Austin Edlow - Truth, Faith, Music, Basketball & John Adams Academy - The 100th Episode Special

Austin Edlow is a Senior in High School...who also happens to be my oldest son.
He is a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, an award winning choir performer, a bona fide rock star, a varsity basketball player and a fun/amazing friend. He is about to graduate high school and is preparing to serve a full time mission after he turns 18.
Austin comes on the podcast to discuss what he's learned in high school, objective truth, the education at John Adams Academy, his musical influences, his favorite basketball players, his advice for teens who may be struggling with faith...with some dad talk inbetween.
Oh....and some "allegedly" direct "Dom Quotes" that you don't want to miss.

The Evolution of Tom Arnold - Parenthood, Roseanne, True Lies Sobriety and Donald Trump

Tom Arnold is an American actor and comedian. He is best known for his roles in the hit TV show Roseanne and feature films True Lies and Nine Months.
Tom was born in Iowa to young parents. His mother abandoned him and his two siblings when he was a child, leaving him to be raised by his father.
In his teens, Tom and his sister Lori moved in with their mother. Lori (with her mother's consent) married at 14 to a 22 year old man and became one of the most prolific drug dealers in the midwest.
Tom escaped that fate by working at the same meatpacking plant that his grandfather worked. He worked there 3 years until he raised enough money to attend the University of Iowa where he studied business and writing. His dream was to become a famous comedian.
In the early 80s, Tom was hired by Roseanne Barr to work as a writer on her tv show. They fell in love and were married. They later had a very contentious and public divorce in 1994. He feared that Roseanne would make sure he never worked again, until he sat for a role in James Cameron's True Lies. He played as a supporting actor for Arnold Schwarzenegger and the two became life long friends. He has since had several successful projects in TV and comedy, including a hilarious segment on the roast of Roseanne.
Tom comes on the podcast to discuss his career, his history with Roseanne, his thoughts on Donald Trump and Joe Biden, working in Hollywood, Arnold Schwarzenegger and most of all his life changing experience as a father (including one of the most hilarious "dad moments" in the history of the Edlow Podcast).

The Dave Dutra Story - Pro Wrestling, Family and Parenting - the Evolution of the Battle King

Dave Dutra is an Independent Professional Wrestler who started in the backyard and ended up in the spotlight.
A bay area native, Dave fell in love with wrestling as a young boy while spending weekends with his dad. As a teenager, he and his friends created a backyard wrestling group that would eventually rent time using the famous All Pro Wrestling "garage" for their shows. There he met Michael Modest and Vito Tomaselli. These two would become integral in starting his pro wrestling career at Pro Wrestling Iron.
Unfortunately, his time at Iron was short lived, and Dave eventually ended up finishing his training at All Pro Wrestling. He embarked on his career while also marrying his high school sweetheart Melissa along the way. They eventually made their way to Sacramento where Dave got his first opportunity to be a main eventer for SWF Wrestling. There he learned and grew as a professional, which catapulted him to the top of the card as a top draw in the area.
Since that time, Dave has worked for nearly every major company in pro wrestling, including WWE and All Elite Wrestling. He has appeared on WWE Raw, WWE Smackdown and AEW Dark. He has wrestled some of the biggest names in wrestling and even shared the screen with the Rock while working as an extra for the WWE. He continues to wrestle on the independent circuit.
Dave comes on the podcast to discuss his journey. He talks about what it takes to make it, doing extra work for the WWE, his experience at AEW, his family life, prioritizing family and wrestling, and so much more.

The Mike Petterborg Story - From Addict to High Counselor - A Modern Day Prodigal Son

Mike Petterborg is a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. However, he has not always been active, in fact quite the contrary. For 30 years he was a self described addict who enjoyed a biker lifestyle.
Mike grew up in Idaho Falls in Idaho with his parents. He stayed active in the church through high school, but a strained relationship with his father coupled with friends encouraging rebellious habits, drew him away from the gospel. He eventually joined the armed forces, which gave him a sense of belonging, but also drew him away from the church. He eventually joined a group of bikers, some of which were affiliated with the Hells Angels. He grew farther and farther into addiction, which also effected several relationships.
Hear the rest of the story. Hear how a family member invited him to attend church one week and that led to him coming back to the gospel, gaining a testimony, reconciling his past relationships, repentance and restoration.
This is nothing short of a modern day prodigal son story.

Santino Marella - Comedy, Wrestling, Kids and Gratitude - What Matters Most

Santino Marella (real name Anthony Carelli) is a Canadian born pro wrestler and Judoku. He is currently signed to TNA Wrestling, but he is best known for his 11 year career in the WWE. 
He is also the founder and head instructor for Battle Arts Academy, a martial arts and pro wrestling training facility in Canada. 
In his youth, Anthony was an accomplished judo champion. When he was signed to the WWE in 2005 he imagined that his style would mirror his real life persona. However, he was assigned the character Santino Marella, an Italian stereotype, and found himself in several comedic segments. His comedy got over with the crowd and he quickly became one of the most popular acts in the WWE.
However, with his success also came some sacrifices, particularly time away from his daughter Bianca. He hated leaving to train and travel, but he believed that his success in wrestling would lead to a better life for her. 
Now Bianca is also signed to the WWE. She and her father now share in the same legacy. 
Santino comes on the podcast to share his story. He discusses the miracle of being signed to WWE at the age of 32, the comedy, the sacrifices and the nuance of comedy in wrestling. He also discusses the importance of his family, his favorite WWE moments, the possibility of CM Punk in TNA and much more.

Sandy Phillips Kirkham - Grooming, Manipulation & Trauma - Breaking Free From Clergy Abuse

Sandy Phillips Kirkham is a wife, mother and grandmother. At age 16, she was victimized by a charismatic youth pastor who lured her into an abusive 5 year relationship. From their very first meeting, the new youth minister slowly and methodically turned the sacred relationship of a trusted spiritual leader to one of abuse: sexual, emotional, and physical.
When his actions were discovered, he was simply moved to another church, leaving Sandy to pay for his deeds. She was not his first victim, nor would she be his last. The trauma of the occurrence resulted in her feeling broken, betrayed and shamed.
Sandy successfully concealed her abuse for twenty-seven years until a trigger forced her to face the truth. Today she is an advocate for victims of "clergy abuse." She currently serves on the board of Council Against Child Abuse. She has appeared on several television stations, panels and podcasts to share her advocacy.
Her recent book "Let Me Prey On You" shares her story of trauma and healing in detail. Sandy comes on the podcast to share her story, the trauma and the healing. She also shares things to watch for, the signs of trauma in children and things church leaders and members can do to protect children from predators.
Ms. Kirkham's book "Let Me Prey Upon You" can be found on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Let-Prey-Upon-You-Ministers/dp/1734195207
