Next up, Chris and Kyle workshop a new nickname for the Blk & Blu listeners, let us know what you think in the comments. They discuss the protests, interfering with investigations, and whether or not they play music on their way to a mission. Spoiler alert, The Doobie Brothers are on repeat.

To wrap, the guys discuss profanity, why they don't use it, and how it's led to greater self-control. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu podcast! This week, Kyle is joined by actor, producer, and host of the Real Fake Seal podcast, AJ Buckley.

To kick things off, AJ and Kyle discuss the difficulties of planning a shoot day, why working while traveling is efficient, and how hard is it to effectively multitask. For those that struggle with focusing, maybe pickup boxing...or CQB.

Next up, the guys talk all things shooting. Between training, dry-firing, and learning how to use a red dot, AJ had his work cut out for him. They discuss the parallels between playing an operator, and being one, whether it's getting hurt in action or preparing for the day ahead.
