**TRIGGERWARNING** In this episode Bryce and I are drunk and it was a last minute recording. We talk about suicide, escorting his best friend SGT Timothy D. Sayne, a fallen soldier home, and TAPS is played. These are difficult subjects but needed to be discussed. You'll hear plenty of tears but also enjoy laughs too! Stick through it, it'll be worth it.
