For those of you somehow sick of GSB taking themselves too seriously, check out our live coverage of Juryo on day 1 of the Haru basho. Mak couldn’t make it all the way to “Osaka” with us, so we brought along Jake’s wife/returning GSB guest star, Katie! Join us for a thoroughly irreverent and silly hangout and direct all complaints to 805-613-SUMO (7866).

In light of his recent passing in October 2018, we are covering the career and life of the 54th yokozuna: Wajima Hiroshi. Join us for a short historical bonus episode where we discuss his rise and fall through the ranks of sumo through his death last year at age 70, and all his wacky hi-jinx in between. As we mention in the episode, there is a fun thread on the Sumo Forums website with an insane amount of pictures of Wajima. We’ve linked it below with some of the ones we mention in the episode. As always, give us a call at 805-613-SUMO (7816) or find us on Twitter/Facebook!

The Midwest is cold AF this week, so we keep warm by cozying up by the fire and blasting each other point blank with nerf guns. Also chat about sumo I guess. Good times. Check out our medical sponsor at 50:58 and leave us a message at 805-613-SUMO (7816).

We hope everyone enjoyed the holidays, but now that December is almost over, it’s time to get back to the very serious business of giving out fake awards for sumo wrestling. Join us for an hour or so of reviewing 2018 before the January basho kicks off in 2 weeks. Find us on social media or leave us a message with any questions at 805-613-SUMO (7866).
As with a previous episode, we ran into a couple audio hiccups in this one, but they are rare after the first couple minutes. We apologize and our New Year’s resolution will be to recommit ourselves to flogging those responsible.

The leaves are changing, temperature is falling, and the Yokozuna are telling everyone how injured they are. That’s right, Sumo is back! This time the GSB crew takes a look at the Banzuke, discusses who’s looking healthy, and takes a wild stab at predicting how it’s all going to play out. We take break for a Mongolian mogul at 50:02 and as always, can be reached on social media or dropping a line at 805-613-SUMO (7866).

As always, give a call to 805-613-SUMO (7866) or find us on Twitter.
