Stacie Bileyu is the kind of person you always, always want in your corner; from an early age she has felt the calling to stand up for the underdog and to speak truth to power. This indomitable spirit carries through in this long form conversation where we talk about her career as a lawyer, her journey into today and that which fuels her passionate soul. Please enjoy this conversation....we sure d...

Online discussions can often feel like a never ending episode of Jerry Springer complete with a lack of dental hygiene and a deep-seated desire to defend your decision to marry your cousin. Enter Brad Calbert, who runs the wildly popular WTF Springfield page on Facebook. I wanted a peek into the mindset of the ringmaster of this insane circus and along the way I met one of the most nuanced, intell...

WE'RE BACK, BAYBEEEE! After a hiatus since last September, I've moved/refreshed the podcast studio and who ELSE would I have on as the first guest of 2026? None other than the one and only Jeff Butler who weighs in on current geo-political events with his nuanced style. We're also visited by a NEW guest, Ms. Sea Jane, a doctoral candidate with the wit and banter that fits well into our flow. Pleas...

Here we go! Jeff Butler, former Navy SEAL, CIA Field Officer & current Battalion Chief of the SFD hops back on the show to give his thoughts on Travis & Taylor, his desire to be a motivational speaker and call me a slut. A little later we delve into intelligence breaches, South Park hot takes, why conservatives seem to love fascism, corporate cow-towing and Tesslers. 

Welp....she's back! 6' Katie The Shady Lady sits down for another round of Super Single Sunday and we go deep over our latest relationship flameouts on muggy afternoon, where we really end up landing on that old adage: K.I.S.S. or "Keep It SINGLE, Stupid". Turns out....sometimes we're the stupid ones. 

NSFW!! ADULT CONTENT  This one gets straight nasty, friends! I once again talk to Six Foot Katie The Shady Lady where we talk about navigating the dating world, public fiascos and, why not, junk pictures that get sent. Please enjoy this unabashed peek into the warped minds of two wandering souls!

This month's edition of Super Single Sunday is a slightly more muted affair, but hits a wide range of topics from situationships to "is that creepy or sweet" to just how much communication does it TAKE for you? As always, 6' Katie The Shady Lady rides shotgun and offers up a much better take than I can, but then again.....I have cats. So tune in!

They don't get more original than Kelly Cardin and I'm stoked he's come back on the show to cover a wide range of what's on his mind. The first half of the show is all about the fire service, getting older and how that feels. In the second half we tackle the hot topic of our times: politics. It's fiery, fun-filled and a good time that doesn't go off the rails as much as you might think! Cheers!

Valentines Day has come and gone and on this episode of the show, Katie and I sit down and discuss romance, kinky Valentines, dating fiascos and a real winner of a tech glitch at the end. It's a hot mess, just like us I suppose. Enjoy!

Daron Evans is a friend, former co-worker and current Captain on the City of Springfield Fire Dept. As these current times are as politically charged more than we've known in our lifetimes, Daron offers up a nuanced view of how the Evangelical right has overtaken the notion of the Christian faith in the eyes of many, myself included. We sit down for a fun, thought-provoking conversation that I thi...

Welp.....we're back! Tony, Jeff & I get into all things political, a little of the fire service and just three dudes having a talk. So good to be back!

What's a rational conservative to do in the Trump Era, where bullying is the norm and facts are massaged to fit your narrative? Well, that's what Justin Hollis and I began to explore as two friends landing on different sides of the line who actually have more in common than not. In this first episode we talk about modern politics as little more than professional wrestlin'. Enjoy the show, with a m...

Mike Holmes (aka Mike The Intern) is an absolute treasure trove of so much knowledge.....from Japanese album covers to KC Chiefs minutiae, from conspiracy theories about Ohio's "trash" reputation to the anti-Semitism of Roger Waters, if it's a subject of interest, he's well-versed. We hit it all in this fun romp, with music provided by Mike's own band "Muzzle", playing "The First Guy I Ever Punche...

On a fun and sloshy romp, Six Foot Katie The Shady Lady and I talk about all things innocuous, from removing a bondage kit from your bedroom before your folks come over to what are the things that make you go "ick" about people. She is NOT a fan of jorts, dating profile pics taken from "below" and I am not a fan of vaping, moms who call themselves "momma bear" online when trying to flex and "I onl...

With all of the chaos going on in Israel and Gaza, I invited Jeff Butler back for the 657th time to try and break down some of the backstory as to what is going on; of course, there are no "easy" answers, but he does a fantastic job of explaining some of the baseline issues. We also discuss a leaderless House of Representatives and how an America-centric lens is a foggy way to look at world geo-po...

Lane Walden is a retired firefighter from the Springfield Fire Dept. who has a unique perspective on just about everything.
