Hey, it's time to get real with back again guest, Mike! Join us for a laughter-filled leap into personal stories, military musings, and rural ruminations. We're taking you on a journey, packed with tales of the often overlooked realities of farming, the intensity of combat, and the neighborhood bantering that keeps our spirits soaring. Ever wonder about the psychological toll of warfare or how it feels to be knee-deep in homesteading? Mike's got you covered!

Remember that episode that’s yet to see the light of day? The one that’s bound by declassification? Well, we're revisiting that narrative and celebrating 31 weeks of unbroken podcasting. Dive into the world of martial arts, boxing, and the intensity of the modern battlefield, where drones rule the skies and engagement rules are constantly evolving. Have you considered the implications of "spray and pray," or pondered the mechanics of conscious objection? Here's your chance. We share stories about heroes who served under the radar in non-combat roles and the impact of war - physically, psychologically, and socially.

From amusing anecdotes about Australian beer-chugging to an open analysis of harvest rainwater and homegrown protein sources, we've pulled out all the stops. Mike’s wild encounters and tales from the homestead are sure to make this a ride you won't forget. We touch upon the importance of neighbors, the blissful morning alarm of roosters, and the beauty of a truly rural living experience. Stay with us till the end as we chat about our future plans for the podcast including a live video approach. So, grab your headphones or turn up your speakers, and let's get this party started!

Even if you listen back to thatepisode, though we didn't even
really talk about like that much, like like army shit, like we
did.

Ryno (01:42):
But we did.
But a lot of it got cut out.

Mike (01:45):
Yeah, there's a big, there's an archive somewhere of
an episode we can't air untilit's dead.

D (01:51):
One day like I think it's 25 years before it's declassified
and all this shit can finally.

Mike (01:56):
Oh, that's hot, so we can do.
That's good to know.

D (02:01):

Mike (02:01):
reminder down for 25 years 24 and a half years from today,
we're going to release the.

Ryno (02:08):

every single week.

Mike (02:15):
We've done it a ton every week.
Have it miss, it feels wild andwe get yeah, hey, we deserve
that.
We've not killed each other, orbeen canceled yet.

Ryno (02:25):
I feel like this is kind of a success.

Mike (02:26):
Well, we're not popular to be cancer.

Ryno (02:28):
That's fair enough.

Mike (02:29):
What are you going to cancel us?
You know.

D (02:31):
I can start a campaign.

Mike (02:32):
You start a campaign to get this canceled, it'll help
you get popular.
That there's no bad publicity.

D (02:37):
Which group are we going to appeal to?
Um, you got to be, I would makepodcasting great again.
You want to do that?

Ryno (02:45):
Are we going to do red hats, my kid asked for a Trump
flag the other day.
Oh, yeah.
And a Democratic House.
It's funny.

Mike (02:53):
It's just like who he hangs out with.
Oh, he's probably been at hisfriends family's house, yeah.

Ryno (02:58):
Yeah.

Mike (02:59):
Clay said something one day like he said Well, that team
lost because they kneeled forthe national anthem.

D (03:07):
And I was like nah yo, they lost because they don't have a
fucking quarterback.

Mike (03:11):
Yeah, you got to be better .
Yeah, they suck.
It's why they lost no karma.

D (03:17):
My kids have been fully indoctrinated by me just
screaming about taxes and howgovernment is corrupt and evil.
And so when you ask them likewhat do you think your president
, taxation is they have taxationis theft.

Mike (03:27):
Yeah, oh, it's all I can hear him saying that I can
absolutely.
Jude will run for office.

D (03:33):
Yeah, just robot his way through it.

Ryno (03:36):
I got so happy to see him there today.

D (03:37):
We can talk.

Ryno (03:38):
I'm going to be honest with you, like I love Jude, but
sometimes, like me and him arelike old water.

Mike (03:43):
Oh yeah.

Ryno (03:44):
I mean I love the kid.
He popped up at a football gamelike two weeks ago, right from
Will the wrestling coach.
He's like so I got threequestions, sir.
I mean Will's like yeah, fireaway.
He's like when do we start?
What days do we have inpractice home, and can I
practice with the high schoolers?
He's so funny, dude, he's likeyes yes and yes, he said a

(04:06):
couple of those questions werenot yes.

D (04:08):
I needed no dates.
I was like, shoot, we'll justkind of nodded.

Ryno (04:14):
I was like God, this kid's got a mustache and an attitude
now.

D (04:17):
I love it, and he's been killing it on the football field
.
He's just laying.
I'm telling you I look goodthere.

Mike (04:23):
I have to be his biggest like, his biggest like supporter
in the stands.
I know that's probably not truebut like every time he makes a
tackle, I stand up and I'm like,just fucking see that tackle.
Just see that tackle.
It was perfect.
He made an open field tacklethe other day at.

D (04:37):
The guy weighed a hundred more pounds than he did yeah,
yeah, wrap him up, slid down hisbody, took him to the ground.
It was beautiful.
The wrestling coach got excitedbecause Jude did a double leg
takedown on a kid.
Yeah, on the field, and thenone kid was holding him and he
was dragging him and Jude did asingle leg.

Mike (04:55):
Yeah.

D (04:56):
On him and wrote him down and was like, oh, I got to stop.

Mike (04:58):
And wrestling coach went.

D (05:00):
Yeah yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I mean, he'sexactly how he sounds.

Ryno (05:10):
That's how he sounds.
Oh, it's so great with the kids.
Oh, he's a great model.
But he is unintelligible.
Well, it's like last year.
I had to keep clear montharound.

Mike (05:20):
Oh, me too.
We all got the crud.
But.

D (05:26):
I beat you to it last week.

Mike (05:27):
Yeah, Mike was supposed to be here last week.
They got hotbed of this shitright now.

Ryno (05:32):
He was on the toilet.
Asher Last year was very docile, like he was playing good
football and like he waslearning and getting techniques
and things like that down, butthere's no aggressive bone in
his body.
And Carl Webb I love Carl.
Carl was like you really needto think about putting your kid
in wrestling and I was like Idon't know if he'd like it.
I didn't even really fully knowthat there was a youth

(05:54):
wrestling program around hereand they're like just come out
for like an open gym, try out,bring him down here, see how he
feels about it.
And the kid got twisted afterone practice.
He's like I love this.
It's unbelievable, but he keptgetting his ass kicked like over
and over and over and he wasgetting frustrated and went to
give up on it.
I'm like you don't remember.
These kids have been doing thisfor three and four years now.
Dude, give it time.
Goes to his first meet, getspaired against a girl and they

(06:17):
literally just circle each otherfor three periods.

D (06:19):
Yeah.

Ryno (06:19):
They didn't do anything Like it went to like some type
of?
You know, I still don'tunderstand sanctioned wrestling
rules and stuff.

D (06:26):
It's so convincing to get those boys ready to wrestle a
girl.
Yeah, it did, we did inpractice.

Ryno (06:32):
Well, at the time we didn't have a whole lot, yeah,
like there was.
There was no girls there whenwe first heard out.
Then your daughter popped upand then I cut Rory's doing it
this year.
Kind of want a couple of heckyeah, they said uh.
Levy's going to come out thisyear too.
Well leave you back.
So we're going to have a youknow, definitely a good
following there.
So his next match I think thefirst one.
He's like all right, I'mlearning all this.
And then they paired me with agirl.

(06:53):
I'm afraid of her.
Yeah, next match, the kids justlaying on him, smacking him in
the face and everything, andhe's just frustrated and he's
like I don't know what to do.
I said You're going to have totake it into your own hands, put
some like a collar tie and grabthis kid by the back of the
neck and throws him across themat and, like Spider-Man, leaps
on top of him.
I was like and it begins yeah,that's where you get Matt rubbed

(07:14):
like they.

D (07:14):
They rub, they're rubbing your face on the mat.
That's the worst freaked out sobad the first time.
I was like I was like you canjust not let him do it again.

Ryno (07:23):
Man, yeah, I was like okay , he got mad and that's when he
really kind of got twisted on me.
He ended up fighting, finishinglike fourth in the state for
his weight class and stuff.
But he progressively got moreand more aggressive as a year
went along, saying with Gabby,jude, you, you, you at least the
attitude check on him.
About three quarters waythrough the season we went to
that bill free tournament and hewent what?

D (07:43):
four or five?
Oh, after, after Heather talkedto him, he Metal top two or
three the rest of the season.

Mike (07:51):
Yeah, after Heather talked to him yeah.

D (07:53):
Heather.
Heather got on him.
He was going into state favoredin his weight class but got
that infection and couldn't go.
Yeah, I forgot about theinfection yeah.

Mike (08:04):
He was, he was, I swear.
I was like is that kid iswrestling?

Ryno (08:07):
I swear to God he had own in judo, oh yeah.

Mike (08:11):
He loves.

Ryno (08:11):
He loves being on his back .

D (08:12):
He does not.
I've tried to teach himsomething.
He cannot stand getting a limbpinned or oh yeah.
Can't do it, so he'll.
He'll probably never get intoit, but he loves wrestling,
cause he's bendy.

Ryno (08:25):
Yeah, I'm.
That's why, like when he's onhis back, I watch him reach
around back behind and pullsomething around, like fold him
up like a pretzel, and I waslike like you should have been
dead, like the match should havebeen over.

D (08:37):
I get so scared, that's why I have to stay way back.

Mike (08:41):
Yeah, he's funny, cause he can.
He can flip his legs backaround him.

D (08:45):
He looks like one of those freaky girls in the ring.
Yeah, Do that.

Mike (08:50):
I mean he can twist his Walking back downward Samara,
backward down steps.

Ryno (08:54):
It's super creepy, but that like we were saying like
long story short.
Back to that.
It's like like his wrestling.
My wrestling football coach hassomething to say.
He's a different kid.

D (09:04):
What happened.

Ryno (09:04):
I said I'm not going to be , I'm not going to lie and take
any credit or say we've donethis, this, this it's wrestling.

D (09:11):
Yeah, Well, you know all of Johnson central wrestling and
they're almost their whole statechampions a lot in both, yeah,
both.

Ryno (09:19):
And now look at Belfry.
Belfry has been doing it foryears.
Yeah, laurence Caring isstarting to show a strong youth
program.
They're always pretty decent atfootball.
You got all these other areasaround here.
I'm like so now we got this Pwe football thing going on.
David and mine, his young, ison the same team.
You know, right now we probablygot 60 kids in this or 45 to 60

(09:40):
kids in this youth footballleague, three of them maybe
actual wrestlers right now.
I'm like get these kidsinvolved now.
Yeah, everyone's like oh, Iwish my kid was as aggressive as
Asher.
Put him in wrestling.

D (09:52):
Yeah, you can only get beat so many.
You didn't win a match until wewent to state his first year.
That was the first.

Ryno (09:58):
It was like Gabby Gabby.
Gabby didn't pick up her firstone to region and I picked that
girl and ran around the gym withher region.
That's why I'm sorry, yeah,yeah.

Mike (10:04):
Then she started making kids cry, making boys cry yeah,
grabbing the back of their heads, the back of the back.
I hate that shit.

D (10:11):
She's got a good trajectory, wrestling wise.

Mike (10:15):
Yeah.

Ryno (10:15):
I feel like this is a good segue, because I actually have
some questions that just kind ofpopped up my head, because me
and you've actually hadconversations about it before.
I'm like you were in military.
I know hand to hand combat issomething that you were trained
in, but you're like that's not atype of wrestling that I can
teach children.

Mike (10:32):
So I was like, yeah, I understand that completely
Trying to pee and then trying tolive his two different things,
yeah.

D (10:36):
Well, we do.
Combattos is what it's called.
It's a mix of a bunch ofdifferent fighting styles and
the whole thing is to just hurtsomebody.
Really bad.

Mike (10:44):
Yeah.

D (10:44):
And so I was teaching a couple of my daughter and one of
her friends Some self-defensestuff, and I'm like teaching
them how to break the arm from,like you roll and trap, yeah.
And teaching them diamonds andstuff they're like.
Well, I don't know that I'mever going to use this?

Mike (11:03):
I don't know.

Ryno (11:04):
You're going to break anybody's arm.

D (11:05):
I was just looking to like slap him or run away, I was like
okay, well, I don't.

Ryno (11:08):
I don't play that way.
I don't know how to help you,so this is who you'll be taking
to the ground.

D (11:12):
Yeah, I was never the greatest at slathering.
I've had too many concussions,to stand there and get punched.

Mike (11:19):
Yeah.

D (11:19):
And so I'm just going to try to either hit you in the balls
or get you on the ground andbreak something.

Mike (11:24):
Yeah, he's going to learn to punch.
I'm a video game.
I'm going to learn to punch.

Ryno (11:28):
Video game nerd.
At the end of the day, favoritefranchise of all time, milga
solid.
You're playing the millionyears.

D (11:33):
Yeah, it's a good one.
I don't know about that.

Ryno (11:36):
So I mean, it's my personal.
I just like the story With theCQC that kind of came in and
snake ear and stuff.
Is that the type of stuff that?

D (11:43):
you guys can learn, I don't know, don't really remember them
.
I don't remember.
It's kind of a mix of wrestling, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and boxing
.

Ryno (11:50):
Is it different through each branch?
The military is differentversions of like hand hand.
The Marines have their own comp.

D (11:55):
I don't think the Navy and Air Force.

Mike (11:59):
He said I don't think the Navy learned anything.

D (12:00):
And the shade starts.
They're mostly into coding andI don't fucking know what they
do.

Mike (12:07):
Giving you rides.

D (12:08):
Yeah, that is their primary job.
I like their pilots.
They're all really great Taxiservice Slow stuff up.

Mike (12:13):
Solid taxi service.
They're their pilots.
Do blow shit up.
That is true.
Slow stuff up.

D (12:18):
We met a Delta Force operator in Iraq and he said his primary
weapon was a laser pointer.

Mike (12:24):
That's odd.

D (12:25):
Blow up buildings.

Mike (12:27):
Oh my gosh.

D (12:28):
All of us, we were just, I was just like a specialist and
we were all big army turds andwe're like who, who, who, yeah.

Ryno (12:37):
I can only imagine though, like that kind of power.
It's like I'm going point thisand that's going grumble.

D (12:42):
There's nothing.
There has to be like a God,like freaking you know issue
that you go through with edges.

Mike (12:49):
The whole like drone thing , though right, cause that's
like whether that's yeah, causeit's like whether it's ethical
or not, I was like I was like Iwas like it's what, there's
nothing ethical about the wholesituation.

D (12:59):
Why is she anyway?
We're not carpet bombinganywhere.
Be heavy.

Mike (13:02):
Yeah, right, it could be a lot worse.
Vietnam, right yeah, there's nonapalm.

D (13:06):
We're doing much better.

Mike (13:07):
Yeah.

Ryno (13:09):
I mean you've got literally equipment.

Mike (13:11):
Not much, I mean, we're doing better.

Ryno (13:13):
I mean there's a difference between carpet
bombing and these freakingdrones launching a missile.

D (13:17):
I'm talking like we're really good at killing people.
Wait better how are you talking?
About.
Well, that's what I mean.
Okay, we're really good at itnow, like we can put a bomb in a
living room.
That really makes me feel safe,don't worry.

Mike (13:30):
Nobody wants to bomb us.

Ryno (13:31):
Nobody wants to bomb Make Roberts.
Nobody really wants to.

D (13:34):
America in general is not the one you want to poke.
Yeah yeah, we didn't do well inIraq and Afghanistan because
it's like it's not a real war.
Don't blow everybody up Likeyou start like Russia.
Get funky.

Mike (13:49):
What Hold on we?
Would fuck everything, it's nota real war.

D (13:52):
Don't blow anything up.
It was more like a policeaction.

Ryno (13:55):
Yeah, okay, they're in a holding pattern and they're like
we want you to show that we'rehere pretty much not to be
fucked with, but don't go fuckshit up.

D (14:03):
Well, it was like don't kill them until they're directly
shooting it, and you were likethat seems like the bad time to
shoot.

Mike (14:08):
I can see them After.
I'm ready to shot at you, freakme out.

Ryno (14:12):
Like you watch Black Hawk Down.
It's like you know rules ofengagement Do not fire until
fired upon.
It just feels like bad juju.
Well, they made ours like itwas subjective too.

D (14:23):
It's like do you feel threatened by this person?
If so, you can shoot them.
And so we were basically doingthey're coming straight for me.
Defense from South Park.

Mike (14:34):
You know, that's what I was getting ready to say.
I'm actually, you know what?
I'm threatened by everybody,yeah.
I don't look at me cross threat, threat, threat, threat, threat
, threat.

D (14:45):
It's.
That's the way it is you knowLook at that.
They didn't have to theyweren't like oh, we can't blow
them up there and look at me,you know so I feel like people
don't.

Mike (14:56):
People want to look at you , for you to be threatened by
them?
I don't think I.

D (14:59):
Mean you can't shoot me if you don't look at me.

Mike (15:00):
I guess Is that true?
I?

D (15:03):
guess they did, they did the.

Mike (15:05):
I was gonna say there's a lot of people don't know how to
use guns a lot of years of war.

Ryno (15:08):
I feel like you can blind cover fire, I feel like they
were looking at me when they gotme.

D (15:12):
You know I don't want to believe that I got hit by a
spray and pray.

Mike (15:16):
So if our reference for Military is just straight video
games, Straight video games andmovies, I don't know.

D (15:22):
Last night asked me if flash bangs and Call of Duty were
accurate.

Mike (15:27):
Said no, your vision recovers.

D (15:29):
Yeah, yeah I'd say, did you want to bomb it?

Mike (15:31):
Yeah, right, that makes you actually throw up.
Yeah, well, game was that?
That?
It was like Battlefield doesreally good.
I guess I love battlebattlefield like brags about
them been really like there'sbullet dropping everything.
Yeah, and like game I play andgrenades like kill you from much
further away than well, no,it's a, it's a fire, it's got.

D (15:50):
they went a long way to get ballistics and explosion like
it's a Radius.
Yeah, that's where I was atwith the actual radius of a hand
grenade is the kill.

Mike (15:59):
Yeah, and it's like if you're near a tank when it fires
, you're like fucking whole head, yeah, I always feel like so
there we go.

D (16:07):
Accurate representation it's battlefield is, if you like, the
World War.
One battlefield is probably myfavorite war game of all time.

Mike (16:15):
We should all just play battlefield and and stream it.

D (16:18):
I love for field for content not 2042.

Mike (16:22):
Yeah.
Not that shit start, get thatone got horrible reviews three
give me a Korean War War game.
No World.

D (16:30):
War two no.
Vietnam.
You can't make it.
That's a little sensitive.
Loosening a game yeah, yeah,it's true, like in order to be
the good guy or the winners, yougotta pick a side, you lose.
Yeah, yeah, he went, but didyou.

Mike (16:48):
Yeah, so it's Korean.

D (16:49):
War man.
Like it's kind of a push whenwe got out of it.
But at least there's a coollike you get World War two stuff
plus jets.

Mike (16:57):
It's touchy right.

D (16:59):
Korean War.
I don't even talk about theKoreans.
Yeah, well, I'm, I know but IJust mean what are they gonna do
?

Mike (17:08):
I don't know, I don't know .
That's the thing I don't know.
You probably know more than Iwould.

Ryno (17:13):
I took a middle note About the military the day, because I
was waiting on this actuallyhave this again and this is
going to stand incrediblyuneducated.
I just don't know.
You ever seen hacksaw Ridge?

D (17:22):
I've not watched it now.

Ryno (17:23):
Okay, so it's about it.

D (17:24):
What's bottom?
Oh, I know, Desmond Doss yeahso what?

Ryno (17:27):
what will they call it?
I can't ever say this word.
Conscious objector yeah,conscious.

D (17:31):
Is that still a thing today?
I have no idea.
More of a draft era thingthat's what I was thinking a
conscious is like You're notgonna walk into this office to
be like I don't approve of whatyou do Always felt like it was a
draft thing.

Ryno (17:49):
I wasn't sure if, like sure, you sure hecklers do that
at comedy shows that they do.

D (17:54):
I don't agree with what you're saying.
Yeah, but you can't get shotfor being a douchebag in there
when my mind, I guess, completeopposite to me.

Mike (18:02):
Take a shot from in a douchebag.

D (18:04):
Okay, yeah, but I I'm an unpleasant person.

Ryno (18:09):
I don't think that's true.
My brain, when I guess adifferent scope away from like
the draft, you know kind ofthing that you said a moment ago
is like is there a way forsomeone that wants to serve and
Basically treat it like a careerbut not actually be like combat
ready, is there?

D (18:23):
a way for them to go and say I want to do this, this and this
, and this, this, but I don'twant to shoot anybody like it,
but the bulk of the UnitedStates military outside of I'm
gonna say like 12% of the entireUS military, is non, non direct
combat.

Mike (18:38):
I was thinking.

D (18:39):
I think that I think that our numbers for the global war on
terror is something like 1 to 3%of the veterans Actually saw
combat.
Really, people like you don'tcount.
Getting mortared on these basesare the size of the cities.
You've got 20, 30,000 peopleliving on them or more, and and
a mortar lands somewhere on thiscity and they go.

(19:02):
Oh my god, we're in combat, butwere you, you know so the bulk
of people don't never.

Mike (19:08):
I guess I know that I mean makes sense.

D (19:11):
The vast majority of people that go to combat Action marks
don't actually see any combat.

Ryno (19:17):
So when you you quote combat as rifle in hand, direct
contact with the enemy.

Mike (19:22):
Yeah, ever had a working end of a rifle point at you.

D (19:24):
Yeah, have you.
Have you?
Has somebody tried to kill you?

Mike (19:28):
Yeah, not.

D (19:29):
Someone like somebody trying to kill somebody.

Mike (19:33):
Specifically with someone's goal to kill you.
Yeah.

D (19:36):
I'm excuse.
I think that's the bigdistinguisher for me and, like I
know, for a lot of veteransfrom my line of work.
You know you come home andeverybody was a war hero.
But there's a bill Burge oak.
He's talking about that.
He's like, sure, the pilotsthat go and drop bombs or heroes
, but is the guy that pointsthem in the direction right a

(19:59):
hero?
And, like I, heroes are in theground.
Oh, yeah heroes.
That's fine, and put fuel insome of these trucks or fix a
helicopter's tire.
You know what I mean.

Mike (20:14):
So there's a huge difference and there are a whole
polyshore movie about it.

D (20:21):
There is a person I know who joined the Army?
And was that in the waterpurification?
Oh yes.
And when we came, I was in thesame unit as Elm on a deployment
, and when we came home he wasJohnny fucking Rambo, oh no the
war stories told people that hewas hanging off the bottom of a
helicopter shooting machine guns.

(20:42):
Just nonsense.
Nobody actually does that no no,there's not a job where they're
like hey, we're going to dangleyou with two machine guns from
this perfectly good helicopterwith two machine guns on it
there's no need for it.
No.

Mike (20:58):
Are you sure?
Because I was there.

D (20:59):
I mean more, I was literally thinking of sports Now you're
when you said that, but the moreguns you can get, the better.
But I feel like that's anunnecessary risk, especially
because there's probably a gunon the helicopter.

Mike (21:10):
There's two.
Yes, you probably don't need tohang out the bottom of it and
shoot.

D (21:14):
There's two to three on every helicopter you're going to fly
on.

Mike (21:17):
So that are very powerful.

D (21:19):
Well, there are at least a two, a seven, six, two or 50 cow
the Marines use the wholepowers and presently means back
in the early war, the earlyglobal war on it.
Like Iraq, the Marines woulduse the cobras, which has that
super fast mini gun on it, andthey would fly with Huey's and
the Huey's had a mini gun on oneside and a 50 cal on the other

(21:43):
and it would look like they werejust pouring lava on people
when we would get in firefightsat night and those birds would
come in.

Mike (21:49):
Just because the heat coming off of it is just streams
of yeah, like the videos lookfake.
Yeah, the videos look fake.

D (21:56):
Yeah, it looks like they're pouring lava on, have you?

Mike (21:58):
ever seen that it's beautiful.
They look like it's literallylike just yeah, it's like really
cool Watching everybody.

Ryno (22:04):
It looks like a laser.
Yeah, speaking of lights, itwas like one of the coolest
things I've ever seen is we'retalking about American
gladiators?

Mike (22:11):
No, yes laser was the best .

D (22:13):
Laser was amazing.
I'm talking about where my ormy guys.

Ryno (22:18):
I don't know what it's called, but like you'll see
videos kind of like you weretalking about like a mortar get
dropped in the city All of asudden, someone's like launching
missiles or whatever it is andall of a sudden I don't know
what it's like an anti-missilething.
It goes, it's just like a laser.
What's it do?
Can we get that sound?
It's like how it sounds likelike the iron dome thing.
Yeah, what are?

D (22:37):
those things.
I don't know what the gun iscalled, but it's a mini gun,
yeah, and it operates off radarand it shoots down mortars.
Those things are freakingamazing to watch when we would
go to the big places, like wherethe airfields are, when we were
moving in and out of thecountry.
You can hear those guns go offand it's just you know, and then
you hear a little poof.
I like it.
Oh, hello, and the first timeyou hear it like what, the what

(23:01):
is going?

Mike (23:01):
on.
She's protecting this.

D (23:02):
It's you just heard a fart and a poof.

Mike (23:05):
It's all like automated shooting.

D (23:06):
Yeah.
Yeah, there's not a dudesitting there with the joystick
shooting.
Yeah, it's like you know zoomLike even let's talk about the
real war.

Mike (23:15):
the real war that matters, the war on drugs.
That is the one that's the realone that we lost, real.
No wait.
Congratulations, war on winningthe war on drugs.

D (23:28):
Well, america's been losing wars a lot over the last 50, 60
years, so why not just another?

Mike (23:35):
Yeah, I mean I read that it was talking about, like the
reason the quality of THC inAmerica is so good is because
the war on drugs, because westopped getting it from Mexico.

D (23:49):
Oh, because we started getting more and we just grow it
better here.
Never, I mean, that's how wegot the best, but this
prohibition, oh my God.

Ryno (23:57):
So this nerve pain.
I'm sorry, I did not mean toscream out loud, no, you're okay
, we all thought you did.
But like the side of nervegoing down, my, like my freaking
hip now, like every time Icough through this sickness, it
feels like my hamstrings, terry,yeah.
So like a shotgun went off andyou died from it, it's the worst
feeling in the world and alsokind of reverberates like up
into my tailbone.

(24:18):
I had to be quite so much painin your life I'm always in pain,
like I'm fucking mobility andeverything, Mike just you're not
a pain.

D (24:26):
Don't be a bitch.
How easily can you go through ametal detector?

Ryno (24:31):
That's not good, listen, I'm not comparing myself to you,
mitch Morley flexible over here.
I'm just saying I hurt.

Mike (24:41):
I hurt flexible.

Ryno (24:43):
I had, like I've been thinking of like weird random
questions.
I apologize if he seems stupid,it's just I want to hear him
talk about fire.

Mike (24:50):
I don't know why you're looking at me like I'm a judge.

Ryno (24:52):
I'm sorry, she put like I don't, like I've never asked a
lot of dangerous game, becauseI'm no.

D (24:57):
like.
The reason they don't do thequestion and answer thing at the
middle school anymore isbecause they did a veterans day
program.
Hey, we're not at a middleschool, oh I know.
But they asked me somethingabout like, have you ever been
in a tank?
And I was like no, tankers area bunch of God.
All right, yeah.

Mike (25:15):
I'm going to censor that.

Ryno (25:17):
So let's go and write down 31.
So I don't know how much likefilm and stuff you watch like
nowadays, but like is there likeone more movie where you're
like they got it right, Likeevery part of this just feels
authentic to the point, likeOppenheimer not seen yet.

D (25:39):
I'm not seeing any yet.
Barbie really nailed it.

Ryno (25:44):
Who's not asking.
I think we may even broughtthis up on the previous episode.
I'm not sure, but I had a, anex, years and years and years
ago.
They said like I mean, he has,you know, real bad PTSD and
things like that.
Wait time out.

Mike (25:58):
Hold on what, what you didn't ex.

Ryno (26:01):
And he was an ex's father.
Yeah, I probably should livewith that, my bad.

D (26:06):
I felt like I learned something.
I was like what I need, thesoft?

Ryno (26:12):
I got out of literally got way too far.

Mike (26:15):
I wish people could see me in my clock eyes Like what do
you say?

Ryno (26:19):
They're handing me more alcohol to get back on track.

D (26:22):
Hey, my ex's father.

Ryno (26:25):
There we go.
I think it was black Hawk down,say.
When he watched black Hawk down, like they say, he pretty much
went in the basement lockedhimself.

D (26:35):
Yeah, I would not really bothered him.
No black Hawk down is JoshHarding lines man.

Mike (26:40):
Okay, all right.
Yeah, that's not even a goodthing.
I can't take that serious.

D (26:44):
I think this is the second time I've been on the podcast
and that movie.

Ryno (26:49):
What's funny is that, like Gene Hackman, Does he just
likes old Wilson, who doesn't?

Mike (26:54):
I can't picture him.
I recently watched meet theFockers or meet the meet the
parents and he's hilarious.
And meet the parents you justnow seen it.

Ryno (27:01):
No, I just watched it again Is that shit yeah.

Mike (27:06):
Yeah, you never.
You can have whatever you like.
That's, that's what we're at.
I don't even have a wittycomeback.
This, this podcast, is a mess,honestly.

Ryno (27:21):
It sounds like a publicly out of myself a moment ago.

D (27:23):
Yeah you did really.
I felt like we should hug, yeah, kiss.

Ryno (27:27):
I'm afraid you'll call me the word that you called the
tankers minute together.

D (27:36):
I was just saying it came naturally I am a millennial.

Mike (27:41):
I guess they like, look at you, like why teachers were
terrified and one kid.

D (27:47):
One kid asked me if I killed people.
I was like a couple times.

Mike (27:52):
Yeah, a little bit.

D (27:53):
Yeah, it was my job.

Ryno (27:55):
You don't ask that stuff in a middle school Say middle
school Q&A.

Mike (27:59):
They should not get middle school Q&A especially because,
like those kids play a lot ofCall of Duty?
Yes, they do, and they havequestions?
Ask the dumbest questions.

Ryno (28:08):
You still ain't hit me with the movie.
Do you get revives?
Oh, he's still not.
Gave me a movie.
He's gonna give me a movieBlackout Down's really good.

D (28:13):
Oh, low in survivor.

Mike (28:21):
I'm not cutting that in silence.
It was awesome.

D (28:24):
And I mean there's not a lot.
See, I'm not saying loans forrobbery.
Loans for robbery is great.
It's one of the few I'vewatched.
I watch.

Mike (28:29):
America's.

D (28:30):
Sniper, but I don't remember enough of it to say whether it
was good or not?
It's bullshit I've heard.
I will say this America'sSniper had the terrain like when
they were in the cities in Iraq.

Ryno (28:42):
They had the setting and stuff was pretty spot on.

D (28:44):
Like they had the visuals very good.

Mike (28:47):
Do you feel like if they were really accurate, they'd
probably just be?

D (28:50):
boring.
Yes, right, that's because it'snot like extremely boring yeah.

Mike (28:53):
It's not like like those, like war movies, like they're
like, they're in action all thetime.
I was like it's a lot more likeLord of the Rings, they're just
walking a lot, a lot of walking, a lot of walking.
Eating just bread, yeah, justhanging out with a bunch of
dudes who stink farting and shitlike all the time.
It's awful.
It's really like being afraternity, but there's no class
, there's none.
God's best way.

Ryno (29:12):
I've ever heard that.

D (29:12):
Chalked up.
There's neither class to attendnor class in the people.

Mike (29:17):
That's what I mean, that's it's bad.

D (29:20):
We are the.
You know you have Columbiagraduates and high school
dropouts, yeah, and no matterlike, no matter how
sophisticated and well educatedyou are, you end up coming down
to you end up at about 17.
No matter how old you are nomatter how young you are.

Mike (29:43):
you're somewhere between 17 and 18 for a hour or longer,
or you're just going to getfucking destroyed Like can't
hang, yeah, you can't.
Well, if you, if you can't hang, then you just can't hang.
You're not going to make it.

D (29:53):
You're not going to make it, you get out in four years.
Like back in the day you couldtell who was going to make it by
who smoked cigarettes rightafter the PT test run.

Ryno (30:03):
You run two miles and then you like, you know you're a
real man.

D (30:06):
That dude's going to have a platoon.

Ryno (30:08):
That'll be fun company someday, you know so second
question so I know, like withour American military you have
like the seals Rangers, thingslike what's the baddest of the
bad in your opinion?
Delta, Delta, yeah.

D (30:25):
Without a doubt.
Without a doubt.

Mike (30:27):
Like Chuck Norris, yeah, no.

D (30:29):
Charlie Sheen.
Yeah, oh no, that was NavySeals.
Wait, which one was Delta Force, charlie you know you were
right.

Mike (30:37):
I think it's Chuck Norris, yeah.

D (30:38):
It was Navy Seals.
Yeah, those guys are.

Mike (30:40):
I was thinking Charlie Sheen was in hotshots.
He was.
That's what I was thinkingCharlie Sheen hotshots Part two.

D (30:46):
Part two.
Which one was the one that hadthe Martin Sheen cameo where he
was doing the apocalypse nowthing.

Ryno (30:53):
So God I love apocalypse.

D (30:55):
now Charlie Sheen is coming down the river writing in his
diary.
And is that?

Mike (31:00):
It's the second one because he's Rambo in the second
one.

D (31:03):
Yeah, yeah, he's right, that's it.

Mike (31:04):
Yeah.

D (31:04):
So they're both doing the read their letter overlap.

Mike (31:07):
Yeah, and they meet.

D (31:08):
It's a wonderful moment.
That's the most realistic deltais army.

Ryno (31:13):
Well, it's not necessarily army, it's just a special
pre-match.

Mike (31:16):
Like you, can try out for it.

D (31:18):
Then you know SEAL.
Team Six is obviously bad asfuck.
And then SEAL.

Mike (31:24):
Team Six.

D (31:26):
So yeah, that's more accurate .
They got beautiful hair man.

Mike (31:30):
They really take care of the.
They do One of the things youhave to be pretty.

D (31:33):
One of the finest mustaches I've ever seen in my life,
really.

Ryno (31:37):
So what's the difference between Delta and like SEAL Team
Six?
Seal Team Six does more stuff,that's I don't know, like I'm
one's equated to.

D (31:45):
things got blurry with the war on terror and everybody
started having the same kind ofmissions.
And so back in the day, likekill till basically done like
water to land, assault Thingslike that they used to have it
Well and they still haveindividual missions within their
programs, and now especially,you know, but still just as
boring as.
No their jobs less boringbecause, they don't really have

(32:07):
to go out and do bullshit, Likeif they go do something they're
doing something.

Ryno (32:10):
They're going out to do they get to have fun yeah.

Mike (32:16):
I mean that's what it is.

D (32:17):
I mean if you're a pitcher and you train your whole life to
pitch and you get a chance togo play in the pros.
Oh, it's, that's what you want,right.

Ryno (32:25):
Like I mean break it down that way.

D (32:27):
The minute you get like you train and train to go to war and
when they're fine, like hey, go.

Mike (32:31):
Yeah, that's fucking awesome.
And you can't say you didn'thave fun, you'd be lying.
Yeah, like it's much more funthan like you're, like what you
do day to day now.

D (32:42):
Yeah, oh God yes.
But like my wife and I wereactually talking within the last
week about PTSD and I and it'sjust crazy it comes up but I
said the PTSD from the war ishard but I have more happy, fun
memories than I have bad, badmemories.

(33:04):
Yeah, and just the bad memoriesare such big moments.
Yeah, they do kind of cast ashadow everything, but the bulk
of the times I'm remembering mywar experiences.
It's when we played Candylandout on this OP.
You know we had this.

Mike (33:21):
Was this a copy of Candyland you found there?

D (33:23):
No, we had one I mean it's my sent it to us.

Mike (33:26):
What a game to send you.

D (33:28):
We probably requested.
We were weird.
This was the platoon that youcan see it, yeah we were the
last boys.
Tinkerbell was our logo.
I call the dudes in the platoon.
Had these really girly.

Mike (33:39):
When you kill people for a living, you can do whatever you
want, yeah that's, and Iactually say people are like
you're a little white.

D (33:45):
Why do you paint your feet, you know?
So I'm like, well, I'm killed.
Enough people to do where thefuck I want.

Mike (33:48):
Yeah, yeah, this point in my life, hold new one for the
flagship.
That was me.

Ryno (33:53):
I've literally said that for him before you want to do it
.
I've said that for you before.
Like someone said, why doesthis motherfucker always wear
yellow crocs?
I'm like you go ask him, dowhatever, because I'm not dead.

D (34:07):
Right.
I started wearing crocs.
My first deployment, yellowcrocs, because they said get
some shower shoes that aresubdued.
I might have already told thisstory, I don't know.
And I was like fuck it, let'sget some yellow ones, and I
asked Heather some to me and andI've been leave because I'm not
dead yeah, and I've been init's become a symbol, now more.
I've, I've.
I've been in situations where Ishould have got dead in these

(34:30):
shoes.
Yeah and I'm not, so I figure,why fuck with it?
I still, if I wear boots, Iwear my socks inside out, and
I'll only use yellow liners.

Mike (34:41):
If, why do you wear your socks inside?

D (34:43):
out.
Yeah, because one day I almostgot dead and I had my socks
inside out and I've worn them.
Anytime I wear boots or I'minside out.

Mike (34:50):
Now that's a good reason man Like imagine you get on a
good hitting streak yeah so youget the football game the other
day You're wearing like yourclothes, because it was eighth
grade night, so you're likewearing like clothes, clothes,
yeah.
And everybody was like who thefuck is that?

Ryno (35:04):
Yeah, I saw that night.
They freaked me out.

Mike (35:07):
I was like it's toes like he's in.
He's in pants.
People get freaked out by pantsand shoes and you were so
uncomfortable You're likefucking shaking legs.

Ryno (35:14):
What is going on with these pants?
I can't stand it.
So the inverse right, we saidbasically, you said Delta or
still team six outside of the US.
What do you consider the?

D (35:26):
baddest of the bad.
My favorite people are thespecial boat service from the UK
and.
Special boat service.
Yeah, they're like the Navy,the water SAS.

Mike (35:38):
Okay, that's so much cooler name than maybe Cool
special boat service it is well.

D (35:43):
I mean, it's their seals, basically yeah.
And then the Aussie SAS arecool.

Ryno (35:48):
I've heard the Aussies are wild one that I always have.
That pops up like when I'm likeI've watched videos and stuff.
The Mossad was a Israeli Mossadusually comes up quite a bit.
I don't know, I don't knowenough about it.

Mike (36:01):
But the all about it, when I know about it, cool comes
from a rain, comes from rainbowsix.
Yeah, that's like, that's allthe classes are just like,
because very mostly exists,mostly like the Olympics of all
of my knowledge of Australia.

D (36:14):
New Zealand is sland Bluey and fly the Concord's, that's
all I blow you.

Mike (36:21):
You was a lot of blue, a lot of bluey, it's got what.
Oh, I don't have a kid youngenough to watch blue.
Oh man, it's easy, you guyshave, you guys watch, so did
y'all hear about the hittingstuff From blue.

Ryno (36:31):
I never knew this was a thing.
What so in every single episodeof blue there's a hidden wiener
dog Inside the episode and it'snot just like it, like a
leaving moving around, one Likeit will be like stitched into
the couch or like stitched in.
There will be like a pattern ona cabinet door.

D (36:48):
But every single episode there's a hit one Is this like
an old school Disney wiener,wiener dog.

Mike (36:56):
It's an actual box.

D (36:57):
Oh, I love the show it's the best.

Ryno (36:59):
It's an actual box and but it's, it's hidden in every
single episode.
Dox and.

Mike (37:06):
Dox soon, that's it.

Ryno (37:08):
It's legitimately here.
Like we watched a coupleepisodes because my cousins
heard her husband toast about it, I was like I'll bullshit.
They're like no, seriouslywatch this.

D (37:16):
We sit down and watch the whole episode.
Look for the screenshots.
That takes the fun out of it.

Mike (37:23):
Yeah, it's just, it's cheat.
Cc that website, remember thatshit.
Yeah, she's, he's.
He gave genie, damn man.
Yeah, that was wild.

D (37:32):
I have to tell the saucy story till it, love it.
I got love that.
We triggered it.
I got rocked and was that withthe hospitals or cash or
whatever?
The hospital and this may?
I think it was in Afghanistan,but I don't know for sure.
And I'm in there in my bed andI'm asleep and I get woken up by

(37:52):
like loud people being happy.
I'm like this is not the timenor the place.

Mike (37:58):
Get out of here.

D (37:58):
Don't be happy here and I look over and it's a bunch of
Aussies and they've got the notlike Little bottles of beer but
like the big, tall bottles ofbeer and they're all just
passing around with this dudewho's like.

Mike (38:11):
Take one down, pass it around probably.

D (38:13):
I don't want to exaggerate, but like when you picture a
person all banged up likeWrapped in all the bandages and
shit, just like his whole rightside and his head and everything
Up here was wrapped up and he'ssitting there just chugging the
beers and I'm Shocked and theyturn around and it's like a

(38:33):
major and a lieutenant colonel.
These are super high rankingnice officers and a private and
a corporal.
So like this is the full gambitof ranks.
Just get sitting there, tossand back tons of beer, and I've
never hated being an AmericanMore in my hair.

(38:53):
No, I think you see that theperson that came from my unit to
visit me was like okay, you'reokay, here's some scrubs.
And they gave me some Scrubs towear and a Jimmy.
I don't know what they're.
We call them Jimmy Dean's meals.

Mike (39:07):
Do people.
Why do you want Australia?

D (39:10):
No, Australia just does whatever us in Britain do.
Oh.

Mike (39:14):
Yeah, I mean World War II was not great for them.

D (39:17):
Well, sure, but I mean, I started never personally got,
took it did.

Mike (39:22):
I mean, it's a long way there from, yeah, from anywhere.
Right, that's the thing.
It's because it the lockup sayit doesn't exist.

Ryno (39:27):
I have no desire to go there none Middle Earth is down
there.

D (39:32):

God, I hope I kissed.

Ryno (42:31):
It's brought things that I can't say on the air.
I think we need to go to abreak.
I need to hash this out realquick.
I want more questions.
You'll get them after the break.
So you're in, you're emutin, sowe can't talk about dicks and
body hair anymore.

Mike (42:47):

Mike (42:53):
I only have one of the things you mentioned only one of
them in abundance.
I have no body hair.

Ryno (42:59):
Yeah, it's weird.

Mike (43:00):
Yeah, I'm like just on top of my head.
That's it.
Did you get the penis?

D (43:05):
Or you didn't get the body hair.
Did you get the?

Mike (43:06):
penis.
Are you asking me?

both.
You said you know, I don't haveexcessive amount of either of
them.

Mike (43:19):
I have a very little I have a very little amount of
either of them.

D (43:23):
That's not fair, no it seems bad Greek tragedy.

Mike (43:29):
That's okay, because I can make you laugh, it's true.

Ryno (43:33):
It goes a long way.
You have to learn that at anearly age.

Mike (43:36):
Yeah, what can I do?

D (43:39):
I think one of us have are compensating for some shit and
oh yeah, that's the reason we'resitting here telling jokes to
the strangers.

Mike (43:48):
That's what we're talking to people we were probably never
meet.

Ryno (43:50):
Yeah, or at least we think we are people actually don't
listen to this.
It's funny.
I think about what's superfunny is.

Mike (44:00):
I think about our stats all the time, like I think about
, like our downloads, and thenI'm like, oh yeah, we got people
listening to the show.
And then I think maybe it mightjust be like all my devices and
all Ryan's devices, and it'slike and nobody, everybody's got
auto downloads for five devicesat home so maybe nobody listens
to the show.

D (44:20):
This is just shower conversations pretty much you
have it at other people.

Funny story my new job that I start, uh, monday, has a
paid lunch.

Well, what?

Mike (44:35):
is this.
That's like I don't know if Ihave to quit, or like I look
with a show.

clip every day Titled paid lunchyeah, where you're fucking off
during lunch.

throw it on the ground.

be good if you ate it and thenjust throw it away.

Will I go for cowdy deterrence?
Yeah, they probably not a bigfan of your residence.

It's neat to be able to Provideyour own protein.
Yeah, it's neat that we can.
If I want a chicken soup, I cankill a chicken and make soup.

Mike (51:31):

That's what we kind of talkedabout with Eric too.
It's like I dig that, the likea whole home stating approach.

Ryno (51:37):
Yeah, I've been able to of course it's.

Mike (51:39):
I know you're not like on that level of being able to
homestead, but you can do thingslike that.

D (51:43):
Yeah.
I mean we we push ourselves Ina lot of ways, like we've got
our own water Reserves and stuff, so, like during the flood, we
weren't without water.
That was nice.
Yeah, we harvest rainwater.
I mean we do a little bit ofstuff, but we're not trying to
go hardcore because we live inthe 21st century.

Ryno (52:04):
Yeah, we live in macroberts.

D (52:07):
It's hard to get away with a lot of it.
Well, no, I don't give a fuck.
What are they gonna do?
No, I don't mean that.
I'm just saying macroberts, I'mjust.
I just go up on the hill andtake whatever I want.

Mike (52:15):
It's nice, but I like your setup there.

D (52:18):
No, it's not bad, you know where the farm's behind it.
It's, it's all local, it's allclose and enough.
You know, my goats do theirthing.

Ryno (52:27):
How does the neighbors feel about it?
Was there problems at first,but now they're just like hey, I
fuck it.
I've never asked, Nothing'sever been said.

D (52:35):
Yeah, it's mine.

Mike (52:36):
Yeah, I own it.

D (52:39):
You could my name See.
I'm lucky to have pretty coolneighbors so I never asked
because they've let me know howcool they think it is to wake up
to roosters crowing.
It's pretty neat.
You live in the country, youget a country experience.
You know we got horses up onthe hill name roosters crowing.
Let's the neighbors have thehorses there.

(52:59):
Yeah the goats out runningaround.
We've, we've got a cool country.
I know who you're talking aboutnow with uh suburban
Convenience.

Mike (53:10):
I like the sound of a rooster in the morning.
I love it.
It's weird, but like I likethey wake us up.

D (53:14):
They literally I sleep with the laundry room window open, so
I can hear like predators arecoming and every morning they
wake us up.

Ryno (53:21):
You know they start crowing about an hour before
sunrise and like your neighboryou just talked about with the
horses and stuff, like it tookme a second to realize exactly
what you were saying, but likewho you were speaking to, but
they're like a fucking nationaltreasure me.
Oh, absolutely, because I meanFor people that don't live
around here.
One of the coolest thingsgrowing up is, on halloween,

(53:42):
going looking for the headlesshorseman.
He had a full blown headlesshorseman costume.
Yeah, the full, get up andwould literally go out on this
fucking horse and ride up anddown through the neighborhood.

D (53:53):
And he's really cool about exposing my kids to the horse
and letting them interact withthe horse and stuff.

Ryno (53:57):
You know that's so awesome .

D (53:59):
But like we all that, because they're horse people and We've
got a little there's a layer ofrespect We've got an overlapping
thing that we all get alongvery well with.
Yeah, I love that.

Ryno (54:15):
It would be hard to have neighbors that hate it Roosters
that's reason why I was kind ofasking, like if you kind of fell
into a good area.

D (54:22):
I did.

Ryno (54:22):
I got very lucky lucky.
Considered.
You know it's.

Mike (56:38):
Yeah, that'd be great like the community's here like to
build something out like that.

Ryno (56:41):

D (56:42):
I think it's doing enough there.

Ryno (56:44):
No, it's not used for any no communities do those.
