James Spencley is on the show but because today (April 14th) is my birthday he is asking questions and giving me room to talk. Always a lot of laughs having Spencley on and today was no different.

Brothers weekend 2024! We met up in Phoenix, AZ. Went to a few spring training games, I hit up the casino and donated some money, we golfed. 

We cover a lot here like starting 5 on the Minong courts, Eric's car getting stuck and Big T getting him out only to have a mishap with it, and Eric tells the story of a jail escape now that he is retired. 

Enjoy the show.

Jeff Stone is on the show today.  I got introduced Jeff through Eric Schmitz to help with the campaign as our communications/marketing subject matter expert and he is one of the best. I sit down with Jeff today talking about his random walk through life - growing up in Northern VA, college radio DJ, working at CNN....and we didn't even get to the good stuff of him working at 5-hour Energy.  

Enjoy the show. -Brad

Mallory, I and the kids traveled back to WI to visit family. This time I brought the equipment to record a show with Dad - Tom Rykal!  Highly anticipated and he brought the heat.  Dad sits down and talks about his family, growing up in Cadott meeting Mom, the grocery store in Minong, kids shenanigans and a lot more. It was a lot of fun to record with Dad and my brother Kevin.  

I hope you enjoy the show. -Brad
