BACK IT UP | 140: Who Wants to Drive In Snow?!
In episode 140: Who Wants to Drive In Snow?!; Brian and Shipper are joined, in studio, by returning guest, Daryl from episode 110! This show was BY FAR the longest episode we have ever recorded. So long, in fact, that we ended up splitting this show into two parts, that of which will air next week. This was a wild one with topics ranging from "why anyone would want to live in cold climates" to electric vehicles, and the like. As was the case last time Daryl was on, this episode is a banger. He has a lot to share, and we gave him all the time he wanted. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show!

BACK IT UP | 145: Iranian Border Travels
In episode 145: Iranian Border Travels; The guys (and Jack) chat with Seth, a US Army Reserves veteran, and truck driver, about his road to chimney sweep! In his early 20's Seth joined the Army Reserves after working in and around a Tyson plant for a couple years. During his time in service, he had several different jobs, landing in deployment as an 88M. This was where he gained his experience as a truck driver, while dealing with all of the difficulty of the many missions he was assigned to. Through his time in deployment Seth learned many valuable lessons, and eventually came back state side, and found himself in a veteran owned chimney sweep company. Seth had so many great stories, and we enjoyed hearing every one of them. We know you will too! Thanks for listening and enjoy the ride.
