12 - VICTORY RECORDS 1993-2003 FEAT. XTONYBX It's impossible to have a complete conversation about the current state of punk, emo, or hardcore without talking at length about Victory Records. There's arguably no label that's had a bigger impact on these genres – commercially or culturally – than Victory. We're joined by Real 1990s Hardcore Guy Tony B. from Ft. Wayne, IN to discuss Victory's impact on our respective journeys into punk, emo, hardcore, Vegan Straight Edge, and so on. What's more, we dive into Victory's discography during what was roughly the most impactful and ascendant time for the label, 1993-2003. Highlights and heavy hitters include Earth Crisis, Snapcase, Strife, Integrity, Deadguy, Refused, By The Grace Of God, Hatebreed, Catch 22, Shutdown, Blood For Blood, Skarhead, Grade, Buried Alive, Reach The Sky, Boysetsfire, Thursday, Ringworm, Taking Back Sunday, Atreyu, Dead To Fall, Thursday, Streetlight Manifesto, and Spitalfield. Are you more of a Strife - One Truth (1994) guy or a Strife - In This Defiance (1997) guy? Do you like Thursday - Full Collapse (2001) or Thursday - War All The Time (2003) better? Is Systems Overload (1995) the best Integrity record? Much to think about. We end on a sincere note talking about the importance of Vegan Straight Edge in our personal lives. Thank you for listening

Hello. Hello, vitality seekers. This is your host, Caroline Schafer. Please help me welcome Dustin Hughes. Dustin has an incredible story to tell about his triumphs in his health history and what he has overcome. I'm really pleased to have him here today on the vitality feed. Welcome Dustin. I read your story. And by the grace of God, I think you said you're still here and I agree. That's pretty amazing what you've gone through and experienced, and you're still here to talk about it. And I truly hope we can inspire somebody else who may be going through a really hard situation that there is hope and it is doable. I love that. That's very true. Thank you. So my story I haven't shared in a long time, but I originally kind of got over it and decided that it's important for me to share my forward because there's a lot of people out there that, like you said, I think can relate to what I've gone through and, you know, it's important to help others let each other up. Who knows who this can reach. I'm 44. I'm married had a blended family. I'm a detective with a local police department here in Washington.  I've been an officer for I'm going on 20 years now. I started out as a reserve and worked my way through a couple of different agencies and came back to the department of. And I've been with them about seven years now. And so I start my, my story of my health. I at about the age of six weeks old I started having ear infections and my parents put me on antibiotics for that. I ended up having about four or five different surgeries on my ears for tubes because of the, my, I was born with little small eustachian tubes. It would collapse and I get your infections and it just was an ongoing problem. So at age two, I was diagnosed with ITP. Basically it's a bleeding disorder. And so that's been something that I have dealt with my whole life. At age six, I had a splenectomy because or my explain wasn't taking, attacking my platelets and became very, very dangerous to the point where my blood wasn't clotting correctly and it was kind of touch and go. So they removed the spleen and my. Yeah, and this was a very six, it was a very experimental surgery. They didn't really know what the long-term results would be. And so they put me on because of that, I ended up going on penicillin for a very long time because my immune system was compromised at that point because it's also works to help support the immune system. I'd see. At age 10, I had. Some massive trauma to my skull so we were at some friend's house for new year's Eve and we were out in the barn playing and a tractor step got, got knocked out of the loft and came down and crashed on my head and crushed my skull. And it was about, I don't know, 25, 30 pound tractor step. And the part that hit me on the head was it was the eye that bolted onto the tractor. So it was a piece of metal sticking out of it, of the gas and that's what actually punctured into my skull. And so I ended up making my way back to the house and I was in shock. I couldn't feel anything. I was just in a daze, long story, short. Having two major brain surgeries, one where they removed a whole bunch of fragments out of my brain  and I had to have a transfusion. And that was right when aids was really a big, a big issue. And then they also removed that very giant blood clot that was in. Section of my brain, because it was so polarized from the, from the massive problem of, they just couldn't save it. So what's that about six months later they went back and I had this little pivot in my, in my brain, in my skull. I could stick my finger down inside and create my parents out with right. So they put like a little helmet on me. I had to wear all the time. About six months later, they went back and stitched me up and put it in like a, a plate in my head. And I'm good to go now. So that  that was the, the surgeon, the neurosurgeon told me that if it had been in either direction, I would have either been dead or paralyzed. And like, by the grace of God, literally I was the, his angels protected me. I know that. That's a, that's a lot of surgeries for such a young kid. I mean, that's and a lot of different things. You had several did four or totally different things. Ear infections, the blood disorder, spleen, your brain. I mean, those are all different things all by what? 10, 12, that's crazy. I was like one of those kids that. Some parents have those kids that are always accident prone. I was one of them for whatever reason I was, of course I grew up like we were,  our favorite song. We moved from Oregon when I was pretty little to Washington and growing up, our theme song was John Denver Blew Up The TV, Throw Away The Paper. That was, that was the song that might be. We loved it because they were, they were like, we're pioneering outta here. We're getting out of this crazy mess. We're going to Washington. We were I'm one of eight kids. And so we were Rugrats. I mean, we were running around all over the countryside and we were homeschooled. And so, oh my goodness. Eight kids homeschooled and all this medical stuff to, yeah. And so dad works that worked the saw mills. He worked all day. He worked at a bunch of different things. Always, always had food on the table. We had a humongous garden killed deer turkeys, whatever it was, the majority of the food on our table was from what we worked for. So let's say that that might've helped you. If, if anything, that might've been a huge benefit to aid you with all this trauma that you've gone through medical. I think that was definitely it's funny. Cause you probably looked at it, but more of a hindrance back then, but now hindsight, it was a definitely a positive, a positive factor for your health. Well, it's funny you mentioned that because I finally come full circle. So growing that was, that was, you know, we were the poor family. We always, we couldn't afford anything and it came out of the garden or  the woods. Now at 44 years old, that's what I'm striving to do again, because I understand why it's so important. You get the why yes, exactly. So then after my two brain surgeries, I did construction for quite a while. I was a carpenter before I was in law enforcement. I was on a job and I was pulling on a big, heavy spike galvanized nail and then they all came out of the post and went right into my eyes. It was my right eye and it punctured my eyes completely with my eyeball deflated completely. It was just like a little raisin. Oh, oh heck wow. That's boom. I got rushed down and ended up going to have eye surgery that day. And the doctor did an amazing job. He stitched me back together and I have 2020 vision. I lost a little bit of the color portion of my eye. And so it's a little, it gets a little irritated with light, but. And that, you know what, I, I get my eyes checked regularly and I still have 20/20 vision. That is incredible. You are like a cat, you have multiple lives and somebody in heaven is watching over you. For sure. I'm thinking at this point, I believe that for sure. So how are you turning your life around? So my dad passed away in 2020 of breast cancer. You know, really cancer is there's never been an of our family, my mom or my dad's side. Can we reiterate that? Because a lot of people think that breast cancer is only for women, so he's, so he said breast cancer, his dad passed away from breast cancer. Man and it's more prevalent than people know or understand. So cancer is just a vicious thing and it affects everybody and has no boundaries. So I'm sorry to hear about your dad. Oh, Thank you. Yeah, it was a real surprise when dad found out he had breast cancer.  That's been my hero my whole life. No, he, he was an incredible hard worker. He was a man of character. He was a man of God and he fought it. He, he had such an amazing attitude and. He beat the cancer, but it was the chemotherapy that really got him because he ended up with pulmonary fibrosis because of the treatments and that's real. And once he couldn't breathe anymore. Ever since I had my, all my medical issue, my doctors told me, they said the only way you're going to live through this, if you get strong and you work out and you exercise because your body has been rattled. And so I did from a very young age, I started exercising and I spent a lot of time in the gym and I worked out and that's really, a lot of my saving grace was mentally as well was I kind of had that warrior mindset of, I can do this and I, I just battled it and It really has exercise and nutrition is really after dad passed that really just kind of got a switch flipped in my brain. And I realized how fragile life really is by almost 69, which is not that old at all. And I have a 17 year old and a 14 year old and another 14 year old stepson.  I got a ways to go, but I thought, you know, I made it to myself and I commend it to God that I will be everything in my power to do as much as I can just to stick around as long as I can. But I, you know, that, that means that I have to commit to living a healthy lifestyle right now. I used to chew. I've never smoked, but I gave chewing up about eight years ago and. I didn't want to have cancer. I didn't want to die. I wanted to be around for my kids and I wanted to be healthy. And so that was just, this is just kind of the next step in that process, but I always chewing the first thing you gave up was that the first step it was. Once I had kids, it really I just want not about me anymore. You know I just want them to have a better life than I did and I want to be there. I'm going to be there for my grandkids and maybe great grandkids, you know? Absolutely. There's a lot of longevity on my mom's side. So maybe we'll fall, fall somewhere in the middle of. I don't know somebody is looking out for you. What are some other things that you, that you changed to get your, your life on a healthier track? So fitness was the main that I've had to focus on and be in state committed with go into the gym, running biking. I do a lot of, we have lots of mountains and Hills over here that we can hike nutrition. My side of the family, we've all been, we're not obese, but I'd say heavier. And so my metabolism doesn't work like it used to most, most adults that that's the way it works, but struggle to stay in really good shape and be fit. If I look at something fattening, it seems, it feels like I gained a couple pounds, you know? So I really have to be diligent about that. And Supplements is a big part of what I do now, supplements because there's so much we can't, we can't right. You don't have your big garden in the backyard no more. That is true. I know, I know you have a Neo life business and a friend of mine also does, I am a proponent for that company. But that, that is true. Unfortunately, people don't understand and I used to be more opposed to them, but now that I understand, like how depleted soil is how old our food is in the grocery store. Even if it's fresh in the produce area, it sits so long and oxidizes so much by the time we get it in our bodies, it's like pretty depleted. It's kind of sad. Tell us a few things about, your physical feats? Cause I know you've done some pretty cool things, so I ended up, the other other thing I had was I had, I had sole surgery year and a half. On my shoulder surgery from care. And so they went in and did a whole bunch of work on it and it was it was quite a process. I've never had shoulder surgery and the recovery was a whole lot longer than I ever wanted it to be our expected it to be. So I've been hitting it pretty hard in the gym and I've been able to do a Murph challenge I've also got involved in doing CrossFit about two years ago and that's been amazing because it's, it's a full body workout. I have a lot of Spartan races and that's really, it's been a blast because it's all different terrain and it's like, you're running through mud and water and all kinds of stuff, climbing over mountains and Hills and walls and running through fire. But it's just, I find it, if I don't push myself, I'm just kind of trotting along doing nothing. So I'm very goal oriented and so I've always got something set in front of me that as long as I push on myself, I'm moving. That's very true. I find if you, if you don't have goals and you don't push yourself, nobody else will, you know, people can explain things to you, but you have to dig deep and find that motivation down inside of you to want it bad enough to do it. And it is sad that a lot of times it is like a death of a loved one, or, you know, my mom had brain cancer. The same thing as you, once she started that chemo, she was lifeless. And, you know, it is what it is, but it, it does enforce those ideas that, wow, I get one body. This is not a rehearsal. This is the real thing here. And how I treat it, it's going to serve me or it's not going to serve me. And I always say, you know, whatever food you put into your body, it acts like a soldier. It's going to fight for you. It's going to fight against you. You can pay for better food and better supplements, or are you going to pay the medical facilities! You know, it's one of the other so, so you started doing spark and that's really cool. CrossFit Murph challenge explaining what a Murph challenges. Oh, Murph challenges. It's, it's one of the workouts that was created by a former Marine and. So it was, it was the exercise that he would do. And so in memory, every on Memorial day, that's typically when, when all the CrossFitters will do it is, is I can remember what it is. I believe it's a one mile run, a hundred pushups, a hundred hundred pull-ups, 300 squats, and then a mile or mile and a half run to complete it . It's quite a push. Ah, yeah, push-ups I don't think I can get through, unless I gave me a lot of time. I, the most I can do in like one situation is probably about forty. We have teams and so you can break it up into quarters or halves or whatever, but we'll think about it is it's, you know, You're there working, working out together, and you're doing that as a team and you're remembering the fallen heroes. Right, right. That's really cool. I'm familiar with Spartan. It's funny. I just was in a business situation with somebody who was like bad-ass in the Spartan world. She traveled the world and did Spartans... hello? Hello, Shelley. But yeah, that is a really fun thing. I have been toying with that idea and she's like, that's what I do.conversation withAnd I was like, no way. That's just awesome. So how do you feel compared to now, like now compared to when you search stop chewing say... how do you feel when you get up in the morning? The things you want to do during the day? You know, whenever you stop, whenever you stop something like that, there's, there's the cravings, you know, for whatever reason, smoking chewing, it's like after a meal, you want to throw that DEP in or have that smoke. And, and when you, when you cut that out, it takes, it took  me awhile. And I, and I failed several times before I finally just completely quit it.  I started asking myself, why was I doing. What was it that I was trying to replace or satisfy at me and, you know, it was a crutch. It was just an, it was something that I was using to dull something in me that I wouldn't want to do. I love that you had the conversation with yourself. Like, why am I doing this? Like, cause a lot of people don't even stop to think like, what am I doing to myself? Why am I doing it? Like  how is this making me feel?  Is it being done to alleviate something else I don't have to think about or do or whatnot. Like you said, a crutch and I think that's, very big of you to say,  a lot of people I don't think would but I think that's most vices, right? Most vices are like that. And addiction is a real thing. And as an officer I deal, I see, I talk to people on the daily and I really, I dig in and I want to know, you know, I ask him what's how did you get started? And you know what addiction is. I truly try and understand because I want to be empathetic. And so it's, you know, whatever that, that, that need is that we're trying to fulfill is real. And so now I don't even think about it. It's not even a second thought to me when I get up in the morning.  I, you know, I feel amazing. I, and ,it's a process. This is not, I'm not going to get there overnight, but. And the commitment you know, and as long as I stick with my goals and I've got things ahead of me every day gets a little bit easier to get up in the morning, go to the gym and the wiser I'm going to be at. So if somebody is sitting next to you and they were having weight issues , is there a piece of advice that you could give them to get maybe that first domino rolling in their lives to start their journey in more of a healthy way? Good question. I think first of all, you have to love yourself self care, mental health, and you have to be right upstairs and in your hearts. Not good there. You're not going to be good anywhere else. And I think once you deal with that, then the outward, the outward is going to show. And you know, if you're dealing with your weight and your high blood pressure and heartburn, which I had all those things, you know what? Right. And nicotine, I cut off the alcohol, I cut out the caffeine. My heartburn went away. My weight went down. My stress went down. I started taking supplements. I was exercising. My blood pressure dropped immensely isn't it amazing, like you, you start doing one thing. And then I think once people start feeling a little bit better, then you're like, okay, I'll do this. And they're more willing to do the next step because they start feeling the positive results of, of the first thing that they did. And then they just gained momentum. I find that very often and it's like, you just, you just need to take that first step. Right. That's the hardest part. That's really important taking that leap of faith. You know, it's not easy because nobody wants to fail. And as humans, we would rather not take that step and not fail. Then have the fear of failure and you know what, everybody that's successful in life. You got to take that step if you want change. I there's a quote that I have in my office. And it says, don't expect the results from the work you don't put in. That's very true. And my vision of what failure is, it's just that you've given up. It doesn't matter if you've tried and didn't succeed. You just keep trying until you do. And if you just stop trying that's in my mind failing so I have one last question is a little bit deeper. And it's, if you could change one thing in this world, eliminate it forever, what would it be and why? If there's one thing that I can eliminate in this world, we cancer, I hear you absolutely that, you know, and I know that they're working hard to find a cure and maybe they will someday, but I just know that it's a very terrible disease and I lost a loved one to it. And. If I could do it, if I can eliminate. And that's one thing I would do cause dad still be here. Well, I think that living a lifestyle that you've chosen to do  all different kinds of exercises and goal-setting, and talking to yourself, getting clarity and all that self care that is fighting cancer because you're putting yourself in the odds of your health in a better position. Then other people. And I think that sends a message to people who look to you. You know what I mean? Who look up to you, your family, your friends, the people you work with when they see you do that. I personally view that as kind of a fight for cancer because you're, you are trying to do something to prevent it. And I think that's really awesome and commendable. And I thank you for your service because I think it's very important. My niece and her husband are both police officers in New York. So, yes, I appreciate what you do in it's hard job. And there's a lot of stress there, so I'm sure it's very easy for people who serve like that when they have to deal with a lot of trauma all the time. And a lot of people who aren't friendly and nice that it's very easy to come home and do things that you know, aren't the best for your health. So yeah, it's, it's kind of an easy, an easy path to go down, but you didn't do it and I'm so proud of you for that.  I thank you for being on the vitality feed. If somebody would like to get ahold of you, do you have like any kind of social media you'd like to put out there for them? I have a Facebook page. Okay. And I have a, I have an Instagram page as well. Yeah. It asked me questions about my business.  Dustin lee. Okay. And my Instagram is B loves. The K D loves the K Kesha. That's my wife. So cute. Okay. That sounds good. All right. Vitality seekers. I just want to remind everybody life has no remote. Get up and change it yourself.

Such an awesome guest this week! Rob Pennington is well known to so many punk rock and hardcore kids from the mid 90's to the early 00's. As a member of Endpoint, they carved a path for the Louisville KY scene that would endure for decades to come. As the frontman for By The Grace Of God, Pennington & his bandmates took a "speak from gut & heart" approach to their lyrics by taking on heavy subject matter (organized religion, politics, corporate greed). Never one to rest, he continued on his career & education path with the same fervor as was evident in his music. This is a wonderful conversation with an even more wonderful human being. You're all gonna love this one!

The Tough Talk Christian Radio Show with Host Tony Gambone and His Guest John Fogg and Naomi J Hardy: John Fogg - By the Grace of God, chronicles the life experiences of the author which on several occasions, could have resulted in his death. He assumed his survival was as a result of luck or skill or a combination of both until the mid-1990's, when a spiritual reality began to unfold in his life. Ultimately, his spiritual rebirth led him to the Bible which came to life within the context of his newborn spiritual awareness. In the book, he describes a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ that is both touching and inspirational. He believes that relationship is freely available to all that open their hearts and minds to that possibility. The author's hope is that readers who believe in God will have their faith strengthened and those who don't, will open their minds and hearts to the peace and love that comes with a personal relationship with Jesus. Devine intervention happens! Naomi J Hardy - national speaker and a coach on relationships and successfully managing change. Particularly your romantic relationship. Speaking to individuals, couples and organizations, I have helped many married couples find joy, reclaim the romance, and experience more trust, more love, more communication and better sex in their relationship. I speak and coach from a faith based perspective, while being very relevant in today's world. My background includes 25 years human resource management, training & development. I realized the closed door conversations, the loss in productivity, the rock star employee that all of a sudden could not perform was a result of problems in a relationship about 90% of the time. I also realized I'd spent more time coaching relationships than managing HR.
