Episodes

The Blame Game 10.07.2025

Looks like Mother Nature decided to throw a surprise party in Texas, and a flash flood was the uninvited guest! With all the finger-pointing going on, you’d think our politicians had a secret weather control system tucked away in their offices. Human arrogance rears its head once more—because clearly, if we just tweet about it enough, we’ll make it stop raining!

Big Beautiful Bill 03.07.2025

Suppressors are still chillin’ on the NFA—how’s that for a twist in the plot? But hey, summer’s here, and we've been out frolicking in the mountains. Life's too short not to embrace the great outdoors, right?

When Guys are Left Unsupervised 26.06.2025

This week we discuss the mishaps and adventures of a group of boys who took fun to a whole new level, completely ignoring safety briefs and most possibly ending up an ATF nightmare!

Riot Season 19.06.2025

Riot Season, where emotions run hot and cooler heads seem to have hit the road! Amid the uproar, we’ve got PETA hopping aboard the animal rights train, waving flags and reminding us that pigs are not barbecue material.

Nightfore ELR Match 2025 12.06.2025

Thinking about diving into the world of matches? Why not go big or go home with ELR? That’s exactly what our brave friend Jayden thought! So, we packed up our gear and hit the road for our yearly adventure to Glen Rock, Wyoming, home of the legendary Night Force ELR Steel Challenge. Two glorious days of fun in the sun? Oh, hold your sunscreen; it was more like fun in the sun... and a bit of mud, a...

Quiet Please! 15.05.2025

What on EARTH is going on with the Shush Act ? It feels like we’re trying to push a boulder uphill here. And on a positive note....we discuss my latest obsession: The Canik Signature Series!!

Road Trip! NRA 2025 08.05.2025

Does the IRS Need Guns?? 24.04.2025

Scary Word of the Day: Tariffs! Check out this week’s episode where we unravel how those pesky tariffs might just turn your ammo stash into collector’s items. Plus, Congress is asking the real questions—do IRS agents really need firearms, or are they just prepping for a wild tax season showdown?

The British are Coming!! 17.04.2025

This week we jump into the legendary "shot heard 'round the world" – that awkward moment when the colonies decided they were totally done with England's nonsense. We're connecting the dots between powdered wigs and present-day pandemonium, because apparently, humans just love making the same mistakes on repeat.

Blame the Gun?? 10.04.2025

This week we tackle the internet's favorite punching bag - the Sig P320. Is it really trying to spontaneously high-five the ground, or are we dealing with a classic case of "operator error"?

Dangerous Happiness 03.04.2025

Spring is here! Sort of. Today we chat about getting to the range, dressing for all seasons and the beginning of spring time fun. Wipe down those cobwebs and lets play outside!

Better Safe Than Sorry! 27.03.2025

This week we chat with Clayton Schlosser from Pivotal Defense, who's about to drop some truth bombs about why medical training isn't important... until suddenly it's the ONLY thing that matters! You know, like how you don't need a fire extinguisher until your toast becomes a torch, or how band-aids aren't essential until you try to catch a falling knife (pro tip: don't).

Suppressor and Magazine Myths 20.03.2025

Today we talk about the world of gun myths that just won't die, from "magic" suppressors that ruin your edge, to the bizarre belief that your magazine springs are doing CrossFit while you sleep.

Cats & Chaos 13.03.2025

Ever wondered why your cat has a personal vendetta against gravity and why they always target your most precious possessions? Plus, we're taking a satirical look at the latest SCOTUS drama. It's like that nightmare where you walk into your final exam wearing pajamas, except it's happening on an international stage!

Silly Ukrainian... 06.03.2025

What happens when a federal agency goes poof into thin air? We're tackling the hypothetical disappearance of the ATF and the hilarious real estate dilemma it would create. Should we turn it into a massive paintball arena? A craft brewery? The possibilities are endless! Then, buckle up for our Ukraine update segment where we break down the latest developments in the ongoing conflict. Plus, we can't...

One Bill To Ban Them All 27.02.2025

This week we discuss the implications of Kash Patel being named Acting Director of the BATFE. The absolute craziness going on in Colorado, and a Chicago 911 operator advises that people arm themselves.

The Fudds are at it AGAIN 20.02.2025

This week we take on a one paragraph Fudd Facebook post. Your read that right. We had enough Fuddness to unpack to last an entire drive to work! Oh Fudd, will you ever learn??

The Fallacy of Safe Distance and Tac Reloads 13.02.2025

Today we debunk the myths of "safe distance" (spoiler alert: it's not what action movies taught you) and tackle the infamous tactical reload - because nothing says "operator" quite like dropping a half-full mag while trying to look cool.

NRA Board election, Weird Guns 06.02.2025

This week, we're diving into the NRA's Board elections (out with the old, in with the new), while Brandy unearths some firearms that'll make you say "Wait... that's a REAL gun?" Plus, we're getting whisper-quiet as we explore how suppressors went from James Bond territory to your neighbor Bob's weekend range toy.

Shot Show 2025 30.01.2025

We braved the crowds, dodged the tactical bros, and survived on convention center coffee to bring you the scoop on what's new in the world of pew-pew. Turns out, "new" might be a generous term this year.

Concealed Mt. Dew 23.01.2025

Oh man....the changes to concealed carry training in Colorado. How many states will follow that leader? I suppose you could always open carry. YUCK! I guess if all else fails - conceal that Mt. Dew!
