Frankie & Roger Start Connecting Dots They Probably Shouldn’t | Episode #300
On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk… about why nothing ever feels cut and dry anymore, from major news events to viral narratives everyone argues over.

Roger Tells the Clinton Road Story He Avoided for Years | Episode #299
On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk… or they chat with Chris Liguori & Jesse Holt… about wild gym stories, dating realities as you get older, and why time seems to move faster every year. The conversation takes a turn into unexplained experiences, haunted New Jersey lore, and moments that still don’t have clear answers. They also break down the latest UFC fights, judging controversies, and how fighters are really evaluated behind the scenes. As always, nothing is off limits and nothing is overly polished.Chapters:00:00:00 Disclaimer00:00:13 Carnivor00:01:50 Show Kickoff & Banter00:02:17 Fighter Drama & Misunderstandings00:06:30 Dating Age Gaps & Relationship Reality00:10:05 Why Time Feels Faster as You Get Older00:12:46 Belief in Ghosts & the Unexplainable00:15:10 The Maine Lodge Story00:21:34 Clinton Road & NJ Haunted Legends00:26:51 UFC Fight Breakdown & Judging Talk00:32:36 Retirements, Rematches & UFC Politics00:38:17 Most “All-American” Fighters Ever00:40:17 The Rock, Smashing Machine & MMA Movies00:42:08 Injuries, Nerve Damage & Long-Term Wear00:45:38 Vitamins, Nicotine & Health Myths00:49:07 Weed Culture, Smell, and Public Spaces00:51:22 Final Thoughts & Sign-OffFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/champandthetrampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@champandthetrampFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/champandthetrampDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about combat sports, politics, and everything in between!

Roger Shares the Side of Single Dad Holidays Nobody Talks About | Episode #297
On this episode of @champandthetramp, the guys talk while crushing the insane sandwich platter our friends at Coffee Zone on Route 37 in Toms River hooked them up with. They get into Ocean County life, Roger’s wild reality as a single dad during the holidays, and Frankie’s behind-the-scenes stories about wrestling, sparring, and gym culture. The conversation drifts into conspiracies, politics, and the things people try to forget—but shouldn’t. It’s loose, unfiltered, and classic Champ and the Tramp from start to finish.Chapters:00:00:00 Disclaimer00:00:13 Carnivor00:01:35 The Sandwich Platter from Coffee Zone00:03:16 Breaking Down the Chicken Parm & Pork Roll00:04:04 Ocean County Talk00:05:37 Local Coffee Spots & Supporting Small Business00:07:21 How Long Frankie Works in a Day00:10:21 Single Dad Thanksgiving Plans00:12:09 Hiking Mount Tammany & Back Troubles00:13:58 Thanksgiving Food Breakdown00:15:38 Thanksgiving Eve Party Stories00:18:09 Brutal Wrestling Weight Cuts00:20:09 Would Frankie Ever Fight Again?00:22:16 Sparring Rules & Gym Etiquette00:25:45 Hard Sparring Stories & Gym Bullies00:26:51 UFC White House Lawn Fight00:29:47 Politics, Fight Culture & Polarizing Figures00:32:29 Free Speech, Laws & Double Standards00:33:53 Scariest Movies Ever Made00:34:27 Candace Owens, Assassinations & Conspiracies00:36:50 Epstein, Cover-Ups & “Forgetting”00:40:56 Media Grifters & Online Influence00:43:29 Podcasters Fighting Each Other00:45:22 Wanting Land & Getting Away from People00:47:04 Being a Dad & Life Direction00:49:23 Living on the Water Pros & Cons00:50:50 What They’re Thankful For00:52:12 Raising Kids, God & Perspective00:56:15 Phones, Parenting & Discipline00:57:46 Life as a Single DadFollow us on social media:Instagram: https://instagram.com/champandthetrampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@champandthetrampFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/champandthetrampDon't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more unfiltered conversations about combat sports, politics, and everything in between!
