A weekly podcast dedicated to our favorite sport - sumo wrestling. We chat about tournaments, current events, history and our favorite wrestlers. We are performers, improvisers, and creators and have absolutely no sumo training. But, we are huge sumo fans. Having lived in Japan, Leslie loves the history and traditions of sumo. She also has a deep love for sumo karaoke singers. Laurie is fascinated by sumo wrestler fandom, the sumo training regimen and physicality of the sport. Together, we serve up exciting sumo treats for sumo-curious fans. We share an enthusiasm for sumo and like all sisters, we work amazingly well together. All of the time. There are never any issues. Ever. We also occasionally send out sumo related content. It is NOT hard-hitting sumo journalism and is usually very silly.

Hot Takes with Konishiki! There's nothing better! 46:30 yes Ever wondered what an ex-sumo wrestler thinks of the guys who are wrestling now? This is your episode! Hot Takes with Konishiki - what does he think of Terunofuji, Asanoyama, Shodai, Wakatakakage, Hoshoryu, falling into the audience, and what a wrestler needs to win. What's happening in this May basho? Konishiki sees it all. Also, we give you our non-professional and absolutely fan-based breakdown of the sumo that's heating up in the May basho. Don't come to us for the sumo know-how. Listen to us for the silliness and fan love.
