On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk while crushing the insane sandwich platter our friends at Coffee Zone on Route 37 in Toms River hooked them up with. They get into Ocean County life, Roger’s wild reality as a single dad during the holidays, and Frankie’s behind-the-scenes stories about wrestling, sparring, and gym culture. The conversation drifts into conspiracies, politics, and the things people try to forget—but shouldn’t. It’s loose, unfiltered, and classic Champ and the Tramp from start to finish.Chapters:00:00:00 Disclaimer00:00:13 Carnivor00:01:35 The Sandwich Platter from Coffee Zone00:03:16 Breaking Down the Chicken Parm & Pork Roll00:04:04 Ocean County Talk00:05:37 Local Coffee Spots & Supporting Small Business00:07:21 How Long Frankie Works in a Day00:10:21 Single Dad Thanksgiving Plans00:12:09 Hiking Mount Tammany & Back Troubles00:13:58 Thanksgiving Food Breakdown00:15:38 Thanksgiving Eve Party Stories00:18:09 Brutal Wrestling Weight Cuts00:20:09 Would Frankie Ever Fight Again?00:22:16 Sparring Rules & Gym Etiquette00:25:45 Hard Sparring Stories & Gym Bullies00:26:51 UFC White House Lawn Fight00:29:47 Politics, Fight Culture & Polarizing Figures00:32:29 Free Speech, Laws & Double Standards00:33:53 Scariest Movies Ever Made00:34:27 Candace Owens, Assassinations & Conspiracies00:36:50 Epstein, Cover-Ups & “Forgetting”00:40:56 Media Grifters & Online Influence00:43:29 Podcasters Fighting Each Other00:45:22 Wanting Land & Getting Away from People00:47:04 Being a Dad & Life Direction00:49:23 Living on the Water Pros & Cons00:50:50 What They’re Thankful For00:52:12 Raising Kids, God & Perspective00:56:15 Phones, Parenting & Discipline00:57:46 Life as a Single DadFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/champandthetrampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@champandthetrampFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/champandthetrampDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about combat sports, politics, and everything in between!
