Speaker 1: H ah beautiful. If it doesn't work, you're just not
Speaker 1: using enough. You're listening to software radio, special operations, military
Speaker 1: news and straight talk with the guys in the community,
Speaker 1: Army Ranger and Green Beret Jack Murphy Lasagna. Don't get
Speaker 1: any on your Marine Scouts. Sniper Jason Delgado is just
Speaker 1: something we believe it. I associate that with taste, but
Speaker 1: I like freaking chocolate chi may Why is it flavor? Boring?
Speaker 1: The whole lively board And now here's your co host
Speaker 1: and producer of this operation, Ian Scott Lee softerep dot
Speaker 1: Com on Time on Target. Very excited to have Donnie
Speaker 1: O'Malley coming on this episode, which was really Jason's suggestion.
Speaker 1: I know you're a huge fan of his work. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: he is hilarious. I think out of all the veteran
Speaker 1: skits that are on like um, Facebook and thinking, you
Speaker 1: know social media like that, he's hands down the funniest one.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of them too, and he has yeah
Speaker 1: he has a vet TV stuff and hopefully we'll get
Speaker 1: into with him. But man, like, dude, he's hilarious. Like
Speaker 1: I think he nails the persona of the marine like
Speaker 1: down to a t. To the point where he can
Speaker 1: dissect it and and and highlight the actual comedy in it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, cut's cut the bullshit
Speaker 1: on and get straight to our funny mannerisms. And it's
Speaker 1: just like a barrage of mannerisms and it's just like
Speaker 1: it's like side splitting. It's crazy. You would also know
Speaker 1: better than anyone else, you know. I mean, you are
Speaker 1: a marine, so you know, yeah, I wish I wish
Speaker 1: you guys could have the experience that I have so
Speaker 1: that you can enjoy his comedy. Yeah, because it's funny
Speaker 1: nonetheless when you watch it, but there's there's a lot
Speaker 1: of subliminal jokes there, and you know, a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff under the layers, and it's just
Speaker 1: so funny. If you guys knew, you know, it's it's
Speaker 1: like when we were always split spitting out acronyms, and
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes we have to stop and like, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, that means this, guys, it's like that,
Speaker 1: you guys trust me, he's hilarious. But I know what
Speaker 1: you mean because with Matt Best, I remember the first
Speaker 1: time I saw his stuff because our friend Leo Jenkins
Speaker 1: was in his video I remember, like I showed it
Speaker 1: to Andrew Willcow and we were both laughing. But there
Speaker 1: were times that Andrew was like, I don't get that part.
Speaker 1: What does that mean? And I'd be like, I I
Speaker 1: don't know either. So sometimes yeah, it's a little bit inside.
Speaker 1: Um but yeah, no, I agree with you, like you
Speaker 1: kind of have to play to that because of the
Speaker 1: comedy that you're doing anyway. Um, So getting into everything,
Speaker 1: one of the first things I wanted to mention was
Speaker 1: my apologies for not mentioning Pearl Harbor last episode. Literally
Speaker 1: right after we recorded the episode. Hey, I just I was.
Speaker 1: I was trying to put the heat on you bro.
Speaker 1: Right after we recorded it and we went to the software.
Speaker 1: That's what it was. Should I forgot it. That's what
Speaker 1: we were preoccupied with getting out of here in time
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Yeah, And it's a big thing
Speaker 1: to mention because we've had we had one of the
Speaker 1: last Pearl Harbor survivors on an episode not that long ago.
Speaker 1: You know who was there at Pearl Harbor. So I
Speaker 1: always think to myself when I get to meet someone
Speaker 1: who was there at Pearl Harbor, like we are the
Speaker 1: last generation who will get to meet these people, they're
Speaker 1: they're dying off unfortunately. So the least I can do
Speaker 1: is is acknowledge, you know, the importance of that day.
Speaker 1: Every day. We'll do that for every uh you know,
Speaker 1: substantial battle and you know American history. You know, that's
Speaker 1: just what we have to do because, like you said,
Speaker 1: generations are going to be lost here soon enough. And
Speaker 1: what do we have once they're gone? You know, we
Speaker 1: have hearsay, you know, and you leave it up to
Speaker 1: everyone out there misconstruing facts. Now, you know, we're gonna
Speaker 1: lose a very important part of our history. So we
Speaker 1: always have to highlight these things. Yeah, I um, I
Speaker 1: remember it's serious. For example, Uh, last year might have
Speaker 1: been two years ago. I remember I met this guy
Speaker 1: Dr descy Roth, Holocaust survivor um, and he talked about
Speaker 1: that after he survived the Holocaust, he then survived Communism
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, so he was like, I lived
Speaker 1: through you know, national socialism, Nazism, I lived through Communism.
Speaker 1: I heard Hitler gibb speeches on the radio, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, if I ever have kids, they will never
Speaker 1: meet these people because they're they're not going to be
Speaker 1: around much longer. Imagine that the destabilization he went through
Speaker 1: during both of those periods, you know, because the economies
Speaker 1: are just like tore up to you know somewhat you know,
Speaker 1: restanding as a totally different ideology. You know, it's like,
Speaker 1: can you ima eagine everyone that suffers in between those periods? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy man. Yeah. And he became a doctor. His
Speaker 1: father was a doctor, and he talked about you know,
Speaker 1: like the Nazis taking his father away, and then he
Speaker 1: talked about the communist destroying his property. It's you know,
Speaker 1: to to live through those types of things like I
Speaker 1: it's it's one of those things we talked about in
Speaker 1: the podcast often, but we don't realize how good we
Speaker 1: have it sometimes. How do you lift through stuff like that?
Speaker 1: And I hold a grudge? Yeah, that's that's crazy. Well
Speaker 1: that it also reminds me of UH on the Power
Speaker 1: of Thought. We had the guy who flew the last
Speaker 1: combat mission over Japan and his UH grandson married a
Speaker 1: Japanese girl. What do you say about that? I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously as to get over you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: But did he feel anything towards the gesture? Well, he
Speaker 1: was shocked that you know, their parents would allow it.
Speaker 1: I believe it was the grandparents. You know, it's funny.
Speaker 1: I gotta listen back to the episode. You know, it's
Speaker 1: a few months back back, so forgive me if I'm
Speaker 1: not completely accurate. But the one thing that was said
Speaker 1: was they said, so this man flew you know, planes
Speaker 1: over Japan and flew that particular plane and the Japanese.
Speaker 1: I think grandfather was like, if that's the type of
Speaker 1: man this was, then I want him in my gene
Speaker 1: pool bad. So that's pretty impressive to you know, stand
Speaker 1: aside from all the uh, the hatred and the animosity
Speaker 1: and the war, and just be able to look at
Speaker 1: It's what we were talking about a couple of episodes
Speaker 1: with Tonto. A few episodes were gonna say, well, you know,
Speaker 1: we have this certain admiration or respect to our adversaries
Speaker 1: because they're willing to meet us and fight us and
Speaker 1: die with you know, die by us, or try to
Speaker 1: kill us. So you know that in and of itself,
Speaker 1: that that base the fact that they're brave and they're
Speaker 1: willing to face you and die. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: gotta respect that, you got to. So I agree with him, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would love to have those genes in my family
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, all right, so um. Also the holiday
Speaker 1: party we just had there was West event. I wasn't
Speaker 1: at that. I was at the party, um and it
Speaker 1: was just you know, company party. It was in the
Speaker 1: team room event which is coming up soon. But I
Speaker 1: just wanted to hear your thoughts on that and the
Speaker 1: Gym West event because I was not at that. I see,
Speaker 1: I see the potential in this um with the event.
Speaker 1: It was the first one we threw for Jim. Um.
Speaker 1: I I can see it getting a little bit more tighter,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, maybe at a smaller barn.
Speaker 1: I'm no hit on Emmetts. I love em and if
Speaker 1: we can constantly do it, we would do it at Emmet's.
Speaker 1: But it's just I think Jim needs a I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: a set block, a set time frame, maybe an hour tops,
Speaker 1: where there's quiet, you know, where there's you know that
Speaker 1: you don't have the ambiance NBA noise from a bar
Speaker 1: in the background, and you know it's hard for your
Speaker 1: audience to hear you as well when you're up there
Speaker 1: and you know, trying to focus in on specific instructions.
Speaker 1: So I think maybe the bar setting we can duplicate
Speaker 1: somewhere and then do maybe one a week with him,
Speaker 1: you know, and maybe just stay with two at the
Speaker 1: removes and just kind of feed it off of that.
Speaker 1: That's my suggestion. Um. As far as the event, man,
Speaker 1: I'm surprised the turnout was pretty decent. We have people
Speaker 1: coming from people. Yeah, we have people coming from you know,
Speaker 1: as far as I think one place was Utah. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, Jim draws him out. Man. People want to
Speaker 1: meet this guy, and I you know, I don't blame him,
Speaker 1: so yeah, definitely see potential in this. I hope we
Speaker 1: keep going with this. I think, you know, Jim definitely
Speaker 1: deserves the attention he needs. You know, I think people
Speaker 1: could benefit a lot from his techniques. He's he's pretty,
Speaker 1: he's a badass. Yeah, which reminds me speaking of m
Speaker 1: m A. Although she didn't win, uh, wis Carmuch we're
Speaker 1: gonna have on next week fought? Yeah, but everyone that
Speaker 1: saw that, everyone that saw that fight knew that she
Speaker 1: was winning that fight. You know what, if I could
Speaker 1: grab my phone for a second, I'll find what she wrote.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking forward to speaking with her. And for
Speaker 1: those who don't know whis Carmoch fought in the first
Speaker 1: women's UFC event against Rhonda Rousing. Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: put both of them side by side, you would have
Speaker 1: never known she lost because the other girl looked like
Speaker 1: bust the Douglas beat her up. Well, here's what she
Speaker 1: road and Liz is at I am girl Rella on Instagram.
Speaker 1: From the damage to her face, you'd think I won.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I left to a decision and wasn't able to
Speaker 1: bring home to win. Thank you everyone for your support.
Speaker 1: I'm back at it next week to be the best
Speaker 1: I can be. Yeah, she's also I I interviewed her
Speaker 1: on Sirius x M a few years back, and she's
Speaker 1: just very classy because she talked about we talked about fighters,
Speaker 1: you talk a lot of ship basically, and she was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't do that because you're gonna look like an
Speaker 1: idiot if you lose, and uh, you know I could
Speaker 1: agree with that. Yeah, I think that'd be embarrassing when
Speaker 1: you're you know, showboating and the next you know, you
Speaker 1: get you asked knocked out. A lot of guys don't
Speaker 1: really care much about that, but I think it's a
Speaker 1: part of the industry to the whole drumming up um
Speaker 1: attention and anticipation for the event. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff, uh following I'm proceeding to fight is theatrics.
Speaker 1: It really is. You can't possibly hate someone that much
Speaker 1: in an industry where you're always fighting, you're gonna hate
Speaker 1: every opponent you have come back well, and that's also
Speaker 1: you know Connor McGregor, he's used to his advantage. I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's like wrestling but real where you still need
Speaker 1: a character. People still need to cling onto something, you know,
Speaker 1: and you need you need you need to uh what
Speaker 1: do you call it? U franchise yourself? You know, you
Speaker 1: need to sell yourself. Yeah. Um. Big news item of
Speaker 1: the day, of course, is the Roy Moore versus Doug
Speaker 1: Jones Senate election in Alabama. I don't want to get
Speaker 1: into it too much because I feel like the news
Speaker 1: has saturated this election like crazy. We'll see what happens.
Speaker 1: By the time this is up tomorrow, we'll have the results.
Speaker 1: The one thing I thought it was funny, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's funny and and just like what the funk you
Speaker 1: doing kind of way was when Roy Moore's wife came
Speaker 1: up and said, they say that we don't like Jews. Well,
Speaker 1: one of our attorneys is Jewish, and I was just like,
Speaker 1: you know, whoever, it's like your your pr person, like,
Speaker 1: probably not the best move to use that as like
Speaker 1: we're not anti Semitic. I'm not. I'm not anti I'm
Speaker 1: not anti Latino. I have Mexicans cutting my lawn all
Speaker 1: the time. Yeah, it was. It was not not smart
Speaker 1: in their part, and you know, I'm not gonna get
Speaker 1: too involved in it. I do feel like the media
Speaker 1: has talked about this, uh election of death because it
Speaker 1: gets viewers. It's controversial also, and they're trying, they're trying.
Speaker 1: East Side is trying to get their agenda out. You know,
Speaker 1: they're trying. They're trying to get there obviously their candidate
Speaker 1: to win. So it's it's saturation on both sides and
Speaker 1: the Republican ticket in the Democratic ticket. But if I
Speaker 1: have to call it, I don't. I don't see Roy
Speaker 1: Moore winning it. Well by the time this is up,
Speaker 1: well no, I actually I will go opposite. If you'll
Speaker 1: go opposite, I think Roy Moore is gonna win. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I think the more that the you know,
Speaker 1: here here's the thing, it's it's it's on the people
Speaker 1: of Alabama too, So well, I'm going to be objective
Speaker 1: about this. If I lived in Alabama, Emma, I would
Speaker 1: not be voting for Roy Moore. However, I could see
Speaker 1: from the perspective of the people in Alabama that the
Speaker 1: more that the liberal sided media talks about that you
Speaker 1: shouldn't vote for this guy, how terrible he is, and
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is a disgrace for endorsing him, the
Speaker 1: more it energizes that base to go out and vote
Speaker 1: for him because they don't care with the New York
Speaker 1: you know, liberal media things. We also need him in
Speaker 1: the Senate, you know, as far as the Conservatives are concerned,
Speaker 1: because you know, we have to get a lot of
Speaker 1: things approved. So um, like I said, they're just going
Speaker 1: really hard. I just I don't know. I just think
Speaker 1: the fact that the accusations can you know, we're allegedly
Speaker 1: underaged women. I think that's what's kind of got to
Speaker 1: be that jagged pill to swallow. You know. Yeah, we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. Um. But it's almost like the way
Speaker 1: that I look at it is that CNN, MSNBC, on
Speaker 1: on one hand, what they do and what all media
Speaker 1: is and I set it before, is selling people to
Speaker 1: advertise her. So if they could keep you tuned in
Speaker 1: and they could keep you watching commercials buying products, they're
Speaker 1: doing their job. However, I think they really if they're
Speaker 1: in terms of getting an agenda through, they have really
Speaker 1: missed the boat through the Trump election that they're part
Speaker 1: of the reason Trump got elected, all this negative publicity.
Speaker 1: So they're doing the exact same thing with Roy Moore,
Speaker 1: and if he gets elected, I am partially gonna say
Speaker 1: you're the reason he got elected. And and the fact
Speaker 1: that they have not rotated out any new representatives to
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party, I mean, you got, I forgot who
Speaker 1: was calling for Nancy Pelosi to resign because she's just
Speaker 1: been there forever um. But they want fresh blood, and
Speaker 1: then I think they have that they have there's a
Speaker 1: base to that because I don't see many people relating
Speaker 1: to Bernie Sanders, Nasty Pelosi. I mean, these are senior citizens, man,
Speaker 1: you know, and and you know, they came up at
Speaker 1: a different time then we came up. So I think
Speaker 1: that there's not that there's not that relation there between
Speaker 1: their core constituents and you know, or their their base
Speaker 1: and their representatives. But they keep getting voted in, so
Speaker 1: you know, it's up to the people if they want
Speaker 1: these people who have been in office for decades out.
Speaker 1: It's up to you to vote him out, I mean
Speaker 1: your New York Red Chuck Schumer forever. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: think he's going anywhere. And you know it's not like
Speaker 1: he's he's a dictator of New York. We have the
Speaker 1: opportunity to vote him out. And there's never really a
Speaker 1: strong And you gotta admit, New York has not been
Speaker 1: on any sort of decline whatsoever since early two thousand's,
Speaker 1: you know, since after nine eleven, Like everything in New
Speaker 1: York is security is better, economic, economically, financially, you know, Um,
Speaker 1: I just think safety wise in general, like I have
Speaker 1: not seen New York slips, So that might that might
Speaker 1: speak as to why Chuck is still still in the seat,
Speaker 1: you know, because you know we trust him, which is
Speaker 1: a good segue to the next thing talking about security.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we heard about the terrorists attack in New York
Speaker 1: City Port Authority bus terminal where a lot of people
Speaker 1: I know, right a port authority. Yeah, you're sorry, you
Speaker 1: will give you like like I have no no, because no,
Speaker 1: A lot of my friends, a lot of my friends
Speaker 1: actually at serious sex Like Mike Bins. They travel in
Speaker 1: and out of a Port Authority bus terminal at that
Speaker 1: time every day, so you know it's always scared when yeah,
Speaker 1: port authority, you know that that's like the peak hour
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, man, So what was your uh what
Speaker 1: doing on it? They want an idiot. Definitely throw a
Speaker 1: punch of the week for this guy because he's not
Speaker 1: even a successful terrorist. So I printed out this art.
Speaker 1: It's supposed to be an electrician or something. Man, he
Speaker 1: must you need, you need to go back to all
Speaker 1: the houses he wired up here in the city and
Speaker 1: check them. Plus somebody's house birds down. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw this, because to me, this was the
Speaker 1: most uh you know, the thing about everything. The the
Speaker 1: response from the family. Did you hear that? Um? I
Speaker 1: did hear the response from the family and how they
Speaker 1: was it that they said? So this was their response
Speaker 1: from the family of the terrorists. Uh. We are heartbroken
Speaker 1: by the violence that was targeted at our city today
Speaker 1: and by the allegations being made against a member of
Speaker 1: our family, But we are also outraged by the behavior
Speaker 1: of law enforcement officials who have held children as small
Speaker 1: as four years old out in the cold that who
Speaker 1: held a teenager out of high school classes to interrogate
Speaker 1: him without a lawyer. These are not the sorts of
Speaker 1: actions that we expect from our justice system, and we
Speaker 1: have every confidence that our justice system will find the
Speaker 1: truth behind this attack and that we will, in the
Speaker 1: end be able to learn what occurred today. Man, Like
Speaker 1: what a fucking yeah, that's what it was. They were,
Speaker 1: they were saying the way they were they were handled
Speaker 1: by authorities during the investigation that you know, um through
Speaker 1: the fact, uh, they didn't like you know that you know,
Speaker 1: they were calling their family members out into the street
Speaker 1: or you know, pulling them over while they were going
Speaker 1: to work. And you're you're not gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: I've heard Brandon say it on the podcast before, like,
Speaker 1: but are we supposed to said like correspondence first and
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we're gonna come check up on you guys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've heard Brandon say it on the podcast before, like
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be given the white glove treatment when
Speaker 1: you're a terrorist in New York City. It's not gonna happen.
Speaker 1: And then what's the deterrent? You know, what's the deterrent
Speaker 1: to that you know, if you're treating everyone, it's the same.
Speaker 1: It's the same principle as to why jails are so shitty.
Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to You're never gonna go
Speaker 1: to jail and be like, well, I had the most
Speaker 1: pleasant time in the world. No, it's it's meant to
Speaker 1: be torturous and hell. And the benches are only six
Speaker 1: inches wide so you can't lay on them if you
Speaker 1: have a wide back. It's ridiculous. It's supposed to be hell,
Speaker 1: so that you don't want to go back. So I
Speaker 1: could see why maybe uh, being a little stern for
Speaker 1: lack of better terminology, being a little stern with the family,
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe set of precedence to the other
Speaker 1: families out there that here's some type of crazy rhetoric
Speaker 1: out of someone and amongst their ranks, and maybe they'll say,
Speaker 1: you know what, if this guy does something stupid, is
Speaker 1: gonna come down on everybody. So maybe we need to
Speaker 1: send this guy away. Well, I've played this clip on
Speaker 1: the podcast before. I played it with j Um from
Speaker 1: Soft Rep and Terry Shapherd when he was on Gutfeld
Speaker 1: Show made this statement and it went like absolutely viral.
Speaker 1: The video I pulled up is only one of videos.
Speaker 1: I mean it was on Facebook and had like an
Speaker 1: insane amount of likes and share. So Terry has been
Speaker 1: on the podcast several times and people seem to really
Speaker 1: like what he said here. Sorry, I would actually like
Speaker 1: to hear your reaction to because people wonder how do
Speaker 1: you solve this type of thing? And I think he
Speaker 1: said something that a lot of people would say his practical.
Speaker 1: So then for a living years almost Yeah, tired, October?
Speaker 1: What are we doing wrong? What can we do better?
Speaker 1: You gotta give me like more than thirty seconds, because
Speaker 1: I flew up here, Dady to do this damn shot.
Speaker 1: I called it. You gotta give you the Okay, I know,
Speaker 1: here's I'm talking now about the home grown terror stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've heard everything about everybody else and I've been doing
Speaker 1: that my whole life. Here's the phrase, and you need
Speaker 1: to remember this. Sometimes you need to become what you
Speaker 1: aren't in order to protect and ensure the future survival
Speaker 1: of what you actually are. That's the principle behind self defense.
Speaker 1: It's also principind a lot of wars. We do it,
Speaker 1: but we don't want to. You do what is necessary
Speaker 1: now before anybody calls me in is Lama fobe. I've
Speaker 1: spent most of my a lot of my adult life
Speaker 1: over in the Middle East. I've lived with Arabs, I've
Speaker 1: trained their soldiers, I fought, I've bled, I've watched them die.
Speaker 1: As a green brain medic, I've delivered their babies, pulled
Speaker 1: their teeth and not cleave their farm animals straight. And
Speaker 1: I've I've helped them the whole time. So don't ever
Speaker 1: call me an islamaphobe for what I'm about to say,
Speaker 1: because probably most of you have never done what I've done.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm getting a little militant about it. Here's
Speaker 1: the thing. You've got to understand what's going on over there.
Speaker 1: You've got to understand them people talking to talking heads.
Speaker 1: You don't know what they how these folks inc. They
Speaker 1: are worried about their family, their clan, and their tribe.
Speaker 1: They do not have a national identity. That's why that's
Speaker 1: that's a hard sell. And most Middle Eastern countries are
Speaker 1: either kingdoms, theocracies or or dictatorships because you have to
Speaker 1: crush them to hold them together. Fast forward to the
Speaker 1: guys who are living here in the West. The killers,
Speaker 1: not the regular Islamic people. What do they care about?
Speaker 1: They hate the country they live in their words, not mine,
Speaker 1: their actions, not mine. What do they care about? They
Speaker 1: care about the family. They care about that group. So
Speaker 1: anytime one of these guys does this, that whole family
Speaker 1: gets picked up and deported back to the country of origin.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you something the way here today.
Speaker 1: This isn't some America, right, I do what is necessary
Speaker 1: green Bray's or problem solvers. I talked to my driver
Speaker 1: coming in from an airport. He's from Pakistan. I know
Speaker 1: a little bit about Pakistan. He was surprised. I even
Speaker 1: knew where he came by in his name. We're talking
Speaker 1: back and forth in a friendly way, and I posited
Speaker 1: this to him. You know what he said? He goes
Speaker 1: that would work. They know, they know what it is.
Speaker 1: And right now there's no impetus in the United States
Speaker 1: or the Western europe countries for the Muslim community as
Speaker 1: a whole to actually do something about this, because as
Speaker 1: soon as one of them kills we we mourn, we
Speaker 1: put up our emojis, and then we tell the rest
Speaker 1: of them we love you, we don't want to hurt you.
Speaker 1: And that's that's the way it goes. Does anybody know
Speaker 1: what happened to San Bernardino family, the Pulse night club killer,
Speaker 1: the Boston Marathon. They're all still here right, Move them out,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you now, you take from them what
Speaker 1: they care about and it will slow down, if not stop.
Speaker 1: Good point a place into what we were just talking
Speaker 1: a little. He's he's got more of a detailed plan,
Speaker 1: but my sentiments are in line with his. You definitely
Speaker 1: there has to be repercussions to their actions. If they
Speaker 1: don't fear death, then what other repercussion you can have
Speaker 1: aside from death? But how does that I'm just wondering,
Speaker 1: how does that point that people were here? Because I
Speaker 1: think what he was saying, my my my point is embarrassment,
Speaker 1: you know, Shane Um the fact that he just literally
Speaker 1: done generations of work to that name, to that family,
Speaker 1: because everything they had to go through to even get
Speaker 1: into this country in the first place is literally undone
Speaker 1: with one action. Once you start setting a precedence that
Speaker 1: you know, if you have someone in your family that
Speaker 1: commits such an atrocity, your whole family will get deported.
Speaker 1: That is going to force that family to start policing
Speaker 1: their own I didn't think that that is. That's exactly
Speaker 1: the point, and I agree with it. If there's nothing
Speaker 1: else we can do, I'd rather do this than live
Speaker 1: with the notion that this is going to become a
Speaker 1: new norm. And I have to just honestly, when I
Speaker 1: heard what happened, I didn't feel anything. It's getting to
Speaker 1: that point where there's just no more anger in me anymore.
Speaker 1: There's no more. It's not absurd, it's just like it's
Speaker 1: it's just the frequency in which it's occurring. It's just ridiculous.
Speaker 1: And now it's to the point where we're getting desensitized
Speaker 1: to it. And I don't want that to happen because
Speaker 1: they we're gonna get comfortable with it and it's gonna
Speaker 1: get worse. So I'd rather live with that than with
Speaker 1: the latter. You know, the truth is, you start putting it,
Speaker 1: and you start putting the ball in their court, and
Speaker 1: I guarantee you they're gonna stop deflating it, you know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Um, all right, So I have
Speaker 1: other stuff I want to get to. However, we have

Speaker 1: and I'm taking a note here that we have a
Speaker 1: couple more things to get into that I was gonna
Speaker 1: do during the intro. But you know, you never know
Speaker 1: where things are going to go. I I didn't prepare
Speaker 1: to pull up that Terry shafferd clip. It just made sense.
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's get right over to Donnie, looking forward
Speaker 1: to having him on for the first time. Good sir,
Speaker 1: how's everything going. I'm here with Jason Delgado. What's up? Man? Yo? Yo, dude.
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to geek out, man, but dude, I'm
Speaker 1: one of your fucking hugest fans. I said, I said
Speaker 1: it today on the show, and I'll say it every
Speaker 1: other fucking day after this. You are by far the
Speaker 1: only producer some of the funniest ship on the internet
Speaker 1: right now. I can't stand some of those vet skits.
Speaker 1: Yours fucking home run every time, man, Thanks dude. I
Speaker 1: mean this from Marine Scott Sniper I would say, so, Yeah,
Speaker 1: this guy's got me beat all day. Man, I'm running
Speaker 1: down your laundry list of your accolades, man, or what
Speaker 1: haven't you done? Like funk, how many jobs have you had?
Speaker 1: Ye're talking about the million out of the Marine Corps?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Um well, I mean I have. I have
Speaker 1: not been employed for a second about anyone else since
Speaker 1: I got out. But same here say I'm joking. Yeah,
Speaker 1: people ask me like, um, well, maybe they don't. They don't.
Speaker 1: I started that wrong. I fucking hate having a boss.
Speaker 1: The notion of anyone being in charge of me is like,
Speaker 1: it's like this, like someone telling me they're gonna take
Speaker 1: the guns away, like it it makes my skin crawl.
Speaker 1: That's funny, manimals. So just to give you an intro
Speaker 1: for the people who are who are wondering about Donnie,
Speaker 1: I mean, I think there's a huge crossover between our audience.
Speaker 1: Of course that you know loves your stuff, and I
Speaker 1: was looking at your Instagram today and you know, you're
Speaker 1: friends with the guys like Matt Best who we've had
Speaker 1: on before, and you know, I think it's safe to
Speaker 1: say you're in that same category of you know, veteran
Speaker 1: comedy and Jason and I were talking about before we
Speaker 1: brought you on. There's certain things that I think everybody
Speaker 1: could enjoy that you're doing, but then there's other stuff
Speaker 1: that really only veterans are going to understand, which is
Speaker 1: cool though. So Donnie O'Malley, former Marine captain, also runs
Speaker 1: Veteran TV, which is at Veteran tv dot com. The
Speaker 1: website is Donnie O'Malley dot com. And uh, I should
Speaker 1: also throw in there. I didn't know until I was
Speaker 1: looking up your stuff that you all sort a pretty
Speaker 1: successful book called Embarrassing Confessions of a Marine Lieutenant that
Speaker 1: people could still pick up on Amazon dot com. Well, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: book the book did, Okay, it did. I saw like
Speaker 1: ton of reviews on there and and all very highly
Speaker 1: uh ranked. I think like all five star reviews almost
Speaker 1: on there, which was cool to see. So before we
Speaker 1: get into everything and what you're doing, I'm sure people
Speaker 1: would like to hear your background and even pre comedy
Speaker 1: of just getting into the Marines and what you did. Uh. So,
Speaker 1: you know, my mother is a Colombian immigrant, father's Irish
Speaker 1: um grandparents immigrated yeah at uh yeah, except everyone thinks
Speaker 1: I'm in a fucking whopper a Jew. I'm both. I
Speaker 1: don't know if it turned out incredibly handsome or terrible.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen your face, ye, like, yeah, then you're
Speaker 1: a fellow New Yorker, which you can kind of tell
Speaker 1: with that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just noticed bronx um. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know you're my My roots is where everything
Speaker 1: comes from. And I'm I don't know if both of
Speaker 1: you guys are just Jason's from New York, but like
Speaker 1: both you okay, yeah, So so just imagine this, dude.
Speaker 1: My dad's side of the family is his his his
Speaker 1: um father was the oldest of ten children, and all
Speaker 1: ten of them lived in this one house in Queen's Village.
Speaker 1: And then as they grew up, everyone got another house
Speaker 1: somewhere in Queen's Village. So it's this huge Irish, blue
Speaker 1: collar Catholic family and h then they started marrying a
Speaker 1: bunch of Italians Hispanic here and there, and and they
Speaker 1: all maintained this the same, uh like same New York
Speaker 1: Catholic blue collar attitude that is just full of comedy,
Speaker 1: NonStop laughter, very dark humor. You know, we would place
Speaker 1: bets on who was the next family member to die
Speaker 1: at every funeral um. But you know, but there was
Speaker 1: no like we didn't have the other elements of your
Speaker 1: typical uh, you know, lower middle class or maybe upper
Speaker 1: lower class family. You know, there was no abuse. Um,
Speaker 1: tons and tons of alcoholism, like terrible amounts of alcoholism.
Speaker 1: But just like, the family is where everything stems from.
Speaker 1: And I've been thinking about that more and more lately.
Speaker 1: I'm just so grateful for the family that I was
Speaker 1: given or born into, because that's where all the comedy
Speaker 1: comes from. And I go back to New York one
Speaker 1: or two times a year and I hang out with
Speaker 1: some of my cousins, you know, guys who are these
Speaker 1: big giant men who have been doing some sort of
Speaker 1: construction job their entire lives. And I watched them at
Speaker 1: the bar telling stories, and it's like I could hire
Speaker 1: every single fucking one of them to be in one
Speaker 1: of my shows or one of uh an act in
Speaker 1: a stand up tour. Every one of them has that talent.
Speaker 1: So it just runs in the family. I give it
Speaker 1: all to them. I think I think it goes it
Speaker 1: goes back to like our affinity for like Mafia movies
Speaker 1: and just growing up in that culture where you know,
Speaker 1: these guys would tell stories, but they always had that
Speaker 1: punch line. So I think, help over here, like we
Speaker 1: we knew the importance of the punch line. You know. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's true, man, it's natural storytellers. It's wild. Um okay. Certain.
Speaker 1: After that, moved to North Carolina for a little bit,
Speaker 1: um four years there. I Uh, I identified as a
Speaker 1: young African American male for a couple of years there. Uh.
Speaker 1: Then came to San Diego when I was twelve and
Speaker 1: been here ever since. I went to college Santego State.
Speaker 1: I was I was president of my fraternity twice, like
Speaker 1: total fucking frat boy to the extreme. Education was not
Speaker 1: the uh the forefront of my college experience. And then um,
Speaker 1: and then I worked for a couple of years have
Speaker 1: my own business and just doing triathlon and ship and
Speaker 1: then uh joined the rings. Wow so later on in
Speaker 1: the game and someone like you yeah, yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: went in when I was a baby, still wet behind
Speaker 1: the ears. I mean, like I said, he, I mean,
Speaker 1: is it true you were you were a substitute teacher
Speaker 1: as well? Yeah, we're at dude, what what what? What state? Um?
Speaker 1: It was in San Diego. It was in some really
Speaker 1: rough schools, and that's why I hated it. I just
Speaker 1: wanted to kill the kids. They couldn't do it. Due
Speaker 1: to a buddy of mine's a teacher. Well, he used
Speaker 1: to be a public school teacher. Now he's in charter school,
Speaker 1: and so he's loving charter school because it's like sucking
Speaker 1: militant over there. It's a business above anything. But he
Speaker 1: was a public school teacher and he used to invite
Speaker 1: me over to talk to the kids, like, you know,
Speaker 1: motivationally or whatever. Bro, this is the scariest thing in
Speaker 1: the world. These kids are like out of control. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: it's some of the At one time, one of those
Speaker 1: little fox through a fucking eracer at me. Okay, these
Speaker 1: fucking pieces of ship. Let me tell you, fucking I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get all fucking piste off right now. I was tired.
Speaker 1: Now I'm fucking fired up. So I go into this
Speaker 1: classroom and I just want to like, I was excited
Speaker 1: to be a good influence on them because my mother, um,
Speaker 1: being a Columbian immigrant, UM lived in a really shitty area.
Speaker 1: You know, she grew up in the hood, that's all
Speaker 1: she knows. A shitty area in Colombia, shitty area in
Speaker 1: Queens in Jamaica, in a Storia, and she has been
Speaker 1: a teacher ever since she finish college. The only schools
Speaker 1: she has uh, I've been able to fit in and
Speaker 1: actually be a benefit to the school have been in
Speaker 1: the hood. She tried. She tried the white schools. It
Speaker 1: didn't work out. She only lasted a couple of months.
Speaker 1: You know, she would like smack a kid upside the
Speaker 1: head or grab him by the ear or something and
Speaker 1: tell them the shut up, and the parents complaining she
Speaker 1: out so So you know, I grew up visiting my
Speaker 1: mother in these schools, and I was so excited to
Speaker 1: to get in there and be a good influence on
Speaker 1: these kids. I didn't care so much about teaching the subjects,
Speaker 1: although I love teaching. I just wanted to be a
Speaker 1: positive role model for them. And I walk in this classroom,
Speaker 1: the teacher tells me, all right, so here's what I
Speaker 1: want you to do. All these kids failed their tests.
Speaker 1: Every single student in the class except for maybe one
Speaker 1: or to fail the test. Most of them got like below.
Speaker 1: So she said, I'm giving them the opportunity to retake
Speaker 1: the test with an open book. Okay, they got an
Speaker 1: hour and a half of an open book and they
Speaker 1: can get as high as a sea. So I come
Speaker 1: in there and explain this to the kids. UH set
Speaker 1: the timer, and they sit there and funk off like
Speaker 1: they they you know the term zero fox nobody everyone
Speaker 1: in the military, they're all fucking full of shit. Everyone
Speaker 1: gives fox. You know who doesn't give a fuck? Some
Speaker 1: kid in the in the in the public school in
Speaker 1: the hood. That kid really doesn't give a fuck because
Speaker 1: he sits there all of this entire class from my kids,
Speaker 1: sitting there looking at the opportunity to pass a test
Speaker 1: and saying, nah, I don't give a fuck. And then
Speaker 1: I hug around, I give a motivational speech on why
Speaker 1: it's important for them to at least try to get
Speaker 1: the sea, and um, sometime in the middle of my speech,
Speaker 1: I get a fucking eracer thrown am and I lost
Speaker 1: my ship, and I like clenched up like I was
Speaker 1: gonna fight someone, and I think I called them losers,
Speaker 1: and UH told them they were never gonna be anything
Speaker 1: more than a loser if they didn't take school seriously.
Speaker 1: And ship and I only lasted. I was a sub
Speaker 1: like maybe five more times, and I was I got
Speaker 1: out of the game man, Like I tried it, It's
Speaker 1: not for me. Gotta go Nope, dude, that's gotta be Like.
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy the fact that you could have
Speaker 1: a successful career in the fucking Marine Corps you don't
Speaker 1: last much time as a substitute teacher. People. This is crazy, man.
Speaker 1: Those kids are nuts. So it's the truth. Truth takes
Speaker 1: so much like genuine heart and patience. It's wild. And
Speaker 1: my mother has been doing her entire life. My brother
Speaker 1: has been doing it for for eight years. I just
Speaker 1: I admire them so much because when I was a
Speaker 1: personal trainer, I actually had a bunch of clients who
Speaker 1: were school teachers in San Diego Unified, which is the
Speaker 1: district the biggest district and and someone that has all
Speaker 1: the schools in the hood and with the gang problems
Speaker 1: and ship and uh uh. I had three of them quit,
Speaker 1: and all they ever talked about was how much they
Speaker 1: hated the kids and how miserable they were. They would
Speaker 1: fucking you know, they would try to discipline the kids,
Speaker 1: and then a parent would come into the middle of
Speaker 1: the classroom and start cursing out to the teacher for
Speaker 1: disciplining the child. Then the teacher would go to the principle,
Speaker 1: and the principle would have the parents back because the
Speaker 1: parents would suit the school. So it's like it's a
Speaker 1: completely failed system. And uh and and some people do
Speaker 1: it for decades. Man, it's nuts. God bless him. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know how the hell they could do it.
Speaker 1: I don't know how my best bud does it. But
Speaker 1: you know, it takes a special resilient kind of person
Speaker 1: to be a teacher. I gotta tell you. So, Donnie,
Speaker 1: talk to me about the Marine Corps. Talk to me
Speaker 1: about being an infantry officer. I'm so intrigued in that
Speaker 1: because you have such a fucking sense of humor. How
Speaker 1: did you work it out? How did you get to
Speaker 1: lighten up or you know, you had to keep some
Speaker 1: sort of like stoic persona in order to get things
Speaker 1: moving or were you just doing things your own way? Um? No,
Speaker 1: I definitely And this was you know, the most challenging
Speaker 1: part of my military experience was having to suppress some
Speaker 1: of my personality. And uh, you know, I was My
Speaker 1: father was an infantry officer many years ago. His empty
Speaker 1: officer then became a doctor in the Navy, so his personality, uh,
Speaker 1: naturally lent. He was you know how they teach you
Speaker 1: like officer like, you don't just turn it off. That's
Speaker 1: the way my dad is naturally he is that guy.
Speaker 1: Um So I observed that growing up, and I knew
Speaker 1: what it meant to be a professional and to be
Speaker 1: a quote officer when necessary and completely shut off the
Speaker 1: humor and you know, and and to be a fucking
Speaker 1: boss when needed. And so I was able to It
Speaker 1: was just a switch. And uh, you know, I was
Speaker 1: constantly flipping the switch on and off, which is exactly
Speaker 1: what they trained us not to do. But I couldn't
Speaker 1: help it because that is just not my personality. I
Speaker 1: just had to flip the switch when appropriate. And sometimes
Speaker 1: sometimes I would suck it up and I would uh,
Speaker 1: I would have it flipped the wrong way. But but
Speaker 1: very few instances I was well, I like to think
Speaker 1: we have to go back to some of my marines
Speaker 1: and ask them what they thought. Their Their perception is
Speaker 1: probably you know, there's so it doesn't mean you know
Speaker 1: who's right and wrong, you know what I mean, That's
Speaker 1: one thing I learned throughout the years. Sure, sure, but
Speaker 1: I mean I'm still close with almost every marine I
Speaker 1: ever served with. They still reach out to me for
Speaker 1: any number of things, from college admissions to job references
Speaker 1: to fucking we're acting with me and stuff. You know
Speaker 1: I've had. I've employed two of my machine gunners, UM
Speaker 1: and UH, and my goal was to employ a whole
Speaker 1: lot more of the of the boys I served with UM,
Speaker 1: so you know, I have a good rep with them.
Speaker 1: I just I just mean, like I'd like to know
Speaker 1: a little bit more about UM when they thought I
Speaker 1: was being too fucking too immature, like when I should
Speaker 1: have turned on the officer mode because I thought it
Speaker 1: was pretty good about it. If I was in fun
Speaker 1: of them, I had switch flipped in the right direction
Speaker 1: for the most part. You got to cut back with
Speaker 1: your your staff and CEOs a lot though, right because
Speaker 1: I can imagine I'll probably your only outlet to work
Speaker 1: around with those guys, oh man, staff and CEOs and
Speaker 1: other lieutenants we had, especially in Afghanistan the time of
Speaker 1: our fucking lines, we had so much fun together. We
Speaker 1: had such good staff, and though I was so fortunate,
Speaker 1: all the staff and CEOs, the platoon sergeants were just
Speaker 1: bad motherfucker's man. They've been irapped two three times plus
Speaker 1: Afghan and Um, you know they were able to to
Speaker 1: bust our balls as lieutenants but still respect us as men. Yes, Um,
Speaker 1: it's a fine it's a fine line. It's definitely a
Speaker 1: skill to have as a staff and CEO. You gotta
Speaker 1: be able to be you know, get your point across,
Speaker 1: you know. But he's still you know, walk on their
Speaker 1: night's a bit, just a bit. Yeah, yeah, it really
Speaker 1: it's it's a crazy thing, crazy balance. But we uh,
Speaker 1: we did it well. I actually ended up becoming on
Speaker 1: my first appointment, which it was IMU, I became very
Speaker 1: close with my buddies platoon sergeant, and he's become one
Speaker 1: of my best friends this day. I gotta tell you,
Speaker 1: if I was one of your marines, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you'll get me off your fucking couch. I would
Speaker 1: never leave you out. Now, what's the next project? Boss? Uh?
Speaker 1: So I got out, I got out the Marine Corps,
Speaker 1: and it took me a while to figure out, or
Speaker 1: should I say, to cut the umbilical cord and to
Speaker 1: figure out that I wanted to go a totally different
Speaker 1: direction with my life. So it took me a couple
Speaker 1: of years to realize that I wanted, you know, delve
Speaker 1: into art and just kind of like immerse myself in
Speaker 1: that and kind of lose the military, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Um, was anything like that? Did anything like
Speaker 1: that occur for you? Like when you got out? Was
Speaker 1: there a period where you just he was just like lost,
Speaker 1: you didn't know what to do until it hit you
Speaker 1: fuck comedy, dude. Nope, it was that right away. No,
Speaker 1: because because here's the thing, man, I'm very fortunate, and
Speaker 1: that's part of why, you know, I get asked. Um.
Speaker 1: I used to ask more frequently, but uh, you know,
Speaker 1: well a lot of civilian reporters assumed you know, well,
Speaker 1: well I'm sure you know, helping people's been you know,
Speaker 1: really cathartic for all of your issues, and I'm like, actually,
Speaker 1: I don't have any issues. Um, I never really did.
Speaker 1: I mean maybe for like the first month when I
Speaker 1: came home two months, maybe when I came home from Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: I felt a little different around certain people and I
Speaker 1: just didn't want to be around him. But I have
Speaker 1: no issues. Man, I'm so fucking lucky. It's luck, dude.
Speaker 1: You know, you know some yeah, some guys don't have issues.
Speaker 1: Some guys you know that, I see it all the time.
Speaker 1: Those guys have been in twenty plus years with like
Speaker 1: five six deployments under their belt, and they're cool. You know,
Speaker 1: I definitely get it. What I meant was, when did
Speaker 1: it dawn on you that you wanted to do comedy?
Speaker 1: You wanted to kind of like hit the lights, which
Speaker 1: you go from being a serious disciplinary and which you
Speaker 1: probably you know you you had to be at some
Speaker 1: point a little bit. You know, we're just talking about
Speaker 1: that officer wise, but like really sitting there and saying,
Speaker 1: I gotta let this ship go. I gotta be me
Speaker 1: and you know, not be scared or think about what
Speaker 1: other motherfucker's think about me, because I want to go
Speaker 1: this route. You know, you understand. I mean, yes, Um, okay,
Speaker 1: So again I'm very lucky easy because um, I was
Speaker 1: a wounded warrior battalion for a year and a half
Speaker 1: before I got out, and I was never hit by
Speaker 1: enemy fire. I just kept breaking and I never stopped.
Speaker 1: I never Uh oh, that's not true. The the second
Speaker 1: time I broke my ankle, I broke it like five UM.
Speaker 1: I missed one day and it was like one little
Speaker 1: evolution to in the m A I course, in quanticle
Speaker 1: other than that I just kept destroying myself and and
Speaker 1: then just ended up and wartime they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna go to the grunts anymore. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to la movie you. And I was like, no,
Speaker 1: I didn't join the Marine Corps or not be in
Speaker 1: the fucking infantry. So they said, we can retire you,
Speaker 1: and I was like, tell me more. And I did that.
Speaker 1: Um so I and Wounded Warrior Battalion. I had the
Speaker 1: luxury of a year and a half to figure out
Speaker 1: what I wanted to do with my life. But I
Speaker 1: didn't really need to figure anything out. I knew, but
Speaker 1: I was like nineteen years old. My dream was to
Speaker 1: create what Adam Sandler created, Happy Madison Productions, which is
Speaker 1: a production company that makes comedies. They staffed with my
Speaker 1: friends and family, and I wanted to make movies. I
Speaker 1: wanted to make the greatest. I'm a filmmaker at my core,
Speaker 1: and it's because the way I view life since a
Speaker 1: young age has almost been through the lens of a camera.
Speaker 1: I see a movie playing, and I've through through all
Speaker 1: of the most intense experiences of my life. I felt
Speaker 1: like I was watching the movie and at in that moment,
Speaker 1: I thought about how I would make this movie, how
Speaker 1: I will turn what I'm experiencing right now into a movie.
Speaker 1: That's how I lived my life and experience everything and
Speaker 1: have since I was nineteen. So my initial plan was
Speaker 1: I wanted to be in the Marines for ten years.
Speaker 1: My my my dream was marsok. Uh. Back then it
Speaker 1: was a five year commitments, was what they were doing.
Speaker 1: So I figured, you know, four years and agoing through
Speaker 1: your training, five years of marsok and get out that
Speaker 1: I wanted to be a teacher and a coach, and
Speaker 1: then when I retired from that, then I would pursue
Speaker 1: my dreams and film. But after my experiences in the
Speaker 1: Marine Corps, when I always kind of just because I'm
Speaker 1: fucking sick, funk, I just kind of thought I was
Speaker 1: gonna die. While I was in the Marine Corps, I
Speaker 1: was just ready for it, you know, like I've lived
Speaker 1: an awesome life and and so now like I realized
Speaker 1: that when after my my first big surgery on my ankle,
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm gonna live, Like, and if I'm gonna live,
Speaker 1: the only fucking thing I'm gonna do is chase my dream.
Speaker 1: My dream is to own that big company and make film.
Speaker 1: So uh, so I started. I had the luxury. Again,
Speaker 1: this is not a typical experience, so I'm I'm so fortunate.
Speaker 1: I took forty three units of classes in a year
Speaker 1: and a half, UM in a year and a half
Speaker 1: while active duty captain, while going through three surgeries, and
Speaker 1: uh fucking all as one b and it was all film.
Speaker 1: It was. It was in production, directing, writing, drama. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I went to film school too. Yeah that's cool, man.
Speaker 1: And and it's hard. A lot of people don't realize,
Speaker 1: like film is not easy. And then not only that,
Speaker 1: the fucking technology keeps changing every year with the software,
Speaker 1: and everything's like one minute you're using final cut, the
Speaker 1: next minute Avis is sucking the bee's knees, and then
Speaker 1: after that, so for you, like what the hell is
Speaker 1: going on? Yep, it's like, you know, it's like any
Speaker 1: perfective I would say professional industry, Actually no, that's not
Speaker 1: true any regardless of your industry. It's like, if you
Speaker 1: want to be at the top of the business, you
Speaker 1: have to be a lifelong learner and constantly staying ahead
Speaker 1: of the game. And film is no different. So um,
Speaker 1: I also took UM in addition to those classes that
Speaker 1: I was taking. I also knew like I basically created
Speaker 1: a plan for myself. I was like, I am gonna
Speaker 1: go to l A like everyone else does and try
Speaker 1: to make it. I fucking at It's that. That to
Speaker 1: me was like death. So I was like, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: make myself and I'm gonna do it using the only
Speaker 1: talent that I have right now, which is storytelling. And
Speaker 1: so I was writing my story as an email, sending
Speaker 1: them to my friends. Um, I've always been that guy,
Speaker 1: you know, at a party telling surrounded by six dudes,
Speaker 1: telling some fucking self deprecating story. UM, usually about me
Speaker 1: sticking my dick and a woman that was at least
Speaker 1: twice my weight and blowing prematurely. Was this in? Uh yeah?
Speaker 1: So you were pretty much a fucking marine from birth.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh yeah, Bro, I've been a proud minute man,
Speaker 1: and I've been a proud supporter of women five and
Speaker 1: below since I was sixteen. Somebody it was, it was,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a natural fit joined the fucking grunts. Man,
Speaker 1: did you fit right in? Man? It was like Cinderella's
Speaker 1: glass shoe. You showed up and I was like, this
Speaker 1: is my fucking lieutenant, this is crazy. Um yeah, you know.
Speaker 1: And looking back, I should have brought a fucking three
Speaker 1: pound effort to the ball. That would have just completed
Speaker 1: my Marine Corps experience. The cycle would have been done
Speaker 1: right there. So vet TV talk to me about that, brother. Um, So,
Speaker 1: Vett TV was highly accelerated. Um, you know, not procreational.
Speaker 1: I'm blowing the word right now. Manifestation of my the
Speaker 1: dream that I thought I would make reality when I
Speaker 1: was fifty. Um. And and and it's also a different market.
Speaker 1: I never I never intended to just make stuff for veterans,
Speaker 1: but it was like, after my military experience and knowing
Speaker 1: that that I experienced those six years in the Marine
Speaker 1: Corps with such a sense of humor, it was just natural.
Speaker 1: It all started with I just started writing a blog,
Speaker 1: and I knew that I would build an audience and
Speaker 1: I would uh, my stories would just get around through
Speaker 1: word of mouth, and then I would turn the blog
Speaker 1: into a book, and then another book, and another book
Speaker 1: and another book, and I would say I would continue
Speaker 1: to build the audience. Save the money from my books.
Speaker 1: I self published everything, and then I would use that
Speaker 1: money to then make short films and then eventually bigger films,
Speaker 1: and that's how I would get to my dream. And
Speaker 1: that's kind of exactly what happened, except I only wrote
Speaker 1: one book. That book, Um, it ended up my my, my,
Speaker 1: my biggest fan of the blog, a good friend of
Speaker 1: mine fucking smoked himself. So I actually redid the book
Speaker 1: a month before release, and I had I added him
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just a comedy about my last
Speaker 1: combat up and then I turned it into a message
Speaker 1: about suicide awareness and prevention. And then the last part
Speaker 1: of the book is actually a step by step, actionable
Speaker 1: plan that the Marine Corps could take to reduce suicide.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, you know, I know people
Speaker 1: are going to read this book because I know my
Speaker 1: ship is funny, so I might as well include something
Speaker 1: beneficial to our community while I have their attention. I
Speaker 1: feel like that's got to be a hard thing to do,
Speaker 1: to walk the line between making a book that's funny,
Speaker 1: that's veteran humor, but then also add in this very
Speaker 1: dark but serious problem. You know, I feel like that's
Speaker 1: got to be a hard thing to do because you're
Speaker 1: writing a book you want people to laugh, and then
Speaker 1: at the very end, hey, suicide awareness for veterans important
Speaker 1: like how do you do that? How do you weave
Speaker 1: that together? Um? I didn't. Let's see, I didn't. I
Speaker 1: to put simply, I had a message about it in
Speaker 1: the preface. Then each chapter was a different story that
Speaker 1: part of the same experience that it all took took
Speaker 1: place over like four or five days, and then in
Speaker 1: between each chapter was a uh the name of somebody
Speaker 1: who had smoked themselves. And then at the end of
Speaker 1: the book there was a wrap up. So it's like
Speaker 1: the only thing to like break away from the actual
Speaker 1: story and the humor would have been the the messages,
Speaker 1: the or the like the little memorials in between each chapter.
Speaker 1: But you know the way, I fucking this, this is
Speaker 1: what I thought as I was doing because I had
Speaker 1: the same thought that that you just said. I was like,
Speaker 1: we in the military, but especially the grunts, like you
Speaker 1: become accustomed to going through moments of incredible um seriousness
Speaker 1: and heartache. You know, when someone gets hit, it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you don't when you're in the fucking
Speaker 1: the heat of the battle, you're not fucking you know,
Speaker 1: you're not worried about or you're not sad, but well, all,
Speaker 1: he's not me, I know, man, maybe I'm sure many
Speaker 1: people are. But it's like after the battle, then it's
Speaker 1: just fucking miserable, and then like the next day, you're
Speaker 1: sucking back to work, you know, and then the jokes
Speaker 1: are fucking flying again, and then your se your battle,
Speaker 1: you're fucking intensive, fuck and then uh, you come down,
Speaker 1: and then you're making jokes and intensive fucking someone gets hit,
Speaker 1: you come down, you're making jokes. So it's like I
Speaker 1: felt like I wasn't making this book for anyone but grunts.
Speaker 1: I did not give a funk a single person read it.
Speaker 1: And that's why the book hits so hard, was because
Speaker 1: I didn't try to make it for everyone. I spoke
Speaker 1: typically to the grunts and uh, especially combat grunts who
Speaker 1: had shared this experience, and I knew that that I
Speaker 1: could get away with it in this book, and then
Speaker 1: that's how it ended up working out. Dude. That's and
Speaker 1: that's right up from what I understand. That's right up
Speaker 1: your your alley. You know. To me, it's natural the
Speaker 1: way you take dark subjects and spin the humor on them,
Speaker 1: the comedy on them, and like you said, that is
Speaker 1: extremely indicative to infantry Marines. That's what we do. It's
Speaker 1: an emotional roller coaster. One minute, you're in a firefight,
Speaker 1: you lose a buddy, you come back to the most
Speaker 1: somber meal in the world in that fob and then
Speaker 1: you know, right before you hit the rack, you're freaking
Speaker 1: playing grand theft photo fucking joking around with your friends.
Speaker 1: And it's just something you have to do. It's nuts,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's to think that that is your reality.
Speaker 1: It really it really throws things into a tail spin,
Speaker 1: you know, and it's hard to come back from that
Speaker 1: because and and so I think that's why we we
Speaker 1: we grasp dark humor so much. You know, it's us
Speaker 1: not taking the serious things we've done too serious. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna say the episode that we did with
Speaker 1: Jesse Davenport Jason. You know, I think for the average
Speaker 1: civilian listening to that, where you guys are laughing about
Speaker 1: smoking guys as snipers, I think people would be pretty
Speaker 1: shocked that you're able to laugh about that stuff. But
Speaker 1: as as like the lone civilian here, you know, I
Speaker 1: I haven't experienced what you've experienced, so I don't I
Speaker 1: don't get why how you're able to see humor in this,
Speaker 1: but it's it's almost like a coping mechanism. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and and I think it is more so than anything
Speaker 1: but the ship. After a while, it genuinely becomes funny.
Speaker 1: Like I'm sure Donnie could attest to that. The ship
Speaker 1: is hilarious. Man. It's like the the oxy the barrage
Speaker 1: of oxy morons all day long. When you're serving and
Speaker 1: in a fucking war zone, it's like like you have
Speaker 1: the fucking what was that? Uh, the dude, it's like
Speaker 1: mash first off your show now at Hearts and mind right,
Speaker 1: So what it's called? Dude, that's that's the perfect title
Speaker 1: because that that speaks and this is something a lot
Speaker 1: of civilians won't get. That speaks to and and correct
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong. That speaks to the irony of
Speaker 1: what we do in these some of these countries, like
Speaker 1: we try, you know, we go out there and believe me,
Speaker 1: all the higher ups, all the people want you know,
Speaker 1: you know, above Donnie's pay grade, you know, but they're
Speaker 1: he's they're they're dictating to him, with delegating to him.
Speaker 1: What how we're supposed to act. We're supposed to hand
Speaker 1: out these soccer balls? We're supposed to, you know, buy
Speaker 1: these guys computers and you know, help him out and
Speaker 1: help the women out and all this good ship, and
Speaker 1: you know, we generally get wrapped up into that and
Speaker 1: then next thing, you know, it's like, I don't think
Speaker 1: these people kind of want what we want. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they don't want what we want, you know,
Speaker 1: And it's just it's just ridiculous. And you have to
Speaker 1: hang onto that. That that that mantra Hearts and Minds.
Speaker 1: He's like, nah, funk that, dude. We're smoking all these
Speaker 1: bitches and getting out of here up, dude. It is
Speaker 1: like the perfect fucking title. Speaking on that, Talk to
Speaker 1: me how that came about, because, like I said to me,
Speaker 1: that is so reminiscent of mash and I think you
Speaker 1: guys are onto something really crazy there. You know, I
Speaker 1: just want to hear what the hell inspired that and
Speaker 1: how did you come about it? Um So, Hearts and
Speaker 1: Minds is actually the title of one episode of the
Speaker 1: show A Grunt's Life and um Grunt's Life, you know,
Speaker 1: we mm hmmm, you know Vet TV was it was
Speaker 1: is all, you know, an idea in my head for
Speaker 1: a while, but the actual execution was very very initially
Speaker 1: primarily me and one other filmmaker named Braydon Smith, who
Speaker 1: is now one of my best friends. And uh, this
Speaker 1: is continued busting his ass off working on our net
Speaker 1: production as we speak. Actually I think they're in a
Speaker 1: writer's meeting. Yes, that just started. So um, he is
Speaker 1: a grunt from TO seven and he actually his unit
Speaker 1: replaced mine in Afghanistan and we have the exact same
Speaker 1: sense of humor and our We are filmmakers, the way
Speaker 1: we see the world is the same. And as we
Speaker 1: started talking about these big dreams of what we wanted
Speaker 1: to create as filmmakers, were like, we have to make
Speaker 1: a show that that every infantryman who has ever served,
Speaker 1: but most specifically postline eleven grunts hold as the holy grail.
Speaker 1: And right now I don't have data to back this up,
Speaker 1: but just based on everyone I've talked to, it seems
Speaker 1: as if Full Metal Jackets and Generation Kill are the
Speaker 1: holy grail of entertainment of of both both sides of army.
Speaker 1: Emery jen Kill nailed Post nine eleven warfare, and uh,
Speaker 1: we were like, we have to make something better because
Speaker 1: we don't want to just recreate reality. That's Holly, Hollywood
Speaker 1: already tries to do that. Um, we want to recreate
Speaker 1: it and parody it and and make light of the
Speaker 1: experience because we're all well aware of the miserable parts
Speaker 1: of combat, But there were so many parts of combat
Speaker 1: that were so fucking incredible and beautiful and exciting that
Speaker 1: every one of us will look back and wish we
Speaker 1: had could get that experience again, just for a fucking moment.
Speaker 1: Like if we could just fucking fly to Afghanistan for
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks on vacation, you know, I'd
Speaker 1: blow a hundred grands just to go back and join
Speaker 1: a fun rifling company and get a radio and start
Speaker 1: calling and fires, you know, like I would give anything
Speaker 1: for that. Did that ever make you want to do
Speaker 1: any contracting like Jason has, because I think for some
Speaker 1: guys like they do miss that rush. Now that's why
Speaker 1: we always go back, man, Yep, exactly why. But um,
Speaker 1: none of the contracting jobs that I was eligible for
Speaker 1: without having Specops experience, we're worth my time. It was
Speaker 1: all post shit. It was all you're an infantry officer,
Speaker 1: so you're good at at planning and running operations and stuff.
Speaker 1: And uh, that was those are all the jobs that
Speaker 1: I was looking at. I talked to a couple of
Speaker 1: recruiters and I was just like, no, I don't want
Speaker 1: to do that I was trying to do. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead, No, No, I don't mean to cut you off.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying I just wanted to mention the brass
Speaker 1: is kind of what screwed you on that, because you know,
Speaker 1: being one of the guys that you know, we look
Speaker 1: at resumes and all that stuff. Once I see a
Speaker 1: marine captain come across my desk, there's no way in
Speaker 1: hell I'm putting you straight on mobile or some fucking
Speaker 1: drop arm. Details not happy, and you're we're gonna start
Speaker 1: grooming you for what you probably don't want to do,
Speaker 1: which is like talk operations and like that. Yeah. So
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna tell you you guys are gonna get
Speaker 1: a kick out of this. This is just an illusion
Speaker 1: to what a sick funk I am. So what I
Speaker 1: really wanted. I wanted the jungle just because I don't know,
Speaker 1: probably from watching Vietnam war movies. That was my first
Speaker 1: introduction to war and in the Marine corps. Um, I
Speaker 1: just want to fight in the jungle, right, So I
Speaker 1: just developed this fantasy in my head of going to
Speaker 1: South America somewhere and like joining some fucking South American
Speaker 1: UM little militia and setting in traps on an ambushes
Speaker 1: on drug smugglers. And I started looking at UM. I
Speaker 1: totally forgot I did this. So I was looking at
Speaker 1: Dinah Corps because it Dina Corps did a lot down
Speaker 1: South and nothing. Then I started looking at Catholic missions
Speaker 1: and contacting Catholic missions directly to ask them who provided
Speaker 1: security for them? And uh, and then I was going
Speaker 1: to uh talk my way into fucking providing security for
Speaker 1: Catholic mission, probably get them all killed in the process
Speaker 1: by the time I showed up, and then that would
Speaker 1: be my way of getting in with some of the
Speaker 1: militias and guerrillas down there. That was what went through
Speaker 1: my head. That's what a sick am. Of course, none
Speaker 1: of this came to fruition. You're yeah, but it seems
Speaker 1: like it worked out. It seems like it worked out
Speaker 1: for the Do you speak fluent Spanish? No, I used
Speaker 1: to be pretty fluent. Um. I lost it, but I
Speaker 1: can get it back really quick. Yeah, let's say, man,
Speaker 1: that will definitely help down the South America. But you know,
Speaker 1: needless to say those uh, those aspirations are gone, right,
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, I'm dude, I'm I'm I'm such a
Speaker 1: fucking pussy now. It's disgusting. The just the other night,
Speaker 1: I was at the grocery store and uh, I bought
Speaker 1: two frozen meals and I put him on the thing
Speaker 1: and I'm going to check out, and I'm with a
Speaker 1: girl and she grabs the bananas that I bought. We
Speaker 1: were high, we bought like bananas, matela and fucking uh
Speaker 1: and microwavable gourmet dinners, right, and so so she grabs
Speaker 1: bananas and I go to grab my frozen dinners. The
Speaker 1: women didn't give me a bag. And we walked there
Speaker 1: and I think to myself for a second, oh no,
Speaker 1: that's gonna make my hands cold on the walk home.
Speaker 1: So maybe I should ask for a bag. That's what
Speaker 1: a fucking pussy I've become. No, I don't. I don't agree.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't call you a pussy. I mean, that's like
Speaker 1: my friends over here, just because I'm sucking from New York,
Speaker 1: it starts sucking snowing anywhere and they're like, oh, aren't
Speaker 1: you from fucking New York. Why are you shivering, bitch?
Speaker 1: Because I go inside the house once it starts sucking
Speaker 1: snow and this heat in there like no, you know,
Speaker 1: And plus we're out in the fucking woods during our
Speaker 1: career and freezing our ass off, wet and ship and shivering,
Speaker 1: and who the funk ever wants to be uncomfortable again?
Speaker 1: If you don't got to do it intentionally, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean? I get it. I get it. Man,
Speaker 1: it's not pussy. Mental toughness I had is gone. You
Speaker 1: don't need it. Funk that ship, yeah, yeah, you can
Speaker 1: smoke bud and bang hot chach all day long. Congratulations,
Speaker 1: all through love and you made it was Valhalla fairy Tales.
Speaker 1: Was that your biggest like skin or the one that
Speaker 1: kind of put you on the map, because that was
Speaker 1: the one I couldn't do. I watched that ship like
Speaker 1: dirty times. It had me crying. Man, Oh wait wait
Speaker 1: that wait? Was that? Um that's the yeah, that's the
Speaker 1: one where you were doing the brief and the fucking
Speaker 1: turp was there and ship and the um no, what
Speaker 1: put me on the map was the one that was
Speaker 1: The second one was the first one. It was a
Speaker 1: mockumentary on the first female to graduate infantry. End to
Speaker 1: that one, that was a good one, I think I
Speaker 1: think the other one was better though, Man, that ship,
Speaker 1: I think that one right there is more in line
Speaker 1: with what you're doing now. It's like that humor that
Speaker 1: only we could appreciate. I think people were looking at
Speaker 1: that like, why does he keep telling his turkey's gonna
Speaker 1: kill him? For sure? That one, Um, it was more
Speaker 1: targeted to combat infantrymen, and that's what helped me develop
Speaker 1: more die hard to following amongst infantrymen. Nice. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: the one thing I was going to ask before he
Speaker 1: wrapped this up, Jason was talking about it with me.
Speaker 1: We've talked about it in past that past episodes. Um,
Speaker 1: the social media biased stuff, you know, when you're blasting
Speaker 1: stuff out, and we've seen it with Soft rep Um.
Speaker 1: You know, we have a huge following on Facebook and elsewhere,
Speaker 1: but it's gotten to the point where they're specifically taking
Speaker 1: down stuff that literally promotes manliness or or in some
Speaker 1: cases if there's like a gun pointed at his screen,
Speaker 1: they're like, this is intimidating. We don't want it. I'm
Speaker 1: sure you've seen it with YouTube, demonetizing videos even more
Speaker 1: than we have because we don't do as much on
Speaker 1: YouTube as you. But I just wanted to hear your
Speaker 1: perspective on that ship. Um, so we haven't experienced. I
Speaker 1: can't relate to what you just said about taking down
Speaker 1: stuff promoting manliness. We don't promote manness. We promote terrible
Speaker 1: war crimes and gratuitous sex. Um. But uh WHOA part
Speaker 1: of what is um of why that TV had to
Speaker 1: be done the way it is done now, with with
Speaker 1: it being a private, subscription based network, is because it's ours.
Speaker 1: We have zero regulations on our content except we can't
Speaker 1: do porn. However, we are going to be moving to
Speaker 1: a new platform within the next year where we own everything.
Speaker 1: Um and uh it's we're partnering up with a couple other,
Speaker 1: another big veteran brand. I don't know if I'm allowed
Speaker 1: to say, but um uh we will own it. So
Speaker 1: if we wanted to do porn, we fucking can't. No
Speaker 1: one can tell us no. When you said another veteran brand.
Speaker 1: I think I have something in mind, but I won't
Speaker 1: say it if you don't want me to. Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't, all right. I think I have
Speaker 1: a good idea of who it's it's not us, you know,
Speaker 1: I'll say that, but I think I have a good
Speaker 1: idea of it. When that dre got drunk in and
Speaker 1: I'm thinking may be a certain someone I mentioned earlier
Speaker 1: in the interview, I'll just say that maybe he scares
Speaker 1: the fucking shit out of me. And I feel like
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in front of my father when I talked
Speaker 1: to him. So, um, so I'm not going to fucking
Speaker 1: open my mouth any further. That's cool, though, man, that's
Speaker 1: great to see. No, the thing that I was wondering
Speaker 1: actually more like we've been hit on Facebook, but I've
Speaker 1: seen like the YouTube demonetization stuff and you have certain
Speaker 1: stuff on there that's like hundreds of thousands views that
Speaker 1: could you know, affect the money that you're making and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. So I mean, if you haven't seen it,
Speaker 1: that's great though. No, when we actually have never monetized
Speaker 1: anything on YouTube, there you go, okay, you don't care. Um,
Speaker 1: everything that you see on social media is just marketing
Speaker 1: to bring people to the paid network to get the
Speaker 1: five dollars a month and so we can continue making
Speaker 1: film for the community. Yeah, I think that's the way
Speaker 1: to do it. Man. So Um. The website once again
Speaker 1: is Veteran tv dot com. If you want to pick
Speaker 1: up the book we were talking about, it's Embarrassing Confessions
Speaker 1: of a Marine Lieutenant. Follow Donny on Twitter on Instagram
Speaker 1: at Donnie O'Malley. Hopefully we could retweet out this show
Speaker 1: once we get it up, which will be tomorrow. But
Speaker 1: anything else you want to get to. I mean, it
Speaker 1: was honor having you on for the first time, and
Speaker 1: we'll definitely do this again, especially if you're ever ever
Speaker 1: in New York. We'd love to have you come in studio. Um. Actually,
Speaker 1: I am considering coming to New York at the end
Speaker 1: of December. You guys gonna be around. Yeah, man, we'll
Speaker 1: be here. Let's do it, dude. One more question, man,
Speaker 1: what units? What units have you been in? And what
Speaker 1: was your favorite unit? Don't get me, no fucking PC ship.
Speaker 1: There's gotta be a favorite, you know, like when you've
Speaker 1: got children, you got a favorite child. What was your
Speaker 1: favorite unit? Oh? Well that's easy for me because I
Speaker 1: was only in one ship. I'm spending captain over here.
Speaker 1: Maybe you went on to like a B but but
Speaker 1: you said you went to the Wounded Warrior Baalian I
Speaker 1: got I was a and phony captain. I wasn't leading
Speaker 1: anyone when I picked up that rank. I was, and
Speaker 1: so I was leading myself to go talk to fucking
Speaker 1: eighteen year old chicks at the junior college. I was
Speaker 1: going to. UM so anyway, nice man. Yeah, so we'll
Speaker 1: definitely set something up for when you're in New York.
Speaker 1: We'd love to make it happen. I'll email you guys.
Speaker 1: But yeah, anything anything else before we wrap this up? No, um,
Speaker 1: anything else you want to plug? No, that TV is
Speaker 1: my baby. That's where my life savings is in a
Speaker 1: big chunk of my parents life savings and friends. So
Speaker 1: that's all I want to plug. Um, it's better in
Speaker 1: TV dot com. Is is the bigger website, the one
Speaker 1: where you actually do this watching the videos is Veteran
Speaker 1: TV dot tv um and there's link that's not hard
Speaker 1: to find. There's links all over dot com, but it's
Speaker 1: um uh the LA. I want what I would like
Speaker 1: for everyone to understand that we are trying to do
Speaker 1: with that TV is create one show for every MOS
Speaker 1: in the military. And that's like the twenty year vision
Speaker 1: because we the grunts and operators have lots of entertainment
Speaker 1: made about that experience. But an army fucking mechanic, army
Speaker 1: motor t or Air Force admin, maybe Navy air wing
Speaker 1: and the enlisted side, they don't have shows made for them.
Speaker 1: And that's our job. We are filmmakers, writers and directors
Speaker 1: and actors and this is our business in the business
Speaker 1: of making shows. So um, the the intent. Although right
Speaker 1: now we only have three shows, in the long term,
Speaker 1: we're going to have dozens to hundreds of shows that
Speaker 1: are made for someone who was served for just some
Speaker 1: short period of time to sit back and watch a
Speaker 1: show and relive their experience and feel when they're done
Speaker 1: watching the show. And that's that's why we exist as
Speaker 1: a business. And uh so the more people who subscribe,
Speaker 1: the quicker we can make shows for everyone. Awesome, man,
Speaker 1: well great having a fellow New Yorker on as well.
Speaker 1: I feel like we all share that same humor in
Speaker 1: a way. It's not just the vetter than humor. It's
Speaker 1: definitely the New Yorker thing too, uh coming from like
Speaker 1: all different cultures, I mean just between the three of us, right,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of different cultures there. Yeah, so a
Speaker 1: little heavy on the Hispanic side now, because then you
Speaker 1: got Italian, Irish Jewish. I mean that I feel like
Speaker 1: that's New York right there, like, and I think we
Speaker 1: got everything coming in here. Ah yeah right, we need
Speaker 1: some black girls. Need a brother in here, dude. Yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely we have to have We have to have James
Speaker 1: Powell come on. And that another marine too. Man, we're
Speaker 1: dominating ship cool man. Well, yeah, I'll definitely be in touch.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it, Donnie. Thank you boss, Hey, thanks for coming
Speaker 1: on the show. You're the fucking man. Keep it up.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I that's funny you say that because I
Speaker 1: look up to guys like you who have done so
Speaker 1: much more than me and have experienced so much more
Speaker 1: battle than me. You are my hero, and when you
Speaker 1: when you, when you say that kind of shipped to me,
Speaker 1: actually makes me uncomfortable. I'm just a comedian. You're the
Speaker 1: real fucking warrior here. So thank you, man. I don't
Speaker 1: know what to say. Man, I'm fucking humbled, bro, seriously,
Speaker 1: thank you man. Fuck, that's all I'm gonna leave it
Speaker 1: at fuck great having him on. I look, I look
Speaker 1: forward to doing something in studio. Hey, So there's other
Speaker 1: stuff I wanted to get to us I mentioned here.
Speaker 1: So we'll get to it. On Twitter at undiplomatic Gun
Speaker 1: tweeted me at Ian Skato, Uh this Dennis Rodman article
Speaker 1: and this is actually originally from the aph Dennis Rodman
Speaker 1: asked Trump for formal role as North Korea envoy. Dennis Rodman,
Speaker 1: the American basketball player turned freelance diplomat, has urged Donald
Speaker 1: Trump to sign him up as a piece envoy in
Speaker 1: North Korea after his latest foray into Kim Jong UN's
Speaker 1: hermit kingdom was scuppered by a travel band preventing US
Speaker 1: citizens from visiting. During an interview with Beijing from where
Speaker 1: Rodman had hoped to fly to pyong Yang for his
Speaker 1: sixth trip there, the former NBA star said US officials
Speaker 1: had discouraged him from doing so amid continuing tensions between
Speaker 1: the countries, and the quote was basically, they said, it's
Speaker 1: not a good time right now. A State Department ban
Speaker 1: on US passport holders visiting North Korea came into force
Speaker 1: in September one after the death of Otto warm Beer.
Speaker 1: You know we know all about that, of course, um.
Speaker 1: But then Dennis says, if I can go back over there,
Speaker 1: you'll see me talk to him, and sitting down and
Speaker 1: having dinner, a glass of wine that guy doesn't love
Speaker 1: to drink, laughing and doing my thing. I guess things
Speaker 1: will settle down a bit and everybody can rest at ease.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people around the world want
Speaker 1: me to go just to see if I can do something. Uh.
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman has been a recurrent theme of this podcast.
Speaker 1: We gotta send him an email, But yeah, what do
Speaker 1: you think of the whole um North Korea ship with him? Dude?
Speaker 1: If he's going over there in no official capacity, you're
Speaker 1: going over there to drink, to fuck and be merry.
Speaker 1: How serious do you think the fucking president is going
Speaker 1: to take him in matters of fucking you know, government
Speaker 1: that is? I feel like foreign affairs though. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying is I'm not talking about Trump.
Speaker 1: I'm talking about uh Kim Jong un. How he's not
Speaker 1: gonna take fucking Dennis Roman serious as far as fucking
Speaker 1: foreign foreign affairs? You know what I mean? Like, Bro,
Speaker 1: you're coming over here, you probably go through about three
Speaker 1: or four women a fucking night, you know. To be honest,
Speaker 1: he's been over this six times. Got to be the
Speaker 1: time of his life, you know what I mean? You're
Speaker 1: you're dealing with someone who has their thumb on the
Speaker 1: entire country. I'm sure he can do whatever he wants.
Speaker 1: So where he thinks sees fucking buddy buddy with this guy,
Speaker 1: what I see is nothing's changed whatsoever with his attitude, demeanor,
Speaker 1: you know, as far as his perspective towards the United States,
Speaker 1: you know, with Dennis Roman coming back and forth, and
Speaker 1: nothing's fucking changed. And it's not like he says, Hey,
Speaker 1: Americans are faking cool because you know Dennis Rahman, I
Speaker 1: got to know him, and if they're all like him
Speaker 1: and sucking, they're awesome. No, that hasn't happened yet. It's
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. I don't I don't see it. I
Speaker 1: gotta ask the big question that I ask everybody when
Speaker 1: we get into this. Have you seen the big banging
Speaker 1: pyeong Yang? I was so good. You gotta watch a
Speaker 1: man go on that big banging Pyongyang. Yes, it's all
Speaker 1: about Dennis Robbin's trip over there, and uh it is.
Speaker 1: Did it seem theatrical? Did it seemed like dramatized? Well,
Speaker 1: Dennis Rodman is clearly honestly an alcoholic, you know, and
Speaker 1: he goes over there and he he gets completely wasted
Speaker 1: and has the time of his life. And I mean
Speaker 1: he doesn't do a good job representing America by any means. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know. He goes over there sings Happy Birthday to
Speaker 1: Kim Jong n Uh. The North Korea in attendance are
Speaker 1: clapping along because they feel like they have to. I'm
Speaker 1: sure they don't feel like I should say I stay corrected,
Speaker 1: but it's not like they're singing because the funny thing
Speaker 1: is this is the first time they've ever heard this
Speaker 1: song in their life, you know what I mean, they
Speaker 1: don't know what song? Is this a real song? Yeah?
Speaker 1: They're like, what is this? Uh? You know? And and
Speaker 1: the really crazy thing is to watch the NBA players
Speaker 1: that he brings over there, the former players, and they're
Speaker 1: trying their best to be diplomatic and professional, and he
Speaker 1: screws the whole thing up because he's Dennis Rodman and
Speaker 1: he can't control himself. Uh. It's you gotta watch it.
Speaker 1: I highly recommend that. I've said it many times in
Speaker 1: this podcast. I feel like I'm like doing marketing for
Speaker 1: them or something. But I enjoyed it, dude. I will
Speaker 1: as far as Dennis Rodman do whatever the hell you want,
Speaker 1: just leave the US's name out of it. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know, I think he likes the celebrity. You know,
Speaker 1: he says in the documentaries like they're not asking Lebron
Speaker 1: James to come over. They're not, you know, they're asking
Speaker 1: me to come over. So yeah, man, I guess when
Speaker 1: you got the last thing to hang on to, you
Speaker 1: hanging on to that ship? Tight? Yeah. Um emails. This
Speaker 1: is a good one from Jason sent to soft Rep
Speaker 1: dot Radio at soft rep dot com. I definitely wanted
Speaker 1: to acknowledge this because I thought it was you know,
Speaker 1: you've said it before. You always like to talk about
Speaker 1: groups who are doing good things for veterans, and you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes you have veterans charities tooting their own horn. It's
Speaker 1: cool to hear from someone that they actually helped, so
Speaker 1: that you know that they're doing the right thing. Gentleman,
Speaker 1: I just spent the weekend hunting with Patriot Hunts. I'm
Speaker 1: a captain in the United States Army and work in
Speaker 1: so Calm in the Civil Affairs branch. I just want
Speaker 1: to update you on a on a get organization called
Speaker 1: Patriot Hunts. They take wounded vets retired service members, active duty,
Speaker 1: and Gold Star kids on a wide range of different hunts.
Speaker 1: I spent the weekend deer hunting in North Carolina since
Speaker 1: some station in Bragg, I was able to get my
Speaker 1: first year. Ever, it has been years since I was
Speaker 1: ever able to hunt, with deployments and training exercises getting
Speaker 1: in the way. Patriot hunts covers lodging and food at
Speaker 1: the meant is local or in a neighboring state. They
Speaker 1: will try to car pool to save on transportation costs
Speaker 1: for the individual participating. They will help get licensing and tags.
Speaker 1: They will even help get gear and proper weapons for
Speaker 1: the hunt. The guides are all veterans, are current active
Speaker 1: duty that offered their time to share the great outdoor
Speaker 1: experiences with people that have also made great sacrifices. They
Speaker 1: hunt all over the United States. They will also take
Speaker 1: time during the hunt to pass on knowledge they learned
Speaker 1: from hunting. I just thought I would pass this info
Speaker 1: on so you guys can give them a look. It's
Speaker 1: been brought uh, It's been brought up on the podcast
Speaker 1: many times about different organizations that reach out and help
Speaker 1: veterans and families. So after spending time with them, this weekend.
Speaker 1: I knew you guys should know about them, so, um,
Speaker 1: when I saw this email, was like, have we talked
Speaker 1: about them before? And I looked back. I actually talked
Speaker 1: about an organization called Freedom Hunters on episode one thirty
Speaker 1: one while we're at shot show. It was twenty fifteen,
Speaker 1: so it was a while ago. Um, you know, because
Speaker 1: we've got a right around the corner but very similar organization.
Speaker 1: And I think it's cool. Man. There's a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the veteran community who are big on hunting,
Speaker 1: especially from those communities, so it's good to see them
Speaker 1: bring them into some more so it's it's great to
Speaker 1: hear from someone who is directly who directly benefited from
Speaker 1: the charity. That's amazing, man, And they're doing it. You know,
Speaker 1: you you you you worry about a lot of these, um,
Speaker 1: you know, these charity organizations and exactly you know what
Speaker 1: are they're doing because you're not You're donating, but you're
Speaker 1: not participating, you know what I mean. So I mean
Speaker 1: to hear that and to see that, you know, he
Speaker 1: had such a great time and you know, the the
Speaker 1: plethor the plethora of individuals that they're helping from gold
Speaker 1: Star children, which you know that kind of you know,
Speaker 1: warms me up there. That's amazing to you know, wounded
Speaker 1: veterans and even active duty members like they're not you know,
Speaker 1: singling anyone group. They're like, you know, whoever served and sacrifice,
Speaker 1: we got you back. That's cool, man. And it's cool
Speaker 1: that's veterans running it too, because there's that camaraderie there. Um. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's a great thing. Believe it or not.
Speaker 1: I've never gone hunting. I love to, but I never
Speaker 1: I never done an official I never hunted officially, Like
Speaker 1: I always talked about this one situation and I shot
Speaker 1: the hell out of coil you know, in Korea, in
Speaker 1: South Korea. Yeah, so it exploded because obviously I didn't
Speaker 1: shoot it with the right caliber. That's all I have
Speaker 1: with three o eight. So the thing that I you know,
Speaker 1: I guess that the reason I've wanted to do it
Speaker 1: is because of the fact that, like I would love
Speaker 1: to eat freshly hunted and I have that I had
Speaker 1: eight fresh meat because I've I've worked with several guys
Speaker 1: that were like, you know, huge and hunting and tracking
Speaker 1: and alles all the outdoors outdoors life. I've have a
Speaker 1: you know, fresh venison jerky. You know, when I used
Speaker 1: to work as an instructor down in Stone Bay, Man
Speaker 1: our guys used to come in all the time with
Speaker 1: jerky and you know, you know fresh meat. Um. One time,
Speaker 1: I ate freaking mountain lion. What it was it was
Speaker 1: pushed into a sausage and it had a little que
Speaker 1: was a fucking halepenio and cheese in it. Dude, Mountain
Speaker 1: lion was awesome. I had um venison jerky at shot
Speaker 1: Show and also venison Chile. Yeah, I mean I've had.
Speaker 1: I just think it'd be cool to the experience that
Speaker 1: this is something that you did, you know, I think
Speaker 1: we're so desensitized to um. You know, you go into
Speaker 1: a grocery store, everything is shrink wrapped, it's it's probably
Speaker 1: been a couple of days since it was actually killed.
Speaker 1: You know. I think it'd be cool to have that experience. Uh.
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan is really big on hunting, and he actually
Speaker 1: talked about the first time he hunted, you know, became
Speaker 1: very fascinated with it and then actually got into it.
Speaker 1: And what he said was he was like, I feel like,
Speaker 1: if if I'm gonna eat meat, which I do, I
Speaker 1: feel like I should have an experience of killing it myself.
Speaker 1: And he's like, if I don't feel comfortable with it,
Speaker 1: maybe I should become a vegetarian or something, you know,
Speaker 1: because like you're comfortable with He just wanted to give it.
Speaker 1: I get it, and he became very into it, so
Speaker 1: I you know, it's kind of weird when people um like,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan. Not to judge, you know, because
Speaker 1: I know people were into it. I'm not a fan
Speaker 1: of the whole trophy hunting thing. That's a whole another topic.
Speaker 1: But I don't I don't get the people who look
Speaker 1: down on hunters in general, because unless you're a vegetarian,
Speaker 1: it's like, shut up because you're you're eating something that
Speaker 1: was probably killed in a much more inhumane way if
Speaker 1: you're getting into the grocery store. Can you imagine how
Speaker 1: fucking pacified the world would be if everyone was a
Speaker 1: vegetarian or vegan. Everybody be walking around like low energy
Speaker 1: and bro I don't want to fight, man, it's cool.
Speaker 1: I couldn't picture it. I couldn't do the vegetarian thing myself.
Speaker 1: It's good to experiment, maybe for like thirty days. They
Speaker 1: say anything, you know, it's good to try anything out
Speaker 1: for a little uh you know, small portion of time.
Speaker 1: But I would try being a vegetarian for thirty days
Speaker 1: just just to see, you know, what the benefits are
Speaker 1: or how I actually felt. Um, Vegans even crazy vegans
Speaker 1: even crazy because you're talking about what no butter, no milk, no, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that to me. I think vegetarian, you could definitely survive,
Speaker 1: be strong, be healthy. Vegan. I think you need you
Speaker 1: need some of these fats, you need some of these
Speaker 1: vitamins to supplement. But yeah, you know they do say
Speaker 1: animal protein like all very important in certain vitamins that
Speaker 1: are just in animals. I wouldn't want to just be
Speaker 1: getting uh that from supplementation. But to be fair, I
Speaker 1: think I have a pretty decent diet. There's people who
Speaker 1: talk on the vegetarians and vegans and they're eating like
Speaker 1: McDonald's three times, so they're they're not exactly the same way.
Speaker 1: I won't go crazy. I won't eat like fucking McDonald's
Speaker 1: burger king Ish. I hate that ship. I can't bring
Speaker 1: myself to eat that stuff unless I'm on my kids,
Speaker 1: which is crazy because they love it. So because of them,
Speaker 1: I would eat McDonald's. But I'll try to get like
Speaker 1: just a boring as southern chicken sandwich or something, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm not really enjoying it, but
Speaker 1: you know, I'm doing off of the kids, you know,
Speaker 1: but I'm that's not you know, that doesn't keep me
Speaker 1: from enjoy holiday dinners at home. I'm sucking Puerto Rican.
Speaker 1: You know. We got the bennine we got. You know,
Speaker 1: we got the hands, we got the plug chops we got.
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm sorry, man, foods to goddamn good and
Speaker 1: it's Christmas and we just came through Thanksgiving. I'm sorry, man.
Speaker 1: This is the best time of the year for food
Speaker 1: where I come from. You know what I mean, I
Speaker 1: can't be a vegan bro. So you keep sending emails
