Welcome back to another episode of the Blk & Blu Podcast, the internet's #1 podcast for dad jokes and vets in short shorts.

This week, the guys kick things off with an intervention on Blake's love-hate relationship with pants. If it weren't for Kyle dressing him, we'd have a serious problem on our hands.

Next up, Kyle shares the events that unfolded during his last trip to Texas. We're talking half-chewed Uncrustables, the Frontline Healing Foundation Gala, and raising funds to help those who need it most.

To wrap, Blake breaks down his exciting new podcast appearance, where he gets his source material from, and they end with a discussion on Kyle's birthday and his favorite gifts. Let's get into it.

Happy 4th of July, and welcome back to another episode of the Blk & Blu podcast! In today's episode, Blake and Kyle kick things with a birthday beatdown, because according to Blake, Kyle should be in a nursing home by now. Next, Kyle shares how he's gearing up for another trip to Texas, where he'll attend the Frontline Healing Foundation gala and an actual rodeo. Yes, boots will be worn.

Blake spills the beans on his recent guest spot on the Blurry Creatures podcast, plus the travel trauma that comes with flying next to Nicole. He also reveals his current obsession: owning a pet falcon. Naturally, Kyle counters by flexing an old photo of himself holding America's freedom mascot...a real bald eagle. Speaking of animals, Blake recaps a wild vet trip with King George, who clearly eats like one. Spoiler: he's fine, but the x-rays paint quite the picture.

To close it out, the guys fuel their competitive fire with plans for a Blu Bearing Olympics, reveal the name of their very first podcast guest, and break down the ultimate Dad shoe lineup. This one's loaded...let's get into it.

The Blk & Blu Podcast is back with an all new episode! This week, Blake kicks things off by sharing his wife's favorite way to make coffee. Well, it might not be her favorite way, but it is the ranger way.

Next up, Kyle reflects on his back surgery, his surgeon praying over him, and how recovery has gone...it involves peanut butter, nicotine, and peptides. Yum.

To wrap, Blake calls out Ashton Hall again for not doing the MURPH on Memorial Day, talks about his rediscovered love of photography, and of course a pirate fact of the day. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast! In this week’s episode, Blake and Kyle unpack their recent trip to Texas, starting with Kyle’s interview on the Resilient Show. Blake shares some West-Virginian Ninja School knowledge, and it becomes clear that these two can’t just shoot for fun.

Next up, the guys breakdown their most recent competition (we’ll let you decide who won) and Blake shares some photos of his newest friends. There’s a whole lot of horsing around in this episode…bad joke my bad.

To wrap up, they talk about tipsy Airbnb superhosts, pianos that play themselves (spooky) and their infamous dump pouch diet. This episode is a good one, let’s get into it.Sponsors:

The Blk & Blu Podcast is back with an all new episode! This week, things commence with a discussion on Kyle's upcoming back surgery, and Blake's recent video shoot for Patreon. It get real, real quick, as Blake shares his struggles with being punished in his relationship...I'm not going to elaborate anymore on that.

Like clockwork, the guys roll into the traditional Zyn toss (too close for comfort here) and talk best friend things, like Blake's tattoos and Kyle's inability to grow a beard. Blakeypoo shares how he cringes at curse words now, and Blu Bear recites (or attempts to recite) the Ranger Creed. You can take the man out of the Army, but you can't take the Army out of the man.

To wrap it all up, they discuss the upcoming season of The Chosen, share some ghost stories, and of course, a pirate fact of the day. By they talk, I mean Blake. The last 20+ minutes is just Blake rambling. 100% Blake. You're welcome. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast! This week, the guys kick things off with a trip down memory lane, as Kyle reflects on his appearance on TFATK that finally aired. Afterwards, Blake opens a gift from BB3 and let's just say, he's not a happy trooper...for a couple of reasons.

Next up, Kyle shares his most recent man vs wild experience and they give their take on the "100 Men vs 1 Gorilla" debate. That silverback doesn't stand a chance.

To wrap, Blake tells what might be the most West Virginia story of all time, discuss testosterone therapy, and recap the NFL draft with Jax Ulbrich's $350,000 mistake. If that sounds like a good time, then buckle up (looking at you Blake) and press play...let's get into it.

Welcome back to an all new episode of the Blk & Blu Podcast! This week, the grunts kick things off with a good 'ole fashioned roast, courtesy of ChatGPT. From there, the guys dive into the highs and lows of flying first class (without BB3) and Blake puts Kyle on blast for his secret superpower. E4 Mafia stand up.

If you've ever wondered what Blake would look like behind bars, here's your opportunity to see it...oh how the tables have turned. The guys share about their recent 8 ball competition (sore losers and all) and unbox a package from the show's newest sponsor- ROKA.

To wrap up, Blake and Kyle reflect on another creepy Airbnb, give some advice on using (and setting up) your kit, and pick up yet ANOTHER bell...you heard that right.

So what are you waiting for? Hit the play button for me...or don't...does reverse psychology work over text?

By popular demand, Blk & Blu is back with an all new episode! This week, the guys kick things off by announcing the 10 winners of the Instagram giveaway, celebrating our milestone of 10k followers. If you were a lucky winner, expect a DM from @blkblupodcast to coordinate shipping. Speaking of, Kyle shares one of his favorite commercial campaigns of all time- shoutout to the KMart (1962-2024) marketing team. They deserved better.

Next up, we’re getting weird as Blake relives his childhood encounters with the oddest folks in West Virginia, the Whittaker family. Shoutout Lil Timmy. From there, they talk about old video games, bad haircuts (debatable) and Blake’s beard routine.

In the end, this wouldn’t be a Blk & Blu episode if Blake didn’t black out, Kyle didn’t ring the bell, and they both tried some questionable accents…safe to say this episode has it all. The guys wrap by discussing Blake’s son’s newest business venture, unboxing gifts from supporters (you’ll love this) and hinting at future guests & merch. Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast! In this week's episode, Blake and Kyle are tackling hypocrisy, one ironic moment at a time. To kick things off, Blake opens a care package from a friend, and finally earns his Jr. Trooper badge...it's enough to make a grown man cry. Next up, the guys discuss their trip to San Antonio, working in the heat, and some very special organizations that fund LE training. 

If you're looking for self-care/improvement tips, this episode has got you covered. Blake and Kyle talk about BB3's incredible smoothies, visiting Warriors Heart with Tom Spooner, and even some tattoo therapy. A lot of healing can be done on 500 acres with a solid gym and some cattle to keep you company. To wrap up, our wonderful co-hosts discuss airplane etiquette, their family trip to the Alamo, and how traveling together is always a rollercoaster. Sound like your cup of tea? Perfect. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast! In this week’s episode, Blake and Kyle kick things off by acknowledging all the work they do to run the show…it has nothing to do with Starship Commander- whose identity remains to be revealed. Next up, the guys unpack their routine morning FaceTime, and how Blake continues to have a lying problem. To ease the tension, Blake presents Kyle with a new gift from one of our gracious supporters…so you all can thank Mike for bringing back a very *special* item.

After a long week of solo-parenting, Kyle shares some newfound perspective on what it takes to keep an orderly house, and Blake addresses his concerns with NC weather. They get into their recent trip to Virginia Beach, who could run a faster 40, and why Blake hems his short-shorts. Yes, you read that correctly. To wrap up, Blakeypoo and Blu Bear talk about linking up with the guys at GBRS, checking out the Be Free Craft Cafe, and how ecstatic BB3 was to finally meet his hero (it rhymes with “TJ” Quickly). As them West Virginian’s would say, this episodes a hoot…let’s get into it.
