Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Glutton. Outside of acting my two favorite things

to do are diet and eat. I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast

we're going to talk about all of it. Food as entertainment, food as sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person just like you and me.

powerlifter. His motto is if you're not getting better, then you're getting worse, so never

be caught standing still. Mark Bell is a badass and one of the biggest inspirations I know.

He owns the super training gym, the strongest gym in the west, and hosts one of the top podcasts

in the fitness area. You can follow Mark on Instagram at Mark Smilly Bell or go to his website

markbell.com. Mark Bell, welcome to the American Glutton podcast.

day of being a normal human? Am I going to be notified that I'll be a grandparent tomorrow?

It can happen, huh? I mean, I mean, listen, I think technically it could happen to you. I

think that's right. Probably a little early, but yes, it could happen. It could happen to both of us

any day. But I think you got a little ways yet. It could happen to me any second. I could be notified.

I was everything going for you. It's going good. But Iga Bay just straight out to the coast from you.

Pretty much, yeah. Yeah, it's, I don't know if you've heard of like Dylan's beach or any

that kind of stuff, but yeah, it's kind of hard to describe where it is because people are always
