013 Mea Culpa

We combine two of Fred’s podcasts into one monster podcast; the No Ordinary BeachBox. Damian joins us as we discuss the attitude of nothing ever being your fault and taking personal responsibility for your actions. To either live life as a slave to circumstances out of your control or to live life as a king (or queen) of a world you create.

 

012 Twinkie

Fred and I recently went to A Shared Universe Podcast Studio and did a podcast with Ming Chen (no relation). We talk hockey, kid’s menus, traveling, and share some stories from the job.

 

011 Where Angels Play

Some truly extraordinary people join us on the podcast today to talk about the Where Angels Play Foundation; an organization that brings healing and hope to communities by building playgrounds in memory of those of us who left too soon. We interview Bill Lavin and learn of his inspiring story of starting the foundation; we also speak with two genocide survivors from Rwanda and learn important life lessons along the way.

 

010 Different Strokes

In this podcast, Damian, Fred, and I talk about the different types and goals of fitness. Fred goes on about his huge crush on Christmas Abbott. I also talk about the time I drank urine (an accident I swear).

 

009 That Poop Will Overflow the Toilet

Juan joins us today to talk about his career as a firefighter and the shenanigans that firefighters get into, such as pranking each other and problems with the toilets.

 

008 The Gun Problem

Guns have taken center stage once again after another senseless mass shooting. States across the country are attempting to pass legislation calling for stricter gun control in the hopes of preventing another tragedy from occurring. In this podcast we discuss our thoughts on guns and what we believe can be done to stop the violence. If you have problems with what we said or would like to debate, please leave a comment.

 

007 Animals

Our friend and co-worker Damian joins us on the show today and tells his story about how and why became a firefighter. We also talk about women, school, stresses of the job, and share some stories from the job dealing with animals.

 

006 Everything Will Happen To You Until You Decide Otherwise P2

Part 2 of Everything Will Happen To You Until You Decide Otherwise explores the political history of Venezuela that led it to its current state.

 

005 Everything Will Happen To You Until You Decide Otherwise P1

This is part 1 of 2 of our first interview with my good friend Daniel. In this episode we talk about the struggles of life, the importance of hard work, the strength of the human spirit, and hear Daniel’s incredible and inspirational story of how he got to where he is today. In part 2 of this interview, we discuss the situation in Venezuela (Daniel’s native country). We hope you enjoy this episode and will find inspiration in the steadfastness of the human spirit against adversity.

 

004 Decay

In this podcast, we discuss aspects of the Stoic philosophy, life/death, and personality types. We also introduce Fred’s new free workout plan which you can find here.

The organization started after the Sandy Hook tragedy and they sought to honor the memories of those killed by building a playground in their honor.

Today we discuss laws, morality, and ethics. Pretty serious stuff.
