S.O.S. (Stories of Service) - Ordinary people who do extraordinary work
Send us a textHeadlines say the VA system is broken and rife with abuse. Our conversation with Marine veteran Clayton Sims tells a different story—one grounded in lived experience, policy fluency, and a community-first approach to getting claims right without fear or costly consultants.Clayton shares how a rough transition and a hurried VSO visit pushed him to learn the language of 38 CFR and the evidence behind service connection. We unpack the realities of infantry life—miles in boots under load, daily wear that wrecks feet, ankles, and backs—and why conditions like flat feet and sleep apnea aren't punchlines, they're predictable outcomes. We also go deeper than combat. MST, toxic command climates, uneven medical boards, and administrative limbo can all drive mental health injuries that are real and compensable when documented properly.We cut through the noise about “rampant fraud” with data: far fewer veterans file than most assume, and only a portion reach 100 percent. The bigger problem is confusion. Clayton maps the routes that actually win—direct, secondary, aggravation, presumptive, MUCMI—and the kinds of evidence that matter: deployment health assessments, awards narratives, buddy statements, specialty opinions, and clear medical links. He explains how CivDiv helps veterans self-advocate or meet VSOs prepared, flipping the script on an industry that profits from complexity.If you've felt overwhelmed by forms and jargon, you'll walk away with a clearer path and a stronger mindset. And beyond claims, Clayton leaves a vital reminder: don't isolate. Find your circle—online, at a VFW, through church, or with a few trusted friends—because community can save time, money, and lives.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a veteran who needs it, and leave a review with your biggest question about VA claims.

Giants legend and Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms joins BT & Sal for a fiery, in-depth NFL discussion. Simms slams the Giants' "biggest disappointment"—the defensive failure—and calls out the coaching for not being "aggressive" enough. He weighs in on the extensive head coach search, arguing that analytics have made NFL game management "stupid," and reveals what former coach Bill Parcells taught him about chasing points. Simms also tackles the Giants' "leaderless" atmosphere, the controversy surrounding Jaxson Dart's running and Cam Scott's wrestling appearance, and the "sad" state of the Giants' home-field advantage. Finally, he breaks down the top college quarterback prospects the Jets might target, including Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, offering a strong take on why Mac Jones was the 49ers' true target over Trey Lance.
BT & Sal go head-to-head in Three Random Questions, starting with a fiery debate: In a one-game Super Bowl, who are you picking: Phil Simms or Boomer Esiason? Tierney gives a slight edge to Simms' clutch ability and team history, while Sal argues Boomer was the more talented player and a former MVP. What's worse: sitting in gum at MSG (like Sal did) or a homeless person throwing water in your face (like Sal's friend experienced)? Sal details the public humiliation of the gum disaster, but Tierney insists the potential danger and unsanitary nature of the water attack is far worse. Could you survive a prison sentence if you were allowed to have your phone with you at all times? Sal believes his phone could conquer the mental challenge of boredom and solitude, but Tierney delivers a harsh reality check, arguing survival is about more than just entertainment, dismissing the idea that the threat of violence is outdated, despite co-host comments about "uplifting" TikTok prison streams.
BT & Sal kick off a fiery debate on their Three Random Questions segment after having Giants legend Phil Simms on the show. The first question puts Simms head-to-head with Boomer Esiason in a one-game Super Bowl showdown, forcing the hosts to weigh Esiason's talent and MVP versus Simms' clutch performances and championship pedigree. Next, Sal recounts his recent disaster at MSG—sitting in gum—and asks which is worse: the sticky embarrassment or having a homeless person throw water in your face? The segment concludes with a question on survival: Could you survive a prison sentence if you were allowed to have your phone with you at all times? Tierney admits he'd crumble, while Sal argues the phone, and modern prison realities (like TikTok and streaming), might make the mental challenge bearable.
Today's episode features an interview with Parker Sims, founder of Gravity Bear, a new bouldering gym built inside a century-old, renovated building in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. Parker talks with host John Burgman about the process it took to bring this ambitious project to life, from managing construction timelines and subcontractors to refining the gym's vision around a “minimum-viable-product” approach. Throughout the conversation, Parker shares the challenges of acting as his own project manager, the importance of hiring the right team early, and how the gym's design evolved to balance financial reality with addressing community needs. He also explains how his military background shaped his leadership style and resilience through the ups and downs of construction. Listeners will hear how Parker drew inspiration from climbing gyms around the world, blending a European-style, café culture with a focus on creating a community gathering space and true “third place” for locals and visitors alike. Tune in to learn how Gravity Bear came together—one deadline, renovation and lesson at a time.
