Before I Forget

This week on Before I Forget, Kevin and I sit down with Leslie Bates for a conversation about the road that brought her here, the experiences that shaped her, and what she’s learned along the way.This isn’t just a conversation about the work—it’s about everything that happens behind it. The decisions, the setbacks, the people you meet, the lessons you carry with you, and what keeps you moving forward.Leslie was open, funny, thoughtful, and gave us the kind of conversation we love having on this show.🎙️ The Long Game: A Conversation with Leslie BatesNew episode of Before I Forget — available wherever you listen to podcasts.#BeforeIForgetPodcast #LeslieBates #Podcast #Interview #Film #Filmmaking #Storytelling

Football, government drama, and war movie debates — we covered it all on this one.Drop your take: what did we get right, and what did we miss?

Two years later… we’re back.New logo. New music. New format. Same two guys behind the mics.Kevin and I have spent a lot of time figuring out what we wanted this next chapter of the show to be. We wanted it sharper, more focused, and a little more grown up — without losing the chemistry, stories, humor, and honesty that made the show what it was in the first place.It’ll feel new.But it’ll still feel familiar.Welcome back. 🎙️#BeforeIForget #Podcast #VeteranPodcast #WereBack #NewEpisode

Well, here it is folks! I have soo much strong emotion about this show.  I love these guys to death. My Brothers and My Sisters and their Children... My Family. I am honored to have you listen to us just shoot the shit.

Hey everybody, Tyree and Kevin here with another episode of Before I Forget. Today we speak with a 2 time MVP Blue Spader with 5 deployments in various parts of the world during his over 18 years in service. To us, Will was the FNG (f*cking new guy) because he showed up to the unit shortly before our return from Iraq in 2005. From FNG to one of the senior Soldiers in the Ramadi rotation to still holding the standard, Will Woods has carried on the Legacy of the Blue Spaders.

Happy Holidays and whatnot. After a bit of boastful bragging...Kevin and Tyree chat about what life was like away from family during the Holiday Season.  Remembering those that we can't sit and share leftover turkey sandwiches with. Plus, we get a word from two new, yet familiar sponsors. Like, Listen, Subscribe and SHARE!

Just a quick update on things on our side of the world.

Hey, do you know what today is? Wrong! Its the 20th Anniversary of Operation Baton Rouge. Not a big deal... we just liberated an entire city from terrorists. Join in and listen as Tyree and Kevin speak to CSM Herbert Gill (a good friend of the show) about the Operation. Fun and Funny stuff.

Just a short update show. Kevin and Tyree are very busy, Kevin is newly married and has a child on the way, Tyree is about to start film school. You haven't heard from us in a while, so this is what we have going on. ...in other news, they are eating pets in Ohio (allegedly).

Just Kevin and I today, sitting here thinking that we should probably properly introduce ourselves to ya'll. We each tell stories about how we were raised and our families reactions to joining the infantry. Fun Times! Please Listen, Like, Subscribe and Share!
