Transcript

[Brent]

Welcome back to the anti hero squad cast. Thursday nights for the boys. Sorry about the late arrival.

[Travis]

We just not.

[Brent]

We just filmed episode 106 with Travis, the ground force commander and the big questionable Tim Kennedy convoy. So we are here. We're gonna take it to 1030. We appreciate everybody hanging on, but I promise you Monday, you're going to understand why it was really. It was such a good interview.

[Travis]

It was. It was great. We not only did we have Travis, we had two more of the. Of the teammates. So don't finally. Don't take my word for it. Don't take Travis's word for it. I guess you'll have to take three people's word for it. That was on the ground. Travis, again, that's. That's your introduction. They know who you are. They're definitely going to know who you are when the. When the episode comes out. Sure, we'll front load that. Drop that Monday.

[Brent]

Yeah, Monday.

[Travis]

All right. You won't have to wait long for it. You will not have to wait long for it. Let's go. We've got a lot of things to cover. The. We will get to the. The. The. The New Orleans terrorist attack. We will get to the Trump.

[Brent]

Where. How many people are in the live chat?

[Travis]

238 on YouTube.

[Brent]

Okay. Yeah, because we're showing that. We're.

[Drew]

Oh, on the chat.

[Brent]

We're showing that.

[Drew]

238. But viewers.

[Travis]

Did you.

[Brent]

Did you go from the schedule? Did you go from the calendar?

[Drew]

I did.

[Travis]

Okay.

[Brent]

Yeah, because it's showing that we're still scheduled.

[Drew]

Well, I did. I went from there.

[Travis]

You're good. You're good. And. And there wasn't usually when that does. There's two of them on the schedule. There was only one on the schedule. It's just something.

[Brent]

There is another one on the schedule.

[Travis]

Well, it's what we got.

[Drew]

But.

[Travis]

All right, but everyone's. Everyone's in here.

[Brent]

Let's do it.

[Travis]

We're in the. We're in the right spot. They would. That many people couldn't have flooded in. If he did it did it wrong. Because as long as people can see it.

[Brent]

Because I can usually watch it and I can't watch it.

[Travis]

I'm watching it right now.

[Brent]

Oh, you are?

[Travis]

Yeah, I'm watching right now.

[Brent]

Let's go.

[Travis]

All right. Sorry you guys had to see a little bit of the. How the sausage gets made, but this is what. This is live. This.

[Brent]

You know, it's not the grossest thing you could see on the show.

[Travis]

No, no. The. We'll Just. We'll talk a. We'll tease it. We'll tease a little bit of the. The Tim Kennedy stuff. Listen, you guys can super chat. Super chat Travis if you want, but I'm telling you, the. We covered it in detail from the guys on the ground. And again, like I said, Travis was the ground force commander. Doesn't mean he knows everything that went on. But let me tell you, a lot of communication is going to go through him. But that's. Well, that's why we had other guys on the show.

[Kevin]

Absolutely.

[Travis]

The. And some of those guys. That one. One was Kevin was. The last time you talked to Kevin. He was the senior senior Echo on the team.

[Kevin]

We rode through that entire deployment.

[Travis]

That's right.

[Kevin]

Hadn't spoken to him in 15 years.

[Travis]

So as. As an Echo myself on a team. And you were an Echo when you were enlisted before being an officer.

[Kevin]

Absolutely.

[Travis]

Let me tell you, there's only two relationships between an Echo, a senior Echo, and. Because most. I don't. I haven't heard it any other way, it's going to be the senior Echo and the ground force commander. Senior echo is going to be in his hip pocket because. And those relationships, you're their friends for life. Yeah. Or you don't get along real well. And it's a long deployment.

[Kevin]

That's true.

[Travis]

And I've had both. I've had. I've had last night. I have had both. I only had one of the other. And the other ones are lifelong friends.

[Drew]

Sure.

[Travis]

Absolutely.

[Kevin]

Yeah. I don't know why we didn't stay in touch after all these years. Just, you know, we went our separate ways and the, you know, life hits.

[Travis]

You, man, life really hard, doesn't it?

[Kevin]

God, it was so good seeing him after all those years and talking to him.

[Travis]

Yeah. So we again, we went over that in detail from the guys on the ground and there were a few stories we added in that weren't in the original episode because we weren't 100 at the time.

[Brent]

And it was. We were learning in real time. You'll see some. We were corrected a couple times. You know, the things that questions we asked we didn't know the answer to.

[Travis]

Yeah. And I was so glad there were small corrections that. That was always my, my biggest concern after we finally hit 50 grenades. Right. To find out, oh, you know, you're actually wrong on one thing. And like here. So to talk about specifically, like, here's one thing that we talk about. It was like, hey, you know, you were wrong on this. And when you said that to me. Do you remember. Do you remember us having this conversation?

[Kevin]

I do.

[Travis]

And. And I was like, what was I wrong about? And you're like, well, you said we called the family out after Tim messed up that family with an errant grenade throw, but they actually walked out.

[Kevin]

Just walked out.

[Travis]

And I was like, oh, that. Okay, that's it. He's like, yeah. He goes, well, yeah, that's how, you know, you said it one way, but that's not how it happened. I'm like, okay, I will take that. If that's. If that's where we're wrong, I can. I can live with that.

[Brent]

Some super chats.

[Travis]

Yes. If we got super chats, let's.

[Drew]

All right, guys. I'm just trying to fix getting everybody from the other live to this one. Oh, all right, let's see.

[Travis]

I don't.

[Drew]

I got it fixed.

[Travis]

All right.

[Drew]

Less than 30 seconds. David Brent mentions Tim Kennedy that lives rent free.

[Travis]

Yeah, absolutely. Let me tell you, stolen valor and lies for money will always live rent free in my mind. And will you please watch the Monday episode of his three teammates backing up everything we said and a little bit more because they were actually there. So I would challenge you to say, why doesn't that live rent free in your mind? Have some morals. Have some integrity.

[Brent]

But thanks for doing the super chat.

[Travis]

But thank you for the super chat. And even though I was just really harsh on you, thanks for watching. Thanks for being a supporter.

[Brent]

We'll take an opposing view next Thursday. Super Chat, $1.99. After you watch Monday and be like, all right, all right.

[Travis]

Please do. Yes.

[Brent]

Right?

[Drew]

It's going to be huge.

[Travis]

It's going to be huge.

[Drew]

All right. I threw up an apple slice and boot camp during the gas chamber.

[Brent]

Thank you.

[Travis]

Okay. All right.

[Brent]

Oh, no. Somebody donated 50 in the other room, but I don't remember who it was.

[Drew]

That was Plight Design.

[Brent]

Pl Design.

[Drew]

Hey, boys. Love the show. Former Canoff support. Know how to say that?

[Travis]

Yeah. Yeah. KOF. Canadian Special Operations Forces support. Awesome.

[Drew]

An active LEO here. Nice. Any thoughts on having Dallas Alexander, JTF2 sniper and country singer on?

[Brent]

That's right up our alley.

[Drew]

Also, Brent, any thoughts on the tactical barbell program for SWAT selection?

[Brent]

The hell?

[Travis]

I don't know what it is, but it doesn't matter because I'll. I'll. I'll tell you my opinion on it. I. I have. I have two opinions on fitness. When you know what you're trying out for my, My. My program changes to cater exactly what you're about to. To. To do. Anytime you're in a SWAT selection or even a special operation selection, you know, there's going to be some cardio in there and there's going to be, you know, a lot of high intensity training. Do something. High intensity training. And. And if you can, and find out as much as you can about the selection before you get there. So. And then my other thought is always. But after. But after that, I just go classic lift, lift heavy and run a little bit like. Like this.

[Brent]

You still run? No, I run. That's because that's my choice of cardio.

[Travis]

Yeah, I. I used to, when I could. My back hurts too much to run. That sounds like an old man thing, but it's true.

[Brent]

I just push sleds.

[Travis]

Yeah. Yeah, that's the truth. I push sleds now. Yeah. Because it gets my heart rate up really fast and I. I'd rather do that than. Than run. Yep. I do sled pushes instead.

[Drew]

All right. On the other. On the other live link, it says, has Tim Kennedy directly contacted any of you guys? And if so, has he expressed any interest of coming on the podcast?

[Brent]

I'm gonna let you guys. Travis, say what you want.

[Travis]

You want to take that? And unless. Whatever you want to do.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

So I've been.

[Travis]

Don't worry, I'll follow suit.

[Drew]

That was a hundred dollar super chat.

[Travis]

You're about to get your money's worth on that one.

[Brent]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Kevin]

So, yeah, actually, I was sending Tim Kennedy text messages for several days, even when Brent picked me up in the truck, sent him a picture of Brent and I sitting there saying, hey, man, you really need to follow through and just correct the record with me. And, you know, I went on and on, and now I've. You see, somebody sent me a text saying that they were Tim Kennedy's lawyer or something. Says that I better be careful. I'm trying to extort him. I don't know how I can do that. How do you. I'm sure he's a millionaire, Right.

[Travis]

Please do the right thing multiple times.

[Kevin]

He says, well, you need to be very careful here. If you choose to go forward with your criminal activities, the full truth may.

[Travis]

Come out in court.

[Kevin]

Bring it, brother. I just. We just unloaded the truth here, right?

[Travis]

No. Now you want the full truth to come out? I don't think. No. So the full truth matters to you now. Interesting.

[Brent]

What say you, Brent?

[Travis]

I say same thing. I got the. For the first time during this whole time, he. He reached out to me today and said, hey, you know, can can we talk? And I was. Just to be honest with you, between picking Travis up and doing the podcast and now the live is here, I just. Yeah, I did not have time.

[Brent]

But for a thousand dollars, we'll call him live.

[Travis]

But I. But now these finally reached out to me. I will call him.

[Brent]

He's panicking. People say that they think he's in our Patreon because that's what. We didn't tell anybody about you at all. Except for our patreon.

[Travis]

Well, the write up shed a little. I was like, well, that's super random that he finally texted me today. But Travis was like, hey, come clean or I'm going on the podcast. So he got it. He got a heads up from Travis.

[Kevin]

I've been doing that for months. Just please do. Just do the right thing, man. Just come over here. You know, just. Just tell people that you didn't call me a pussy in your book. That's so stupid, man. It's insulting. But you know, I've got. I've got kids. Here's the worst part about it. Tim met my son when he came out there shooting my. My son was a fan of Tim Kennedy's mma. And it can't tell you how bad that hurt when he saw that in the book and he apologized to him. And I was just like, dude, just. Just correct the record, Tim.

[Travis]

Yeah, just.

[Kevin]

I mean, my gosh, dude. I mean, what is this going to cost you to just tell the truth? Y. Lord have mercy, man.

[Travis]

And we, we'll. We'll tease it here. We don't have to go into detail as much as we did on. On the actual show, but I'm sure people are going to say, hey, is that the same Travis that. That did a podcast with Tim Kennedy and he was supposed to correct the record then and he said he was gonna do a recording of correct the record and put it in the front of your podcast.

[Kevin]

Right.

[Travis]

So you did a sit down with him expecting that when it gets released. Right. There would be an apology and a correct the record at the beginning of that video.

[Kevin]

Sure.

[Travis]

And it, surprise, surprise, was missing zero which made you look like an idiot that you came on the show and now there's no context to your guys conversation.

[Kevin]

Right.

[Travis]

But it was, I will say that.

[Brent]

You called that back in when we went to Ohio.

[Travis]

I was afraid of that.

[Brent]

You were like, you guys didn't know each other very well. You had just started talking. You have been very clear with Brent. This is what I'm going to do. Brent was like, okay. And Brent said, I think Tim Kennedy's going to fucking lie to this guy. He's gonna show up and he's gonna say he's gonna do something. He's not gonna follow through with it. And we just kind of waited on that.

[Travis]

But that's why I never really got, like, frustrated with you about that, because you're. Because I always judge people off intentions. That's how I judge people. Right, and your intentions were right because you're like, you know what, Brent, I could go on your podcast, but I'd rather talk to him. You know, this is a problem between me and him, and I'm going to talk to him man to man about this bottom line. And, and, and that's, that's what you chose to do. And we can't be mad at that. You know, to be honest, I think.

[Brent]

That'S really stand up.

[Travis]

Yeah. It wasn't the decision I would have made only because I don't have a lot of faith in him. And what he did is what I was afraid of. But for you willing to take that chance again, I'll tell you now, I'm not mad at that, because that, at the end of it was the right call and you gave him an opportunity and he did. What was the phrase you used for? He bit you twice.

[Kevin]

He bit me twice. Sure did. Just trying to do the right thing. I think all of our intentions should always try to be making peace with people.

[Brent]

And he would have saved so much. I mean, I'm not trying to defend his actions, but if he had just gone on and said, the thing I said about you in the book was wrong, I read the passage and go, I was, you know, stupid for saying that. I'm so sorry. You wouldn't be sitting here?

[Kevin]

No, I wouldn't.

[Brent]

I mean, you know what I'm saying?

[Travis]

Well, I just thought not only would you not be sitting here, I say it time and time again. Everything bad that happens ends, usually if you wait it out, ends up being a good thing. And if we had just had you, it would have been. It have been a great podcast. And, but we'd have had the. Oh, that's just one guy. Because there's always, you know, those people that. It's never enough. And I get that. But. But now, you know, this played out and he didn't come clean with his rebuttal. And so now we had three guys, you know, that. That were willing to come on, and we wouldn't have had that eventually. We wouldn't have had that initially.

[Kevin]

Initially. Right. Yeah.

[Travis]

Right. So everything. Everything happens for a reason. It's like.

[Brent]

That was a really. That was. Although I've never seen everything work out technically like that.

[Drew]

Right?

[Brent]

Oh, my God.

[Travis]

Right?

[Brent]

I mean, we kind of it up on the. Coming onto the Live, but the. The podcast world, we had two people remote. Mind you, we're a bunch of knuckle draggers in here. Drew knows a little bit more than us, but he. You know, he's. He's still learning how to do all this, so. So we have a new studio. We just hooked everything up yesterday, and it went without a hitch. And we haven't listened to it yet, but.

[Travis]

Yeah. Oh, gosh. Don't. Don't. Don't you do that.

[Drew]

Jinxing.

[Travis]

All right, all right.

[Drew]

Sack full of. I. I guess it's. I don't know.

[Travis]

Sack full of nades.

[Drew]

Nades. Sack full of nades. MFDF Thursday night is for the boys. Love y'all, and keep it up. Rent's all paid up, boys.

[Travis]

It's getting there.

[Brent]

It's getting there. Thanks, guys.

[Drew]

Darren Behee. Thanks for the love, man. Yeah. Is that Bo?

[Travis]

Yeah, it's Bo.

[Drew]

All right. Nice, Brent. Has to do with the Tenacious D dance that has never been duplicated or imitated since the day he did it.

[Brent]

Do it.

[Drew]

I may double it.

[Brent]

A hundred bucks.

[Travis]

Brent.

[Brent]

A hundred bucks. Tenacious, you can't not do it.

[Travis]

There's two things.

[Drew]

The Pig Prince only fans page.

[Travis]

Guys, he's. He's in the middle. Okay, so what he's referring to is the middle of two things. We. I remember I was talking. Someone super chatted us last week. And, Bo, I hope you were watching. They asked us if we ever went the Cadillac Ranch.

[Brent]

Yes.

[Travis]

And I was like, oh, yeah. We went to the Cadillac Ranch one night, and I pulled off for drunk. This ridiculous trucker Double Dan, like, driving the big rig. Double Dutch dance that I've never been able to replicate again. But that wasn't Tenacious D. There was a time we were listening to Tenacious D. Oh. Their song, the greatest. This is the greatest and best story in the world. Tribute. Name of the song is tribute. And when he's like, flicky flick. I'm not gonna do that. But I nailed it. He turned it down, and I nailed it. Like, I was on the recording. And he looks at me like, the hell is wrong with you? I'm like, I don't know. I can't do it again. I can't do it again.

[Brent]

What happened? I blacked out.

[Travis]

Yeah. Oh. Me and Bo have Had some good times. Bo, get down here for a live.

[Drew]

All right, any chance you guys get Big Drew's brother, Ruben Alvarez from Paradox Training Solutions on the show?

[Brent]

I've been asking. I've been asking Ruben to come on this show since before Brent was here.

[Travis]

Do you remember this?

[Brent]

He does. He says he wants to come on. I don't really know if it's a. It's a logistical thing or a time at work thing. I know he's on the full time SWAT team and those guys have to literally take vacation to take to travel, but yeah, we want Ruben on. I've known Reuben for years, and he's a good dude, so.

[Drew]

All right. Are armored trucks a viable terrorist target? If so, I need to carry more ammo.

[Brent]

Love y'all bros. Paradise.

[Drew]

I don't know. All I can say is watch out for those cyber trucks out there, buddy.

[Travis]

That's. I think he's referring to that. But however you read that, Travis, I'll let you take a stab at that. Are armored trucks a viable terrorist target?

[Brent]

No, it's a hard target. It's the hardest of hard targets.

[Kevin]

Depends on what's in them.

[Travis]

The perfect answer. It depends on what's in them and.

[Drew]

What kind of man is driving it.

[Brent]

Every single. Every great bank robbery movie has that one scene where they. They take an armor car.

[Drew]

Masterminds. Love it. You ever seen Masterminds?

[Brent]

No, but I've seen the Town. I've seen Den of Thieves.

[Drew]

Oh, freaking hilarious.

[Travis]

With Zach Galifianakis.

[Brent]

Master.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Oh, that was so good.

[Drew]

It's based off of a true story out of Florida. Armored trucks.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Yeah. Or they did it. Love that movie. Hilarious. A lot of one liner. So, fellas, big fan. I'm a former firefighter and my childhood best friend is a 18D in third group.

[Travis]

Nice.

[Drew]

I'm a Philly native and we'll be at the show in Philly. Do you think Tim D. Writers will believe you after this episode?

[Travis]

No, I believe we will take what's left. Yeah. What's left of the middle ground has no choice but. But to come over and. And that's. That's at the day. That's. That's all you're looking for. Whether. Whether it's this or a presidential election. You're always looking for the moderates because everyone's already in their fence and they're not changing.

[Brent]

Yeah. And you got to see firsthand the difference between a studio session and alive.

[Travis]

I did.

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Travis]

A little bit different, huh?

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Let's see. Risky Ranger. Have Vanessa, call Tim. Make sure he says Captain Encennio shows.

[Brent]

Encino Captaino shows no mercy.

[Travis]

Yeah, he said his buddies a 18 Delta in third group. Now, you were. When you were the ground force commander during that convoy, you were in seventh group.

[Kevin]

Right.

[Travis]

But your original group was third. That's right. You were a third grouper.

[Kevin]

Absolutely.

[Travis]

And that's another rare thing. Like, not a lot of guys get to serve in two different groups. It's a pretty rare thing.

[Brent]

Is it really?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Oh, wow. I didn't know.

[Travis]

Yeah. You start in one group.

[Brent]

Generally that's home. What, Even through rank.

[Travis]

What. Give me some of the examples of why someone would switch groups.

[Kevin]

You may hit swick and may have some family issues and you want to stay on brag, which is now just third group. But, you know, Bragg's going to be the center of universe for swic. Heard use of sock, use of fic. Changing. So, yeah, you may change in groups.

[Travis]

It's rare. It happens, but it's rare.

[Kevin]

Yeah, you kind of have to typically go back and retake a language.

[Travis]

That's right. Every group has a. So kind of. There are some groups that do kind of share languages. I can't remember exactly which ones they are, but some share languages and so it's an easier transition.

[Kevin]

It is, but a lot of the stuff with the groups is they have their own personality and it's hard. We had to deal with that in Afghanistan. We had a commander came from first group, love first group guys. But there's just. They have a different way of doing things. And it's not that one's right and one's wrong. It's just that it's different. So when you have. Sometimes leaders will come into organizations and what they'll try to do is make the entire organization change to them instead of taking 30, 45 days learning how that organization operates.

[Travis]

Right. Because you're not changing all those guys. You're not changing all those guys. You better change to them and then change. Maybe one of the few things that something you see differently is worth changing.

[Brent]

Even if you're going to change everything you have to say, I gave it 30, 45 days and now I'm changing all this.

[Travis]

Exactly. To come in day one and be like, and this is how we now do it. Well, you'll get nowhere on that. So did you change from third to seventh because you went officer? Was that. Was that the catalyst that you change your groups?

[Kevin]

Yeah, so I actually tried to go back to third group, and one of my old teammates was a first Sergeant of language. So once I found out I was going to seventh, Love going to seventh group, but I wanted to kind of go back home to third.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Kevin]

I asked him, I'm like, hey, man, can you got any other language slots open up for, like, French, Portuguese, whatever? So he. He's penciled me in, let me take. Put me into a French class.

[Travis]

What was your original language? Or did you. Did you take language?

[Kevin]

Portuguese?

[Travis]

Portuguese. Okay, Portuguese.

[Kevin]

So that's spoken in third group. Some of the colonial states, and they must have gone through their rosters and checks and balances and said, why we have a seventh group officer taking French? So they yanked me out, put me back in Spanish. But, yeah, that's one of the big things right there, is the language is huge determining factor.

[Drew]

All right, Brent, I've seen countless hours of combat footage of. Of Afghanistan.

[Travis]

So have I.

[Drew]

Do you have any combat footage you could share? And what are your thoughts on troops videoing battles and sharing them on the Internet?

[Travis]

I think that's a good question, actually. I used to wear a helmet cam at group, and there's somewhere in my tough box there is some helmet cam footage of. I have, but I haven't seen it in years. But it's somewhere, and I will run into it again. So I'll never get the ISR footage because that's. That's. That's generally sensitive information. And what are my thoughts of guys doing it? I don't have. I. I don't have a problem with it. Like, in a weird way, I don't think that. I don't think tier one guys should ever release that. But I think when. I think when a certain amount of time has gone by, but that's the problem. What. What is that certain amount of time? I don't know. When a certain amount of time has gone by, I think it is okay to release it because I think it's a. I think it's a good thing. I think people should see our. Our. Our guys in combat doing things and giving them something to. To look at and to aspire to be.

[Drew]

It's inspirational.

[Travis]

You're right. We can be. If we. If we're so secret, people don't know enough to want to be something they don't know anything about. I think we can out secret ourselves right. Right out of recruitment, Brent.

[Drew]

Absolutely, Brent. The world goes mad. Max, what plate carrier setup do you go for? What level plates, side plates? What carrier brand?

[Brent]

You asked 80 questions for 9.99.

[Drew]

What would be your go to caliber for your main.

[Travis]

Brent?

[Drew]

Go in less than 30 seconds.

[Travis]

None of that.

[Kevin]

Exactly.

[Travis]

I don't need a carrier set up for my long gun. I'm going light, I'm going long gun, and I'm sniping people from a kilometer away before they ever get close enough to do anything about it. Skirted it.

[Drew]

Nice plight design.

[Brent]

Marika.

[Drew]

Marika. I hope everyone had a good New Year's. Love the studio apologizes for being late. That's funny. How much do you all think that overly exaggerated stories like these and others prevent real stories of valor and courage from being told? Hope you like the gifts.

[Travis]

Love that question. Travis, start us off.

[Drew]

Great question.

[Kevin]

Yeah, it serves to just bury the truth. It doesn't look as, I guess, valorous. Once you hear someone make up this animated story that has just every possible bell and whistle on it, then when you look at what happened on the ground, as unbelievable as it may have been, it will never compare to that.

[Travis]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Kevin]

It does it a huge injustice.

[Travis]

You got anything different than that, Tyler?

[Brent]

I just think. I mean, I'll be the first one to say it. I've heard some tremendous regular army stories, but people only want the soft stories. There's a couple. There's the. The outpost, I think. But I mean like my battalion before I. The. The deployment before I came, they lost three. HHC lost. I think they were scouts or snipers. They were on a rooftop fighting for their fucking lives. QRF was coming in. Grenades, the whole nine yard. The whole story is amazing. Yeah, but because they're regular army, I mean, I don't really think producers in Hollywood are even know about it.

[Travis]

I hate it. You know, to dovetail that. Which is a little off this but it. I don't know what it is. We so that same amazing story. We could just put Navy SEAL in the title and talk about it was. And we'll get 100,000 views. But you say, you know, army infantry platoon squad fights for its life on a rooftop. It'll get 10 or 20.

[Brent]

Yeah, and we could have that. We could have them come in and sit down as a survivor and I.

[Travis]

Don'T understand it like a good story is a good story.

[Brent]

I've been actually, we're gonna rebrand you as a Navy SEAL because we'll get more views. Travis the Navy seal.

[Kevin]

Actually, I think Tim missed his calling.

[Travis]

Right?

[Drew]

He's an honorary Navy seal. All right. Tim Peters. Hey, guys. Huge fan of your podcast. I listen to it damn near every day while I'm delivering for Amazon.

[Travis]

Oh, nice.

[Drew]

USMC sergeant who got out and I'm trying to do Leo.

[Travis]

Thank you.

[Drew]

What Texas SWAT teams were your favorite to teach?

[Travis]

Fort Worth. Fort Worth had a. Had a really good. Had a really good culture to it, so I'll go with that.

[Brent]

And fuck Amazon. They suck. Everyone's on strike, and we ordered so much shit for this studio.

[Travis]

Is that what delayed it?

[Brent]

Yeah. I'm assuming there's a huge strike at Amazon right now, so.

[Travis]

Not him. He's still working.

[Brent]

Yeah. You're still there. Come deliver us our lenses and our cables, please. Thank you.

[Travis]

Almost didn't make it work.

[Drew]

Touched a nerve there with Tyler. Went to McPhee class, and it was the most underwhelming training I've ever had.

[Travis]

I feel like it was. I'll give him this. I feel like it was at least been, like, not. Not beneficial. Entertaining. He's a pretty entertaining guy.

[Brent]

What's he teach? What's his festive.

[Travis]

I don't. I don't know enough about him to tell you. I know he loves to do MMA stuff. I don't think he teaches that. I could be wrong, but more. More gun stuff. Shooter stuff.

[Brent]

He's a. He's a Tim Kennedy guy, ain't he?

[Travis]

He. He is a Tim Kennedy.

[Brent]

And know who rolls. You know who rolls a lot with Shrek, Who? In North Carolina.

[Travis]

Trying to think of his name. What's his name?

[Brent]

Eric Tansey.

[Travis]

Eric Tansey.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

I was gonna guess.

[Brent]

He said he's like, everybody in that gym is very pro. Tim Kennedy and very, like, what are your boys doing? What are your guys doing?

[Travis]

I'm telling you that that MMA circle is tight. Yeah, it's tight. But you know what? Watch Monday's podcast and let me know.

[Drew]

They fit in to find out.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Drew]

All right. Thanks.

[Travis]

Called bringing receipts in your receipt.

[Drew]

All right, back, man, I love it. Merry Christmas and happy New Year's. Keep it up. Also, new studio looks great.

[Brent]

Thank you, brother.

[Drew]

Yeah, these boys been working all week long. Drywalling, painting, flooring.

[Brent]

We gotta give Magnet a shout out.

[Travis]

First off, he's not here for sure.

[Brent]

He spent all weekend doing slave labor and then doesn't show up for the live.

[Drew]

The old man sleeping. He's tired from it all.

[Brent]

We started late.

[Travis]

I know the podcast may not look any different right now, but let me tell you, it's a shameless plug. But, hey, if you go to the Patreon, you'll see everything that's on the other side of that wall. And there's more to come.

[Brent]

This place, it's still not done. We prioritize this room. So this room is completely done, except are we putting more flooring down in the back?

[Travis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brent]

Other than like two panels of flooring.

[Travis]

You'Ll see how cool this place really is.

[Brent]

And we got a cloud lifter, so let us know if you can hear us better. So apparently.

[Travis]

And the cloudlifter kind of amplifies. Amplifies. That gives us some gain. Yeah, yeah. So hopefully we sound a little better. And. And that is, again, that's thanks to Patreon. Patreon does so much for us, but so do you guys in the super chats. YouTube just takes 30% of it.

[Brent]

Yeah, we learned that the hard way. Yeah, we did.

[Drew]

Thanks, YouTube. I was at Bragg and had SF friends, Dave Arnold, Don Roberts, and they told me Tim sucked in the 18B course. Question, do you think Shrek is silent on the issues because he profits from his association with Tim?

[Brent]

Yes, I think that's why everybody is silent on the issue.

[Travis]

That's how you ended the podcast. Rightfully so. Absolutely. They're riding coattails and money means more to them than integrity. And that cannot be the norm in the veteran community. We will not let one of the last bastions of goodness in this country, which is a veteran community, be compromised.

[Brent]

And it's so different than, let's say in that situation, you're financially tied business wise with somebody and they get a domestic violence, they get a dui, they get something that's different. The whole Mike Glover situation, right there was people that wanted to distance themselves, but you don't really expect them to go like, oh, my Glover. You know, they just. They want to be away from it.

[Travis]

But, you know, they didn't exactly circle the wagons either.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

You know, I mean, the way that some of them have circled the wagons for Tim.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

You know.

[Drew]

Question for Drew's brother. I don't know which one.

[Travis]

I guess. I guess they're not going to mispronounce. My name is going to call. That's a new. A new way of not saying my name right.

[Drew]

Question for Drew's brother. What do you think about Las Vegas bombing? Supposedly was a SF guy, but sounds fishy. Got any info on that?

[Brent]

Yeah, let's hit this topic.

[Travis]

You want to hit this topic up? All right. Yeah, let's do it.

[Brent]

No.

[Travis]

Well, okay.

[Brent]

So it's like anything, any community, if you're not in the community, whether it be a college, Fort Bragg in itself. Like, oh, my brother went to Fort Bragg when you were there. Like, did you know him? Like, everybody has hit me up Today and said, dude, does Brent know this guy? I'm like, probably not, but it's looking like it's not terrorism. If it is terrorism, it looks like. I'm quoting John Burke. It might be political terrorism. If it were to be some kind of terrorism. Does it look like he joined isis?

[Travis]

No. So, yes. In fact, not only. I'll tell you, he was an SF. He was a team sergeant at 10th group. So which is if he was SF. I know that for a fact now, but I had a. I had an inclination it was 10th group because they were going to his house at Colorado Springs. So I was like, whoa. Well, someone said he might be sf. Now they're in Colorado Springs. Well, there's a chance is. Because that's where 10th group is. So he is absolutely a Green Beret and he's an SF guy. Here's. While we're at the beginning, this sounded fishy and almost like they're trying to connect dots that aren't there. And we talked about this a little bit. They're. Because I don't want to say the news is intentionally doing this. They may not know enough to know better, but they're like, okay, hold on. There are some similarities. And I'll. And granted, I'll give that some of the similarities and how close it is. Is. Is a little fishy. And they're like, they're both veterans and the. And they both serve together at the same base. Now, that. That's very vague. And you're like, oh, well, they, like, they had a connection to come to find out. The base they served together at was Fort Bragg. Well, he's in 10th group, and the other one is some, like, random support guy, not in Special Forces. Well, there's like, I don't know how many, 30, 40,000 people on Fort Bragg. If he's in 10th group, he's either at the Q course getting his Green Beret at the same time, or he's back at, like, a leadership school or some advanced school. They don't know each other. Guarantee it. They don't know each other and never, never worked together. It made them sound like they worked together. And that's the connection.

[Brent]

You might be right. It might be the fact that like, like I just said, they were at Fort Bragg together. Like, we don't. Is Fort Bragg one building?

[Travis]

Right.

[Brent]

They don't know. And their only liaison for Special Forces is Tim Kennedy, and he hasn't been on Fox News in a while.

[Travis]

Oh, but Tim Kennedy's already waded into this water. That guy Will never not let a crisis go by without inserting himself. Deployed him, he put out in social media, like if, if anyone knows this guy, please contact me. And he's already tried trying to insert himself because I'm sure he's trying to be a, a contributor on Fox News over this. So let me, let me tell you why I do not believe they're, they're connected. One is a, is, is a Muslim. Just be honest. One's a Muslim. The other one is not. One has an ISIS flag on his truck and was intentionally like forcefully going after to kill people. The other one, actually this just got released today and I called this one in a text group. He killed himself first and then, and then it blew up. So he, I don't believe he. And he tried to kill anyone other than himself. Which, which begs the question then, then why blow it up? I'll get to that here in a second. One is actually a special operations background. And what did the guy with the most knowledge put in his truck? Fireworks, camp fuel and gasoline. And what did the amateur put in his truck? IEDs?

[Kevin]

Explosives.

[Travis]

Explosives. So one is truly a terrorist and trying to do damage. The other one, that tells me he's trying to, he's, he's looking to make a show out of it and not necessarily necessarily kill anyone. Let's go with the vehicle choice. He has to know again, he's a Green Beret. That Tesla truck, that's the worst truck you could have used to be an IED truck because it's made out of stainless steel and has bulletproof windows, which is the reason if you look at that picture, the glass on the Trump towers is still intact. Like it didn't, it didn't get, you know, hardly any of the like, secondary effect of really hurting something. Which makes me again go back to. I think he was just trying to do a show like a, like make a, make a headline out of it. So I looked into his social media because we got his name that's been released and his wife's social media has anti Trump things, which kind of is like, okay, there is nothing on his social media that goes anti Trump. In fact, there are several things that are conservative leaning that you would imagine a Green Beret would have. Very, very few liberal Green Berets. That's just, that's just how it is. So that, that's just a bunch of information, but it doesn't necessarily answer the question of why. And now we're going to get into my opinion, my opinion of why, what, when bad things Happen to team guys, there's two. There's usually two variables.

[Brent]

And alcohol.

[Travis]

Boom. Or marriage or money.

[Drew]

Right.

[Travis]

But the other one. Women. Something tells me something drastic happened with his marriage, and he went out here and did this as a big fu. Because if he just shoots himself in his driveway, his wife doesn't have to deal with the blowback of it because very few people are going to find out about it. But now he does it in a way where the whole country knows his name. And the whole country is going to go. And anyone who knows his wife is gonna be like, oh, my gosh, what happened?

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Travis]

And she's gonna have to explain it. That's my opinion. But I walked it that way of why I have that opinion.

[Kevin]

Good theory.

[Travis]

Thank you.

[Kevin]

Good theory. I like it.

[Brent]

That was pretty solid.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Travis]

So I have. So with that all being said, I have no reason to believe that. That it's an act of terrorism and every reason to believe that the other one was. And I have no reason to believe that they were tied in together.

[Brent]

We'll get. We'll get into the other one last.

[Drew]

Good.

[Travis]

The real. Tell me. Tell me I'm wrong.

[Drew]

Yeah. Prove it. All right.

[Travis]

You tell me that I'm wrong.

[Drew]

Are combat Tomahawks really being carried by the boys on hits? What's the practical application of a Tomahawk versus a knife?

[Brent]

What is he talking about?

[Travis]

Because it's cool.

[Drew]

Tomahawk. Fancy hatchet. Your tactical hatch.

[Travis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I. I carried a Tomahawk.

[Brent]

Did you really?

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Did you? Were you trying to get a Tomahawk kill?

[Travis]

No, No, I. I don't.

[Drew]

To level up.

[Brent]

What do you care? Level up.

[Travis]

I don't know if you ever saw this. Did you ever watch the Tim Kennedy, Sean Ryan episode?

[Kevin]

Just parts of it.

[Travis]

Okay. He talks about him and Mike Goble getting into an argument where Mike's on the turret and he has his pistol out. He's like, mike, why do you got your pistol out? He's like, because I'm trying to get a pistol kill, bro. He's like, don't get a pit. Like, get on your gun and. And do your job. He's like, no, I. I've killed a lot of people this way. Like, I want a pistol kill. And he's like, you know, and it's just the guys being guys. No time ever did someone get off their machine gun and carry a pistol so they could get a pistol kill. For the same reason. I'm not trying to get a Tomahawk kill. That's that's the last. That is a last resort thing. Everyone's going to use the best weapon they have available to them to kill the enemy and then have fun later. What? That's weird. That's a weird thing to say.

[Kevin]

He doesn't seem to have any reservation in tearing someone down. And if you look at these.

[Brent]

That's true. He just does it. He.

[Travis]

He made Mike Goble look like an idiot.

[Kevin]

He did.

[Travis]

And he can't even defend himself because he's dead.

[Kevin]

You want to talk about something nasty? Look at the very first part of that chapter. He's talking about the guy that was supposed to come over there with him and his wife took him to the cleaners.

[Travis]

Y.

[Kevin]

He just aired that dude's laundry.

[Travis]

Wow.

[Kevin]

I mean, can you imagine if that. That was you?

[Brent]

Come on in, Magnet. There he is.

[Travis]

He woke up.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

You missed a shout out. We gave you for the drywall. I've been watching.

[Brent]

That's why he probably got up and came over here.

[Travis]

That's why he's like, oh, they're giving me shout outs.

[Brent]

Come here, boy.

[Travis]

Use the chair.

[Brent]

What's more, super chats.

[Drew]

How often did you work with EOD? And do you think we're as crazy as MPs say we are?

[Brent]

Brad, did you work with EOD?

[Travis]

Travis?

[Brent]

I worked with Navy EOD, but they were just for route clearance. Mainly. They were the bomb technicians.

[Drew]

Are they crazy? Brent.

[Brent]

He's peeing.

[Drew]

He's peeing. Sorry. We got to move on. Let's see. Got to put a pic of TK with a clown nose on the walls at Railhouse and Charlie Mike's until he clears the air. Cheers, boys.

[Brent]

He said he did. Gonna put one. Do it and take a picture. Tag us.

[Kevin]

There you go.

[Drew]

Take a picture of that boy. You create a lot of memes with that one, buddy. Take that picture. Brett, who makes the Delta Dagger that all selection OTC graduate graduates receive? Travis, you want to take it?

[Kevin]

I don't know who makes it. They. They pass those things. You see them at uses sock to that dagger. I don't know who's making those things.

[Drew]

Google it. James Smith, what would you rather wear into combat? Ranger panties or Rhodesian booty shorts? Is your choice based on function or which looks hotter?

[Brent]

What's Rhodesian booty shorts?

[Travis]

I don't know.

[Brent]

Does anybody in this room know?

[Travis]

You're the one that sells. You're the one that sells booty shorts.

[Brent]

I said male booty shorts.

[Drew]

Rhodesian booty shorts.

[Brent]

Rhodesian booty shorts.

[Drew]

All right, someone on the couch. Google it.

[Travis]

What do you got, Devin? Do I want to see it?

[Drew]

All right, let's see. Well, this is straight for Tyler. In your days of cruising the streets, what ethnicity has the highest number of prostitutes?

[Travis]

Solid question.

[Brent]

I mean, that's pretty white. White women because they're addicted to drugs.

[Drew]

So there you go. The prostitution rests.

[Brent]

Prostitution, Drew.

[Travis]

Nailed it. The doctor.

[Drew]

Well, let's see. It's only 4.99. You got to do better than that. Here we go, Drew.

[Travis]

Getting savage.

[Drew]

Sorry. We got 2,000 viewers, folks. You know the rules. I trust the anti Hero podcast more than the USS Gettysburg. Fire control. Travis, what was a. That was fun, but I am never doing that ever again story.

[Kevin]

Probably operating with Tim Kennedy.

[Travis]

Thursday night.

[Kevin]

The truth set you free, right?

[Travis]

Those are the answers you get on the Thursday Night Live.

[Drew]

Damn.

[Brent]

Hey, wait. We're halfway through. We're gonna go to 10:30. Cause we were late. But we gotta hit up our sponsors. We have sponsors for the Live now. We're gonna have more sponsors for the Live once we work it all out. But one of the first sponsors is Shell Shock cbd. This company is John Burke's company. John Burke has been on the show. It's. I wrote it down. So I don't know. But the big one is for first responders and veterans. They have CBD gummies. So you don't. They're triple tested. No thc. I don't use them because I'm not allowed to. But I heard a lot of agencies are allowing people to use CBD as long as they don't test positive for thc. Which you need a company like Shell Shock CBD to provide for you. They got the rack out. Sleepy time CBD gummies with no thc. Get a perfect night's sleep or your money back, guaranteed. So go over to John Burke's Twitter tonight. He's gonna be doing a live. And John is gonna give away three. Three CBD gummy bags to any of our listeners that come over.

[Travis]

Nice. I just saw John in the chat.

[Brent]

Yeah. So he's in there. He's in there. And then we're going to roll some beautiful footage created by us for our other sponsors.

[Travis]

Nice.

[Brent]

Who are in the chats as well. I know Rick is in here.

[Travis]

Hey, guys. I want to introduce our latest sponsor.

[Drew]

No, we're going to redo this one.

[Travis]

They're made for. For cops and first responders by cops. They make it the way they do because they know what the job means. Everything is handmade or machined in the usa. Because they have some of the best super steels offered. With the use of super steels, general care is limited. You can use it and forget about it without the fear of rusting something first responders are good at. Lifetime warranties come with every blade that cover pretty much anything other than losing your blade or using it to perform outlandish tasks they wouldn't usually use the blade for. Probably like using it as a screwdriver. Something we've all done.

[Brent]

We did that all weekend.

[Travis]

They have a lifetime sharpening. You only pay one way shipping. If you want to head over to their custom page, your imagination is their limitation. They'll try anything once they've outfitted numerous teams without blades and have customized the blades to their specifications including custom lasering sheath, color schemes and sheath attachments. Head on over to brotherhoodblades.com and get you one. And by the way, I'm not just a spokesman for them, I'm a customer. I carry theirs every day with me and I wouldn't be talking about them if I didn't trust their product promo code.

[Brent]

Antihero10. No one ever made fun of me for that. But I realized when you cut the, when you cut the commercial, yeah, we didn't even drop the promo code so all the audio listeners would never know the promo code. So I did that. But no one thought that was dumb, which I did.

[Travis]

But perfect.

[Brent]

Oh and Rick's in the chats. Go ahead and roll.

[Travis]

How Arms well we are known for but we do a lot more. How Arms is a disabled veteran owned business specializing in custom firearm creation and gunsmithing. Richard Howe, the company's founder is a two tour army combat big rig of the Afghanistan conflict. After his service, Richard earned his degree in marketing and founded Howell Arms using both the skills from his time in the army and his college degree. There he is. Richard's goal for How Arms is to redesign and customize firearms that are both reliable and combat proven. Our entire team is comprised solely of disabled veterans or family members. This is not a self feature but a choice to help other veterans transition into civilian life with a purpose and support network.

[Brent]

So if you guys didn't know Rick operates out of Is it Greensboro, North Carolina?

[Travis]

I don't remember Rick.

[Brent]

Text me and tell me where you Pretty sure it's Greensboro but he's expanding with a bunch of contracts he has because he does seracote on handguns and he needs to hire I think 15 to 17 veterans in the next year and a half.

[Travis]

Oh that's awesome. Good for him.

[Brent]

He's really looking for people willing to relocate. Come work for him full time and he will facilitate you finding a place. He'll give you, you know the things you need to go find living quarters or an apartment or a house.

[Travis]

So what veteran would want to work in the firearms industry?

[Brent]

Every.

[Travis]

Good luck. That's awesome. Should have no problem filling that out.

[Brent]

That and and. And Brotherhood Blades, man. They're part of that. I call that that Ohio dynasty.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Brent]

With all them guys. They're good.

[Travis]

Higher groups tight.

[Brent]

Yeah. So go check out all both them guys and shell shock cbd. Show them some love. Tell them the anti hero sent you and. And you know, again, these guys like the Patreon like your super chats. They keep these lights on. They're the moving into the new studio. Holy guacamole. I tallied that up. You had a first month's rent. You got to have a security deposit which is two months rent. So we paid three months rent to get in here. And then all the reservate renovations we did. I'm not gonna put the number out there, but it's retarded. So that's where all this money goes to.

[Travis]

Yeah. It's been exciting.

[Brent]

But if you come, come to Orlando now. We have a place for you to hang out.

[Travis]

Yep. Absolutely. You want to come hang out with us? Please do. If you're a Patreon member, you can. What?

[Brent]

What?

[Travis]

Just kidding. Anyone. Come hang out with us.

[Drew]

All right. Andrew Baker, a buddy is getting married and is a big fan. I'm going to buy cigars. Any chance you can throw in a note congratulating him on the marriage? Maybe a coin. Thanks, boys. Keep spreading the truth.

[Brent]

Real quick. I'm getting reports that someone is saying the N word over and over again in the comments. If we could get rid of that person. That is what they're trying to do to shut down a live chat is somebody will go in there and sabotage it. Probably Tim.

[Travis]

Yeah. And we do not 99% of the time. Censorship, comments or questions.

[Brent]

I was gonna say say the N.

[Travis]

Word, but that is. That's.

[Brent]

Yeah, yeah.

[Travis]

That's just deviousness. When we're never gonna allow hate speech on our. On our platform.

[Drew]

All right. They're booted. But look out for their next.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Profile.

[Travis]

Let us know.

[Drew]

All right. Hey Baker. Go to our website or Andrew, I don't know which one you are, but no. Andrew, go to our website. Email it.

Yep.

[Drew]

Okay. And we'll put something in that package. Let us know. But asap. All right. Thanks brother. Waited Too long.

[Travis]

Do your job. We waited too long. I waited too long.

[Drew]

We got. We got a lot of people in here.

[Brent]

What, you want to do a cap on Super Chats? Are we ever going to get through it doesn't look like it.

[Drew]

It's gonna. I've been doing 20 bucks and up anyway.

[Brent]

20 bucks? Okay. Hey, guys, if you. If you donated five and 10, we still see it, and that's awesome.

[Drew]

All right. Howdy, boys. My fiance saw me watching y'all, and she asked what y'all were about. After explaining, she asked, what does Delta mean? After explaining it, she said, so death watch in 40,000. I don't understand that. Well, I told her, you're not wrong. So death watch and 40,000.

[Brent]

My wife saw me watching you guys is code for my wife caught me touching myself to you guys, so that's okay.

[Travis]

He might have meant death watch in 4K, but. No, he wouldn't have.

[Drew]

His name is Tricky Dicks. So.

[Travis]

So Tricky.

[Drew]

So Tricky Dicks, The Super Chat's a little Tricky Dick.

[Travis]

Devin, can you Google Death watch and 40K? And that might. Yeah, that might tie that one together. I hate that. No one in here knows what that means. You got us.

[Drew]

Oh, dang it.

[Brent]

All right, look up Tricky Dicks.

[Drew]

I know Tyler interviewed an LEMC member a while back.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Would you be interested in interviewing a former 1 percenter turned correctional officer?

[Brent]

Yes, we would. So that was back when I. When I did the channel. I was trying to get views, so I did a lot of remote podcasts. One of them was the Gunslingers. That's the one he's talking about, is the Gunslingers. And, yeah, we're in the talks of having George Christie from the original Hell's Angels president back in the 70s. He's trying to. Come on.

[Travis]

He's got any stories.

[Brent]

But, yeah, if you can make it to Orlando, let's do it, man.

[Drew]

Oh, Josh Daniels. Cheers, fellas.

[Brent]

He left. Why'd he leave early there?

[Travis]

He got called back to work, and there's another shot out. Magnet helped us out more than. More than anyone should. And so did Josh.

[Drew]

He took a break from building the boats.

[Travis]

Yeah, he did.

[Drew]

All right, BD. Happy New Year from your favorite Wisconsin, K9 handler. Boys, future guests for Brent's imaginary notes. Kyle Lamb from vtac.

[Travis]

Yeah, from vtac.

[Drew]

Or Mike Durant.

[Travis]

Oh, Mike Durant from Gothic. Mike Durant, which was the 160th pilot. Yeah, that'd be. That'd be a good one.

[Drew]

All right, Best wishes.

[Brent]

Go up. Scroll up. Get. Scroll up. Get rid of that guy. Gucci's. That's who he is.

[Travis]

Doing it again, I think. Okay. Oh, why are we doing that?

[Drew]

Already deleted him. He's still here, Drew. Okay.

[Brent]

You got your. You got your. Your limelight. What's Gucci? That's pretty gross.

[Drew]

Magnet. See if you can find him.

[Brent]

Just please go find him physically.

[Drew]

Get a magnet.

[Travis]

Warhammer. Sci Fi series.

[Drew]

Drop the Santa Claus hammer on him. All right.

[Travis]

Gosh, he keeps doing it. Why? Why?

[Brent]

I don't know. Maybe he got kicked out and that's just like the. Because I don't see him anymore.

[Travis]

No. Okay, good.

[Brent]

You got it.

[Travis]

We got rid of him.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Okay. You might have got rid of him. Okay.

[Brent]

We're just wearing old comments.

[Travis]

Okay.

[Brent]

All right. Sorry about that. Don't forget to go to John Burke's Live, the all American savage show on Twitch. He's gonna be doing it. I. Probably doing it right now, actually. But only the people that. Our listeners of ours that go over there have the chance of winning the CBD gummies.

[Drew]

All right, here we go. Hey, Britain. Tyler. I'm a former 11B, an active 38W.

[Travis]

Thank you.

[Drew]

The work you guys have done is awesome. The time and commitment to the truth speaks volumes. You can add Travis into that.

[Travis]

A Sock em. Sock em.

[Drew]

Instructor of mine was a Delta Mogadishu vet and taught me to be humble.

[Travis]

Oh, yeah. That's awesome. Humility will take you a long way. Be humble and be really good at your job.

[Drew]

Well, Zooby, Zuby.

[Brent]

Be humble.

[Travis]

You're.

[Drew]

You know, It's. It's not 20 bucks, but, you know, you add up everything. It's Zuby, Zuby, Travis. What was TK Good at? Well, on deployments.

[Travis]

That's a good question.

[Kevin]

Fair.

[Drew]

He's good at stuff.

[Brent]

Keep in mind, this could be real.

[Kevin]

Yeah, it could be.

[Travis]

He was good at throwing one grenade.

[Kevin]

He was good at throwing one grenade. Just hit the wrong people. Something he was really good at. You know, in all honesty, the guy, he didn't cower down. You know, I'll just throw. I'm not throwing him props out here.

[Drew]

I'm just.

[Kevin]

I'm still kind of pissed off at him, but at the end of the day, you know, he did. He rode those gun trucks with us.

[Drew]

He's a fighter.

[Kevin]

He.

[Brent]

He's not a.

[Kevin]

It is. It's hard to say what he did good. He was so insignificant on that mission that there's nothing true, you know, he didn't run. He didn't.

[Drew]

You know.

[Travis]

Well, that's just Doing your job.

[Kevin]

It really is.

[Brent]

Well, he was lower ranking, right?

[Kevin]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Brent]

I think he might have been a.

[Kevin]

Staff sergeant maybe at the time, but, man, that's a hard one. I'm trying to just be honest. It was. It's hard to say anything. He did really good, but he. He was in there with us, so I can't take that away from him.

[Travis]

Right. He wasn't a hindrance.

[Kevin]

No, he wasn't.

[Drew]

No value added.

[Brent]

He was what. What do you call a national asset? Coalition asset.

[Travis]

He may not have been a coalition asset.

[Drew]

He wasn't a problem until he wrote a book. I'm not convinced he wrote it. I don't know. There's another theory.

[Brent]

I want to get to the bottom of that. Who wrote that book?

[Travis]

He put his name on it. He put his name on it.

[Drew]

Same guy who wrote the book for. Who's the other dude?

[Brent]

Eric Tansey?

[Drew]

No, no. The other guy said he didn't even know he wrote a book, and he.

[Travis]

Didn'T know he wrote a book.

[Brent]

That is damage control right there. He's watching all this go down. He's like, I gotta have my out.

[Drew]

Oh, my God.

[Travis]

Oh, the Navy wrote my book.

[Brent]

I didn't even know about it.

[Drew]

Tanner Coker, very generous brother. Some beer money, boys. But, Travis, what was your actual first impression of tk?

[Travis]

First impression. That's different.

[Drew]

That's a good question.

[Kevin]

So I met him in the Q course, going through as an officer in language, and he had already been a fighter, so props to him, man, being an MMA fighter and ufc. Great personality. Was a really friendly guy, very charismatic. So my first impression of him was good. When I heard that he was going to be on the mission out there, I didn't have anything negative to draw from. It was just a huge surprise in the aftermath of all this to see that that was going through his head. Basically, he was just taking notes to script out a story one day to write.

[Drew]

Yeah. I mean, when I watch, he seems like a really nice guy. When I know he's lying while he's talking, he's so nice about it. It's like I'm looking for excuse to like him.

[Travis]

Here's. Here's one thing that I. That I do think is. Is interesting. So since the podcast, we've got a ton of people reaching out to us. Like, hey, I got a Tim Kennedy story. I got a Tim Kennedy. I got a timing story. I would say 70, maybe 60% of them were people starting out and saying, hey, he was really nice to me, but he did this thing.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

And I don't bring him up because usually they're like, just like, personal stuff or personal, like, it's not. It's not. It's good. It's good rounding information, but it's not something specifically that, you know, that would bring up a podcast. But the other 30 or 40%, actually, it's like a. It's like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. He was like, I met him. He was the biggest jerk. You know, he did this, he did that. Yeah, I can see that. And so it is really weird that the amount of. It's not a onesie twosie. That there's still a decent amount of people that had really bad experiences with him. And I don't. And that one's hard to narrow down.

[Brent]

There was somebody that mentioned that they were in a shooting competition with him, and he just talked down to him, and he was just. They were like, hey, we don't know this guy from Adam, but he was a fucking asshole to us.

[Travis]

Yeah. He basically paid for a course at Sheepdog, and Tim basically came in, kind of talked down to everyone, and then essentially instead of. They were there to shoot and learn things, and Tim essentially just told a bunch of stories about himself and made sure everyone knew how great he was. And he's like, hey, I'm kind of a fan. I'm. I'm kind of here because of you as well, but I'm also here to learn something. If you're just going to sit there and tell me how great you are. I was kind of hoping to shoot and learn something. He's like, it was a. Not. It was kind of a big waste of money.

[Brent]

What do you think?

[Travis]

That was his one experience.

[Brent]

What do you think about. You only saw a couple minutes of it, but Andy Stump's take on when he had Nick Palm Shano on his Cleared Hot podcast. What? Again, you only watched five minutes. I was here.

[Travis]

I don't know, know Andy Stumpf and what. He is hilarious, actually. I guess. I guess I should probably watch more of his stuff. He did it in a joking way, but it's one of those things where they're like truth jokes, man. I can't believe the jokes he was throwing out, you know, to. To Nick. Just like kind of in your face, like, so. So, you know. When did you know you were writing a bunch of lies for a book? That's a bold joke to make to the guy writing the book. You know, like, he goes, did you. He goes, it was just like one.

[Brent]

Did you co write Tim's World War II book.

[Travis]

Oh, yeah. Oh, my gosh. It was. He's a funny guy. He is funny.

[Brent]

And another. Another person we talked about on the podcast. But if anybody knows this, the old Marine guy that breaks down videos.

[Drew]

Oh, I know.

[Brent]

Never. Never gives his opinion. He just goes, so, what do you think about that? So Travis went on. Why would Travis go on there? Travis went on there. He. Probably because Tim want to bring receipts, so.

[Travis]

Oh, check.

[Brent]

Keep.

[Travis]

Keep an eye on the. On the chats. They'll say this guy's name in a heartbeat. He has a million followers.

[Brent]

Someone's got to have his DMs.

[Drew]

All right, what's the difference between Jack Carr and Tim Kennedy books? Carr acknowledges his words are complete fiction. Brent, what's your opinion on the 13 hours guys? Seems that. Oh, they always on the Delta guy everywhere interview. Congrats on everything, guys.

[Brent]

Dude, Whacker sent me that. Did he send you? Did you watch it?

[Travis]

Sent that to me too. That is unbelievable.

[Brent]

What he said. What podcast was it?

[Travis]

It was on the Sean Ryan podcast. I. I know sometimes we say, hold on, we did that for a while. But the Tim Kenny thing, like, hey, something's coming. Hold on, hold on, hold on. It takes a while to get these big things, you know, move. Moving. Same thing with that one. Hold on. We're working it. Yeah, we will. And you will know what? Not just what I think of it. Think you already have an idea of what I think of it, because we're working it. And we'll have. We'll have an answer for you. A very detailed answer for you.

[Brent]

We'll bring receipts.

[Drew]

All right, I'm gonna master this. This is. This is the explanation of, I guess the 4,000 40,000 reference. The death watch is a Warhammer. 40,000 reference to an elite group within the Inquisitorial Ordo Xenos. Y'all ever heard that? All right. They're Chamber militant that is dedicated to hunting Xenos. In terms of Adeptus Astartes, they're equivalent to Kag Zanos.

[Brent]

Is that the guy from the Avengers, the bad guy?

[Travis]

That's Xanos.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Travis]

What you think is different, but I don't know. That's spelled with a Z actually, right?

[Drew]

Well, sometimes X and Z in the Greek.

[Brent]

Is that real?

[Travis]

Anyone? Anyone in. No, I just looked up over.

[Brent]

Sitting here.

[Travis]

It's a weird sci fi series.

[Brent]

It's a sci fi show.

[Travis]

Okay, all right, let me write it down. Let me write it down. So I look into it.

[Brent]

Be like Battle Star Galactic.

[Drew]

We love nerds, man.

[Travis]

We need. We needed more nerds for this podcast studio, we wouldn't have been so difficult.

[Brent]

Yeah, we had to hire.

[Travis]

We had to hire a nerd. We sure did. Love. Love Me a nerd. Everyone wants to make fun of them until you need one.

[Drew]

All right, Brent, is there a chance that we can get espresso bean coffee? I like making chocolate covered espresso beans in the winter and want to get some for my mom. Also, let me know what you think of the books.

[Travis]

Well, espresso coffee is really just the grind. It's a very fine grind. So if you buy whole beans. A whole. A regular whole bean is an espresso bean. There's no difference. Espresso is only a finer ground coffee. So if you buy whole beans and have an espresso grinder, you're good to go.

[Drew]

That's it. So all beans are espresso beans if you grind them fine.

[Travis]

There you go. And now you've learned something.

[Drew]

And knowing is half the battle. You boys ready for Philly?

[Travis]

Barbara, wait.

[Brent]

Oh, is that Barbara? Sal's going to be there. They got to get permission for him to get over the bridge.

[Travis]

All right.

[Drew]

Tim Kennedy is the only one to find the Humvee keys.

[Brent]

It's a military joke.

[Drew]

All right. Sfmf four years. Usmc. Y'all are doing God's work. Green crayons are the best at.

[Brent]

How much is that super chat?

[Travis]

$200.

[Brent]

Man.

[Travis]

That was 19.99 Mc notes.

[Brent]

We have an 85 inch TV now, so we can see the Super Chat.

[Travis]

Finally.

[Brent]

I still need glasses, but I can see them a little bit. And I was like, that looks like 199.99, man.

[Travis]

For another $200, Tyler will eat a green crayon.

[Brent]

I will.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Brent]

And no. And what were you gonna.

[Travis]

What were you gonna say?

[Brent]

No, I don't want. Actually, this is one thing. I said it. I wanted it to die down. But what we offered earlier, no one's piped up. I thought for sure someone was going to want to see that.

[Drew]

We got to go for a crayon run. All right. At the end of the day, you spend more time trashing Tim Kennedy than the true enemies of America. That's not true. We trash Democrats all the time. I think that speaks volumes. I don't see seals eating their own.

[Brent]

What?

[Drew]

Watch a few of our episodes. Too busy fighting the real enemies, not those defeating them.

[Travis]

All right, here's the thing, Carl. We can chew gum and walk at the same time. We have we have no problem talking about America's enemies. And if you keep watching us, we talk about that as well. But you can't. You can't be corrupt from within and fight America's enemies. You have to. You have to keep. You can't. You have to keep your house clean in order to be effective in fighting your enemies. So Carl, you're not just wrong, you're stupid.

[Brent]

Oh, but he gave us 20 bucks.

[Travis]

Just kidding, Carl. That was a joke.

[Drew]

It had to be read. For 20 bucks, the Roman Empire fell from corruption inside.

[Brent]

I will say this. He. He was not disrespectful.

[Travis]

No. And I said that as a joke and I said it before I say it again. I don't mind that comment because it gives me a chance to, you know, to clarify and give a rebuttal.

[Brent]

And that's your opinion.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Thank you for that.

[Drew]

We appreciate it, Carl, very, very much. Thank you.

[Brent]

Chad's handled him.

[Drew]

Come back in anytime. Let's see, Tyler. Cav scouts are basically infantry, but cooler. Right? Love the podcast.

[Travis]

Former 19, Mike. Of course he did.

[Drew]

Current Ed RN.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Yeah. What do you think about.

[Brent]

Scouts are weird. I don't know what they do now because he's right. We did the same job and the GY Cav scouts were essentially doing patrols which infantry were doing. So I know some. Some of the higher end infantry were doing a little bit of more targeted missions but. But 98% of their bread and butter is patrols. So. And that Cascals did it and I don't really know what they do.

[Travis]

Mike, can you tell us the difference job wise in a Cav scout and an infantryman. Infantryman is close with. To destroy the enemy by fire and maneuver. Okay. Infantry is to close with the enemy between. Okay. All right, I hope they can. All right, go ahead. Scout is to find the enemy and direct the forces on them. The eyes and ears of the commander. Okay. And the Cav scouts primary job is to find the enemy and direct. Right. Light scouts find it through and direct the. The commanders forces to them. Okay. A little more of a. I want to call more of a. A shorter legged wreck here.

[Brent]

Here's all the same basic skills as.

[Travis]

The infantry, plus more so. We used to wear the.

[Brent]

Yeah, you know what a cascad is a pogue. Hey, Mike's got a radio voice so you can hear him projecting, which is. Yes, he does.

[Travis]

Arms room radio. Arms.

[Brent]

Arms room radio. So go check him out.

[Drew]

It's good stuff. Stuff. Right wing gun says Jameson travels.

[Travis]

Thank you. Thank you. Jameson. Travels is his name. And I. And I hope he does a. And I'm sure he will do a pot a breakdown podcast of the one we just did.

[Brent]

So Travis. So Travis, man, back on the anti Hero podcast. God, that's weird, huh?

[Drew]

What's the best way to reach out and try to set something up for an interview?

[Brent]

Huh?

[Travis]

Podcast the. Our email. You want to put out an email? A dm, they said. Hey, what's. What's the best way to reach out? Try to set up.

[Brent]

Oh, sorry, my bad. Info. Anti heropodcast.com.

[Travis]

There you go.

[Drew]

It's a general public service announcement. Back, man, back in. What's the closing song tonight? Also, let's not forget 11 B's and. Oh, three. 1103.

[Travis]

11, sure. 11 B's, baby. You'll have BMU. You're gonna have to stay and find out. But I do have. I do got one already picked out for tonight.

[Brent]

O.

[Drew]

Darren. Be $200 two, bro.

[Travis]

Save that money for your plane ticket down here.

[Drew]

Both of you eat crayons.

[Brent]

I will. All right. Magnus said he'll shave his beard, but it was $20,000. I think he'll do it for less if he actually thought about it. I will come up with my price to eat a bite of a crayon. Not a whole crayon, cuz that could get medically bad. But I. I will eat a bite of a crayon.

[Travis]

Could it get medically bad? Are you just going to get green poop?

[Brent]

I think it's wax, though. And it doesn't digest.

[Drew]

It's going to stay in your bowl, bro. It's going to stay in your bowl.

[Travis]

All right, all right, let's see.

[Drew]

Oh, did it jump Facts.

[Brent]

Did we.

[Travis]

You know, you keep on. Down, down, down. Okay, that was the next one. The yellow one is bmu. Keep going down. All right, there we go.

[Drew]

God loves the infantry, not the cab. Come on.

[Brent]

Oh, shit. You're boys with Eric Tansey.

[Travis]

We deployed together.

[Brent]

I know. I forgot about that. That was a crazy. That. That was crazy when we met.

[Travis]

That's crazy. It's been a cigar night, hasn't it?

[Brent]

You're on your fourth cigar, Brent.

[Drew]

All right, I gotta read Tricky Dicks because this is the second one. He says, yeah, we're a bunch of nerds. You know, he's the one with the 40,000. I am also an AV nerd. What's AV? Audio video. Oh, man. We need you over here, bro. Audio video nerd. If you need help, just reach out anytime. Also a bubble head vet What's a.

[Brent]

Bubble head vet Bobblehead. Bobble. Bubble head.

[Drew]

Well, it might be just a.

[Travis]

It's falling apart, so I gotta smoke it.

[Brent]

You're gonna smoke Saddam cigar.

[Travis]

It's falling apart. I gotta smoke it.

[Brent]

That's gonna take you three hours.

[Travis]

No, it won't. Look at that bad boy. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna try.

[Brent]

So albatos of four former Green Beret from the 80s, he was in. I forget what the episode was called. I think it. What. What I call that episode.

[Drew]

Focus.

[Travis]

Focus.

[Brent]

But that is. That is a cigar. That is one of Saddam's cigars.

[Drew]

Authentic Saddam from Iraq.

[Brent]

It's ridiculous.

[Drew]

I think somebody in Iraq's compensating for something.

[Brent]

Make me the biggest of guys.

[Drew]

All right, Zeta. Hey, boys. Happy New Year. Love what you guys do. I have serious questions, but I'll keep it light. Have Tyler read this part.

[Brent]

Okay. The yellow. The ones with yellow backgrounds. Okay. I'm gonna read it.

[Drew]

Yeah. This is you, bro.

[Brent]

Hey, guys. Shut up.

[Drew]

Some. We did wolf a Powell.

[Brent]

15% off.

[Travis]

You got your Widow Wider.

[Drew]

Oh, it's Willy. Good stuff. All right. I was in the.

[Brent]

You know, for that price, you could have just bought a fucking shirt.

[Drew]

Yeah, but it wouldn't be. It's funny. I was in the 160th. Brent, what was your experiences like working with the 160th while you were an operator with CAG? Any stories as soft selling regular army command to F off as sf? Like an old crusty ras.

[Brent]

God, what the hell?

[Travis]

All right.

[Drew]

That's not how my Alphabet goes.

[Travis]

So the. The 1 60th guys are absolutely the best in the world at what they do, bar none. Like, there's no. There's no, like, SEAL Team 6, Delta Force. There's no, like, Green Beret, SEAL argument. There is no argument. The 160th is the best in the world. And they proved it every time they picked me up. And if you ever watch, let's say, the Dalton Fisher podcast episode that I did, you'll find out the 160th saved my life. And I'm here because of the 160th.

[Drew]

That's a pretty good answer.

[Travis]

And I've. Yeah.

[Brent]

And you can't get a better answer.

[Travis]

I've never really told anyone my life. I've never really told anyone to F off as an F. SF guy or cat guy. I think that's one of, like, the. The cowboy. I'm sure it's happened, but I think that's one of those Those cowboy Personas that we really don't have. We're. We're usually very professional with other people. Doesn't mean we'll end up doing what we want to do. And that's kind of the cowboy esque of it. But we're very respectful to people, generally speaking.

[Kevin]

Mature community.

[Travis]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Very mature community.

[Drew]

Brent.

[Travis]

We'll find a way to get to do what we want to do. We don't have to be a dick about it.

[Drew]

All right, this is where Brent gets nerdy. Right here. What laser do you use for your hats? I own a laser engraving business, so that's my nerd question. Also, which coffee do you recommend the most? Will be placing an order.

[Travis]

So I used to have a boss laser. Ended up having to move on from that. I had one of those, they call it like red Chinese lasers that you can get from ebay. I had one before, and I have one of those right now. It's an 80 watt, like 2 foot by 3 foot bed, CO2 red Chinese laser. And if you know what you're doing, you have to mess with them a little bit more and make sure the mirrors are right and square up the bed. But if you just know what you're doing, those for a third of the price, you can have just as good as a laser.

[Drew]

Mj, when TK Tim Kennedy was on mission, did he spend more time behind his sights or behind a selfie camera?

[Brent]

There's probably no. There's no iPhones back then.

[Travis]

Not back then, but there's. There's a story that we got after the episode of essentially him getting kicked out of Africa for kind of forcing himself on a third group mission and then doing nothing but stopping and taking selfies. And the team sergeant being like, what's this guy doing? Get him. Get him out of here. And he. And he posted just real quick. And he posted because he was trying to do opsec. He posted a different country in Africa than the one they were in. And the problem is the country that he posted was a country with zero troops. American troops. No American troops are allowed in it. And it actually caused a shit storm.

[Brent]

Oh, I bet.

[Travis]

And they were like, whoa, what are. What are American soldiers who are in that country? No American soldier is supposed to be in that country. And then he had to explain, oh, well, I was trying to keep opsec. Then just say you're. Then just don't say, don't take selfies. Don't. Yeah, just don't take selfies and post them one.

[Drew]

All right. Brandon says, I donated $20 multiple times and didn't read my comments. What the f. What.

[Brent]

What comment?

[Drew]

I just read it. I just read it.

[Brent]

What one?

[Drew]

All right, I don't know but Brandon, look man, it's 2,000 people and if we stop and we talk a while, especially spend some time with our guest Travis, we're really glad he's here. It. It scrolls and it. Look, we just missed something because it's a live streaming situation. I'm very, very sorry. We do the best that we can.

[Travis]

Yeah, you can hear it from me too. I'm sorry man. That's not. That's not our intention.

[Drew]

Doing our dangest love you but thank.

[Travis]

You for the support. I mean that absolutely doesn't make you feel better. I'm sure by not getting we read.

[Brent]

The one where he was like what.

[Travis]

The got got that one.

[Drew]

Sorry brother. 0331 Faluja 2006 Vet here.

[Travis]

Good for you.

[Drew]

Gees, nothing special like y'all but and love your show. Really appreciate all you guys do and have done. Simper Fi brothers.

[Travis]

And that's how I know he actually did something cuz he said Fallujah 2006. H. Nothing special. The Marines in Fallujah 2006. Something very special. You. You. You put in your time, brother. Yeah, you did more than most.

[Drew]

Will Tim Kennedy show his face at shot show.

[Travis]

Ooh, the two A boys. Oh, I'm sure he will. I'm sure he will. And I'll be there too. And I'll. And I'll say hi to him if he says hi to me or if I see him. I'll absolutely go up there.

[Brent]

You're going to call, talk to him?

[Travis]

Yeah, and I will call him back.

[Drew]

Anybody else hate everything coming out being called drama by soft fluencers? Maybe they should have police their own before dudes like TK and Latrell built their influence and wealth on bs. Thanks for building the platform.

[Travis]

Thank you Matt K. Couldn't appreciate, couldn't couldn't agree any more of you for show.

[Drew]

Zoomy Zoomy. How do you feel about the Taliban inviting YouTubers to vlog their life without the US there?

[Brent]

I have no idea what that is. Yeah, I have a video in the in the DMs in the Instagrams of the Taliban trying to fly one of our helicopters and crashing it.

[Travis]

Should have left more helicopters there.

[Brent]

Oh hey, let's go ahead.

[Travis]

Expensive way to get rid of a few.

[Brent]

I don't want to. I don't want to rush it. Let's talk about the so can you go to. Is Instagram pulled up, Drew? It probably isn't. So go ahead and go pull it up while we talk.

[Travis]

We will not forget that ball cancer super chat.

[Brent]

No, we will not. So obviously the. We're going to talk about the new New Year's Eve. What was it? Nashville? New Orleans, Terrorist attack. Yeah, keep going, keep going, keep going.

[Travis]

Little more.

[Brent]

Okay, start going down. I think you missed it.

[Travis]

Why would you miss it?

[Brent]

It's his realtor. It's his real.

[Travis]

There it is.

[Brent]

This guy. This makes me horrified that we could be walking amongst people like this. This guy who looks like a regular dude and talks like a regular ass Realtor is capable of that. Like, who else is walking around?

[Travis]

Well, kind of. I'll fill you in a little bit more, but go ahead with this. Angel Bar, property manager with Blue Meadow Properties and team lead at the Midas Group at Core Realty. I just want to say hello and let you know a little bit about me. So I'm born and raised in Beaumont, Texas and now live in Houston.

[Drew]

All right, guys, sorry, the browser is.

[Travis]

Not working, but that's enough. I mean, you can hear how professionally sounds and how professionally looks.

[Drew]

I don't know if they even heard it.

[Brent]

Oh, okay.

[Drew]

Browser's not working.

[Brent]

Nevermind, don't worry about it.

[Drew]

I don't know if they heard it or not. They'll have to let me know in the chats.

[Travis]

But they can see it.

[Drew]

Just know they can't.

[Brent]

They can do nothing.

[Travis]

What's going on here?

[Drew]

It's new studio. Sorry, guys.

[Brent]

Okay, but yeah, he put out a. A selfie video about him when he was a realtor trying to. To do Instagram stuff.

[Drew]

Oh, wait, I got a plan B. Hold up. I can do this.

[Travis]

And I've been here all my life, with the exception of traveling for the military, where I spent 10 years as a human resources specialist and IT specialist, where I learned the meaning of great service and what it means to be responsive and take everything seriously. Dotting I's and crossing T's to make sure that things go off without a hitch. So I've taken those skills and applied.

[Brent]

Them to my career. Yeah, normal seeming dude. Anyways, he decided to launch a jihad on New Orleans and killed 15 people and injured 30. I think we're still sitting at 15. Yeah, sitting at 15 now and then. You know, it doesn't get covered as much as it should, but guess who ran towards it and engaged this guy in a gunfight? New Orleans pd.

[Travis]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Okay, so they. They had two of Their officers shot. There's actually cell phone video of the shootout or people running when the pd. And they. They fucking smoked him. So. And he had a lot of explosives. He wasn't done. So those cops saved a lot of fucking people.

[Travis]

So he looks as normal as can be there, but when you peel back what's really going on, he's in huge financial distress. And it's never. It never. It's never what it seems. And he seems really put together there. And like, he's doing great with. With real estate, but he was having marriage issues and financial issues, so it seems like. And of course he had. So when you're. When you're unhappy with things and things aren't good and good in life, you start looking for things that will accept you. And he found ISIS to accept him. And then when things were probably at its bleakest. Well, middle. Most people, be honest, will just commit suicide. Yeah. But now you have those things and you have, you know, the pull of Islamic extremists. You don't just commit suicide. You take out, you know, people with you and commit suicide. And he originally was just going to attack his family.

[Brent]

I can't take you serious.

[Travis]

That cigar is ridiculous. And it's horrible. And it's horrible.

[Brent]

Is it bad?

[Travis]

Yeah, it's bad.

[Brent]

It's like probably 15 years old and.

[Travis]

It should be aged. It should be great. But he didn't think that that would get the news and the publicity that he wanted. So he decided to, you know, to basically run down random citizens.

[Brent]

And John Burke explained it best. There is no measure that could have been taken to stop this guy.

[Travis]

Here's my devil's advocate on this.

[Brent]

Okay?

[Travis]

This is pretty unique. I'm not. And I will, I will say this. You cannot stop all terrorist activity. If. If a terrorist wants to commit something, he's going to find you can't be everywhere at once. But I do find this to be unique. Apparently there were supposed to be some barriers in place in New Year's and they weren't. I don't. And I.

[Brent]

There's footage of him going around a.

[Travis]

Cop car, and I don't really remember why, but this is this. Of course, everything's clear in hindsight. Right? But this is the day and age and the world we live in. Bourbon street is the. Can you go downtown Orlando and drive a car straight down Orange Avenue?

[Brent]

Not on Saturday night, no, you can't.

[Travis]

Not on its busiest night. Just rows and rows and rows of bears and cops. Now we're talking about one of the busiest One of the busiest streets in all of America on the busiest night. And we don't have a better barrier in place to keep a vehicle. I know, but that's a Good point. Hindsight's 2020 on that, but I got a question on that, you know. What do you got, Mike? Metal and concrete bollards in place, recently removed for the construction they're doing. The police car was parked, supposed to be blocking the intersection so they couldn't get through. Cop wasn't positioned correctly enough or there wasn't enough police. Police cars there to block dull street. He was able to go around it. So just make sure everyone heard it. The barriers that were supposed to be there were removed so construction vehicles could get in and do the renovations needed. And so they replaced them with cop cars, but the cop cars weren't positioned properly to stop the vehicle or not enough one might have been called away for something. So. And usually when, when, when something goes wrong, it's never just one thing. It's just like that. It's always like one, two. It's usually two or three things that all add up to a tragedy. Doesn't matter if it's a freefall accident or range accident, whatever it is. It's always multiple compounds.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Travis]

Yeah. That magically happened at the worst timing as well. And it's. It's crazy.

[Brent]

We'll ride out the last 10 minutes reading the best super chats, aka the ones.

[Drew]

Well, this one starts off with ball cancer, so it can't be too bad here. So have ball cancer.

[Brent]

He has ball cancer.

[Drew]

I have ball cancer. He had to cut off righty.

[Travis]

Oh, no.

[Drew]

Offered me a prosthetic, but said no. If you had to lose a ball, which one would it be? And would you get the prosthetic?

[Travis]

Oh, good question. I have an answer for that. Do you? I can tell you.

[Brent]

Go ahead.

[Travis]

Well, I'm right handed and everything on my right body, on the right side of my body seems to be better than my left. So I'm just going to assume I would prefer my left to be cut off. And would I take a prosthetic? Yes. Yeah, I don't want to be known as the uniballer, you know, behind a guy.

[Brent]

I'm a guy in my high school, had testicular cancer and he got his ball removed. And that was like the gossip.

[Travis]

I mean, he got one ball. It's probably too much information, but it's not that too much. I mean, I mean, I got two fake ones in there right now. Anyway. I had a vasectomy, so they're not really doing anything. What's the difference?

[Brent]

It'd be easier to. Man, it'd be easier to manscape ornaments.

[Drew]

It's like ornaments on a Christmas tree.

[Travis]

Now they're just there for show, so no difference.

[Drew]

Sometimes they're blue. All right, Brandon.

[Travis]

What?

[Drew]

Brandon. What? It's a brother joke. All right, Brandon, he's back. Check this guy out.

[Travis]

Gives us 50 bucks. Now I feel bad.

[Drew]

It's okay. I still love you guys. Keep up the good work.

[Brent]

Which one? Wait, wait, which one was that one?

[Drew]

This is the guy who says, man, you guys didn't read my chats. Oh, man, what a dude.

[Travis]

And I didn't even get to answer a question from him. He was, he was cool enough just, just, just to make a statement.

[Drew]

Classy, Brandon. Classy Brandon. Nice.

[Brent]

All right, probably gonna have to do 20 and up.

[Travis]

We can't do that conversion, so we don't know.

[Drew]

Mark, my chat froze. Look at it. That's not me.

[Brent]

Guys, we gotta get the Internet chats.

[Drew]

That's the Internet.

[Travis]

There was a non paid one, but it said something about finger banging.

[Drew]

Here we go.

[Travis]

Now I want to know what that one was.

[Drew]

Kennedy writes a book. Brent shouts corruption and spends three months on it. Meanwhile, an SF guy commits a terror attack and sends seven people to hospital. Brent says he wanted to mess with his wife. Cool.

[Travis]

I said I wanted to mess with his wife. That's not what I said, by the way. I broke it down how I don't believe it's a terror attack. So now you're just basically like putting out like baseless allegations. And I actually laid out an argument of why I don't think it is.

[Brent]

I love the fact that our haters are in here. This is making it. This is the first time we've actually got some haters.

[Travis]

Yeah, but Carl, I'm here for it, man. I'll.

[Brent]

You know we want that smoke, Carl.

[Travis]

Yeah, bring it.

[Brent]

As long as it's $50 and up now.

[Drew]

Good. All right. Brandon's super chat was about.

[Travis]

It was about Shrek.

[Drew]

Shrek was legit. And what he was kicked out of. For CAG.

[Travis]

For OP4. For life.

[Drew]

Hooty hoo.

[Travis]

Shrek was kicked out of CAG for very much mishandling a detainee and was fired for. For it.

[Brent]

Did he beat him up?

[Travis]

A little more than that.

[Brent]

Ooh, did you molest him?

[Travis]

A little less than that.

[Drew]

Middle ground.

[Brent]

Okay, I'll take it.

[Travis]

I'll take it.

[Drew]

Tricky dicks back in again. This is his third super chat bubblehead is a submariner. Oh, so not a bobblehead bubble head submariner. I am a fast attack submarine vet. I was just out there doing five knots to nowhere.

[Travis]

I'm telling you. Want to talk about a hats off MOS job in the. In the military? I don't know if I could live in a submarine for months on end.

[Kevin]

I couldn't do it.

[Drew]

No way.

[Travis]

You got to be built. You got to be wired right for that one for sure. Hats off, brother.

[Drew]

Mike Cooper, 100 bucks. Damn FMF. Eat the crayon. Just starts off right out the gate. Eat the crayon. Brent, how do you feel. Feel about the scar? I have a 17S with an ACOG. Also, it said there's a 500 limit, so I had to do 99, not 199. My first was a 199 with no comment because Aussie, I'm retarded.

[Travis]

Autism. That's what I'm guessing.

[Drew]

All right, that's got it. No, I proved it right there at the last.

[Travis]

No, I. I like the star and I like the ACOG on. On the scar, to be honest with you. And I hope you have a red dot either at a.45 in that thing or stacked right on top. I don't necessarily like the. The added height, you know, that. That if you put it on top of the ACOG that. The bore over height that that gives you. But it's still better than nothing. And. And you should have one. But yeah, it's a good gun setup. I like it.

[Drew]

Next week, I'm going to hide crayons inside a hot dog so you guys will have to eat those hot dogs. They'll never know if there's a crayon in the hot dog or not.

[Brent]

Yeah, eat them like King's Picks media.

[Travis]

We'll. We'll know.

[Drew]

All right.

[Brent]

God, are we caught up yet?

[Drew]

Keep it up, guys. Can't wait for Monday. What's happening Monday?

[Travis]

Well, yeah, just. If you just tuned in, like I said, I'll say it again. We're. We're bringing receipts. We got three of the guys on the convoy with. From. From Tim Kennedy's book and telling their version of exactly what happened on the ground. So don't take my word for it. Take it. Take the word of the guys. Three different guys who were all there with them.

[Drew]

All right, guys, it's almost 10:30, but we've got. I mean, we've got to say this one here. Tanner, $50. Thank you for the generous you, brother. Travis, what is the most offensive thing from TK's book.

[Travis]

You've heard that's actually a good question. I know there's a personal answer to it, but I know there's, like, other things that maybe on a bigger scale that. That could rival that. Which one are you going with?

[Kevin]

Yeah, personally, obviously, the derogatory comments he says he made about me in the book. But generally speaking, probably the greatest defense was stealing the valor of Mike Goble. I really believe that happened. It's just tasteless. No matter how much publicity he wants to get off his book, there's just some places you just don't go. Yeah, you just don't go there.

[Travis]

Yeah, I agree with that. That. That one got me the most too.

[Drew]

And. And just making the. The. The whole squad look like they don't know what they're doing.

[Kevin]

Absolutely.

[Drew]

It's one thing to have stolen valor saying you did something you didn't, but then to take away someone else from souls did their job. That's a totally different level of stolen vows.

[Travis]

Now. Cook. Drew Cook.

[Drew]

Come on, man.

[Brent]

All right. Glasses on. We don't even know who he is.

[Drew]

Preacher brother. I gotta say, Brandon, we miss Brandon's. And here he is again. He says you guys owe Brandon Dagg a drink at your live podcast in Philadelphia.

[Travis]

You better come up to us. Gosh, we owe you that at least.

[Brent]

You gotta be like, you can't ignore me now.

[Drew]

And I gotta. I've gotta put the plug in here because I said I would. I gotta fulfill a promise here. This is first responder. Cigars are gonna be at Apollo Beach, Florida. We're gonna be there.

[Travis]

That's right.

[Drew]

Crap. What? Tuesday the 21st. Okay, Tuesday the 21st. Cigars on the Boulevard. 1438 Apollo Beach Boulevard. 6:00pm if you're in the area and you're in the Tampa area, Apollo Beach.

[Travis]

Be there. Grab a cigar with us.

[Drew]

Great place. Great dudes.

[Brent]

They're free.

[Drew]

There's gonna be a few free ones.

[Brent]

All right. Any more big super chats before we close it out? Well, don't. Don't drop one now.

[Drew]

Don't draw. I know.

[Travis]

Don't drop one now.

[Drew]

Brandon let me know. He'll let me know. It's only got right now.

[Travis]

All right.

[Brent]

All right, guys.

[Travis]

Brad wants to suck, then I'm gonna get set up. Honestly, when it takes too long, it turns off. Even though when I get set up for it.

[Brent]

Guys, thanks again. Be sure to tune in Monday with Travis. And it's. It's a good episode. And we had. We had the two guys come in remote. And, Travis, thank you for coming all the way here.

[Kevin]

Thanks, brother.

[Drew]

Appreciate it, Travis, thank you.

[Brent]

And sorry you had to sit next to a transsexual on the way here.

[Travis]

Tune in and you'll find out what that means.

[Drew]

Yeah, because I don't think Bert or Tigger are transsexuals now.

[Travis]

Let's do this.

[Brent]

All right, guys, thanks so much.
