• [03:24] Brent questions the merits and risks of direct entry programs into special ops.

• Sean’s Insight:

  • “At first I was kind of against it…you’re supposed to need four years [prior service] because of the maturity required. But people underestimate the quality of applicants in 18X-ray—many had college degrees or real-world experience.” [04:01]

3. Unit Leadership & Maintaining Standards

• [06:56] Q&A: How do troop commanders compare to operators in skills?

Transcript

[A]

Is it live?

[B]

It appears to be.

[A]

Welcome back to another episode of the Tier one Live Thursday nights for the Patriots. I'm feeling a little more Green Beret than normal because my very first team sergeant from Special Forces is here with me, Sean Keane. I. I'm sorry. Command Sergeant Major, retired. Sean Keen, welcome.

[C]

I appreciate Ren. That's correct. It is, Command Sergeant Major, so I appreciate it.

[D]

I know.

[A]

I'm just glad you didn't make me say it in parade rest.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

On the couch, as always. We have Magnet from Lion Arms.

[C]

Yay.

[A]

And you guys probably already guessed it because we started on time. Behind the desk, making it happen, we have the lovely Devin.

[B]

Hey.

[C]

Hey.

[A]

Thank you guys so much for watching. Let's start this thing out with a toast. Sean, you want to guess what this toast is?

[C]

I know exactly what it is.

[A]

You already know it.

[C]

It is.

[A]

Then let's go.

[C]

Here's to us and those like us.

[A]

Damn few.

[C]

And they're all dead. Salu.

[A]

Let's. We just got done doing a recording with Sean. You'll get to hear his. His whole story. Sean. We talk about it a little bit on the recording, but not only were you one of the most professional people that I worked with, unlike this. Yeah. Well, I need.

[D]

I need it.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Thank you. You're also one of the funnest guys that I've worked with, and so even, like I said, the recording is usually pretty professional, but we couldn't even make it through the whole recording without. Without a few jabs.

[C]

As it should be. As it should be.

[A]

Yes. As it should be. Oh. So What'd you do? 31 years.

[C]

31 years.

[A]

All in special operations.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

You were in the. What they call the rep 63 program, which was the original 18x ray program. I know that's gonna be a lot of jargon for. For some people, but for that. Some people know exactly what that means when it comes to that. Here's an interesting question. It can be whether it be the rep 63 program or the 18x ray program, because the same thing it is from the streets to special operations. And I know. I know you wouldn't be biased, because it seemed like you would be. Do you think that's a good program? And I don't care if it's for the seals, I'll give the rangers a pass because they need privates, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But do you think, whether it be Navy seals, Green Berets, marsoc, Should we have a program where you go from the streets right into special operations?

[C]

Well, I think what I mean, the marsoc, well, before it was marsoc, just call it Force Recon was kind of their specialty guys.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And the SEAL teams, they're always doing that. Generally speaking, you're coming out of high schools, going through programs kind of thing. It was with the Army Green Beret and Special Forces. Is that. Yeah. At first I was kind of against it, even though I went to the program kind of piece, you know, because the Special Forces being raised are. You're originally designed to have to have four years military experience before you can even go to selection and be part of that. Because it is, it takes more mature individuals because of the circumstances you're put in. You're the only U.S. personnel in the country that to make decisions on the ground.

[D]

Right.

[C]

So you want more maturity.

[D]

That.

[C]

But what came out of the 18x ray program was something I don't think people really realize was the category, the, the level of people coming in there with, you know, college degrees or backgrounds and stuff like that was amazing. So they were really pulling some pretty mature guys already. They really weren't pulling too many kids right out of high school. They were pulling guys who had already had experience in life. And that's where people, I think were. Whether they're expecting that or not, I don't know. But that's the experience they got out of it. You know, no matter what, any, any, anywhere you go, you're going to get a few sprinkling of turds. That's just life, you know. And I don't care what, what, what unit you're in, there's always going to be a turd. It's just the way life is now. They're more a high end, higher level turd.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Than the low level turds. But it's kind of one of those things, you know. But you, the majority of what we got out of that was, was pretty amazing guys coming out, you know, it's true.

[A]

You know, I served with a lot of 18x rays through, through my Q course. And the conundrum was, of course they got a lot of hate. Um, it's just easy to hate them. But what people forgot was because they'll always go, those guys like some, some of the bad guys. I should say most, but not all. Most of the turds in our q course were 18x rays. Again, if you want to. I mean, they're comparative turds, right?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But also almost all or, or at least 50, 50 of the best guys in our class were also 18x rays.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So it was not of a a dud of a program at all. And I think you, you hit the nail on the head when you said they had four years. That's it was meant to be. Although this isn't what you were, you came in. When you hear the, the episode you came in right in at 18, doing all this. But that is, that is the minority, you know, for, for success rate. You are a, you are an outlier know to that. But we started allowing guys in, it kind of became subjective. It became something you have to have life experience. Well, what does that mean exactly? You know, but all the guys that came in a little bit older, 22, 23, 24, those 18x rays were vastly better than, than the whole program.

[C]

Yeah, that's exactly true. I mean they came in guys were triathletes and you know, like I said, the guys were finishing up law degrees and all that kind of stuff out of there. A couple guys out of Harvard kind of thing. You know, they were really just, they were above, above and beyond, you know, and that's what, that's what really grabbed. Yeah, that's in all reality, that's what they were really looking for.

[A]

That's right. We just, we just needed to do a slightly better job of being selective about it. But make no mistake about was it was a way more of a positive on the community than it was a negative. Let's get right to some super chats.

[B]

Hell yeah.

[A]

Let's get to it. What do we got?

[B]

We got Mr. Bjorn7926 coming in. How do unit troop commanders compare to the operators on core operator tasks like cqb, shooting, moving and communicating? How different does their day to day look like compared to the operators?

[A]

That's a great question. So we, we don't have, and, and you already said, I believe you said troop commanders, but we don't have officers on a team level at, at the unit. But when they go through otc, they, they are go, they're not going through officer and enlisted otc. I mean they're going through otc. So they have to meet the same shooting standards and CQB standards as everyone else. But of course the irony of that is, is as soon as you're done with that, they'll have a couple extra things they'll have to do that's more officer related as far as briefing to make sure they can do their specific job. But if you're a bad shooter and the world's best briefer, you're not going forward. You can't, you can't command People that you can't do the job. I know that resonates with you as well, Sean. You're always really big on that. So once you, once you get to the unit, they'll. They'll probably never go into the house with a gun again. Again.

[D]

Not.

[A]

Not shooting targets, whether that be training or, or real world. So their day to day is vastly different because they are strictly up and up and out after that. We're gonna tell a lot of stories on this podcast. So keeping the standard is. Has been a theme almost all day and it's been a theme for your whole life. So we're in Iraq and being a. I don't. Maybe it's just a dive thing. Maybe because dive teams are almost more seal like to some degree in culture, and that's why pull ups were so important to us. Or maybe just because pull ups is just a good. You already know I'm going. Because pull ups is just separates the men from the boys. I don't know what it is. Yeah, but, but our team loved doing pull ups.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

There's one medic didn't love doing pull ups as much. And our, our rule was we put a pull up bar by our compound gate. And when. And, and it's on surveillance video. And when you leave the gate, do you remember how five or ten?

[C]

I think it was like five.

[A]

Okay. Like five.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Although that doesn't sound like a lot. You're in and out of the gate maybe five, ten, five, ten times a day. And it's not just when you just go out, it's five pull ups. When you come back in, it's five pull ups. So you're knocking out 60, 70, 80. You know, you knock out a lot of pull ups that way, but it

[C]

got to a point you're like, do I really need to go out and get there?

[A]

Right? Like, you know, I don't know if I need to go check the mail. I'm gonna check the mail tomorrow. Or like, hey, hey, hey, Sid, you gonna go check the mail today? If you do, can you, can you go check my stuff? Whatever it is, you know, can you give me a to go box? I'm at like 90 today, but we had one medic. What did he, what did he. He just pull it. You just pull the pull up bar.

[C]

He pulled a pull up car roll up bar out of the camera. He was so pissed.

[A]

He was so mad at that rule. Which didn't help his cause. It didn't help his cause. And I don't know why he thought that was going to be the solution to that.

[C]

Show a sign of weakness and man, we will, we'll dive into that goddam that room.

[A]

We'll go to one more. We'll go to a few more super chats. I got, I got a lot of stories with Shot, but I got a few more that I want to get to sooner than later. What do we got?

[B]

So, Bjorn again, any chance of a Jeff Teagues podcast?

[A]

Yes, I think there's a good chance of that. For whatever reason, I don't think, although his name's come up, I don't think we've officially reached out to him. But he'd be, he'd be an easy one to reach out to and a great one. Especially with the child rescue work that I've done and the child rescue work that he's been a big, A big part of ever since his retirement. He'd be, he'd be a great guest to have on. So that is, that is something we need to do. Jeff Teagues.

[B]

Awesome.

[C]

I have a quick question.

[A]

Brent, you get, you got it.

[C]

You have a portrait of yourself up here. It's kind of weird because I'm portrait painted. You guys can't see it. He's smoking a cigarette. But I mean if you have a chance to make your arms look good, you should do that. And then in his photo, it's done. It's an arm. Looks pretty spaghetti.

[B]

Kind of hyper realistic spaghetti.

[C]

Like I'm gonna say it, man. It's not. I mean, I'm just saying if you're going to do something like this, like the guy who's, oh, you know, Dave's killer breads, he had his arms magnified for that thing, you know, Then just go at it. Here we go. He's pulling it off now. Look at this, look at that. I don't see a whole lot of it. Looks. I would, I don't know, I kind of go more spaghetti on that one. I'm just saying.

[A]

Good arms.

[C]

Those are deployment arms. That's three months after it.

[A]

I, I didn't paint it.

[C]

By the way. Can you make my arms a little bigger, please?

[A]

You're acting like I painted it. I didn't paint it. In fact, it was a gift. It was a gift. But you, you damn right. If I'd have known I'd had a little bit of. I had a little bit of input

[C]

for that arm side.

[A]

All right, what else we got?

[B]

Oh, we'll do a drum roll for this one. Mr. Brandon Bailey, 9446 proposed to my beautiful girlfriend, Nicol Weekend. She said yes.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Be on the lookout for the invitations. Outro song Love story. Taylor Swift. Just kidding. Real outro song. D from Metallica for the Patriots.

[A]

D Eve, Metallica. All right, I'm torn on this. I want to say congratulations. I want to help celebrate with. With the crew, the Patriots. And I want to be happy for you. But you didn't propose on a live. You didn't come here and really surprise her on a live show. I'd love that. I'd love that. I'd love a party.

[D]

I already did it.

[A]

Not on the live, you didn't. That's what I want. That's what I know. I know We've hit it vague when people are trying to propose on the show. That's what makes us. That's what makes sure. I mean, people love their. Their sports teams so much, they'll propose. That's how. That's how, you know, true love. That. That's. I was gonna go true love with that, but. But okay, Disney made. Some would say Disney has made it big and people propose there. I'm just saying, yes, there is some sort of a connection with. You've made it big. When people are proposing on Build a

[D]

castle behind the thing and then they'll.

[A]

Is that what it is? Am I missing a castle? Well, there's a white castle not too far away.

[C]

I mean, most of your clientele says

[A]

mo mobile podcast in front of the white cast. It's got too far. What's next?

[B]

Back to super chats. Holy fook. Coming in.

[A]

Holy folk.

[B]

Holy folk. Here he is. Evening, Sean. Bigfoot or UFOs. Any encounters you can share and do you believe?

[C]

Do I believe? Well, I lived in Montana for a while.

[A]

Get a little closer. Sorry, sorry. Bring it in.

[C]

Bring it in. You know what I think about? Black things in the face. Come on.

[A]

I know.

[B]

Stop drooling.

[C]

Bad memories. Bad memories. Bigfoot sure lived in Montana. I saw plenty of Bigfoots up there.

[A]

You did not.

[C]

Did not now. But I will tell you this. I will tell you this. I spent a little time in. In Nevada there at. At the tonopah testing range.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

If you know Area 51 out there running around and, man, I spent about two weeks out there running around training, and there's some really weird freaky stuff out there in the middle of nowhere, man, that I was really kind of surprised. Like maybe there's some weird shit going on.

[A]

Let's just get right to the point. Do you believe in Bigfoot?

[C]

I don't Believe in Bigfoot.

[A]

Do you think Bigfoot ever existed or just a complete hoax?

[C]

I don't think it's a hoax. I think they were just mistaken by what it was.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

You know, because I lived in Montana for a while, I never saw a Bigfoot. I thought I would maybe, you know.

[A]

You know something I think is. Is interesting is when like different cultures and like we're talking hundreds of years ago and there was really no connection to them. Yet they have the same mythical animals, if you want to talk about.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Whether it be dragons or dinosaurs. Not mythical. But there would be no other way for them to both draw up, you know, a brontosaurus. Like. Well, that's. They. They have that down in South America and it's over there in this other continent. Way before the Internet existed. Had. You know, why is that in both places? So I need you to. Next time you go down to Mexico, see if they have. Is there. Is there a Mexican version of Bigfoot? Is that the Koopa Libre Libre? I always say it so fast that I actually don't know.

[D]

Sounds like a Mexican wrestler.

[A]

Nacho Libre. So close.

[C]

Sorry.

[D]

Sorry.

[B]

Chupacabra.

[A]

Are you.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Chupacabra. Is that what you're talking about?

[C]

I like Kuba libre.

[A]

We need to hop off this subject immediately.

[D]

Did you see the podcast from Joe Rogan? Devin. He had Devin Larratt on the spell. The Canadian special forces guy. No. So he was a Canadian special forces guy for I think 16 years and he was over overseas and there's actually. He's from Canada and he said that up north there's some big people like 9 foot tall up there.

[A]

And where in Canada?

[D]

Canada, like way up north. He said.

[A]

You're telling me Canada has nine foot tall people somewhere you can.

[D]

Well, look it up.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[C]

Well, they call it America's top hat Canada. And if you ever see the picture, that's serious top hat. So it could be a nine foot guy in that top hat in the pictures. Just saying.

[A]

All right. I. I always see. Oh, there he is. That doesn't make you. That doesn't make you six, seven. All right. What about six foot guys? You do what you got to do. Do not judge me on this. But. But for the. For the good of the cause.

[D]

Right.

[A]

Going on Joe Rogan would be a huge bump to Joe Rogan. If I went on there. He need. But you're gonna have a cansoft guy on there and not a Delta Force guy. The only reason why you're gonna have him on there is because he's gonna say nine foot. Guess what? I went to Canada and I saw 10 foot tall guys come at. Come at me. Joe.

[D]

You know who he is, right?

[A]

Get the invitation? Joe Rogan. No, I've heard of him.

[D]

The guy that he had on.

[A]

No, I don't.

[D]

The arm wrestler guy.

[A]

Oh, he's the arm wrestler guy. I do know you're talking about. Yeah, I met him once at a hotel.

[D]

So he was a Canadian special force.

[A]

That's right.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I was leaving the hotel. I just know him from, like, social media. And I saw they were having an arm wrestling competition. It's right here in Florida. It was not too far from here.

[D]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

And he stops me and goes, hey, what's your name? And I give. I was like. It was like. I didn't say, like, I know you are. But he shakes my hand, as you can imagine, massive mutt hands. And he goes, you look familiar. I'm like, I don't.

[D]

I don't know why.

[A]

And he guessed a couple things like, no, that's not it. And I'm. And we just parted ways. But, yeah, he actually. Actually met him.

[C]

Great story.

[D]

Rent.

[C]

Great.

[A]

I met him.

[C]

That was awesome.

[A]

Have you met him, Sean?

[C]

I have not.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

But at least I would have lied to give a little more upbeat, that kind of thing.

[A]

We were still shaking hands where he was like, I guess there's nothing. And then I continue to grip harder and harder, and so did he. And I was like, oh, I'm only halfway done. And I went full strength on that. Brought him to his knees. He's like, you should arm wrestle. I'm like, nah.

[D]

What's the town? Or is it. Is it. I forgot if it's Afghanistan or Iraq, what's the one where they say they see big? Afghanistan.

[A]

Never seen it. Ever been all over that place. Sean used to be on two and three week journeys all over the hinterlands. I don't want to speak for you. Tell me about any giant experiences you had in Afghanistan.

[C]

Never had any kind of giant human being.

[A]

Never met. I've never met anyone from Afghanistan who's met a giant. I'm so tired of that. Who?

[D]

He had one.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

You know what? I met two. Get me on Joe Rogan. Do what I got to do.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

At this point, do what I gotta do.

[D]

You better start arm wrestling now. That picture doesn't do you justice. So.

[A]

All right, here's a funny story. You know what happened right after that picture? We were on the rooftop in a certain country and A bunch of guys that. They look like Russians. We're in. In the same country, and we had a partner force next next to us and whatever. At some point, like an hour after that picture, I got into an arm wrestling competition with one of the. With one of the little brown guys. Here's what's worse. You see how massive my arms are in that picture? As you've already noted.

[C]

Yes, sir.

[A]

This guy's a normal looking partner for Sky. I thought I was gonna break his arm, like, immediately. Like, what's that over the top? I thought I was about to go over the top on this guy. I'm starting to struggle and I get overcome with fear going, can't be embarrassed here. If I lose, I can't go back to work. Like, I have to reside right here. Out of absolute fear. I beat that guy. Gave me the strength I needed. I was worried for a couple seconds. That felt like an eternity anyway.

[D]

All right.

[A]

Is that a better story for you, Sean?

[C]

That was better. That was. At least you ended well on that one. Thank you. I was giving you.

[D]

He beat a.

[A]

Judging me about my whole life. He's like. He's like my dad. That. That I. I've just never been. Are you proud of me yet?

[C]

Dad was the. The first. Rule number one, don't embarrass me. Don't embarrass the team. That's been.

[A]

That's been told many times in my presence. All right, what else we got?

[B]

Holy food. Came in with a three banger back to back. So. Second one from. Holy fook, Sean. Glocker Sig.

[A]

Knew it.

[C]

Knew. This is coming up. I have a Glock and I have a Sig. Whatever's in my hands. My favorite weapon.

[B]

Do you sit or stand to pee?

[C]

I stand all the time. Sometimes I stand on top of Brent

[B]

and have you ever pulled your taint?

[C]

I have never pulled my taint, but I've heard the story.

[A]

When's the last time you wrote a mechanical bull?

[C]

It's been like three days.

[A]

Real bulls of Mexico, Brett.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Thank you for your answers. Those were all questions Brent has on the pre qual questionnaire to have a guest on the show. Outro Modern day cowboy by Tesla.

[A]

All right, what's up? Got it, got it, got it, got it.

[B]

And holy fuk. With this third Brent, you're looking at bigfoot the wrong way. He is the world champion of hide and seek and has perfected his craft. What do you have to say to that? Outro again, Modern day cowboy.

[A]

I mean, and if you look at it through that light. Yes, he is a master of his craft. If, if that is true. I know that's a joke, but this is the serious part about it. That, that always at some point when you play hide and seek long enough, you're gonna die hiding. Okay, you're telling me we've never found a set of bones that would match a Bigfoot like creature? I just, I have a problem with that. So I can't, I can't. I can't believe it. But maybe. Apparently I haven't gone north in Canada far enough because there should be nine foot skeleton bones from the, from the descendants of Goliath.

[C]

And those should be easy to find.

[A]

It should be easy to find. Should be easy to find. All right.

[B]

All righty. Just another 11B. Aloha all. It's payroll week and I'm broke. So this is what you get. 20 bucks. I think that you have a set of panos that you could pawn off.

[A]

Just kidding.

[B]

Don't do that. Oh, gosh. Daniel Hayawazi, 2054.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Sean, did you go to Brent's green gray team room?

[C]

The old green gray? I heard about this story. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Which again. But the backstory is he didn't go to mine. I went to his. That was, that was one of the first team rooms I would have ever been into SF and the story, because his episode won't come out for a few weeks more than likely. But I, I did have a very short stint with another team, but I didn't do anything with them, so I don't really consider them my first team. I didn't do a J set with them. Didn't. Didn't go to combat with them.

[C]

Was Mike your team commander?

[A]

He was Mike R. Yeah. Yep. Yep. And, And Chris G. Yeah.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[A]

And so I, I, I quickly hopped over to the dive team and so which. Sean was the team sergeant on. Team sergeant of. And so that's. He, he was the, the first leadership intro. I got into special operations and special forces particular. And yeah, SF's one of those things. It's, it's like the. Hey, that's, that's my little brother. Like, I can pick on him, but you can't pick on them. So there's, there are some stories out there. There's, you know, some SF guys that, that we're not proud of. I don't believe we hold the standard completely as we should as a, as a community, unfortunately. That's just being honest.

[C]

As a community. You're absolutely right.

[A]

However. And I've said it. I've been to some pretty high up places and still to this day, some of the best people I ever worked with were Green Berets and in Special Forces. It's an amazing place to work. Some of the best missions I ever did was in Special Forces and that's why it was important for me to make it over to your team because I, I knew that's, that's what I trained for. I trained and I, I joined after 9 11. I went to the Q course. I trained expecting to work with a particular caliber of guys. And your team were those guys like I was not disappointed with, with that experience. So good.

[C]

Thank you. Solid energy in that team. And some of the best guys came out of that team.

[A]

We still got a group text for, for all the, all the studs on that team. I, I keep in contact with you guys more than I keep in contact with guys from my old unit. You know, it was, it was, it was a special team and we did a lot of cool stuff including that, that trip to Jamaica that we took.

[C]

That'll be a story later on.

[A]

A story later on. All right, what else we got?

[D]

We got.

[B]

Holy fook. Again, I wanted to say thank you to both Magnet Allian arms and just another 11B on helping me procure some quote unquote things before the new quote unquote. Pew pew. Laws change here in Colorado August 1st. They have been great to work with and done an amazing job. Modern day cowboy Tesla.

[A]

Oh man. Modern day cowboy Tesla again. Holy fuch. Really wants that one. Sounds like he's going to get it. Here's an update almost. I'm sure it'll come up here in a little bit. So I had to re upload. The Kyle Morgan episode is just the bane of my existence right now. Yeah, so Kyle Morgan was. Went to OTC with me. This is kind of a big name in the, in the tactical industry. Owns Blue Bearing Solutions. He was going to be guest number two on my show. And this was early on. Me doing my own show, doing my own editing. Figure it all out. Accidentally deleted his whole episode like it never happened. And so he comes back months. He lives in North Carolina still. Yeah, he's in the area. Comes back, we record again and they make fun of me as they should have for, for deleting the episode. And, and now YouTube deleted the episode. I wake up this, this morning and Nick is like, hey, just so you know, YouTube deleted. Took. Took your episode down. I hate it. I really don't understand YouTube. You can't talk to a person. They just give you, like a fairly generic thing. Sometimes it's not that generic. Sometimes it is. I believe it got taken down for the promotion of cigars, which is actually technically a prohibited item. So I'm in the wrong every episode that I promote those, but they've never given me a hard time yet. But lately I put a picture when I. What I do, and it has a bottle of bourbon house, and it shows pictures of cigars. And I think I made it too easy for the algorithm to. To find me, to catch me. And so. So I had to re. I had to take that out and then re upload it. So if anyone wants to know what happened to the Kyle Morgan episode, YouTube deleted it. I've uploaded it by taking that out,

[D]

and I think was like 30,000 views.

[A]

I think at one point it was. It was. It was crushing. It was crushing. But we'll. We'll see. So if you guys can go back to that episode, give it a comment and a. Like, watch it for a little bit and get it back in the algorithm for me. All right, what else we got?

[B]

We got Lieutenant Dan finally catching my second live. Here's 20 for some course banquets. Have y' all considered interviewing a trucker? Much love.

[A]

You know, maybe not for a recorded episode. I think a trucker would be like a 20, 30 year vet trucker in the guest seat. You know what kind of stories they have. Are you looking good ones?

[C]

Are you talking like a trucker? Like semi trucker? You talking a trucker like in Iraq and Afghanistan was getting blown up kind of thing?

[A]

No, I'm talking about a trucker here in America dealing with lot lizards in the law.

[D]

I know an owner of a company.

[A]

You know, I. I mean, I do. Oh, okay.

[D]

He's a trucker.

[A]

Well, is he gonna tell me about the finances of his. Of his company? I'm looking for stories. I'm looking for stories. Magnet.

[D]

Do you think that you start a company, you just hire people to. You have to do it first.

[C]

Not always.

[D]

Not always. You guys are rich.

[A]

I'll have you know I'm a thousandaire.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I don't know why we don't use that term. You know, you have to be in the millions to have a term millionaire. Okay, I am a thousandaire.

[D]

Not me. So you're rich.

[A]

What else? What else we got? I'm done. I'm done bragging. I'm done bragging.

[B]

We got Josh Hendricks. Have y' all been keeping an eye on the new Florida governor race? Who do you all want to win and why? Great. Live. Have some beers for me.

[A]

Thank you. Thank you. So Sean was in politics for a little bit. You ran for mayor. So you still keep. Keep. Keep track of Florida politics and local politics or not after that?

[C]

I do, because apparently people think I have knowledge and influence. They contact me to who I'm looking at, kind of. It's. But I try to do my best because it's so. It's so toxic at times. Yeah, man. Whether the left or right side there just gets so toxic, man. It's just like, hey, man, relax and think about the common sense rules. But they don't want to do that. If. If the. If the right side wins, the left side just wants to beat them for just a beating kind of thing, you know? So you're involved with the politics going on right now. So with the new governor race, it's going right back to it kind of thing. So I'm following it a little bit just because, unfortunately, I kind of have to now because I'm being pulled more and more and asked to run again for mayor.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Which I'm still. I'm kind of pretty busy right now, so I'm looking to run it for mayor again right now.

[A]

We had Jay Collins on the show, which is a. Yeah, a Green Beret.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm a big fan of him. Not just because he came on the show and not just because he's a Green Beret, but those are two solid reasons to like him. Yeah, but he's Lieutenant governor, so if you like what Desantis is doing, then wouldn't you want that, you know, continuity? It seems pretty logical to me. I just saw. I haven't seen a lot about Fishburn, another Republican in. In the race. I know a lot of people like him. I saw one clip of him recently that actually made me go, hold up. Maybe. Maybe we should be looking at him. I know this sounds like a silly thing to bring up, and it's. It's not silly, but it's not. It's not popular. But what he said is, right now, I'll mimic him. You know, there's like, street takeovers and all the riots that happened on. On the beach. And he said in an interview, he's like, hey, someone asked him about him. He's like, well, yeah, I'll. We have to stop him. We have to stop him. I was down south just, like, two weeks ago, and we had a whole gang of, like, electric bike and. And teenagers on their bikes go right in front of me. I Had to slam on my brakes without plowing into them. And you know who was just following them nice and slow and quietly doing nothing about it? The police officers. And they just run across a six lane highway and screeching tires to not run over them. And I'm like, what are you doing? Like, why aren't we doing anything about it? And, and so Fishburne goes, I have one observation that I just, I can't pretend like I'm not seeing it. Almost all of them that's doing this is young black children. And we need to do something that the black community has to come together and help stop this. And immediately people call him a racist and they don't like what he said. But you know what? We all see the videos. We see it, it's, he's not wrong. And if you want to solve a problem, misidentifying the problem will never solve it. And he had the guts to say that. And I, and I appreciate that.

[C]

I think especially coming from a military backgrounds, you're, you're, you're not racist, you're ident to, hey, let's identify that target. What is it? You know, describe the target. And so with that, whereas people have a chance to avoid it. Like, I had some of my son's friends were in a car one day and were. He's trying to describe someone over there and I say, which one? And he goes, this guy goes, are you talking about the Asian kid? He goes, oh, we can't say that. I go, why not? He's the only Asian kid there. Just say he was the Asian kid. It's just that easy.

[A]

Negative.

[C]

It's not a negative.

[A]

Description.

[C]

Description, that's all it is. But people get wrapped up around it, man. It's like, dude, just relax. I'm just describing someone, man.

[D]

Right.

[A]

Like I said, my, my biggest thing isn't to point out the faults of, of the black community. It's not to be racist. And, and just, it's just, just like you said, it's just factual. It, it's insane. I want to fix problem. Most people want their community to be better. And if we don't properly identify a problem, we'll never properly identify a solution. And he had the guts to say that, so I will give him credit for that.

[D]

Yeah, so I've been watching the Patrick Carr show. He's an Orlando guy, okay. And it's a great podcast. He has a, he had the opd. What is he, the chief? And they were talking about the downtown, how downtown's gotten and it's gotten terrible.

[A]

Downtown Orlando is atrocious.

[D]

Oh, my gosh. Terrible. With all the fighting and all that.

[A]

Yeah.

[D]

And the bars over there have to pay a certain fee every night to be open past 12 to pay for a police officer, but the police officer doesn't stand in front of their bar. They're paying like, almost like a toll for them to be in that area. And it's crushing downtown because they're not. They're not. They're not paying for one single officer to be in front of their place.

[A]

Right.

[D]

They're paying for an officer to be in that area and each bar has to pay for that.

[A]

Sounds very mob, like, for security. I don't.

[C]

I don't like that there.

[A]

I don't like. Doesn't sound pro business, that's for sure.

[C]

Some ground truth on that one.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Let me tell you. And, and you've been here a long time. I grew up here. That's not the way Orlando used to be. Orlando was. Downtown Orlando was super, super fun. I love going to downtown Orlando. My twenties. Always had a good time.

[D]

But think about who the mayor was before. Buddy Dyer's been the mayor for 20 years. He's not rerunning now for mayor. Yeah. Buddy Dyer's been the mayor for 20 years.

[A]

Well, sounds like he's part of the problem. But again, it goes back to really the. The Fishburne story as well. I can tell you. It's not. It's not. It's not kosher for me to just come out and say exactly what the problem is. But I will tell you, there's been a demographic change and that doesn't. And I don't know what else to say. I don't know what to say.

[C]

That's definitely here in America, man. America has really gotten revolved around. We can't say directly what it is. We got to beat around the bush and kind of thing. I mean, you don't see that in Europe as much anymore. You see that very much like in Ireland. Ireland's sparking up pretty good over there. What's going on. And they're coming directly into it, you know, they're not putting up with it, you know, and. But that's not. It's just, you know, a lot of people come from outside the country and the same thing.

[A]

Someone's going to look at this, someone's going to clip it somewhere down the road. Someone's going to go, oh, I don't know. That's like, that show is racist. Because they, they said this or had these things. And that's. And they won't see everything we said. And. And that's just not true. That's right.

[D]

Look at it.

[A]

Absolutely. All right, what else we got?

[B]

We got Marco Cruz. What kind of shampoo does Sean use? And does he like hot Cheetos? K by

[C]

really? It's not really a shampoo. It's the conditioner that really sets it apart. To be honest with you, I spent a lot of money on my conditioner when I travel. You don't get these curls like this for nothing. You can buy any shampoo, but really focus on your conditioner.

[B]

What do you use?

[A]

What do you use?

[B]

Tell the people.

[C]

Pantene Pro V. Yeah, straight Panteen. Nothing fancy, Man, I thought you're more

[A]

of a herbal essence.

[C]

Nope, doesn't. Doesn't. Doesn't hold the curls well. It gets too heavy.

[A]

Doesn't hold the curls well. Okay.

[D]

That's the same.

[C]

That's the same you're using on his beard, but it goes straight.

[A]

What is going on here? Can we get back to a different super chat immediately, Devin?

[B]

Of course. We can do whatever you want. The crew table. Just showing some love. Thank you. And then we got Right Wing Nut. Hey, buddy. I didn't know y' all were having Sammy Hagar on. Sweet.

[A]

Welcome, Sean.

[B]

Thanks for your service.

[A]

Well done.

[C]

Let's just go through the list. I get Sammy Hager, Nickelback. I got Sean White every once in a while. What is the other one? I get. Oh, I get the Carrot Top every once in a while in that one too. But usually Sammy Hager's one had more shorter hair, a shorter style than there were just more Sammy Hager at that point. And I have a Mezcal brand and he has a Tequila brand.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

That's right.

[A]

Got that. Got that in common.

[B]

All right. Run. Tsrr. Really appreciate all your lessons taught this past two days and the fantastic instruction. Please continue the great work.

[C]

You're welcome. Okay.

[B]

All right, girl. Dad 13. I ask every live Sean. Favorite Kid up song. Also, just got my cloud defense. Rain 3.0, lights in. Cleared my two story house in 2.8 seconds. Blinded both dogs. Mom fell down the stairs, but the house is clear. Cheers, boys.

[C]

Nice.

[A]

Love it. Love it. Favorite, favorite, favorite get up song.

[C]

Favorite Kid up song. Oh, man, that's a tough one there. It's been a while since I get up.

[A]

Yeah. You know what's a little bit unique? Let's go. Let's go back to Beijing for a second. We didn't really have A kit room because we, we had a great place. But all of our rooms were big enough that all of our kids were in our room. So we didn't really have a common area to, to, to kid up at.

[C]

Yours was three shades of black.

[A]

Three shades of black in Syria. Sure was.

[C]

I don't even remember what my favorite Kid up song.

[A]

I can tell you back then that rotation mine would have been Descent by Fear Factory. That one still gets me going, you know.

[C]

It was a good one. When we were in 06.07 Iraq only we used to love that song. Everybody else didn't like it. It just came out. God, I can't remember who it was, man. And once I figured out who it was, remember that it kind of starts off kind of slow and it won. It gets builds and builds and builds.

[B]

Sing it.

[C]

I can't. I'm trying to sing it. Trying to sing it right now.

[A]

Hold on. I, I.

[C]

You know what I'm talking about?

[A]

High pitched voice kind of. All right, let, if you think about it later.

[C]

Yeah. We'll come back to that.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

That's a tough one, man. That's really. Because every guy, every, every time we have music be pumping, someone else had something pumping, you know, so it was never consistent. Gosh.

[A]

I'm trying to think of. It's not the song you're thinking of, but there is a song. Oh, oh, I got it. Is it Lazy Eye?

[C]

Yes.

[A]

Is that the song you think about?

[C]

Lazy Ey man? Yes.

[A]

Who sings that song? Does anyone know the song we're talking about?

[D]

I know what you're talking about.

[A]

Okay, go go back to the super chats and I'm about to play the song. At least a little bit of it. Just for old time's sake.

[C]

Because what it was significance about it is that it's a slow buildup. Right. Like you're getting your kid on. Right.

[A]

Sil sun pickups.

[C]

There it is. Slowly building your kid on, getting ready. And then it just, it just starts going at it, man. I just love it.

[B]

All right.

[C]

As we have some background that is. Oh man, what a memories that song.

[A]

I don't know if it's going to be loud enough.

[B]

Oh yeah, there it is.

[A]

And that's why I said, hey, does he have a, does it have a high, a high pitch voice? Oh, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

[D]

I was just listening to this on

[A]

the way here where you really. I haven't heard that. I haven't thought of this song for a while.

[D]

It's in my YouTube loop.

[A]

I can still smell the Building in Beijing.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I can still remember watching you mop the floors, like dancing with the mop on like Saturday mornings.

[C]

Loved it, man. And then it goes for a bit and then it gets like bam. Gets heavy. Yeah, it's like awesome.

[D]

It does.

[A]

All right, we'll get this. It gets. It gets more heavy.

[C]

It gets heavy. It's heavy.

[A]

All right, what else we got?

[B]

All right, right wing nut beckon. Sean, do you ever do any training at Fort Polk? I live 10 minutes from there.

[C]

I don't. I really don't do. Man, I know Fort Polk well. I. I don't. My life has taken a different route than Brent's route than in life. So most of my time is actually spent. Most of my time is spent in a little town called MIT Mexico outside of Oaxaca City. I work my maestro mescalero for my brand. Ok. Mezcal. So I am like the only, I'm told, the only gringo apprentice mescale in Mexico. So that's what I do now.

[B]

You're two super chats too soon for that.

[C]

We're getting there.

[B]

We're getting there, Sean.

[C]

Oh, sorry, sorry, sorry.

[B]

All right, iceman. Get that 18 wheeler trucker talking about seeing the black dog. The guy worked 26 hour days at the ball busting factory just to go work his second job at the concrete drying facility. I think that was just clarification on the trucker that they were asking for. Wiley Coyote.

[C]

There he is.

[B]

There it is. Sean Mezco Sin Gusano. I'm gonna back my bro and go Tesla modern day cowboy.

[A]

Oh, wow. All right.

[C]

I know.

[A]

All right. Do you know what cone. And of course it's either he's saying with or no, but Gusano Gusano. G U S A N O Gusano Cone Gusano or scene Gusano or single Sano Gusano.

[C]

Yeah, Magnet.

[A]

Do your job. Let's. Let's find out what that means.

[D]

Worm.

[B]

The worm and the tequila.

[D]

Oh.

[C]

So Gusano. So it's not actually a worm, it's a larva. And the larvae itself is a.

[A]

Too late.

[C]

We figured it out. Yeah. If you don't really do it in Mezcal anymore. It was more of a marketing gig for americanos. So they would put in a bottle kind of that and. But I am going to do in time, once our brand builds up more, we're actually going to do a traditional style and actually have the larva in there, have the worm in there one time kind of thing. It's kind of a cool old school thing, but I have Run across quite a few of them. When you're harvesting agave and you're crushing them or cutting them up for when you redo the cook, they. You'll see them in there. And you pull them out of the. Actually the agave plants and we quarter them.

[A]

How about a gummy worm?

[C]

We had plenty of gummy worms down there too. Not really now. In Oaxaca City, maybe, but not out of middle. You get whatever you want.

[A]

Just sweeten it up a little bit.

[C]

It's right colors, throw it right in the fermentation. It will change everything. You get a special bottle. That's a special batch.

[A]

You know I got a sweet tooth. I know. You know I have a sweet tooth because you used to sneak Oreos into my kit where my magazines should have been.

[C]

I thought it was honey bunnies.

[A]

Honey bunnies? Yeah, it's. Oh, no. The Oreos were snuck underneath my pillow. Yeah. Going to bed at night, finally, after a long day in combat, putting your head on a pillow to hear a crunch. Take your pillow up. There was a sleeve of Oreos from your teammates that are trying to get you fat because they know you're better than them.

[C]

Did you eat them?

[A]

Yeah, I ate them.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

That's why it's green breaking anymore.

[A]

It was on just fine. And I'll also let you know, this longer hair adds a little bit of girth to my head.

[B]

Sure it does.

[A]

I didn't start a show to be made fun of by my friends. I'll have you know, brought up the Oreos. You do it to yourself.

[C]

Didn't someone send us like a giant box of honey buns from the States? That's right. Yeah.

[A]

Sure enough. All right.

[C]

With the alcohol too.

[A]

All right, let's get into the questions that make me look better. I need it.

[B]

We have a nice laundry list of shout outs from the crew table. Are you ready for this?

[A]

Yes. Yep, there is, by the way. Crew table. Yes. I absolutely saw all your messages on Patreon and did not forget about you. So I love that you're here in the super chats.

[B]

Alrighty. Shout out to my beautiful and very pregnant wife, Devin. Double shout out. Because she has my name. Love that. Send my love. Shout out Tyler. Shout out to Brandon Darby, Michael Bisnett, Adam Oliver, and all the folks at Air Care.

[A]

Oh, wow.

[B]

Flight nurse Shay. Also my mom's name. Double shout out there. Crazy gauge Crew table. Shout out to all the paramedics. Shout out to the equal. Equal school, equal skill, equal risk, equal pay for every flight medic in the nation. My Hero. Brett Sims, Kaylin, Brian, Cassie. Love, y'. All.

[A]

Yeah, he was, he was bringing up, there's a, you know, a, like a pay disparity, you know, between medics and flight medics and various things. And he's of course, the first responder community. I've always thought medics, paramedics have been kind of been the red redheaded stepchildren of the first responder community. Like firefighters always get all the praise. Cops do a lot of good work and dirty work and everyone hates them just because one out of a hundred will write a speed and ticket every now and again. And I, and I get that, but why aren't paramedics in the medic industry put up on a pedestal? Because the only thing they do is just save lives. That's all they do. And I'm not the, I'm not trying to put down others to make them look better, but it's a little more tongue in cheek, you know?

[C]

I mean, yeah, yeah.

[A]

But you know, the firefighters are showing up to car crashes that aren't that because they have to, you know, they're not necessarily doing anything there. There's not a lot of fires outside of New York City that happen all the time. They have a fairly decent work schedule. It's, it's not a, it's not a bad job, don't get me wrong. On their bad days, hopefully they're prepared for it. You're really gonna want to see them, but man, paramedics, almost every time, if a paramedic is coming out to see you, especially a flight medic, something really bad has happened and they're going to have to do something amazing to make your life still be there or better. I just think they, they deserve more credit.

[D]

Well, I'm scared of flying and they haven't came and see me yet.

[A]

Well, you haven't been hurt. You haven't tripped over your beard yet.

[D]

So scared.

[A]

Yeah, give it a few months, you'll be tripping over that beard.

[B]

Alrighty. Gucci Parmesan. Brent, are those your legs or the chickens you wrote in here?

[A]

There it is. Don't you worry about my legs. These legs have deadlifted over 500 pounds and squatted over 500 pounds and you know it. Cuz I did that at your base in Afghanistan.

[C]

I, I didn't actually see you do it. It was on the board.

[A]

It was on the. Didn't get on the board because I didn't do it.

[C]

But I believe there was a certain individual on that board that was beating you.

[A]

Stop it.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Whole time no one beat me. That's the crazy part about it. And I almost. I almost broke my back because of a really bad joke. Go ahead.

[C]

It was. And that was so the commander at times, Zach put one of our. Our security guard guard guys on the

[A]

list of 1200 pound club was what it was.

[C]

Yeah, it was. He kept. He kept changing the numbers and kept putting the guy's name on there. And Brett was getting all upset because we had an Iraqi, our Afghanistan guard beating them. And actually it was Zach just changing the names the whole time. He's like, God dang it. So he was. Busted his ass just to get to beat this guy. And the whole time it didn't really exist.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, I know. I know it's gonna sound, you know, bad, but it's the truth. In 2011, according to the 1200 Pound Club, at one point I saw it. I saw all the Green Berets before me. Amazing men I'm sure of. And I said, when I show up there and I do this almost every base, I was like, I'm going to beat that. It'll take me a few months, but I'm just going to train just for this and beat that. And at one point in 2011, I was the strongest Green Beret in those three. Three events to ever come through that base. That's true. Is that not a true statement? I don't know why you're hesitating. That's because you're trying to make fun of me. That's a true statement.

[C]

I'm older now, so I don't remember that as much, but I'm sure it was. If you say it is Brett, I'm

[D]

gonna go with it.

[C]

Yes, I was.

[A]

Because, yes, I got number one on the board. And then someone wanted to make a joke on me, like you said. And there's. He was massive. He was a massive Afghan. Yeah, that wasn't like cut, but he was muscular, but just. Just full of steroids.

[C]

Yeah, that didn't work out. Yeah.

[A]

And what was his name?

[C]

Do you remember his name? I can't remember his name.

[A]

So it was like Mustafa. I don't think that's really bad. It's a really bad Afghan name right now, anyway. Muhammad. So his name's Ali Muhammad. Okay. And I just walk in one day after feeling pretty good about myself for. For winning the record. And there's ali Muhammad, like 10 pounds heavier than I was. And I'll, you know, in the. In the 1200 pound club, which I think I lifted like 1380, something like that total. It's bench press, squat, and deadlift.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I was like, you got to be kidding me. Not only am I losing, but there's an afghan on top of the list. And I just stopped lifting really heavy because I just wanted to do that. And I wanted to get back to normal life and work out on. On. On other things. And so I went back to work and 10 pounds doesn't sound like much, but when you're maxing out like, it's. I. I didn't try it again for the two or three weeks.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And whatever it was, I was deadlifting or squatting. I thought I was gonna have a hernia or break my back. And then only to find out years later that I. I have a bad back now probably because of that. And it was a joke the whole time.

[C]

Do you remember Zach walking in on the one piece? He was completely naked almost. He's wearing that wrestling. Not even a one piece. It wasn't a singlette. It was the. What is it the comedian wears all the damn time? The yellow one, man. He wore that.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah. Walking in, we had a hoot for a. For a company commander.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

At the time.

[C]

Yeah. Yep.

[A]

All right. Anyway, that's. That's. That's my story. What else we got?

[B]

Alrighty. Oh, Sonny Marbury making me work for it. Gonna pull out my inner Drew. Sean.

[C]

Boso.

[A]

Do you believe that?

[D]

No.

[B]

He thinks he can beat you in arm wrestling.

[A]

Okay. Thank you anyways.

[B]

Sup, fam?

[D]

Weekly.

[B]

Check in, Brent, if you want some trucker stories. You should have asked when I was on. I used to own some semis back in the Dizzy.

[A]

Oh, did you? There you go.

[B]

Alrighty. Love that right wing nut, Sean. If you could only choose one 77 grain Mark 2 mod 1 or 75 grain Hornady SBR.

[C]

Probably Toba. That's probably one of my favorite Mezcals. That would be my. The one I would choose.

[A]

Go on. Where's the 18 bravo in you?

[C]

Oh, God, that's a long time ago, man. I've got so many guns now too, you know, I haven't shot, like in a year.

[A]

Sean says 75 grain hornad. Yes. For the SBR. And I think that's. I think that's a good one. But you can't. That's.

[D]

It's.

[A]

We're in a win win situation there. But Hornady always makes good.

[D]

I'm.

[A]

I like Hornady.

[D]

Lewis blew up a gun with a Hornady round. Lewis from.

[A]

Was it the bullet or was it the Gun. Do you know. Is there any way to know for sure?

[D]

They had to actually take the lot that they got from the ammo and send it back to Hornady. But it blew up a full auto in front of me. It was awesome.

[A]

But answer the question. Do you believe it was the bullet or the gun itself?

[D]

Bullet.

[A]

Okay. You know that. How do you know? You just started working on guns not too long ago. How can you be so sure?

[D]

Only 19 years ago.

[A]

So sorry.

[D]

One more year, I can retire just like you guys.

[A]

All right, what else we got?

[B]

Brayden, Medlin, Brent. Have you or have you ever or how many times did y' all put a patrol base in a swamp like we did at Fort Benning?

[A]

All right, next. And never outside of phase two or Sut, But I'll tell you a funny story about Sut. So, you know, as you're patrolling, you. You do this, you know, you're looking for a. That was a hand arm center for a long halt.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And if you're going to go long halt, like you're, you're going to basically put in essentially a patrol base, like a, A shorter version, but you're, you're going to strong point it here and you're going to get in the prone and it's going to be here a while. Yeah, we're walking through, like anywhere from chest to nipple, deep water and phase two, trying to get to where we're going. And everyone's looking around. And our. He was actually a really funny officer, obviously. And I'll prove it. Our, Our team leader looks at the. Looks at the instructor and he smirks and he does that. And the instructor goes. Instructor goes, you put him in a long haul right now. I'll give you a go for this, Pat. And he just smirked and he wanted to do it so bad. He's like, I couldn't do it to you guys, though. I could not do it to you guys. So. No, I've never even even entered. I'm sure you have a. I'd be interested to hear what you say about, about Ranger school.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But I never really. We got put in some bad places and even in. In Robin Sage, but nothing I would really consider a swamp, some swampy, like stuff, but I wouldn't consider this.

[C]

Yeah, I can't remember that. I mean, Ranger school, obviously, Florida phase, you're. You're putting.

[D]

We're.

[C]

We came off the, the Yellow river, you know, going in. And so once you come off the rafts, you know, Zodiacs, and you're infilling In. And of course, I always have the 60. The skinniest guy gets the goddamn 60. The backyard, you know, and we were. We're going in, and you're. You're a nasty. It's pretty much like, you know, baby diarrhea. Water, man. It's just that nasty water.

[A]

Yummy.

[C]

And I remember the ri. Going, because, Keen, where's your. Where's your 60? And it was down in the mud. And I pulled it up, showed it to him, and I just put it right back in. Because you're just so tired. Smoked.

[A]

I'm all out of motivation.

[C]

But we were doing patrol bases on the side of a mountain in mountain phase in ranger school, where you had to lock your legs around the goddamn tree so you wouldn't slide down the mountain. It's like, this is stupid. I'm not getting a firefighter right here.

[D]

All right.

[A]

That's a good question.

[C]

All right.

[B]

Holy fook. Correcting the record, Devin. Larry was in JTF2, Canada's version of Delta.

[A]

Holy fruit. Correction. No one has a version.

[B]

Knew that was coming. Knew that was coming. Crew table back in. Crew Table is a cooking show for first responders. We travel around the country, drop into places, say what's up, Cook a meal, and share their story.

[A]

I love.

[B]

Pretty cool. And they did a little shout out to Allegiance, Inc. Augusta and traditional Chuck.

[A]

Love that. Crew Table is a cooking show for first responders, travel around the country, drop into places, say what's up, Cook a meal, and share their story. That's awesome.

[C]

That is pretty cool.

[A]

That's awesome. I'll be. I'll be giving them a follow. Yeah, I love. I love the idea of that. Not a lot of original content, I feel like around here, I think. Be some interesting stuff on that one.

[B]

And why don't you.

[A]

Why don't you drop in here and cook us a meal? We'll share some stories.

[B]

That'd be so cool.

[A]

Get over here. Crew table.

[B]

Let's do it.

[C]

I've looked at bread and stove that hasn't been used, so it'll be like a first time you get up on there, actually cook something.

[A]

On that day, Xavier Lindoff, my old teammate, he came in and he cooked me a meal because he spent the night with me before his show, not you.

[C]

I got nothing. Now I will say I was planning to come stay with you in our original. That is correct.

[A]

Yeah, that's. That's why I said that. Give you a hard time about that based off the original plan.

[B]

All right, we got quadruple a I'm just going to call him that for, you know, sake of ease. Brent, would you ever interview an enemy you fought? Like a former Wagner group guy?

[A]

Yeah, I think that'd be super interesting. Like, I really. I really would. And to kind of dovetail on that. Me and Sean were talking earlier. I forget how the subject came up, but something about someone went to Vietnam. And I was like, you know, it's really interesting. And I. I like it when I hear that story, you know, to some degree of. Of old Vietnam vets going back to Vietnam. And I just think that's. That's interesting and be crazy. What's up?

[C]

So we were soldiers. They actually took the. The colonel girl.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I like raising my hand.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

We learned in kindergarten. I tell everybody, you got a question, raise your goddamn hand. You go to these group meetings, everybody wants to talk to each other. Now raise your goddamn hand. But they actually got the. The Vietnam. The Vietnamese commander at the time and the US Ended up being a retired general. Talked to each other and. And went through what they were thinking. That time of that whole. We were soldiers went down. Yeah. Westmoreland.

[D]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. And they actually had a conversation of what the Vietnam guys were thinking and so forth like that. So it was pretty interesting to see,

[A]

you know, which made me ask you, like, that's. You know, that that would be our equivalent of, like, going back to Afghanistan. I was like, I just. Yeah, maybe it's too soon. Maybe. But I don't feel like it's the same. Like, I have no desire to go back to Afghanistan. Afghanistan?

[C]

No. Iraq. No, no.

[A]

Or Iraq or Syria.

[C]

I've.

[A]

I've no desire to go back there, but I think it has to do with more of dirty Muslim countries.

[C]

Too soon?

[B]

Alrighty. Cruise table heard us, and he said, you let us know when and we'll be there. Just built a studio in Tennessee. Love to have you out. We'd have a patriotic fucking blast.

[A]

Okay. Is your studio anywhere near Nashville? Asking for a blonde friend behind a computer?

[C]

Not me.

[A]

I said behind the computer.

[B]

We'll be there in October.

[A]

[A]

I love. That's one of my favorite smells.

[C]

[A]

Yeah. I don't. I have no problem, you know, pushing your. Pushing your. Your mezcal. One second. All right, go ahead. Because you're not gonna let it go.

[C]

Sean Ryan gives pistols.

[A]

I go grab one. But as soon as I grab one, they take me off the air. Ask me how I know. Ask me how I know.

[B]

It's all right. I'm running the cameras real quick from

[A]

myself, but, yeah, because there's. I've never walked. I've never walked into, you know, a guy's, like, little personal bar where he's like, I just. This is just my one bourbon. I drink nothing else.

[C]

Yeah, every.

[A]

Everyone has a gin. They have a mezcal. They have a tequila. They have a bourbon, they have a whiskey. So I don't expect anyone to only drink my stuff. Well, that's not true. It'd be nice. But I also understand they're. They're. And they don't always have things there that's just for them. I don't. I don't drink a lot of other stuff, but I always have the other stuff. Not for me. It's for my friends that come over. Yeah, that's what it's for.

[D]

I don't have a bottle of Worship on there.

[A]

What's that?

[D]

I don't have a bottle at the house. I give everybody else. Yeah, there's.

[C]

Do you have an open one? Give an open one. Give them an open one.

[A]

Son of a gun. Come here. Come here, Magnet.

[C]

Free ones. I'll pass it over.

[D]

All right.

[A]

And now Magnet has one, too.

[C]

There you go. How long has been doing this? For a while. This is his first bottle.

[A]

I. I don't know. I'm actually. Magnet never asked for anything. The fact that he even said that. Yeah, you can't say no to back if he's gonna. If he's even gonna hint at it. All right, are we all caught up still, or is it back to story time?

[B]

We got a couple. We got a couple chats. All right, which movie would you rather star in? Team America? Tropic Thunder. Also still waiting on Magnus commercial from.

[A]

Okay, would you rather star in Team America or Tropic Thunder? I'll tell you, that's a tough one. Team America is just epic. But so was Tropic Thunder in a diff. In a different way. So do I have to be a puppet?

[C]

That's the question. Yeah, that's the one.

[A]

I don't like that.

[D]

I don't like.

[A]

I don't want to be a puppet, especially.

[C]

They're going to use those arms. You don't want to do that.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Do I have to go blackface? Like, which. Which one? In Tropic Thunder?

[C]

Yeah, I'm gonn character, I think. Tropic Thunder.

[A]

I'm going Tropic Thunder, though. I'd say that was the first time. That was when that movie came out. Tom Cruise was kind of. Kind of on the tail end of his weird times, you know, And I started kind of being a little bit of a Tom Cruise hater, rightfully so. He did some weird stuff.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And then when he played that character, I was like, ah, I can't hate that guy. That character is ridiculous.

[C]

I didn't even know who it was at first. You're trying to figure it out. Like, who is that? And I was like, yeah, like.

[A]

And that was the beginning. And he's. He's pulled the nose up ever since then.

[C]

If you ever hear him talk about that, he goes, he asked specifically for the directors. I want fat hands. And Drake goes, what? I want fat hands for this. And so they made, you know, the whole prosthetic for his fat Hands and then his forearm stuff because he specifically wanted fat hands for that guy. I. All right.

[A]

I don't know why, you know, but I love that.

[C]

Me and Tom, we talk all the time.

[A]

You and Mel, you and Tom hang out. You guys wait for his recording. I'll tell you how he knows.

[D]

We didn't see you in JT's movie.

[A]

No. Oh, no. I know. I bet you see me in his next one, though. But say, I mean, you've had. You've had Mel Gibson fix your shoulder before.

[C]

That's right.

[A]

Why wouldn't you be hanging out with Tom? That is a true story. Ish. You have to watch the recording to get that one.

[C]

Yep. See what happened there?

[A]

What else we got?

[B]

Alrighty. Last one. Right wing nut. Brent, you ever think anymore about doing a T1P brotherhood blade? Run for Patreon. Sean, did you get a knife? Everybody else gets a knife. Just saying.

[C]

I didn't even get a knife. I didn't even know people got knives. I got a bourbon. So many alcohol. I got. At my house. I got a lot.

[A]

Here's the problem. I just cleaned up back here because we've gotten. Things are a little bit of a mess behind the desk at times.

[C]

Look at all these knives.

[A]

No, those are not the knives. And let. Well, to you. Sean. Sean, you want one of those knives?

[C]

You picked that one. I'll.

[A]

I'll. I'd give you those knives.

[C]

I'd take the hatchet, but he's looking for. He's gonna give me his envelope opener over there.

[A]

No, I have so many knives. I have so many knives. No, I'm not gonna give you my. How about this?

[C]

See, I don't really.

[D]

I don't.

[A]

No.

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

I don't think it's the tiger stripe. Frcc. Oh.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

Frcc. And tier one knife.

[C]

That's a tiger stripe right there.

[A]

Yeah. Which. What does. What does besides Vietnam? More our history. What does tiger stripe remind you of? I haven't thought about this.

[D]

Right now.

[C]

06. 07. Iraq.

[A]

That's right. We're shorts.

[B]

Right now. We.

[A]

We painted our Humvees tiger stripe. Which was. Which was awesome to some degree. It works for you. Works against you. You kind of stand out as the special. Anytime you do something special, you're. You could be a target as the special ones, or if you're really aggressive, as the special ones. It says, hey, don't f. With these guys. They're. They'll stop, hop out and shoot you in the face.

[C]

And that's. And unfortunately, that's what we got. It was that because we only rolled in two vehicles and they're all tiger stripes.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And they say, stay away from the vehicles that are striped and the man with beards. And then that was the kind of thing you're like. So anytime you're looking to get a gunfight, they're like, there'd be no gunfight.

[A]

It works for you. Works, yes, absolutely.

[C]

There you go.

[A]

A little tip of the hat to. To that. To that rotation. All right. Is that. Oh, we got more.

[B]

Yeah, we got Gooch Parmesan back in Brent. Where. When are you gonna have this on? Andy just posted a photo with him podcast drops on Monday. Should be fire.

[A]

I'm really interested in that.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

I still talk to. To Matt sporadically. I'll talk to him about this. And yes, he's talked about coming on the show. He was kind of waiting for his book to drop so that way he can make his rounds. The podcast rounds and. And correlation with this book for. For sales. And I get that because poor Bis lost a lot of money on his first book. Seven million. Yeah. Off of some bad advice with a lawyer. To go back about the Brotherhood blades for Patreon. We're talking to them right now about that. So we. You should. If you join our Patreon, you will have an opportunity to get on that. That batch of essentially patreon only Tier 1 Brotherhood Blade knives that'll have the same inscription that we give our guests. And on top of that. Have you ever heard of ARES Watch Company? ARES Watch A R E S.

[C]

I'm

[A]

trying to get a hold of them for a. I love watches.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't buy a lot of watches, which is weird, but I look at a lot of watches and there are certain watches that are on my one day, hit it big list.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I reached out to them and I was like, you know what? I'd like to do a custom watch and see if. See if we could, you know, essentially sell that. I'd sell that at cost. For the. For the Patreon members. I have. I have a cool design. I have a cool idea. Join our Patreon. I'll let you guys know what we're doing with that.

[C]

By the way, I was looking for. I'm a big watch guy, too, and I was looking for a Submariner. Rolex. Submariner.

[A]

Oh, yeah, that's.

[C]

But not with the standard. Right. It would be with the fat leather.

[A]

You've always done this, by the way. You've always worn your watch like that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Why do you do that? You know why. It's a habit.

[C]

It's more of a habit, but I think it's for two reasons. For, for anything with the weapon, I can have a good quick look instead of turning my wrist this way. It's more difficult. Turn.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

I could do a quick turn and look at time.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And then for me it was, it was more slickness. I'd always find myself. The watch was turned around. It would get caught on something.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And so that way it left it more slick for me to roll through. And that's why I always wear it that way. Yeah.

[A]

That's funny. And you still want your. Still wear it that way. Yeah.

[C]

Habits, right? Yeah.

[A]

Yeah. Sorry I interrupted you because I saw the way your watch was. I was like, that's crazy. So watch it. Where's the watch like that?

[C]

To find a good Rolex Submariner, but put it on a leather band and a wide leather band, you know, man, I think that they look really cool, man, but you don't.

[A]

So he has a watch kind of like that. And the one thing, the one sticking point to some degree that we're at, he goes, because that's kind of what I wanted to do. So I'll go ahead and talk about. I want to do like a murdered out Submariner, you know, type look with, with our design etched in on the back piece. And then a small black face. Black. Black everything. Can you say blackface watch face? Should have said watch face with, with our tier one logo in gold. Smaller or bronze. We'll, we'll figure that out. But on an inlay on it. And he goes, but here's the thing. I don't do, I don't do metal bands, but I can do some high end, like black leather and some other things.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I'll probably end up doing the black leather and then I'll just get a metal band, you know, aftermarket to put on it that I want.

[C]

I don't know, man. That wide leather band, man, those things are cool. I know.

[A]

I knew you'd like a wide leather band. Yeah, but I like, I like bigger watches. Don't get me wrong, I've seen some big watches are just ridiculous. Ridiculous. Yeah, that you go over overboard with that. But I like a little, little bit of a bigger face.

[C]

I thought you'd be more like a pocket watch guy.

[A]

I do have, I have a pocket watch.

[C]

Everybody's got. I guarantee everybody's got a pocket watch.

[A]

Every gentleman should have a pocket watch and a monocle.

[D]

All right.

[A]

All right.

[B]

High six's mom. Hey, she said they filmed Tropic Thunder on Kauai, right? Pick aloha from Kauai.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

And we got quadruple A back in. Brent. Just gotta ask, is a four grip good to go? If you're using it as a hand

[A]

stop, no need for it. There's just no need for it. Use. Use your grip as a hand stop. I don't understand the hand stop thing, and I'm not giving you a hard time about it, but I haven't. I. I haven't had one, you know, ever since I. I was at the unit and when I didn't have it, it's not like I. It's not like I accidentally moved my hand, like, way far back or like it slipped on the rail system, you know, you don't. There are. There can be some arguments for it, but as a hand stop, I. I don't think that's. That would be the good argument for it. So. No.

[B]

Alrighty. Holy fook. Back in.

[A]

Brent's back.

[B]

So when are you going to propose to Devin? On a Thursday night, live at a practice.

[A]

Oh, holy fook. You don't have to read all the super chats, Devin. You don't have to read them all. I was afraid that was in my mind as I was saying that. I was like, someone's. Someone's gonna. Someone's gonna throw this back in my face.

[B]

There it is.

[A]

There it is.

[B]

Sunny Marbury. Sean, send me an address and I'll send you a knife. I'm embarrassed for you. Kidding. Guys, love y'. All. Also, Brent, did y' all leave the HVS in Iraq? I'm pretty sure I've seen some that were striped when I was there.

[A]

Yeah, we left them. We left them.

[C]

Yeah. I was up in Beijing. We left them.

[A]

Yeah. Had to.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And Dwazi. Sean, what was your nickname on the team?

[A]

Oh, that's a good question. I always forget sometimes to ask, guess what? Like, what their call signs or nickname was.

[C]

Well, our overall call sign was MAKO05. That was talking about yours. Yeah, I know, but mine was Surf Hog.

[B]

Surf Hog.

[C]

Surf Hog. Yep.

[A]

Yep. Surf Hog.

[C]

That's it.

[A]

Do you remember what mine was?

[C]

Oh, it was a big papa, but

[A]

it was not, so I. I. You don't have to worry. I've been honest about all my nicknames, and I would have had. Had if you'd asked me. I would have said I would have. I would have had two, especially on that rotation.

[C]

Well, you gave yourself Big Papa.

[A]

So, yeah, that one never took.

[C]

Yeah, that one. What was your God damn. What was your internal one? Man, I can't remember, Dude.

[A]

Shotgun was one of them. That's because we hit the ied, we started clearing. I did the. I didn't have my Eye pro, so I covered my. My face. And so I got the nickname Shotgun for a while.

[C]

That's right.

[A]

And of course, Princess.

[C]

Princess, too.

[A]

Yeah, was one.

[C]

That all comes back. You remember when we hit that compound, we all threw flashbangs. We, like, ran into all the flashbangs. You don't really remember that, do you?

[A]

Is there more than just the flashbangs?

[C]

No, it was just a flash of the main problem. We were going into the entranceway, right? And then only one guy was throwing a flashbang. But we guess everybody thought they were the one guy. So like five or six flashbangs.

[A]

That's real.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

We start all these stories. Do you remember the time. Do you remember the time we hit a target that was not. Yeah, they look like enemies and they saw us and they ran back in the building like they were enemies, but they. They ended up being someone different. Who were they, Sean? And how do we figure it out?

[C]

They were the Iraqi police. It wasn't. It wasn't us doing the hit. It was the 82nd and we're flying with them.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Three of us hopped on the bird, flying around with them, and they. I guess suspicious activity, whatever. They landed there. You remember the distance we had to run from the aircraft to get to the compound? They had bob wire and a guy. All the guys get wrapped up in the barbed wire. Like, Jesus, just go around. Someone's gotta lay on top of the bob wire so we can walk over you to get to the goddamn.

[A]

That was the beginning of. We should have known then that was. That was God trying to keep us out of that building.

[C]

And we went into the building and they started finding a bunch of plate carriers.

[A]

Oh, yeah, hold on. We're actually excited about that.

[C]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[A]

And we got weapons, there's AKs, there's

[C]

plate carriers, there's flex cup out front, everything.

[A]

There's police uniforms.

[C]

Police uniforms.

[A]

There's a lot of police uniforms.

[C]

And come back and apply apologizing. Sorry, sorry.

[A]

Hold on. Sean went and picked this guy up and then brushed him off after he's all dirty. Sorry about that.

[C]

Sorry about that, dude.

[D]

You're doing.

[C]

You're doing good work. Slap him in the ass,

[A]

America. Yeah, yeah, so, yeah, we did that. We accidentally hit a Iraqi police station once. But what are you gonna.

[B]

That'll happen.

[A]

That'll happen. That'll happen. We hit on a much better planned mission. And this is one of the crazy things, one of the craziest things I've ever done. I don't think I've ever talked about this on a. On a podcast. Is one of the craziest missions I've ever done. Wasn't in a tier one unit, there's no doubt. The craziest mission I ever did was in Iraq with. With 1:5.

[C]

With.

[A]

With our dive team. And we get a mission to go snatch and grab a battalion commander, an Afghan, an Iraqi army battalion commander who they knew was dirty, but guess where he was living on an Iraqi base. We landed the helicopters inside the base with. With no coordination.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

Because we couldn't. Because if we coordinated, you had to coordinate with him. He was the base commander. And we landed the. What?

[D]

What?

[C]

We were on the two CH47s. Two teams. Two team hit.

[A]

Yes, the 47s. Yep. And we ran through a whole Iraqi army base, thankfully unopposed, because we had to. We had to consider, hey, what are we going to do if they see armed men land in the middle of their base and start shooting at us? Which is a crazy thing to wrap your mind around. Are you going to return fire? You know, at what point do you return fire? What point do you protect yourself? Do you actually you kill them because they don't know any better?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Like, it was. It was a tough one.

[C]

It was a tough one going into it. And I think that's the time you threw the flashbang in a guy's chest. Is that. Not yet. Time?

[A]

No, that one. Okay.

[C]

Flashbangs. It bounced off his chest.

[A]

That one. Not.

[D]

Not that.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Not.

[A]

That was.

[D]

Not that one.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

But I did do an oopsie.

[C]

Well, he was coming out. You didn't realize that he's doing it.

[A]

No, that was a little bit different. No. Oh, I think Jason did that on. On. At the guard shack. At the guard shack. That did happen with Jason.

[C]

Yeah. Okay.

[A]

What I did was Chief said, hey, let's not stir up this hornet nest for the things we just said, like, do not shoot unless you absolutely have to, and wait to the. Wait to the very last second that you have to. You can absolutely defend yourself in case something. You know, to save your own life. Absolutely. But be a little bit judicious at sending rounds. So I hit the ground, I ran. My job was. Was to secure the guard Jack, which we knew reasonably. Like, they're. They're. You're the house wasn't too far from the guard check. They're armed, they're up. They're supposed to be pulling security.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

By the time I got the guard shack, the guard is sprinting to the guard shack. And when I look at the guard shack, it's well lit, door open, there's an AK inside. And to me, he's sprinting towards the ak. So I made a quick decision. I can wait for him to go get his AK and kill him, or I can send a warning shot and say, hey, like, this isn't a good idea. So I sent a few warning shots in front of him. And he did stop. And he did stop. Chief didn't like that decision making. I felt like that was solid at the time. Chief was not happy who shot. And when I explained, it's like, what don't you understand about not letting it fly, Brett?

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

That was a decision I made. May not have been the right one, but that's the one I made.

[C]

Did he say Brent or Princess?

[A]

Hey, but that's the same guy. But I'm afraid he said this to everyone, but ever, he was so good to me. Yeah, he's good. Scotty was so good to me. And every now and again, and he knew I. He knew I tried every now and again, he'd always be sitting there kind of stoked out we had the basement ops then.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, sitting there a little stoically sometimes, like, brent, come here. And I'd come over, he's like, come here. I'd lean in. He's like, you know you're my favorite, right? Yeah. Yeah, Chief, I know. You're my favorite. He would do that like once a week to me. And it would. I'm telling you, you have no idea how much that that motivated. He never really gave me kudos any other times. Every now and again, like, brent, come here.

[C]

Come on in here.

[A]

You know you're my favorite, right? That was awesome. Speaking of him, it's just the other mission set we did, which was one of my favorites of that rotation, we had the 1 60th, and we had a bunch of targets lined up, and there was a bunch of targets. And so basically an ODA would take from our company would, you know, take this target when they'd clear that target Next. ODA up. Next. ODA up. ODA up. And they were quick second driven or. Yeah, for the most part. And it was just. For a week, it was just, hey, hop on a helicopter, hit a target, come back.

[C]

Was that Lake Tartar One it was

[A]

part of like, it's part of the Lake Tartar mission set. Sure was. And I'll just never forget it. I'm sitting there on the bird. We're. We're hovering at about five feet, just getting ready on to. To take off. And he looks at me and he goes, hey, Brent. And I was like, yeah, Chief. He goes, you know they make movies about guys like us, right?

[C]

I remember that.

[A]

I was like, man, yeah, because you. I know that sounds like it's not like all about us, but what people don't realize is like when I look back and you and. And I say, yeah, yeah, we do. Or I may think that now that's not what we were thinking then. And that. Yeah, that Chief kind of had the. It was at the end of his career. So I think he was a little bit more of the nostalgic, this is my last ride type of mindset.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And for him to give that type of advice to a younger guy to be like, hey, take it in. Like you. You realize what you're doing is special, right?

[C]

Yeah, it was really cool. I remember that. Remember sitting on a tarmac. It was a daytime operation and we're sitting at tarmac for a while. I got a bunch of filters for. From it, actually. And we had. They were doing a bunch of high value targets are doing a meeting down in the desert. It's like four, 10, three or four tents. And we were on standby to go hit those tents in the middle of the day kind of piece and had drone feedage on there kind of waiting for all the targets, the HVTs coming in. And man, it was awesome because we launched and we were in flight, man. We're like, man, 100ft off the ground, man. We were just smoking across the desert in the middle of the day and we were getting feedback like, hey, no, there's now 20 guys in the target. It was. Kept changing and as we're going, we're talking to each other and say, hey guys, change your plans. We got 20 guys on the ground. We got three tents. You know, first helicopter hit the first two tents and coming in and we hit those tents, man. Just flew right in the middle of the day, man. Just spooked the hell out of them. Scared and just rolled right in. All those guys and those pants, man,

[A]

I absolutely remember that one.

[C]

And then we had a. I think they didn't bring. It wasn't. It was a drone still flying over because they weren't going to fly the AC130 in the middle of day, unless it was an emergency.

[D]

Right.

[C]

And then he spotted a vehicle rolling off. And then we flew the helicopter and stopped it. And that vehicle had a bunch of ammo and weapons hidden in all of the 55 gallon tanks. Hitting on that whole thing, dude, it was just like, it was a cool, just like right over the horizon mission. Changing constantly before we hit it.

[A]

You know that those, those were, they were, it's so weird to say they were good times because it's war, you know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And not, not everyone came home. Everyone on our team came home.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But it was, it was just, it was crazy good times. That same trip. I sometimes refer to this as the greatest mission we never went on, which is. And you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. We had this high value target. He was, he was moving around a lot and we were kind of tracking him through the day and, and we were about to get a green light to go and this nasty weather storm was coming, was coming in, which is pretty rare. And so at when we got the green light, but he hadn't stayed, but this is the longest he had stayed there for a little bit. So we were like, all right, let's, let's go hit him now. And you went out and talked to the, to the, to the, to the pilots, you and Scotty did. And they ended up saying they're like, all right, here's the deal. If we leave now, we can get you in, but I'm telling you, we can't promise we can get you out is what they told us. Do you remember what I'm talking about right now?

[C]

I think I do remember that.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And so I thought I, I wasn't, I, I knew what that opportunity was like. Let's go.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Let's go, let's look, we can figure something out.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And I thought you would go and I thought Scotty would give us some, some pushback to it. And, and Scott, and Scotty goes, if you can get us in, we'll get back. Yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll take a car off target and we'll just drive back. And I was like, hell yeah, we'll figure it out. That's, that's some Green Beret right there. You put us in. If he can't get us out, we'll steal a car and just drive back to face with, with her, you know, with, with the target or. Unless he's dead without the target in his own car.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And by the time we went back to confirm, he had just went on the move again, and we're like, dag Nabbit. That was good. That was gonna be cool because everyone was okay with it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Which was a little bit. A little bit of a surprise to me.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

Because you were from Sanford. Are you the one that was hot wiring the cars?

[A]

Yes, actually. Yes, absolutely. All right, how we at for super chats?

[B]

Got a few more. All right, we got Brayden Medlin back in. It says Suan. I don't know if that's supposed to be Suan or Sean. Who's more motivating, Goggins or Ronnie Coleman?

[C]

Not Goggins.

[B]

Ronnie it is Ronnie.

[A]

It is lightweight. Everybody wants to be. It wants about to be a bodybuilder. No one has no heavy weights. And that's about how he sounds, too.

[B]

Nice.

[C]

Nice.

[B]

Dwazi said, do you have any odd animal stories on target?

[C]

Like, Mr. Goat put me on target, though. That would be on target. That's Mr. Goat. We end up being a female goat. We call him Mr. Goat.

[A]

And we're like, well, we've already. We've already called him Mr. Goat. So his name is Mr. Goat. And our medic's like, he doesn't know his name. Like, you can change his name. Like. Nope, it's Mr. Goat. We really dug our heels in for no reason on that one.

[C]

We did kept it. The dog stayed outside, but the goat was in the house.

[D]

He treated the goat better than he did.

[A]

Mr. Goat pooped.

[C]

But it was easy to clean up goat poop.

[A]

It's easy to clean up goat poop. I have. I have a almost edible story. I think I've told this. It was during the lake Tartar hits. It's my turn. So my senior echo, we were taking turns during these missions. For the most part. He would go in. In the building and assault. One mission. And then I would be outside with Chief, you know, sitting up, and then we switched. He'd take the radio, be next to Chief, and I could go hit targets. It was my turn to be outside the target with Chief. And I have that satcom backpack on. And we're sending up reports of what's going on. And I. I get tired of being in kit with a SATCOM backpack. It's heavy. So I go to a knee, and I have this, like, the little. We have a little water bottle kind of pocket on. On the sides of backpacks. Well, that's where I would put my hand mic is. Is on there. Well, I think my elbow or something knocked it off. And I heard something hit the ground or just something slightly. A sound behind me.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I look to the right, look behind me, and then what I see is what I believe is a black snake. I don't know why a black snake run across the back of my legs. And I'm like, that. That did not happen. And so I'm looking to where the snake is going. So I quickly look left, and of course it whips the. The corded hand mic across my legs again. And I go, oh, no, it's running across my legs again, this black snake in Afghanistan. And I jump up and give what I assume to be a very manly scream. And as I jump up, I can feel the weight of the hand mic kind of bouncing up and down. And I grab him like it was this stupid hand mic. And chief looks over me like, he goes, brent, what is your problem? And I didn't have the heart to tell him I thought the hand mic was a snake running across my legs twice. And I just said. Said nothing. He's like, you tell me nothing. You just screamed. I was added to scream because. And he basically, like, he just shook his head like, I don't have time. I don't know what this is, but I don't have time for it. So, yeah, that's my animal story. Yeah, a snake. I got to a battle with a snake that was never there. So, yeah, that. That happened once.

[B]

That'll happen.

[A]

That'll happen.

[B]

Bryce out of the moon wants to know, do lifeguards qualify as first responders?

[A]

Yes, by definition. I don't know if you'd give it, like, by common usage, but by definition, yes. This is gonna upset some people. I don't believe nurses are first responders. I know they get lumped in, but who brings the patient to you? The first responder does or the patient brings himself. And if they do, they're not in such a dire, you know, scenario that don't get wrong. They. They might. The difference in that scenario as well is this. You're an air conditioned environment. You have all your resources. You have a ton of staff behind you. You have a ton of equipment you can do. There's so much you can do when you're the fir. When you're a true first responder, you're out there, you have to figure out what's wrong. You have to figure out what's wrong, and then with the least amount of equipment, try to fix it so you can get them back to a hospital. So by that definition, I give a lifeguard a first responder because you're the one who has to show up. You're the first one on scene and you have to figure that out with the least amount of resources at the time.

[D]

So perfect. I was a lifeguard.

[A]

You were a lifeguard?

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Who. Who are you saving? Those little arms. You can't. There's no way. You do not. This isn't. This isn't a hit. But you don't have swimmers. Build.

[D]

I was definitely a swimmer.

[A]

Just because you're able to swim, you're. You're saying you're telling me you were a swimmer?

[B]

Alrighty. Brandon Bailey said took pics at the John Wayne Museum here in Texas. Got pics of his uniform from Sands of Iwo Jima and the Green Berets. I'll send them over to y'.

[D]

All.

[A]

Heck, yeah. Sean, do you remember the first time you watched John Wayne and the Green Berets?

[C]

I do not remember that. Not at all.

[A]

Okay. Do you know that you've watched it?

[C]

I. I have.

[A]

Okay. Thank you, Magnet. Do you know that you've watched John Wayne, the Green Berets?

[D]

I know I didn't.

[A]

You know that you haven't. All right. You are not invited Back to the studio until you've done it.

[D]

I have a sweet painting in my garage.

[A]

Yes, you do. Yes, you do.

[C]

Doesn't quite count though, but.

[A]

Doesn't count. Yeah.

[B]

All right.

[D]

To be able to come back.

[A]

So although I've seen it since then, I never saw it before the Q course. During the Q course, I was an 18 echo, as you know. And we have this thing called Max Gain. And in Max Gain, you have to do an airborne jump into Oklahoma with all your radio equipment and you have to send shots back Fort Bragg. It's a major. It's a, it's a go, no gale. Yeah, go, no go. Test for echoes. You lose guys on it. No, it's. It's a stressor. We were supposed to jump in, but weather was an issue, so they bust us in.

[C]

Same same thing. Same thing.

[A]

It wasn't like a think. It wasn't like a Bluebird bus. It was like a charter bus. Right. And so we show up in the morning, they're like, hey, did anyone bring a movie? No one didn't bring a movie. Like, I didn't know. No one said there were TVs on the buses. And like, no, they're like, don't worry, we brought a movie for you. And they throw in a VHS tape of John Wayne the Green Berets. That's about a 20 hour bus ride from Fort Bragg to Bragg, Oklahoma. And guess what we watched all 20 hours? John Way of the Green Brace. About 10 times. About 10 times.

[C]

I have the stand, I have the. His full length cardboard cut out of the Green Berets. You know, the stand up ones.

[A]

Where'd you get that from?

[C]

I actually walked into someone's office and it was a major. And he had that looked at him. I go, are you a Green Beret? And he goes, no. I go, then why do you have that? And so two days later, he gave it to me.

[B]

Yoink.

[A]

Oh. We could just sit here and talk forever about random stories, but obviously we did not break the mold when it comes to not being quiet about our, our combat dive accomplishments. I'm a proud diver. Yeah, every. Everyone should be.

[C]

Oh yeah. Yeah.

[A]

That complete the school.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I get back from dive school. Don't get me wrong, I was going to sew on my, my dive bubble. I had all intentions of sewing on my dive bubble. I go into chief's office when I get back to let him know, hey, I made it. I'll be coming to your. I'll be coming to your team. I'm a dive guy. Now just like you special, the guy with special Forces Rangers combat dive, like that's, you know, I wanted to be like him, you know. And so I'm on my way. I have my long tab and now I have my dive bubble. I'm getting there. And I show up to his office. Hey, Chief, I just want to let you know I'm, I'm back. And he goes, ah, Brent, heard you made it. Congratulations. And I was like, thanks, Chief. He was like. So I go to turn around, just, just stop and say hi. He goes, brent, come back here for a second. And he goes, why don't you go ahead and get the front lady rest for me. Just start knocking some out. Now Chief is no one smoked me in sf, I don't think, you know, ever to some degree you get in trouble for sure, but you don't, you don't get a lot of smoking.

[C]

So.

[A]

Not for that. And so I give him this half grin like, are you serious? But I didn't say that. And he looked very serious. So I get like in the. Slowly getting it out. Like he's gonna tell me get back up.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And now he just lets me start knocking him out. And I'm knocking him out.

[C]

I know why.

[A]

10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, shaky 70 arms about to go out on me. 80. And he finally goes, get on your feet. And I get on my feet. He goes, where's your dive bubble?

[C]

Exactly.

[A]

Where's your bubble? I said, well, I, I haven't, haven't got it sewn on yet. He goes, are you not proud of it? I said, no, Chief, I'm definitely proud on it. He goes, how about this? How about you leave right now and go to the sew shop and get that signed and get that sewed up right now? Because if I see you again, I'll put you right back in the front and leave me front leaning rest. And I left his office and went right to the sunny shop and got it sewed on.

[C]

So when I was at the, I was at the Pentagon in 90, 98, I was working for the chairman of Joint Chief staff was, was General Shelton at the time. So young E6 Sean running around full tabbed out and bubble running around the Pentagon, not a good thing. They don't know. They don't, they don't know what to do with me. You know, it was funny because I was working actually with the jsoc, working with their operations center there at the Pentagon. Well, the new bubble hadn't come out yet. They were still using the old bubble until they switched over to combat diver badge. And what I had done was around. So I pulled off the. The cross arrows and a dagger, and I put it behind the old bubble kind of thing, and I put it on my uniform.

[A]

Around it.

[C]

Yeah, I forgot it was on there. And so I'm at the Pentagon. I'm at the Pentagon in my uniform, and I get stopped by this 06. And he goes. He goes, Staff Sergeant, I go, what's going on, sir? And he's like, is that the new bubble? And I was like, look down. I realized they go, that's the new bubble, sir. He goes, man, it looks good.

[B]

That's.

[C]

It looks good. They roger that and moved out real quick.

[A]

I'll tell you a. I cannot remember the department, but they gave me. Police department gave me their coin. It was their kind of their rescue dive special operations team. And it looks just like I said, it's here in Florida. It looks just like our dive bubble, but instead of sharks on the side, it's alligators. And it looks really cool. And I was like, yeah, yeah, I like that. I like what you did there. Yeah, I like what she did there. Yeah. All right, where. Where are we?

[B]

We are with Papa Penguin. And he said, getting chased by a black snake while walking is better than getting bit by a brown snake in a porter shitter.

[A]

That is correct.

[D]

That is.

[A]

Yes, sir.

[B]

That'll be a fact. Sunny Marbury. I had to ask for clarification. I'm going to tell you what he said, and then I'm going to tell you what he meant.

[D]

All right?

[B]

He said, okay, I'll ask Brent. You were you chiefs. Fave you her guy. What he meant was Brent was his chief's favorite person and teammate. So who's Brent's favorite patreon member or YouTube sub? Remember, we're all listening right now and watching.

[A]

I'm gonna do what I'm afraid chief was doing to me, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna tell each and every one of you separately. You're my favorite. I feel like maybe he told Jason that he was his favorite at some

[C]

point around I was a team, so he ain't gonna tell me that. Me and Scotty got into it a few times over there, man.

[A]

Yeah, it was always. It was always tough to hear dad and other dad arguing, which is crazy. You guys, you did your best to keep it away from us, and you'd go into your room and his room to argue it out, but then you'd yell at each other so loud that we all Knew what was going on, you might as well just done it the opposite. But I appreciate the attempt. We appreciate the attempt, but you guys always worked it out. And I never felt like. I mean, yeah, sometimes you argue things out like men, but I never felt like anything was ever, like, held on to after that, like, you guys left the room and like. All right, that.

[D]

That's.

[A]

That is what it is.

[C]

Trying your bourbon now, man. I wonder. But I also look back and go, man, I feel sorry for Chief for dealing with fucking Young me. Yeah. Because that was. That said, man, we went in there, said, we're gonna. We're gonna go, go, go, you know? You know, we're gonna. Obviously, you know, risk assessment of bullshit, but we're gonna go, go, go, man. And that was kind of the whole thing and that. And Chief was a little longer in the tooth. I don't think he was up to. Go, go, go. Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Back half of that. He said, also, magnet, how long is the beard? Lots of chrome.

[A]

Lots of chrome. How long is your beard, magnet? Do you know?

[D]

Long is it?

[A]

Yeah. You ever put a measuring tape to it?

[D]

22 inches last time I measured.

[A]

When's the last time you measured, Jimmy?

[D]

Measured it on the. On the podcast.

[B]

Oh, that's right. We brought that out last time. Not last time, but one of the most recent.

[A]

Okay. All right. Well, there you go.

[B]

Alrighty. Right wing nut back in. Son arrested a dude for crimes against nature goats. My son asked him, how can you do that? The guy said, easy. Put their back legs down in these rubber boots and walk him towards the water.

[A]

Crafts against nature.

[C]

You know that recently, you know, they just got cutting away goats and pigs out of goat lab on stuff.

[A]

Who.

[C]

I finally. I guess I got approved to pull

[A]

it all out into the open.

[C]

No, that they can't no longer use it anymore for the program.

[B]

I'm.

[A]

I hate to hear that. The life tissue program, dude.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Was a phenomenal, massive benefit. A massive.

[C]

So if people don't really know, in 18 Delta program, they used a lot of. And usually the goats or the pigs were in some kind of bad way as it was. And so they would, you know, cause these internal injuries or external injuries, shots or whatever. And then. Yeah.

[A]

So didn't feel it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So what we would do a lot of times, too, is when we're doing a CQB or hitting the house to hit the house, going in, rolling in, and they do a quick pause. They would bring in a goat with the injuries, and that's a teammate down. So now they go, okay, back on. So you go back clearing the house, doing stuff. Now you have a teammate down, so you got to actually work on the teammate, get ready for medevac and all. That kind of piece is very realistic. It's probably as realistic as you can get without actually, you know, doing the real thing.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And it's phenomenal training for the medics and everybody around you to stop the bleeding and everything going. And we. Once you. You take that away, it's unfortunate, because it really is needed for our community. Absolute certain things.

[A]

First time you work with live tissue should not be your teammate. Yeah, it should not. All right, in this segment of the show, Sean, I'm going to pull out some memorabilia, if you will, and you tell me if it reminds you of a story.

[C]

All right?

[D]

All right.

[B]

Do I just sing jeopardy music while you do this?

[C]

I guess so. He just. He didn't really. Here we go. We got a sword. I can tell you what this is. This was during the time Iraq 0607. That was when the whole Captain Morgan thing was going on with, you know, Stan, like, in a Captain Morgan spice rum thing. And we got this on a target. I can't remember what the objective was named, but we pulled it off the target. And I remember getting pictures with Sid and you doing the whole pirate thing on the objective.

[A]

Yes.

[C]

Sword.

[A]

That is correct.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

When I found that, I went to the rooftop with it because. Because there was a competition with Captain Morgan that was like, show me your pose or whatever.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And you could win free Captain Morgan or money or whatever. And so when I. When I obtained.

[D]

When that.

[A]

When that sword was gifted to me on target by the enemy, I went up to the rooftop to take a picture with it. I was gonna do the Captain Morgan pose on the rooftop, and I was gonna submit it. And I did, by the way. I didn't win. But when I called Sid to come up to take a picture of me, I said, come on up here. I need your help, as you know what that call sounds like. So I'm on the rooftop, and as soon as he opens the door, I come running at him with the sword. The same thing I just did to you. And Sid goes, damn it, Britt. Why would you do that? Shot you. I said, see? That day you wouldn't shoot me. That's where that came from. It's funny that Sid is a part of the first story. I think you know this story.

[D]

Oh.

[C]

Oh, look at that thing. That's impressive. You got that back.

[A]

Do you. Do you know the Story of this. Of this item.

[C]

I do know roughly the story of it. That is the crit that is Saddam Hussein's. One of Saddam's palaces.

[A]

Correct.

[C]

And it was Sergeant Major B. Carl B. Caught you guys. He put out information, and we walked in and goes, whatever you do, do not take anything from the palace.

[A]

That's what he said.

[C]

That's what he said.

[A]

This is my first night with the team, by the way. My first night.

[C]

And I believe Sid probably coerced you into going, let's go get some things.

[A]

All right. So we were all. Each team had a separate large room in the palace that the team was on cots living in. I couldn't sleep because I still had jet lag. And I saw Sid or a shadowy figure get up and walk out. And I was like, well, maybe this guy can't sleep either. So I. So I followed him out, and then I saw him starting to steal something. And I said, well, I want to steal something too. Not just anything. Yeah, it's when I say steal something, and you know exactly what I mean. I don't want to commit a war crime for that. There's, like, gold bullions. That's probably over the line, but you don't want something so. So insignificant that it's not. It's not worth your time or effort to get it home. You're trying to find this perfect middle ground where it's not so important that you'd get in trouble if you're caught, but important enough to you to. To care that you took it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So anyway, we found some of those, and I saw Sid pick it up and start to walk out with it. As I was falling, I was like. I was like a son of a gun. I was like. And so I went. I was like, I want one. He's like, dang it, Brent. He goes, all right, you get one.

[C]

And so.

[A]

And I was like, where are we gonna put it? He goes, well, so we're go outside. He's like, we're gonna put it in the trucks, and we'll put it in my truck. And I know where to stash it. Well, when we get back to base, we'll be good. I said, okay. And as soon as we walk outside the. The mansion, Saddam's mansion, for whatever reason, Carl Baker is walking in at, like, 2 or 3 in the morning, and it looks at us. And when he looks at us and he goes, what are you two doing? What did I tell you? And I can't remember exactly what Sid says, but you know how Sid Kind of like, oh, yeah, he's pretty. He's pretty fast with his mouth. He's good at de escalating things. And he said something that kind of made him chuckle a little bit. And he was like, all right. No one else saw, like, nope, it's just us. He's like, put in the trucks and don't tell anyone. So literally, you know, 20 years later, there we go.

[C]

Put it on the desk. On the Internet, Chad is killing his whole name.

[D]

What's.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

What's Chat doing?

[B]

Chad's killing me. As soon as you put that on the desk, I get from Quade. That's the FIFA World Cup. That's a hookah. Somebody goes, no, that's an actual chess piece.

[A]

All right, if. If you must know what it is, this is kind of what makes it cool. So it's. It was these matte. These. So when you walked into these massive double doors to the mansion, it had two staircases that. That went up to a landing like this. These were. What are they called? The banister is the bent. There's the handrail.

[C]

Yeah, that's above it.

[A]

But those. The supporting rails, I think they're called. Not banister balusters or something like that. That's. That's what held the handrail in the stairs. So there was like, you know, 20 of these to the right, 20 of them to the left. So it was part of the stairs.

[C]

Do you remember getting the tiles off the top of the mosque?

[A]

I didn't. I wasn't a part of. I remember the. You guys getting them, but I didn't get a piece of that.

[C]

Yeah, we got. I still got my house. We climbed up and got.

[A]

Remember exactly what you're talking about.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

What now?

[B]

The last one, T Bone goes. Sounds like an Oprah show. You get a gold thing and you

[A]

get a gold thing a little bit. So I got one more crawl story and. And it has to do with you. This is. This is actually one of my. One of my. I don't know why it's a. I want to say favorite story, but anyway, you're getting ready to take over the company sergeant major spot, and we're at the mortar range at Camp Blanding, you being essentially the highest ranking person on the range because you're. You're in this weird.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Sergeant. Company sergeant Major. Not quite yet. The company sergeant major. You're going to be. You're acting like it, like, to some degree, but you're not officially the company sergeant major yet. And you bust out the ball cap and so, hey, when the senior guy busts out the ball cap, it's ball cap time. And so I always have my Florida gator hat somewhere close to me. And I. And I put my Florida gator hat on, and we're working and maybe 30 minutes goes by and Carl comes up and goes, brent, can I have a. Probably called me Sergeant Tucker because he can be a little more. Especially since I'm in trouble. Sergeant Tucker, I'm gonna need a word with you. And so he goes. And he pulls me off the line, and then he goes and grabs you and goes, hey, Sean, I think you should probably be a part of this. Do you know why he went and pulled you?

[C]

Now back up a little bit.

[A]

Okay. All right.

[C]

Wasn't quite like that. But your general, it was. I was sitting down talking with Carl, and you were walking by, and Carl looks at me and looks at you with the hap gone. And he goes. And I go, I got it. He goes, no, no, no, let me. Let me handle this. And that's when he called you over to come over, have a conversation with you with a cap on.

[A]

Okay? And I knew I was in trouble a little bit because when I got over to you two, you no longer have a baseball hat on. And I feel a little bamboozled. And I'm like. And you were, at the time, you were standing behind him just a little bit. And he goes. He goes. He's like, Sergeant Tucker or Brent, maybe called me Brent because I'm lower enlisting. Come whatever he wants, lower than them. And he goes, why is it always you? It's always you. Like, I don't see anyone else here with a baseball hat on. And I kind of look around him, I look at you and I'm. And you. You do this. Sorry, Brett, you didn't say that. That was the face he gave me. It was the face he gave me like, ah, sorry, Brent. I know I had one on.

[C]

Try to say.

[A]

And so. And he continues to belittle me, and he's like, if. If. If there's someone on this range with a baseball hat on, it's going to be you. If there's someone with slightly too long sideburns, it's going to be you. If someone doesn't have their pants, blouse where they're supposed to, it's probably. Why is it always you, Brent? And then I decided to make a bold maneuver at this. At this point, and I said. I said, sergeant Major, can. Can I just. Can I just talk to you man to man for a second? I Said something like that. Can I just kind of level with you for a second? I said something like that. And he goes, no, you can talk to me like a sergeant major, because that's what I said. And I'm like, all right, well, I'm gonna send it anyway. Do you remember this whole conversation? And I go, here's my problem, sergeant Major. I can take off this baseball hat right now and put on a patrol cap by the I. When we go to lunch, I can go trim up my sideburns and I'll be in regulations. I can tie my pants. I can be in. In the right uniform in a matter of minutes. But Rick over there, he's fat, and he's been fat. And you won't pull him back here and tell him that he's fat, but you'll pull one of your studs back here and say you have a baseball hat on. I said, so, sergeant major, that. That doesn't seem fair. And it worked. He immediately. And I thought he was either gonna blow a fuse or I was gonna hit him with enough logic that he felt bad and he immediately backtracked. He's like, all right, all right, you're right, Brandon. It takes a lot of paperwork. And I'm working on Rick, and we're gonna get in, we're gonna fix this. And I was like, oh, thank. That was a bold maneuver. Thank God it worked.

[C]

The exact wording was, I can fix myself immediately. You can't fix that immediately. I remember that in my head. I go, it's 15 guy bad guy right there.

[A]

Oh, man, this. I haven't thought of some of these stories in so long.

[C]

My favorite thing with Carl, and it didn't go over well with Carl at all. I thought it was really funny when we were doing the final meeting and a changeover, right?

[D]

As a.

[C]

Hey, now say, you know, Sean's taking over, so our major Carl's gonna go

[A]

to this and Blanding trading up to go to Afghanistan.

[C]

Yeah, okay.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

And the supply guy comes on, he goes, hey, listen, right now, if you got anything you need dx, we can DX it now and you can replace with something new. So dx, if anybody know out there is if you have old equipment, you want to get rid of it to get DX and get out of there. And I said, thank God. I've been trying to get rid of Carl's mom for a while. And Carl did not like that. That at all.

[A]

I. I think I know the building you're talking about, cuz you mooned Me

[C]

during the meeting. You all came by in the vehicle. They're all mooning me.

[A]

Are those your men?

[C]

These my men, sir.

[B]

We were.

[A]

We were children in bed. Bodies. We were abs.

[C]

These.

[A]

This. Is this what. This is what America's sitting over to fight. Fight for, Fight for. They got their asses in the air in a moving truck, and the other one's talking about the other sergeant major's mom. This is America's best.

[C]

And you saw Stripes, right? I'm obviously get that from that. The guy's like, oh, hey, these guys coming down, of course they squared away. Are these my mandos? No, sir. Those are men over there.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I love stripes. I'm due. I'm. I'm due to watch Stripes again. I haven't seen it in so long. I bet it feels like the first time all over again.

[C]

I lived in Fort Knox when they were making in that.

[A]

And Fort Canox.

[C]

Fort Canucks when I was a little kid.

[A]

Oh, oh, when you were a kid, you remember them being filming?

[C]

It did it all.

[A]

Yeah, yeah, that did. Did Bill Murray fix your shoulder?

[C]

Of course he did. It was weird, though. I was like, seven.

[A]

Okay. All right. What else we got?

[B]

We got Holy folk. Back in question for Sean. What are the differences between tequila, Mezcal, and Baccanora? Which is the smoothest and gives you the easiest hangover?

[A]

Love that question.

[C]

Solid question. Mezcal, to me, would be the best. Bacchanora is just generally it's so to be called Mezcal has to be made in certain cities, certain states. Bacchanor is not made in those states, so it cannot be called a Mezcal. So generally falls in that piece where a tequila has to be made. Jalisco. And it's only to be called a tequila. They only need 51% agave. The rest can be sugars or agave vanillas, but Mezcal has to be 100 pure agave. How it cooks. So it really gives you the best and cleanest. And that's why I always look at Mezcal. It doesn't really give you a hangover as much. I mean, drink so much.

[A]

I'll tell you tomorrow.

[C]

But it's to me, Mezcal, and that's kind of the reason I went that way was try to find the cleanest, cleanest liquor for you. And that was Mezcal.

[A]

All right.

[C]

But I do like. I like a good bacchanal, though.

[B]

The video.

[D]

The video that I saw of you with the. The pound, Was it dirt or something like that where it was smoking.

[C]

Yeah. So we. We just don't cook after we cut up with the agave. We're cooking the agave, the tarps, and we add all the dirt on top. And so you cook it for us. We cook it for five days. Everybody's a little different. That's why you don't get as much of the smokiness. Some. Some mezcals can take, like, a burnt tire, which is terrible. Mezcal overcooked. There's no bueno. And that throws people off our mezcal,

[A]

which is Spanish for no good.

[C]

No good.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[C]

I'm tracking my Spanglish. Right.

[B]

Look at you, Paco.

[C]

Big pop in there.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

Princess is bad. Ask Brent, his pet name.

[A]

That's. That's a 50 and up. Super chat right there. I'm giving that one away. Oh, my gosh.

[B]

I actually don't know the context of this, but Sunny said fave. Younger guy. Sorry, Devin is spelled right. Yeah. D E, V, O, N is right. Not short. About the fave. Younger guy question.

[C]

Maybe.

[A]

Guy. That. That just. I don't like the way.

[C]

Yeah, I know.

[A]

I don't think it was directed to you. What's. I said. It's just. It just doesn't. It just doesn't.

[B]

That's why I said plead the fifth.

[A]

I was giving you guys an hour. I know, I know. Yeah, I'm gonna plead the fifth, too. Do on that. Just because it. I don't like the way it's. It's being packaged.

[B]

All right, Quade back in. Sean, is Mexican food better than the States or Mexico? And why is it the state?

[A]

Oh, that's a good question, actually. Well, so why is it better in the States? That out ended.

[B]

Yep. And why is it the States?

[A]

We just had. We just had Mexican food tonight is

[C]

what we have Tonight you had.

[A]

It's Tijuana. Of course. It's Mexican food.

[C]

Tasty. I mean, don't get me wrong there. We have a Tennessee in the States. More like a Tex Mex kind of style. A lot of our stuff, which is really good. Like, we like pizza, right? We take a pizza and we kind of make. Americanize it.

[A]

Yeah, we make it better.

[C]

When you're working the agave fields, it's literally. And I'll tell you in the morning, you have a tortilla. You have not. You have bean juice. Not bean. Bean juice. And then you have, like, crumpled Oaxaca cheese on there, right? And that's your breakfast. Like, you break it open like a pizza kind of thing. And eat that. And then for lunch, all they do is they fold it over. Like they trick you. They fold it over. Now it's like a quesadilla. Same. Same shit. You just folded it over kind of crap. And then in the evening, they cut it up. So now it's like a taco. I'm like, dude, it's the same thing. You're just folding it differently. Yeah.

[A]

Enjoy your 370 calories that day.

[C]

But that's in the fields when you go to Oaxaca City. Food's amazing. City. That's. All the foodies from Europe go to Oaxaca City.

[D]

All right.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You an empanada guy? Is that. Is that Mexican or is that more South American?

[C]

No, it's more South American. Yeah.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah. So. But. But the food has been. Food is. But I always bring extra food because I don't have enough.

[A]

Yeah, they're not serving American. No, they're not American size. No, you're not 120 anymore. Sean

[B]

D. Said, sing the Ballad of the Green Beret tonight.

[A]

Oh, boy. Not for $2. Oh, fighting soldiers from the sky.

[C]

He's.

[A]

I'm sorry. All right. That's what you get. That's $2 worth. That's $2 worth.

[C]

I never really understood the part about, these are men who jump and die. Like, I don't understand why we're jumping and dying.

[A]

Yeah, I didn't want to jump. Did their parachute not open?

[C]

That's what I was wearing the whole time. What's this they needed?

[A]

Did they not know they had a reserve?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Our whole objective is for those guys to die for those guys in their country.

[A]

Yeah, Absolutely.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Sunny back in my hair is 26 inches.

[D]

Magnet.

[B]

Gotta catch up, brother. Brent, how long is your hair? Sean, put him to shame with your luscious locks, but I'm absent.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Shots. And what's even crazier, your hair's pretty long and it's curly, so I'm sure, like. Yeah. When you're in the ocean, surf or whatever, when it straightens out, it's got to be halfway down your back.

[C]

I just got a hair. I got my dead ends cut off. Every, like, six months, I get my dead ends you don't know about, but

[A]

you and Devin could talk about hair in the garage.

[B]

It's not fair. You just got to mullet for the Fourth of July. So you're a little bit low on the lot.

[A]

Yeah, they can't really tell, but it's mullet is. I wanted to mullet for the Fourth of July. They didn't they, didn't. They didn't mullet me up completely. So it's kind of a sad story

[C]

who was, who was moaning, who did it.

[D]

Great clips.

[A]

Essentially whoever was open the day before fourth of July, that was as close as possible to Hollywood, Florida. That's who I went to.

[B]

Correct. Gman said, what was your guy's fastest five mile time for run?

[C]

Oh, I don't know man. That's a.

[A]

Although you had a runner's build because you've always been Langley and not very muscular or, or intimidating, generally speaking, you'd think that you'd be a runner, but you're not a runner. You're a pull upper without a doubt. But you've never, you've never, you've never claimed to be a runner.

[C]

Never. Yeah, I'm super fast. I think my fastest.

[A]

I'm saying like you can't run. Like you're not, you're not knocking down 11 minute 2 miles or anything.

[C]

No, my fast was like a 1053.

[A]

Was it really? I just said you're not knocking down 11.

[C]

No, actually back in the day.

[A]

Back in the day. Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[D]

All right.

[A]

My, my best five miles probably 33, 34 minutes and we had to run five miles a lot like an OTC. There was a, like a five mile itself test.

[C]

So but you, you were impressively for your size, you were a pretty good runner.

[A]

I was, I was a good runner for my size. Like when I did like triathlons, Teflons, I would, I would finish like middle of the field for the. As for the general field, but as over £200 in the Clydesdale division. I was, I was a good sell.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Division, yeah. So I could always maintain a 6, a 630 mile usually for, for a long time when I was at it.

[C]

I don't know, people are kind of you. The thing is people are like, well, you good at this one thing? Well the whole point is being good overall.

[A]

Right.

[C]

You know you got to be good at all these things. You can't be great at one one thing. It just ain't gonna work.

[A]

Exactly. I, and well it's you. So I, I have no idea. But something tells me when you was, when you ran that 1053 mile, I mean other things were, were taking a, a back seat to that. Like are you still doing 30 and 40 pull up? That's a, that's just my, you got to get pretty thin. You know I was always to run that.

[C]

I was always doing a. Just like my, my whole goal was to always do. Hey, 100 sit ups, 100 push ups, you know, in a two mile kind of thing. It's a standard goal, right?

[A]

That's right. It's a standard goal for when I

[C]

went down when I was at combat diver school going through. I was going so fast in my push ups, so my hands were leaving the ground when I came up. And the guy was like, you need to slow down so I can count your push ups better kind of thing. Just. You're flying that fast kind of through it, man. But yeah, even the pull ups that point. But it's. Yeah, I don't know. I guess just one of those days, you know? Hell, my. My damn cousin won the Boston Marathon. He ran for Ireland too, in the Olympics.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I don't remember exactly how this went, but it does remind me. The PT test at. dive school. I show up, like I said, 100 push ups on the sit ups. That's the standard. That's a standard.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I didn't always hit it, but I mean, that's. That's what you want, right? It may have been 97 at times, maybe 102. Like it was always in the 90s.

[C]

And he was counting too.

[A]

But I set up, and as soon as I started going, my left hand. I still remember being. My left hand was in an ant pile.

[C]

Oh, yeah, right.

[A]

And he either told me because he could see it. Yeah, he either told me, but I didn't. I didn't realize it until like 20, 30, 40 end. Like, because it takes him a little bit to disturb and then go up there and start biting me. I kind of tell him in the middle of it and he sees it and he's like. He either told me, just do 42 and get up. Or maybe he was like. Or maybe I only did. I think. I think to get a 372. I can't remember. I would have known at the time.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But that was. That was the only time I didn't get the 80s or the 90s. I did whatever the minimum was. It was either the minimum to pass or the minimum to get a 300. I don't remember which one it was.

[D]

Right.

[A]

But that. But I shortened it up and I got up. That guy's like, you're an idiot. You know, I'd have just. I'd have just retested you later. And I had ant bites all over my arm.

[B]

All right, Quade back in. Do you guys shower facing the shower head or away from it?

[A]

It's an odd question.

[C]

Well, I have a story of this one, actually.

[A]

I don't know why, but.

[D]

Okay.

[C]

Most guys, they. They face the wall, right? But if you ever remember Mark, the Mark Mark D. Always faced out. So if you're walking out, you had to go right in front of Mark. You're like, God damn, dude, can you just at least face the other way? Yeah, that was Mark. Always face the opposite way kind of piece.

[A]

And so most guys do group shower. You. You face the shower head.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Okay. For sure.

[D]

But.

[C]

But Mark would not. He would face the other way. Mark. Mark D. Mark. You're walking through kind of thing.

[A]

He's also the only guy I know in SF to get into a fight in the shower, so that doesn't.

[C]

That was Mark.

[A]

Oh, different Mark.

[C]

Different Mark.

[A]

Okay. Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, you said Mark D. D. Mark

[C]

D. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's different Mark. Okay. Mark and Neil got in a fight. Apparently. Apparently someone took their shower and wasn't happy with. Took me forever to get that hot water going.

[A]

Yeah. I'm not going to break that up. Two naked green brace. Want to fight.

[C]

Let him go.

[A]

Let him go. Oh, man. Okay. What is. What is it? Yeah, what are you laughing at? More chat?

[D]

No.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

No, just the answer.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

Because I think it's right.

[A]

You just.

[B]

Rotisserie chicken in little bit.

[A]

Yeah. Yeah.

[B]

Mr. David Hookstead is joining us, saying, Brent coming in late. What do you think of the Charlie Kirk conspiracy theories? Not sure why wine moms and yoga instructors with Internet access are now experts on C4 and ballistics.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[D]

Oh, I've been waiting for someone to bring up. I've been watching it.

[A]

If, if Sean wasn't here, we'd be doing a. A Charlie. A Charlie Kirk special. This is something I've. I've been waiting to be proven right on everything I said about the Charlie Kirk assassination. All these stupid theories of. Oh, the, the mic, you know, had an explosion in it. These guys who think that have never worked with explosions their whole life. There's no way you're getting enough of a charge in there to kill anyone from a lapel micro week. It's just impossible. Tyler Robinson, I don't know. The guy who admitted to it, the guy who left a note about it. The, the guy whose DNA is on the gun, the guy who jumped off of a roof and his DNA is on the roof. That's the guy who did it. Some things are just straightforward. And now that we have more video evidence of them, and now we have all sorts of video evidence of him in the stairs wrecking it before and then peg. All of a sudden, peg legging it all the way up the stairs. It's so cut and dry that it was Tyler Robinson, just like it's always been. And now that more evidence is coming out, it's only proving that it was Tyler Robinson. And Candace Owens, bless her heart. Which is the nicest way of saying what a bless her heart. Who's at a. Tyler Robinson wasn't even there. That's what my sources are saying. He absolutely was there. He left his DNA all over the place. And everyone else with these conspiracy theories, you can float them all day long, but when this, when this case is done, none of them are going to come back to the mic and go, my bad. I kind of lost my mind a little bit. None of them will do it. What do you got?

[D]

The round that they found on the other roof. What about that round? The two, two, three round the.

[A]

You. You can have. All right. What about rounds that. That's not crazy. Do you know, you should know this. You're an arms guy. How many guys have put the wrong round in their gun? How many guys have shot. Luckily, it wasn't the same around.

[D]

It was the same roof.

[A]

What's that?

[D]

It wasn't the same roof that he was on that they found the two, two, three round on.

[A]

There are snipers on roofs all the time. It doesn't matter. You need a lot more than that.

[D]

I get it.

[A]

Give me a gun, give me a person, give me video evidence of it. You got to give. And, and if it's on the other roof and it's on the other roof. Right, right.

[D]

It's on the roof from the same line as Charlie was on.

[A]

Is it on this? You don't. It's not on the same roof that Tyler was on?

[D]

No, it's on the one behind him.

[A]

Right. And here's the problem. There's no angle that, that, that says of where that bullet. Guess what angle that bullet came from on his entry. On his entry wound. Guess where that backtracks to Tyler. So it doesn't matter if you found a round somewhere else. Obviously it doesn't, it doesn't track. Of course they're doing their, their, their, their job.

[D]

Obviously they're getting paid for it, but.

[A]

Yeah, but that's an event place. And guess what? There's. There could easily be counter snipers from SWAT teams that were there earlier. That left. That left their 2, 2, 3 round up there.

[D]

That's what they were.

[A]

You could, you could go up to UCF right now. And I bet you could. You might be able to find a round up there. And I'll tell you, and I'll tell you, like, why would they just leave around there? They probably cleared their weapon. And when they cleared their weapon and ejected it and they couldn't find it or didn't care and didn't pick it up, it's like, we're on a roof. What does it matter like that? It's just. It's logical.

[C]

I mean, for. For him to. If you're gonna do that shot and do all this, then. Then let's not waste our time. Stand up and do. Do. If you're gonna try to say something, say it now. Hey, I killed him. You know, why are you going through all this, man? I mean, it's. He obviously, I. I believe he killed him. He's the guy that did it. But stop playing behind the damn attorneys right now. If you're so proud of what you did, just stand up and go, I killed him.

[A]

Yeah. Let me tell you why I did. If you believed in your cause so

[C]

much to kill them, stand up.

[A]

Well, now. Now it's time to follow through and actually send your message to where a lot of people are going to hear it.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So it's crazy, crazy, crazy.

[B]

All right, we got north, south, east, west. I feel like maybe there are some cities with. With live tissue training opportunities. Psy. Princess.

[A]

There's a lot of cities with some live tissue training opportunities.

[B]

And have you met him? P.S. my princess.

[A]

Oh, why have you met him? Why Prince Sean? Why'd you guys call me Princess?

[C]

I believe why we called you princess is that I think it started in

[A]

Miami, by the way, but I think it probably did.

[C]

I'm trying to remember why. It was just your. If everybody in the team had to get things done a certain way or wanted a certain thing to do it, it was Brent because he had to get somebody called your princess. You're like, oh, you just had to have your way. I believe it. I'm not even sure. And I know it's well earned. I know this. I'm just trying to remember what took

[A]

me too long to get ready when we're in Miami.

[C]

That's what it was.

[A]

You're like, come on, Princess.

[C]

That's what it was. It was always. We would pick up Brent heading my to Miami doing dive ops down there in training, and Brent would show up in UDT shorts and a Magnum PI Video. I got a picture that somewhere, mustache and wig on to go into Miami kind of thing.

[A]

I forgot about that.

[C]

Yeah, that's right. You're always. But even in overseas, I was like, God damn, Brent, let's go. We got a roll, man. What are you doing? Yeah, that's why.

[A]

Yeah, yeah. I might have always had more food than everyone else. A sleeping bag.

[C]

Other people didn't have the Terp carrying all your food.

[A]

I want to be hungry, Sean. I didn't want to be hungry. No nutrition, no mission. It's always been the motto. And then when I'm prepared, just because I use the Terp like a pack mule.

[C]

That's right.

[A]

Okay, now I'm the bad guy. He's not carrying anything. Why can't I use him to carry my lickies and chewies? I.

[C]

It was so funny. They had to change out and you go, hey, I need my stuff. And turf's, like, getting all his food. Like, what the hell is going on here, Brent? He's carrying all my. For me, so.

[A]

Oh, was. Oh, was it Rick that took me off the helicopter? Was it you that took me off the helicopter? I can't remember. Anyway, I don't remember. So you guys get the gist of the story. I got moved. I got moved from one helicopter for whatever reason to another helicopter. And I had given the Terp all of a lot of snacks and food. Well, was like, hey, Britt, you gotta go to the helicopter. I tapped the turp like, let's go, buddy. And he's like, no, he's staying. I just need you to go to helicopter. I'm like, oh. This has put a damper on my plans, on my whole strategy, because I know it was doing a valley clearing operation. I knew we were going to land at very different places. I didn't know the next time we were going to link up, so. So I was like. So I had to go to Turk. My stuff. It's like it was like 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 different things. I'm putting them in my pockets everywhere. I wasn't prepared for it. I was really counting on him.

[B]

The man gets snacky, I get snacky and hangry. All right. Right wing nut said. Thought maybe they smoked opium out of that thing. Sunny, y', all, that was me trying to fix the previous super chat. Okay, all right. Cleared that one up. TG para my wife quote. Is that the guy from sister's wife? That's a new one.

[C]

That's a new one.

[A]

Is that the guy?

[C]

That's a new one. That's a new one. Okay. Yeah.

[B]

Also suitable dozy back in. Hey, now it's 35 Mexican pesos. Or 2616 Iraqi dinars.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

Oh, that's. That's the conversion of $2. Okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

6. Is mom ready?

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

Okay, Devin, I'll bite. What is it? I know no one else will ask.

[A]

Oh, I was like, what is it? Oh, all right, all right. What is it, Devin?

[B]

Oh, I gotta tell the story.

[A]

Yeah, it's. You gave it to me.

[B]

So Brent has become officially.

[A]

They can't hear you.

[B]

Officially, he's become Squishy, which has now shortened to Squish or Skeesh, but ultimately Squishy, which most people hear us then, like. Do you know who you're talking to? Yes, I'm will aware. I know he's done some badass things. However, in this house, he is Squishy.

[A]

Yes, that is my. And it's. It's my nickname with her. You got. If you guys start calling me Squishy, I'm not. I'm not answering. I'm not answering. And now I know what I've done. I've started to fight it.

[D]

It.

[A]

Which means it's only gonna get worse.

[C]

It's gonna dig in deeper, man.

[D]

Now we gotta come up with a logo. I've worked because it's gonna be the new lion arm. Squishy.

[A]

I've worked my whole life to be Squishy. To end up as Squishy to some girl.

[D]

Actually, you paved the way. You get all this food. So you're like Squishy little guy.

[A]

Yeah, that is. Thank. Thank you, Six's mom. We're a family. Nothing's a secret.

[B]

Nothing's a secret that catches us up. And we are at 10:20.

[A]

Perfect. Great timing. We've done. Seems as if modern day cowboy for the win. You want me to play it for a big one? No, I don't ever want you to play it. I don't ever want you to have. Have access to all my Bluetooth speakers like you do. There's. There's not a Bluetooth speaker I own that magnet hasn't connected to at one point. And somehow his Bluetooth on his phone is stronger than mine.

[B]

I also feel like, as a backup in honor of Sean, we need to hear Tequila right after that.

[A]

Okay. All right, That'll. That'll be the end.

[B]

And some people have asked for an outro. Cheers. If you guys have another one, since we have all the mezcal in the world right now. Cheers.

[A]

All right. You left time between this and the Tequila song will really get us in the mood for a cheers. But that one's on you for A cheers. This is the part of the show where we hang out with everybody. There it is. Just another 11 bravo. My tier one gun. Better be serial number squishy 0001.

[D]

Boom.

[C]

My machine gu. Here.

[A]

Tomorrow I'll be able to make that amazing pod. Thank you, RV 2721. Oh, let's see here. Eyes, ear said yo. Why don't people remember the Snooper waited until the trans question to discharge? You know what that's in reference to?

[D]

I didn't hear the question. Sorry. All right.

[A]

Well then you missed it.

[D]

What was it? Say it again.

[B]

There was a trans question to Charlie Kirk before he shot.

[A]

I believe Dwazi Brent's Bluetooth speaker is like the drum set on Step Brothers.

[C]

It is.

[A]

Did you touch my drum set? Yeah. T bone maggot. If you monogram the Tier one firearm to say Squishy, then I want one.

[D]

Done.

[A]

Sandy. Go, Brian. Eating leftover hot dogs and vibing ZD solutions. Really? Long haired dude yoked his

[D]

20 years ago.

[A]

Sean's. Sean's been an absolute 5% body fat stud for as long as I've known him. We all go through. Everyone gets in better shape here. There. Have you ever had a love handle?

[C]

I don't think so. I'm not sure. I can't spell that.

[A]

I don't think he's capable of it. I didn't know Jeff Spicoli was a Green Beret.

[C]

That's a good one. I'll accept that one. A good one.

[B]

Oh, there.

[A]

Oh. Chris Beerworth. 8659. Otherwise known as Washed Up Goon on Patreon. I ordered cigars and coffee with the $250 from the patriotic picture.

[B]

Well deserved.

[A]

Well well deserved.

[B]

You know what? That's how you keep that figure.

[A]

Eyes, ears, the Tyler Robinson. Waited until the Kirk question. Sure looked like. I still don't know. Maybe I'm missing things that he's doing there.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Dwazi Squishy Lion Arms T shirts. I know. Bruce wayne. Careful, Brent. YouTube may take down the live because of that murderous cigar. We were talking about this on Patreon. It's true. It's crazy. The sick amount of things that's on YouTube. There's just some degenerates and some. And some really vile things on YouTube.

[D]

Yeah.

[A]

Cigar. You're right.

[D]

Out.

[B]

Right out.

[A]

What do we do in YouTube?

See what I posted on the Patreon? No, the 4 of July post that I made the flyer.

[A]

Okay.

[D]

Ripped because it had a pew on it.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

That's crazy.

[D]

It's a flyer.

[A]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

You missed this earlier in the chats, but people have been going crazy over Sean's toes. And they said in a toe competition, who would win bo's toes for Sean's,

[C]

So there you go.

[B]

And then they also said that Sean's toes look like the guy with the strong hand on Scary Movie, the mashed potatoes. And then just never another 11 Bravo said, has Sean ever stirred mashed potatoes with his feet? His feet don't even have body fat.

[C]

For the right amount of money, I'll stir any potato in my feet.

[D]

Just got to subscribe to Sean.

[A]

Oh, my gosh. Oh, man. I love that you made it to a live. This lives are so much. I love the live shows for this very reason. Brent, do arrests keep you out of sf, CIA or army? Depends on what you were arrested for

[C]

and how long ago and how long ago you.

[A]

Yep, for sure. But not necessarily.

[C]

That's.

[A]

Without knowing more. That would be right wing nut says Devin. You did a fantastic job. I don't know if anyone noticed. What time we started tonight?

[D]

801.

[B]

No, not on my watch.

[C]

No, not on my watch.

[A]

That's not GPS time. It's not GPS time. Right on time. That's when we started. All right. All right. There we go. Britney player for tier one podcast patches. That's not a bad idea, actually. I. I think that'd be a good one. I do. I think that'd be a good. We were looking at tier one flags, like for the boat or for the gym or random things like that. And they're. You can get them pretty cheap, but because it's not a logo per se, it's words.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Do you. Do you do a two sided flag to ensure no matter which way you see it, you read it correctly? You can get it pretty cheap. Just a one sided flag. But I was thinking about doing flags. Flags and patches. That's.

[D]

That's.

[A]

That's probably next.

[B]

And challenge coins.

[A]

And challenge coins. I know. Let's see what we said. Oh, I know. We said we're gonna play. I got it. That's right. The hamster fell off the wheel for a second, but it hops. But it hopped right back.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[A]

Is. Is this it? I don't remember who sings it. Or here, did you know who sings it?

[B]

They wanted the Peewee Herman version, but

[A]

that's what this is. That's essentially from the movie.

[B]

Oh, we got one more super chat that just came in.

[D]

Okay.

[A]

I have so many questions, Brent. Is this a gay thing or what what the what? No. Devin. What is Britt's pet name? Oh, and he missed it, but it's.

[B]

It is squishy, okay? Aka squish.

[A]

Aka squish. Squishy McSquaer tins.

[B]

Squishy butt. Squish.

[A]

I should have started this.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

We could have just stopped it. Okay.

[C]

All right.

[B]

Got it.

[A]

Are you doing the horse races on the weekends with the little stick print? You know? What, the horse races on the weekend with the little stick.

[C]

No.

[B]

Where people act like they're riding horses, but it's just the stick with the horse head and they, like, jump over. Do you know what he's talking about?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I'm not. I'm not doing this. Are you one of the furry people?

[C]

No.

[A]

What's going on here? Talk to me, sonny. Sunny's concerned about me.

[B]

No, it's because of his Oreo honey bun sweet tooth that I realized that he is a fat kid at heart. So I just gave him the name to match.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And he became Squishy.

[A]

That is true.

[D]

Nutella.

[A]

I'll put down some Nutella. I will. Jars overseas. I would put down jars of Nutella. Absolutely.

[D]

Are we doing a toast?

[A]

Tequila ready, sir. Do well. Let's get ready for it.

[B]

Line it up, Magnet. Beer's up. Oh, we got some Mezcal there.

[A]

And here we go. When's the next giveaway? Great question. I think we have a smaller version of a pew. Pew. That's very tier one. It will be modded out two. Tier two, get. No, not tier two. Ready there. Yeah. So that'll be ready. We got a hatchet getting. Getting made from brotherhood blades. I got. We. We got some things in the works if they take too long. I'm thinking about getting a. Remember that site we saw at the outdoor event where it's a night vision with thermal overlay gun sight? That was. That was a really cool one. I got to put hands on it. Look through it. Looks like that works.

[D]

Done.

[A]

So the smaller ones tomorrow. So we're gonna get right back on the giveaway. And I told brotherhood blades and said, hey, make. Make this the coolest hatchet you've ever made. That. That was. That was the. The left and right limits for brotherhood blade. So we got some cool giveaways coming up. Thank you for the question. I've stalled enough to make sure.

[C]

It's a simple toast. So like, we say cheers and they say salu for. For tequila for Zapoteca. So the guys I work with, they're all Zapoteca and they speak Zapoteca Andol. They say dish bay. Dish means cheers. But it's a more. More family oriented, so more loving kind of thing. So dish
