Send us a textLet's get one thing straight—Charlie Faint isn't just an intel officer. He's the intel officer that made it through JSOC, the 160th, and now West Point without once becoming a PowerPoint nerd with security clearance delusions. In this episode, we dig into his warrior-scholar journey—from nearly drowning in a flight suit during selection to launching the Havoc Journal and mentoring cadets who think Platoon is a recruiting video.We cover everything: JSOC mythos, combat intel screw-ups, the Rangers' OPSEC paranoia, mentoring Gen Z cadets with TikTok attention spans, and what happens when your daughter accidentally drops a no-strike target's name over a monitored call. You'll laugh. You'll learn. You'll probably get flagged by the NSA.
New horror subclasses just dropped, and we're here to reanimate them, roast them, and regret reading the action economy aloud. Support our friends at DungeonFlow, because your dungeon shouldn't look like it was sketched during a Zoom call. Unearthed Arcana: Horror Subclasses Show Notes In this episode, the RPGBOT crew proves that horror isn't just for the subclasses—it's also in trying to sync microphones. After wrestling with some haunted audio gremlins, the hosts dive headfirst into the latest Unearthed Arcana drop from Wizards of the Coast, which brings a trio of spooky new subclass options to the D&D table. First up: the Artificer Reanimator, which asks the important question, “What if your sidekick was a science experiment?” With mechanics that feel like equal parts Frankenstein and Excel spreadsheet, the gang unpacks the subclass's vibes, power level, and general corpse-hugging potential. Next, they dig into the Hollow Warden Ranger, a subclass so reliant on Hunter's Mark that it might as well come with a branded tattoo. Spoiler: there's one way to build it, and WotC really wants you to take that path. The group debates its narrow design, interesting healing mechanics, and whether you can actually play it without needing a second concentration slot stapled to your forehead. Then it's time for a séance with the Grave Domain Cleric and College of Spirits Bard—both bearing mechanical changes that sparked nostalgia, mild rage, and Bardic action economy debates worthy of a dissertation. Turns out when you nerf old faves, the ghosts of playtesters past come back to haunt you. The discussion also wanders into Ravenloft's LaMortia, Van Richten's Guide, and the tragic identity crisis of the Hexblade Warlock, who still isn't quite sure what they're supposed to be when they grow up. With a healthy dose of snark, love, and grief over lost subclass features, the crew gives their full take on what works, what doesn't, and what still smells faintly of necromantic glue. Key Takeaways The real horror was the audio levels we fixed along the way. The Artificer Reanimator is what happens when a necromancer raids Home Depot. Reanimator gameplay is cool and crunchy—but don't ask how it stacks up next to Necromancers unless you want a debate. Ranger's Hollow Warden is basically "Concentration: The Subclass." There is exactly one way to build it—and if you deviate, your damage goes to a farm upstate. Players are not thrilled about the subclass being chained to Hunter's Mark. Healing-through-hitting is a new mechanic that kind of slaps, literally. New auras = new damage toys. But still… it's all wrapped around Hunter's Mark like clingfilm. Grave Cleric and College of Spirits Bard have been redesigned, and not everyone's happy about their new wardrobe. The action economy is still Bard's greatest horror story. Hexblade Warlock is having a full-blown identity crisis and might need a long rest… or therapy. Undead Warlock is both buffed and nerfed, which is somehow the most D&D thing imaginable. Ravenloft still slaps. LaMortia is creepy, cold, and full of subclass inspiration. Player feedback is a literal mechanic now—give it, or don't complain when your subclass becomes unrecognizable. Game design needs to stop making subclasses feel like assembly instructions from IKEA. Weapon Mastery and auras may help salvage narrow builds, but only just. Multiclassing into Nature Cleric can make your Ranger feel like it got invited to the cool kids' table.

With all the Bryce Harper and Spencer Strider drama it's easy to forget the solid outing of Ranger Suarez. Pitching a shutout in 6 innings and only allowing 4 total hits! But as the Phillies continue to have more and more starting pitchers there as impact players where does that leave Suarez who is an impending free agent at season's end?

Talk Back to MeBoth Army Rangers and Special Forces call back to Robert Rogers in their lineage. Today, the missions of the Green Beret and the Tan Beret are vastly different, so who is right? Zach Masek joins the show again to go deep into the history of Robert Rogers starting with his rise to fame and his fall from grace. If you ask the soldiers of fortune, you'll find out they don't really do it for the money. This common thread was reflected in the life and tragedy of Robert Rogers. The man who is credited as being the founder of modern special operations set the mold in more ways than one, whether in standardization, or the sad but common trajectory of the special operations veteran without a war to fight.

In this episode of the podcast, leadership strategist Alan is joined by Brandon Young—Army Ranger veteran, leadership expert, and co-founder of Applied Leadership Partners. Together, they explore how leaders can develop the mindset and skill set to thrive, not just survive, through seasons of high pressure, deep uncertainty, and prolonged adversity. Brandon brings over 25 years of frontline leadership experience, from elite military operations to scaling nonprofits and navigating complex corporate restructures. This isn't a theoretical conversation—it's a grounded, real-world exploration of how mission-focused leaders can build perseverance, resist burnout, and lead with clarity in unpredictable environments. Topics Covered: Brandon's formative years in the Army and how special operations shaped his leadership foundation The difference between endurance and perseverance—and why the latter is essential for modern leaders Why leaders are facing “justification fatigue” and how to build speed to trust using the C.A.R.E. model (Candor, Authenticity, Reliability, Empathy) How to counter the loneliness of leadership through shared emotional load and intentional relational rhythms Strategic pauses vs. false finish lines: how tactical rest can save your mission The five pillars of perseverance: Change, Uncertainty, Acceptance, Choice, and Growth Why clarity—not certainty—is the real antidote to fear-based decision-making How to lead others through ambiguity using frameworks drawn from combat-tested leadership models Practical tips for shrinking your world to reclaim agency and make wise decisions under pressure Key Takeaways: Leadership doesn't have to be lonely—but it does have to be intentional. False finish lines will break your team. Build tactical halts into your rhythm. Clarity creates agency. Shrink your focus, extend your vision. Rest isn't quitting—it's preparation for longevity in mission-critical environments. The mission is greater than the moment. Don't mistake pressure for purpose. About the Guest: Brandon Young is a former US Army Ranger with four combat rotations to Afghanistan. He has spent over 25 years building and leading teams in the military special operations, corporate healthcare, and nonprofit sectors.

Talk Back to MeThe Flux Defense Raider has been on the scene for a few years now. This Flux Raider review is less about the Chassis alone, and more about how, with the right parts and a little bit of garage engineering, one can make the tool sing. Is it worth the attention or is there more to it than meets the eye? The Flux Raider has garnered attention, and for good reason: it challenges the status quo. Still, one might need to make a few adjustments to hone the platform into what they need. This build includes parts from SIG SAUER, Lead & Steel, Reptilia, Obsidian Arms, RovyVon, and More.

Toni Westland joined the federal workforce as a ranger with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers giving lock and dam tours on the Mississippi River. She then had a stint in north Georgia at Lake Lanier, then moved on to Lake Okeechobee and then Manatee Park in East Fort Myers. At some point she had vacationed on Sanibel Island so knew she loved the J.N. “Ding” Darling Wildlife Refuge, so when the opportunity arose in 2002 for her to join their team as an education specialist, she jumped on it and has been at Ding Darling ever since. Now, she's taking an early retirement as part of the federal government's downsizing DOGE efforts.

Talk Back to MeThe acronym TTP refers to Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures. While these terms are most at home in military situations, we're seeing more than just soldiers implement them. In this episode we break down the definition of tactics, and take a look at the Siege of the 3rd Precinct in Minneapolis back in 2020 to identify the TTPs of anarchist groups present at the time. What about Citizens? What does the Second Amendment concern itself about Tactics?

Talk Back to MeBoth Rangers and Green Berets point to Robert Rogers as a figurehead of their history. But in today's conflicts, they perform considerably different roles. Where the current Ranger Battalion focuses on direct action, Green Berets point to Unconventional Warfare as their primary task. Zach Masek of the Dead Warrior Society, a Green Beret Veteran and Columbia graduate draws out misconceptions that prevail to this day about the history of special operations, Robert Rogers himself, and the Spartans. This sets the stage for his critique of the Green Beret mission, and how it claims a history of Unconventional Warfare, even when they rarely, if ever, participate in it.

Some people survive disruption; Patrick Leddin reverse‑engineers it for sport. Now he's teamed with the world's best‑selling author, James Patterson, to turn chaos into a step‑by‑step field manual. In this episode of The Courageous Podcast, Patrick explains to Ryan how a college dropout became a Ranger, a CEO, and a Vanderbilt professor. He explains why he quit tenure to write Disrupt Everything with James Patterson, and how hundreds of interviews showed him that disruption is raw material, not bad luck. Patrick shares the four checkpoints that steer any shake‑up toward progress, plus the “game‑on” mindset that swaps anxiety for motion. From family pivots to global crises, Patrick shows how to turn the next jolt into a straighter path to purpose.

Ranger Suarez made his 2025 season debut for the Philadelphia Phillies, but took the loss after giving up 7 runs to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the series finale at Citizens Bank Park yesterday. Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper homered for the Phillies offense, but it wasn't enough to overcome the three runs allowed by the bullpen in the top of the 10th inning. Up next, it's a three game series with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Our heroes have taken bad voice potions and are going about their days! Quinny (Tyler Hewitt, @Tyler_Hewitt) had a very challenging negotiation with wrestling promoters, Butthole (Ryan LaPlante, @theryanlaplante) is taking Will on a tour of Assguardian careers, and Juniper (Laura Hamstra, @lauraehamstra) visited Krendan and planned their shared address to the Hall of Heroes. What could possibly go wrong for those two addressing a raucous crowd? Also featuring our awesome DM Tom McGee (@mcgeetd).

Go to www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Stanley McChrystal is a retired four-star general. Stan is the former commander of the nation's premier military counter-terrorism force, Joint Special Operations Command (also known as JSOC). His command included more than 150,000 troops from 45 allied countries. Since he retired from the Army, Stan has written multiple best-selling books including, Team of Teams, and most recently, On Character. The most crucial discipline is to think for yourself. To a sad degree, we're lazy. People comment on things they haven't watched or read, but have seen comments by others who align with their political party. They aren't thinking for themselves (this is why it's almost impossible to align completely with one political party for me). If you find yourself saying “I just do” or “that's what I heard,” that's not thinking. Being Obsessed – “I am convinced that few truly great achievements are reached by individuals with an impressive work-life balance, and the price of greatness, in a word, is great. In the end, I'm an advocate for obsession." The Ranger Effect – The value of unwavering standards.Created near the end of Vietnam when the Army had lowered its standards. They created 2 units of Rangers to raise the standard. It permeated the entire Army. How does a leader do this in Corporate America? Clearly establish expectations. You cannot have a “say-do” gap. The leader must demonstrate the values on a constant basis. BE what you want. Discipline to hold people accountable. “My major takeaway at almost 70 years old is conclusive. I wish I'd thought more, been more contemplative about my convictions, and been more deliberate about the person I sought to be.” Stan's mom — she died on New Year's Day 1971 at age 45. Stan was 16. Had 6 kids. Mary Bright McChrystal. Writes about her in the civil rights chapter. “I accept no belief or claim to truth automatically or unconditionally.” White Water Rafting – When the subject of America's involvement in Afghanistan arises, Stan is frequently asked, what he might do differently if given the chance to do it all over again. Answer: “Go white water rafting.” In Patient Pursuit of Greatness – In the spring of 2012, Stan was teaching a leadership class at Yale. That's when he met their football coach, Tony Reno: “Not many things materially affect my trajectory. But this time was different. What was different? Coach Reno.” Choosing to Lead – Leadership is not a title or position. It's a choice. “Embrace the suck” – “Why suck a little, when you can suck a lot?” Eat one meal a day. It's built on being undisciplined with food. If you only eat dinner, you can eat a lot for that one meal. Self-Discipline - Most important attribute for a leader. Wife Annie - Dependent on her. Kind, thoughtful, caring. Life/Career Advice: Have the discipline to decide want you want to be. Be intentional. LISTEN: Don't just talk. Be respectful. Don't be afraid to fail. Try it, get back up. Try again.
People living and working in remote areas often encounter things far creepier than just silence. These are real-life stories of unsettling encounters, from faces at the window to gruesome discoveries deep in the woods.Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version of #WeirdDarkness: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicate*** PRINTABLE PDF For This Episode's Word Search Game: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/rp3hkwtcDISCLAIMER: Ads heard during the podcast that are not in my voice are placed by third party agencies outside of my control and should not imply an endorsement by Weird Darkness or myself. *** Stories and content in Weird Darkness can be disturbing for some listeners and intended for mature audiences only. Parental discretion is strongly advised.IN THIS EPISODE: People who live and work in remote areas know that sometimes too much quiet can make your mind race. However, some experiences stick with people long after they occur because of the degree of creepiness. On Reddit, plenty of people who live in rural areas or make their livelihood there, share their scary stories for the rest of us to freak out over. We know that often strange people linger around woods, parks, and other desolate areas. And we have all heard plenty of the kind of creepy stories that backpackers experience. However, in this episode, the stories are more than a little unpleasant, because the people who suffered them weren't just out and about anywhere; they were at their homes, or doing their jobs. Imagine living in the woods, and looking up from your bathtub to see a face looking back at you. Or imagine you are working as a forest ranger and come across a thumb nailed to a tree. Tonight I will share some of the terrifying real-life stories, stories that are the stuff of nightmares.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate and Only Accurate For the Commercial Version)…00:00:00.000 = Lead-In00:01:39.734 = Show Open00:02:35.745 = Living In Remote Places00:22:27.629 = Park Ranger Scares00:41:42.409 = Backpacker Terrors01:02:18.415 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…“Terrors of People Living In Remote Areas” by Matthew Lavelle: http://bit.ly/2Y5j1r2“Park Ranger Scares” by Rosa Pasquarella: http://bit.ly/2xNbZZ6“Horrifying Backpacker Stories” by Jen Lennon: http://bit.ly/2LXcfNs=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.
