#189: Jerry Quickel, Big Helmet Guy
Jerry Quickel is a big helmet guy. I came across Jerry on Twitter/X and was instantly drawn to his epic football helmet collection, now 572 helmets and counting.
He's a great guy, with a passion for sports, football, and representing the smaller schools, because in addition to helmets from the Blue Bloods, he has some schools you've never heard of.
We nerd out over football gear and helmets, including a few of my own, on this episode of PICK UP THE SIX.

#188: Caleb Cook, End of Watch Foundation
Every day, men and women in law enforcement across this country leave their homes and families to answer the call of service to a greater mission. Tragically, this call to service can require a heavy sacrifice. This sacrifice is not only made up by the dangers that come with violent situations, but the cumulative stress from the burden of the badge.
Caleb Cook and the End of Watch Foundation want to make sure that their sacrifice does not go unnoticed and that they have the support they need.
Cook and the EOWF are gearing up for their annual memorial ruck event. During 2023, there were 138 Law Enforcement Officers all over the country who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Their lives.
With the mission to honor those Officers, they will carry one pound of weight for every officer over a continuous 42-hour period representing the officer’s final 10-42 call.
Today, we meet Caleb, hear his story and learn more about their work to honor their fallen brothers and sisters and support their families through:
Honor: They honor the fallen with meaningful actions in the event and messaging.
Support: They support the families of the fallen, officers injured in the line of duty, and assist where they can when struggling with mental health.
Educate: Spread awareness to the public about other unknown aspects of law enforcement that may be misunderstood. They also lean in on strong core values to build better officers, units, friends and family members.
