    columbiawarmachine9795 I would not eat those peppers lol, I will do a lot but that is crazy
    thetoxicjedi I sent Ava an email once. She never replied. She ghost peppered me.
    untMeister66 I don't think it's fair that Eric has to suffer... Maybe not another show with the same pepper, but come on, a spicy tomato juice drink...share the pain

      @mike mccauley8089 - Too many adds
      @hickok 4586 - Will the peppers be a new type of meltdown series? If you want to have some fun with anyone else with the peppers I have two words......"dueling tree"! Eric, have you opened the jar and taken a whiff? If so, do you have nose hairs left? I'm surprised my neighbors haven't complained when I'm drying the peppers. Anyways, best of luck, make sure to have a full stomach of starchy food before eating any peppers and may the Schwartz be with you.
      @jtnord - The bear defense discussion is pretty painful (very dumb question to start). Consider reading some articles and watching some videos on the subject of bear attacks for more practical information.

      Hello Ava and Eric,
      Just wanted to send you a big thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in a way that is not strongly opinionated like some others out there. You give your honest thoughts so our own opinion can be formed. The combination of the 2 of you make for an interesting podcast.
      Question, what is your opinion on the CZ trail 600 in 762x39? Which weight ammo would be best for shooting unsuppressed up to 100yards. I live in a gun hating blue city so no suppressors are allowed.
      Thanks for any input.

      Ava thank you for being an amazing woman in a male dominated sport. My wife was never into guns or shooting like I was about 6 months ago. She started listening to your podcast gun funny and you got her hooked. I have been watching Eric for years now, so I introduced her to the pew pew panel podcast. Now all she wants to do is go shooting and learn more about the 2nd amendment community. Thank you for bringing me and my wife closer
      @AvaFlanell
      Man, I need to get a new camera or we need to use another platform to record on. I continue to look so washed out.
      @Vladimir The LeadHead
      Oh shut up Ava , you could have rollers in your hair, a mask on your face, cucumbers on your eyes and wearing a potato sack and still be a total smoke show. I tried to tell Eric he needs to step it up a little cause I find myself just about only watching you on the split screen. LOL We love you guys and y’all better not stop doing this podcast. Keep the content coming !!!

      I testified along with Ava against the expansion of the red flag law here in Colorado this year. The scariest part is they basically added anyone that works at a school can file a red flag now. It was bad enough when it was cops and medical personnel, but now it is just insane.

      Shotgun:
      Pump action
      Mossberg 500 - pump action - has a tang safety instead of the cross bolt safety
      whether you're shooting right or left handed, it's easier to get to.
      Remington 870
      Long Gun:
      Arsenal AK47 SLR-107 - It's a stamped receiver so it'll be a little lighter over the SAM milled receiver
      Tavor
      Piston driven, use less lubrication
      Small and compact bullpup
      POF AR
      P415 Edge - also piston driven
      Or Sig MCX
      Unless lubed, things will rust. Can use a dry lube though, which isn't liquid based
      Handgun:
      Glock or Masada
