We’ll Take it From Here with Joe

We welcome to the show our friend from Pure MMA, James Fox. James is loved in the community due to his respectful and kind-hearted demeanor. However, he became this way from his past experiences as someone who went against the grain. In this episode, James shares stories about his career as a paramedic, how he became a cast member for New York Ink (a tattoo spin-off of Miami Ink), and his start in...

We welcome back to the show Dr. Gus Mouhtis. Dr. Gus has joined us as a guest in episodes' 10, 18, and 71; so, be sure to check those episodes out, as well. As a former forensic psychologist, contracted to work with the federal government, Dr. Gus has worked on ample cases involving all kinds of criminals. Dr. Gus expands on the psychology behind why these people became criminals and what they...

Happy New Year guys! We have a great episode this week and a banger to kick off the new year. We welcome Sam Messina to the show. We met Sam at Pure MMA and invited him to share his incredible life story. Sam takes us back to his early days as a Heroin addict. Whether it was selling his flat screen TV or having a gun pointed toward his face, Sam found any means possible to chase that high. However...

Merry Christmas everyone! We wish you all an amazing Christmas Day and weekend with loved ones. We bring to you a Christmas special. We reminisce on past Christmas days, our favorite thing about Christmas, favorite gifts, and the best movies. That being said, Die Hard is NOT a Christmas movie. Enjoy.

We break up the stream of guests with a duo episode. Don't worry we have more guests to come and like you, can't wait to hear their stories. This week we reflect on our takeaways from the 2025 guests. The theme is common amongst all; no matter what you are going through, you will be the one to make it better. If you want to improve, it's through you. We appreciate your unwavering suppo...

We have a treat for you, especially for any aspiring or current Entrepreneurs, as we sat down with Dr. Matthew Cifelli of Attain Physical Therapy.  Matt’s entrepreneurial journey began at the age of 12, when he started selling Spice Girls lollipops in the middle school hallways.  Fast forward 24 years and Matt is running one of the fastest growing private, Physical Therapy practices in the country...

This week we sat down with one of the OG Striking coaches of Pure MMA, Melvis "Mel" Figueroa. We learned about Mel's personal life from his time living in Puerto Rico, to present day as a father, husband, and MMA coach. At 12 years old, Mel experienced his parents splitting up, being a father figure to his younger brother, and fighting the local kids who tried bullying him. At 27, Me...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  We hope you enjoy the holiday with family and/or friends.  We are grateful for your continued support and hope today you take some time to express some gratitude for the positive areas in your life.  We welcome Phil McEntee back to the show for the fifth time.  Phil does not need an introduction, and we suggest listening to his other episodes if you have not alread...

We welcome back retired Sgt. Alfred Brenner IV "Al" to the show. If you have not already, we recommend listening to episode 152 before this one. Previously, Al shared an incredible, tear-jerking story as a Marine Corps. K9 Handler in Afghanistan alongside his best friend, Grief. This week's conversation is more light-hearted. We focus on Al's continued mission of spreading positi...

Another duo episode in which Timmy and I speak about some realizations we had over the past week. We speak about the importance of gratitude and of stepping back to enjoy life. As humans, we always seek to get better and create. This is fundamentally important for society, however sometimes we can get so wrapped up in constant worry, that we forget to be present in the moment. Gratitude and self-a...

No better way to spend Mischief night than to talk about the paranormal. No better person to talk with than Sean. Highly suggest listening to Sean's first episode at 191 in which we bring the receipts on some conspiracies. This week, Sean shares some bone chilling (literally) stories about his experience with ghosts/demons. We also dig into some paranormal files via the CIA for which we have p...

Joe's best friend, Justin, comes back for episode 200. If you have not listened to episode 100, do that to learn more about Justin. This week we hang out, drink (well Justin does), and bullshit about life. We added some fun games and funny "would you rather" questions in there to spice it up. Have fun and enjoy.

This week we discuss Timmy's mountain biking accident, which leads to a conversation about our great healthcare system. The second, and main half of the show, focuses on nostalgic cartoons. We give our opinions on which shows were the best and also bring up some disturbing fan theories which may ruin your childhood.

We all have heard the term "great minds think alike", however most people don't know that "but fools seldom differ" completes the phrase. We focus on the latter portion and how people tend to cling to their echo chamber stunting any potential growth. We also speak about the importance of being a change you want to see.

Another duo episode as we finish up the studio, which we aim to complete by episode 200. This week we speak about our mental growth this past year, how we keep our fears alive through our focus, and how our perception is reality. Take a moment to reflect on how this is prevalent in your life. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.c...

We bring you another conversation from the studio as a work-in-progress. We are excited to bring you the finished product; one step at a time. The topic of discussion for this episode is about the debate surrounding Tylenol and its links to autism. We address the aspect of how the people remain divided over every issue known to man. More importantly, we address how people will dismiss studies beca...

New recording software and camera for this week's show. Bear with us as we iron out some of the kinks. The topic of the week is about the good, bad, and the ugly of AI. Sure, AI will help businesses and society in a positive way, however what happens if it falls into the wrong hands? Who decides the moral code? In addition, why does humanity need AI when the real intelligence comes from God? E...

Rest in peace to Charlie Kirk and prayers for his family. We give our views on Charlie's assassination and on some of its weird takes. Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

After 193 episodes, we never thought to encounter audio difficulties at this stage, however, things happen. While we were able to salvage the audio, we did not want to risk encountering more issues and cut the show short. Topic for the week is introducing our new podcast shed. Timmy came across an old shed that we (mostly Timmy as the handy one) are renovating. It's cool to see how the show ha...

We welcome back to the show, Matt Stavrakis. Matt is our friend from Pure MMA and originally appeared on the show on episode 45. Matt has one of the best personalities, which translates to a great conversation. We touch on all the bs going on in the world and other fun topics. Matt's gift is that he is able to articulate well thought out points while keeping a light-hearted spirit. You should also...

We had a lot of fun this week talking about some conspiracies with Sean, who Joe met through a familiar name to the show, Don. Sean heard us talk about the matrix a couple of episodes ago and decided he wanted to share some of his research related to the topic. However, Sean went above and beyond by bringing detailed notes and the sources from which he derived those. The topics include the followi...

This week, we have Joe's friends, Tori and Jimmy, from his bartending days at NOM. It was fun to catch up with Tori and Jimmy as we discussed multiple topics. We talk about meeting celebrities, getting attacked by horses, alcohol, sales and marketing. Really enjoyed the flow of the conversation and know you will too.

Another duo episode in which we talk about a conversation Joe had with a stranger on Friday night, and how the events played out in perfect synchronization.

This week Timmy asks a great question on if/when you should call it quits. Is there a timeline on when you should "hang up the boots" so to speak? What if you quit right before you get what you want? Let us know what you think on this topic? Episode resources: Sponsor: Honest Supplements - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://honestsupplements.com⁠⁠⁠⁠

This week we are joined by our friend Billy Liamero from Pure MMA. We have a chat about his job as an ironworker in NYC, BJJ, partying, and rapping. This is a wild one with a lot of curve balls thrown at you. One thing is for sure; Billy is enjoying life.
