Podcasts about daily drop

Send us a textStrap in, kids—this episode is a buffet of DoD chaos, spicy geopolitical moves, and “WTF are we even doing?” headlines. Jared unleashes on everything from the sketchiest Air Force One replacement idea ever (thanks, Qatar) to Golden Dome missile pipe dreams and the absolute circus that is Cyber Command's latest identity crisis.We're also sending ICE to Marine bases, cutting 14% of Space Force civilians (brilliant), and relying on $26 million to keep Reserve pilots in the sky. Oh, and if you thought privatizing base lodging was gonna save anyone money—LOL, you're adorable.All this while the Air Force plays catch-up with drone integration, and Netflix somehow makes the Thunderbirds look cost-effective. Welcome to another day in the Pentagon's magical clown tent.

Send us a textIn this extended Daily Drop, Jared unleashes a tactical nuke of sarcasm on the Pentagon's parade of WTF decisions. From billion-dollar contracts imploding to Airmen stuck in retirement limbo, it's clear nobody's steering this defense dumpster fire. Cyber Command wants to be SOCOM now (because that worked so well before), troops can't move because the PCS fairy ran out of money, and SpaceX is somehow our last hope in space. Also: PFAS water, political drama, and Congress failing military families… again.If you like your military updates with a side of rage and real talk, you're in the right TOC.

Send us a textMay 16's Daily Drop is here, and it's a clinic in chaos. Jared dives headfirst into a flaming pile of Air Force mismanagement, with everything from canceled retention bonuses to space-based missile defense initiatives nobody budgeted for.We're talking about the Pentagon quietly prepping to boot transgender service members, the DoD admitting it can't staff enough school counselors, and the Air Force building new ICBM silos because fixing the old ones would just be too easy.Meanwhile, Space Force is trying to juggle in-orbit refueling, satellite sensors, a “Golden Dome,” and stealing 600 Guardsmen — all while Airmen are out here getting ghosted on their bonuses.Oh, and Trump wants to build the “F-55.” Whatever that is.

Send us a textIn today's savage May 15th Daily Drop, Jared delivers a glorious roast of Air Force bureaucracy, tone-deaf budgeting, and defense priorities so backwards you'd think they were developed by a Magic 8 Ball.Retention bonuses? Gone. Your SRB? Vamoosed. But hey, at least the Pentagon hired a guy from Uber to help us with hypersonics and laser beams, right?From billion-dollar drone dogfights to literal ducks taking down million-dollar F-16s (no, seriously), this episode is a spicy mix of fiscal disaster, misplaced priorities, and hot takes on why the F-47 probably won't fly before your next retirement ceremony.We hit Pentagon hotline failures (you had one job), Space Force begging for data funds, and some spicy chatter about China's jets being slightly better than India's flying museum pieces. Also, there's a plot to bomb an Army base using drones and Molotovs… because of course there is.If you love chaos, caffeine, and calling out DoD idiocy—this one's for you.

Send us a textBuckle up, patriots. In this episode of Ones Ready, Jared delivers your May 14th intel drop with a healthy dose of snark, sarcasm, and sheer disbelief. From raiding facility repair budgets to secure the border (bye-bye, AC in Vegas) to an AI tool that's definitely not Ultron (yet), we hit the military's greatest hits of misplaced priorities and bureaucratic buffoonery.We cover the Pentagon's latest budgeting antics, DoD AI ambitions (because what could go wrong?), a suspiciously optimistic F-47 timeline, and a childcare crisis that screams, "We love our troops—just not their kids." Add in a Space Force budget tantrum, India's surgical flex on Pakistan, and a friendly reminder that PFAS is still turning your water into poison.You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll probably question your enlistment contract.

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready daily drop is live, chaotic, and absolutely unfiltered. Peaches is back with the May 13th Pentagon dumpster fire, bringing you face-to-face with the DoD's awkward puberty phase—complete with budget panic, stop-loss PTSD flashbacks, anti-satellite power moves, and the government realizing maybe it should let junior officers make some decisions. Also: cannon fodder for Cannon AFB (again), HIMARS over Taiwan, and a real-life Olympian joining the Air Force after drowning (and surviving). You literally can't make this up.Still sleeping on the Operator Training Summit? Four slots left. You don't want to be the one DM'ing after it's full, begging for forgiveness. Get in or get smoked.

Send us a textBuckle up. In this flaming hot Ones Ready drop, Peaches unloads on the latest Air Force news like it's target practice. From the Pentagon's DEI purge to putting cruise missiles on MQ-9s (because why not?), we're diving deep into the bureaucratic chaos of the DoD's week. We question why the hell an OA-1K would carry a cruise missile, throw shade at “aspirational” tech projects, and get uncomfortably honest about childcare, base closures, and how many damn generals are collecting paychecks. Also, our only search and rescue dog retires, and it gets emotional. Pour one out for Callie.Meanwhile, only four slots remain for the Operator Training Summit—12 hours in the pool, mask clearing, buddy breathing, underwater misery and mentorship with the Ones Ready crew. Don't miss your shot to suffer with a purpose in San Diego this June.

Send us a textIn today's Daily Drop, Peaches wades through 20+ pages of Pentagon memos so you don't have to—and the headlines are as wild as you'd expect. From the DoD accelerating AI and electronic warfare for SOF teams (because robot war is here), to the Pentagon trying to fire every transgender troop in 30 days (seriously), it's another day in America's defense soap opera.Also: the Space Force is debating whether orbital refueling is even worth it, even though it sounds like the coolest sci-fi thing ever; the B-52 radar upgrade blows past budget (shocker); and the Air Force finally admits the CV-22 Osprey might never hit full capability again (gasp). And yes, the crew debates which generation would actually win in an all-out war cage match—Gen X or the Greatest Generation?

Send us a textWelcome to the May 8th Daily Drop, where Peaches breaks down another round of Pentagon chaos with his signature sarcasm. On today's menu: the DoD admits it probably won't pass an audit… for at least another 3 years (LOL), military daycares struggle with child abuse reporting (yikes), and the Pentagon's cyber warriors are apparently fighting cartels with keyboards at the border (sure, why not?).Meanwhile, the KC-46 Pegasus finally clears its cracked ribs, the F-15EX basing drama gets messier, and SOCOM's new aircraft is already asking for upgrades—less than a year in. Over in Space Force? They're making a planetarium movie to convince you they're not just a meme, while also quietly building a new orbital warfare “product line.” Oh, and North Korea? Still launching missiles. No big deal.

Send us a textIn today's Daily Drop, Jared serves up the Pentagon's latest budget clowns and bureaucratic “wins” with his usual spicy commentary. First up: the Defense Secretary is finally chopping some four-star generals—because apparently you don't need that many bosses to lose wars. Meanwhile, the Air Force is overhauling basic training again (spoiler: it might actually get hard), Space Force is still figuring out who's supposed to do what, and DoD firefighters are overworked and underpaid (but hey, thanks for showing up!).Also on deck: the U.S. tests a reusable hypersonic missile (finally catching up to China), Tricare's paperwork hell drags on, and Congress realizes that refurbishing 60-year-old missile silos is maybe not the best idea. Oh—and Space Force might just give up on satellite refueling before it even starts because… math?

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is packed tighter than the Pentagon's missing budget. Jared breaks down how the DoD is basically playing Jenga with defense funding, while the Air Force quietly raids the Boneyard for junkyard F-16s to prop up Ukraine's air force. Meanwhile, the Space Force is out here casually “dogfighting” Chinese satellites in orbit and looking for AI to figure out where their satellites even are.Oh, and we've got a guy in a literal jetpack doing an untethered spacewalk (because apparently the 80s were WILD), the Army making a Space Ops MOS (because soldiers apparently needed another badge), and the Pentagon's latest brainstorm: drone-killing tech that's safe for civilians. Sure, buddy.Also: Israel's airport just got smoked by a Houthi missile despite US and Israeli missile defenses. And Russia? Yeah, Russia's dusting off its NATO war plans. Totally chill.

Send us a textWelcome to the May 2nd Daily Drop, where Jared breaks down the absolute fever dream that is today's Air Force memo—everything from piano-burning ceremonies to Space Force launching a special operations element (yes, you read that right). This episode's a rollercoaster through military bureaucracy, geopolitical chaos, and some straight-up “wait… what?” moments.We're talking about 8,000 troops at the southern border, the Air Force testing robo-wingmen, Japan mad about a B-1 bomber blocking their runway, and Guam getting overrun by 25,000 stray dogs (no, seriously). Also, shoutout to the Air Force for helping control said dogs… because readiness, I guess?Throw in canceled Iran nuclear talks, a new missile shield with a suspiciously biblical name (“Golden Dome”), and a nominee for Undersecretary getting roasted for telling the truth—and you've got an episode that proves the Pentagon never sleeps… but maybe should.

Send us a textIn today's Daily Drop, Jared pulls no punches while breaking down the latest military circus—from AFN killing off its podcasts (wait, they had podcasts?) to the Air Force Academy gutting its own rocket science faculty because “budget.” And just when you thought it couldn't get weirder: Space Force is dropping a documentary… and no, it's not sci-fi.We've got F-35 inventory fraud ($11 billion missing? Casual.), Travis AFB potentially doubling as an immigration detention center (because why not?), and the Air Force cutting family days because “readiness.” Oh, and the Pentagon still can't pass an audit. But sure, let's launch more documentaries instead of fixing jets.Tune in for a raw, snarky breakdown of the memo that hits generals' inboxes but never gets real talk—until now. And yeah, you're gonna want to sit down for this one.

Send us a textIn this unapologetically chaotic daily drop, Jared rolls through everything from drones dropping grenades to pedos in court and AI that's apparently too complex for senior leadership to Google. Welcome to the April 30th edition of the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the actual DoD news that gets sent to generals...and then we make fun of it.From failed Firefly launches to tribal warfare over F-15EX seating arrangements, this episode is basically the Pentagon's group chat with better commentary. Also, find out which documentary produced by the Obamas might make you respect the Thunderbirds (but probably won't), and why the “Women, Peace, and Security” program was killed for being “woke,” even though it came from the Trump administration. Yeah, we're confused too.Stick around for:A take on why AI still scares generals more than enlisted TikToksA borderline unhinged breakdown of why drone swarms are everyone's problemWhether dropping 500lb bombs equals dead livestock in Houthi press releasesThoughts on Thunderbirds, martial law, and why fake rifles in basic are weak sauceAnd yes—don't forget to like, subscribe, comment, check out 18AlphaFitness, and hit up the Ones Ready merch store. This podcast is for operators, future operators, and the people wondering why military budgeting is run like a reality show.

Send us a textWelcome to the April 29th Ones Ready Daily Drop — where Jared sifts through the bureaucratic swamp of DoD updates and gives you the brutally honest download your commander definitely won't.From a proposed Pentagon rebrand that sounds like it came straight from a Call of Duty menu (“War Department,” anyone?) to a grandma trying to sue the Navy to become a SEAL (yep, that's real), this one has it all.We're also unpacking the dumpster fire that is the commissary system ("now with modern grocery practices!" in 2025... wow), the murky legal dumpster of the Feres Doctrine, and why half of the Air Force lies to doctors just to stay on flight status. Add a side of Space Force launches, mental health stigma, Ukraine-Russia peace rumors, and a DUI case that'll punch you in the gut.All killer, no filler — unless you count the commissary aisle.

Send us a textWelcome 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 tests named "Dark Eagle," politicians who aren't even worth the dog poop on your boot, and the grim reality of post-GWOT cancer risks. Meanwhile, Microsoft Flight Simulator is somehow making command news because... priorities, right?If you like your news unfiltered, slightly unhinged, and 100% funnier than the briefing you'll get from your crusty commander — welcome home.

Send us a textWelcome 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 Pentagon green room into Sephora), and wonder why America still thinks tanks are cooler than satellites. Also: a reality check on why Uber is cheaper than ruining lives with a DUI.Buckle up. This one's loaded with bad decisions, hot takes, and a gentle reminder that if you can't save someone from drowning, maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't be rocking that uniform.

Send us a textJared 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.In this episode: ☢️ Nuclear microreactors are coming to Alaska (yes, seriously) 

Send us a textToday's Daily Drop is brought to you by: chaos. Jared's on one, the Public Affairs Office is finally back in the saddle, and we're neck-deep in Pentagon leaks, Guard drama, Space Force growing pains, and morale breakdowns at the Air Force Academy.In this episode: 

Today on our Midweek Mini, we're diving into some seriously sad news — the beloved AMEX to Alaska Airlines transfer loophole (aka our secret weapon for booking awesome American Airlines flights) might be coming to an end. Word on the street is that this workaround is on its last legs, and we're breaking down what that could mean for our points strategy.Should we be moving points speculatively to lock in sweet redemptions while we still can? We've got thoughts — and a few tips to help you navigate what's next.Then, to cheer things up, we're capping off the episode with a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: our Summer Roadtrip Series is coming to your earbuds soon!

Send us a textPublic Affairs ghosted us, so Jared took matters into his own hands and scraped the internet like a clearance-free, caffeine-fueled analyst. What did he find? Chaos. Leaks. 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.Also: 

Send us a textWelcome to another unfiltered Ones Ready daily drop, where we scan the Pentagon's inbox so you don't have to. Today's episode is jammed with everything from micro nuclear reactors to the Space Command slap fight, and we even toss in some childcare policy chaos—because why not?Jared breaks down what the Air Force and Space Force are actually up to (spoiler: some of it's impressive, some of it's… less so). Whether it's China's hypersonic flexing, Germany's Starlink breakup, or another case of “Oops, we deleted history” with the Thunderbirds' first female pilot, it's all here. Oh, and did we mention a rocket plant exploded? That happened too.This one's for the curious, the cynical, and everyone wondering what the hell is going on at the Air Force Academy.

Send us a textIn today's cerebral Daily Ops Brief, Peaches breaks down the Defense Department's latest dumpster fire: whether to park Space Command's shiny new paradigm shift in Colorado or Alabama. Also, some genius of the Military Industrial Complex just texted the entire Internet our plans for Houthi rebels. Throw in DEI purges, child care collapse, and a disgraced AFSOC leader, and you've got a government that's firing on no cylinders.We cover real estate speculation, government hiring freezes that move slower than molasses in formation, and why Canada's aircraft shopping spree might be a Costco mistake.

This week on our Midweek Mini episode, we're sharing a truly chilling cautionary tale. One of our listeners recently experienced something that left us completely stunned — a major lesson in what can go wrong when adding someone as an authorized user.We've honestly never heard of a situation quite like this before. It's eye-opening, a little scary, and definitely something anyone in the points and miles world needs to hear.We hope this story helps you better understand the risks involved, how to protect yourself, and how to make smarter decisions as you build your strategy in this hobby.Facebook Group | Support the Show: Buy Us A CoffeeFind Us On InstagramMary Ellen | JoMentioned in this EpisodeCredit Score EpisodeFreezing Your Credit EpisodeAffiliate Links30% off the CardPointers subscription!Mary Ellen's Chase Sapphire Preferred LinkJo's Chase Sapphire Preferred LinkSign up for the Daily Drop NewsletterCredit Card Affiliate LinksThe above link includes referrals for almost all travel cards (AMEX, CapitalOne, co-branded cards)If you need Chase links please reach out!

Send us a textIn this delightfully grim and accidentally informative Daily Ops Brief, Peaches breaks down the Pentagon's latest hits—from promoting a retired Guard general (cue the four-star meltdowns) to “oops-we-erased-history” DEI compliance, all while dunking on the commissary's soggy sandwiches and the illusion of DoD fiscal responsibility.If you've ever wondered how to:Launch rockets on a budgetJustify skipping base grocery runsNavigate forced cultural purges via AIOr survive Space Force acronyms without rage-quitting the internet ...this one's for you.Also, you'll never look at sushi the same again. And that's a promise.

Send us a textPeaches' back with the Ones Ready Daily Drop, serving up the Department of the Air Force's juiciest news with a side of zero-BS commentary that'll make bureaucrats cry. From SpaceX dunking on ULA to become the Space Force's launch daddy, to the Pentagon slashing IT contracts like a bad breakup, this episode is a rollercoaster of military shake-ups. Oh, and let's not forget General Dan Cain's 9/11 gut-check or the Air Force Academy's faculty cuts that scream “penny-pinching gone wrong.” Peaches doesn't hold back, calling out the CV-22's gearbox saga and questioning the Insurrection Act's J6 vibes. It's a snarky, no-filter dive into what's shaking the DoD, with enough shade to keep you smirking.  Key Takeaways:  SpaceX is eating ULA's lunch, snagging Space Force launch contracts while dropping NRO payloads like it's no big deal.  The Pentagon's saving $4.2B by axing IT deals, but Jared's not sold on slashing budgets without a brain.  General Dan Cain's confirmed as Joint Chiefs chair—here's hoping he fixes the acquisition mess before it implodes.  The CV-22 gearbox fix is coming, but why'd it take crashes to figure out it's been janky forever?  Insurrection Act talk has Jared side-eyeing hard—J6 wasn't an “insurrection,” so let's not give the DoD a blank check to play cop.Call-to-Actions:Yo, patriots, let's move! Smash that like button like it's a CV-22 gearbox test. Subscribe to keep up with Jared's daily truth bombs. Drop a comment—what's the dumbest DoD cut you've heard about?

Send us a textBudget cuts disguised as “strategy.” Civilian workforce hollowed out while nobody's watching. Quiet U.S. deployments, Frankenjets getting the spotlight like it's breaking news, and the Pentagon resurrecting a 2019 Wuhan COVID report...You're not crazy—this is just the new normal.Peaches dives deep into the week's military madness, pulling no punches and dropping the kind of hot takes that make PAOs sweat. This episode isn't about shock value—it's about confirming your suspicions with a healthy dose of sarcasm, insider baseball, and some good ol' bunker energy.If you thought the dysfunction was accidental, think again.

Send us a textToday's Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast.We've got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over a vaccine—because yeah, that's how leadership works now. Oh, and Space Force might finally get to move to Huntsville, so go buy some land before another general does.From Air Force “Frankenjets” stitched together in a garage like military Frankenstein, to “mil-spec” gear that barely meets minimum standards, to ISR flights over the U.S.-Mexico border triggering cartel drone wars—this drop is full of “wait, what?” energy.

Send us a textIn today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he's coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one's got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rants, and even a shoutout to F-15Es babysitting the Pacific while we wait for the F-15EXs to show up fashionably late.Oh, and that $2.1 TRILLION F-35 program? Apparently, it's just a long-term payment plan that spans 100 years. You know, like student loans—but with jet engines.China's “J-36” makes an appearance, but Jared's not buying the hype. After all, when 80% of your military tech is duct-taped IP theft, maybe don't flex so hard.And if Congress can't pass a damn budget, maybe we should shut it all down and hard reset this clown show.You didn't ask for this dose of snark, sarcasm, and space-fueled doomscrolling—but here it is.

We are absolutely thrilled and incredibly humbled to hit this major podcasting milestone, and we couldn't have done it without YOU—our amazing, ever-growing community. Seriously, we wouldn't be here without your support, and we are SO grateful to each and every one of you.

Send us a textWelcome to your daily dose of unfiltered chaos, where Peaches breaks down the news like a sledgehammer breaks through PR-approved nonsense. This ain't your polished AFN brief—this is the real rundown, straight from the Ones Ready bunker. Spoiler: if you love taxpayer-funded crop dusters, British police overreach, or beard policies held together by ETP duct tape—you're in for a treat.From the Panama Canal to Star Wars-era missile defense, the DEI purge of Maya Angelou, and the ongoing saga of “Fat Tony” Bauerfein, Peaches' on one today. We're talking about $2B aircraft that couldn't win a dogfight with a Pelican, the kind of “malicious compliance” that gets classics deleted from Navy libraries, and how shadow banning is the new way to say “you're winning.”

Send us a textIt's April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes.Today's drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn't real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013).Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is begging for a bigger allowance, and a fired general's name is blasted across the DoD like a bad Yelp review. Add in NATO drama, orbital warfare threats, and a bunch of space startups flexing on legacy contractors—and you've got yourself a fully loaded episode of “what the hell are we doing?”

Send us a textIt's April 3rd and Peaches is back with a fresh pile of Air Force, Space Force, and “what are we even doing anymore?” news.From commanders whining about drone threats and bureaucrats pushing Zero Trust Architecture™ (whatever that means), to Ukraine intel shifts, grounded pregnant pilots, and six B-2 bombers pulling up to the Red Sea like it's a boss level—this Daily Drop has it all.Oh, and in case you missed it: the DoD is still trying to lay off people with pay, we're throwing F-35s into the Middle East blender, and China is officially the “leaked” top threat—because apparently someone needed that in writing.

Send us a textOn this episode of the Ones Ready Daily Drop, Peaches dives into the swirling madness of global defense headlines and calls out the bureaucratic circus behind the scenes.From satellite refueling ops and simulated dogfights in space, to fentanyl diplomacy and generals crying over spectrum auctions, it's all here. Plus, the Air Force is giving away F-15s and leaving Indo-PACOM hanging until 2026. Oh, and U.S. government officials are still using Gmail for “sensitive” talks. What year is it?Meanwhile, Canada is mad about F-35s, the Philippines just got a $5.6B fighter jet hookup, and some dudes in Congress want to go full cartel-hunting mode with airstrikes.Just another Tuesday. Buckle up.

In this week's midweek mini episode, we're diving into a newer and often overlooked benefit of the Chase Sapphire Preferred credit card—Door Dash's DashPass. While this incredible perk might seem complicated at first, many cardholders are leaving money on the table by not fully utilizing it. If you're using your benefit monthly, this card could actually be a money maker for you!

Send us a textIt's April 1st, and no—this isn't an April Fools joke.
