The Stage

For the last episode of the year, I wanted to thank everyone who has been a part of The Stage. I want to tell you about future podcast and also record for the first time with the upgraded equipment. I hope 2025 is the best for you all yet, thank you for listening!

We stroll down memory lane with two of my favorite people. These guys are my cousins and we always laugh a ton together. This episode was edited by Kevins son, Blake. He is 12 years old and has an extremely bright future.

This episode I talk with Crystal Henson, we discuss some of our time in school together, being a nurse during the pandemic, and a near death experience. Crystal is my first female guest, who's episode was semi hijacked by cats.

In this episode I give an update on my life and the direction of the podcast through the holidays.

This episode I talk to one of my best friends Shane Dodd. We discuss our long friendship, us going to bootcamp together, and what I believe is his calling....being a foster parent.

This episode I talk to Marine Corps veteran Bill Long. We discuss his time in the Corps, his time as a police officer, and his insane love of Halloween......and me crawling through the woods finding my phone, that I didn't put there.

I talk with my cousin and one of my best friends Brett Aday, also unfortunately nick named Diddy. We talk about our friendship, how we found out we are related, and his recent medical diagnosis.

Note: we talk about something from 20 years ago that I wouldn't do today:)

This episode I talk with Tyler Thomas. We talk about our quick friendship, his time in the ARMY National Guard and his will to be successful and his beautiful family.

This is my first ever recorded episode, before the podcast had a name. In this episode we talk very briefly about the night before recording, which was wild and didnt want to get to detailed about. we also talk about a deployment in the middle east, our time in Okinawa, and Stan catching our friends hair on fire.

In this episode we discuss how Brooks leadership changed when being put in his first field unit, also we talk about an unfortunate situation that happened in Jungle Warfare Training and very bad tattoo choice.
