Episode notes

If you were the dictator of the world and this would entertain me, I'd make Gordon Ryan fight a bear or a lion. How would you coach him to do it? He goes in empty handed. My advice would be very simple. You're going to die badly. Choose the lion because it will strangle you to death rather than pin you down and maul you to death. If it was a polar bear maybe it's different. Do you care? I'm going to the North Pole. Deeply about athletes you coached, about people in your life.
