Ladies and gentlemen, all you Bridge-Builders out there, welcome to the second episode of the new show, which is currently a sub-series on Couple O' Nukes. Hailing in from the setting sun of California at the Golden Gate Bridge is Stephen Barrow, joining me again as one of the show's founders and hosts, to discuss all things life, focusing on humanity- what separates us and brings us together.
We start the show off in awe of humanity's great accomplishments in bridge architecture, as well as noting some engineering failure brought about by human selfishness.
Then, tag along with us on a trip down memory lane on Stephen's beloved motorcycle. Feel the winds of reckless childhood youth and adrenaline rushes as he shares tales of his riding days, and some of the wild things he's done.
After some reminiscing and nostalgia, we get into the topic of social conformity. It's everywhere, but maybe you didn't notice. (https://youtu.be/o8BkzvP19v4?si=r1Nvzi_d-MdNEnWa) From traffic and school, to Church and the military, we're all part of social cliques. Is it independence or outcastment? What would you do?
We end things with some interesting takes on religion and different views about life and death before Stephen walks off into the waters of the San Francisco Bay like Godzilla or Jack Black in Gulliver's Travels.

The Fast Cruise continues, and so Firemayne (who may or may not be a former guest already) and I keep the fun and time passing going on. There's not too much life advice, but plenty of humor and interesting discussions.
It's a while of filler conversations from there, from car and mechanical fun to fashion sense and military lifestyle, join us two Nukes for an adventure.

Today's episode dives into the challenges of navigating the healthcare system and the resilience required to survive extraordinary health crises.

Repeatedly Dead Fred shares his incredible journey of surviving around 50 near-death experiences caused by sudden onset full heart block—a condition where his heart would unexpectedly stop, leading to numerous falls, concussions, and close calls. He details how doctors eventually identified the issue and treated it with a pacemaker, after years of misdiagnoses and multiple surgeries. Fred's story sheds light on the anxiety of relying on a healthcare system that doesn't always get it right, whether military or civilian.

Beyond his heart condition, Fred shares the concept of intermittent fasting, sharing practical advice and discussing the different approaches, all while sharing what happened to he and his health after her started implementing it into his life. He emphasizes that fasting is not just about weight loss—it’s about giving the body time to heal and reset.
A key element in Fred's recovery was the support he received from those around him. He speaks to the value of seeking out genuine connections and building a strong network for both physical and mental well-being. Fred believes that a positive support system can be transformative, and we discuss the mannerisms and mindsets involved with this.
Additionally, Fred explains how he builds resilience through prayer, meditation, and self-reflection. He encourages us to think deeply about our experiences, even if the answers aren’t immediately clear. This reflective practice has helped him stay grounded during tough times.

Together, we also highlight the importance of advocating for oneself in medical situations, the need for second opinions, and the immense pressure healthcare professionals face.
Fred’s mission is clear—to remind others that they are not alone in their struggles. He believes that everything happens for a reason, even if the reason isn’t always apparent. His story is a testament to finding hope in adversity, and he encourages listeners to ask for help and remain open to unexpected sources of support.

Today, I sit down with fellow shipmate Douglas Brinker, a U.S. Navy veteran, mental health director for the Michigan Department of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, and founder of Beacon 4 Hope LLC.

Mr. Brinker shares his incredible journey from serving as a Boatswain’s Mate aboard the USS Mullinnix and the USS Dewert to becoming a two-time suicide attempt survivor and national suicide prevention advocate.

We talk about the rough seas—both literal and emotional—he navigated in the Navy, from dangerous Atlantic crossings to struggles with identity and trauma after leaving the service. Mr. Brinker opens up about what led to his suicide attempts in 1999 and 2001, the critical support that saved his life, and the lifelong mission he’s been on since: to be a voice of hope for veterans and civilians alike.

Mr. Brinker also discusses his upcoming book, structured in 22 chapters to represent the 22 veterans lost to suicide each day. He reflects on the importance of reaching out, removing the stigma around mental health, and having the courage to ask for help.

Along the way, however, we also share some humorous stories from port calls to life on the ship!
