SPEAKER_02: 0:44

Dude, I'm a dog shit entrepreneur. I say it all the time, but dude, at some point, you should be like, all right. New name. Let's let's just change the name.

SPEAKER_05: 0:54

Dude, you can do you can do a DBA. You can keep the name, never change any of your bank stuff, but you're now you're doing business as black company or whatever.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21

How you been, dude? Oh man. Good, dude. Dude, you've been missed. You've been busy. You've been fucking crushing it. And crushing.

SPEAKER_05: 1:31

I'm getting crushed. That's like there's there's I'm not fucking, I am not crushing shit. You know what's crazy, dude? Is like, um, so obviously we love 90s movies. Yeah. Uh and so now I have the baby, which is sick. Um, just the best. And uh now that she's like past two months, everything with her is fun. Everything she does is fun. She laughs at you. She doesn't like laugh, but she smiles and she does this like in inward chortle, like it's awesome. But uh like entrepreneur hours are like 6 a.m. to to 11 p.m. Doesn't mean that you don't have way more time in the middle of the day. Like, no one can tell me I can't go hang out with my kid, which I can totally do, which is great. So it's it's just a different, different average. But around like seven something-ish PM, you know, we start getting Lara and the baby ready for bed. And I'm like, okay, I'm getting ready to go downstairs, put in some work, and then if my buddy wants to play arc raiders, doing both of those things.

SPEAKER_00: 2:34

Oh, jealous. Yes, dude.

SPEAKER_05: 2:36

But those are like, those are my hours where I'll catch up on a lot of work and I'll mess around with my buddy or whatever, decompress, but then I'm up until one and then I wake up early, get a workout, and keep going. And I'm like, you know, I just we just watched uh what is it? I think it's just called Santa Claus with Tim Allen. Yes. Yes, yeah, the Santa Claus. We just watched that and like um, you know, I'm like watching it happen, and I'm like, is this the 1000th 90s movie where dad works hard and is therefore like a shit dad and neglectful parent? Dude, yes. And I'm like, what? So like he talks to his kid like an adult, he talks to his kid like a man, you know, he's just like, no, dude, that's gay. That's not how that works.

unknown: 3:27

You know?

SPEAKER_05: 3:28

And then there, and but I remember like when I saw it as a kid, I was like, this guy is a bad news. Yeah. But then he becomes good. But like, you know, his I think the funniest part of that whole movie is like after Tim Allen the first time puts on the suit, goes down a chimney, gets sucked into a chimney, and then like that didn't have a fireplace, and comes back out, and his kid's sitting there, and he's like, Oh my god, you're Santa! And he's like, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_02: 4:00

Have you seen the dark edit? Somebody did a preview where they made it.

SPEAKER_05: 4:09

I gotta click that in fighting the kid, and he's just like yeah, that was pretty solid.

SPEAKER_02: 4:17

Oh, solid movie. Yeah, we watched over Thanksgiving with the uh the in-laws. Great movie. But yeah, it's like we women want us to be successful, but not too successful to where you're working a lot. Just enough. Right.

SPEAKER_05: 4:30

You need to be successful and also hanging out. Mando. Mando, you have to be spending all of your time with me, but also we can't be poor, and I hate our house. Like, well, fuck. This is unattainable.

SPEAKER_02: 4:49

SPEAKER_04: 5:32

Thank you, Glizlord.

SPEAKER_05: 5:35

Thank you, Glizlord 52. I'll I'll be adding mustard in one hour. Dude, just having these lights on so it doesn't look like I'm in a cave because our downstairs thing is like you can't see unless I have legit lights on like this. And it still doesn't look that bright in here. Can you imagine, like, with the lighting that you've got going on right now, like you're just like, alright. Absolutely going to town on yourself while having two monitors going, talking to a chat, and watching yourself do it and like accepting donations. That's that's an insane life that a shitload of people are living right now.

SPEAKER_03: 6:20

Oh yeah. Thanks, David. Um for sure.

SPEAKER_05: 6:27

I can do that. That's hilarious. Hell yeah, Kirby. I'll shove that in there. Dude, that's it's gotta be wild to start your like your OnlyFans career and have one fan. You know what I mean? And like, here's your monitor set up for the chat. Here's your other monitor where you're watching yourself and you're like, all right, bro. What do you uh what are you into?

SPEAKER_02: 6:50

What are you into, man? Let's figure this out together. You want to watch Santa Claus? With Tim Allen. Yeah. Yeah, he's a bad father. Yours was too. It's the same.

SPEAKER_06: 7:00

Sick.

SPEAKER_02: 7:02

Sick, me too. Awesome. Oh, now you want the remote of my ass. You got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, stop talking? Okay. Got it. Oh my god, dude. Oh man, that's a future. That's the dark future that Israel has sold us into.

SPEAKER_05: 7:22

You know, sometimes sometimes I'll shh I'll get in the mood and I'll start thinking about shit like that. And I'm like, you know what, dude, this whole lizard people thing is wigging me out. Like I just need to I need to not think about this. It's becoming more and more plausible every day. Every single day. The thing that irks me is why do so many people who have any sort of sexual like history and relationship with abusing a minor? And I'm talking like, dude, yeah, whatever you want to, there's like the whatever, if everyone's floating around the descriptions as in like teen is teen, so like 13 is non-minor. Okay. Like if that, if that's how you even want to define it, which I don't agree with. I think that's disgusting. I still will say, okay, so these people who abuse kids who are six, how are they getting out of jail ever? Yeah. Ever. I I'm I'm starting to get really confused in like my later years as an adult. Like someone abuses like a baby or a like a little little baby, you know? You're like, uh how are you getting out of jail?

SPEAKER_02: 8:32

How are you getting out of the death penalty? That's what I don't know. There's no, there's no way you're ever gonna be dude.

SPEAKER_05: 8:38

The death penalty is so far away from them. Yeah. These these people are getting like a year, if that. I don't understand. I actually uh met met a new buddy, Andrew Gunther. Uh shout out to the Sentinel Foundation in Ohio. Um, that is what they're working against. And I met him for beers while I was in Ohio. Crazy serendipitous relationship. You know, I started doing, I started fundraising for Three Bravo for our 20 Mountain 220. And um this is wild. So my buddy, I have I have two friends from college, really. Like I met two dudes that I really liked, and and we continued a relationship, and it's it's we're we're close. One became a PA, he's working in the Cleveland Clinic. The other one works Broad Street in Nashville. Like he plays, his name's Nick Walker, just put out a new CD. He's he's coming out with like great new stuff. He's probably the best entertainer on the strip. Like if you're going to Jason L. Dean's on a Friday or Saturday, you will see him there. He'll be working the late night show. Like he just crushes it. Um both of those dudes, right? So they're just like completely, couldn't be further apart. While I'm doing this, you know, all my friends are reaching out. I want to help you. I want to find I want to find I know this guy. I know someone you could meet. You know, I don't have the money, we're all growing, but I I can introduce you guys. So they both do that, right? They're both working this lead. So he's working on finding the um, what is it, the veteran, the the I don't know, the director, you know, the executive director of veteran outreach or veteran education at the Cleveland Clinic, which is huge. Like the veteran Cleveland Clinic is massive.

SPEAKER_06: 10:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 10:19

Um so he's working on that angle, the PA is working on that angle. And then my other buddy, he's like, dude, I went and played music at this um fundraiser uh that Jason Aldean supports, you know, because he's always working at Aldean's. He's like, he had some people come by and play live music while he schmoozed and talked to these people. And it was for promoting the Sentinel Foundation. And I was like, Oh, okay, that's cool. Like, what's that? And he's like, Well, they fight child sex traffic trafficking. And I was like, I legitimately, if I wasn't doing this, I'd be doing that. There's there's like two things that I'll give my life and service to at this point, um, unless there's another great American war that that calls us forth. But aliens, it's happening, it's coming. Alien robots. But basically, long story short, they're both trying to get me to connect connect with one person. The CEO of the Sentinel Foundation and the director of the veteran education outreach for the Cleveland Clinic are the same guy. Oh, shit. And my two friends are trying to connect me to the same guy. And then some other buddy from uh, you know, I think they were a wealthy family just from where I grew up, hit me up and he said, Hey, I have a buddy I think you should meet, sends me his phone number, I talk to him, I make this connection that he's that same guy for both of them. And then I go meet him. Great dude, prior Marine officer, he's hilarious, huge dude, likes to lift, like same mentality as guys like us. And they're doing great stuff. And it was great to meet them. Um, and he has gotten behind me and my nonprofit like 100%. We just have this cohesion where it's like, hey man, I would love to be doing what you're doing, and you would love to be doing what I'm doing. Let's just figure out how to make this thing work. And shit like that has been happening a crazy amount since I kind of dialed in and started being a good boy, is how I would describe it. Like really, really trying to dial in and do the right thing. And it's crazy how the universe kind of connects that way.

SPEAKER_02: 12:16

Yeah, man. You find, I don't know, you hit that algorithm, you hit that right like sweet spot, and you stay in it, stay in that group. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 12:25

I'm uh it's been wild, dude. I mean, it's it's really been crazy, you know? Like it's been crazy how the stars kind of aligned. I you know, I talked to my uncle who's been in AA forever, a lot of my family are in AA, and I was like, you know, I've just been really moving, you know, we had the kid, I'm moving a lot more into my faith, like a lot more into my faith. Yes.

SPEAKER_01: 12:44

Yes.

SPEAKER_05: 12:45

And um, you know, he was just like, yeah, do good, receive good. And it's not about what you get, it's about what you give. And he's, you know, a man of famously few words, but it's always so poignant, you know, because when people wait to speak, usually when they do, it's it's something good. And I just thought to myself, you know, like I lost my dad when I was young, that's his brother, and this is kind of like his avenue and my avenue to like really connect. And I was like, yeah, it that's how it's been. Like I've I've been focusing on doing good, and I've been getting good. Like good things happen because you're trying to do good. And I think other people feel that and they come to that and they're drawn to it and they want to do good with you, and and it's just been like this this cycle of of great stuff. And you know, there are struggles and difficulties and the ups and downs, but I mean, uh, a life of purpose is is pretty easy to live right now.

SPEAKER_02: 13:43

Dude, absolutely, and and you want challenges, you want it's not supposed to be effortless. Um that's not the point of the journey, man. When you find something that's purposeful, it's it's ignoring the negativity, it's sticking to your race, your lane, staying focused on that. I I think one of the things that can really bog anybody down that's trying to do something unconventional like this, um, it's when you compare yourself, when you're looking at others, or you let somebody else's insecurities and other s uh slights get underneath your skin. Like, dude, yeah, people are are are gonna come after you or they're gonna say negative stuff. It's it's who cares? Let it go. Yeah, they have.

SPEAKER_05: 14:26

It's been funny already. Yeah.

SPEAKER_06: 14:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 14:28

It's like um, you know, I I'm sure I showed you that we uh we got a feature on Fox and Friends, which was Dude, that was sick.

SPEAKER_02: 14:36

I saw that, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 14:38

Yeah, so like one of our one of our backers just had ties to them, and I think they put in a good word, and they're like, hey, this is a good guy doing good stuff. Why not a feature in Fox and Friends first? And the people there were really nice. Carly and Todd were really awesome. Um like super nice to us, showed us around the the studio. I brought out um my buddy Jack, who has to it, he took it upon himself to become our director of outreach. He makes no money. Like, this is this is the real deal. This is real nonprofit shit. Like, we don't make anything, we're raising funds, we're executing the mission. Um, and he he I mean he hasn't gotten paid a dime. He's done so much work, dude. Um so he, I was like, dude, let's get tickets, come out to New York with me. You've been there before. Let's go and enjoy like three days. Let's go do some running because he also did the event. And it was just wild, dude. It was like so fun to see the city. I'd never seen it before. We did Ground Zero, which was just like so wildly emotionally impactful. Um we went across the street um to O'Hara's, which I'm I'm sure you've you've been as well. It's just like No, I've I've never been. Never been. Oh, you've got to. So when you go, shoot me a message. Definitely go to O'Hara's. Um, they are so all in on first responders and um military personnel. Like you walk in that door and he's just like, hey, I know who you are. He's like, I know shit. Like you walk in the door, like someone told me to do it, and he's like, they'll treat you like family. And I was like, uh, okay. Like, I'm walking into a bar in New York City, and they're just gonna be like, you over here. It's exactly what happened. It's exactly what happened. He was like, I know who you are. Come over here, have a drink. What are you having? What are you guys up to? Uh, yada, yada, yada. And then he like showed me all this stuff. It was really great. Uh O'Hara's amazing. People have not forgotten their they're they're right at ground zero, so they have like this this crazy story. Um, but it was like just it everything has been emotionally cohesive and um awesome to see the city and then you know, execute the race, which was also wild, you know, like from basically a conversation on the phone with my buddy Kyle, where he calls me and he's like, you know what, man? We should swim Lake Tahoe the long way, 22 miles for 22 veterans. And I was like, I'm in. So let's figure it out. And uh, we started doing logistics, and you know, I'm I'm talking to him and our two other buddies, and I was like, okay, so if we're gonna do this and we're gonna do 22 miles for 22 vets, um, and hopefully promote, you know, the mission that I'm already on and use that to elevate that mission, uh, we're gonna have to, you know, like if you if you're doing something to promote awareness, right? Like you can't just do it for yourself and just be like, this is just us and the boys hanging out, like we're gonna go crush something hard. And then if it blows up, it blows up. Um, you know, if you're gonna do something for awareness, you gotta, you gotta put in the effort. And so from that moment forward, I kind of took hold of it. Uh the other dudes were like, listen, I I don't have time, I don't have time to plan all this out. I was like, that's fine. So we started doing the logistics for the swim. Lo and behold, it's insane to do those logistics. Like you have this tiny little window because of wind and fires and and cold and all this other shit. There's a current in Lake Tahoe. And uh the crazy thing is that it's also like the average depth is like fucking a thousand feet or something. It's like super deep. It's super deep. So, like to say that if a dude went down, like you're not even recovering the body.

SPEAKER_02: 18:23

Yeah. So And then Lake Tahoe is known for its sharks.

SPEAKER_05: 18:27

I mean, it's well, you've got to watch it exactly in the in the lake in the Lake Tahoe monster, cousin of the Loch Ness monster. And so we we basically like we're taking everything into consideration. It's just like uh this is too much. It's like too much for us to say, and I've planned events before just from doing what I did immediately out of the military. I had like two instances where I planned an event. It's like not huge or anything. Um, but I understood the capacity. And then, you know, just as you well know, as the special operations community, we just like we have to plan all our own trips. So you do get actually pretty good at logistics. Um and so I'm like, I we don't have time to execute on this and actually have like any degree of coverage. Like the local news isn't gonna hear about it, a newspaper's not even gonna hear about it. So what are we doing? Like we're not raising awareness. So we have to push the timeline and maybe even change the events. So we think, okay, you know, maybe 220 miles. Like that's also, you know, what's this our our idea was basically what sounds just as bad as 22 miles of swimming? And it was like 220 miles of ruck running. And it's like, okay, that's fair. That that does also sound terrible. Because we all know 22 miles of a swim is unbelievably lame. So um, I started working on that. And lo and behold, dude, from my house in Reno, in North Reno, you know, up the mountain in my backyard and down, with very little manipulation. And just catching some mountains on the way, 220 miles perfect to hit the Tahoe Rim Trail, which is like a really well-known uh through hiking trail. It's pretty cool. So started setting it up and just like executing the plan. Okay, so now we need to raise funds. And I've never done that before because I hate asking for money. So now we have to figure out that. We have to figure out how we how how now I have to figure out how I convey very simply what my mission is, you know, because in the beginning for years, and you and I would talk all the time. Yeah. Like, okay, how do we do the best? Like, how can we do the most good? And, you know, my ideas went from like, okay, maybe we get this out via media and maybe we get this out this way. You know, I'm still running the YouTube channel and that's doing fine. But it was really like, okay, there needs to be systemic change. And how do you create systemic change? And it's like, okay, well, you have to disrupt at the one touch point between military active military life and veteran life. And for all of us veterans, we know that that's your disability claim. Whether you want it or not, you're doing an out process. You're you're gonna do an out process. They need to know what's wrong with you because they have to do their due diligence. So even if you're not gonna claim money, you don't want the money, you can say no, you're still doing the process. Um, they're still gonna have your paperwork. So that's our one place. And if you're a civilian listening to this, um I've learned this over time. Disability is a an equivoc, uh, equivocal calculation to workman's comp. So we call it disability, they call it disability. Uh, unfortunately, that makes people think that every veteran who gets out, like if you're if you're pretty, every veteran who gets out is just disabled and they all get disability and they're all getting it's workman's comp. So you get totally screwed up doing this job, as you may be able to imagine. Um, it's workman's comp. It's like all the calculations are identical. If you worked as a construction worker and you had all the shit that we had when we get out, it's the same. So don't like, don't get your head wrapped around the axle. It's the same exact thing. Um so as we started learning how to communicate that, it's like that's the funnel. That's the point. We need to get involved in the community that is handling that transition, and we need to figure out exactly what's going wrong. And luckily, that's kind of tangentially related to what I've been doing. I've been figuring out benefits. What's the best way to convey the message? Why aren't we getting people their benefits? Why don't they understand what's going on? And so basically, after all this time, you know, six months of planning this event, training for this event, you know, I'm off alcohol, I'm off porn, I'm off all this stuff. Like I'm completely focused, and I've continued to have like this drive, faith, and focus because of this. Then I've I slowly find the mental clarity. Okay, well, this is how I define it. And in the beginning, you have this big idea of I have to change military transition and everything that encompasses that. And, you know, uh the greatest advice I ever got from one of the one of the people I respected the most from the teams, I won't name him or anything, but he said, be brief, be brilliant, be gone. And I may have even said that to you before. But it was the best advice I'd ever gotten because it takes a truly smart man to say very, very little and convey very, very much. Yeah. And, you know, in combat situations, in in training situations, in every situation in the military requires danger is only escalated by a long explanation. You really need to be able to convey your meaning and your purpose in a in a very few, uh very few words. And so I started to learn well, what we're doing is we're getting in the one place where every military member becomes a veteran and we're improving that process. And you know, saying that it's just like to guys like us, it's like, well, that doesn't sound like you're fucking doing anything. You can fucking do whatever you want and say that to everybody. Um, but that's the only, you have to get it compressed so someone who has no idea can say, okay, I can visualize that.

Yes, we have a veteran impact officer, and they help veterans build a benefit plan based on where they're gonna live, what they're gonna do with their life, and what they want, need to do right now. So, what benefits do you need to do to have the smoothest transition? So we give you information you didn't have, you give us some information you do have, you give us your wish list, and we make that happen in a little packet that you can take with you and you can always call. We're gonna call you. Two, we're gonna make sure your medical disability is squared away. It's not like uh, I'll do it once. It's like you will continue to come to us until the result that we tell you is probable is done. Now, if I don't think you're qualified for whatever degree of workmen's comp, I'm gonna tell you that. I'm also gonna give you the number to lawyers, coaches, everybody that you might want to use if you think you deserve more and you think I'm wrong. It's not my disability. It's not my place to tell you you don't deserve more. I'm gonna tell you what I think based on the information I have. And we're gonna help you build this case. And one example of this is that like when I got out, I did not have numbness in my right arm and my left leg. Now I fucking do both. Yeah. Um, you know, bulging discs just get worse with age. And when I got out, I was whatever, 27 or 28. You know, I'm 32 now. And that numbness for the first six months of both, the first six months, like six months, was not fun. The first five days of the arm, I couldn't move my neck. I was like in excruciating pain. The leg, it was just anytime I would sit down. So in a chair like this, I'd just be like, I'm sorry, Denny, we got to pause. I'm gonna have to stand up because it's just like, it's like mind-numbingly numb. You know, it's like growing pains. But I didn't have that when I got out, right? So when you're getting out, I need to be able to listen to what you're saying and then also be able to do what a veteran services officer is supposed to do. I need to be able to connect the dots to what is going to happen. And I'm not gonna lie for you, I'm not gonna make shit up for you, but I am gonna say, okay, these are both affected. There's a really good chance that your knees hurt too. You may not have identified that yet. But if both of your ankles are really fucked up, the likelihood that you're going to mess up your hips and your knees, I'm gonna ask you, like, is that the case? Can you remember? And you live in your body every day, long, every day. You're gonna forget something that's happened in the past. I actually forgot that I fell 20 feet off a bridge and compressed the bottom part of my spine. Like I completely forgot that when I was doing my out process. So it's like, it's just part of what we do is to say, like, what's going on with you? Hey, there's probably a reason for this. Let's think about what's going on with our knees. And if there's nothing, whatever, move on, right? We tell you what they're looking for in the process. You know, some you might get an examiner from the VA who doesn't tell you what they're supposed to tell you. What happens then? You don't know. You don't know. So now you're getting rated below what you need. You might not qualify for disability benefits that would change your life or just general health care. So if they make a mistake and they're having a long day, you don't have someone in your corner. There's no one there for you aside from someone that you can get like us. And then the last thing is we're gonna connect you with community resources. So unfortunately, this just is never the case. We're gonna lead you to other nonprofits. We want you to have, do do you want to go experience what it's like to learn how to ride a horse? No judgments, like these people are here for you. Let's do that. You want to get outside with a group of vets who go hiking and rucking all the time? Let's do that. You want to go ski, you want to go shoot, you want to learn how to surf. We have the resources to build you a packet to improve your quality of life tenfold from the jump. That's what we're doing, right? And so once you dial that mission in and that is very clear to everyone, then you get the racers who are involved who are like everybody on the race, and these are dudes who don't like running distance. Everyone on the race is just like, you know, uh uh, the complaint's about to come out. Like this is, you know, I I was in platoons with these dudes. I know team guys, you know team guys. Like when shit starts to really hit the fan, like you're gonna get in that group huddle, and if there's no like legitimate contact, there's no threat, dudes are gonna start sitting around and start bitching about management. Is what we do. So um, and we would get to that point, and I'd be like, I I know as a leader, give the guy space to bitch and moan about you. And I would go in and I get, I would go, hey guys, sorry if, you know, sorry for the miss route or whatever. Like we would miss something or something would be really hard or something would be really long. Sorry about the weather. You know, we had hail, we had snow, we had rain every day. We had uh literally negative a loom. The sun, the the moon, the moon was in this, was in this like supercomposure where it doesn't exist. They were like, yeah, it's not even a black moon, it's just not fucking there.

SPEAKER_00: 29:48

Negative moon.

SPEAKER_05: 29:49

Dude, it was it was wild. So now it's cool. The conditions are unreal. And we started in a 110-degree heat with like insane, it was insanely dry, everyone's overheated, and then we go straight to the cold, whatever. And we would sit down and I would go, hey guys, sorry. Everything legitimately is my fault that sucks. Uh and then I would just walk away and like just let everyone have their shit. And dudes would be like, Yeah, don't worry about it. I don't know if they were fucking talking shit behind my back. That's totally fine. That is your like, that's for you. But dudes it it just wouldn't complain. Like when it was time to get up in the morning, they'd be like, it's just it's more important than me. That was the coolest shit that I could I I did not expect. That was the coolest shit. I thought it was gonna be me suckering my friends into coming out and doing something that they didn't want to do. And every day just being like, let's go. Like, we just got we gotta make the timeline. Like we just have to get going. And every day it was just like, yo, we're out, you're you guys are out. Like the everyone just wanted so desperately to be on mission. Uh, no coercion needed, unbelievable motivation from these guys. It was it was fucking amazing. Like the the best experience. We're gearing up for next year already, right now. We're getting getting ready for next year. And I'm like so motivated from sheerly from the athletes that attended. Uh I can't wait to see what happens this year. You know, like 20, 30 guys, whatever. It yeah. So fun, like so motivating. Uh how many miles do you guys cover each day and how long was it ended up being? So we did the 220 miles, but we had a lot of dropouts, of course, um the week before, which we're gonna, you know, like try to iron out for this year, uh, put in just basically like an an hon, like a prepayment to keep you honest for veterans. Um, if you're a civilian, you want to come out, there's a payment that just it's a considerate a donation to the cause. We're gonna use it for the actual event. Yeah. Um, you know, we got so many people to donate their time for this first year. It was really hard to coordinate assets. It was really hard to cover down on medical. It was really hard to get all that shit squared away. So for this year, like civilians that want to attend, paying a price, and then for veterans, you're paying a price, and we're gonna pay it back to you if you show up. Um as it stood, we had six guys show up ready to go. And so I was like, hey, listen, let's do these first legs. I'm telling you right now, like guys who are coming from sea level, this is no fucking joke. Like we're we're cooking and joking right now. You're gonna go hit that first mountain. It's soft sand the whole way up. This is a soft sand mountain. I'm not fucking around. Like you guys are gonna be pissed off when you get down here. You're gonna be and you're gonna be mad at me. And I'm telling you right now, you're still allowed to be mad at me, but that is a soft sand mountain. And it is going to be 110 degrees out. It's probably gonna be 95 by the time you get up there. Uh, so they got down and they were pissed. They were like, I need IVs. Where are all IVs? And I was like, dude, they're not here. They're not here. Like, we have to make it further. You just have to drink water for now and like lay down until you cool down. But the way we ended up doing it was um we did two teams and just had uh basically guys doing a blue gold. So that's how we're gonna do it this year. We're gonna give you three options. Um, you can knock it out as a as a duo and literally start it and self-support aside from the aid stations that we provide, which we can't do that many. Like it's this is all inaccessible land, like completely and utterly. Uh, so we're we have good aid stations. They were actually really great this year. We may plus up one or two if guys really decide to do the full 220, um, which, you know, that's professional athlete shit, like to get that thing done within the timeline.

SPEAKER_07: 33:43

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 33:43

Um, and then and then we'll give everyone the option to do a blue gold or a you know, blue gold silver, where you have three teams rotating in groups of two. Um, you have one ruck between the the two guys who are on. So, you know, one guy's gonna have 17 pounds of food and water and everything, anyways. The other guy's just gonna be plused up to 22 with the weight. Um you're gonna support yourselves with your own bands this year because uh we we had an awesome donor who who donated uh uh geez, I'm I'm gonna blow this shout out. But they did us a really great favor. I'm gonna remember this and and I'll have I'll ask you to put it in the description. Um but they they donated vehicles to us to use for the week. Like basically no questions asked. And I was like, okay, sick. So we we go to poke, we go to pick them up, and uh they're brand new. It's a brand new Yukon and a brand new Denali. And I was like, oh, dude. I feel like I fucked up describing this, but I know I didn't. You know, like we're living in this for the next like four days, like in and out of it, gear, peanut butter, and jellies, farts, you know, like burritos. Um, so they came back and like we cleaned them, we were really good about it. You know, there may have been like micro scratches in the plastic, um one or two. And uh, you know, didn't hear back from them. But I like the the the communication was already like very minimal. He was just like, Yeah, just take them. I was like, uh okay. Okay. Okay, like you're you're the man, but I'm also confused at why you're letting me know. We're gonna turn this into a fucking runners F shack. Yeah, and uh you're also not making me sign anything. So they gave like I gave them the insurance, like our insurance, and I was like, okay, all right.

SPEAKER_02: 35:44

Should have been like, here's a chat GPT image of what it's gonna look like afterwards. Yeah, right. Right.

SPEAKER_05: 35:50

Are you cool with it? Use chat GPT to assume the damages that could potentially happen. So that also like like it gave its whole like a whole new level to where I was like, guys, these are too nice. Like, do not at any point in time be like tired and lazy and fucking smack into anything with these. It's just too you will you will drain every dollar we make. You will you will ruin this. Well and we will have a new Denali, but we will also have no money. Um so yeah, I mean that that was great, but uh for this year, if you want to do the team event, bring you're bringing a vehicle. And yeah, dudes already did. You know, dude, like if you're in the West and you live in that area, you want to have a cool outdoor vehicle. So a lot of people had the camping option anyway, and you really don't need it. Like, legit, all we used those vehicles for was like if you have an old pickup, throw a bunch of shit in it, bring out some ground pads and a tent. You don't want to be in the truck, anyways. Like, you want to be sitting outside. It's beautiful out there. Even when it was raining, it was like, dude, let's just put up a tent and sleep. Uh guys slept outside every night, anyway. So it was very easy to accomplish as far as like just getting guys to do the right thing. And then the the fundraiser also went off great. You know, we had we made, I think we raised 27,000 with I I believe four or five items. So it was sweet. Yeah, Whiskey Myers sent us a signed guitar. It was fucking cool. Yeah, good. Yeah. Oh yeah. I think um we reached back out to them for this year. I think they're gonna give us um a very cool like VIP ticket set up to donate from for this year's event. Uh yeah, dude. I mean, it's just been like unreal. Um and to all the guys who are thinking of starting something out there and like looking at me like I'm in your way, don't don't.

SPEAKER_02: 37:46

I thought everybody else had already let's let's fucking pause and address this right now because this is one of the things that I've been dealing with, and it is infuriating to have somebody that is don't go negative. Like don't compare or think that everybody you you you obviously don't think Sean Ryan is your enemy. Right. So why would you think every other veteran in the space is your fucking enemy? Maybe Dan Crenshaw. Maybe maybe it's Dan Crenshaw. Maybe maybe he is the one person that wants you to fail. Yeah. Dan Palpit Crenshaw.

SPEAKER_08: 38:26

Good, good, good, goodness. Manipulate your stocks for money. Get my lawyers on the phone.

SPEAKER_05: 38:34

Dun dun dun dun dun dun. Yeah, nothing gayer than two team guys beefing publicly.

SPEAKER_02: 38:39

Uh dude, and there's nothing gayer than going after somebody's sponsors and talking bad about somebody because you're jealous that they're doing better than you.

SPEAKER_01: 38:53

Whoa. That's a real situation.

SPEAKER_02: 38:54

That's a real situation.

SPEAKER_01: 38:56

That's so dumb. It's so stupid.

SPEAKER_02: 38:58

It's so stupid, man. And the thing is, like, bro, focus on your own race.

SPEAKER_05: 39:05

It's it's LinkedIn influencing. Everyone who's not up to something is on LinkedIn really often. And I know, and I'm not shitting on you guys, I know from personal experience I was doing that too, and then I got to work. You know, I figured out how to get to work on my mission, which I'm not saying is like an obvious or easy thing to do either. LinkedIn is a great segue, it's a great way to, you know, test out some of your skills, but you have got to get your head out of this, like the virtual world. You've got to get it up and on mission.

unknown: 39:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 39:38

Focus on your own race, focus on your own lane. Do your own shit. Because the thing is, like when you're back biting, you don't realize that you're talking to other people that know me. You're literally talking shit to people that I know that are going to come to me and say, This is a bad dude. Don't think that he's your friend and I don't like I I that's the thing like it's crazy it's infuriating dude like and I get it like i the dude's dealing with his own mental health issues he's dealing with his own thing and it's like hey man like at the end of the day I'm praying for you I hope you figure your own shit out but if you think that going out of your way to try to derail what I do is it's going to like bro like it's not gonna work like it it's it's literally an insane idea and the more that you continue to do it like it's only saying it's only painting you in a negative picture. Right.

SPEAKER_05: 40:51

I I know you watch this shit which is like hey dude like thank you thank you for the subscriptions and and and the follows I'm not following you anymore I refuse to support you so go about focusing on your lane and your race go live your own life very lame shit that I do notice is like the veteran community is very ready to like eat its eat its young you know um I think just you know like this the selection portion of the nature the you know you got to make it to be somebody portion of the nature does translate poorly to the civilian world um because you know within the military like if you're selecting for buds or you're selecting for um ranger school or you're you're trying to go anywhere um you know you want to go to the Q course you you have to understand that like it's you versus them. It is and you have a uh you have a a swim buddy and a log and those dudes are going to change like you have to be you have to be good to your team as a part of yourself like it as a as a a character trait but you need to know that it's you that needs to get this done and you want to accomplish something. When you get out there are so many fucking people in the world like the the competition is essentially nil. I remember when I was like thinking about the nonprofit space I talked to a lot of people I consider mentors 90% of them said don't do it at least 99. Maybe it might have been every single one of them and I was like fucked I I know I'm doing I'm making the right move and you're not understanding why. And so I I carried on but um one guy who I talked to who started a very successful nonprofit he was like dude don't worry about me or what's going on with my stuff there are so many people who are desperate to donate that like I and my business could we could work literally in the same town for a lifetime and we would never tap into the same people who want to donate what they've got. Like rich people get rich like really wealthy first generation people get wealthy by practicing wealthy practices, which are not giving away money. It's not like philanthropy is usually like a second or third generation trait where they've had money and they genuinely think that they should start giving it away because their immediate ancestor hoarded it you know but that's how you get wealthy. That's how they do it is they have smart money spending practices. And so when you start tapping into people who want to donate they want to make a difference but like you have to call them they're not looking for places to donate. And when everyone says like oh well how are they getting away with the taxes brother they fucking don't they just fucking pay them because they're rich. They can afford it. Yeah they can like there are there are other things you can do to position your company to be safe from lots of taxes as opposed to like that little bit of donation saving right so they're not looking for people to spend to some of them are some of them aren't but um you know as far as like starting a podcast dude everyone is going to tell you right now the market is saturated I can tell you right fucking now start it edit videos start posting them on multiple things start trying to make constant content no one's fucking everyone isn't doing that everyone has tried but it's a lot of work it's a ton of work. This microphone I I've iterated three times it's like the buy nice or buy twice all this stupid stuff to like make this work to make this something that's worth watching and I just do this so on the YouTube channel when I talk about benefits you don't have to look look look at like you know an a 1970s TV with a bad cable connection to and then have to just listen to me. You know like it makes it palatable and people don't understand the amount the sheer amount of work that goes into content creation and all this stuff because they're like yeah well Logan Paul does it. It's like well yeah he does it full time all the time and now he's got employees they just look they it's really easy to focus on the dudes who are tool bags where you're like oh no it's just a tool thing and tools couldn't be good at anything it's like brother tools have been making money for a long time a lot of money because they they they commit you know it's it's that that that isn't the character flaw or the trait that makes them rich. Trait that makes you rich is the tenacity to do it. You just gotta continue and work and work and work. All that to say like there's so much room like if you want to do exactly what I'm doing do it. And if you do a better job and it solves the problem that I'm trying to solve I'll fucking I'll get behind you.

SPEAKER_02: 45:48

I don't care dude that's the thing like there's been there's been since I started there's been at least a dozen or maybe two dozen shows that were had more followers had bigger social media preference that just one day disappeared one they disappeared. Dude got kicked out of the military couldn't continue doing it anymore fucking fell out of it like and since I started climbing there's been tons of dudes that came out fucking it cost me nothing tracer burnout literally going after the same demographics literally going after the same bunker bros doing the same out almost the same thing. You think I stay up late at night wondering well oh how am I gonna outmaneuver I don't give two fucks if they succeed I succeed. Like one of the greatest things I realized was nobody is going to come in and kick down the door and steal your opportunities. Keep going. Chase down the things you want to do like the individuals that are out there that are thinking that they got to outmaneuver to like I got to strategize and figure out ways to take you down I feel sorry for you dude I really do. Like I really feel like if that's how you spend your time and your energy then that sucks because you A broke one of the most fundamental rules of being a teen guy. Being a good dude being a good dude because this whole thing the first time we met you called me to ask for help and I helped you. Stayed late at night gave you insights to analytics gave you insights on what guests to go after how to format even how to do memes and then just a few short months later you want to try to slander my name you want to try to drag another individual whose business didn't want you didn't want to sponsor your show and you want to drag them through the mud that to me is one of the greatest fucking sins you can commit.

SPEAKER_05: 48:02

And it doesn't matter you know like it uh it doesn't get anybody anywhere you know it one of the reasons I I I brought up like the LinkedIn influencer shit is it seems to me that the veteran community at large starts every single post with either this is what I saw and this is why it's wrong. Right. So like just telling everyone why something that you don't like is wrong. Or it's I spilled my milk yesterday and this is what I learned about leadership. And so it's like dude I and I get it it it's like it's almost part of like a progress path. Like I need to figure out if and it's it autocorrects unless you're hot or a like okay looking female that it doesn't autocorrect unfortunately for you guys. You're just gonna get your ego inflated this isn't a dig on women it's a dig on the men that are reading stuff that's some of the men are the worst men it's this you're you're reading the same shit that some dude said last week and you're like that guy's an idiot and then some cute girl says it from the military community and you're like you know Megan I really and I if your name is Megan and you're a veteran I am not saying you I just that's a common name from my demographic my people but you know like dudes are just like oh my God that's so smart.

SPEAKER_02: 49:25

Like that's that's what I just thought of it's like okay what is LinkedIn anymore what what is I stopped I stopped posting my clips on my page or my personal page and just continue to post them on the Security Hall media page yeah just because it's like I realized going into 2026 if I I I want to be able to bring value to somebody's day I don't want to always and I realize like hey me if I'm trying to grow my network trying to connect with people because I want them to either come on board as a sponsor or see value in me as an individual for them to invest I don't want them to see my page just be constantly just clips, clips, clips, clips, clips, clips I'm like, hey I got a security hall media page that's where I'm just gonna dump them I've got to put all my stuff for the asset mindset, broken brains and security hall in there. This episode is also brought to you by Precision Wellness Group. Getting your hormones optimized shouldn't be a difficult task and Dr. Taylor Bosley has changed the game. Head on over to PrecisionWellnessgroup.com enroll and become a patient today. Dude yeah I mean and whatever shows else that uh I'm hoping hoping to produce in the in the new year. So I want people to just go there for the clips my own page I want it to be something of value and I haven't posted anything. Why?

SPEAKER_05: 50:42

Because I don't have anything the fucking of value to put out there I'm working yeah yeah that's like that's where well that's that's where I've been at and like every time I approach LinkedIn I like uh I just have like an old habit of being like should I say something like is is this like is do I need to say something? Like are people are people waiting? And it's like no they're not they genuinely don't care. Just one guy just check refreshing his feet come on man. And then the cool thing is is that YouTube people do want more. They want like content with you know I do like videos like uh about state benefits and like people will send me a direct message say I really liked this content. I hope you put out something about this and I go dude you know I don't like saying this but bet I'll do that. You know like I will do like if you want something about you know some kid sent me a message and said he wanted something about what was it? Uh Navy cool which if you're not privy it's like um it's our we have a professional career program where when you're in the military and you want to gain rank like you can get your PMP. And it's like okay I'm really ready to put on E7. I have my PMP and they pay for it which is really cool. And so it's like Navy cool. So I went through that and you know the guy was like pretty psyched that it came out and he you know sent it to whoever needed it but he was in he was active duty. So like stuff like that. I'm like dude this is great. I love this you know the YouTube will grow on its own. But otherwise I'm not posting clips to LinkedIn because no one seems to care about anything unless it's I love that everyone's like dude LinkedIn's not for politics and it's not for looking sexy and all that stuff. And it's like well then why does every political sexy person post that I've ever looked at have 80 billion likes and 4000 fucking re whatevers. You know it's just like yes it is because all of you are clicking between LinkedIn and going to Twitter or X or whatever and you're just saying like well these are the adult apps and it's like dude just go on Instagram. It's way more entertaining it's the same level of stupid you know yeah like because you're on Twitter all day does not make you an adult because the president uses it also is the least adult thing I've ever seen what people do on there LinkedIn is the same way.

SPEAKER_02: 52:57

Dude X is a dumpster fire man it is nothing but like insane takes and gratuitous porn at your fingertips. Yes like I'm like this should not be allowed on this app.

SPEAKER_05: 53:10

Then it is so it's like you're scrolling gun tube uh crazy guy talking about uh the new theories about Jews in Israel and then oh here we go latest gun influencer gun bunny showing cool cool cool cool that is the internet as of right now I think I do I genuinely believe that although this generation c like cultivates some of the culprits that we all believe to be like manifesting all this like bad content um but we're the ones consuming it and I don't think their generation really is I don't think they are dude I think they're gonna grow up it's the whole thing of like the uh you know I posted something of my buddies the other day that he just reposted whatever it's uh it's like a statistic like here's here are the deaths in America right you're looking at like heart disease cancer um you know lung whatever and then you look at uh what does the news report on right and then there's like gun deaths are like you know so much less than it's like way below 1% 40% of what the news is talking about. So you know like not to diminish anything that's ever happened to anyone in a gun related incident, right? That's like you know a political hot button issue in the news right now, but that is not what we should be focusing on. We should be focusing on heart disease because it's killing everyone. Everybody everybody. And then you have like RFK Jr out there getting plastic out of food and people are politicizing that.

SPEAKER_02: 54:36

I'm like dude you do not want to drink dye right don't fucking tell me what I can't put in my body I am injecting seed oil straight into my eyes. I want microplastics and when can I get bigger plastics in my body?

SPEAKER_05: 54:53

Yeah yeah I'm done with micro and I will be now ingesting macro I will have one golf ball a meal if God didn't want me to put this in my body it wouldn't have made it round fit it fits as we're supposed to go yeah there's a we're living in a goofball time it's crazy it's very media driven I mean it's all it's just it's it's all just showing us our our lesser parts you know like they wouldn't play it if we didn't like it.

SPEAKER_02: 55:31

Yeah it's true man like if there was no if there was no if there wasn't an audience for it it wouldn't be successful.

SPEAKER_05: 55:38

And uh it's it it is a genuinely in my point of view it is like I like to look at human society as like one entity and like we are going through these like cycles of maturity you know like the dark ages and that that's like obviously like it a tantrum at three years old. You know like we we're we're progressing very slowly but now technology is like pushing us way past the limits because it's giving us access to everything like as a as a whole and I think like right now we're just in like this weird phase where we're like turning into teenagers and we're like throwing tantrums and we're not understanding shit and we're like really judgy and we're really horny and we're really aggressive and we're really stupid and all of that is just like a direct reflection in what you see like getting a lot of traffic like OnlyFans and all that stuff on the internet. You're just like yeah well no kidding we're not we we weren't ready for this. It just exploded it came out of nowhere.

SPEAKER_02: 56:34

Bro just just wait till quantum computing becomes uh an something that's accessible by every person.

SPEAKER_05: 56:42

Aaron Ross Powell they just I I I I can't remember who it was I think it was like you know actually I th I I don't think it was Stanford but it was like some maybe it might have been but some college just did an experiment where they basically I didn't I didn't read the whole article I read like the first two paragraphs to kind of go beyond I I did my due diligence and read a very short amount a very brief amount beyond the headline they had like a successful you know millisecond experiment where they powered quantum computing like a quantum computing uh level of power like what you need with something that was like relatively small like that would bring it to the home user which is crazy because that was that's like one of the major hangups is like we're not going to be able to use this generally because you're gonna have to use yeah you're gonna have to use a whole uh whatever those data centers are like you'd have to use a whole data center for one computer something like that. Yeah. So it it's coming really fast. Like it's all developing.

SPEAKER_02: 57:46

It is man and and I I guarantee the first thing that quantum computer will be utilized for is a quantum porn say it like sort of like the Star Trek holograph or hologram sequence computer generate a mid-20s Nancy Pelosi. Oh man have you have you seen um have you seen that that those memes of that kid who like puts on his um his like Google VR or is like his meta VR or whatever and he's just like walking around his room and he's like Jarvis make her 30 feet tall yeah Jarvis 60% more jiggle this dude is like making a joke but this will very shortly be exactly what's going on the hollow deck will be a real thing and it will be abused or somebody somebody did a skit or maybe it's like from a low budget TV show where the guy walks in and he's doing like the whole thing computer generate a full size Bryce Dallas Howard.

SPEAKER_05: 58:55

Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah and and he's just like dude get out of the trash room yeah use like he thought he was like on a hollow desk yeah I know exactly what you're talking about oh man yeah dude I mean you know like when that when that technology becomes available uh just think about like your brain like the way our brains are wired like where porn is crazy addicting where you'll have something that's actually in front of you like like 50% physical.

SPEAKER_02: 59:26

You know you're just gonna be like the rate anecdotes that die due to malnourishment. Yeah we're gonna lose a lot of men really fast.

SPEAKER_05: 59:36

That technology is going to be new pandemic. Yeah that that's gonna be like uh we'll have how how long does it take take to die from malnourishment? You know like three weeks like from the three weeks from the second that that becomes you know an item that you can buy for a thousand dollars three three weeks from that day uh most most of the men will be dead number

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:00

Number one quantum Google search, Sydney Sweeney. Oh man, well yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 1:00:04

That that uh that will take down more than half Sydney Sweeney in a German German officer in a field uniform.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:19

Oh god, dude.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:22

In today's news, ninety percent of Connecticut is now lost. New Hampshire. Dude.

SPEAKER_05: 1:00:34

Yeah, the internet is weird right now, huh? It's really funny though. It's insane, dude. It is fucking insane. I mean, like, it was literally the second Trump won the election, like the internet changed. Yeah. Like that instant. It's like we have we now have like two versions of the internet where you can share shit that's like really wild, but really, really funny. And one that's like, no, no, no, no, that's bad. Don't share that. And one that's just like, yeah, dude. Do it. Please. Fucking to everyone.

SPEAKER_06: 1:01:09

We'll do it.

SPEAKER_05: 1:01:10

I'm gonna I can't I can't even say what I want to say right now because it's like the Bro, it's security hall. You can send it full said. If it's bad enough, we'll edit. Well, so you know the Burger Hing King hat guy? Yeah. You know, like the there's like just an entire series of videos now where they like show regular stuff for like 35 seconds, and then it's Burger King hat guy for 0.1 seconds, and then it's the first tower getting hit by the whichever and you're like, dude, this is like the shock value is super funny, but you're like, this is super fucked up. But you like you just you you every time you see it, you're like, oh my god. I'm just glad we have the same algorithm.

SPEAKER_02: 1:01:59

Yeah, the algorithm, I think I think there's like a 50-50 shot you do and you don't. We may we may even have the same FBI handler.

unknown: 1:02:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:02:10

Richard's in his office right now. Hmm, those guys are up to no good again.

SPEAKER_05: 1:02:14

I forgot. Oh, dude, there's a there's a comedian who has uh like a whole joke where he's basically talking about like how he went to Australia and once he landed, you know, they're super, super liberal there. So they basically told him to turn around because he's like a political, he's a political, whatever, you know, he's like a political terrorist. And you know, they get back and his lawyers send him messages and they're trying to get to the bottom of it. Basically, like he had been in a text thread, like on WhatsApp, okay? And him and his buddies called it building a bomb, and they just got a ton of tannerite and blew up a car in the middle of like Utah, like in the desert of Utah. Yeah, and like so the in the whole thread, they're like laughing and making jokes like haha, to lol to the FBI guy in this chat right now, like like watching us build a bomb, you know, or listening to us. So it's like they're they broke the fourth wall. They're like talking to him, and it was real. Like there was an FBI guy monitoring that chat. And so like once they all found out, they're like, for real. So we were just talking to him. He didn't even have the balls to message back.

SPEAKER_02: 1:03:24

It's like, yeah, they'll monitor you, dude. Yeah. Yeah, none of that, none of that shit's safe. Everybody's like, oh, we need to we need to make sure we have a signal chat. I'm like, oh, dude. They're on signal.

SPEAKER_05: 1:03:36

It just costs a little bit more money to do it. Yeah, the only app that actually works is verbal, like in person. And even then, dude, what was that like that one dude? It was uh yeah, the Princess Seal or whatever. Yeah, he was talking about it, like your phone is still listening to you. Dude, I got a I don't have it right here, but I got those um those Faraday bags. The silent from silent? Yeah, dude. I got those. I got those because it weirds me out. Like if I ever needed to be off grid, and listen, it's not like me planning on doing something evil. It's some in my mind, it's someone wanting to find me. Like they're doing something evil. Like, so we just got these Faraday bags. No. Why not? So it was like 40 bucks. It's not a a plug for silent, but it's you know, I don't know. No, I can't make a Faraday bag in my house. Yeah, I guess you could could you wrap it in tinfoil? I don't I really don't know what these bags are made of.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:26

Maybe chicken wire, tinfoil. I kind of feel like that would be like the starting point. Silent. You know what? I'm gonna go after you. Let's see if we can get them to sponsor the show. Slightly called chance in hell chance, but we'll try. Why not? There'll be a shot. I bet they're gonna be at SHOT Show, dude. Dude, SHOT Show. That'd be that'd be awesome. I I'd I I would love to go, but yeah, I need to. Do people hit you up about it all the time? No, no, I it's been it's been brought up a couple times. So I I do have uh some connective tissue with some people that will be there. But it's like one of those things where it's like, I don't want to hold somebody's pocket and be like, oh, thank you, sir.

SPEAKER_03: 1:05:12

Thank you for having me.

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:13

Dude, people ask me if I'm going like all the time. And when I say all the time, I think I'm exaggerating and you're under exaggerating. And we they probably ask us the exact same amount, but I'm gonna stay who I am, dude. I'm not just gonna meet you in the middle. Um You ask me all the time 17 times a day, both phones. I think it's because really I live because I live in Nevada. So they're like, Are you gonna come to SHOT Show? Because I can really just drive there. Um and I always think to myself, like, why are you I I think this, I'd like this is why I'm asking you is because why are they asking me? Like, is this just like the greatest opportunity for military people to connect? I I guess.

SPEAKER_02: 1:05:53

You know, why why are they always asking me?

SPEAKER_05: 1:05:56

It's SHOT Show. Like, you know, we have it is super pretty. We have an outdoor expo in Cleveland. Nobody's ever been like, You go into the outdoors expo in Cleveland this year.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:03

Like, funny enough, they I keep getting asked to go there. That one, I'm kind of a celebrity there.

SPEAKER_05: 1:06:11

IX Indoor Amusement Park. IX Indoor Amusement Park. Is that national or no? Is it's gonna fall on deaf ears, except for people who know what I'm talking about? Is IX national?

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:23

I'm pretty big in Cleveland. Okay. Okay. All right. 17 followers, die hardcore group of followers in Cleveland. Shout out to uh my Ohio boys uh OH.

SPEAKER_05: 1:06:37

I feel like I should say that, being from Cleveland. My Ohio boys who are listening. You know what? Seamus, I know you I know you listen to Denny's podcast. I know that for a fact. That's for you, dude.

SPEAKER_02: 1:06:50

You know, we should we should probably see if we can make it. I mean, we're both we're both fairly new dads. We got a lot going on on our plate, but I'll tell you something.

SPEAKER_05: 1:06:59

Um honestly, I mean, I like I basically shouldn't even tell you because the odds that this happens are low. But um my wife's best friend, her her dad, so her best friend's dad, um, works for a company that's making a bid on hosting the like being the event host. I there's so many tiers to the um what's the what's the Tampa soft event? Soft.

SPEAKER_02: 1:07:24

Oh, uh fuck. Uh soft week, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 1:07:27

So soft week, they're the the his company's like making a bid, and he's like, hey, you know, like he wants to lead with someone in the community, you know, like to have his to be like, oh look how tied in we are. So he was just like, dude, if you if we do this, do you want to host the week? Like as the host? And I was like, okay. Like, I don't I don't know what that means at all. He's like, you know, set up like a podcast booth and like host something every day. And I was like, I mean, I'll s I'll be there and I'll I'll be like, I'll make a speech or whatever, and I'll talk to people and I'll help you with that. But dude, my buddy Denny would be the great guy to have a podcast there because people listen to his. Mine's about veterans' benefits. So like I don't know if you've been to Soft Week, but it's all industry. Like, there's eight military people, they'd show up and they'd be like, What are the benefits? And I'd be like, There, dude, I'll just text me. Just text me. There's eight of you.

SPEAKER_02: 1:08:25

Yeah. I went to Modern Warfare Week, which is like the little cousin event right before, and it's the same thing. Tons of like, because all vet all service members get in for free, but it's so hard to carve out time and like stand out as like somebody for mental health, fucking veteran stories, transition assistance, because it's you're going up against fucking the fucking laser 500. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we got the Robocop suit. It's a real thing, and we don't have to cut you in half. Hey, who hurt you over here?

SPEAKER_04: 1:08:59

Not fucking cool.

SPEAKER_05: 1:09:00

What a loser. This guy's gay. Look at my flamethrower.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09:09

Robocop operator, I want to be like you when I grew up.

SPEAKER_05: 1:09:12

Of course you do. What about me? You want to be like I actually what I did it. That's a that's a role. I did it. I'm just talking about emotions. Boo that man. Gay, weird, weird and gay. Hey Denny kids. Look about a soft week. Yeah. I got bullied by a robot like the whole time.

SPEAKER_02: 1:09:40

He actually started a podcast day three. And uh he's now uh better. He's now bigger than Joe Rogan and Sean Ryan. Welcome back to the real soft operator show.

SPEAKER_05: 1:09:53

Here I am with a nickel-plated spoon. He can talk about talking sick. Wow. Jocko.

SPEAKER_04: 1:10:04

Welcome to the show. Jocko, sit down. I have some gummy bears for you.

SPEAKER_05: 1:10:13

Worst gift of all time. That's like not a shot at Sean Ryan, but it is like a uh shot at whoever planned that for you.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:22

Dude, yeah, dude. Why are you getting those gummy bears gum likes?

SPEAKER_05: 1:10:25

Like uh when when Dino Mavarukis came on, uh former team guy went to Stanford and started like this, you know, the fastest growing tech company ever, you know, military tech company, um, Saronic. He shows up fastest, like the fastest to like a what was it, like a two billion dollar valuation ever. Yeah. You know, he shows up and he's like, so I got some gummy bears for you. And it's like, this guy can afford gummy bears. Yeah, every guest could definitely go get his own gummy bears. I think he's giving away guns now.

SPEAKER_02: 1:10:59

Like he must have enough. He eats, yeah, he still he still does the gummy bears. Oh, does the first thing, yeah. The gummy bears and the sig. Which is like, dude, like how much I he's big enough to make fun of.

SPEAKER_05: 1:11:10

I mean, he's he's just like he's he's he's so far away. I mean, he's like he's one guy away because it's the soft community, but he's also far enough away that this doesn't come back. You can say whatever you want. You can call him a bald little bitch, call him squinty-eyed. This isn't coming back. I I don't well, you know, I would say he wouldn't care. Decease and deceased. What the fuck? I will say, dude, okay, so like Dan Crenshaw, like obviously he's making too much money. And weird going on. We all we all get that. Um and being a crybaby about the stock trading thing, like that sets off the radar that like you're making a lot of money in trading. Um, if he's making it honestly, I'd kind of be pissed too. Whatever. I'd be indignant at least. But all of that aside, the message that, you know, like Sean did the whole public, like, I'm gonna read our beef and let everyone decide, which is also like sort of traumatic. If Sean ever listened to this, I'd be like, dude, I'd have a beer with you, you seem cool. Um, I think we have some of the same friends, I'm sure we do. I also just don't think that that's cool to do. But like, I get it. He's a politician, but you're also like, you're not just a guy, you're like cr famous and wealthy. Yeah, you can fight that fight, but I get it. Like, publicize it, whatever. I mean, it's like part of the game and it whatever, etc. etc. All I'm saying, my only real opinion on any of it is that the text that Dan sent, where he's like, yo, dude, team guy to team guy, you can just tell me if you think I'm being a turd and making too much money. Um, like some of my boys at six told me that. Like the way I read that was just like it was it wasn't like a it's threatened.

SPEAKER_02: 1:12:59

It wasn't a threat, a hundred percent. So it was just like and I'm not and I'm I I hate Dan Crenshaw. Let's just put it out there. I hate that something's going on over there over at the Crenshaw residence where he's making all that money.

SPEAKER_05: 1:13:11

Yeah. All I'm gonna say is the text, I would not have gotten that and gone Heinrich. Yeah. I wouldn't have gotten a text from a fellow team guy, no matter how much like I I don't like them or I don't understand them, that said, like, hey man, I can tell you don't like or understand me. Uh you can just hit me up directly. Like, I'll tell you anything. And then your response is just like, oh fuck. It doesn't look like it just doesn't look cool.

SPEAKER_02: 1:13:41

Like, you know, I hate the case. I know he's doing it for the legal thing. I know that he's doing it for the legal thing. Yeah, I was scared.

SPEAKER_00: 1:13:48

I was I thought you were gonna say, but it's just like for me, dude.

SPEAKER_05: 1:13:52

Can we can we leave the team guy beefs to us? Like the peons. What what are little boys gonna think when they're reading all these books now? They're gonna be like, okay, and then one day I become a podcaster andor a political figure, and I just have to burn down my friends. It's like, dude, yeah, fucking it or or glove up. That would be cool. Like if you guys just were like, you know what, screw the lawyers, let's just glove up. It it couldn't possibly hurt either of your reputations to glove up and fight each other. The only reason you wouldn't if the there was someone who would handle this event, which I'm sure Logan Paul would. Oh, 100%. Yeah. The only reason you wouldn't is because you wouldn't want to lose because your pride. But lose I mean, if you've gotten in enough fights, losing a fight shouldn't really hurt your pride anymore. You should just get up and be like, damn, whatever. I might beat that guy tomorrow. It's like whatever.

SPEAKER_06: 1:14:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:45

Allez it's Robocop, operator RoboCop. Shot show. Jesus, dude.

SPEAKER_05: 1:14:51

Jocko? No, that's the other guy. Fucking uh what do they call him? Shrek? Shrek Shrek McAfee.

SPEAKER_02: 1:14:58

Shrek Shrek. That dude says some of the most goofy shit. If you go to a range and you shoot more than two bullets, you're doing it wrong.

SPEAKER_05: 1:15:07

Right. Yeah. Well, but but here's the thing like a lot of people will speculate and just be like, oh, this guy's not an operator because that's just like, no, he definitely, definitely is.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:17

He's just one of the weird guys. Yeah. There's tons of them. You the dude's taken how many hits to the head? And he's probably shot so much that for him, sure. But I like shooting. I'm not going to go to the range and only shoot 20 fucking rounds. And when I'm going to go to the range, I'm going to fucking burn it down. Yeah. I'm going to go through some substantial rounds. Dude, I why do why do you think I have a 22 AR?

SPEAKER_05: 1:15:40

Oh, yeah. So I can shoot, dude. So I can shred I'm not rich. I need to be able to have fun. And the only way to do that is with a 22. I'm sorry. If you guys like, you know, really love 45 ACP. Can't afford it. Yeah. Certainly can't.

SPEAKER_02: 1:15:57

That's the only reason I want to make it big is so I can just fucking shoot insane amounts.

SPEAKER_05: 1:16:04

The first thing I buy, like if I were to, if I were to do a great job, the nonprofit does great, and I can give that to somebody else. I'm sitting on the board making whatever, two grand a year, and I'm I I'm I'm successful in other spaces, right? If I can do that, the first thing I buy is a 48. I'm buying a 48 and just like a crate of belt fed. Yeah. And I'm just like there is no greater feeling.

SPEAKER_02: 1:16:30

That dude, it's the best. I remember it's it's the only weapon system I I hold near and dear to my heart. It's such a fucking rad. I I it's just amazing.

SPEAKER_05: 1:16:42

It really is great. Yeah, it's like what yeah, I know exactly what you mean where like I can I reflect on an M4. That is like a work gun to me. Yeah. I think about the SIG 226. I have some feelings for it because it was like, you know, part of training, but it's still like work, Glocks, work. Yeah. Like Mark 19 is definitely work. Like there's so many guns that are just like a chore. But I think about clearing a jam at a 48 and like just lubing it up because it just loves lube, dude. It loves lube, it loves being dirty.

SPEAKER_02: 1:17:14

It's like there's it's their filthy college girlfriend you had. Yeah, dude. Yeah, you'll always like Drake vodka straight and smoked cigarettes. Now she's missing a leg and she's diabetic. That's neither here nor there. R.I.P. Linda. R.I.P. bitch. Oh man.

SPEAKER_05: 1:17:38

Dude. Yeah, I've I honestly I've had many, I've had many a daydream about like, okay, so I'd have a lot of dirt bikes, I'd have cattle, and I've had I'd had a I've I'd have a 48. And I think to myself, like, how bad do I want that? This is I mean, this is for anyone who wants something desperately. How bad do I really want it? Because you can get that stuff. You just have to do stuff that you might not want to do today. Like, do I want to run a laundromat? Absolutely not. Do I want to buy a bunch of porta potties with an SBA loan and run a porta potty business? No, I don't. But you'll make a lot of money. You know, like you will do well. Those are necessities. They pay really well, the overhead's really low. That's you know, I I'm just so much more mission-driven than I can ever articulate. Like, I love to think like, okay, make it big and then do this, but I'm always just gonna need to have my fingers in something that makes me feel whole. And then if I'm like really good at it, then you can feel holes that you put in stuff with that Mark Fourier.

unknown: 1:18:47

That would be awesome.

SPEAKER_02: 1:18:50

I guess the the lesson we're trying to uh spread out there is um if you like holes and you like to feel them, you gotta go do big things. You gotta go over to Dubai.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:01

Get in get into that glory old situation with Dan Crenshaw. The socket pocket.

SPEAKER_04: 1:19:10

That's it! That's the title of the episode. Socket pocket.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:14

The old socket pocket. It's uh pissed off.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:22

It'd probably come with gummies. And then here's also gummies.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:31

You knew that's talking about me, but here's gummies. That would be wild, dude.

SPEAKER_02: 1:19:39

Here's your vigilance elite gummies.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:41

God dude. The the internet is too too stupid to listen to any of that. Yeah. Everyone wants secrets, like that that one dude who's constantly like talking about everything like it's all connected for the lizard people.

unknown: 1:19:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 1:19:57

You know, like he th they're it's It's like the Candace Owens troupe who I didn't always think was like the conspiracy stuff. One thing I'll say is that like when you start getting into stuff like that, they like they do a really great job at making you think it matters. It just doesn't.

unknown: 1:20:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05: 1:20:16

To you, like the the viewer. Like how how could it possibly matter?

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:20

Yeah. Like we like, does it really matter that Macron is married to a dude? No. It doesn't. No, right?

SPEAKER_05: 1:20:27

Like in genuinely. Yeah. What will change? Like. For sure nothing. Nothing. You know, like, are you gonna get assassinated for that? I I really don't think so. Especially French people.

SPEAKER_07: 1:20:43

Yeah. They'd probably be psyched. Yeah. Dude. Come on.

SPEAKER_02: 1:20:49

Plain yourself.

SPEAKER_05: 1:20:50

Yeah. Move on. I mean, the f the French are literally taking cattle away from their own farmers. Like they're they're not super right wing where they'd be like, wait, he was gay the whole time.

SPEAKER_03: 1:21:03

What? Internations.

SPEAKER_05: 1:21:05

Overthrow the government. Those same people that you may think would do that, like they're the government is literally taking their livelihood away. Like they're not allowed to have more cattle. I think for the sake of what? Climate change? Which is insane. It's insane. I'm not sure if it's for climate change. That's conjecture, but still, it's like, why else would they do it? So yeah, I mean, if Macron's wife was a dude, they would be psyched. Yeah. Why why would you I don't know.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21:34

Yeah. And if you want it to be a dude, hey, it says more about you, doesn't it? Just uh think on that.

SPEAKER_07: 1:21:41

Ooh.

SPEAKER_02: 1:21:42

Yeah. Face. Right in your face dog. Well, Liam, if people want to know more about Three Bravo, where can they go?

SPEAKER_05: 1:21:49

Uh check out threebravo.org. You can get us at uh the veteran three Bravo Veteran podcast on YouTube. And honestly, if you want to get involved in the race, if you want to volunteer your time, um we have some really cool stuff coming down the pipe, really awesome ways to give back to the Nevada community. Uh not only, but if you want to get involved in the veteran community, raise awareness, come out to the event. Um, this is going to be the second year. Really cool stuff's gonna be happening. When's uh when the next when's the next race? August 22nd. We're gonna aim for August 22nd every year. So that'll be the fundraiser. Uh just don't schedule the week before August 22nd. And um really, you know, it may seem insurmountable, but with the amount of support that you can get with six people, you got to come in shape, you got to come correct, you got to have that mental toughness, you got to know how to feed yourself. Do a long distance run before this one. But if you've done 50 miles, you know how it feels, you can conceptually get behind that, come out, put a team together, sign up, go to threebravo.org, check the events page, August 22nd.

SPEAKER_02: 1:22:58

Dude, how do we uh how do we get uh involved if we want to sponsor the event?

SPEAKER_05: 1:23:02

If you want to sponsor the event, you can email me directly at threebravo.org. I'll send you over our sponsorship packet. Um, there's tons of ways to get involved as a sponsor, not only for the event, but you can also just get involved with three Bravo in our mission. So the event is for awareness, it's amplifying our mission, but you can absolutely just get involved with us. Um, and I'll tell you right now, and I even probably shouldn't be, but I think it's fine. Uh, we're looking to have an event in Dallas, in Cleveland, Ohio, and in either the DC area of Virginia or the Virginia Beach area of Virginia this year, before the race, get involved. We are doing big stuff. Uh more to come very, very shortly before the new year.

SPEAKER_02: 1:23:49

Oh, yeah. Uh, we we got to talk a little bit offline because I want to sponsor this thing. I want to figure out how I can get involved in promoting this thing because uh that's the only way. Yeah, it's uh the only way we're gonna friggin' save more lives and help veterans if we all coalesce around a solid mission. And uh I think you should too. So please do me a favor, pause right now, go to the episode description, I'll wait.

SPEAKER_02: 1:24:44

Liam, thank you so much for being here and everybody tuning in. Thank you. I really appreciate you. I'm gonna, I think this will be our last episode. I'm calling it right now. This is the last episode before we go into the new year. I'm gonna take a few moments before I close it off to thank all of you for tuning in. 2025 was a success. I think I can say right now it was a success. Um, listeners and views through the roof. I wasn't climbing YouTube before this season. It was a steady fucking beep, beep, beep, beep. But we're growing. We're we're a proud little show on YouTube. I'm proud of our efforts. Not a paid viewer in sight. Hard earned, hard fought. Um, and I appreciate all of you. I can't give you anything but my love and admiration, but I'll do you one more. If you're listening to this right now and you're a proud security halteer and you would like some free swag, hit me up, 850-376-8101. That's my real number. Why would I do that? Because I care. Hit me up and I will send you some swag to celebrate. Who thought we could do that? A lot of people said we could never get a phone a sponsor, and we found four. One of them quickly decided to run away, but a couple of them stayed. And that's pretty cool. Pretty, pretty cool. That's a success because when we started this thing, everyone was like, dude, you're not gonna be around for two seasons. And we did it. And then we did three, and then we crawled our way through four. This whole thing has been an endurance event. Just like 220 miles of an endurance event. Liam could do that. Maybe I can do it next year. Who knows? Maybe we're gonna do a live podcast. I don't know. Let's try it. Maybe. Maybe. Let's say hard maybe ish. Dude. Maybe put a G B run together. Oh, let's you know what? Let's do that. Let's throw it in there. Um, if you're interested in running it as a GB, hit me up, same phone number, or hit me up in my email, seccalled podcast at gmail.com. I'm Denny Caballero. I am extremely grateful for everything you've given me and given this show this year. I couldn't have done it without you. I wouldn't have done it without you. And serving you, the listener, is what I aim to do, and I hope to do it for a few more seasons, at least get one more. Starting off sometime in January. But I'm taking a break because I'm fucking smoked. I am. The truth is, I've been smoking meth behind the scenes just to keep this shit going. It's uh taking its toll on me. If you're cheating at 7-Eleven face down in a puddle, please flip me over. It's a bit hard doing this as a solo entrepreneur, but I finally got some help coming down the line. I hired a Reels guy. And hopefully I'll hire an editor in the new year because editing four different shows is becoming to be a lot, and I need some help. So if you're an editor, hit me up, especially if your rates are pretty uh, you know, decent. Uh, I don't mind working for more sponsors to pay your quote, but um, let's be reasonable. Can we keep it, you know, decent? You said the quotes I've been getting are like six grand. And I'm like, dude, you're insane. Don't be stick about it. I'm so glad you guys stuck it out and you've been here with me. I appreciate you. Can't wait to see you on the new year. I don't know what I got planned. I I think this is uh the last show I have for for this year. Um, I don't have anything to dock yet, so we'll see. I don't know who's coming in. I don't have any big guests lined up, but hit me up if you need anything. Reach out to us. We're always around. And by we, I mean it's just me. It's a solo endeavor. So again, Liam, thank you so much for what you're doing. Thank you for being here. And we'll see you all in 2026. Hopefully. Hopefully. Till then, take care.
