Ones Ready

Send us Fan Mail Buckle up, because Ones Ready is dropping a banger with Anthony “Donny” Donahue, a guy who’s lived more lives than a cat with a death wish. From dodging jail time to crushing Navy SEAL BUD/S, serving as one of the only Arabic-speaking SEALs in Iraq, and then—because why not?—ditching his officer gig to become an Air Force Pararescueman, Donny’s story is a middle finger to the ordi...

Send us Fan Mail Erasing history or just correcting course? When military institutions start scrubbing images, canceling events, and rewriting narratives, we have to ask—what’s the real intent? Is it about progress, or are we selectively deleting what doesn’t fit the current agenda? Let’s break down what’s happening, why it matters, and what it means for the warfighter community. Drop your thought...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to another episode where Peaches, Aaron, and a walking EOD war story—Charles Howell—drag you down memory lane... kicking and screaming. From nearly tattooing a crab on his chest before basic training to blowing up more IEDs than most people blow up relationships, Charles spills the entire chaotic tea of his two-decade detonation tour. We talk about how EODs were treat...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to another unfiltered Ones Ready daily drop, where we scan the Pentagon's inbox so you don't have to. Today's episode is jammed with everything from micro nuclear reactors to the Space Command slap fight, and we even toss in some childcare policy chaos—because why not? Jared breaks down what the Air Force and Space Force are actually up to (spoiler: some of...

Send us Fan Mail In today’s cerebral Daily Ops Brief , Peaches breaks down the Defense Department’s latest dumpster fire: whether to park Space Command’s shiny new paradigm shift in Colorado or Alabama. Also, some genius of the Military Industrial Complex just texted the entire Internet our plans for Houthi rebels. Throw in DEI purges, child care collapse, and a disgraced AFSOC leader, and you&apo...

Send us Fan Mail In this delightfully grim and accidentally informative Daily Ops Brief , Peaches breaks down the Pentagon's latest hits—from promoting a retired Guard general (cue the four-star meltdowns) to “oops-we-erased-history” DEI compliance, all while dunking on the commissary’s soggy sandwiches and the illusion of DoD fiscal responsibility. If you've ever wondered how to: Launch...

Send us Fan Mail This episode is what happens when a luxury leatherwork lunatic, a snake-breeding psycho, and a jiu-jitsu savage walk into a podcast studio—and it's the same damn guy. We sit down with AG, the founder of Toehold Flip-Flops and covert overlord of the reptilian fashion empire. From $65,000 snakes (yes, danger noodles with price tags) to handmade American flip-flops that slap har...

Send us Fan Mail Peaches’ back with the Ones Ready Daily Drop, serving up the Department of the Air Force’s juiciest news with a side of zero-BS commentary that’ll make bureaucrats cry. From SpaceX dunking on ULA to become the Space Force’s launch daddy, to the Pentagon slashing IT contracts like a bad breakup, this episode is a rollercoaster of military shake-ups. Oh, and let’s not forget General...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Trent sits down with the beard-wielding, strength-slinging savant, Coach Jimmy of Modern Athlete Strength Systems (MASS)—because apparently we still need to explain why doing curls and skipping cardio won’t cut it in Special Warfare. Jimmy drops 20+ years of strength & conditioning wisdom (and shade) on everything from why 30-...

Send us Fan Mail Is free speech dead? Is the Air Force covering up reality? And what the hell is actually happening in Ukraine, the Pentagon, and beyond? In this hard-hitting Ops Brief, Peaches lays down raw, unfiltered truth on military leadership failures, global chaos, and why censorship is creeping into every corner of our lives. 🔥 Why deleting "diversity content" isn’t about fairne...

Send us Fan Mail Budget cuts disguised as “strategy.” Civilian workforce hollowed out while nobody’s watching. Quiet U.S. deployments, Frankenjets getting the spotlight like it’s breaking news , and the Pentagon resurrecting a 2019 Wuhan COVID report... You’re not crazy—this is just the new normal. Peaches dives deep into the week’s military madness, pulling no punches and dropping the kind of hot...

Send us Fan Mail In this heartwarming, sarcastic, slightly chaotic episode, Trent joins M42 Adventures to unpack 20 years of Air Force Special Warfare—and the wild decision-making process that got him there. Spoiler alert: It all started because he hated being told what to do... so naturally, he joined the military. We dive into what makes someone pursue a path where 90% of people fail, why burnin...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast. We’ve got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Ira...

Send us Fan Mail This one’s not for the weak-willed or the Twitter-triggered. We sat down with Dan Hollaway—co-host of Drinkin’ Bros, host of Citizen podcast, and certified “I’ll die on this hill (and you might too)” patriot—for a gut-punching, no-sugar-coating talk about the death of nuance, America’s dumbest political trends, and why your Tesla-hating barista might actually be on Beijing’s payro...

Send us Fan Mail In today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he’s coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one’s got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rant...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Ones Ready , Peaches sits down with Susan and Korey, two legendary instructors teaching Air Traffic Control at Combat Control School—yes, actual ATC, not the “wave your arms at planes” nonsense people assume CCTs do. Susie’s a Gulf War vet with a PhD in aviation (no big deal), and Korey is a former Ranger, CCT, and 7-knee-surgery survivor turned 24-year ATC work...

Send us Fan Mail In this absolute rollercoaster of an episode, CRO #8 Jonathan Harmon returns to finish what he started. The man has survived boat ramps, raging seas, rogue helicopters, and his own dumb decisions—so you know he’s qualified to roast himself and everyone else in the process. We go deep on: Nearly dying multiple times (on purpose), Hazing that would make HR explode, Buddy-breathing w...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to your daily dose of unfiltered chaos, where Peaches breaks down the news like a sledgehammer breaks through PR-approved nonsense.

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the most line-stepping , career-defying , rule-dodging episode in Ones Ready history. We’re joined by none other than Jonathan Harmon —PJ-turned-CRO, Red Wings rescue mastermind, tactical genius, and part-time aircraft hijacker (allegedly). From failing swim tests and skydiving with squirrels in Florida, to running the Combined Air Operations Center during Operation Red...

Send us Fan Mail It’s April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes. Today’s drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn’t real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013) . Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is beggi...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule. Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually...

Send us Fan Mail It’s April 3rd and Peaches is back with a fresh pile of Air Force, Space Force, and “what are we even doing anymore?” news. From commanders whining about drone threats and bureaucrats pushing Zero Trust Architecture™ (whatever that means), to Ukraine intel shifts, grounded pregnant pilots, and six B-2 bombers pulling up to the Red Sea like it’s a boss level—this Daily Drop has it...

Send us Fan Mail On this episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, Peaches dives into the swirling madness of global defense headlines and calls out the bureaucratic circus behind the scenes. From satellite refueling ops and simulated dogfights in space, to fentanyl diplomacy and generals crying over spectrum auctions, it’s all here. Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hang...

Send us Fan Mail It’s April 1st, and no—this isn’t an April Fools joke. Peaches is back behind the mic for the Ones Ready Daily Drop, breaking down your Air Force and Space Force headlines with the perfect mix of sarcasm, salt, and a little bit of “are we really doing this?” We’ve got the Space Force talking satellite refuels, the Pentagon trying (again) to make combat standards gender-neutral, an...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to your March 31st Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down the military’s biggest headlines with the subtlety of a frag grenade. In today’s rundown: Japan’s military just hit four-star status, the VA is paying people to ghost their jobs until September, and the Air Force is dangerously close to reenacting Final Destination with a T-38 and a Delta jet. But the real MVP? Retir...
