Grunts in Appalachia

Well we got all three of us together again this week!   We added a duffle bag dump to the show this week, basically one of us (Brandon) picked and item to place in the bag and we had to open it up and talk about the item.  This took place as soon as we stopped the live feed we had rolling on Facebook that you can check out on our Facebook page.    Spending Christmas in the mili...

Yo! We did it.  We went live on Facebook for the first time and we had a great time doing it.  We talked a lot about different happenings in the world, as well as how our Thanksgiving went for us personally.  Gorgeous George wasn't able to join us this week for a family thing and we are asking all our listeners to keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers.  Check out...

Gorgeous George, Brandon and John sit down at a table with one of the most beautiful rifles ever created by Masterpiece Arms.  This 6.5 Creedmore is a beast weighing in at almost 20 pounds including the scope!  This will be the rifle that Gorgeous George is going to be using when he and Brandon have their civilian vs sniper competition.   It's Thanksgiving yall! So a very happy Than...

This week Brandon and Gorgeous George sit down and talk about the cold season, sports and the on going election.  We had a few drinks to keep us going and just let the conversation flow.  We talk about the up coming holidays and what things we might have going on.

Here we are with part two of celebrating veterans!  Last Thursday was the Marine Corps Birthday followed up with Friday being Veterans Day.  You know what that means, every Marine made some bad decisions with their friends.  Veterans Day is the day of the year that you can legit say thank you for your service to a veteran, while it makes a lot of them uncomfortable it is still the day to celebrate...

John and JC Knight went to this years 4th CEB A Co. Marine Corps ball.  We had some drinks some laughs and by far the best part of the evening was meeting and talking to other local Marines in the area that are currently serving.  We Marines take the birthday celebration to be one of the most sacred things in our beloved branch of the military. We had the honor of sitting down with two o...

Here we are starting the week of celebrating veterans!  This Thursday is the Marine Corps Birthday followed up with Friday being Veterans Day.  You know what that means, every restaurant will be giving great discounts, sometimes free meals and a host of other cool benefits that come along with being a veteran this week.  Veterans Day is the day of the year that you can legit say tha...

We had a nice little chat about Halloween and the festivities that we got involved with over the weekend.  Little tidbits of information on the warfront with Russia and others and a few other odds and ends.  Take a listen and enjoy!

This week we made our way to Creekside Tavern during the cornhole tournament.  We Got to meet a man that went viral on social media platforms for wearing a mankini while working as a pipeliner, the owner of Creekside (Steve) and a fellow 0331 Machine Gunner from the Marine Corps.  Some wild stories and some crazy Banana moonshine that the Marine brought in from out of his car, only out i...

Brandon and John had to throw together an episode and it turned out great so here it is.... I know some people like a great description but sometimes it takes away from actually listening for yourself. So without further ado here's this weeks first episode!

This weeks second episode is John, Brandon and Gorgeous George sitting around and just being ourselves.  This is us in real life and how we talk to each other whenever the mics aren't there to record us.  Enjoy the nonsense as much as we do because we love this ride called life as much as you do.  

This week we sat down with the CEO of MOS Tactical.  William drove 7 hours to chill with us as we walked downtown Huntington, WV for the Chilifest that was great.  Half the city showed up this year and kudos to all the talented vendors for your take on what chili is supposed to taste like.  You all did a great job and everyone had a blast.  William is such a great guest because...

Alright guys you asked and we listened!  This is the first legit second episode for the week.  We discuss some current events, some products we were given for a test run and a few other things.   Thursdays will be the day of the week that we drop our second episode until you all force us to start making 3 a week because we have no trouble sitting around running our mouths for an hou...

This week Gorgeous George and John sat down with not only one but two comedians!  Keith Terry and Victor Martinez Jr. got to wild out with us and swap some stories about things in the past and a couple things that happened within 5 minutes of greeting each other.  Bazookas were also on scene and yes I'm referencing the weapon.  Big shout out to EZ Street Bar and Grill in St. Albans...

Greekfest 2022 was a hit! Yiorgi has worked this festival basically since his birth and it was great.  The food the music and dancers were top notch and no one could tell us how many times this festival has happened, the closest we could get was over 50 years!  Check out this weeks episode and let your ears go on a quest that will have you wanting more.

Well we haven't had a really wild episode in a while so Brandon definitely brought his A game to the table.  Yiorgi and John knew it was going to be wild when we showed up and there was a trash can full of beer cans.  We hit some cool places this week individually. Brandon stayed on the Greenbriar River in a mini camper for a couple of nights, Yiorgi won his shooting match and John went...

This week Brandon and Yiorgi sat down and talked about all kinds of happenings.  From 9-11 to the death of the queen it is a great episode that will keep you entertained the entire time.  The in depth commentary from current events to the past this episode hits its all.  For those that were still in school for the attack on the world trade towers or in the military brandon and Yiorg...

We were given the VIP treatment at the annual Fly in Festival a couple of weekends ago.  To say that it was cool would be an understatement.  Some of the greatest Blue Grass bands out today show up and put on an amazing show for the crowd.  We were able to score some back stage passes and we made an entire weekend out of hopping from camper to camper listening to blue grass music an...

Not going to tell you what the news is in this quick description, you have to listen to find out!  We spoke on food a lot on this episode and how the times have changed so much on how you can get your food to yourself. Grubhub and things like it have changed the way that people can make money and how people can become entrepreneurs in very exciting ways. Due to popular request we did anther w...

Here for your self from this proud Hasher herself.  Jill was a Captain in before leaving...

This is not our typical podcast so if that's what you're looking for you'll have to wait until next Tuesday morning. John went to the Appalachian Trainer Faceoff that is put on by The Heart of Phoenix Equine Rescue.  In this event trainers from all over the country show up to the rescue farm and they choose through a drawing of sorts a horse that has not been handled. They then bring these ho...

This week we sat down at one at one of Brandon and Johns favorite lunch stops, Scratches.  Every week without fail these women throw down on some soul food that is straight from your mamas kitchen and its super reasonably priced! Polly, Donna and Sara kill it with their down home cooking and Polly can run her mouth behind a bar like no other. We have never felt more welcome or walked into a b...

Our guest this week is Scott Corso.  Did you know that rocks paper scissors is actually a real game with a national champion and the competition is held in Las Vegas?  Yeah, that happens and Scott by chance walked into a bar one evening and they needed one more person to compete that night, he agreed. After he won that he found out that he was the regional winner with a free expenses pai...

Ever been locked up overseas? Our guest did and it's a very bad thing.  Terry Foster is an acting talent coach and talent agency owner for over 20 years.  He lived in LA for many years before moving back to his roots in Appalachia where he continues his search for amazingly talented people.   Terry went down to to the Bahamas looking for talent and had a good thing going until he di...

Hey listen we are constantly trying new things and this was our first time ever doing a podcast virtually.  Before I forget podcast is another veteran based podcast that we reached out to for a collaboration and we made it happen a couple of weeks ago.  These guys are great and have an awesome show and we were thrilled to be able to have a show with them and get to know each other. ...
