    #149 - Curtain Jurkin w/ Jake Grondy

    As a preface, this was another episode apart of a series I was working on. To record the conversations I have with the people who have been the most encouraging to me to start the podcast again. In this recording, Jake and I discuss a multitude of topics that include running and his wrestling podcast, "Curtain Jurkin". This episode was recorded back in November 2023. Hence the dated references Jake and I make in our conversation.
