Bonifay Banter — Episode 24
This episode is a little different — and one you don’t want to miss.

Uncle Rusty Napier joins his nephews Parks and Shane in the Banter Studio, and from the moment he sits down… he pretty much takes over. And honestly, the boys weren’t about to interrupt — because Rusty came loaded with stories.

Rusty dives deep into his life, including his time serving in Vietnam as a Lieutenant in the Air Force, where he shares firsthand stories about being drafted, following in his father’s footsteps, and multiple moments where he was nearly shot out of the sky. It’s raw, intense, and fascinating — a life experience far removed from anything Parks and Shane have known.

The episode also covers:
✈️ What it was like being drafted and serving in Vietnam
📸 Rusty bringing in old family photos — some dating back to the 1800s
🏌️ Letting the boys know just how bad they are at golf (and that they’ll never beat him)
❤️ Pride, perspective, and family history across generations

This isn’t your typical Bonifay Banter episode — but it’s a powerful one. Full of wild stories, humor, history, and moments that will have you completely locked in.

Tune in, buckle up, and locate the nearest emergency exit above the wings — this one’s a trip.

Parks and Shane are joined by Tyler Bereman, one of the most creative and fearless riders in motocross. The boys sit down with Tyler to break down the insane Island Hopper project he just completed with Red Bull and Apple — a one-of-a-kind mission where Tyler motocrossed across multiple islands, sending massive gaps and pulling off unreal riding in one of the wildest locations imaginable.
Parks and Tyler back from years of crossing paths on Red Bull projects, and Parks even played a small role in helping with the Island Hopper, making this episode extra special. Together, they dive deep into what it really took to bring a project of this size to life.

The episode covers:
🏝️ The idea behind Island Hopper and how it came together
🏍️ What it takes to build, test, and send massive island gaps
🎥 Working with Red Bull & Apple on a top-tier production
🛠️ The planning, setbacks, and pressure behind each individual set
🤝 Cross-sport friendships and respect between action sports athletes

It’s a fun, insightful conversation with a world-class athlete pushing limits in a totally different lane, and the boys were fired up to have Tyler in the studio.
