You can take the boy out of Fort Walton Beach, but you can't take Fort Walton Beach out of the boy.

2 of Sean's BFF's Alan "Lil Al" Helmuth and Dan "The Man" Rimes sharing some crazy stories in this episode of Stories from the Vault.

Welcome to the world of Legend, Timothy, and Heath. They are a trio of young dudes, doing cool creative things... and creativity is where it's at. When Sean met them he was moved by the fact that each of them held their own special unique creative power. They are either a team of superheroes, or a team of bandits - time shall be the judge. It makes for some fun conversation, and we hope that time does pave the right path to success.

Alan "Lil Al" Helmuth visits the vault for his 2nd SFTV podcast appearance. Al came in with so many good questions on his first visit that we had to have him back for more, and he didn't let us down. Having known Sean for most of his life, yet traveling very different paths, Alan's thought-provoking questions provide us with interesting Murphy stories and inspiring conversation. The friendships where you can pick up right where you left off are the best... Life is short, make sure to keep the good ones in your lil pocket.
