Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready Daily Drop, where we lovingly sift through Air Force public affairs briefings so you don’t have to—and by “lovingly” we mean “roast everything that deserves it.” Jared rips through the military’s latest fitness failures, missile launches, undersea cable nightmares, and why Boeing can’t seem to build a plane that doesn’t break straight out of the factory. We also talk about fat reservists gaming the system with "miracle shots," phantom missile test...

2025/04/27

Send us a text This one isn’t a podcast. It’s a goddamn war story. UFC Hall-of-Famer and America’s toughest mustache, Don Frye, joins Aaron and Atlas for a conversation that spans decades, back surgeries, ghost trucks, Vietnam comms tents, and mob-backed wrestling matches in Japan. What starts as a laugh-packed swapcast quickly veers into territory most men won’t talk about: childhood trauma, fear, failure, the shame of weakness—and the rage that fuels resilience. 🦬 Don walks through fire

Send us a text Welcome to another savage Daily Drop where Jared sifts through the Pentagon’s greatest hits — everything from the Air Force shoving 31 more fighters into Korea, to Space Force getting table scraps for a budget, to the shocking revelation that 66% of the Guard and Reserve are apparently auditioning for "My 600-lb Life: Military Edition." Along the way, we roast the Signal App scandal (spoiler: everyone uses it), laugh at the "makeup room" conspiracy (Hexeth allegedly turned the ...

Send us a text Jared is speedrunning this Daily Drop like it’s the last brief before weekend libo. But don’t worry—this episode still slaps. From Air Force leadership dodging infrastructure bills, to a shaving waiver flowchart that sounds like a side quest from Fallout, it’s everything you didn’t know you needed to rage-laugh through.

SEAC rumors. Trump-era leftovers. A Space Force doctrine that might spark Star Wars 2.0. And yes… someone might’ve nuked the SEAC job. Or maybe not. Nobody knows.

From dodging jail time to crushing Navy SEAL BUD/S, serving as one of the only Arabic-speaking SEALs in Iraq, and then—because why not?—ditching his officer gig to become an Air Force Pararescueman, Donny’s story is a middle finger to the ordinary.
