Send us a Text Message.It's part two of our Memorial Day session. Stephen and I start things off with the latest proposition for the expansion of Idaho, which involves it taking almost half of Oregon as its territory. From there, we quickly get into the discussion of illegal immigration and other countries. Among various topics, we highlight the change and existence of culture-specific traditions, life styles, beauty standards, and suicide statistics. An interesting discussion we then get into is the ever-changing world of human language.Stephen stops to talk to Lil' Whiskey Shot again, which leads us into a conversation on animal consciousness and scientific experiments.To keep with the spirit of how most Americans celebrate Memorial Day, we get into barbecue.We get into Stephen's romance life, and he shares his prom experience- well, perhaps a lack-thereof. This leads us into some mild high school tales. This brings us to a discussion on neural-implants.Ms. Whitney joins us for some closing banter and stories.Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Send us a Text Message.Nothing more Patriotic than the first two episodes after the season four premiere being the two part Memorial Day special. Not that it was planned to be two episodes, but I didn't want to drop a 2.5 hour special on y'all.So, we start things off with a new guest on the show. Stephen is your average 9-to-5 civilian, here to share random current events and news with us, as well as a bit of history. Also joining us, The Slayer arrives, albeit a bit tired, fresh off of leave from a visit to Ohio to catch up with family.To get the show going, it's updates on The Slayer's romance life, and I recommend you check out some of the other episodes he's been in for a better understanding of the recent failures and successes that he's had.From there, I share with everyone the purpose and origin of Memorial Day, which gets things a bit somber and sad for a moment. We reflect on it.The episode then transitions into the convenience but difficulty of living at home or staying for an extended period of time. Specifically, we address the way that family dynamics change, especially if you are a member of the military. This includes the disconnect between parents and children once we get out of the house and are no longer forced to just have their perspective and values, and how they won't always like us once we start developing. We get into the changing culture and recruitment of the military, as well as society, before discussing the issues currently facing patriotism as well as national peace. One of the focus points is on the military's education  benefits.From there, we move onto different types of warfare and the morality behind it. There's commentary on employment and the expansion of remote work, as well as a discussion on the weaponization of pregnancy.Overall, there are plenty of jokes and laughs, but we do touch upon some serious subjects.https://www.cem.va.gov/history/Memorial-Day-History.aspEmail: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Send us a Text Message.Glory to God for three successful seasons, each one better than the last. I'm super excited for the new season and what's to come with it.We didn't have anything too special planned. What we did was put together reviews of the past three seasons, focusing on the key takeaways and lessons, as well as some of the funniest moments.There are blogs on my website that go into much greater detail about the reviews, and they don't have any sidetracking stories along the way if you want to get straight to the point. Be sure to check those out.Thank y'all for your continued support, and I look forward to Season 4 being the most impactful season yet.Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

He and I are not only celebrating the 100th episode of the show, but it's also our one year anniversary since we were separated from the United States Navy. It seems like both yesterday and forever ago that we were station together on the same ship after being two nukes who made it through the most challenging academic program in the world. (Or, at least the United States Navy.) Most failed or dropped out, but he and I were some of the only from our class to make it out to the fleet, where we spent time aboard a United States Aircraft Carrier.We spend most of our reunion off microphone, where we get into the more personal and horrific affects haunting us post-service. While some of that negativity is captured on the episode as we discuss our transition experience, we try to share the better parts of our freedom.After some catching up and complaints, it's time to play, Will You Press The Button?  Of course, that's a great time as always, and after that, we move into Two Cans And A String.I just want to thank y'all for the support, and I look forward to the continued growth of the show.Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Send us a Text Message.Today's episode features Shirley Buck, a life coach and author who shares with us a bit of her life story, along with plenty of advice.To start, she was born to deaf parents, which made her childhood a bit more difficult, as she served as their interpreter, and had to take on more responsibility than a child normally would. There was abuse in the household as well, including a confrontation with her mother that was extremely traumatic. For years, Shirley struggled with the use of negative de-stressors and coping methods to bury her trauma. Eventually, she connected with God, and started to turn her life around.Together, Shirley and I cover a variety of topics, including different ways of dealing with abuse and trauma, as well as how they affect us personally, ranging from our normal behavior to our relationships.https://www.shirleybuck.com/Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Send us a Text Message.Mike Van Pelt, host of the True Man Podcast, hops on the show today to share some amazing wisdom with us.After some small talk, we start with the evolving definitions of masculinity, from traditional ideals to newer concepts, addressing the balance between old and new ideals, focusing on the importance of authenticity and vulnerability. From there, we get into the role of faith and spirituality in defining masculinity, emphasizing the importance of intimacy with Christ in one's spiritual journey.Then, we get into the subject where many men are lacking- asking for help. However, these are essential traits in personal growth and masculinity. So, what stops men from asking for help? We explore the societal pressures and stereotypes that discourage men from seeking assistance and expressing vulnerability.We then emphasize the value of real, meaningful relationships over social media validation, encouraging face-to-face interactions and genuine connections, highlighting the pitfalls of social media culture and warning against comparing oneself to unrealistic standards and importance of discernment and self-discipline.Mike shares with us the idea of men's retreats, informing us on the significance of them and accountability partnerships in fostering personal growth and overcoming challenges. He highlights the value of listening, asking powerful questions, and being open to mentorship and guidance. Along with that aspect of community and accountability, we end things with the responsibility individuals have to support those in need, highlighting initiatives such as food banks and emphasizing the importance of giving back to the community.https://www.truemanlifecoaching.com/https://www.truemanpodcast.com/https://www.mikevanpeltauthor.com/Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Send us a Text Message.A spirit of appreciation: Defined (by me) as when you have the ability or make the conscious effort to be more thankful and grateful of the small blessings in life, the natural beauty of this world, and the way everything works, including the awful moments of our lives.In a world full of chaos and stress- more than ever before- it's so easy to get lost and to be ungrateful, losing sight of all that we have. I call upon all people to distinguish between wants and needs, helping open their eyes to what they already have rather than what they could have but don't need.Not only that, but I examine with y'all the idea of humbleness and how it can play into our spirit of appreciation, drastically improving our ability to be grateful.I also pull from the great wisdom of the Bible, examining how we can be grateful and appreciative of even the most tragic periods of our life.From journaling to nature-strolls, I cover a few ways to keep track of the small conveniences of life, our health, and what we are grateful for to help hold us accountable and keep ungratefulness, greed, and pride away.Surrender, by Rare of Breed:https://youtu.be/OLsZYExCfA4?si=CbeJ35jx2iZLVKB8Email: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of the podcast, I delve into the significance of "The Lone Sailor" and share personal reflections on my military journey, struggles with mental health, and the challenges of reintegration into civilian life.As y'all know, I've always been intrigued by the unique characters within the nuclear community. Despite some discouragement due to the toxicity of Nukes and their unavailability, I am still passionate about sharing their strangeness and struggles with the world. We're diving into some serious topics today, but as always, we're going to have a good time.Life and dating advice has kind of taken over the show, with Monday's being my serious content, and Friday's Davy Jones Locker Series being the satirical fun. Regardless, as the show evolves along with my journey with God, I'm making some changes, dialing back on the crude humor, and focusing more on meaningful conversations. It's a work in progress, but I'm excited about the direction we're headed in.Today's episode uses "The Lone Sailor" as y'all guessed from the series name. No, I'm not the Lone Sailor, but yes I also am. He is representative of some powerful emotions and lives, and we get into that. Again, I share a bit of my origin story, hinting at some of the hardships and triumphs that have led me to where I am today. With that, we get into some conversation on suicide, isolation, military life, and the way relationships change differently for military members after they move away from home.988 Suicide and Crisis Lifelinehttps://www.rachelburch.me/https://commitmenttogrowth.com/https://www.navymemorial.org/the-lone-sailorEmail: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

Kimberly Spencer, creator and host of Crown Yourself.  There, you'll find stories of transformation that uplift and inspire. #YASQUEEN.We start with tales of the joy of dancing, and our... not so pleasant encounters with it.Then, we get discussing how what we surround ourself influences us and our growth, not just in terms of the people in our life, but also everything online that we watch and listen to.Kimberly gets personal with us throughout the episode, sharing with us her struggles with her parents, her eating disorders, and the other issues she's faced throughout her life. However, she gives insight into how she chose to not wallow in a victim mindset as an excuse, and how she has become successful, and now spreads that power to others.We delve into the world of social media, tackling the modern issues and benefits of the widely used tool.  Directly related to this, we discuss parenting in this day and age, including how social media is changing everything. An important takeaway is the loss of appreciation and gratitude. Along with this, we discuss how parenting affects children, and how past relationships also have lasting effects.  In connection to both Kimberly's former eating disorder and the effects of social media, she shares with us self-consciousness, both her personal journey with it, and what we need to know about it.Plus, tons of other great advice.

Usually, we embark on a voyage across the seas, but today, we are soaring through the skies with Captain Whiskey and Captain R. Roberts.Having just finished his book, I journey with Russ. Roberts through his life. Our first visit lands us in fatherhood and children. We get deep into the impact a father has on their children, especially  their son. We get into the conversation of the idolization of our parents and then the declination of that idea as we grow up, in some cases. This guides us into the mentors and parental-figures we end up clinging to in life, and how that can affect us. From there, we talk about life in general- specifically people giving up and life's timing. With this topic, we can't help but ponder "What-Ifs" and I ask Captain Roberts to help us fight them.Then, it's family dynamics and religion before we get into Naval and Aviation discussions, he and I reminiscing our days across the seas and skies.Unlearning to Fly: Navigating The Turbulence and Bliss of Growing Up in the SkyEmail: coupleofnukes@gmail.comInstagram: @coupleonukesSupport the Show!

He shares with us discipline and principles, especially helping us with business, relationships, and mindsets.Together, we emphasize the importance of embracing vulnerability and authenticity in personal interactions. By sharing our struggles and allowing ourselves to be emotionally naked, we foster deeper connections and create space for genuine support and understanding.  We challenge the notion of toxic masculinity and the harmful impact of suppressing emotions. Through examples and personal anecdotes, we advocate for a more inclusive and compassionate definition of masculinity that embraces emotional expression.Brian shares with us his experience with religion, getting personal with the cult-like weaponization of religion that dominated his youth.We discuss the dangers of comparing oneself to others and the importance of embracing authenticity. By recognizing our unique strengths and embracing our imperfections, we cultivate a deeper sense of self-worth and fulfillment. We tie it into the spread and popularity of social media, which has had a major impact on people's self-worth.Drawing inspiration from the example of Jesus Christ, we emphasize the importance of embracing emotional expression and allowing ourselves to grieve and heal. By acknowledging our pain and seeking support, we honor our humanity and foster resilience, with that we also reflect on the theme of forgiveness, we explore the transformative power of self-compassion and grace.
