The Thought Brothers Podcast: Guest Co-Host Issues A Heartfelt Tribute To His Son

This week’s episode of The Thought Brothers delivers both powerful emotion and thought-provoking conversation. Guest co-host Col. Eric Garvin joins the panel and opens the show with a deeply moving tribute to his late son, Eugene Garvin, who was tragically murdered in Chile three years ago. On what would have been Eugene’s 41st birthday, Col. Garvin reflects on his son’s life, legacy, and the love he brought to everyone around him.

Following this touching moment, the conversation shifts to today’s Hot Topics:

Shedeur Sanders impresses with a stellar performance as quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
The unprecedented developments in Washington, D.C., as former President Donald Trump federalizes the city’s police force, bringing in the military, National Guard, and other federal law enforcement agencies.

From heartfelt remembrance to headline-grabbing news, this episode is an engaging mix of personal reflection and sharp commentary.
