The Topshelfers Podcast

What makes a person good?   Being an individual and treating each other respect is one of the biggest topics to take away from the start of this episode. We get into the talk of living in Utah and the culture that surrounds it. Kailey grew up LDS and discusses her outlook and what drove her to leave the church. The importance of outside perspectives can change a lot in Utah's culture. And hearing stories of those who left, I hope, will give comfort to others who might be struggling.   A crazy circumstance happens. We get on the topic of true crime and find out Kailey, years ago, was acquaintances with someone who had previously murdered another person. It is quiet the crazy discussion!   PARANORMAL. YES! We got into some paranormal talk. Kailey is an avid paranormal fan and done a lot of investigations herself! Skinwalker Ranch, Dybbk Box, and personal stories get shares. It was exciting. I also might have some spirits in my house. Cheers??   Finally we get to close out on Kailey's success on Tiktok.

A legend to the podcast as of recently finally gets to sit down with me. And boy did he make this a top tier episode. For those of who you don't know, Aidan has been a talk on several recent episodes across the Topshelfers sponsored shows. From funny stories to a certain shedding incident. I knew I had to get him on. We covered a large range of topics in this episode. A lot of the main focus was on Aidan's decision to leave the LDS church here in Utah. The things that led him to make that decision, his life while he was involved, and where he sees everything at this point. We also branched off on many different stories. One being of a shocking incident at previous job that evolves a grown man, poop, and a floor. It's disgusting. We also get into the funny side of Aidan for a lot of the podcast with his recent step into the world of romance. And Yes....we talk about the shedding. If you know you know. Thanks again to Aidan. He doesn't get too involved in social media. Ill pass on any message you want to sen

I am always excited to have the legend himself Calford on for a life update. Not only do we get some super hot tea in regards to certain individuals. But we get into some deeper discussion about dating culture and the destructive nature of not communicating ones full intentions. On lighter subjects: We discuss how weird it is that our generation will be the last ones to experience life before having smart phones. And how weird it was to not be able to have world wide access in our pocket. On top of the fact we will be the old people who will be yelling at the kids how we use to run the streets without technology. Also the stories we will tell about living in 2020. We might not realize it now, but in the future, they will teach history classes about 2020 and the impact it had. And several other topics that ill leave for you to find out. Thank you Calford for always being an amazing guest!   Calford's Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/user/CalfordZahne

#hunting #outdoors #podcast #utah I had the pleasure of getting an old friend from school on. Cody and I have known each other for close to 20 years! From Woods Cross Elementary through Woods Cross High School, we both attended and never left. Cody has ventured into outdoor vlogging and has become a father to three children. We get to hear his horrifying story of his first daughter being born and the tole that it took. His families property down in Woods Cross and the decision to sell it. The things that got Cody into hunting and outdoors, his first kill and harvest, dream tags and locations, and what he wants to do with the future of his channel linked here: Stahle Outdoors: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOl9rNfAB_yN3WCu541zGPw Make sure to go show some love to this hard working father who has dreams of being a full time outdoor vlogger!

Brianna Wendorf is an inspiring drummer and tattoo artist who is establishing herself as a fantastic artist on both fronts. Erika Hatch is also a musician and has recently gone viral on tiktok! I had the opportunity to set down with both of them and discuss the world of tattooing and being a musician in this covid laced landscape. Getting to hear new perspectives on things I know nothing about is always entertaining for me. We also had the pleasure of Richard Wittaker showing up for a little bit through a very interesting set of coincidences. Tinder really can put you in some funny situations! Make sure to check out their social medias discussed near the end!

I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Kassidy to go over a topic that should get more attention. And that is leaving a religious organization. Specifically, since we are in Utah, leaving the LDS church. Every story that you hear will be unique, and this one is no exception. With Kassidy having to mature and step up at a young age for her family, it left her questioning at a younger age. And through some personal encounters, she chose to leave the church. (I don't want to give it all away, other wise you wont watch!) I want to personally thank Kassidy for being open and discussing this subject, as well as everyone who reached out to me after the last episode with Cole Cook asking if I can do more episodes similar to this. If you want to see more, please let me know. And if you want to come and tell your story, the door is always open.

I have the amazing opportunity to sit down with Dalton Jensen, creator of The Thinking Project! The Thinking Project is a wonderful podcast that gives small business owners an opportunity to talk about their company. For Dalton to step up during Covid and create a show to allow these business owners to go and spread their products and services is a very awesome thing. Hats off to Dalton. We also get to hear Dalton's message on how to become successful. On top of tips and tricks for creating a lot of value for yourself. I was honored to have almost two hours of Dalton's time, he has a wonderful mind and a very positive outlook. Make sure you go show some support to him!

Cole Cook is a Woods Cross High School Alumni, class of 2012. A return missionary. And now a Ex-LDS member. Cole gives us his story of growing up very LDS, going on a mission, and than choosing to leave the church. As well as the shift in mindset and exploration of new and different things. This interview sparked a lot of discussion outside of the podcast. We are both individuals who are trying to find our way in life and willing to discuss it for others to listen. Remain kind and pleasant. Thank you.

"The Virgin Suicides" By Jeffrey Eugenides. There are a lot of heavy subjects in this book, and in turn, a lot of heavy subjects for this episode of the podcast. The full crew was here for this one, and of course we get into some other stories aside from the book. It is always a great time when we get together for the book club! #saltlakecity #bookclub #books

The anime club gets back together to talk about "Overlord". What looks like a simple man that gets stuck in a video game, might turn into something more sinister. We get to see the main character interact with NPC's (Non-Player Characters) in this video game. But they are acting different, almost like they are making decisions that aren't coded in. We give our reviews, input, and predictions for what the future might hold for this anime!   #overlord #anime #albedo #rezero #konosuba #onepiece #naruto #manga #overlordanime #ainzooalgown #animememes #otaku #isekaiquartet #tokyoghoul #darlinginthefranxx #swordartonline #demonslayer #myheroacademia #blackclover #ww #therisingoftheshieldhero #animegirl #cosplay #attackontitan #shalltear #animegirls #kaguyasamaloveiswar #isekai #onepunchman #bhfyp

From catching covid 19, workplace issues, society flaws, personal stories when meeting new people, the return of Calford's Youtube channel (Link below) and some tea? This episode ended up epic.

Davis County friends get back together after almost 10 years! Kyle Cook and Ryan A. sit back down and discuss growing up in the area and where life took us after high school. All of us had spent time at Woods Cross High School, so call this a mini 2012 reunion (yes we are getting old). Its always interesting to see the perspective differences on stories we hold so close to our hearts from our youth. As well as the branching off into adult hood. It was awesome being able to sit down and have conversations with two people who were so pivotal in my socializing in high school.

James and Sarah are back for another episode. But with an additional special guest. Their baby! A Topshelfers first. We have a wide range of topics this episode. From the candid conversation about being first time parents. To James' experiences with job-core. And the amazing story of how they met each other. PLUS BABY. ITS CUTE.   #parents #parenting #family #kids #love #children #baby #education #momlife #mom #parenthood #motherhood #dad #school #teachers #covid #students #happy #maman #mother #learning #life #fun #familytime #babies #mum #child #parent #dadlife #bhfyp

The gang gets back together for the monthly episode! That's right, its Silence of the Lambs! One of the greatest psychological thrillers/crime/horror books to be written. This is a series of books, all following the horrendous main character, Hannibal Lecter. A brilliant psychiatrist, turned cannibalistic murderer! If that doesn't get you in, the fact that he isn't necessarily the antagonist in this book. Or at least, not the main antagonist. That role is filled by Buffalo Bill. If reading isn't a hobby of yours, Silence of the Lambs is a fantastic movie that does a good job at following the book. #bookclub #books #bookpodcast 

HuntingSasquatch and Saltyfrank sit down with Wes on a zoom call for another episode of TSP! We talk about upcoming games as well as the blandness we are starting to feel with similar styled games. Dark Souls type games and battle royals seem to be dominating the genre as of late. we also spend the last half of the show talking about paranormal, Cryptozoology, the importance of perspective and living in our own personal stories.  Check out Sasquatch at twitch.tv/huntingsasquatch   Saltyfrank.com for any of Salty's content!  

JP Anime Club sits down for another monthly episode. We are here to discuss the 2005 epic anime Samurai Champloo. This anime follows three nomads trying to find there way during Edo-Era in Japan. This uniquely has a very heavy hip-hop influence mixed with humor and drama. The story isn't in your face either, character development happens over each episode through random events. Even though they are sort of working towards a common goal, its not about the ending, its about the journey with this show.

James and Sarah come to do an episode! We drink a little whisky and get into some personal stories of our lives. James tells us of the time his vape blew up in his face. We hear from the point of it happening to the effects that it is still having. And this is just a small portion of the show. Paranormal experiences, deep theories about life, life here in Utah, and screwball. Make sure to leave a comment and tell me your favorite part of the show!   #utah #saltlakecity #slc #utahisrad #nature #utahgram #travel #usa #utahphotographer #photography #arizona #hiking #adventure #roadtrip #moab #mountains #texas #visitutah #love #parkcity #california #explore #naturephotography #utahphotography #provo #landscape #utahunique #saltlake #utahcounty #bhfyp
