Joe is only interested in hearing a good story. The problem is, Joe is highly unqualified. With zero journalistic credentials and a naive optimism, Joe is perpetually out of his depth. But there’s a charm to it all. Driven by a genuine, relentless curiosity, he fumbles his way through these raw encounters and reflects on the madness back in the studio, relying entirely on his own pure inquisitive, nature and the extreme patience of his guests.

by the name Dominick Skinner (not his real name). After an online Twitter spat with the

Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, he launched a database exposing the

identities of ICE agents in the USA.

Since then the operation has grown, with hundreds of volunteers running a ship that's fueled by

whistleblowers and data-leaks. Joe talks to Dominick about how it all started, what he hopes

to achieve, and how he went from being a homeless teenager to being a thorn in the side of

the biggest super-power in the world, with new laws being proposed based on his actions

and the threat of financial sanctions looming over him. (Explicit)

Formerly an MMA fighter with Bellator and Cage Warriors, John Redmond is now competing in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC). This episode skips the standard sports chat for a blunt look at the brutal realities of fighting for a living. Redmond quotes surprising data showing that fighting without gloves actually results in lower concussion rates than traditional boxing. 

He also opens up about the dark side of retirement after sport, discussing his personal battles with severe post-career depression before finding a new purpose. From stepping up to a world-champion fight on a day’s notice, to the commercial explosion of the sport under controversial BKFC co-owner Conor McGregor, John tells it all with raw honesty.
