Topics include the experience of being deployed during the holiday season, and baseball and football. Recorded Dec. 19, 2025, in Richmond, Mo.Notes:Miranda Jamison's story on Lyons' military service was published Dec. 26 in the print edition of the Richmond News and its sister newspaper, The Excelsior Springs Standard.

The NAIA began using pitch clocks during the 2020s. Shawn might have learned about 20 and out becoming commonplace in the U.S. military while considering joining the Coast Guard Reserve, rather than the story written about the Coast Guard's recruiting efforts.
