Today is the first time we’ve used Blog Talk Radio for our podcasting needs.
Jered Feldman is one of Mike’s old high school friends who shares three distinct experiences with Mike:
- They met in geometry class during Mike’s freshman year (Jered was a sophomore).
- Both were involved in Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC).
- Both played wide receiver and defensive back on the SMW Vikings football team.
Jered also talks about his having been in a coma for two weeks in 1998 – a period of time that saw Mike visit him in the hospital every day.
Jered is now living in Springfield, Missouri (hence the need to call it in) and recently had a child.
