White Belts In Life

Fear not, fellow White Belts! The ambrosia your ears have been yearning for is upon us. The wait is over. CMatch rides solo on this 9th official episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast, as we welcome Mr. Stephen Metzinger on to the show as our guest. The topic of fitness is a recurring theme and point of discussion on the show, as it is one of the unifying qualities that brought our hosts together, in addition to being the industry in which both CMatch and Rick work. Many of our listeners probably hold that same interest, and a few may be itching to make their living in the gym, and work as a personal trainer or coach. Like many things in life, the reality is quite a bit different than the expectation, and Stephen has more "in the trenches" experience as a trainer than just about anyone we know. Stephen has worked as a trainer in every possible setting, and he worked his way up the ladder the hardest possible way, starting out with a single client and slowly building himself to become a fully-boo

Fellow White Belts! Assemble! Class is now in session, for the 8th official episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is upon us. We are back to celebrate with all of our wonderful White Belts in Life, how dare you think that we'd abandoned you! After a week off, our 1-Stripers get together to discuss the rash of deaths in the bodybuilding community, touch upon Mayweather vs. McGregor one last time, use Jon Jones' positive test as an opportunity to discuss PED use in all of sports, and briefly mention the Charlottesville events in what is hopefully a very measured (and somewhat frightened) manner. Thanks to all of our fellow White Belts who have listened, and hopefully enjoyed thus far! We've reached 1000 total downloads of the show within the first 70 days of its existence. We are both shocked and elated that this has occurred. May the spirit of Rippetoe bless you all. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we're giving away a romantic evening with our lovely host Rick Robotin (could be a man date too). This

Rejoice! The 7th "official" episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is upon us! On this epsiode, we are joined by the nicest bad MOFO you'll ever come across, Mr. Aaron Meisner. Aaron is a former professional MMA fighter, current MMA coach, and Ultimate Fighter alumni. He also owns and operates the best and most badass Muay Thai gym in Philadelphia, Royal StriKing. Over the course of the show we touch upon White Belts, the growth of MMA, transitioning from fighter to coach, and the Mayweather-McGregor fight. Listen in as this may be the one and only time that an actual non-white belt passes through the WBiL studio's force field. Also, if you're in the greater Philadelphia area and want to learn the Art of 8 Limbs, you'd be wise to check out Royal StriKing.

Stop children, whats that sound, everybody look.....cuz the 6th episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is.....going down? That's right fellow one-stripers, we're here to unleash the 6th episode of the show. Our guest on this particular podcast was our good friend Abraham Dunmeyer (@adunmeye). Abraham fits perfectly in to our framework of trying to speak with those still traversing along more unconventional paths in life, for he has spent the past few years living and working in Los Angeles as an actor, director, model, and producer in both the film and advertising industries. We spend the better part of 90 minutes discussing the state of the entertainment industry, making it as an actor or comedian, the lifespan of midgets, and Thor Bjornsson. Listen in, and inch closer to the moment you #earnyourstripe... Godspeed.

They said it couldn't be done folks. But yet, here we are. Welcome to episode #5 of the White Belts in Life Podcast. On this episode, we are joined by our good friend Rob Watkins, stand-up comedian, "Dude" doppelganger, and all around swell guy. We discuss Rob's journey within comedy, but in the end, a fun conversation that covered a list of topics too numerous to mention broke out. This is a fun one, we hope you enjoy.

Can it be?!? A 4th episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast? Why yes, yes it can. On this episode, our 1-Stripe White Belt Trifecta (CMatch, Rick Robotin, and Jimmy Viola) are joined by world traveler and all-around interesting gentleman, Major James McClendon. We may have broken our own rule, for James may in fact have more than a single stripe on his White Belt. James is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, but there are many notable lines on his resume. In addition to being a USMC vet, James has been a professional wrestler on the independent circuit, a professional basketball player overseas, and a bare knuckle boxer. We spend a good chunk of the episode covering James' experience within the professional wrestling industry, as that is the network we encountered him through. However, he also touches upon his time serving in the military, and gives us his take on motivation, along with his backstory. As previously mentioned, who the hell knows if anyone even reads this, so that's probably enough f

The highly anticipated 3rd "official" episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast is upon us! It's the audio entertainment your ears have been yearning for. In this episode, our 1-Stripe White Belt Hosts are joined by........guests! Two of them, in fact. Jimmy Viola and Joe Gates jump in about an hour in to the episode. Jimmy and Joe are versatile entertainers who've collectively participated in a number of realms, not limited to: comedy, improv, music, burlesque, martial arts, and even professional wrestling. We touch upon Jimmy and Joe's experiences in these areas, and reminisce over old-school UFC bouts and Wrestlemania main events. Prior to the guests, CMatch and Rick share some of their typical banter, and touch upon fetishes, drinking alcohol, and strength training seminars. We're not even sure if anyone reads these blurbs, so that's probably enough writing. Just listen to the damn show........please?!? Godspeed.

This is the inaugural episode of the White Belts in Life Podcast, a show created and operated by 2 personal trainers or 1.5 stand-up comedians. It seems as if every podcast is required to begin their feed with an initial episode that introduces the hosts and further explains the content of the shows to come. So, this is us, doing that.
