A midlife crisis motorcycle purchase in the hands of a novice rider turns into a comedy of errors and nearly a death wish. Catch this humorous story that lightens the mood on this tension filled election day.

This week we drop two stories together.

The first is a personal follow-up to Brent's story of hitting rock bottom in a fishing incident. My story tells of a rafting trip that looked like it might end very badly. I was violently thrown from the raft while surfing the "Washing Machine" on the Gulley in West Virginia. I realized at one point my next breath would be to breathe in water and that would be my last.

The second story is the the story of a wedding with a strange twist. Shane and Melissa find out the true definition of one flesh in the most unexpected place. A friendship forged on the baseball diamond survives the depths of disability. Grab a Kleenex. This story first appeared in "Chicken Soup for the Bride's Soul."

What started as a fishing trip with his 8yr old son turns into a battle of life and death with the river in Pennsylvania. Brent Henderson of Unleashed Men Podcast joins us to share a dramatic story of near death as he challenges a river with his son. He helps us identify elements that create great stories and how to communicate them. In the podcast he also shares the transformation it made in he and his son.
