Ep 546: Special Operations In Venezuela—This Wasn’t a War—It Was a Snatch
Send us a text Peaches and Trent break down the overnight U.S. operation in Venezuela that captured Nicolás Maduro and his wife—without calling it what the internet wants it to be. This wasn’t a declaration of war. It wasn’t large-scale combat operations. It was a surgical joint mission executed by Special Operations with air, naval, intelligence, and law-enforcement support. They unpack why Congress approval isn’t required, why “invasion” is the wrong word, what assets were likely involved, ...

Ep 544: Why Trainable Beats Talented Every Time
Send us a text Peaches is joined by Kris Tomes for a deep dive into what actually makes candidates successful at selection—and why trainability beats talent every time. Fresh off the Las Vegas Operator Training Summit, they break down what they’re seeing over and over: guys showing up with ego, bad habits, and internet knowledge instead of solid fundamentals. From water confidence and underwaters to running mechanics, mobility, rucking, and stress management, this episode explains why OTS isn...

Ep 543: Recruiters Aren’t Lying—You Just Don’t Understand the Job
Send us a text Peaches flies solo and tackles one of the laziest takes on the internet: “recruiters always lie.” Using UK Royal Navy ads, Air Force gyms, and real recruiter workloads, this episode breaks down why recruiting videos show the best version of the military—and why that’s not deception, it’s marketing. Peaches calls out bad-faith criticism, explains what recruiters actually juggle day to day, and reminds would-be candidates that patience, context, and ownership matter. If you think...

Ep 542: Why Local Power Beats Washington Every Time: Drew Johnson - Nevada State Treasurer Candidate
Send us a text This episode isn’t about tactics—it’s about power. Aaron sits down with Drew Johnson to break down why local government, community accountability, and individual responsibility matter more than anything coming out of Washington. From growing up poor in Appalachia to running for Nevada State Treasurer, Drew explains why big government is inefficient, innovation dies without IP protection, and national security starts at the state level. They hit mining, rare earth minerals, Chin...

Ep 541: Stolen Valor Just Hit a New Low
Send us a text This episode isn’t internet drama—it’s about honor and accountability. Peaches breaks down a disturbing stolen valor case involving Mark Forester, a U.S. Air Force Combat Controller killed in action in 2010. This isn’t résumé inflation or tough-guy storytelling—someone allegedly used altered images of a KIA hero to impersonate him online. Peaches walks through the evidence, the Forester family’s response, and why this crosses a line that cannot be ignored. If you think stolen v...

***Sneak Peek***MBRS 73: The Air Force Will Absolutely Throw You Under the Bus
Send us a text Peaches flies solo and unfiltered, taking you on a no-holds-barred ride through shady OSI tactics, the SIG M18 controversy, and why the Air Force might just toss a junior enlisted under the bus to protect billion-dollar contracts. He drags lazy PT culture through the mud, skewers the “extra 800 meters will kill us all” crowd, and asks the real question—are new policies actually helping prevent suicides, or is it just more PowerPoint theater? From dark humor to brutal honesty, t...

He rips through the latest Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force headlines, calls out public affairs stories that say nothing, breaks down AI hype in the DoD, reacts to V-22 updates, joint exercises, NATO tech, recruiting wins, Space Force moves, and why interoperability is still hard as hell.

Ep 540: Make Air Force Special Warfare Great Again? Or Are You Just High on Nostalgia
Send us a text Trent flies solo and takes a flamethrower to nostalgia—inside the military, inside Air Force Special Warfare, and inside your own head. What does “make it great again” even mean? When was it great… really? Trent breaks down why every generation swears their pipeline, their suffering, and their era was the peak—and why that thinking quietly poisons progress. From GWOT legends to pipeline myths, cadre trauma, and emotional memory, this episode is a reality check for anyone yellin...

The crew goes full send on everything from the absurd pipeline reorg memos to SEER spouses who think a YouTube comment is a call to arms. Peaches drops savage truths about military hierarchy, pipeline chaos, and why instructors are the ones always eating the crap sandwich.

Send us a text Retired Chief PJ Yo-Yo Keaton shows up and immediately proves why half the community worships him and the other half is still trying to keep up. Peaches and Trent drag him through a career of combat rescues, dumb mistakes that almost killed him, leadership hot takes, and the kind of honesty that would vaporize a modern CBT. Yo-Yo breaks down why standards matter, why mediocrity is a disease, and why today’s Airmen desperately need a reality check. He also casually admits to run...

Send us a text Aaron unloads on the Air Force Special Warfare leadership with the fury of a thousand ignored NCOs. If you're wondering why morale is in the toilet and retention’s circling the drain, look no further than the clown show running the pipeline overhaul. Instructors? Ignored. Functional managers? Ghosted. Messaging? Nonexistent. This isn’t just poor leadership—it’s sabotage disguised as progress. If you’re in charge and this episode hits a nerve… maybe that’s the point. Fix it—or g...
