Hellbound with Halos - "Doctor to the Thoroughbreds with Guest Naomi Mellor"

"Doctor to the Thoroughbreds with Guest Naomi Mellor"

02/05/19 • 59 min

Hellbound with Halos
Kevin & Sully head across the "pond" and invited special guest Naomi Mellor (from London) a veterinarian to race horses and fellow podcaster, to this episode. They also had Sully's wife, Amy, join them because she not only works at Saratoga Horse Track, she's been around race horsing since she was a child. Naomi tells her story from starting out, wanting to be a veterinarian since she was a young child, and some of the challenges she faced along the way. She visited the Fiji Islands in the Pacific for a while to gain experience and then headed back home when her parents questioned what she was doing for an occupation. Working with and under multiple doctors, going to school, and gaining even more experience was her mission in London. She's had the opportunity to work with many great race horses, nursing them back to health, or sadly, having to put some down from injury. She has a true passion for this profession and it shines through in her personality. Naomi also hosts the "Smashing The Ceiling" podcast that is available on all podcast apps. In her podcast, she talks with people that do extraordinary things or occupations. She says although she typically interviews females to give her listeners perspective into their lives, she has a large following of male listeners because her content applies to everyone. We've listened, and we've already subscribed! Go give her pod a listen. Don't forget, starting this month, our "Hellbound with Halos" Unrated Episodes begin, the first one releasing the end of this week. You can access this content by going to our website at www.hwhpodcast.com and becoming a member. Once you're a member, go to the "Unrated Episodes" menu option and subscribe!

undefined - "Expectations vs. Reality"

"Expectations vs. Reality"

Ever had an image in your mind about the way something was going to play out? Or at least how you thought it would be? Only for it to be something completely else, or the scenario not playing out even close to what you had imagined. Usher in the latest Hellbound with Halos, "Expectiations vs. Reality" Kevin, Sully & Crystal start things off talking about one example of the ice creams from the little neighborhood ice cream truck. Remember those? You'd get all excited for the superhero pop and it either tasted like shit, or looked nothing like the front of the package. Or another example of recipes on Pinterest... that beautiful meal and what it looks like after it's done, and yours looks nothing like it, or resembles more of an alien life form. These are the expectations and realities of life. Expectations are our thoughts about how something is going to be or how we imagine it. The reality is, our expectations seldom meet or exceed what the true reality is. How about adulthood? Think back to when you were 18. Ahhhh, the day you could slam the door in your parents face and be a "man" or "woman" for the first time. Not shortly after, having that door slam you so hard back in the face because it's a lot harder than you had anticipated. This happens all the time in life, throughout life, and it takes time to learn to keep expectations lower so that you don't feel let down. The crew talks about all these things and more in this fun episode. Kick back, relax and think back to all of your expectations in life, and whether they came close to being reality or not.

undefined - "Birthday Switch Hitter"

"Birthday Switch Hitter"

It's Crystal's birthday week! We always tend to do a little Crystal focused show around her birthday, so we stuck with tradition. The crew talks about what they used to do for birthdays as kids, ie; Chuck E Cheese, the Arcade, or out to dinner. That brought up the question of... at what age should kids stop having birthday parties? Sully thinks 12, Crystal agreed, and Kevin thinks it's about that age as well. Sully said it's like the age when you start having just one friend over and they go to dinner with the family and out to do something after. They all talked about what they did for their 21st birthday's as well. Sully said he puked his face off, how could anyone have doubted that? Crystal said she thinks she spent it at home because she had her 2 year old son at the time, and Kevin went out drinking with his buddies, but did not puke. Lucky him. Kevin did bring up a time he had "White Russians" after beer and projectile vomitted everywhere. Lots of reminiscing here that you're sure to enjoy! Crystal went to Vegas for her birthday this year and talked about how she wants to have a relaxing, "kid free" time with her best friend. We're bound to hear some good stories out of this trip on a future episode, as Crystal never lets down. Vegas baby, and Happy Birthday to our right hand girl, Crystal!
