4 Years a Slave

This might be one of the most legendary (and unfortunate) Marine Corps moments ever caught on camera…

In this clip from Four Years a Slave, Nick Racioppi tells the story behind a now-infamous photo of him—fully geared up in the middle of the desert… just trying to take a dump in peace.

But of course… nothing in the military is ever that simple.

Right in the middle of it, he locks eyes with one of his higher-ups. No cover. No escape. Just pure, unfiltered eye contact in the worst possible moment imaginable.

If you’ve ever been in the field, you already know—there’s no privacy, only suffering and bad timing.

What started as a normal day in the barracks turned into absolute chaos…

In this clip from Four Years a Slave, Nick Racioppi breaks down the moment someone decided it was a GREAT idea to throw a smoke grenade inside the barracks lounge… and yeah—it went exactly how you’d expect.

We’re talking zero visibility, Marines scrambling, leadership losing their minds, and a lounge that looked like it got hit by a tactical apocalypse.

The best part? It wasn’t even combat—it was just another random day in the Marine Corps.

If you’ve ever lived in the barracks, you already know… nothing good ever starts with “watch this.”

Episode #60 of 4 Years a Slave is straight chaos from start to finish.

I sat down with Cody Bensley — former Machine Gunner with 2/8 — and this one goes OFF THE RAILS immediately.

We’re talking:

• The time he busted his head wide open with skis in the snow (yeah… it’s as bad as it sounds)
• The infamous moment where he missed EVERY SINGLE SHOT in beer pong… and actually got punished for it 🤦‍♂️
• A ridiculous fishing trip in Yuma with Kane Chitty that somehow turned into a full-blown story you won’t believe
• Life after the Corps — how he transitioned into being a gaming streamer and what that world is really like

If you’ve ever been in the military, hung around Marines, or just appreciate absolute stupidity mixed with brotherhood… this episode delivers.

This is one of those episodes where you realize:

One guy sticks the landing…
The other? Hanging in a tree getting roasted.
In this clip from Four Years a Slave, Leo Banuelos from the Wet Boots Podcast tells the story of a jump that didn’t go exactly as planned. Instead of hitting the ground clean, he ends up caught in a tree, stuck mid-air—while his buddy who landed next to him is on the ground laughing and talking trash.
Perfect example of how things can go sideways FAST… and your boys will never let you live it down.
👇 Be honest—are you helping your boy, or roasting him first?

In this wild clip from Four Years a Slave featuring Leo Banuelos from the Wet Boots Podcast, he breaks down one of the craziest stories he’s ever heard—an airborne jump that went completely wrong, ending in a free-fall straight into a swamp.
No warning. No time to react. Just chaos.
This is the kind of story that sounds fake… until you realize it actually happened.

“I’m innocent until proven guilty…”
That’s how this starts—but it doesn’t take long before things go completely off the rails.
In this clip from Four Years a Slave, Damien Reynolds breaks down the three worst shenanigans he got caught up in during his time in the military. From dumb decisions to full-blown chaos, these are the kinds of stories every vet has—but not everyone admits.
Some are hilarious. Some are questionable. All of them could’ve gone VERY differently.
👇 Which one got him in the most trouble? Let us know in the comments.

He said it straight up… if he had the chance, he’d go back in without hesitation.

In this clip from Four Years a Slave, Damian Reynolds breaks down the feeling a lot of vets don’t talk about—the pull, the purpose, the brotherhood… and why civilian life just doesn’t hit the same.

This is the side of military life most people will never understand.

👇 Drop your thoughts in the comments—would you go back?

Yeah… that actually happened.
In this episode of Four Years a Slave, I sit down with my former Corpsman, Bobby West — and this one goes ALL over the place.
We start with one of the most disgusting, unhinged stories you’ll ever hear from the barracks… and then somehow end up talking about faith, discipline, and completely changing your life.
Bobby went from being an absolute menace — a wild, degenerate Corpsman doing insane stuff like this — to becoming a family man who found purpose through the Eastern Orthodox Church.
We dive into:
The craziest Corpsman stories (including THAT dip spit moment)
What actually makes someone change their life
His journey into Orthodoxy and theology
Is the United States REALLY a Christian nation?
Brotherhood, discipline, and what the military gets right (and wrong)
This is one of those episodes that starts chaotic… and ends deeper than you’d expect.
If you’ve ever wondered how someone goes from rock bottom to purpose — this is it.

"You're not a real Marine until you Sh*t yourself" - Episode 58 w/Damien Reynolds
What happens when a bunch of 81s mortarmen are told to simulate a casualty… and somehow end up becoming actual casualties? Yeah… that’s just the beginning.
In this episode of 4 Years a Slave, I sit down with my boy Damian Reynolds—one of the most unhinged dudes from our mortar platoon—and we dive into the kind of stories you definitely weren’t supposed to hear.
We break down:
The legendary “fake casualty” stretcher incident that went completely sideways
A questionable mortar round photo that should’ve never existed (Lusty, you’re not safe either)
The absolute chaos, stupidity, and brotherhood of being in an 81s platoon
Stories that prove… sometimes the military isn’t dangerous because of the enemy—it’s dangerous because of us
If you’ve ever been in the military, you already know… the funniest stories are the ones that almost got you smoked—or worse.
This is one of those episodes.
