The Dodgeball Podcast

In this special pilot episode of the upcoming "Drew and Crew Podcast" hosted by the DBPC, brothers Drew Giovinco, Matt Giovinco, and Tyler Tripple (Team Awesome) talk about Dodgeball, thoughts on retirement, the difference between a competitive and fun mindset and shared experiences during their Dodgeball careers. They also cover this coming week’s UFC fight picks, bets and fantasy football predic...

2020 has been a very trying year for virtually all of us. From financial setbacks to emotional ones and everything in between. Yes, this was not the year we planned for, but as the saying goes, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Or in Allan Stott's case (Havoc), turn them into gains, motivation, and pursuit of the things you've been apprehensive to do. Enjoy!

In this episode, Co-Host Justin Bosch (Goat)interviews Nate Kreiter, Captain of Team USA Mens, and Andrew Ketchum (Crysis) to capture their insight on the 2019 Team USA Gold Medal Run. They also provide advice and feedback as regarding what they look for in those that aspire to become a part of 2021 Team USA. Enjoy!

Our next episode in the International series takes us to Ravenna, Italy, home of the Ravenna Diablos and Kristjano Prifti. Guest hosted by Sergio Leon, this episode is a great glimpse into the upstart Dodgeball scene in Ravenna and really shows how much we Dodgeball players all have in common. Enjoy!

In 2019, I got to meet the #HOTY2019 winner Jeremy Bizzle. I had heard about him, I had seen his deeds, and I had also awarded him the title...what I didn't know was that after meeting him, I would be hoping to have him on the podcast. Stricken with humility, and further being cemented as a model of what we wish to see within the community, Jeremy Bizzle continues to remain a Dodgeball household n...

In this minisode, Justin Bosch (Goat), Jenny Hodge (Royale) and myself discuss the lessons learned from the 2020 Inaugural Birthday Clash that took place on Wednesday, August 19th. We had a lot of fun with it, and the feedback was very well received. We briefly speak on how we will improve next year, and elude to our next "hypothetical" tournament: the USA Dodgeball Premier Championships. Enjoy!

For those that just want to skip ahead and hear the Q&A section of the "Evening with Tony Stumpo," here it is just for you! Great idea Hunter Ford! :)

At long last, the highly anticipated "Evening with Tony Stumpo" is finally here. We laughed. We cried, we went all over the place. Enjoy!

In this episode, Justin Bosch (Goat), Jenny Hodge (Royale), and myself take the results of the survey, the randomly generated brackets, and conduct a mock recap of the 2020 Innaugural Birthday Clash Tournament (Womens). This was a great chance to talk about Dodgeball, fantasize about teams we are not likely to see on the courts, and with the inclusion of live stream recording, a great way to get r...

In Sergio's third interview, we get to meet Greg Whitehouse from the U.K. and widely known for his Dodgeball commentating. While this was scheduled for release on the week of August 7th, due to technical difficulties, Greg was a good enough sport to re-record the crowdsourced questions for this week's episode. Enjoy!

In this mini-sode, Justin Bosch and I discuss where we're at with the Birthday Bash bracket and how we're going to move forward. We didn't have Jenny, due to her being sick, so we had to make do. A quick one this time around, so enjoy!

Unfortunately, Sergio Leon's interview with Anthony Aldred (Scotland) was missing arguably the best part: the crowdsourced questions due to some technical difficulties in sound and lag. Fortunately, both Sergio and Anthony were solid enough sports to re-record that segment. Enjoy!

In this actual "mini-sode" I hope on with Justin Bosch and Jenny Hodge to discuss how we're going to kick off the inaugural Dodgeball "Birthday Bash" in which we discuss which birthday month boasts the best players. All in good fun, of course. Enjoy!

In Sergio Leon's second interview of the International Series, we journey to Aberdeen Scotland, to learn more about Anthony Aldred. From his Dodgeball experiences across the pond, to his insane jersey "kit" collection, and beard grooming tips, we hope you enjoy this interview!

Prompted from a Facebook thread by Demonate Cleveland on what we were looking forward to the most this year, both he, Justin Bosch, and I discuss what we miss most about Dodgeball not happening this year. This thread turned conversation will hopefully pave the way for a "what if" recap series. Enjoy!

In this episode, Sergio Leon takes us across the pond to interview Amie Jones, of Great Britain Dodgeball. This is the first episode of a new series within DBPC hosted by Sergio as he helps us better understand the International Dodgeball scene. Enjoy!

In this episode, I help Sergio Leon kick off our international series by interview Regina Genoveva Badillo Vega (also known as Gii Gii Ba Ve) from Mexico City! We discuss her new Dodgeball career, her experience with the WDBF in Cancun last year, and her involvement with Federacion Mexicana de Dodge Ball (FMDB) and Team Mexico. Amazing!

In this episode, I interview Carly Hyche or (Kala Marie as she's known on Social Media)and chronicle her journey from recreational league player to competing at the highest national level during the 2019 Elite Dodgeball Nationals. It was great catching up with another fellow Arizonan, so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!

In this episode I return from my little military induced hiatus to interview Austin Deeks, father of the Dad Jokes, and great guy from New Orleans. This interview (despite the audio being slightly off) was exactly what was needed to help me get amped for the second half of a very taxing 2020. Enjoy!

Back in December of 2019, Lu Cas Boyle hosted an International Coaches Panel FT Nico Seneviratne (Team Australia) and Victor Gravili (Team Canada) to discuss their 2019 WDBF experience in Cancun. Spanning team selection, team building and coaching the world's best, this episode paved the way for guest hosts, and future coaches panel episodes. Enjoy!

In this episode, Justin Bosch interviews Connor Lyou of Heat and Dope. Hailing from the west coast and although being part of the Dodgeball scene for a few years now, he has quickly ascended into one of Dodgeball's biggest threats. With moves, speed, and accuracy you could only hope to see at the highest level, Connor is by far one of the more entertaining players to watch and play against. Enjoy!

Austin Deeks (Cat 5) helps Steve Damon shake off the cobwebs of podcasting in wishing everyone a Happy Father's Day! Enjoy!

On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police officers, adding yet one more unjustified killing to the countless African American Men, Women, and Children that have died unjustly. The incident incited mass protests, fiery debates and division across the nation. It has no doubt reached the Dodgeball community, giving pause for the Dodgeball Podcast to talk to Vince and Leila Marc...

The one that started it all...in this episode, I sit down with Drew Giovinco of Team Awesome (and The Dodgeball Podcast's first guest) and briefly cover his Dodgeball experience. An OG from the East, Drew has experienced Dodgeball from all levels to include, Rec League, the NDL days, Elite, UDC and even Dodgeball on the World Stage multiple times. With such a highly decorated career, its no wonder...
