Magnet
What's up? What's up?
Brent Tucker
We got Drew making it all happen with a haircut that no one's happy about but him. I'll be blaming your wife about that, I. I suppose.
Drew
No, no, that was totally me.
Brent Tucker
You did it all on your. What? All right.
Magnet
Before.
Brent Tucker
I know, I know. I just have to stop right now. Why'd you get it cut? What was it?
Drew
I was tired. I was tired of the. I was tired of the hair.
Magnet
It was just.
Drew
It was just a pain in the butt. Pain in the butt.
Brent Tucker
All right, well, if anyone wants to know why the mood's off, it's because you got a haircut.
Drew
Yeah.
Magnet
All right.
Brent Tucker
We're gonna try. We're gonna try to salvage this. Yeah.
Drew

Brent Tucker
The intro will help. Let'. All right, well, I blame it on Drew for his. His haircut, which isn't completely wrong.
Drew
Yep.
Brent Tucker

Magnet
It's.
Brent Tucker
It's been tough in here. A magnet. He's. I see you took off your brace, but you.

Brent Tucker
You took your sling off your sling. Oh, you don't. You didn't tear your bicep Muscle how about the other one? How's the other one? Looking good. Okay.
Drew
Raise your right hand if you're having a good day.
Brent Tucker
Oh, man. But that is. That is.
Magnet
Accidents happen.
Brent Tucker
That is so it. It's. It's been tough, but there's. There's no. There's no good cause. Well, that's not true. There's a. There's a lot of cause for celebration. There always is. Is in life. But e. Even then, you have to take a step back and. And remember the bad times. And you have to remember the fallen. And that is exactly what we're going to do tonight, August 6th, which is this exact day. But 15 years ago in 2011, we had the. What was the history of special operations worst day. And we're going to talk about that. We're not going to forget those guys. And we're going to commemorate them. Drew, let's go ahead and play a video.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Sa. My mama sitting there. Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here. I sure wish I could give you one more kiss. War was just a game we played when we were kids. Well, I'm laying down my gun I'm hanging up my boots I'm up here with God and we're both watching over you so lay me down in that open field out on the edge of
Magnet

Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
and oh, my soul it's where my mom always pray that it would go if you're reading it, yes, I'm already home. Fury is halfway around the world
Drew
I
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)

Drew

Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
where my mom always prayed that it would go if you're in this, I'm already home. If you're reading this, there's gonna come a day when you move on and find someone else. And that's okay. Just remember this I'm in a better place where soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace for lay me. In that open field out on the edge of. My soul it's where my mom always prayed that it would go if you're reading this if you're reading this, I'm already home.
Drew
With error.
Brent Tucker
For word, press. This one's to the fallen warriors of extortion. 17. Come get you Some magnet.
Drew
Of course.
Brent Tucker
I just got smoke in my eyes. That's all it is. Smoke from the CIGAR. There are 25American special operators on that crew that went down. Mostly tier one operators from Seal Team 6, Gold Squadron 2 troop, five aviators, eight Afghans were also on that. Seven commandos, an interpreter and as well as a canine, for a total of 38. To put that in perspective, Red Wings, which was another absolute travesty and as horrible as Red Wings was, and it's not to compare tragedies at one's worse than the other, but it just puts it in perspective. Three Navy SEALs died on the ground, eight Navy SEALs died in the helicopter, and eight aviators were in that bird from the 1 60th, bringing up a total of 16. So if you want to know exactly how bad Extortion 17 was, it was, it was twice as bad. The, and it was really horrible because SEAL Team six was kind of on, on top of the world. Just three months prior to that, they had taken out Osama bin Laden on a historic mission only to have that rug pulled out from under their feet with one of the, or the worst days in all special operation history. There's a bad conspiracy about the guys on that bird being the, the same guys from the UBL raid. Conspiracies are always stupid and grounded in nothing.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
Thinking that they were going to. It was their way of silencing the guys on the UBL raid. That's clearly not true. Just goes to show how stupid most conspiracy theories are. Like I already said, it was from Gold Squadron 2 troop and essentially removed a complete troop out of a tier one element. Another thing that, that, that, that people get wrong. But it's, it's, it's part of the narrative. And we've, we've had people on this show to, to expose that. And part of it, people have said before that they were there as a QRF element to the Rangers because the Rangers run a hard way and needed saving. And that's actually not true. It's believed that, that they're actually going after a high value target that had squirted from the objective and they had launched to go recover or do what they do to high value targets. So you know, the Rangers that were there, we were never in a tick. We were never calling in for, for help. We had everything covered. So the high value target was, was not there. That's a safe assumption of what's going on. I've heard that from multiple different sources. But in the day, I don't know that A hundred percent sure. But I'm, I'm, I'm fairly certain that's actually why they launched. And if you think about it, I, I, I think helo crashes are the hardest to accept because these were arguably some of the greatest war fighters America had to offer. And they could probably, those, Those group of 38 men probably could have held off an enemy battalion, but in a helo, there's, there's nothing they could do. They never got a chance to fight. They never got a chance to, to meet the enemy that they trained their whole lives were, they were, they were stuck. And that Hilo, and it just, it seems like a, a massive, massive tragedy because it is, it absolutely is. So 15 years later, every, of course we give the SEALs a hard time. We do it out of love. I love those guys. I love those guys. There's some of the, some of the greatest Americans you will ever meet and on the tier one side to be some of the greatest Americans you'll ever get a chance to meet. And every year we will ensure that extortion 17 is remembered. I thought it, in fact, let's, I was going to do a little bit of Navy SEAL history and in honor of the Navy seals and see exactly how it, how it came about. How did we get. What was their humble beginnings? Every, every special operation unit has one. And how do they get to become the legendary SEAL Team Six that they are? And we're going to go through that here in a second. But before we get to some history, let's go to some super chats. Drew.
Drew
Got it, man. Well, I'd like to add, just because of that, you know, expensive cost of American blood for anyone to say that Iran is a silly and stupid and needless war. They don't know their history. They don't know the connections. They don't know how the IRGC has their hands and all of these things because they were, they, they were Iranian back this, what are they? The Ha, what are they called? The Haqqani or something like that network.
Brent Tucker
The, It's, I mean, just to put it over in perspective as, as much as you may not have liked about the Afghan war, and there's plenty not to like, I just got done reading the book About Face by the Colonel David Hackworth. And I know you guys have talked about him a lot on this and have encouraged me to read that book. I finally got around to it. I think I read it in about three days. I put off a lot of work that I should have been doing because the story was amazing. And I, I absolutely mowed through that book. What's absolutely insane about that book is In David Hackworth's 10 Silver Stars, I believe he had 10 or 11, his equal number of Purple Hearts. It wasn't any of that. It was that when he got to Afghanistan and by the end. Oh, gosh, I actually confused it when he got to Vietnam, by the end of Vietnam, as much as he loved war and he did as good as he was at war, and he was everything that was going on and going wrong in Vietnam in that book and his synopsis of it, you could have replaced everything he said about the Vietnam, the Vietnam War, with the war in Afghanistan, and you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference from pathetic leadership to careerism to being dishonest to the American public about the ground truth to allowing safe havens to be had. Everything. It's like we learned nothing. And I'm bringing this around to Iran because I believe what we're doing with Iran is justified. They've killed a lot of Americans. They've killed a lot of Americans. And guess what? You can't kill Americans. You, you can't do it. That's the message we have to send to Iran. And, and I believe we're doing it the right way. We're not committing hundreds of thousands of ground troops into a. It's almost like we learned something, and we're like, hey, why don't we try something different? So I believe Iran should be done. The American public has no patience ever. And they'd have even less patience if a massive amount of, of casualties were happening. And I think this is what we're supposed to do. I think we're just supposed to absolutely bring people to their knees with, with our strong points. And, and we have the world's greatest military ground troops in reserve in case we need them. So that's. That. That is a good point, Drew. And I think, and, and people are complaining about it, and we're doing, and we're doing it right this time, and we're doing it for the right reasons. And we're doing it for the right reasons. Someone, people want to say Afghanistan really had nothing to do with 9 11. Well, that's crazy. But I, I, if, if we're having, if we're having a real adult conversation about it, I, I can, I can see your point. Okay. But Iran's been poking us in the eye since the late 70s, and, and they found. And they finally got it. So let's do one thing. We've never Done. And let's take care of a problem because before it's a major problem and
Drew
they've funded all, all of our problems just about in the Middle east.
Brent Tucker
Absolutely.
Drew
Solely. 1, 2, 3, 4. First again says if U. S had won an Afghan Afghanistan, should Taliban like Those responsible for extortion 17 Unbelievable.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, unbelievable.
Drew
Meaning my, my Internet wiped out on me says should Taliban like Those responsible for extortion 17 have been executed or imprisoned or reintegrated into society?
Brent Tucker
You know that's a, if, if we step, I mean of course I have a knee jerk reaction that wants to say no, we, we catch those guys. We, you, you hang them in, in the public square. But I think, I don't know. That's a good question. A part of me, part of me of course wants to say that there's another part of me that says you, you want to know why America's so great is because they, they could have done that to the south after the civil war. They could have.
Drew
Right.
Brent Tucker
Called them all traitors and terrorists and went and rounded up everyone and executed everyone. That's right, yeah. Instead they said no, we, we unders. We weren't happy about it. But end of the day if we're going to make this a nation, we got to come together and do that. So I don't know. That is, that is a very, very hard question. It would really depend really what the. Rounding them up and talking to them and, and seeing where their mindset is. If, if they're die hards over it, the diehards have to be removed. The same thing in every and all those historical situations I was talking about. Yeah. So yeah, that's a great question.
Drew
You never know. Some of the behind the scenes stuff, right. Like there could, there could be young men that are like, well, if I didn't do what they told me to do, you know, they, they, they knew where my family lived.
Magnet
Right.
Drew
You know that stuff goes on.
Brent Tucker
I think about it, had I been born in Afghanistan I probably would have been part of the Taliban and I was a terrorist. Yeah. So there, there are, there are things, there are things to, to think about. And I think that's a, that's a tough question. I think it's a good question. It's a tough one.
Drew
So he says Taliban lucky or skilled to cause extortion 17 you always got
Brent Tucker
to be a little bit of both. Yeah, you always got to be a little both. And, and this isn't, this isn't casting shade. This is, this is us having to, having to learn from things and, and make sure we don't make the same mistake twice. We there, there were mistakes made on, on the infill platform, you know, reusing avenues of approach, reusing similar LZs, the same things that haunted us during Red Wings. And we just, we have to honor these men and we also have to learn from it.
Drew
How should us public treat veterans and remember their wars? Are they obligated to act in certain ways? Are the public obligated to act in certain ways?
Brent Tucker
Yeah, you're. To me, I'd say you're obligated to act like decent Americans. You're obligated to come together as of people and say, and put your petty differences aside. I'm not, I'm not wrong. Wrong is wrong and, and right is right. But put petty differences aside and come together for the great of this, for the better of this nation. Because if this nation goes down, everything, everything I did in war was for nothing. Everything those guys didn't. War was for nothing. And every single loss in a war was for nothing. If this country goes down and
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
we're,
Brent Tucker
we're not on, we're not on the path I think that, that we should be on. And so I don't think it's too late, but at some point it will be. So, yeah, that's, that's your obligation is to be great Americans. That's the only obligation. You don't owe me a thank you for your service. You don't owe me anything. Be a great American.
Magnet
Yeah, I think if you disagree with the war, you can disagree all you want, but don't disagree with the men and women that go over there and fight and sign the paper that you didn't want to sign. Go and do. And I think we learned that from the Vietnam War when the people were protesting, the warriors that went over there and did what they signed up to do.
Brent Tucker
Now, I was talking to a MACV soft guy on the phone just a couple of days ago, trying to get him on the podcast. A little bit of a pre interview, if you will. And America has, has done better about that. But I hate to say it was at the expense of our veterans from, from Vietnam. And that does show one thing about America. Like America can have change. Like, America treated those guys so poorly. And because they treat them so poorly, I got treated better than I deserved because the pendulum swung so far. But I hate that those guys who were just obeying orders had to go through that in order for that to be corrected.
Drew
All right, there's Darren Behee, Bo from the pretty good state of Texas. Once again, Bo saved the dang day. Brent Tucker had the situation completely under control right up until he didn't. Fortunately, the old bow was standing by to provide adult supervision. You're welcome. No need to thank me publicly. Patreon will do just fine. Outro 5 minute alone by Pantera okay,
Brent Tucker
let me tell you what that's all about. The Bo called me and asked if there was gonna be a life tonight. I'm like, yeah, there'll be a life tonight. He goes, I, I don't see it on YouTube as an upcoming event. And this was like, at six o'. Clock. This is like two hours ago, maybe three hours ago at best.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
And I said, oh, my gosh. Between, you know, Tyler Gray having to reschedule to the 27th and trying to get ready, you know, for, for this short notice live, you know, having to change everything, I was like, I forgot to essentially schedule the live on, on YouTube. If Beau hadn't called me, we'd have been. Drew, you'd have been scheduling that at, at the desk at 8 o' clock when you found out there was no button to, to push. It said go live.
Drew
Right? Yeah, I saw it was made at 6, 10. I was like, that's a little late.
Brent Tucker
Thank you, Bo.
Magnet
People were asking me and I was
Brent Tucker
like, I should have, I should have got the hint when someone on Patreon asked, is there going to be a life tonight? And I didn't connect the dots. And I didn't even connect the dots when Bo asked me until he goes, well, I don't see one coming up, like. And I thought immediately that's why they were asking on the Patreon when you texted Drew and I, thank you, Bo.
Magnet
All right, you got this one, Bo.
Drew
That's right at the fourth option. Says Thursday nights for the boys. Moment of silence for the extortion 17 and those gold star families. Absolutely, absolutely holy folks, says Brent. So when are you going to reenlist so you can become an astronaut and gain that half inch back you so desperately want? Also, any height requirements to ride on a helicopter? Like six foot more.
Brent Tucker
Let me tell you, ever, ever since we had the tape, we'll call it the tape measure incident of, of 2026, the Patreon has been absolutely destroying me and my height. I, I, I'm six foot. It's funny, I'm six foot.
Drew
Six foot enough, boys. Six foot enough. Ten years ago, Let's see, he was 6 foot before all those heavy rucksacks. All right, Holy folks says Brent. No, tonight is about extortion. 17, I wanted to mention breaking news from Northern Ireland. The IRA Catholics and the UVF U D A Protestants are now cooperating, sharing intel to fight the Islamic invasion. Nice.
Brent Tucker
Remember when I said put our petty differences aside. Yeah. And come together for things that matters.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
Let me tell you, fighting, fighting Islam matters.
Drew
Matters.
Brent Tucker
That, that and then when, when that's done. And I get it, like everyone, you should, you should always struggle and you should always push for a more perfect union. But it seems like we're, we're fighting over things, like just ridiculous things. And we'll talk about this later to some point about transgenders and the wnba when we have Islam actively trying to take over our cities in towns.
Drew
Yeah. It's like the distraction of the Coliseum all over again. I mean, it's just, it's crazy.
Magnet
I don't know how much DJ Shipley's gotten from his video that he posted.
Brent Tucker
Oh, yeah, he, he went after him hard did. And I was, and I was glad to see that. I was glad to see that. And. Yeah. And it's just. Yeah. Again. Well, we want to talk about it here after the break with the Sophie Cunningham w WNBA saga. Obviously I have a lot to say about that, but we'll, we'll save that for after the break.
Drew
You know, Lord David sent me a video on Instagram this week and it was this British dude that was like, do I regret like not fighting for my country? He's like, heck no, I don't regret fighting for my country. And he said, he said, I feel sorry for all those guys that went out and did fight for this country. And yeah, we're not speaking German anymore, but we're all but losing our country. We're going to go out as Brits and fight for our country. And fight for what? While we allow this invasion to take place on our land. It's insanity.
Brent Tucker
And it's a two front invasion. It's a two front invasion between the Islamification of Americans that are doing it legally, although I would say immorally, because the, the, the Quran and Sharia law cannot live side by side with the American Constitution and the American way of life. It's just, it's just a fact of life.
Drew
Can't do it.
Brent Tucker
And the other invasion that's happening is, is, is at our borders. Of course, everyone saw what happened to Spain this week where they had about 80000 people come storm one of their islands because their supreme court did something so stupid and so aloof. And thought, well, this isn't going to affect us. But it definitely affected parts of Spain where 80,000 illegal. Well, actually legal immigrants. Because the Supreme Court just passed in Spain that if you arrive on their land, even by sea, you have refuge and protection. And so people from, I believe it was Morocco just basically swam the shortest distance to the little island right there on boats or swam and rafts and completely invaded. Invaded that town and have completely taken. It's nothing but chaos. And it was done legally by their own dumb Supreme Court that allowed it to happen. Thinking people are going to take advantage of our system. That's all they do is take advantage of your system. And that's what's happening to us. They're taking advantage of our system as well.
Drew
Yeah, yeah. Just another 11. Bravo says a two year subscription to Spotify is cheaper than requesting an outro. Here's for the beard die fund. I'll buy some beard. Beard dye for sure, man. Thank you so much.
Brent Tucker
It went black again. And I'll tell you, that dark brown label was full of crap. That's a lie. Yeah, that's a lie.
Drew
It matches your shirt well, though.
Brent Tucker
Thank you.
Drew
Well, that's good on you.
Brent Tucker
Thank you.
Drew
Looks good on you. You finally look like the younger brother. Let's see. But you're still the taller one. Zubi4713 says, Brent, you're trapped between Trump and Netanyahu. You going forward or backward? Just say, excuse me. Huh?
Brent Tucker
Who's in front of me? Who's behind me? Going towards Trump. Going towards Trump.
Drew
All right. Gucci Parmesan. No funny remarks from me this time. Somber day. Yet grateful to traverse along the same ground as my heroes. Heroes that fought, bled, and paid the ultimate sacrifice, saying an extra prayer for the extortion families tonight.
Brent Tucker
They need it. I assure you. Fifteen years later, it still hurts them. It hurts them every day. It's hurt them every day for 15 years. It's hurt their teammates every day for 15 years. And that's a pain that I don't believe ever completely heals.
Drew
Bonjour, compadre. It's the Priceline negotiator. How do I negotiate so many great travel deals? My greatest gadget, the Priceline app. It's got hotel deals, flight deals, rental car deals, all of those deals in a bundle deals, game day deals, concert trip deals. No one deals more deals than Priceline. Hold your horses, there's more. The app lets you filter hotels by neighborhood vibe, star level and amenities like pools and spas and beachfronts and. Wait I'm not done. Stop cutting me up. Price slide.
Brent Tucker
Hey, I just Venmo'd you for rent.
Magnet
Nice. Now I can instantly spend it whether I'm checking out online with Venmo or using a Venmo debit card. Say more. More.
Drew
Exactly.
Magnet
Because the more you do with Venmo, the more you get, like earning up to 5% cash back with Venmo Stash on a bundle of brands.
Brent Tucker
So order more pizza.
Magnet
The meth demands it.

Drew
No. No, it doesn't. Captain Glory Prayers for the Fallen of Extortion 17. Hey, Brent, any plans to have DJ Shipley on the show? Cheers, gents. Raising a glass for these fallen warriors.
Brent Tucker
Absolutely. Yeah. I. I don't know why. I don't. I haven't really pushed them or really even asked him to come on the show, but I didn't because we were so full of guests for a while. But it's starting to. Started to get thin again. And me and me and our scheduler was just talking about this. It's about time to ask him to come on the show.
Drew
Bacon Forged says we all remember. Hashtag tape measure gate Thursday night for the Patriots.
Brent Tucker
He gets it. Thank you, Bacon Forge.
Drew
That's a good one. JT says, Brent, would you consider the bomber crews from the Doolittle raid on Tokyo the precursors to the 160th sword?
Brent Tucker
Ooh, I don't know if I consider them a precursor per se, but I. But I know. I see exactly what. What you're getting at there. Here's. Here's another great comparison. Someone sent me some on the. On the Patreon, and they're like, hey, you probably don't have time for another 90 minute video, but. But watch it. This is probably the first. Do you think this is the first Green Beret? And they sent me a. A video of what's his something, the electrician. What's his name? The. Come on. It's something something, the electrician. He has. He's like a million followers on. On YouTube. But anyway, it was about. So he kind of caught my. My interest. And the video was about the swamp fox, Francis Marion. And. And I was like. And he's. And his guerrilla warfare tactics that he waged in the Revolutionary War.
Drew
Fat electrician.
Brent Tucker
The fat electrician. Thing I almost. That's kind of what I thought it was. But I was like that. I was, I was nervous that it wasn't right. So I didn't want to say something.
Drew
Kelvin Smith gave it to us in the chats.
Brent Tucker
Thank you. And you know what? I don't believe I would call him the first Green Beret, but again I like or the, our roots were founded in that. An argument probably could be made about that. But I think, I think they're great comparisons. And, and, and I agree with that. It's, it's a great comparison.
Drew
All right, James McIntyre says Drew got rid of his party in the back. All right. For those just tuned in. Yes, there it is. There's the cut.
Brent Tucker
Let's, let's pause it real quick and let's, let's get back to it. It's already 8:30. Man. I can't believe it goes, it goes so fast. But I want to talk a little bit more about the Navy SEALs and brag on my brothers from the water and just talk a little bit of history and how, how we got from. How we got from the beginning of it to the amazing men of Seal Team 6. Their war origins can be taken all the way back to scouts and raiders, Naval Command demolition units. UDT units of course is a big one and OSS Maritime unit. All those played a part and the culture and the forming of a maritime special operations unit. Of course of that the udts are the most. The UDT frogman if you will, are the kind of more clear answer of where they really came from. Most of those UDT frogmen didn't, didn't even carry weapons. They didn't need weapons. They were, they were clearing underwater mines, obstacles. A weapon if you really think about that. I never thought about that until I was watching a few videos of it and it just goes like a weapon is fairly useless in their job because their job is to remove things and they're, and they're not offensive. Of course you always want to be able to defend yourself. But a weapon in that situation is also almost more detrimental than it is a good for you because your job is to remove things and have a weapon always on your back dragging you down in the way. It's kind of crazy. They had knives and, and they did some amazing, amazing things These. The udts did. They gave important information as well, like water depth like we had to know the depth of, of waters to plan out these inv. They had no reefs and obstacles, beach conditions poss. They gave possible landing routes and they still reported back on enemy defenses. They did so much in World War II for invasions and for the defeat of, of of the Germans in World War II. Of course, in Korean War, UDTs became Rangers. And this is where they, they really kind of become a little bit more offensive or go a little bit further than just a bls. They expanded beyond traditional beach reconnaissance. The band conducted missions that looked increasingly more like modern special operations. Coastal raids, demolition, infiltration, reconnaissance, and attacks against infrastructure. And attacks. Its infrastructure is huge. As a conventional force, there's always reinforcements that you have to worry about. Have a small team take out a bridge. No reinforcements. You want to slowly starve, if you will, whether that be food, ammunitions, logistical support, remove a bridge. That's a massive, massive piece. And in war holistically, and those guys did just that. President Kennedy, who is, who was a huge instrument in creating the Green Berets, was also instrumental and believed in special operations. He was instrumental and bringing about the seals as well. Kennedy was a major advocate for expanding American unconventional warfare capabilities. The Cold War intensified. So at that point, with that, the direction of the President, the Navy created SEAL Team 1, who operated under the Pacific Fleet and SEAL Team 2 under the Atlantic Fleet. And, and then that's where they got their, their name. Seal, Sea, air and land. Unlike the udt, seals were supposed, weren't supposed to concentrate primarily on fibus demolition. They were intended to conduct unconventional warfare and special operations deep inside hostile territory. Well, not to the n. The Navy SEAL Museum. I found, I found out something really cool. The udts, their origins for where they were doing their initial training was, and I believe it was Fort Pierce was in Florida. And when they found out these guys were going through having to deal with high stress environments, they put them through something to try to simulate those high stress environments. And what do you think they created to try to weed out guys who couldn't make it through high stress environments? Buds Close, close selection. Hell Week they created. Hell Week it is.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
And Hell Week from the udts transferred over to the Navy seals. Of course, the seals did amazing things in Vietnam especially, I won't say that especially if you read Dick Marcinko's book, but that's, that's a podcast for another time. We're only doing positive things here. And the seals, of course in Vietnam include a reconnaissance, intelligence gathering, ambushes, raids, prisoner capture, personal recovery operations against Viet Cong infrastructure, and direct action missions. They were called men with the green faces. And that's really where they started their, their culture of just really being Sneaky, really being good at their job. Surprising. Coming out of the shadows with the shadows of the water. Whether we. The shadows of. Of night. And the SEALs had several medal of Honor recipients out of Vietnam, of course, and the post Vietnam era. We had Operation Eagle Claw, which was the failed Iranian hostage rescue mission. Of course it didn't have anything to do with Delta Force. It had to do with the, the joint way in which we're conducting the mission. And Richard Marcinko saw that and said, hey, you know what? We, we really need to beef up our counter terrorism capabilities and proposed Seal Team 6. And he got the green light on that. So Delta force was. In 1977 and 1980, Commander Richard Marcinko was selected to create a specialized Navy Counter terrorism unit. The result was Seal Team 6. The name was deliberately misleading. There were only Seal Team 1 and 2 at the time. But Marcinko reportedly chose 6 partly to confuse the Soviet intelligence about how many teams actually existed. Which was. Was great on him because that is a trick out of the old playbook. Our. I can't believe I'm forgetting his name. I'm gonna think it here in just a second. But the founder of the Green Berets, the same thing with Special Forces. The very first Special forces Group was 10th Special Forces Group because we wanted the world to think we had nine other groups just like this.
Drew
Nice.
Brent Tucker
So even in their naming convention, they had psychological warfare and special operations in mind. And it's a great thing. So they were part of and, and from and from there, like our tier one units, they got better and better and better. We, we use them in Operation Just cause in Panama, we use them in Desert Storm. They don't get a lot of credit because they, because it wasn't the same thing as what happened the Delta Force. But they were also there supporting Gothic Serpent in Somalia and of course in Afghanistan 2001. And for the next almost two two decades. They did amazing things on the war on terror and they took a heavy, heavy price for defending this country and for going after America's enemies with tenacity. Make no mistake about it. Make no mistake about it. No unit is perfect. Units are comprised of imperfect people. The SEAL community is absolutely, like I said before, chock full of amazing Americans. You may know a few bad stories. Guess what? You haven't heard the thousands of good stories. You haven't heard the hundreds and hundreds of the ultimate sacrifice of men going above and beyond and doing it with a trident on their chest. We are a better country because we have the seals and I, I couldn't imagine going to war without them, to be honest with you. I couldn't imagine going to war without the seals. Every one of our special operation units serve its, its own purpose. And the seals, absolutely, absolutely serve their purpose. So that is a history of the seals and how, how we got those great men, those great men that. Of extortion. 17 that pulley that paid the ultimate sacrifice. We're going to continue taking some super chats before we, before we move on. There's someone else in the first responder community that paid the ultimate sacrifice and we'll mention him on the second hour. We'll, we'll turn to some, some more jovial content. But this first hour is going to be all about remembrance. And, and if you missed the opening song, we're, we're gonna play it again. Before we take our final break into the second hour, let's go back to super chats. I'm sorry for this, for the somber, almost down attitude this, this evening, but respect and remembrance is exactly what those boys deserve.
Drew
Yeah. Yeah, we gotta, we gotta do it from time to time. For sure. Caleb 74 says, Will we ever get a Tate Jolly podcast or a Benghazi one with delta story simplify?
Brent Tucker
I hope so.
Drew
RIP E17.
Brent Tucker
I hope so.
Drew
D Peachy says, believe it or not, just saw two B2 bombers fly over my house. Really nice. Hope you're not in Iran.
Brent Tucker
True.
Drew
Hey man, it's always cool to see a B2 bomber. It's just all to fly over his house.
Brent Tucker
Unless you're all right. Yeah.
Drew
All right. All depends where you're at. Location, location, location. All right. North, southeast west says, thank you for the love, man. Thank you very much. Says God bless the Warriors. And then his second super chat. Even those under six feet,
Magnet
which is
Drew
a lot of them.
Brent Tucker
I think you misread that. I think he meant to say, even though six feet under.
Drew
I thought he was talking about your height.
Brent Tucker
No, I'm six foot. He wouldn't be talking about me.
Drew
He's six foot enough.
Brent Tucker
All right.
Magnet
I'm six foot two.
Drew
He would have also. He would have said especially those. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, I, I read it.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Right.
Drew
I'm good.
Magnet
Thank you.
Drew
North, southeast West. Appreciate that. Trey025 says you should have Eddie Penny on the show.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, I've had people reach out to him. I reached out to him through Instagram again. I'd love to have Eddie Penny on the show. That's a great story.
Drew
Half sack full of Nades says for the boys Glad to see. Glad to be here with you Legends tonight. Outro song for 50 bucks. Whatever the heck Brent wants. I don't think anybody's ever done that.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
What?
Drew
That's a first. Oh, man, look at that.
Magnet
Well, he's playing Saving Ben.
Drew
Look at that. No, I don't think anybody's ever did that for Brent.
Brent Tucker
Whatever I want. All right.
Magnet
He's going to be playing Raining Men tonight.
Drew
What was it?
Brent Tucker
Remember the last podcast, everyone? Something happened with the Outro song. Everyone hopped on it. They really wanted Tyler to sing. Oh, it was the Eddie Murphy song.
Drew
Party all the time. Was it? Party all the time.
Brent Tucker
They wanted to sing it.
Drew
They were always winning.
Magnet
Time.
Brent Tucker
No, not Mike Tyson.
Magnet
And one time.
Brent Tucker
He did it. Eddie Murphy. Okay, one time.
Magnet
Good for him.
Drew
He did it.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, he did.
Drew
All right. Holy fook says Drew. Did you ever consider joining the military as a chaplain? All right, actually I did probably back in around 2009, 2010. And. And our youngest brother at the time was actually a recruiter and I actually talked to him about it and I believe both of my brothers talked me out of it. I was just thinking about it wasn't real serious, but they know me and they're like, drew, we know how you are about truth. And a military chaplain might not be the best fit for you because you gotta. You kind of gotta play well with. With others and be very, very open.
Magnet
Open.
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Drew
Yeah. To a lot of stuff. So anyway, yeah.
Brent Tucker
Can't be as dogmatic about the truth as you are.
Drew
Yeah. Hey, not to say there's not any great chaplains out there that are very dogmatic about the truth. Just they knew my personality. Didn't think it'd be a good fit. So we'll see. I trust I trusted their wisdom. See where we at here, sky soldier? I do believe that's a family member. Brent, is it? Yeah. If I'm not mistaken, that is our nephew, but I could be mistaken.
Brent Tucker
Which one?
Drew
Well, I mean, I don't know if I should say.
Brent Tucker
Okay, I.
Drew
If I get permission to say then, then I'll say, brent, would you ever shake down an 80 year old lady for a dollar for stealing? Oh, he knows something that now we know it's family. Let's say a of piece plant from your dad's business. Theoretically.
Brent Tucker
Okay.
Drew
Oh, that's a funny story.
Brent Tucker
A little bit of story time from the old family business. I'm a. I'm a young buck, very respectful of. Of my elders because I had great parents and I was at the Deland feed store and this old, like 80 year old lady comes in and asks how much for this single tomato plant? Something like that. I can't remember what plant it was. And I was, it's a dollar. And she goes, oh, that's too much. And she literally waddles out. I mean, she was old. And I was like, all right. I mean, it happens. I mean, prices have gone up since, since the forties. No big deal. You win some, you lose some. And I see that she had left the car keys, the keys of the car on the counter. I was like, oh, well, I'll have to go out there. And she's not going to go far without these. As I go outside to give her her keys, I what I expect before I open the door, I can see her. And she has the plant still in her hand. And instead of putting it back on the shelf because the plants were outside, like in a cage, she was like, well, that's too expensive. So I'm just gonna drive off with it. And she's trying and she puts, she takes the plant, she goes in the car and she's looking for her keys in her purse and looking and looking and looking. And I have her keys in my hand and I have to walk out there knowing this old lady is red handed. Caught stealing like a dollar plant and go, ma', am, are you looking for these keys? And she goes, oh, thank you so much. I said, and I think you forgot to pay for that plant. And she looked, her face went beet red. She was, oh, I didn't know I still had it. No, no, you can have it back. She knew what she was doing. She knew what she was doing. Yeah.
Drew
Yeah. That's a world changer. When you watch my heart. Yeah. When you see an older person like that just totally.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, that one hurt my heart. It just, it's just criminal. Yeah, go criminal.
Magnet
Yeah.
Drew
Oh, man, that was crazy. Oh, we got some feed store stories. We got some feed store stories. Anyway, holy fook, says Brent. You're always saying Florida is the G shine state, but where's the evidence? I don't know. Might be behind him. Part one is in the next super chat.
Brent Tucker
I think it was in Patreon that someone brought this up and they were talking about gun statistics and who owned the most guns.
Drew
Oh, okay.
Magnet
They were.
Brent Tucker
You think the boys in Florida register their guns? Okay, not all of them. Okay. Bold, bold strategy.
Magnet
Holy food. What state do you live in? Didn't you guys.
Brent Tucker
All right, he said that was part one. We'll see what else he's Got one.
Magnet
Didn't they just have a AR man in Colorado, where you live?
Brent Tucker
An AR man?
Magnet
AR band.
Brent Tucker
An AR band. We'll see. We'll see what he's got to say next.
Drew
We'll see, we'll see. All right. Trey says I still want to hear Brent saying Mother by Dan Zig.
Brent Tucker
That's a good song.
Drew
That's a good song.
Brent Tucker
But it's going to take more than 10.
Drew
It's gonna take more than 10.
Brent Tucker
Holy Fuchs back. Let's get to it, Drew.
Drew
He says according to Ammo Pew Pew ownership by state, in 2026, Montana is number one, Texas is 27, and Florida is 40.
Brent Tucker
Me too, Magnet.
Drew
Sad day, Bud.
Brent Tucker
Let me know just real quick. The popular. Look it up. The population of man of Montana and the population of Florida. Just real quick. All right, While. While he's doing that. Let me tell you right now, that was.
Drew
Are those percentages or numbers?
Brent Tucker
There's no way. Yeah, right. Maybe percentage. But just off, just off the, the top of my head there, let me tell you what Montana is number one about. Registering their guns. There is no way. You're telling me Montana and Florida go to a war and you think Montana's got more guns in Florida. You got.
Drew
No.
Brent Tucker
You want to. You want to put money on that? Yeah, it holy. Is it holy? Yeah. Holy fook. You're standing. You're standing at the middle of the battleground. You can go left to go to Montana, you can go right to go to Florida. And let me tell you which way you're going. You're going right because you don't believe your own statistics.
Magnet
Florida has a population of 23.46 million people.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Okay.
Magnet
Making it the third largest state. Montana has a population of about 1.14.
Brent Tucker
20 times. We're 20 times the state. And you think Montana has more guns?
Drew
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
All right.
Brent Tucker
Holy fook. Come. Come back and let us know what you think about those allegations we've brought back to you.
Drew
So when you only have a million people in the state in that statistic, you can. You can make statistics do all kinds of stuff you want to. So in that statistic, you probably have more percentage in your population as gun owners because you have a lot smaller group of people. So it's probably. Those statistics are probably by percentage. Definitely not by numbers.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, probably not. Probably not a bad take that, Drew. It is. It is 8:54. I know that that video we showed earlier is about four to five minutes. That'll take us right to 9 o'. Clock. And like I said that that's kind of really what I wanted to do with the extortion thing. I want. I wanted to honor those men. I want to talk about the history of the seals and tell everyone how amazing they are. And we're going to put another book in on this in case you miss it. I know a lot of people come in, you know, 10 minutes into the show and didn't see it. And before we go into break, I want that to be the last thing we do. Drew, can you. Can you queue up that one more time for us? And that'll take us into the break?
Drew
I'm. I'm sorry. I was in the middle of something. You. You want to go back to the.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, I want to go back.
Drew
Already played.
Brent Tucker
Yes, I do. I do. Please. Oh, did you take. Did you.
Drew
Sorry, I didn't know we were going to do it again. I'm sorry.
Brent Tucker
That's all right. While you're doing that, I'll go back to the super chats. Did you know any rangers on the recovery? I believe you're talking about the extortion 17 recovery. And yes, we did have a unit guy that was there, and he said it was absolutely. It was tough. We'll. We'll just say that drew you on it. That was quick.
Drew
Almost on it here.
Brent Tucker
You're almost. You're almost like a real producer sometimes, you know? Almost. There you go. He's got it. One more time, guys. Timberland Pro knows that NASCAR starts long before the green flag waves, because behind every race are the doers, the people
Drew

Hey, as we switch gears, I said we'd, we'd move on a little bit to some more, more uplifting things because in the day, you know what those guys don't, don't want. They didn't want anyone to remain being sad. They want you to go on and live your life. They want you to enjoy the American dream even though they couldn't. I guarantee that. And that's exactly what we plan on doing today. We'll give remembrance where it's due and then we will push forward with the best version of ourself. But that being said, our first responders across this country still continue to answer the call. Andrew, let's go over there to the next tab over. Over with the fallen Las Vegas Metro.
Drew
Nope.
Brent Tucker
There you go. It is remembering. Thank you, Drew. You got it. We're going to be remembering Officer Austin Abdelnabi of the Metropolitan Las Vegas Police. As in the watch was just a few days ago. 8, 4, 2, 6. Let's read his story real quick, Drew. The Las Vegas Metro Police officer killed in a shooting Tuesday was ambushed by suspect and piece of crap, Clark County Sheriff Kevin McHale said during a press conference Wednesday. On Tuesday, Aug. 4, Officer Austin Abdelnabi, 30, was killed in the line of duty while responding to a report of a person with a gun acting erratically and waving a firearm in the air at a business and the 4500 block of East Tropicana Avenue near I11. Abdel Nabi was a U.S. marine veteran. This man's a servant, has been serving his whole adult life, it seems like who had been with the department since November 2023. Abdul Nabi had studied at Clemson University with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and Law enforcement administration from 2018 to 2022. And there he is right there, protecting his community against a garbage of a human being. And he paid the ultimate sacrifice to make sure others, innocent people would not have to suffer the same consequences. And for this, we remember this amazing officer and former Marine. Well, here we go again. And this one's to him with a moment of silence after. Go, Magnet with your good arm.
Magnet
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
We'll continue to support our first responders for the amazing things and the sacrifices they do, just like that. And I hope you guys continue to support this show. I know you can go other places and get some laughs and be a little more entertaining at times. I hope we provide you plenty of that. But I also hope we provide you for the seriousness of what amazing men do for this nation and what our police officers do inside this nation.
Drew
Tier one men, Brent, they know.
Brent Tucker
Absolutely.
Drew
They know when to have a good time, and they also know when it's time to be serious, when it's time
Brent Tucker
to throttle back a little bit. Speaking of active shooters, you're already on it earlier. Let's go over to the Idaho, in and out shooting. And let's. Let's play this. Let's play this video, Drew, that I believe is embedded in inside there. And they're interviewing the shooter. The shooter? I say the shooter. The civilian, the good guy shooter himself. That. That answered the call as a private citizen. This is the good guy here with that suppressor.
Magnet
There he is. Is that a shamak?
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Magnet
What?
Brent Tucker
Introducing Meta glasses. You have questions. They've got answers.
Magnet
Hey, Meta, what's the capital of Peru?
Drew
Lima. How do you say where's the restroom in Spanish? Dondes. Hey, Mera, is a hot dog a sandwich?
Brent Tucker
Technically, no. Spiritually, yes. Hey, Meta, what should I do with my life?
Drew
That's one of life's biggest questions. What do you think?
Brent Tucker
Ask anything with the new meta glasses.
Drew
Bonjour, compadre. It's the Priceline negotiator. How do I negotiate so many great travel deals? My greatest gadget, the Priceline app. It's got hotel deals, flight deals, rental car deals, all of those deals in a bundle deals, game day deals, concert trip deals. No one deals more deals than Priceline. Hold your horses.
Magnet
There's more.
Drew
The app lets you filter hotels by neighborhood vibe, star level, and amenities like pools and spas and beachfronts and. Wait, I'm not done. Stop cutting me up. Priceline.
Brent Tucker
What is.
Drew
Drew, they're saying there's no sound.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Oh, no.
Drew
How is that possible?
Brent Tucker
Well, you guys saw the video while he works on that. I could hear it. Anyway, this guy, I believe his name was Joseph Salinas. Was his name. Two hours there from his place. There was a mall shooting, and he had. He had promised himself that, that'll never happen to him and he'll be able to protect himself. And he got a gun and started training. And for two years this is every, I think concealed carry owner's dream, which is to take it that serious. And for two years this man waited for his time and he got it. Although he didn't end up taking the man down, the active shooter, who we won't say his name because we won't give him any sort of publicity for being an absolute turd. He ended up killing himself with a self inflicted gun wound, which is fine by me. That's not even, it's not even take this to court. But it is odd. I don't know why he has a suppressor on. I'll tell you, I mean it's, it's, it's good, it's good conversation and I love a suppressor. Oddly enough, I love a suppressor on, on my long guns. But this is, this is something to think about. He said that once he started engaging this guy, he didn't really know where the bullets were coming from, but he didn't like being engaged. I do have a little bit, I shouldn't say a problem with that, but just something to think about. It's a good argument to have. I think you should have a suppressor on, on your long gun. Even those guns will, will have still a pretty good snap to them when using supersonic, supersonic ammo. Unless you're on a sneaky mission. Again, this is just a little bit devil's advocate food for thought. If you told me in that situation I could have a suppressor or I could not have a suppressor, I would choose not to have a suppressor. And the reason behind that is so he shot at him, he missed. I want the bark of that gun to be part of the distraction. I want him to hear that. I want him to know there's you are taking rounds and not to wonder if I'm taking rounds. Like getting shot, shot at and hearing that will immediately make him change course and know there's something out there that's looking to kill him. And there is, there just is. There's on, on the enemy's perspective, just a different reaction to the loud bark of a gun to what sounds like a BB gun, a.22 long barrel, which can be pretty quiet like getting shot at you like I want that psychological effect of it on it now. I don't know how far the dots was. Don't get me wrong, this isn't me bagging on this guy. At all. I'm so glad he was there.
Magnet
What, what day was that again?
Drew
Did that happen August 1st? I believe so.
Magnet
Five days ago. Yeah.
Drew
Yeah.
Magnet
Yesterday the Texas Supreme Court I believe ruled on the. The taking away of the nfa. So now suppressors, short barrel shotguns and short barrel rifles are now off the NFA list. Now they'll be bought like a regular firearm. I think there's seven days to obviously appeal that.
Brent Tucker
I'm sure they'll drag that out.
Magnet
But I think it's two things. I think it's awesome that obviously we had a good guy take down a bad guy or help people.
Brent Tucker
Right. He didn't take down a bad guy but he helped save lives. He helped save lives by, by returning guy.
Magnet
He had a good guy with a gun. So we 100 protect the Second Amendment with that. And second, I thought it was crazy that he had a suppressor with him.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
That's.
Magnet
I know.
Brent Tucker
I mean that's crazy. That's. I've.
Magnet
I mean he had a suppressor with him. Everybody like that's so I was there.
Brent Tucker
I, I wish I knew and someone on the. In the chats might know. I kind of wish I knew how far the shot was to, to try to. To try to tell him if he should have made the shots or, or, or shouldn't have made the shots.
Magnet
Yeah. Reassess too. So.
Brent Tucker
So but it would have been an even better story had he, had he been able to make those shots. But again I, I'm not going to say whether he should have or not because I don't know how far the you know the shot was but there's
Magnet
an off duty state trooper also that, that shot fire like.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
So I was. He's probably. He might be listening to the show. If not now he'll listen to it later. We. We have a cousin that is a retired police officer and he told me one of his biggest concerns would be and it really. And it stuck with me all these years would be reacting to an active shooter incident and shooting the good guy. And that's always. That is when you're the cop that shows up with a little information that says hey there's a guy out here shooting. And, and so as a cop you're going to show up and whoever's shooting is getting it.
Drew
Yeah.
Magnet
Right.
Brent Tucker
Thankfully that didn't happen. And there's.
Magnet
That's always in the back of people's minds. Yeah. Even with the mall shooting that the person return fire on. On someone else. Like you don't when you show up to a scene, you don't know who's the good and who's the bad guy.
Brent Tucker
So the only reason why I bring that up, because this guy had two years to think about this and, and react. And I want everyone here to think about this as well. And you can, if you, if you're aware of it, you can do it. But if you're going to get so caught up in the moment, you have got to take a second and look around real quick every now and again to see if a police officer has showed up.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Right.
Brent Tucker
And if a police officer has showed up, you're going to have to put that gun down and talk to him or, or signal to him and get his attention like that. That better be in your, in your matrix of, of thinking and step one, step two, this is what I'm going to do. Because you will encounter law enforcement and do not make that law enforcement officer have to make the toughest decision of his life of are you the good guy with the gun or the bad guy with the gun? He doesn't know. Thankfully, that didn't happen in this situation. But that's, that's always my concern. And it's avoidable. It's avoidable if you think about it. Then you'll be able to conduct yourself appropriately.
Magnet
Whenever I sell a firearm to someone, I always emphasize training, training, training. Go get training. Don't just get this, go to the range. Go get, get professional training from people.
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Magnet
You know how to react to that situation. Yeah.
Brent Tucker
Like I said, what, what a concealed carry dream. I think I watch videos, you know, and I'm always like, man, I wish that happened around me. This, this guy, oh, he had the dream. And again, and it wasn't just by chance. This guy made a conscious decision two years ago to never be a victim and, and was able to help this out. So what a great story.
Magnet
Train, train, everybody get, please go get training.
Brent Tucker
And I know this is going to sound crazy. I'm just, I'm just laying out the argument and saying I understand the other side. If, if, if their motives are pure, which usually they're not, but let's just say their motives are pure and they don't want to see needless violence and they're anti gun because of that. I understand your argument, but it's a pipe dream. There are hundreds and hundreds of millions of guns in this country due to our constitution and we do have a living and breathing constitution that, that, that can be changed and should and to some degree should be looked at to be changed with the times. And that's.
Magnet
And.
Brent Tucker
And that is. That is fine. Except the reality is you will never get the guns off the street. Most guns. This one's a little bit new. And I didn't really think about this until right now or else I would have looked into it. Usually we find out is most of the guys that carry out these things procured their guns illegally anyway, so whatever gun laws that you want to enact wouldn't have solved this anyway. And it takes a good guy with a gun to stop a bad guy with a gun. That is just the truth. There's two truths here. That's the truth. And you'll never get all the guns off the street. And I guess there's three truths here. Gun laws don't work. So anyway, I. I wanted to. I wanted to show this. I wanted to highlight this guy even with his misses. That's a joke. Maybe it's too far. I. I don't know.
Magnet
I'd like to see the ankle.
Brent Tucker
I'd like you to talk closer to the mic so people can hear you.
Magnet
I'd like to see his angle and where he was shooting from. But I know that when he moved the second time, he was moving behind a sign. Someone said.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, right. He was hiding by.
Magnet
Yeah, he was hiding by the sign. So he moved.
Brent Tucker
Like I said, all jokes aside, although he did, he didn't get the conus kill that so many of us veterans and. And two way enthusiasts are. Are looking for. Where are the two ways.
Magnet
Where were the two A boys when you need.
Drew
Where they're supposed to be? Either one of those gunshine sticks there.
Brent Tucker
That's right. They're the gunshine state. Let me tell you, either one of those kids from the 2A boys would have smoked. That guy made quick work with them. Those kids and that dad and that family will never be victims of. Of. Of gun violence. No, absolutely. Speaking of, speaking of those things, even though we just said the word over and over and luckily we're still on.
Magnet
And we showed a video.
Brent Tucker
We.
Drew
Yeah, we showed a video.
Brent Tucker
And we showed a video. Oh, gosh, I didn't even think about that.
Drew
We're lucky we only had audio issues.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, yeah. We could have been pulled off.
Drew
There shouldn't be any problem on our side. I don't know what that was.
Brent Tucker
Yeah. If you want to carry something, defend yourself and protect the citizens of your community. All you have to do is become a Patreon member and we are absolutely giving away something that can make that possible. Now, Magnet was right. This is Only a tool. You have to learn how to use your tool. But in the day, not everyone has one. And if you don't, just sign up for Patreon and you're automatically enrolled to win that thing right there. It's custom, super cool. Has custom sights on it from, from Tyler Gray's company. We'll talk about that when Tyler Gray comes on their, their mover sites and we'll explain that when Tyler gets here. It has a hollow sun reticle on it has a custom paint job. It has Tier 1 engraved on the top of the slide. It's a very cool gun. Justin Roland, Patreon. Like I said, there's no enroll in Patreon and tag or then once you get to Patreon, you have to know to go over here and sign up for it. Nope, it's just that easy. Enroll into Patreon. You are all, all automatically in available to win that. And we have Patreon give. We already gave away a pan of pano. A pair of panos. We're giving away this gun. We gave a tier one. We gave a tier one away. And I think we're gonna do a thermal site next. I haven't decided yet. Brotherhood Blades is, is coming on. They're going to make a amazing hatchet, a custom made hatchet where the handles I do believe are going to be made out of a resin that's made out of my uniform that I went to combat in.
Magnet
I also got another sponsor that's going to sponsor a training tool that you put in the firearm and the tool to train with.
Brent Tucker
Okay. Reached out to Cloud defensive. We're going to get a light for that gun as well. We'll probably, probably change out the trigger for. It's all said and done, so stick around. Last week's live. I said, hey, we'll give this thing away in a month. That means you got three more weeks to sign up for Patreon and have a chance to win that thing. All right, Drew, let's go back to the super chats. And from here on out, it should be more of a fun show. So I hope you guys stuck around for the fun parts as well.
Drew
Slim Carrie says, did you know any of the rangers on the recovery?
Brent Tucker
Yep, I, I, I talked about that while you were pulling up the video, Drew.
Drew
Oh, yeah, my bad. That's right.
Brent Tucker
How about now? Yeah, maybe that was a, a sound issue.
Drew
And my baby. Thank you for the gift, my brother. Thank you.
Brent Tucker
Thank you, Trey. Like, it's like a 50. Like consoling Drew. Prize is what that is.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Maybe.
Brent Tucker
I don't know why they couldn't hear the.
Drew
I don't know everything.
Brent Tucker
Yes, I could hear it in. In my head.
Drew
I could hear in my set.
Brent Tucker
Yeah. So that's all right.
Drew
Just another 11 Bravo says I would have had more guns in my basement than the state of Montana, but I had a hellish flood and they all swept down river.
Brent Tucker
Did they wink? Did they. Didn't want to register them. I don't know. Okay. Okay.
Drew
Right wing nut says two Louis, Louisiana boys killed in extortion. Yeah, Kelsall and Reeves, they were friends since high school. Both dev group.
Brent Tucker
What are the chances of high school friends going to SEAL Team six together? That's crazy. That's crazy.
Drew
Holy folks. As Drew I text you the article on gun ownership and I was trying to find it@armmo.com but what's up, bud?
Magnet
He texted me too.
Drew
Okay. And I was trying to find it. Couldn't find it on@armo.com but I can I read you. Here it is. Montana has the highest rate of reported household gun ownership at 66 per 100 residents. So again, per residents.
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Magnet
That.
Drew
That is the percentage of. Of gun ownership. Wyoming being next, Alaska, Idaho, Alaska. There was a guy in the chat said there's more people living Rhode island than the whole state of Alaska. Yeah. So you know, I get those numbers. But it's per 100. Well, you only have so many 100 people living in that state.
Magnet
So if you only have 1 million people living in that state. We have 23 million.
Drew
Yeah. So at. At that, if you got 1 million people, you got 600000 guns. That's that, you know, 660000 guns when you got 23 million people. There was another guy said something funny in the chats. He said, he said there's more guns in the Florida hood than there is in the state of Montana.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, probably.
Drew
Oh man. Population. Let's see here. But thank you holy folk for the. For the article. That was Good, good stuff. KC Clark says why hasn't the hundreds. The 160th Flying Extortion 17. Why wasn't the 160th Flying Extortion 17? Figured they would be the tier one operations on board. Another story behind that, right?
Brent Tucker
Yes. The 160th was over tasked and the QRF elements were delegated down to conventional force aviation units. And so they hopped on a QRF bird that was flown by National Guardsmen. I'm trying to think of the state that they were flown by. But that is why, and it is a big deal because I don't know for sure that there wouldn't have been a difference. But there's a good chance there would have been a change. That at least as a possibility would have been a change of the story because the 1 60th birds are, are, have armor on them and the conventional birds are thin skinned. So I, I, there are stories of 1/60 birds taking, taking a hit and limping at home or at least being able to do a controlled crash. So there, there's a chance. And that was just, that was just a part of being spread thin. Unfortunately. That's, it's never, it's never one thing when something major goes wrong. It's always, it's usually like a rule of threes. It's almost usually three things wrong for a disaster to happen. And that was, that was one of, that was one of them for sure.
Drew
Jimmy 600rr says Montana here. And holy fook is correct. Everyone owns guns here. And well, not 33 out of 100. And not just one or two. The average owner has 10 to 15 closing songs. Baby I or one commies.
Magnet
All right.
Brent Tucker
Okay.
Drew
Oh, I hate commies. There it is. Stu. Baby. I hate commies. For 25. I did some math on the Florida gun. So yeah, Florida's 40 on the average, which is like 35 or 36 out of 100 people. But because you have 23 million people, that's 8 million guns.
Brent Tucker
Okay, 8 million. That's a good number.
Drew
That's 8 million. That's a lot more than 660,000.
Brent Tucker
Seems like we're the gunshine state.
Drew
Yeah, it's pretty, it's pretty gun shiny. And then. Yeah. So you gotta do the numbers.
Brent Tucker
Holy fook. I'm just facts over feelings. I, I love the enthusiasm. Yeah, I do. I do. And, and by no mean am I casting shade over Montana for not having as many guns as a 23 million populated state? I love Montana. I, I wish things were different in my life. I would move to Montana and unplug on 50 acres in a heartbeat.
Magnet
Yeah.
Drew
Holy food. I would love, I would love the population of Florida to move to Montana. That's what I would love. And everybody who's been in Florida for over 100 years gets to stay.
Brent Tucker
All right.
Magnet
Right.
Drew
Okay. So yeah, we, hey, we're not happy. There's a lot of people in Florida not owning guns. Okay. We're not, we're not happy about that. There's 23 million people. 8 million are the gun owners. I don't know who those other people are and they. I don't think they belong here. That's my personal opinion. All right,
Brent Tucker
firefighter just text me and said watching the show
Magnet
Ryan.
Brent Tucker
Thank you. Said I agree with more guns in the hood. I've been to two shootings recently. Both took one shot to the eye. Really unusual for our area for guys to be done so cleanly. There you go.
Drew
Let's see here. But thank you, Jimmy. Thank you very much for that. I love it. Dwazi in says I was looking forward to ask Tyler Gray to put Brent on an episode of SEAL Team and have him shoot ubl. I hope your arm is doing better. Magnet.
Magnet
Oh thank you.
Brent Tucker
That, that would be awesome. Oh my gosh. That would be hilarious. That'd be so funny. Thank you Dwazi. Good good thinking. Yeah. Put that bug in his ear when he's here on the 27th. Put that bug in his ear.
Drew
Bacon Forge says what's the game plan for 91 1? YouTube won't let me super chat the actual numbers. It would be cool if we all stayed at the close by. Anyway, thoughts?
Brent Tucker
Oh man, I I don't know. I'm sure it's going to be. It's one of those things. It's a going to be probably a free for all because. And I'll put on on Patreon a meeting spot so we can have our, our tier one audience. You know have a, a place where just kind of us can. Can hang out for. For a little bit. But I'm. I'm pretty sure trying to block off some hotel is. Is just. Is going to be difficult. But thank you. That's a thank you Bacon Forge. And that reminds me as we get closer which is what we're just a little over a month out. We'll. We'll decide on a meeting place. We'll get some, get some guards and tell some stories.
Drew
Let's see.
Brent Tucker
You got to be a part of Patreon. You got to be a part of Patreon to to get all that
Drew
chicken wire canoe. That is quite. I I really want to know the backstory of that name. Long time listener. First time being able to catch a live. Here's the fridge fund.
Brent Tucker
Thank you.
Drew
Love it man. Thank you so much.
Brent Tucker
I know you are a first time listener of the live and super chatter. I want to say because I both of us drew we would remember a screen name like that. Yeah some of the screen names just definitely first timer. Yeah they stick with you.
Drew
He'd Remember, chicken wire, Canoe Trey 25 says, was that enough for you to sing Forest? There it is, I think.
Brent Tucker
I don't know. To embarrass myself on the Internet. It's probably at least. At least a hundred bucks. And I think that's. I don't think that's being greedy. I think it's a pretty low price to embarrass yourself, to be honest with you.
Drew
That is not true. He will sing for less than $100 with 30. I'm pretty sure he would sing. Sing for free, actually.
Brent Tucker
Well, I sing for free on karaoke. That's. That's for sure.
Magnet
And we join the Patreon. You could see him singing last week. Yeah.
Drew
Oh, yeah, yeah. We got some singing and guitar. Brent playing guitar.
Brent Tucker
Oh, yeah, me and. Me and Rusty Witt had a. Had a great little jam session in the garage post live last week. The strength and coach. The strength and conditioning coach for Florida, who could also play guitar pretty good and had a. Had a set of vocal cords himself. That was a lot of fun. I've done that in a while.
Drew
Yeah, that was fun. Brody Martin. All right. Says, when is the Tucker feed store T shirt going for sale? In case I don't win the Patreon giveaway magnet. Are you gonna sell a version of that G19 with trigger stripes or tiger stripes?
Brent Tucker
That's a good question. I did, and I. I told. I don't. I kind of don't remember, but I think I was just like. Just make it cool. Like, I don't think I asked for that. Did I Do you just. Yeah, I think you just. You're like, I got you.
Magnet
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, I love it. I love the tiger stripes. It's a great tiger stripes. You know, I'm a weird.
Drew
I don't.
Brent Tucker
Is it. Is it the right word? I'm a fan of the Vietnam War. That's a weird thing to say. I like the Vietnam War. I don't know how else to say it. I like study. I like. Yeah, I like studying the. The Vietnam. I love documentaries. I love books in Vietnam.
Magnet
That's true.
Brent Tucker
And the. Obviously with my background here at the set, I. I do. I love black multicam. And so to have, like, the black and gray themed tiger stripe, which, you know, certain SF units in Vietnam wore tiger stripe. So it's a great tip of the hat to kind of an old and new theme. I love.
Magnet
Was fun.
Brent Tucker
Yeah,
Drew
Brent, let's see if I get. Yeah. Brent Hooverty says seminal wind for the outro song for 50 bucks, man. I Do love Seminole win.
Brent Tucker
I know you do. You love that. You love 90s country. I do too.
Drew
I don't.
Brent Tucker
Don't. I'm not making. I love 90s country too. It's. I think it's the best of country.
Magnet
I just don't like them same Seminoles in it.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, that's true. Yeah.
Drew
Oh, when you're from Seminole county, which you are.
Magnet
I am not.
Drew
You're not from Seminole County.
Magnet
What are you talking about? Orange County?
Drew
No. That's worse. All right. Whiskey T Fox says Brent Sea Spray was the precursor to 1 60th.
Brent Tucker
Oh, sea spray.
Drew
Also, I'm in Orlando in a month. Can I pick up that bad arse Glock in person then?
Brent Tucker
Whiskey T Fox.
Drew
You.
Brent Tucker
You better. You better come to a lot.
Drew
Yeah, man.
Brent Tucker
You better come to a live.
Magnet
If you go online, arms USA.com, you can order one. There you go.
Brent Tucker
There you go. And if we didn't get taken off the air yet for everything we've done, that won't do it either. YouTube has decided to give us a.
Magnet
A pass.
Brent Tucker
And like, you know what? They've. They've dealt with enough. We'll let them promote whatever they want.
Drew
Dwazi says Brent sings karaoke when the bar isn't too busy.
Brent Tucker
That's. That's not true. That's not true. I'll sing with a packed house.
Drew
No, that. Well, yeah, I mean, that's. That's true. But he'll also sing when it's busy.
Magnet
Yeah. Then he gets me on the stage and starts singing karaoke with him at Big Daddies.
Brent Tucker
The. The last song I sang was down in Cape Coral at a bar called Back Streets. And I went with Fuel by Metallica and sent it to the best of my abilities, to a. To a packed house. I'll have you know, late in the
Magnet
night, you're limited on your abilities, but you get it done.
Brent Tucker
Get it done.
Drew
Last super chat that we have here says. Nope, it's not the last. Joe's Gotia says. Brent, did you ever meet or know Nims Perja, the world renowned mountaineer and former Gurkha and SBS operator who perished in an avalanche?
Brent Tucker
Yeah, I. I saw an article about that. That's crazy. That's so unfortunate. I did not know him and I know about him until. Until I read that article of him. Of him perishing? Yeah. That is crazy. Life's crazy, man. Life is crazy.
Drew
Solidarity says Drew. Brent, how much do I need to donate for I see it now by Tracy Lawrence for the outro?
Brent Tucker
Good question.
Drew
What's the numbers at.
Brent Tucker
The numbers are at 500, I believe. Oboe with the 50 for the fallen, by the way, which is what we're talking about. The September 11th meetup is the 50 for the fallen September 11th event in New York City. I hate to keep on plugging it to some degree, but join the Patreon. We have a ton of details in there about the Tier one meetup within that, but you don't have to be part of the Patreon to go support a great organization and a great cause during a great time of remembrance. The. So 500 for five minutes alone, and we're at 50 for whatever I want. So we play two songs at the end. You have to beat 50, you're at 20.
Magnet
What date are you going there again?
Brent Tucker
I'm going to Atlantic City a little bit earlier on the 8th and 9th. I'll use the 10th as a travel day. And would you want to go to Atlantic City with me? Oh, gosh, Magnet. We'll see about it.
Magnet
Okay, so let me know. Well, I don't want to fly by myself.
Brent Tucker
We'll double up in the. In the hotel room. It'll get weird.
Magnet
It'll get weird.
Brent Tucker
It's okay. It's okay.
Drew
Obas. He don't like to fly. All right. Holy fook. Says Florida's still behind the great state of Texas.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Gobo.
Drew
All right, well, Texas has. I don't know. What is it, like, 35 million? I don't remember. 45. I don't know.
Magnet
What the.
Drew
What the. No. 32 million in population. Okay, so 45 out of 100. So 45 of that at. You're looking at over 14 million gun owners, plus.
Brent Tucker
Impressive.
Drew
Multiplied by whatever. How many guns they have. There are some dudes in Texas.
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Drew
That have, like, a ungodly amount of guns. It's crazy.
Brent Tucker
Love to hear it. We need them.
Drew
Let's see. North, south, east, west. I think I'm over 100 bucks. Can you sing, my friend? Sing what?
Brent Tucker
It just says 279.
Drew
Well, he just like other ones. He did some other ones.
Brent Tucker
Are you, like, your cumulative lifetime?
Drew
No, cumulative. Tonight.
Brent Tucker
Oh. Oh. Tonight.
Drew
Yeah.
Magnet
All right.
Drew
He's done. He's done. He's done quite a few, but sing what?
Brent Tucker
Happy birthday. There's what? Solidarity. Once I See it now by Tracy Lawrence. I don't know that song.
Drew
Well, Amazon Music is where I got Solidarity. I See it now by Tracy Lawrence. But I want to hear those vocals. Don't. Don't know the song.
Magnet
I don't know.
Drew
I don't know the title. Might know if I heard it.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, yeah, that's a, and that's a, that's a, a Tracy Lord song.
Magnet
All right.
Brent Tucker
Might know if I heard it. Yeah.
Drew
Brody Martin says for a CCW, pew, pew, like a Glock 43, would you go with an optic or light if you can't have both?
Brent Tucker
As long as I have iron sights, Because I have to, I have to aim off of something if I have iron sights, a light. This is, this is, this will be controversial to some, but to people who've hunted people, they'll, they'll get it. I'll, I'll take a light. I will take a light over an optic.
Magnet
I said both.
Brent Tucker
I'll take both. But, yeah, but I'll again, I'll just take a, a second to, to back that up because some people might be like, why would you say that? And we got time. It's 9:41. Whether it's daytime or night time. You didn't tell me if it was day or night, but it doesn't matter. If you just have a gun and you don't know when you're going to have to use it. Well, night is, is half of the day. And if you can't see what you're hunting, you're, you're useless. So you have to be able to see what you're doing. The second thing an overpowering light is going to give you, besides getting to identify your target, is going to be the overwhelming sense that they have of a flashlight in their eyes. Because that's what's going to happen as you're scanning for this target of a thousand lumens in their eyeballs. And they're going to have to look away and they're not going to, they're not going to be able to return fire either at all or accurately. And it gives. So not only does it allow you to see what you're shooting, it keeps them from seeing what they're shooting, and it gives you. Gunfights are one in tenths of a second. And that hesitation of lack of vision maybe more than likely will be the difference of winning a gunfight, but that also is in like inside a room, home defense, CQB inside of a room. You can go back to that, that video of the guy in Idaho. A light wouldn't have done him a lot, a lot of good. But let me tell you, whether it was iron sights or a, a red dot reticle, you should be able to make those shots. When Rob Latham would come out to the Unit and shoot with us. He would only shoot in. In iron sights, and he was fast and he was accurate. So as much as I love red dot sites and I do, I. I'm not some weirdo that's anti red dot site. That's crazy. I also can't go as far as to say it's like they're the end all, be all. And you can't hit targets with. With them. With. With iron sights, you absolutely can.
Magnet
But you also got a train. Train, train.
Brent Tucker
You. You have. You have to go. You have to go shooting. You have to. And here's another thing that people don't necessarily understand. You don't always have to go to the range and train. There's a lot of these as something as simple as dry firing. You're training your eyes so much on shooting is training your eyes. These. These trainer guns are. Are great as well. Like, these laser trainer guns are great because you're trained. At least that way you're both training your eye and you're getting to see trigger manipulation, which is so important when shooting a pistol. So there's a. There's a lot of things.
Magnet
Also get one of those snap bullets, the red bullets that you put in there.
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Magnet
Yeah. I think they're called snap bullets. I don't know.
Brent Tucker
I know what you're talking about, though. Yeah. So. So you don't have to go to a range and spend thousands of dollars on ammo itself. Those things are out there. Please go look into them, get creative, and get to train in.
Drew
Brett, we. We do know that that country song.
Brent Tucker
I can't hear you. Is your.
Drew
We do know that country song.
Brent Tucker
No, I literally can't hear you. Is your. Is your mic up there?
Magnet
It is.
Drew
I do know you. You do know that country song because I was. I had it mute. Muted because I was trying to listen. That's the. It's the one that goes. I never saw that look in your eyes, you know?
Magnet
All right.
Brent Tucker
Oh, and I do never seen. Okay. All right.
Drew
Yeah.
Magnet
All right. Yeah.
Drew
All that stuff. So we know, though.
Magnet
All right.
Drew
Okay, let's see. It's stick up says Brent. Did you guys watch SHIELD TV after missions to see split times of face shot shills? Vaguely heard someone brush over that on a pod. Just curious. What y' all got me doing. Too many things.
Brent Tucker
I was just gonna see how long it took. I'll just say, drew, if you want more camera time, you can have more camera time. It is not a big deal. You just want to show it off. Show off that Pretty new haircut.
Drew
How long do 420 people just want to sit here?
Magnet
Did your wife cut your hair?
Drew
Yes, of course she cut my hair.
Brent Tucker
Well, she. She has Drew's defense. Real quick. That's not just a random. She was. She worked at a salon, and her parents owned a salon. She. She can cut hair and. And is able to and should cut hair. Oh, she did nails.
Magnet
Oh, she didn't even cut hair.
Drew
She's a talented woman, though.
Brent Tucker
She's talented. You know, you could have just let that one.
Magnet
No.
Brent Tucker
You could have just let that one go.
Drew
No.
Brent Tucker
Looks good. She's still looks good. I mean, not as good as long.
Magnet
She watched.
Brent Tucker
Okay.
Drew
Yeah, she paid attention.
Brent Tucker
You think she's watching? Is that why?
Drew
Heck, no. She ain't watching.
Brent Tucker
Okay.
Drew
Heck, no.
Magnet
No.
Brent Tucker
I don't know what SHIELD TV is.
Drew
Oh, yeah, yeah. Oh, by the way, that. That was not our nephew. The. The other time that Scott, that was actually your brother.
Brent Tucker
Oh, was it?
Drew
That was. And now that he. He is full done with his medical where we're allowed to say that it's him.
Brent Tucker
Okay.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
All right,
Brent Tucker
well, now it's a whole family event.
Drew
Okay.
Brent Tucker
We got the little brother in the chats. We got the older brother run the. The producing it, and the middle brother behind. Behind one of the mics. That's awesome.
Drew
Okay, let's see what do we got here? Says chicken.
Magnet
Chicken wire.
Drew
Canoe was back in for the second time for two. Use it a few times during my time in the army. I guess he's talking about the chicken. Oh, no. Or is he talking about what he said in the earlier. What did he say earlier?
Brent Tucker
Oh, Drew, I don't know if you're gonna find it.
Drew
Okay. Retired three years ago. My family are. My family and I are in Orlando a few times a year from Virginia. Going to have to come hang out for a live one of these times. Heck, yes. Definitely. Just another 11 bravo, says Brent. How many bad guys did you eliminate? Looking through an optic verse IR laser? I know my answer. Curious to hear yours. Not looking for exact numbers, obviously.
Brent Tucker
Oh, that's a good one. Most through laser. You know, obviously, we. We own the night. We work at. We work at night. But Syria gave me a chance to. To pad some. Pad some numbers through. Through an optic. So we. We had a surge late. Late in my career. We'll just say that.
Drew
Did you purge?
Brent Tucker
Did you wear surge? A purge surge. Oh, a purge up. Yeah, a surge.
Magnet
So the SEAL guy.
Brent Tucker
Via a purge.
Magnet
The seal guys were wearing green. What was your face? Makeup? Black?
Brent Tucker
My Beard's my face makeup magnet. You put a helmet and some panos on this thing, that's.
Magnet
I'm.
Brent Tucker
I'm blacked out with my beard.
Magnet
You want to. If you wear a black face.
Brent Tucker
No black face. I was woke before I knew it was cool.
Magnet
Okay.
Brent Tucker
I wouldn't do that.
Magnet
I would.
Brent Tucker
Drew, you're up.
Drew
Okay. JROC says. How do y' all like the changes Glock made on the Gen 6 models compared to the previous Glock gins? Should Glock bring back some calibers they dropped?
Brent Tucker
So. So the Gen 6 has a grip texture which is. Which is different. An optic ready system I have to look at here, make sure I know everything. A flat face trigger, which I don't know why I do like flat face triggers, but it doesn't matter that they did anything with the trigger. They'll never be able to make it as good as. Or they just. They could. They refused to make it as good as an aftermarket trigger. So you're going to replace that trigger anyway. So it doesn't matter. I hate to say it. Nothing they did is. Is anything that I would probably keep on it anyway because I'm. I'm gonna switch out components. You know, the. The upper slides are so easy and cheap to. To. To switch out the when. And that one will have an optic ready slide anyway, which is what I. I did to mine back there. I'm gonna put a different trigger in it. So to me, it doesn't really matter what generation Glock you buy. You should buy it then. You should customize it with. With better equipment anyway.
Magnet
I think the V was more to satisfy the California compliance than anything else, really. At the end of the day.
Brent Tucker
Yeah. I don't know what. I don't know what calibers they would. Did they go away with some. Some calibers that. That I'm not tracking. It sounds like they. They may have, but as long as they have the 9 mil caliber, it's all they need.
Magnet
Yep, that's it.
Drew
All right. That's the Super Chats so far.
Brent Tucker
All right. There's some things I want to do just for funsies. Go over Drew. Let's go to Instagram. Oh, you were not prepared. Were you prepared for Instagram?
Drew
Not exactly.
Brent Tucker
All right, we'll let Drew go over the Instagram real quick as he goes over that. I'll keep on with Super Chats. Not in a mindset capacity, but could a 90s Delta operator jump in a stack with you when you were in the unit based off of learned tactics over the Gwat also, is their marksmanship comparable to yours? Oh, that is a good question. I know those guys, or at least some of them. Of course, they would never have been in the house with me, you know, to. To kind of test that. I'd like to think they could. I. I know. I know this. You know, the Delta's standard of shooting and speed would have. Would have done them a lot. And they're just the type of person that I do believe if they couldn't immediately, they would be able to after a few runs. Because those guys are at a high level too. Yeah, I think they could have adapted quick because of the type of person that. That we. That we recruit last Thursday. Yeah, I think with like, Dale. Yeah, I mean, Dale did a hostage rescue mission and in Panama and. And was off target in six minutes. So those boys are pretty quick. So. Yeah, I think so. I do. I do think so.
Drew
Okay, I'm ready. What do you want to do?
Brent Tucker
Just because it irritates me. That very last. I think that very last one. Let's see what this one is. Yeah. And be. Be quick with the. The audio.
Drew
Hopefully it plays. It's showing. It's. Y' all tell me in the chats if you hear the audio.
Brent Tucker
Love to see it. Oh, just bombed. Your daughter. Love to see it. Same thing. Oh, why would you. That's fine. They can see it. Oh, he took the pitch. Which means the other person took the pitch to the face. Oh, that didn't turn out well. That was poorly thought out. Like our indoor grilling episode of July 4th two years ago. Yep. And that did nothing. All right, here's the reason why I even play that video. Because there are. This is going to the segment of things that annoy me. And everything. Everything in our culture has become extra, right? Birthday parties are extra. Retirement parties are extra. That's why I refuse to have one. We have something as simple as a baby announcement that used to be a postcard that said it's a boy has now turned into some like, grand several hundred dollar, if not way more. And, and production. Why are we doing this? Why are we doing this, guys? And let's be honest, I'm a little bit torn because. Because what some people. Well, it's. I do it for my wife. My wife wanted to do it. So, you know, I. I let her do it. But if it. It's just. It just comes on the tail again of everything being extra.
Magnet
Like, right, why do you have a reveal party? Why do you have a baby shower? Why do you have.
Brent Tucker
Oh, the Baby showers or extra like the, the. The middle class man that has to support all this. Every month it's a birthday every month. You know, Valentine's Day is over the top.
Drew
The one year old birthday party.
Brent Tucker
The one year old birthday party. It's big. Like, hey, we're, we're. And everyone complains about the economy. Well, hey, just start doing normal stuff again.
Magnet
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
You know what I did for a birthday party? I had a couple friends over and a cake from Publix and that was it. No entertainers, no costume designs, no elaborate. No elaborate decorations.
Magnet
Alfred, change.
Brent Tucker
Like this is.
Magnet
You change outfits. So you gotta have this on. Then at this point in the party that you have to do this.
Brent Tucker
You have to have a photographer come and, and document it all just for Instagram so everyone can show everyone else that I'm cool. Yeah, we did it better than, than your birthday party. Like really, this. The social media aspect of it is, is so bad and on, on several levels. And it's because of things like this, it's become a keeping up with the Joneses type of. Of fallacy.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
And then other wives are on social media, seeing what other wives are getting to do and they have no idea. Like, oh, their, their living room is beautiful. Well, maybe the other seven rooms in their home isn't as beautiful. They had a great birthday party. Maybe he makes more than me. Like, I don't know and I don't care. Do. Do you have enough? Have I provided you with everything you need? And it hasn't become about. No one cares what they need anymore. It's. It's what they want. How extravagant can it be? And that equals happiness.
Magnet
Look at me. Look at me. Me.
Brent Tucker
Yeah. It's all. Look at me.
Magnet
Look at me.
Brent Tucker
Yeah. It's gotta stop, men. It's gotta stop.
Drew
It's gonna stop.
Brent Tucker
Let's go back to Instagram, see a few more as we close this thing
Drew
out while I reset it. Let's see if we get some audio this time. Which one you want to try?
Brent Tucker
Let's scroll a little bit. Oh, here's one. Navy SEAL training. Because this was in. In honor of the seals. And I think every. Every guy watching them will. Will resonate with this a little bit. Tell me this isn't true. Timberland Pro knows that NASCAR starts long before the green flag waves. Because behind every race are the doers, the people who show up to the track early and stay long after the race ends. And that's who Timberland Pro is built for. Durable, comfortable, and professional. These boots perform as hard as you do on the job and off it. Real work, real people, real craft. Visit timberlandpro.com and discover products that help workers perform at their best.
Drew
Priceline negotiator. It's me, the Priceline negotiator. We don't need the jingle twice.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
What about a third time?
Drew
Stop it. This is about vacation inflation and how Priceline negotiates amazing deals on hotels, flights, and rental cars.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Seems like you decided.
Drew
Yeah, but I didn't mention that. You can save up to 60% off hotels in the Priceline app. Time to beat the timeline. Fine.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Line.
Drew
No one deals more deals than.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Please stop.
Drew
Touche. Priceline. Priceline.
Magnet
All right.
Brent Tucker
I don't care how old you are. We don't have to watch it a second time.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Drew.
Drew
Oh, you can talk over it.
Brent Tucker
I don't know how old. I don't care how old you get. You get into a pool long enough as a man, you're doing crossovers. You're going. You're holding your breath, and you're seeing if you can go this. The. The length of the pool, and then you're seeing how far back you can go. And if it's small enough pool, you're going to see how many times you can go back and the forth on a. Back and forth on a breath hold. Tell me I'm wrong.
Drew
You're not wrong.
Brent Tucker
Every man does it, and I love it.
Magnet
I do it. You know what's crazy is I didn't know that Amanda didn't know how to swim.
Brent Tucker
She doesn't.
Magnet
She doesn't know how to swim. She doggy pals, and she thinks that's not how to swim. So I got in there, and I wrecked her.
Brent Tucker
You got to. You got to. Yeah, that. That. I thought that video was very, very appropriate for. For today's episode. Guys, you can hate on Navy seals all you want, but you get into a pool, you start. You start having a little bit of inner Navy SEAL in.
Drew
Yeah, I don't know if anybody else does this, but. But sometimes what I'll do is, even though you. You hold your breath as long as you can, as long as you can, but you still don't come out of the water. Like, you know, you come out still a little sneaky, still holding that breath. That's right. You know what I mean?
Magnet
That's right.
Drew
You gotta.
Brent Tucker
You gotta come out a little bit. Eyes first, and then slowly come out completely composed.
Drew
Right.
Brent Tucker
Although your lips are blue and you have no oxygen, but you gotta.
Drew
You're dying.
Brent Tucker
You gotta play cool. Absolutely. Let's see what else Instagram has to. To offer us on the. The funer parts of this. That one right there, the one right above it. And this. We said we'd cover this at some point, and we got to, because it's. It is important to me.
Drew
Sophie Cunningham called out the WNBA media. She said, they don't ever want to talk about basketball. They always want to talk about issues. But it does feel like 24.
Brent Tucker
7 drama.
Drew
It's a reality show more than a league. And I'm not against occasional outrage. The Astros cheating, winning a World Series. Outrage that's warranted. There's outrage every week in the wnba. It's like, guys, you were begging for attention for three decades, and now it's like, you can't handle it.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
It.
Drew
We're paying attention. You can't handle it. I've never seen a league that is more volatile and dramatic in these wild emotional mood swings. It's like, take a deep breath. You look petty and juvenile and small.
Brent Tucker
Yeah.
Drew
It's like, ladies, it's a great league, but, I mean, it's a reality show. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
It's a.
Brent Tucker
It's so crazy. I know we're gonna. At some point, maybe people call us, be a misogynist for saying things like this, but it's funny. They're women who scream for attention, and when you give them attention, you gave them the wrong type of attention, and so they're still not happy with the attention that they got.
Magnet
I love that she protects her. Her. Sorry.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Whoa.
Magnet
Her teammate, Caitlin Clark.
Brent Tucker
I'll tell you, I'm a big fan of Sophie Cunningham. I was before this. I knew she was cool, and now she's way cool because of. Of coming out. You are the wnba. For her to come out and be the only person to protect women, and now all these people in the WNBA are offended that you're protecting women's sports. You are women's sports. And this happens every time. It doesn't matter the sport. It's going on in high school right now in track and field, I believe in California might be. Have the state wrong where there's a male pretending to be a female and just racking up records and podiums and mma. All these girls want to say, oh, it's. We're a fan of transgenders. They're just like us. They're females, too. Until you get your skull bashed in, and then you're like, we shouldn't have men in women's sports. And you. You stay on this. I encourage you to actually and you know it's going to happen. There's going to be a male that comes into the wnba and he's going to dominate it, and then you'll change your mind and be like, well, I don't know if they're exactly the same. They will only accept a. A transgender in the WNBA if they suck.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
That's not what's going to happen because
Drew
they already have those.
Magnet
Sophie's getting enormous amount of support by young women and finally someone speaking up for them. Right.
Brent Tucker
Look at the support. Look at the support you're finally getting. The wnba, I swear, they have this all star, which is Sophie's teammate, who.
Magnet
Caitlyn Clark.
Brent Tucker
Caitlyn Clark. They hate Caitlyn Clark. Sophie Cunningham stands up for little girls and wants to protect them, and now they want to make a. They want to push her and suppress her and be like, oh, that's. Yeah, no, that's not the only good things happening in the wnba. The. The WNBA doesn't like. It's absolute madness.
Magnet
Yeah.
Drew
It was already there. It's just getting. It's just getting views now.
Magnet
Right?
Drew
It's always there.
Magnet
That's because Caitlyn Clark is the best player in the. In the wnba, and all the women in there are beating her up. Like, you see all the abuse she takes. Even a doctor came out and spoke about it and said. Said that they need to stop. That girl's going to get hurt bad.
Brent Tucker
Well, I've. I've said this before, and it's. It's no surprise to anyone with a brain, but the problem is this, is that the LGBTQ element IP community connected themselves with transgenders. They connected themselves not out of logic, not out of reason, but like, oh, so we need someone else on our team to support us. You're also a downtrodden minority. We're downtrodden minorities, and they accepted them. That was a huge mistake. Of course, the whole movement's a mistake. But the WNBA is full, absolutely chalked, full of lesbians. And so because they're lesbians, they have to be sympathetic to transgenders because that's what the community has already established. And so they kind of.
Magnet
They.
Brent Tucker
They've already cracked the door. That's right.
Drew
So you gotta let everybody else in.
Brent Tucker
So. So they can't go against it. And it's an absolute shame. But I love the popularity that Sophie's getting for staking it, for taking a stand on it.
Magnet
I loved her at the.
Drew
Her shoes.
Magnet
The UFC fight.
Brent Tucker
Oh, yeah, it was great.
Magnet
Right?
Brent Tucker
Her shoe. She sold her shoe. Is the number one selling shoe in women's sports right now. It absolutely sold out.
Magnet
And.
Brent Tucker
And instead of the WNBA looking at this and going, oh, hold on, we
Magnet
need to get behind here.
Brent Tucker
Here's a path of popularity. Here's something good. Let's do this. They're gonna double down. They've already said, like the video with her pointing, which is one of my favorite videos, because it's just. It's just a one calm woman just doing. Just sitting there, pointing, doing nothing. And another woman, completely irrational, losing her mind because she can't take someone pointing at her. Did you know the league said that she cannot profit off of that image or likeness because it had to do with controversy or it had to do with a proposed fight. And then so they can't make a
Magnet
T shirt over doing that.
Brent Tucker
So it's like the WNBA who wants views, who wants money, who needs money, who loses money every year and every game and who has to support them? The boys.
Magnet
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
And then they do everything. And here's. Here's another great point that I just came up with is that this is the problem with subsidizing them. They don't have to be good at business because no matter how bad they are, the boys are going to bail them out.
Magnet
Right?
Brent Tucker
The NBA is going to bail them out. So they don't have to be good at business. This is a weird jump, but it's true. Whether it's Vietnam or Afghanistan, those guys didn't have to be good at war because they knew the American soldiers were going to bail them out. It's just a truth. Stop supporting them, stop bailing them out. And they'll have to make good business decisions, not emotional decisions is what they're doing right now. Anyway, had to talk about the Sophie Cunningham thing. Cause I'm proud of her. I'd love to have her on the show.
Magnet
Sophie can, if you're watching, hit us up.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, so if someone out there knows Sophie Cunningham, I'd love, love to have her on the show.
Drew
All right, we got some super chats that have come in here, but we're about to shut things down pretty soon.
Brent Tucker
I suppose we are.
Drew
Buddy, Buddy. Wexford says, not in a mindset capacity, but could a 90s Delta operator jump in a stack with you when you were in the unit? But we already did that. That. All right. Brody, Martin, thank you for the info on the optic or light question. My everyday carry is a G43X. I wanted to free up the load some, so I was debating the optic versus light. I grew up shooting irons. I like the light answer. Thanks, CAG Daddy.
Brent Tucker
You are welcome. Glad to do. It's what I'm here for. Otherwise it's just useless knowledge.
Drew
Holy fook. Bagging again, says Brent. Did you have to dispatch someone without using a weapon? I. E. Knife, hatchet vehicle? Do you get trained in wet work in the unit?
Brent Tucker
No, I never had to dispatch someone. Not. Not with my weapon. Does that mean it would have been a cool. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Magnet
Right.
Brent Tucker
If. If that happens. Something went really bad actually. Yep. Wet work. Yeah, we. We did work in the water. Which I believe is what you're asking me about.
Drew
Dwazi.
Brent Tucker
I remember.
Drew
Announcements made through 1800 1-800-Collect. Yes.
Brent Tucker
Okay.
Drew
Announcements made, huh? Buddy Wexford. Are you pumped for the exclusive Paramount plus series Operator stories featuring Tim K and Jizro?
Brent Tucker
I. I watched a couple of episodes last night. I don't know what's going on with me lately. I can't get to sleep at night and usually I sleep pretty good. Good. Like, I don't have a problem with sleep per se. I have a problem with restorative sleep. But man, I have. I don't get to bed until like 4 in the morning for like the past three nights. And it's really irritating because it. It delays and delays my. My day the next day. But yeah. So I've been killing time watching some of those there. They're amazing.
Drew
Solidarity. Says I love some WNBA low light tick tock edits.
Brent Tucker
I know.
Drew
They're.
Brent Tucker
They're some of my favorite. And the Angel Reese ones are the best. There's this guy on Instagram that just screams it Angel Race. And he's just screaming like the whole time. He's like, that's a me bound, not a rebound. You got it from yourself. And it's. It's funny. I watch it every time. I love watching the Angel Reese Low like sites in particular.
Drew
Let's see Buddy Wexford again, says Leo here in the great state of Texas. When is FRCC bourbon making its way out here? You boys have all my support.
Brent Tucker
I'm glad you asked. Go to frcc shop. You don't have to leave the house. They'll mail it right to you. Good news is we just got a deal in Tennessee with a distributor and so you should be able to find it a lot easier in Tennessee. And we are going to work our way down to Texas.
Drew
Braden Medlin says say it.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
Yeah, there it is.
Drew
Qualified. Last super chat says I heard the story on Brent's busted tank in 1996. I got back from a six months as South American deployment. Got back to Norfolk, went to a bar. They had an electric bull. I, too, busted my tape.
Brent Tucker
We met someone else. Thank you. Thank you. I knew I couldn't be the only one. Oh, yeah. Keep it up. Old busted by over there.
Magnet
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
Oh, man. You know, I know that took qualified PI. I knew that took a lot of courage to come out and say that. And I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you. I, of all people, I know what it takes to come out and have that type of courage to tell the public that you pulled a taint, and I commend you for it.
Magnet
You know how it is to come out in the public.
Drew
Nice adjust. Another B says Brent. You said when swimming, you have a little Navy SEAL in you. Which one? Oh, and I don't know. He's. Then he's got the balls to put down hashtag no homo.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, that was a very, very homo. That was very homo super chat. Don't be surprised if that one gets cut and put on Instagram. That's hilarious.
Drew
Holy Folk has given us the definition of the wet work.
Brent Tucker
Oh, that is. That is knife work to the throat, man. I wish. It does sound cool. It's morbid, but I know that. I wish. But I won't go. I won't go full jizz row on you. No homo. And. And tell you things that happened that didn't happen just to make myself look cooler. So I'll just tell you the truth.
Drew
Please practice wet work on goats.
Magnet
All right.
Brent Tucker
Do we do it?
Drew
That's it.
Brent Tucker
That's the show. Oh, Bo. Hope he's still there. I hope he's still listening because. Because this one's for you, brother. Oh, this one gets me riled up to this day. To this day. Back to the regular chats, Gamboozler brother. My buddy literally had a bullhorn go up his butt with when he was a pool riding. Yeah, it could get worse, I suppose. Alex Tucker said moist work. Oh, let's see here. Nick M. Where's all the tier one talk on the Tier One podcast?
Magnet
I don't know.
Brent Tucker
We talked about a tier one unit for the very first hour of the show. Toker the Green says, I heard Jizzer got a piss bottle kill you. I'd have to ask him. Whiskey T Fox. Pantera is the best. Oh, man, they have so many hits. I love it. Their music was catered to lift heavy weights. I love it.
Magnet
Yeah, I tried that already.
Unknown Speaker (possibly a guest or narrator)
It is.
Brent Tucker
It's a banger. Yeah, you Won't be lifting anything for a while there. Magnet. Oh, let's see here. Pov unemployed. Great episode tonight. Thank you. Thank you. Oh, Brent, warm up the vocals. Okay. Brayton Medlin, are you ready to trade your Corvette for a Ford yet? Absolutely. Absolutely not. There ain't a Ford product near the price range that compares to the Corvette and you know it. You want to talk trucks? You can talk trucks, but you want to talk Ford and Corvette. There's nothing to talk about. It's true. That's the Dodge I do I the Dodge Viper is on my original favorite. I had a poster in my room. I did love the Dodge Viper and I looked at Dodge Viper like used Dodge Vipers before I bought my event because I just had to look. I just had to look. And maybe the newer ones. It could have been an RT10. The RT10s were horrible. Roll up windows.
Drew
The newer ones are owned by a French company. It's a French company.
Brent Tucker
Was on the same team with Pat Payne by neck M5 minutes dude. I was in the same troop as Pat Payne and he's a great dude. Third coast cowboy says Brent. I hear you on gender reveal prices. Can we get closing song prices down? Give the common man a chance. No doubt.
Magnet
Oh, you got to want it.
Drew
Yeah.
Brent Tucker
Gloma 420. Speaking of screen names you just can't forget. Oh yeah. Brent, what flavor of cigar would you recommend for someone who wants to try for the first time?
Drew
That's Drew.
Brent Tucker
Drew's answer would be my answer. Send it Drew.
Drew

PI said I had three friends that own Dodge Vipers. I I also had three friends that have sold their Dodge Vipers. Oh man. What watch did you wear on target? I didn't wear a watch on target. I had a GPS on on one wrist and
Magnet
I would.
Brent Tucker
Of course that's not true. I would have had to have a watch because we would have had times that we would had to.
Drew
I would have had to been tracking.
Brent Tucker
I had a lot on my wrist. Actually. I can't remember the watch I had. I'm sure it was a suunto or a Garmin type watch. I also had a Garmin wrist GPS and of course a a wrist watch or a compass on me. Been a while. I almost said something wrong. Semper caulking. Love the coffee guys. Frcc for life. Thank you, brother. Thank you so much, T Bone. Brenton, were you the comic relief on all your teams?

Quinton Waddle.

Five minutes alone will be playing when Christ rolls in on the pale horse on judgment Day. I'd like to think that or something like that.
Drew
Hey, he likes to play the horn. Horn's loud. The trumpet's loud, baby.
Brent Tucker
You know what? I actually think he'll come in on a. On a corn song. It'll go. Which, by the way, was my little brother's walkout song to what's it called? The after wedding party.
Drew
Yeah, that's right. It was.
Brent Tucker
It was his walkout song to his wedding reception, and I'd never been so proud of him in my life.
Magnet
I already got one.
Brent Tucker
What do you got?
Magnet
I'm a real American.
Drew
Oh, yeah. Nice. Oh, good.
Brent Tucker
I thought he said Armarilla American. It did.
Drew
He did roll off his tongue like that.
Brent Tucker
Okay, I don't know what Armarillo has to do with your wedding, but.
Magnet
Okay.
Drew
He's talking about Brent. I was driving through Texas last month, and a lot of you guys are talking about the Dodge Viper. I literally saw a busted, old, rusting Dodge Viper in the front of a redneck's yard.
Brent Tucker
Oh, that hurts my heart. Makes. Makes me want to go save her.
Drew
That's hilarious.
Brent Tucker
Makes me want to go save her. Someone told me that I could play whatever I wanted, and this is a song that I would play pre mission, and it would just. They get me going.
Drew
It give you a premonition.
Magnet
This is.
Brent Tucker
This was my. This is one of my go to pre mission songs that gave me a premonition. But everything's gonna be okay. It gets to be going right now. It gets me going right now. Boy, Makes me want to pull that kid off the wall. Start getting ready.

Then I got another about another five hours of trying to let my. My energy go down again. Dag nab it. And let me tell you, those. Those boys on extortion were all hopped up listening to something, getting ready to stick it to them. I just wish they had the chance because they would have done it. I guarantee that.

He saw the tough boxes in my garage and he goes, hey, were you in the military? I Was like, yeah, we got to talk a little bit. And we have some common friends. What's called Mikey V. He was like, oh, Mike's a good friend of mine. And Mike's a. Just a. A ball. A ball buster from way back. And I was like, oh, you. You tell him that you're. You're a next door neighbor. Briton Tucker. He swung by today while I was doing a gym workout. He goes. He goes, yeah, Mike says he knows. He says you're gay. That's what I expected for Mike.
Magnet
So.
Brent Tucker
Yeah, that's good. I was kind of hoping he'd. He'd show up. But yeah, you guys hopefully hear it a little bit.

Magnet
Amanda will approve. We've been to Big Daddies, which.
Brent Tucker
Which means I won't do any because no. No gay wedding's gonna let me come and. And sing. And then no wedding with a female is gonna let me come and sing that. So that really just kind of side

Magnet
And.
Brent Tucker
And you're not wrong. So we can't do that as we got all of our sadness out the first hour for the rest of the night.

be fun if we made $15 bills,

but it turns out that's very illegal.
Brent Tucker
So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com switch upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for a 12 month plan required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees Extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes.

Host: Brent Tucker
Episode Theme: Remembrance of the Extortion 17 tragedy – the deadliest single loss of American life in special operations, honoring those lost, exploring its historical context, lessons learned, and broader issues facing veterans and the nation.
This special live episode is dedicated to the memory of Extortion 17, the call sign of a US military helicopter shot down on August 6, 2011, resulting in the loss of 38 lives—30 Americans (including 25 US special operators, predominantly SEAL Team 6), five US aviators, seven Afghan commandos, an interpreter, and a military working dog. Brent Tucker, a former Delta Force operator, leads a sobering, heartfelt discussion about the incident’s significance, its context in special operations history, and what it means for the broader veteran and patriotic community.
Tone: Somber, reflective, deeply respectful, peppered with camaraderie, military humor, and tough discussions about war, service, remembrance, and the responsibilities of citizenship.
Timestamp: 03:10 – 04:14

Timestamp: 09:10 – 12:00
“If you want to know exactly how bad Extortion 17 was—it was twice as bad… [They] never got a chance to fight… It seems like a massive, massive tragedy – because it is.” — Brent Tucker [10:20]
Notes the bitter irony: 3 months after SEAL Team 6’s Osama bin Laden raid, this catastrophic loss.
Calls out conspiracy theories:
Timestamp: 11:06 – 13:50
Dispels narrative that the mission was a QRF (Quick Reaction Force) in defense of Rangers:
Recounts the dangers of helicopter insertions:
Calls for annual remembrance:
Timestamp: 14:20 – 18:18

Compares lessons from Vietnam and Afghanistan, referencing Hackworth’s “About Face”:
Timestamp: 21:05 – 22:42
On obligation to act as citizens:
Camaraderie and mutual respect among the military branches, lessons from Vietnam, and the importance of unity despite political disagreement.
Timestamp: 35:35 – 43:07
Ongoing; key timestamps: 24:53, 25:51, 35:35, 87:24, 130:24
Show’s live chat brings in running jokes (“tape measure-gate,” Brent’s height), behind-the-scenes stories (Drew’s haircut, feed store tales), and playful banter:
Superchats ask about:
Timestamp: 69:01 – 71:11
Timestamp: 72:00 – 83:51
Commentary on a recent mall shooting in Idaho—praising the “good guy with a gun” and using suppressors:
Debates: Suppressors vs. no suppressors for civilian self-defense; the reality of police response to armed civilians.
Gun stats banter: Florida vs. Montana gun ownership, “gunshine state” debates.
Timestamp: 122:53 – 129:47
Brent reacts to Sophie Cunningham’s stand in the WNBA:
Criticism of “attention economy” in sports, the pitfalls of subsidized leagues, and the dangers of putting “social justice” before good business.
“Everything in our culture has become extra”—riffs on over-the-top gender-reveal/birthday parties.
Extended Q&A covering:
Closing Comments:
“They never got a chance to fight. They were stuck in that helo. That’s why it’s such a tragedy—because it absolutely is.” — Brent [10:49]
“Every year we will ensure that Extortion 17 is remembered.” — Brent [13:06]
“You don’t owe me a thank you for your service. …Be a great American.” — Brent [22:02]
“If you disagree with the war, you can disagree all you want—but don’t disagree with the men and women that go over there and fight…” — Magnet [22:21]
“No unit is perfect. Units are made up of imperfect people… but the SEAL community is absolutely chock full of amazing Americans.” — Brent [43:07]
“You have to learn from things and make sure we don’t make the same mistake twice. We have to honor these men, and we also have to learn from it.” — Brent [20:27]
“If this nation goes down… every loss in war was for nothing.” — Brent [21:17]
This episode masterfully balances reverence, military authenticity, and camaraderie. Brent’s sincerity—combined with well-grounded history, no-nonsense myth-busting, and honoring of the fallen—makes for a deeply moving, educational, and unflinchingly honest tribute to the men lost in Extortion 17, as well as to the broader community of those who serve.
The podcast’s dynamic includes somber reflection, well-placed levity, topical debate, and strong audience engagement—grounded in the language and culture of the US special operations community.
For listeners new and old:
If you want to understand the loss, legacy, and lessons of Extortion 17—not just as a historical event but as an enduring call to unity, gratitude, vigilance, and national purpose—this episode of Tier1 Podcast stands as an essential listen.
