    2025 Season Seven (7) is a wrap Dec 15, 2025
    Show notes

    Brother Sig from the Appalachian Chapter returns to the Podcast table with a promise to make regular appearances in the upcoming 8th Season!

    We start with the intent of looking back over the previous season. Not surprisingly, CY2025 was one of the busiest years in the chapter's history, with an event a month. He remembers the K9 event in September as his personal highlight, but notes quickly that they also jumped in quickly on a fundraiser for a local police officer shot in the line of duty and another for the family of a police officer killed in the line of duty.

    The conversation then quickly turned to using social media to support the chapter's endeavors and events. Sig was quick to credit the Chapter President Rodeo, whom he characterized as a social media guru. Sig has a love-hate relationship with technology but somehow succeeds in using it.

    We start to explore how the chapter has embraced social media and other non-traditional means of "getting the word out". Without a doubt, Sig remarked, they got a real return on the effort the chapter put into those campaigns. All of the people attending the event would comment on how they saw it online.Social media increased awareness of the upcoming events.

    The geography around the chapter spreads out the target demographic, and their online accounts help them reach a broader audience. Sharing events to community "at large" pages extends the chapter's presence beyond our network of "friends".

    The chapter hasn't abandoned print media entirely and has used large-scale advertisements like electronic billboards, but those all cost money.

    Word of Mouth remains a timeless and credible means of getting information out. Once the club is known and established, people ask about and talk up the upcoming events. Getting to know the patches personally and building bridges are still important. You have a network in person.

    Stickers and courtesy cards are still king. The chapter pastes their QR code on all of those documents to reel people in and provide information about what they have been doing and what's coming up.

    One of my personal favorites for continuing to engage an audience about a specific upcoming event is the Facebook Event pages. Once someone indicates they are interested or attending, you can immediately provide updates to those folks. Event Pages are particularly effective.

    The Appalachian Chapter has some especially strong sponsorship, and they are committed to crediting those sponsors and recognizing their generosity. They also invite their sponsors to come to the event and set up an informational table or put up a banner.

    "The magic is getting the community behind what you do and then spreading the good word", says Sig. Being out there every month and getting those vests in the sunshine so people see you is really important. Being at the favorite locations or events and telling people about the club and what you do is.

    What works in one region may not translate well to another. You need to figure out what works best.

    Sig explains how the chapter participates in the Angel Tree, a holiday gift program. There's a local business that hosts the Angel Tree and administers a short application process. Each child gets a "want" and a "need". Anyone can take a card off the tree and shop for the gifts, and then return them to the tree, where they are wrapped and put under the tree for those children. The chapter has already sponsored 45 Angel Tree cards, and they in on going back for more.

    Looking forward to the next year, Sig talks about what the chapter has coming up. They start back up in February with their annual Chilli Cook-Off.

    In April the chapter will host its spring party to mark the 28th Anniversary of the chapter. April 9th through the 12th at local campground that offers cabins, glam-camping, tent sites. Its a massive facility and they will have the whole campground reserved for the Nam Knights. Paved roads in the campground and shuttles to & from the local attractions. Friday night will a club only party at the campground and Saturday's event is intended to be an open event at a local brewery.

    More event information will be coming out soon. Watch for more.

    In September they will be hosting their annual K9 Event and will have a special raffle item! Johnny Middleton, bass player for the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, has arranged for signed electric guitar, signed by the whole band. Tickets should be available starting in January.


    Project NK OK Returns to the channel Sep 22, 2025

    NK OK - Brother Rodeo revisits the studio to update us on the program

    September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

    Rodeo comes back on the podcast, and we pick up the conversation where we left off.

    As promised, we are making NK OK a regular segment on the channel.

    We start by talking about the power of checking in on brothers, friends, and family. We challenge everyone to go through their phone contacts and connect with someone they haven't talked to in a while.

    Brother Rodeo amplifies the point by pointing out that "most of the time it's just someone willing to listen to you and to know that on the other end of the line someone cares about you."

    Rodeo reports that they are working on developing an in-person program. He believes there is no better way of healing than being outside amongst your peers and people who understand your position.

    He's quick to point out that the new endeavor does not take away from the phone calls and conversations. NK OK has been hugely successful in connecting people inside and outside the club. Additionally, there are alot of professional resources available that already deliver those services, so there's no need to duplicate those efforts.

    Instead, he's putting his energy into an idea that's gaining speed, something he's called Operation Resilience, healing in the mountains. As he gets the pieces together, he's got a location in mind that provides options for camping and uses that as a base for the program. He wants to integrate activities like fishing, rafting, and hiking to encourage the participants to be active and get outdoors. At the end of the day, the group returns to the camp to network and connect versus returning to the hotel, where everyone is plugged back into their devices and isolated.

    He says that as people get a chance to decompress, they have a greater appreciation of those around them.

    The chapter just had an amazing day white rafting with a local company that is already on board for the idea. Rodeo talks about the Team Building that occurs while rafting on the river.

    The area offers so much potential. He's thinking about a Thursday through Sunday program.

    He wants to tie in some professional staff to be available if needed.

    Expense is a big challenge to overcome. Whether its sponsorship or something else, he hopes that other organizations can help offset those obstacles.

    He emphasizes that this is not a program exclusively for Nam Knights, but expects a wider audience.

    We wrapped up by talking about how idle minds are not conducive to being in a healthy place. "That's what I get out of the club."

    He recommends that everyone find their own voice and run with it. "Ain't no body going to tell you no, so long as it's positive" and in line with what we're supposed to be doing.


    Veterans Assembly Hall, Introducing the 1st Annual VetFest in Merrimack NH Sep 08, 2025
    Show notes

    Veterans Assembly Hall

    September 2025

    Studio Call In from Rae O'Donnell, President & Co-Founder of the Veterans Resource Alliance of New Hampshire.

    Jeff Riley – Vice President & Co-Founder

    Donn Mann – Director & Co-Founder

    Scott Chausee – Treasurer & Co-Founder

    Introducing the 1st Annual VETFEST to be held in Merrimack NH on November 7th (Friday evening) at the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten, November 8th (Saturday) on the Anheuser-Busch event grounds, and the formal Gala on Sunday, November 9th, at the American Legion Post 59, Hillsborough, NH.

    Rae comes from a "family deeply rooted in military service, following in the footsteps of her grandfather, father, and brother". She introduced herself as US Army Veteran serving in the Military Police and married to a Combat Experienced Veteran. Being a veteran is in the "foundation of everything that is me, it is how I was taught," she says.

    Veterans Resource Alliance of New Hampshire was initially co-founded by four individuals: herself, Jeff Riley, President of Salute the Troops Foundation, Donn Mann, Commander of the American Legion Post 59 in Hillsborough NH, and Scott Chausee, Nam Knights MC of America's Granite State NH Chapter. She laughs when she remembers the four of them sitting in a Mexican Restaurant, thinking about the concept of an NH VETFEST and wondering if anyone would even be interested.

    Given the social media buzz and frequency at which it appears on our feeds, emails, and calendars, I would be surprised if this event becomes anything other than a tremendous success. Rae points up that more than 60 non-profits and veteran-focused organizations have already signed up to participate in Saturday's Resource Partner Day.

    Rae talks about how she was impacted by a veteran's suicide and identified the need to make the Veterans Community in NH more aware of the resources that are available and how to access them. Rae recognizes the role that larger "Institutional Organizations" play also knows that sometimes it's difficult for them to be as responsive. The demand is sometimes overwhelming, and the resulting message being sent is that there's no help available. The group set out to change that messaging and connect both the individuals with resources, but also help the organizations themselves network together.

    In doing research in the State of New Hampshire alone, they identified over 290 Veteran-centric non-profit organizations operating in NH. "That astounded me," she remarked. We were also taken back to learn there were so many organizations servicing our Veterans in the state.

    Rae says their challenge was to figure out a way to bring all of these non-profit veteran organizations together. "If we didn't know there were this many organizations out there, how are the veterans struggling day to day going to know? They're Not!"

    An event like VETFEST pulls the organizations out of their silo's. The goal is to connect these smaller organizations and establish "resource partners" amongst the community. She wants to change the perception from seeing the neighboring non-profit as competition to one of collaboration and networking.

    VETFEST has a two-fold goal, to resource the individuals and network the organizations.

    I asked her if the idea of hosting VETFEST NH was something they were bringing in from elsewhere, and she replied, "No, not at all, we didn't do any research, we didn't look, it really did come from all of us." We asked ourselves, "What can we do to put this into action?" Because the Veterans Resource Alliance of New Hampshire was so new, they never anticipated going down this road. VETFEST NH initially was just "let's get people together and open up those days."

    What they discovered was that it was overwhelmingly well-received and became "a lightbulb moment" for so many. They soon realized that they really needed to make this official and ensure that what they were saying was going to happen actually happens.

    I asked if they found themselves facing a Put Up or Shut Up Moment. "Yes, absolutely", she laughed. She recalled that if Jeff Riley, one of the board members, were on the call he often says that "it's time for non-profits to put their money where their mouths are". Essentially the same message.

    She explained that smaller non-profits are often overlooked or overshadowed by those bringing in big money budgets. For the Veterans Resource Alliance of New Hampshire, it's not about being "on the map", they're about making Veterans aware of what is out there. "It has nothing to do with where we (the non-profits) land and everything to do with what we are producing for our veterans, are we servicing our veterans, and do they know the resources are out there." She points out, quite correctly, that there are plenty of small non-profit, veteran centric organizations that are "boots on the ground" and having a big impact.

    VETFEST is about changing that message we discussed earlier, where we appeared to be saying there isn't help to there is help, "because that's where the hope comes in".

    We asked her if the organizers were vetting the participating organizations, was there a criteria they needed to meet to participate? If the entity is a veteran-centric organization

    Rae explained that at the outset, they were only permitting non-profits to participate in the resource partner day, but they found in doing so that there are organizations out there that were not non-profits, but the service a large number of veterans, in some cases, upward to 90% of their clientele. They approached VETFEST not seeking money or to profit, but to partner with the organizers and deliver their message that they are there to help the veterans as well.

    Rae says, "If you help veterans and that is what your focus is, you are welcome at VETFEST. There are presently more than 60 resource partners enrolled for VETFEST, and that number is continuing to grow. We are accepting resource partners right up until that Saturday.

    Reach out to Info@VRANH.org if you're interested in participating.

    Veterans Resource Alliance of New Hampshire is entirely volunteer, and no one draws a salary or benefits from their participation.

    The NH VETFEST is a three (3) day festival that kicks off on Friday evening at the Anheuser-Busch Biergarten. Rae points out that Anheuser-Busch has been an amazing partner in organizing this event over the first two days.

    Friday evening, they're inviting the public and participants to join them for music, beverages, and to meet everyone informally. It's an Open Event. The 39th Army Band will be playing live.

    Anheuser-Busch will donate $1 for every beer purchased back to VETFEST. All proceeds from the festival will be donated back to the participating non-profits.

    Saturday starts at 9 am with a completely FREE venue for a family-friendly event. In addition to the resources we've discussed, they have a Kids zone, food trucks, a Cornhole Tournament, the National Guard Rock Wall, a Motorcycle Poker Run starting and ending there, Military Vehicles on display, and the list goes on.

    On Sunday, the weekend wraps up with a formal Gala at the American Legion in Hillsborough NH. She pointed out that the Gala hits a different audience and features guest speakers, media, and fundraising. It's also a way to formally recognize everyone.

    Veterans Resource Alliance of New Hampshire is not just VETFEST. It is and will become their staple or flagship event, but they want people to know that they are continuing to work throughout the year and bring organizations together. They are already looking at how they can change and improve going forward.

    "It is a movement for change, it's a movement for hope, and actually changing that narrative where asking for help is a badge of honor, it's not a weakness."

    2025 Introducing Project NK OK, A conversation with Brother Rodeo May 19, 2025

    2025 Introducing Project NK OK, a conversation with NK Rodeo

    Today, our Brother Rodeo from our Appalachian Chapter joined us on the podcast for a long-awaited discussion introducing his Project NK OK.

    Rodeo is a Marine Corps Veteran. He joined straight out of high school and served for 6 years. After serving the country, he had an opportunity to join the Florida Marine Patrol, which later became the Florida Fish & Wildlife. He later transitioned to a local Sheriff's office and spent the remainder of his career there before retiring and moving to the Appalachian Chapter.

    Rodeo was first with the Westside FL Chapter and claims now to be on the best motorcycling roads in the nation.

    NK OK was first introduced at the OJ Run in 2023. Rodeo was deeply impacted by a personal experience with a Brother and friend who took his own life. Throughout his military service and law enforcement career, he encountered or witnessed many similar events. He remarked that in many of those occasions, you would never have imagined that the individual was harboring those feelings, and that the next thing you know, you hear the news of what happened.

    Rodeo observed that it goes to the forefront of the discussion for about a week, and then it's politely ushered away and no one ever talks about it. "It's the shiny penny for about 10 seconds and then its gone." "The end product is that you have a job to do, and your personal feelings and everything that goes along with is kind of sidebar."

    Rodeo finally decided that he had to do something. After thinking about it for quite a while and being introspective about his own feelings. He realized that we all need to address those feelings and the impact its having on us.

    At the OJ Run, he felt like it was time to say his peace and introduce the idea of the program. He received a lot of support at the event and for the months following. The following year at the NK Memorial Run in DC, he addressed the entire coalition of the organization and invested a great deal of himself in creating an introduction letter for the Program NK OK.

    Today, the Program serves as Gateway for the Nam Knights Brothers and others in need. NK OK draws from a great deal of support, but Brother Rodeo still shoulders the bulk of the program.

    He believes that the Program will continue to grow within the club and also in the community of Military, Veterans, First Responders, Law Enforcement, and anyone in need of talking to someone. "It's just a place where like-minded people can talk about it", sometimes you just need someone to listen to you.

    2025 Cartman's Call In from the Parent Chapter

    Brother Cartman joins the Merrimack Valley Podcast, coming across the airways from the Corn Masg, Cigar Ash, & Motorcycle Trash Podcast!

    Brother Cartman is a Patriot Member and 3rd Generation Patch Member of the Club, his Dad, Machine Gun Kelley is also a member of the Parent chapter and his Grandfather, now retired was also member of the Parent and Tampa chapters. He recently celebrated his 10th Patch Anniversary and recalls how his Grandfather intersected with the club at the local VA during their bingo nights & subsequently prospected and joined the club.

    We joked a bit about the 2nd Bike Trend working its way through the club. Cartman has an "unridable" 1980 Sportster in the back of the garage that's always "amost there". The second bike is almost always the favorite; but you wouldn't want it for the long march.

    The Annual Beefsteak event was recently hosted by the Parent Chapter and organized by Brotheer Flatline. It was a great time and another successful event. We talked about how in many ways, the Beefsteak marks the first big event for the New Year. The event recently moved to its current location in the Elks Lodge in Paramus NJ and by all accounts it has been a great location.

    Next Up is the Parent Chapter's Car & Bike Show on Sunday, May 4th (rain date: May 18th). The biggest event of the year for the Parent Chapter. The event boasts DJ Music, Vendors, and plenty of food, the grill will be going all day! Its hard duty working from early in the morning, throughout the day, sometimes in the blazing sun and in the heat.

    The Car & Bike Show event has had a long run at the Parent Chapter (does anyone know how long its been continuously running?).

    Gates open at 8am and Cartman promises he will be up front working the parking crew. He doesn't have a flashy safety vest; but he did get radios which he clips on his shirt. It gives him an air of importance, he says laughing.

    The event is family friendly, public event with cars and motorcycles, so the decision was made to forgo alcoholic beverages. Its the one event at the club house that is minus libation.

    Next Up is the club wide run to DC for Memorial Day!

    July 26th, the Parent chapter will be doing their Christmas in July event. This past year, the chapter did their first Toys for Tots run and donated the toys to a local Boys & Girls Home. In July they are going to invite the kids out to the clubhouse, grill, have games, music, and collect donations for the home.

    September 21st, the chapter is hosting their Annual "Buzz Run". An escorted ride, it used to be their poker run, destination is to be decided. Last year they had a great route for the ride, rolling roads and wooded area. The run returns to the club house with a large spread of food. The Run raises money for a Scholarship Fund that Brother Fritz will present to the school every year.

    October 4th is the Chilli Cook-Off. Brother Goob organizes the event, which is held Rain or Shine. Cartman thinks its one of his favorite event and denies he might be a bit partial because his wife is defending champion chilli winner. Everyone gets to judge the competitors during the competition which has a panel of judges but also awards the Fan Favorites. Competition is rumored to be fierce. The Champion gets their name on a plaque and become immortalized in the clubhouse.

    December 12 has been reserved for the Parent Chapter's Christmas Party. Details to follow.

    October 18th for the External Chapter Ceremony at the Orlando Chapter.

    Cartman reveals some insider information on the Mash, Ash, and Trash Podcast as we wrap up the episode.

    Welcomed Hunter back into the studio for this special episode recounting 25 years with the Nam Knights MC. Brother Hunter talks about the Granite State Chapter receiving their charter, the first in New England and some of the early days. He gives us some perspective on Brotherhood in the NKMC, the importance of Prospecting and continuing to earn one's patch. He recalls the early days of the Bass Trail Paralyzed Veterans Tournament, the POW MIA Observance in Manchester NG, and why family matters. One hour was not enough and we will be sure to bring him back again. Thank You.


    2025 Swamp Fox Chapter Call In Apr 14, 2025

    Swamp Fox Chapter Call In

    Today, we welcomed Brother Skee from the Swamp Fox Chapter in Charleston, SC to the podcast. Another great episode where no plan was the plan for the conversation!

    Skee introduces himself and the chapter at the outset. Serving both his country and community, not necessarily in that order. At 38 years of age, he decided to join the Navy and says he held his own with the other recruits, nearly twenty years his junior. After 6 years of service, he was sidelined with an injury and subsequently medically retired.

    The Swamp Fox located in Charleston SC, was started in 2015 with Skee and a handful of other patches. Growing quickly, they soon began to deal with the challenges that come with a large member footprint and have since leveled off at a more manageable size that is producing results. "We are doing a lot better now than we have in previous years", says Skee. They currently have a group of "really good guys". "I would rather have 12 guys that will go to everything than have 40 guys and have same five guys show up all the time."

    The Chapter has their 10 year Anniversary Party Coming Up on April 26th starting at 12noon.

    Low Country Veterans has been designated as the charity to benefit from the event. Low Country is a Veterans' Residential Home on James Island. The chapter has donated and visited the home in the past. They have donated Care Packages to the Residential and Transitional Living programs.

    Listening to the Boondocks Chapter episode on the podcast, Skee admits he's liberating their idea of buying supplies through Amazon to put together 100 Personal Hygiene packages. "Actually, we kind of stole that", he says.

    All of the programs are crunched for money these days, Skee points out, and this helps them out. The residents really appreciate the chapter visits, just hanging out and talking with them. Alot of residents are WWII and Korea era veterans who enjoy the bikes and the visits.

    The chapter is running a Gun Raffle, and the proceeds help them with these programs.

    One of the chapter's patches recently had a serious motorcycle crash, and a Go Fund Me has been set up to help the family defray the hospitalization cost. Link Below

    Go Fund Me Link

    Nobody supports our Brother better than our own.

    We started to explore the details of their upcoming Anniversary Party. The first detail that jumped out was the Bikini Bike Wash, which we first suggested was going to be Skee himself washing bikes. He suggested they may be more successful if he accepted donations to do it in reverse and pay him not to wash the bikes.

    $20 per plate gets you the Low Country Boil, DJ music, cigar & knife vendors, beverages, and the promise of a great afternoon at their clubhouse. They are prepared to feed up to 80 people. The chapter has cornhole boards, dart boards, pool tables, and a large industrial parking lot behind the building. Plenty of room to enjoy yourselves.

    In January, the chapter turned out to help a Veteran's widow with repairs to her porch and home. Once the work started, they discovered that it was going to require a lot more than first anticipated. Last weekend, they completed the work with a paid General Contractor & work crew to finish the siding on the house. They are still working on replacing the floor in the future.

    We talked about how impactful the sweat equity is as opposed to just writing a check.

    The chapter hosts a monthly Open House at the clubhouse. We talked briefly about how challenging it is to organize and execute Poker Runs and such. It's hard to get municipalities to support large runs, road closures, and escorts. Not to mention liability riders and growing traffic.

    A legacy member himself, Skee has been around the club since he was 16 years old. We explore some of the obstacles he's encountered trying to etch out his place in the club.

    Skee talks about the importance of networking and developing your own reputation among the community and bike scene and how they've worked hard to build that credibility.

    "Over the last year, we've lost some members, and we've actually gotten closer as a chapter; we've become a much closer chapter," says Skee. "I hated losing the guys that we lost, but I'll tell you what, the rest of us have rallied."


    2025 Bloodstripe NC Chapter Call In Apr 07, 2025

    Bloodstripe Chapter Call In

    Brothers Roadside and Pennywise joined the podcast to introduce us to the Bloodstripe chapter.

    We had a great conversation about how they are working hard to make an impact and success with a close-knit knit small chapter. The chapter recently did some re-organizing to support both the Bloodstripe and 1st North chapters.

    The Bloodstripe chapter was founded in 2013 and comprised mainly of Marines. Over the years people have retired, moved away, and reduced the numbers overall. That was one of the biggest challenges for the chapter, but in the past months they

    "Where's Kevin" actually helped start the chapter.

    The Chapters hosts a Family Day quarterly for the patches, ladies, and their families. More than just being out on two wheels on Saturday for a couple of hours. We try to get "It's a great thing, especially when you have people wanting to hangaround, prospect, and are interested in us." We bring them to family day so they can meet the families as well, says Roadside. The belief is that if the family doesn't support it, it's hard to be a part of anything.

    Pennywise adds, "It's important to us and helps, especially if you have someone who's looking to join they can see that it's a family environment."

    Most recently, the chapter sponsored a Valentine's Day for a local veterans home.. The chapter teamed up with Family Dollar and received a bunch of donations, and put together packages for the residents. The kids created cards that were included and gifted to each one.

    The chapter doesn't yet have an annual event that they host; however, they are looking forward to participating in the Kennedy Home Run that benefits the Kennedy Home in Kinston NC.

    Kennedy Home in Kinston is a part of the Baptist Children's Homes of NC (BCH) statewide ministries. Kennedy Home offers cottage homes for vulnerable children and family care cottages for single mothers and their children. Kennedy Home also provides foster care and foster-to-adopt services.

    Moving forward, the chapter is looking for new ideas and innovative ways to interact with the community. The chapter attends local bike nights and gets to know the local Legion and VFW members in the process. Being small, co-hosting events is a great avenue for creating events without overwhelming the members. The goal is to advertise that they are there, because alot of people don't know that the chapter is there.

    The Chapter is working on merchandise and hopes to have it available for purchase very soon.

    Finally, the chapter does want to participate in Kinston's Annual BBQ Fest. The event draws thousands of people from all over, so the chapter is going to try and set up a booth.

    Stewy's Garage Episode 2025 03

    Brother Stewy returns to the podcast with his segment entitled "Stewy's Garage".

    Today we talk about his own experiences with his recent transmission failure. While researching his repairs and his discovery of trending failures on the Compensator Sprocket. As the mileage is accrued, the splines wear and could fail entirely. It's an individual decision, but you may want to consider preventive replacement. (Baker Drivetrain Link below)

    What do you think about that?

    We get sidetracked talking about breaking down on our chapter's return from our DC Memorial Weekend and how that ended up building our Brotherhood. This particular event also caused the chapter to implement the Life 360 group when traveling over the road as a group.

    We talk about what to consider throwing in your saddlebags when heading out as a group. A small 1-gallon gas container, a small rechargeable battery charger, a small air pump, and other things we include based on our experiences.

    We included some laughs from our own experiences to wrap the episode.
