Storyteller. Horseman. Wounded Warrior. - Braxton McCoy | BRCC

This weeks guest is Braxton McCoy. In 2006 Braxton McCoy was injured by a suicide bomber in Ramadi, Iraq. He was told he would never walk again. After a decade of physical therapy and rehab, he regained most of his strength and found ways to circumvent his permanent injuries. Braxton is now an advocate for injured veterans and a horseman in Utah.

I could listen to Braxton talk about horses all day! You can tell that his true passion in life is to be around horses

[@bradoncampbell2626]

I am not far into this yet but, if he doesn't address the Hatfields I am going to be pissed!!

[@CHOPPASLUGBM]

Braxton's one of my favorite Twitter people lol

[@joekoltz]

Love the views on Homeschooling and Faith and Family. We are here for such a short time then off to eternity. They are our Legacy we leave behind.

[@handlemyhandle]

I love your content Evan and an incredible guest like Braxton just amplifies the value. Huge ROI spent listening to this

[@davidbillings615]

Evan 👍👍👍on the new set up! If the external things are not enough do not rule out the option of the getting help from someone else, who ever that may be. You are worth more to those around you than you will ever know!

[@georgecoull1883]

Don't know how I missed this one but jeez what an interview and guest! This was totally awesome 💯 a no shit shit kicking cowboy/warrior. Thank yin'z guys for the interview and your service Braxton

[@ericallison7934]

One true patriot & one true tough cowboy ! Yeehaw listening got 10 minutes left and it was a great podcast 👍👍

[@ianmacgregor1463]

Braxton is one of the best.

[@nevadaoutdoors5064]

THANK YOU! Thank you so much for speaking about the feral horse problem we have here. It’s ridiculous and the mismanagement of them is destroying our state. I love horses. I’m a rancher too. But they are killing our state resources.

[@stevengrumley-uo8je]

Braxton is awesome. My Family owned a ranch near Glenwood Springs Colorado. I understand completely. Thanks guys, Fantastic episode.

[@tedbeaver2394]

Great advice Evan!

[@KBeMaybe]

Thanks for the great conversation!

[@sickstringbender1364]

Best thing I ever did was having all the metal removed. Now I have zero pain and no inflammation. Its worth every penny to be without pain every second of every day. Get it done before you can't move anymore.

[@internet_internet]

God, I can relate to this guy’s way of thinking so much. Prioritize peace.

[@internet_internet]

Evan, the second part of this conversation that was about wildlife and conservation wasn’t anywhere near long enough. Why wasn’t it longer? It needs to be longer. Please bring him back immediately.

[@tedbeaver2394]

That new neon sign is AWESOME!!

WOW!

Not all that wonder are lost

[@jonathanmcclintock9051]

Great episode and wicked good looking setup. Is that hoodie Evan is wearing available?

[@toddstilin7326]

The grey wolf is native to California. You should ship some to California so they can tell us in 5 years that it’s a bad idea. Now that the wolves are eating “ unhoused” people.

My dad will be 77 this year. I’m 29. My mom will be 67. They both have health issues. They had me at I think 49 & 39. My dad watches probably 12+ hours of cable tv every day, and he has done this for decades since before I was born. He’s watching tv right now. He has a project car that he bought in ‘77. He took apart in ‘82 into pieces, and it’s still in pieces to this day. He blames me and the family for the car not being done. It was in pieces for over 12 years before I was born…Meanwhile, he’s been watching 12 or more hours of tv a day for probably half a century. When my mom gets home from work, the first thing she does is turn the tv on. The last thing she does before she goes to bed it turn the tv off. They never watch tv together. They never do anything together. They don’t like eachother. They can’t communicate without arguing. When I was a kid, we had no video games because they wouldn’t allow them. But they would park us in front of the tv, and give us a hard time about watching tv while they had their own tvs on. To this day, me and my sister don’t watch any tv, although she watches a ton of Netflix. I don’t. We do listen to podcasts while getting stuff done, and my sister is definitely a social media fiend. I deleted all of my social media when I was 17 in like 2011-2012. Haven’t had it since. I listen to informative stuff on KZbin, and will watch some videos that allow me to learn something. I work outside with my hands, legs, and body. I get the stuff done that the rest of my family won’t, and can’t. They give me a hard time about what I do do. It’s never enough for them. I was very briefly in the navy, and trained for competitive SEAL PST scores twice in my life, but after my first bad experience with the navy I couldn’t bring myself to trust them enough to go back. I’ve even saved an Army guy’s life when he tried to take his own and threatened to take me with him via my throat if I either tried to stop him, or if I tried calling for help. I saved him. Life in our modern day culture is weird. I prefer peace, and a connection with the natural world.

Sof guys (the solid ones) better get ahead of Chapman (roberts ridge), allegations of team bruiser and their actions getting other military forces killed, operation red wings (also luttrells story prior to that). I looked up to all these guys and admired them. Pains me to hear the stories coming out now but roberts ridge is undeniable with the predator footage. Slav absolutely shouldn't have a medal and should be held accountable for his lies.

Neither of these 2 were seals, go tell Andy stumpf

[@garretthayes9392]

You’ve been listening to the anti-hero podcast.

[@W4114C3]

@@garretthayes9392 there's a handful of sof guys talking about the issues.

@johnpancap844 champman wasn't a seal. I said sof. One of these guys was sof if not both.

One thing that I wish would sort of be dispelled about Republicans is the GOP has historically since the time it was, founded typically been more libertarian or populist, as opposed to neocon. It grates on my nerves, sort of to hear people refer to traditional republicanism and then describe neo conservative.

Pretty sure Nixon was president when the wild horse and burrow act came about. I don’t think he was liberal.

[@832KJV]

"Not to pick on them" (boomers).....continues to blame boomers. FFS , I know a good few who were never work shy; often in hard manual jobs, to provide for their families. I don't get this 'blame the boomers' thing - there are younger generations who are far more worrying right now.
