Join Johnny Stanton as he welcomes Mike Golic Jr. from football royalty to Athletics Check and see what happens when two passionate fans nerd out on nerd culture.  We welcome the incredibly charismatic Mike Golic Jr. - massive Swiftie, anime enthusiast, and snack food connoisseur - to discuss breaking the "jocks vs nerds" stereotype, his Dragon Ball Z celebration dreams, and why having interests outside of sports is crucial for mental balance. Plus, don't miss our hilarious Taylor Swift song-to-NFL player comparisons and the Random Flavor Generator where you get to see Mike taste test his latest snack haul from Japan. Whether you're a sports fanatic, anime lover, or Taylor Swift stan, this episode proves that passion comes in many forms. As Johnny says, "nerdiness is just a synonym for passion" - and Mike Golic Jr. embodies that perfectly!
