This week we are joined by Nikki Stouffer, Mom of two and resident of South Jersey. Nikki founded the New Jersey Project, a nonprofit organization, with the goal of restoring the morals and values of the state of New Jersey. By occupation, Nikki is a Medical Bio Statistician who does statistical analysis for clinical trials and population health data. The story begins in early 2020 during the pandemic as Nikki saw the data for what it was and not what was being told to the population. Despite constant social media bans and harassment for not wearing masks in stores, Nikki did not back down because she understood the importance of fighting for the freedom of the people, especially the children. Thus, Nikki and another mother started The New Jersey Project with the intent of unmasking the children within her community. Since then, the project has expanded to all areas such as but not limited to: 1) stopping the sexualization of children in schools, 2) election integrity, and 3) environmental issues. We spoke about the previous three issues with a majority focus on topic #1. Nikki shared herd "live and let live" mentality as well as her views about family values in our society. One thing we noticed, is that Nikki has the heart of a warrior and the energy never to quit. There are a lot of funny moments in this episode, especially when she recounts the story of being visited by the Department of Homeland Security.

In addition, you can follow them on Instagram @New_Jersey_Project. Please sit back and enjoy!

This week we have another duo episode with Joe and Jon. We discuss some important updates to the show regarding its future and then chat about some recent events. First, we speak about the apocalyptic scenery outside due to the Canadian Wildfires (this show was recorded one day after the fires started). We then discuss Joe becoming an Uncle and meeting the President at a wedding. We have some cool guests coming on to share rad stories, so stay tuned for that. Please enjoy.

This week we sat down and spoke with the founders of Dad and Ryan's Birch Beer LLC, Ryan and Mike Kovach. Mike and Ryan are father and son, who set out on an adventure when they opened their own birch beer company out of their home-kitchen in 2018. The story began when Ryan, who is now fifteen years old, would help his father at the firehouse by washing the fire trucks; as "payment" for his services, Ryan would enjoy some birch beer. Ryan fell in love with the taste and decided that the best way for him to enjoy some more would be to make his own. In true entrepreneurial fashion, Ryan and his Dad started from scratch and through rigorous trial and error, found the perfect recipe. While the story of a fifteen-year-old entrepreneur is impressive, the mission behind the company is incredible as a portion of the proceeds goes toward Unique, an organization who supports those affected by rare chromosome and gene disorders. We really enjoyed hearing Ryan's story and learning more about his life and goals for the future of his company. To support Dad and Ryan's Birch Beer, you can go to bestbirchbeer.com or visit the Dad and Ryan's Birch Beer Facebook page to learn more about their mission. Sit back and enjoy the show!

This week we spoke with our friend Pat Meyer. Pat is a friend from the Pure MMA community, who recently opened up about events that occurred in his childhood and adolescent years. This episode opens up with a banger as Pat dives right into the story, revealing that he was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his head. If this isn't tragic enough, doctors believed this was what caused him to develop epilepsy in his left frontal lobe at four years old. Pat then entered a very difficult time in his life as we would experience seizures on a regular basis (sometimes upwards of forty in one day). These seizures subjugated Pat to becoming a victim of bullying. At nine years old, and by a miracle from God, the seizures stopped. We will let Pat tell you that part because it will definitely send chills up your spine. Although Pat was cured, the bullying followed him up until high school where there was a shift in his persona. Years of being picked on made Pat insecure and he started picking fights with people bigger than him. Pat became the troublemaker and would bully the bullies. After many years, Pat finally found Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, which helped him calm down and start a straight path for himself. Pat's story will make you realize that bullies are a product of trauma and need help too. Sit back and enjoy!

This week we recorded another duo episode straight off the cuff, which is always a unique circumstance. Sometimes having no plan is better because the conversation flows naturally. We share some funny stories from our lives which includes sleep walking escapades (you'll want to hear these), buying houses, living with your significant other, reincarnation and much more. Having a blast recording these shows and always want to stress our gratitude to both the listeners and viewers. We please ask that you share the show with family and friends. In addition, please like, subscribe, and comment on our Youtube to help the algorithm.

This week we welcome back for a third time, Dr. Gus Mouhtis, who is a clinical and forensic psychologist. Gus was a guest on episodes ten and eighteen, so if you have not listened to those already, we strongly suggest you do. Gus is one of our favorite guests to have on because he's always very positive but also frank, who never shies away from sharing his opinions. We spoke about a number of great topics that are occurring in society such as: pedophilia, mental health, relationships, the introduction of AI, and propaganda. One of the intriguing parts of this episode is hearing Gus's interactions with pedophile patients of his and what he believes is the best approach to take. However, the most important takeaway is Gus's message about staying united as a people regardless of differing opinions. This and always being there to help others. Please sit back and enjoy the show!

This week we had our friend Mike Amoresano "Amore" on the show. Mike is part of the Pure MMA community and has been since 2015, when he fell in love with mixed martial arts and Muay Thai. Mike shares a heart-felt story about his late father which he attributes to his love of and success in the sport. We chat predominantly about MMA / Muay Thai and about some of his fights both the good and the bad. Mike also shares one of his philosophies in life which is to "do it scared", an approach that Mike takes to succeed both inside and outside the fighting world. Mike also shares a funny story about meeting and hanging out with the legendary Muay Thai fighter, Rodtang, which you will want to hear. To give you an idea of how significant this is; meeting Rodtang as a Muay Thai fan is equivalent to meeting Tom Brady as a Football fan. Finally, we have a brief discussion about faith and how it applies to our lives. Please sit back and enjoy the show.

This week we had an inspiring conversation with our cameraman Jon Brown, who has also been filling in for Don. To start off, Jon's passion for filming has improved the visual aspect of the show, so if you have not watched our YouTube yet, we highly recommend you do. This week, I decided that it would be a great idea for Jon to share his life story since you will be hearing from him more often. Like many other guests on the show, Jon shared some personal events from his childhood, which helped shape who he is today, and we are grateful for it. The one thing about our guests that truly amazes me is how great they feel after sharing personal experiences that have been kept inside for so long. Jon grew up in an interesting household to a strict, "tough-love" father and a mother who abused alcohol. Jon was eventually confronted with his father's infidelity, which was the cherry on top because his father preached good family values his entire life. Despite all of this, Jon was able to keep a somewhat positive mindset through his teen years and into adulthood and turned many negatives into positives. This story, however, is better when you listen from his lips so sit back and enjoy!

Today, Joe drops the very first solo episode, discussing some disturbing news from Roxbury High School in which the school and board of education thought it was okay to have books depicting pornographic images to kids. Joe shares some of his thoughts and some actions that should be taken. The video to which Joe refers can be found on the Instagram page @New_Jersey_Project. Like we say, the show is about being real and making you think, so this is definitely worth speaking about. Really think about what is going on here.
