I got to meet Brandon Friday night 🎉 and a vet asked him (very directly)about that video that his opponent sleazily ripped out of context and Brandon was very eloquent in his response. You could tell it hurt him to hear a vet ask him about it. It was like accusing Smokey The Bear of starting a forest fire. ❤ WE MUST PROTECT BRANDON AT ALL COSTS ❤ He’s one of our last hopes for Congress in this district.

[@Gottaculat]

13:54 Yeah, I hear the PTSD thing. My dad was in Vietnam, even received the Bronze Star, and he thinks the only time he could have earned that was when his position was overrun in the night, where he and 2 other guys held their ground in a fox hole until morning when the enemy was finally pushed back enough they could escape. Said it came down to knife fighting, as they ran out of ammo at one point. Only thing he can't handle is gutting, be it fish, deer, or any other game. Everything else he handles just fine, like guns, fireworks, etc... oh, and he won't get in a helicopter unless he absolutely has to, 'cause he saw enough of them go down, and in his words, "They don't gyro slowly down and explode like the movies; they plummet like a rock and mangle the people inside." He just turned 79 in March, btw. Served in 1969-1970. Still spry, healthy, and full faculties. He wants nothing to do with veteran stuff, because he said he was a young man when he was over there, and he's accomplished so much in his life since, particularly raising 3 boys he's extremely proud of, that he doesn't form his identity around his one year of service in a war we had no part being involved. He also told me that instead of mindlessly thanking a veteran for their service with hollow words, the better way to thank a veteran is to live honorably, be truthful, and never vote for a Democrat or commie! 😂

Whenever I hear about Crocs I immediately think of Idiocracy and the story that came out about it. The costume designer had a limited budget, crocs was still an investment idea basically with a limited amount available. They were cheap as can be and no one thought these things would ever catch on. So the entire cast wore them for the movie and hated them. It took a little while but the gamble paid off for Crocs and they blew up in popularity not long after. Also cheers to Nick for always having a 20-30 minute spot for his amazing history rants. The man really is a history treasure to protect for always.

[@Ron_Jambo_]

The US just waited for years, hoping for Europe to be entirely conquered so they could "take it back" and make it their own. We aren't dupes , we ALL knows Russians are the reason Nazis were defeated , while americans would have been allied to the Nazis if the Japanese didn't went crazy. We know how awful you are.

Dude i remember when the military announced they were starting that lioness program and the huge PR campaign around how having females present on patrols could have a significant impact for coalition forces because our women can talk to their women and gather intelligence from new source and that it could be a game changer for the battle space. I remember thinking "yup that is exactly whats gonna win this war for us... Gossip".

Becaus having intel on the population you are engaging and the morale of said population hadls had no impact on combat throughout all of human history.

[@randomlyentertaining8287]

​​@@linkholder Yeah, it wouldn't have worked like that. Not a single piece of "intel" would've been true. Also, how much can a Western woman who has spent basically none of her life in the region relate to a Middle Eastern woman? Completely different culture and society. And we did PLENTY for morale. When we kicked the Taliban out, the Internet was flat out banned. When we left, half the country had access to high speed Internet. We built them roads, hospitals, schools. We gave them everything they could've wanted and they still couldn't muster up the energy to resist the Taliban when we were pulling out. Yeah, that program didn't do a damn thing. They didn't want our way of living and we shouldn't have spent tens of billions trying to give it to them.

Amazing shows fellas. Fan from Ireland but the fat electrician at 23:03 I'm a registered firearms owner over here in Ireland, Belfast. I have 2 shotguns and 3 rifles, just had to apply for a licence through the police and buy a gun safe for our home. Then a firearms officer comes to visit my home and approved my home to be safe. If you have no criminal record you're basically allowed to purchase any firearm. Also we had the IRA in our country to literally wage war against England and take the fight to them until a peace settlement was reached in 1998 to disarm the IRA so this might be why people assume Ireland is unarmed. Keep up the great work lads.

[@CGCTV]

I think it definitely goes both ways in that people from the UK think you can just walk into a walmart and buy a gun instantly, then people from the US think that the UK has a knife licence. Obviously we know that in the UK and ireland we can own firearms its just a few more hoops to jump through which in my opinion are sensible hoops (to an extent) but you definitely dont need a licence for a chefs knife

I will say my papa is an vietnam war veterran and heads to the coast for the 4th, because the fireworks set him off, he is the epitome of man, stubborn, problem solver, first to put himself in front of others to protect them etc. Not mad at your comments just wanted to remind you all if you veterans went theough differnt battles as such different things set you off. Also just wanted to say i enjoyed the podcast, you all are fun to listen too.

I have a 1 liter Nissan micra K11 It has been rear ended (It suffered a cracked plastic bumper. The car that hit it was totaled), had a shed get smashed into it from a storm and has been driven hundreds of thousands of miles. It has yet to fail MOT.

1:08:02 interesting fact if you ever watch Normandy vets return to boccage. Every single one British or American. Hugs the hedges. They are always up against it. Just out of muscle memory because being in the middle of the road was KIA situation.

The original melody for in the mood dates back to 1930 or earlier. Glenn Miller’s classic recording of it was made in 1939, which means it would have entered the public domain in 1996. Mist opportunity. listen to well thinking about those stats it's a delight.

My grandfather was D-Day + 2 or 3 got wounded & wouldn’t take the golden ticket home because his brother was still fighting. He became a service clerk & cook for a general. Yet still got merits for combat. He died before I was born. My grandma remarried twice. Her 2nd husband survived the Bataan Death March, he was dying of cancer made it for my birthday, he willed himself to make it to my birthday. I was 5 turn 6, I knew he was sick & just wanted my Papa Jack at my birthday. Still my hero. My Grandma remarried again. Was never close to her 3rd husband, he would show up for everything but wasn’t an open person. At his funeral I learned he was a Captain in the Army Air core bomber pilot. Flew his 1st 25 missions & could have gone home. Took another tour his plane was shot down, his crew survived to be taken POWs, & were rescued by Patton before the Battle of the Bulge. A member of his crew told the story at his funeral. That’s just my dad’s side of the family, they were built different & we need to go back to that.

My Air Force buddy put it best. “Don’t come at me with the MicMacDonalds martial arts” I laughed so hard I nearly pisses myself.
