The Dodgeball Podcast

In this episode, I am joined by Billy Schmitt (Anarchy), Matt Levine (Shred), Kyle Roth (Bulls,) and Justin Bosch (Goat) to recap the hypothetical 2020 East Region. In addition to updates on teams, hearsay, gossip, and input from our live stream, we conclude the 4 teams that would have potentially made it to Nationals. Enjoy!

In this season's final installment of the "International Series" host Sergio Leon interviews Hannah Catterall from the Black Widows. Based in Armagh Northern Ireland, the parallels in her Dodgeball story align with those of many here in the states. With a lot of laughs, a few rabbit holes, and a lesson on equestrian life, this was a great way to end the season. Enjoy!

In this episode, I am joined by Co-Host Justin Bosch and panelists Andrew Ketchum (Crysis) and Nick Factoran (Los Angeles Dodgeball Club) to get their take on who the top 6 teams of the West Region would have made our hypothetical 2020 Nationals. A lot of great updates, predictions, and back and forth went into this episode, so tune in to see if we were close! Also, the first episode with full vid...

In this 2020 Hypothetical Recap, I am joined by Co-Host Justin Bosch, Myles Garner (Kaiju) and newcomer Wes Peters (Notorious). After an as educated recap of roster changes, and team updates, we dive head first into which 4 teams would move on (hypothetically) to the 2020 Nationals. Huge thank you to those that joined us via the live stream! Enjoy!

In my final interview of Season 4, I sit down with long time friend, Tina Aramburu and discuss how she got into Dodgeball, what's kept her going, and walk through her progress over the last year. From taking control of her mindset to dropping an incredible 70lbs, to reclaiming her competitive drive, this was by far one of my most favorite interviews. Enjoy!

In the first panel discussion hosted by Justin Bosch and I, we are joined by Von Kelly (Outsiders) and Joseph Chincarini (Wrecking Balls) to discuss and hypothesize on what could have been the South Regional season from the 2020 USA Dodgeball Premiere Series. While this is 100% speculation and just for fun, it was awesome catching up with the South again. Enjoy!

In this episode, I sit down with Brandon Cook, one of the three Reignbros now added to the Rise of Brutality roster. Brandon's history of Dodgeball begins with the Oregon State University Dodgeball Club, then into the Beaver Damnation NDL team (of which I played for two years), and finally transitioning into Elite Dodgeball as the West region opened up to several new PNW teams and players. Had a l...

2020 took a lot from us, to include the "Season that Never Was." With Premiere League looking to pick up from the momentum Elite Dodgeball created, to new team mergers, and increased teams across all regions, 2020 was looking very promising until the pandemic shut it all down. That doesn't mean Justin and I can't speculate on what could have been with some of our favorite panelists and participant...

In this interview, I am joined by Kyle Warren (Misfits), and Scott Bronson (formerly of Outsiders), two best friends that grew up together and played Dodgeball almost as long as I have it. It was great reminiscing with them both. Enjoy!

In Part 2 of this episode, I get to resume my interview turned the conversation with Edgar Fox (Goat)as we go down even more Rabbit Holes, off more tangents, and sometimes come back to Dodgeball. Enjoy!

In this episode, Justin Bosch hosts former Reignbros Allyn Thomas, and Shawn Anderson. The trio discuss the evolution of the Reignbros, strategy, and how the team performed from 2016-2019. They then discuss the merger with the historic and legendary Rise of Brutality, what went into the move, and speculation on how they will do once we're all playing Dodgeball again. Enjoy!

In this episode of the International Series, host Sergio Leon interviews Kirby Ng, a student of Welsh University, and dual citizen of Great Britain and Malaysia. Covering his Dodgeball beginnings, representing GB for the World Dodge Ball Federation Championships in Cancun 2019, and playing in Malaysia, this episode provides more insight into the international competitive Dodgeball scene. Enjoy!

In this episode, Edgar Fox (Goat) returns but not as a panelist, and not as a member of a team interview (2018), but as a much anticipated one on one. Sorry, not sorry for the rabbit holes we went under. Enjoy Part 1 and stay tuned for Part 2!

In this episode, "Drew and Crew" discuss potential breakout Dodgeball players, early candidates for Team USA, and who they believe are some of the best teams going into 2021. Switching to other sports, the crew discuss their "pickems" for this week's NFL games, discussion about the benching of Ryan Fitzpatrick, and picks for this weekend's MMA fight card. Enjoy!

In this episode, Deanna Darnes returns to the DBPC for a more in-depth conversation and interview. From Genetics to Battlestar Galactica, this is immediately one of my favorites, and much needed after a very long week. Enjoy!

In this recap, I am joined once again by Kyle Roth (Bulls), and Edgar Fox (Fox), to discuss what went down the weekend of October 17th. Many names were mentioned in the Precap, but did they shine? Have they successfully navigated through COVID and made it back to the court? Tune in to find out. Enjoy!

In this week's episode of "Drew and Crew," we catch up with friends all over the East coast by welcoming Justin Bosch, and Jordan Perkowski to the show.

We also recap the previous weeks of NFL football, and cover our picks for this coming week. Last, we briefl...

In this episode, I finally get a chance to sit down and talk to Shelby Grimness, from LA. In this conversation, we cover her Dodgeball beginnings, how her drive, love, and passion landed her a job she loved, and what the future holds for her. Enjoy!

This Saturday, October 17th, 2020, Kyle Roth (Bulls), will be hosting a closed-off, mini-tournament featuring 6 teams of 5 players each. From names like Billy Schmidt to Tim Bethard, this is a much welcome chance for select players on the East Coast to see where their skills lay in a COVID world. Best of luck to all that participate and we're already looking forward to the recap!

In this episode, I get to converse and learn more about Kris Dejesus, also known as "Klutch Kris" by many. Although known for meme sharing to insane double catches from my perspective, there is so much more to Kris than meets the internet eye. Interviews like these are exactly why I love to do them. Enjoy!

In this episode, I am joined with Rob "Hometown" Immel of New York Empire to share a beer and some quick memories of the late Patrick Cushing, who unfortunately passed away October 6th, 2018. The beer, "Echoes in Eternity" was the 98th batch from a nearby brewery that was brewed in his memory and I was honored to have one. Enjoy, and please take a moment to let the ones you love know you love them...
