The Antihero Broadcast

Patreon Tuesday – Roasting SF Fanboys (Feb 10, 2026)
Podcast for: Veterans, First Responders, and Blue Collar Americans
Hosts: Tyler (C), Mike (B), Jimmy (A)
Date: February 10, 2026
Theme: Candid, humor-packed roundtable that rips into “Special Forces fanboys,” defends discourse and anti-communist views, and veers into policing, dark web stories, generational decay, and more.

Main Theme & Purpose

This episode centers on calling out and humorously “roasting” a certain breed of Special Forces (SF) gun community “fanboys” who are internet critics but lack real-world experience. The hosts also debate the boundaries of podcast platforming (who to give a voice to), defend the importance of hearing opposing views, and lament cultural and generational decline—from empathy to education—while weaving in personal stories from police work, military life, and the dark side of the internet.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Roasting "SF Fanboys" and Internet Haters

• The hosts discuss a persistent internet troll (the “fat doughboy”/“little tortilla roll”) who posted nasty comments about them and their platform.
• The troll wished failure on the podcast and the hosts’ families; the hosts react with both scorn and humor.
• Quote [08:08]:
  Jimmy (A): “I really enjoyed watching you verbally, you know—oh my God—make fun of that little tortilla roll.”
• They deconstruct internet “hate comments,” address clout-chasing, and compare engaging with online haters to public confrontations at a pizza joint.
• Quote [11:10]:
  Mike (B): “They followed up with: ‘I hope your mental health's okay. I hope your business fails. I hope your family goes hungry…I hope your brain’s okay.’ That's quite the message. Either be a dick—I respect the dick—but stay the dick the whole way.”

3. Hardline Anti-Communist Position

• The hosts push back on equating all self-proclaimed communists (even naive college students) with murder, leading to a Socratic-style argument.
• Quote [30:34]:
  Jimmy (A): “She is espousing an ideology that wants to do that. That is what she's doing. So she's either complicit with it or she's too stupid to read it and understand it. Either way, she's my enemy. Period, point blank.”

6. Declining Empathy and Societal Structures

• Quote [77:05]:
  Mike (B): “We created the people. They're not able to do that… Now you have an entire generation of people that don't want rules, don't care... It's a decline in society.”

  Tyler (C): “They not only were pedophiles to the children, they also tortured them and killed them and drank their blood, ate them. I don't know how much more evil you can get.”
