091: Life and Death w/Stiffy The Mortician Mar 19, 2023

Show notes

We all have to deal with death someday, our guest this week deals with it daily for a living. Stiffy The Moritician joins Nathan and B.R for an anonymous, humorous and very honest discussion on the funeral industry, the risk of being scammed while grieving, family run versus corporate funeral homes, the education that goes into becoming a mortician and funeral director, the car salesman tactics and a detailed description of the options of embalming, cremation and the ‘green option’ of aquamation (alkaline hydrolysis). The lads also get into medically assisted dying, how humane retirement homes actually are, the extreme risks of cremating morbidly obese people, the many variables of picking up a person from where they died, the not all too rare situation of people not reporting a dead relative for days out of shock, the lack of support for morticians when the job weighs on them, working around funeral regulations during the pand*mic years for families and much, much more!
*CONTENT WARNING* NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH OR THOSE SENSITIVE TO THE TOPIC OF DEATH*

090: Gun Owners of America’s Ben Sanderson Mar 12, 2023

Show notes

Ben Sanderson, Federal Lobbyist on Capitol Hill for Gun Owners of America joins B.R and Nathan to discuss the situation on gun rights in 2023, and why we have reason to be hopeful for the future! The lads get into Ben’s job walking the grim halls of Washington D.C. to inform, educate and advise policy makers ignorant on guns and the existing moronic laws in place, deciphering and sharing leaked ATF and associated federal documents with the public, how politicians are vetted as 2A supporters and the modern posturing of the ‘pro gun’ candidate posing with a rifle with zero follow through. The gang also get into where the lizard people of D.C are laying their eggs, some white pills on the continued spread of the right to self defense amongst many different communities and how ‘the wrong people’ can be pushed to do the right thing.

089: Schizopatronus! Mar 05, 2023

Show notes

Lucas joins Nathan for a good old fashioned schizocast episode to discuss the controversy around the new Harry Potter game, the stranglehold the film and book series had on British youth culture in years past, the not so delicate handling of shoehorning a trans character in, bringing a gun into Hogwarts and how developers and game quality in the modern day are crushed by deadlines. The lads also get into the on-going situation in Ohio and Trump’s ‘aid drop’ of a few pallets of water and buying McDonalds for everyone, the year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, the former US secretary of Energy, Sam Brinton, stealing a Tanzanian clothing designer’s luggage and wearing it publicly, Sam Hyde’s TED Talk and Lucas gets into Sam Hyde lore, car dependent infrastructure and how government intervention to fix this issue instantly trends authoritarian. The lads also touch on home invasion horror films like the new M. Night Shyamalan ‘Knock at the Cabin’ and the original Purge movie.

GUEST SHOW WEEK- Forrest of Redacted Culture Cast- Raids, Culture 3.0 Onwards, AI Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

This week, as Nathan recovers from returning the One Ring from Mount Washington in New Hampshire and BR is unable to edit or upload, we had to call in a favor- and our favor came in the form of Nathan doing another podcast and asking for the audio file so you guys have something for Monday. Schedule will resume as normal next week.

Forrest runs Redacted LLC- former cool-guy Ranger, former Recoil Magazine media producer and now a travelling cultural spectator. Find more of his stuff on https://www.redactedllc.com/ , where he has a podcast that's a lot more intelligent than ours with a bit less Tedposting. Forrest will be joining us soon to make new guides. We wax philosophy, talk about Gun Culture 3.0-4.0, reminisce a bit more on Shot, and worry about the future of AI technology.

As always, huge thanks to AWS Gear for keeping our lights on and food on the table (ARTANDWAR10 gets you ten bucks off of an AWS SMU warfighting belt), as well as all you guys on Patreon. Please, message me with guest ideas- we're compiling a list for the coming months now that our winter of illness and death is almost over.

Show notes

Jack of Guerrilla Tactical returns to the show to chat with Nathan and B.R! The lads get into Every Day Carry medical supplies and Guerrilla Tactical’s new IWB mini-IFAK, making carrying medical ‘sexy’ and how preparedness is becoming less of an afterthought. Also covered is Jack’s trip alongside Grizzly Tactical to provide medical training to a unit of Ukrainian troops in Odessa, traveling into the country on a blacked out train and hearing rockets overhead, the phenomenon of volunteer fighters from overseas and fighting in conflicts that aren’t your own, the questionable recent ‘Don’t arm your enemy’ sentiment trending towards authoritarian politics, the importance of using quality life saving/preserving equipment like authentic CAT tourniquets instead of Chinese copies and much more!

085: Print, Shoot, Repeat and the GunTube-Pocalypse Jan 29, 2023

Show notes

In the wake of mass strikes and warnings out of nowhere against GunTuber creators, Print, Shoot, Repeat joins Nathan and B.R to discuss his experiences as a gun content creator on YouTube. The lads talk how the increased hostility towards gun content on YouTube will impact their future, how the YouTube strike system and resulting lifetime ban works, our thoughts on whether this is state, corporate or a mesh of both influencing YT policy to stomp out gun culture entertainment, the loss of FPSRussia due to dumb laws, the slow sanitization of the internet for corporate interests, what needs to happen to start to fight back against big tech censorship, why YT competitors like Odysee, Rumble etc. just aren’t quite ready to compete yet and what comes next. On a lighter note, the gang talks the SHOT Show after parties, giant Hotwheels, Castlevania and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots and more at the CRYE Precision party, hanging with the OTTE Gear and Varusteleka lads and some real talk on where the night vision industry is at currently and how far away NVG’s are from being as common as AR’s and Plate Carriers!

084: The Lads do SHOT Show w/Redbeard Tactical Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

Nathan and Felix of Redbeard Tactical sit down with B.R (coping with FOMO) to recount their first time at SHOT Show, the annual massive gun/gear industry event in Las Vegas. B.R asks the questions all of our listeners want to know, from why the lads decided to trek from Canada and Germany respectively to attend, what they made of it, the slowly shifting industry attitude to citizen riflemen, the difference between revolution and evolution in products, the ‘consooomer’ mindset of some attendees and the community at large, the Holosun thermal optic and why it might not deserve the attention it’s getting, someone actually handing the ATF booth Nathan’s meme, handling LMG’s and learning things from manufacturers you would never otherwise get to do and much much more! The lads also share how Nathan broke his foot in Vegas, a cringey attendee wearing ‘concealed’ soft armor to go and gamble in, what’s shaking in the world of night vision, the differences between SHOT and European arms trade shows, the importance of after hours and why there is a certain lack of ‘new solutions’ in the industry.

Show notes

Joining B.R this week is Mark, founder of the Appalachian Ranger Association, a volunteer citizen preparedness group focused on training in the practices of Minutemen, civilian first responders and community assistance operating out of Knoxville, Tennessee. We get into how the Rangers came to be, the rules and structure that keep them consistent, interacting with the public, providing aid to local communities following recent storms in many different roles, building up from eight guys to company level strength, force multiplying good, going beyond rifleman training to specialize in engineering, reconnaissance and more! Give this episode a listen if you are looking for ways to step up your local group’s training ability, organization and mindset!
