If this were a 1980s sitcom, it would be promoted as 'a very special episode of The Grey Man Podcast.' Since it isn't the 80s or a sitcom, we'll just call this the season finale.

Holy shit on a shingle, it's been a crazy ride the past week or so under the new/returning president. Things were said, signed, and probably inappropriately touched. Host Mike and Producer Jim discuss how we, as human 'murcans, talk about the things we can and cannot control. Check out the show for a specific challenge to those disagreeing with mass deportation. Shitty Choices involves being silent, living in the past and future, and chewing body parts. Good luck to us all!

We finally hear "Why Not Harris" from Host Mike, then the gents cover topics ranging from US DOD Regulation 5240.01 to worldwide wars, and many points in between. There's no "Shitty Choices" segment this time around in honor of the actual real-world shitty choice Americans face on election day.

Host Mike and Guest Greg each have long resumes involving security and military operations; check out the discussion and learn their thoughts on how the Secret Service and associated entities handled the event. Of course, a few extraordinary events have happened since the last episode. Opinions and predictions were made on how our country will proceed in the months leading up to and following the November election.

Strap in for a review of a recent Supreme Court decision that will impact us all, and of course a Grey Man Podcast assessment of the first 2024 presidential election debate (debate debacle…debatcle). Not sure how it came to it, but Shitty Choices resulted in a discussion about whipped Halle Berry and Sandra Bullock floating around in space in her panties. Well, we do know how it happened but it's hard to explain in writing. Also, we believe this is the absolute greatest and truest final words in the history of podcasting.

The gents are back to catch up on life, liberty, and the pursuit of idiocracy. Talking points range from what's happening in politics, to the cult of personality society we've apparently created, to the death of discourse resulting in the death of democracy (or, federal republic, as it were). Host Mike scored 1/5 in Shitty Headlines; can you do better? Some time was spent recognizing June as PTSD awareness month.

Book recommendations include Rough Riders by Mark Lee Gardner (did you know that at least two Rough Riders were alive in 1973?!?) and From Strength to Strength by Arthur C. Books (did you know your life might actually change at 50yrs?!?). The Ultimate Shitty Choice was presented to Host Mike. You need to know that this decision will impact him for the rest of his life.

The gents checked in on Gaza and Ukraine, of course, and touched on the new push to remove guns from the hands of US citizens.

Raise your hand if you're under official retirement age and have had a hip surgery. Host Mike is and did, and checks in on this episode on how recovery is going. Spoiler Alert: It's not fast enough.

Recorded mere hours after a significant cell service outage in the US, this episode of The Grey Man Podcast comes to you on a freakin' Thursday night! Learn about Host Mike's new skeletal components and Producer Jim's deboozification, then settle in for a round of "What Department of the US Government Is Saying WHAT Now?".

Anyways, check out the conversation about the February 22, 2024 cell service outage. To be clear: No answers on what happened yet. Or maybe ever. But, the gents chatted about what happened, what it wasn't, and what it could've been. Then, of course, the world's hot spots were reviewed. Holy hell, everything is on fire. Also Shitty Headlines made an appearance. If you're still reading this, go get some supplies and schedule some practice drills.

Then they talk about the general state (salute!) of the world, for which Host Mike talks and Producer Jim commiserates. From Russia (with, umm, love?), China, Israel, various shipping lanes, and on to Texas, fans of all types are being shit upon.

Call them flashpoints, regional conflicts, aggressive actions…whatever the media or politicians call it, it's The Great Conflict, or The Conflict to End All Conflicts, or eventually World Conflict I (WCI).

The guys planned to talk about the debt ceiling crisis. They did that, more of a teaser for how bad it could go…keep an eye on that as we approach the June 1, 2023 deadline. In the meantime, and for most of this episode, the conversation centered on what it takes for people to sleep well at night. Is it financial security? Maybe physical security, or knowing we've done everything possible to keep our families safe. Or something else entirely…There's a few nuggets of "dealing with other people" in there, too. Basically…mind your own business and be prepared for all the things. If you'd like to learn more, give it a listen.

Catching up, Producer Jim gave a couple book recommendations and reported on lessons learned from recent concerts. Host Mike recapped a recent BJJ seminar he gave in Wyoming, which is also captured in summation on his inspirational TikTok @michealsian7 (MikeOnLife). Checking in on World Events: What the hell is going on?? Overall, it seems the media might not be giving the full story about anything. We pretty much knew that already, but anyways…Ukraine is still a hotspot for the current proxy war(s), Sudan is a shitshow, and more than twice the number of Chinese have crossed the Mexican boarder into the US in the past six months than in all of last fiscal year.

We're 50 days into 2023. Really, though, we're 1,145 days into 2020. The guys discuss World Events…the usual stuff plus balloons. There's a lot to unpack among the various flare-ups, plus some reminders to do something(s) to prepare.Special guest ChatGPT makes a couple of appearances, including posing some suggested "Would-you-rathers" to Host Mike & Producer Jim.Thanks for your patience this season. Schedules will free up in a couple of months, and we're looking forward to some semblance of regularity (show-wise and gastro-intestinal).

Tech TalkThe Grey Man Podcast goes Technological! It's been a bit since the gents put together a show. Host Mike can see the finish line of his current educational journey, and episodes just might be a bit more consistent thereafter. If we survive whatever is happening around the world, of course. After a recap of current events, the gents dig into tech. VR and AI are becoming more mainstream. Who knows where we will go from here? Producer Jim's geekiness and Host Mike's extensive experience combine to create a discussion well beyond what AI can generate. Yet.

The Grey Man Podcast continues to meander through season four. Host Mike and Producer Jim reconvene to discuss some personal events and world defense this time around…similar, but not quite the norm. Do you know what a misogi is? If you do, the opening segment applies to you! If not, the opening segment applies to you! You'll find out what the gents are up to for 2023. Most decidedly NOT resolutions. But kind of. But not. Anyways, check it out. As happens sometimes, this show goes way off the rails as there's a deep dive into tribes, laziness, and CPR training. If you're looking for a light and easy listen, this isn't the show for you this time around. If you want to be challenged and maybe save a life, S4E06 of The Grey Man Podcast is right up your alley.Support The Grey Man Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=78336939 Podcast Home: https://thegreymanpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Connect with The Grey Man: https://www.facebook.com/thegreymanpodcast Watch the Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpykxwli81fw1C7YPmJopLw/ #thegreymanpodcast #personalevents #misogi #worlddefense #suicideprevention #ptsd #tribes #CPR
Everything is fine, nothing is going to mess up your dinner plans. Carry on.Until it's not okay and everything goes sideways. Host Mike hones in on how susceptible our power grid is to attack and failure. And that's just a portion of what could be about to fall apart! This isn't necessarily the end of the world stuff. Also, it's not NOT necessarily that. Producer Jim gives a summary of the Edged Weapon Seminar he attended that was presented by Host Mike a couple weeks ago. Worth noting: Get in shape, ya filthy animal! A quick shitty choice reiterates an important lesson earned during that seminar…take heart, fellow not-in-shapers, or face the potential wrath of bad guys.Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends of The Grey Man Podcast! We'll be back soon. Or later. At some point, unless the world ends (or we have no infrastructure to support such doings).Oh yeah, almost forgot! The guys talked a bit about unions and corporations, and the challenge was put out there…if you're interested in a deep dive, shout out about it on the Facebook page.

The Grey Man Podcast is back in action, and holy hell there's a lot going on! From the top, Host Mike gives his unique World Events overview: Election results, Ukraine, China, a friggin' missile out of North Korea, and the economy. Any guesses on how he sees things going? Producer Jim kicks off Personal Defense with lessons learned from a recent ruck and an introduction to Host Mike's Brazilian Jujitsu Black Belt journey. This recent promotion means more than a new belt…listen in for how this has changed lives for the better.Support The Grey Man Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=78336939 Podcast Home: https://thegreymanpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Connect with The Grey Man: https://www.facebook.com/thegreymanpodcast Watch the Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpykxwli81fw1C7YPmJopLw/ #thegreymanpodcast #worldevents #electionresults #ukraine #china #nkorea #economy #recession #personaldefense #bjj #blackbelt #proveit
In a Grey Man Podcast twist, this episode is sandwiched by a couple of personal points from Producer Jim. Fitness and Training are the opening and closing bits of S4E03. The meat of the show is World Events, where we learn from Host Mike who is more of a thread…Russia or China. Hint: It's the country pushing against Ukraine and NATO while actively targeting US satellites. There's even some discussion about our country's newest military branch - live long and prosper, Space Forcians! Our newest segment, Prove It!, results in our poor host arguing why Taiwan is actually just a part of China. In order to keep Host Mike's brain from actually exploding, he has the chance to give a reasonable rebuttal to the fallacy at hand; so, we will talk to you again for S4E04!

Tactical Nuclear Weapons, NATO First Strike Rules, and Training for ShitstormsAll that PLUS Host Mike jacked up on Dayquil and bourbon in this episode of The Grey Man Podcast. We dive into what's not really being discussed about the Ukraine war: How likely is it, and what will happen if, Russia strikes with a tactical nuclear weapon. In Personal Defense, Host Mike reflects on real-world training in terms of stress inoculation. Ever been tear gassed? What if someone's freaking out while you're trying to save them? You know the drill…Due to the medical and medicinal condition of our host, Producer Jim gave a pass on Prove It! this time around. That segment, and the guys, will be back soon…stay tuned, and keep your head on a swivel!Support The Grey Man Podcast: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=78336939 Podcast Home: https://thegreymanpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Connect with The Grey Man: https://www.facebook.com/thegreymanpodcast Watch the Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpykxwli81fw1C7YPmJopLw/ #thegreymanpodcast #worldevents #tacticalnuclearweapons #ukraine #stressinoculation #personaldefense #noproveit

There, that title ought to get some clicks. Also, this final episode of The Grey Man Podcast Season 3 talks about those things. After a bit of a break waiting for the dust to settle on the Uvalde situation, the gents realized more dust just keeps kicking up.

Holy hell, there's a lot packed into this episode. After briefly touching on our country's new Disinformation Governance Board and congress's hearings on UAPs (check out the previous episode of The Grey Man Podcast for a preview to that), the gents dug into the state of the U.S. infrastructure. Specifically, the power grid has glaring weakness and our federal government recently announced we citizens should expect more blackouts in the months to come. Yikes. Also, Bush said something that needed deconstruction. Finally, the Personal Defense segment focuses on road rage. Whatever level you've experienced it, we can probably all agree it sucks and is dumb. Check out some solid tips on handling it as a defensive or offensive subject. Shitty Choices involve whipped cream, nude pics of Host Mike's family, and, as always, genitals. Enjoy!

Do You Believe In Extraterrestrials? This episode of The Grey Man Podcast definitively answers whether or not intelligent extraterrestrial life exists and have visited Earth. Or not. Anyway, listen in as the gents discuss control of information, power of governments, and why Host Mike left federal employment (both times). In recent years, the US government announced UFOs are real. And now we instead call them UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. There's a video Host Mike referenced that explains it better…Louis Elizondo is interviewed here, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yX6ETCKyPo Just a quick touch on personal defense shines the spotlight on the Mantis X series of firearm training systems. While the show is not sponsored by the company, maybe let them know who referred you if you end up buying something? Thanks. Shitty Choices is a softball this time around, though one might question the liquid pouring from Host Mike's nose next time one sees him. For real, though, join us on Facebook to chat about UAPs and information control; we'd LOVE to keep this conversation alive!

What's real news these days? Host Mike lays down some solid facts about what's going on in the Ukraine, including high confidence that Russia lost a ship to a country with no navy. As you might expect, Producer Jim challenges what is real news and what's propaganda…and the resulting conversation might make you feel things. Join the conversation on the show's Facebook page to keep it moving, won't you? Producer Jim received an IFAK and breaks it open for the first time on this episode.

How much are you spending on groceries these days? Likely, it's about to go up. Listen in as Host Mike defines the types of inflation affecting the economy and hones in on what's about to happen to our supply chain and costs of living. It's about to get real, y'all. The guys also spend some time on pocket knives and edged weapons in the Personal Defense segment. Did you know that being in shape affects your chances of staying alive? Yup, it's true!

"Today could be the day."So says The Grey Man on this episode of the show, and it's relevant to events in Eastern Europe and in physical fitness. Russia is still on the move. NATO and the world are still offering support without taking hostile action against Ukraine's invading force. Listen in as Host Mike gives insights into what's happening, what could happen, and how what we're seeing today compares to the events leading up to WWII.In the Personal Defense segment, we hear quotes like "The Air Force is fat!" and "You cannot out-exercise a shitty diet." It's not all bad news, though, as Host Mike provides guidance to avoid the pitfalls of being ill prepared for whatever might come our way one day.Shitty Choices shifts the third choice just a bit among choices that once again center on private parts and their activities.

In the style of classic World Events and Personal Defense, the guys go into both the Russian invasion of Ukraine and first aid kits in this episode of The Grey Man Podcast. First off: This is not WWIII. Mistakes were made by current and past U.S. leadership, and bat-shit-crazy decisions have been made by world leaders around the globe. And, now, Ukraine is fighting for its independence. We'll keep an eye on that; stay tuned and remember to vet information invading your brain! Host Mike gives us insights into his IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit), and explains why & what should be carried by those responsible for others in our world. Expect a reminder to get yourself trained in being a valuable member of society, of course. And, Shitty Choices results in far less pooping of tapioca pudding than one might desire.
