New officers should “keep your mouth shut and listen.” Alex Brockdorff’s H-Hour Icebreaker

Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** Live-streamed to H-Hour patrons, this Icebreaker introduces returning guest Alex Brockdorff and runs through patron questions about his Army career and acting work. Alex explains that Sandhurst is designed as a training course—selection should mean candidates can pass—though passing out isn't proof of “excellence,” and new officers should “keep your mouth shut and listen.” He recalls finishing Sandhurst in 2008 and being sent rapidly to Iraq with QRH in Basra, initially stuck on watchkeeper duties until he pushed to go into the city, and later doing a full Afghanistan tour on Herrick 15. Now freelancing in film, he says insecurity drives stress but he's learned to “roll with the punches.” He describes pivoting into acting after watching Rafe Spall direct non-professional actors, and praises Warfare's immersion—real radios and live comms—saying, “Shit's going fully fucking sideways,” and arguing it should be heard loud in Dolby Atmos. Alex Brockdorff Is an actor and former soldier. He joined the Army in 2008 with deployments to both Iraq and Afghanistan - in 2014 he left the military to pursue a career in film. He as appeared in a slate of films, network and streaming television dramas, and most recently he played Mikey in the critically acclaimed WARFARE (A24). https://www.alexbrockdorff.com/

Where Amateurs Play Like Pros! This week on the Golfweek Amateur Tour - The Podcast, we bring you everything that makes the Golfweek Amateur Tour & Senior Amateur Tour special: unforgettable moments, hard-earned victories, and the kind of camaraderie that defines our golf community. We kick things off with Champ Flight standout Ty Taylor from the El Paso Tour, fresh off his third hole-in-one, and maybe the quietest ace in Golfweek Amateur Tour history. No roar. No fireworks. Just a striped six-iron into the wind at Rio Mimbres… and then the realization that it disappeared. Classic. Ty walks us through: His 190-yard par-3 ace in brutal Deming wind Why he almost kept playing the hole-in-one ball (rookie move avoided) How he's stacked up 55 birdies, 4 eagles, and 5 wins in 31 Amateur Golf tournaments Why eliminating “hero shots” is the key to better scores in Competitive Golf Events If you're a high handicapper trying to level up your tournament game, this is gold. The difference between Champ Flight and the rest? It's not magic. It's avoiding triples and playing smart. Then we shift to Hilton Head Island for coverage from the Senior Icebreaker Regional, one of the most relaxed, competitive, and fun stops in our National Championship season. We hear from: Eli Villanueva (Champ Flight) - From 7 back to playoff victory Keith Breazeale (A Flight) - Steady 80-80 consistency under pressure Michael Anderson (B Flight) - Two-time Senior National Champion, doing what he does best David Yi (C Flight) - 88-88 and walks away with the win Butch Novak (D Flight & Tour Director) - Playoff victory and a Firestone plug This is what Amateur golf tournaments are about. Different flights. Different journeys. Same competitive fire. We also get a Myrtle Beach tournament update from Chris Rocha as he preps for a team event and breaks down the strategy behind managing weather, tee times, and team scoring. If you love tournament golf, competitive strategy, and stories from everyday golfers chasing the next great round, this is your golf podcast for everyday golfers. Listen. Compete. Travel. Win.

“The whole Afghanistan campaign for it to have worked would've taken 40, 50, 60 years.” – Bags Simmons H-Hour Icebreaker

Join the H-Hour Patron Community at patreon.com/hkpodcasts ***** In this H-Hour Icebreaker, I welcome back Bags Simmons after roughly 18 months since his last appearance on the show. Answering questions submitted by H-Hour Patrons, Bags explains that the British didn't deploy tanks to Afghanistan, but used heavily protected armoured vehicles like Mastiff/Cougar variants, describing restricted visibility, the need to get out and speak with locals, and the major IED risk posed by predictable routes—especially canals—plus his fear of drowning if a vehicle rolled due to welded front doors and heavy rear exits. He argues the Afghanistan campaign's aims shifted from al-Qaeda to the Taliban, lacked coherent long-term strategy, and misunderstood Afghanistan's tribal “donut” dynamic and the Durand Line, concluding there wasn't a clear “win” and the withdrawal was rushed on a US timeline, leaving allies behind despite strong on-the-ground performance. He also discusses pledging allegiance to the Crown and his views on the Royal Family, praising the Queen's 70-year reign and saying Charles has transitioned well while criticizing controversies around Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, before previewing the full podcast.

Squeaks, Frank, Jon and Thomas cover a packed episode that jumps from dream low-stakes spin-off ideas (God of War politics, Fallout slice-of-life, and cozy Shire chaos) into real-world hype around the Spider-Noir trailer and how Nicolas Cage changes the whole vibe in the best way. From there, the crew breaks down standout PlayStation State of Play reveals, including what they want from a God of War trilogy remake, why Game Freak's new project has people paying attention again, and which upcoming titles actually look worth the time. Then the conversation shifts into a big streaming debate: weekly releases vs binge drops vs the hybrid "first 2–3 episodes, then weekly" model. They dig into what works for mystery box shows like WandaVision and Severance, what falls apart when the writing doesn't match the release strategy, and why some series thrive when fans have time to theory-craft between episodes. The episode wraps with network updates and weekly recommendations, including a Cyclops comic shoutout and a heartfelt nod to Stevie's retirement from Good Mythical Morning after 13 years.

Mystery box, character drama, sitcoms, and action 00:57:19 Network updates: upcoming shows, format shifts, and what's next across the Geek Freaks Network 00:58:19 Recommendations: Cyclops comic spotlight and Stevie's Good Mythical Morning retirement tribute Key Takeaways Big franchises can feel fresh again with smaller stories that focus on everyday life, side characters, and worldbuilding instead of saving the universe. Spider-Noir looks like it's leaning into style and personality, and Nicolas Cage makes it feel like its own thing instead of "another Spider-Man." Prime Video's track record with adaptations is earning trust, even when the company itself is a mixed bag for fans. State of Play talk lands on a simple truth: remakes need to feel rebuilt, not just polished. Game Freak has goodwill to win back, and a new IP might be their best shot to prove they can still deliver quality. Release models matter because writing matters. A weekly show needs episodes that stand on their own, not just pieces of a long movie. Weekly releases fuel theorizing, discussion, and community engagement. Binge releases maximize momentum and completion. The "2–3 episode premiere, then weekly" approach can be the sweet spot when it's planned from the start. Memorable Quotes "I want a Stardew Valley set in the Fallout universe." "Nicolas Cage is not a Spider-Man… Spider-Man is being made into a Nicolas Cage character." "It's not a remaster. It's a remake." "Once we find out what's up with the goats, the show's over." "That's a watercooler moment because everybody was like, wait, what happened?"

As Minnesota faces the brunt of a violent anti-immigrant crackdown, and ICE's cruelty continues to spread nationwide, we are inspired by the solidarity, community, and mutual aid demonstrated by those on the front lines of immigration justice. The WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund distributes funding to organizations working to provide food, housing, rent relief, transportation and healthcare as well as legal support for immigrants, detainees, and their families. The fight for immigration justice is immensely important to us all. Please join us to help raise some money!

For the months of February and March, all proceeds from any purchases made at friendsatthetable.shop will go to the Immigration Law Center of Minnesota, which provides free legal representation to immigrants and their families.

ANNOUNCEMENT: On Sunday the 15th and Monday the 16th, Friends at the Table going to be hosting ICEBREAKER, a two day fundraising marathon on Twitch to raise money for the Women's Foundation of Minnesota's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! Read more here! Welcome to Media Club Plus: a podcast about diving into the media that interests us and the stories that excite us. This season we're watching a selection of M Night Shyamalan movies. This episode we watched Old, and next time we'll be back with our penultimate episode: Knock at the Cabin. You may have heard that Old is about the beach that makes you old. Well, it really is about that! You get to the beach, start getting old, and you don't stop until you die. Many people in live go through getting older, but few as fast as the folks they put on the beach, and all the normal stuff that happens when you get older happens there, and some abnormal stuff too. Featuring Keith Carberry (@KeithJCarberry), Sylvi Bullet (@SYLVIBULLET), Ali Acampora (@Ali-online), Arthur Martinez-Tebbel (@amtebbel) and Andrew Lee Swan (@Swandre3000) Produced by Keith Carberry Music by Jack de Quidt (available at notquitereal.bandcamp.com) Cover Art by by Annie Johnston-Glick (@dancynrew) anniejg.com I sort of wish we talked more about the camera and composition in this movie because it was particularly strong!

Vets Salute VA Nurse Hero. VA Sec Collins' Shameful Statement. Kennedy, Oz & Measles. Flu Season Health Tips. America's ICE Breakers. Allies Furious Worldwide. After the Storm. In this urgent all–new episode of Independent Americans, host Paul Rieckhoff is joined by returning champion Dr. Vin Gupta — Harvard–trained pulmonologist, Air Force Reserve officer, VA ICU doctor and one of America's most trusted medical voices — to break down Trump's escalating war on public health, the VA, and even gun owners themselves. They dig into the murder of Minneapolis VA ICU nurse and veteran caregiver Alex Pretti, what his life and final act of courage mean for nurses, veterans and families nationwide, and how the White House's propaganda machine tried to smear him as a “domestic terrorist” before the truth came out.​ From the flu and measles outbreaks slamming hospitals, to RFK Jr. at HHS, Dr. Oz at CMS, and an EPA that's gutting the Clean Air Act while pretending to “make America healthy again,” Dr. Gupta lays out how this administration is quietly making you and your family less safe — and what you can actually do right now if you're insured, under–insured or have no insurance at all. He explains why VA ICU work is “double service,” why VA nurses like Pretti are unsung heroes of our democracy, and why the VA hospital where Alex worked should bear his name.​ Rieckhoff also rips into VA Secretary Doug Collins' disgraceful response, Trump's new war on gun owners, ICE's spreading abuses, and the chilling implications of a president eager to invoke the Insurrection Act while deploying ICE even to the Winter Olympics. They connect it all to the global fallout from Trump's insults of US allies, the latest from Ukraine and Gaza, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and why California is now working directly with the WHO as a counterweight to DC. And, issue a call to the ⅓ of ICE agents that are veterans.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's independent content for independent Americans. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics, inspiration and hope.
