Aaron’s had enough. This solo Ones Ready episode is a straight-up demolition of every anonymous Air Force wannabe crying about the new Zulu Course. For years, the same crowd begged for tougher, more legit ground training — and now that it’s here, they’re hiding behind meme pages and bad takes.

Aaron lights them up. He defends the cadre who built the course from scratch, calls out the soft culture infecting the pipeline, and drops a masterclass in what real readiness looks like. This isn’t motivation — it’s a correction. You don’t have to like it, but you damn sure need to hear it.

If you’ve ever said “they’re changing too much,” or thought your opinion outweighed experience, this one’s going to sting. Aaron brings the truth, the fire, and the leadership the community forgot it needed.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
