Season 1

Okinawa Brothers Booker and Underwood Part 1 from Clemson S.C.

This episode I talk with Brooks Booker and Jeff Underwood, they came from Quantico VA to Okinawa Japan together for their last year of their first enlistment in the Corps. Had a great time hanging out with these guys that weekend and telling old funny stories. This is part 1 of 2.

My first USMC Fleet NCO Jeff Underwood

This episode we traveled to Clemson South Carolina to meet with Jeff Underwood, I hadn't seen Jeff in 24 years. We had a great weekend, sometimes we talk about stuff before the podcast and maybe there is more you'd like to hear but some things are better left in our circle. Jeff was the first Non Commisioned Officer I met in Okinawa and he made a lasting impression on me and I take that with me everyday of my life. Jeff was an outstanding Marine leader and great man, very appreciative for him spending the weekend with us for the podcast.

Restaurant? That says retirement, dumb ass.

Its been longer than I'd like since I've posted an episode. I've been busy trying to build another business and life gets little crazy. Some fun stuff planned for The Stage this year tho, I would like to thank my cousins and two of my best friends for helping me out. We laughed alot on this one, I definitely needed it, hope you all enjoy it.

Climb to the roof and jump off!

This episode I talk with Marcos Arredondo. We served in the Marine Corps together on the 31st MEU. Dondo, as we call him has been of one of my closest friends for over 20 years. We dive into his life and talk about some fun times. Dondo and his wife Ivonne have been huge blessings in my life, im extremely thankful for them.

Being recalled after 9/11

This episode I talk with Brad Sexton, we served together in Okinawa. Brad is a little different though, he was recalled back to the USMC after 9/11. He has a more unique story than many. We had a blast recording this, I have a feeling there will be some pictures of us playing golf together this summer.

Marine Corps League #1477 Matthew Conely Detachment

This episode I talk with Tommy Oswalt and Rickey Keeton, they are two of the founding members of the local Marine Corps League in Sheffield Al. You get to know them and their background a little and then we talk about the mission of the Marine Corps League. I've known both of these men for years and I can tell you that our community, especially our veteran community is better off because of them. I appreciate them having me at THE POUND to record this episode. Didn't have my regular producer with me when I travel, thank you Jacob Watson for being there in case things didn't work.

You Lead from the Front

This episode I talk with Tommy Fahy, we served on Okinawa together in 2002. Tommy was deployed to Iraq two times, on his second deployment was injured and received the Purple Heart. The Corps survives because of Marines like Tommy, the Corps survives because of past great leaders.

Year ender- CrapChat

For this episode I talk with my closest friends and we shoot the breeze while we finish up the year. 2025 was great year for us here and it wouldn't be possible without you all. we cant wait for 2026, we hope you have Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will see you the 3rd week in January.

Be Ready Always

On this episode I talk with my dad about a business venture and his new podcast, Be Ready Always. His first episode is live and available on the same streaming platforms where you find The Stage.

Happy 250th Birthday Marines!

This episode we celebrate the Marine Corps birthday, I thought about this one a lot, maybe too much. As soon as I started I was hit with a wall of anxiety! It's not what I wanted it to be but it rarely goes as planned here on The Stage. Happy birthday Marines, wherever you may be.
