Sumo Kaboom
Sumo Kaboom! A weekly podcast dedicated to our favorite sport - sumo wrestling. We chat about tournaments, current events, history, and our favorite wrestlers. Both Collins sisters have been performers, improvisers, creators, and comedians for over 20 years. Having lived in Japan, Leslie loves researching the history and traditions of sumo. She also has a deep love for sumo karaoke singers. Laurie is fascinated by Japanese television, the sumo training regimen, and Hakuho. Together, they serve up exciting sumo treats for curious sumo fans. These kooky sisters share an enthusiasm for sumo and like all sisters, they work amazingly well together. All of the time. There are never any issues. Ever.

We cover the sumo, "underperforming ozeki," whether we love or hate the henka, the "lobster claw technique," British accents, crumpets, shortbread and Spencer's. Ya know, our normal sumo commentary. We have NO idea how this is going to shake out. All bets are off the table.

Funny fights. Surprising fights. Amazing fights. This basho already has it all, and it's only day 3.
We break down our favorite moments and wonder about gyoji training, training for head butting, and why it will NEVER get old watching a small wrestler take down a much larger one. Sometimes we get technical, but most of the time, we are just two fans watching this cool sport and loving what we see.

There's a little something for everyone in this episode. Confusing sumo kimarite terms. Gyoji outfits. Would-you-rather. How much time do you spend researching? Do you talk sumo away from the podcast? Do you believe in ghosts? What job would you want as a retired rikishi? And so much more.

We're watching the sumo and loving it! This is the time where we become fan girls and simply enjoy the show, and then we come chat about it here. Do we have anything smart to say? Who knows. But we imagine Brooding Class 101 and that's enough joy for an entire day.

Oof. Sumo elders. We spent a week trying to understand the world of sumo elders, and we didn't get very far. It's a maze of information, changing rules, and mystery name changes. We unpeel a layer or two, but there's still SO MUCH we don't get.

We asked. You answered. This episode is devoted to who YOU think is sexy. It's raucous, ridiculous and raunchy, so this episode is definitely for adult ears only! Extra special BONUS: sumo erotica from the Grand Sumo Breakdown.

A rambling discussion on days 4-10 of the January 2022 basho. What is Hakuho most worried about these days? (It's not what you think) Which large man is moving with surprising speed and agility? (Mr. Sumo) Which small man is keeping us entertained? (Ura) How are we, 2 non-wrestlers, describing the best throw downs? (with underwear and submarines) Apologies, we get a little potty-mouthed in this episode, too.
