Bo was on Sean Hannity's podcast yesterday for 90 minutes. We all knew of his wrestling prowess, but I knew little about him personally. What a well grounded, intelligent person he is. He's very sure of where he is in life and where he's going. What a great ambassador for the wrestling program and the school in general. Penn State should be very proud of him. Well worth 90 minutes of your time.

You lost me at Sean Hannity. I’ll take your word for it.

Agree 100%. If you had a son that turns out like him, you’ve done extremely well. He is definitely a great ambassador for the school and community. Bo will do great at whatever he decides to pursue in life. He is incredibly intelligent, focused, and results oriented.
You can say the same thing about his best buddy Anthony Cassar.

My political ideology probably is pretty closely aligned with Hannity's, but he's hard to listen to. Don't think I could get through even a few minutes, even if he was interviewing someone I really like (ie. Bo).
I watched it and politics were not discussed at all. Zero. It was a very good and interesting interview. Any wrestling or MMA fan, regardless of political persuasion, should find this interview interesting.

You disrespect Bo. It’s a discussion about wresting and MMA and gives Bo a stage on which he shines. Hannity just happens to like the sport and he gives Bo a platform. Without Hannity the message does not get out.
Put aside your petty prejudice of politics and give it a chance … if your myopic sense of things will allow it

I’ve never listened to more than 10 minutes of Hannity before. He seems less angry now,—maybe a bit wiser—but was definitely repetitive and at times tried to steer the conversation to his own talking points—Bo was a star and brought a genuine and higher standard of perspective. Glad I listened.

No. No disrespect to Bo at all. If that’s how you take it, that’s on you.

I'm a conservative and listen to numerous radio personalities but the Hannity show is a tough listen. The constant repeating of talking points and the one sided propaganda is a tough listen. I actually tried to call once to correct Hannity but the screener argued with me that I was wrong with what I wanted to discuss. Trump increased the Corporate tax on truly small business. I'm a owner of a very small C Corp with 5 employees that was set up in 1937. Corporate tax rates were increased on the first 50K of year end profit from 15% to 20%. The screener didn't even know it and I bet Hannity didn't either.
The Clay and Buck Show is a far better listen.

Or the never-ending bulletpoint lists. The guy is a repetitive putz who thinks he's sharper than he is. I casually talk to people all the time that are better communicators and more informed politically, yet he's making darn near $50M/yr talking about politics 🤷‍♂️ Who's listening to this guy?

I listen to several podcasts regularly and will occasionally dabble in a politically-based show. Nonetheless, there is nobody in mainstream TV media I'd listen to regularly and Hannity is on the short list of the worst, even though our views are aligned on many (if not most) issues. OP might as well have said Bo was on IMO with Michelle Obama or the "Call her Daddy" podcast.

May the best man win it's how wrestling was forever guys couldn't leave years ago and they battled. Kasak James Sealey Mitchell Duke Henckel Cunningham will all be battling for 3 weights. We don't always know what goes on behind the scenes I'm not gonna take 1 performance and change my opinion of him

Who the heck is Hannity? Does he have any eligibility left? Can he get out from bottom? I don't think we need him :)
FULL COURT PRESS!!!
On a side note maybe lets not bring any politics to a wrestling board??

It is shocking how so many posters on this forum, especially after the integration of the two sites, have an inability to stay on topic.
My god! Seriously, the original poster is sharing an interview of Bo Nickal that was in-depth and would have been below the radar for many/most here.
Instead of listening to the podcast and commenting on what Bo had to say, the majority of you feel compelled to declare how closed-minded you are about the interviewer and turn it into some micro-story about your own life.
I wish all of you would just spend your time posting on Facebook, Instagram, etc.
OKLALions, thanks for sharing PSU Wrestling/NLWC meaningful content.

OT: my favorite listen is Leland Whaley on 99.5 Birmingham AL (3pm ET daily)

Oh the irony of calling people close minded when talking about Sean Hannity.

A show about MMA & Wrestling. With one of our own on it, yet people feel the needs to discuss their dislike of a guy helping the platform we love?? I mean I guess you could wear a look at me shirt too,but, nobody gives 2 💩 about anyone’s thoughts on Hannity or Obama or anything other than Bo. Big thank you to sharing the info to listen to Bo as I’ll go listen to our guy today.

Bo is a regular podcaster himself. I would bet this is a better listen .

The interview by Hannity does not discuss politics. There are a few references to Trump, nothing in detail. It is a good listen. In this podcast, Bo says that his podcast has basically shut down, him and Cassar do not have the time. Hannity did encourage Bo to do a podcast.

I am not a fan of Hannity, this was worthwhile to listen too.

That first sentence seems a pretty weird take.

I watched some of Anthony's videos about the house flipping he's really pushing it and doing quite well for himself.

The podcasts get very old and it must be a little bit difficult to try to make content say every day. If we're talking about big name podcasts, I watch very few of them. I've been finding some smaller guys that are fairly credential. It seem to put out some decent content.
