For 30 seconds in my youth I thought I wanted to be a boxer. I was inspired at the time by 6 time world champion and gold medalist Sugar Ray Leonard, and father of our guest, Ray Leonard Jr. I learned quickly I don’t have the nose or the pain threshold to be a boxer. Ray Leonard Jr has been in the ring and on the field as a two sport, division one collegiate athlete. In this episode Ray Jr takes us inside the ropes, from being a kid in a national 7Up commercial with his father, to running his own sports business, to his annual charity golf

For this episode I got to meet and chat with someone from my hometown area of Myrtle Beach, SC. He’s the dad of the amazing, and soon to be even more famous, Jumanji actress Madison Iseman. Her dad, John Iseman, was introduced to me by a mutual friend and he was right in saying, John is the nicest, most down to earth retired dentist you’ll ever meet. Plus he’s so level headed in dealing with a daughter who was determined to move to Hollywood and make it big time. It’s a dad’s perspective of Hollywood and his baby girl. #Jumanji #MyrtleBeachSC

This episode we meet and talk with the twin brother of one of the best, coolest and nicest character actors in the movies. I have worked with Ranny’s brother Danny Vinson on several films and got to meet Ranny Vinson at The George Lindsey film festival when Danny and I had Crab Trap playing in the festival. Not only do they share the almost identical twin features, but if you close your eyes you won’t know if it’s Danny or Ranny you’re chatting with.

This episode is a true hardcore baseball fan episode. I chat with Jordan Burbank, the daughter of Dennis Burbank, a three time MLB draftee. Jordan is an SEC Texas A&M Champion Soccer player herself. This is a fun, full-blown, sports family episode… #MBL #collegesoccer #OSU #softball #eSports. It may be a stretch to use the word famous about her father, but what a great sports story she has to tell.

This episode we talk with a man who, once you hear him and see him, you know exactly who his father is. I met Alfonso Freeman in Charlotte, NC where we were making films, crossing paths and helping grow the struggling NC film industry. He has a great story of his life, his films and his relationship with his father Morgan Freeman.
