  • Quote: “You have to have that long play once... The best joke that I played...I called Phil Labonte, lead singer of All That Remains, had him make a special video, and made the world think Matt was getting married in Vegas. By the time we landed, 800,000 people had watched it.” – JT [13:48]

---

  • Quote: “Evan’s first conversation with me... How do we make enough money to hire engineers to launch Priuses from the air so we can shoot them with tanks?... Never about getting rich, but about ridiculous fun for the community.” – JT [29:03]

• [32:07] Redefining the Veteran Coffee Space:

  • Black Rifle’s original vision: make the working man—line workers, cops, military, blue-collar types—feel at home drinking specialty coffee, not shunned by the “hipster” crowd.
  • Quote: “The guy that stayed up all night restoring power... walks into that coffee shop and everyone turns their nose up at him... I want a coffee shop where it’s his home.” – JT (relaying Evan’s pitch) [32:47]

  • Brent presents statistics dismantling the myth of Israeli lobbying dominance, urging evidence-based analysis over conspiratorial groupthink.
  • Quote: “You’re telling me .05% of the funding and they run this country? If you believe that, you’re an idiot... I’m sorry you want it to be true, but it’s just not.” – Brent [117:28]

• [118:53] FBI Crime Data—What the Media Ignores:

  • Referencing a 13-year-old video (“Amidst the Noise”), JT and Brent highlight that violent crime halved in 20 years, yet no politicians talk about the real statistics because it doesn’t drive clicks or reinforce narratives.

---

I have a rebuttal to that.

[A]

Would love to hear it.

[B]

Obviously, Brent, you know me at this point, so you know that I will take things to incredible extremes for no reason at all times. And sometimes what I do is I throw out an idea, and if the idea isn't, like, received with excitement. It was a one word response. You went, okay. I was like, so, you know, after a while, I've been trained by my friends that says, hey, you're a little much sometimes. We need you to reel it back. You need to identify when you're a little much. So it was one of those times of. Ooh. Was the flight suit a little much?

[A]

No. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Magnet. He's. He tried. I don't know why. That's. That light up there isn't turning on, so I feel like it's a little dark right there, but I'll fix it

[A]

But, yeah, so that's. That's. But yeah, I'm. I'm not. I'm not running up and changing. I'm keeping my end of the deal even.

[B]

And I did want to wear the flight suit, because I did Want to start this off with, look, I am now committing stolen valor. I am openly pretending to be a fighter pilot.

[B]

You got it. I'm poured.

[A]

Oh, you're a gentleman. You're an absolute gentleman.

[B]

We're gonna go with a. For fur. We call this the golfer.

[A]

Oh, man. I just. I just went to. I just went to topgolf the other night. Let me tell you what's dangerous about topgolf. It makes me think that I can play golf because I can't. You give me enough tries because every. Every swing doesn't count. You give me enough tries, and I will get into a rhythm and I'll start crushing that ball. But get me on a golf course where every swing now is accounted for. Trash. Just absolute trash.

[B]

I just don't bother. And, you know, I catch. Obviously, you know, I catch a lot of heat from people that are like, you won't try golf? And it's like, dude, I don't need another hobby. And golf is one of those things that you have to do all the time right? And all. And you know what music like, I like music. I like playing the piano. I like playing the guitar. Like, I'll spend my time. I don't need to go out and around with golf. Dude. It's weird. I don't know.

[A]

I've never went and visited your house. You serenaded me on the piano, which was. Which is actually cool.

[B]

No.

[A]

Homo. Karaoke at the bar was an absolute blast. There was like six of us in there just taking turns on karaoke.

[B]

We set it up like that of

[A]

like, hey, there's nothing fun.

[B]

Let's build the. Our own world to where we can just act stupid. And then Jack Mandeville comes out and just does a full performance and gets

[A]

nude as a performer. Oh, I wish. I. That needs to be recorded and posted on the Internet.

[B]

I have quite a few recordings.

[A]

Okay. So maybe we could make a. That has to happen. You are a. A new resident of the gunshine state.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You're like, you're only like 30 minutes away from me now.

[B]

If. If. Depending on traffic.

[A]

Yes. Yeah.

[B]

Which is funny because it changes, like, within a five minute period. Like when I first was like, all right, I'm gonna head that way. It was like 58 minutes and, like three minutes went by. I'm like, I'm gonna head that way. It was like 41 minutes. Like, whoa.

[A]

I don't know why I. I don't remember. Maybe you remember why we started it. But my. My girlfriend Devin, she's. She's real big on, like, sharing locations with people close to her. And so she. She always knows where her mom is. She knows where her best friends are. She knows where I am. I know where she is. It's kind of fun, but I forget about it because I don't.

[B]

I don't. I don't need that. That's ending with nitro.

[A]

And for some reason, I. We started sharing location. And when you go to my share, like, who I share my location with, it's like three people, and. And. And you're one of them. And I don't know why we started that. And every now and again, I'll text you like, hey, where you at? And you're like, you have my location.

[B]

I got it.

[A]

He'll text me like, brit, you're, like, eight minutes away from me. I'm like, how do you know? Like, brit, I have your location.

[B]

I've got a great. And that's. That's the thing. I. I learned that from the Nitro Circus guys. Like, Pastrana is the one who started this for me of, like, just share the location with everybody. Like, and I never thought of it. I was like, fuck it. Why? Who cares? Exactly. But what he does, and this is hilarious, is he will constantly check up on his friends, on their locations, and if he finds you at a bar, okay, he will look up if there is a touchstone at the bar, and then he will put $80 into touchstones and play the song Sandstone over and over and over. So.

[A]

So. So, yes, if you start hearing Sandstone, you've back to back you've been playing.

[B]

Travis is now on to you.

[A]

I love that. I love that.

[B]

Love. So it's like, we need to start these games. Like, we have to bully Nate into sharing his location with us.

[A]

And then Nate.

[B]

Nate needs a good bully sometimes.

[A]

Yes, he going to do.

[B]

He's. He's on all that TRT that you gave him. So he's getting a little big. So we just got to. We're going to throw a trash can or two at him.

[A]

Oh, I love it. Yeah, Don't. Don't y' all tell Nate our blands.

[B]

No, don't tell his location.

[A]

We already.

[B]

We have a great plan for him for Christmas, but we're not going to

[A]

let that one leak.

[B]

We're not going to tell you guys what me and Brent are going to do in Oregon for Christmas against Nate.

[A]

That one. That one will be worth the wait. That will be worth the wait.

[B]

And I thought about it. We might be able to use AI for this and we might be able to get, like, 10 of our friends all at once. The more I. The more I thought about it, I was.

[A]

It's funny you say that. I just left. I was like, we could just AI that.

[B]

Yes, we can AI it. But that's the thing is we have to. Yeah, we can get accomplices.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

To help with it. Because that'll help. And then once we get accomplices, I think. I think the blitzkrieg. Whereas if you and I appear everywhere on the same day, I think that's really funny.

[A]

I can't. I can't wait. I have no patience. I'm not saying it with gifts. If I. If I have a badass gift, and I know you're gonna love it. It's the hardest thing to hold on to. It's the hardest thing to hold on to if I have a really good idea for a joke. And, like, we should do this for Christmas. It's so long so far.

[B]

No, but you know what? You have to have that long play once. I mean, I don't know if you know, like, well, I have to do that the best. Was your idea.

[A]

So I'm forced to do it.

[B]

The best joke that I played on Matt, like, so Matt, if you ever get mad on this show, he'll say, do not make a bet with Jared. Do not try, like, a prank war. Right. Is it because it gets scary? So what I did is Matt had made this video. And this is like, when Instagram was new and all, we. We didn't even have personal Instagrams back then. We just had Article 15 clothing's Instagram. And I would always pose with my face, like, stupid and with my mouth open, like, and. And so Matt made this, like, documentary style, like, infomercial that was like, open mouth syndrome. Like, can you donate to help us cure JT of open mouth syndrome? And all this and, like, you know, sad music. And he's walking in his suit, and he's like, every day, you know, he poses for a photo. And I was like, okay, dude, I got you. Yeah, I got you. So I called Phil labonte, lead singer of all that Remains, okay. And I had him make me a special video. And then I made a video and I combined those two videos. And what I did is I said that Matt was getting married to his current girlfriend at the time, and it was going to be an open wedding in Vegas headlined by all that Remains and it's free. And it was on July 7th. Like, I gave a date, everything. So Matt and I are fl Los Angeles. And we're taking off from El Paso. And. And as we're taking off, I loaded the video to Matt's Facebook page, which at the time had, like, 1.4 million followers.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And publish, because I was an admin on it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then when we got in the air, I immediately was like, oh, dude, don't get the Internet. It's. This is like 2013.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Plain Internet was still dicey then, right? I was like, hey, don't get the Internet. There's times.

[A]

It's still dicey now.

[B]

Slow.

[A]

It's better.

[B]

It's better. Sucks. He's like, all right, cool. And he just went to sleep. Well, when we landed, like, that was three and a half hours of that video being live at 800,000 views by the time we landed.

[A]

That's. That's hard to get. That's hard to get back.

[B]

Destroyed. I mean, the second that, like, he took off airplane mode. His phone is. It's his mom, his dad, his family.

[A]

You're getting married.

[B]

You're getting married. It's her. I didn't tell her I was doing it right. Yeah. Wait, we're getting married? Like, yeah.

[A]

Did you feel like it was too far when it was all said and done, or were you like, nope, that was exactly what I wanted.

[B]

No, that was.

[A]

That was okay.

[B]

Yeah, that's appropriate. Well, because also, too, Matt and I do have that relationship. He's not one of those guys that is like, hey, man, you really took it too far. He's more of like, right, you got me. And he also was like. And he goes, you know what? We're gonna keep it at that. I ain't retaliate.

[A]

That was. That was the next thing I was gonna say, depends. And then it's that escalation game. And that's where it can start to get out of. A little bit out of control. It depends on the person, obviously, but some. But someone's got to stop it.

[B]

Over the course of filming, range 15, you know, we're in LA for. Me and Matt were there for five weeks, but Evan shows up to film. And Evan's there for almost 20 days. So three weeks. And I was like, oh, Evan, they don't have enough hotel rooms. You got to share with me. And so, like, he's with me for, like, three weeks, right? And then he goes to leave,

[A]

like,

[B]

the day that he's. That he's leaving production. And he walks down, he hands the keys like, oh, here's my key for JT's room. And the person Behind. He goes, well, Evan, you never picked up your keys to your room. And he had an envelope. Evan's new. And he goes, wait, I had a room? Evan's like, I had a room.

[A]

I was like, yeah, I was just keeping this going. That's one of those subtle but really good jokes, dude.

[B]

I shared a room with Evan for 20. 20 days, right? For a joke.

[A]

For a joke. You kind of played yourself at the same time, but not. Not necessarily.

[B]

Because.

[A]

Because it's your joke. You. You know what you're signing up for, but you're. You're willing to. You're willing to step on your own dick a little bit for. For a good joke.

[B]

And also, Evan is. He respects. Like, Evan will play, like, six to ten month games with people. Like, he'll wait. He's very patient. You have to. You have to watch that one.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So again, as. As I, like, crested day four, I was like, oh, hell yeah, I got him now. Like, and then. This is gonna be epic.

[A]

How long. How long was he in your room for?

[B]

Like, 20 days.

[A]

For 20 days of it. Of the three of the three week stay.

[B]

Well, that.

[A]

That was.

[B]

He did the whole stay.

[A]

The whole stay.

[B]

And then it was when he was checking out. They were like, dude, you have a room and you never picked up your keys.

[A]

Paid for.

[B]

Yes, completely paid for from production.

[A]

I'll do. I do. I love a good joke. I. I miss team room antics. In fact, we'll do some super chats real quick when we get back to it. We want to talk about one of the best. It's long. I almost feel like pulling it up. But the joke you played on the 80 seconds. Oh, God. And the way you read. Anyway, hang on.

[B]

We'll get.

[A]

We'll get back to that one. Let's go to some super chats, Drew.

[C]

All right, we got just another 11. Bravo. He says, paying my late fee ahead of time. Thank you, brother. And back in, he says, revoking late fee and adding to beer money for the boys.

[B]

Nice guy.

[C]

Sonny Marbury says, I second the beer cash after Mr. 11B. Side note, being a little much is okay. My wife tells me to calm it down all the time. Love y' all, guys. Oh, this is TG Paris. Says Bert. How's the David Hackworth episode coming?

[A]

Oh, man, we got. We have four or five episodes in the hopper, and we're talking to almost 10 other really exciting guests. I'm super excited about who we all have coming on. I. The. I'll have to look to see if David Hackworth has, has committed. So I'll, I'll, I'll post that on Patreon.

[C]

Holy fook. He says, Brent, did you make, did you make any wild Sumatra civet coffee for Jared since he is a coffee expert? Has Jared tried it before? Outro Modern Day Cowboy by Tesla.

[A]

Oh, nice.

[C]

Five bucks.

[A]

You know he's talking about that civet coffee. I'm sure you may not know what it's called, but you've heard of coffee. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like lemur, whatever it is.

[B]

Yeah. But also too. I'm not the coffee expert.

[C]

He did put it in quotations.

[B]

Evan is a coffee expert. Yeah, I'm just here so. Yeah. To make sure you guys are entertained.

[A]

He, he sent us, he sent us that. He sent us some, some cigars from Hawaii since a bunch of, bunch of stuff. And it was, it was, it was awesome actually. It was, it was. I don't know if it was worth the price and I'm, and I'm really glad that's not, that's not a hit on Holy food. Thank you so much for. Otherwise I was never going to buy it myself. Yeah, well, you have to try it. Yeah, it's one of those things you have to try. And thanks to him we were, we were able to try it. It was really cool. And, and Six's mom just sent us a, a package and with a whole bunch of stuff I gotta, gotta give

[B]

you after the show.

[A]

Thank you, Six's mom.

[C]

And the final one for now, Dubs war room says long range shooting is just like golf, but for men, 100%.

[A]

Because honestly, the truth of that, that.

[B]

But again, like it comes down to this. You could be good at golf, but what are you good at? You know, if you're good at long range shooting, well, you're good at either having to take a long range shot against an enemy or a long range shot against food. Therefore, the time that you're putting into this skill equates to something that you could use to survive and keep yourself alive.

[A]

Yeah, agreed. Yeah, I agree. Actually. It's. At first it's, it's thought provoking and it's fun, but it's. There's just no, the, the biggest thing for me is, is time. I have no time.

[B]

And golf takes time.

[A]

So much time. Not just practice, but then the play, it is just so much time.

[B]

It's not. But still, if you were like, hey, but you know golf, we're going to get good at long range shooting. Well, now I feel like I'm double Like I'm, I'm, I'm gaining a skill. Right?

[A]

That is, you're getting entertained and you're getting.

[B]

I'm having fun gaining something that I can use to survive. Like, did I say this last time we were here where I was, I was like, I can't respect somebody that can't do one pull up because they can't save their own life.

[A]

No. But I couldn't agree with that because

[B]

that is the most basic thing. Like if you fall or you have to pull yourself up.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

Like that is the one time where you have to save your own life and you can't do it. Therefore to me, you are not a man.

[A]

That's so true.

[B]

Because you have no protective.

[A]

If you're ever dangling from a bridge, dangling from a dock, dangling from a balcony for whatever reason, every reason you. And it's really hard to pull someone up who can't pull themselves up. Yes. Yeah, you can't.

[B]

But no, you as a man should be able to just save your own life. Right. Because you pulling yourself up is just the first step because now you have a list of 80 other people that you're going to save. I think that's important how we're thinking

[A]

that's an important message to put out there actually, all in all actuality. And, and, and this is where I don't want to be gender specific. I don't think that message should only be received by men. I think that message should be received by women. Not that women need to be able to do a pull up, but they need to be able to assess their counterpart and be like, if you can't protect yourself from dying, then how are you ever going to protect me?

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

Yeah. That, that message, what did you, did you have something magnet or do we. Or did as a time pass?

[B]

No, it's just about the golf thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You don't have to be good at it, but to go out and have a good time and just play with a bunch of boys. You're smoking cigars and having a drink.

[A]

Well, you would say that. You look like you just came off.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Of a low level golf course yourself.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

You got off the green.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah. But imagine, but imagine if you're having a good time and gaining a skill that makes you wonder. I got enough skills. I'm sorry. But there are a lot of people that go through life that have none. Okay.

[C]

Some people can do both. They have enough time. Pick one.

[B]

I don't know. And those are the sheep.

[A]

There's in fact I wanna. I wanna pull up a video here in a second.

[B]

So the word vomit, though, and this. This happened the other day because I sat in the exit row.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And that, you know, now that they're like, hey, they need you. The verbal. Are you willing to. I was like, of course I am. I go, but I'm gonna pull this door off. And I'm hurling. I was like, because I'm gonna make your job harder because I'm. I'm saving more people than you. And the guy was like, wait, what? I was like, yeah, this door is coming to you. And they're like, whoa. I'm like, oh, fine.

[A]

We're not.

[B]

We're not having fun today. All right, all right, I'll turn it back. See the video? The death woman that got kicked off the plane.

[A]

The death.

[B]

Oh, oh, I thought you said death one.

[A]

I thought you said death.

[B]

Death. No, I did not see.

[A]

Yeah, well, she got kicked.

[B]

She couldn't hear what they were talking about, and they kicked her off the plane. Oh, dear. Oh, yeah. It was a huge video.

[A]

I think she's gonna get upgraded to her next flight. That is. That is unfortunate. This. This video resonates a little bit. And actually, it's actually going to go into. It coincides with. With black rifle, actually. And it's. And it's interesting. So let's. Let's watch this. And I think you'll immediately see how it actually correlates with. With you guys. And we'll talk to you about it.

[C]

So product.

[A]

It's a drink with caffeine in it. People use it to stay up and study.

[C]

Okay, okay, I got something. I got something. Give it to me. We get a human and we just fucking launch them with a cannon. Oh, how fast the bikes usually go down bumpy hills.

[B]

What do you mean?

[C]

Put some red bullshit on someone and send him down as fast as we can. I want the record. I want the record for fastest human downhill, bumpy hill on a bike.

[A]

Yeah, okay. I see where you're from more maybe

[C]

thinking maybe we aim some ads at

[A]

the people that are mostly drinking the Red Bull.

[C]

Strap a bloke to an air balloon and let him free fall at terminal velocities.

[A]

I think maybe we're straying from the actual use case of the drink.

[C]

Sen comes flying down the streets of Barcelona in rally cars.

[A]

See, that one's like. Sounds dangerous almost.

[C]

I want close calls. I want. We got to push this. This has to be fucking dangerous. Okay.

[A]

Yeah, all right. I see your vision. I do. I really do.

[C]

What's the fastest that cars go.

[A]

What's it with you?

[C]

When things going fast, what's the fastest car? Oh, F1 cars probably designate $150 million to whatever that is. Can we just run an ad of,

[A]

like, a uni student drinking Red Bull

[C]

for, like, an exam? Get a bloke, put him on a motorbike, make him drive off a cliff.

[A]

Is that even.

[C]

Can we do that? Put a bloke in a Red Bull jumpsuit and blow him up and they fly him off a cliff and we'll just see if it works.

[B]

It's so much better than he's Australian.

[A]

Link that to energy drinks for me, please.

[C]

Because we're extreme. People think of us, they think extreme. They're going to think of people absolutely

[A]

sending it with, like, actually no correlation

[C]

to the drink we sell. That's right. Red Bull means absolutely sending it off a cliff with little to no regard for how that ties into anything.

[A]

So that's my point, mate. Do people even drink energy drinks when they're doing crazy stuff?

[C]

No, mainly beers.

[A]

Okay, well, what are we.

[C]

What are we doing? Well, we don't sell beer.

[A]

That's a big thing.

[C]

That's not gonna be our focus. Our focus is getting cunts and absolutely rocketing them along a given surface or airspace to the fear and trepidation of their loved ones. Can we just sneak some other kind of advertising in there, please? Fine.

[B]

Thank you.

[C]

What do you think of getting a little dude. Getting someone to animate a little guy and he flies sometimes when he drinks.

[B]

What?

[C]

God, I'm good.

[A]

It's a drink.

[B]

That is it.

[A]

It's. It's so true. It's. It's one of those things that, you know, there's a lot of. It's funny because it's true. A lot of truth and comedy. And when you think about it, it's just normal to us now.

[C]

But we don't sell beers.

[A]

Marketing. If you'd have gone back and like, lifestyle brand marketing is kind of as a relatively new thing. Right. I mean, even though you go back and argue like Marlboro was kind of a. A lifestyle brand and their cigarettes, but they at least always had their. Their cigarette. Like in the ad. It was always kind of correlated. Yeah, we have.

[B]

But we think, think. I think skateboarding definitely was a good lifestyle study. If you think stucy. No fear. Those were lifestyle brands and that was before viral content. So it was almost word of mouth

[A]

still connected it to skateboarding. Yeah. If you, If. If you think about. We're just used to it because it's so normal. What Red Bull markets and advertise has nothing to do with their product.

[B]

No.

[A]

Yet. We're so conditioned now to it. You're like, yeah, of course. Of course there would Red Bull airplane

[B]

story, skateboard drop in ramp right now. Why did you need that? Okay. But they.

[A]

But they went with, you know, the. The lifestyle marketing.

[B]

And.

[A]

And it's worked. And I would say, to a degree, you guys have. Have done the same thing. And, And. And at a very successful rate.

[B]

Entertain first. Yeah, that was. I mean, we followed. We followed their suite like, like, hey, entertain first. Like, and. But that was. The thing is, like, we never,

[A]

not

[B]

a single one of us, Matt or Evan, never, like, had that, oh, I want to be successful in business. Right. Like, it was. It was like Evan's first conversation with me on the phone was like, dude, how do we.

[A]

And.

[B]

And this is a year before coffee was even a conversation. He goes, how do we make enough money to. Where we could hire engineers to build a contraption that. That launches Priuses into the air and we shoot them out of the air with tanks. And he goes, and we use tanks for skeet shooting with Priuses. That was my first conversation that I ever had with Evan Haver.

[A]

Yeah. And it wasn't, how much money can we make? So I can have a big house. No, I can drive a big car,

[B]

launch a Prius in the air and shoot. Shoot it out of the air with a fucking tank.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That's hilarious.

[A]

Although that's hilarious. And it is. It really goes back to. It's. It's in a fun. It's. It's the funnest thing I've ever heard of a way of reinvesting back in your company, but it was really about reinvesting back. Back into the company. And you get rewarded for that if you do it right.

[B]

There was no shit. And this is prior to going public, there was a board meeting where we were actually discussing buying an AC130 to convert into a coffee shop. I just want to say, like, this was a real meeting with, like, people in suits going, okay, say this again. Me and Matt, or ever go, no, seriously, check this out.

[A]

Is that still on the table? Yes, yes.

[B]

We just have to file certain things with the fec, sec, whatever it is.

[A]

The. Like a grounded one, or did you

[C]

want it to fly or do you want to know?

[B]

We wanted to fly. It's gonna go to air shows, so.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because it's like. It's like it goes to air. If we had A fully wrapped. Because we were Gonna buy a C130, most likely from a Central or South American country. We were gonna wrap it and we were going to convert it to be an AC130. So we're gonna put guns in it, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And then we were gonna put a coffee shop in it. And then, hey, it goes to every air show.

[C]

I can see it landing now. Yeah, we're a vendor. You want to park us between some of those tents over there?

[B]

Yeah, no, no, no. We're. We're in the vending. We're in the vending.

[C]

We're a vendor.

[A]

It's a mini gun that shoots K cups. You do a low pass, just spray everyone. Yeah, I love it though. I. I do. Because you guys just, you're. You're not, you're outside the box. You know, you're. You're not like from, from the get go. And this, and this, this is truly what. What I like about you guys. If you think about the premise of black rifle, from the get go, coffee was given to a certain type of American as a company. It was, it was given to the hippie crowd, it was given to, to, to the left, whatever, the beta males, whatever you want to. Even though it's as crazy as it sounds, like people who were really interested in coffee were always that crowd. Yet coffee's been fueling blue collared Americans.

[B]

Fueling. And this was Evan's pitch. When Evan first started telling me about this, like, that's what he said. He said, he said, look, every coffee shop, you've got some dickhead wearing a fucking beret and they're writing poetry and shit. He goes, he goes, but the guy that stayed up all night restoring power to a portion of the fucking county. Exactly. Walks into that coffee shop in a. In a reflective vest and a hard hat and dirty boots. And he goes, everybody in that shop turns their nose up at him. He goes, I want a coffee shop right where it's his home.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And that was like the light bulb

[A]

of like everyone who makes Country Run drinks coffee from the military.

[B]

Military line workers, like, like farmers, like everybody.

[A]

And most of them don't drink double mocha black frappes. Yeah, yeah, they just, they're just coffee drinkers.

[B]

Which yesterday I was forced upon coffee.

[A]

I love this story. I was, I was at the, I was at Colette's race shop yesterday hanging out with. With JT and she walks in and JT's like, hey, we got any coffee? So yeah, I can make you some coffee. And then she Starts whipping the. The milk, and you're like, you don't need to do that. Like, we'll just drink it black, good on the milk.

[B]

Don't embarrass me in front of Brent.

[A]

Go back and just hang it out. I thought it was kind of done. And then she heard you, but just. Just like, no.

[B]

And.

[A]

And she. She pours it in, like. But her justification was, yeah, I heard you, but I just gave you a little bit because I heard. I heard you didn't want any, so I only gave you a little bit.

[B]

You didn't want any, but you're gonna have it. Yes, ma'. Am.

[A]

What? What? I guess what happened to no means no. We were. We were. You were four. We were forced.

[B]

Forced to have milk in our coffee. None of you guys know anything about. Like, you heard nothing. That story was false. That's fake news. Me nor Brent had milk in our coffee yesterday.

[A]

Whipped milk.

[B]

Whipped milk with foam. And I saw her put flavoring in that.

[A]

She put lavender. Two puffs, two pumps.

[B]

She's bamboozled us. Did you drink it?

[A]

Yeah, I drank it. I was. I. I'll tell you. I. I need to go on some sort of detox. I. I do. I think I've ruined my system. And if I don't have several cups of coffee, several cans of monsters, if I've conditioned my system to work off of about 500, you become milligrams of coffee.

[B]

Evan. Evan has to have, like, 80 cups

[A]

of coffee a day, and I hate it. And. And. And it's even. It's even to a point where I was driving home from a bourbon meeting, and I was really tired, so I stopped, and I got a white monster at a gas station. And I think it made me more tired. Had no effect on me. I think it made me more tired. I'm like, what is going on?

[B]

Have you been drinking white monsters?

[A]

Oh, it's an issue. It's for me, too. At least a decade. Yeah.

[B]

I was.

[A]

All right. I tell you. I'll tell you a funny story.

[B]

So. Or.

[A]

Or in Syria, and the law guys are like, hey, you guys need anything? And I was like, yeah. And they. They. Everyone knows I have a white monster addiction fetish. And they're like, we.

[B]

I call it a fetish.

[A]

We already know. We got. There's. There's a tough box on the. On the next 22 coming your way. And so I thought they were just gonna give me a few, and I was gonna have to ration them out for, like, celebration months. Celebratory monsters and the. The loadies are unloading the. The CV22 and like, four guys have to move this. This tough box. And they're coming like, whose tough box is this? And I'm like, I. We don't know. And they're like, brent, your tough box is here. Like, what'd you order? I forgot that we had. That we had had this conversation. And so I open it and it's one of those big tough boxes full to the brim of white monsters. And the top just goes for Brent only.

[B]

You can't argue with that.

[A]

Yeah. And I put that in my room and I had hundreds of white monsters and that. Which lasted me several weeks.

[B]

Several weeks.

[A]

And all the minions had to drink rivets.

[B]

Similar story. When you're a conventional jtac, you work in teams of two. You have an assistant. Okay, so you have squire, if you will. A squire?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, it's somebody that is training. You know, we. In the beginning, we. I feel like we did the job correctly in the aspect of we made you have experience. Before you were allowed to apply to the upper. You had to go get real. You know, kind of like before 18x ray existed, you got to be an E5 before you apply to go to the Q course.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Like, same thing like you. You cannot apply to be a soft JTAC unless you have multiple combat tours. Right. As a jtac. And then to even get to a jtac, you have the assistant tour as well. So I have an E4 assistant with me. And. And he was phenomenal. Great guy. Ended up doing a lot of training out for the seals for a long time after he got out. But we were. We were at this combat outpost and we. We didn't have food. They couldn't get shit. They couldn't get shit to us because IDs were so bad in 07. And this is in the middle of oh 7. Yeah. And we were on the. We were 800 yards from the corner of Grizzlies and Golds. Gold. So the border of solder. Yep, 800 yards. Finally, after a few months, were issued two MREs a day for two months, like. And you had to. You had to check your MREs out from Armed guards because people would steal them and you wouldn't have enough food and shit like that. They get a log pack out to us, which is, you know, all the, like, food and shit like that. So they. They put a call out to Everybody that anybody E4 and below, take your tops off and form Hands Across America. So they can transfer all this food up into the guarded area, right? Okay, So I. I walk in or I walk to Cody. I was like, cody, take your top off. Because we're in acu, too, so we're wearing the same thing the army guys are. I take my top off, and I was like, take your top off and get in the line. I go, look at me. When you have something good. And so. So how it's going is you have all the E4s, and below are Hands Across America up these stairs, handing box after box. And then E5 and above are just standing with their hands on their hips, making sure that everybody just tosses them to the right and everything like that. Well, he turns his head at me once he gets this box, and I go, oh, don't even start, Private. And all the E5s and E6s are like, yeah, get him. Get him. And I run up on him and I. Poking him in the chest, and I'm backing him up while he has the box, and I'm like, you gotta be kidding me. And I back him around the corner

[A]

out of everybody's sight, and I'm like, run.

[B]

And we run back to our area, and we shove the box under our cot. It was Otis Spunkmeyer Banana Nut Muffin. And we ate 10 of those a day for, like, two months, man.

[A]

People don't. They don't. Don't understand how. How. How important, how savage. It gets just. It's just.

[B]

I love to, like, it gets real. They started yelling. Everybody was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, get him. They had no clue.

[A]

Why is that? What is that? Were you with the 82nd? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. They. They love that. The. Oh, man, it's so. Oh, it's so long. But it's so good. I didn't even know this existed until you showed me this video. So he does. One of. One of my favorite history episodes is Drunken History. I mean, it's. It's. It's amazing. And if you guys. Everyone should know about it. But it's basically drunk historians getting hammered and then telling the story, and then actors basically reenact it, but using that. The drunk person's voice. And it just gets better and better. And you guys did something. That's what it kind of reminds me of.

[B]

Well, so that's what it was.

[A]

It was based off of.

[B]

That was a vet TV production that bought that from Eli Cuevas out of Unsubscribe Podcast. So Eli was the one that came up with that. It's called Drunken Debrief.

[A]

That's right.

[B]

And no, though, like, when we filmed that. We filmed that in 2014, probably 2013 or 14.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He got me faced. Like, I was. I was, too.

[A]

While he's talking, see if you can pull that up in. In YouTube. What's it. What's it called?

[B]

You could just say drunken vet. TV drunken debrief.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

On YouTube. And you'll. You'll see it. But, like, I was hammered. And, I mean, you could tell because I forget. Like, I forget the acronym ecp. I'm like, he went up to the. I don't know. I'm in the Air Force.

[A]

Oh, that's another good one. The call sign is a great one.

[B]

White Falcon X ray.

[A]

Oh. See what else? Keep going down, Jared. Oh, that's part one, but it's only. Sure. It's only like three minutes. Let's. Let's. Let's get on this. Will that work?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I want everybody to know, though, this kid that's holding or they can't see that. Yeah. All right, I'm gonna. I'll explain. Okay.

[A]

All right. All right. Make sure.

[C]

Get this thing to work.

[A]

Sure.

[C]

Okay. Looks like it's working.

[A]

Trolling humans.

[B]

Cheers.

[A]

Hey.

[B]

Cheers. Cheers. I'm. I'm jared taylor. I'm in the air force, and this is trolling humans. I am in jtac, so always in my entire career in the military, which is at this point, over 13 years, I've always been the outcast. I've always been the one that came in late to a battalion or a company. So you're always that guy that just comes in from the outside. And in 2007, I was deployed with the 2nd and 3, 2, 5, the White Falcons. I'm proud of that deployment because I deployed with the 82nd Airborne, and I got that. It's a lot of whiskey in that cup. Naturally, kicking that deployment off, my hair was fucking long, as the Air Force guys always are. I mean, just keep adding inches to that. Like, Air Force. It was at 4 inches, and then Christmas leave at 2, so it was at 6. And then we deployed, and I hid it under a black beanie until March. So it was at, like, 10. At that point, I could literally pull it to my mouth, and I loved it.

[A]

See me all the time.

[B]

Hey, Air Force. One day I'm gonna make you take off that baby.

[A]

I'm gonna see how long that hair.

[B]

I was like, it's March, and the beauty isn't off yet, so we'll see how that goes. But it was Iraq, so it got

[A]

Anyways, I'm in the battalion.

[B]

I'm the battalion jtac. I'm the only one there. We're at a combat outpost called combat outpost callahan. We were always doing some cool, but that didn't stop me from having my jtac want to with everyone in the battalion. So this started out one day where I had talked a private into letting me photograph him. That private, okay, is Dan Holloway. I have the photo photograph of this private holding a 2x4 with nails sticking out of it. Day where I had talked a private into letting me photograph him with a russian hat.

[A]

Keep going.

[B]

No, no, I'll find. I'm going to find you the original on this deployment.

[A]

Okay, now there we go.

[B]

[A]

And if everyone doesn't know Dan holloway is is with drinking bros now. So. What a small world.

[B]

What a small original poster. My favorite stories of the white falcon, which was called fox company. It was comprised of cooks and vehicle mechanics and support People. I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't. I'm in the Air Force. I don't know what they did, but

[A]

they love how hammered you are.

[B]

They were in charge of our security. They guarded everything around the cop. At this specific week, I remember sitting in the talk, our building, and I mean, this is not a large building. Got hit with an RPG. And the S3 stands up at his desk like. And you hear the 240s on every piece of the roof start going off. So, like explosion 240. And the S3 is looking at the radio that literally is just connected to all of our guards just staring at it. All right, all these explosions, everything. He's looking at this radio and everyone is talked. Looking at the S3. Like. Then he finally goes, grabs the radio, goes, roof guards, are we under attack? Comes over the radio. Roger, sir, what were you gonna tell us? Even though, like, things are in chaos,

[A]

like there's war going on outside, the

[B]

boys in the talk are just like, oh, my God, what's going on up there? Oh. So another day goes by and we have a CI, A Confidential interior. I don't even know what CI Means. Informant. We had a confidential informant come in there.

[A]

You got it.

[B]

Truck right outside the ep, The. The epg, the ecp, you guys. Anyway, so they've been talking to this guy for hours. All right, There's a shift change with Fox Company. Like, they change shifts and they sat for like three hours guarding the ecp and then at the three hour mark,

[A]

for whatever reason, hit the next one. I'm invested in this as I'm coming back here.

[B]

Yeah, well, you're missing the part where they shoot at the park car. I look at this, regulators, and I was like. And I grab it and the end

[A]

of the last one, it started to. To.

[B]

To cut it off.

[A]

Oh, they're cutting it off.

[B]

Grabs the radio, goes, all right, for a reason. They start shooting at this park car

[A]

that's been there for four hours. They start shooting at a park car for, like four hours.

[B]

I've been parked there for four hours.

[A]

All right, that was. Who the did this. We all get pulled in the hallway, all of us.

[B]

Yeah. He finally goes, grabs the radio.

[A]

Let's see if we could. See if we can. We might have lost it. It was up there, but doesn't look like it's. It's up there. Anyway.

[B]

What.

[A]

You guys, you guys. You guys could actually please go watch the rest of those. We can. We can talk the rest through.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

What? So if, if you guys don't know, but everyone who's deployed knows there is something called a F.O.B. mayor. Mayor. And his job is just to make sure that the fob. The Ford Observation.

[B]

Well, it's your, it's your, it's your, your support company. First Sergeant is the FOB Mayor, correct?

[A]

It's.

[B]

Look at Dan. Yeah, that is the original picture.

[A]

See if you can get it right there. The, the, the. It's. It's the wide one. So it's a smaller camera right there, but post it right up there.

[B]

Yeah, I'm just gonna make sure this still.

[A]

You're good. Get right up there. Show, show a picture of old Dan Holloway. There he is. There it is. Oh, it just went black. We could. So I got it. So the FOB Mayor. Just make sure that, that the camp runs. It's a very mundane position, but it's an important position. Like the, the. The FOB has to be, has to be run efficiently. Well, I don't know why it's called FOB Mayor. It just is. And I never really thought about it this way. And this is how weird your brain works, but it's a beautiful weirdness. Well, if it's a mayor. Well, here in America, if you have a mayor, how do you become mayor?

[B]

We run elections.

[A]

You run elections. Take over the story. Take over the story.

[B]

So yes, because I'm sitting in talk all day, which in the talk you have the special staff like, like and we have printers and stuff in our shitty comp that we're in. And I get bored. Even though, I mean we were doing constantly out there, but still, like if there was like a small gap, I'm like, I need to photoshop something. So we, yes, I take the photo of Dan Holloway wearing. I had packed a Russian hat that my dad got from Moscow. I don't know why I brought that with me to Iraq, but I, you know, apparently I found a use for it and that's why. And I gave him a two by four full of a bunch of nails and I took the photo. And his campaign slogan was my liability coverage is zero. My balls, however, are enormous. Vote for Dan Holloway FA mayor. We printed out 65 of these and we had four floors that we lived on at Cop Callahan. So we hung them everywhere. And then the next morning the Fox Company, like First Sergeant was this tiny man. Yeah, he's very Braille.

[A]

Very. He was a small man.

[B]

I know. Hopefully he's like, what the. I'm not that Braille. He probably is like like big and burly. I just remember him as being a tiny insignificant, like they played him very well.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

But he comes running into the talk and smashes down all 60 of these posters and he's yelling at no one but everybody in the talk. Which was funny.

[A]

Everyone's getting it.

[B]

Typical of an army E8.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like cuz I, I, I saw this in the core Joint Operations center, the place that runs the entire theater of the Iraq War in 2005. I was in there where General Vines and General Petraeus and a bunch of other generals are sitting there. And at two o' clock in the morning the jock sergeant major stood up and he goes I need someone to get me the phone number to the Navy. Not kidding. That is a quote from a fucking sergeant major in the army. And then one of the lawyers cuz

[A]

in front of me is like all 1-800-go Navy.

[B]

I think that'll do it is like is sits in front of me and is a captain. He goes sergeant Major, who from the Navy would you like to talk to? And I immediately go into hey Navy. Ah, you need battleships. Hang on, let me put you through. And so I was told to shut up.

[A]

Being being the Air Force guy side of the army is always a softball because you can never really yell or like really, I mean you, of course you could. You'd have to really screw up though for them to really put the screws to you.

[B]

But you can play so stupid.

[A]

Exactly.

[B]

So stupid.

[A]

Yeah. If you play your cards right you

[B]

can get away with I would not wear my hat walking to the Alpha Fall palace every day until someone yelled at me. Right. And then I would come up with something different to say every time. And then yeah. A Marine sergeant major was like what the is, where's your hat? I go sergeant Major. I was drying my hair and like it almost was like control all it's like Windows 95 moment. Like he locked up. He was, he is so used to every Marine snapping to, to like, like parade rest and, and, and having fear. And when I flicked my hair like Troy McClure from the Simpsons.

[A]

What a reference.

[B]

Hi, I'm Troy McGlure.

[C]

I remember that.

[A]

The irony of all this. And of course like you know to finish out that story, you had the don the Dan Holloway PO posters up, you know, vote for for FOB Mayor. And the first AR is like I'm FOB Mayor. You don't vote for FOB Mayor.

[B]

He's yelling in the talk. And like and why I brought up this whole sergeant major standing up Going I need the number of the Navy. Because high ranking individuals in the army, in the infantry sometimes don't have a lot of sense. I know quite a few that are great. I love them to death. Some of them are out of it. And he smashed those down. And again, he's yelling to no one. But everyone one in the talk because the battalion commander sitting right there. The S3 sitting right there.

[A]

Right.

[B]

The Command Sergeant Major of the Battalion is sitting right there. And here is the Fox Company first sergeant having a conniption fit.

[A]

Right. This meltdown is rated E for everyone.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And he.

[B]

The mayor is not a elected position.

[A]

So insane. It's so insane. He took that so serious. If you guys want go watch the. The rest of that episode. Of. Of course, no one would ever suspect that it's the Air Force attachment doing this.

[B]

And they never knew.

[A]

And they never knew. He.

[B]

I mean they.

[A]

At.

[B]

At the time, like after I did the, the second run. Because once the Fox Company, like our, our guard shot that park car.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

There was in. Maybe you remember this, but back in 2003, 2004, 2005, there was a big billboard in Fayetteville that said, sleep well tonight. The 82nd Airborne is on point.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

And it had a guy on one knee with a 203 with another dude high ready over the top.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

All right. So I took a photo of me with the magazine in my rifle, probably actually loaded. Thinking about it at the time now and then. Just was looking down the barrel of my gun.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like confused. And I. I remade that billboard that said sleep well tonight. The first Fox Company support company is guarding our roofs after they had gotten

[A]

to a firefight with a parked car park car.

[B]

And that was also after like, we took like 80 RPGs and the S3 had to go, hey, are we under attack?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And they were like, oh, yeah, we are. Like. So I was like, hey, sleep well tonight. Like, they're. They're guarding us up top.

[A]

And they took that. And they took, they took that serious. They were going around.

[B]

They were very.

[A]

Putting those, those, those first sergeants flyers next to everyone. His face.

[B]

He assigned two corporals. I think this is what a corporal's for.

[A]

No one knows.

[B]

Yeah. He assigned two corporals. They had the poster like printed that because I'd printed like 70 of them and hung them everywhere.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And, and for two days they pulled everybody aside and these two corporals compared the photo and the person and they're like, ah, no, no, that's not them. But they never pulled me because they're like, oh, he's Air Force. We're not pulling him. My jawline looks very similar to what that picture is.

[A]

I was a corporal. The corporal. The army is one of the most useless and confusing positions for everyone. So I was in the Q course as a corporal, and they. They had this. During the echo course, we. The All American Week was. Was happening. And they were. And they were. And everyone is involved in cleaning up the. The base and. And making it beautiful for All American painting the ground. And All American Week is awesome, actually. They. They do some really cool stuff in All American Week. And they sw. Had done a. Or the. The echo course were like, hey, well, we have certain jobs. We'll have the NCOs do that. Because you're still NCOs. We'll give you better jobs. And the lower enlisted, go do these jobs. And so they're like, hey, break up in two groups. NCOs and lower enlisted. And I'm a corporal. So I go to the NCOs, and they're like, what are you doing here? I'm like, well, I'm. I'm a corporal. They're like, you're an nco, but you're not. Go to low enlisted. So I go over there to the lower enlisted, and they're like, what are you doing here? You're a corporal. You're an nco. Go. Go to the Institute. And so rather go back to the NCoS. I decided, well, nobody wants me. I will do nothing.

[B]

I will go to the shop. Right?

[A]

That's what you should have done. And I did.

[B]

You know what happens as a corporal in the army? You hear a lot of, yes, corporal. That's it. That's all it is. It's private first classes going, yes, corporal.

[A]

It's that there's no real use for a corporal at the army. What. What it really is, it's a lateral promotion to shut up specialists and be like, hey, we're not going to promote the sergeant, but we'll give you something to shut up.

[B]

I had a pretty awesome infantry dude I knew back in the third of the 504th. And they name the same first name, Jared Colvig. Corporal Kovic. And he was shot through the forearm. And, oh, no, but he was with. I had known him for a while, and then he had ended up deploying with friends of mine, and they were like, dude, you know Covid? He was like, yeah, dude. Homeboy got shot in a firefight. We just walked over. He was like, they're like, hey, what's up? He's like I was shot. That's pretty cool.

[A]

I tell you. It's in my career there's, there's. There's two things that, that of getting shot that, that are both, that are both true. It's. It's one just as bad as the. As the movies make it look like. I've seen guys get shot and like, almost like blown out of turrets, you know, because they, because they took around. You know, I've seen guys in absolute agonizing pain from, from getting shot and I've also seen guys that got shot and didn't even know it or didn't even care. It was just. And. And they'd be similar shots. Obviously they're not the same. But it's, it's just crazy how just a little bit to the left and it's a little bit and it's like, yeah, I got shot a little bit to the right and it's the worst experience you ever had in your life.

[B]

I mean, yeah, it's. And how the bullet pounces inside there like you could. It could really wreck some stuff. Stuff that's not fun.

[A]

The. Drew. Let's.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

In fact, it's 903. Let's, let's, let's. Let's take a break and hear a word from our sponsors. I got a couple more videos I want to show Jared. Roger that. We are more than makers of steel.

[B]

We are brothers in craft, bound by purpose and forged in pride. Every blade we shape carries the weight of the hands that built it and the hearts that will wield it. Brotherhood Blade stands for those who refuse to quit. The protectors, the workers, the doers. We forge with integrity. We carry with pride.

[A]

And we stand shoulder to shoulder with

[B]

those who live by the same code. Brotherhood Blades forged in freedom, carried with honor.

[A]

If you've ever been to any of my tactical training classes, then you know how adamant I am about the use of white light and the importance of a quality high powered tactical light. That's why I use cloud defensive tac lights. You can't hit what you can't see and neither can the bad guys. Clearly identify your target and simultaneously overwhelm his vision with hundreds and even thousands of lumens. Get serious about defending yourself and your family. Go to clouddefensive.com and use promo code tier one to get 30% off your order. That's right, 30%. You won't find a better light than this. And you won't find a better deal than this.

[B]

Revenge is an act of passion. Vengeance is an act of justice. Injuries are revenged. Crimes are avenged. Almost a century ago, big pharmaceutical companies Reed engineered medical school curriculum and faculty with one goal. Putting profit before progress. Anyone pushing back against the medical matrix they carefully crafted was threatened, silenced, censored, financially ruined, or worse. They are the problem. We are the solution.

[A]

Alpha, you're clear to engage with weapons. You're clear to engage with weapons.

[B]

Roger. Pepper out. See how far away easy is.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Oh, no, I'm by myself. Whatever am I gonna do?

[C]

Sing the Star Spangled Banner?

[B]

Oh, no, no. See, yeah, I've sang it for nascar.

[A]

The. Yeah. In fact, most. Most people may not know you're part of a band. You're a lead singer of a band.

[B]

I am. They. I mean, they allowed me that.

[A]

And then. And. And you're good.

[B]

Well, thank you.

[A]

You've sent me some of your. Some of your songs and everything. You guys did a badass remake of. Of Danger Zone. Yeah, you got.

[B]

I mean, I. I would like to say that. I would say one of my proudest ones for that is the Blood on the Risers.

[A]

Blood on the Risers. Just because the name of the band is this Saturday. This Saturday.

[B]

So I'll tell you the funny story behind that is our drummer is he owns his own business that does SEO and. And social advertising.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Very good at it. Knows how to, you know, build comprehensive campaigns and meta and everything like that. So he's like, well, if our band is called this Saturday, think of how many people were accidentally tag us on Instagram and you know how much that happens.

[A]

That's brilliant. Just subtle. Brilliant.

[B]

This Saturday. Yeah, it's like we're tagged in Monster Jam, you know, this Saturday. This Saturday.

[A]

Saturday. You guys can hit the road again anytime soon. You live here in Florida. I think you're talking about doing some. Some floor.

[B]

Yes. So we have a new album coming out end of May. It sounds like I was just on the phone with him on the way here. So we have. All of our albums are named after drinks. So the first album was Six Pack, then six pack of bottles, Meat.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

And then mixed Drinks. And now we're going to go back to. I don't know what the next one. I think it's another six pack of bottles or something.

[A]

Yeah, perfect. I love that. And, and I'm serious. I can't wait for you guys to. To go on tour again because we're. We're going to bring. We're going to bring. We're going to make it a tier one podcast event when you.

[B]

And that's what, what's going to happen is we have this, this new album. We finally like organized and like remembered what key we sing it. Because some of these I can sing one time, but then it ruins my voice too high. So like with this, all these new songs that are coming out, we. We were really deliberate with it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And I can sing them all day long. So we're doing this whole new set that's getting built and then once we're doing that, we just want to like circle around Florida. We just want Florida to be our spot because all of them live in Pensacola, so they're all Florida boys. So it's like it. Why don't we just hang out here and like.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Have fun.

[A]

Heck yeah. Not. Not a bad. Not a bad.

[B]

And we dance in genres, so we do blink style pop, punk, all the way to like hard metal. Like, because these guys wear a metal band.

[A]

You gonna show up in a flight suit to perform? I should. Don't, don't, don't. You don't do that to me again.

[C]

It wasn't a big enough response.

[B]

We're on the cusp of like, you know, I'm. I'm writing a book. I know. Very Navy SEAL of me. Right,

[A]

I see, I see you did work with the seals and it rubbed off on you.

[B]

But to be fair, I'm writing a. I'm writing 10 books actually. We don't one up them me being a fighter pilot. So I would like to just. Yes, you. You read my mind.

[A]

Go ahead.

[B]

Oh,

[A]

waiver on that.

[B]

So in the early years of being attack pay.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

We did not have. We did not have officers until 2009.

[A]

Lucky. I mean, I mean.

[B]

Okay, well, yes, you say that lucky, but here's why it's not lucky.

[A]

They do. They are a necessary evil is what

[B]

we had is rented fighter pilots.

[A]

Oh, so right. Because you're gonna have officers.

[B]

So you might. Here's.

[A]

You might as well grow them from the inside.

[B]

A fighter pilot isn't in charge of. And this isn't me talking about pilots. This is me talking about pilots. You guys don't know how to lead anything. And I just. And, and that is like, hey, you can fly your plane great. But you have no business being in a room with 14 borderline that are just really strong and want to kill everything. Yeah. So you should have never been in charge of us.

[A]

For sure. I agree.

[B]

So yes, I was an instructor in 2009 when we started the program where tech piece got like baby officers. Meaning from a second lieutenant.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

You.

[A]

This can grow you.

[B]

You own, you own this career field. You own these people. You know everything about it. And, and that could have not have come sooner for us because it has done so many great things for us. And the guys now all those guys are zero sixes.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And holy shit. They have transformed Air Force special warfare for the better. Night and day, over and over and over again. So for me now I'm gonna write this 10 book fiction series of me as a fighter pilot because I am getting back at all the fighter pilots that were shitty officers for me. And I'm going to profit off of your profession. For your experience I just fantasize about. And I'm going to laugh the entire time that I do it.

[A]

Now if, if we just. Let's, let's skim over this real quick because I do want to talk about it, but there's some other things I want to cover. It is a very cool concept. It's basically a. A J sock section that gets. That gets parsed out as basically a tier one naval asset. And. And there's a video game tied to it. I'll let you run with it.

[B]

Okay. So part of this concept is what I call like where you, you know, this. We sit and we daydream the what ifs all day long of like, what if people weren't in the way? What if all this bureaucracy and all this weird shit that they make us sit through, like what if.

[A]

What if you loose? Yeah.

[B]

What if you just. What if you just listen to us and just let us do it?

[A]

What if you just gave us an end state and said you tell us

[B]

how to get and that is how the series was born. It was me on an airplane going, man, what if they just let. If the Pentagon just let me loose? Like, what would I do first? And I'm sitting there thinking, I go, I would pull a carrier air wing under jsoc and they would have nothing to do with the air. The Navy, I love. And they would be. They would be. They would be fast, they would be light. I would go, one third the aircraft, one third the crew, twice the reactors. The fucking ship can do 80 nautical or 80 knots fucking forward speed. Like, this thing can get anywhere. Yeah. In three days. Like. And, oh, by the way. And. And, hey, I'm gonna put bigger engines on A10s with tail hooks, and we're gonna launch A10s from an aircraft carrier.

[A]

Love it.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I actually don't know why we don't have that type of niche capability under jsoc.

[B]

It would.

[A]

It would.

[B]

You know why? It was because we may have creativity. We really need positions. Because, honestly, why nobody in the 1980s says. Said, why are A10s not on an aircraft carrier? That was a grave mistake of ours.

[C]

Give me the number for the Navy.

[B]

Yeah, exactly. Give me the number for the Navy.

[A]

Oh, before I forget, Jared, this is from Brotherhood Blades. Whoa. They wanted to make sure that. That you had a knife of theirs. And I make the same joke every time, but it's true every time, which is no one, as you can see. That's a. That's a partial of. Of my knife collection. But every time someone gives me a knife, I love it, dude. I've never been given a cool knife and been like, oh, I have enough.

[B]

No, no, no, no, no. These. These are collector's items. Like, I have a whole. I have a whole thing in my bedroom in Texas, like, where I. Where I put all of these. So. Brotherhood Blades and thank you so much.

[A]

And that's one of my favorite ones because of the. The hook they have here. That's. You're. You've already done. It's. It's like. What do they call? It's like a fidget spinner. To me. It's like an adult fidget. I just sit there and I twirl my finger. Yeah, yeah. And there's. Those guys are great. They're absolutely great. They were like, hey, make sure. In fact, they sent me that one. Like, make sure Jared gets this.

[B]

Oh, I'm going to take wild pictures tomorrow. They're going to be like, can you not post that anymore?

[A]

They're the nicest guys in the world. Like they, they, they. They really are.

[B]

Where did you get John Pork

[A]

just hit up just a few super chats real quick before we, we go back to the videos.

[C]

All right, we got Jason Smith says, Bart, what role did you think SOF is playing in Iran currently? They got to be over there in some capacity, right,

[B]

Bart?

[A]

I, I've. They. They love screwing up my name and nothing keeps me.

[B]

I think Jameson started that, by the way.

[A]

Nothing, nothing keeps me more. Nothing keeps me more grounded and humbled than no one ever getting my name right. And so, so, so never stop doing it.

[C]

Bert Trucker.

[A]

I hope that, that we don't. I'm afraid that we will, but I hope we don't. There's just no reason to put ground troops in there. I, I did read an article that the Iraqi occurred actually mobilizing and it looks like we might send them in, but there's just no reason. There's no reason to do this like they are. They are at their knees. In fact, I saw another article just before we came on, like just a couple hours ago that Iran, who was in negotiations with the Trump administration before this happened, this happened because they wouldn't. They wouldn't negotiate. And now it looks as if they're like, you know what, maybe we should go back to the, to the negotia, the negotiating table. Yeah, there's, there's no, there's no reason to put in ground troops. Just bomb the ever living crap out of them until they bend the knee. Yeah, let's, let's not. There's, there's no reason to do that.

[C]

Right wing nut says, Jared Kyle Rittenhouse said, thanks for the T shirt.

[B]

I've got a good one for that, though. I mean, it's disingenuous.

[A]

You think, you think so?

[B]

It's, it's disingenuous because the person that bought the shirt for Kyle that day, okay, put his coupon code on the post of the photo, which caused us to say, hey, no, we're not marketing. Like you're not profiting off of this. So he purposely, like, he went and got that shirt to list his coupon code on the first photo of Kyle being released from. From jail.

[A]

You know what? I don't think, I don't think most people know this. And I've. I've no problem telling this story.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

So me, me, me and J.T. forged our friendship. Well, we have to give Caleb Gage credit for this. The most unlikely of. Of circumstances because someone asked, how the

[B]

hell did you two come together? It's Caleb Gage.

[A]

Yeah, that's right. And that's. It's actually a really interesting story and it's. It's. It's a better story for you than me, but I've. I have no problem telling the story.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Because you. You know what you think you know. And I also too, wasn't.

[B]

I. I at the time too, I wasn't sure how much was true about you, so I was very. I was talking all kinds of. Oh yeah.

[A]

So.

[B]

Because again, I'm so used to. Oh yeah, I've heard this before.

[A]

Right, of course. So I have. I have no problem telling the truth. And sometimes very few times, in fact, this is one of those times where I. I do more research before. Before I decide to take a stance. I'm slower to. To take a stance. I have no problem taking a stance. So what I thought to be true was this.

[B]

And it.

[A]

And based off of the optics, it seemed to have lined up like it. If that makes sense. Like it seemed there was enough people talking about it and I'll tell the specifics. The Kyle Rittenhouse thing was one that Black Rifle didn't. Did not support Kyle Rittenhouse. That Black Rifle was not really a two way that they. Their name is Black Rifle. But when. When push comes came to shove, they did not support Kyle Rittenhouse. That was one thing I was upset about and I had.

[B]

And it's.

[A]

It's a classic case of. I saw a lot of people say that, so it must be true. So that. That's one, two was Black Rifle donates to the Democratic Party. It's not only if enough people are saying this, it must be true. And for both of those, I saw videos of people telling their versions of it. And so I was like, well, this must be true. So I had started to make videos poking fun at Black Rifle for being a fake. A fake company like, you know, not really standing on their laurels. Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And it upset me. And you had. You. There was. I can't remember. You may remember there was one video or it was something.

[B]

I was kind of funny. It was like a. It was a poke.

[A]

It was. And then I commented and you commented, yeah.

[B]

And then it turned into the. The black. Right the back and forth.

[A]

And I was. And I was so junior or new to the scene. Someone's like jt. JT commented in it. And I was like, who's that? And he's like, well, he's. He's one of. He's one of the like the founding members of Black Rifle. And So I was like, oh, okay. So me and you get into this, like, online. Online, like, back and forth, and. And then someone. Caleb.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Steps in, and he's like, hey.

[B]

He was like. He was like, brent's awesome,

[A]

and Caleb's an awesome dude. And. And me and Caleb had been talking back and forth, and I tried to support him in any way I can. He's like, you really need to talk to jt. And I was like, I'll talk to jt. And then I talked to you, and I was like, hey, well, I got questions for you. He's like, all right, I got answers for you.

[B]

I'm like.

[A]

I was like, I'm gonna give you some hard questions. He's like, I'll send them. And I saw. I asked you every hard question and every hard question. I had, like, you had a great answer. I was like, okay. Okay.

[B]

That.

[A]

That kind of checks out. That kind of checks out. And your answers were. Were so legitimate and so real. I had to go back and do. I don't know if. Do you remember this? I. And I made a post.

[B]

You made. Everybody went, wait, what?

[A]

And I made a post, and I said, hey, I want everyone to know I've been poking at Black Rifle, making fun of them. And I. I talked to the guys there. Evan even got on the phone and. And talked to me, and I made an apology.

[B]

Remember, we were all at the porch, and we. That was actually over an hour conversation. And that's when you guys connected the SF Echo connection. And all of a sudden, it was like, oh, hold on a second. Yeah.

[A]

And I. I made an apology video saying that the things I had made fun of about, and things I had pointed out about were wrong. And I have no problem. It's. It's. It sucks to some degree as a man to have to say, you're wrong, but I had no problem making that video and saying, hey, I talked to these guys. They had answers. Let me tell you what their answers were. I was wrong. Black Rifle is a. An upstanding veteran company that. That you should support, and what they're saying about them just isn't true. And I. And I. And I made that video, and I had no problem making that video.

[C]

Now, now, wait a minute. I remember this. I remember this day pretty well. And one of the things that was really awesome was. I think maybe it was JT said, hey, Evan's gonna get on the phone, and then you guys set him up to where. When Evan got on the phone. I don't know if it was Evan but you were like, I'm gonna burn your place down or something like that.

[A]

That is. Actually, man,

[C]

I forgot about you guys.

[A]

I had no idea at the time. We had just met via phone call, and I was like, hey. And, man, in hindsight, no wonder we. We hit it off so well. I was like, hey, how about. How about we mess with Evan? He's like. He was. What do you got? I was like, all right, when you bring Evan in, let's.

[B]

Let's act, like, scream.

[A]

Let's act like things aren't cool. And things have actually gotten much worse.

[B]

It's escalated, and we forgot about that.

[A]

And I started yelling.

[B]

And these are the things that we

[A]

just do for the game, too, by the way. This is not for the Internet at all.

[B]

We did this for us. Yeah.

[C]

For a phone conversation.

[A]

I never told this story right. And I was like, how dare you? This is not okay.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah.

[A]

I will bring. You think I can't. I will bring you guys down.

[B]

I will make it my life mission.

[A]

Make it my life mission. He's like, whoa, whoa. What is going on, jt? I thought we were good. What the did you just bring me into? I forgot about that.

[B]

Yeah, that was fun, honestly.

[A]

Yeah. What. That's. And that's where the friendship started.

[B]

What really sucks about that whole thing was Eddie Gallagher was at my house right after he got cleared of everything, and he was staying with me because I. We were going to just hammer the Internet with this series of videos that were fun and funny that completely, like. Like, just washed everything. And, like, he had. He had. He had landed at like, 5pm that evening. He's sitting on my couch in the studio. I'm like, dude, I've got this idea. I got this idea. He's like, hell, yeah. This is going to be so much fun. And then. And then all of a sudden, that photo comes on Twitter, and I go,

[A]

oh, of Kyle Rittenhouse?

[B]

Well, it was that one. Yeah. But it. But it had dipshit's coupon code on it, right? Absolutely not. So I call Evan right there. I go call him because Evan had had the relationship with him at the time. I go call him right now and tell him to take that down. That's tacky, as we're not fucking putting coupon codes on this. Right?

[A]

And.

[B]

And so Evan. Evan's like, oh, fuck. Yeah. Yeah, this is dumb. And he hangs up, calls me back an hour later. He's like, I told him it's good. We wake up the next morning, NPR had done a news release Like a radio show saying that we offered Kyle a full ride sponsorship upon his release. They did a printed thing. And then he who shall not be named because he is a douchebag had now flipped and completely like, oh, they're. It's like, no, dude, we told you to remove your coupon code.

[A]

And the, the other thing that, that, that hit home to me because as, as a adamant supporter of law enforcement, I always say the same thing. I say, hey, things may look bad, but let's, let's wait to see the facts before, before I throw my lot or give an opinion on what's right or wrong here. And when I talked to you guys, you guys said almost exactly what I had said multiple times before, because the truth is a truth, whether it's on this side or that side. Now it's happening to, to a 2A guy, but the truth still remains, which is, well, we didn't know if we should defend him yet because we didn't know the facts. He could have, he could have absolutely been in the wrong. He may have been in the right. We don't know. We just waited to find out the facts. And I said, actually that's, that's what you should have done.

[B]

And then that initial, like Evan's initial thing, like when he, when he told him to take the thing down, he goes, hey, dude, you're. You're dealing with a bunch of guys that have carried a gun and fired it at people when they were 18 years old. Like, I was 19 when I was on the streets of Mosul. Like, he goes, we are not trying to use this as a, as a ploy to get money, right? Like, whether whether it goes one way or the other, he goes, this isn't our way to get ahead.

[A]

Yeah, it was, it was a very level headed approach to it. When I talked to you guys, I, I actually understood it. And what's worse, and I, and this was a little bit of a. I was very new to, you know, social media and being a public figure if, if you will, and the amount of hate I got towards that from, from being a reasonable person and actually talking to the source and finding out from the source what, what is the truth. The amount of people in the comment section. Don't know. There's a lot of people in the comment section. It's like, this is awesome. This is how it's done, you know, thank you so much for doing that. There's a lot of people like, sell

[B]

out, but as somebody sell out, just

[A]

because I talked to the actual person at A problem with. And found out that the story would. There's more to the story that makes me a sellout.

[B]

And. And even then, though, you know how many people argue with me about, like, the facts of the situation? Like, they will argue. People in the comments, you don't know

[C]

what you're talking about.

[B]

Like, you weren't. No, that didn't happen. I'm like, you're talking to the person that was in the room, right?

[A]

You lived it, dude. Yeah. Like, right.

[B]

I talked to John Pierce, by the. The way. John Pierce was Kyle's original attorney. Like, John. Also, like, there's a bunch of missing money for, like, no one stuck into that.

[A]

Right. I don't know if I'll bring that story up, but. But. But that story, too, got brought up, and you guys absolutely explained that one. Like, oh, gosh.

[B]

Like.

[A]

And to be honest with you, I actually. It in a weird way, and this is sound weird, Got mad at you guys to some degree for not doing a better job of defending yourselves. You know, you guys are a massive company with a great marketing campaign.

[B]

I'll tell you why.

[A]

And. And yet, like. And yet this goes unchallenged, it seems, to some degree, it's because when you have the truth on your side, it's

[B]

because of the other side of it, though.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is for us, though, when you have Chase bank and PayPal and Stripe and everybody coming at you saying, we'll delete you tomorrow. Like, all of a sudden we went, oh, no. Like, so we're like. We're, like, fighting the closest enemy. Like, whereas. Whereas, like, the reputational thing was like, well, we'll fix that when we can. We can make sure that we can still chart like. Like, have credit cards.

[A]

And again, he'll. He'll probably never say this, but this is kind of the first time. I don't know. It just seems right. I feel like it makes sense to talk about some of these things to tell you how gracious Evan was. He didn't have to take that phone call.

[B]

I was.

[A]

I'm a fly on the wall to black rifle. You know what I mean? I'm a fly on the wall, the black rifle.

[B]

But we've never approached anything like that.

[A]

And. And you guys took that phone call and you talked to me and you explained everything to me, and. And then even after it was all said and done, Evan's like, hey, if you ever want to come on out here, I'll give you a tour of the place. I'll tell you how we make things. I'll Tell you how we ship things.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We may be a couple steps ahead of you, but we can show you things so you don't make the same mistakes we do. After I had just been wrong and been poking. His answer to that was to explain everything to me and then invite me out to his operation. It was, it was a very. Is a very classy move.

[B]

Well, and that was the thing. It's like we, we have always been a. Hey, everybody's invited.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, because we feel that way.

[A]

We.

[B]

We have the imposter syndrome. Same thing. Like, like for us. Like, like even with range 15, like, for range 15 for us was holy. The entire veteran community gave us money to make a giant movie. And our, like, my mindset was, let's just turn around and say anybody that we can bring up, we will.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, and that's how I've always been. Anybody that starts to come up in the space, like, it starts with, can you do it on your own? And that's it. Like, like when you see people start to develop their niche or what they're doing, you have a seat at the table with.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

With this group. Because we're willing. If you've got talent and you've got drive, well, hey, dude, we will give you all the tools that you need.

[A]

I don't know why I just stuttered right there. Yeah. Because drama seems to get clicks. So there's this just the. And that's clicks and cheap clicks and nice things don't, don't get, don't get traction. They just don't.

[B]

I'll.

[A]

But I don't care. I'll. I'll continue to brag on you guys because. Because it's, because it's true. And I don't think, I don't think I told you this when, when, when you, when you told it to me. It actually, it's kind of the way I always did business, but it really kind of solidified the. The why behind it. You told me one time, like, we'll. We'll never view you as any sort of competitor. In fact, we'll do everything we can. My goal would. Would be to have black rifle and first responder coffee both at Walmart and we'll push out another. Yeah. Another inferior coffee company that we're not going to be like, oh, you're going to take our pie. No, we. We want you to take someone else's pie. And we'll, we'll. And we'll both come up as Folgers.

[B]

Who gives a fuck about.

[A]

Right. Yeah, exactly. Push those guys out. And we want more veterans in this space. And. And it's kind of. And it's against the. The business model of sorts, because some other veteran coffee company will come up and someone go, oh, another veteran coffee company. But you guys don't see it that way. You're like, awesome. Another veteran coffee company. Let's own this space together.

[B]

Because. And this goes back to, like, Ranger up was a direct competitor of Article 15. Like, well, I'll reverse that. Article 15 was a direct competitor of Ranger up at the time because Ranger up was one of the first lifestyle apparel brands in the military space.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

They had the blog.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

That had started in 2008. Like, they were the first. Dude, when we started, we saw them as, like, the dick giant we did. We viewed him as, oh, we're gonna stick it to Ranger Up. We're sticking to Ranger Up.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And as me and Matt kept putting things out and we're like, oh, dude, we are dusting them. Ranger Up. Like. Like, them. We got them like. Like, we're funnier than them. We're making more relevant stuff. Like, they don't get it. Cool. But. But also, too, at that time frame, like, 2013, like, they had Dakota Meyer and Tim Kennedy. Like, they had these people that were way bigger. So it's like, oh, dude, they know celebrities. But we're still. We're still going to take it to him in the trap.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, then when we had the. The concept for range 15, like, I was like, hey, maybe this is the olive ranch for us to work with Ranger Up. And initially they were like, what the are you talking about? Yeah, but, yeah, I was like. I was talking to Cody, our CFO at the time. I'm like, cody, but they could split the cost of this movie that I want to make. He was like, oh, I like that. I go, let me. Let me email it to him. So I emailed Nick Palm, Shadow, and yeah, hey, do you guys want to

[A]

make a movie together?

[B]

And so. So, like, if you go back to the start of us in entrepreneurship and business, for me it was if we united right, we got bigger. And. And again, like, we raised $1.3 million on Indiegogo. We were the fourth largest crowdfunded film. I don't. I'd have to look now. But, like, it was. We were like, second to Super Troopers too at the time.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like,

[A]

you. You said. You said something that I wish you kind of would have continued. You're like, we're. We're the broken lizard of. Of. Is It Broken Lizards.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Broken Lizard of a veteran comedy.

[B]

And.

[A]

And you guys were like. You really were like. You guys could.

[B]

I think we need to bring that back. I think we have the crew now. And I have. I've had an idea for almost eight years. What do you.

[A]

What do you. Oh, where.

[B]

I do know the guys from Broken Lizard now. And I think now that we have the whole conglomeration, like, and honestly, the political climate at this point would.

[A]

That would be epic.

[B]

Would take this. That'd be epic. You know the end of Super Troopers 2. They're getting disbanded up in Rhode Island.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, well, now the new movie starts and we're all in Arizona, and we're ex military border patrol agents, and they're ex Rhode island state troopers. Their day shift. We're night shift. We hate them. They hate us.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Travis Pastrana and the Nitro Circus crew are some sort of, like, cartel motorcycle gang that is smuggling drugs over the. The border of Arizona and Mexico, and we have to team up with them to take out. This is the setting is there.

[A]

The setting is there. And the time is right. And me, you and Nate, you from Valhalla. We've talked about this. I really want to take back the term vet, bro. I hate that. That it got turned into a douchey thing because there's nothing. Nothing wrong with being a vet. There's nothing wrong with being a bro. But you turn. You combine them, and in a weird way, that's kind of on us just as a community because we didn't vet it properly. You know what I mean?

[B]

I'm guilty, though, that.

[A]

Well, no, I don't. I don't see it that way.

[B]

I'm guilty of the term I started.

[A]

Right.

[B]

And if you ask AI, it finds.

[A]

Right. Well, then you should invested that. Some vested interest into taking it back because you started it and it was cool. Yeah.

[B]

But they took it to a different direction. Like, my initial. My. My initial plan for this was I wanted to troll Matt. Like, I was trying to. With him, and I was trying to create this.

[A]

There's like.

[C]

Like online.

[A]

There's a consistent threat here. Yeah.

[B]

I was like. I was like, look at this ranger frat guy. Bro, vet. Like, fuck him. Planting all these seeds with all these different accounts and everything. Like, and. And. And then, yes, it turned into like again. They. They were like, oh, the Brovettes. And what I want to say that too is like, hey, guys, we've always just made funny stuff.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

To make you laugh. Like, it's. I'm not.

[A]

I'M not. I'm not walking anything back. I'm proud of. Of. Of everything I've done. I say proud of it. That's. That's a tough. That's a tough word to use when it comes to veteran accountability. It's.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's been tough. You know, it's not. I don't. It's not easy. I don't work. I don't take joy in it. But I do believe it was a necessary evil. But it's. But it's done, so. And unless it has to be done again, I'll do it again. But that's. That was my hope, that if we get some veteran accountability, it'll stop. And it seems, as far as I know, it's. There's. There's no one else that's. That's on. That's. That's on my plate right now. So let's. So let's get back to entertaining people and making. Making funny videos and. And we're. And we're ready to clean house if we need to, but if we don't have to, let's get back to doing bro vet stuff and being authentic and being funny. Yeah.

[B]

And that's it just make people laugh.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, and it has nothing to do with, like. And that's what's kind of confusing, too, you know, when you see people coming, oh, black rifle's a bunch of bro vets. It's like, what are you talking about? Like, we have a rooster with a fucking set of pano knots. Like, grunt style is the one that has shirts that is like, if I see you, you're dead. And it was founded by a bunch of pogues. Right?

[A]

For fuck's sake.

[B]

Guys. Like, yeah, like, you had a bunch of guys that never went to combat, like, beating their chest about how cool they are, and it's like, dude, we used to fight with those dudes, and that's something that is. They don't see know any of this now. Like, this was 15 years ago.

[A]

Like. Like, Drew, be sure to write down a time stamp so we can clip that and. And get some rage bait going.

[B]

Picking up the phone, calling Daniel area going, you stole our design. I will walk.

[A]

No, Drew, I'm just kidding.

[C]

I'm just kidding.

[A]

I'm just kidding.

[B]

I'm coming into your office and burning the building down. These things happened. Like, we used to be gnarly. I love.

[A]

That was a test, and you passed.

[B]

I love it.

[A]

Drew's like, yeah, that you guys.

[C]

You put in the super chat. I Read it. You tell me to write it down, it's getting written down.

[A]

No, I used to work with another guy that would do that, and I didn't appreciate that, so I won't do that to you. Jt. What. What do we got in the super chats, Drew?

[C]

All right, super chats.

[A]

Let's not ignore the super chats, all right?

[B]

Holy fook.

[C]

Back in. He says, brent, don't worry.

[A]

The.

[C]

The cevette coffee was free from a friend out of Indonesia. His wife works for the company you didn't have.

[A]

Look at. Look how honest. Look how honest our audience is. I love it. Thank you. Holy fook.

[C]

Jillian Sheffield says, how did you guys link up? Love to see my two favorite coffee brands without the cutthroat business bs.

[A]

I love it.

[C]

I think we covered that.

[A]

Yes. Yeah, we did cover it, and I love it. And thank you for not feeding into drama and be like, you know what? I'll tune into to good stuff as well. Thank you for that.

[C]

John's for 200. Thanks for the Love Brothers as outro Voodoo Child by Stephen Ray Vaughn live from Austin, Texas.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yes. See? 199. John, John. Hey, we're all about you, buddy. Oh, it's from the great St. My friend.

[A]

He's in the lead.

[C]

Holy f. Back in. Chuck Norris arrives to heaven. What do you think God said to him?

[B]

God didn't say. Chuck Norris roundhoused him to the face. Then he said, you remember me?

[A]

I. Not. Not, not. Not. Nothing to steal the. The. The funny out of. Out of your sales. But what. What I hope God said to him was, well done, thou good and faithful servant. And I hope his private life was just as awesome as his on screen life. And he was the man that we think he is, and that is way more important than anything he ever did on screen. And I hope that's what God said to him.

[B]

I got to meet him.

[A]

Be great.

[B]

I got to meet him.

[A]

You know what? We had him small. He's not as large as I thought

[B]

he was, but he's very sweet.

[A]

We have a unit formal every year, and one. One year, he was the guest speaker at our unit formal, and he was. It was really cool. It's got to be full circle of sorts to do the movie the Delta Force and come talk to the Delta Force.

[B]

I met him at. Dave Sparks is like with the Diesel brothers.

[A]

Okay. Yeah, he was, he was super nice.

[C]

Zubi says thoughts on Joe and Tucker maybe being under investigation and Joe's comments about Israel strong arming us also as 0311 guys USMC, I'm pro war. But G. What got the US into so much debt? How do we get around this happening again?

[A]

That's, that's a great question. I'm gonna take it one step at a time. So Joe Kent is the Joe he's talking about. So Joe's it. It's funny when people leave a job and it seems like they're doing it under the guise of, of of morality and then you find out they're under investigation. It kind of takes, takes the wind out of that, that taking the high ground part of it. So that, that doesn't bode well for him. I don't know what the heck has happened to Tucker Carlson. I used to like Tucker Carlson. I thought Tucker Carlson used.

[B]

I don't know what's real anymore. I, I, you know what I call you and I hang out.

[A]

Right. I know.

[B]

It really does to me. Yeah.

[A]

It makes you want to play your blinders on and be like, I, I don't even care what's going on.

[B]

Has a very, has a lot of. He's yelling a lot. I'm just kidding, man. You're hilarious.

[A]

And, and it's even Tucker Carlson actually had to come out and make an apology video. I'm trying to think the topic that, that he's.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Had to do with the Epstein files and had to do with an Israeli that was part of the epine files. And he questioned it and he pushed real hard. Then he, then the facts came out. I was like, oh, I'm. I'm sorry about that. I, I was wrong about that. Tucker Carlson. Candace Owens is another one. I used to love Candace Owens. Like, man, that's a really smart, articulate, conservative black female. That's what we need in this country. She's, she's a, she's a unique voice and she's just completely gone off the rails, dude.

[B]

I think everything is just turned in, into views.

[A]

Everything's turned into clickbait views because it's,

[B]

there is no humility anymore. And this is one thing I've always. Hey, I don't know.

[C]

It's the view for conservatives.

[B]

I don't know. Like, there could be like, I, I'm old enough now to be like, yeah, I could base my opinion off of the nuance that you showed me, but that doesn't mean I know what's real or what's happening.

[A]

You could go back to our conversation of sorts of, of how we met. You know, I, I based my opinion off of whatever the media of what you saw. Right. But doesn't mean that's the, that's the truth. Yeah, it's. Let me make sure I get everything. Comments about Israel, strong among us, also the three. So here's. And there. And they can, they can. You can say whatever you want to me about the comments. You're, you're not gonna, you're not gonna shame me with your, with your un. Factual comments. The smallest. One of the smallest countries and in the United States being in control of everything is wild there. It's all opinion. I, I've said this to someone just, just today, actually, I think I said it again. Whereas like, you're telling me that Israel controls our whole government. 1. That's wild. And like, oh, Israel controls Trump. And I say, go look at his Twitter feed, his X feed. No one controls that guy. No one controls him and all. And this, it's, it's, it's baseless evidence. You're telling me out of the hundreds and hundreds of people in Congress, which is both our congressmen and women and senators, that I would like to interrupt

[B]

you real quick, please. Do we call them tweeters.

[A]

Tweeters.

[B]

That's all they do.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Congress don't do. Dude, they tweet.

[A]

But you're telling me, don't get me wrong, I don't, I don't have a high opinion of those folks books, but I know there's some good people there and we need more of them. But there's not one that's ever come out and said, hey, you guys aren't going to believe this, but Israel tried to strong arm me into doing Israel's bidding. Not once ever.

[C]

Israel didn't like him having the Saudi Arabia king over and then sell F35 to Saudi Arabia. Israel was against that and Trump did it anyway.

[B]

I, I imagine that Congress is a lot like the military where we atrit the good people because the good people get tired and fed up with incompetence and, and, and, and the like blind. Like, like, like, because, because I always felt that even from a young age I watched really good E8s leave because they were frustrated. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. At the system.

[B]

And, and they were like, you know what I mean? I'll go make money instead of giving all of my heart to this where you. Where I have stupid people fucking me up. I'm not going to do that. And I guarantee you that is what it's like to be in government.

[A]

It's got to be. It really has to be. But you can go to watch House of Cards.

[B]

That's probably very real. Everything's a give and take. It's. Hey, that's great. I'm going to do you a favor right now, but you owe me a favor. You know what?

[A]

Actually, jt, do me a favor. Carry this podcast for about two minutes. I'm. I'm going to. I'm. Drew, we're gonna. I'm gonna send something else to the. To. To ig. Okay. It's. It's. It's just. It's just facts and statistics and numbers.

[B]

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to kz.

[A]

You know what? Hold on.

[B]

You know what? Hey, when we. Brett's trying to just get me all kinds of wrecks.

[A]

Hey, sell that. Honestly, sell that bottle of bourbon, will you? How would you sell it?

[B]

I mean, this is FRCC small batch whiskey aged seven years right here. Honestly, it's spicy, it's got a good bite to it, and it has flavor for days. Obviously, used with this is starting to

[C]

sound like a 900 level.

[B]

Are you ready to have some tactical talk? Go ahead and give me your uplink free. And I'm not talking about a piss 5. I'm talking about a 117 fox. I want to uplink and downlink. That's both UHF frequencies. Well done.

[A]

Nailed it.

[B]

This small batch bourbon right here is age 7 years, 45% alcohol. That is 5% more alcohol than Liza Minnelli's blood alcohol level.

[A]

I don't know why to do the sooner. I said.

[B]

I said earlier, like, oh, God, Evan's calling us. Do we put him on the show?

[A]

Put him on the show.

[B]

Will burn you on the live.

[A]

He's trying to talk. He's trying to shut.

[B]

You want him?

[A]

He's like JT's. You have to stop talking.

[C]

You're over the top.

[B]

Are you sure? Brent wants to say hi. Hey, Brent.

[A]

What's up, dude? Evan. How you doing, brother?

[B]

We just talked really good about you for like 20 minutes.

[A]

Oh, shut up. You know, your. Your. Your ears must have been burning, and it's awesome that you called. And in fact, I want to tell you this now. I just. I just told my. My whole audience. I never told the story because good stories don't get views. But I don't care. I said the. About the first time that. That you called me when. When I was poking the bear, because I. I thought I was. I thought I was standing up for what was right. And you guys took the time to call me and explain everything to me, and I had to make an apology video because I just wasn't right. And you want to talk about eating humble pie? You even invited me out and said, hey, I want to help you out. We're a few steps ahead of you. You can come out to the facility anytime you want, and I'll show you how we run this business. And that was. That was really impactful, man. And you. You never told anyone that story about how. How nice you are. I never had have either. And I finally got an opportunity to tell that story tonight, and it was. It was really awesome of you. I just want to say thank you,

[B]

dude.

[A]

That's.

[B]

That's.

[A]

That's a big deal, man. I really appreciate it. Of course, like, yeah, 360. Like, that's what we keep saying, right?

[B]

It's like this post service, you know, g wat community.

[A]

Like, we gotta keep watching each other's back. We got way more bigger fish to fry than.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Going after each other.

[B]

You know what I mean?

[A]

Absolutely. Now.

[B]

Yeah. We're the only ones that get it.

[A]

Now. Now, the. I haven't forgot about the shooting competition. That's. That's.

[B]

Oh, I know.

[A]

We gotta. We gotta fire that up. Absolutely. That's. That's still on the table. I'm not saying I'm not gonna hire some other tier one guys last minute to be on the FRCC team. I've said too much. Don't worry.

[B]

You don't threaten him because he's gonna. You know who he has in his back pocket?

[A]

Who's that?

[B]

I mean, Evan, you got. You got everybody that you would need.

[A]

Yeah, I. I know. Guess what I mean. You know, Graham.

[C]

Can't say Chuck Norris.

[A]

Oh, oh, Matt Graham.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Really?

[B]

Graham. Graham.

[A]

Solid.

[B]

He's. You know what?

[A]

He's the dance marksmanship instructor for my former office. Oh, for sure. He was quite.

[B]

He was.

[A]

He's quite proficient. But, you know, we're. We're slipping a little bit older.

[B]

I know, I know.

[A]

Hey, we. We got it. We got an answer for Graham. I'm getting D.J. shipley to come out and do a snatch and grab on him to make sure he doesn't compete. I'm down.

[B]

I'm down with that. DJs just hell of a nice guy. Hey, man, sorry.

[A]

I Gotta put this bag on your head.

[B]

Real story. Real sorry about this.

[A]

He's got to be the nicest guy to statue grab you for sure. Which. Which sounds like sexual assault.

[B]

My daughter's cat.

[A]

See?

[C]

Evan herding cat.

[A]

All right, there's. There's a nice little. And that's why you tune in. You tune in for things like that.

[C]

Random.

[B]

Randomness.

[A]

Randomness, Drew. Back on. Back on task. I'm not going to forget about it. Can you play the last thing I just sent you to Instagram?

[B]

Look,

[A]

there it is right there. People say Israel buys American politicians. Okay, let's look at the money. Foreign governments have to register their lobbying. Here's who actually spends big in Washington. Japan, about $50 million. Saudi Arabia, 44 million. China, over 30. China, Israel, way down the list with 14 million in 2024.

[B]

So you say.

[A]

Okay, what? Well, that, that doesn't line up with what everyone is telling you based off of their feelings and, and their. And their blind hatred. That's that and those.

[B]

Japan.

[A]

Right. You want to be mad at people. China's spending more. You should be really upset and have questions about what China's doing. Yeah, all right, keep going, Drew.

[B]

But you and I, you and I talked about this yesterday.

[A]

That's. That's what you should be mad about. Not this manufactured hate.

[B]

What about APAC?

[C]

APAC?

[B]

APAC?

[A]

APac isn't a foreign lobby. It's American. So it's not on that list. So where does it rank domestic? Domestically? 233rd place, $3.3 million. Little more than Walgreens. A little less than Home Depot. Compare that to the real power players. The U.S. chamber of Commerce, 96 million. The National association of Realtors, 86 million. Big Pharma, 60 million. The American Hospital Association, 55. I'm a big pharma. $50 million. Out of the top two hundred and fifty lobbyists in Washington, APAC's lobbying spend accounts for about.01%.

[B]

That's one.

[A]

I don't think you had the lobby for 1%. And even when you count election spending, including packs, super PACs, and non disclosed money, APAC is just a drop in the bucket. 0.5%. 1/2 of 1% of political spending. So if Israel doesn't own American politics, why is everyone so focused on it? We can take a guess and so can you. So I, I went to Apex actual website just to see if their numbers align with that. And there's one reason, because the comments section. In the comments section, someone said, do your research. This isn't true. APAC's own website doesn't, you know, says that they're. That they spend way more than this. And so. Okay, because I don't. Because, don't get me wrong. Just because you see one thing that kind of aligns with, with your. Your views that you want to hear. People will see a video like that and run with it. And I don't want to be that guy. So I saw the comment and I went to APAC's website and guess what APAC said they spent on lobbying. He says 3.3% in 2024. What is the APAC website itself say they spent on lobbying in 2024?

[B]

1%.

[A]

$3.3.3 million. The same exact number that he said. Now he's getting this from Open Secrets or openfunding.com which is which. This has to be reported. So you're telling me.05% of the funding and they run this country. If you believe that, you're an idiot. And I don't know how else to say that. And I'm sorry that you want it to be true, but it's just not true.

[B]

So this brings me like, watching that reminds me of a really good friend of mine named Billy Johnson. Billy Johnson was like one of the pioneers back in 2012. Like one of the first drew. Pull up YouTube and search amidst am I dst the noise. Like, and, and. And I'm pulling this up because I think they're a M I D S T amidst the noise.

[A]

D DST Got it.

[B]

The noise. And then choose your own crime stats. Oh, and yeah, yeah, not the word and just choose your own crime. Or. Yeah, choose. Choose your crime stats. It should pull this up. Like when you see. Like this is one of the OG right here. Choose your own crime stats right there. Like, okay, so 13 years ago.

[A]

All right,

[B]

watch this.

[A]

I will.

[B]

And you've never seen this?

[A]

No.

[D]

I've been doing a lot of research over the last few weeks because I'm disappointed with the data that I've been hearing on the news. The lack of respect for citing the source of that data and the data I've been hearing from our politicians. So I wanted to talk to you a little bit about accurate crime data, comparing that crime data to other countries and why I think the data is different. So let's go over to FBI.gov and look at the Uniform Crime Reports. These are reports the FBI has been putting out every year for a long period of time. What I like about these is that these are unbiased and that The FBI does not advocate policy. I have a hard time accepting statistics from organizations that are actively lobbying Congress

[B]

or in some way, shape or form 2011. FBI didn't advocate policy.

[D]

So let's look at the national data for violent crimes. Let's look at 1992. We'll see that in 1992 we had a violent crime rate of 757 per hundred thousand and a murder rate of 9.3 per 100,000. Now let's fast forward to 2011. We have a violent crime rate now of 386 per hundred thousand. That is a 50% reduction in violent crime.

[A]

If you believe in math, a murder

[D]

rate of 4.7 per 100,000, that is a 54% decrease. So what I find astonishing about these numbers is that nobody's talking about it, our media isn't talking about it, our politicians aren't talking about it, and we have a 50% reduction in the violent crime rate over the last 20 years, yet no one is taking credit for

[A]

it because it doesn't get views.

[D]

I mean, pretty astonishing. It's unbelievable. I mean, does it not play into their fear agenda, right, that you know, you're gonna walk outside your front door and you're gonna get shot. I can't make any sense of it. And so I started looking at the data even further to see that the crime we do have, where is it coming from? When you start to look a little more closely at the data, one thing you'll notice, in metropolitan areas where the population is greater than 250,000, our violent crime rate is double that of the national average. Our murder rate is double that of the national average as well. When looking at the data, you can pinpoint where the crime is coming from. I mean, you can dissect that data even further and look on a neighborhood level and see where the true trouble spots.

[B]

The fact that none of this was used. This is early on. Yeah, like, and that is why all of our politicians, that's why I call them tweeters, because they're all full of. Yeah, they don't do this. They don't go, hang on a second, here is a solution, here's the.

[A]

And, and we, we both know it. And I'm not gonna, and I refuse to dance around it, because if you take a step further and say this is the reason this is happening, then you're opening yourself up to more questions. And, and people aren't going to like the answers of who are in these major cities and who are committing these crimes. Then you have to Answer those questions.

[B]

Yeah, they don't want that.

[A]

They don't want that. It's, it's, it's crazy.

[B]

And what's 13 of the population is, is committing 80, 85 of the crimes.

[A]

And that's. And those are just statistics.

[B]

Those are numbers.

[A]

Those are just numbers. Those are just numbers. And we'll never.

[B]

But never assert feelings.

[A]

That's right. And we'll never get to a solution because if, if we really want to get to a solution, then we have to really find out who the problem is. But because it's not politically, we have

[B]

to really actually act on the problem too.

[A]

Right? Absolutely.

[B]

I mean, and this is one of those things that, like coming from the worlds that we came in. And that's what's so difficult, I think, for us to assess, assimilate. Like, what's difficult for me to assimilate is I was an instructor for the TAC P career field. We had a standard. You don't meet the standard, you leave. Straightforward. Well, in the real world, if you don't meet the standard, you can't leave because, oh, it might look bad if they said something about this or no, it's okay. Even though they didn't meet the standard, we just need to give them another chance. And it's like, hang on a second. What the is all of this about?

[A]

I'm, I'm actually glad we, we brought that up because it's the perfect segue to kind of close this loop and go back to the original conversation. What I'm. That doesn't make me some, some Jew lover. It doesn't make me someone that got paid $7,000. I don't even know where that started from. Has nothing to do with that has to do with this. I just showed you. Statistically, with facts and with actual numbers, they are not controlling this government. And our government has problems. But if they're not the problem, then let's focus on what the real problem with our government is.

[B]

Incompetent people.

[A]

That's right. Yes, but if, but if the mass majority are going to buy this lie and say that's the problem with our government, our government will not get better because you identified the wrong problem. And if you ever identify the wrong problem, you'll never get to the right solution. So we can't buy into this lie. And it's not me blindly defending Israel. It's just saying on this particular point you're wrong and I'll say it. And I know. And don't get me wrong, I get it. Other people will say differently, and they'll get more clicks and they'll get more followers, and you'll hear what you want to hear.

[B]

But they made their money out of

[A]

that, too, by the way, which is ironic because you'll say that I'm defending them, that I'm the one making money off of it. It's the exact opposite. If I had hopped on that bandwagon, I'd be making more money. So everything about your argument, I knew

[B]

that just six years ago, if I would have started just reporting news and reacting to what's going on. Going on, I could have. I could have a million Instagram followers,

[A]

especially with your base, to do that, right?

[B]

Yeah, because I don't want to. I create things that are original, and I make things that I like, and that's all that. I exist in that world, and I'm happy with that.

[A]

Could we. I don't, I don't want you. You can say no, because I understand why, why you'd want to, to hold it close to the chest.

[B]

But

[A]

there's a video that we would like to make. I say, we. It's your idea.

[B]

No, I want to do this.

[A]

And you know, there's a Navy is an Army Navy video that we would really like to do. That was your idea. And after, when you first pitched it to me, I didn't really understand it until you, until you tied it together. Well, this is. Do you want to tell that story?

[B]

Oh, 100%. I was working on it today, by the way. All right. So I am trying to, like, in. I do this with grace, by the way, because I understand what's going on in the world, but today I put in motion to get on with Weimer because I want to tell him this, and I want to say, hey, I have a great campaign for the end of this year. I need you to tell whoever that you hire for army recruiting that you're hiring me and I'm going to do this. And I, and you're. You're my head person in this. Like, so I walked to the shop today.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, and I was on the phone. Like, I called cz. Like, I, I, I was on with. I was calling everybody because I'm like, hey, I want to engage. This will be such an awesome campaign for the Army.

[A]

Do you want to talk about what, what the, the details of it or you want to say.

[B]

I don't think we give it away yet.

[A]

All right.

[B]

But I think we say that it is, but it has to do with

[A]

Army Navy, and it's an Amazing army recruiting campaign. Yeah.

[B]

And it's a. And it's an amazing army stance.

[A]

And if we do it right, it'll be epic.

[B]

Will be generational. Like, this would last for a decade. Where it's a black eye on the

[A]

Navy, where they go, we didn't see it that way.

[B]

We didn't see. Yeah. And they're gonna. And they're gonna try to, like, all right, scramble.

[A]

And it's gonna be funny to watch, I'd say. I will hint more about it if. If you join the Patreon, I. I will hint more about it. Speaking of that, and I talked to you about this the other day at the shop. It's. They're paid for. They should be here in a couple of weeks. I have panos coming to the show, and I'm going to do a. An unboxing of these panos. I'm going to do a. An honest review of these panos, and then I'm just going to give the panos away to a random member on our Patreon. The same way we gave away a gun just like this. That. It's. That Magnet had an issue with his shop catching Fire. So that. That. That particular thing is. Is just a little bit behind schedule. But. But. But he is. He is getting one that looks exactly like that. No, no, you don't have to apologize for your shop catching on fire from someone else at all, Magnet.

[B]

But.

[A]

But the next one we're giving away are those panos. And the only thing you have to do is join our Patreon. You don't have to do another. A single other step. Just join our Patreon, and you will be in the running for a free set of panos. And I'm really excited about that, Drew. Let's.

[C]

Let's get through them. Yeah, we got a lot of them. The Prussian.

[B]

Yo.

[C]

Question. Drink 10 monsters right before asleep, study or eat Taco Bell just before a colonoscopy.

[A]

Eat Taco Bell.

[B]

Easy. That's Taco Bell all day. That's hilarious.

[A]

You know, it's been a while. We've had those either or questions. Really good, creative either or questions.

[C]

It's been a while.

[A]

Yeah, I'm going Taco Bell as well, actually. Let's do this. All right.

[C]

Our man Wiley Coyote with the love, he says, with apologies to Budweiser W class, Thursday is for the boys. Judas Priest Grinder for the outro. That's at 300, which also happens to

[A]

be JT's favorite app, so that is appropriate.

[B]

Hey, by the way, Wiley Coyote 505. Did you guys see the video that went viral like three days ago where the chick was like, hey, I just had an 11 year old go, hey, Papa Titty, out for the boys. And then someone was like, oh, like that dude just went down in history as the greatest dude of all time in his friend group. Yeah. Told this hot chick at a gas station pumping gas. Hey, Papa Titty, out for the boys. By all means, hands off the 11 year old who's.

[A]

Who's his cool dad? He's got a cool dad.

[B]

Yeah, he does. He must be a seal.

[A]

That boy's got a bright future in the game. He's got a bright future in the game.

[C]

Chase Lee says Otis Funk Myers washed down with a.

[B]

That is the quality right there. Dude that got me.

[A]

That's what you want before a mission. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

A muffin and a Rip it.

[A]

So real. I'll tell the story real quick. As always, things start out real subtle. They get out of control and for. And there's. And they're stupid things for no reason. So before admissions I used to go, hey, give me a rip it. And when I would open, I'd go, rip it. Like this. I just rip it. And someone else on the, on the ODA was like started like to see like he was trying to one up me. And when he opened his. He was like, rip it. What are you doing there?

[B]

Did you.

[A]

What are you doing there? And so then if you fast forward this several more missions, it turned into knee slides on the towel and going. Just who could do the most over the top. Rip it open. And I missed those days. They were the best.

[C]

Justin says your comments on Berdal were Bertol. Bertl were interesting. Have you considered a story about the search for him?

[A]

Yeah, I think somewhat Bergdahl.

[B]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

Okay. Giving the guys lost some recognition and what he went through. You mentioned he paid his penitence or penance for it.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he absolutely did. As that was my. That was my troop that. That rescued him. And he was messed up. He did. He it. What he did wasn't right. But we have things in America that we do called time served and, and after five years getting tortured.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

But you know what?

[B]

We haven't seen old Bergdahl start a podcast. So let's all. If I could just salute that guy, like, hey, he bowed out, right? He bowed out gracefully.

[A]

Right?

[B]

Let's. Let's forgive him.

[A]

Come on.

[B]

You guys forgave that weightlifter in California.

[A]

I did. Yeah, absolutely. Malibu.

[B]

Malibu Fit or whatever.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, I would have him on the show. I would have him on the show because he did what no other veteran apparently before him could do. Sorry.

[B]

He said, hey, I lied about that.

[A]

And.

[B]

And you know, whoops.

[A]

You know what's worse? His content wasn't even veteran focus. That was.

[B]

He was the first one to just go, oh, dude, I. Yeah, I made that up. Whoops.

[C]

Yeah, I know.

[A]

Yeah, he gets.

[C]

He's got less to lose.

[A]

Yeah, I'll. I'll take that.

[B]

And Bergdahl. Bergdahl was like, hey, I got released in. Yeah, I'm just not gonna be seen ever. And that was five years ago.

[A]

I just thought about that.

[B]

Let's bow down to that. I.

[A]

Have you ever seen him as a guest on a podcast?

[B]

Never.

[A]

I gotta find.

[B]

Did you write a book, bro?

[A]

I gotta find him.

[B]

Chelsea Manning is Chelsea Manning. Yeah, exactly.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm saying Bo Bergdahl is above Chelsea Manning for sure.

[A]

Yeah, I'm gonna find them.

[B]

Him.

[A]

I'm going to find him. How has he not been a guest? He'd have some crazy. He probably doesn't want to relive it, but maybe. Maybe the guy who. The troop who rescued him, maybe he'll come on this podcast.

[B]

He respected. Like, we gotta respect the guy that's just like, you know what? I'm. I'm out. Yeah, I'm out.

[A]

And he may not. And, you know, and I'd be grateful, but in a weird way, I'd. I'd hold him in high regards either way. If he came on the podcast and told, like, the. The true story, it'd be amazing. And if he didn't, I'd be like, right on.

[B]

Solid.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

All right, Holy folk back in says, Jared, any Bigfoot or UFO encounters? Do you believe in either?

[A]

Oh, holy f. That is a good question.

[B]

I mean, UFOs, yes, Bigfoot, who knows? I'm definitely like, why'd you go.

[A]

Who knows? Why'd you go all Jewish with it?

[B]

No, I didn't mean that. The Arabic.

[A]

Are you sure of.

[B]

No, it was more of like, I've definitely been bought. No, no, no. I've. I've framed Bigfoot things, like when I was an instructor, like, we would do weird to people on their night navs and stuff. Like, to make him think that, like, you, you know, you'd.

[A]

You'd be.

[B]

You'd put a course, like, at their land Nav point and you'd play a lip girl crying.

[A]

And like, you guys do. Do some. Some random things. Random from the outside. But maybe there's a story to it. But. But it works. I'm not. You guys have a. A clothing line and I think a bag with. With a yeti on it. Do you. Not with Bigfoot. Yeah. Is there. Is there a reason behind that?

[B]

Well.

[A]

Or just because that's Bigfoot.

[B]

You get. No, no, no. Like, everybody knows, like, Bigfoot is real. He just works for the agency. Obviously. That's why. Obviously, yeah. That's. That's why no one knows where he is or who he is. He's an agency guy.

[C]

Back man. Union says one of Jared's song for the clothes.

[A]

We're gonna do that. We're gonna do that. We're sometimes. And you get. You can call it whatever we can find on. On YouTube from. From next Saturday. That'll be. We'll do a twofer on the. On the closing songs.

[C]

Dwazio 19 says, Drew, what is the name of your new cigar? Love, y'.

[A]

All.

[C]

Well, right now it's just called Drew's favorite Cigar, but it's not full production, but I did pick up about 200 of them today, and they'll be on the website in about a week.

[B]

Dang.

[C]

TG Para says. Oh, man, that's.

[A]

No, no, no. Let drew stumble for it.

[C]

25041 BCT 82nd is on its third GRF spin up in six years.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Iraq 20 cabal withdrawal 21 TBD 26. Before 2020, it hadn't got spun up in 40 years.

[A]

Wow.

[C]

I was there for Iraq and cabal. It's a white devil world.

[A]

It's a white devil world.

[B]

I was a blue devil.

[A]

Yeah. I'm not surprised that they're spun up for it. Everyone will always look at those things. Don't get me wrong. If. If. When things start moving and things start spinning up, there's a chance they may be used, but we should be. We're prepared for the worst. You know, it doesn't always mean just because they're spun up, they're. They're going somewhere, but it is. It is a possibility.

[B]

Is Animal Mother in the comments right now on YouTube? The Animal Mother. That's my friend. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Jiwa was just a practice war. I wish life would. Would get over the Middle Eastern thing. That's animal mother D2R right there.

[C]

Animal Mother's been writing a book in the chats tonight.

[B]

Yeah, I don't know if that's.

[C]

They've been busy. TG Paris says, I hope we don't invade. And they aren't needed, though.

[B]

Yeah, Yeah.

[A]

I. I believe it.

[C]

Scott Wickstrom says waiting until you have all the information to have an opinion on news stories or current events is how it should be. This is one reason you've earned respect and support so quickly. One reason of many, but big one. God bless.

[A]

Thank you. Thank you. And another one of those is. And I hope we do find the. The truth about it. And either way, I'm okay with. As long as it's the truth. But remember, they were. When they immediately talked about that girl school that got hit by an American or Israeli missile and in. In Iran. And then not 24 to 48 hours, we learn. Hold on. We actually have evidence that it was an Iranian missile that failed to launch and. Yeah. And hit their own girl school. So you have to wait just a little bit before you. Before you jump on something.

[C]

Just another 11 Bravo, our buddy says. Can y' all stop making sense? Dang it, man. I guess we'll. We'll can all hate on and hope for failure of that liberal foo foo coffee.

[A]

Absolutely. That's something we can all get behind. So we can all get behind

[C]

Lone Star Oil and Gas, he Sundays. Now that JT has spoken with Drew's little brother, I feel bad for clogging the toilet at your flagship store in Born Texas.

[B]

Bernie.

[C]

Bernie. My bad.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Matt. A good time in Bernie. Bernie's had a good time in Bernie. Is.

[C]

Was it a weekend?

[A]

Weekend at Bernie's. I see what you did there.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

I see what she did there. It's a quaint little town. That little trip we made into Bernie was. Was really cool.

[B]

It's awesome. Yeah.

[C]

All right, let's see. Did a little.

[A]

Little hoppy on you.

[B]

I saw that you work with Vortak. I lived in a BORTAC neighborhood in El Paso, so I know a ton of Vortech guys.

[C]

And what are your thoughts and where they rank amongst the team?

[A]

Always heard good things about them, but I don't know any of them. And I would love to have, like, a retired BORTAC guy on the podcast. Dude, I've got.

[B]

I've got four I can give you.

[A]

Yeah, hook me up.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I'd love to know more about.

[B]

Well, Rocco is one of them. Like, call Rocco.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, he's a bor star. He was their medic.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, man. I've. I've done remotes on. On his podcast before. I'd love to have that guy.

[B]

Yeah, get him over here, dude. We'll get him out here. I'll get him out here. All right.

[C]

This is a cool question. Precision with purpose. If you. He's living, but his question is consistent with his name. If you were starting with From Zero today, no audience, no brand, what would you focus on in the first 90 days to actually build momentum?

[B]

You asking me or him?

[C]

It's both.

[A]

I'm. Throw it your way. All right, real quick. I have an idea, but I'm gonna throw it your way.

[B]

Muffler welding. Yeah. If I had to re. If I had to start over.

[A]

You're so random, but I love it.

[B]

I would weld mufflers. Okay. Yeah. Because muffler shops are generally locally owned, so then I could. I could, like, talk my way into saying, hey, let me work nights, and then I'll. I'll, like, double your workload. Yeah, I'll work all night and then sleep all day and then guard the shop at night, because I'll be working.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah, See, like, and then I'm making money. I'm building more customer base for the shop.

[A]

I. Oh, this is. It's happening in real time. Devin just got. She's gonna hate me for this. She just landed from. From Raleigh, and here. I hate it. She. She's so much more put together than I am. And.

[B]

And. But shocking.

[A]

I know. And I'm the Delta Force guy and the business owner and a podcast. Like, I should be better put together. And I. And I am. But I also do really stupid things every now and again that make you

[B]

go,

[A]

you sure you should be in charge of everything? Yeah. So I tried to get off of a. I just woken up. We were. We were flying in of front from somewhere, and I want to get off the airplane real quick. And I went to get up, and my seat belt was still on. And anytime I do something, like, real small but stupid, she always sees it. And.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

And she goes, hey, remember that one time you tried to get off the plane real fast, but you didn't take your seat belt off? I said, tell me that just happened to you. Just first time I thought of. Oh, no, dang it. She goes, no, just first time that I thought about in a while.

[B]

Nice. Nice. All right.

[A]

What would I do if I still have my same background?

[B]

You're not allowed. You're not allowed.

[A]

I don't have my same background.

[B]

Well, no, no, you have the same background. You're not allowed to lean on it.

[A]

But I'm not allowed to lean on it.

[B]

So you have to start from zero. This is a. This is a TV show that I developed a while ago that I tried to pitch To A and E. That was called zeroed Out. It was you. Zero your bank account.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Zero everything. Put. Put somebody in a. In a town. What do you do?

[A]

This is what I would do. And it's still, like, podcast related, right?

[B]

Okay.

[A]

But that I would. I would only focus on history. And you know who's done really well about that? The fat electrician. He's done. He's done a great job of Jack Mandeville as well. He just does. Yeah, he just does.

[B]

Just history.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, Jack does that. I would just focus on. On history, and whether it grew or not, wouldn't care because I love it.

[B]

But imagine you don't know anything about cameras or nothing and can't afford them.

[A]

I still don't know much about.

[B]

No. No change. You have a studio. You have a studio.

[A]

You. You. You. You've hung around me and Drew enough by now to. To really wonder how we make this happen.

[B]

Yeah. Trust me. We do this for 15 years. The same conversation happens at the start of every show. Hey, no, no. The key.

[A]

You. God damn it.

[B]

Pull the other one up.

[A]

You would think at times that me and Drew are.

[B]

Are.

[A]

Aren't that close or don't love each other because that. That when things are going haywire, the beginning of a. Of a podcast, like, no, Drew, you just gotta do this. I did.

[B]

You don't think I did.

[C]

We sound like a married couple.

[B]

Yeah, but that's. That's anything with any electronics.

[A]

Oh, man. And then it all gets to work

[B]

and we're like, oh, good, cool, cool.

[A]

Everything's good.

[B]

Everything's fine.

[C]

90 days. If I had to start over with nothing. I just get a cardboard sign, stand in front of the street light like, damn, dude, get. Make my money for the 90 days, and then take that money. And then you don't even know what

[B]

the conversion rate of that is, Drew.

[C]

I'm gonna find out.

[B]

Which is funny, because me and Colette had this conversation, like, three days ago. I'm like, is this a numbers game?

[A]

I. I told this story before. It was. It was like, we're. We're back in, like, 2009, 2010. I'm doing this low vis exercise in Boston, and it blew my mind. It's the only time I. It's the only time I had seen it. It had been before. Only fans, hot chicks from Boston University were standing at stoplights asking for money like. Like homeless people, and they were raking,

[B]

raking it in, I bet.

[A]

All without the drug addiction, raking.

[B]

Who's not going to be like, In.

[A]

Yeah. Sitting there in little shorts and halter tops, raking it in. That's insane. But the shame was at least you had to be out there and in public and show your face. And in your town, then only fans happen. You could basically do the same thing, but with. With. Without the shame. And it's. And it's unfortunate, but.

[B]

Yeah. Hot Dog.

[A]

Oh, hold on. Lord Hot Dog.

[B]

What?

[A]

There were several hot dog comments that. That never seemed to go away.

[B]

What's.

[A]

What's the hot dog story, drew pulp,

[B]

YouTube search lord hot Dog. Right there.

[C]

First one.

[A]

Well, there can't be that many Lord Hot Dog videos, can there?

[B]

I used to have a hot dog that was sold.

[A]

Okay. All right, what do we got?

[B]

It's been over five years since I was forced into the underground. But I didn't stop building. I only got stronger and better prepared. Why are the people still whispering his name?

[A]

I thought this was taken care of years ago.

[B]

We will be met with opposition.

[A]

I don't care what it costs. I want this handled.

[B]

We will be met with corruption. My police car. But the landscape is vast, and we will move throughout the shadows. We will rise to our rightful place. Which brings us right here to ask the question, are we ready?

[C]

Oh, we're ready,

[B]

Lord hotel. My dog. Best selling hot dog in the country. There you go.

[A]

And then you just sold hot dogs off of that.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I hate you.

[C]

Well, I don't think there was a hot dog in the whole thing.

[B]

I literally stabbed the entire pack.

[C]

Totally. Red Bull it.

[B]

Red Bull it. I Red Bulled it.

[A]

You Red Bull it. We just need to get a bloke

[C]

and a bike and run him off a cliff.

[B]

We just need to pretend that it's some sort of underground conspiracy.

[A]

How many views does that trailer have?

[B]

I don't know. Nothing.

[C]

20,000. That's subscribers on that.

[B]

Let's see, 4,600. It wasn't much, but that one went out on Facebook, though.

[A]

It's not much, but for whatever reason, the Internet has not. Those 4,6000 people have not forgotten about it. And they follow you fervently. There were several hot dogs.

[B]

You don't understand about the, like, my seafood history.

[A]

Well, you know who else?

[B]

The COD crisis is real.

[A]

You know who else fancies themselves? Lord Hot Dog Magnet loves him a hot dog brush.

[B]

Hot dogs.

[A]

That man loves a wiener in his mouth.

[C]

I like jalapeno cheese dogs.

[A]

It's in fact,

[C]

cream cheese jalapeno.

[A]

I'm not too proud. It's always easier to tell a story when when you've rebounded and you've. And you've done better. But we've all. We've all had low points and in fact, this is a. Thank you. I lived at Magnet's spare bedroom for a year.

[B]

Year and a half.

[A]

A year and a half. Yeah. Trying to get back on my feet after. After some. After some hard times and trying to be value added. Now, don't get me wrong, Magnet has a. Has what I like to call selective ocd. And the inside of his house, pristine. Pristine. His garage and parts of his backyard, mess, absolute mess. Because he's a weird OCD. In his house. Everything has to be in the right place. Everything has to be clean. But then he also has a mix of hoarder in inside him and he. And. And that's where. And everything got thrown to the garage. And I'm trying to clean out his garage form because we're going to turn it into a. We're gonna turn it into a man cave. We're gonna turn into a man cave smoking garage. Yeah. And so I'm cleaning it out. He has like those 711 hot dog rollers where like there's like 30 can go on it.

[B]

That's amazing.

[A]

And I'm like, what are you doing? He goes, I love hot dogs. I was like, I know, but have you ever used this?

[B]

He's.

[A]

I might. I said, no. That was the question. Ever use it? I'm throwing away boat motors. I'm like, does this boat motor work? He goes, it might, but no, Magnet. That's not the question. I'm throwing away hot dog rollers, boat motors, gallons of. Of paint that he's. That he no longer needs or uses.

[B]

What color is this? A sea foam saffron magnet. What is this?

[A]

You have like, you could repaint your whole house three times over.

[B]

I never know when I'm going to need it.

[A]

It.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I was like, if you need this paint ever again, I promise you I will buy it for you.

[C]

When the world shuts down and you need a boat motor, don't go and cry in a magnet.

[A]

And you know what's worse? If he ever needs that, he will remind me, like, hey, six years from

[C]

now, I could really use a hot

[B]

dog roller right now. Yeah, you're gonna. You're gonna be. You're gonna be 16 miles off the coast and the Evan Rood won't start. You were like, you know what? It started.

[A]

It took truckloads of. Of my ram to clean out everything. And it was so painful to him. It was he did it. He did it. But it was so painful to him. He was so attached on a hot dog stand. I. I'm sure you do. But you know what we did do? We. We cleaned that thing out. We repainted everything and we smoked a lot of cigars in that garage.

[B]

Spray painted the garage floor.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Not rolled it. We spray.

[A]

We spray painted it and my. My thumbs and. And fingers were. Were like. It took like 40 cans to do that.

[B]

Why are you spray painting the garage?

[A]

It's a long story. We'll. We'll tell you after this. Yeah, there is a reason, but I don't want to get into it. Some other floor mechanisms that we're going to do did not work. I was going to stain it.

[B]

That makes sense.

[A]

Sustain. Didn't. Didn't take because it. Anyway. Yeah. Anyway. All right. What else we got?

[C]

David Hookstead.

[B]

David Hookstad.

[C]

Nothing big to say. Just showing support for the boys while watching March.

[B]

Man, I haven't texted you in a while.

[C]

Keep Chapman's legacy alive.

[A]

Chapman's legacy alive.

[B]

Hell yeah. It's happening. Like the movie is done. It's in the can.

[A]

Oh really?

[B]

Alone. It's on.

[A]

Nice. Yes, nice.

[B]

So David 100 yeah man is on it.

[A]

David, if you're watching, I do know that you sent me a signal message I saw today and I didn't read it yet, but I will right after this podcast.

[B]

Everybody, all of our friends use signal and I don't. I get it.

[A]

I have. This is. This is how horrible I am. Look at this.

[B]

Massive group chats and signal you.

[A]

How many unread text messages do I have?

[B]

Can you see it right now? Too many. Yeah.

[A]

643.

[B]

How many do I have?

[A]

You're.

[B]

You're good.

[A]

None that I can see of.

[B]

I am insane. Like I keep up with Instagram, dms, emails and texts.

[A]

Here's the problem. Like once you get so far behind, it just.

[B]

It just crushes. I do it on planes. It just crushes. You keep up on planes.

[C]

Drunk Christian. Two bucks says Jesus Christ, King of the universe.

[A]

There we are.

[B]

Love it.

[C]

Mayhe says. Off topic question. Feel free to wait to ask this. Does Jared have advice for getting our brand into Walmart? It's Dennis from Tasty.

[B]

Oh, Dennis. Like. Like that. The whole thing is, is they Walmart. Walmart wants velocity. So they want to see demand like they want.

[C]

You're already successful.

[A]

Just.

[B]

Just create demand. Create, create. Like we were told in 2018 that we would never see the inside of a grocery store and we were like, okay, we're okay with that. So we just doubled down on Internet videos and went crazy as. As we could with all of our marketing until the point where was Johnny Morris? That was like, oh, well, I'll sell you guys in Bass Pro. And so much coffee was being sold at a Bass Pro that grocery stores were going, hang on a second. Why the fuck with people buying all their coffee from Bass, bro? Yeah, it's like, now you have to so force velocity Y.

[A]

There you go.

[C]

Holy F. Back in says Brent. Did you pick up your mail? No. Trans security question.

[A]

Yeah, stop.

[C]

No trans security.

[B]

I'll.

[A]

I'll tell it because it's true.

[B]

I don't.

[A]

I don't know why my former co host put out a message and it was like, hey, on. On his Patreon. I was like, hey, could. Could someone tell Brent to come pick up his mail? Because he won't answer my texts or phone calls. The man hasn't texted me in all of 2026. And so I text him like, hey, you could. You haven't. You haven't tried to reach out me at all. Like my. Even though I just showed how many unread text messages I have. But his wasn't one of them. I. I don't know. But yes, I. I did.

[B]

I think there's one word I did

[A]

pick up my mail. What's that?

[B]

Gay.

[A]

I. I did pick up my mail and I did not see any trans activity.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Thank God.

[C]

Gooch parmesan, I guess says JT. What are PJs and why is Goggins already the Goat? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

[A]

I don't want to start anything, but I also don't want to pretend like I didn't see what I saw, but I don't know if it's true.

[B]

I will.

[A]

I saw. I saw a post that said that. That Goggins was pushed through his. His pipeline.

[B]

No.

[A]

Or. Or he failed his first selection and got pushed through. But I.

[B]

He hasn't started. He literally is house hunting right now.

[A]

What's that?

[B]

He hasn't even started.

[A]

He hasn't started.

[B]

What? He hasn't started the afsw.

[A]

Okay, go ahead.

[B]

Like, he just got into the program, like right now at 51.

[A]

Oh, he went back in.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

I wasn't even tracking jt.

[B]

What is a PJ pararescue in? Yeah, they are Air force special warfare advanced medics, skilled in going after death down pilots. Goggins is not already the Goat? I don't know what you're talking about that. Like that makes no sense.

[A]

It is kind but. All right, let me take it from. I'm gonna take a 180 on it because I just, I just saw that, that someone. I only brought it up because I saw it on the Internet and it just shows what you see at the

[B]

one big article that went out.

[A]

Isn't that a good thing though that, that he's bringing attention to, to Air Force Special Operations by doing this?

[B]

Yes and yes and no.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I have, I am on both sides, by the way.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Because I, I've had this conversation with csip. Come sit and relax.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, like we have had an air in love. Like, like everybody in this world has been talking about this for the last two, three weeks.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Like there are two sides to this. And I, and I, I erred on both sides. Number one, yes. If anybody understands the current climate of our young hopeful meaning age 14 to 18.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

These kids are not in our world, like where you and I exist and our peers are what we see online and we constantly see drama and hate and the things of us calling each other out and things like that, they are not there. They are in a different portion of the Internet where guys like David Goggins are God.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So to see him go to Air Force Special Warfare and go into the PGA pipeline, they're going to go, well, I want to do that too. Just because he did.

[A]

Right.

[B]

So that's great for us.

[A]

It's great for recruiting.

[B]

That, that it is. It's amazing for the PJ world. But where the devil's advocate lies is number one, you have a 51 year old going through a pipeline that is not only taking a slot from somebody that is 18 to whatever, when he does make it through, what is he going to do? He's. Is he going to get his 5 level? Is he going to become like he's only going to serve three to five years and not contribute, therefore you've wasted a position. But again, it goes back to. But what did he bring in from the awareness side where this also goes to a different realm is if this goes bad in the pipeline. And my limited personal experience with David is he is hard at a sense of humor.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Where I've tried to joke with him quite a few times, it doesn't follow along. If he feels like he was wronged at any point in this pipeline, it could go bad. It's now a guy with a national level voice versus an E5 instructor.

[A]

Is. Is he. Oh, that's. Is. Is he doing it through the National Guard or Reserves or is he going through. He's got to be. Okay.

[B]

All right, so, but again, like, if at any point that he just disagrees with a call or any.

[A]

He is, he is not your average student. And it's, there's no way he gets a true, fair shake at this.

[B]

But again, I go back to the other side of the fence and go, this guy is a maniac. And he's manic and obsessive. Therefore, do I not think that he has been preparing for this for the last year and had the best people from.

[A]

Right.

[B]

The unit, like, grading. Like, he, it's, it's not like we're wondering if he can pass dive school. The guy can't. We know that. So what. We don't care. We, we're not worried about if he can swim. We don't know. We're not worried about if he can run. Like, right. So again, like, this is a very, there's a lot of gray in this situation.

[A]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with, with the. And, and don't get me wrong, your opinion matters way more than me because you're from afsoc. No, I'm not a pj. Yeah, but you're from afsoc, so that's not afsoc.

[B]

That's, it's, it was Battlefield Airmen when I was in. So it wasn't even afsw. We had a game name when I was a ba. Battlefield Airman.

[A]

But I, I, I just for recruiting alone, I, I think, I think it's a good thing.

[B]

Yes, I think it's a good, I think awareness wise. And that is what, that is what I spoke to my friends about about it. As I said, hey, at the end of the day, like, like your, your biggest battle right now is the SEALs have you guys like, left, right and center. They have, they have like an 18 month waiting list. Like, so. Yeah. Hey, if, if you can get teenagers excited about this and oh, by the way, teenagers think this guy is cool. I go, yeah, you may not think this guy is cool. Doesn't matter.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

And now the one thing I don't, I disagree with is the first article that came out that said like, the most, the strongest, gnarliest dude on the planet at 51, going back through pararescue, it's like, no, dude, I know combat controllers have two silver stars that broke both their arms and still called the near strikes Team. I don't want to hear about how this is the fucking greatest guy on the planet. Stop it.

[A]

I Think the domino effect that's going to happen from that is guys will, will join and, and the more guys that join from it gives the 24 a bigger pool to pull from. And that means in weird ways selfishly. But, and this, but this is true. There will be better PJs supporting the Delta Force because of this. I don't think it'll be a large number, but if we get 1, 2, 3, 5 more really good guys that we weren't going to get before they, that ended up working at a, at a national level, then, then it's worth it.

[B]

And that's what I was talking. Look, you have precision with purpose right here. Joey from SE Store. The, the Joey's a good friend of mine.

[A]

And, and that's what I told him.

[B]

I said, hey, at the end of the day, if he is, and what I think he will be is a recruiting tool.

[A]

Right.

[B]

Like once he makes it, if he makes it through the whole program, if he is just put there to get people through the door as a hopper, I go, then we've won. Yeah. Like, and we need to look at it that.

[A]

Yeah, I mean we're talking about it right now. We wouldn't have been talking about PJs this episode right now if it wasn't for David Goggins. So it's already happening, dude.

[B]

And you have to look at everything like that. Like, I think, I think we all just need to say, hey, when these situations arise, do not knee jerk go. Hey, what. What are the goods? What are the bads? What. What outweighs what?

[A]

Yep, I agree.

[C]

Clear it. Hot podcast in with much love. Is it true that all Delta Force and SEAL Team 6 member share the same dream to be from

[B]

Andy with 50 bucks to you. Andy just gave you $50.

[A]

Andy. You know, I love it. I love to get an opportunity to do this publicly because I, I said, I said it, I said it privately to you yesterday. I, I think Andy Stumpf is the best podcaster in the veteran business in

[B]

the, in the space.

[A]

And every time I watch him interview and both from his, his understanding, how articulate he is, how funny he is, like he is the boss thinks he's wrong.

[B]

By the way. He will go on a 5 paragraph uploader why he thinks he might be wrong and why he also is like, but I don't really know.

[A]

So yeah, I'm, I'm such a fan of Andy and just, you know, having me on his podcast was a bigger benefit to me than, than him. Big fan of that guy. I I do. I. I think. I think he's doing it right. And the. When you do things right, the reward takes longer. But I do believe Andy will have a million subscriber podcast before everything is all set.

[B]

I think Andy will be. Will go down as one of our greatest interviewers and, and somebody that shares information and tells stories and what I

[A]

love even more about it. He'll. He'll deny that and he'll say how

[B]

horrible he is and in the same sentence, he'll call both you and me gay.

[A]

He's embarrassed right now of us. Of us talking about how much we respected.

[B]

But you had him in a hot tub.

[A]

And my reward was putting him in a hot tub and making him super uncomfortable. Andy, I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that. You didn't deserve that.

[B]

It.

[A]

JT deserves that treatment, not you. And he gets away scot free in a leather chair next to a spartan helmet.

[B]

I would have looked better in the hot tub because I could cover this.

[A]

Damn it, Andy. I apologize.

[C]

All right. Diamond Poseidon says. I don't know why, but the tier one didn't work for Cloud Defense Light. I just tried to order and that

[A]

should be 30% off and to.

[C]

Well, they probably have a contact email.

[A]

Yes. Hey, please, please contact us at the tier one podcast gmail.com. it's the number one, the tier one podcast, gmail.com and we will get that squared away, I promise you. We always take that stuff very serious because when. When it's all said and done, I. I promise you it was. It was nothing. It was just either a miscommunication or some technical error. So I. I love fixing those things because it shows us who we are.

[C]

Excellent show. Thanks.

[A]

Who. Who sent that?

[C]

Drew somebody from Israel. There's our Israel money boys right there. That's the big Israel.

[A]

Six bucks to defend Israel. We're rolling in it.

[C]

Oh, that's cool. How the AT is on the right side. Very consistent with the Hebrew language. Elijah Smith says super P O G here.

[B]

Pog Pogue. Close enough. Pogue.

[A]

Yeah. Is very different. That's spelled P A W G. That's very different.

[C]

Okay. Super pogue. Even though there's not an e on the end that's not phonetically correct. Still hot.

[B]

A.

[C]

Bothered by how JT described the whiskey. Late night with jt. Can H do the same for the cigar of his choice?

[B]

In the.

[C]

Let's see, we've got John Vincia says throwing in a few bucks to help Max's treat fund. Oh, Matt, he's Been chewing on something here tonight.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Justin Filson says, brett, you just lost the TV remote. Who's the first one that you accuse of losing it in the studio? That's easy. All trust is lost. When the remote is lost Magnet.

[A]

I immediately go to magnet. I go, what you do with the remote? Magnet.

[B]

What's that magnet in my pocket? Because I'm the only one that controls it.

[C]

That 47 straight says it's. If one were to purchase three sample packs, will all sample packs contain the same cigars? Same cigars? No, that's a sample pack. So you're going to have sampling of different ones. And if you buy three sample packs, you're going to get this for free.

[B]

Yeah. Damn.

[C]

For the rest of. For the rest of March. All right.

[A]

Yes. But each sample pack has the same. So all three sample packs have the same cigars in each sample pack. Different cigars.

[C]

I see what we did there.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

That is correct.

[A]

Might be what they are.

[C]

The same sample packs.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Each pack has four different cigars.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Sorry for the misunderstanding. At 47 straight says in my 20s and my dad fought in World War II.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

Leyte and Okinawa. But I don't have much information about his service nor his two brothers. And my uncles would love to learn, but not sure where to start. Please advise.

[B]

Jt, you got any, like, you. You. You have to pull the 214 first.

[A]

So I've dealt with this a little bit, and I've. I've asked some of my friends, my different group chats, and they gave me actually some pretty unique advice, and they said, con, contact your local congressman. And they. And they will get access. They can get access?

[B]

Well, no, the thing is, is, like, if you start with a 214, the 214 is going to give you the unit.

[A]

Where does he get the 214 from? Like, where does he. Where does he start? By getting.

[B]

He's gonna have to have a birthday, Social Security number first, last name.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Then the 214 is going to give him the unit. Then you go to the unit because the unit has nonprofits associated with them, which generally have historians. And then you can say, hey, I'm trying to get information on this. Like, who.

[A]

Oh, man. Who. Who is it that controls all that? They're out of, like, Indianapolis, if I remember right. But who's the. The human resources center that controls all the VA for.

[B]

For all your 2 14.

[A]

Okay. The VA is what you're saying the whole.

[B]

The first step is, is learning what unit he was in in what dates and that's what your DD214 is going to give you.

[A]

And there's a good.

[B]

Once you have that, then you can start right. Trickling down and going to those units.

[A]

And just something that simple. We take for granted that he even knows what a DD214 is. So just him getting that to start on and saying, hey, you have to find his DD214.

[B]

But it's before the D214. It wasn't called a DT.

[A]

No.

[B]

And that's a Google search for my grandfather. I had to actually get on ancestry.com find his information on there and then I sent it off to them to get all his awards.

[A]

Okay. That's hrc is. Is a. And you know what's crazy is they don't have all of it because I guess I. I don't remember what year but years ago, like decades and decades ago there was a fire and they lost a lot of. In Texas and they lost.

[B]

They lost my grandfather's stuff too. Cuz he was supposed to have.

[A]

Okay. Israel Jew started a fire and. And we lost all the information.

[B]

So we didn't go to the moon. All right.

[A]

I hope that helps to. To some degree.

[C]

Let's see. Precision with the purpose says Joey and Aaron are both good guys. David quit. So this is the issue. Plus I've met David and he's not the best dude.

[A]

Before a show, I get to harass the robot technology, and then I get to show that I can't even connect a Bluetooth speaker half the time who's on my Bluetooth. And I have no business. And I have no business harassing Drew about technology because the only thing I have to do is connect Bluetooth at the very end, and I'm not even prepared for that. Oh, God. All right. Judas Priest.

[A]

Yeah.

Homegirl. So here's why my call sign is SB Okay? Because I put myself out twice in my own jet. Fine.

[A]

All right?

[B]

Like, got some great stories, like, of Wiz's flying career. So he's in the front seat, on the back seat. I'm fine. He goes, all right. ATC just cleared us down to 2, 000ft. So I'm at 22, 000. We got cleared to 2, 000, which is rare, okay. That you get, like, that much space.

[A]

All right.

[B]

Just go. Okay.

[A]

And they didn't tell you how fast you could get down there, did they?

[B]

They don't. It's just the fact that they cleared you. So I flip it on its belly and I pull, right?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Like, so I'm like, boom, boom.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I Woke up, like, two minutes later. Oh, my. Just flying flat at 2,000ft. And with just laughing like, hey, welcome back.

What?

[B]

I would have been talking about this. The thing about G forces.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Is they.

You build them, okay.

[B]

So your body gets used to them over time and experience. So a guy that has 20 plus years. Years.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Flying fighters.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He's ready for, like, the max G of an albatross is 7.5 GS. The max G in a F18 could be 11 if you pull the.

[A]

The G override switch, what can the human body take?

[B]

9ish. Really? But they could. They can stretch it again. If you've been a pilot for a while, just ask Tom Cruise. GS are something that you get used to.

[C]

That's like G money.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So he likes the J. Only can pull 7.5. Okay, but I'm new, right? So. Right.

[A]

Whiz broke an airplane, by the way, like a brand new F18. Yeah, he bent in half because he came down from like, 60, 000ft on the ocean floor with. Pulled like, what, 60 ags on.

[A]

On that. On that jet? 1982 jet, that. Right. That was the Albatross. The Albatross. What's. What's the flight hour cost on that thing?

[B]

1,200 bucks.

[A]

Okay. I hate to say that's affordable, but it's. It gets a lot worse from there. That's. That's for sure.

[B]

Yeah, as. As maintenance and things go up. So. Yeah, so. Yeah. So 7.5 lot for me. Flip upside down, Boom.

[A]

No, it wasn't a lot for you. It was too much for you.
