Dallas Alexander, former JTF2 operator and member of the team that is attributed with the longest sniper kill in history, is in hot water with his former unit and the CAF.

This is something new for me but someone said to record and post more of my thoughts to get "my authentic self" on the podcast. Well, buckle up buttercup and listen to a rant I did in my car after getting a text from one of my CANSOF bros about a plaque being installed in Ottawa.  The details of the plaque are here In short, this is beyond the realm of believable and now we're in the realm of the...

This episode is all about nutrition or the lack thereof in the veteran community.

Due to popular demand, I'm chatting about, not with, the Liver King. This fascinating topic took the bro world by storm the other week. If you're not tracking who the Liver King is, he's a fitness influencer who tans his asshole, sleeps on the ground, eats raw liver and steer testicles and recently got exposed for taking ridiculous amounts of steroids.  I also look at my own T levels, that I had t...

I loved this conversation with Rob. We're both competing to get to a 405lbs deadlift first.

My take on what the hell is going on with the CAF. I think we've got some serious issues and ideologies that have captured the minds of the generals and leadership that rule the institution. This is not good and it's tearing us apart and the result is highly skilled and selfless folks saying, fuck it and retiring. The soul of the Forces is in tatters and that's 100% on the leadership and I explain...

LCol (ret'd) Stuart Scheller blew up the internet last year when he decided to publicly criticize his Marine Corps chain of command in a Facebook video; while in uniform!  As you can imagine, the internet exploded.  Stuart has been called every name in the book, lost his family, lost his career, and been thrown in the brig but has always stuck to his message that there needs to be accountability f...

Dr. Kelly Starrett is back on the podcast and it's a banger! The big picture here is that the current medical establishment is not in the business of keeping you healthy. They are there to treat medical emergencies and we need to look at them as victims of the medical establishment.  I wanted to chat a lot about kids and how to keep them healthy and active. He created an interesting foundation cal...
