In this unfiltered members-only solo rant, Jared wrestles with the never-ending Tim Kennedy drama—because apparently just being a Green Beret and UFC fighter wasn’t enough for the guy. With fake valor awards, bogus war stories, and a book full of stolen valor sauce, Tim Kennedy’s credibility is in free fall. But here's the twist: do we keep crushing him, or is it time to circle the wagons and offer a redemption arc?

Jared takes you behind the scenes of the veteran influencer world—calling out the hypocrisy, wrestling with his own moments of public misrepresentation (yep, even at a graduation), and pushing back against the idea that every screw-up deserves permanent exile. He shares real stories of leadership, PTSD, and the difference between isolating and insulating someone who’s fallen off the rails.

Snarky, reflective, and brutally honest—this is what happens when you're tired of the internet outrage cycle but still believe in accountability.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• Tim Kennedy lied. A lot. And got caught.
• His defenders? Friends, influencers, and the veteran bro-sphere.
• Ostracizing vs. insulating: which path actually helps the community?
• Redemption doesn’t mean erasing consequences—but it does require a door left open.
• Jared shares a real-world example of insulating a struggling teammate—and why it paid off.
• Even decorated warriors can spiral. Leadership is deciding how you show up when they do.

Peaches rolls solo in this scorched-earth episode of Ones Ready—no filters, no fluff. He lights up everything from the Air Force’s new SWAS 2.0 gut-check to the Navy’s Medal of Honor cover-up and the ridiculous “high-stakes leadership certificate” that’s basically a digital participation trophy for wannabe operators.

He calls out politicians, pokes fun at the government shutdown circus, and questions why Airmen need morale patches like emotional support blankets. Then he drops a hard truth: you’re either ready for life or you’re not.

This is Peaches at his finest—equal parts rage, logic, and humor. If you’re thin-skinned, skip it. If you’re tired of fake motivation, buckle up.

You ever read something so cringey it physically hurts? Peaches has—and it’s called the Zulu Course Creed. In this episode, he tears into the latest “motivational masterpiece” that the Air Force somehow thought needed to exist. Spoiler: it sounds like ChatGPT wrote it after watching too many recruiting commercials.

Between roasting the wannabe warrior poetry and showing love for the real grind behind training, Peaches breaks down what’s right, what’s wrong, and why the people building creeds instead of warriors need to hit the pool and rethink their lives. There’s Goggins stories, shutdown rants, and wild butterfly-effect moments that’ll make you question how the hell anything in the DOD gets done.

If you’re allergic to BS and love hearing someone actually say what everyone’s thinking—this one’s for you.

Everyone online says the new Special Warfare “Zulu Course” is trash—so Peaches and Trent decided to light it up. This isn’t a soft take or sanitized military PR moment. It’s two retired operators roasting the chaos, the memes, and the ridiculous leadership gag orders that make no sense. Peaches calls out the “change fatigue” across the DOD, breaks down why the Zulu rollout will be rough, and drops truth bombs about command cluelessness, budget black holes, and the myth of the “company man.” If you can’t handle sarcasm and honesty about how training actually works, go listen to something else.

Trent and Peaches start with monster trucks and end up demolishing the Special Warfare pipeline. But first, they highlight the absolute unit that is Scott Ruskan, a Coast Guard rescue swimmer who saved 165 people during the Texas floods—only to get force-fed a hero tour he didn’t ask for.

What follows is a surgical takedown of the Pentagon’s latest “reforms” to the AFSW pipeline: less training, more liability, and a slow slide toward mediocrity—all in the name of speed. The guys torch the leadership failures, expose the false promises of a “common skills course,” and explain why survivability isn’t something you sprinkle on later.

Also: weather nerds vs. floodplain ignorance, Epstein conspiracies, and why the real danger isn’t water—it’s decisions made by people who never touched it.

🔥 Key Takeaways:

• 🚁 Scott Ruskan is a damn legend. 165 lives saved, no ego, just action.
• ⚠️ The hero tour = psychological landmine. Repeated exposure to trauma masked as “recognition.”
• 🧠 The Gill-Man Amnesia Effect: Everyone forgets yesterday’s lies when today's headline feels good.
• 🥽 Water confidence can’t be bolted on. It needs to be baked in—early and often.
• ⏱️ 12-month pipelines = tactical malpractice. Nobody wants a part-trained teammate.
• 🪖 SOCOM's contractual standards? Being ignored. The Air Force is daring them to care.
• ⚔️ Officers who push back get fired. Bootlickers get promoted.
• 🧃 Fast-roping is fine, repelling is too dangerous? Sure, Jan.
• 🌊 Pacific fight coming, but water training gets cut? Make it make sense.

Aaron’s had enough. This solo Ones Ready episode is a straight-up demolition of every anonymous Air Force wannabe crying about the new Zulu Course. For years, the same crowd begged for tougher, more legit ground training — and now that it’s here, they’re hiding behind meme pages and bad takes.

Aaron lights them up. He defends the cadre who built the course from scratch, calls out the soft culture infecting the pipeline, and drops a masterclass in what real readiness looks like. This isn’t motivation — it’s a correction. You don’t have to like it, but you damn sure need to hear it.

If you’ve ever said “they’re changing too much,” or thought your opinion outweighed experience, this one’s going to sting. Aaron brings the truth, the fire, and the leadership the community forgot it needed.

Aaron’s done playing nice. In this scorched-earth solo rant, the Ones Ready silverback goes full throttle on cones, meme-lords, and anyone dumb enough to trash the new Zulu Course before it even starts. Peaches and Trent are off the mic, which means there’s no filter—just pure truth bombs, sarcasm, and veteran rage.

Aaron breaks down why the Zulu Course is actually the biggest step forward for Air Force Special Warfare training—and why today’s wannabes are embarrassing themselves online instead of preparing for real work. He’s got words for the “day-one quitters,” the recruiters cutting corners, and the soft generation that confuses sarcasm for trauma.

This isn’t motivation. It’s a wake-up call. If you’re one of the cones crying about haircuts and Uncrustables, grab a mirror and a helmet—because Aaron’s not pulling punches.

Forget the motivational fluff—this one’s raw. Peaches sits down with Rob, a Navy vet and father of a Special Warfare candidate, to talk about what really happens when your kid volunteers for hell. From bottom-of-the-pool breakdowns to recruiter nonsense, this convo hits every nerve: pride, fear, frustration, and a dad’s brutal honesty about letting go. Rob doesn’t sugarcoat it—he talks about raising a son who fails, adapts, and keeps fighting. It’s not about the uniform—it’s about grit, humility, and realizing your kid’s journey isn’t yours to control. Parents, this one’s gonna sting a little.

Yeah, this one’s not sunshine and push-ups. Peaches kicks open the team room door and unloads on the chaos hitting the Air Force — murder-suicides, cover-ups, and a shutdown that’s choking the system from the inside out. But before he dives into the darkness, he drops truth bombs from the latest Operator Training Summit: how the next gen of Special Warfare candidates are showing up hungrier, sharper, and more locked-in than ever.

Then it’s straight into the fire — a double murder-suicide at Wright-Patt that exposes the ugly human cost behind the “we’re fine” press releases, and another tragic death tied to the M18 fiasco that’s making the Air Force and SIG Sauer sweat bullets. Peaches doesn’t do conspiracy fluff, but he’s not ignoring the smoke either. From leadership blind spots to the DOD’s “everything’s under control” theater, this episode cuts through the propaganda with a scalpel.

By the time he’s done, you’ll be questioning whether “service before self” still means anything when people are dying under the weight of bureaucracy. And yeah, he somehow still lands the plane with a sliver of hope — free school meals, community support, and a reminder that helping each other is still the only mission that matters.

So strap in, buttercups. This one’s raw, uncomfortable, and 100% Ones Ready.

Everybody brags about “grinding” on four hours of sleep—until their brain turns into mashed potatoes. Peaches sits down with Dr. Leah Kaylor, the FBI’s resident sleep assassin, to expose every lie you’ve ever believed about “sleep aids.” From Benadryl brain fog and melatonin overdoses to why your “one beer to chill” actually nukes your REM cycle, this one’s a brutal wake-up call. Leah demolishes the “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” crowd and drops science that’ll make your caffeine addiction blush. If you’re a high performer running on fumes, this episode’s your intervention.
