In this episode we talk with Youtube personality and 2nd Amendment advocate Johnny B about firearms, freedom, and protecting our rights under the Constitution!  Johnny B talks about what being a member of the Youtube gun community (Guntubers) is like, his Second Amendment advocacy work, our freedom as Americans, and how anyone can - and should be - involved in protecting our freedom.

NOTE: The Dirt Wasp Podcast is not a political show.  However, we will necessarily discuss current U.S. politics in this episode. And, opinions are just that - opinions.  The Colonel's opinions are his own.

Sensei Ando Mierzwa of Happy Life Martial Arts joins us to discuss how "even a little martial arts makes life a whole lot better!"  Sensei Ando's approach to martial arts is philosophical without being esoteric, and our discussion certainly changed how I think about the martial arts!  Sensei Ando believes that the martial arts "style" is not as important as what a person can get out of the study of any martial art, and that the martial arts is for everyone.  Tune in and learn how martial arts can help you to "keep fighting for a happy life!"
