    Episode16 - Can You Fix It? Yes I Can!

    Get ready for Brad Coomes, a Kentucky-born welder, mechanic, volunteer policeman, and wrecker driver who embodies the true spirit of a "Jack of All Trades." But behind the heavy machinery, firearms, and rugged exterior lies a man widely described as a gentle "teddy bear." In this heartwarming and gritty episode, hosts Dan and Phil sit down with Brad to unpack a life built on hard work, grit, and an unwavering commitment to fixing things, whether it's a broken engine or a broken spirit. Brad shares how his Southern upbringing shaped his relentless work ethic, what it really means to choose to be a "dad" rather than just a biological father, and how his wife, Melissa, has been the anchor through every career shift. From nostalgic memories of camouflage shirts and gold loop earrings to watching the next generation inherit his mechanical spark, this episode explores the legacy of a man who builds, protects, and loves with everything he's got.

    Episode13 - Navy Bratz

    The mics are officially turned over! In this special episode of Catalyst Comms, we aren’t the ones telling the stories, we’re the ones answering for them. We’ve brought our kids into the studio to get the unfiltered, "from the upstairs hallway" perspective on growing up with two Navy dads who might have been a little too loud, a little too "happy" downstairs, and definitely a little too obsessed with the Kellys and Amber Lantern. From the sandy floors of beach houses to the chaotic reunions at Thanksgiving, our families have been intertwined for years. Today, we find out what it was really like for the kids who had to navigate our "Officer" voices and our questionable experiments with hot sauce.
