Main Theme & Purpose

This episode features host and former Delta Force Operator Brent Tucker in a lively, candid roundtable with Shane Foster of Guild Solutions. The conversation is recorded live, with input from producer Drew Tucker, Magnet, Tyler (from Patreon), and others. The group covers everything from current events (Super Bowl controversies, Olympic athletes’ protests, and the Nancy Guthrie case), to hard-hitting commentary on American culture, to in-depth insights about tactical breaching, especially explosive entry techniques. The hallmark is an unapologetic, irreverent tone combining humor, brotherhood, and deep respect for the military/law enforcement community.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Hot Takes on Current Events & Culture Wars

1. Missing Persons & Media Narratives

• Nancy Guthrie Case (00:45-11:00):
  • The hosts discuss the ongoing disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, speculating about suspects, motives, and media coverage.
  • Quote (Brent, 06:13): "At first I thought it was just a home invasion, possibly a murder... It's right out of a TV show."
  • The team jokes about conspiracy theories and the “Netflix special” inevitability, mixed with genuine concern for the victim's fate.

2. Super Bowl & Halftime Show Controversy

• Bad Bunny’s Halftime Show (11:00-25:00):
  • Extended criticism of Jay Z’s selection of Bad Bunny for the halftime show, covering declining entertainment quality, cultural disconnect, FCC involvement, and a perceived gap between athletic events and core NFL fans.
  • Quote (Brent, 15:22): "The things he said in Spanish are absolutely disgusting. If he’d sung it in English, the NFL would have never allowed him on the show."
  • Bad Bunny’s performance is framed as out of touch with the NFL fanbase, with the group mocking the lack of audience engagement and discussing the fallout and ratings drop.

3. National Identity & Olympic Protests

• Athletes Criticizing the USA (25:00-36:00):
  • Two U.S. Olympians' public comments about ICE and U.S. politics spark heated criticism from Brent and Shane, who argue athletes should show gratitude and represent the nation positively.
  • Quote (Brent, 28:09): “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US? Then go represent somewhere else.”
  • Discusses the double standard of privilege, victim representation, and the literal cost of American freedoms (invoking cases of American women assaulted/murdered by illegal immigrants).

Tactical Deep Dive: Explosive Breaching & Law Enforcement Training

History & Evolution of Explosive Breaching (121:00+)

• Origins:
  • First modern explosive breach: LA, 1969, at the Black Panther compound.
  • SAS Iranian Embassy 1980—influential but “P for Plenty” (overuse of explosives) mindset.
• Modern Advancements:
  • Incorporation of science, computational fluid dynamics, and AI modeling.
  • Growing focus on minimizing traumatic brain injury, precise charges, and methodical application.
  • Institutional knowledge (military and law enforcement) has grown significantly in the past decade.

Practical TTPs & Training

• Mastery of breaching, especially in hostage rescue and high-risk entries, is essential (“You cannot screw it up”).
• Always maintain secondary and tertiary plans for failed breaches—alternate tools or entry points.
• Law enforcement applications especially need to avoid collateral injury and unnecessary force.
• Fun Anecdote: Shane recounts a childhood fascination with explosives, experimenting with the Anarchist’s Cookbook—a nod to the generational culture of "hands-on learning" and risk.

Business & Community Ethos

• Both the podcast and Guild Solutions are deeply intertwined with supporting military, law enforcement, and first responder communities.
• Shane, for example, directs affiliate proceeds to training scholarships for SWAT officers.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Bad Bunny & NFL:
  “If that were true and they were going to do it so they could make money, they would have picked someone that was more popular, that spoke English. Jay Z’s just an idiot.“
  — Brent (22:17)
• On Olympic Athletes Dissing the US:
  "You're a curler. Shut up. Let's… before I really… It's curling!"
  — Brent (26:28)
• Defending ICE:
  "If you understood the big picture of what's happening across the country, you would be praising ICE on every single platform.”
  — Shane (33:36)
• On Super Bowl Commercials:
  "There is no other commercial that came close. And if you didn't cry, you're not American. That was the Budweiser commercial with the foal."
  — Shane (138:05)
• Audience & Team Banter: Throughout, the crew heckles each other, shares in-jokes (“piss bottle” stickers for fans!), and roasts both guests and public figures with affection and sarcasm.

Uplifting Segment: Promoting Veteran Songwriter James McGregor

(101:22–108:37)

• Listener James McGregor’s “Battle Scars” is played live, celebrated for honoring American veterans' sacrifices.
• The team urges listeners to support grassroots musicians and veterans directly, contrasting true Americana with Hollywood/Super Bowl spectacle.
• Quote (Brent, 106:51): “That song could be played on the radio right now... Please make it.”

Hola, muchachos. Bienvenidos, Tier One El podcast. Some said it worked out for Bad Bunny, but there's some new stat coming out that said, not so fast. Maybe it didn't work out for Bad Bunny in the NFL, and we're going to get into that. Welcome back to the Tier One Podcast Live edition. Magnet, Slate. He's going to walk right by the cameras, but he brought some Mick Ultra, so he's cool with us. We have Shane Foster from Guild Solutions. We got Tyler from the Patreon over there at the guest seat, as always. We have Magnet and his magnificent beard. We got Drew at the controls. Let's do this. No live. No. But no. No intro music.

If you will. Whether it be a song or a. A new story. That comes up. You have, you have you followed the, the Nancy Gun three thing at all?

[C]

Yeah, it's. It's quite the debacle and the interviews. It's, it's. It's a little weird as far as how things are being pushed off. Yeah, it's a little strange.

[B]

It kind of captivated, captivated me right from the beginning. Like this is weird. Like, and then more like information came out and I was like, oh, what, what happened to her know. And so it's just some of those weird things that I get an update on every day. I almost went out there and looked for myself. I mean I'm emotionally invested into this magnet. I'm ask a stupid question magnet. Have you been, have you been following this at all?

[C]

A little bit.

[B]

I, it's kind of crazy. Surprised. Surprised. Didn't they make a lot of time like you do? Okay, Tyler, you've been, you've been following it at all?

[C]

I haven't been.

[B]

Okay. I think we're gonna do a new segment. Nancy update 2026, day eight. Let me fill you guys in on exactly what's happening to Grandmama Nancy. The FBI provided new identifying details about the suspect seen in the video on the porch of Nan and Nancy's home the morning she disappeared. Authorities are looking for a male who is five nine to five kin with average build who's wearing a black 24 liter Ozark trailer hiker pack Guthrie. The 84 year old mother of the Today co co anchor Savannah Guthrie was dropped off at her home the night of January 31st after spending time with her family and was reported missing about noon on February 1st. A man was detained for questioning in the investigation earlier this week and released without charges after speaking with investigators, authorities say. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said it has fielded thousands of calls since the FBI released security photos and videos from the morning of Guthrie's. Guthrie's disappeared. The images showed a potential subject wearing gloves, a mask, backpack, who appeared to tamper with the camera. Savannah Guthrie posted a montage of home video footage of her mom on Instagram today. Our lovely mom. We will never give up on her. Thank you for your prayers and hope, she wrote. It's crazy. It. At first I thought it was just a home invasion, possibly a murder. Like we knew there were some foul play but didn't say what it was. And then later on you kind of find out. It seems like they're hinting that, that it's not so cut and dry. And the next thing I see is the, you know, her daughter giving a plea on TV to bring her mom back. I kind of caught that in the middle, like, oh, well, this means she. They believe she was kidnapped and they found blood on the floor. Then they released the. The evidence. What is going on here? I mean, this is a. This is right out of a TV show.

[C]

And did you see all the new stuff about the suspect's eyebrows? Yeah, it's pretty intense. So male, female. The dude's got some killer eyebrows. Definitely some eyeliner going in there. I think that is now like the new.

[B]

Do you think it's J.D. vance?

[C]

It could be now. Okay. You're opening up a whole new can. I mean, I hear that could be people from developmental group.

[B]

Michael.

[C]

Closer. So, yeah. I don't know. I don't know. It's really interesting because they're kind of this female thing. So now they're saying it is the. Possibly The. The daughter that was involved. And I don't know. It's a strange. It's strange.

[B]

I know. I feel like this is. This is going to be a Netflix.

[C]

Documentary that are really screwed up Hallmark film.

[B]

And I don't feel like she's that rich to go. To go taking her mom. What. What. What is it? Magnet.

[A]

Well, she makes $8 million a year.

[B]

Does she? Yeah. For being a news anchor.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

You better be right.

[A]

Chat. Check me Chat.

[B]

What facts.

[A]

Ch me.

[B]

Google that and make him look silly if he's wrong. But that's.

[A]

But maybe I see the new video today.

[B]

See now what they do today.

[A]

They found another video of him. They think that the suspect with the same backpack without the mask on going through someone's trash. And then their trials trying to get into their house.

[B]

Oh, right now we're. We're. We're calling it. We're gonna. We're gonna go clockwise, starting with Tyler, who hasn't even followed this. But it's okay. I don't. I don't need you to know anything about this. Is she being found. Is she. Is she being found alive and returned to her family? Yes or no?

[A]

I'd put money on the family was involved and she's out in the desert.

[B]

Oh. Oh, you're going. You're going detailed with it. Okay. Oh, you know, we'll do it that way. Thanks for not following the rules, but somehow you made it better.

[C]

It's with the home inspections.

[B]

Yeah, I thought following the rules was. Was your thing, like, you make sure other people follow the rules.

[C]

Your electric is okay. He's got no wires.

[B]

Magnet. What's. What. What Is going on with this? You tell me.

[A]

I don't know if the family was involved or not, but.

[B]

Okay. How does it end?

[A]

She's dead.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

She's in the desert somewhere. She's. What are they? New Mexico?

[B]

Arizona?

[A]

Arizona or New Mexico.

[B]

And I just said I followed it real close, and I don't know where it's at.

[C]

New Mexico.

[B]

I might. I might have dramatize a little bit for the live, but I do. I do follow it. Drew, do you have any idea what the story is?

[A]

No. I work for a living, and I don't give a rip about all these people, so. But I did google that Savannah Guthrie makes $8 million a year on the morning show or something like that.

[B]

Crazy to me that you make that much money on the morning show. That's crazy. All right, Drew. Doesn't matter, you fault or not, sometimes you get lucky.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

How does it end?

[A]

How does it end?

[B]

Yep.

[A]

He'S dead.

[B]

I love it. Well, I love it.

[C]

Someone that follows Nancy Guthrie is trans.

[B]

Someone who follows it and is from the law enforcement community. Shane, what say you?

[C]

I think it was probably a kidnapping gone wrong. She's dead. They find the suspect later on and charges get pressed. That's at least what comes out.

[B]

Yeah. Here's what I hate to say. I know she has health problems, and I know she needs her medication. I believe it ends up being a botched kidnap. I believe they wanted her to be alive. I believe she dies in the kidnapper's custody. And of course, they find all this out. He's brought to justice. They never get away with it.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And. And it's a. It's a sad ending.

[A]

Yep.

[B]

I'm. I'm hoping for the best immigrant. I'm hoping for the immigrant. I hope. I, I. There's. Of course there's a pot. There's a. There's a possibility, in fact. Hold that thought. That's going to come back in. Into play here in a little bit. But that's what we got for Nancy Guth. Just want to talk about something that as. As the people roll in, but we got a few more things that I really. I really want to talk about, and I'm sure you guys do, too. I don't know if you guys are aware, but the super bowl just happened. You guys. You guys remember that game?

[C]

Vaguely.

[B]

I fell asleep at the end of the year.

[A]

Even I know about that.

[B]

It used to be really cool. It used to have great commercials.

[C]

Yeah. It was really football this year because all he did was kick from what.

[B]

I hear some punting. Yeah. And the. The Patriots on the receiving end of a. Of getting their asses kicked. There was more kicking than. Than even that. The commercials used to be funny. The halftime show used to be amazing. But you would think it's. It's a softball, right? Like, it really is. This is the only thing you have to do. No one even cares if the game is good, to be honest with you. Like, don't get me wrong, that's icing on the cake. The only thing you have to do for a successful super bowl is for the people who are paying, what is it, millions of dollars per minute on advertising space.

[A]

8 million. I think.

[B]

8 million can't be the answer to everything, guys. Okay, I'm actually being serious. Oh, yeah, serious.

[A]

Yeah. It's just coincidence. Same number.

[B]

The only thing I have to do is make a funny commercial and invite someone that everyone knows and likes and likes to dance or bop to at the halftime show. I mean, it's pretty easy. The NFL couldn't screw that up, could they? Well, as everyone here in the world already knows, the NFL absolutely screwed that up. Do you know who's in charge of picking the. The halftime show?

[C]

I have no idea.

[A]

Nancy Pelosi.

[B]

Drew you.

[A]

It's a Democrat. I know that.

[B]

All right, one year back. Anyone want to guess?

[A]

Is it Robert? What's his name?

[B]

No. Robert Goodell. Robert Goodell has no idea who. Who Bad Bunny was and definitely didn't pick him. No one here knows.

[A]

Isn't it Jay Z?

[B]

It's Jay Z. Wow. Jay Z is hired by the NFL to be a. Basically a spokesman and a go between and a brand ambassador, and he picked Bad Bunny. So.

[C]

So he picks bad women and bad bunnies.

[B]

Oh, gosh, I see what you did there. Yeah. So he picks Bad Bunny and what. What's crazy is the initial numbers. Everyone's like, this was the most watched super bowl.

[A]

And.

[B]

And the initial ratings for the halftime show, it didn't drop at all, which makes it one of the most watched, if not the most watched halftime show ever. Well, turns out that's not exactly true. So let's see exactly what happened. But since not everyone watched it, let me show you what people are complaining about. About. About the halftime show beginning.

[A]

That's how I remember it.

[B]

That's what I heard. That is. That's what I heard. Is that. Is it not. See, the problem is I don't speak Spanish, so I don't know if that. I. I believe that was from the halftime show. I could be wrong. The Internet's a wily place. But the. Before we get into that, actually a little. I don't think he spoke a word of English the whole time. I love the videos that people took, like during the halftime show and showed the audience. And everyone's just standing there. No one's dancing, no one's excited. No one has their phones out. The whole. The whole crowd just standing there is such a flop. There was some controversy. Is a lot of controversy, in fact. And we'll go into this before we go into the ratings. It was all in Spanish. Now, it didn't happen initially, and I actually don't think it would have happened without people starting to raise a stink about it. But if I didn't think it would affect my show, I would read you the lyrics to some of these Bad Bunny songs. They're disgusting.

[C]

Yeah, man, I've seen them.

[B]

They're absolutely disgusting. The super bowl has always been a family friendly show. The things he said in Spanish are absolutely disgusting. And if he'd have sang it and English, the NFL would have never allowed him on the show. They would have forced him to change his lyrics, and the FCC would have immediately fined him. Well, it seems like the FCC is finally getting involved days later after the uproar of it. But initially not a word from the. From the fcc. How crazy is that? Insane.

[C]

Yeah, I seen where they came in. I can't remember how many millions of dollars the fine was that supposedly they're going to try to impose. You remember that number? Sky 8 million. 8 million. That's it. Thanks.

[B]

Yeah, but it is.

[C]

But again, it comes back to being reactionary. Right. They're not ahead of it. They wanted to see how the public perception was. And then the public. Then right there, they jump in and like, yeah, okay, now let's do something about it. So it just shows their gut list like most of those individuals.

[B]

So let's. So let's look at. To the Jesse Waters one Drew. And let's see, after the hard data actually came out, let's see what actually happened for the super bowl numbers. Bad Bunny lost millions of viewers during his halftime performance, which you may remember was in espanol. The crowd didn't comprende either.

[A]

Well, they're not dancing, but I don't even know why they're standing up. Maybe the tire is sitting down from watching the Super Bowl.

[C]

But that comment there, watching bad.

[B]

According to the numbers, Bad Bunny lost a.

[A]

What's that?

[C]

But watching Bad Bunny is like listening to Joe Biden's speech.

[B]

Oh, yeah. Not too far off.

[C]

That was pretty awesome.

[A]

Keep.

[B]

Keep going, Drew.

[A]

I thought that was it. My bad.

[B]

No.

[A]

Record.

[B]

Slice of super bowl viewers during halftime. But it also could have been that people turned it off because the game sucked. Did you like the Bad Bunny halftime?

[A]

You know what I think is so amazing? No, I didn't like it. And as I said at the time, there were zero words spoken in English, so I thought I was watching a Joe Biden speech.

[B]

Right.

[A]

It gave me flashbacks to the State of the Union. But is it not amazing that Bad Bunny was at the Grammys bashing ICE a week later, he deported 6 million viewers. And what you saw there in the crowd, trying to act into it, it reminded me when Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry was trying to act like he liked Somali food, trying to choke it down. But this is the problem with a guy not speaking English. Every song becomes a B side. You know, when you go to see a famous band.

[B]

Yeah, like what?

[A]

Paul McCartney will say this. He'll go, you know, sometimes I like to play wing songs, or as you guys call them, bathroom breaks. So he plays a few Beatles jams, and he goes, well, here comes another bathroom break. Bad Bunny is playing nothing but wing songs because nobody in the audience knows it. That Bunny lost.

[B]

Just so out of touch with reality. And. But this is what I hate. And. And unlike I've had some people say this to me, and. And I hate to say it, they're wrong. Someone just said, well, oh, the NFL just had their Bud Light moment. No, they didn't. Absolutely no, they didn't. Bud Light in the NFL is a horrible comparison. And. And I want you to tell me. Tell me if I'm wrong. I said, there's a lot of beers that they'll drink, so if you don't like Bud Light, go to Miller Light, go to. And people are going to hate me for this all they want, but every light beer is the same. I mean, it's. They're not so different that you hate one. And. And, like, I mean, you can find a replacement is what I'm saying. You can find a replacement. The NFL. There's no. There's no other place to go. There's only one NFL. Plus, these. These fans are generational fans. Their grandfather is. Was a die hard Steeler fans, and their dad was a die hard Steeler fans. Now they are die hard Steeler fans, and they ensured that their son is die hard Steeler fans. They're not leaving.

[C]

They monopolize the market.

[B]

They. They're not leaving. And so what I Hate is that the NFL isn't going to get any repercussion from this. Like they should. Like, like Bud Light will and they'll. And they'll sit there and they'll still rake in the money. Be like, okay. There will be no forcing function for them to change is what I mean.

[C]

Yeah. But no, they're absolutely in just intrinsic when it comes to sports. It's a way of life. Right where I used to work up in Cleveland, Ohio area. Those people don't leave and they don't come into that city. But they are lifelong fans and it doesn't matter. Rain storms, it doesn't matter how good or how bad their team is. They're going to stay loyal and faithful and they're going to continue to go to the games. It's just the way it is.

[B]

The Browns have sucked my whole life and the, the dog pound, you know, and they've had die hard fans for sure. Yeah, for sure. They're not going anywhere. No. And. And again, I, I hate it. And Roger Goodell, there's so much backlash about this. Do you think? Here's my next question. My next question for you. I mean, really. Because that's in the day. Picking the halftime show is so easy. It's literally like this. Go to the Billboard top 100. Start with number one. Do they want to do the show? Nope. Number two. Nope. Number three. This. There you go. That seems pretty easy.

[C]

Yeah, that's. That's logic and we don't use logic anymore.

[B]

Here's.

[A]

No, they don't get paid for that either.

[B]

E. That's not. Ah. If I remember right, they don't get paid for it. Hold on, hold on.

[A]

Who doesn't get paid?

[B]

No, hold on. This. Someone's going to have to check me on this. They do. I'm sorry, they don't get paid, but they get allotted a certain amount of money for the halftime show. You know, but here's the thing. Anything you spend over that you have to cover. And as far as I can remember, almost every single halftime performer of late that has these extravagant shows, it ends up costing them money to be the halftime performer.

[C]

Yeah. But I'm sure what they're getting in publicity, that's what they're doing. Yeah. Even. Even bad publicity.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So, yeah.

[A]

I think Apple had a small hand in this as well, because Apple is the halftime show sponsor. $50 million to be the halftime show sponsor. And so I'm not saying that Apple chose Bad Bunny. I think that's a Jay Z thing. But I Think Apple had a hand in it? Because Apple's gonna make huge money globally on anybody who downloads the music. And then Bad Bunny's gonna make money on, you know, all the music that's down.

[B]

Right? Here's the fallacy of that. You chose someone that's not that popular, that only speaks and sings a language. English is a almost universal language in the world. What you're saying doesn't hold water because that doesn't make sense. Because if that were true and they were going to do it so they could make money, they would have picked someone that was more popular, that spoke English. They'd have had more sales. Jay Z's just an idiot. I just, I mean, Jay Z's an idiot. And it just, it. When, when's the last time. This is the last point I want to make about this. And then, then we'll move on to other things in sports that, that have pissed me off and will piss everyone else off here as well. What is the fan base of the NFL? Go look at that video. I'm not saying go do it right now. Go look at that video and show me everyone that was in the stands of an NFL game.

[C]

White Republicans. Is that what you'.

[B]

White blue collar workers.

[C]

Yeah, we can say Republican too.

[B]

Yeah. White blue collar workers. That's who fills the stands generally of, of the NFL. How many of them do you think have even heard about Bunny? Like, why wouldn't you placate to the people who paid thousands of dollars to be there? You know who they want to hear? Yeah, well, I mean, Metallica, heck, Nickelback, bring in. I. Don't, don't you start with me, Magnet. Don't you start with me, man.

[C]

I'll say we, I, we work a lot with South Florida, the Cuban culture. Love Hispanic culture. Love it. But we also have to be somewhat tuned into who our audience is. What's the saying? Know the room, right? You know, read the room. Read the room, right? Yeah, read the room. So with that, man, split it. Okay. You want to pay homage and tribute to Latino culture. That's awesome, man. But what about the rest of the people in the room? And, and that's my thing. It was not, it was all very one sided. That's where I had a major issue with it. Like, hey, know who your audience is and cater to the big audience. I know, I watched the other show.

[B]

Yeah, I did too, actually. I, I was one of those guys. I turned it, I went to Turning Point and I watched their, their halftime show. Yeah, absolutely.

[C]

Who was your favorite out of the turning point.

[B]

Well, Kid Rock. I'm a big Kid Rock fan.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

So. And his last song on there was awesome, awesome, awesome.

[A]

Last.

[B]

Last song.

[C]

Yeah, it was. It was great.

[B]

Well, it's not just Bad Bunny. That's an idiot. Our own Olympic athletes are idiots. Can you believe that? You're wearing the flag, the colors, representing this country in the Olympics. You have gall to say what this guy here says. Drew, go ahead and play the first video.

[A]

To be here to represent Team USA and to represent our country. But we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been for everybody. This stuff is happening right. Right around where we live, and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear what the Olympics means is excellence, respect, friendship. And we all, I think, exemplify that.

[B]

All right, well, you, sir, are an idiot.

[A]

Pretty much.

[B]

You're just. That's who you are. You're. You. You're. You're an idiot. You saying what's going on in Minnesota? For starters. What are you doing airing out our dirty laundry, even if it were at the Olympics. Two. You're a curler. Shut up.

[C]

Get your broom and go do your thing.

[B]

You're a curler. Shut up. You sweep ice at the Olympics. Ah. At a. I see what you did.

[C]

There at a high level, but that's what he's doing. He's trying to sweep ice.

[B]

I can't even say shut up and dribble. At least. At least basketball is like. At least like some sort of manly sport that I almost care about your opinion, but still don't. And if I don't care about LeBron James's opinion. Opinion, I sure as hell don't care about your opinion. Yeah, he looks like a coach. He sounds like a. Like a. Just shut up. Let's. Let's. Before I really. It's getting. I'm saying it's pissing me off. I don't. I don't normally get this. It's curling.

[A]

An athlete. Yeah.

[C]

Drew. Dropped the temperature in the room a little bit here.

[B]

All right.

[A]

Oh, no, I'll raise it.

[B]

Let's go to the next video. Oh, by the time I'm done with the next video. Video, it'll be. It'll be flaming hot in here with rage.

[A]

Flaming more than that other guy.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, we'll see.

[A]

You know, a lot of times, athletes are hesitant to talk about political views about things I feel heartbroken about what's.

[B]

Happened in the United States when it.

[A]

You know, I'm pretty sure you're referencing.

[B]

ICE and some of the protests and things like that.

[A]

I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights and making sure that we're treating our citizens as well as anybody, with love and respect.

[B]

I think it's. It brings up mixed emotions to represent the US Right now. I think it's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of, and.

[A]

I think a lot of people aren't.

[B]

Just because I'm wearing the flag doesn't.

[A]

Mean I represent everything that's going on in the US Then go represent.

[B]

Let me just. Let me just talk about these two nincompoops real quick. You ski. You ski at the Olympics. You. You aloof pricks. You have no. You have no idea what's going on. And you're not heartbroken. You're absolutely not heartbroken. And I'll, And I'll explain why he's not heartbroken here in a second. He said we need to be treating all citizens with respect. I agree with that. And then, of course, he wants. Oh, and. And everyone. No, it's actually. That's actually not true. You break into my country. Your country. Your country that represents the Olympics. I do not have to treat you with respect. You didn't treat my country with respect when you broke in illegally. You do not have any rights. You don't. There's. There's no rights for me to protect. You're lucky you broke into America, and we're not going to treat you the way some other countries will treat you. We'll treat you with respect, even though you don't deserve it. But no, you're an absolute idiot. And let me tell you, there's two stances they could have taken. Well, actually, nay. 3. I don't use your word. Use the word nay unless I want.

[C]

To look a little bit smarter when proving well stood.

[B]

You could shut up and ski and just be proud of your country and be grateful for the opportunity that you have, because you may not ever have it. Have it again, especially in Olympic. Four years later is a. Is a. Is an eternity to an athlete. You just shut your mouth, enjoy it, and praise the country. That's the best country in the world. That's probably what you should do. Why don't you just go ahead and choose option a B? You could sit there and talk about ice agents and how this is a tragedy and how you're heartbroken that we're upholding our own laws and we're kicking out people who are here illegally and have done and we're, and we're prioritizing criminals on top of that. Or c. Here's what you could do. You could get behind what ICE is doing because let me tell you some of the things maybe you should be upset about. Are you ready for this? Everyone knows I actually won't even say their name because I, I don't, I don't think they're, they're worthy of, of you hearing their names. The two people that, that died fighting ice. Let me tell you the names you should know. Rachel Morin, a mother of five. Morin was. I can't use the R word. Thanks, YouTube. But forced without consent and murdered while jogging on a trail in Maryland August 2023. An illegal immigrant from El Salvador, Victor Martinez Hernandez was convicted of the crime and sentenced to life in prison. Jocelyn Nunre, a 12 year old girl was found strangled to death in Houston Creek in June 2024. Two illegal immigrants from Venezuela were charged with her capital murder and assault of forcing themselves Lake and Riley, a 22 year old nursing student was brutally murdered while on a jog at the University of Georgia in February 2024. An illegal immigrant from Venezuela was charged with her murder. A case that prompted passage of the federal Lake and Riley Act. Kayla Hamilton, a 16 year old girl was forced upon her without her consent and murdered in Maryland. An illegal immigrant was arrested in connection with her death. A 15 year old girl in Albany, New York because she's underage is not named in June 2024 of an illegal immigrant was arrested for a violent forcing of himself on her. A 16 year old girl in New York in September 2025 of an illegal alien from Honduras was charged with murder after running over the girl and her family after she refused his advances. An 11 year old girl in Georgia, an illegal immigrant from Mexico was charged with forcing himself on her an 11 year old girl while holding her 10 year old sister at knife point. January 2026. I can go the rest of this episode going down the line. I literally had to stop because I'm just bubbling with anger.

[C]

And Brent, you're talking about those that were murdered or forced upon. That doesn't even start the assaults which goes into the thousands upon thousands. That doesn't even get into the women that were groped or elderly that were beat. And the list goes on and on and on.

[B]

Right?

[C]

Yeah. And there's so many cases out there where they don't truly understand what ice is doing. They listen to mainstream media. We know those guys. We work with those guys. We understand behind the scenes of actually what's happening. And so the context of these comments out there is so shallow. It really comes down to the issue. If you understood the big picture of what's happening across the country, you would be praising ice on every single platform.

[A]

Brent, what do you think the. This skier. Do you think this skier would like it? Do you think he'd be heartbroken if. If people who didn't qualify to be on the United States Ski Team just wanted to be on the United States Ski Team and they didn't qualify for it? You think he'd have a problem with that?

[B]

Oh, my gosh. And you think he would treat them respectfully and be heartbroken that they didn't have a chance to be on the Olympic team?

[A]

Yeah. Wasn't their fault. They didn't have a ski mountain in their backyard.

[B]

Drew, you can include the curler in that argument. Could you imagine. Could you imagine if these Mexican curlers walked out onto the stage before them wearing. Wearing Team America and wanting to do the competition? Do you think he'd be like, you know what? They're just looking for a better opportunity for themselves and their family? You. You. You go ahead. You. You sweep the ice. You deserve it.

[C]

Take a model bottles and just slide.

[B]

No.

[C]

Absolutely not.

[B]

No world do we live in where they would be okay with that. But just. But to get back, just to. Just to show my point, because I'm still upset about reading those names and the ages of some of those people, you, as an Olympic athlete, you have a platform and you chose to bring down the good name of this country for law enforcement officers doing their job that they're legally allowed to do, legally should do, and legally been told to do. And you chose to run this nation's name through the mud for doing what they're supposed to do, and you don't even. You wouldn't. You wouldn't know one of those girls names if I told it to them.

[C]

Yeah, gutless. Weak and gutless.

[B]

They say they're protector of women. They. They say they stand for something for. For something. You're no protector of women. You had not. You had an opportunity to say something and protect those who. Who can't protect themselves, and you chose to go after ice. I hate it. I absolutely hate it. I don't. We might have to take a break early. Drew.

[C]

Let's.

[B]

Yeah, let's. Let's. Let's Go to super chat.

[A]

They're a user of women.

[B]

They're.

[A]

They're a user of women. They. They. They use women, and they create women as an oppressed group, and they. What's the word I'm looking for when they take advantage of that opportunity? They.

[B]

Yeah, I mean, they're manipulating. They. They're manipulating the opportunity. I know what you say. I'm trying to think of the word for you to try to help you out.

[A]

Yeah, there's a word for it. And mind. Let's see. Chase Lee says. Evening, gents. Just want to recognize some lost brothers and wish them happy birthday. Staff Sergeant Adam Dickmire, born 2-2-84. Past October 28, 2010. Killed in action, Afghanistan. Staff Sergeant Sean Flannery, today 2-12-80. Born and died November 22, 2010. Ten killed in Afghanistan. Thanks, Dent and Drew and brew and what y' all do. All right, well, drink to this.

[B]

I have to pause that for a second, Drew. Absolutely, Chase. Thanks so much for doing that. Got up, Sergeant.

[A]

That's.

[B]

That's exactly what I needed, to be honest with you. Although that's. Although that's horrible news. I, you know, did. That's. That's heartbreaking. That's what's truly heartbreaking. But what a great country that we're still full of Americans that'll use that opportunity. He could have said anything. He could have said some vulgar. He could have said something funny. He could have said anything. And he chose to recognize men who gave their life for this country. Salute.

[A]

Those are the international athletes that I care about.

[B]

For the boys coming over, Drew.

[A]

Yeah, I'm driving, so I'm good.

[B]

Just, you know. You know how to fake it like this in there.

[C]

I want to need you to kiss me and get it off my lips.

[B]

I didn't take it. All right, what else we got, Drew? Let's see.

[A]

Holy fook. Brent, can you clarify on the live. Last week you mentioned that Matt Tonrow got smoked on a target. But. But didn't he and Jonathan Dunbar die by accidental detonation of a breaching charge carried by Mr. Dunbar?

[B]

Yes, I said he. He died on target, which is true. He died while on target. Let me put it. Let me put it to you like this without getting into maybe some details that some people wouldn't like out there. So follow my logic for a second. And you guys listening. I think you can connect the dots here. Let's say you. You were in a vehicle in Afghanistan and an IED goes off. Now, that IED sets off the gas tank of the vehicle and then you're sitting on top of that gas tank. How upset would you be if the report came out or certain news organizations came out and said, ah, Sergeant, so and so died from an explosion of a fuel tank from the, from the Humvee?

[C]

That's pretty weak.

[B]

I mean, it's true. Yeah, it's true.

[C]

No context.

[B]

No context.

[C]

Right.

[B]

That's mean. That's not really what he died. I mean, yes, but no. You know what I mean, Right? So I think you can kind of connect. Connect those dots about, about what happened there. I hope that. I hope that cleared it up for you. I do believe I laid it out to clear it up for you.

[A]

Solely 1, 2, 3, 4 says, do tier 1 units on average perform the best in all types of firefights?

[B]

I don't know where I'd get the, like, the data to support my answer, but I know the answer is yes. I do. I know the answer is yes.

[A]

Even on the moon, Brent.

[B]

100.

[A]

Like on the moon. All right.

[B]

Eight days a week.

[A]

Yeah. Prove them wrong, folks. Prove them wrong. All right. Solely back in says Brent. All the staff who are. Oh, there it is. Who are all the staff in your podcast? I didn't pre read these guys your podcast. And what do they do? Also, great to see you, Drew. Not the same without you, obviously. Case in point. Who are all the staff in your podcast? What do they do?

[B]

Okay, that's staff. That's a great question. In fact, it's probably a good time to talk because we, We, We've. We've recently had a little bit of changes. So currently I'm the host, Brent Tucker. Drew Tucker, my. My older, wiser, funnier brother. He is the producer. Vanessa used to do marketing for us and she. Man, she was great. She. She did a. She did a great job for months. She's great. She came over from the anti hero podcast, helped me start this whole thing. We just transitioned over to Shayna and Shayna and, And Shayna. Nick are kind of tag teaming it. I don't want to use her last name just in case because her husband is an Orange County SWAT officer and I've gone out there, trained their team. I know you've gone out there, trained their team. And you know Nick.

[C]

I love Nick.

[A]

He's a lethal sniper.

[B]

Oh, yeah. He's such a good dude.

[C]

If Barney Fife was a badass.

[B]

Yes, yes. The nicest sniper Savage you'll ever meet. He is.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

The nicest savage you'll ever meet.

[C]

I'm sure it's Like John Hancock. That's. That's how it had to be changing.

[A]

His name in my phone. I love you, Nick. So if Barney Fife was like six' four or whatever, you know, he was.

[B]

You know, he was a collegian athlete. He played basketball at, At a college level.

[C]

I think he did tell me that before.

[A]

Yeah, down south.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, the. And it was also great because, you know, obviously with the company, first responders, Coffee company, Cigar and cast, Shameless plug. Everything we try to do, we try to connect to first responders. And the tier one podcast of sorts is no different. So that gets to support his family. They just had. They just had a little girl and she had to quit her job. And so she stays at home now. So this gives her an opportunity to help provide for their new baby girl. And the family so super excited about working for them and giving them an opportunity to. To provide. And then we have the utility player Devin, my girlfriend who helps with finances. All bright ideas usually come from her. If there's a funny post, it probably came from her. If there's something cool on Patreon, she probably thought of it. She's. Her interview with you, oh, my gosh.

[C]

Was pretty freaking awesome, dude.

[B]

If you guys haven't seen the Between Two Guns, we haven't done that in a while.

[C]

She destroyed you.

[A]

It's funny.

[B]

Hey, all right, all right. She. Oh, yeah. So let, Let me, Let me let out a little secret here. Let me brag on Devon for a little bit because I don't. I don't get to do this very often. All my other Between Two Guns. You want to know who came up the questions for all those? Devin did. Yeah, I came up with like one or two or three. She came up with, with, with the rest of them. I mean, she's, she's, she's. She's beautiful, she's smart, she's funny. I'm telling you, she is. She is everything.

[C]

Hey, that's like Tanya. She could destroy me. There's a reason that Delilah messed old Samson up.

[B]

Now there's a reason always joker. I can't. We. We can't ever break up because, you know too much.

[C]

Next in the news.

[B]

So anyway, no, I went on a tangent there, but that, that is the team and it. And it takes a team to, To. To manage this even as small as we are, of sorts. And it is a. When we did the handover, it made me realize how complicated this is. Instagram, tick tock, YouTube, Spotify sponsors editing the show, which, Which I do. But then Turning it into clips. Doing the shorts. We hire someone to do the shorts, but then someone has to post all those shorts. Someone has to manage that account. Someone has to line up guests. Someone has to take the guest and put them on the schedule, and then that person has to manage those guests and make sure they're still coming and make sure they know where to be, how to get there. I mean, it is a lot. I could never do it by myself. As small as we are.

[C]

It's.

[B]

It's. It's. It's awesome.

[C]

Yeah. They can't see around the room, but if. If they understood how much technology, even just this.

[B]

Right.

[C]

That's why I asked Drew earlier. I said, man, where did you come up with all this? He's like, yeah, on the fly, right?

[B]

And we can jokingly give Drew a hard time.

[C]

All we want. I just want to meet my brother.

[B]

It's. Yeah, the.

[A]

The.

[B]

Him having to drive over here, you know, two or three times a week, and then get here early, you know, and make sure everything's running and then have a problem that we've never had before and then have to figure that out. It's just. It's a beast. It is a beast of a. Of. Of a project. Anyway, There you go. That's. That's a great question. I'm glad. I'm glad I got a chance to. To brag on everyone. Appreciate that.

[A]

All right, let's see. Solely 1, 2, 3, 4. Says, how religious are US soldiers on deployments? Is it a problem if a soldier is openly not religious? No.

[B]

I'll say this. Some people get a little more religious on deployment, depending on how. How risky the deployment is. But for the most part, the people who believed in God before the deployment and the people who didn't is about the same. And if they don't believe in God, I don't remember giving anyone a hard time or no caring that they did.

[C]

And you know where the spike in religion happens? It's not deployment. It's not Afghanistan. You know where it happens?

[A]

The bullets fly.

[C]

No. Boot camp.

[B]

Because they want to go to church.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Oh, the Di.

[A]

Mac Cheese. Thanks for the love. Appreciate it. Wy Coyote back in. Thank you very much. For 100 bucks, he says the entire Bad Bunny halftime show should be deported for sure. The whole thing.

[C]

I love it.

[B]

So he put 100 bucks. He said, bad Bunny. Is that. Is that a hundred bucks for a Bad Bunny song? Is that the correlation there?

[C]

No.

[A]

Wiley, why'd you do it?

[B]

I guess 100 bucks for a bad Bunny song. Someone's gonna have. Someone's gonna have to out outbid them.

[A]

No, Ice, get a clue. I mean, give me five.

[C]

Give me 30.

[B]

Move.

[A]

I mean, hey, I don't know. Maybe. Maybe the. The NFL was working for ice. Hey, they put them in one spot for you. You missed it. All right. Solely says, has Rob o' Neal made it harder to trust SEAL Team Six or Delta and similar units? If the same lies happened in a Delta AAR and became known how Delta respond, what do you think the punishment should be?

[B]

I think that's a great question.

[A]

Three questions.

[B]

It's a great topic. It's a great subject. Who's counting how many questions there are besides. Besides Drew?

[A]

That's what I do.

[B]

Almost. I know. It's a weird answer. He almost did. Because if you took him at face value and if anyone actually believed him, then he would. But there are Tier One guys like me, and there's other great SEAL Team Six members like Andy Stumpfield. There's great people in the community that would make you go, hold on. They've never lied to me. This isn't. This isn't the norm. But hold on. This guy's lied to us on several occasions. So what makes you think his new story is also the truth when he's never been honest with you from the beginning? From the beginning. So, no, I don't think it makes it harder to trust SD6. I think it makes it harder to trust Rob O'. Neal. And there isn't anything that Delta's done on target that would. That almost never even makes it in the news. Makes it in a podcast. They've done nothing to tarnish their reputation. I don't believe they ever will again. The individuals do it. You know, who's John McPhee didn't put into question Delta's reputation, his lies, and him being fired from the unit, him being fired from the military, him being demoted, him having a Special Forces tab revoked for what he did to women, some awake, some asleep, that he drugged. He only drug his own name through the mud, not the unit.

[A]

See, kf.

[B]

What do I think the punishment should be? Oh, yeah, sorry. Yeah. I think the Navy should get involved the same way they did with map. If you're going to do that to Matt Bissonnet, the. The Navy should go back and say, hold up. We only check the book for capabilities and, you know, and secrets being told. Now that we know you were lying, you should. You need to give all the money back and all the proceeds back from the book, and they should probably change his discharge to something else. Let's just say that that's what I think they should. And they should strip him of his trident. I don't think it's okay to lie as a seal. I'm pretty sure if you lied as a seal, you'd get your trident stripped.

[A]

Yeah, well, lie as a SEAL about being a seal, you know, and things that you did as a seal. Yeah, you shouldn't lie. Anyway.

[B]

I don't believe he represents the ethos of the seals. And if you don't represent them, then they should take action to show everyone that you're not a part of them anymore. There you go. That to follow up the answer.

[A]

100Kf breaching says rocking the hats, boys. How much super chat moolah for pirate shots live.

[C]

You remember that, don't you?

[B]

Oh, my gosh. I gotta remember this. A pirate shot shot is. It's a. It's a. It's a tequila shot, right?

[C]

It's a thing. So we. We have this. This little skinny guy named Joe Perry. You probably met him. Remember Indiana?

[B]

Indiana, that's right. Yeah. I'm trying Indiana.

[C]

So the pirate shot is you have to have salt, you have to have lime, you have to have the world's worst tequila. So if it costs more than a dollar, it's probably not good. So the idea is basically, you have to basically snort a line of salt, take the shot, and then you have to take the lime, squirt it in your eye, and then you go, ah. Hence the pirate shot.

[B]

We.

[C]

I think you may. May have done that. I wouldn't incriminate, but we did that in Indiana. I'm pretty sure I have some pictures.

[B]

Of you just kind of looking. Yeah, that's right. I tried to forget it, but. Yeah, thanks, thanks. Thanks for reminding.

[C]

It wasn't Afghanistan that gave Brent ptsd. It was the pirate shop.

[A]

We've got. Oh, and he also says Harvester of Sorrows for the Guat. Some people call it Gwat Jam Outro. Drew Motorica. All right, so Harvester of Sorrows for the G Watt Jam Outro.

[B]

That's. That's a good song.

[A]

20 bucks. 27d4 says John McPhee. Added again. Now he says he had to carry a targeting laser in Tora Bora, but didn't know where. What end was for targeting. Where was the 50 cal? Doesn't know what mortar or lasers do.

[C]

Grifter.

[B]

Grifter. Yep. No, he's not.

[A]

Marcos Villa says Kid Rock is a PDF. He's a. Of a A computer file.

[C]

He's doing a computer file.

[B]

Why. Why would you say that? Enough. Someone else said that to me too. What? Before, when you say that, like you. You have to bring evidence. And I may. Hey, I don't. I don't keep track of everything, but if that's true, someone. Someone better let us know.

[C]

All I know I heard is there was a song, there was some lyrics, and I'm sure the listeners will correct me, but it's something along the lines of it's. It's better when they're younger or something. Some old lyrics that he had and that's where that came out. Now, I don't know the lyrics. I'm not a massive fan, but I've seen it somewhere too.

[A]

Yeah, well, what does it mean?

[C]

He's a. Yeah, he was saying something about, you know, don't tell mom and dad, it's better when they're younger or whatever. I don't know, but I think that's the context again. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[A]

Well, I'll tell you when. When you're 18 and 19 years old. I mean, we're almost all pedophiles at that point, so don't nobody take that the wrong way. You know what I'm saying? When you're 18 year old. Dude, who are you gonna date anyway? Bad bunny sits down to pee. Brent. That's what Patrick says.

[B]

Yes, he does.

[A]

So lay back in again. Do SEALs have a bad rep among us? Special Ops, SAS guy told me they treat Rangers like shite, though training wise they are equal and carry themselves like they are the best.

[B]

Seals do not have a bad rep among special operations. If you ever see us going back and forth, it's just. It's just normal, you know, guy stuff like, you know, just back and forth, giving them a hard time. We have no issue with seals. I've said it many times. Thank you for giving opportunity to say it again. And this is again like painting a. A broad brush. What's that, what's his name? The black guy? Ranger Sniper.

[C]

You're talking about David Gogin.

[B]

No, no, not go.

[C]

Talking about the Reaper.

[B]

The Reaper.

[A]

Reaper.

[B]

So the Reapers told a story a couple times of the Rangers being really bad. I'm sorry, this, that thing. I don't know if I said right. Say it again. Of Seal Team 6 specifically being really bad to the Rangers. And, and those, and those stories are, are true. However, that particular squadron at that particular time had that culture, so to say it's every squadron. And it has been then and it still is now is just an absolute, you know, overreach. So it's not true. The Seal Team 6 treats the Rangers great and, and the Seals have a, have a great reputation within the community because they earned it.

[A]

Let's see, let's see.

[C]

Nick Irving.

[B]

Thank you. Nick Irving. Thank you.

[A]

Chat jumped on me. That's all right, here we go. Solely back in again. The SAS shared a space with them. The seals. Seals put second to none above their door as if to provoke. So SAS put none above their door in response.

[B]

I kind of believe that happened. Happened. Something tells me again, that probably goes back to just, just, just the normal jabbing that, that you do. And I don't know what it is about the SAS guys and just maybe kind of like British humor in general. They're hilarious and they're, their humor is right up my alley. And so that story that I don't know is true or not, but just dealing with those guys and that being the response, I 100% believe that to be true. And that's hilarious. Yeah.

[A]

Marco Svila says, let's talk about Trump in the E files.

[B]

Sure, let's do that. I have, I have been. I almost turned this live into an Epstein file thing, but I didn't want to do that to you. When I say that the second half of the show, we're going to talk about tactics, talk about, and talk about other things. It'll be a lot. So there are 3 million files that, that, that have, have been dumped. And let me, let me show you what it really proved. And it's weird, right, because if you talk to the left, the left will say, aha, the Epstein files have come out and it proves that Trump is, is a bad guy and a PDF. And then if he, he listened to Trump, Trump will go, look, we released it all and it proves I had nothing to do with it. So I'll, I can only tell you from what I did. You can go, you can go to the Epstein, the, the Gov page. Epstein files. It's just Google that. You'll see the official Gov. When you go there. It'll have all the files. There's video files, there's photos, there's emails. It's. It's a massive thing. I now know I'm not, I'm not giving anyone an excuse, but I'm telling you now, I now know maybe why it took so long. When you go through these files, including videos, including pictures, every single one has a redaction, which means as I'm going through all these, somebody Even a team of people. How long do you think it goes through to go through 3 million files and ensure that no one's name that was a victim is leaked in these files?

[C]

Yeah, it's amazing.

[B]

It's gonna take a hot minute, right? So after seeing that, like, I think I know why it took so long. So let me tell you, if Trump was involved, I didn't see anything. And you can hit Ctrl F and you can look for. For names all you want. I saw some really funny things. For the most part, it's really boring looking at those files, but you can, you can, you can do some searches and, and help out your cause. I didn't find anything directly about. About Trump. If anyone else did. There's a reason why I'm not doing this as a podcast. I'm not done with my research yet, but I can tell you where I'm at when you do that. Let me tell you what you will find when you search Trump and what I've found so far. Epstein was not a fan of Trump. And of course, if you know the story, it makes complete sense. He got kicked out of Mar A Lago, and the manager of Mar A Lago sent it all the way up to Trump and said, hey, this guy's acting like a jerk. I'm letting you know I'm going to kick him out. And Trump was like, yeah, kick him out. He's a creep. So he was no fan of Trump. So let me tell you, if this guy could have, he would have released it and made Trump look bad when he was in jail. Never did. When the Democrats owned the Epstein files while Biden was in office. People seem to forget. That's been like seven years. And Biden had the files for almost all four years. If Biden had something on Trump, you don't think they immediately search for Trump's name in there.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

And never release something about Trump. So something tells me I haven't found it. They have never released anything. I don't think you. I don't think there's anything there.

[A]

And I don't know how long ago it was. But earlier on, Trump is the one who said, hey, you need to look into the woman. I don't remember her name.

[B]

Gizzling Maxwell.

[A]

Yeah, I mean, he pointed her out and said, hey, y' all need to look into this woman.

[B]

You want to know why would he.

[A]

Do that if he's attached?

[B]

Right. You want to know a really funny story?

[A]

Always.

[B]

That's. That's in there.

[A]

It's Thursday night.

[B]

Oh, the Left. That's. They're always. Everyone wants to want so bad for. For. You know, for. And let me tell you, if there's someone in the right and. And they. I have no problem. I could care less about left or right in the day. Right and wrong is what I care about. So Bill Gates, you know Bill Gates is in the Epstein files.

[C]

Oh, yeah.

[B]

Yep. Did you hear the story?

[C]

Yep.

[B]

Bill Gates was asking essentially or to. Was. It's. Basically, it's. And to. To be completely fair, it's in a draft file email that he was going to send back to. Back to Bill Gates. It was Epstein, but it was never sent. But because it was in a draft file and he was going to send it back to him, we know what. What the. What the context is. But anyway, during a conversation or something, Bill Gates apparently had contracted a. An std. When partying with Epstein brings it back to his wife. His wife now has it. Wife doesn't know she has it. Bill know he has it. And so he's asking about a. Anti. Bacteria or an anti. Like what's. What I'm looking for the medicine.

[C]

Antibiotic.

[B]

Antibiotic. Thank you. An antibiotic that he can sneak into her drink and food to treat her so he never has to tell her and can take care of the STD.

[C]

That he gave his wife how Covid was born.

[B]

Wow.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

So she divorced him.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah.

[C]

And.

[B]

And she's. She's actually pretty talkative about, you know.

[C]

The lesson there, Brent, is learn how to eject your floppy disc. That's all I'm saying.

[B]

Don't insert your floppy disc.

[A]

That is some dirty computer talk into.

[B]

Computers that aren't yours.

[C]

There's that, too.

[B]

Don't insert your hard drive or your floppy disk and computers that aren't yours. All right.

[A]

All right. Our boy, David Hookstad.

[B]

David.

[A]

Yeah, he's got a good one. He says American athletes who hate trash the USA should take the uniform off and go home. We can disagree at home, but on the international stage, it's a unified front. Also. Time to watch Miracle for the boys who won gold. Yes.

[B]

Don't make me cry. I can't. I don't want to cry. Every time I know how it ends. Every time I get it. Wells me up. That's a really good point. Like, bear with me for a second. Is it not safe to assume when you. Before you go to the Olympics and even when you're at the Olympics, guess what? You know, when that's. You are representing this country, you're representing it. You're saying, I'm a representative of this country. So for you to say that, get all the benefits of that and then go, but I don't really represent the whole country.

[C]

Yeah, it's gutless.

[B]

Well then don't wear the whole uniform then. Don't put the whole flag on.

[C]

And don't enjoy all the fringe benefits.

[B]

And don't enjoy all the benefits. So how dare you represent the country. I don't think you know what represent the country means then. Yeah, you know what I mean? That would be like, that would be like one of our sales guy Drew going, hey, I'm a sales rep for frcc, but I don't represent all the products anyway. That's a great point. It's a great point, David.

[A]

Let's see, we got solely says Drew. What's your favorite prayer and Bible verse? How have they helped you? Well, I don't really have a favorite prayer because I don't, I don't like repeat, memorize prayers. I just talk to God like he's my father. But I do find myself often times saying, not my will, but your will be done. And that helps me put my life in perspective. Cuz it's not about me, it's about his glory. And then my favorite Bible verse that gets me going all the time is Isaiah 40, verse 31 says, but those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up their wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. And how has that helped me? By exactly what it's saying. Yeah, don't give up. You know, just wait on the Lord and you won't regret it.

[B]

The, it's, it's that that verse is like, it's like a hype verse to me.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Like if you say it like in a particular way. Yeah, it's like a heist.

[A]

Oh, it'll get you going.

[B]

Oh, it'll get you going.

[C]

If we could have got Metallica to sing that verse.

[A]

All right, but those Wait upon the Lord. Okay, wait a minute.

[C]

I hear Brent is quite the singer too, man.

[A]

Oh yeah, he's. He's a good singer and he's a really good screamer.

[B]

Uncertain things.

[A]

He's got a good growling screams.

[C]

Don't worry. Don't worry. YouTube, I've got that private video. It's coming.

[A]

We should, we should have like a special once a year live of Brent doing Rock band.

[B]

The It's. I went up on stage with a band not, not too long ago. It's. It's on our Patreon. Speaking of Patreon, gotta tread lightly here. Not getting. Not getting the show canceled again mid show. But also want to say about Patreon is this. Which. Because I'm proud of it, it's pretty cool. It's 10 or 15 bucks, depending on whatever level you want. And for only 10 bucks a month, if you just want to go to the very minimum. There's something on our wall that we're giving away for free. Just giving it away. And you don't have to. I hate it when people do giveaways. Like, okay, tag two people. Follow me. Join the Patreon. Stand on your head for 20 minutes and clap three times. Like, it's. That's. It's crazy. There's literally nothing else you have to do. Join the Patreon. Cancel it next month. I don't care. Here's another thing we're not doing. We're not waiting six months to give it away. The very first live, first Thursday of next month, we're just picking a random name from our Patreon, and you just. You just get it. It's that easy.

[A]

Just make sure you can have it.

[B]

Yeah, I know what's crazy. When I announced that on Patreon, it showed. It's. It's crazy the amount of Patreon members we have that aren't in the U.S. like, oh, I'd love to win it, but I'm in New Zealand. I'm in Australia. I'm in the uk. I'm here, I'm there. I'm like, that's. That's crazy. Like, I forget because I see their names, I know who they are, but I don't know, you know, where they're from until they say that. I was like, oh, man, I don't even know.

[C]

Maybe you can send them like a 3D printed version. Just trying to look out for you there.

[B]

I. Now I have to give a caveat. Yes, there is no like, like, like cash equivalent value or anything else. If you can't get the gun, we have to go to someone else. So. Which was even crazier. Our Patreon's not that big. And if you really think about the people on Patreon that are eligible to win is even smaller. Yeah, you got a good chance. And just the way it is, we're not stripping it down.

[C]

So it's like a raffle. Go on and make like 19 Patreon accounts. Sign up for 10 bucks.

[B]

You could.

[C]

That's one hell of a raffle right there. 190 bucks for.

[B]

I know. And I already got, I'm gonna do a couple of these. I already got the next one lined up, which is one of those things, but it's a handheld version of it. I know I can't say it because of YouTube, and I'm gonna tell you right now, I, I haven't pulled the trigger on it, but I think I'm going to do it. So I may regret announcing this. I've had my eye on some Alibaba $7,000 Panos, and I thought about doing, like, an unboxing of it and a video and you know, of YouTube, like, hey, Delta Force reviews, Alibaba seven thousand dollar Chinese panos. How good are they? I think it'll be a good video. It'll. So it'll, it'll, it's not a something we normally do. It won't be like a Monday release. Like normal things just be ext. And then I think I'm going to give them away on the Patreon.

[C]

That'd be cool.

[B]

Yeah. So anyway, we got some, we got some fun things. Fun things lined up. Anything else, Drew, or can. We've been doing questions for a while. Can we stop for just a second?

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Because before we go to the break, I know it's almost break time. There's something. So basically there is a, a theme here. Okay. And just, I, I, I'm not, I'm not putting you on the spot. Although it feels and looks and seems if I'm putting you on the spot. Yeah, but I think, I think you can do this. I want you to answer the question because I don't want to think people say, like, I'm, I'm, I'm leading this. So Bad Bunny, do you think he leans left or right?

[C]

Oh, without question. Left.

[B]

Okay. You think Bad Bunny leans left?

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Okay. Protesters of ice, which way do you think they lean?

[C]

I left.

[B]

Have they told you that?

[C]

No, but just the states in which they protest the most. And if you look logically, there's that thing. That's where it comes up.

[B]

All right. Just, just, just, just asking. All of the leering center, fraud, left or right?

[C]

I'm gonna say we're gonna stay over here on this side.

[B]

Okay. The Olympic athletes that are not so proud of their country, left to right.

[C]

Based off of the vernacular, I'm going to say they also are left.

[B]

I can do this all day. Okay. I can do this all day. This is where I'm heading with this. You're getting ready to pull up the, the last video you Know what you're talking about is you can tell a lot about an organization by the people who are connected to you. I don't think that's. That's a stretch. Let's. Let's look and see who the left is.

[A]

It.

[B]

They're so peaceful.

[A]

You headed Donald Trump?

[B]

Are you calling for his death? I am, yes. I. I believe it's time that the people straight cut his head off.

[C]

Somebody's got a metal song to. No, no, no.

[A]

Tell me you didn't have a father without showing me you didn't have a father. These are like children. This is how 2 year olds with no discipline act. And they never grew out of it.

[C]

It's got a lot of emotional intelligence right here.

[A]

These are kids. The. These people when they were children, they rolled on the floor and screamed and their parents did nothing. You know, they become the grocery store.

[C]

These are the ones Drew that nobody ever did anything.

[A]

That's right.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

These are the ones whose parents count to 10.

[B]

Drug dealer.

[C]

This. This might get me in a lot of trouble, but you know, it might not.

[B]

So here we go.

[C]

Blow their heads off.

[B]

Whoa.

[A]

Have been very clearly anti American.

[B]

How do.

[A]

How do you feel that he's appointed the first openly gay man in his cabinet and he actually appointed him again in this administration?

[B]

Huh?

[A]

Speaking of anti American. Do you want to get shot? Ignorant piece of. Is your true self being a little. Who's shorter and feels insecure about how they are?

[B]

He was a racist because he was a misogynist. And that means that you are too because you support him. Get out. Get out of here.

[A]

When people can't prove their points. That's it. Got nothing else.

[B]

Kill the son of a bitch. Kill who? This 47th president. Hey, Nazis, can you set up somewhere.

[A]

Where I can avoid you easily?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Thank you.

[A]

Have a great day.

[B]

No, you Nazi.

[A]

Watch your neck. It's hard to avoid her.

[B]

Watch your neck.

[A]

Watch your neck.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

What are you guys arguing about with.

[B]

The police officers right now, Bro? If the cops are beat your ass.

[A]

Wow. Today we need to bring back public whippings in America.

[B]

Violence against the red hats every day. Wow. That was longer than I. Than I actually thought. I didn't watch the whole thing. And it's still going like this is crazy. It's that long. And let me tell you, that is dropping the bucket.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

We need to make whipping posts great again.

[B]

Oh.

[A]

There used to be a whipping post in every city in America before we had big prisons.

[C]

Yeah. It was called Daddy's belt.

[A]

Well, yeah.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

And when you were too old for daddy to do it.

[B]

The.

[A]

The government did it to you, not the.

[B]

This will get clipped wrong. I don't care anymore. This is why I'm not really that anti bully. I know that doesn't sound right, but let me tell you, these people act that way because they're weird and they never got bullied. And again, that's not. That's. That's a. That's a half joke. But I'm. I'm also saying, like, that's. There's some truth to that, too.

[C]

You get punched in the mouth a couple times, it kind of changes your direction.

[A]

I disagree. I disagree. Did you see the size of some of those women? They were the bullies.

[B]

Sometimes you got to bully the bully. Absolutely. All right, Drew, let's take it to the break.

[C]

Let's do it.

[B]

And we'll be back. We are more than makers of steel.

[C]

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

[B]

And we stand shoulder to shoulder with.

[C]

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

[B]

If you've ever been to any of my tactical training classes, then you know how adamant I am about the use of white light and the importance of a quality high powered tactical light. That's why I use cloud defensive tac lights. You can't hit what you can't see, and neither can the bad guys. Clearly identify your target and simultaneously overwhelm his vision with hundreds of and even thousands of lumens. Get serious about defending yourself and your family. Go to clouddefensive.com and use promo code tier one to get 30% off your order. That's right. 30%. You won't find a better light than this, and you won't find a better deal than this. Revenge is an act of passion. Vengeance is. Is an act of justice. Injuries are revenged. Crimes are avenged. Almost a century ago, big pharmaceutical companies re engineered medical school curriculum and faculty with one goal. Putting profit before progress. Anyone pushing back against the medical matrix they carefully crafted was threatened, silenced, censored, financially ruined, or worse. They are the problem. We are the solution.

[A]

You're clear to engage.

[B]

Initials Mike G. Alpha. You're clear to engage with weapons. You're clear to engage with weapons.

[A]

All right, guys, we're getting back in here from the break. Guys, shout out to FRCC shop, please. Everybody drinks coffee. A lot of you guys drink, smoke cigars. Please get yourself a drop supply.

[A]

We're all about the people. We love the people.

[B]

We're men of the people. And may I introduce to you, love our people.

[A]

[B]

We delivered the tier one piss bottle.

[A]

Tier one piss bottle.

[B]

It's here. Now, I'm not gonna sell you the piss bottle that I've may or may not have pissed excellence in, but what I will sell to you is the sticker that you can put on any.

[A]

Bottle, any size piss bottle you want, any color, any size. Customized.

[B]

Yep. And those just came in before the live. I just created the one and only customized Tier 1 piss bottle, but those stickers just came in before the show, and I will have them up on the FRCC website within minutes of. Of the show being done, in fact. Or just go back tomorrow. The Tier 1 stickers will be on the website, and you can make your own piss bottles.

[C]

That's it.

[A]

Or you can stick them on your truck.

[B]

Oh, that. Okay, I didn't even think about that.

[A]

Or you could stick them on your truck if you. Yeah, if you want to stick them.

[B]

On your truck, I guess you could do that. I guess you can stick them anywhere, really.

[A]

Yeah. You know what?

[B]

Yeah, you could. Well, all right.

[A]

It's a versatile.

[B]

It's versatile piss bottle.

[A]

It's a versatile piss bottle sticker.

[B]

I. I bid $40. Our listeners are the best.

[A]

May or may not come with the golden juice.

[B]

It's the golden juice. All right. Now I gotta. Now I gotta be honest.

[C]

It's.

[B]

It's just MC Ultra. Wait, was it.

[A]

Oh, shame.

[C]

Tasted like monster.

[B]

That was. It was. You only get those type of jokes in the live. Yeah. All right, Drew, let's. There's something cool I want to do, actually. Just a little bit of. Because here in a little bit, we're going to. If you're here for tactics, don't worry. We're gonna talk tactics. I. I want to almost talk about the last. I'm afraid once we start talking about it, we won't stop. So we're.

[A]

We're.

[B]

We're about to. We're gonna go to Super Chats. When we get back from super Chats, here's something really cool. A listener wrote an email and said, hey, just want to let you know. Wrote a song, and. And the last verse was inspired by your story. So we're. We're gonna listen to that song, and that's not a joke. I know. I know. Sometimes it's. It's hard to. I. I tell my jokes with a straight face. This is. It's actually a great song, so. And I actually want to do this because we can. We can complain about Bad Bunny all you want, but guess what? I'm not just a person to complain about what's wrong. I'm gonna give you an option about what's right. Let's go to super Chats for a little bit, and then. And we'll. We'll go to that.

[A]

All right, we got. Jared says, can you please explain what you know about fog?

[B]

I know it's a little against the grain, but your high beams actually reflect back.

[A]

It's like low clouds. Right.

[B]

Right. And you can't see.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

Better with high beams. It's actually your low beams is. Is your best bet.

[A]

That's how I understand it.

[B]

That's how I understand it.

[A]

Is fog something different?

[B]

Odd question, but I don't care. We're here to solve all your problems. We're here to solve all your problems. Yeah.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

He may be talking about Ford Observation Group, but I assume fog was the issue.

[A]

Okay.

[B]

I don't know much about fog. I. I don't know anything bad about them, which is why. And I've talked to some guys from there. I should actually say I don't know anything about them. I've talked to them, and I'll be doing a training event with them more than likely at some point this year. I hope so. They. It seems like they make good content. I know they have a guy from the unit, which I. Not real good friends with him, but I know who he was. Yeah, he was. He was coming as I was going, and so I'm. I'm interested. I'm looking forward to going out there and making some content with them.

[C]

I only know him from the online thing, but always solid cats. Always good dudes. You know, they. They. We talk preaching. We've done some of that. They've talked with some of our K Factor boys, and, yeah, they're good dudes, man. They make some unique content.

[A]

All right, Kenny, Says, happy Valentine's Day, boys. Drew or whoever wants to touch on this, what do you do when you're struggling with your faith, when things are hard? P.S. rob looks like a great value. Ronald McDonald. I love that.

[B]

Shane.

[A]

You know, Shane is a man of the faith. He's.

[C]

He's.

[A]

He's a brother in Christ. Shane, I'll let you take this, brother. What do you do when you're struggling with your faith, when things are hard?

[C]

Man, that's a great question. But I think there's an old song that says, you know, the anchor holds. And if you understand how an works.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

And if you understand how an anchor works, how it digs into the ground, it digs into that soft sediment area, kind of keeps you there. So I think one of the things you have to do is always look to the old landmarks you have to look at, to the times that you didn't think you were going to get through, but you did. And it's in the next phase of your life that ultimately that's why you went through that, because each one of those are building blocks. And there's a scripture that says, line upon line, precept upon precept. Here a little, there a little. And that's kind of how your faith works. You know, sometimes, man, you're on the line, sometimes you're not. And that's where you go back to where the anchor holds. You look to the points that you never thought you would get. Get over, and you keep. And then the last thing I would say, man, me and Brent talked about this earlier. Show me your friends. I'll show you your future. And you put people in your life that are a positive influence, that are not negative, and that right there sometimes is what you need. You get through it sometimes just based off your company.

[B]

I'll go one step further. Show me your podcast, and I'll show you who you are.

[A]

Oh, man. True words never.

[C]

113.

[A]

I think that might be second bread. All right, let's see. Solely back in says, how do you feel about Sean Ryan editing Rob's interview title, saying disputed claims and link stumps?

[B]

Interview and description magnet. I know you're a big fan of. Of all podcasts, even some questionable ones. Did you. Did you see that? Did you see that Sean Ryan had done that? I didn't see that one.

[A]

That's a good one. I gotta see that.

[B]

Drew after, if you can. I know it'll be some. It'll be. Won't be easy for you. Maybe the. The music video. We're about to watch, like, three minutes long.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

See if you can go to the Sean Ryan podcast channel on YouTube and bring up the Rob O' Neill thumbnail. So what he put right on the thumbnail is this. You know, this. Claims from this episode have been disputed. I'm really close. Something like that.

[A]

But I'll look it up after the music.

[B]

But they're. They're big letters of. Right on, right. Right on the thumbnail.

[C]

Interesting. Okay.

[B]

And I love it. You asked me what I think about it. I love it. Thank you, Sean. Sean is. He's a good guy. Like, he didn't have to do that, but something tells me he didn't do it just because the Andy Stumpf episode. Sean. Sean knows a few people. He has some connections. There's. It's not just Andy. Now. The. Andy gave him the COVID if you will, to. To do that. Because if you can imagine, if you think about it, if it wasn't for Andy, Sean made a few phone calls after the Matt Bisson at thumb. He. He. He knows what's going on. He's not blind to it. It wasn't hard for Sean to pick up the phone and be like, hey, I'm hearing this, I'm hearing that. What's the truth? He's known. But if he'd have just put that on there without any reason to do it, it'll. It'll raise all sorts of questions. But thanks to the Andy Stump podcast, he's like, oh, I can do it. And this is. And this is why.

[C]

And Andy crushed it. Oh, he did, man. I. I've talked to Andy one time. That's all I know of Andy.

[B]

So I need to.

[C]

He was an absolute professional, stayed the course, didn't get deviated. And my God, did that dude get interrupted going back and forth? I mean, it was just like.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

And he was so cool, man. He was probably the perfect person to bring that out.

[B]

Oh, he was. He was.

[A]

Kenny says. Also, have you listened to Andy's episode with Mike Glover? Are you guys familiar with his situation?

[B]

I. I've. I've watched snippets of it. I haven't been on. I haven't had a chance. Usually I watch those when I'm on the road, you know, or, you know, I'm on a flight. So I'm going to travel here in just a little bit, and I will catch up on that episode. But I've only seen the clip of it, but one of my favorite parts of that. And again, it doesn't give me the. The Whole context of it, but the beginning of it. Only Andy can get away with this. I couldn't imagine, like, me doing this and. But he looks at Mike Levy, goes, I got to paraphrase a little because you were doing so well. You had so much. How did you F it all up? Full send, just. And then my clever goes, man, I really like this. HE LAUGHS he's like, yeah. I mean, it was. It was a rough ride, man, I really like this studio. Like, who designed it?

[C]

Like, this is a really good studio.

[B]

I know. I don't know. I.

[A]

Not a smooth transition.

[B]

Not it. I know Mike Glover is trying his best to try to get back into the. Into the good graces. And I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be like, you know, listen to him. You can decide for yourself. Yes, he's. He's had a hard. A rough ride of it. I'm not sure the first one was his fault. Sometimes when there's two in a row, it's, It's. It's a. It's a bigger problem. But then, you know, I would say this, what are you going to do? You. Are you going to outcast him for the rest of his life? As far as I know, Mike Glover hasn't had these issues before that. And I'm going to guess he's somewhere in his 40s. In his 40s? Yes. He has two mistakes, but two mistakes really close together. And if he doesn't have a problem after that, his whole military career and those, you'd be like, all right, you're done, you're out. Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I. I have a hard time, you know, going full send on. On that. What, What. What do you think, man?

[C]

I have a little bit of inside information, which I'll refrain from just because of the other director, good friend of ours, Greg. So Greg was in that whole situation, and so I know the perspective a little bit from him and. And there's definitely some stuff that was done that was maybe out of cuff, out of turn from the law enforcement side again. I'm not going to cast stones on them. They get enough rocks thrown at them, but it goes back and forth. I think it's. It's a really tough situation. The only thing I can say is I've met Mike, you know, I know Mike through proxy, and. And I do wish Mike gets his life and everything squared away. He's. He's done a lot for our country, and I would hate to see that be his legacy.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, he, he served it as a high level Green Beret. I mean, he was, he was a support guy at the Delta Force. Like, oh, he's a support guy. He was at the Delta Force and he supported the, you know, missions going around. It's, I do hate it when people are like, oh, was he an operator or support guy? Oh, he was just a support guy. How do you think, how do, how do you think we, we get things done? Yeah, that's always. I'm just gonna, just gonna be honest with you for a second. And it's one of those things where, like, it, it's like pick, pick one side, Brent. And I know I'm not someone who loves consistency. I'm a little inconsistent about this. If someone tells me, hey, you know, the support guys are just, are just as important of the operators. In fact, they may be more important because one's for the support guys. Operators can and do what they, they want to do. I'd be like, absolutely not. Like, it's. The operators are the, are, are the rock stars of the building. They're, they're, they're the main objective. Like it's, it's all about the operators. And if someone were telling me, hey, you know, it's operators, they're like, they need to be put up on a pedestal. Like, they're amazing. There's. I'd be like, well, kind of they're nothing without the support guys, though.

[C]

A.

[B]

Depending on what side of the argument, I want to argue the other side. You know, I hate it.

[C]

It goes back to what we talked about earlier though, right? Because it's really. At what time is that person I told the Clint Brew story, you know, and, and, and essentially all that is, is, you know, when you're walking up to an objective, who's the most important person there? Well, it could be perimeter. Once I need to get in, who becomes the most important person there? Well, it's the breacher, right. Once I get in and I need the HVT or whatever grabbed, there you go, Rockstar.

[B]

Right?

[C]

But then you got to get an aircraft to get your ass back home. So now who becomes the most important where? SSE or whatever. So I think timing and purpose have.

[B]

To come together, but I'll, but I do want to make this distinction because, because it matters at the end of the day whether people want to hear it or not. The assaulters deserve the lion's share of the credit, whether they want to take credit for it or not. And I will, and I will tell you what, because at the End of the day, they took the most risk. They're the ones that if something goes wrong and someone dies, they're the ones fighting it out with the enemy. They're the ones with that have, have gambled the most, risked the most and, and, and walked away. And some of them didn't. And so it's kind of like the man in the arena, you know, type thing.

[C]

That's fair.

[B]

So they, they absolutely, at the end of the day should and deserve the, the most credit. They don't deserve all the credit.

[A]

Right.

[B]

You want to know who's watching? Oh yeah. Send it Xavier is he. Him and his wife are watching the live. Say hey, look forward to being on the show.

[C]

My dark skinned brother from another mother right there.

[B]

Xavier Landoff is, is coming on the show. Oh man. The 23rd. I will. I will. Well, it won't matter because that doesn't. Oh well that's not true because it does matter because we're gonna do a live when. When he comes here. So we're gonna do a recording and so I can't exactly tell you when. When that one's gonna get record the 26th. So he's gonna come in. We're gonna do a live next week with Gilbert Rios, Green Beret. The next Thursday we're gonna do another recording. We're gonna do a recording with Xavier Tier 1. A Green Beret. Tier 1. He was on my team for a little bit. Great dude. And then we're gonna do a live with him as well.

[C]

That's awesome, man. I'm stoked.

[B]

Thanks for watching X. Yeah, appreciate you Eggs. Love it. All right, couple more super chats. All right.

[A]

Mr. Polite says Brent, two good guests you should look into. Our Blake Flannery, a Marine Scout sniper and force Recon member and my friend Justin Kramer, a Marine JTAC and podcaster. I can send their pages over if that helps.

[B]

So their pages over to the tier the tier one. Podcastmail.com the number one. So the tier number one podcast. Gmail.com please.

[A]

Soli back in says which units have highest pass rate on delta selection. Does having highest pass rate prove their best among regular special forces?

[B]

That's a really good question actually. That actually goes that, that that varies some. You know. So there's. There's no real one particular one that that does. That there is for. For moments of time but it doesn't hold true.

[C]

So I have a question on that one as a follow up. So I've always heard that if you broke down the careers prior to going into Delta Force, that it was the ranger regiment that has the highest success rate or the highest, I should say, amounts of former rangers. Do you know if there's any truth to that?

[B]

No, there was a ton. There was. They. They are not the lion share of the unit.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

And. And there may have. And there. There's a lot of times that things are. Are grounded in some sort of truth. So maybe before my time that that was true. So I couldn't speak about that. But I can tell you for the. The decade hours there at a pretty good sample size of that time. And I can tell you that's. It's just not the truth. Cool green brace.

[C]

Damn.

[B]

What? Who said. Who said that?

[C]

I think it was Tyler.

[B]

Max.

[C]

Max.

[B]

No, that was just passing gas. What you do to my dog?

[C]

Hey, I'm still in. Brent's brother and his dog.

[A]

Tonight.

[C]

You got fully invaded, bro.

[A]

And we both will willingly go. Long as you feed us. All right, holy folks, as Brent, what is your dream vacation anywhere in the world? Where would it be, Drew? I'm guessing it's the island of cowie.

[B]

That's a good question.

[A]

Damn.

[B]

That's a good question. All right.

[A]

Mine's Colorado Ski Mountain. That's all I wear. That's the only place I want to be.

[B]

Yeah, that's it.

[A]

Colorado Ski mountain have something to do.

[B]

With some old family vacation memories?

[A]

Absolutely. And just skiing. I love it. Love the mountains. Love the snow because I'm from Florida, so I love it.

[B]

I'm. I'm hesitating because I gotta figure this out. Well, Shane, what do you got? Dream vacation, man.

[C]

I'm a mountains guy.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

It's got to be probably Switzerland or something like that. Oh, I think it'd be cool. Oh, yeah. Switzerland. When it's not just really crappy out. Just.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

I go see the area or.

[B]

Are you fancy?

[C]

Huh? Or New Zealand.

[B]

Okay. Oh, New Zealand would be cool.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Would be cool.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Magnet. You're. You're a world traveler, so there's probably not a lot of places you haven't been. What would be your dream vacation?

[A]

Sweden.

[B]

Right off the bat, you know it. Sweden. Yeah.

[A]

Because there's a guy there that cuts beards really good, and I want to go get my beard cut for. I am.

[B]

I can't. We're going together, Tyler.

[A]

I'd probably say Japan.

[B]

Oh, really? Okay. Japan.

[C]

Sushi.

[A]

Absolutely no.

[B]

More the history there.

[C]

Okay.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I just know if he was, like, into itchy buttholes or. Whoa.

[B]

Sushi.

[C]

It's a thing.

[B]

Detox gosh Now I'm good.

[A]

Is your butt itching?

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

I had me some sushi yesterday.

[C]

It's on him Instagram.

[A]

I didn't know that was a thing.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Welcome to the Live, everybody. Welcome to the Live. Walk it up for us.

[A]

Good Lord.

[B]

All right, you know what? Here's what I'm going to do. I'm. I'm. I'm going to do something I didn't really think I would say. I've been to Colorado, so I'm not going to go. I'm not going to go back there. We're making the guys trip. I'm going with you guys to Switzerland. I remember skiing growing up, and so I'd kind of like to. That. That connection is still there with me, like, going somewhere skiing. And now I want to go to the Swiss Alps and ski.

[A]

Y' all can. Y' all can go there.

[B]

Then we'll go to Sweden.

[A]

Y' all can go without me because I am not leaving the United States of America. I'm not.

[B]

I know. Because I hate that my answer was to go outside the United States.

[A]

Not going to do it.

[B]

But all right. I was about to say, speaking of watch. This is so random. But. But I got to say it. Me and Devin are so in the same sheet of music with so many things. This is one thing that we. We split on. I'm a watch guy. I love watches. I don't buy them. They're expensive. I ain't got that kind of money. But I have a. I have a dream watch. It's kind of a new dream watch. I know it's probably the old man thing, and it has to do with Rolex and special forces having kind of a history together. But I just found out they make custom. It's like aftermarket custom, all blacked out. Rolex watches. And I'm a fan.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I'm a fan.

[C]

What are those running?

[B]

15 to 20 grand. So I'll never own one. I will never, never own one. But they basically take all the components, turn it all black, put it all back together. So it is a Rolex, but it's not. Not from Rolex. Does that make sense? Yeah.

[C]

What I'm saying is this a moment to really push the Patreon to see if we can get you one.

[A]

Just trying to be a bro.

[B]

That one may be outside of. Of Patreon Powers place in Miami. Gosh.

[A]

Timepiece training. There's a place called Timepiece Trading in Miami.

[B]

Oh, I thought you said timepiece. And I was like, count me out.

[A]

Never Say that.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

That also is in Miami.

[B]

You know crazy. You're right. You want to talk about some first world stuff? Yeah. I don't care. If I was rich, I would still wouldn't buy a Ferrari. If I was massively rich, I still wouldn't buy a 15, $20,000 blacked out Rolex. Even though I could. I just wouldn't. My. I think my like realistic what I would between like 3 and $5,000. And still that's even crazy for me to hear myself say that out loud. I don't think I ever will in my life. But that's reasonable to me. That's so stupid. I can't believe I just said that. What's reasonable for you? For. Are you a watch guy? Do you have a dream watch? It's more of a guy thing obviously. But what do you got?

[C]

I'm a knife guy. I like knives.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

But not a watch. I'm so simple. I have a Phoenix 8 the Garmin. But the reason is is I'm so tied into this and everything I do from my workouts to my run time to everything. If I had a fancy watch, it would legit just stay in a safe somewhere maybe a few times a year. Taking my wife out. Something like that.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Drew.

[A]

Yo.

[B]

You know anything about watches? You care?

[A]

No, I don't care.

[B]

Thank you. Magnet.

[A]

A 1978 Submariner Rolex.

[B]

Yeah, I know. I wish they had cash. I know.

[A]

Well, 78 is my birthday, so that's.

[B]

Why I want it. Okay.

[A]

Maybe 10 years. When the shop has 10 years, I got four more years.

[B]

Okay. All right. You got four more years to make it happen. You got. You're going have to sell a few tier one guns to. To make that happen. Tyler. What?

[C]

You got nothing on watches.

[B]

That's fine. We say on watches as if there's something else in your wheelhouse.

[A]

Not really.

[B]

Okay. Yeah, for sure. All right. The. Let's. Let's go to. Let's go to this, this, this vid. This, this video real quick. And I'm. I'm tell you I'm. I'm going to download this. I'll be. I'll be rocking this in my truck smoking cigars around town. I'm serious.

[C]

Let's do it, man.

[A]

Give me a second here. There we go. Okay, what do we got? Tyler Merker, thank you very much for the love. Really appreciate that. Holy fook. Brent, any thoughts on the Navajo Code talkers from World War II? Ever thought of doing an episode on them? Only two still left alive.

[B]

Is there two still left alive? That's amazing. That there's two left alive. That's the coolest part about that story. That I probably smoke cigars. They probably spoke to several things.

[C]

Yeah, I was gonna say peyote, but whatever.

[B]

Yeah. I'll tell you what's. What I think is. Is kind of the coolest part of. Of that story. And it's not to take away from, you know, from. From the Indians that. That did it because that's. That's awesome. But think about it. We had a problem. Like we didn't have com sec. We didn't. We didn't know how codes were being broken. At the end of the day, like those code breakers were breaking codes. And they. Those stories are amazing. How they built the first computer to break German German codes. It's wild. But what was never broken was that and some. When I do my research, I really. On this, I want to find out whose idea was it. I'm going. I'm going to just go out on a limb here and like some American. That was like, you know what? We could use these people and what an amazing solution to a problem.

[C]

Logic.

[B]

LED logic.

[C]

Wow.

[B]

Yeah. So cool. Great, great comment at sixes.

Like that one.

[B]

That's. That's gonna ruffle some feathers of. Of a new generation because they've been told so much differently. But she's right.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

And if you're going to live pissed, let me show you. Okay. All right.

[A]

Get yourself a sticker. Get yourself a sticker.

[C]

We got to get the drum rolls in there. I need a little symbol or something so I can hear.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

What does this button do?

[B]

Drew might have a. Drew, you have it.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

You've never really brought the sound effects to. To. To our live.

[A]

No, I. I'm trying. I'm trying not to mess everything else up.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Drew, I don't need a new thing to screw up.

[B]

I know. Instead of. Instead of the drum roll thing, you'll probably do the. Just make me look like an idiot.

[A]

All right. Chad Rucks says Truth in the dark podcast and 50 for the fallen are here for Thursday night. Knights and the boys.

[B]

Absolutely.

[A]

Thank you, Chad. Rudy Botello says bottle reminds me of the scene from Dumb and Dumber.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Sipping on grannies.

[B]

Something. I don't forget exactly what he said on Grandpa's. What is it you've been sipping on? Grandpa's sauce.

[A]

Yeah. All right. Hard stack says. Do you think it's stolen valor does say you were in the military in a context that implied you were a combat vet, but you were just a cook or admin.

[B]

It's on the line. I can tell you that. It's on the line.

[A]

Of course it's stolen value. You said. Even though you were in the military and you say you did something you didn't. I don't. I mean, to me, that's easy.

[B]

Yeah. Here's. Here's the thing. It's to. To. To steal. To steal a quote from dad. All right, which is this. This is. How about. There wouldn't even be a question. You would have to ask that question or anyone. Let's not see how close to the line we can get to wrong. Let's see how far away from the line we can get from wrong. And then you'll. Then you'll never have. Then you'll never be questioned.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

That one's for you, dad.

[A]

Solely. 1, 2, 3, 4. Says rose. Rose is a rip. Violets are blue. Brent, Shane, and Drew chilling with us, too.

[B]

Wow.

[A]

Can some of you guys in the studio give funny valentine stories?

[B]

Oh, man.

[C]

I have this funny one. I wasn't there for a Lot of them.

[B]

I have a funny Valentine story. I have a funny Valentine story. Do you? Yeah. I was younger, man. I was dating this girl and brought over all the accoutrements. Yeah, I can't remember what I brought, but I'm sure it's like, roses, a bottle of wine, some chocolates. And she had said something about the Jacuzzi at her apartment complex. And so what I was gonna do was go to the Jacuzzi, kind of lay out the.

[C]

The.

[B]

The things. I show up in my. My bathing suit and, like, a tank top. We're gonna do, like, Valentine's Day at night in the hot tub. I drive all around her apartment complex. She has a pool. She has no Jacuzzi. Eventually, after the knock on the door, looking like an idiot. And swim trunks, not so Valentine's Day looking. And explain to her, here's why I look stupid. I was going to do this. And she goes, oh, no, no, no. We. We have a Jacuzzi brand. It's right by the pool. I said, I know you talking about that small circular pool right by the. You know, right by the. The big pool. She goes, yes. I said, the one that's about six inches deep. That's a kitty kiddie pool. And she's like, ah. I actually never went in it. I always saw it from the pool and assumed that was a hot tub.

[C]

Did you get in?

[B]

No, no, it was too cold.

[C]

It was.

[B]

Yeah. There's Magnet. You don't do anything for Valentine's Day, so you don't have a funny one.

[A]

It's a Hallmark holiday.

[B]

Poor Amanda. Poor man. Tyler, Drew, you got one.

[A]

Nothing funny. There's nothing funny about Valentine's Day. It's just a bunch of work for the guys.

[B]

Am I the only idiot in the room, man?

[C]

I have such.

[A]

No, the girl you were with was the idiot in the room.

[C]

I have such a cool wife, though. She is super chill like that. We could go out and legit, like, do s'. Mores. And she's like, I dig it. This morning, just to kind of get myself ready, I was like, I want to go fish for an hour. She's like, I'm breaking off. And me and her just went alone, sat outside by a lake. I fished for one hour. Didn't get a bite. It was awesome. That's how cool she is.

[B]

Where's she from? Where do they make women like this?

[C]

She's a unicorn. Yeah, I have a story with that. If we get into it later. Talk about unicorns. We call them. We call them Tanya Okay.

[B]

Yeah. All right, what else we got?

[A]

Let's see. Hard retard says. Have you heard about the SB17 bill in New Mexico?

[B]

No.

[A]

It bans semi auto firearms. Gas operated rifles, magazines above 10 rounds and more. Not looking good here. Tank that a shame. What are your thoughts?

[B]

You know what I've always found really funny about the ten round magazines. You know they can reload, right? Then they'll just carry 2010 round magazines.

[A]

We can have more than one, right?

[B]

What are we doing here? Magnet, have you heard about that? Just by chance. We haven't heard about that because we're in Florida.

[A]

Yeah, well, for the state of Florida.

[B]

The gunshine state as I like to call it.

[A]

Well, the good news is it's just a bill. Doesn't mean that's been passed, right?

[B]

So I hope it hasn't.

[A]

The. The. The libtards can put up, you know, whatever they want. Doesn't mean it's going to get passed. So hopefully it doesn't get passed.

[B]

Come on.

[A]

If it gets passed, what. What should they do? Magnet, move. There it is.

[C]

That's it.

[A]

All right. Corbin Pettigrew says got my autographed bottle of FRCC sitting at the house just now getting off. We're gonna pop that SOB Not Shrek when I get home. Also you see SRS changed Rob O. Steel's thumbnail.

[B]

Oh yes. We didn't see that. I know you get a pass. You just got home. We did. We did talk about that earlier but. Awesome. Thank you so much for. For supporting and I. And you got good bourbon. You're about. You're. And I think you know that. That's why you ordered it. All right.

[A]

Hard. It was so good. He said it twice. Okay, very Good. Watch out New Mexico 6 is mom Corvette or Rolex? Brent, which one you going for?

[B]

Oh that's. That's easy question. I will get a Corvette one day. The blacked out Rolex. I will just look at. I will not get.

[A]

I can't do it.

[B]

I can't do it. But I can justify Corvette somehow.

[A]

KF breaching. Thank you for the love. Really appreciate it. Says just here for Max. Sending a Snoop Boop for the bestest boy.

[B]

Yeah, dude, there he is.

[A]

Look at him down there. Hold on, I gotta. I gotta move this for just a second. Not much of him.

[B]

Almost. Yeah, almost. Almost. Got. He is. He is.

[C]

He is a.

[A]

Hey buddy. There he is. Now we can see you.

[C]

There we go, Max.

[A]

There you go.

[B]

What is it?

[A]

All right. I didn't really want you. All right. He says was going to double down for Harvester of Sorrows, but toss both towards battle scars for every live.

[B]

Oh man. I think about that being the outro Battle scars. Wow. We may have. It wouldn't be the first time. We may have two outro songs tonight.

[A]

And Chase Lee for two bucks says James has a new one called Stars and Stripes.

[B]

All right.

[A]

And that's.

[B]

That's awesome.

[A]

That's our super track chats for the moment. I'm gonna look for that. Sean Ryan.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Thumbnail.

[B]

All right. Yeah.

[A]

Well see if I can find.

[B]

Do you mind if we talk about explosive breaching for a little bit?

[C]

Let's do it. I've heard of it.

[B]

You've heard of it? Yeah.

[A]

It's a volatile discussion.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Confuses.

[B]

It could be. Yeah, it could be. So you've. You've been in the. Let's just like just breaching specific, if you will, industry for. For how long now?

[C]

Explosive breaching? Yeah, going on to 17 years. I've been around that.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So been doing it for a long time.

[B]

One of my biggest questions that I really wanted to ask you about that this because we. We touched on it off. Off air but we didn't really get into it, which I'm glad. 17 years. And the long range shooting. So much has changed in 17 years.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

If you really go into the tactics of cqb like deliberate has. Has come out. So even the tactics of clearing houses has changed in. In 17 years. And again when you think about this and this, it's probably hinging on 17 years optics on guns like red dots really weren't a thing 17 years ago. Everything I'm talking about of sorts were industry standards. Since Vietnam, for decades they were the same. What's changed in the breaching world, if anything?

[C]

Yeah, well, definitely a lot. I think we now incorporate science much more before, you know, gonna make some of the. The gwat guys mad. But before, everything was P for plenty. Right. You've heard that.

[B]

That doesn't make them mad. They know beaver plenty. Right.

[C]

And it's not especially in a law enforcement capacity. It's oh, here we come. So awesome. Tanya, if you're watching now, you know what I want for Christmas?

[A]

Beep, beep, beep.

[C]

Come here, Max. So man, back to that law enforcement specific community. Everything was P for plenty. There was a lot of rudimentary stuff from the early days. You know, going to fruit roll ups, duct tape, linears, things like that. That now I think that we've been able to use things. Big fancy words here. But, you know, now we get into computational fluid dynamics. That wasn't a thing. AI wasn't a thing. In the breaching community several years ago, understanding pencil probes and how pressure works and, and, you know, all of these things. You ate it because that's a part of it. Right, right. So I think it's not just so much the dynamics of the charges that have changed, it's the application.

[B]

Application, yeah.

[C]

And how we tamp them, how reduce pressure, how do we do these things? And ultimately that's been driven because of traumatic brain injury.

[B]

Yeah, absolutely. By the way, just side note, I posted that the new member of the Tier one podcast being the remote controlled cooler, which is what it is, and I asked them to name it. I think the one. The one I'm going with is the CAG Caddy.

[A]

Nice. I like that one.

[B]

There's. There's a bunch. There's a, A bunch of good ones. There's a bunch of good ones, but that's, that's brand new.

[A]

You think? Is that what they're talking about?

[B]

Yeah, that's it.

[A]

Okay. There, I put it up. Now they can see it.

[B]

All right, there it is. Disputed. Disputed claims. Oh, that. That won't look good in a lawsuit. Interesting. All right, the.

[A]

That's a fun fact.

[B]

That's a fun fact. Oh, looks like he's got more people to add to his, to his lawsuit. Because remember, it's. It's not about who killed bin Laden. And if you ask me for him to do that, that's kind of mean, isn't it? It's about. The lawsuit's about being mean to people. Right. And that's. That seems kind of mean.

[A]

That is, Meanwhile, he's got a lot more followers, so it's more mean than we've done.

[B]

That's right. It's that. That's really gonna.

[A]

It's very mean.

[B]

That's really gonna spread and get back to, to his daughters. Because that's, that's, that's what it's. That's what it's all about. Yeah, I digress. Walk us through the history, if. If you will, of explosive breaching. And.

[C]

Yeah, so there's so much to unpack there. But one of the big things. That's a misnomer. We can go back to the days of China and the Great Wall. Right, of course. But fast forward into modern times. I asked you the question earlier. When do you think the first explosive breach was initiated?

[B]

Right.

[C]

And.

[B]

And I nailed it. But I don't want to crush it.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Brilliant.

[B]

I don't want to.

[C]

Yeah, yeah, like 42 or something like that.

[B]

I don't want to show about in front of the audience. I'll let you.

[C]

So the, the answer to that is, I want to say December 4th or 8th, 1969, but not in Germany, not overseas. It was in Los Angeles. So the first modern day breach that we had happened there at the Black Panther compound.

[B]

And so that sure wasn't a peaceful protest. It's Black Panthers. I'm sure it was a peaceful protest. Yeah.

[C]

There was definitely no shooting involved.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Yeah. There wasn't something like two or three, 400 rounds. That didn't happen either. Yeah, but. And then from there it kind of started progressing into 1977. The Navy EOD took it, they did a lot of testing with it. That's how it got instilled into the military. And that's where a lot of people thinks that explosive breaching came from, was the military application. Actually, it was U.S. soil. And then in 1980, the famous Iranian embassy we talked about earlier with John McLeish and the Blue team and all those guys in the sas, and that.

[B]

Was, that's a great example of P for Plenty. It's on our intro video. You can see the dust cloud that, that came from that it was a huge breach. And I didn't see the doors. I'm going to take a educated guess here that that wasn't necessary. But I also get it. It's it that is a true hostage rescue. The hostage rescue. You cannot chance not getting in there. So I understand it.

[C]

And where we started at that point.

[B]

Right.

[C]

You can't fault those guys.

[B]

Not absolutely. Not at all.

[C]

And fun fact, told you earlier, go look up Captain Price from Call of Duty and type in John McLeish and you'll find out where that character came from. So 1980, man, it became a thing. And then really it didn't kind of come into the military side until late 80s and then 91. It kind of became a thing in the US part. And then it just went on and on and on, kind of the same old rudimentary charges. Brent. But then where it really started changing, I would personally say has been probably the last 10 years, the biggest steps.

[B]

You know, it goes back to kind of what you said, whatever's, whatever's the most important at, at that time, but it's not people, really. We take breaching very, very serious at the unit as no surprise. We take everything serious. But there's, there's an emphasis on, on breaching and being A master of that craft. Because at the end of the day, you can have the. You can have the perfect infill platform. You can sneak in undetected, if you will. If you get a chance to meet the enemy, I guarantee we have the training to put one or two or five right where we want to before. Before they can. But if the breach fails, everything gets put behind the. The. The eight ball.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Either don't get in or you get in. Eventually we'll get in eventually, but we've lost. We've lost momentum, we've lost speed, we've lost surprise. Breaching is so, so important. It has to be done right. You cannot screw it up.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

It. It'll go from what's. Could be one of your greatest advantages of the operation to one of your biggest disadvantages.

[C]

Absolutely.

[B]

If you do it wrong. Yeah. And.

[C]

And you have to do it right. There is no ultimatum for failure. And even if you have a failed breach as a competent preacher, then you have to have an answer right behind that breach.

[B]

Right.

[C]

And. And it's just a layer thing. Call it hard target defeat, call it what you want to, but it's the layers and the complications that you have to solve very quickly, man. And that's. That's where it comes down to. And that's what we try to do at the Guild. Train guys that way.

[B]

I got some nerdy questions for you that, that maybe people you don't think about or, or realize when. When you do explosive breaching, do you. Do they always have to bring the explosives, or do you have the capability of having. Holding, storing explosives?

[C]

Yes. Yes and no. So the way it works with us specifically, there's other companies do it different. We have all of ours from obviously an ATF authorized holder. They send it to the agency. The agency, we. We base off of that course. They take possession of it, and then we utilize it there. Now if we do store it, we store it with one of our partners that we work with, a couple private companies, Alabama. Other places out there. Or we also try to do what's right by the agency. And if you're hosting us, you're bringing us in, it's kind of cool if we leave you with something.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

You know, we just got to do a transfer. And so make sure you write it in, write it out. And so we always try to leave the. The homeboys a little stuff to go play with and get some more reps in.

[B]

Yeah. I am also. Well, in fact, a couple of us here are. Are well aware of the difficulties of of the atf. And you decided like magnet and like we did when we got in alcohol, you're like, you know what? Let's start a business that has to do with the atf. And now we have to deal with them and jump through all their hoops. First of all, you have to learn all their hoops. It's not like they give you a book of sources, like, hey, this is everything you have to know. They just assume you know it, and you got to go figure it out.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

What a pain in the butt that was.

[C]

It's a lot of reading.

[B]

You should have done something different.

[C]

It's a lot of reading. But the thing that is. That is super cool is there's a lot of exceptions for law enforcement.

[B]

Good.

[C]

We don't necessarily, my bro, have those exceptions. And you know what we do is we try to work in. In those particular veins, and it helps us out, and it helps them out. It's pretty copacetic.

[B]

The. One of the stories I love that. That I'm not sure if we actually got to it on the recorded session that we'll. We'll release in the next couple of weeks, but you've been dealing with explosives for a long time, haven't you?

[C]

Yeah, a little while.

[B]

Let's go back to the beginning. What. What did you use? And how'd you figure out how. How to use it? And this will jog some people's.

[C]

Which one are we talking about?

[B]

The. The. The book. The book and how you learned and.

[C]

How you talk about way back when.

[B]

Way back. And how you learned how to fish.

[C]

Wait, can we turn the AT off to ATF channel off of this one?

[B]

Hey, it's open source. Yeah, I mean, everyone knows about that book. So as soon as you said, of.

[A]

Course I know about that book.

[C]

I thought you was talking my professional career, but my pre. Professional career.

[B]

Right.

[C]

Okay, so let me give some context. My dad was a pastor. Good man, probably similar to your father. And. And I tried to be a good son, but like some. I was a turd, you know? And so I didn't tell you this part, Brent.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

So when I used to get on the old 28k dial up back in the day.

[B]

I was so bad.

[C]

I. We'd get on aol, right? And I always have loved explosives, fireworks. I made watermelon bombs. You know, I made Drano bombs. I loved it, man. I dug it. And all of a sudden, on aol, there was this little thing called the eight Anarchist Cookbook.

[B]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

And I was like, what is this Magic.

[B]

What do we have here?

[A]

Hypothetically speaking? Hypothetically speaking.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Obviously.

[A]

Not me.

[C]

Not me. And so, yeah, that's how it started. And so I started reading it and what we did is we took out a bunch of black powder because it was very common to get. Took some pvc, took a little bit of liner bag, which is, I want to say page 36 or something, and packed it down. What's. What's really awesome too is we took fuses from like fireworks, you know, the old mortars.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

But this is not the way to do it. But I would take mom's hot glue gun that she did arts and crafts for church, and that's how I would seal the top of it and seal the fuse on top.

[B]

Okay.

[C]

Put it all the way down.

[B]

Great. Now you got mom involved in this.

[A]

Mom.

[C]

Sorry, we're going to prison together.

[A]

Mom don't even cuss.

[C]

And now she's in prison for me and man, then we would. We would kind of chum the water a little bit and attach some hot dogs and bada bing, bada boom. That's where my career started.

[B]

Your fishing career?

[C]

Yeah. I'm no Bill Dance, but, you know.

[B]

Wow. Oh, gosh, I love that story. I love that story. Every. Everybody our age is aware of that book has forgotten about that book. And now that you bring it up, like, oh my gosh, they may have it somewhere in storage. They're like, I gotta go find that.

[C]

Oh, dude, it was major back in the day, man.

[B]

Oh, I'm speaking of, here's. You got that you reminded me of. And you have to be our age. I hate sounds like the old man thing, but it's true. They will never understand dos. Oh, do you remember dogs? Yes. You had to type in the commands you wanted in greater than, less than to get to where you wanted to go. Yeah, like it's. Windows wasn't even invented back then. Like, you had to tell the computer where to look, bro.

[C]

My dad worked for Prudential Insurance for a while and he had a good year, a really good year, and they gave him a computer. Now I know all of you out there are going to be floored by this. It had a hard Drive with 128 megabytes and it came with DOS.

[B]

So it was amazing.

[C]

Yeah, absolutely amazing.

[B]

I remember when we were the. When we were the big guys in around. Because you didn't have Google back then. I know it's crazy for people and in a weird way, it's even crazy for me to think about a world Without Google. Yeah. And so I'll give. When I. When I give you the answer, like. Oh, yeah. Do you. What was our Google back then? Do you want to take a stab at it? Does anyone here want to take a stab at what our Google was back then?

[A]

We had a Britannica encyclopedia that broke the furniture encyclopedias.

[B]

And not everyone had them. They were expensive. And you know, there's. There's like 24 books to get encyclopedia. And if you think about like, good.

[A]

Luck with the shelf on that.

[B]

Oh, gosh. And what great parents of sorts like you. They weren't cheap. Like, it was like a car payment, a house payment equivalent to get this knowledge brought to your house. And 30 books.

[C]

I had this weird desire to either be an anarchist or Jacques Cousteau. I know it's extreme, but I have the entire Jacques Cousteau Ocean Adventures 1 through, like, what is it? 6:16.

[B]

But I believe when you put them together, you're just a pirate.

[C]

I feel like I have a calling.

[A]

Give me me booty.

[B]

And now we got to do pirate shots. Oh, thankfully I have no lines and I have no bottom shelf tequila, so unfortunately, we're all safe. Oh, shoot. Any more super chats?

[A]

Let's see. We've got Wiley Coyote back in. He says if New Mexico or the NM SB 17 passes, the state will flip. Rick.

[B]

I hope so.

[A]

And I hope and. And I moved to Florida.

[C]

Come on, bro. Be a Florida. I. I just recently am 1. Come be with us.

[A]

Good. Salvador says Bruce Springsteen should change his name to Puke Pringle Springsteen. Which reminds me, I don't know. We go around the room. What was everybody's favorite super bowl commercial? Any favorites on the super bowl commercials, Man.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

They're hard pickings these days.

[C]

There is no other commercial that came close. And if you didn't cry, you're not American. That was the Budweiser commercial with the free. Oh, my gosh.

[A]

It was amazing.

[B]

I'mma give him credit.

[C]

I. I'm not a fan of that brand end.

[B]

No.

[C]

But I am a fan of that commercial.

[B]

Exactly. This is what I told someone else that talked about how awesome that was. Here's. I'm not a fan of them leaking commercials before the Super Bowl. Don't do that.

[C]

Yeah, yeah.

[B]

Don't do that. I wanna. You kind of.

[A]

We're there for the commercials.

[B]

Yeah. I mean, for the commercials. Right? Amazing commercial. Good job. I'll still never drink your beer.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

I'm petty like that. Don't. Now I feel like you're just trying to Weasel your way back in our good graces. It's gonna take. It's gonna take more and longer than that. Won't do it. I don't love Shane Gillis. I don't care if Shane drinks it. I don't care that your Budweiser commercial had a baby eagle in it. I won't do it.

[C]

I just love the commercial.

[B]

Love the commercial. Love the commercial. I'm separating the two. Yeah, yeah.

[A]

Magnet. What you got the Pepsi commercials with the polar bear. Oh, yeah.

[C]

That was a good roast.

[A]

Yeah, that was good roast.

[C]

Yeah, you're right. It was a good roast.

[A]

That was good. Tyler.

[B]

I don't think any others stood out than those two. You know what? I know I'm actually. Those were the only two commercials that I thought of. I can't think of a single.

[A]

My favorite one, because I'm. I always like the funny ones. My favorite one was even though I love the bud one. It was great. The. The insurance one. The halfway there.

[B]

Oh, that one was a good one.

[A]

That's so funny. That's the last thing you want is your insurance company be halfway there. So you're living on a prayer when you're using some other engine. Hold on, hold on.

[B]

There was. Gosh, now we're thinking of a few more. What was the butt one?

[A]

Oh, yeah, you can loosen your tight end loose.

[B]

And it had a whole bunch of.

[A]

Tight ends in there. And everybody's butts were saying something. Oh, prostate test.

[B]

Right. They were all. They all had clinch your butts, you.

[A]

Know, because they got a new way to do the test.

[B]

Yeah. They had all the titans. All the.

[A]

Yeah, that was awesome.

[B]

That was. That was a.

[A]

That was fun.

[B]

That actually may have been the funniest one. Now that I'm thinking about it. When it comes to funny.

[A]

You weren't expecting that.

[B]

Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

[A]

All right, we. Back to the super chats. Says Brent. This is Justin. He says Brent, sorry I'm late to the live. Listening to Drew's podcasts.

[B]

Even better.

[A]

And America, Mara, I think. Brent, what is the best dark roast coffee? FRCC does team American World police for the outro.

[B]

World Police. That's the first time that's ever been requested. I'll answer your question. I gotta talk about that for a second. The. Well, we. We only have one dark roast, so it's the first responder dark roast. Fun fact about coffee, if you will, but it makes sense when. So all of our flavored coffee is a. Is a medium roast. Did you know you cannot do or definitely shouldn't I should say, I guess you technically could do a flavored dark roast, because you roast, you basically burn the flavoring right off of it.

[C]

Interesting.

[B]

So. And we don't have any other beans. Like, we don't have, like this bean or that being that bean. And. And dark roast, we only do Brazilian arabica beans because they're low in acidity. And so we have. We have one dark roast to rule them all.

[A]

Joe Saunders. Yippee K says, honest question, no jokes. What Brent said, maybe the first breach failed. So to Shane, how much do you keep making attempts, fall back to saw torch.

[C]

I know what it means.

[A]

Find an alternative route. Curious.

[C]

Yeah. So is he saying there's a fail breach?

[B]

I guess Brent said maybe the first breach failed. So what's the alternative? Keep making attempts, fall back to a. A quickie saw, go to a torch, find an alternative route or an alternative breach. Curious, what's your answer is on a failed breach?

[C]

Yeah. So one thing we're always going to teach is the ttps of the breacher. They, we. We ask this question every time. We say, hey, what's your ttp? If you have a fail breach, how many times does the dude hit the door? Or whatever the case is, right? And. And they always say, well, it's the breacher. You got to be careful with that, because if you don't have a set ttp, we can get very emotionally involved. And you take a young guy, especially on the SWAT side, right? And all of a sudden, he's sitting the door. We've seen all the videos 16, 17, 18 times. So you've got to have, first of all, TTP. I think the second thing is that you got to understand is what is the mission? You know, there's always got to be a contingency. So if you hit that front door, it doesn't work. What was your contingency? Was it a window? Was it going through the wall? Because if it's an hr, we can't say, hey, time out. Let's go have a sandwich and figure this out. So I think from that point on, man, you have a fail breach, you have your secondary tools. We always teach that too. You know, you've got to have your hallies, you got to have your hydraulic systems on the backside, and there's got to be layers to how you breach just as much as there's layers to defeating that target.

[B]

Yeah. So absolutely. Great answer.

[C]

Hope that's fair, bro.

[A]

All right, only got a couple more left. Holy folks says, I can't wait to see the Comments from Instagram by members sending in pics of their pee Bottle with Tier 1 podcast sticker on it. Going to be so funny. I actually love this idea. Thank you. Holy fook. I mean, I think people ought to do it. Hey, get your sticker, give us your funniest picture, send it to our Instagram and win some free cigars.

[B]

I'll send it to you guys. I'd love to take credit for it, but as always, most of our good ideas come from you guys. Yeah, I didn't. You guys wouldn't stop talking about the piss bottle. It grew legs. And then I was like, you know what? We need some stickers anyway, bro, these are amazing.

[C]

These people.

[B]

They're the funniest brilliant individuals.

[C]

I don't know them, but they are.

[B]

This is why I love Thursday nights.

[C]

You want the hard tard? I hope he's my best friend. I'm just letting you know, dude.

[B]

I love you, Joe Saunders. Yippee Kai. It's, you know, it's your classic screen Name of 40 characters. You. You. Do you want to know where our bourbon idea came from?

[C]

Oh, please, share customers. Yes.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

They kept asking for it.

[B]

How many times we got told, man, I love your coffee. I love your cigars. Man, if you guys do bourbon, you'll have all my vices. The first time, that's funny. The second time, that's funny. By the 30th, 40th, hundredth time, like, maybe we should do this. Yeah, like, all of our best ideas, really, it's a lot. Maybe not all of them, but a lot of them come from just listening to customers and their feedback.

[C]

It's almost like if corporate America can learn to listen to a consumer, we.

[B]

Never have bad nothing funk it. We'll never have them again.

[C]

Yeah, that's for sure. Yeah.

[B]

Hey, listen, what do I say all the time? Hey, you can make a mistake. Don't you dare make the same mistake twice. NFL, don't make the same mistake twice.

[C]

The new lowers came from the chat.

[B]

Oh, did they?

[A]

Yeah. Yeah, because everybody calls you CAG Daddy.

[B]

And now that's. That's in this. In the serialization of. Of the linear.

[A]

The name is CAG15 and the. The serial number is Daddy Dash.

[B]

The serial number.

[C]

You know the best part? You don't have to pay dividends to these people.

[B]

That's true. We just take and take and.

[C]

Thanks, guys.

[A]

Love you. Yeah, and hard hitter for the last one. Thank you very much for the list, love. We really appreciate it. I put a poll in here. We only got about 39 votes out of the 400 that are in here. But that's okay. We got. This is. What is your favorite FRCC coffee. 33. Well, tier one lately.

[B]

Whoa, hold on.

[A]

Bourbon Con was up there the whole time. And then tier one surpassed at 36. 38. Still climbing.

[B]

Still climbing.

[A]

And Bourbon Pecan is next. Then medium dark as the at the end.

[B]

Drew loves playing with his pole.

[A]

Yeah, I. I love them joining in on my poll. Oh, hey, guys.

[B]

That. Mine was a joke. Yours was dirty.

[A]

Not. Y' all made it dirty. Happy Valentine's Day.

[C]

All I can say is bless your poultry.

[B]

Did y' all know? Of course y' all knew. Drew was a youth pastor. Did you know Shane with a. Was a used balancer as well?

[C]

I was.

[B]

I love it. I'm excited about this.

[A]

All the good ones are.

[B]

Oh, yeah, this one gets me. Oh, I remember toodling around on my C6Z51 Corvette. 2005 into 2006. Fresh green beret. Probably just got back from my second combat deployment. I was the man I thought it was. Top off, Corrosion of conformity blaring. Getting ready to go to my next deployment. It sounds dramatic but true. Didn't care if I live or died. Just living life one day at a time. Let's go and hang out with the regular chats. This is actually my favorite part of the night. Listening to good music that you guys picked and reading your comments. Whoa, Drew, calm down. Chucky D. Gets it, Drew.

[A]

Yeah, I hear it.

[B]

All right.

[A]

I hear you, Chucky.

[B]

Ah, man. What do we got in Minnesota? Got Christmas story poll, Ice mouth. All right. Dwazi019 said, Are we going to do an FRCC meetup tomorrow in Daytona at Hollerbox after piss bottles mount up. And thank you again for not using beans from stolen land. I need a simple. Cool. All right. I need a ta.

[C]

I know.

[B]

So what he's talking about is Rob is having a meet and greet. You're like the 10th person to send it to me.

[A]

Yeah, of course.

[B]

I. If it wasn't the middle of the lawsuit, I thought about sitting up a tip right. Right next to his and be like, meet a real American hero. And then having the podcast, the patreon, and everyone come out and. And hang out at. At. At my tip. Endorph. His little event.

[C]

Dude, that's great.

[B]

Oh, after the lawsuit, we'll. We'll do. We'll do some of these events.

[A]

You might not be able to have any more events.

[B]

Christiany6417. Boys, nobody's seen the Instacart commercial. Anybody see that one? I actually didn't see most of the second half of the super bowl because. Right. It was on the wall.

[C]

Yeah. Full disclosure, third quarter.

[B]

Yeah, I was out, man. So if it was second, I might not see. But no one else saw it. All right, well, I gotta look it up. The two A boys in the chats love those guys.

[A]

Apache 6400.

[B]

There we go. Drew and Brent. Heard what y' all did for a Fort Rucker military ball. You guys are second to none and can't wait for my next shipment of coffee.

[A]

Those guys, they sent us pictures of them standing in front of the Apache with our cigars. Yeah, can't wait to. I gotta ask him if I can post it. Post it and maybe delete some of the stuff.

[B]

It's gonna sound a little contradictory by saying it, but we do. I. I assure you, most of you guys don't know a fraction of. Of frcc. And what we do, what we donate to, what we give to. Because we don't do it for the. For the look of me. Of it. But, but we, but we are. We are doing it. And it's a lot. And I'm. And I'm. And I'm super proud every time we do it. I know. And I hate this. And, and you're. And you're that kind of guy too. And I don't know. Like, I really don't. I think you should do your charity things and. Quiet. It's not a look at me thing. But when you're running a business, people also want to know what they're associated with you. I mean, I don't know the right answer to that.

[C]

My opinion is you compartmentalize some and you very ethically divulge others. Meaning. We're doing a big thing with scholarships. We all know that cops don't need just more training. They need better training. So we're working with multiple companies to do scholarships to help them out. They just come for free. Those are things that we divulge, but then on the backside of it, there are thousands of dollars that, that we try to give back to our community. Because the way. And Drew, you'll dig this. The way we tithe is by giving back. And, and the more that we do, the more we try to give back. Because ultimately, man, you. You can never out give your blessings. And it's. It's important that you do it, man. If not, you're in it for the wrong reasons. If you're in it for money. Yeah. Get gone.

[B]

Yeah, I'm gonna tell a story and you'll, you won't appreciate it. You won't be mad at me, but you won't appreciate it. And I don't care some. I'll ask for forgiveness, and I know you'll give it to me because you're a sucker. I wanted Shane because he has a lot of exposure to law enforcement, and I'm a big believer in, in testosterone because it's done a lot in my life. I, I, my life would be miserable without it. Just would be. Like I've said, I've said the story before. Double digits in my testosterone. Before the podcast, I've, you know, talked to, talked business with Shane. I was like, hey, I really want to bring you on to hbtrt. Once you be a part of the team, you know, I want you to promote it because I know, because I want SWAT guys to be in the best shape of their lives as they have to be. And, and I said, hey, we can do an affiliate program. This is what you can make. This is what you can do. And he said, yeah, that's awesome. I'm in. Let's do it. But here's the thing. Let's, let's find something and let's, let's donate all the money that you would pay me as an affiliate, and we're going to donate it to scholarships. And I said, do you, I'll just, just completely. I said, why do you do that? I said, you take. Because we've, we've talked business before, and that's not the first time you've deferred money from, from things we've talked about. I said, why do you do this? You're going to have to, like, you're gonna have to provide for your family. He said, no, I'm good. I'm gonna give back. Let's do this. And I'm gonna give back. And that's, that's why I love you.

[C]

Yeah, I love you too, bro. And that's, Yeah, I think that's, that's what we have to be. I think I really.

[B]

And if I didn't, and if I didn't say that, not that you asked, no one would ever know. That's the type of man you are.

[C]

So I appreciate that, man. I really do. And it's, But I'll say this. It's, it's my honor to give back to my community. It's, it's not my duty. It's an honor that I give back to law enforcement and the military because they've really given me everything, you know.

[B]

Absolutely. I get that it's going it's going to be a several a several song night. Corrosion and Conformity clearly one tonight. But it's just, I just, I just think it's appropriate. Guess what? We're already he went from 20 something views. We're already over a hundred views in it, which is a third of our audience went over there. And and we're up to 44 comments. Wow. We went from three comments to 44 comments, guys. And this is the perfect time to just do it one more time. It's the very end of the show, so I get it. Like you may not want to stop the show, go over we got over 300 people still hanging out with us. When this show ends, I expect to see 300 comments on that. And again, like he said, great idea. Share this song Back to the comment.

[A]

The link is at the top of the chats.

[B]

CAG Daddy, what are you bringing CAG granddaddy Sergeant Major Mike Vining? I am. Yes. I love that cat Granddaddy. That's who he's do you know who I'm talking about? Who that guy is?

[C]

I know the name of that guy. I've never met him.

[B]

Have you seen seen the meme or a picture of him? He's the guy that looks like Mr. Rogers with Coke bottles. BCGS legend per se. Looks like he wouldn't hurt a fly and as and and it's just an absolute savage. Oh yeah. I can't believe he's going on podcast. He better come to mind.

[C]

That'd be great.

[B]

So looking forward to to talking to that guy. Seth B. And Delta dad says hell yeah. Seth, great to see you.

Drew's wife is we've had this before is experimenting with chocolate and she sent me a bourbon pecan infused chocolate bar that tasted amazing and I was good. And just be honest when we first like said something I was like you know we always have these ideas and I'm always a little bit negative of like on the inside about it. And then I had I was like hold on, maybe who else is a.
