In this episode, Jordan and Andrew sit down with Zach from Panther City Tactical for a candid conversation about building a small firearms-industry business from the ground up. Zach talks about how PCT accidentally grew from a few safety selectors into a full paint warehouse, what it takes to survive in a crowded market, and why reinvesting everything back into the business is both necessary and exhausting.

They get into SHOT Show chaos, photography, product decisions, burnout, and the pressure to stay visible online while still trying to have a real life. The episode shifts between gun-culture shop talk, honest business lessons, and the kind of friendship-banter that only happens when everyone’s running on fumes and still trying to make something meaningful.

Comedian Geoffrey Asmus joins Jordan and Andrew for a chaotic, brutally honest, and surprisingly thoughtful episode that covers everything from dark humor and 9/11 jokes to AI ethics, generational brain rot, and nuclear power. They talk about the weird line between what’s “offensive” and what’s just true, conservatives taking over cancel culture, Trump burgers, and why it’s possible to be pro–free market but still hate what capitalism has become. Geoffrey shares why he won’t own a gun (yet), how not wearing headphones changed his mental health, and what happens when you make a 9/11 joke in Long Island.

It’s part social commentary, part therapy session, part stand-up set. If you’ve ever wanted to hear three guys laugh through existential dread, this one’s for you.

A lot of people are tired of hearing “a few bad apples” when the problem feels built into the system itself. This episode does not defend that system. It asks why we still train people to fail. Former cop turned instructor Bill “Braski” joins Jordan and Andrew to talk about what really makes policing dangerous, from bad leadership and weak standards to the lack of accountability until someone dies on camera. They dig into how real training in grappling, communication, and medical skills could prevent the violence we keep seeing, and why “defund” does not have to mean “do nothing.” They also talk about bodycams, ACAB, community safety outside of law enforcement, and what self-defense means when no one is coming to save you.
