So There I Was

Just a quick gathering over some beers to discuss submarines and corona isolation. Hope you enjoy. send comments and feedback on the gram or FB.

A regroup with me and Mondo and our friend Jeremy, a lot of navy stuff a lot of outdoor stuff and  a lot of being thankful for what we have.

Here's some I forgot to publish, once my schedule normalizes we'll get more out

After  a quick war council with some of my colleagues on the matters of our current affairs, we decided to record and publish a quick hour to close out the year and to invite feedback on an opinion we share. please let me know if you agree or disagree with anything in this episode and the reasons why. As I continue to work through scheduling issues and time out of the shipyard I will try to post more regular content and will likely have a varied cast until I can get back onto a normal schedule, thanks for your patience and stay tuned. 2020 has got a lot of exciting stuff in store.

Another teaser for season 2, Me and my bro Scott talking story for a while about some things that are important to us and most of you probably have an opinion on as well. Please reach out and let me know what you think. IG is @bruhampiece and is public for now, Facebook me, and my upcoming TikTok is @zx6rbruham. Soon I will get back into the Youtube channel but I'm focusing on other things right now. let me know if you need any new stickers and I still have some Tee Shirts as well. Thanks for all the support and we'll be back to normal as soon as we can. Much Love BruHam

Season 2 intro/trailer. We will be dropping episodes one and too next week, thanks for all the support and we are very happy to be back in front of the microphones. We wrapped this one up around a topic the is very important to me as a publisher. So for those who know me personally and follow theChive....#istandwiththeChive #chivenation #KCCO #keepcalm #freeinternet #staywoke. Much love and please send feedback/comments.

Aloha y'all, I know this took awhile, there were several issues with shipping my gear home to do some light editing of this cast and there was previously no internet speed to support the upload, but everything is back to normal now and her is a nice long one for you commuters and desktop listeners. This one was very enjoyable to bring a couple members of my family into the pod fam. I hope you guys enjoy and as always peals reach out with any feedback or questions.  #oldhouse #sothereiwas #podcast #family #history #1800s #taylorsvalley #mountainfolk #love #matriarch #ironmountain #ghosts #ancestors #iwantobelieve #thetruthisoutthere 

Aloha y'all! I'm publishing this one before the old house episode because it's a smaller file and the audio levels are a little better to start with. In this PG cast I sit down with Rick and Scarlet to discuss some things that the three of us are passionate about and they have been able to turn into a business of helping others reach outdoor destinations and helping communities access the destinations that are already there. If you like the outdoors and anything to do with the outside this is worth a listen, if you live in #SWVA, this is worth a listen, and soon to follow I'll discuss some of the specific adventures and events that mondo and I were able to experience while we were sort of off the grid over here.  Any time you have a thought or opinion you'd like to share or a question you'd like to ask please reach out to me via IG @bruhampiece comment on the post. I hope you enjoy this one, and the old house episode will be out Thursday. Mahalo for all the support and encouragement, much love. -Bruce #SoThereIWas #clinchrivervalleyinitiative #cvca #clinchvalleycommunityaction #SWVA #getoutside #hike #podcast #appalachaintrail #clinchriver #poundriver #smalltown #whatyawannado #mountainbike #kayak #family #lifelessons #heartofappalachia #offonthebinge #smilesnotmiles #moveforward #podcast #lastday #headedhome #goneforarun #trailrunning #laurelcreek #hamboneholler   

Hey y'all,  this is a very candid episode with some of my close friends while I was visiting Charleston, most of the voices you'll recognize, hopefully you enjoy. either way please reach out to me with some feedback. Thanks in advance, I really look forward to hearing from you all, and please stay tuned for the normal Tuesday/thursday episodes while I get into the adventures here is the Appalachias. Mahalo and much love  Bruce

Aloha, Mondo and I are looking forward to getting started on some of our on-site recording that will start to be available to you guys next week. The second half of this episode talks about some of our experiences here in the island and how to properly enjoy this place even if you're attached to a sea-going command. Please stay tuned for the upcoming ghost hunts and AT adventures. Much Love Bruce and Mondo!

Aloha y'all, Here is another Ghost story form the region of my people, some discussion on when its appropriate to cook for someone, and a little submarine chatter fo those with families. On Thursday we will record at Mondo's palace as I have packed the studio up for our trip to the Appalachia's, we have about 10 episodes planned for the trip and depending on how long they go it may become much more, so stay tuned for our guests, some not of this world, and our unique recording locations. Don't forget to reach out to me if you're interested in one of those T-Shirts or Koozies, new stickers will be in hand soon as well! Mahalo and Love, Bruce and Mondo

Aloha and Mahalo,  any of you WestPAC guys should enjoy this one and for those of you who haven't done one hopefully it sheds some light on the reality of Guam, where anyone who has served with spent a decent amount of time, most of which was good. This week is the last of us missing some topics in the cast, we are spending a lot of time preparing for our trip and working to make those location episodes good for you guys so a few of the recent pods have been navy heavy but after next week they will be very outdoor rec and ghost story heavy for a while. So I hope you'll stick around for all of them. For no, enjoy the toasts of our college days and the stories of our GuamPAC. Much love and many thanks, Bruce&Mondo

Y'all, this is a candid recording of some Navy talk from Mondo and my bro Arthur that followed one of our game nights, this will likely be one of the only times I don't appear on a podcast recorded in my house on my equipment, but I digest. Mondo and I are drafting plans for content and stories during our trip home which will be somewhat of a series. Enjoy these guys till we get back to our normal stuff on Thursday, thanks for listening!   -Bruce&Mondo...& Arthur

Aloha and Mahlalo, We are really looking forward to the next few weeks! this episode gets a little patriotic in the second half but that's ok! I hope you guys enjoy this one, pleas give us some feedback on the ideas for shirts/koozies/stickers so we can get started on that stuff. This pod has a brief description of Lulumaho Falls, and the story of ghost is around the Sensabaugh Tunnel in Kingsport, some of the stories we've discussed we will actually investigate while we are recording in Virginia at the end of the mont so stay tuned! Much Love Bruce&Mondo

We are still in many ways recovering from our most recent weekend adventures and but the show goes on, we had Beau back on the cast today so I think that's enough appearances to consider him a regular. Please send us some feedback regarding T-Shirts and the other items we suggested in the beginning of this one. No real life lessons in this one but we'll be back to the usual for Thursday, things are getting busy at work as I prepare to transfer and renew some of my clearances but the good times are still inbound. Much love and big Mahalo to all you guys, thanks for getting us where we are. Cant wait to hear from you! -Bruce&Mondo (&Beau)

Mahalo guy, sorry this one was published late, Mondo was underway on a submarine for some inspections and I was otherwise occupied for Wednesday evening. we were definitely a little worn out but we did close the loop on our previous episode and were doing some research for our Memorial Day weekend special cast on some of our submarine fathers.

Aloha and Mahalo Y'all, today's ghost story is "The Wolf Girl" from scary stories to tell in the dark, a book of shorts I read in like the 2nd grade. First here's some time stamps for you guys, the first 40 minutes are the standard talking story into the Pro Tip, then the ghost story takes us to just over an hour, from about an hour and 5 minutes is all what it is to be a man an be perceived as a man, in the next episode we ill tie it into the navy after we get some feedback so please shoot that stuff over to me. Don't forget to keep the pictures of the stickers coming, and let me know anything I can put #onthefridge. The #SoThereIWas stickers are reaching farther and farther every day and your support and love will always be enough for me to keep doing this. These week is our way of gearing up toward Father's Day which will be another tribute episode so feel free to shoot some ideas/topics/thoughts to me in advance for that one. As always, much love and aloha, talk to you soon! -BruHam & Mondo #manly #masculine #podcast #raisedbywolves #brotip #protip #outdoornature #outdoortherapy #fathers #rolemodels #dads #wingman #thirsty #waimeabay #hilife #luckywelivehi #oahu #beachdays #kanjam #volleyball #spikeball #yallwild #staytuned 

Aloha and Mahalo for everyone who followed along, this weekend special is just a quick recap of the events that led to the presumed loss and ultimate recovery of my bros drone. Mondo and I will be back for Tuesday morning's regularly scheduled casting of the pods! #dronedown #searchandrescue #trespassing #detained #success #friends #ohau #hilife #drones #SoThereIWas #hamboneholler #yall

Aloha and Mahalo y'all, me and Mondo are back at the norm for the cast, this one has a 30 minute intro chat to the ghost story then at about the hour mark we get into the heart of the cast and we are really interested to hear your feedback on this one, it will have a follow up in a few weeks after we gather some other perspectives and we're excited to touch on some of it again with some experts. don't forget to click subscribe/follow, we still have a few circle stickers to give out and will continue to hold the others on hand so please reach out and keep the photos coming.

Alright y'all, this is the story that started our adventure into the wild world of poops, I got a ton of feedback and I tried to get to it all but we had this one pre-recorded and it was in the wake of my MacBook's Moscato fatality, so it is me and Mondo getting back into the heart of the cast with some manly humor and life lessons including a bro tip. Thursday's episode will not be pre recorded, I will get that one done right before it is published like before, so please tell me which kind of pods you guys prefer I cast, the night before drop or the pre recorded drop. Also don't forget to leave a review in iTunes for a sticker, they are running out, android guys who have left reviews on a different platform just reach out to me soon.

This Special weekend episode is for the Moms out there! My Friend Mondo joined  me again as well as my friend Nate, so if you have a special woman in your life who has influenced you please. Here's some time stamps for you if you want them...the first 34 minutes are normal intro chatter, from about 34 to the hour and 15 mark is Mondo discussing women of the Appalachia's and is mama, from there to the hour and 42 mar is Nate discussing some of his mom, and from there to the close is me discussing my mom and some of the women who have influenced me. Please reach out and tell me some of your own motherly memories. Much love and mahalos, -BruHam #SoThereIWas, #mom #mothersday #influence #podcast #amazingwomen #love #sons 

Aloha and Mahalo! this one is a long one guys, but its a funny one!
