Hellbound with Halos

Kevin finally lets Crystal know they are starting to record in this one... She's grateful of course. Kevin mentions how they are currently in the iTunes Top Charts, Top 10, which they are very grateful to their listeners and followers for. They ask, very politely of course, for a rating and review if iTunes is the platform you listen on, to help get them out to even more people. In this episode doughnuts are the starting topic. They never know how they end up in some of these conversations but doughnuts was the beginning. Crystal's favorite donut is a "maple, while Kevin's is the "coconut" and Sully's is a plain powdered. Sully keeps things simple, if you didn't know already. Crystal has never heard of the Coconut Doughnut and Kevin offers to mail her one so she can taste the deliciousness. She said she'd look around and see if they had them in California and try one, otherwise, Kevin will mail her one from New York. Sully talks about how much he loves Fall and his "basic bitch" style while drinking his apple cider and wearing his skinny jeans with Uggs. It's always an interesting conversation with these three.They move on to the California Wildfires and Crystal brings up a story about a Grandfather that ran out for an errand, only to come back home to his home engulfed in flames with his wife and two grandchildren still inside. Kevin offers prayers and thoughts from the Podcast to California during these fires because, as firefighters, they understand the complexities of wildland firefighting.Remember Mad Libs? The crew tackles a few. Sully screws his all up. We wouldn't expect anything less. Crystal gets an English class refresher before hers starts, so she doesn't screw up.... Things obviously get pretty funny through this part.... You'll have to listen.Closing out, Kevin mentions the new apparel coming out for Hellbound Nation and the Hellbound with Halos Podcast.

This week, the crew talks about the Lt. Michael Murphy memorial being vandalized by a 14 year old. They talk about how kids these days are raised and how different it is between now and back when they were all growing up. Kevin mentions how fun nowadays seems so much more extreme then back then. Yes they had some fun, but nothing to the extent it has going to recently. Crystal talks about how she couldn't even fathom doing what this boy did in Long Island and how she would've never thought of doing such a thing. Sully says he would've had his ass beat hard if he did anything of the sort. Kevin says he would've gotten the wooden spoon multiple times. They all discuss some things they enjoyed doing as kids and what their parents did to raise them. Crystal didn't realize New York has Towns, Villages and Hamlets. So, Kevin and Sully explain to her what the differences are and Crystal explains that they do not have that type of governmental set up in California. Crystal jokes about how weird it sounds living in a town or village and reminds her of the "olden days". The episode is wrapped up with a little recap of last weeks episode and how powerful it was. Sully was able to connect with his father and Crystal with her brother and her best friend Addie. It was definitely an emotional episode. Kevin said that he's been to a psychic 2 other times, and the first time was the hardest one because the psychic was able to connect him with a family member on a pretty deep level. He told Sully and Crystal that he knows where they're at with talking to a psychic for the first time. Sully says he felt a big weight off his shoulders and felt as though he had some closure.And it wouldn't be Hellbound with Halos if they didn't completely reverse topics and somehow end up talking about chocolate covered penises and buttholes. We have no idea how this even happens, but their rolling with it. Subscribe to Hellbound Nation at www.hwhpodcast.com and become part of our community!

This is our most POWERFUL episode yet. Greg the psychic joined the crew for an epic show that will be remembered for a long time, not only by the hosts, but by listeners as well. Greg lives in Hawaii and realized his ability at the young age of 3. Thinking everyone would think he was crazy, he kept his ability to himself for years.Greg can be found at www.psychicgregstanley.com or www.tarottimepsychic.com and will do readings in person or via Skype, Facetime, Facebook Video and more. He is truly talented, as you'll hear, so if you've been interested in doing this or have done one in the past... hit him up for a reading. You will not be disappointed!Kevin hears from his Grandfather and Grandmother a little bit. They come through to him as butterflies and Cardinals, which is interesting, because Kevin says hes been encountering a lot of these lately. He tells Kevin he may not retire from firefighting when he thinks he's going to and more. Crystal's reading was very emotional. Crystal recently lost her best friend from High School and lost her older brother a few years back. Greg brings them through and Crystal is able to reconnect with them quite a bit. He advises Crystal to talk with some people to make sure they are ok and that she will have a successful business venture in the future. Sully was able to reconnect with his father. Greg also was able to bring him through pretty strong. Sully has been having self premonitions of a car accident (which Greg didn't know) and was able to figure that out. You'll hear all of this in the episode, but the moral of the story with that is, DON'T text and drive.Like I said in the beginning, this is our MOST POWERFUL episode yet. When people see psychics it's a very personal, private experience. For us at Hellbound with Halos, we felt as though we wanted to share our experience with you.

Kevin sends them out quick, so if you want to show your support and get some awesome decals, go to the website.In this Episode, Crystal rejoins the cast after taking a week off to support her friend in a bodybuilding show. The crew hits on a few small topics to start, such as Sully talking about another interesting story from his vacation to Maine and Kevin doesn't hold back on talking about how he fell out of the shower at 2am the other night. (He won't blame the Tito's Vodka for that). Crystals son can be heard in the background for a few minutes of the show and she puts an end to that, haha. Hey, we got kids, it happens.Crystal brings up the Thailand soccer team trapped in the cave and how rescues are still occurring. They discuss how difficult and dangerous it must be to make those rescues and what they entail. They also wonder why anyone would venture almost 2 miles into a cave for fun... She also talks about the recent poisoning in the UK with the Russian Double Agent and his daughter and what the motive may be behind that. Don't mess with Russia. They'll poison you.Off the Thailand topic they all start discussing the Red Light districts and how much a prostitute would cost as well as how it would be to operate as a pimp of prostitutes. Crystal says she'd take 50% of the cut and Kevin would go 20% hoping to depend on volume and quality of prostitutes. Sully says that Kevin's ho's would probably be the ones servicing politicians and high class people. He also goes on to say he'd bling up a badass pimp cup if he were ever a pimp. (We think he is). They talk about the "lady boys" in Thailand and how they aren't as prominent in Bangkok as they are in Pattaya. Watch out for them if you ever decide to venture into the Red Light District in Pattaya, if you're not into that type of thing.Then they get on a more serious note talking about failure and how failure is viewed as negative in society. Kevin brings up his personally made up quote, "Failure is the Golden Key to Success that everyone is afraid to use". Crystal was taken back a little by Kevin's wisdom in that saying, but they continue to talk about how failure is such a good thing to have happen and how to use it to grow and learn. Some of the most successful people in the world are professionals at failing because they have failed over, and over, and over again. Society needs to change its viewpoint, as a whole, on failure.

Kevin, Sully and Christina talk about Sully's trip to Maine and how nice of an area it is. Sully explains how it's definitely a "different" feel, but the ocean and beach was really nice in Kennebunkport. He enjoyed his vacation but says it felt good to be back on the podcast with us.We briefly welcome our newest sponsor "Woodburned Warriors" and talked about how you can save 15% off, on us, if you use "hellbound" at checkout. Woodburned Warriors sells a variety of handcrafted wood items, so go check his products out!Then, the crew gets into a look back at all the previous podcast episodes. Talking about when they started, they were using Facebook Live, and decided to switch to Podcast Platforms only for their series. One of Kevin's favorite episodes was when they sat down with Sean Whalen. He loved his wisdom and straightforwardness. Christina talked mostly about the sex doll episode and how she read in detail about them in Forbes Magazine recently. They seriously fascinate her. Even more so than they do Kevin. Hmmmmm. Sully enjoys all of the past episodes and thinks they were all great in their own way. This episode was a GREAT look back at all of the episodes leading up to now. Kind of where we came from, to where were at. They talk about looking forward to the future, and continuing on a fun and successful journey of Podcasting. And of course, there is always sex talk involved. No one can transition from talking about Penguins, to Dildos... better than this crew.Enjoy!

In Episode 30, Crystal and Kevin take the reigns as Sully is on vacation in Maine. In this laid back, informative episode, we discuss the recent Firefighter shooting in Long Beach, CA. We talk about how, no matter which line of emergency services you're in, its a cowardly act and it needs to stop. We discuss possible ways of prevention and what is practical and what is not. It obviously bothers Kevin quite a bit as he is a Firefighter and has seen this happen before, right in his own area where he lives. Crystal states the comparison between police and fire should not be there as no one should be shot, but Kevin reiterates that its not a "police vs. fire" thing, its the fact that a firefighter is not equipped with the appropriate protection to defend themselves in a hostile situation. Kevin and Crystal welcome Felicia Taylor a Playboy Model, Cyber girl, Playboy's Student Bodies, Women of Playboy, and the Miss Playboy Mobile Competition. We discuss her experiences throughout the process and her time at the Playboy Mansion and having the opportunity to met with Hugh Hefner. Felicia said she enjoyed her time doing it, but it was time to move on.We also discuss he vegan lifestyle and well as the pressures and stresses of being a model.Felicia was a pleasure to speak with and we've already discussed having her on again to get her viewpoints on a couple other topics.

In this episode, Kevin, Sully and Crystal start off talking about DNA and how it was used to solve a cold criminal case. They talk about how the government may be moving to a DNA database in the future and possibly even implanting microchips in people for tracking purposes among other things. Hear their thoughts on all of this and where government tracking people or at least finding out more about people has evolved over the years.They switch gears a bit and talk about their bouts with anxiety and what they have found works, to work through it. They talk about what can trigger anxiety and what may be the leading causes, such as increased social media use with Facebook, Instagram and more. A lot of Americans suffer from anxiety related issues and they talk in depth about it.Adult Film Star Harmonie Marquise then joins the crew towards the end of the show to discuss a couple of new movies she's made with popular porn star turned producer, Sarah-Jay. The crew catches up with Harmonie after not having her on for 3 months and find out what her plans are in the near future. She does a chat/text experience on Sex Panther and more! She'll also be attending Exotica in Miami at the end of July, so go and see her there, as she'll be signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Kevin talks about wanting to go and how he could be a "DILF" in porn. Crystal says she wouldn't do porn and gives Harmonie a ton of credit putting herself out there in the industry.

Our favorite stripper rejoins Kevin & Sully for in this episode which discusses everything from suicidal tendencies to the hosts favorite things. Ya, its an odd combo, but these guys can pull off anything.Kevin stresses that if anyone needs to reach out for help to contact Hellbound with Halos privately, reach out to a friend or family member, or contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255. With so many Veterans, First Responders and Celebrities lately taking their own lives, we felt it was an important issue to address. Please reach out to someone if you think there is no way out, because there is so much to live for.Japan built the largest LEGO Flower... Go JAPAN!Then the crew talks about a list of their "favorite" things.... From type of ice creams, cars, restaurants, sports, candy, social media and more. We all felt this would give our listeners a little more insight into us personally and maybe you like some of the same stuff we do. We have fun with it, and Kevin learned that he should eat the left Twix first. (Never even knew that was a "thing")This is a great episode with a great mix of seriousness and ending with laughter.

Kevin, Sully & Crystal talk some very interesting aspects of Nutrition and nutritional lifestyles. Some of your nutritional questions may be answered in this episode as Kevin hits on a lot of the small, yet successful points of eating healthy. He has been in the fitness/bodybuilding arena for some time now and talks about the misconceptions people have about nutrition. Sully discusses the amounts of sugars in pretty much everything nowadays and how its difficult for a normal person to understand that what society was taught, years ago, has been found to be untrue. In particular the idea that fats are bad for your and carbohydrates are good. Kevin emphasizes that everything and anything isn't bad in moderation... but that's the key, MODERATION. Crystal briefs the boys on new news items such as a man that was caught masturbating on a plane and the death of famed fashion designer Kate Spade.

Kevin & Sully sat down with Vigilant Fire Training CEO Todd Smith. Todd is a seasoned Lieutenant with over 25 years of experience in the fire service. He created his company to give firefighters and fire departments an option when it comes to creating a custom training outline for fire departments. These training outlines relieve some of the stress that comes with creating, implementing and documenting training.Todd says, "Our primary goal at Vigilant is to provide your agency training officer with the necessary tools to produce firefighters who are trained to mitigate any given emergency in an effective, efficient and safe manner."Vigilant Fire Training Mission - At Vigilant we understand the hard work and the dedication it requires to create and maintain a great fire service training program. We also understand that today's environment requires more time and effort of the training officer than ever before. We understand, because this is exactly what our staff has done for the past 20 plus years. Our goal at Vigilant is to allow the training officer to focus on the delivery of training, rather than focusing their time and effort trying to meet ever changing requirements. We truly want every fire department in the nation to have a successful training program that creates a learning environment that is both enthusiastic and exciting.In our eyes a great training program is one that sparks passion, self motivates and creates an atmosphere where one is eager to learn and committed to continuing education. We understand that a great training program does not happen by accident. It requires hours of research, planning and development long before the execution process can take place. Furthermore, great training programs need to be based on proven methodology, strong curriculum and a principled evaluation process.Developing training programs of this caliber can be a daunting, time consuming task. Vigilant has the solution for your training needs. We have the tools and the knowledge necessary to build and create a successful training program.

Only Kevin, Sully and Crystal can go from a discussion on First Ammendment rights... to Mom porn.In our newest episode the crew talks about the newest NFL rules in regards to the National Anthem and how fines/discipline will be imposed if players kneel on the sidelines. Also a brief talk about how you are NOT protected at work by Freedom of Speech and your employer does have that right for disciplinary action and termination of your employment based of what you say.And then it heads downhill. Its a hilarious conversation about the most searched terms or words on PornHub and they talk about why some people may be into certain sexual things. Step-mom, Step-sister and Mom are some of the top rated search terms in porn. WHY?!?! Who even searches or want to watch something like that?? It skeeved Kevin out a bit and came quite natural to Sully for some reason.Don't miss this episode in all its hilarity. You'll be rolling laughing by the end.

In this off the rails episode, Kevin & Sully invite their fiance and wife to join them for an interesting rendition of "The Newlywed Game". Kevin talks about how maybe there show be a "Pre-div" (kind of like a "Pre-nup", but legal paperwork to preplan a divorce. The teams go head to head on how well they really know each other with a variety of different quesitons from favorite foods, to favorite things to do together. Kevin learns that one of Christina's favorite things to do together is grocery shopping, when they don't even grocery shop together.Sully and Amy both agree that their favorite thing to do together is have sex and Sully most likely had to sleep on the couch after this episode.We had a blast recording this and its hilarious!

Kevin flies solo in this "quick hitter" episode touching base with listeners about why this weeks episode is delayed and how life, employment and family take precedence over the podcast recording schedule. "We typically release episodes on Wednesday's, but going forward we may have release them on different days of the week because of the recording schedule. That is why it's important to follow us on whatever podcast platform you listen on, so you know when the newest Episode is released". Kevin also goes off on a little tangent about people that mow their lawns into the roadway.

In our second "business spotlight", Kevin and Sully invited David Shaulis on with them for a talk about support and supporting law enforcement officers. David owns the Facebook Group page "Americans Going Blue". While it is a "private" group, if you are current or retired emergency services personnel, you can apply to be a member. The group is a great way to meet other people in our profession, from around the country. David and Karen (the other page owner) do a great job at vetting current news stories and putting them out to the group, so that all members can read articles/news that are truthful and not "fake news". David takes time to explain why he created the page and how much law enforcement has changed over the years since he was a police officer with the Pittsburgh Police Department. **David is very active with the Special Olympics and notes that they are always looking for help and donations. So if you have a little time or can spare some extra for a donation, it would be greatly appreciated!
