including becoming the SWF Heavyweight Champion and one-half of the RWE Tag Team Champions alongside Athan Sorrow . He also gave us a look into his signature finishing moves, how different wrestlers bring different techniques to the ring, and what it was like performing at the legendary ICP Gathering of the Juggalos. From small-town beginnings to championship gold, this episode captures the raw grit, passion, and personality behind one of Louisiana’s highly entertaining rising stars.
