Introduction and Host Banter

The episode kicks off with Brent and Tyler engaging in their usual humorous banter about punctuality and podcast traditions. Brent emphasizes the importance of starting on time, stating, "They better not just tell us when they're late. I want to see some appreciation from the viewers for being on time." (00:14). The hosts quickly transition into welcoming returning members, setting a lively and informal tone for the session.

Listener Super Chats and Law Enforcement Teams

Brent introduces Chris Curse, owner of Good Dude Concepts and an active-duty law enforcement officer in South Florida. The conversation delves into team dynamics within federal law enforcement, with listeners asking Chris about his experiences with elite teams like the FBI's HRT and HSI.

A notable listener question from B. Jordan probes, "Has Chris got to work with any of the full-time fed teams like FBI, HRT, BORAC, national team, HSI, SRT?" (03:34). Chris responds by sharing his collaborative experiences, highlighting the professionalism of his HSI friends in Miami. He recounts a significant operation where HSI teams successfully dismantled a gang in Puerto Rico, emphasizing the effectiveness of coordinated federal interventions.

Controversial NYPD Detective and Discussions on Professionalism

A heated discussion emerges around NYPD Detective Melissa Mercado, who was recently featured in a raunchy YouTube video participating in a strip club performance. Tyler provides context, explaining Mercado's personal struggles and the financial strain caused by her son's brain cancer. He states, "His son Derek, right there. Yep. Oh, wow. Oh, that's heartbreaking." (09:15).

The hosts debate whether Mercado should face termination, with Brent arguing, "I just couldn't let that go. It's ridiculous." (07:11). Chris concurs, expressing his discomfort with Mercado's actions, while Tyler raises concerns about workplace standards, noting, "And you said, well, it's legal, but it's not a good idea for your career." (07:26). The conversation underscores the tension between personal freedom and professional responsibility within law enforcement roles.

Listener Support for Personal Struggles

Tyler highlights a listener's heartbreaking situation involving his son with brain cancer, urging donations. He shares, "Please continue to give. I can't think of a better cause to give to." (10:16). Brent assures support, mentioning, "FRCC will donate a thousand dollars to that guy." (10:48), demonstrating the podcast's commitment to aiding listeners in need.

Product Shoutouts and Sponsorships

The hosts take a moment to promote Semper Suave, a marine-owned beard care brand. Tyler enthusiastically recommends their products, stating, "They have everything you need for your beard... Brent uses it every day before the podcast." (08:00). Additionally, sponsorship mentions include:

• Cloud Defensive: Highlighted for their superior handheld and weapon-mounted lights. Chris shares a testimonial about a friend whose Cloud Defense light stopped a bullet, emphasizing its reliability (18:19).

• Brotherhood Blades: Promoted by Brent, who praises their durable, USA-made blades crafted specifically for first responders. He notes, "I'm a customer. I carry theirs every day with me." (70:34).

• How Arms: A disabled veteran-owned business specializing in custom firearms, founded by Richard Howe, an Afghanistan combat veteran. Tyler introduces Howell Arms, highlighting their mission to support veterans through quality firearm customization (72:45).

SEAL Team 6 Story and Internal Law Enforcement Criticism

The podcast delves into a critical discussion about SEAL Team 6, particularly addressing the controversial claims of Rob O'Neill regarding the killing of Osama bin Laden. Brent challenges O'Neill's narrative, questioning the veracity and potential discrepancies in his accounts. He asserts, "Rob O'Neill's story wasn't just a different story... he's the only person that went into that room and... he killed Osama bin Laden." (46:41). The hosts express skepticism about individual narratives overshadowing team efforts, emphasizing the importance of collective acknowledgment within special operations units.

Cultural Shifts and Criticism of Current Standards in Law Enforcement

A substantial portion of the episode addresses the perceived decline in professionalism and physical standards within law enforcement. Brent vehemently criticizes the integration of women in tactical roles, arguing that incidents like Detective Mercado's video and the performance of pregnant officers undermine the force's integrity. He states, "You have got to look respectable and uniform. You can't look sloppy in Uniform and then demand respect." (58:10).

The hosts discuss the broader implications of these cultural shifts, suggesting that lowering standards leads to diminished respect and effectiveness of law enforcement agencies. They advocate for maintaining high physical and professional standards to ensure officers can perform their duties effectively and uphold community trust.

Listener Interactions and Banter

Throughout the episode, the hosts engage with numerous listener super chats, blending humor with critical commentary. Examples include:

• Drew read a comment about a BEarded CAG daddy, leading to jokes about physical fitness and professionalism (77:10).
• Brent challenges listeners with hypothetical scenarios, such as fighting a giant rooster vs. multiple moose, sparking light-hearted debates (56:07).

These interactions maintain an engaging and interactive atmosphere, allowing listeners to feel connected and involved in the discussion.

Sponsor Promotions and Final Remarks

As the episode progresses towards its conclusion, sponsors are reiterated, and the hosts promote upcoming events and products. Brent announces an upcoming event with Flamingo Tactical in Miami, encouraging listeners to participate and support their initiatives (120:38).

In the closing moments, the hosts reflect on the episode's discussions, emphasizing the necessity of upholding high standards in law enforcement and the ongoing challenges posed by cultural changes. Brent remarks, "We could so badly want, want to get to like the end game of a not divided country and an end game of where everybody's accepted, but we're not willing to say, hey, this is why you're having a hard time." (92:12).

The episode wraps up with final super chats, humorous exchanges, and reminders about supporting the podcast's sponsors and future content.

Transcript

[Brent]

Like, oh, a technical difference.

[Tyler]

Imagine that. We're here.

[Brent]

They better not just tell us when they're late. I want to see some appreciation from the viewers for being on time. Like, right at 8.

[Tyler]

We'll probably be done with the intro before 801.

[Brent]

We will. Flamingo Tactical. Already in there. You can't forget a name like Flamingo Tactical.

[Drew]

I know.

[Tyler]

Welcome back to another Thursday Night Live squad cast for the boys. We have a hell. Hell of a show tonight. Everything from Robocop security guards to NYPD strippers and everything in between. So strap in.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Sounds like a Thursday night episode. Brent, it's good having you back.

[Brent]

It's good to be back. God, I hate missing a Thursday.

[Tyler]

I had to be serious Thursday. I had to hold it together.

[Brent]

I don't like that.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that was.

[Chris]

No, that was interesting.

[Tyler]

I need to go back to my role here.

[Brent]

Like that.

[Tyler]

Oh, that's my phone going off.

[Brent]

Oh, you're good. Chris.

[Chris]

Yes, sir.

[Brent]

Introduce yourself.

[Chris]

Chris Curse, owner of Good Dude Concepts and a active duty law enforcement officer in South Florida.

[Brent]

Yeah, I went down and trained with you guys. Was it just. Gosh, time flies. I'm gonna say last month. It was still last month. Or is it.

[Chris]

No, it was pretty long before shot show. It was.

[Brent]

It was before shot show first or.

[Chris]

Second week of January.

[Brent]

Yeah. Yeah, that was.

[Tyler]

Was that the team you said sucked real bad?

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Wait, no, that's the team that I.

[Brent]

I said that at the beginning and then I said they, they. They really pulled it out in the second half.

[Tyler]

No, I was joking because the instruction.

[Chris]

He gave fixed everything that we had going on.

[Tyler]

Who's the team that Bob. Bob Keller said was probably the best he's ever seen?

[Brent]

Oh, I wish I could remember because it was like a. It was a fairly. It would have been. It was a small team and I think it was over in like the. The Tampa side. Yeah, we gotta get Bob on a Thursday night.

[Chris]

Bob's good people. I encourage that.

[Brent]

Yeah. Yeah, we. That we haven't had Mike Perry back for a Thursday night. That's an easy one. He'd be. He'd be.

[Tyler]

I can't. I can't get over Mike Perry's episode. Not. Oh, it was a great episode.

[Brent]

Yeah, I. With. With having Tim Kennedy on, like, talking about that. Were you talking about.

[Drew]

No.

[Tyler]

So when he came on ours, it just. It didn't. It's not popular. No one's watched it.

[Brent]

Yeah, I know. That's. That's pretty crazy. I mean, you never know where a career is going to Go. We should have. If we'd have done that episode right, but like after it was announced he was going to fight Jake Paul, it'd be a, it'd be a banger.

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's a big supporter. He's a good dude.

[Drew]

All right, first super chat of the night from B. Jordan says has Chris got to work with any of the full time fed teams like FBI, hrt, bortac, national team, hsi, srt? If so, what were your thoughts?

[Chris]

So individually I've worked with them some, but not the entire teams. I went to a couple combative schools with some Vortech guys out in San Diego. They were awesome. And I'm good friends with a bunch of HSI guys that are based out of Miami and they are very, very squared away. They, the guys, I don't know if you guys remember the like three or four years ago, some border patrol guys or their boat got basically they were doing a stop in the middle of the ocean off the coast of like Bahamas or something.

[Brent]

Okay.

[Chris]

And then they pulled out a case and killed two or three of them.

[Brent]

No.

[Tyler]

Wow. I didn't hear about that.

[Chris]

Yeah, it was, I want to say it was all three years ago. Well long investigation. The HSI guys found the gang and everything and based out of port it was out Puerto Rico found them and they did a huge roundup of like 60 dudes and they brought like teams in from all over the country to like take down a simultaneous hit, basically half the island. I guess they did a lot of good stuff.

[Brent]

Speaking of bortac, did you see the, the email that, that we got? I won't go into too much detail because sometimes people just send us information to say, hey, like you didn't get this from me, but you guys should know. And it talked about. There was a, like I gotta go back and look at it. There was an official government letter that he forwarded to us and essentially was this right after Uvalde and they were looking into. So as, as we know, we just did an episode on it. Bortako shows up and essentially takes over become. And they're the men on the scene that do violent things, the bad guys and save the day. And there was a federal level investigation that wanted to question why Bortak showed up and, and decided that they could supersede law enforcement.

[Tyler]

I love it. Of course there is.

[Brent]

And they were. And they were going, they were going down that road to, to basically get answers of why they showed up on scene and took over when local law enforcement had it careerism we had a.

[Chris]

Neighboring agency kick two guys off their SWAT team because they responded to Stoneman Douglas and jumped in with us because.

[Tyler]

They got kicked off the team. Wow.

[Brent]

What's, what's, what would be the per. Not the, the cause. So what's your justification for that?

[Chris]

They were told to stand down and disobeyed.

[Brent]

They were told to stand down.

[Chris]

Yeah, it was basically like, to me it was a county wide call out. Like anybody who's available, go. But yeah, I remember hearing about it afterwards because when they jumped in with us, they're like, hey, can we work with you guys when we jump in? Let's go.

[Brent]

Right.

[Chris]

Like our boss didn't care. So I didn't care.

[Brent]

Kids are dying.

[Chris]

Yeah, it was a bad day.

[Brent]

Oh, that's crazy. To me. It kind of shouldn't be. Like, we've, we've heard enough of these stories to where we're like, you know, I don't, I don't know when it starts becoming normal. I hate to say, I hope it never becomes normal because, because as soon as society starts hearing those type of things and aren't upset about it, that's when we're in real trouble.

[Chris]

So I think it has become normal. If you look at some of the like big name comedians now, like, it's become a very like popular joke. I think that's when it's like, all right, now it's, I like that gray area like where people joking out a little too much. I mean, I'll laugh at anything, but yeah, at some point there's like a serious nature to it.

[Brent]

But for sure, I, but I'm calling me naive. I really, I really think there is a shift in culture happening in our country.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Brent]

I really do.

[Tyler]

Hopefully it lasts more than four years.

[Brent]

Yeah, big cities, big cities are still going to do big city things, which is just. But that's, but that's the way it's always been.

[Tyler]

And then that's why they have generations of oppressed people that riot.

[Brent]

But that's the way it's always been. But when the rest of the country starts, you know that normally, you know, didn't fall under those type of, you know, policies and you know that, that type of culture, that's when, that's when, that's when we were like as a. Hold, hold on, what's going on here? Yeah, but let's take it back. Big cities are always going to do big city things. And that's why big cities will always suck to live in.

[Chris]

Can't wait to move out to the middle of nowhere.

[Tyler]

Luckily, Florida does not have very many big cities. I know there's Miami and there's like Jacksonville and Tampa.

[Brent]

Yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

And Orlando. But those are the big cities.

[Brent]

A weird one because it's only a big city really. By. By land mass. Like, as far as like true big cities are concerned, it's super spread out. Orlando, super small. Like, even our cities aren't like on the national.

[Chris]

Compared to like Chicago, New York and la, like, they're nowhere comparable.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Real quick, before we get into it, I wanted to give a shout out to some people that they sent us product a long, long time ago, back when we used to do shout outs for small businesses until we became Tupac down. But we use their. So I wanted to give Semper Suave a shout out. They're marine owned. They have everything you need for your beard. There's pomade like this. There's beard oil for night. They even sell the soap to. To lather your beard in. Brent uses it every day before the podcast.

[Brent]

I use it every day for the podcast.

[Tyler]

I stole his can. Mine's at home.

[Brent]

Yeah, but I use it.

[Tyler]

Just wanted to give a shout out. If you're going to do stuff for your beard, I'm going to go on their. Their membership, what do you call it, subscription base, and get. And have my shave kit through them. Semper Suave, Marine owned. And then another thing. One of our guests.

[Brent]

Thank you, Drew.

[Tyler]

Thanks, Drew. One of our guests. You remember Eric Dimm. He did the NYPD episode.

[Brent]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He did it out of his rv. Yeah. What was his. His claim to fame?

[Tyler]

Most complained on Cop in the nypd. He had a record.

[Brent]

Yes.

[Tyler]

Eric has an RV because he sold all of his house. He sold all of his belongings because he's got a son with brain cancer. The RV allows him to go to the best doctors and get his son's the best treatment. His son recently had a new development and he's scrounging for money. So they have a GoFundMe. If Drew can pull that up, I told him I give him a shout out. He was a guest. He's alumni, but his son Derek, right there. Yep.

[Brent]

Oh, wow. Oh, that's heartbreaking.

[Tyler]

And, you know, they've raised a little over half a million, but they have no money anymore. This is. This has bled them financially dry. And I've heard. I don't know if it's. I heard it was terminal from a good source. And I don't know really what that means if. If terminal's 100. I just couldn't imagine it.

[Brent]

All right, I will tell you this. I'll probably go direct to them to ensure that as we normally do. So gofundme doesn't take any. FRCC will donate a thousand dollars to that guy. Wow. And. And even though, please don't let that fool any of you guys, that says they had a 500,000 goal they raised over that. And you go, oh, they're good. I assure you. I assure you there are things that are going to continue to come up that they didn't even know they had to pay for. Please continue to give. I can't think of a better cause to give to.

[Tyler]

He's a great dude.

[Brent]

No parent should ever have to go through that or kid have to go through that. I. Wow. Good, good announcement. Yeah. Really? Really?

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Really suck the energy out of the room there.

[Tyler]

Let's get a good video going.

[Brent]

I got a question real quick. Magnet, get up there. Remind people how ridiculous your beard is. What do you do? What do you do for your beard? Yeah, get up there. Show them. So show.

[Drew]

Show it off.

[Brent]

So they.

[Drew]

So they know this is our beard model.

[Brent]

Whatever you say about. About. About beard work, they understand it's coming from an SME. What. What do you do for your beard? Shampoo, shampoo condition, Beard oil. Beard bal. Beard balm. Brush it and blow dry it. Brush it, blow dry it. Gosh, that seems like a lot.

[Tyler]

We don't have any hair on the top process.

[Brent]

That's true.

[Drew]

Yeah, I do.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah. Okay.

[Drew]

I put it in there, too.

[Brent]

If you ever go out to eat with Magnet because. Because of his beard, he'll have to put his beard up into a. What do you put it in, like a little bun? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh.

[Tyler]

What do we got?

[Brent]

You want to do a super chat?

[Drew]

Super chat. Polite designs. 20 bucks. Thank you. Polite. Mara. I swapped the labels on my girlfriend's spice rack. She hasn't figured out yet, but the time is cumin.

[Tyler]

Paid to say that. That's awesome.

[Drew]

Tuesday was the anniversary of John Chapman's actions on Roberts Ridge.

[Brent]

Oh, man. Shout out to that guy. Pete Blabber's coming on the show, guys, and you guys have been asking about that. I think we have him locked in for April. It's either April or maybe that recent development. Yeah, it's. It's. It's coming. That'll be a great one. I mean, he was in charge when that happened. He has. He has some great insight into that. What else you got, Drew, Brandon Bailey.

[Drew]

20 bucks, 35th birthday with the girlfriend. Steaks and bourbon. Watching Burton, man, spending your birthday with us. Nice.

[Tyler]

That's awesome.

[Brent]

I believe you pronounced it correctly, which is crazy because you never do. It is pronounced cumin, right?

[Tyler]

Not cummin powder.

[Brent]

Okay.

[Tyler]

It's cumin. So there would be two.

[Brent]

I'm a well traveled man, but not very smart, and I ordered a cummin quesadilla.

[Tyler]

Oh, you did?

[Brent]

At a Mexican restaurant.

[Drew]

That dude's like, all right.

[Brent]

And had the server looking really awkward and my friends just falling out of their chairs.

[Drew]

Customers always right.

[Brent]

Never saw it before in my life.

[Tyler]

Coming.

[Brent]

Never saw it before.

[Tyler]

I don't come in case of.

[Brent]

Yeah, I don't. I don't at the time. Are you coming in single man? I didn't own a spice rack. Okay. I just. I just ordered food. Yeah. Threw me for a loop. But you tell me. You look at that spelling and tell me that that wasn't a. A. A proper guess of pronunciation.

[Drew]

It's got two M's. It should say come in. Yeah.

[Tyler]

No, it's cumin powder. I thought I only had one M.

[Brent]

Does it have one M?

[Drew]

Well, he spelled it too.

[Brent]

Okay.

[Tyler]

Yeah, Cuban. Because it would be coming powder.

[Brent]

Doesn't matter. I'm just going to defend myself. Either way. It's called.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Brent]

You guys are inappropriate.

[Chris]

Okay, fun fact. I was a cook in a Mexican restaurant at one point in my life, and I have no idea what the hell a cumin quesadilla is.

[Tyler]

So what.

[Brent]

What is. What is. What is cumin? I don't even know what it is. I know it's a spice at this point. What. What does it come from? What does it do?

[Tyler]

The human plant.

[Brent]

What to do.

[Chris]

Yeah, yeah.

[Brent]

Someone.

[Tyler]

Everybody's got it.

[Chris]

What do you. What do you put it on?

[Brent]

Yeah, what do you put it?

[Tyler]

Taco meat. I season my taco meat with it.

[Chris]

But soups.

[Brent]

What does it give you that other spices don't?

[Tyler]

You're just supposed to use it.

[Brent]

Okay.

[Chris]

Students are told, all I need is.

[Drew]

Garlic and steak seasoning. I don't need anything else.

[Brent]

Oh.

[Chris]

So agreed.

[Tyler]

Wow. So not while we're on the top. Before we dive into the episode, can you tell us about good new concepts?

[Chris]

Yes. Long story short, I got really tired of having ideas that I hoped would come to market and, like, trying to scratch that itch. I'll give the reader's digest version we talked about earlier that I responded to Stoneman Douglas, and I was teeing in the new collapse over breach gear. I was like, the New thing. You guys probably had it, like, decades before Ellie got it. But because we special cases like this, everybody blocks the roadway, so everybody had to run, like, a mile to the school. So we only had, like, a handful of breach setups. And the master keys they gave us to clear school didn't work. So we were breaching doors left and right. I was like, all right, why don't they have a collapsible or some kind of more minimalist option? So we went with, like, the Broco Jimmy or the bent little screwdrivers, all kinds of other tools, and nothing. We scratch that itch. So over the last about 18 months, I started developing this bad boy, which you guys can see all the videos and stuff on our YouTube and Instagram. And it's just a minimalist pry bar that does a lot of things for a very little tool. And it's also gonna be priced aggressively because I want cops to be able to afford it with, like, an hour or two overtime. So MSRP is only gonna be 99 bucks. And it's designed to, like, fit in a little panel of molly, so you can cut through glass, rip doors open.

[Tyler]

Have you used it operationally?

[Chris]

Yeah. Actually ripped open a shed the other day on a warrant.

[Brent]

Nice.

[Chris]

About two weeks ago. But I've been trying to find ways to use it in justifiable ways.

[Brent]

Yeah. Watching you, it doesn't. It doesn't look like it. It really doesn't. When you showed me that. So this. You know, the serrated teeth here on. On this hook, you're like, yeah, use that. You can cut through, like, the front windshield that has that. That film on it. And I was. I looked at that going, does it? And you showed me that video of it just slicing right through it, just with that technique. And there's. There's no other way you're getting through.

[Chris]

You won't cut yourself on it. It's a pretty dull.

[Brent]

Yeah, it's crazy.

[Chris]

But now that side laminate or side windows are now laminate for, like, safety standards. And you guys can probably pull up a million videos of cops trying to break out windows on cars on fire or.

[Tyler]

Well, that's what we were talking about before the show. I want to use my window breaker. And no one. I didn't know this. Somebody was overdosing in the car. So I had my cool window breaker out, popped it. Nothing happened. So I thought my window breaker was broken, so I started pounding it with the engine knife. And it turns out that if the window's tinted, it doesn't matter. Because it's not going to break open. So having a tool like that would be a little useful. And you can carry it on patrol. That's the thing too. Yeah, I could put that. My seat caddy.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Did you come up with a name for it yet?

[Chris]

Yeah, the brb. The Breaching rescue Bar.

[Brent]

No.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Brent]

No, no. We were at shot show. We were at shot show and he's like, hey, like there's so much in a name. Like I gotta name it. And I gave you a name. Okay. It was that Bill. Weird. Oh, it's something weird. How dare you. You're about to eat those words here in a second. It has this like bill, like hook bill. And it looks like a bird. So I wanted to call it the Hawk Tactical Utility Ax. The Hawk Tua.

[Chris]

If somebody donates a thousand dollars tonight, I'll change the name.

[Brent]

Dang it. Kid with brain cancer. Changing the name.

[Tyler]

Just kidding.

[Chris]

We're not doing that.

[Brent]

This is a hard. This is a harder struggle than it should be.

[Tyler]

And tonight's show is brought to you by Cloud Defensive. You get that? Oh, look at that was fast. Cloud Defensive, the best in handheld and weapons mounted lights. Go to clouddefensive.com, use promo code ANTI HERO15 and get 15% off all their stuff. So they're our main sponsor on the lives and then they. They also sponsor the main episode too.

[Chris]

Actually I'm going to share a quick story about them. One of my best friends on our team, he's been a cop for 32 years. Got into a shooting back in. When was it? I don't know, back like last March or something. 30 at the time. 31 years on the job and was still wants to be the first guy in the door. And you can look it up on YouTube. Hotel guy crazy got into a gun. He drew the gun. But my buddy shot him like six times before he even got a shot off. But he did get rounds off through the door in the wall and it caught one went into the cummerbund. The other one hit his cloud defense light stop the bullet dead in his tracks. Obviously it was towards the edge so I don't know if ballistics would have caught it. But he still has the light and cloud sent him free light and a bunch of other. Just for being a good dude.

[Brent]

Yeah, and. And not. I could be wrong but usually I want to go and I teach tactics. I talk a lot about tac lights and, and how I believe they're one of the most underutilized pieces of kit. I'm not going to go through it here in the episode. It it you probably could wonder, hey, how can. How can you yap for about 30 to 45 minutes on. On white lights alone and. And the various ways you can use them. But I'd like to think that probably open your you guys eyes a little bit about, you know, the different ways and how important attack light is.

[Chris]

The. We trained with the guy who's actually a good friend of mine now, John Dufresne. And when he was a role player against us, he was a third Bat Ranger. Yeah good instructor to highly recommend him. But whenever we would make entry on him, he would blast us with a model and that's when model I got really popular. Yeah, we're like. You like ow. And we're like, oh yeah. Something clicked on all of us. Like yeah, we're gonna use the. Out of that.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Just enough of a flinch is enough to.

[Brent]

If you don't have attack light on your gun, this. This is. This isn't some like, you know, just, you know, over the top advertisement for. For cloud defense. It is. It is true. If you don't have attack light on your gun, you are only prepared to defend yourself half the day.

[Chris]

And it's night vision season right now too, so it's nice and dark out all the time.

[Tyler]

And if you need. If you want a better discount, go to our Patreon and we. The Patreon has an even better discount. So Patreon has been lit lately. We've been. I've been trying to upload as much as I can.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Behind the scenes content. Yeah.

[Brent]

That had had a. Had a real good time, you know, doing like the. The combat stories with. And not just combat, just like the team stories. Nate from Valhalla, that was. That was a fun little episode to do on top of the regular episode that those guys got to. To hear.

[Tyler]

So that'll be on there soon.

[Brent]

We could either go to that but you want to super chats or you want to go to my YouTube video. Because I really want to get this YouTube video.

[Tyler]

YouTube video.

[Brent]

All right. A Seal Team Six guy sent me this to show you how popular he is.

[Drew]

I had a buddy who was a sniper. Probably the most aggressive SEAL I've ever met. But for some reason he never got.

[Brent]

It aggressive, never got a kill.

[Drew]

We're in Afghanistan near coast on Halloween.

[Brent]

He would get in a lot of.

[Drew]

Weird spots but never get hurt. And we go in this house and so the sniper, he goes in one man. The sniper that never killed anybody.

[Brent]

And he immediately gets A hand to hand fight with this Al Qaeda guy, right? So they're fighting it out. Reed goes this way.

[Drew]

And I'm looking at these two dudes and they have guns.

[Chris]

They both got go for him.

[Drew]

And I'm able to say trick or treat.

[Brent]

And I kill both him.

[Drew]

And I look, my buddy's in a gunfight or a fist fight with this guy. He's got him a headlock and he goes, God damn it, Nizro. And I go, what?

[Brent]

And he goes, you always kill people.

[Drew]

I never kill people. And I said, well, throw that in the middle of the room and shoot him. And the guy, the Al Qaeda guy goes, no, no, sir, this is bad idea.

[Brent]

I go, who the talking to you?

[Chris]

I had a buddy who was a snipe.

[Brent]

The guy just can't help himself. So let me get, let me just reiterate this story in case you guys missed it. He's. His buddy is in this hand to hand fight and with a terrorist in a building, Afghanistan. And they're having a conversation with each other. He's fighting. This dude looks over to, to Rob and says, damn it, you always get to kill people while he's fighting with a terrorist.

[Tyler]

See, these are the things that only you could.

[Brent]

And, and Rob has the, the, the wherewithal to, to step in, kill two people and make a Halloween joke while that dude's fighting with a terrorist and making a comment about it. And then if that's not crazy enough, the Al Qaeda guy understands English and speaks it back. And then speaks it back.

[Tyler]

You know what?

[Brent]

This is like, he's such a joke. He's such a joke. And people will eat that up. And they're like, oh, this is crazy.

[Tyler]

Well, it's like the, when you, when you caught him out on the tactical amnesia, when he said, what do I do? Yeah, and you were. And you had to explain that nobody in those pair of boots right then and there would go, what do I do?

[Brent]

Yeah. And the, and The SEAL Team 6 guy goes, example 1 million of statements he makes that are simply not true or accurate. So. But what is. What is. It's always fun to kind of come back and beat that dead horse. Because if he's going to keep saying ridiculous things like that, I mean, it's not episode worthy. But if you're gonna say stupid things like that, we're gonna show people how, how ridiculous it is. And if you go to the comments section of that video, he's getting eviscerated. Yes. Like, and he has to know that he has to Know, he. I'm. He's the type of guy who goes to his own comment section and. And reads it. So anyway, that I just could. I just couldn't let that go. It's.

[Tyler]

That's a good one.

[Brent]

It's too. It's.

[Chris]

Well, hanging fruit.

[Brent]

So crazy. Yeah, it is low hanging fruit, but. But I'm still gonna swing at it because it's. It's ridiculous.

[Drew]

He's an older guy. He's gotta hit those easy ones. Jim Lewis says you had a hot tub, hot tub episode. Now you need an outside fire pit episode. Keep up the good work. Rltw. I'm don't know what that is.

[Chris]

Rangers lead the way.

[Drew]

Rangers lead the way.

[Brent]

All right, I'm going to be upset at one point when Drew starts to learn all these acronyms. We don't have these moments.

[Drew]

It won't be fun anymore. I love coming here learning something new every Thursday night. You learn something new every Thursday night.

[Brent]

You love it. Cumin here.

[Tyler]

We learned Drew eat ass.

[Drew]

I don't remember that.

[Tyler]

You know what's funny is how long it took us to get Drew Peacock.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

It took us an entire episode.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Drew]

I'm not the only retard in the room.

[Brent]

All right. And I said. I said I wouldn't call you out on it, but. But I have to because you look ridiculous on screen. Yes. Chris is sitting on a. On a booster seat.

[Drew]

Somebody said that hat is too big. I don't know which hat we're talking about, but if it's Chris, he's a big dude.

[Chris]

I was gonna say. I don't. I don't know how.

[Tyler]

It's this one. It's the IA Guy. He sent a hat. I told him I'd wear it. Rocking one of the boys.

[Brent]

Chris, how tall are you?

[Chris]

Six, seven.

[Brent]

Six, seven.

[Chris]

£207 or £60 now.

[Tyler]

I'm five foot nine and a half.

[Chris]

Can you go on roller coasters yet?

[Tyler]

I'm always the shortest dude on the podcast.

[Brent]

That's what it's like for you guys.

[Drew]

That looks normal.

[Brent]

This is what it's like. This is what it's like to be us. Yeah.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Brent]

The air sucks down here, Chris.

[Chris]

I know. A coach seat is way more comfortable for you guys.

[Tyler]

I can't.

[Chris]

I can't live like this.

[Tyler]

I can't live like this.

[Chris]

There we go.

[Brent]

Oh, God.

[Drew]

All right. Solely and all the numbers says, would you have Hugh care on? He's Matt Tune. Rose Dunrose, FMR. Commander. What am I. What is that?

[Brent]

Former.

[Drew]

Jeez. Commander in The.

[Brent]

In the Paras Paris Parachute Regiment.

[Drew]

He took part in the siege of the Musa Kala, one of the most important battles in UK history. The Taliban were bribed $1 million to stop.

[Brent]

Absolutely.

[Drew]

Prince writing it down.

[Brent]

Yeah. And I'm actually. Don't. Don't you dare give me a hard time about this. I do. I do write things down and get back to him and I. And that's. That was important to me because me and Matt served and Cyr together and I would. I would love to have another British guy on that that served with Matt. That'd be really cool.

[Drew]

Gareth says I'd raw dog that screen model. And who am I kidding? I'd raw dog anything. That's where he's at.

[Brent]

I love the self awareness. Yeah. Where he's at.

[Drew]

Tyber, where do you get that? I. A guy hat. Do. Do I get a discount for each ia. I've had a question.

[Tyler]

Yeah, go to. Go to the iaguy.com or his Instagram and I don't know where his shop is, but he sells them and he's got a YouTube channel. I was on a show talking about my AI stories.

[Drew]

It's messing up on me. Here we go.

[Tyler]

Oh, we got the. We got the chat sheet.

[Drew]

He's host of the H Hour podcast. There's even an episode on the. On that epic siege. On it, he been interviewed by Team House and Combat story podcast. Like YouTube.

[Brent]

Oh, easy. Yeah. So I'll reach out to those guys. They'll get me in touch with you.

[Tyler]

I'm going to let. I can't wait for Drew to read this next one.

[Drew]

Who's the lovely lady with the huge turd cutter?

[Tyler]

We can go into that right now. Topic of the night.

[Drew]

Oh, okay.

[Tyler]

NYPD Detective. I'm just gonna go ahead and read the story. It's a great story that I can't get to. No, hold on. Anyway, she's a. What. What kind of. What did I say she was? A detective. A Special Victims Unit detective.

[Brent]

That's right.

[Chris]

That makes sense because I.

[Brent]

Because I wrote back and what. Oh, gosh, whatever. I back and tell you when. When you said that. I'm gonna go find exactly what I told you to. Which I said. Oh, she's special, all right. And she's ready to play the victim card if you call her out on it. So, yeah, Special. Special Victims Unit is exactly. What if she's not in? She will be in.

[Tyler]

All right, I'll read. I'll read it from. From the news here. Stripper pole fit finessing. Special Victims unit Detective Melissa Mercado is a certified big booty Latina. VI to an appearance in a video you see at 3am on BET. Back in the 2000s, Mercado, a seven year veteran in the force who works out of the Bronx, is seen in the raunchy YouTube video posted by World star hip hop work in a pole inside a strip club as some rapper named Esquire makes it rain US Currency.

[Brent]

Now, did she do this before she was a cop?

[Tyler]

No, this is current.

[Brent]

The video was a while ago.

[Tyler]

I don't think it was a while ago. Brew, pull up the video. Oh, there we go.

[Brent]

Now we're only doing this so everyone understands the story. Like we take. We take no joy one month.

[Chris]

It's a scientific reason.

[Brent]

Yeah, we take no joy in watching this.

[Tyler]

1.3 million views in one month.

[Brent]

And when was it?

[Tyler]

One month ago.

[Brent]

One month ago.

[Tyler]

Yes. So there's a lot of debate on whether or not she should be fired. This guy sucks at rapping. Let's go make that ass clap.

[Brent]

Make it drop and roll.

[Tyler]

So I think we get. So some people have weighed in. Dominic Rizzo. Is that his name? Dominic is. Was a white haired guy.

[Brent]

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Tyler]

He weighed in and he said that she shouldn't be fired. She used nothing about her uniform. She did not sexualize the job at all. I'm on the other side where cops are held to a higher standard. And you cannot be cops, firefighters, you know, you cannot be in a rap video shaking your ass. You wouldn't want your sister or your mom or your daughter doing that. So therefore it's something that's not. That's kind of frowned upon. I don't. You know, depends on the.

[Chris]

Depends on the family.

[Brent]

I'll let the law enforcement guys speak first on this. Obviously it's. It's. It's your world. We're just living in it.

[Chris]

I don't like it. I wouldn't want to work with somebody like that. But we already have enough. Like, we can't even speak our minds. Like some agencies. Like your first amendment right is pretty much like stripped from you.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Chris]

So what you do off duty is like your last little bit of freedom. But that's pretty extreme. I wouldn't. No. And it's disgusting.

[Brent]

So do you believe she should be fired for it?

[Chris]

She won't be.

[Brent]

What was the question? Do you believe she should be fired for it?

[Drew]

We had Crenshaw last week.

[Chris]

Good point. Thanks for making me fall down.

[Brent]

Jerk. Can you do a poll to see if if do a poll the poll dancer.

[Tyler]

Poll the poll dancer.

[Chris]

What do you think if she was hotter? No, but she's fired.

[Tyler]

I, I do, I, I, I feel she will be fired, but I feel like this was a move that she did on purpose. There's no way want to know how it got around? The dudes were passing it around the department just like, you know what happened and then, and that's kind of how, and she, I mean you cannot do that. You can't be on a world star with a million views and have some, somebody go like, I know that person.

[Chris]

Did the two NYPD detectives that got caught on camera like fucking in the office get fired?

[Tyler]

I don't know. I didn't even know that happened.

[Chris]

Oh yeah, I was all of Instagram. It was like three or four years ago. But right. If they didn't get fired, then that's different.

[Brent]

They're, they're on property.

[Chris]

Oh yeah.

[Brent]

Probably on the clock or even if they're not like they're on property.

[Chris]

But if they didn't get fired, then she shouldn't be. It all depends on how strong their union is too. Because there's a lot of people who do a lot of dumb who should be fired. That's way worse. But they still keep their job.

[Brent]

The only fans girl got fired, that Florida police officer, Florida bunny, she got fired. And her husband slash co star. Yeah, life partner, he got fired as well. And we kind of had this conversation then about it and it's, I, I gotta separate it here, here for just a second. It is, we live in a different time, which I don't agree with, by the way. I don't, I don't, I don't like the, the culture that we have. But if we're going to be, if we're going to be consistent and say that, you know, that, hey, this is first Amendment, that what she does, you know, off, off the job has nothing to do with what she does on the job. Like that's, of, that's, I don't even sense a valid argument. I understand the argument and I, and I see why they would say that. I'm just a staunch, you know, advocate for like morals matter, like what, how, how you're perceived in and out of uniform. Our military gets the same thing and UCMJ follows you in uniform and out of uniform. And I just, so the argument to that really becomes, well, who's, who's moral standard. Like that's where it gets subjective. Right.

[Tyler]

It would be the, would she be hired if that video was on.

[Brent]

Oh, there's. There's a good question.

[Tyler]

And the answer would be probably a good question.

[Chris]

Depends who's behind the background check and who's hiring. Who's in that. In the hiring unit, if you will.

[Brent]

But wasn't it.

[Chris]

Keep in mind, look at the dude who was wearing like a dog mask in his military uniform type of thing. It's like a. You can go down the rabbit hole. The societal culture of how much are we willing to. To accept outside of like our organization standards?

[Brent]

Wasn't it nypd, where the. You. You remember this video? Because I believe you brought it up on a live where the two. The two police officers, the two female police officers were in the car while this guy is. And they're parked like at a 4 intersection like in the middle of New York City. And this guy comes up and just starts dancing on the car. Do you remember that one?

[Tyler]

Yes. Because they didn't do it again and.

[Brent]

They did nothing about it until, like a guy showed up. I mean, here's just the, Just the other problem of that. You're going to tell me that person who has like, those type of standards is all of a sudden going to be the rock star cop like that you hope she is?

[Chris]

Nope.

[Brent]

I just. I'm going to go on a limb here and say anyone can dance on her cop car anytime they want and she ain't going to do nothing about it.

[Tyler]

So what do you think?

[Brent]

I think she should be fired.

[Tyler]

Yeah. It's nothing. I don't think it's. It's not. I don't want to say it's nothing personal because obviously it's not. I don't know her. But it's. It's the. It's just like you said, the military teachers, nobody would want that.

[Brent]

How many teachers have been fired for being strippers on the side is a lot.

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Brent]

Yeah, yeah, it's definitely happened. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely happened.

[Chris]

But I guarantee everybody's threshold for what they'll take because I'm sure when you got hired, it was like a thousand people fighting for 10 spots. Now it's a thousand spots are open, 10 people are applying for. So they're like, you got a pulse? All right, can you just not do this again? Okay, you can keep your job. There's a level of desperation that most agencies are feeling, I think, but.

[Tyler]

And you know what? You know, it'll end up happening. I talked to my buddy, my buddy Moore about this at work today. What will end up happening is she'll destroy her current salary with her new only fan salary.

[Chris]

That's probably. She strategically probably did this.

[Tyler]

That's what I was thinking. Yeah.

[Brent]

She.

[Tyler]

She knew this was gonna happen.

[Brent]

Yeah. Yeah. And she'll still sue the. The city for. For letting her go, and they'll probably settle out of. Out of court for it. And she'll. And she'll. And she'll win on. On every side of it.

[Chris]

Yep.

[Brent]

Unfortunately, that's. That's. That's my guess. But also goes back to someone's going to say legal. What? And I love your argument about this. I can't remember which. No, it was that. It was that real unfortunate, like, Air Force guy who showed up to the door with a gun. And. And you said, well, legal and what you should do are two different things. And you said, it's legal to swim with sharks, but it's not a good idea.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Brent]

With sharks. Is what she's doing legal? Yeah, it's legal. Is it a good idea for your career? Not a good idea for your career. So there's absolutely a difference between legally right and. And morally right or optically right?

[Drew]

Yes.

[Tyler]

Special Victims Unit. I. I don't. I mean, I don't. That. We don't call them that here, but that sounds like a unit you work towards. Special Victims Unit. You think that's a career person? Yeah, you know, that's a. That's.

[Chris]

I mean, I don't know if I don't want.

[Brent]

I don't think they made a TV show out of it. Didn't they?

[Tyler]

Yeah, I think it's like the. Like the.

[Brent]

Another one with. With the bell that goes that Law and Order. Oh, is it Law and Order Special? Okay.

[Tyler]

Nypd.

[Brent]

There you go. There we go.

[Tyler]

All right.

[Brent]

This. Oh, that's the other thing I hate. I just do hate that the NYPD just used to be a very revered unit. They just, you know, well respected.

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Brent]

And now we have this.

[Tyler]

I think they were well respected. But I thought nypd.

[Brent]

I don't.

[Tyler]

Feared.

[Brent]

I don't care. What's that? There's people that were like, would you rather be loved or feared? Do you remember that kind of gangster movie? He goes feared, you know, love goes away. Probably butchered. That. That, that quote.

[Chris]

Some mafia movie.

[Brent]

I forgot.

[Drew]

All right, back to super chats. Let's see. Gear and thumbs. Every quesadilla I have is a cumin one. Breeding power. There you go.

[Chris]

I need a special victim.

[Drew]

Zulu whiskey back in the house. What's up, boys? Guerrilla warfare Tactical warfare. You guys ready for Jersey?

[Brent]

That's coming up.

[Tyler]

Oh, April 5th.

[Brent]

I'm scared.

[Tyler]

Jersey City. We're doing. We're doing it again. Big live show at. @902 Brewing. I think it's what it's called.

[Brent]

And this time I don't think I have to get back as fast so I can either.

[Tyler]

And it's at a little. And it's at a place where we can all hang out. Last time we did a show, we did it in Philadelphia, but we did it in a place that was like. As soon as we were done, they started breaking it down. And we didn't get to hang out with anybody. Couldn't smoke cigars in there. The beer situation was kind of weird. Like, yeah, they were. You know, they only bought, like a case of beer for everybody. But this is at an actual brewery where we can hang out until, you know, the doors legally have to close.

[Brent]

Brewery gets harder to say the more you drink. Brewery should be a field sobriety test. Can you say railroad brewery? And if they can say that, they can drive.

[Tyler]

Are you. Are you not drinking? No Thursday night road beers.

[Brent]

I went to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert last night and. And had a few. And this is. This is the weirdest flex, because it's not a flex. I just got done talking about. Devon was talking about, like, how old like everyone else. Everyone was there, which. It's a Leonard Skynyrd concert. I mean, I don't expect a lot of young people there, so 60s, 70 year olds. People probably smell like Ben Gay and. And mothballs. And we just got talking about, like, how old the crowd is. And we're moving through the crowd and somebody yells out, anti Hero podcast.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah.

[Brent]

Which would normally be pretty cool, but we just got done talking how uncool everyone here is. So it's not exactly.

[Tyler]

You're like the king to uncool people.

[Brent]

So not exactly a top, but I'll take it. I said that little bit in. In a funny way.

[Tyler]

Guy at the Fruit Fest, or what was it called?

[Brent]

Strawberry Fest.

[Tyler]

This one's for you, man.

[Brent]

Yeah, absolutely. Gave that. I gave that. I went up. Gave that guy a fist bump. He was super cool. Hope he's watching.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Drew]

P says, hey, Barton, Skyler, Bart. Are warrant officers allowed to try out for the unit? And what do they do at the unit if they. If there are any.

[Brent]

Nope, not on an operator level. Just officers and enlisted. No. That warrant their warrants. We have a few warrants on the support side.

[Drew]

Burton Taylor. Keep up the strong work, gents. Local law enforcement in the greater Boston area where things are getting weird right now.

[Brent]

What did the. What did the Boston mayor, Joe. Oh, I know what it was. Did you see that one? I think I forwarded it to you. I know I forward you a lot of things, so I start scrolling Instagram. She gets up. I didn't understand what the hubbub was about, so she gets up and she apologizes and it's just like, hey, like our, our hearts go out to the victim's family and you know, and it's this, this time they're dealing with like the, the police chief followers or I think it's a police chief or someone. Three people high in the Boston politics organizations come up and they're all saying how sorry they are for this victim's family. You know, the victim was someone wielding a knife trying to kill two people, I believe in a fast food restaurant. An off duty officer just happened to be there and gunned them down. And they were ups and they were. Their condolences were to the guy that got gunned down trying to kill two people with a knife. What the hell is going on?

[Tyler]

Boston make this a hard city, man. Y'all soft and limp dick liberal.

[Brent]

That's. You gotta. The Boston Bruins got to go somewhere else. They can't. You. You can't stay in that city. That'll. That'll send a message.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Hard stuck says not discrediting them by any means, but is there a reason why bortak arrived at 12:15 and didn't breach until 12:50 according to the timeline?

[Tyler]

If I. My $0.02 is that they were. Bortak showed up, they were getting all the intel that they could and then they were looking around going this doesn't make any sense. And they had to really just scrap everything that they heard and start fresh.

[Brent]

Yeah, and I, I'd agree with that. And only add on to. Which is. I think essentially what you're saying as well is they, they arrived on scene to a bunch of bad information that they got from people on the ground who had no reason having that bad information. And so it's going to take them a little bit to figure out what's going on.

[Chris]

Well, there was no command.

[Brent]

It's almost amazing if, if we're being. It's almost. I, I'd swing that the other way. I think it's amazing that they even figured it out and went in because based on the information that they had and the police officers basically justifying why they haven't gone in yet. I'd say it's. It's amazing that. That they even made that call and figured it out.

[Chris]

Well, if I remember correctly, there was no incident command. So usually if you're showing up, you go there, hey, what do you got? What do you need? Like, give me a roll. And when they were probably piecemealing all the bullshit together, they're basically like, what the fuck's going on?

[Tyler]

Well, it knows where's the room.

[Brent]

If.

[Tyler]

If they had an incident command, there's no guarantee that the incident command would have made it any better.

[Brent]

Right.

[Tyler]

And they would have just sent these Bortech guys to a perimeter spot.

[Brent]

That's right, because they'd have just proliferated the same bad info.

[Tyler]

That info. Thank you. It wasn't even intel. Yeah, should have been intel, but it was info anyway.

[Brent]

How's the poll doing, Drew?

[Drew]

No poll is looking at. We got 243 votes in.

[Brent]

Well, we'll take it.

[Drew]

She should be fired for the video. Yes. At 62%, two thirds. Just about. And then no. 38%.

[Brent]

So 60, 40.

[Chris]

I'm a little surprised.

[Brent]

Almost that close. But I guess I'm not at the.

[Tyler]

Same time, because I'm just like, like, just like you. I'm like, you know what? We should have some freedoms to express our personality. Like, I don't like getting boned because I have a T shirt company that has some outsiders. Where does it stop? You know, that's part of the problem. But my own morals say that that's too much. But to someone else's morals, like, you're saying half the cops out there, like, no, we support it.

[Chris]

Yeah. To me, that's like, you're damning your whole family. Like, your whole family should turn your back on you for that. But maybe her family is encouraging her and might be managing her career.

[Drew]

She's got daddy issues.

[Chris]

There you go.

[Brent]

She's been turning her back a lot.

[Drew]

All right, Ethan, thank you for the donation. M says I just joined Patreon so I can hear Brandt yap about Tac Lights. Lltd. What's lltd?

[Tyler]

Lltd?

[Drew]

Oh, limited. I don't know.

[Brent]

Lltd.

[Chris]

Long live something.

[Drew]

Long live Tim Diddity. Mess that one up.

[Brent]

Damn it. Now I want to know. I will. I will figure this out.

[Drew]

All right. Butt Crack Malone. Cigar fund for the boys. 10 bucks. Thank you, Butt Crack.

[Tyler]

Thanks, bud.

[Drew]

All right. Heard something funny. Was it. Was it. Was it last week?

[Tyler]

I don't know. You're telling us.

[Drew]

Yeah, but butt cheek, Is that one Word. Or do they need to be spread apart? Oh, all right, let's see. Garen thumbs back in the house, says she can be my special victim.

[Tyler]

That sounds rapey.

[Drew]

And that's why she, a cop, shouldn't be on the video. All right, Ethan Tram says Blackbeard. Do you know who Red is?

[Brent]

Yes, I do know Red is.

[Drew]

There it is.

[Brent]

No one. No one has given his name publicly. And we're not.

[Drew]

Not gonna do it.

[Brent]

When we're not. We're not gonna be the ones to do it. That would. I believe that would. That would be a dick move. That would absolutely. That would absolutely be a thing for. For clicks and. And clout and not respecting people who. Who want to stay a quiet professional. And if anyone's wondering, I don't. I think anyone who follows the show probably knows who Red is. Red is actually the guy who killed Osama bin Laden. Shot him twice going up the stairwell, and then a whole team of four went in and after Red killed him. But of course, again, if you don't know, I'll never get tired of telling people that Rob O'Neill's story wasn't just a different story. What do they like to say, it's just a different version of the story? No, it's a story that says he was the only person that went into that room and none of his teammates did, and Osama bin Laden was standing tall and he. And he himself killed Osama bin Laden, completely discrediting the lead man of the element and the other men that went into that room with him.

[Tyler]

Such a dick move, the balls of Rob O'Neill. Because I was to say, at least Tim Kennedy's witnesses are no longer with us. So Tim Kennedy can. Can feel safe knowing that no one's going to speak out on some of his stories. But Rob O'Neill, I mean, I know.

[Brent]

And it always kills me. And we've. We've gone over this before, but it's been long enough. I think people should be reminded. They're like, well, he was there. Like no one else has said anything different. That's absolutely not true. Wrote a book saying how four people went into that room after Red killed him. Osama bin Laden's wife, on an interview, said a whole team of SEALs came in and, you know, after my husband, who. Andy Stumpf has From Seal Team 6, like, yeah, no, no, everyone in Seal Team 6, he says it in a much more professional way, but he says, yeah, no one. No one in Seal Team 6 has ever told the story the way. The way Rob does. So it's. It's out there.

[Chris]

All right.

[Drew]

Grand Thumb says I've seen less craters on the moon.

[Brent]

It did look like your butt cheeks were beat up by a bag of nickels.

[Tyler]

I've never heard that before.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Oh, man.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Do you think there's a flag on the moon?

[Brent]

Yeah, you can see it from a telescope.

[Drew]

I use my binocular. Matt Anderson says, I don't understand why Rob and TK don't just say those are fiction and just write fiction and not look like arse clowns. They could kill it in the fiction.

[Tyler]

Could you imagine $50,000 of speaking engagement if they do that?

[Brent]

Could you imagine if those two wrote a book together with their stuff storytelling abilities? The problem is, I think they're both just too big of a narcissist to ever. Because one's got to be the main character. They're not sharing the spotlight. But if they would, could you imagine the book those two would write and how ridiculous it would be?

[Tyler]

It would be two special agents.

[Chris]

You should start a movement to have everybody go to, like, a Barnes and Noble and just grab somebody's book and move it to the fiction section, take pictures and post it.

[Tyler]

You heard it here, guys. Yeah. I mean, can you imagine them getting on the same podcast?

[Brent]

They've. Someone sent me a picture of them together recently, like, on a stage together.

[Tyler]

Oh. So probably all over us.

[Brent]

So, I mean, you want to talk about Birds of a Feather? Like, I saw that. I was like, yeah, it seems about right. They're the only two people that will cooperate each other's stories.

[Drew]

All right, let's see. Butt Crack Malone back in there. Demote her to desk duty, if you know what I mean.

[Tyler]

Like a desk. Like a assistant. Like, where the. The you have sex on the desk. Like death duty.

[Brent]

I don't get it.

[Tyler]

Like Mad Men.

[Brent]

Why would they do that?

[Tyler]

I don't know. Very toxic masculinity.

[Drew]

Let's see. Zero Dark dirty says, who's that talented dancer? Who's that talented dancer? Does she do P Dash? Top dollar, perfect dome, and a big, tight turd cutter. Chair force leads the way.

[Tyler]

I love listening to Drew. Read these.

[Drew]

Delta Daddy. You hit that. If they put on the screen.

[Brent]

I got a couple possibilities for lltd. Long live the decency. Long live the dreamer.

[Tyler]

Long live the Drew.

[Brent]

Drew.

[Tyler]

That's probably what it is.

[Brent]

There it is. I'm going for that. Long live the Dr. Of the Drew.

[Drew]

Thank you. Thank you. M. Thank you. Let's see. Grand thumbs back in again. He's going to go broke tonight. Legal and morally right. Two of my favorite distinctions and our last one that I have right now. Until I look further. Joseph James says, what's Brent's beef with John Shrek McPhee? Why did he have to leave the unit?

[Tyler]

This about once an episode.

[Brent]

Now it's about once an episode. And luckily, he just wrote a book. I can't. I can't wait to read it. I'm sure him and Tim Kennedy are very similar people and friends. Yeah. Judging by all the interviews I've seen with them. I can just say right now, because I. Because we're not done with Tim. It's very possible. It's very possible once I start look, because I don't. We haven't been wrong yet. Our intuition has been pretty good. The same people have the same traits. That he may not be telling the. The full truth for fame, fortune, and money. And why to get fired from the unit. Well, that's another problem. He'll tell you that he got fired from the unit because of a. What do you say? A messy divorce. And the unit doesn't, you know, doesn't like that. That's not why he got fired from the unit. If. If divorces got you fired from the unit, we'd lose. We'd lose half the unit.

[Chris]

Y. Okay, what's the stats on?

[Brent]

So he. He was. He was fired. But I don't stick around. There may. There may not. I mean, don't go Benghazi. Honest. There may not.

[Tyler]

I mean, the way may not be.

[Brent]

An episode about that in the future.

[Tyler]

The way you look into stuff, do you look into it like I'm gonna get this guy, or do you look into it like I'm gonna prove you're looking to make like. You know what I'm saying? Like, when you look, you're not looking for guilt. You're looking to verify.

[Brent]

That's. That's an every. Every single one of Tim's teammates will tell you the same exact story, which is, I never called him. And saying, hey, show me how. Tim's line here. I literally would just find the story. Find someone that knows a story and say, hey, this is what John said is we'll just use John in this incident. Is that true? I'm just looking for the truth. I'm not looking. I'm not looking to twist the story, nor should I be, because that's how we'd get in trouble, you know? I mean, like, we can't. Like, we can't chance being wrong. You can't call out these high level like you know we if you want to use the word famous famous people and be wrong we'd lose all credibility.

[Tyler]

And you even gave up a couple layups because you couldn't verify a hundred percent that they were true.

[Brent]

Gave up a couple layups that I was 90 something percent sure and one of them we even recorded and then I was like hey but we're, we'll take that out unless I can't get like another so like multiple sources telling me that about this later. And then, and then we ended up being right. Yeah but we took it out anyway out of you know just like I said just, just to be right.

[Chris]

I'm assuming there'll be follow up episodes.

[Brent]

We're batting a thousand so people can say whatever they want us about us. The proofs in the pudding.

[Drew]

Jonathan Moore says will you ever have a Mac V SOG guy on I can't ever get enough of their stories. Nick Brock Hassan book We Few is my favorite. I end up reading it at least twice a year. One of the best war story books.

[Brent]

Hell yeah. I'm a huge fan of Vietnam as a war fan. I mean maybe that'd be taken wrong in a context but it is what it is. I love reading about the Vietnam War and like the pin, there was no Delta Force back then. The pinnacle of special operations were those guys Mac V sog and I think Nate said that because his dad was a Green Beret and his, his dad has some connections to those guys. I want a Mac vsaug guy on this. You want to talk about just I can't wait to hear that guy's stories.

[Drew]

Yeah there's a guy reached out to us, emailed us. I think it was his dad or his uncle was a machine and gunner in Vietnam. I don't know. We're talking to him. Chris D if Rob and Red came across each other would Rob try to stick to the story you think or just apologize?

[Brent]

No. How no way would Rob try to stick that story. He never tries to stick that story in front of other seals and he I doubt he would have to apologize about it unless Red brought it up. I mean that would be, that would be on Red but I assure you if Red brought it up he'd apologize in a heartbeat.

[Drew]

Raven 2:3 says Paul Rudd please give us a Bible verse. Oh John 3:16 look it up. It's the most important one. Smash 17:75 boys would you fight 50 rooster sized bull moose or one bull sized rooster? And both ate on. Both are on Speed.

[Brent]

Both are hot. Speed.

[Tyler]

We do this all the time. It's always going to be 50 of the little ones.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Brent]

One almost every time.

[Tyler]

Giant rooster. That'd be horrifying.

[Chris]

Gross. And chickens are crazy. No.

[Brent]

Has anyone been on a farm? Grew up on a farm? Let me tell you, roosters are aggressive.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Oh my gosh. And they are mean. They're awful. And now you get a bull size one.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Brent]

No, I'm not getting hit by those spurs.

[Chris]

No.

[Brent]

The way they run and then jump kick you with those things. No.

[Chris]

You'll die.

[Tyler]

You'll die for sure.

[Drew]

And that's no bull story. All right, let's see the Promethean something didn't say. Chris better admit that Gabe is his pappy.

[Chris]

That is. Is the guy helping me bring this bar to market. And I'm calling ice on him after this.

[Brent]

So.

[Drew]

Plight designs back in. We love you, brother. Would you rather be that cops chief answering those phone calls Dan Crenshaw's PR team or get punched by Mike Tyson with brass knuckles?

[Brent]

I don't think you got to add brass knuckles though to that Tyson spot.

[Drew]

That's going to kill you, Tyler.

[Tyler]

Kill you.

[Brent]

What would. Of those three, I'm sure that the third one's right out.

[Tyler]

I don't want to die.

[Brent]

Yeah, well, what would you. Would you rather be?

[Tyler]

I would rather be. I would. I'd rather be the chief field in the phone calls. Because you could make the decision to terminate if it got too.

[Brent]

That's right.

[Tyler]

Dan Crenshaw's PR team are like whatever Dan wants to do, right?

[Brent]

Yeah, that's a good point. Absolutely.

[Tyler]

I don't know.

[Drew]

It depends on what the stock options are on the PR team. Let's see. Zero. Too early. Zero. Dark. Dirty. Back in Delta Force verse. E4 Mafia. Who wins and why?

[Brent]

I. That's like a Blackhawk down situation all over again. They're the E4 mafia. There's like thousands and thousands of thousands. Yeah. They just. They just win by sheer numbers.

[Tyler]

They will overrun you.

[Chris]

Right.

[Brent]

Yeah. If they. If they. If they keep. If they keep the momentum up. You can't. You can't kill them all.

[Tyler]

That is a real thing too. There's just something about being a specialist in the army where you're figuring out if you're going to continue to be a turd or if you're going to promote. And it's just this. You're just in. There's a click of you and you run things because you know how things work. And the sergeants are always Coming in from different platoons, companies, battalions, units. Right, so you might have a new E5, a new E6 who doesn't know any of you guys. The E4 has been there three years.

[Brent]

They are the shadow government of any platoon and company and battalion. For sure.

[Tyler]

The shadow government.

[Brent]

They are.

[Drew]

Jim Lewis says Drew is sofa King. We tar. Did. When he tries to figure out acronyms.

[Brent]

That's true.

[Drew]

It's true.

[Chris]

It's like cyberbullying.

[Brent]

You'd get arrested for that in the UK.

[Drew]

Apparently in Germany, man, they're getting into people's apartments in the middle of the night before the sun comes up them and arrested them for stuff they put online.

[Brent]

Yeah, I get that from Germany. They have a history of that. I know, but you guys, Britain. Come on. You guys are better than that.

[Tyler]

And let's watch some videos.

[Drew]

Let's do some videos. Tell me what you want. Tell me what you really, really want.

[Brent]

This.

[Tyler]

Okay, so this is a video of a. A guy probably high on drugs, victimizing. I think he's victimizing people. Cops pull up, he starts victimizing the cop, and then he. She is saved by a bystander.

[Brent]

It's a biker. No, he just. He attempted to hit a person on a bike. He has a tire iron. I'm gonna hit him. He's crashing my vehicle intentionally as well. He's running at me. Don't yell. Stop. You're the police. Do something about it. Stop. Do that ahead. Get it. Stop. Stop. Cut it out. Cut it out. Cut it out. Thank you. Get it out.

[Tyler]

Stop.

[E]

No.

[Brent]

He's trying to grab my gun. Stop trying to bite me. I'm pregnant. He tried killing that lady. He tried to grab my gun. Shut up.

[Drew]

I don't trust you.

[Brent]

Good, dude. Thank you so much.

[Chris]

There's a bike.

[Brent]

There's a biker.

[Tyler]

What do you think about that, Brent? Do you think she pulled that pregnant theatre? That she probably didn't tell anyone, but now she realized she shouldn't be out there because she's pregnant. So she tried using that as last ditch effort not to get her ass kicked.

[Brent]

I'm. I'm the one that really here has nothing to lose. So I can say almost anything I want. And even for the things I want to say, I feel like at some point like there's. There are societal norms that can't handle what I really want to say.

[Tyler]

That is we're like the voice in your ear.

[Brent]

So if you want another reason why females cannot be cops on the road doing anything tactical that in any part of their job has to interact with society other than. And so I'll just say the quiet thing out loud. So does that mean female cops can only write a desk? Well, yeah, that's, that's the only other job for them because they clearly cannot protect society. And she's pregnant. It didn't matter she was pregnant or not. The way she reacted via her, how, how unaggressive she was in her vehicle, how unaggressive she was, how overwhelmed she was. Pregnant or not, that's who she was. She had all the options in the world to take care of this without going hands on, without being pregnant. And she chose none of them other than to get out there essentially about to get her ass kicked. And thank God there was a man out there that did the work and even cuffed the guy for her.

[Tyler]

Well, I mean there's.

[Brent]

We can't have this. We can't have this.

[Tyler]

There's communication obviously, right. But in a situation like that, I'm giving a very little communication, letting them know what's going on. I'm going to handle it and then communicate. Right. She's communicating the entire narrative as it's going play by play by play by play. I'm going to hit him. I'm going to hit him. Ah, he hit me.

[Chris]

Ah, she. Was she on the radio saying that or just narrating for a camera?

[Brent]

This is.

[Tyler]

Oh gosh, maybe she was narrating for.

[Chris]

Herself because that's getting more and more popular.

[Brent]

Let's go, let's go back to this argument where like, well, there's only so many people applying for the job and we have to have ass inside seats. Right? And, and we we've talked about this several times. Tyler. I am, I am positive that if you take incompetent people like that off the road and become a police force that's respected, more people, more men will try out for the job. You will solve your problem by getting rid of your actual problem.

[Tyler]

That, that doesn't help with a 30 by 30 prerogative.

[Brent]

Yeah. And 30 by 30 doesn't help your, your city be safer either. So, so, so everything's not working.

[Chris]

What's really funny is my wife is a cop and she even says like, women shouldn't be cops.

[Brent]

Yes.

[Drew]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

You know, it's funny.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

We, I heard that the other day from Mike from Cottville. He's like, my wife's a cop and she's the first one. She's like, if, if all females turn in their badges, I would turn mine in too. But they're not going to.

[Drew]

My wife drives, and she says women shouldn't drive.

[Chris]

I support that more.

[Tyler]

Anyway.

[Brent]

It's disgusting. I can't. I can't. I can't stop talking about it. It's absolutely disgusting. That biker could have easily died. She could have easily died.

[Drew]

What do you guys think would have happened if that guy wasn't there?

[Chris]

She would have got her ass handed to her, gun taken from her, and probably killed.

[Brent]

Yes. Yep. She. She would not be here. And her baby.

[Chris]

And her baby.

[Brent]

That's. That's absolutely how that. How that ends.

[Tyler]

Yeah. Some agencies don't requ. Some agencies allow you to work as much as you want to work on the road during your pregnancy.

[Brent]

Why is she even out there pregnant? I bet she ain't now.

[Tyler]

I thought you meant pregnant.

[Drew]

That's what I thought he was doing. All right, Evan, Justin says Bjorn and Ty work for the stripper cop. Would it be a conflict of interest to have a sex worker working a Special Victims Unit?

[Tyler]

That was part of the argument is the fact that they're like, now this is a civilian outsider look on it. They were like, how could she be a spectral Victims Unit detective when she's in a music video being degraded by this guy?

[Chris]

Maybe she was undercover.

[Brent]

Yeah, yeah. She's doing her homework.

[Chris]

She was. And she was doing. For scientific reasons.

[Tyler]

What if she was deep undercover?

[Chris]

She just got burned.

[Brent]

What if we use the not even undercover. Let's use your argument against you. You. Before you join a police department or the. You know, the police force, you have to have a little bit of. Trying to think of the words. Use, how you phrase it, A little bit of criminal in you. A little bit. So you understand.

[Tyler]

A little bit of wild side.

[Brent]

Yeah, a little bit of wild side so you understand who you're dealing with. Maybe she's just, you know, how can she properly do her job? She doesn't really do some off, off, off, off, off time.

[Tyler]

You're supposed to do that before, though. Well, apparently, you can't be a narcotics detective and do drugs just because you're.

[Brent]

Like, you know, it's never good at your job, Tyler. It's never too late to be good at your job.

[Tyler]

I was just getting good in my.

[Chris]

You can't dip your pinky in the coke and, like, rub it on your gums anymore.

[Drew]

I think she was deep under the covers. Red combo 105 says new bat Bissette book out this year. Any word on him possibly coming on the podcast?

[Tyler]

I've asked Brent, like, three times.

[Brent]

Absolutely yeah, Kane.

[Tyler]

You write his name down?

[Brent]

No, I'm going to text him right now.

[Drew]

Kane, Coroff says there's no glory in killing the 50 little ones. Think of that giant rooster mount. Do you guys let your kids play video games?

[Brent]

There's no glory in killing the 50 little ones.

[Drew]

That would be a cool mount, brother. Do you guys let your kids play video games and how often?

[Tyler]

Great question. We talked about this the other day. Yeah, I let my kid play video games. I noticed that if you take them away from the video games or narrow it to one or two hours, their brain functions way better. You pull your kid off a video game bender, and they're zombie. They can't. They can't think.

[Drew]

Yeah, like a zombie.

[Brent]

Everything uses lightly. Everything is good in moderation. Drugs, Video games are good. And in moderation, drugs are good. And I guess some of them.

[Chris]

Some. Some. I have dogs.

[Brent]

I'm sure there's an application.

[Chris]

Is irrelevant.

[Brent]

There's an application.

[Drew]

Not everything is good. Just like you don't learn something new every day. Not everything's good in moderation.

[Brent]

Hey, for some people, weed is good. Moderation.

[Tyler]

Yeah, sure.

[Brent]

You know, I mean, so there you go for heroin.

[Tyler]

Not so much.

[Chris]

I'm not. I'm not against fentanyl because it's not like they're good people.

[Drew]

All right. Shapeshifter says, did you see TK On Veteran Biker yesterday cringe?

[Brent]

Oh, I didn't. But I didn't. I.

[Tyler]

Is it a good episode or a bad? Oh, did better and better.

[Brent]

Biker is.

[Tyler]

He's not our biggest fan.

[Brent]

No, no, he's not our biggest fan.

[Tyler]

He always has insults for our guests.

[Brent]

He's. He's his own personality, but he's also like. Jameson travels Right hand man as well. They're. They're. They're tied in together. I will. I will look that up and watch the ridiculousness of whatever it is those two. Those two had to say.

[Drew]

The Promethean group says Chris is 6, 7 of trend baloney sandwiches.

[Chris]

We were talking about that the other day. I wish.

[Drew]

All right, let's see. Holden. Holden, Two Dicks.

[Brent]

That may be one of my favorite screen names we have.

[Drew]

What's up, fellas? No questions. Just want Drew to say my name on the live again. TK Is still a. Keep up the good work. Sending love from Texas.

[Tyler]

Thanks, brother.

[Brent]

I'll be in Texas next week going to Rednecks with paychecks.

[Tyler]

What is that?

[Chris]

I don't know what that is, but it sounds good.

[Brent]

It's like a. It's Just a big redneck event. Just thousands of thousands of people come in. They.

[Tyler]

Are you going to attend it? Yeah.

[Brent]

Yeah. For. For the first time. I'm not going for work. I'm not going as a vendor. I'm not. I'm not going for a. You're like a world traveler for any other reason to have fun, which we travel a lot, but it's never for fun. Like, it's always for. It's always for work. So this is the one time, like, you know what this is? This one's for me.

[Chris]

Nice.

[Drew]

My bad.

[Tyler]

Redneck rednecks with paychecks.

[Brent]

They got those like, those like Barbie. Those Barbie trucks, and they got grown men in them. Like, they fly down the hill, they fly downhill.

[Tyler]

They take the battery compartment out and they just. They take all the restrictions.

[Brent]

Right?

[Tyler]

You just go based off weight.

[Brent]

Yeah. Oh, God. You know, they have like, massive, like rednecks with way too much money showing up and trucks that are way too big. I'm. I'm sure there will be side by sides out there that are.

[Tyler]

I'm sure there will be one person that goes to Anti Hero.

[Brent]

I'll take that. I'll take that there.

[Tyler]

I'll take that.

[Brent]

Those are our people.

[Drew]

Tyler, we're halfway through. Is there something we need to. Commercials we need to do or something?

[Tyler]

Drew, if I'm up, you take charge.

[Drew]

I don't know. I'm asking you.

[Tyler]

Yes, we will take a word from our sponsors. So go ahead and roll those sponsorships.

[Brent]

Hey, guys, I want to introduce our latest sponsor, Brotherhood Blades. They're made 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. Their blades are made to be used and abused 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 that you wouldn't usually use the blade for. Probably like using it as a screwdriver, something we've all done. 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. Antihero10 Cerakote is what we are known for, but we do a lot more. Howe Arms is a disabled veteran owned business specializing in customers, custom firearm creation and gunsmithing. Richard Howe, the company's founder, is a two tour army combat veteran 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. 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 out there.

[Drew]

And we're back.

[Brent]

Why does it have to be everyone?

[Drew]

Every job Asian conda says should get the bortac guy on the show.

[Tyler]

We should.

[Drew]

Oh, the Bortech. Is that the movie?

[Tyler]

No, we have coming. No, we have cumin. We have the. The cop in the Nashville shooting. The active shooter.

[Chris]

Oh no.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Chris something.

[Chris]

Good name.

[Tyler]

Worse. Well, I'm terrible with names.

[Brent]

Nice.

[Drew]

Speaking of Chris. Chris D says what are you more interested to see? Full JFK file or Epstein?

[Chris]

That's a good question.

[Tyler]

A real Epstein list. Not what they want you to see.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brent]

I'm gonna go the other way on this. I hate to say it. I understand. I understand the. The Epstein one because there's so many big names that could be in there, but in the day one's a president of the United States that was killed. It's such a high level incident that's had so much conspiracy theory around it for decades. I'm going that. But it's a difficult one. I'll see what I would like. Both.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brent]

But. Yeah, that's a. That's. That's a tough question.

[Drew]

All right, Raven two, three. You gotta fight. You gotta fight somebody here. Would you fight a biological woman with strength and skills like tk or fight a skinny high on brown. Brown which is cocaine and gunpowder mix.

[Tyler]

A skinny's a smallian, right?

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

Are we allowed to say that?

[Brent]

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

[Tyler]

I don't know if you don't know, you can't control if you.

[Brent]

I think if you say a term wrong and didn't know it was wrong. I still think you get a pass. Yeah, I'm assuming.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Skinny all day long. Because at the end of the day, if she has a skill and strength to take a. Then she is.

[Tyler]

Yeah, she's a woman.

[Brent]

Yeah, exactly.

[Chris]

There's way more risk than that.

[Brent]

Yeah. But if you say a woman with the skill set of TK I'm taking a woman all along because she's still a woman. She's still £80 below me and. And doesn't have my strength.

[Drew]

Nice moves.

[Tyler]

She's not on TRT.

[Drew]

Papperman 38. Thank you for the love, man. 50 bucks. Appreciate it. Say I ate happiness without the H's.

[Tyler]

Without the H, say. Okay. I ate happiness. I ate happiness. Oh, I ate a penis.

[Brent]

Got him.

[Tyler]

I'm just too stupid for it.

[Drew]

Oh, that's funny. That's funny. James Smith, another 50 bucks. Thank you so much, Bartholomew.

[Tyler]

This is getting good.

[Drew]

If you don't close out tonight's live with the song Locomotive by motorhead. It means three things. One, I wasted 50 bucks. Two, you were the gayest man in the hot tub. And three, Seal six is better.

[Brent]

My man knows how to get what he wants.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you're gonna set a precedence now, though. Everyone's gonna be like, I'm donating 50 bucks to know the song.

[Brent]

The other thing he's got going for him, It's a win, win situation. It's a Motorhead song. So we can. We can. We can live with that.

[Drew]

He's a negotiator here.

[Brent]

Yeah, that's right.

[Tyler]

All right.

[Drew]

Brandon Bailey. Brad. Trying to get my local cigar shop in Denton, Texas to stock FRCC cigars.

[Brent]

Hell, yeah.

[Drew]

Anything to help out, Bert.

[Brent]

That is a huge help. Thank you so much.

[Tyler]

I called you two different names in the same message.

[Drew]

Well played. All right. I really appreciate it, Brit. Scaro. Hey, guys, can you shout out my buddy Holden his thanks, guys?

[Brent]

Let's hold in two.

[Drew]

Dick's cousins. All right. Very good, Justin. Carling Hundred dollars doesn't have anything embarrassing for me to read. Just give love like a good man.

[Brent]

It's like a pit. It's like a pity chat for you. Thank you, Justin and Drew will take it.

[Drew]

Thank you, Justin. Appreciate you guys. You other guys, too. All right, Plight Designs back in bunt. You guys still need to watch the Iron Sharpens iron video. Also, a 24 is dropping a new movie in April.

[Chris]

I don't know what any of that means.

[Tyler]

824 is a movie production company that's made some really good borderline indie movies that have. Gosh, I don't know if that. If they're dropping a war movie about iron sharpens iron.

[Brent]

I wonder. I don't think it is, but I gotta look. Jared. Jared Taylor, you know, from. From Black Rifle, was really hitting me up about this, like, British movie. Here it is, it's called Fallen Soldier. And it's. And it's about. Anyway, it's. It's a. It's about these British guys, ex military, whatever it is, they do, and they go do badass things. But the cool thing about it is it's made from like, the British Marines or British paratroopers, like former actual soldiers, through all their fight scenes and, and all their, like, tactical scenes. Like, spot on because it's done by those guys. So that's, that's, That'll be another good one to watch too.

[Tyler]

We've seen a movie called Range 15 that was acted by all. You remember that movie?

[Brent]

I do. And, you know, it's crazy. I've never seen it and I actually want. Every time I get reminded of it, like, you know, I should probably watch that.

[Tyler]

I'm sure it's in it.

[Brent]

My hero. All right. I know he. Unfortunately, he probably thought that was a documentary when it was just. It was just a silly movie.

[Chris]

I am convinced he wanted a movie that he could start after 100.

[Tyler]

Tim Kennedy stars in Tim Kennedy.

[Drew]

Did you guys see any of the news? Like the, you know, President of. Of Ukraine, you know, visiting the White House and his behavior there? What do you guys think of that?

[Tyler]

It was awesome.

[Brent]

So did you see it? Yeah, yeah, we talked about it on the, on the. Live by. On. On the Valhalla Live.

[Drew]

Oh, you did?

[Brent]

Yeah. And. And a guy actually tried to correct me and say that's not true. And, and, and I hate to say it. He's. He's just not true and he's uninformed. People can be upset at the way Trump and J.D. vance acted. They did. On the surface level, it did not seem, let's be honest, that they, they were very nice or presidential, whatever you want to call, like their, their demeanor. Here's what people don't understand, and that's crazy if you think about it. So they want that. He wanted that mineral deal so bad. I mean, he wanted all these security agreements tied. Tied in with the mineral deal. He was told, no security. We've won. We've done enough for you. And the mineral deposit thing was just for you to both. It's a, it's kind of a quid pro Quo. It's good for them, it's good for us, but it is a way for us to get paid back. And so he was told no on the security details, arrangements, time and time and time again. And then he says he's going to sign the agreement and he's going to come down here. President Trump announces, hey, we have this major win for America where he's going to come down and sign this mineral deal. And then when he comes in, he's like, I can't sign that. None of the security guarantees are in there, which was really crappy of him to do. He was told they were never going to, to be agreed upon. And there is a peace talk that Trump is trying to get done with with the two, whatever, whatever you think about that situation, them coming to peaceful agreements, everyone should be behind to some degree. I understand, I understand it has to be. They really can't be a loser in it. But, but what he wanted out of some of those security guarantees were basically going to ensure that there would be no peace talk or peace deal ever. So for a former, so for a president to come in and do both those things were very underhanded and people didn't understand how underhanded that was and why J.D. vance and President Trump were so upset about it and talk the way they did to him on the lot. Now that's, and now, you know, I mean, it was a, it was a really is a snake oil salesman thing, thing to do from a country who's given you billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars.

[Chris]

I don't think people give those two enough credit about calculated. They are, they had an agenda, they had intent, they got what they wanted done.

[Brent]

And, and here's, here's the thing. He's a businessman, which is what I want for, for the first time, I want this place run like a business. What is good for us. And that is exactly the way Trump would have handled any other business deal of another CEO or another, you know, we'll just call it a CEO that comes in to make a deal with him and then when it comes time to sign the papers, try to do a bait and switch, you don't, so you don't like the way the, you know, that the sausage is made. But that's exactly how that would have been dealt with in any other business situation. So sorry, you got to see that. Sorry you don't like that. But guess what? It is what's best for America.

[Tyler]

Love it.

[Drew]

100%.

[Tyler]

This week's Patreon winner, Zach Brandt. You are the winner of a Cloud Defensive Admin light. Although small, very practical and useful. You clip it right on your collar, on your patrol uniform. The little button doesn't work because the battery's not in it, but the battery comes with it and it comes with a charging cable. So, Zach Brandt, along with some other swag, we'll be sending you a Cloud Defensive Admin light.

[Brent]

I'm saying I love those little lights because I usually carry a Brotherhood blades pocket knife with me everywhere I go. Every man should have a knife with them. It's so small, it should go right by your knife. And I guarantee if you have a lot that little light with you, you will use it all the time. Yeah, it's one of those things like you don't know how much you'll use it until you have it on you.

[Chris]

I carry one all the time.

[Brent]

I like that. That's flat. It's a little. It's a little bigger than I would like. But then again, you're 6, 7, so it's probably normal.

[Chris]

A thousand lumens, though, so.

[Brent]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that little light's probably.

[Chris]

I do like that little light. I think it's like 300 lumens for how small it is.

[Brent]

It's nice.

[Tyler]

This thing isn't small. This thing's huge.

[Drew]

That's what he said. How about. What do you guys think of the. The irony of the political party that cries so loudly for women's rights but yet turned down the trans bill for sports?

[Tyler]

That always blew my mind. How are. How are you pro women and allowing men to beat the fuck out of women and Trump.

[Drew]

Trump that much.

[Brent]

Here's the problem. The Democrats have gone down this slippery slope of deciding who they're going to side with. And as soon as gays brought in transgenders under their umbrella, that essentially married the Democratic Party to transgenders. And for them, they, they. They can't. They can't go against them. They should, but they, they literally will not. I know it'll blow your mind, but they've. They can't.

[Drew]

It's crazy.

[Brent]

Unless they're just going to start having morals all of a sudden.

[Drew]

Well, you know, he's.

[Tyler]

Their morals.

[Drew]

Joseph James, when is Brent going to be on the Sean Ryan show?

[Tyler]

Good question.

[Brent]

I just, I.

[Tyler]

Good question.

[Brent]

I just don't. Yes, I do believe that would be beneficial for me and slightly selfish way.

[Tyler]

It would be beneficial for everybody.

[Brent]

I just don't. There'd have to be some talks about that. I got it just couldn't be.

[Tyler]

Have you Ever said why on here? You might not want to say why. I know, you've told me. I just didn't know.

[Brent]

I mean there are people he's had on his show that, that I will want to bring up on this show. And you know, if that's a non start, you know, if he doesn't want to hear the other side, which I actually think he does. But I also, I also see why he would. Would not. Not that how that could be somewhat bad for business.

[Tyler]

I've said this. Why if he's like, okay, I need to correct the information. It's the best way he looks the best by allowing someone to correct it on his show rather than him having to come and say, hey, I got this wrong. He has you telling how he's wrong. It just looks better.

[Brent]

And the other thing is, you know, four hours is a long time to talk about yourself and not say something stupid. And I'm in good standings with the unit. I'd like to stay in good standings with the unit. And so we, so we would have to find something else to talk about. You know, I mean, I've said, I know I've talked about the unit before and other like interviews where it's where I'm the one being interviewed. I don't mind that, but there's only so much I'm willing to say and, and that. And it will not take up four hours. So the other things would have to be on the table to take up those four hours.

[Tyler]

That's true. Got some videos. Finally.

[Brent]

I've been waiting for this one.

[Tyler]

Not doing it because you came disrespectfully.

[Brent]

I'm fine.

[Chris]

Is that a mouthpiece?

[Brent]

Just let's bring that, let's bring the tone down, okay?

[Tyler]

We can have a man to man conversation.

[Chris]

Yeah, let's bring it down.

[Brent]

Kyle. Kyle. You don't bring it, you're violating federal law, bro. Can you, can you stop and I'm calling you.

[Tyler]

I understand. We know this federal law. Just stop saying it.

[Brent]

I understand that. I understand. Understand you're trying to educate. Okay, I appreciate that, but can we bring the tone here? If we're gonna have a conversation, fine. If he doesn't yell, you're not gonna yell, right? Brad enters the conversation doing it.

[Tyler]

Look at these guys. The sane one has the, has the spartan shield with a blue line through it. So clearly he didn't get accepted in the academy. And he's got the giant gauges. If you want to look the part, look the part. You want to be a cop, look Like a cop. I mean, the other guy is just the most outlandish thing I've ever seen in my life.

[Chris]

I got lost in the uniform. Like, the extended mags and all kinds of.

[Tyler]

He literally had bells and whistles.

[Chris]

Oh, yeah.

[Tyler]

Oh, that is a gas station security it. If I've ever seen.

[Brent]

I want to know so much more. I do. Like what. How to end of sorts. But how'd it start?

[Tyler]

Like, how do you get hired?

[Brent]

How do you get those two, like, walking out the parking lot and having a heated conversation with you? You, like, what did you do in a store to get those two, like, attention? Like, I'm. I'm sure. I'm sure whatever it was, it was small and didn't warrant it. However, like, I want to know what.

[Tyler]

Federal law is violating.

[Brent]

How simple can it. I'm not. I mean, saying, like, that those guys in the car recording it were in the wrong. So. Because I don't know. But all I can think about is this. How easy is it to go into a store, pick something off the shelf, buy it, and walk out and not have to get into an altercation with anyone? And I'm saying, like I said, I actually think those security guards were probably in the wrong. But what ammunition did you give them to even get this going?

[Chris]

If I had to guess, they could be like first amendment auditors or something. Those people just, like, stir the pot type of those guys. They saw them and maybe thought they were cops.

[Brent]

And those guys.

[Tyler]

Or that guy was probably making fun of them, being like, you have a.

[Chris]

That's true, too.

[Brent]

Yeah. And. And. And they wouldn't be wrong by saying that. But I mean, but then again, like, they. It goes back to you, whether auditors or. Or just making fun of them, you kind of. You kind of ask for it, you know, of sorts. I'm. I'm here for it.

[Tyler]

I know. I mean.

[Brent]

I mean, I'm here for it.

[Tyler]

All right. Young Brent gets a 12 pack deep and then sees that guy. You're not gonna say something?

[Brent]

Dog Brett was an embarrassment to old Brett.

[Tyler]

Okay, so. So this guy. I know. We all know now who he is. He is a juvenile male who has had brain surgery because of. I. I don't. I don't think. Was it cancer? Both terminal cancer. Okay, so we all know that now. When this video came out, no one knew who the. This. I thought it was a mentally adult. So knowing that, we know now that it is a juvenile. He was brought in on wherever. You know, Trump made him an official Secret Service guy. What Was he doing in this situation where grown women were mocking him? Was he brought in by a parent and introduced into the situation? Was he out on his own? Where? How did he get here? But.

[Brent]

Look at your widow. Tasel.

[Drew]

I am asking our new Secret Service.

[Brent]

Director, Sean Curran, to officially make you.

[Tyler]

An agent of the United States Secret Service. So, yeah, I love it too, and that's amazing. But again, how do you get in that situation?

[Brent]

You know what? I, I don't know exactly which, like what side you're taking or like what you think about it, but I'll tell you one thing that just seems sickens me about that culture. And he's like, well, what do you mean, that culture? Well, there's black people in the video, so it's, it's, it's black culture. I just, it's, it's, it is what it is. I'm, I'm actually kind of tired of being, not, not not being able to say things because I, I know I'm right about it. If you want to dress up as a rapper, they'd be falling all over him. If you want to dress up as a football player, they'd be rooting them on for whatever reason this kid decides, I want to. I want to be the person that stands up in my neighborhood against evil. I will be that person that, that you. That protects the neighborhood. And you don't have to worry about getting your house broken into, your car broken into at an early age. I'll be that guy. And he gets nothing but mocked by his own culture. It's sickening. Yeah.

[Tyler]

And I, I'm wondering what kind of adult would allow that to happen and.

[Brent]

Exactly. And I'm just, since, since we're having the conversation on is there and yes, we're speaking like generally. Generally speaking, because it is okay to speak generally and not always have to pull out the, the odds and standard, you know, the, the one offs. Put an Asian kid up there and you know, in a, in a police outfit, you think he's walking around the Asian community getting mocked? I don't think so. Do it to the white community. I, I don't think so. Pick out whatever you want to pick out. Pick another one out. Why? Why?

[Drew]

100%. 100.

[Brent]

These, these will never. We so badly want, want to get to like the end game of a not divided country and an end game of where everybody's accepted, but we're not willing to say, hey, this is, this is why you're having a hard time being accepted. If we don't say the right things and point out the right problems, we'll never get to the right solution. Same thing we talk about with mental health. Why is this any different? Yeah, I'll be the. I'll be the bad guy for saying it out loud.

[Tyler]

Yeah, you're not the bad guy. It's just. It's a. It's a culture. It's fatherless. I mean, I don't know. I was thinking about that too. When I was driving around, I was like, all these kids out here have no fathers at home.

[Chris]

Oh, that's.

[Tyler]

And that's a culture.

[Brent]

And you know what was sitting right next to that dude, you know, when he was, you know, at the. At the whatever the. About the presidential speech. Looked like his dad. Yeah. And now he's. And that's the type of. That's the type of son, you know, that he has with a. With a. With a dad in his life.

[Chris]

Yeah. One thing I definitely hate is like the child services calls when you just know the kid's got no chance.

[Tyler]

Yep.

[Chris]

It breaks your heart.

[Tyler]

Little two year olds in their diapers going like this.

[Brent]

Are you referring to that specific.

[Tyler]

I went to the hospital. I went to the child's hospital. And further, it's like, okay, what else we got?

[Drew]

This one?

[Tyler]

Yeah, let's do this one. This was sent to us by Jason from Vengeance.

[Brent]

Really? Yeah.

[Tyler]

Where's.

[Brent]

Or where are they?

[Tyler]

Car accident. Yo, come here, come here, come here. Come to me.

[Drew]

County 11.

[Tyler]

I haven't tried working fire. What's in the tanker?

[Brent]

Nothing.

[Drew]

It's empty right now, but there was.

[Brent]

A diesel kerosene mix in it last night or yesterday.

[Tyler]

Is this.

[Brent]

Can I go up to it?

[Tyler]

You could go up to it.

[Brent]

I just don't know if it's gonna.

[Drew]

Good thing he's not a little girl.

[Tyler]

So that. What was awesome about that is that cop pulled the other driver to him and said, what's in your truck? And he said, it's this and this. Were hauled here yesterday, but there could be this. This. And the cop goes, can I go over there? And the guy goes, yeah. But as soon as he heard, yeah, he booked it. He didn't wait for how safe is it? How he heard, can I go over there? And he's, yeah, but boom, gone.

[Brent]

I guess I'm just on this. This hate path right now. And so let's go back to generally speaking, that was just a random. Generally random male officer that showed up on scene and did that, wasn't scared and can pull that other grown man from the vehicle dead.

[Tyler]

Weight.

[Brent]

Dead weight. Not easy. Do you think your general female cop could have done that? I can tell you this. The other video we saw of a pregnant cop who. Who was armed to the teeth and couldn't do anything about a guy beating up her car. And she's on the inside protecting. Couldn't do anything to save herself. So I know she's not going to save that guy again. I'm just tired of pretending like everything's okay when. When they're not. And it's a simple answer.

[Chris]

I'll throw you a curveball.

[Brent]

Throw it to me.

[Chris]

Scott.

[Brent]

How? And I talked about this.

[Chris]

Nauseam.

[Brent]

What about fat summon that 100 fat. Fat cops get the same hate.

[Chris]

It's an easy answer.

[Brent]

And Right.

[Chris]

How do you change it?

[Brent]

How do you change it? I love that you asked me that.

[Tyler]

We lower the standards.

[Brent]

Here's how. Here's. Here's how you do it. You pick the fattest one. I'm telling you. This is. Write this down. Leaders and the police world and firefighter world. In every other world. Find the fattest piece of crap and fire him immediately. And then look at the next fattest guy and be like, you're next. You have 90 days. Or you're. Or you're next. And that guy will shed the weight so fast it'll. It'll make your head spin. And then it'll make you wonder, why didn't we do this sooner? You think that guy doesn't want to retire with a pension? You think that guy doesn't want to continue doing.

[Tyler]

Of course he does.

[Brent]

You've just given him no reason to do it.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brent]

Okay. So let me. So let me. Let me. Let me. Let me take it back. Because you're right. And I know that's. That's a perfect world. You know what? I'm going to give him the absolute crappiest job.

[Tyler]

Yes. That embarrasses lateral transfer. Nothing wrong with that. That's not predictive.

[Brent]

You will do something that you are not proud of. Because guess what? We're not proud of you. And you raised your hand to protect the citizens of this community against all odds and in any situation you may find yourself in. But your physical fitness says, I'd rather eat 10 grilled cheese sandwiches a day than be prepared to do my job and help out my brothers and protect my citizens. What a piece of crap are you. Because you can say whatever you want to say. They'll say, oh, I'm good enough for one. Oh, I've been doing this job for 10 years. And I've always been able to do what. What's been required of me. But your physical fat ass is telling me different.

[Tyler]

You know, there's somebody out there on a 10 grilled cheese sandwich diet. Like.

[Brent]

Guess what, Chris? You can have a grilled. Grilled cheese. You've earned the grilled cheese.

[Tyler]

You've earned the grilled cheese, Chris.

[Brent]

He didn't earn it.

[Chris]

You're not wrong.

[Brent]

Thank you.

[Chris]

Bullying.

[Tyler]

Great.

[Chris]

Again. Just bully him into submission.

[Tyler]

Yeah, that is actually a really good.

[Brent]

And sometimes, sometimes I, I hate speaking at a turn, you know, in a, in a world that I'm not a part of. How many years did you serve as a law enforcement officer? If you don't mind me asking? How many? 34, 40. 40? Am I wrong? Because I, I'll, I'll, I'm not wrong.

[Chris]

That's the issue.

[Brent]

I'm, I'm certain of this. I'm certain of this. Like, you can always. I don't say this is what you guys are doing, but you will always find a reason to not do it. Like, but if you want to find a reason to do it and you know, and a reason to get around it and a reason to. You uphold a standard, you'll find it.

[Tyler]

I've been shaming fat cops. I got you by my side. That's it.

[Drew]

There was a, there was a comment says, what if. What if the fat cop can outperform 75 of the people in the department.

[Tyler]

That'S fine, but that's an outlier.

[Brent]

He won't. He won't. That's a stupid question. What if he can? He won't.

[Drew]

Then that means they've got way too many women in their department.

[Chris]

Capability is subjective based on looks. As. I know two dudes that I'm very good friends with that are big bodies, but they're one of those two of the most dangerous people I know. They can swim, run, fight, like the best of them.

[Tyler]

And that's what I'm saying. That's an out.

[Chris]

Capability is there. Just because they're big doesn't mean they can't do the job. But being big, sloppy, fat and incapable is unacceptable.

[Tyler]

Generally speaking, fat people cannot do the job.

[Brent]

And, and I love Marines for, for this aspect. It's two things. Don't get me wrong. Everything we've been talking about is number one. It's absolutely number on this list. But here is actually number two on the list. And it, and it does matter. You have got to look respectable and uniform. You have to. You can't look sloppy in Uniform and then demand respect. Respect at the end of the day has to be earned. And it's earned by how you look and how you carry yourself and how you do your job. You just don't get it.

[Chris]

The greatest trick ever played on society is that every cop is a bad. Everybody's a good shooter, good communicator, good fighter, good at writing reports, knows all case law, the statute, everything. Like the movies. It is. Thank God people think that because more people probably would like with cops otherwise have you. Because you don't know who you're gonna get when you show up. But God, if the people only knew, oh like how low the standard has gotten.

[Tyler]

Have you seen when they interviewed three cop killers in prison? And how, how they would, how they would determine how they were going to act when they were like, I'm pretty much saying, like, listen, if the guy comes up with his, with his squared away uniform.

[Brent]

Give you this right here.

[Tyler]

Oh, you get the rocket ship.

[Brent]

Get the rocket ship, the SpaceX. Turn it upside down.

[Chris]

No.

[Brent]

Turn it upside down, rocket man.

[Tyler]

Don't stick it there. No.

[Brent]

Yeah, what the hell? I know. That's. I'm pretty sure that's why we put fins on it. Keep people like you from putting it in places up.

[Chris]

I'll find a way.

[Tyler]

These guys, they talked, they were like, this is how we would, we would target cops if a, if a, a cop came out that looked like a bag of ass. I know how I'm going to handle him because I know he's unprofessional, he's not prepared.

[Brent]

Yeah, I, I could, I could have guessed that. Because at the end of the day.

[Tyler]

That'S exactly how terrorists decide they want to win too.

[Brent]

What unit they want to pick on, you know, pick a fight with, with, you know, it's exactly, it's bad guys have the same playbook across the world. Yeah.

[Chris]

They don't want hard work. That's right.

[Brent]

Yep.

[Drew]

Let's see. Chuck, five bucks. Brent, did you serve with Kevin Holland? Was he the only one that came from Dev Group?

[Brent]

Yes, and I do believe he was the only one that came. Yes. Yeah. From, from, from Dev group. And he's a great guy. Continues to serve in a great way with nonprofit work around the world using those skills and other places. Great dude.

[Drew]

Smash says don't forget JD Vances was E4 mafia. Semper 5, Raven 2 3. I'm surprised that nobody really caught Zielinski calling JD Vance a beach in Ukrainian.

[Brent]

Oh, you're surprised.

[Drew]

I mean, we don't know Ukrainian.

[Chris]

I was gonna say who speaks?

[Brent]

Yeah, I'm not brushed up on my Ukrainian.

[Tyler]

Did he. Did he do it?

[Brent]

Yeah, maybe. Cal says yes.

[Tyler]

Oh, wow.

[Brent]

Not. There's two things you don't do. You don't boo our hockey team. You know, you don't beat Canada, and you don't call her VP A.

[Drew]

You know, the prime minister in Canada said we're going to keep booing the. The. The national anthem for the US because of the tariffs that have been. He's. He's just like. We're in a terrafor with us right now.

[Tyler]

Good.

[Chris]

They're gonna leave.

[Brent]

Let me know how that works out for you.

[Chris]

DeSantis said.

[Drew]

Speaking of Mike, Chris, let's hear. Good.

[Chris]

Enjoy looking at a Stanley cup or something like that because Florida's won it for the last, what, six years?

[Tyler]

Oh, they're gonna have to come to Florida. They're gonna have to come to Florida to get a good look at the Stanley Cup.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Nice.

[Chris]

I love dad DeSantis.

[Drew]

All right. Aaron Bourne. Homestead says Brent wins your only fans debut. You could sell your sweaty shirts on there.

[Chris]

He doesn't sweat.

[Brent]

Oh, it's. I'm. I'm gonna stay away from. I. We got to do Sean Ryan first. We even talk about only fans. It's way down the list.

[Tyler]

We're gonna plug it right there. You gotta have the content made already.

[Drew]

All right. Kane Corsa says. Do you think if America viewed itself as an empire, our. Our foreign policy would be more coherent? My marine.

[Brent]

Yeah, no. Yeah, Go ahead. Keep on.

[Drew]

My marine buddy says an offer of 40 acres and a mule to marines in Afghanistan would have won the war.

[Chris]

You got a point.

[Brent]

Yeah, in a weird way, I do. Let's stop pretending like. Like we're just some, like, never ending bread basket to the world when we should act like what we are. We're a world superpower. And what. What our country needs matters more than what your country needs.

[Tyler]

Yeah.

[Brent]

You're paying the bills. You can. Not like how I said that. But I guarantee you, everyone else lives their life that way, and I can't.

[Tyler]

Help you until I'm good.

[Brent]

That's right. And I say it all the time until there's. Until there is not one single hungry kid with, you know, and has and has shoes on his feet in Detroit, Chicago, and across America. I don't really care what your problem is. The rest of the world. You got to solve it the same way we do. We got problems, too.

[Drew]

Polite design says bag caddy. The iron sharpens. Iron video is The Green Beret recruiting ad. And it's actually good. Would love to see your reaction.

[Brent]

Let's see how long it is. If it's a recruiting ad, it shouldn't be that long.

[Drew]

I'll have to find it.

[Brent]

Yeah, yeah, we'll find it. Give me this one. Then we'll. We'll talk a little bit.

[Drew]

It all right. Back, man. Union Trump derangement syndrome couldn't even stand up for a kid on his deathbed in a feel good moment.

[Brent]

Did you see some of the reactions that like CNN had and MSNBC had, like, they hate Trump so much, they even took that. And here's the best. Here's the best thing you could have done, just ignored it, honestly. Because they even take that and they're like, oh, how dare you parade this kid around and pretend like you care when you don't care. Like there's nothing that man can do that. I mean, come on. They get even. If you don't like him, you still. You. You're gonna pretend like 100 of the things he does is bad and you can't give any credit where credit's due. That's insane to me. Let's. We'll get through this. This little ad real quick. We'll see. See how long it is. Three hours. We'll see the beginning of it. Let's see the beginning of it. But I'm interested.

[Tyler]

This is great.

[E]

From here on the hallowed grounds of Fort Liberty, near the intersection of Rock, Merit, and Ardennes Destin, to the green marble is a quote from the 35th President of the United States. And it reads that the Green Beret is again becoming a symbol, a symbol of excellence, a badge of courage, and a mark of distinction in the fight for freedom. President Kennedy also challenged us and challenged our nation to go to the moon, not because it was easy, but because it was hard.

[Drew]

We were there.

[E]

I talk a lot about an article I read a while ago in which the author wrote about how today's youth, well, they're lazy. They're lazy in language and communication. They don't seek hard work nor have the endurance to see it through. They are nor gritty or resolute, and they lack ambition. That article was from an op ed in the 1938 edition of the Chicago Tribune. The youth the author talked about went on to parachute behind enemy lines in France, in storm beaches like Omaha, in Utah, ultimately becoming the greatest generation. And as great as that generation was, I believe that your generation can be even greater. Your solemn objective that underpins every bead of sweat, every track of your tears, every strain and terror of your muscles and every drop of blood. That objective is simply to ensure that our flag is still there. Our nation will require answers without even knowing the questions. But answer you will, and we will answer them together. The world will hear them where they need to be heard. Whether at tarmac in Africa or a mountaintop in Asia sprawling city under the threat of tyranny, or in a village building the resiliency and audacity required to free the oppressed. Your green beret will be where the nation requires they be. So may your eyes light up. We are deeply proud of you. We applaud you, we love you and we thank you. Day oppressor bear.

[Brent]

Flying soldiers from the.

[Tyler]

Sky Fearless men who jump and die Men who mean just what they say the brave men of the green.

[E]

You know, when I was the featured percussionist in the North Ohio Elementary Choir's 1989 Fall Ensemble, I just knew that one day I'd be on stage inside of an extravagant performance arts theater.

[Brent]

Well, yeah, I gotta be honest, that, that didn't motivate me at all. I don't, but I don't. I don't see the draw in it, but for some reason I felt the need to put this on and I think I'm gonna go ruck 20 miles after the show tonight.

[Tyler]

You better hope that moon landing's real. That whole ad's gone out the window.

[Brent]

I tell you what, I'm super excited about. Just, yeah, we talk about like, yeah, I feel like there's a culture change like that. Like the. It's not gone. We went from just a few years ago, some of the gayest, most ads for our military, and we wondered why we have such a poor quality in recruitment. Those are the ads we now need to have.

[Tyler]

That was super cool too, when he, when he was reading that, that thing about the generation and the problem with the youth you're thinking he's talking about right now. And he goes, that was in 1938. So people are saying that about today's generation. So, yeah, yeah, there's gonna be special people in there.

[Brent]

Absolutely. There's special people in every generation. And I do believe this. Have something catastrophic happen to America today and watch America's men, young men, stand up and become who we need them.

[Drew]

To be and meet the standard.

[Brent]

And they'll meet the standard, but the standard has to be set and the standard cannot come down because they'll join, they'll meet the standard, whatever that standard is. So I hope to God. When that happens, the standard is high. So when we send those guys overseas, they bring pain with them.

[Drew]

Yeah, buddy Bagman Union says, was that a red plate carrier? He is. He is obviously gay. Must be a fireman pretending to be a cop.

[Brent]

Hot.

[Drew]

All right, Mike Oxlong says.

[Tyler]

What is it? Ox long my Ox long, Mike. Ox long my, my.

[Brent]

Cox long M.

[Drew]

All right, man, you guys really stretch. You guys really stretching these cock jokes. All right, win. When are they going to deploy coalition asset Tim Kennedy to Mexico to finally take care of these cartels once and for all?

[Brent]

True. Would you say that screen name was a mouthful for you?

[Drew]

Oh, yeah, that's definitely a mouthful.

[Brent]

Yeah, they're not going to. Because it's much easier to write a book about how great you are than to actually go and do it.

[Tyler]

You got eight minutes to fly through the super chats.

[Drew]

Well, give me a sec.

[Tyler]

You lose them?

[Drew]

My, my, my. My screen froze.

[Tyler]

Did Vanessa continue to update the other one? Man, she quit on us, huh? All right, I'll pick up what I have. Marcus Stryker. 50 bucks. Another great show. Keep it up.

[Drew]

Okay, I got it back. Mike Wheeler. Hey, Tyler. Is your U.S. marshall buddy Joe have last name with a W?

[Tyler]

Yeah, he's a big ass, too. He's on sog. How do you know? How does that person. Who is that?

[Drew]

Who is it?

[Tyler]

Does he have a name?

[Drew]

So the Cox Long guy, Joseph James, says CAG daddy was Joe Kent in the Isaac.

[Brent]

I don't know who Joe Kent is. No, I don't know.

[Tyler]

What's the ISA back to Google.

[Brent]

The intelligence? I'll tell you here in a second. Keep going. I'll get back to you.

[Drew]

Well, this one's for you, Brent Airborne. Homestead. Brent, any thoughts on if the black helicopter folks and bearded CAG daddies are the ones that pulled the ISIS fighter out of Pakistan? Or the frat bros at Virginia Beach. Don't send the seals nsdq?

[Brent]

I don't know. I'll have to look into that. And that's actually something my old friends are usually pretty good about. Let me know some cool stuff. And I don't know about that one.

[Drew]

Pulled the ISIS fighter out of Pakistan. Do you know that?

[Brent]

I'll find out. I want to know.

[Chris]

He's the guy who planned the the bombing when they were doing the pull out of Afghanistan.

[Brent]

Okay.

[Drew]

All right. Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong says get it right. Marines have a lance corporal underground. Not an E4 mafia, but combat camera. JD is killing it. Also, it's easy to look good in uniform when the uniforms look good and the cammies work. Hashtag acus.

[Brent]

Oh, he's not wrong. He got, he got his little. He got his little slight in there, and he's right.

[Tyler]

Have fun with your Vietnam rifle.

[Drew]

Sun Wukong back in says that ad was badass. Semper.

[Brent]

Yeah, that was a good one.

[Drew]

Plight Designs. Also, thank you Plight Designs for that, for that video recommendation.

[Tyler]

Look at Drew. He's got like eight.

[Drew]

I think we all heard a thump from a combination of that ad and HPTRT there.

[Tyler]

It's awesome.

[Drew]

I see James De La Cruz says Army needs to make a recruitment commercial like the Marines won fighting a lava monster. Monster.

[Brent]

I don't know about the lava monster part, but I will say this. Marines traditionally have had good, good recruiting videos for sure, and so have the Navy SEALs. I think we talked about this before. One of the most subtle, coolest advertisement seals ever did was just like the, it's just a blacked out. Yeah. Ocean. The waves are. And there's no, there's no footprints. Next wave goes, there's footprints. Next wave goes, no footprints. Like Navy SEALs. Like.

[Tyler]

Damn it, that was cool.

[Brent]

So simple, but so effective.

[Tyler]

Or the Godsmack commercial.

[Brent]

Y.

[Chris]

Yes.

[Tyler]

That was a good one too.

[Brent]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Tess says, what is your favorite brand of. Is that Gucci? AR?

[Chris]

Yeah, Knights Armament, LMT.

[Drew]

Gucci. The same people that make purses make ARs.

[Tyler]

No, it's like Gucci, as in like.

[Brent]

No, just.

[Drew]

You'Re bougie.

[Brent]

Ar.

[Drew]

Okay.

[Tyler]

All right.

[Drew]

Kac, LMT or something else.

[Brent]

I, I, I'm just not a Gucci, AR. AR fan. I'm just not. If you want to spend way too much money on a rifle, go ahead. Or you could spend a fraction on that on a gun that, you know, works and buy a tier one lion arms gun. Wink magnet. Gotcha.

[Drew]

Shapeshifter 5. You're never wrong, Brent. Shapeshifter 5 says as a Marine, I approve that message. Keep the beret on, bro. That's a super chats.

[Tyler]

That's it, that's it.

[Brent]

All right, all right, all right.

[Drew]

We got another Michael Wheeler in the house. I'm an idiot. Forgot to type in last chat. That's true, Michael. And I'm actually sorry for not saying thanks for your. No, no text in the last one. I'm an idiot. Forgot to type in the last chat. Getting expensive, I believe. I worked with Joe and Roanoke.

[Tyler]

Oh, yeah, he used to work for rpd. Yeah, he's a Marine, too.

[Brent]

Nice. Traditionally. I'm sure both you guys have do military that go into Law enforcement, even if it's just, you know, usually one contract. Right. Whether it be four years of experience or even national guardsmen that do it, are they generally better prepared and equipped and that. Does that make them better police officers or. Not necessarily. It's just another. It's just another combat arms. Just another job. Profession.

[Tyler]

No, I'd say. I'd say your combat arms military come in and they're in shape, they understand discipline. They understand chain command. They understand respect. But just when you say I was in the military. That does not mean anything. That does not mean anything.

[Chris]

And depends on how they age, too.

[Tyler]

Yeah. What if they came from G. What.

[Brent]

So what are you saying? Yes or no?

[Chris]

Yes.

[Brent]

Generally speaking.

[Chris]

Generally speaking, yes.

[Tyler]

Yes.

[Brent]

Okay. But not a. Not an overwhelmingly always. I understand there's some depends. But generally speaking, yes. Is that. We're getting that.

[Tyler]

I don't know. Okay. To be fair, generally speaking right now. No, no.

[Chris]

At one point. Yes.

[Tyler]

Five years ago. Yeah.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brent]

All right. Is someone on my Bluetooth? Is someone on my Bluetooth? Someone was. Because it just. All right, we'll see. I'm connected. Why do we have this problem every time?

[Drew]

Well, while we wait. Hey, guys. Everybody out there. We're trying to get into as many cigar lounges as we can across the nation. A lot of you have contacted me through the [e-mail] thank you so much. We're doing a lot of money to first responders. FRCC's given a thousand dollars to the young child tonight. We'd love to do more, but we can only do more if people are using the product. So go out there, tell your cigar lounges to get us in there. Thanks, guys.

[Brent]

Thank you. Drew. That was a perfect use of that time, selfishly. Motorhead locomotive as requested. I don't think we'll be disappointed.

[Tyler]

Except other motivated guys. They appreciate a good speed walk. Like, why. Why you in a hurry? Worry? I. I don't know.
