    E-15-From Navy Decks To Small-Town Legends: Jerry Flynn's Wild, True Tales

    Send us a text Press play on a living time capsule: we set out to record our parents before the details slip away, and Jerry shows why it matters. From a slick-tired Plymouth that fishtailed into a power pole and blacked out half a town to a Navy career that made Japan home port as Vietnam heated up, this conversation swings between laugh-out-loud mischief and moments that make the room go still. Jerry’s fear of needles meets the blunt efficiency of shot lines, and his sea stories carry the hum of engines, the order of decks, and the snap of new orders after Kennedy’s assassination. Then comes the memory that lingers: responding to a jet crash off Hong Kong, laying an American flag on a small boat so a burned, drowned body wouldn’t stick to the deck, circling the seawall while fuel floats on the water and bureaucracy waits on a coroner. It’s raw, unvarnished, and deeply human. The shoreline isn’t softer. We tumble through harvests and flipped combines on a ballfield, a Mercury flying dark between two parked cars at 2 a.m., a shop fire that races down an intake, and a prankster launching a PVC “missile.” Jerry maps the people and places that defined a small Texas town: segregation across the tracks, a water man who knew every hidden valve, and a hospital stitched together from old Air Force barracks. By the end, the stories stack into a portrait: a .22 Magnum “quick draw” that leaves a scar and 21 days in a hospital bed, beer money made by selling the gun, and a family line that stretches from sons to great-grandkids. It’s memory saved in full color—Navy veteran stories, small-town Texas legends, farm accidents, Hong Kong crash recovery, and the humor that keeps you going. If you’ve ever wished you hit record on your elders, this is your nudge. Listen, share with someone who needs a reason to ask better questions, and leave a review to help more families capture their own stories.

    E-14-Floods, Fear, And Finding Faith

    Send us a text A wall of water doesn’t just drown a town; it floods your sense of what’s true. We start with the kind of storm that makes familiar roads vanish, cabins blow open, and counselors write kids’ names on their arms in the dark. From there, we widen the lens: cloud seeding claims, emergency warnings that never arrived, and the uncomfortable space where “coincidence” meets “we should’ve known.” Along the way, we share the clips you can’t shake—bridges roaring, strangers pulling off impossible rescues, homes shoved off concrete like they were never anchored at all. That urgency collides with deeper questions. How many times can institutions say “act of nature” while avoiding the paperwork that might save lives? Who gets dry lakes refilled and who gets told to wait? And when doubt creeps in, what holds—policy, prayer, or people who still show up? We move through grief and faith with no easy answers: stories of prayer that eased pain in minutes, and a mother’s heartbreaking “why” when the water took her girls. This isn’t neat. It’s the human tangle of tragedy, meaning, and the stubborn hope that refuses to die. Then we confront the modern flood: AI. Not as a gadget, but as a force that centralizes memory, blurs truth, and threatens to erase the things that make us human—original thought, local wisdom, and the sacred. If a model answers everything, it can also deny everything. So we talk about keeping real books, touching real work, and refusing to outsource conscience to a black box. We close with what grounds us: early alarms, simple routines, neighbors who still knock, and faith practiced in the open. Hit play if you’re ready for a gritty, honest ride through storms, suspicion, and the choices that define us—and then share your line between skepticism and hope.

    E-10-The Devil's Work and God's Promises: Faith in the Face of Hardship

    Send us a text What begins as a casual podcast episode transforms into a profound spiritual journey after a listener shares her devastating story of loss. Twenty years ago, her 11-year-old son was killed in a shooting accident, and since then, her family has experienced what she describes as the devil's continued work in their lives – including miscarriages, health issues, and generational struggles that seem almost supernatural in their timing and nature. The hosts respond with remarkable vulnerability, exploring the very real spiritual warfare many of us face without fully recognizing it. "If you think the devil's on top of you, then you better get the Lord on top of you," one host observes, cutting straight to the heart of how we navigate life's darkest moments. This statement becomes the touchstone for a wide-ranging conversation about faith, evil, and the unseen forces that shape our experiences. From there, the conversation ventures into fascinating territory – ancient biblical texts, giants who once walked the earth, angels who interacted with humans, and how these stories connect to modern spiritual struggles. The hosts skillfully weave between theological depth and practical wisdom, making complex spiritual concepts accessible through storytelling and personal reflection. They discuss the Book of Enoch, the Nephilim, and other biblical accounts often overlooked in conventional religious discussion. What makes this episode particularly compelling is its unflinching look at human nature. The hosts break down how people operate from either selfishness or active malice, describing how "the tyranny of evil men" manifests in everyday interactions. Their candid admissions about their own battles with negative thinking patterns (what one calls "neurosis") creates an intimate connection with listeners facing similar struggles. The episode concludes with a soul-stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace," perfectly encapsulating the journey from spiritual bondage to freedom through faith. Whether you're wrestling with personal tragedy, questioning the nature of good and evil, or simply seeking deeper spiritual understanding, this conversation offers both comfort and challenge for the journey ahead. Join us for an episode that might just change how you view the spiritual dimensions of your own life story.

    E-11-Shadows That Whisper: Personal Ghost Stories and Paranormal Experiences

    Send us a text Something shifts in the air when you step into an abandoned hospital. The whispers of the past seem to linger in every corner, making even the bravest souls question what might be watching from the shadows. In this deeply personal episode, we gather in the old Chillicothe Hospital to share the supernatural encounters that have shaken our understanding of reality. Eric takes us through his bone-chilling experience working alone on New Year's Eve, when unexplained noises and mysteriously opening doors made it clear he wasn't truly alone. The hair-raising details of objects falling repeatedly from shelves with no explanation will make you think twice about dismissing those strange sounds in your own home. From the whistling ghost that follows a high school football game to a Ouija board session that left participants stranded in a cemetery with their car mysteriously locked, each story builds upon a shared understanding that some things simply defy logical explanation. We explore the fine line between benevolent spiritual encounters—like the patient who reached out from beyond to offer comfort during a medical crisis—and malevolent forces that seem determined to cause harm. The conversation takes unexpected turns, including the tale of a mysterious carpenter who created an architectural marvel before vanishing without a trace, and a cursed wooden gargoyle that refused to be destroyed even by fire. Each story serves as both entertainment and warning about the unseen forces that might be operating just beyond our perception. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, these firsthand accounts from ordinary people in small-town Texas will make you question what exists beyond our understanding. Listen with the lights on—and maybe check that your doors are locked.

    E-9-Grief, God, and Guitar: Navigating Loss with Friends

    Send us a text Raw, unfiltered, and straight from an abandoned hospital in Chillicothe, Texas comes one of our most emotionally charged conversations yet. This episode strips away pretense as we navigate the complex terrain of grief, faith, and finding meaning after devastating loss. Fresh from attending a funeral, we dive into the uncomfortable realities of how we process death differently. Zach courageously shares his ongoing journey through grief after losing his children, exposing the anger, spiritual questioning, and daily battles that persist long after others expect healing to have occurred. His candid admission—"I get angry at God"—despite being what he calls "a 100 percenter" in his faith, creates space for listeners wrestling with similar contradictions. The conversation takes a turn toward the isolating aspects of profound grief, particularly how social interactions become complicated when well-meaning people don't know what to say. "Don't ask me how I've been," Zach suggests, highlighting the impossible choice between honesty that makes others uncomfortable or platitudes that feel dishonest to one's experience. What truly sets this episode apart is the music. Throughout our discussion, Zach performs several soul-stirring songs including "Peace in the Valley" and "Amazing Grace," each triggering palpable shifts in the emotional atmosphere. These musical interludes demonstrate what words alone cannot express—the therapeutic power of artistic expression amid overwhelming pain. Throughout it all runs a thread of genuine friendship and the understanding that healing isn't about returning to who we were before loss, but finding ways to carry our grief while still creating moments of meaning. As one poignant exchange reveals: "We don't want to be remembered, we just don't want to be forgotten." Listen, reflect, and perhaps find some comfort in knowing you're not alone in your darkest moments.

    E-8-Small Town Stories: JT's Deportation & His Return to Texas

    Send us a text Some friendships transcend time and distance. In this nostalgia-soaked reunion episode, we connect with JT Thompson, who joined us from Scotland to recount his journey from British schoolboy in 1980s rural Texas to his current life as a deep-sea diving technician in the North Sea. The conversation flows like the bottles of vodka we reminisce about—with pour tops removed for maximum effect—as we travel back to our teenage years in Chillicothe. JT takes us through his arrival in fifth grade, his struggles to be understood through his British accent, and the gradual way he became part of our small-town tapestry. Through stories of campouts gone wrong, cars with mysteriously failing axles, and late-night escapades that somehow never ended in serious trouble, we recreate a world before cell phones documented every misstep. The narrative takes unexpected turns as JT reveals how the aftermath of 9/11 changed his American trajectory forever. After losing his job at a travel agency, encountering legal troubles from a DUI, and watching his car mysteriously burn "to a husk," he found himself returning to the UK—only to discover he couldn't easily come back due to outstanding warrants. What followed was years of legal limbo before statutes of limitations finally cleared his path. Today, JT leads an extraordinary life maintaining pressure chambers on deep-sea diving vessels, working month-long shifts across the world's oceans and encountering adventures in places like Norway, Vietnam, and the Congo that are somehow even wilder than our teenage exploits. His global perspective brings new color to our shared childhood memories and reminds us how differently life can unfold from the same starting point. Whether you grew up in a small town, navigated life between two cultures, or just appreciate authentic conversation between old friends, this episode captures the special magic that happens when paths diverge but stories still intertwine. Subscribe now to hear more unfiltered conversations that bridge the gap between who we were and who we've become.
