Co-hosts Eric and Brad welcome Nick from Explosive Customz to talk cars, custom builds, and the surprising mental health benefits of working in the garage. They also preview Heroes, OGs & Hot Rods, an upcoming event where strongmen, food trucks, and high-powered vehicles collide. Nick shares why wrenching on rides is more than just a hobby—it's therapy.

Join Eric Peterson and Brad Stosiek on this episode of the I'm F.I.N.E. Podcast, along with special guests Adrienne MacQueen and Robin Senesac, to find out what it's like to be a veteran that never saw combat. There is stigma attached to veterans who never experienced battle and it can make some feel unworthy of their time in service. In this episode you'll learn that this statement is simply not true. You'll also learn some tips on how to combat these underlying feelings. Every person who has served this country is worthy of being called a "Veteran" regardless if they saw combat or not.

I'm F.I.N.E. is a production of Project Headspace and Timing, a nonprofit organization who helps promote positive mental health practices to our nation’s veterans by working to unify them with their communities, nature, and themselves. Learn more at projectheadspaceandtiming.org

Welcome back to all our F.I.N.E. Family and thank you for tuning into another wild and unfiltered episode of the 172nd most listened to mental health podcast in Cambodia!

On today’s episode, the boys are taking a break from the heavy stuff and inviting you along for a little “mandatory fun.” Brad and Eric dive deep into the weird and wonderful world of military slang, translating gruntspeak for our civilian counterparts and sharing hilarious stories from their own days in uniform (and from some of their P.H.a.T. Family, too). Ever wondered what a Blue Falcon is, or why the Army can’t stop saying “hooah”? You’re about to find out. Plus, the guys cover how the military wages war on your common sense, why you never want to be left alone with the “good idea fairy,” and what happens when you mix a bunch of bored veterans with a surplus of garbage cans and zero supervision.

Tune in for laughs, learning, and a reminder that sometimes, finding joy in the chaos is the best kind of therapy. Huge thanks to our episode sponsor, tattoo artist Sarah Jane—make sure to hit her up for your next piece of ink!
