We talked to off road racer Kyle Craft a few weeks ago and we discussed the trophy truck side of things but Garrett is a guy that had a dream of doing the Baja 1000 on two wheels, his motorcycle in the Ironman Division.

    Rick, Ricky and Garrett discuss how he dreamed of this adventure and how he attained his goals of not only racing in the Baja 1000 on a motorcycle in the Ironman Division but also finishing in the allotted time. They also discuss that anyone can chase their dreams if they have great people who support them and are wanting to help fulfill that dream.

  • Dan is a United States Air Force Veteran and former Law Enforcement officer. He also worked with Black Rifle Coffee Company and now is the Warrior Bonfire Communication and Outreach Director.

    This is a wide ranging conversation that not only raises awareness to Warrior Bonfire, a veterans organization aimed at helping veterans with Purple Hearts, but life after the military.

    The conversation is about how to be a better person and live our best lives. Dan, Ricky and Rick have some serious moments to some fun loving conversations. This conversation could have gone for hours as Rick and Ricky not only learned about Dan but also about themselves.

  • In this week's episode Rick and Ricky are joined by Sierra Abler, Rickā€™s niece as they recap the last ten episodeā€™s from a female listenerā€™s perspective. Sierra is a wife, mother and former elementary teacher who is on the road to getting her doctorate degree.
