Speaker 2:Dude. That means a lot, man. I have very few rules where it comes to this and I tell everybody I'm a dog shit entrepreneur. The business side I just work nonstop and the one axiom I always whether it's a detriment to my own business endeavors is do good for everybody, everybody, that everybody comes across. You help them out as much as you can, more so than what you ever received, and just try to pay that forward. And, yeah, it's if. If anybody's listening from a business standpoint, they're like that's stupid. Why would you give somebody else keys to success like you're an idiot? I'm like well, I want to know that at the end of the day, I don't feel bad because I was an asshole. I don't want to be that creep that was like oh, you're a dick, like dude.

Speaker 2:I want people to come by and hang out. Um, chances are my funeral is going to be a fanfare, quite the fanfare. I'm going to use the same rules, the same language that I had in my pause packet, the wonderful piece of documentation you had to have before every deployment. I'm going to use the same thing same things I used there, unbeknownst to my wife. I'm going to use the same thing Same things I use there. I'm going to host my wife. I want the exact same sort of thing. So it'll be a very beach casual affair and I have hired a few people to show up for entertainment. Yeah, there'll be random people that show up and they will have wonderful things to say and some not so wonderful, and it's up to you, the guest, to decide if it's real or not.
Speaker 1:Figure it out Now. I'm intrigued. I want to be there. I'm going to start taking care of myself, just in hopes that I outlive you.
Speaker 2:Trent, it's not going to be that hard. Three, four years max. The amount of stress and workload I'm under. I'm not long for this earth, you just got to increase your caffeine intake.
Speaker 1:That's all it is.
Speaker 2:Let's that's how we do it, yeah, and it's brought to you by c4. Ultimate that shit. I'm gonna get sued now.
Speaker 1:I'm not sponsored by c4 it's just all press is good press right c4, you're welcome yeah, dude, somebody.
Speaker 2:Somebody hit me up in my comments like dude, your shirt's fucking awesome. I'm like at born primitive. They make amazing shit. Wish I had an affiliate code, but I don't hashtag. They don't fuck with your boy come on born primitive.
Speaker 1:Reach out, it's one email it's not that hard.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, dude, I love, uh, I love their attire. Shout out to them you know, go get some free workout wear which, by the way, shameless plug for what I'm doing. If you have a whoop strap and you're ready to get back on your fitness journey, join a project forge, an initiative that I started with the special forces foundation to get you off the couch and back to your best shape ever, and you get a chance to win some cool shit, all funded by me because I fucking care about you and your health. So, uh yeah, shameless plug what I'm doing there. If you got a whoop strap, join us. The code will be in the episode description or I'll force myself to do some editing. Here's the coat right there.
Speaker 1:First of all, I feel a little bit of attacks about the couch comment, you know what I mean. I'm sitting right here.
Speaker 2:That's one thing I realized man, for all of us, dude, like we get out, couch syndrome attacks everybody, no one's. A few guys are like fucking 100% committed, but for a lot of us they have surgeries and aches and pains. Like, oh yeah, I'll sit on the couch for a while. Before you know it, you're 340 pounds eating Haagen-Dazs, mainlining fucking candies and cakes. And then you're like, oh fuck, I don't feel good. Well, because you don't look or feel like you used to.
Speaker 1:No, bro, it's because I was in the military, not because for the last five years I've been eating like horrible stuff and not moving.
Speaker 2:I'm going to put the clip in here, but there's a video of this mom feeding her 400 pound, 16 year old kid breakfast and it's like you want four waffles. He said yeah.
Speaker 1:Have you got more sausage yeah?
Speaker 2:You want more syrup yeah.
Speaker 2:Jesus Christ, dude, you're loving that kid to death and I don't want that to happen to you. So get off the couch, go work out for a little bit. It is dude, but like fucking seeing Aaron and you guys fucking rallying the next generation of great special operations service members, dude, like that's motivating us fuck, even just for the guys like myself. Like fucking trying to achieve the body of a, you know, slightly non retarded 40 something year old man, like it is, it is empowering to see our guys back at it. So I wanted to be a part of it and encourage everybody to do it, man, because nobody wants to be a part of it. And encourage everybody to do it, man, because nobody wants to be the guy that talks about who he used to be. At least we shouldn't, we shouldn't be the guy that's like, oh, I used to be this.
Speaker 2:It's like, look, I don't want to look like the 25 year old version of me, shredded with dick skin. Like that's just not going to be me. Shredded with dick skin. Like that's just not gonna be me. Like I don't want to do that shit like revenge body is good. The only time I had like fucking shredded body was like the revenge body after deployment. Everybody, you know what I'm talking about. Yeah, I'll even put the picture of the pool. Yeah, yeah, there we go. Look at this, look at this sexy man right there. That's not ideal when you're 40, but I want to lift hard, I want to run hard, I want to do great shit, because that's not ideal when you're 40, but I want to lift hard, I want to run hard, I want to do great shit because that's the community we live in, man, and and that's something that you guys are inspiring.
Speaker 1:Dude, I think the other day you posted, um, it was uh, the um, the recent training event you guys were doing, yeah, and that shit was cool as fuck man that is fucking awesome, aaron, like post, like his body fat percentage and all of his stuff in our group chat and we're like, come on, man, like I'm just over here trying to be not injured, mostly like I don't want to be a fatty, but also like, come on, it's like nine percent body fat. He's like, yeah, 45, nine percent body fat, 200 pounds, whatever. I probably memorized that a little more than I should have not it's fine.
Speaker 2:It's fine. Neither here nor there. I don't have a full-size picture of him in my bathroom. I don't, I don't my wife. She thinks it's normal, she's uh yeah, look, some people need something different to train. I need something different.
Speaker 1:You have pre-workout. I have a picture of iron.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's the samesies oh man, dude, I want to. I want to dive into your journey, man, like I've. I've heard about aaron's, I've heard about peaches. I want to know your journey, how we got here? Like, how did you find your way into this fucking phenomenal community? I was like, look I get it. Navy seals, green berets, huge dicks, amazing.
Speaker 2:But there's a reason why some of my best friends are from the air force special operations. You guys are built different. The camaraderie is different, the brotherhood's different. Like you, take one of us out of a fight, okay. Like I can live without an 18 echo. Let it be the junior I can't live with. I can't live without my fucking cct, my tack p's, my, my pjs. Like you guys are fucking phenomenal. Like even our you know our special reconnaissance dudes. Like everybody clowns on them. But the first time I met one I was blown away by the professionalism and how fucking awesome the guy was. So like your community man. Like, if you don't get enough, like take a bow, because you guys are fucking phenomenal dude no, it's, it is one of those things where I wake up on a regular.
Speaker 1:So I was at a retirement ceremony this morning from you know, a certified, you know combat control, war hero type and uh, just the dudes. And I saw my wife when I got home. I'm like, yeah, like this dude, mike, was coming up and talking to me and like sometimes I just step back and I'm like why is this dude, my friend? You know, like how did I get to this place in life where this is like a normal interaction for me, like I'm still just me, like I'm here on accident guys, like I fell into this accident, like none of this was supposed to happen. But now it's, you know, like you know you're just friends with all these people and they're amazing humans and it.
Speaker 1:You know, one of the things I think that happens when you retire or get close to retirement or maybe should, is like I started to come on this like let's like gratitude tour. You know, like it's wild and it's there's like a green beret restaurant, uh, owned restaurant. Uh, wild, and it's there's like a green beret restaurant, uh, owned restaurant. Uh, uh, just still not distillery. What's the other one brewery, brewery in san antonio?
Speaker 1:And like it's crazy that I can walk into that place and see some of my friends on the wall the green berets and everybody else right, because everyone walking in there, the hold, all the walls are covered with all the team pictures and everybody looks the same downrange it's beards. Uh, dcus that turned into other things and as no one wanted to wear the actual digi army camo ever we never. The pants were comfortable, but they were like pajamas. They'd rip after one up but um, but it's crazy being able to walk in there and actually pick out teams that I, that I deployed with and like I know those guys and it's like man, if you're not grateful for being able to hang out in this community, I don't know what you're doing, because it's amazing.
Speaker 2:It truly is and something that I understand. We never speak of ourselves as the greatest and there's only a handful of individuals that do that, and that should be a warning sign. Like I remember having earl plumley on the show at no point did he ever speak of himself as like the great I mean, this is a medal of honor recipient. Yeah, like this dude was so humble and and this and the way he talked, the way he came across, is like it's everybody else was there, everything else, the situation, like I, I, I was able to do something insane that I'm now a recipient of this, our nation's highest military award, but that doesn't make me better than the, than the collective, and that's that's the thing that I realized. Like, okay, we need to, we need to understand and we need to all be willing to say, like man, like we serve with giants, we serve. Like the best aspects of us are, the guys are no longer here. Those are the guys that took it all the way, all the way to the fucking end, and it sucks, but the guys are still around here, are still better than me.
Speaker 2:Like, fuck, dude, like I was, uh, I was a good single mom as a warrant officer. That's, that's what I realized. Like that's I'm. I'm a good. I'm good at being a good single mom. It's not a fucking greatest thing out there. I was just a guy. I could do some spreadsheets, I could do some cool stuff, but I was a good single mom. When you see me write a book about my accolades, please shoot me in the fucking face. Like that's how that's the reality. Like the stories we share should always be highlighting the greatness around us. And yeah, like we got to be around some great people, but like I think our collective community is now seeing the repercussions of these select few guys are just made themselves larger than life and it's just like fuck it. Like some people can pass you can pass that along to some people, but eventually it's going to catch up to you, man.
Speaker 1:Well, civilians are pretty easy to fool too, you know, and they don't know, and they're just. The thing is is that most of the civilians that enable the greatest, greatest degree of that, they're trying to do the right thing. They're the, you know, there's a lot of people with a lot of money. They were like I never served and I want to give back and I want to help and I want to promote this, this. You know, this dude or people that that did these things supposedly um, and so it's, oh, it's, you know, paved with the best of intentions, and then it all blows up, like I did again recently. You know, like there's like a pile of dudes on that, that heap of of whatever. Yeah, it's like a seasonal thing. Yeah, it is like every season, it's like get your generator, get ready.
Speaker 1:It's about to be stolen valor season or it's just like guys that present themselves to be something that they are not. You know. It's like, oh, like I'm a family man and all this other stuff. It's like, oh, yeah yeah, I guess not.
Speaker 1:You know, I've been to shot show and I avoid certain parties for reasons because I'm happily married and it's a priority of mine to stay that way. And I'm not saying I'm the best looking guy or anything else like that, but like man, you got to be pretty dumb that to not realize the situations that you're putting yourself into yeah, you know, I've never, never been to shot show, but man, I've heard some stories.
Speaker 2:Um, yeah, stupid, it's like it was this like mythical thing when, when I was still active duty, like early on, like you would hear stories about like, oh, shot show's coming around, they're gonna give a select few tickets to some of the the green braids to go. I guess that was a thing I I never, never, never got grace for that, but it's like like that's such a weird thing, like that's a part of it, that's an industry, that's an industry thing.
Speaker 1:Like shot show 2026, like I don't know, dude, dude, I only went once, I'm, I'm never going back. It's, it's exhausting. There's so many people and even, just like you know, it is kind of cool because you can wander around and people recognize you every once in a while, which is awkward, but it's like, hey, cool, like because we're all there, but, dude, like some of the parties and all the you know, like just the, the, the open debauchery and the amount of money that that enables, and it's just like this is gross. You know, like that's not what I'm about. So cool, never going back.
Speaker 2:I can only imagine what Sig will be bringing to SHOT Show for 2026 body bags the Sig VR body bags, the same VR experience.
Speaker 1:Shoot your fucking dick off they're gonna come out with like a tourniquet, they're gonna be like so free, free, yeah just in case, guys. I mean, it's totally safe, it's fine, don't worry about it.
Speaker 2:It happens so many other guns. You're just not hearing about it. Oh man, yeah I am. I'm glad I got rid of all my sigs. I still have one um, which I won't be taken to the range anytime soon.
Speaker 1:It's like an annabelle doll. You like put it in like a little case. You're like don't look at it, don't look at it.
Speaker 2:It might, just won't be. Dude, every other gun I have gets taken out. You like friggin trade with dry fire, with like, take her around with that one. I'm like, and I remember the mindset too, the, the fucking mindset I had, but I mean, it's a new sidearm for for the army, I gotta buy it I'm like jeez god I gotta go there again, and there I am.
Speaker 1:But you know, the army come on like you.
Speaker 2:You should know better dude, I should have known on my fuck yeah, dude, fucking huge boner on my end, fucking nerd I was. Yeah, I gotta get the best one. The tactical edition. It comes in RMR. Fuck yeah, brother mags. Yeah, coyote tan, coyote tan, yeah yeah, fucking idiot now. Now you can't fucking sell it, you can't pawn it. It you can't pawn it. How do I know? Because, trust me, I tried. I got wind of this shit early on. I was like, alright, I'm going to get rid of this.
Speaker 1:I don't know what a budsgunscom to buy a Denny's Sig. There it is.
Speaker 2:Just going to shoot myself in the dick. One of these days, my memory's gonna get the best of me. I'm gonna forget about it. I'm gonna do some training. Just got into rage.
Speaker 1:That's how you go that would be the worst oh my god, dude.
Speaker 2:But yeah, you know you're um, you guys are huge and the fact that you do get recognized like that's got to be a trip, right, yeah yeah, it's uncomfortable, like I'm not, I'm not good at it.
Speaker 1:it's because aaron and I were talking about this the other day and we we went out to like a beach training event that was put on by like the, the air force recruiters. Yeah, at the end of it. So aaron and I were like the special guests or whatever. We ran them through some exercise, we were out there with them and at the end of it, so Aaron and I were like the special guests or whatever. We ran them through some exercise and we were out there with them and at the end of it we did kind of like a Q and a. You know like gave her a little speeches.
Speaker 1:There's a giant group of kids not kids, you know, young people looking and thinking about joining the air force, and we're like you may have any questions and they're like no, and we like turn around and walk back to the hotel. We were at dinner and Aaron like looks up and he's like those kids probably wanted pictures with us and I was like oh man, that didn't even occur to me, you know cause, I'm just me. You know, like we're still just dudes. It takes so long, it's taken us so long to like figure out that, like maybe someone wants pictures. Like if I'm downtown San Antonio and someone recognizes me, my wife is like, do you want a picture? You know? Like because I'll forget, or or I'm socially uncomfortable anyway, because it's just a weird situation. But yeah, uh, yeah, so it's, it's a good thing, right, because it is. I could complain about it, but I I actively do it to to make it happen I will tell you.
Speaker 2:I'm bringing in metrics right now because I want to brag on you guys. It is rewarding to see good people reach insane success. You guys have a listen score of 55 and you have a global ranking of 0.5 percent. What does that mean? It means that out of the millions of podcasts because they every, even if they haven't been taken down, they still get up, still get measured you guys have the same impact and same reach as some is like some of the bigger fucking podcasts out there that we, we talk about and and they make all the fucking headlines on social media. Fucking podcasts out there that we talk about and they make all the fucking headlines on social media and that is insane. On a good note, like, you're right up there with softcast. Actually, you're higher than softcast.
Speaker 1:Yeah, suck it, softcast yeah, fuck you guys, I wish you hadn't told me like in my mind it is still. You know like, you know how, like in my mind it's still just like a thing that I get together with on saturday and sometimes sunday mornings with my bros and we chit, chat and we get to meet cool guests and it's like the numbers become meaningless. You know, like your first like 5 000 subscribers or whatever, we're like holy crap, bro, that's amazing. And now it's whatever it's at. But I don't think about it, you know like that's why you're so fucking awesome.
Speaker 2:That's why like about it. You know like. That's why you're so fucking awesome. That's why like. That's why it's they say that when you lose the, the love for it, and you start worrying about the ad revenue, you're worried about the proper placement of I gotta put this in front of the camera so the sponsors see it like it kills it. And when you no longer have the authentic interaction between the co-hosts, that also kills the show. But from like day one, the thing that's awesome about you guys is you haven't lost that. When you tune in to listen or watch, you have the same interactions and it's not like you can clearly see like, like.
Speaker 2:I love the guys from gosh. What's workaholics great show but that's not who you're getting when you're listening to them on a show anymore. They're way too fucking big and Hollywood and all that. It's not the individuals and it's not the characters. You're not a character. Peaches isn't a character. You're not a character. Peaches isn't a character. Aaron isn't a character. You're getting the same authentic people that you would actually meet in person on the podcast and I think that resonates not only with the wider audience but for those young men that are wanting to get into this career field. They know that, oh shit, like they're talking just like me and my friends talk like this is doable. There's a lot of special operators out there and prior military guys that when they get on a podcast it's not the same, it's you got to get real close to the mic.
Speaker 1:Gotta get close to the mic let me tell you something.
Speaker 2:I wake up at 2 am. Every fucking morning I wake up. I look at that picture of me and bennett samuel bin lad say not today. And the reason being is because every day I get up I kill him. Yeah, no, not physically, but every day I wake up and I make the mind connection that I'm killing him. I have to see that enemy, I have to get in there. I got to put myself in that mindset. You know, 2 am comes, I got to be ready to kill him.
Speaker 1:Wow, my Krav Maga.
Speaker 2:It's brought to you by Tasty Gains, best creatine out there.
Speaker 1:Dude, they sent me a bunch of stuff. I think Tasty Gains is one of our sponsors. Now I'm fucking with your money.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, dog.
Speaker 1:It's fine. It's funny because we saw one of the YouTube videos of some British dude going through creatine gummies and being like this doesn't actually have creatine in it. So we were like, hey guys, can you send us the lab reports on the creatine gummies to make sure they actually have creatine in them? I mean, I like them, but this is one of those things that shows up at the door and you're like yeah, okay, your life, yeah, Okay, yeah, it's come to find out, it's 100% come so is it non human, because?
Speaker 2:shit. That's why the texture is so gummy we only accept pandas, okay.
Speaker 1:Oh, my God dude, I don't know if you know how famous, I am but if this is koala, I swear no no, uh, you have to understand something.
Speaker 2:Do want to know the origin story, man. I do want to know the origin story. How did all this begin for you guys?
Speaker 1:I like to go back to the beginning. Actually, the guy whose retirement was today it's his fault and I always remind him of it that I I do anything on camera because I was. I was just like everybody else. Remember, like you know, like early GY, like I joined in 03, first deployment 06, what yada, yada, but it's like very much no internet, no social media. We're all secret squirrels, blah, blah, blah and um and I, I get in 2015, I get stationed in San Antonio and uh, so I was a weather guy. Then it became sr, we were gray berets. So I'm like when I say gray hat, I mean myself and it's a very, very small career field, so there's only so many gray hats around.
Speaker 1:And this guy, who's a uh stow, a special tactics officer he was. He was kind of like leading the charge on this commercial that we were making, um, and he comes up to me. He's like trent, I, uh, I need to be in this commercial and I was like, come on, dog, like I don't do that, and he's like but you're the guy, like you're gonna, we're gonna put you on camera. So he talked me into it and so that was the kind of like the genesis of me being comfortable or like I had no choice after that, like my name, my rank, my job, me talking on camera for a commercial that did fairly well, um, that went out everywhere. Um, so like I was like okay. So then the recruiter started to come to me. They're like, ah, like people have questions about this stuff, can you do like a facebook live thing? And I'm like fine, this was. But it got me into like that mindset of like recruiting and looking into that stuff. And, um, so, uh, there were four of us originally, um b, aaron, jared and myself.
Speaker 1:So Brian called me one day and he was already doing this PJ thing and I'd been on his thing once how to be a PJ and all that. And after we did that he was like, dude, you want to just do a podcast? I have a controller and another PJ that already said yes. And I was like you know, like okay, I couldn't think of a good reason not to. And I wanted to put some correct messaging out there Because, like you said, everybody knows Green Berets, seals, rangers, the Marines, marsoc.
Speaker 1:People probably don't understand the difference between, like Recon, marines, marsoc and the Marines. Necessarily it gets a little muddy. But I wanted people to know, because I wanted, uh, I, I the career field had given me so much. Like I said, I was here on accident, it was. I was at that point in my career where I had open eyes, I understood the opportunities that were in front of me, I was starting to understand the people that I was associating with, and so I felt like not only was it a good idea, but I felt a responsibility, uh to to get out there and, you know, do my part.
Speaker 2:Fuck yeah.
Speaker 1:So yeah, so it ended up just being the three of us. But yeah, now it's just, I get to talk to my two best friends every weekend, and that's awesome.
Speaker 2:You make it sound so fucking horrible.
Speaker 1:My life is. I don't know If this comes across. I try to be like a little bit of sarcasm. I try to bring a little bit of my like cadre, uh persona to uh, to the podcast every once in a while. But man, I'm, like uh, just a pretty happy-go-lucky guy. Things work out for me. And even if they don't work out, then like that wasn't meant to be so, like why worry about it? Let's move forward. You know, like who cares?
Speaker 2:that's the exact attitude you need for any fucking pipeline, any sort of selection. I constantly like have people on the inbox like I didn't understand it too, because like the whole thing, the whole mission I set on to, is talk about mental health, highlight, recovery, transition, but people I never. I just underestimated, you know, putting that up there and then putting what I used to do, because young man will find that and they'll ask how did I get to selection, what work do I need to do? What should my two mile time be? And it's like fuck, what are the best boots for selection, bro? I listened to that episode where the guy was talking about being addicted to crack cocaine while he was in the military, anyways.
Speaker 1:Seven Troop is wild. I'm just saying Seven Troop. Anyways, how should I? Seven Group is wild. I'm just saying Seven Group is a wild place. The.
Speaker 2:Cowboys Segway into the recent interview of Hunter Biden while he was just zooted out of his mind on coke. Weird, holy shit, that interview.
Speaker 1:I mean, he just leaves that stuff lying around, you know his eyeballs in that interview, like who let that man on?
Speaker 2:who let that man on? I digress back to the previous uh question and situation. Yeah, the guys are always asking like what I need to do as far as workouts and it's like, dude, you need to work on your mindset and the ability to say like, okay, today was a bad day, tomorrow's gonna be better. I gotta move forward. Like the amount of people I've met that self-selected well, I did bad on this, so I just I, I I'm gonna go. Like they didn't come talk to you, dog, I just keep going. I would just keep moving like don't pull you out, don't self-select so.
Speaker 1:So even to become a south tea back in the day special operations weather guy was super, super easy. But like I had people because I had to be regular weather first before I could cross over I had people in the military telling me that they didn't think that I was what the special operations community was looking for. And so if you don't already have it in your head, if you haven't already made that decision and you're willing to take that kind of ridiculous input, then yeah, go ahead and self-select out. Because like they're like oh well, you're skinny, you're like 150 pounds, blah, blah, blah. I don't think that. You know, I don't have tattoos.
Speaker 1:At the time I didn't even cuss. You know, like I was a real boy scout. Uh, on the outside, on the inside, it was a different story. Um, but you know what I mean, but like I would. But have people be like I don't think you're, you know what they mean, but like I would. Have people be like I don't think you're, you know what they're looking for. Come to find out they were all wrong, you know, and I'm not like the golden child.
Speaker 2:I wasn't like amazing, but like I was enough of what they were looking for to stick around for 20 years career devoted to the special you know, devoted to the Air Force, devoted to our military, to our, to our American citizens, being of service to a great nation.
Speaker 1:And you're still serving, but you're still doing something that is promoting great ideals and helping guys achieve their dreams. Is that lost on you? I get kind of. I mean, I, I want to give people the opportunity of choice. You know, um, the there are folks that would probably make better pararescue guys than green berets, you know.
Speaker 1:And if just giving them more options, where, when that thing happens, where it speaks to you like when I got that briefing from that dude in the gray hat and I'm like instantly fell in love with another man and wanted to do that thing, when I got that briefing from that dude in the gray hat and I'm like instantly fell in love with another man and wanted to do that thing and made up my mind in that moment that that's what I wanted to do. You know what I mean? Like, yeah, I was like you hear the thing and you're like boom, like I was supposed to do that, like that's my path, I'm going to do that moment. It's it's. You know, if you say no, it's like people will be like oh, hey, then listen to the podcast. I decided to become, you know, a ranger. Instead, we're like hell, yeah, brother.
Speaker 2:Yeah, cool, they're apologizing. Dear Trent, aaron and Peaches, after successfully listening to all seasons at every episode, I must confess I will not be going into the Air Force Special Operations Pipeline. Instead, I will be going into the Army as an 88 Mike. For a long time I've loved mechanics. I have loved engines, combustion and torque. Hey, cool man, you don't owe anybody, that's, it's fine, that's fine.
Speaker 1:I don't care if you join the air force. You don't even try out for special warfare. I don't care. Like do something that you want to do, dude, like chase that thing that when you hear it it sounds like and it feels like the thing that you're supposed to do, which sounds like woo, woo and all that other stuff. But I'm a big believer in when the moment happens in your life and you feel the pull, don't say no, don't, don't say no, like it's going to be scary. It's supposed to be scary, otherwise you know it wouldn't be worth anything. But just just do it and don't listen to all the other crap and don't worry about your bad workouts, don't worry about any of that stuff. Don't worry about how you don't have enough money to buy the running shoes that you want or whatever else. Just go do it, make it happen.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not enough people are talking about that, not enough people are championing that idea to our young men. And, yeah, young women, I get it, but I specifically say young men, because that's who we need to rely on, large, largely, when it comes to these career fields, when it comes to combat and and fuck man, like we live in a in a world right now that the vast majority of your media, of the people that have an audience, are telling you that being a driven, hard charging young man is, is bad, toxic masculinity, you're not needed, we don't want you. We want you to be docile. And it's like, fuck dude, like push away from the safety of home, push away from the harbor. Like I feel so bad that both my nephews like they're young men and they're not like one of them decided to join up and before he enlisted, he, he asked me, he's like oh, what, what should I do for special operations? I'm like, well, you shouldn't unless it's something you really want to do and if you're really committed to that, really honestly, seek out the guidance of your family and the closest people in your life and ask them what they really think about you. If they say that you're selfish, if they say that you're not mature, if they say that you're selfish, if they say that you're not mature, if they say that you can't be counted on, like those will be hard things to listen to or they should be. There should be hard critiques. Then you should ask yourself what you're going to do in order to right those wrongs and then start working on those attributes.
Speaker 2:First, to be dependable, to be a person of integrity. Work on that. You're 18. You can work on that. It's not too late. Then enlist, and don't enlist into a career field that's safe. Don't go into S1. And I'm not trying to bash people in the administrative fields. They still create great human beings and great leaders. But what I'm saying is like if we could just empower and give people the idea that they can achieve more and at least give plant that seed in their head, we're going to get great people, no matter where they go. My nephew did the complete opposite of that. He went National Guard and went S1 and cried and was a complete, worthless piece of shit, just horrible to even be.
Speaker 2:No kidding dude. Yeah, I'm deployed. You're in Kuwait, you're inside deployment, it's not the same, not the same. So yeah, by and large he is um a fucking chode, but um, hey, I guess, guess we need more of those love you and all your chode chode friends yeah, he immediately did like everything. You're not supposed to got a girl knocked up, fucking wet s1. He complains about fucking bc yeah he does, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's uh. Wherever you are, I hope life's not good for you bud but like if.
Speaker 1:But here's the thing, though, is if. If he was like, hey, man, I'm gonna join the national guard, I have a plan, like I'm gonna get, like uh, my degree in like hr. So you know, like yeah, if it, if it was what he wanted to do and he wasn't complaining about it, we'd be like hell, yeah, dude. And like you're gonna retire as like either a general, you're gonna get out and go to school and go on to great things because you're driven in a direction. But if you choose the safe path and you have the itch for more, then don't just sit around and complain about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, don't be that guy. Don't be that guy. Strive for greatness, do something. And the thing about that is you'll be around better people. You'll be around people that are driven, driven that can help you reach your highest potential. Nobody gets there on their own. Like everybody's a product of the people that are around like. That's why, if you hang around with dirt bags, you're gonna eventually be a dirt bag like who wants to be the coolest dude amongst a bunch of fucking chodes, like king chode. Fucking boner dude.
Speaker 1:Like get out of there, do something with your life and and it's not like a better than thing, right, because when I was like in the regular weather career field, like some of those dudes are dark and folks are wicked smart and they love doing like the conventional weather mission, and it's not that I'm better than them, I just didn't fit there and I knew I didn't fit there, right. Like I have different interests, like it's not that I can do weather or I could at one point, but I also want to run, I also want to shoot, I also want to jump out of planes. Uh, you know, I want to do all those other things. That doesn't make me better than them, but like it's all the people that deny that they're like. No, like I don't think that I'm the type of guy. Like dude, stop labeling yourself. If that's what you want, why would you label yourself in the negative of what you want? That's the dumbest thing yeah, dude it's I get all amped up, bro.
Speaker 2:I know I like that you amp each other's. We're not amping anybody up. I want you to be amped up. I want you guys to be just as worked up as we are right now so much caffeine in here right now so much C4. I still got another workout to do, trying to get the air and bod by um by christmas. Yeah, it's a lot, dude's just fucking shredded. He's like fuck, he's got the dorito dorito ratio.
Speaker 1:The waist to the waist, chest to waist ratio is just fucking you got to get on the group chat because he'll tell you about it too. He's like I went to the gym today, uh, noticed you guys didn't post about going to the gym in the group chat, so so I'm fitter than you, even more fit than you are now.
Speaker 2:Bro, I'm telling you, I am telling you we need to come up with a ones ready Christmas calendar. Hear me out, it's just Aaron.
Speaker 1:He's just going to be an elf, like for December.
Speaker 2:Just Aaron, but he's cosplaying as everybody.
Speaker 1:This is peaches aaron.
Speaker 2:This is trent with a weather balloon but it still does aaron with his shirt off. Oh my god, dude. So what do you do like? All right, so we? One thing that I I realized recently is like I don't have the ability to throttle back and I like burnout is a real thing. Like how do you guys manage all the work and still get in quality time? Like what do you do for yourself, man?
Speaker 1:uh, well, we're like a good team, you know, and everybody, everybody has like different levels of of me time that they need and at different times, and we all kind of bring different things to the team. I bring the least amount to the team, obviously, but we call we call Jared G Jared because he's a workaholic. He's like. He's like I want to do the editing, I want to do all this other stuff. It's like, hey man, like at a certain point we should probably hire an editor so we can just record content and send it to them.
Speaker 1:But jared has I shouldn't, I shouldn't tell everybody. Jared has it in his mind at some point that he's not going to be a guy on camera. But we're like dude, people love you way too much for you to just turn into like the background guy. Uh, this doesn't work without you, uh, but he's like so, like humble, and he's like you know and it's whatever, um, but then, like aaron is also like very much, he's a very creative and like the digital space, like he's good at, like all that other stuff I'm like the good idea fairy sometimes and I I kind of like wax and wane with my level of of participation and like the social medias and all that other stuff.
Speaker 1:But uh, um, you know, like we all, we all play our part and it just it's just so happened that we are just a great team. Like one of the huge advantages that we have is we are a team of dudes doing a podcast and if somebody's like, hey man, I can't make it to this next recording, one of us will just step up and be like, oh no, no, I'm gonna be there. So like, don't worry about it, just don't show up. Um, and so you know, if you do feel overwhelmed or whatever, none of the guys on the ones ready team were like it's like, hey man, I'm taking this week and I'm hanging out with my wife and my kids. You know, we've just been real busy. None of us are like, oh, you piece of crap. You know, like this podcast is everything in our lives.
Speaker 2:Like don't listen to me lying on you yeah, like no, it's not.
Speaker 1:It's not the end of the world, and so the ones ready manager.
Speaker 2:I hate to tell you this, but uh, you got to show up. Contractually You're obligated, yeah.
Speaker 1:And we're not like, oh, the metrics go down if we don't. Whatever, man, we kind of do what we want to do. So, man, like I think we're all busier now that we're retired, we all still got we. We were like, hey, man, we're going to get out, we're all just going to record content and make this, see if it can actually make enough money to support us, right? Well, the problem is we all kind of got out at different times and I think Aaron was the first one to get a regular job. I goofed off for a little bit and then I got a job on accident and Jared went right back to working where he was working. So, like we have regular jobs, we still do the podcast. You know, we have all these other adventures and and hustles that we're doing, um, so we're all super busy, but like it's a lot of fun. So and that's another thing as long as it's fun, it's. I think burnout is a lot further down the road if you're having a good time dude, how did you?
Speaker 2:how did you?
Speaker 1:accidentally get a job. So I wasn't so when I retired. It's funny because, like every once in a while someone will come up to me like hey man, like I'm coming up close to retirement, like what should I do? And I'm like hold, hold up, I'm not the guy to ask. It looks like I did things because it all worked out for me, but that is not how it should have gone. Like I said, my life just works out, got out, I didn't do. I didn't create a resume, I didn't really skill bridge the correct way. I don't have a degree because I enlisted, because I hate college. So I never understood everybody like, oh, you should go get a bachelor's and all these other things. We had a guy like going for his mba on the podcast the other day and I'm just like that's great for you, but like it's not for me. Like, um, anyway, um, I was in training for a long time.
Speaker 1:I spent over half my career on the training side. I helped stand up the first South T pipeline. I helped stand up the special reconnaissance pipeline and when we built our prep course I was the curriculum guy for that. So like understanding the training environment and the way that we do training in the Air Force and, specifically, you know, certain types of training I have a really good handle on, accidentally Right, like it's just what I did and I ended up being like the lead training guy when I retired out of the training headquarters. So there's this company that was doing some contract work for the for like basic training and a few other things for the Air Force. They didn't have any military guys on their staff.
Speaker 1:One of my old teammates, who I'm, you know, first deployment together type guys you know what I mean Like we have some fun experiences he's best friends with one of the co-owners of the company. So this dude calls my buddy and he's like, hey, we need some help. We think we might need a military guy, but my buddy had already gotten a different job. He's like and really who you should be talking to is trent, because he's in san antonio anyway where all that stuff's happened. So he just called me up. They're like, hey, do you, do you need a job? Like can you help us out? And I'm like I'll go see if I can provide value. Like I don't know, really know what you guys are doing. So it just jumped all the way in the deep end, like things started to go really well and then they offered me full time and I'm like here's my number.
Speaker 1:They're like overwhelmingly positive, I think, about most things. But we do point out, you know, and that's what, what hits the chains of command up to the pentagon is anytime we like point out things that are not right. Uh, we get a lot of attention. So, like I I interact with some of those chains of command that that might be sensitive to some of those things. So I try to keep them very separate, you know. So I don't, I don't say it. Yeah, only fans. I'll tell you, on only fans for the ride. It's just my feet and my busted toenails from rucking.
Speaker 2:Give it 10 more years, I swear there's going gonna be a military division for only fans. Geez, dude, it's everywhere, dude, everywhere, every single person. Oh my gosh, it's yeah. What. What are we doing? Like? Why? Why is this a thing like? Why is it like the top out of the top 15 millionaires in this country, like eight of them, are from only yes yeah, well, I mean, that's where the money's at.
Speaker 1:Stop beating off, stop it's not good for you go outside also be like I can't afford anything, it's like, but you're spending a lot of money on this person that you don't know, just to see them in different states of attire, I guess, like I don't know just do another, but instacarting.
Speaker 2:Fucking yeah, red bulls talkies.
Speaker 1:But it's just sad. It's like is that, is that where you want to be in life, you know like yeah, as a young man, is that what you want?
Speaker 2:and that's what I love about you guys. Like you don't just talk about it, you're doing it and you're helping inspire like greatness, like, and like and I know everybody within our career fields like it's difficult and it's hard to like hear praise for what we're doing.
Speaker 1:It's no joke man.
Speaker 2:What you guys are doing is you're directly fighting back against this idea that we can't aspire to be great. Like within. When guys find your page, when they find this to be their calling, when they reach out and they're joining you for one of these live events, they're making a commitment to not only to themselves and their country like try to be better. Like the greatest thing is you're showing them that there's a better way to life. There's no room for that shit to just numb out and exist, and that's what a large part of all this digital shit is like. If we don't want this to take over, we have to help amplify and support and promote good quality content that's helping change and drive a different narrative. Like this whole fucking weird space that we find ourselves, where all we're doing is glorifying just that, that self-gratification. It's like no man like life's about testing yourself, life's about going after something difficult and and sucking and persevering should have chose different words from trying to creategrade OnlyFans.
Speaker 1:Just fucking persevering.
Speaker 2:Just fucking getting down there and sucking it, man.
Speaker 1:How do you think I'm 87, you know Science. That's by persevering, obviously.
Speaker 2:That's how I developed grit. You see that in the back A lot of dudes in those career fields.
Speaker 2:It's very competitive it's only one way of getting ahead in this world. Uh, but it's true, man. Like we have to show the next generation of great dudes that like, hey, you could sit in your parents basement and numb out for the rest of your life, or you can commit yourself to doing something greater and and trying to achieve something great. And there's no room for all the stupid bullshit on this other side. Come, try to do this trump.
Speaker 1:Try, just fucking try, man, just give it a shot well, I think the big thing is is there's no such thing as failure if you're trying yeah, you know, and and it's, it's like I said, I don't care where you end up. I care that you you pushed, I cared that you did try, I care that you're trying to become a better human. Like we all, we've all got our roles to play and like the big thing we talk about regret is hell Right, and that's the reason that resonates. The reason people buy that flag is because you know that in your bones that at some point you will be on your deathbed and you'll be looking around and either your kids will be there, they won't be there. You know like you'll be looking at your wife, or you won't be looking at your wife. You'll be, like you know, reliving.
Speaker 1:You know your, your highlight reel. Uh, and I think about that like in a youtube sense, like since, if, if I showed you your highlight reel of your life right now, would you be disappointed? And if so, like that should motivate you to go out there and take some chances. And if not, even if you're not successful, at least it would be funny. It would be you falling on your face over and over again, but at least it wouldn't be nothing yeah, it just wouldn't be.
Speaker 2:You and your fucking parents basement just fucking giving your dick.
Speaker 1:Skin rug burns for fucking, for the 50th time, or like my nightmare would be. Like imagine being the person that just listened to other people the whole time. I've talked to people that have gone through some of these problems where it's like, well, my parents think like I did everything right in school, I went to college, I commissioned, like I'm doing all the right things, like I'm investing my money and I'm miserable, like why am I miserable? And it's like because you got the itch. Dude. Because the itch is not scratched by money. The itch is not scratched by sitting in a cubicle. The itch is not scratched by long-term success and like check out my portfolio. The itch is scratched by doing things that terrify you, that are scary, that bring you real satisfaction, by overcoming legitimately difficult things and and men need that.
Speaker 2:They require that it's adventure man living a life that has some something of value, something to look back on. Like one of the greatest movies. I love fucking. When people have seen it, they understand the importance of it. Uh, walter mitty, the I mean it's an underrated, criminally underrated, but the dude has a huge problem with daydreaming and it's a ben stiller playing the, the main character, and all he's doing is just daydreaming his life away at a shitty job, just daydreaming life away, and then finally he goes on an epic fucking adventure and that's what you're. You're.
Speaker 2:You can get that by just enlisting, but you can have a great, wonderful adventure. That could be the catalyst. It doesn't have to stop once you get out of the military. You can continue having that, that wonderful adventure and continue doing it. But the key to it, it has to start. It has to start at some point and that's something that I think your podcast, your videos and and the discussions you have uh, all three of you is helping a lot of young men realize that, because it's one thing to read about, it's one thing to listen, but when you dial in and you see what you can become, when you can see it right through that video. You can see an air and you can see a train, you can see a peach itaches like holy shit, like this is fucking awesome yeah, even if you don't like peaches and you do something that that's very refreshing.
Speaker 2:You don't dive into the muck and the flavor of the day of shitting on on things, which is like I could get 2 million views just to make a 30 minute video shitting on the guy to fucking shit on for the day, whether it's valid or not valid, but what's the fucking value in it? What's the fucking value in it?
Speaker 1:We're not making anything better that way Like there's, there's like the initial, like people should not be profiting off certain things, and I get it. But once it's done, it's like now you're just now, you're just chasing fame or numbers or whatever.
Speaker 2:It's stupid. And then and then the, the there's. There's the, the core person that brings up the grievance, and maybe two or three valid. They've studied it, they're understanding what they're talking about. Do we need the fifth, the sixth, the seventh, the eighth, the ninth, the 20th fucking person diving into negativity and and an echo chamber of guys are already suffering and people are already suffering looking to rally and and shit on something, some more like no, that's what I love about you guys, you've never been about that and you continue like when you call something out, it's directly in line with something that needs to change. It needs to be addressed, not something from pop culture or a figure like look, I like alex jones, but if I sat in my office and just fucking sat in that headspace, I probably wouldn't be here.
Speaker 2:I probably would be here because all I'm seeing there's like more fucking negative shit, more sad shit, and we need to combat it. And, by the way, we can do it right now, in this day and age, by putting good shit out there and sticking to what we're good at. Sticking to, like promoting good informational shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1:Well, and change is possible, Right, and that's I try sometimes. I'll get on there and I'll be like I'll get on there and I'll be like I'm just going to burn this, this dude, to the ground, and I can't do it Like it's. Like I'm like, do you know, what the best thing would be is, even if I'm calling somebody out or I'm I'm giving advice to like a one of the air force organizations that we think messed up, or something. It's like hey guys, you have the opportunity to change your direction, like it's not too late to change, and I think that that's one of those was like there's no such things.
Speaker 1:The illusion of permanence, you know, gets everybody, and who you are today is not who you have to be tomorrow, and all that other stuff, and whether that's your organization, with sitting inside of it sometimes especially the military well, maybe not especially, but like you're seeing that these giant bureaucratic organizations you're like, well, this is just the way it is, that's. That's categorically false. There's no such thing as permanent, because we're humans and we can make changes. So there you go.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, man, dude. That's, that's the truth. Yeah, and you gotta have hope, man. Like, one of the greatest things I ever learned was relating bad leaders and bad situations to like being being on a wave, like you're riding a highway wave, good leadership, and then it crashes down. Now you're just like fucking, you're sucking and you're having a bad day, a bad week, bad month, leadership, shit. And it's like look man, everything has a timeline, even these guys. Figure out your happy place, figure out how to fucking get positive and know that these guys are going to be out of office. They're going to move, they're going to freaking, get the next position. The next guy will come and they're fucking, you'll ride a high, you'll get back on there. Get back on your fucking surfboard and ride another great wave.
Speaker 1:Like things will get better there's so much opportunity for creativity when you have a bad leader like in charge of like a squadron or an organization to see what you can get away with you know, like, like find me a worthy opponent, you know, to see what you can get away with. You know like, find me a worthy opponent, you know, to see what I can get away with.
Speaker 2:You can do it, yeah look for the good in it in every situation, except for General Barr. Fine, that guy, except for that guy. Yeah, no, that's rough, that dude. I had an encounter with that guy. How and why I should have had an encounter with that guy makes no fucking sense. You see, I'll wrap it up with this story, all right, how much I I dislike? Well, we're not on one's ready, so I can say this, and this is not reflective view of anybody on one's ready tony, I love you.
Speaker 1:I'm saying just me, like you're not overweight at all, tony. This is not reflective of the one's ready opinions you're?
Speaker 2:you're a fat, sloppy, garbage human being. I went to korea as an e7 star in first class, denny caballero, with two other green braves from seventh group. We got ordered to go there to support sock core, to support seven special forces group following. They had a mission. We went there to train with Korean partners because at the time, in the first Trump administration, there was a big feeling that Rocket man was going to get fucking. You know he was going to try to get crazy. So we went there. This dude pulls us into his office. Mind you, we're E7s and one of our guys is an e6. We are not officers. We don't have great strategic under like. We have our orders, we have our understanding, we have our guidance, we have our mission. This is what we're doing here. This man is an all-powerful, all-knowing senior officer. He knows, while we're there, this dude has us in his office for like over an hour just berating us as to why we're there and eventually I'm just like I didn't. I didn't make this decision, I didn't buy a plane ticket to fly here.
Speaker 1:I was told hey dude, you see the word on the top, it's called orders. These are called orders. These are stripes. They say I do.
Speaker 2:Like I don't know what you expect out of this. Like you're right, I'm about to pack my bags, I'm going to leave. It's just like just fucking sitting here, like flexing his chubby fucking cheeks, and just like fucking sitting there, like he had such a protruding ballet dude it was. I'm like do you, do you not do like PT test dog? Like this is like big old country, big. For the rest of the time they were just big country, big country.
Speaker 1:How did you spell country. Just a question.
Speaker 2:I know, I know the answer yeah, yeah, seeing that dude take his um walk of shame, that was nice. I was like, bro, like I don't know what to tell you here, like I'm having a good time. Kimchi's good, korean barbecue's awesome. Like if you have any problems, you can take that out of my boss. He always went out of his way to be a complete arrogant fuck. I'm like, bro, chill, it's Korea.
Speaker 1:How about you call your army counterpart like my boss's boss's boss's boss and you discuss this with them?
Speaker 2:All the things he said he wasn't going to allow us to do. You're not going to use my equipment for you and the very next day, like he was in red side to send everything up, hi, is this computer open? We're going to do it. Yeah, sorry, thanks, big country. And he's a real sweetheart. You know what I mean. He's the fucking worst man. I hope he's a real sweetheart. You know what I mean. He's uh, he's the fucking worst man, I hope. I hope he's fucking miserable. I just I hope someday he's as fat as ben stiller at the end of um fucking uh, dodgeball. Oh geez, yeah, dude, just thinking about that we're making me about now.
Speaker 2:I'll put it up here, maybe.
Speaker 1:I would also be miserable if I was like 50 pounds overweight. You know, just carrying it around every day knowing I don't need to, because I could just stop shoving crap in my mouth.
Speaker 2:I could just make a decision, big country, how about this? Right now, join our team and I will send you some fitness products. I will send you some fitness products, I will send you some protein, I will send you some pre-workout and I'll put you in the running for a free concept to roar. That's right, that's what you'll be entered to win this come in august, if you join our whoop team for project forge, a special initiative, I put together the special forces foundation to help you get off the couch and get better, because if we can improve our physical fitness, we can improve our mental fitness. That's what we're here for because, ladies and gentlemen, contrary to popular belief, no one's coming to save you. Still, qrf, it's just us, just the team One's ready Security Hall, all your friends that you put together in your little virtual LGOP, little groups of paratroopers.
Speaker 2:That's how we're going to get out of this fight. That's how we're going to help curb and hopefully end veteran suicide by sticking together and doing the things that work. One of the easiest things we can do is just get up and work out whether it's a walk, a jog, going to the gym for a bro workout or go to that CrossFit gym and trying that out for a little bit. I mean, I won't make fun of you. I'll be there to support you. I want you to be here. I want you to stay here. Why? Because this country is only going to improve if we can keep more veterans involved. If we can get you better, we can get you fitter. Then maybe you can take up more responsibility. Maybe you'll be willing to join your local community and help serve on student council anywhere. Do anything that can give our veterans more responsibility to help turn the tide of what we're seeing in this country, which is a lot of lackluster leadership.
Speaker 2:You know, I don't want to see the next few years of our country continue going the way it is. It's awesome for memes, but it's horrible for our mental health and for our spirit decor. So join us in the Project Force Challenge. Be willing to get out, and every month I'm going to be giving something away until I'm bankrupt. Or my wife says stop it. And uh, ladies and gentlemen, she hasn't told me to stop yet. Wish there was a joke to make about that. My wife outranks me, so I won't say anything more because she's still in I can't I can't thank you enough for being here, man.
Speaker 1:It's been a blast dude, yeah, I appreciate it. Been watching your stuff for a long time and you're a legend bro.
Speaker 2:Dude. Thank you so much, man. It truly means a lot. I started this thing to help our boys and gals and I continue to do this because I know, at least to those out there suffering and going through it, at least the memes and maybe a couple tidbits I say here and there resonates.
