And honestly, the boys weren’t about to interrupt — because Rusty came loaded with stories. Rusty dives deep into his life, including his time serving in Vietnam as a Lieutenant in the Air Force, where he shares firsthand stories about being drafted, following in his father’s footsteps, and multiple moments where he was nearly shot out of the sky. It’s raw, intense, and fascinating — a life experience far removed from anything Parks and Shane have known. The episode also covers:  ✈️ What it was like being drafted and serving in Vietnam  📸 Rusty bringing in old family photos — some dating back to the 1800s 🏌️ Letting the boys know just how bad they are at golf (and that they’ll never beat him) ❤️ Pride, perspective, and family history across generations This isn’t your typical Bonifay Banter episode — but it’s a powerful one.
