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

My guest is Max Lefcowitz is on the show. A few years younger than I am Max ran in different social circles with different class dynamics. He was on the football team and I also worked for his family at The Longbranch so we hung out a decent amount and always had a fun time around each other. We also talk about his book 'Relay' and how hard it is to write a book.   

Max brings a good perspective to the Minong series.  I hope you enjoy the show. -Brad

We have a great conversation about George growing up in FL, college, his career working with Pharma and Medical Companies before moving with his young family to Virginia to run Veritas.

My brothers and I met down in Tampa, FL for our annual brother's weekend. We went to some baseball games, golfed and made the casino regret letting us in.  

In this show we recap the trip and quickly roll into some stories about growing up like Eric being in some car crashes, Denninger gets a big shout out, Northwood locker wars, and the old Minong park basketball hall of fame.  

I hope you enjoy the show. -Brad
