We’ll Take it From Here with Joe

Today, we celebrate the United States of America! Happy 250th birthday to the best country in the world! We recorded this on the July 4th weekend however; you are hearing it on July 9th. Does not matter; what matters is that we celebrate the best of this country. Too many Americans are trying to find the faults of the USA with NO intention of fixing anything. Today, we talk about why it is the bes...

Today, we are joined by two-time Judo Olympian, Colton Brown, who shares his story of dedication, hard work, and success. Colton started Judo at 7-years old, and despite his disinterest in the sport originally, Colton learned from his losses to become one of the best in the country. Colton is a two-time Olympian who competed in the Rio and Tokyo Olympics (2016 & 2021, respectively) and was a t...

We welcome back Andy Main and Melvis Figueroa. By now you have all heard about Pure MMA from this show; well today, we are joined by one of its founders, Andy Main, and one of the head Muay Thai instructors, Melvis Figueroa. Both have been on the show before (Andy at episode 49 & and Mel at episode 205), however we figured it would be neat to have them both on to share some stories of their ti...

It is not often that someone is willing to share their struggles, however today we were joined by that person, Justin Behre. Justin grew up as an angry kid, which stemmed from his upbringing. Justin's father did the best he could to provide for the family in the Navy, while his mother's alcoholism stopped her from helping in the day-to-day tasks. Justin turned to the thrill of pyromania an...

This week we bring another duo in which Joe goes on a bit of a rant to start the show, and then we go through the top 10 Mandela Effect. The Mandela Effect is when a group of people share the incorrect memory of how they saw or heard something (this is not the official definition). Let us know which ones surprised you!

We are back with Al Cuccinello for a third time and ironically recorded a year after he came on for the second time. We discuss modern politics, what aliens really are, the moon landing (or non-landing), our views of God and which sect is "right", and more. This is a deep conversation so let us know your thoughts.

Today, we have another duo even though we are joined by Timmy's Dog, Mae! Mae was a good girl the entire episode and enjoyed the conversation. We discuss Joe's recent experience at a bar in which the bartender seemed to lack any interest in his job. This sparks the discussion of why society is lacking any sort of pride in its work. It is one thing to learn and grow within your career or pr...

We changed it up this week and decided to play guess who. We pick a person for the other to guess. One person was pretty good while the other suddenly forgot every name imaginable.

This week we are joined by our friend, Mike Muccione or as he is better known, “Metal Mike”.  While most of us know Metal Mike from his preference in death metal while coaching Muay Thai, few know his journey of how he became the man he is today.  Mike’s story includes losing both of his parents, overcoming depression, cutting 120 pounds, his experience as an entrepreneur, and going all in on his...

We take a brief pause from the guest segments and talk about the scientists who have either gone missing or been killed in the past few years. Since Timmy is an engineer, I ask him about his view on the Advanced Propulsion systems that the government has been working on. These are our opinions and you should do your own research.

We welcome back two of our friends, who bring nothing but great vibes both inside and outside the Octagon. Alex Rios and Brandon Bernard were on episode 141 (be sure to listen to that if you have not already), however today they return as professional MMA fighters. We had a great conversation about life over the past year and a half. We hear stories about a wild encounter with a pant-lass crackhea...

We are joined by Dr. Gus and Andy Segovia, who do not need any introductions at this point. This was a fun one because we have Andy, who is currently in law enforcement, and Dr. Gus, a forensic psychologist, picking each other's minds on diverse topics. Topics include serial killers/criminal mindsets, Christianity and Jesus, conspiracies, and more. If you have listened to these two in past epi...

We had a great conversation with Frank Patierno. Frank is a friend from Pure MMA, who has an incredible story about how faith in God and you will propel you forward in life. Frank is the oldest of four boys, who had his life turned upside down early on, when his parents divorced. Naturally, Frank started going down the wrong path. Fortunately, Frank used competitive swimming as a way to drown out...

We welcome back to the show our friend Billy Van Dyke. Since his prior appearances on episodes 123 & 151, Billy has moved to Austin, Texas, founded Elevation Strength and Conditioning, and made his Pro MMA debut for which he holds a 2-0 record. We talk about his most recent CFFC victory in Atlantic City, his new business, and life in general. We focus on the qualities and traits that Billy see...

We welcome our friend Joe Campisi aka "Benny Tutto" to the show. Joe Campisi is a BJJ Black Belt with 20 years of experience and one of the head instructors at Pure MMA. If you train at Pure, you know that Joe is extremely disciplined and a student of the game, however he was not always this way. After his father's passing at 12-years old, Joe went down a tough path, which saw him an...

First off, we had some technical difficulties with the software, which caused us to lose a major portion of the video. We found this out after finishing the show. We have fixed the issue and will ensure it does not happen again. This week, we discuss our thoughts on how/why people dig themselves into their stances and are unwilling to change them. Obviously, we are not saying to automatically chan...

*Explicit Content* We welcome back Billy Liamero to give some updates on the past half year of his life. Billy loves his life and is living it to the fullest. There is nothing we can write that will explain the show, so you will have to listen for yourself.

We welcome back Andy Segovia for a third time and as usual have a deep conversation. To learn more about Andy, listen to episodes 114 & 150. We start out talking about MMA and Andy's thoughts on having another professional fight. We transition over to modern social/political issues, where we focus on being informed but not consumed in the drama. Andy shares how Jesus and his faith have imp...

We had to pivot due to a last-minute rescheduling of a guest. It so happened that the whole situation with Iran popped off the morning of this recording. We explicitly stated that by the time that this airs, the situation could be drastically different, which is why we do not critique the situation outside of our initial opinions (the Iranian leader was reported dead immediately after we hit the s...

We have added two new cameras to the studio for an enhanced product and decided to have a duo show to ensure everything runs smoothly. Timmy has always claimed that he could be "teetering on the Tism (autism), so we take a quiz from Psychology Today to verify if he is correct. Obviously, this is not a diagnosis and nor should be taken as serious. Enjoy Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Suppl...

This week we touch on the Epstein saga with a theory that was taken from Andy Frisella from the RealAF podcast (Andy has been saying this for a year but recently said it on episodes 999 and 1000). We want to give credit where credit is due. To be clear, this is a possibility of what COULD be going on. If this theory is wrong, then we go back to square one. As a reminder, the only sides in this are...

We welcome Scott Dorey back to the show. For an introduction to who Scott is we recommend listening to Scott's first episode, which is 102. We catch up with Scott, as a lot has changed in his life within the last two years. We talk BJJ, parenting (from Scott's perspective), learn some more wild stories from Scott's past, and his philosophy of being present in the moment. Enjoy. Episode...

Dr. Gus joins us for the fifth time on the show, and once again we have an intriguing conversation. If you have not already listened/watched Dr. Gus's previous episodes, go do so now (ep. 10, 18, 71, & 210). This week, we talk about how to spot a government Psyop, and how this relates to our current socio-economic climate (2020, immigration, politics, etc.). Come with an open mind. Episode...

What's up guys? We had to reschedule our episode with Dr. Gus from episode 210 (watch/listen if you haven't already), so we bring you another duo show. I (Joe) had a nice conversation with my Mom about finding true happiness within before searching for it outside. We build on this and give our takes on how we reset our minds when in the midst of life; essentially finding a mini vacation to...

We bring you guys a duo episode this week and talk about current events, specifically ICE. We give our opinions on the matter, and we also address the fact that the country is being divided, ONCE AGAIN. Both sides are being pitted against each other, and the powers at be are running the same playbook as the past. It's okay to have an opinion but the outrage and divide is by design. Keep that i...
