This week on The Skud Missile Podcast, Michael flies solo as Ezra is under the weather and taking a well-deserved rest. But the missiles are still locked in and ready to launch.
In this episode:
* We begin by reflecting on the life and legacy of Hulk Hogan — a wrestling icon whose impact on pop culture is undeniable, but whose controversial past complicates how he’ll ultimately be remembered.
* Then we shift to the powerful and emotional story of Deion Sanders’ battle with bladder cancer. From diagnosis to recovery, Michael breaks down how Coach Prime kept it private, what it reveals about his character, and how he's turning pain into purpose.
* Finally, Michael unpacks the Way‑Too‑Early 2025 College Football Top 25, with a deep focus on Ohio State’s complete overhaul. With Will Howard gone, trenches rebuilt from scratch, and a QB battle brewing — is No. 5 too generous, or just right?
To close out the show, Michael answers three off-topic listener questions — including which sport he wishes he could instantly master and which athlete he’d love to interview on the pod.
