In tonight's dead letter, Eric, a longtime listener on active duty in the Navy, pulls into Juneau, Alaska for a port call in the summer of 2009 and hikes up the Mount Roberts trail for the view over the harbor. Around eleven in the morning, in full daylight, he watches a perfectly round patch of light — a little bigger than a manhole cover, a shade lighter than the water — glide from boat to boat, slip under the cruise-ship dock, and circle a small float out in the middle of the channel. It never changes shape, never touches anything but the water, and as best he can tell, he's the only one who sees it. Then he hikes all the way down to that dock to find out what it was.REFERENCE LINKSRelated Astonishing Legends EpisodesThe Edgar Cayce Story Part 1The Sallie House – Ghost in the Machine Part 1The Sludge Entity Part 1Background & TopicsUnidentified Submerged Objects (USOs) — WikipediaInvestigation Alien (George Knapp) — NetflixThe "Plasmoids" Paper — Journal of Modern Physics (2024)Foo Fighters (WWII) — WikipediaNikola Tesla's Wardenclyffe Tower — WikipediaLake Pend Oreille Acoustic Research Detachment (U.S. Navy)Mount Roberts Trail, Juneau — Alaska.orgAmerican Ghost Walks: Ketchikan Ghost TourWe're looking for more stories!

Friday July 10th: Department of War drops forty more Pursue files spanning 1948 to last year. Tonight Jeremy and Jake go through all of it.The centerpiece is a 77-year-old transcript that sat classified until last Friday. On February 16th, 1949, Edward Teller, Lincoln La Paz, and the Los Alamos lab director convened a secret meeting about green fireballs streaking silently over their own nuclear installations. By the end, even Teller couldn't explain the horizontal flight path. The lab director closed the meeting admitting it remained unexplained. That meeting created Project Twinkle, a network of observation posts built to catch these things on instruments. It was shut down before it could.Seventy years later: an unidentified object over the Pantex plant near Amarillo, Texas, the country's primary nuclear weapons assembly facility. Radar, trained witnesses, cameras, and video all converging on the same object above a nuclear weapons site with no explanation.Also in the release: a photograph from the space shuttle Columbia, a 28-year Air Force and Navy veteran who saw something unlike anything in his career, and a Harvard astrophysicist revealing his science council has requested 50 additional files the Pentagon still hasn't handed over.Patreon: https://patreon.com/InfiniteRabbitHoleJeremy's Book: https://www.amazon.com/U-F-Elmwood-Cosmic-Puzzle/dp/B0GX1GBMZNYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InfiniteRabbitHolePodcastWebsite: https://InfiniteRabbitHole.com

Native New Yorker Bryan Stern served in both the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy; worked in military intelligence; is a Purple Heart recipient; 9/11 survivor; and a first responder. As a private citizen frustrated with the debacle that was the U.S. pullout from Afghanistan under the Biden administration, Bryan founded Grey Bull Rescue – a team of military vets who donate their time to rescue people caught in the worst countries in the world, and also aid in stateside catastrophes. In this first operation they helped evacuate 117 American citizens left to face the Taliban alone after the military withdrew.Since that first adventure, GBR has conducted over 600 missions around the globe, including in Ukraine. Bryan shares some of his high-octane adventures, and explains how mind over muscle is the way to find a solution to the tightest scrapes, and why Grey Bull is the best, last resource if you're a high-risk hostage or trapped behind enemy lines.Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

The crew is joined by returning guest 2K Kenny, who is back nearly two years after his first appearance on Episode 136. With Damon away, Damo, Aaron, and Kenny begin by discussing the cost of CMC initiation events, “integrity counting” during the PRT, and the technical difference between a Sailor's rate, rating, and paygrade. The conversation also covers the importance of acknowledging people, lessons from suicide-intervention training, and why something as simple as saying hello can carry more weight than we realize. The crew then catches up on everything Kenny has accomplished since his first appearance. He discusses making second class, earning his ESWS qualification, enduring repeated deployment extensions, and turning the realities of sea duty into music that connects with Sailors. Kenny explains how he learned to embrace being called corny, respond to criticism with confidence, and lean further into the creativity that made him stand out. The conversation moves through vintage Navy uniforms, content days, guerrilla marketing, getting recognized around base—and while driving Uber—and the growing community of Sailors creating their own lanes through social media. Kenny also opens up about his family, his evolving relationships with his parents, and the responsibility that came with growing up as the oldest of ten children. He reflects on the leader he wants to become, the sponsor who made his arrival in Hawaii memorable, and the importance of correcting Sailors while still advocating for them. From opening for Trey Songz and growing his streaming audience to removing music that no longer represented him, strengthening his faith, studying harmonies, and pursuing an opportunity to perform at Fleet Week, Kenny shares how his goals have matured without losing the passion that started everything. Along the way, the crew debates the Navy's most respected rates, revisits Love & Basketball, explores the stories behind Kenny's music, and offers a few ideas for where his sound could go next.       Do you have “Do Better” that you want us to review on a future episode?

On this episode of Expanded Perspectives: From the Archives, we revisit our conversation with author, researcher, and hidden history investigator Rick Osmon.Could Roman explorers have reached North America centuries before Christopher Columbus? Rick joins us to examine the evidence, challenge conventional history, and share the research that has led him to believe there may be far more to America's ancient past than most people realize.Before becoming a full-time researcher and author, Rick built an impressive career in engineering, working with defense contractors and later as a civilian engineering specialist for the U.S. Navy. His work focused on advanced radar, night vision, laser systems, and surveillance technologies supporting Special Operations equipment acquisitions.Driven by a lifelong fascination with archaeology, ancient history, geography, cartography, and the unexplained, Rick left government service in 2005 to dedicate himself to researching hidden history. He went on to host popular internet radio shows, including The Oopa Loopa Cafe and Unraveling the Secrets, which became part of the Paranormal Soup Network before evolving into the Soup Media Network.Rick is also the author of several books exploring ancient mysteries, beginning with The Graves of the Golden Bear: Ancient Monuments and Fortresses of the Ohio Valley, published in 2011.Join us as we explore the possibility of Roman voyages to the Americas, the artifacts and historical clues Rick believes point to a forgotten chapter of history, and what it all could mean if the accepted timeline is incomplete.Show Notes:Glimmer Man Book: Cloaked Beings That Move Among UsWant to Share Your Story?

There is a massive push to revitalize American shipyards, but it's not just about the military—it's an urgent effort to combat the threat posed by weapons hidden in the shipping containers of foreign adversaries. With China currently constructing more than 90% of the world's commercial shipping tonnage while the U.S. builds a mere fraction of a percent, lawmakers warn our national security, and global trade lines are at risk. Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young joins to discuss his bipartisan 'Ships for America Act' and how rebuilding a domestic commercial fleet provides critical "flex capacity" to support the Navy and protect our economy. Plus, Republican strategist and co-founder of South and Hill Strategies Colin Reed joins to discuss how the escalating conflict with Iran and disruptions to the global oil supply could upend the traditional midterm election playbook.

„Slovenské ovzdušie je melancholické, spevné a trochu hranaté. Pretvoriť to do výtvarníckej reči je úlohou slovenského umelca.“ Je to jeden z množstva výrokov Mikuláša Galandu, ktorý nám do istej miery približuje umelecký prístup, prácu a svojím spôsobom i život tohto ikonického predstaviteľa slovenskej výtvarnej moderny. Kým Martin Benka prináša do dejín slovenského umenia veľkorysú štylizáciu národného života, ktorá sa nám azda najčastejšie spája s výjavom figurálnych kompozícií v obkľúčení pôsobivých horských scenérií, Mikuláš Galanda pôsobí znateľne intímnejšie, utiahnutejšie a melancholicky. Navyše ani motívy, ktoré si vyberá, zďaleka nevedú k idealizácii slovenského života (aspoň na prvý pohľad). A nie sú to len sociálne ladené výjavy ako V krčme, Chudobná rodina, Na ulici, Vysťahovalec či Žobraví speváci. Ešte aj zbojníci a hôrni chlapci pôsobia u Galandu skôr posmutnelo a zádumčivo. Akoby celú Galandovu tvorbu sprevádzala akási obava, ktorá sa dokonca zračí aj v najznámejších a najnežnejších výjavoch matky s dieťaťom v jeho tzv. ružovom období. S istou dávkou zveličovania a fatalizmu by sme mohli povedať, že to bola možno predtucha predčasnej smrti. Mikuláš Galanda totiž zomrel prakticky na vrchole svojich tvorivých síl vo veku len 43 rokov a zďaleka nevypovedal všetko, čo chcel a mohol. Jeho podpis bol však natoľko výrazný a prelomový, že sa výtvarné umenie na Slovensku k jeho odkazu neraz vracalo a prepožičalo meno výtvarnej skupine galandovcov. V sérii Ikony výtvarného umenia na Slovensku v rámci podcastu Dejiny pokračujeme Mikulášom Galandom. Jaro Valent sa rozpráva s Ninou Gažovičovou - kunsthistoričkou, konateľkou a licitátorkou aukčnej spoločnosti Soga.

On the night of October 11–12, 1942, off Cape Esperance, Guadalcanal, the U.S. Navy won its first surface victory over the Imperial Japanese Navy in the Pacific War — two months after the catastrophic defeat at Savo Island. Rear Admiral Norman Scott's cruiser-destroyer force sank the cruiser Furutaka and the destroyer Fubuki and mortally wounded Japanese Admiral Aritomo Gotō, but the "decisive win" was built on a botched turn, a misread radio call, and a solo torpedo run gone rogue. This episode tells the real story behind the headline — and why the false lessons it taught helped set up disaster at Tassafaronga two months later.

This episode covers a new anthology from Wayne State University Press. Titled Black Summers: Growing Up in the Urban Outdoors, this vibrant collection invites readers to breathe deeply and return to that "carefree" season from an urban perspective. These emerging and award-winning creators of all ages recount the struggles and triumph of staking their claim to public spaces. Ranging from poetry to essay, creative nonfiction to comics, this collection blends nostalgia with struggle and resilience. DESIREE COOPERDesiree Cooper, the book's editor, was born in Japan as a military dependent and spent her adulthood in Detroit. She now lives in coastal Virginia where she is raising her grandchildren. She is a Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist, and among her accolades are a 2017 Midland Authors Award Winner in Adult Fiction, a 2017 Michigan Notable Book, a 2016 Midwest Book Award Finalist, and inclusion in the Poets and Writers 5 Over 50.NANDI COMER Our next author is Nandi Comer, an award-winning poet and essayist. She served as the 2nd Poet Laureate of the state of Michigan 2023-2025, during which time she spearheaded Michigan Words and the video series Michigan in Verse. She is the author of the chapbook American Family: A Syndrome. Her debut poetry collection, Tapping Out, won the 2020 Society of Midland Authors Award and the 2020 Julie Suk Award. Her poems and essays have appeared in American Poets, Callaloo, Crab Orchard Review, and others. She currently serves as the 2025-2026 Jay C. and Ruth Halls Poetry Fellow at the University of Wisconsin's Institute for Creative Writing and co-director of Detroit Lit. ROCHELLE WILSON-ELLISNext we have, Rochelle Wilson-Ellis. She is a U.S. Navy veteran whose journey has been shaped by service, resilience, and care for others. Having served aboard the USS Ross and USS George Washington, Rochelle has carried that same spirit of dedication into every chapter of her life. A loving mother of two and a certified baker and pastry chef, she has also spent years working in healthcare. In 2021, Rochelle was trained as a citizen journalist through the Sarah E. Ray Project, helping preserve the oral histories of those who attended Detroit's legendary Action House in the 1970s and '80s. LILLEN WALLEROur final reader is Detroit native Lillien Waller, a poet and essayist. Her poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and Best New Poets, and, in 2015, she received a Kresge Artist Fellowship in Poetry. In 2023, Lillien was awarded an Arts Writers Grant from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Her essay “Listen Children, All Is Not Lost” appears in the anthology Black Summers: Growing Up in the Urban Outdoors. For more information on the book and the authors, please see the Wayne State University Press website.

Send us Fan MailPeaches sits down with retired Sergeant Major Taamir Ransome, an Army EOD veteran and author of Mind of a Soldier, to talk about EOD, transition, veteran suicide, purpose after service, and what happens when the war is over but the fight is not.Taamir walks through growing up in New Jersey, joining the Army with a GED, starting out in radar repair, attempting SFAS, and eventually finding his way into Explosive Ordnance Disposal. He explains the differences between Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force EOD, what makes the career field so small, and why EOD school is one of the hardest technical schools in the military.The conversation also gets into deployments, working around Special Operations Forces, wild stories from Iraq, and the reality that the military creates people who are calibrated differently than the rest of society.Then the episode turns toward Taamir's book, Mind of a Soldier: 34 Laws for the War After the War. He talks about veteran suicide, transition, moral injury, finding purpose, nonprofits, service dogs, mentorship, and why veterans need to find a new pack and a new mission after leaving the uniform behind.This one is about more than war stories.

“Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah.” (Acts 3:19–20 NLT) The strong faith of two men named George played a key role in shaping the United States of America. The first was George Whitefield, our spiritual founding father. He was a British evangelist who came to our shores to preach the gospel. As a result of his ministry, thousands of colonists came to Christ. It was the first great spiritual awakening in what would become known as the United States of America. Between 1740 and 1742, before the United States was even a nation, the Great Awakening had a remarkable impact in New England. Historians estimate that 25,000 to 50,000 people were added to New England church membership as a result of the revival. With New England’s population only around 300,000 at the time, that means as many as one out of every six people in the region may have been reached in some way by the revival, in which George Whitefield played a leading role. The evangelistic wildfire left in its wake fertile spiritual ground on which the nation could be built. The Christian truths and principles that guided the lives of the new converts found their way into the nation’s DNA. They formed the cornerstone of the United States government. John Adams, founding father and second president of the United States, wrote, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” Our nation was forged in the flames of revival started by George Whitefield. The second George is, of course, George Washington—commander of the Continental Army, first president of the United States, and the father of our country. Washington was always quick to give the glory to God for his victories. He never tired of invoking the role of Providence in the formation of the United States of America. In fact, Washington directed that a special flag be flown by the ships of the U.S. Navy. The flag depicted a tree with branches stretching upward. The message of the flag was an appeal to Heaven, a reminder that the United States needed to call on God for its success and sustenance. Unfortunately, that message got lost along the way. Our nation has drifted away from God and His guidance. The good news is that it’s not too late to go back to Him. The apostle Peter preached to the people of Israel, “Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away. Then times of refreshment will come from the presence of the Lord, and he will again send you Jesus, your appointed Messiah” (Acts 3:19–20 NLT). That same message is needed in our country today. Our nation, which was forged in a spiritual revival, needs to go through those flames again.

Fresh off the birth of his son, Travis opens up about how fatherhood reframes the way he thinks about mortality and protecting the people who depend on you.From there they get into sequence of return risk, including a live demo where shuffling the exact same 30 years of returns swings the outcome from $2.2 million left over to fully broke in 14 years, and why a guaranteed income floor lets you stay on the compounding curve right when it's most powerful.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment03:10 – Re-anchoring on why we plan: it's about the next generation05:25 – Why $500K of SGLI won't set a family up10:15 – What an annuity actually is: the inverse of life insurance14:40 – The power of setting an income floor18:30 – A brief history of annuities, from Rome to the modern pension gap20:15 – When to consider an annuity: the 50 to mid-70s window21:15 – No medical underwriting: annuities are priced on age alone25:15 – The 4% rule and where it falls apart26:05 – Sequence of return risk explained with a live shuffle28:45 – Same data, wildly different outcomes30:50 – Why the Series 65 teaches nothing about insurance or annuities35:00 – Trade-offs exist everywhere, even in a Roth IRA and 401(k)39:50 – Mortality credits: the third form of return45:30 – Payouts are tied to the 10-year Treasury at purchase46:40 – The 1035 exchange: upgrading an old, uncompetitive annuity50:00 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:The order of your returns can matter more than the returns themselves. Take the same 30 years of market data and simply shuffle the sequence, and the outcome swings from leaving $2.2 million behind to running out of money in 14 years.An annuity is the inverse of life insurance, and it's the only chassis that guarantees income for life. Where a $1 million portfolio using the 4% rule cautiously pulls $40,000 a year and still might run dry, that same $1 million can buy a fully guaranteed $77,000 a year that keeps paying as long as you're alive.A guaranteed income floor buys you flexibility everywhere else. Once your baseline needs are covered for life, you no longer have to run conservative with the rest of the portfolio.$500K of group life insurance is not a plan. In a high cost of living area, half a million won't maintain a family's lifestyle, and most people aren't even capped out there.If your parents bought an annuity, get it reviewed. Payouts are locked to the 10-year Treasury yield at the time of purchase, so annuities bought in low-rate years are often badly uncompetitive today.

We created On the Record™ to give voters the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates asking for their vote.Too often, we are asked to make important decisions based on campaign ads, mailers, headlines, and short soundbites. I wanted to create something different: long-form conversations that allow voters to better understand who the candidates are, what they believe, and how they intend to lead.In this episode, I sit down with Mark Hodgson, a candidate for Washington State Representative in Washington's 24th Legislative District.Mark discusses his background as a father, grandfather, Navy combat veteran, 20-year law enforcement officer, Port Angeles City Council member, union member, and community volunteer.He shares how growing up with housing insecurity shaped his views on affordable housing and economic opportunity. He also reflects on working multiple jobs as a young adult, returning to his community after military service, helping his family preserve their home, and why he believes rural communities need stronger representation in Olympia.During our conversation, we discuss:• Affordable housing and housing instability• Living-wage and family-wage jobs• Rural healthcare access• Economic development• Public safety and constitutional rights• Supporting working families• LGBTQIA+ rights• Listening to people with different political perspectives• Compromise, leadership, and decision-making• Accountability to constituents• How he would measure success in officeMark also explains why he believes legislation should reflect the unique needs of rural communities rather than relying on one-size-fits-all policies created primarily for the I-5 corridor.Every candidate on the ballot for this office has been offered the same opportunity to participate in On the Record™.I am not here to tell you who to vote for. My goal is to give you the information you need to listen, compare the candidates, and make your own informed decision.Learn more about Mark Hodgson at MarkHodgson.org.Watch the full conversation, share it with another voter, and let me know what stood out to you.Subscribe at LeadersLeadThePodcast.com#OnTheRecord #MarkHodgson #WashingtonPolitics #24thLegislativeDistrict #Election2026 #PortAngeles #OlympicPeninsula #LeadersLeadPodcast

For pre-meds staring down six figures of debt, the military offers something rare: a fully funded path through medical school built around a mission bigger than the paycheck. Dave sits down with M3 Nick Lebezeder, M3 Lauren VandeKamp, and M2 Lydia Bemnister to walk through the menu of options — among others, the Health Professions Scholarship Program, National Guard and Reserve stipends, USUHS (the military's own medical school in Bethesda, which pays you a second lieutenant's salary while you train), and the Navy's Health Services Collegiate Program. Nick lays out how a three-year HPSP scholarship maps to three years of service after residency, and Lauren walks through the math on longer residencies so nobody signs blind. The commitment is real. So is what it buys: leadership experience from day one, a guaranteed specialty pipeline for the ones who plan ahead, and, for the right person, a sense of purpose civilian medicine doesn't always hand you.

"Pete Hegseth wants a manly military. And he really, really wants you to know how badly he wants a manly military. In his 2024 book, The War on Warriors, Hegseth worried that the military risked becoming “effeminate, and apologetic”; he insisted that what liberals really want is “soft men, and a weak military,” and he scolded “Pentagon pussies” who refuse to stand up for soldiers on the battlefield. As secretary of defense, Hegseth has blocked the promotion of female military officers, removed the first woman to lead the Navy, and ordered a review of women's “effectiveness” in ground-combat roles. He has also used the Defense Department's social-media channels to post a steady stream of tougher-than-thou videos." Mr. Mo'Kelly and David Katz will join us to discuss the top stories of the week.

If you're feeling burnt out, it's not the work you're doing. It's the mission you're on. Today, we're talking to Justin Fanelli, Chief Technology Officer of the Department of the Navy. We discuss why direct communication is fuel rather than friction, how the most driven government workers are often the ones who've already "made it" elsewhere, and why burnout has almost nothing to do with hours worked and everything to do with whether you feel connected to something bigger. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! 

Torrential rain slammed central Texas for the third day in a row, triggering dangerous flash floods in parts of the region. The same storm system also spun up a tornado near San Antonio.

Trump heads to the Army War College in Pennsylvania for Senator Dave McCormick's defense summit, and somehow turns an infrastructure announcement into a masterclass on aircraft carrier catapults. Nearly $10 billion in new defense investment gets unveiled on the spot, submarines, shipyards, missile components, robotics hubs, and a passionate, extended rant about why magnets do not belong on Navy elevators. The room is stacked with heavy hitters, Jamie Dimon, Boeing's CEO, Lockheed, General Dynamics, Blackstone, all taking turns praising the new pace of business at the Pentagon. Between the economic numbers and manufacturing stats, there's a serious policy announcement on commercial truck licensing, a teaser for a "very big" Thursday announcement on election integrity, and a genuinely emotional moment honoring a fallen state trooper. It's part economic victory lap, part military pep rally, and part engineering opinion piece, with a truck cameo that gets compared to the infamous Dukakis tank moment.

First, two proposed SDG&E projects are raising concern from some. Also, the first of four public meetings occurred around deciding the future of the San Pasqual Academy. Then, a new state plan puts a focus on reducing human-caused wildfires. Next, a local Navy admiral's promotion is being held up, we'll tell you why.

In today's episode we sit down with a truly singular guest: Richard J. Perry—entrepreneur, seasoned guitarist, wellness advocate, and the soon‑to‑be‑published author of In Search of the Perfect Guitar: An Unexpected Journey of Awakening (coming fall  2026).Richard's story reads like a modern adventure: from tracking Soviet submarines in the Indian Ocean's convergent zones, to chasing the perfect tone on vintage and boutique guitars, to founding Red Spinach Company, a functional‑food supplement that fuels body and mind. He'll share how the “ping” of a sonar echo first sparked his fascination with vibration, how a single low‑E note can become a meditative anchor in moments of depression, and why flamenco's raw, historical sorrow resonates with him more than any playlist.We'll also dive into:The surprising parallels between sonar pings and guitar notes.The ritual of holding a guitar—how a wood's “aura” can carry the memory of centuries‑old trees and past players.Richard's go‑to “single‑note” practice for emotional reset and why he prefers the silence that follows.A lightning‑round of quick picks—acoustic vs. electric, underrated guitars, the one song that never lets him go, and the instrument that would headline his life's soundtrack.The powerful synergy of nutrition and music, and why feeling good physically amplifies artistic expression.The magic of live performance—the breath‑holding moment right before the first note, and why a small‑venue show can feel more alive than a stadium.If you've ever felt stuck in a mental fog, wondered whether a particular sound could shift your mood, or simply love the quiet mystery of a perfectly struck chord, this conversation is for you.

His perspective is unusual because it combines political communications, defence and energy experience with repeated exposure to Ukrainian military units, command posts, special-forces headquarters, hospitals, humanitarian organisations and defence innovators. ----------LINKS:https://www.thecipherbrief.com/experts/bert-watsonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/bertwatson/https://www.watsonandco.us/team----------ACTIVE CAMPAIGN:We are raising funds for 5 of 15 Vampire DronesSilicon Curtain for Kupiansk Vampires.

Matt Bissonnette grew up in a remote Alaskan village, read every SEAL book he could find, and made it all the way to SEAL Team 6. Fourteen years in the Navy, 13 straight combat deployments, team leader at the command, and one of the operators on the third floor of the bin Laden compound. In 2012, writing as Mark Owen, he published No Easy Day — and spent the next decade paying for it. The DOJ came after him for skipping pre-publication review, took every penny the book made, and left him on a 15-year payment plan. We get into what he actually saw that night in Abbottabad, the audio-recorded debrief, and why the competing narratives don't hold up tactically. Then the aftermath: 10-hour DOJ interrogations, being cut off from his own community, and getting to the point of putting a gun to his head. We also cover the hypocrisy of leadership selling their own stories, the award system, funerals he couldn't attend, and why he's now raising Wagyu cattle and self-publishing his third book, No Easy Way.

In our 43rd episode of This F*cking Guy, Erin and Alyssa dive deep into the past of the Jelly Bean Jack*ss, Ronald Reagan. From his B-list acting days, to "fighting" WWII from Culver City, to being an FBI rat, to his unforgivable  handling of the AIDS crisis, to mucking up foreign affairs for decades to come, this may be one of our most deluded guys yet.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
