Called all my Wisconsin Congressman and Women, and Senators to express my overwhelming disappointment and disapproval for the Public Land Sell Off Bill that was introduced by Senator Mike Lee of Utah. Call your reps!

In this episode I called every Wisconsin Senator and Congressman and Woman to voice my disapproval for Senator Mike Lee's Bill. I even called Mike Lee's office, his phones were off, big surprise.

I sat down with some of my favorite duck hunters and guides from the Horicon Marsh Veterans Hunt — Mike Vandervest, Michael Koerber, and Dan Riese. We went two hours non-stop talking duck and waterfowl hunting, swapping stories, roasting each other, and sipping whiskey in honor of The Duck Commander himself, Phil Robertson. These three guys helped me fall in love with duck hunting — grateful for the laughs, the lessons, and the good times.

Great podcast with Josh Schoemann for Governor Josh was previously on the podcast. He is an Iraq war veteran was apart of the invasion and is Washington County Executive. Josh is campaigning for Governor of Wisconsin. We have so much love and appreciation for this state. We love small diners for breakfast, hunting, and our veterans. I don’t do much about politics but this was more about getting to know him as a potential governor. Lots of fun and laughs

I called some fellow veterans to ask them how they celebrate and what Memorial Day means to them.  Memorial Day 2025 Today, we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything for this nation. Their sacrifice is the foundation of our freedom. To all veterans, families, and supporters of the Fragout Podcast—thank you for standing with us as we remember the fallen and carry forward their legacy with purpose, unity, and respect. Never forgotten. Always honored.

Incredible podcast with My British Family My sister Tanya her kids Ryan and Alexa. We did a nice podcast about the story of finding each other through DNA testing. I’ve grown up knowning nothing about my father and I’ve only had 1 picture of him. Tanya has provided 50+ more pictures and tons of stories ans facts about my dad. It’s been something I’ve always wondered about my whole life. We both knew each other exist but didn’t have full names or updated information. I’ve spent the last 11 days with them taking them all over Wisconsin.
