Comedy EN ↓ 91 episodes

Come on the journey with 2 veterans that have blossomed into a friendship as we have genuine talks sharing our adventures in the military, talks about veterans, funny stories, and every day life. Mike and I established this podcast to portray to other veterans or other people to be able to reach out to their friends, family, or even their wingman and have authentic conversations. The art of having a conversation is becoming extinct since the advancements of technology. We want to provide a platform that shows the art of conversing is not gone.

EP 7 My Thoughts 29.03.2021

In this episode, I wanted to give my thoughts and how this podcast has started to change my perspective. I was really upset at the lack of conversations in our veteran community. People are transiting into civilian life and not having the heart-felt conversations needed for success. The person leaving the military is dramatically different from the person that entered into service. After hearing t...

EP 6: Gimper - That's 04 Baby! 22.03.2021

In this episode, I sit down with one of my oldest military friends. We were in tech school together, our first duty station, and our second duty station. At first glance we do not have a lot in common, we come from different states and different tastes in music. However, what we share in common has created a bond that still exists beyond the military. We both grew up without our fathers and join t...
