With good reason, you'll hear the highest respect from The Spaniard toward today's guest, Colonel Tim Nye, who you might know from The Spartan Podcast. He served over 32 years combined as a Marine and then in the Army, in operations all over the globe. You'll quickly get a feel for why Colonel Nye has always been able to fit in with many different groups and settings, whether walking out of college for good (or so he thought), raking concrete in New Jersey, or realizing the types of injuries that military obstacle courses can inflict. Just don't look for him on the golf course (he'll explain why).

In today's AMX, we talk: being actively engaged, taking PRIDE in yourself and being animals at our core.

Remember that online video from fall of 2016 recorded by the guy who had just been attacked by a grizzly bear? He was still bloody and torn up? You will if you saw it. Now you're about to hear The Spaniard meet that very guy—Todd Orr. You'll learn three things about being ultra-prepared: (1) It can't always prevent crisis, but (2) it can help you avoid it, and (3) it can help you survive. You'll also learn how fast a grizzly can run (Hint: Way faster than any human ever) and where to get fantastic premium knives.

Finally! That's what the hardcore MMA fans who follow The Spaniard will say about this episode. Because it's straight fight talk with Ben C. of CombatDocket.com and the Combat Docket Radio podcast. This is good stuff, including: How a fight reflects overall personality and lifestyle … How the greatest achievement in UFC history might not make that fighter the Greatest of All Time … and how weight management differs from weight cutting and is a matter of respect. Extra points if you memorize The Spaniard's weight to the decimal on the morning of this recording.
