This should be a regularly scheduled podcast with Evan and mike, good stuff!

[@mackenziesparks3140]

110% agree!

[@dawnstewart9995]

I love these three together. I agree it should be at least a monthly thing. They play off each other so well.

[@rustyshackleford4438]

Evan seems like a tool, from the allegations of former employees to the way he treated Rittenhouse I don't like him.

[@ryanflyhigh36]

Glad to see the CEO of BRCC sitting down again with Evan… Always great. Mike’s always awesome…

[@DaveyJake]

Don’t forget he’s also the author of The Devil’s Hand and numerous other books. At airports, he’ll randomly sign a copy, post it on IG and put it back on the shelf for some lucky fan to find and buy.

I attended HALO school in the early 80's as a Force Recon Marine. I went from jump school at Benning straight to HALO at Ft. Bragg. My cherry jump was from 12500 ft. jumping a Para Commander. At that time there was a group called the Ace Board or Ace Committee. To get in you had to have upwards of 250 jumps and you had to jump 5 induced malfunctions. Great show You guy's are awesome!

This is honestly the first time I've ever found Evan Hafer funny. I don't usually like listening to him, but he was definitely the funniest guy in the room this time around. He should be this relaxed more often.

I hope Mike knows not every civvy thinks he’s a “psycho” for having been to war. It’s my personal belief, as a civvy, anyone who gives a sh*t about our veterans should know better than to make assumptions or ask certain questions. - My best friend (since age 13) is a Navy Veteran and contracted in AFG for six years. I’ve never once asked him about his time there. I let him bring it up. When he does, I listen and ask questions when necessary. I’ve seen some of his photos from his time there. He did some gnarly things but I also know he had some bad days as well. Through it all, he’s still my best friend and still my brother from another mother. - Not all veterans are psychos and civilians who truly care already know that.

[@snesie7172]

@@unitedstatesofamerica9948 Glad to see the US still has respect for its veterans. In germany some soldiers get spit on at the Train station and protester sometimes show a bloodbath. But when the shit hits the fan, these people are the first running to soldiers screaming "PROTECT US! GO FIGHT!"

[@sugandesenuds6663]

@@70stunes71 i think it absolutely is. Nobody likes a soldier until the enemy is at the gates. Know 2 Army guys, 1 is fresh and deploys to lithuania shortly, the other is ex-SOF with multiple tours in afghanistan. Soldiers are the kind of people who make sure that the rest of the population will be safe in a conflict.

3 great guys having a good time. Some serious conversation through it all. Plus some very funny segments - great job all 3 of you, plus John

[@dannyotter7247]

Guys, I just loved this - like being down the pub with your mates chewing the fat. The point about having a close group of trusted friends is true, but it can be hard to find that and keep them. And whilst I have never served I defined myself by my work/reputation too - only to find it is the road to ruin, I thought being fully invested in the job and being the best would be enough and for the most part it was, until it wasn’t. As the Stumpfmeister said, its about trying to get and maintain that balance in life and being willing to adapt and evolve to your situation and you as you change/age/grow etc.

[@JonesActual]

I spent 10 years in the fire dept. I spent my career seeking out what I believed to be the “most badass shit” at the time that was FEMA task force teams . On the east coast that was Task Force 1. I did some sick training, got to play with some great fucking toys, loved every second of the higher level training. Our cadre was old, kinda mean and certainly needed some kind of psych eval. I learned skills that will serve me for the rest of my life. I’ve by no means have been to war but I have seen the human cost on the civilian side. My struggle was real and humor dragged my dumb ass through it. Thanks for all you do. I stay grateful, stoked and ready to roll thanks to guys like you. Keep being real and giving zero fucks. Hunters guiding gatheres, nothing more natural. really upsetting me

[@jacobkonkel6793]

Your guys' comments about having a team and how rough it is being alone, hits close to home for me. I lost all my friends when I became a dad. I haven't had a network of good dudes in years. Enough of me being butthurt though. Great content. Pure comedy x3.
