In this episode of Real Men Hug, join Jim and Ben as they kick back and reminisce about their adventures of growing up around, and ultimately returning to, their hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan. From chowing down on Yesterdog's mouthwatering (depending on who you ask...) delights to cruising along the serene White Pine Trail, they paint a vivid picture of the good times they've shared.
Jim and Ben dive into what makes Grand Rapids special - the tight-knit community. They swap stories about bumping into old pals and the camaraderie that comes with it. Through laughter and banter, they highlight the importance of having a solid crew by your side.

But it's not all smooth sailing. They get real about the challenges of returning to familiar turf after living out of state for several years. It's a rollercoaster of emotions - the joy of rediscovery mixed with the struggle to find your place again. Their honest chat invites listeners to ponder their own journey back home and the quest for belonging.
So grab a brew, kombucha, Vernors, Robinette's cider, or whatever Grand Rapids-esque beverage appeals to you and tune in as Jim and Ben lay it all out on the table, sharing laughs, insights, and fond memories.
