Got 5 minutes to spare? Allow me to introduce myself to you and this fun little adventure.

For the inaugural episode of this I am joined by my good friend and lifting bro and all around great guy Joe Browne. Joe is a pseudonym for reasons related to his occupation. Armed with an unrelenting attitude towards life and a work ethic to match. We discuss the Military, Fatness to Fitness, Martial Arts, and the worst day of the week has a saving grace. Hint: it’s alliteration. This is definitely the opening salvo of Joe expect to hear more from him.

Gabe is an all around awesome human and a coworker of mine at an undisclosed environmental company. Naturally jovial by nature, you cant help but catch his love for life. He is many things but first and foremost i think he would describe himself as a family man. We discussed a lot and i cannot do justice to the man as he describes himself eloquently enough.

Episode 4 is the lifelong tale and struggle of a man who single handedly brought the cinematic masterpiece trilogy to the masses of waiting and adoring Russians known as Star Wars. This episode is peppered with other quips and giggles but my god will you enjoy this one or we find out you’re not human. You can find him on Instagram @trippainsworth, and also his website www.smokepitfairytales.com.

Lee Bates started his career in the working world as a V-22 osprey flightline Mechanic. He left his native Texas for the bright lights and debauchery of J-Vegas where we eventually worked in the same shop. After military service and wandering through careers in waste water, fixing harleys, and unwillingly transporting illegal "trespassers" on trains, Lee found himself seduced by a hairdresser while mild manneredly trying to restock a beer fridge after a long night of work. Don't worry this is all a good thing as it led to marriage, kids, and moving to Wisconsin. Using all of his previously gained knowledge of mechanics and water he landed a job in the cheese service industry. along the way we laugh tell stories, talk shop about who's hot and who's not and go all in on the greatness of Seese.
