Creed Tattoos and world Peace
He may look like a teddy bear, but Matt Vincent is a…straight grizzly…competitor. This creator of ihviii [@ihviiimattvincent] is best known for his numerous Highland Games appearances and for blowing out his ACL at PAHQ. Although the knee injury was a minor physical setback for Vincent, the buzz surrounding the incident propelled him into celebrity status. You’re welcome.
This week Matt and The Crew trade knee rehab stories, discuss some of the most notorious stone lifting feats, and delve into the current state of fringe politics in our country. But, the real gem of this episode lies towards the end when Luke reads an email exchange from scammer/solicitor in Barcelona. Strap yourself in for cockfighting, IG crushes, racism, flat earth bullshit and Keanu Reeves.
