Fun guest today as one of the greatest American wrestlers of all time joins the show: 3x NCAA Champ (4x Finalist) and 3x World Champ, Lee Kemp!  Lee has not only had an interesting career, but such an interesting life.  Adopted at a young age, Lee found wrestling to be his saving grace.  Although he didn't start wrestling until a later age than most, Lee quickly became one of the greatest American wrestlers of all time.  He even beat the legendary Dan Gable at just 18 years old. Though achieving the highest of highs, Lee also had to usher in the lowest of lows as the adversity didn't stop coming. From the death of his father and an Olympic boycott costing him a shot at his dream to even ending up in a jail cell, Lee has had so many life lessons and it's great to learn from how he overcame and persevered. Be sure to also check out Lee's documentary "Wrestled Away: The Lee Kemp Story" and his book "Winning Gold" available at LeeKemp.com! This show is brought to you by ATAC!

We had fun on the last preview show so thought why not run it back for the CKLV this weekend!

Corby and I preview the CKLV weight-by-weight and also touch on the Suriano to Michigan news, the UWW Rankings money that went out, and some other stuff.

What a show! Easily my top choice for show of the year as our guy Cenzo is back on for some Coffee Talk and 3x NCAA Champ Jason Nolf joins us a week ahead of some matches in Russia.



We talk everything from Nolf’s upcoming competitions and Jason & Cenzo’s Penn State days to the importance of gratitude & we even do a Thanksgiving Day snake draft.  If you don’t know what that is, don’t worry, we explain, and we have some fun!



Truly hope you all enjoy this episode and have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We’re thankful for all of you who listen and support this show! Also, why does Jason Nolf have Vincenzo Joseph blocked? Find out in episode 144 of BASCHAMANIA!

He's back! We had so much fun a few weeks ago, Rokfin CEO & Founder Martin Floreani is back on the show with us to dive deeper into the Collegiate Duals.  The Collegiate Duals, which feature 12 teams - 7 of the top-10 in the country - competing in the National Duals style tournament, will be hosted on Rokfin's platform. Uniquely, the teams will receive a portion of the value they bring to the event. Martin touched on this briefly on the last episode when he joined us, but we thought this was worth diving deeper into. This was a great time talking about the behind the scenes and mechanics of this tournament and what it means for wrestling. We hope you enjoy!

Great to catch up with former NLWC coach and current Arizona State University Volunteer Assistant Coach Eric Thompson as he joins Cenzo and I for some Coffee Talk.  We spent the hour chatting about his recent move to Arizona, the upcoming season, what was hard about leaving State College, what he's excited for the most, the PSU/ASU differences, and much more.  This episode is a little all over the place, but we had a good time and hope you enjoy it!

He co-founded FloWrestling and recently founded Rokfin.  Arguably nobody has had a better impact in wrestling over the last 20 years than Martin Floreani. Today, he joins Cenzo and JB on BASCHAMANIA to talk about his time launching Flo, the differences between Flo and Rokfin, what's next for Rokfin, the importance of Crypto being tied into his current project, and so much more.

One of the most knowledgeable guys in wrestling wanted to do a Super 32 preview show today and I couldn’t say no!  Though I don’t really follow high school wrestling, Corby follows it about as closely as you can, and it was fun having him give his picks as we go through the action weight by weight. We also talk about the college commitments and connections for many of this weekend's competitors. A must-listen for all wrestling fans!
