State Media · May 8, 2026 · 48m

Penn State wrestlers PJ Duke and Mason Ellis join Off the Mat for one of the wildest conversations yet. The guys revisit the moon landing debate, then get into UFO’s, UAP’s, aliens, The Matrix, and then get into the importance of mindsets before sharing some anecdotes they’ve learned from Coach Cael. This episode starts hilariously off the rails, then turns into a deeper discussion about wrestling and the culture at Penn State.
