We catch up with Mike, who discusses his journey as a Marine and some of the challenges he faced after his military career. Mike also shares his perspective on some of the mischief and fun from high school, including the infamous 'dance party' he hosted for the football team that required a bouncer and a cover charge.

Oh, and that title? You'll hear about stories from when my co-host, guest, and I all worked at that local fine dining establishment in high school.

In this episode, we learn about the grit and determination that kept both of our guests on the path towards their goals after a few unexpected detours. Tune in to hear stories about an illegal stowaway, academic expulsion, a teacher from the future, and why a handshake from Principal Fredericksen was so special in 2008.

In this episode, we get nostalgic about the high school days of twenty years ago and talk about the music that had a large influence on Brady and Joe's life. Brady also provides us with his perspective as an actor in the largest motion picture to ever be filmed in Waconia.
