Ones Ready

Send us Fan Mail In this unapologetically chaotic daily drop, Jared rolls through everything from drones dropping grenades to pedos in court and AI that’s apparently too complex for senior leadership to Google. Welcome to the April 30th edition of the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the actual DoD news that gets sent to generals...and then we make fun of it. From failed Firefly launches to...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to the April 29th Ones Ready Daily Drop — where Jared sifts through the bureaucratic swamp of DoD updates and gives you the brutally honest download your commander definitely won’t. From a proposed Pentagon rebrand that sounds like it came straight from a Call of Duty menu (“War Department,” anyone?) to a grandma trying to sue the Navy to become a SEAL (yep, that’s real),...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to the Ones Ready Daily Drop, where we lovingly sift through Air Force public affairs briefings so you don’t have to—and by “lovingly” we mean “roast everything that deserves it.” Jared rips through the military’s latest fitness failures, missile launches, undersea cable nightmares, and why Boeing can’t seem to build a plane that doesn’t break straight out of the fact...

Send us Fan Mail Strap in, team—we're back in the team room with retired Chief Ivan Ruiz, legendary PJ, Katrina rescuer, INDOC instructor, and all-around certified badass. We’re talking about the upcoming PJ Rodeo, but let’s be honest, this episode quickly turns into a firestorm of nostalgia, brutal honesty, and unapologetic takes on what’s going right—and VERY wrong—with Air Force Special Wa...

Send us Fan Mail This one isn’t a podcast. It’s a goddamn war story. UFC Hall-of-Famer and America’s toughest mustache, Don Frye , joins Aaron and Atlas for a conversation that spans decades, back surgeries, ghost trucks, Vietnam comms tents, and mob-backed wrestling matches in Japan. What starts as a laugh-packed swapcast quickly veers into territory most men won’t talk about: childhood trauma, f...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to another savage Daily Drop where Jared sifts through the Pentagon’s greatest hits — everything from the Air Force shoving 31 more fighters into Korea, to Space Force getting table scraps for a budget, to the shocking revelation that 66% of the Guard and Reserve are apparently auditioning for "My 600-lb Life: Military Edition." Along the way, we roast the Signal...

Send us Fan Mail This week on Ones Ready, Aaron and Peaches dive into an episode that’s part roast, part rock anthem, and part tactical life lesson—mostly about how not to book an Airbnb. What started as a “members only” chat quickly spiraled into Nickelback fanboying, ruined daughters with backstage passes, and tactical breakdowns of why doom-ups are Satan’s favorite underwater evolution. We cove...

Send us Fan Mail Jared is speedrunning this Daily Drop like it’s the last brief before weekend libo. But don’t worry—this episode still slaps. From Air Force leadership dodging infrastructure bills, to a shaving waiver flowchart that sounds like a side quest from Fallout, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed to rage-laugh through. In this episode:  ☢️ Nuclear microreactors are coming to Alas...

Send us Fan Mail Today’s Daily Drop is brought to you by: chaos. Jared’s on one, the Public Affairs Office is finally back in the saddle, and we’re neck-deep in Pentagon leaks, Guard drama, Space Force growing pains, and morale breakdowns at the Air Force Academy. In this episode:  🚨 Former advisors under leak investigation while the Defense Secretary is out here Signal-chatting like it’s group t...

Send us Fan Mail Public Affairs ghosted us, so Jared took matters into his own hands and scraped the internet like a clearance-free, caffeine-fueled analyst. What did he find? Chaos. Leaks. SEAC rumors. Trump-era leftovers. A Space Force doctrine that might spark Star Wars 2.0. And yes… someone might’ve nuked the SEAC job. Or maybe not. Nobody knows. Also:  📱 Hegseth allegedly dropped Yemen strik...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to your favorite corner of chaos—the Ones Ready podcast. Today we’re giving you the inside scoop on the next Operator Training Summit in La Jolla, California (that’s right, where influencers pretend to jog and Navy SEALs learn to leave Combat Controller's on the OBJ). If you’ve ever wanted mentorship, expert instruction, and a slight brush with aquatic panic, thi...

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...
