The guys start the conversation off by talking about their influences, or in Tylers case the lack thereof, when he was growing up in Texas. It wasn't until he found people like Leo Jenkins that he started to get influences in his own writing.

@ 14:00 Tyler starts to talk about how most people have this notion that manly men don't write poetry and he explains how that can't be further from the truth. Especially since he is a co writer in a collection of poetry called “Fact and Memory.”

@ Tyler talks a little about Leo and Jenkins and David Rose, both writers affiliated with Dead Reckoning Collective. Tyler also talks about his favorite writer, Kurt Vonnegut, who appealed to Tyler because he was more into math and science as a kid.

@ 30:00 Tyler and Schep talk about the Dead Reckoning podcast and how Dead Reckoning finds people, or rather how people find them that they feature or publish and how Keith Dow, co creator works with Tyler to get people involved. Around this point is also when they talk about the importance of a logo and the man behind their own awesome logo, Kevin Bakke.

@50:00 Schep and Tyler talk about the relationship between the veteran community and civilians and how it is evolving.

@ 56:00 The guys start to wrap up with where Dead Reckoning is headed and where they would like to see it headed. As well as Tylers future as a fireman and publisher.
