After awkwardly losing internet connection for about forty seconds (thanks a lot, Century Link), I was finally able to interview Officer Ashley Smith about her experiences as a female officer and competitive body builder. Ashley had great advice for incoming female officers that you might not hear otherwise. Our time was short today, but don't worry, Ashley will be back on the Blue Line Millennial Podcast again in the future. Visit her Instagram page @officerashleysmith and if you're in the body building game or just want some killer supplements, check out the company Ashley relies on, SteelFit USA!
If you're on Instagram, into fitness and visit a lot of police related hashtags, then there's a very good chance that you have seen my guest, Officer Ashley Smith. Ashley is a 13 year vet from the state of New York. She's also a Instagram influencer within the fitness niche, with well over 340K followers. When you visit Ashley's profile, you will undoubtedly see that she is very confident with herself and very strong willed.... But during our conversation, she shared something that I was very surprised to hear and it had to do with, the role she see's herself in when she gets married. She and I talked about many thing and she shared a great story about her bladder and a man with a shotgun. I encourage you to pay Ashley's profile a visit.

Can you believe the boys made it to the 100 episode mark?? Neither can they! Kevin & Sully have a great conversation for their anniversary episode and reminisce, as well as, discuss some of the "behind the scenes" things that happen while recording, or not recording. Kevin forgot to hit the record button! What??!! Yep, oops. Even after 100 episodes (more if you include the Business Spotlights), they still make mistakes. No one is perfect right? The guys laugh about it, because fortunately enough, they figured it out only 10 minutes into their recording of this episode. Kevin brings up the fact that Halloween is this week, Sully's birthday and their 100th episode. What an amazing week! Lots of good things happening and good stuff coming down the chute. Sully jokes that he isn't 25, after Kevin tries to say that's how old he is. Sully will be 36 and it's hitting him hard. They talk about what it's like at this age, to wait by the mailbox for blood work from the doctors office, and how the time seems to go by even faster the more you age. They shift their focus to some of their favorite episodes. Sully brings up how Sean Whalen's episode has changed his mindset in life, and how he carries himself and his perspectives a little differently now. Kevin says that he includes that in one of his "top" episodes along with Nick Yarris and Psychic Greg Stanley. He calls them the "most powerful" yet. If you haven't listened to those episodes yet, they're a must. Kevin's favorite episode so far was when Lauren first joined them, along with Officer Ashley Smith. He talks about how they meshed so well together and it was a hilarious episode. They continue to go through a lot of the past episodes for a better part of this one. Kevin brings up Halloween and if Sully is taking his dogs trick or treating. Sully says no, but he does sit out and will occasionally give a beer to some of the dads taking their kids out for the evening. Now that's a house every parent should stop at! Kevin wraps things up congratulating Sully, Crystal, Rianna and Lauren for their accomplishment and says they're ready for 100 more episodes. He wishes Sully a Happy Birthday and all of the listeners a happy & safe Halloween. A note from Kevin - "THANK YOU to our listeners, fans, followers, friends and family for the support in this endeavor. Sully and myself never anticipated the podcast gaining so much traction in the industry, but here we are! We'd like to thank ALL of our past guests for taking time from their busy lives to create some content with us, and we look forward to working with so many more in the future. Our mission is to create content for people combatting PTSD. That hasn't changed. We will continue to do our best at providing high quality, relevant content to our listeners. Thank you, again!"
Officer Ashley Smith (of Instagram fame) and Lauren The Hot Cop join Kevin & Sully for this wild ride. This is Lauren's second appearance on the podcast, as she has great flow with the boys. It's Ashley's first time, but you'd never know it with how animated she is. We hear a few stories from their travels across the country this year and last. They went together to the "Shot Show" in Las Vegas. The Shot Show is an annual trade show for the shooting, hunting, and firearms industry. Ashley went to the Arnold Fitness Expo in Columbus, OH and Lauren's stories from police week in Washington, DC. These two are hilarious together and the boys had some fun of course. Kevin asks Lauren about her Wiccan religion and being a "witch". Believe it or not, Wiccan is a very peaceful, harmonious and balanced way of life which promotes oneness with the divine and all which exists. Lauren insists she's a good witch and has stood in her yard naked, to charge her crystals before. She promotes positivity and believes that what you put out, you get back. Ashley talks about the Arnold and shares some stories from that, but one of the funniest stories comes out of their recent trip to the Shot Show. Ashley brings up Lauren's sleep sounds app, and how she needs the volume up all the way. Lauren insists that "rain on a tent" is the best way to fall asleep, however, it kept Ashley up. But during this time, Ashley learned all about Lauren's ways in following the Wiccan religion and was quite intrigued. As we said earlier, this episode takes a lot of twists and turns, and it's guaranteed to have you laughing throughout. Kevin and Sully bring you their longest episode yet, and you'll want to listen to the whole thing.
