This one’s personal. Jamie Pardee — Jamie The Cleaner — isn’t just the Towel Wizard and co-owner of The House of Rags. He’s a father, a former semi-pro wrestler, a man who’s been through the fire and still chooses to show up with a smile and a helping hand. Tonight we’re not here to talk products or polish counts. We’re here to talk about the guy who quietly ships hope — every box, every towel, every donation — because he knows what it’s like to need it. We’ll laugh about his wrestling days, get real about fatherhood, and dig into why Pay It Forward isn’t just a campaign to Jamie… it’s a way of life. This episode kicks off our Pay It Forward Champions season — celebrating the people who make “Help Us Ship Hope” more than words. Want to nominate someone who lives this mission?

What if the extra income you’ve been looking for is sitting in your garage? Tonight on Curmudgeon’s Corner, we’re joined by Paul Apollonia — “The Ultimate eBayer” — founder of Online Selling Success, longtime online seller, coach, and consignment specialist with over 20 years of real-world experience. Paul isn’t a hype merchant. He’s not selling dreams. He’s teaching systems. We talk about: • How Paul transitioned into full-time online selling • Why eBay is still wildly relevant in 2025 • The truth about “side hustles” • Turning overlooked inventory into cash • Consignment selling as a business model • Mistakes new sellers make • What actually separates successful online sellers from everyone else • Selling without needing to be a “content creator” If you’ve ever thought: “I’ve got stuff I could sell…” “I need another income stream…” “Is eBay even worth it anymore?” This episode is for you. 💻 Learn More About Paul 🌐 www.onlinesellingsuccess.com 🧠 Mental Health Matters As always on The Corner — we talk business, but we never forget the human side.

🔥 Curmudgeon’s Corner 75 – Jared Kratz 🔥 This Saturday Night, March 21st @ 8pmE on Phoenix E.O.D. Presents: The Corner Hangout, we sit down with someone who doesn’t chase attention… but lives a life worth talking about. Meet Jared Kratz. A trauma nurse working overnight shifts, living in the same world of chaos, exhaustion, and gallows humor that most people will never understand. Before that? A private yacht chef, cooking for high-end clients on the open water. And somehow… he’s also the guy hauling gear, driving cross-country, and feeding the BioBombs crew during MTE — breakfast, lunch, and dinner… all ridiculously good. Jared and I bonded over something most people don’t talk about — those long nights, the dark humor, and the things you carry that don’t clock out with you. This episode is about: • The people who work while the world sleeps • Finding humor in heavy places • And the quiet ones who just show up and take care of others 🕗 LIVE Saturday – 8PM EST On The Corner — I see you. I hear you. And I love you. #TheCornerHangout #PhoenixEOD #TraumaNurse #NightShift #GallowsHumor #RealTalk #MentalHealthMatters #CurmudgeonsCorner

Keith Shibley | From FBI Task Force to PTSD, Addiction & Redemption Some people run toward danger for a living. Keith Shibley was one of them. Starting his career with the Virginia Port Authority Police, Keith later transitioned to the Richmond Police Department — where violence, shootings, and high-stakes calls were routine. Eventually returning to the Port Authority, he was selected for an FBI task force, responding to domestic terrorism threats, federal investigations, and some of the most intense criminal activity imaginable. On the outside, he was protecting the public. On the inside, the trauma was stacking up. Years of front-line exposure led to crippling PTSD. Painkillers became survival. Alcohol became escape. And all of it happened while still wearing the badge. His life — and career — were on the brink. Instead of losing everything, Keith made the hardest decision of his life: He asked for help. Tonight, we talk about: • The unseen cost of law enforcement • Trauma that follows you home • Addiction as coping, not weakness • Identity after the badge • The moment you decide to live differently • Recovery, redemption, and purpose This episode isn’t about headlines. It’s about what happens after the sirens stop. 🔗 Connect with Keith Shibley Facebook: Keith Shibley Instagram: @keithshibley Instagram: @official_mindovermadness YouTube: @mindovermadnessmom 🧠 If You’re Struggling If you are battling trauma, addiction, depression, or thoughts of self-harm — please hear this: You are not weak. You are not broken beyond repair. And you are not alone. 📞 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline 📱 Text HOME to 741741 Reaching out is not surrender. It’s strategy. And as always, on The Corner — I see you.

Due to perceived copywrite infringments, this episode of Curmudgeon's Corner 72, has been edited to remove the "Mental Floss" segment of the show. Apparently YouTube doesn't care about your mental health. Sorry. Tonight’s episode is a little different — and exactly what it needs to be. This is a hangout. No hot takes. No breakdowns. Just real conversation with good people. I’m joined by Michael Keav (Cars w/ Keav) and Israel Durant (The Occasional Detailer) — two guys who have been absolutely invaluable to the Pay It Forward campaign and this community. We’ve been together at SEMA, just wrapped MTE, and wanted to sit down while it was all still fresh. We talk about: • Keav’s transition to full-time YouTube content creation • How that shift is actually going • SEMA vs MTE from a content creator’s perspective • The pros and cons of each for filming and connection • Why showing up still matters • Community, conversations, and the moments you don’t plan for We also start the show with Mental Floss, sharing a quiet but powerful moment from MTE that reminded me just how much impact a single conversation can have — and why this community exists in the first place. And as always, we close The Corner the way we always do. ❤️ PAY IT FORWARD We’re continuing to build toward the next phase of the Phoenix E.O.D. Pay It Forward Campaign, including a Shipping Hope gathering at the warehouse on March 26th & 27th, where the Phoenix family is invited to help pack and ship hope together. This isn’t a show. It’s people helping people. 🧠 MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS If you’re watching and you’re struggling — especially quietly — please know this: You matter more than you think.

The Corner – UNCHAINED | 2025 Year in Review (Kraken Rum Edition) This Saturday, Curmudgeon’s Corner breaks the chains. No interviews. No scripts. No filters. Just real people, real stories, and a whole lot of Kraken Rum. The Corner – UNCHAINED is a live, unfiltered 2025 year-in-review featuring: 🍻 Aaron (Phoenix E.O.D.) 🍻 Rick Smith 🍻 Papa Smurf 🍻 Christian Woodard & Matt Godfrey (Bio-Bombs) We’re talking: • Wins and losses from 2025 • What actually mattered (and what didn’t) • Industry trends we loved — and ones that need to die • Launches that almost broke us • Lessons learned the hard way • Predictions for 2026 (these will age terribly) This is not a polished podcast. This is a community hangout with the ties off and the mics hot. Expect laughs. Expect chaos.

Branden Hines | Lead Program Coordinator – iRiseU Saturday, Dec 20th @ 8PM Eastern Last Saturday Before Christmas Tonight on Curmudgeon’s Corner, we’re joined by Branden Hines — Lead Program Coordinator at iRiseU, Youth Engagement Specialist, and what may be the most honest title of all… a “Positive-Habit Enthusiast.” This episode lands at a heavy time of year. The holidays amplify everything — the joy, the grief, the pressure, the loneliness. And for many people, especially those already struggling, this is when life feels the heaviest. That’s why this conversation matters. Branden has built his life and work around one core idea: People don’t need to be fixed — they need to be seen, supported, and given the tools to rise after impact. Tonight we talk about: • Identity before the mission • What happens when life knocks you off your path • Losing momentum — and learning how to rebuild it • Leadership rooted in empathy, not ego • Youth engagement and the power of positive habits • Mental health, especially during the holidays • Why community matters more than motivation • How helping others rise can pull us out of our own darkness Branden’s work through iRiseU isn’t about hype or empty motivation — it’s about lighting the flame, not filling the vessel. As Socrates said: “Education is the kindling of a flame; not the building of a vessel.” That philosophy sits at the heart of tonight’s conversation — and at the heart of Pay It Forward. ❤️ PAY IT FORWARD — FINAL NOMINATION PUSH We are two weeks away from awarding the 2025 Phoenix E.O.D. Pay It Forward Campaign. The donations are there. The support is there. What we are missing are the right nominations. We are not Santa. This is not about who’s “awesome.” This campaign exists for fighters — people knocked down by life who are still trying to stand back up. If you know someone rebuilding, struggling, or quietly carrying more than most people realize… nominate them. 📧 [email protected] Subject: PIF 2025 Nomination Help Us Ship Hope: 🔗 https://gofund.me/f85a4d25 🧠 MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS If you’re watching tonight and life feels heavy — especially during the holidays — please hear this: You are not weak.

Saturday, December 13th on Curmudgeon’s Corner, we’re joined by one of the true architects of modern detailing education… Josh V — better known as IMJOSHV. With 246,000+ subscribers, 770+ videos, and more than a decade of teaching real-world detailing, Josh has become one of the most trusted and authentic voices in the industry. From interior repair and reconditioning, to business strategy, to brutally honest product reviews — his work has shaped a generation of detailers. But tonight, we’re going deeper than technique. We’re talking about: 👉 Growing up in Southern California 👉 Surf culture, sponsorships, and the California beach life 👉 How those early years built discipline, resilience, and identity 👉 The transition from surfing → detailing 👉 Building one of YouTube’s longest-standing detailing channels 👉 The mental battles behind entrepreneurship 👉 Burnout, self-doubt, and the moments that almost made him quit 👉 What it really takes to keep going when life gets heavy 👉 The story behind DTLR Supply 👉 Fatherhood, purpose, and long-term legacy Curmudgeon’s Corner isn’t just a detailing show — it’s about the people behind the polish. The ones fighting through life, business, stress, motivation, and the weight no one sees. If Josh has ever taught you something… if his videos have helped you grow your business… or if you’ve ever felt alone in the grind… tonight’s conversation is for you.

Curmudgeon’s Corner Ep. 67 – PFC Tim Donley (USMC) | The Resilient Tomorrow Night – Saturday 8PM ET – LIVE on YouTube This one’s different. A little over ten years ago I walked into Walter Reed and met a Marine who had every reason to give up… and chose to fight instead. PFC Tim Donley. Combat-wounded warrior. Lead singer of The Resilient. A man who survived a near-kidnapping as a missionary kid, an IED in Afghanistan, and the darkness that tries to claim 22 veterans a day. Tomorrow night, for the first time ever on camera together, my brother Tim Donley joins me on the Corner. We’re going all the way back — before the Corps, before the blast, before the music — to the kid who almost didn’t make it home… and the man who turned scars into songs. This isn’t an interview. This is a conversation between two guys who’ve walked through fire and came out the other side still swinging. We’ll talk war, wounds, recovery, brotherhood, and how a guitar can sometimes heal what medicine can’t. If you’ve ever felt broken… If you’ve ever wondered how to keep going… If you’ve ever needed proof that light can come out of the darkest places… You need to be here tomorrow night.

Curmudgeon’s Corner – Ep. 66: “Hawkeye’s SEMA Recap Special” This week, we’re going off-script and straight into the trenches of SEMA 2025 with a very special guest — Lt. Col.

From the THOR booth madness to the late-night conversations over Old Fashioneds, this episode brings you a fresh perspective — from the eyes of a man who’s seen it all. We’ll talk SEMA highlights, community connections, and the lessons that carry from the cockpit to the show floor — and maybe even into life itself. 📍 LIVE from Pittsburgh, PA 🗓️ Saturday, Nov 8th at 8PM ET 🎙️ Real talk.

🎙️ Curmudgeon’s Corner LIVE – “The Ripple Effect” 📅 Friday, Oct 25 @ 8PM ET 💥 Special Livestream with Aaron “Curmudgeon” Burkett Before Monday’s massive Episode 65 featuring Tracy Beanz, join me for a special live conversation about kindness, connection, and the ripple effect that changes lives. This week, I’ve been hit over and over with one simple truth: “Be Kind. Every person you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” We’ll talk about four real moments that brought that truth home — from a barbershop chair, to a grocery store aisle, to a rush-hour highway… moments that remind us that hope is contagious, and that helping even one person can set off a chain reaction of good. Then we’ll look ahead to Monday’s full episode with Tracy Beanz — a powerful discussion on mental health, gut health, faith, and the power of community. 💜 Phoenix E.O.D. – Rise From The Ashes: Pay It Forward Campaign Help Us Ship Hope ➡ https://gofund.me/f85a4d25 Send donations & care packages to: Phoenix E.O.D. 404 Bloomfield Dr., Suite 1 West Berlin, NJ 08091 Every box you help ship spreads light into someone else’s darkness. 💚 Suicide Prevention & Crisis Resources If you or someone you know is struggling: 📞 Call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline – U.S.) 💬 Text HOME to 741741 (U.S. & Canada) 🌐 APA Crisis Resources #CurmudgeonsCorner #PhoenixEOD #PayItForward #RiseFromTheAshes #BeKind #MentalHealthAwareness #DepressionAwarenessMonth #KindnessMatters #RippleEffect #PodcastCommunity #LiveStream It's So Easy, Even A Curmudgeon Can Do It! 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?

Tracy and I first met through the Phoenix E.O.D. Pay It Forward Campaign — when her son received a surprise package of detailing gear that started a ripple effect neither of us could’ve imagined. That act of kindness led to a friendship, a mindset shift, and a journey toward better mental and physical health. Together we’ll dig into: 💬 How acts of kindness create life-changing ripples 🧠 The gut–brain connection & the Carnivore Diet’s impact on mental clarity 💪 Overcoming burnout, fear, and finding faith in the process 🌍 The power of community & what it means to “Ship Hope” through Phoenix E.O.D. 💜 October = Depression Awareness Month → How we keep the conversation going Plus, a powerful reminder: “Be Kind.

This week on Curmudgeon’s Corner, we head down to Baldwin County, Alabama, to meet a man who lives by three simple words: Clean. Preserve. Protect. John Weber — owner and operator of Guardian Automotive Detailing — isn’t your average detailer. By day he works fiber optics for what he calls “the Death Star,” and by night he’s restoring cars, faith, and balance along the Gulf Coast. John’s built a reputation for precision, professionalism, and heart — the kind that reminds us that detailing isn’t just about cars, it’s about people. We talk shop, family, and faith, and get honest about mental health, resilience, and the power of purpose. Then we lighten things up with the Curmudgeon’s Vodka Flight — a taste-test showdown that proves even the cleanest hands can get a little dirty. So grab your drink of choice, settle in, and join us for an episode that’s equal parts grit, gratitude, and good conversation. 🧠 Episode Highlights: John’s journey from fiber optics to high-end detailing Balancing faith, family, and business Turning personal tragedy into purpose Mental health and the modern detailer The Curmudgeon’s Vodka Flight: Taste, Trash, or Treasure The future of detailing along the Gulf Coast 🔥 Don’t just watch — be part of the conversation.
