It's interesting to see how much has changed and perhaps what hasn't changed in the nearly 3 years since this interview first happened. During this conversation, Cody talks about a lot of topics for the first time like the fact that Dynamite would be a 2-hour show, how wins and losses will matter in AEW, whether or not they will have pyro, what the AEW World Championship would look like (because at this point it had not been revealed), his relationship with WWE, his opinion on being a heel and face and much more. It is fascinating to listen to this knowing what we know now. Let me know what you think of this!

Ep 308What I Learned From Not Eating Sugar For A Month... And It's Not What You Think

I just wrapped up No Sugar January, which is exactly what it sounds like: an entire month with no added sugar.

What's something you could cut out, or at least cut back on, that would improve the quality of your life instantly? Because if you keep the same things, you'll keep getting the same results.
