Off Duty with Anthony Crane

In this Off Duty episode of 8158 Podcast: Stories of Sacrifice, Rico sits down with returning guest Anthony Crane — better known as “The Mouth From the South” from Slightly Unhinged Radio — for an unfiltered conversation about life after trauma, finding purpose, and turning pain into something positive. What starts as stories about tequila in Mexico, Cuban cigars, cruise ship adventures, and promoting the radio station turns into a powerful discussion about community, mental health, and helping families displaced by tragedy. Anthony opens up about his past struggles, recovery journey, and how those experiences inspired him to launch a nonprofit focused on helping families after house fires and natural disasters. From delivering emergency clothing and toiletries to advocating for better rural fire response systems, Anthony shares how one small act of kindness can completely change someone’s outlook during the worst day of their life. He also talks candidly about therapy, EMDR, mental health in the first responder world, and why having the right support system matters. This episode is raw, funny, emotional, and real — exactly what Off Duty is all about.💙 Support the mission:Donate to the William H. “Bill” Butler Jr. Foundation:🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/donatepodcast-1🌐 Website:🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com🎙 Want to be a guest?Schedule an interview here:🔗 https://www.8158podcast.com/appointments-4📢 Join our community & get exclusive content:🔗 http://Patreon.com/8158podcast🎧 Listen to Slightly Unhinged Radio:🔗 https://www.slightlyunhingedradio.com
