    The Khouri Brothers: Chaos, Success, and Everything In Between

    Brothers Eddie and Louie Khouri are the definition of two completely different roads leading to the same destination: success, chaos, and unforgettable stories. Eddie, the older brother, lived fast from a young age — running from the law, hanging with biker gangs, and building a reputation as the family outlaw before eventually finding financial success and becoming the key backer behind Louie’s groundbreaking dental invention, QuikStrips. Louie took a different route, wrestling at the University of Michigan before becoming a successful dentist, entrepreneur, and inventor. Together, the brothers turned QuikStrips into a massive success story. Today, Louie owns an incredible collection of sports and music memorabilia, multiple properties, and is building an outrageous dream man cave complete with a live music stage, golf simulator, casino games, humidor, industrial kitchen, coffee shop, and more. From wild stories and business wins to luxury living, younger women, and dreams of buying Hell, Michigan — the Khouri brothers live life at full speed.

    Things Heat Up With Detroit Firefighter Chris Palm

    On this episode of Ordinary Legends, we sit down with Detroit firefighter Chris Palm, a 2 decade plus veteran of the Detroit Fire Department who has lived through the kind of moments most people only see in movies. Following in the footsteps of his father, who was also a firefighter, Chris dedicated his life to serving the city of Detroit. Over the years, he’s saved countless lives, faced deadly situations head-on, and narrowly escaped losing his own life in the line of duty. From intense fire rescues to the emotional toll of the job, Chris opens up about what it truly means to wear the badge, the brotherhood of the fire service, and the realities most people never get to see. This is a raw, powerful conversation about courage, sacrifice, family legacy, and what it takes to survive one of the toughest jobs in America.

    Joey's Mom Hates The Podcast

    This week on The Ordinary Podcast, Joey and Danny are flying solo and covering everything from viral moments to completely unnecessary arguments. Producer Mark DiMaso joins the show and the guys look back at some of their favorite moments from recent episodes, react to USA Today’s Top 10 Fast Food Restaurants list, and decide what deserves legendary status… and what belongs in the trash. They also dive into the great cheesecake debate is it cake, pie, or something else entirely? And in one of the episode’s funniest moments, Joey attempts to figure out why his own mom can’t stand the podcast. A little nostalgia, a lot of laughs, and the kind of conversations that somehow go completely off the rails.

    Behind Funeral Home Doors: The Fascinating & Human Side of Saying Goodbye

    Behind every goodbye is a story most people never hear. On this episode of The Ordinary Legends, we sit down with John Campbell and Ashley Kroll of A.H. Peters Funeral Home, funeral directors and embalmers who have dedicated their lives to helping families through some of their hardest moments. This conversation goes far beyond funerals. John and Ashley open up about the emotional weight of their profession, the humanity behind the scenes, and the incredible responsibility of caring for families in grief. From unforgettable stories and life lessons to the realities of embalming, death, healing, and compassion, this episode pulls back the curtain on a world few truly understand. It’s raw, fascinating, emotional, and deeply human, a reminder that some of the most extraordinary people are the ones quietly serving others when they need it most.

    A Life Without Color: Brad Simon’s Incredible Perspective

    What would life look like if you could only see in black and white? In this episode of The Ordinary Legends Podcast, we sit down with Brad Simon, a guy with an extraordinary perspective. Literally. Brad is completely color blind, seeing the world without a trace of color. He opens up about the moment he realized his vision wasn’t like everyone else’s, what it was like growing up with that reality, and how it shaped the way he experiences life. But don’t get it twisted, this episode isn’t heavy, it’s hilarious. Brad shares unbelievable (and often laugh-out-loud) stories from his time at blind camp, navigating everyday situations most of us take for granted, and somehow… playing golf at a high level without being able to see color. From tracking balls to reading greens, you’ll be wondering how he does it and cracking up at the stories along the way. It’s real, it’s funny, and it’s a reminder that sometimes the biggest limitations can lead to the most unique perspectives. Tap in for a conversation that will have you laughing, thinking, and maybe even seeing the world a little differently.

    Chaos, Charisma & Cannoli Energy | Brandon Fromm

    Meet Brandon Fromm… or as most people around here would say, you already know Brandon Fromm. He’s the guy who walks into a room and instantly raises the energy. Loud in the best way, effortlessly hilarious, and unapologetically himself. A true local legend with a larger-than-life personality and an even bigger heart. In this episode of Ordinary Legends, Brandon takes us on a ride through his world. Growing up surrounded by family, stories that get better (and louder) every time they’re told, and a deep-rooted pride in his Italian heritage that shows up in everything he does. From unforgettable family moments to friendships that feel more like extended family, Brandon brings stories that will have you laughing, nodding, and maybe even calling your own relatives afterward. But it’s not all laughs, Brandon is also making a real impact in the community. As a board member of Angie’s Toy Chest, he’s helping lead a push for bike donations to put smiles on kids’ faces and make a difference where it counts. This episode is pure energy, real stories, and a reminder that being a legend isn’t about fame—it’s about how you show up for your people. Tap in. You’re going to love this one.

    The Truth About Starting This Podcast (It Wasn’t Smooth)

    Episode 6 is a little different—just Danny and Joey, no guest, no script… just chaos and a look behind the curtain. We’re recapping the wild ride of our first five episodes—how this podcast went from a random idea to actually happening, the obstacles we didn’t see coming, and the moments that almost sent us off the rails. From booking guests to figuring it out as we went, nothing has been as smooth as it looks (shocking, we know). We break down each episode, share some behind-the-scenes stories, and talk about where *The Ordinary Legends Podcast* is headed next. It’s honest, it’s a little all over the place, and it’s probably the most “us” episode yet.
