    <description>The Grit City Podcast is a weekly audio experience like no other! Hosted from the vibrant city of Tacoma, Washington - also known as "Grit City," our show has been entertaining and informing listeners since 2014. And what a ride it's been! 
Every week, we release a new episode that introduces you to the dynamic and inspiring individuals who call the Pacific Northwest home. From local business owners and entrepreneurs to authors, artists, and unique characters, our guests embody the hard-working, blue-collar spirit that Grit City is known for. And let's not forget the occasional drug-fueled weirdo we may have met at a comedy club the night before!
The Grit City Podcast first launched back in the summer of 2014 and quickly built a loyal fanbase of listeners who appreciated the show's unique perspective on the Seattle/Tacoma area. After a brief hiatus in 2017, the podcast was rebooted in 2018, with even more friends and family members involved. It quickly regained its "must listen to" status and went on to deliver an impressive 275 episodes and counting, delivering over 280 hours of audio content to our fans since. With no signs of slowing down soon!
Our mission at The Grit City Podcast is simple: to bring the hard-working spirit of the Pacific Northwest to the world and have a good time doing it! We aim to create a community of listeners who understand and appreciate the concept of "grit". With a focus on local business owners, entrepreneurs, and unique characters, sprinkled with a good dose of humor, The Grit City Podcast is a one-of-a-kind audio experience that you won't want to miss.
So, if you're looking for a weekly dose of inspiration, laughter, and a celebration of the human spirit, look no further than The Grit City Podcast! Subscribe now and join us for the ride!

It’s a branch of the largest backyard fight group in the USA, Streetbeefs, created in 2008.  Steve brought Streetbeefs concept “Guns Down, Gloves up!” to the PNW in 2020. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;00:16 – Justin comes up with the newest business idea to pass on to Steve, Scott talks about being excited to record this episode, and Justin briefly describes Streetbeefs Scrapyard.  They play part of a fight for listeners to get a feel of what it’s like, Buddy V introduces himself, and how he ended up getting started in Scrapyard.   &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;9:47 – Buddy V talks about the lives each of the fighters have outside of the fight, why he fights, and getting involved in the interviews he does for Scrapyard.  He shares where people can find him online, Jeff and Scott encourage Justin to become a fighter himself, and they talk to Anomaly about his involvement with the club.    &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;18:58 – Anomaly talks about the types of fighting he enjoys watching at the event, if he’s refereeing at it, and explains how they go through the rules before each event.  He talks about why it’s important as a ref to watch the losing guy, Scott and Justin, guess who they think will win the current fight, and they talk to Lights Out, who shares the advice he would pass on to new fighters.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;30:16 – They tune into another live fight, encourage the fighters in the last round to keep it going, and chat with Firechicken during fight intermission.   Firechicken talks about the development he’s done since the last time GCP was out, the different types of fight styles he sees, and who his favorite is on the hall of fame.  He talks about how people can get involved and the importance of understanding what each fighter wants to achieve with fighting.  Special Guest: Steve Hagara.&lt;/p&gt;
