In the first episode of Between 2 Guns, Brent Tucker sits down with Kyle Morgan for a satirical conversation built around tough questions and deliberately uncomfortable humor.
Between 2 Guns is a recurring segment of the Tier1 Podcast designed to ask the questions others avoid, not because they’re important, but because they’re awkward, unnecessary, and entertaining. This episode sets the tone for the series, blending deadpan delivery, irony, and lighthearted interrogation.
If you enjoy satire, uncomfortable laughter, and watching someone navigate questions they were absolutely not prepared for, this episode is a proper introduction. Subscribe to the Tier1 Podcast for Between 2 Guns episodes, long-form conversations, and content that does not take itself seriously.
