Episode 10 is a milestone — the 15 Friends Podcast officially has a theme song, and this is where you hear it first. The crew reacts to the world premiere, keeps the Grateful Garage vibes rolling, and invents a brand new reason to hang: a tour of Raleigh's breweries. Then things get existential — does caring about local zoning mean the boys are officially old? And is it really too early to talk football? (It's July. Of course it is. They do it anyway.)

This Side Piece goes international before it even leaves the garage. 🌏 First, we welcome Carson Fuhs to the pod for a recap of his trip to China — the sights, the stories, and everything that surprised him halfway around the world. ✈️ Then we stay in the family and go somewhere just as legendary: the Grateful Garage. Brian "Forrest Fuhs" takes us wall to wall through the famous photos — pro athletes, rock legends, and the stories behind how one regular guy keeps ending up in the frame. Plus, the crew's own contributions to the wall — including a certain Florida Gators banner — and the debate over what it takes to earn a spot in the Garage. 🖼️🎸

In this episode:
✈️ Carson Fuhs joins the pod — from America to China and back
🛋️ The origin story — how a garage became THE Garage
📸 The Wall Tour — Fuhs' best stories, photo by photo
🏈 The crew's wing — donations, rejects, and the Gators banner

Episode 9 is a loaded one. Fuhs finally opens the doors to the Grateful Garage — the wall of photos, the stories with pro athletes and musicians behind every single one, and why the crew calls him "Forrest Fuhs." Plus the philosophy that built it all: FRL — Front Row Life. Life is short, sit in the front row of yours. The gang reacts to the Father's Day episode, mourns US Soccer's World Cup exit at the hands of Belgium, and Jeff breaks down the full story behind his koi sleeve as it heads to color — three fish, one family, all swimming upward. Then the big one: the crew's favorite movies. Desert island picks, overrated classics, and at least one choice that starts a fight.

🎙️ In this episode:

• 🏠 Inside the Grateful Garage — and the legend of Forrest Fuhs
• 🪑 FRL: Front Row Life — the motto (and a future pod?)
• 👨‍👧 Reaction to the Father's Day episode
• ⚽ US Soccer is OUT — Belgium 4-1, the boys process
• 🐟 Jeff's koi goes to color — the full story behind the sleeve
• 🎬 Favorite movies: desert island 5s, overrated/underrated, and the ones you stop and watch every time

The boys are back with a holiday weekend loaded one. Fuhs opens the show with the long-awaited recap of the big family trip North — eleven days in a car, and he lived to tell about it. Then it's on to America's first World Cup knockout win since 2002 (down a man, no less), and the wedding of the century as Taylor and Travis turn Madison Square Garden into the American royal wedding. The crew wraps it with a 4th of July recap and stories from yesteryear that probably should've stayed buried. Plus a Health Breakdown shoutout to Renee's cousin Nic, doing great things to bring awareness to cancer. Brought to you by our friends at Main Street Tavern in Rolesville. Pull up a chair.

On this episode:

• Fuhs' Big Trip North — the recap, the meltdowns, the final verdict

The boys are back with our official (slightly belated) Father's Day episode — and this one's different. No games, no gimmicks — just the crew going around the room talking about our dads. The lessons they taught us, the sayings we can still hear in our heads, the stories that get funnier every year, and the things we didn't fully appreciate until we grew up and became them. Some laughs, some real moments, and a whole lot of "money doesn't grow on trees." This one's for the dads — the ones still with us and the ones we carry with us. Brought to you by our friends at Main Street Tavern in Rolesville. Pull up a chair.

On this episode:

• Gang Updates — the crew's 4th of July weekend recaps
• DADS — the tribute: best lessons, dad-isms, and the stories that made us
• The moments we didn't appreciate until we became them
• This week's RECO's

Cup-hangover edition. Jeff, Cox, Norm, Derek, and Rob get into the rest of the world after the Canes lifted Lord Stanley — starting with Fuhs (off the air this week) gearing up for an 11-day family road trip and the question every married guy has asked: how long is too long in the car with family?

Side Piece: 20 Years Worth the Wait

The Carolina Hurricanes are 2026 Stanley Cup Champions. Twenty years. Sixteen wins. Three losses. One Cup. Jeff, Cox, Kyle, Norm, Derek, and Rob break down everything that just happened — the dominating playoff run (16-3, second only to the '88 Oilers), Jordan Staal's no-brainer Conn Smythe as the oldest winner in NHL history, Rod the Bod becoming the first player-then-coach to win a Cup with the same team in 70 years, why this roster is built to do it again, and whether the rest of the hockey world is finally ready to take this team seriously. Plus the lingering question: does Rod get a statue? Brought to you by Pete's Ultra Tight Clothier and our friends at North State Liquidators.

On this episode:

• The dominating Cup win in Vegas — Bussi's first career playoff shutout
• Why Staal as Conn Smythe was a no-brainer (and the wildest stats behind it)
• Rod Brind'Amour — 7th person ever to win Cup as player AND coach for the same team
• The roster built to last — Stankoven, Blake, Jarvis, Nikishin, and the goaltending tandem most GMs would kill for
• Is the rest of the hockey world stunned?
• Does Rod get a statue?

🏆 Championship Celebration: Saturday June 20, 11 AM, Downtown Raleigh.
