Zero Blog Thirty

Due to the timing of last night's late breaking news, Chaps addresses what happened in Iran to open the show. We recorded the pod earlier in the day with the public information we had, and will be sure to give a thorough update on Tuesday's pod as things develop over the weekend. 

Round 1:  In 2016 civilians were STORMING Canadian military bases at all hours of the day & night, and only now has the Canadian government released the reason for this mad rush...

Listen up platoon: This is our Best of 2019. The Top 10 segments from the past year. In no particular order except for which they appear in the pod:

ROUND 1: The Space Force is officially official & Kate's is applying to be the branch's professional jingle writer. We promise it won't be as bad as the last song we did. Maybe. Probably though. 

ROUND 2: A woman kept her dead husband's body in a freezer for 10 years and collected his VA benefits. Victimless crime? Maybe. We'll explore it to find out...

Round 1: A North Dakota man got a phone call saying his son, a Marine, had been killed on active duty. It was all a scam to steal the man's identity. Gotta keep your head on a swivel.

Round 1: Coming back from a long break is never easy. It's important to remember basic customs and courtesies. If not, you'll be like our pal in the Air Force who got a naughty letter because he told an NCO some harsh words. Hate to see it...

Round 2: We hop over to England to praise a group of incredibly brave folks who help used the greatest weapons of opportunity to stop the London Bridge attacker...

Round 1: Things are getting crazy with our beloved Navy. The Secretary of the Navy was fired after going around the Secretary of Defense in order to cut a drug deal with the President regarding Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher. 

Round 2: An Army Lt Col is taking charge of troops in a combat zone like nobody ever has before. When you hear this story, your head will be spinning. 

Round 3: The fucking Russians are back to their old tricks...
