Send us Fan Mail Peaches and Trent sit down with Kody Dickerson — the guy who took every hit life could throw: failed run, COVID cruise, family crisis, BUD/S heartbreak, the whole stack. And instead of folding, he rebuilt himself into a SWAT enforcer, gang-unit problem-solver, and CrossFit machine. Kody breaks down the moments that rocked him, the honesty that saved him, and the mindset that pulle...

Send us Fan Mail Peaches kicks the door in with a full-spectrum roast of the military news cycle—because apparently everything from nuclear micro-reactors to Space Force identity crises hit at once.

No fluff, no editing magic, just Peaches fum...

Peaches dishes on how sleeping indoors, training for 11 hours in the p...

Send us Fan Mail In this unfiltered members-only solo rant, Jared wrestles with the never-ending Tim Kennedy drama—because apparently just being a Green Beret and UFC fighter wasn’t enough for the guy.

He calls out politicians, pokes fun at the government shutdown...

Dan drops receipts straight from the battlefield...
Ep 519: Air Force Streamlines Special Warfare Training Building Stronger Operators, Faster 23.10.2025 38:13

Ops Brief 109: Daily Drop - 23 Oct 2025 - Generals Lost Faith? Cool—Go Retire, Grandpa! 23.10.2025 9:38
Send us Fan Mail Aaron’s rolling solo and firing on all cylinders. In this episode, he torches the latest “breaking” story claiming generals have “lost faith” in Secretary Pete Hegseth—calling out the lazy headlines, the performative outrage, and the same gray-haired generals who tanked Afghanistan and somehow still have opinions.
