TNQP Internal Episode – Summer of 2025 Recap
In this week’s special edition of the Team Never Quit Podcast, Marcus, Melanie, and Hunter look back on the summer of 2025—a season filled with unforgettable adventures, joyful moments, and one devastating event. Marcus and Hunter recount their personal involvement in the recovery efforts during the tragic 4th of July flood in Kerrville, Texas, offering a raw glimpse into the resilience and service that define the TNQ spirit.
But this episode is more than a recap. It’s a reminder of what life can be when rooted in family, fun, patriotism, and service to others. The Crew” is moving onward to a fabulous line-up of guests for rest of the 2025 season.
Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or are tuning in for the first time, welcome to the Team Never Quit Podcast—where stories of courage, resilience, and never quitting take center stage.
In this episode you will hear:
• There’s some age where you just shouldn’t do [Roller Coasters] anymore and I’m definitely past that age. (3:06)
• What is it about things that cause you pain. “He’s got horrible [sickness]” – let’s try that. (5:00)
• [What is a “never again” experience that you’ve done and absolutely hated?] “I thought it was scuba diving, but once I got in the water in Hawaii, I actually loved it a lot.” (5:54)
• We both just started a workout routine. (7:05)
• Marcus and Melanie share highlights of their Hawaii trip, including Pearl Harbor, Diamondhead, Waikiki, and Trident Adventures, where they literally throw your ass out of the helicopter into the ocean. (8:20)
• On Memorial Day we went to the Danny Dietz Memorial Roping in Decatur, Texas. (11:43)
• The Luttrell’s stop in Las Vegas had many very cool stops. Tom Brady & Jim Gray opened a sports museum in the Fontainebleau Hotel. We suggest seeing Boulder city and Hoover dam. (12:56)
• See the Navy SEAL Museum in Fort Pierce, Florida, as well as in San Diego. (18:00)
• We watched David Copperfield. And if you haven’t seen him – some of the stuff he pulled off was unbelievable, including a gigantic UFO.
• Their visit to Lake Tahoe starts at 22:28.
• On July 4th weekend, there was a terrible storm that cam over Texas. Most have heard about what happened at Camp Mystic. Marcus, Morgan, and Hunter volunteered to assist with search and recovery for 8 days. That was the saddest thing Marcus had ever been a part of. “We’re talking about babies.” (24:47)
• “Hands down. Texans: You all are the best people on the planet of Earth.” (26:38)
• When the flood came through the mountain, it hit Mystic at the headwater, but the river is 120 miles. It was complete devastation from the beginning to the end. (27:35)
• The gamechanger – the ones that changed the dynamic of everything were the excavator drivers. (29:26)
• One of the most difficult things was the search. You gotta understand the situation we were in. You’re looking for something hoping you don’t find. (34:17)
If you drive through Houston, you’ll see green ribbons on gates and mailboxes and trees. It’s for all the lives lost. (39:25)
• When you lose your child, that’s the hardest burden that can be strapped on you. (39:39)
• Axe went to the Naval Academy Baseball and Leadership Camp. (45:02)
• We attended the congressional baseball game. If you ever wanted a real opportunity to yell at your congressman, go to the baseball game. (45:29)
• On September 12th and 13th, the Danny Dietz Barbeque Cookoff takes place at the Yogi Bear Jellystone Park in Waller, Texas.
