Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard joins us for an emotional, inspiring and fun conversation. He shares some awesome updates around CyTown, discusses his near fatal heart attack, his musical interests, the role that faith plays in his life, the importance of joining his men’s group and more.

Other things you might (ok, actually WILL) hear on the podcast...

"Sounds like I’m doggin’ on Branson. I’m not doggin’ on Branson."

"It would be Lutheran Church of Hope I get to see some magic"

"The Pierce’s bladder is so close to your tear ducts, that’s why we cry so much."

"For the most important test you’re ever gonna take in your life, why wouldn’t you study for it?"

You can probably guess the most insightful comment above didn't come from Ryan, Alyssa, or Jeremy.

Also Ryan talks about getting a paddle board lesson from manatees, Alyssa exposes her lack of visits to ISU (come on, Alyssa!), and Jeremy starts taking yoga. And Pierce's Pouch makes a (not so) glorious return!

Today Show cohost Craig Melvin joins us for a conversation around being dad, hosting the Today Show, his brand new book "I'm Proud of You," and of course.....Hootie....and more! Oh, and sadly Ryan couldn't make this one. He was definitely missed! Just don't tell him that - he'll get a big head about it.

Other things you might (ok, actually WILL) hear on the podcast...

"You’ve left your mark; one might say, your stain."

"It’s like you’re eating a fruity cloud."

"I think a lot of the ills in society can be resolved with a little empathy and a little grace."

You can probably guess which one came from Craig.

Also, Alyssa shares some nutritional secrets and Jeremy somehow resists the temptation to joke about his dead dad. Aren't you proud?

Things you might (ok, actually WILL) hear on the podcast...

"For a number of years I thought lemon desserts were for old people. Turns out I'm a big, big fan."

"We'll give you $45 an hour in hugs."

"I went to the bathroom and everything changed."

Ryan talks about going to the bathroom (right?), Alyssa shares about her newly found love (here's a hint: it involves lemons) and Jeremy talks about Milli Vanilli (not really sure why though).

We also have segments again! "I wish...", "the Bible verse I've been jamming on is..." and "my favorite...."
