Dinerpod 52: Chris Jones & Frank Boger

"If I’m running, something is seriously wrong—it's a serious felony."

Pull up a chair and get ready for a heavy-hitting episode of The Diner Podcast! This week, Red Velvet is back in the studio with two absolute powerhouses from our local community: active law enforcement veteran and master’s strongman competitor Chris, and local entrepreneur Frank, owner of Sycamore Supplements, New Image Nutrition, and Work Fuel.

In this episode, we take a trip down memory lane as Chris and Red swap stories from their old semi-pro football days playing for the West Central Wildcats and the Indiana Cutters. Chris opens up about his 18-year career in law enforcement, his 14 years in the Indiana Army National Guard, and how a late-career transition into the Strongman community led him to win his very first novice competition and secure a bid for the 2027 Nationals.

Plus, Frank breaks down how a dangerous bout with heat exhaustion on a commercial roofing job inspired him to formulate Work Water—a premium hydration powder designed for hard-working bodies. The guys share how a 15-year church-born friendship blossomed into a powerful athletic sponsorship, and they give us an exclusive first look at Frank's latest venture: a healthy, delicious meal-prep line called Work Fuel launching right inside the Honey Creek Mall.

Whether you're into local sports history, looking to take your training to the next level, or just love a story about local guys supporting local guys, this is one episode you don't want to miss.
