A Life Without Color: Brad Simon’s Incredible Perspective

Things Heat Up With Detroit Firefighter Chris Palm

On this episode of Ordinary Legends, we sit down with Detroit firefighter Chris Palm, a 2 decade plus veteran of the Detroit Fire Department who has lived through the kind of moments most people only see in movies. Following in the footsteps of his father, who was also a firefighter, Chris dedicated his life to serving the city of Detroit. Over the years, he’s saved countless lives, faced deadly situations head-on, and narrowly escaped losing his own life in the line of duty. From intense fire rescues to the emotional toll of the job, Chris opens up about what it truly means to wear the badge, the brotherhood of the fire service, and the realities most people never get to see. This is a raw, powerful conversation about courage, sacrifice, family legacy, and what it takes to survive one of the toughest jobs in America.

Joey's Mom Hates The Podcast

This week on The Ordinary Podcast, Joey and Danny are flying solo and covering everything from viral moments to completely unnecessary arguments. Producer Mark DiMaso joins the show and the guys look back at some of their favorite moments from recent episodes, react to USA Today’s Top 10 Fast Food Restaurants list, and decide what deserves legendary status… and what belongs in the trash. They also dive into the great cheesecake debate is it cake, pie, or something else entirely? And in one of the episode’s funniest moments, Joey attempts to figure out why his own mom can’t stand the podcast. A little nostalgia, a lot of laughs, and the kind of conversations that somehow go completely off the rails.

Behind Funeral Home Doors: The Fascinating & Human Side of Saying Goodbye

Behind every goodbye is a story most people never hear. On this episode of The Ordinary Legends, we sit down with John Campbell and Ashley Kroll of A.H. Peters Funeral Home, funeral directors and embalmers who have dedicated their lives to helping families through some of their hardest moments. This conversation goes far beyond funerals. John and Ashley open up about the emotional weight of their profession, the humanity behind the scenes, and the incredible responsibility of caring for families in grief. From unforgettable stories and life lessons to the realities of embalming, death, healing, and compassion, this episode pulls back the curtain on a world few truly understand. It’s raw, fascinating, emotional, and deeply human, a reminder that some of the most extraordinary people are the ones quietly serving others when they need it most. These are the stories of the people who guide us through loss… and the purpose they’ve found in helping others say goodbye.

Ron brings decades of passion, chaos, loyalty, and unforgettable moments that define what it means to go all in on something you love. This isn’t just fandom, this is obsession, identity, and legacy. Crackman doesn’t watch the game… he is the experience.

A Life Without Color: Brad Simon’s Incredible Perspective

What would life look like if you could only see in black and white? In this episode of The Ordinary Legends Podcast, we sit down with Brad Simon, a guy with an extraordinary perspective. Literally. Brad is completely color blind, seeing the world without a trace of color. He opens up about the moment he realized his vision wasn’t like everyone else’s, what it was like growing up with that reality, and how it shaped the way he experiences life. But don’t get it twisted, this episode isn’t heavy, it’s hilarious. Brad shares unbelievable (and often laugh-out-loud) stories from his time at blind camp, navigating everyday situations most of us take for granted, and somehow… playing golf at a high level without being able to see color. From tracking balls to reading greens, you’ll be wondering how he does it and cracking up at the stories along the way. It’s real, it’s funny, and it’s a reminder that sometimes the biggest limitations can lead to the most unique perspectives. Tap in for a conversation that will have you laughing, thinking, and maybe even seeing the world a little differently.
