Summary

Happy Halloween BellBabies! The guys have an awesome episode for your goodie bags. The great comedian Matt Besser (improv4humans podcast and POT HUMOR) joins Euge and Stang in The Weight Room. The group kicks the show off with a discussion about competitiveness and wether it's genetic or socially constructed. Then Matt tells the guys his story about playing competitive soccer growing up, electing to remain a big fish in a small pond and then getting a ride awakening in college. The show wraps up with some details about the taping of Besser's standup special (POT HUMOR - available now) and some craziness that happened with the audience. Listen! And happy Halloween!

"Trick or Treat!!!"
