Pool Party with Jennifer Ross Cabe
Brandons 45th birthday has come and gone but that doesn't mean we didn't celebrate. We set up at our buddy Paul's house and setup the podcast equipment under the canopy for the poolside of the party.
Grilling was going down all day and so was the pop shots at different branches, we had all military branches covered at this party minus the Coast Guard.
Jennifer sat down with us to discus her life in the Air Force. Retiring just a couple years ago, Jennifer achieved the rank of Chief Master SGT and lived all over the world in her career.
As always good times and lots of fun were had by all.

That Makes a C-Note
Hey Hey we made it! Episode 100 and it has everything that the Grunts in Appalachia have ever done! There's a crazy story time about the festivities that took place while Brandon was on Vacation in Lake of the Ozarks. It just so happens that two of his compadres that were there at the lake were also on this episode. Introducing Paul and Travis both veterans, Paul a retired Army First Sgt. Travis served in the Air Force. Both add not only some clarity but also some flare to the stories of their feats at the lake.
In Walks Dave Denning, a repeat offender on the show. Dave opens up on the second half and really talks about the vaccines, hospital shortages the mask mandates and hospital policies. It was pretty cool to hear about these things from a doctor that now sees things differently looking in hind sight.
Lots of laughs and some interesting topics are covered on this episode.

Title 42 Expired Here Comes the Wave of Illegal Immigration
Gorgeous George and John sit down in Boots Spirits and Feed, an awesome country western bar in downtown Huntington, WV.
Topics of disscussion were a little more on the serious note this week with some jumbled humor. There's so much going on in the world it's hard not to talk about the daily hot button issues. The expiration of Title 42 and the stats of illegal immigrants coming through our Southern border are staggering to say the least. We jumped all over it and gave our 2 cents on it of course.
Climate change and what in the world is going on down in South Africa, maybe something worthwhile to hear about since it might be happening in the near future here in America.
Wellness Check was great this week and its something that everyoen should start to implement in their daily lives so we can have a better world and more productive people.
Take a listen and let us know what you think, we love the feedback. If you havnt followed us on your favorite platform please do, you don't want to miss any upcoming content.
