    BTS - Episode 54 - "Character"

    What starts with a terrible podcast intro somehow turns into a conversation about character, leadership, and the choices that define us. In Episode 54, Cousin Vinnie and Uncle Mike mix humor, firehouse banter, and real-world lessons about integrity, accountability, and who you are when nobody’s looking. It’s mostly serious. Mostly.

    BTS - Episode 53 - "Parental Advisory"

    Quarterly newsletter time. Cousin Vinnie and Uncle Mike are finally back with Episode 53, “Parental Advisory.” From long gaps between episodes to NFPA moving faster than the podcast schedule, the guys pick right back up like they never left. Throw in some fire service sarcasm, questionable research projects, and the usual off the rails conversations, and you’ve got another classic Beyond the Stretch episode. Grab a drink and catch up with the chaos.

    BTS Episode 52 - BC Adam Oleszkowicz - "Half Way"

    Cousin Vinnie and Uncle Mike welcome Battalion Chief Adam Oleszkowicz to the garage for a rare guest appearance on Beyond the Stretch. With nearly 20 years in the fire service, Adam talks about good firefighters and officers who are willing to meet the organization halfway. The conversation dives into training, growth, and what it takes to keep getting better in the job. As always, expect a little wisdom, a little sarcasm, and the usual garage-level nonsense. 🚒🥃

    BTS - Episode 51 - "Menu"

    Back in El Garage for Season 5, Cousin Vinnie and Uncle Mike kick things off talking music, Olympic hype, and why Snoop Dogg somehow makes perfect sense as Team USA’s ambassador. Episode 51 brings laid-back firehouse vibes, random song debates, and the kind of off-the-rails conversations that only happen when the mics turn on. It’s laughter, perspective, and a little bit of “good life” energy.

    BTS - Episode 50 - "Open Mic"

    Episode 50 hits different. Cousin Vinnie and Uncle Mike celebrate the milestone with family in the room, twins in the mix, and a quick reminder that Beyond the Stretch is still “family-friendly” in 2026. There’s light banter, dad pride, reflective glasses, and a ceremonial pour of Eagle Rare as the guys keep it loose, unscripted, and exactly on brand.

    BTS - Episode 49 - "Unwilling"

    Episode 49 almost died thanks to bad whiskey, root beer, and a cursed SD card. But we’re back. Unwilling is firehouse chaos, family moments, and real talk you didn’t know you needed.

    BTS - Episode 48 - "Thermostat"

    In this episode, we toe the line of one of the edgiest firehouse roles—acting company officer. Uncle Mike throws down the challenge: Are you the thermostat or the thermometer? One sets the tone, the other just reacts. No fluff, no hand-holding. Just real talk, straight from the bunkroom. 🎙️ Hit play, and decide for yourself.

    BTS - Episode 47 - "AI"

    Yes, we went there. Uncle Mike was sober before the first sip of bourbon and got serious with AI. Don't worry we make sense of the technology and bring it back to firefighting - sort of.
