Jason Johnson joins Trap Talk for Episode 177, and this one covers a little bit of everything: trapshooting, military service, family, mindset, sleep, and why coming back to the sport can be just as exciting as starting young.Zach Nannini and Richard Marshall Jr. sit down with Jason, a Texas trapshooter, military veteran, and part of the family behind Johnson's Furniture, Appliance & Mattress, a new sponsor of the show. Jason talks about growing up around trapshooting, pulling targets, watching great shooters, serving 23 years in the military, and eventually finding his way back to registered trapshooting as a way to make memories with his dad and family.The guys get into the mental side of shooting, including box breathing, pre-shot routines, music on the line, slowing down under pressure, and why one bad mount should be a reset instead of a lost target. Jason also shares what he learned from the Nevada State Shoot, the fun of events like the Back Fence Shootout, and why the ATA needs more energy, more excitement, and more opportunities for everyday shooters to win something and feel part of the action. They also dive into a topic most trapshooters ignore: sleep. Jason explains why a good mattress matters when you are traveling, shooting long programs, living out of an RV, or trying to stay sharp over several days of competition. From Tempur-Pedic mattresses to RV setups and white-glove delivery, this episode makes a strong case that better rest can lead to better performance.This is a great conversation for shooters getting back into the game, new ATA members, traveling competitors, and anyone who knows that trapshooting is about more than just breaking targets.Enjoy this episode and please like, share, comment, and subscribe to support the channel.Follow & Subscribe to Trap Talk!  It really helps the show!  YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@traptalk27Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/traptalkfromthebackfence/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/traptalk27TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@trap.talk.podcast*** Email us your listener questions to askus@traptalkpodcast.com *** *** Visit TrapTalkPodcast.com for all our links! ***

The global oil market has shifted, and the UAE just handed the Kremlin an armor-piercing reality check. In Episode 2.26, we document the final, terminal phase of the Russian "Big Deal."With the physical infrastructure burning in Tuapse and Kirishi from relentless Ukrainian drone strikes, the Russian state has officially run out of oligarch money and international leverage.

Tom takes a Wall Street Journal retirement-account quiz while Don gleefully plays game show host, leading to a surprisingly useful (and occasionally chaotic) discussion of HSAs, Roth IRAs, Trump accounts, 529 plans, contribution limits, and retirement withdrawal rules. The episode then pivots into listener questions about ACAT transfer anxiety during market volatility and a blistering takedown of indexed annuities, including misleading “bonuses,” surrender charges, and the illusion of “market returns without risk.” The show wraps with a spirited rebuttal to a listener defending annuities and a reminder that insurance companies aren't charities—they're math machines built to profit from your longevity assumptions.0:05 Wall Street Journal retirement-account quiz begins1:06 Admitting financial advisors don't know everything1:50 AI voices, digital immortality, and cloned Don4:01 HSAs and the “triple tax advantage”5:20 Roth vs. traditional IRA tax treatment6:34 Employer matches and “Trump accounts”7:46 529 contribution-limit confusion8:47 IRA contribution eligibility and earned income11:17 Rule of 55 for penalty-free 401(k) withdrawals12:37 Trump accounts requiring U.S. stock index funds14:25 Expanded 529 eligible expenses under new law16:06 Listener question about ACAT transfer anxiety during volatility18:24 Why missing a few market days usually doesn't matter20:57 Indexed annuity “bonus” pitch dismantled23:17 Why Don despises most insurance investment products24:27 Listener challenges the show's annuity criticism26:12 Why annuities and bonds are not equivalent28:09 Long-term market assumptions vs. fear-based selling29:22 Appella's free portfolio-review philosophy29:51 Immediate annuity math and the “you're getting your own money back” argument31:23 Why insurance companies usually win the longevity bet32:15 Mattress-money analogy for annuity payouts32:59 Closing thoughts and growing podcast downloadsQuestions?

In this episode, we meet Drew Bleil, Sales Manager at Gardner's Mattress & More and Lancaster's newest sleep science coach. Drew shares how over a decade in the mattress industry has shaped his passion for helping people improve their health, recovery, and daily performance through better sleep. He talks about his thoughtful, no-pressure approach to working with customers, why personalized sleep solutions matter, and what people often get wrong when choosing a mattress.

Ramon Vela sits down with Arin Schultz, Chief Growth Officer at Naturepedic, to dig into one of the most quietly compelling brand stories in the sleep and wellness space. Naturepedic isn't just another wellness brand riding the organic wave — it's a company built from genuine conviction, founded by engineers who refused to compromise long before "clean" was cool. From a river that caught on fire in 1969 to one of the most trusted names in organic sleep, this is a brand story worth knowing. * Origin story rooted in purpose. Naturepedic was born in 2003 when co-founder Barry — an environmental engineer — went to buy a crib mattress for his grandchild, read the label, and came home empty-handed. His refusal to expose a newborn to toxic chemicals sparked a pioneering organic mattress company, still handcrafted today by an 80% Amish workforce. * Transparency as the ultimate competitive advantage. In a market full of greenwashing, Naturepedic's open-door factory policy says it all — editors, influencers, and consumers are welcome to see exactly how every product is made. No hidden chemicals, no shortcuts, no exceptions. * Influencer marketing that tripled revenue. Leaning into authentic creator partnerships helped Naturepedic find a human voice for a brand long written from an "engineer's gaze" — and fueled triple the revenue growth over the last six years. * What's actually in your baby's mattress. From phthalate-laden vinyl waterproofing to breathable designs that can breed black mold in nine days, Arin breaks down what most parents never think to ask — and why it matters more than almost any other purchase you'll make for your child. * The EOS mattress: built to never end up in a landfill. With 20 million mattresses dumped every year, Naturepedic's unzippable EOS line lets owners swap comfort layers instead of replacing the whole mattress — cutting returns, reducing waste, and letting couples with different sleep needs finally stop arguing. Join me, Ramon Vela, in listening to this episode for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build a brand with no-compromise integrity over two decades.  Whether you're a new parent, a founder, or just long overdue for a better night's sleep — this one is worth your time.  Visit naturepedic.com and check out their Earth Day sale for 20% off site-wide.
