EP 5: My Boy Obie

from Regular G.I. Joe Hosted by Mike Mendez

In this episode, we changed up from transition stories to overall stories. I am joined by MSgt Brian Ogbonnaya, who is currently Active-Duty military. I met Obie in 2008 as I picked him up from the Airport in Okinawa Japan. He was an 18-year-old E1, brand new to the USAF and the real world. I have seen him transform from a young and dumb kid to a respectable and go-getter. After I got out of the Air Force, we work together again in 2016. I was able to witness the growth and professionalism this man embodies. I consider him a little brother and super proud of his achievements, but more importantly his growth and dedication to his family. We spent time talking about books, ego, therapy, and his battle with PTSD. I’m thankful he was vulnerable enough to talk about personal matters, this episode will truly help someone looking for help. We also talked about race in the military and the sometimes quiet talks between minorities have.

Shut Up I Love It Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello Many years ago, Sasha Feiler and Joe Cabello met in line for an improv show. They were young, dumb, and full of it. What followed were comedy shows so explicit, “genitalia” was practically a term of endearment.Fast forward 5 dogs, 6 cats, and way too many weird inside jokes later, Sasha and Joe are no longer young or dumb—but they’re still brimming with you-know-what. Here, they’ve teamed up to bring you a podcast where they interview a guest who passionately defends something universally hated, misunderstood, forgotten, overlooked, Mandela-effected, canceled—you name it. The key? They LOVE it. From toupees... to B-movies... to aliens, psychedelics, and the occasional surprise character, Sasha and Joe are here to spread love to the world that birthed them (but maybe should’ve used protection).So come and get that love because no one else will give it to you like we do.Also, don’t forget to check out the Patreon Bonus version of the show:https://www.patreon.com/c/ShutUpILoveItP Explicit
