Peaches takes this one head-on—and yeah, it’s uncomfortable.

A clip from the Sean Ryan Show episode with Pete Blaber is making the rounds, pushing a version of events that doesn’t line up with what’s been publicly documented for years. So let’s talk about it.

This episode breaks down the story of John Chapman, what actually happened on that mountain, and why the truth matters more than protecting egos or narratives.

Peaches isn’t here to tear anyone down—but he is here to hold the line: accountability matters. Brotherhood matters. And rewriting history to make people feel better? That’s not how this works.

The footage exists. The reports exist. The Medal of Honor wasn’t handed out lightly.

So the real question is—why are we still arguing about this?
