Dez Nemec asked Jonathan Janz:

I'm listening to Castle of Sorrows and I have to ask - did you wrestle in college? And if so for where? In recent years I have become a college wrestling fan since my alma mater's team is amazing (Go Penn State!), and I got such a kick out of Castillo's little speech about being a college wrestler and Teddy's comment of: "I never did like the Hawkeyes," so I had to ask.

Jonathan Janz Great question! I didn't wrestle. I was definitely more the basketball build, so that was my sport. I did have friends who wrestled, however, so I drew a bit on stuff they'd say. And as a teacher, I've had several colleagues who coach wrestling, so that influenced COS too.

Thank you for reading it, Dez!
