  • Season 2 Ep 1 - New Thing: Dysfunctional Shorts Mr. Salem Poor, Bunker Hill, John Boyd & Flat Earth?

    We begin Season 2 with a new thing.  Every other episode, we will do a Dysfunctional Short, where we highlight an important figure in military history.

    NOTE: Some words that are racially unacceptable today are used in this episode.  We are reading directly from a letter about Mr. Salem Poor written in the late 1700's.  Our podcast and sponsors do not agree with the actual verbiage used in today's episode.  We believe in equality for every human. 

    Today, we discuss Mr. Salem Poor, a key figure in the Battle of Bunker Hill and a great American.

  • Ep 8 - "Guese" Pulling G's, Head Shrinking, Redneck Training, and working at the Pentagram

    Today we chat with "Guese", pronounced Juice, because, why not, be ridiculous in Marine Corps Aviation?  He drags us through his horrifying experiences with the glorious "Spin-n-Puke" and his diet plan to keep food down while pulling G's.
    Beetleguese, Beetleguese, Beetleguese.  Don't say it...I said, don't say it. 
    After his head shrinking and a scorching at a comedy show, he went on to fly a super cool jet. 
    We cover water survival pro tips and how to conquer adversity.

  • Ep 7 - Marlon Woods, International Spy, Superhero, Army Intel dude, chats about Standards, Soup Sandwiches, and Things and Stuff with 3 letters

    Ep 7 - We chat with international spy and fitness model, Marlon Woods.  Marlon, a former Army Intel dude, takes us through his deep thoughts on Military Intelligence, who we should really be afraid of, The Great Hack, fitness, and finally things and stuff.

    What ARE Things and Stuff and what does the military do to Things and Stuff?  Marlon explains what gives him goosebumps, why he lives in Sydney, Australia and how he plans to work for the NSA.

    We chat about letters, like CIA, NSA, FOB, SOF, SP0018, TIC, Humint, Psyops, RCSouth, and Strategery. 

    Find out what the weirdest thing Marlon was ever asked for, his daily routine, how he got to be a Les Mills Ambassador, what IS Les Mills, and his most nerve wracking moment in life.

    We also chat about personal standards, coming to terms with our mortality, and embracing the suck.

    thanks so much for listening!
