    Honestly the best part of this podcast as a whole is the little glint Andy gets in his eyes when he gets to talk about his True love, The Javelin.

      I agree. As long as your not putting out your podcast as the same day as rogan i think your gonna have increasing numbers and views. Because i think rogan has the same audience as you. I mean theres not many that are consistent like you. I can think of free range, drinking Bros Mike ritland are the same category as your content you guys reach the same viewers. Free range doesnt put out consistent. Drinking Bros podcast doesnt go smoothly like yours. There's to many people trying to talk over eachother so it's hard to watch. I would say mike ritland and you are the top of podcast right now thats an easy listen and new content every week atleast. I hate those podcast that could be good but the interviewer doesnt let the guest talk without getting interrupted. And having more than one interviewer who just talk over eachother. So keep it going andy!

    I remember waking up one night to a shithook flying over our b-hut in COP Kherwar in the middle of the night. This was probably around summer or fall of 2010. I remember we set up for a fire mission before we bedded down but no one would say exactly what time or why we might be shooting. I asked what was going on when the heli woke me up and they told me a seal team had captured someone locally. I find myself wondering if one of these seals I’ve listened to in podcasts were there. Knowing I might have shared a combat space with these guys is a cool thought. Kinda silly but I like to think it happened haha. Thanks for the podcast and keepem coming.

    “Escape into exercise,” with as much physical good comes from working out damn near everyday, I always tell people I do it for mental clarity. I’ve never really thought about it in terms of “escaping,” but that’s exactly what I do each day. Funny enough, my daily workout is CrossFit sprinkled with additional running, ha.
    I just discovered your podcasts relatively recently and although I have 0 military experience, I thoroughly enjoy your guests, topics, discussions, etc. Please keep up the great work; there’s so much to learn from your podcasts.

    I know who they're talking about at the 43:50 mark, I worked with the Det 101 guys when I was at Camp Brown on an advisory aviation mission. Bob Baldwin was a great dude, the Army really needs more field-graders like him. No surprise that he was killed in a crash, though. A-stan was, hands down, probably the worst places I've ever flown, everything that could make rotary-wing ops dangerous (mountains, high altitude, heat, dust, low cultural illumination, etc...) was there.

    Andy, your editing and interview skills have greatly improved over the past month. Well done.

You're progressing very well in both the technical and interview skills. You stopped crossing your arms, now quit touching your face

    Hey nick, doubt you'll remember even if you were their , not even sure you read Andy's comments but do you remember 2012 an army combat engineer convoy took two of your guys along w a resupply convoy to nawbahar (however you spell it). We got beat up on our way their so we stayed their for about a week n some change to fix our trucks. Yall thanked us by letting us fire a lot of yalls weaponry and got to grow out our beards lol then one of our guys had to fly out to Germany per rabies SOP cause he woke up to a cat sleeping on him, he freaked out and got scratched, then yall took care of the cats in the area lol but I remember yall had a bad ass campfire area tall would hang out at sometimes at night.
