Grunts in Appalachia

John and JC Knight went to this years 4th CEB A Co. Marine Corps ball.  We had some drinks some laughs and by far the best part of the evening was meeting and talking to other local Marines in the area that are currently serving.  We Marines take the birthday celebration to be one of the most sacred things in our beloved branch of the military. We had the honor of sitting down with two of the Marines from Alpha Company, one Corporal and one First SGT giving us insight into not only their company but what the Marine Corps means to them. 

Here we are starting the week of celebrating veterans!  This Thursday is the Marine Corps Birthday followed up with Friday being Veterans Day.  You know what that means, every restaurant will be giving great discounts, sometimes free meals and a host of other cool benefits that come along with being a veteran this week.  Veterans Day is the day of the year that you can legit say thank you for your service to a veteran, while it makes a lot of them uncomfortable it is still the day to celebrate our brothers and sisters in arms and give them a little honor.  This is a two part episode and to find our Georgous Georges other nickname you will have to tune into the second part which will be dropping on Friday!

We had a nice little chat about Halloween and the festivities that we got involved with over the weekend.  Little tidbits of information on the warfront with Russia and others and a few other odds and ends.  Take a listen and enjoy!

This week we made our way to Creekside Tavern during the cornhole tournament.  We Got to meet a man that went viral on social media platforms for wearing a mankini while working as a pipeliner, the owner of Creekside (Steve) and a fellow 0331 Machine Gunner from the Marine Corps.  Some wild stories and some crazy Banana moonshine that the Marine brought in from out of his car, only out in the country do things like this happen.  This episode was a lot of fun and we hope you all love it as well.

Brandon and John had to throw together an episode and it turned out great so here it is.... I know some people like a great description but sometimes it takes away from actually listening for yourself. So without further ado here's this weeks first episode!

This weeks second episode is John, Brandon and Gorgeous George sitting around and just being ourselves.  This is us in real life and how we talk to each other whenever the mics aren't there to record us.  Enjoy the nonsense as much as we do because we love this ride called life as much as you do.  

This week we sat down with the CEO of MOS Tactical.  William drove 7 hours to chill with us as we walked downtown Huntington, WV for the Chilifest that was great.  Half the city showed up this year and kudos to all the talented vendors for your take on what chili is supposed to taste like.  You all did a great job and everyone had a blast.  William is such a great guest because he knows his trade inside and out and can talk so intelligently about it that even if you arent on the same wavelength you can get in the conversation because he wants to explain his craft to you.

If you get the chance check our MOS Tactical on Instagram and see all the amazing products that they bring to market for the casual consumer all the way to Special Forces Operators in other countries.  William is a wealth of knowledge and is so interesting to talk to that we will definitely be heading back to Virginia for a round 3 in the future.  

Enjoy this amazing mans mind as we discuss his business and how cool it really is for everyone.

Grunts in Appalachia Out!

Alright guys you asked and we listened!  This is the first legit second episode for the week.  We discuss some current events, some products we were given for a test run and a few other things.  

Thursdays will be the day of the week that we drop our second episode until you all force us to start making 3 a week because we have no trouble sitting around running our mouths for an hour a day.  

Grunts in Appalachia Out!

This week Gorgeous George and John sat down with not only one but two comedians!  Keith Terry and Victor Martinez Jr. got to wild out with us and swap some stories about things in the past and a couple things that happened within 5 minutes of greeting each other.  Bazookas were also on scene and yes I'm referencing the weapon.  Big shout out to EZ Street Bar and Grill in St. Albans for having us set up on their stage to record the episode and being such gracious hosts for us and all the performers there that evening.  If you don't know Keith then you should take a listen.  This man is going places and we are very proud to call him brother.  

We did a wellness check revolving around humor and mental health that was pretty interesting coming from two separate comedians that you don't want to miss.

As Always Grunts in Appalachia Out!

Greekfest 2022 was a hit!
