Thank you Greg great podcast...you are the best!

Great conversation! Love you guys! Thanks ❤️✨

[@SlyFunkyMonk]

great interview, thanks for the pods.

[@tarae5380]

Thats why it saddens me when military ppl get out and cant find jobs and are disrespected. We should have specific jobs for those with specific training. Fyi: I do know that the post office must hire military ppl if they apply within 6 months of getting out, even in the middle of hiring freezes.

[@ryancj1542]

And now im drinking a bottle of water lol

[@botmon.]

Loved the conversation I just wish Ali had some tissue

[@nicologiardina1408]

Fitz Dog!!!

[@ryanschwaigert]

Greg - an injury suffered during BUDs and into Hell Week gets rolled back to the upcoming class. They wouldn’t kick him out unless his injury couldn’t be healed or if it was so severe that he wouldn’t have full function…or it was something else he got kicked out for.

[@crypticalenvelopment]

The Bear is stressed out.

[@ukamateurtennisdoubles]

Sorry if this is answered within the interview but I want to ask before I forget…..which radio station is Ali on for 5 hours per day? I’d love to give it a listen. Love you Greg

[@JBGC916]

Somewhere in Houston i believe

[@ukamateurtennisdoubles]

@@JBGC916 Thanks, I found it- Majic 102.1. Unfortunately can’t get it in the UK.

[@MrsNewland318]

Majic 102.1

[@lisamclaurinholt3196]

Ali, I don't know if black women or white women had you in HR like a kid in tbe Principal's office. As a black woman, I have seen black women put brakes on the careers of black men quicker than others. Spellman chicks (nicest words I can use) slowed NELLY'S roll more than a decade before CANCEL CULTURE hit the scene. I watch shows just because you are on. Dave Chappelle is the only other person I will step into unfamiliar territory for because I know it's worth it.❤

[@ggh1057]

I come to be entertained not to be the entertainment

[@Crenshaw17]

I’m not big fan of surprises. I can appreciate anticipation

[@jaydubs1720]

3000 dollar dog and the poor thing can't be inside that's foul man

[@ScorpionP2C]

Show starts at 23 minutes in kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZqkhYaYZtmje6s

[@tarae5380]

Ali Sadiq is so on point when he talked about comedians that do crowdwork over and over. It gets to a point where it's not funny anymore and then Greg says "I'm not going to mention his name" well I know one that's been doing it a lot and I noticed it's not funny and I've stopped watching him, I hate to say it but it's Gary Owen. He's been corny because every TikTok is crowd work and lately it's just not good.

[@trkddy]

I hope they talk about more than him being in prison for 6 years . There is nothing cool about prison .

[@plantgirlK88]

More times than not, when you assume, you’re wrong…

[@luciferigno408]

Tales of caution my friend.

[@tarae5380]

He's funny and when he talks about it he makes it hilarious. And if you have a sense of humor, do you??? Then you can find humor in almost anything.
