John Allen left college due to bad grades and repeated misconduct after just one semester. He needed direction and purpose. After speaking with two family friends who were high-ranking Navy SEALS, he decided that would be his goal. Allen finished college and then enlisted in the U.S. Navy to pursue the trident.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Allen takes us from a surprisingly tough Navy boot camp to Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL - or BUD/S - training. He explains what the SEAL instructors are really looking for during training, why passing pool comps is so tough, and why a top officer told Allen he would never want to serve with him.Then, Allen tells us about his time in Afghanistan, including his April 2014 mission on which he almost died. He details the fighting in a village, spending hours under heavy fire, and how he was badly wounded.Allen, who is widely known now as the podcaster and producer "Mr. Ballen," tells us what happened after he was evacuated and what his corpsman told him later about the day he was wounded.

Jovon "Q" Quarles grew up on the northeast side of Washington, D.C., with a drug-addicted mother, no father, and a crack house across the street. His grandparents raised him: his grandfather, an Army veteran they called "The Bear," and his grandmother, an amputee who could never attend his games but kept newspaper clippings of every one. She moved him to rural North Carolina, held him to a standard, and when he had two kids before graduating high school, she forced him into the Navy.   Joe De Sena sits down with Jovon to trace the full arc from D.C. to BUD/S, including the Tuesday morning in Hell Week when Q rang the bell, felt instant regret, and had to rebuild his entire identity around ownership to earn a second attempt. He graduated top of his class. His grandmother never saw it.   Things You Will Learn: Why ringing the bell in Hell Week taught Q more about ownership than any mission he ran afterward. The specific mindset shift that turned a kid with no parents and a terrible GPA into a top-of-class SEAL graduate. What the victim mentality costs you, and the exact moment Q stopped using it. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Finish What You Start: Q's grandparents drilled one rule: if you begin something, you complete it. That principle carried him from high school sports through BUD/S and a full SEAL career. Ownership Over Victimhood: After getting kicked from his first Navy program, Q blamed the Navy. That victim response almost ended his trajectory. The shift to personal ownership unlocked everything that followed. Hunger as an Edge: Growing up without parents, money, or stability built a drive that kids from comfortable backgrounds rarely develop. Q treats that hunger as a competitive advantage, not a disadvantage.

His mother was a drug addict in and out of prison. He never knew his father. His grandparents raised him: his grandfather, an Army veteran they called "The Bear," and his grandmother, a diabetic amputee who moved him to rural North Carolina and held him to a standard that shaped the rest of his life. He had two kids before graduating high school. His grandmother forced him into the Navy in 1999. He was kicked out of his first program for lack of discipline, embraced ownership, found the SEAL teams after the Iraq War started, rang the bell in Hell Week, came back, and graduated at the top of his BUD/S class. His grandmother passed before she could see it. Jovon served a full career in the SEAL teams and now appears as Directing Staff on Special Forces: World's Toughest Test (Fox/Hulu, Season 5 premieres September 24).

You probably know the name Jack Carr as one of our most famous and talented novelists through The Terrninal List and other books in the James Reece series. Before his success as a writer, Carr spent two decades in the U.S. Navy, most of those as a U.S. Navy SEAL and he served in both Afghanistan and Iraq.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Carr explains how he wanted to become a Navy SEAL since he was seven years old and read about them in many different books. He also walks us through BUD/S training, why he never seriously thought of quitting, and the reason many candidates drop out long after Hell Week.Carr also reveals how he heard about the 9/11 terrorist attacks, why he became an officer, and finally being deployed to Afghanistan. Then he takes us through two tours in Iraq, including tough fighting in Najaf and a CIA-connected assignment focused on deconfliction.Finally, Carr details how he kept the mission and men front and center during his deployments.

This week on Kush & Crime, we're heading back to New England to talk about the heartbreaking disappearance and murder of 16 year old Molly Bish.Molly was a beloved daughter, sister, friend, athlete, and lifeguard who disappeared from Comins Pond in Warren, Massachusetts, in June 2000. Her belongings were left behind exactly where she had set them down, but Molly was nowhere to be found.What followed was a massive search, years of unanswered questions, multiple persons of interest, frustrating investigative twists, and a family that refused to let Molly's story disappear.We're breaking down the suspicious white car, the infamous sketch, the discovery of Molly's remains three years later, the suspects who came and went, and the developments that have kept this case alive more than two decades later.And of course, we've got Briana's Buds

In today's episode, Jordan sits down with Mike Ritland, a former US Navy SEAL, working dog expert and founder of the Warrior Dog Foundation, for a conversation that runs from a childhood in Iowa to twelve years in the SEAL teams and a life now dedicated to saving retired military dogs from euthanasia. Mike traces his path from a bullied kid in a small Midwestern town, through to bootcamp at eighteen, BUD/S training and a first deployment responding to the USS Cole bombing in Yemen. He talks candidly about life as a SEAL instructor, the psychological pressure tactics used in Hell Week, and contracting Valley Fever, a fungal lung infection that permanently cost him forty per cent of his lung capacity and nearly ended his Navy career. The conversation turns to the moment that changed everything, hearing how an explosive detection dog saved a group of Marines in Iraq, and how that led Mike to found the Warrior Dog Foundation after being asked to take in two combat dogs that nobody else could home. He discusses the ongoing fight for government funded retirement facilities for military working dogs, fatherhood, emotional self control under pressure, and what he sees as the biggest threats facing young men today.

Dusty Turner was granted parole in January 2026 after spending more than 30 years behind bars for a murder he has always maintained he did not commit. Growing up in a military family, Dusty achieved his dream of becoming a Navy SEAL at just 19 years old and joined SEAL Team 4 in Virginia. But in 1995, one night in Virginia Beach changed the course of his life forever, setting off a chain of events that would take him from one of the most elite military units in the world to an 82-year sentence in Virginia state prison. More than three decades later, Dusty is finally out and telling the complete story of what happened that night, the decisions that followed, the evidence that emerged years later, his fight for freedom, and what it feels like to rebuild his life after losing more than 30 years behind bars. _____________________________________________ #prison #wrongfulconviction #navyseals #truecrimestories _____________________________________________ Thank you to FACTOR for sponsoring this episode: Head to https://factormeals.com/lockedin50off and use code lockedin50off to get 50 percent off and 1 free breakfast item per box for 1 year, while supplies last until 10/31/2026. _____________________________________________ Connect with Dusty Turner: https://www.freedusty.com/To learn more about Dusty's case, watch the 2015 documentary, Target of Opportunity, and follow Dusty's official social media accounts: https://linktr.ee/freedustyturner To learn more about Dusty's work as an Ambassador for Veterans Healing Veterans From the Inside Out, and to support its programs helping incarcerated and formerly incarcerated veterans heal, rebuild, and move forward: https://linktr.ee/VHVFTIO _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Framed for Murder 00:37 Growing Up in Bloomington 01:04 A Normal Childhood 02:53 Parents' Careers 03:06 Military Influence at Home 04:02 Choosing the Military Path 05:01 No Regrets About Career Choices 06:19 Boot Camp in Orlando 07:30 Special Boot Camp for SEAL Wannabes 08:22 Why I Wanted to Be a SEAL 10:10 The Water's Pull 11:40 SEAL Reputation in the 90s 14:24 Choosing a Specialty: Photography 16:07 Photography in the SEAL Teams 17:41 Developing Photos and Finding Art 18:44 Straight to BUD/S 19:52 Memories of BUD/S 22:28 Betrayed by the Navy 24:06 Holding Onto BUD/S Memories 26:18 Did SEAL Training Prepare Me for Prison? 27:24 Graduating BUD/S 28:49 Army Airborne School 29:55 Joining SEAL Team 4 at 19 30:58 SEAL Team 4's Mission 31:02 Probationary Period and Training 32:46 The Day Before Arrest 33:26 Ordered to Tell the Truth 35:25 What I Witnessed 37:36 The Night of the Murder 40:00 Meeting Jennifer 41:04 Billy's Anger and the Confrontation 43:19 Fateful Circumstances 45:06 The Attack 46:48 Billy's Violent History 50:20 My Partner, a Psychopath 52:21 After the Murder 55:41 Duty Bound to Protect Him 57:20 No Conflict in My Actions 58:34 Driving Away and Leaving the Body 01:00:30 The Weight of the Burden 01:01:01 Billy's Callous Words 01:02:22 News Reports and Pressure 01:03:04 Decision to Report 01:04:00 The Polygraph Test 01:06:30 Relieving the Burden 01:09:48 Arresting Billy Brown 01:10:56 Helping Find the Body 01:11:28 My Own Arrest 01:13:33 If I Knew It Was My Last Night 01:15:17 Mistakes and Regrets 01:17:54 Life in County Jail 01:18:52 Calling My Parents 01:20:37 Meeting My Attorney 01:21:56 No Plea Deal 01:22:54 Separate Trials 01:23:46 Evidence Against Me 01:24:49 Testifying at Trial 01:26:42 My Lawyer's Performance 01:28:45 Prosecutors Knew the Truth 01:29:31 Arrest to Sentencing 01:30:29 Life Sentence 01:31:37 Billy's Confession 01:32:35 Abandoned by the SEALs 01:34:25 The Judge's Bias 01:35:07 First Prison: Buckingham 01:36:20 Learning to Adapt 01:37:48 Navigating Prison Culture 01:40:45 First Impressions and Treatment 01:42:40 Did People Believe My Story? 01:45:28 Expecting Early Release 01:46:39 The 2008 Writ of Actual Innocence 01:48:13 Appeals and the Single Word 01:49:22 The Word: Restraint 01:53:01 Supreme Court Overturns Release 01:54:24 Feeling After the Overturn 01:55:28 Contacting the Victim's Family 01:56:59 Life Forever Altered 01:59:39 A Parole Board Member's Courage 02:01:00 Becoming Parole Eligible 02:04:16 What Haunted Me Most 02:09:10 What Kept Me Alive 02:11:02 First Day of Freedom 02:14:11 Who Stuck By Me 02:15:21 Family Losses 02:16:27 Reclaiming Lost Senses 02:19:06 Hardest Adjustments 02:21:20 Parole Conditions and Fear 02:21:53 How to Help 02:26:13 Staying Positive 02:27:34 What Good Came From This 02:29:25 Final Thoughts and Veterans Work _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

This episode features Aylin Erengul Gregg, an international school teacher with over 15 years of experience and the creator of the LEAVES approach, an identity-affirming, language-aware framework for supporting multilingual learners in English-medium schools.Aylin traces the approach back to her own experience learning English and to Stephen Krashen's ideas on the affective filter, explaining why language acquisition proceeds best when learners feel safe rather than anxious or defensive. She unpacks the difference between affirming multilingual learners' identities and quietly expecting them to assimilate into systems that weren't built with them in mind, and discusses how a deficit mindset shows up when subject teachers see language proficiency as a barrier to "fix" rather than an asset. The conversation closes with the BUDS — brief, useful, doable strategies — that any content teacher can start using tomorrow without becoming a language specialist.Watch this video episode now on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Andy Stumpf knows what it takes to operate when everything goes wrong. A former Navy SEAL who served with SEAL Team Six, Stumpf spent 17 years in the military, including a tour as a BUD/S instructor responsible for training hundreds of aspiring SEALs. He was also shot at close range by an Iraqi insurgent with an AK-47—and somehow came back to serve again. In this episode, Andy pulls back the curtain on the world of special operations and the psychology of becoming a SEAL. He reveals what he learned about the candidates who ring the bell, the methods he used as an instructor to get them to keep going—or make them quit—and what it really feels like when an AK-47 fragment shatters your sciatic nerve. It's a conversation about fear, pain, endurance, and the strange things that happen in your head when the stakes couldn't be higher. Andy is the host of Cleared Hot, one of the most popular podcasts devoted to military life, special operations, and the people who have lived it.

A Navy captain with 24 years of service went to medical for exhaustion, weight gain, and low mood, and was told to see a therapist and eat less. When he asked for a testosterone test his physician asked whether he had erectile dysfunction, and refused to order it when he said no. His level came back at 160; the cutoff we use in this country is 300. I've treated this population for 15 years, and roughly 27% of operators test below that number.

Navy SEAL Andrew Arrabito sits down to tell the REAL stories behind serving in United States Naval Special Warfare from 2002 to 2012, including time with SEAL Team 5 and SEAL Team 1.In this episode of Urban Valor, he breaks down what BUD/S was really like, the mindset required to survive SEAL training, life as a new guy in the teams, and what combat looked like during deployments overseas.He also tells the incredible story of a nighttime freefall jump where he lost access to his ripcord, began tumbling at low altitude, deployed his reserve chute, survived… and then got back in the aircraft and jumped again.Beyond the military stories, Andrew opens up about growing up in Northern California, losing his father and two older brothers in a plane crash at age seven, and later returning to the crash site in Alaska.

Trump couldn't care less about social media preying on children through targeting algorithms and campaigns, as the Tech Bros thought they bought a president. But that hasn't stopped the Democratic Attorneys General from bringing Meta/Facebook/Instagram to its knees during trial and forcing a $18 billion settlement that includes major changes to Meta's business model and gets them out of the children-targeting market. Popok reports on the settlement announced during the trial that was not going well for Facebook, as Mark Zuckerberg was due up to testify.

Let us know what you think of the show and what we can do better! One of the hardest leadership tests isn't combat, it's standing up to your own institution when the truth becomes inconvenient. We sit down with retired Navy SEAL Captain Bradley Geary, a former commander in Naval Special Warfare, to talk about what it feels like to go from trusted leader to suspected scapegoat almost overnight.Brad walks us through the BUD/S tragedy that ignited years of investigations, media pressure, and internal maneuvering. We unpack the uncomfortable details: black market performance enhancing drugs, how official findings can be re-scoped from the top, and why an autopsy decision not to test for certain substances can change everything. Along the way, we talk about ethics, accountability, and how “procedural compliance” can be weaponized when leaders are told to reach a predetermined conclusion.The most powerful thread is moral courage. Brad explains the isolation that comes when teammates quietly step back, the family conversations that define what you're willing to lose, and the strategic choice to go public and take the fight to Congress. We also dig into the military administrative system, due process gaps, and why “non-punitive” actions can still destroy careers. Brad closes with what comes next: leadership consulting, life after retirement, and his upcoming book, Hard Mind, Soft Heart: A Warfighter's Battle for Truth, Brotherhood, and the Character of the SEAL Teams.If you care about Navy SEAL leadership, military ethics, whistleblowing, and what integrity really costs, subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review.

Andy Stumpf's BUD/S class started with 180 students. 18 graduated. As a BUD/S instructor years later, he got to do something most SEALs never do: sit down with the hundreds who quit and ask them why. The answer was almost always the same.   Joe De Sena talks with Andy, a retired SEAL Team Six operator who was shot during a 2005 deployment, spent eighteen months rehabbing neuropathic nerve damage, and went on to fly charter jets, jump professionally, open a Black Rifle Coffee outpost in Montana, and write the book Drown Proof.   This episode breaks down why the students who quit SEAL training all collapsed the same way, what the difference is between telling someone a run is four miles and telling them to run until you say stop, and why momentum matters more than knowing exactly where you are headed.   Things You Will Learn: The single pattern that appeared in nearly every SEAL training dropout, and why it applies to any goal you have set and abandoned. Why starting to move matters more than knowing exactly where you are going. What changes when you shift from macro goals to micro execution under pressure. Tools & Frameworks Covered: Momentum Over Azimuth: Start moving before you have a perfect plan. Paralysis comes from needing the destination to be clear before taking the first step. Movement creates clarity. Stillness creates doubt. Macro Goal, Micro Living: Set the big target, then forget it. Shrink your world to the next step, the next hill, the next rep. The students who quit SEAL training all failed the same way: their view of time expanded until the distance between where they stood and the finish overwhelmed them. Ask for Help as Strength: The toughest people Stumpf has known all share one trait: when they hit the limit of their knowledge, they find an expert. When they are struggling, they ask. Nobody can read your mind. Until you ask, the people who care about you cannot help you.   'Heads up!

At eleven, his father mentioned the Navy SEALs once, and the idea absorbed every decision that followed. He enlisted at seventeen, barely graduated high school, and never looked back.   Andy served ten deployments as a SEAL Team Six operator. In 2005, he was shot during a mission, suffered neuropathic nerve damage, and spent eighteen months rehabbing as a BUD/S instructor, where he studied why the vast majority of candidates quit on their lifelong goals.   Andy got commissioned as an officer without a college degree, finished his career on a West Coast team, and went on to fly charter jets, jump professionally, teach skydiving, launch a nine-year podcast, and open a Black Rifle Coffee outpost in Kalispell, Montana. His book, Drown Proof, was published in April 2025.   Connect to Andy: Website: https://thestringbean.co/about/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thestring.bean/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ClearedHotPodcast X: https://x.com/AndyStumpf77

Mike is still on vacation this week, so Bill talks to two of our friends who also presented really interesting information at the most recent SABR convention: Adam Daroski, on his quest to identify members of the elusive 400-win club, and Dan Cichalski, on Bruce Springsteen and whether or not you can call a fastball a "speedball" and still know ball (you can). 

After the last game, Cam and Medusa needed to play a good Rareware title, so they sat down and had a good ol' time with Diddy Kong Racing, which got them talkin'.  Suggested Topics: 4 Ways You Torture Yourself, The Boy Thing, Muppet Territory, Use the Mouse, Too Much Grub Tub, Someone Mentioned Smash?, No D&D is Better Than Bad D&D, Friend Slop, Half Measures for Everything 

Part 2 of this conversation with Mike Sarraille picks up inside the deployments that followed Ramadi, including the chaotic quick-reaction mission into Sadr City alongside a hastily assembled team from two different SEAL platoons. Mike breaks down the brotherhood built with Army infantry on the ground, the Sunni Awakening, and why he believes the Iraq War was ultimately a policy mistake despite the valor shown by the troops who fought it. He also opens up about the line he drew when ordered to move his men into an unnecessary risk, his transition to DEVGRU, the reality of Green Team versus BUD/S, the night Adam Brown was killed in Afghanistan, and the devastating loss of Extortion 17—including the brutal process of notifying the families left behind.

Play The Mighty Challenge, Wednesday August 12 edition to see if you have the answer!

Michigan's Growing Pains bred and grew the Banana Taffy, entered it last minute, and beat every California grower in the Proper Smoke League.Tom and Seth of Growing Pains came up through Michigan basements, illegal caregiver traps, and the gray market years before a single license existed in the state. They built a 300-light indoor operation, bred their own genetics, and then flew to California and won. This is the full story.In this episode, JP sits down with the Proper Smoke League champions to unpack what it actually took to get here. They break down why the Banana Taffy nearly did not get entered, how harvest timing and their in-house dueling process shaped a Michigan craft cannabis operation that now competes with the best growers in the country, and what separates a craft cultivator from a production farmer in the current market. If you have ever wondered how Michigan cannabis growers stack up against California, you will have your answer by the end of the first hour.Tom tells the real GMO origin story on record for the first time: three Chem Cookies seeds popped by his buddy Billy in a Michigan basement, the corn-stalk structure that gave it the name, and why Ann Arbor dispensaries refused to sell anything called GMO and renamed it Garlic Cookies. They also get into the Motorbreath 15 history, the genetics game-changer moment that shifted Seth's entire growing approach, and what the cannabis industry loses when people consume the product wrong. This episode covers the craft, the business, and the culture that built Growing Pains from the ground up.Good PizzZa documents real cannabis culture, the growers, the breeders, the legacy operators, and the stories that do not get told anywhere else.

In this Huberman Lab Essentials episode, my guest is Jocko Willink, a retired U.S. Navy SEAL officer, author and host of the Jocko Podcast. We discuss why discipline, rather than motivation, is the reliable driver of daily action, and how taking action is the most effective way to move through adversity, loss and setbacks. We also discuss how exercise generates energy, the leader's role as a counterweight to team morale, and detachment as a trainable skill for widening perspective and making better decisions under stress.

Almost harvest time in Scotty Real and Dude's grow!Let's go over the 3 easiest ways to feed your marijuana plants

Double Tap - Ep 470 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Foxtrot Mike (Code: WLSISLIFE) Gideon Optics (Code: WLSISLIFE) Rost Martin (Code: WLSISLIFE) Otis Technology (Code: WELIKESHOOTING15) Bowers Group (Code: WLS) Giveaways!! GAW   Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   GOA GOALS Aug 1-2 in Iowa. https://goals.goa.org/ DEAR WLS Question from DustyBob Hey guys, I have been listening long enough to remember when savage would bubba stuff together. Can that happen again? So the real question is what is the best non-AR semi auto rifle chambered in 5.56? Question from Scott H Greetings to the best gun podcast ever. My dad lives in another state and wants to pass down a gun to me. I can bring it back with me after visiting him and deal with the airlines. Have him ship it to an FFL by me. Or I can get a C & R license thru the ATF and he can ship it directly to me because the gun is over 50 years old and has collector value. What would you guys do? Question from AinYourFace This last year I have been playing (poor) with some night vision. Specifically a Sionyx Pro with a helmet mount setup (mono only). I mainly use it walking at night and stalk hunting pigs. I know there are better setups, but my question is more about aiming with night vision. I currently use a rifle mounted IR laser as my point of aim. It works, but is there a better sighting setup or are lasers the way to go when using some type of helmet mounted nods. #SSB #Finding myself agreeing with Jerambe too much these days Question from JoeMama I was a decent pistol shooter out to 25 yards with no issues and consistent. I went to the range after 6 months of no range time and I'm jerking the trigger and my groups have gotten horrible. I can't seem to shake these issues. What would be the best way to shake these bad habits that have popped up? Question from Matt A What's the casts thoughts on the company and model of AmmoSquared? When doing research on ammo, most instructors and even content creators say shoot and try the ammo you plan to use and carry, which I totally agree with. This is why I'm asking my question. With AmmoSquared, they stockpile different manufacturers' ammo for you based upon your selection of the type of ammo you want, such as “practice, practice special, defense, or defense special”, and among the inventory stockpiled for you, you could get a mixture of 124 grain, 115 grain, and some +p boxes of ammo, all from various manufacturers. I get in the situation of the SHTF, any ammo will be used ammo, especially if there were to be an ammo shortage, but still curious about the crew's thoughts because all the ads I've seen for the business make it sound like you pick the ammo you want and they just store it for you. Thanks for the feedback, love the show. Question from non anonymous brave person from oh Do you guys have any recommendations on a good backpack to combine EDC and work? I currently run two separate bags, one is my work bag with files, tablet, work supplies, and one is my murse that has my gun, first aid, phone chargers and whatnot. I would like to consolidate into one bag so I can carry my gun with me and so I don't look like I'm moving out every time I leave my house. My work bag isn't CCW friendly and I don't want to just toss the gun in there and my murse is too small to carry my work shit. So I need to combine the two into one bag that has some sort of concealed carry pocket I can secure the gun as well as hold my tablet and files. Do you have any hands on experience with Eberlestock or Vertx or any other brands in the similar category? I don't want to blindly drop a couple hundred on a bag and it potentially be the wrong one.

Usually Full Auto Friday is just me and the questions. Not this one. JP Dinnell is in the seat — former SEAL, came up through Ramadi, now chief training officer at Echelon Front — and Michael is running the stories. We start where it counts. Whether anything in BUD/S ever matched the field. It didn't. BUD/S is hard. It's also a controlled environment with a safety net. The real cost came later, with the guys who didn't come home. Then Michael started pulling things off the internet. A Texas plea deal that put a child predator back on the street in a day. A paraglider clipped by a Cessna over the Alps. A man in flip-flops trying to kick in a stranger's door. My son stepping up in at a grocery store. JP's daughter waiting around a corner with a bat. A gate agent getting screamed at, and what it takes to step into that. A bank hostage standoff that ended the way those always end. And the Bitcoin I didn't buy at fifty cents. The through-line is simple. Crazy exists. Have a plan. Be capable. Enjoy.
