This is the perfect time to be drinking. With your ears. To us designing secret behavior oppression systems, using outdated language, concentrating blue hair divinity, baking “nookie cookies,” wolf whistling a queen, remembering Barney violence, realizing she's jailbait, finally referencing Seinfeld, bumping off, getting rid of the magic gimp, chewing on a tongue, escalating an argument, corrupting a save file, sacrificing liquor to god, and getting burgled at Reza. With hard work, and bad hygiene, you can achieve anything. 00:00:00 Season 8 Seasons 00:02:10 Intro 00:04:07 Nanza With Kyle 00:25:09 South Nanza Pass 00:27:52 Althena's Shrine With Kyle 00:30:37 Burg With Kyle 00:32:02 Saith With Kyle 00:36:55 Meribia With Kyle 00:43:03 Vane With Kyle 00:49:39 Lann With Kyle 00:52:02 Reza 00:57:49 Real Net 01:05:24 Outro Patreon: patreon.com/retroam Bluesky: @retrogradeamnesia.bsky.social YouTube: www.youtube.com/@RetrogradeAmnesia E-Mail: podcast@retrogradeamnesia.com Website: www.retrogradeamnesia.com  

Episode 086 – Faith, Fighting & Law Enforcement: The Story of Aaron Price In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP sits down with Aaron Price, founder of 5 Stones Jiu-Jitsu and a state trooper in a narcotics unit, to explore the intersection of law enforcement, jiu-jitsu, leadership, failure, and faith. From growing up in a trailer park to nearly becoming a Navy SEAL… from leading drug interdiction missions to starting a jiu-jitsu academy that builds both warriors and men of God—Aaron's journey is one of resilience, purpose, and Extreme Ownership. This conversation gets real. Aaron shares the moment he almost pulled the trigger, the setback that crushed his SEAL dream, and how faith in Jesus Christ rebuilt his purpose and gave him a new mission: training warriors for real life—on and off the mat.

Doug Greenlaw sees his life as a series of "lightning strikes." He was literally struck by lightning when he was 13 years old, thankfully making an immediate recovery. He later left Indiana University to join the Army, become an officer, and serve in in the Vietnam War - first as a platoon commander and then as a company commander. He arrived in Vietnam in 1967.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Greenlaw takes us through his training, including a terrifying story from jungle training, and through his most harrowing moments in Vietnam. Greenlaw details the events of Thanksgiving Day 1967, when his platoon was dropped off in the wrong spot and quickly found itself facing a North Vietnamese battalion of 400-500 fighters. He explains the actions he took to keep his men alive until air and ground support could arrive - and he describes hand-to-hand fighting with an enemy officer in a North Vietnamese tunnel.Greenlaw also tells us his responsibilities and priorities as a platoon and company commander and how he and his men painstakingly looked out for enemy booby traps and explosives. He also reveals the extensive injuries he suffered after a soldier in his company tripped one of those wires.We'll also hear how Greenlaw's military service impacted his impressive rise as a sales and marketing executive, all the way to the top of MTV, Nickelodeon, and VH-1.Finally, we'll learn about Greenlaw's leadership with the Military Order of the Purple Heart, from leading his local chapter to serving as national commander for two years.

In this episode of the JP Dinnell Podcast, JP sits down with Isaac Tauaefa, the president of  ⁨@jesusandjiujitsu⁩  for a powerful, honest conversation about manhood, leadership, brokenness, and the transformational power of Jesus Christ. Isaac shares his raw and unfiltered story—from growing up as the son of a pastor and traveling with The Power Team, to pursuing a college football dream that came crashing down. After a devastating knee injury ended his shot at the NFL, Isaac spiraled into a life of partying, violence, and lost identity—until God wrecked his plans and revealed His. Now a leader, mentor, and disciple-maker, Isaac uses jiu-jitsu, faith, and real conversations to challenge men to step into their God-given calling and lead from the front.

Show Notes: I knew kids in high school and college who cheated. They stole exams or looked at other people's answers or had someone else take tests for them. (Ironically, grammar school was far more honest!) My daughter had a friend whom she abandoned because of her chronic cheating and requests to help her out. She even cheated at sports unless the officials caught her. When you're successful, of course, you don't stop, and she tried cheating in college and got herself tossed out. I'd bet she's in a blue collar job today and stealing from her employer. People asked me to help them cheat and even offered money to me to write a paper or sit in such a way where they could see my answers. I never acquiesced, and there were two quite simple reasons. First, it makes it harder for all the honest kids to stand out, and second, I really don't want someone doing my taxes, or selling my house, or operating on an abscess who cheated to get to those positions. I remember a guy called in by auto shops who would "prove" that the car you wanted to trade in had been in an accident and repaired, hence lowering it's value. I assume he was one of the cheaters who was now making it his life's work. A doctor and bank board member cheated when he sold his house to us in Summit, New Jersey, by removing the lighting that would have shown a rusting furnace, then paying off the inspection guy to overlook it. So I turned down his bank for my loan. Chronic cheating is a disease, a personality disorder. Like smoking or certain drugs, which can addict you, cheating can dominate your life because, unfortunately, the more you get away with it, the more you think you're great at it, and the more you do it—until ultimately caught, sooner or later. You know all those college deans and politicians who, inexplicably, had lies on their current resumes and were cashiered? They had gotten away with it for so long that they began to believe it was the truth. "Yes, I went to Oxford, and yes, I was awarded a Silver Star." You know this Senator, Bob Menendez, convicted of fraud and political corruption (along with his wife). He pleaded for leniency in front of the judge and then walked a few yards over to the press and complained how unfair the judge was. I knew him when he was elected as a "reform" mayor at 20 in Union City, New Jersey. He exhibited then and since the same behaviors that have thrown him into jail now. The more powerful the person, the larger the lies.

In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas sit down for the most raw, unfiltered conversation they've ever had. Over the course of one week, they faced a series of unimaginable events—a tragic death, a violent murder, and a spiritual confrontation with evil. In the midst of it all, they were forced to lead others, support their families, and show up when everything inside them wanted to break. This episode isn't about tactics or strategy. It's about faith in the fire, the burden of leadership, and what it means to carry others through darkness when you yourself are hurting.

Captain Sidney Salomon served in World War II as an Army Ranger. The Rangers were an elite American unit that trained and operated with the famous British Commandos. Using the element of surprise as their main weapon, the Rangers played an important role in the Invasion of Normandy, the Dieppe Raid, and many other significant campaigns.  In this interview, Salomon describes his experiences on D-Day. He took part in the amphibious landing of Omaha Beach with 2nd Ranger Battalion, C Company. C Company was depicted at the beginning of ‘Saving Private Ryan', when Captain Miller, played by Tom Hanks, led them through the landing. It was Salomon's job to storm the beach, climb a cliff, take a mortar position, and then storm a fortified house that held an automatic weapon. On the beach, Salomon was hit by shrapnel from a mortar explosion, and thought he was going to die. Thankfully the injury wasn't that serious, and a medic was able to patch him up. Solomon continued up the cliff and successfully captured the German mortar position, but his unit suffered too many casualties to move onto the fortified house. They held that position until morning. Salomon was awarded a Silver Star for his actions on D-Day.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

​Vietnam Veteran and Catholic priest Fr. Philip Salois joins us with his biographers, Julien Ayotte and Paul F. Caranci, to talk about his experiences during the Vietnam War and his subsequent commitment to spiritual healing, a story told in In the Shadows of Vietnam: The Gallant Life of Fr. Philip Salois. Salois grew up in a devout Catholic family, which laid the foundation for his deep-rooted faith. In March 1969, he was drafted into the U.S. Army, leading to his deployment to Vietnam in September of the same year. Assigned to the 199th Light Infantry Brigade, Salois faced the harsh realities of jungle warfare, a stark contrast to his previous life in Rhode Island. On February 28, 1970, Salois's platoon was tasked with locating and neutralizing the 133rd North Vietnamese Army Battalion near the village of Suoi Kiet. The following day, they inadvertently walked into a horseshoe-shaped ambush.Six soldiers were trapped behind enemy lines, their survival hinging on immediate rescue. Demonstrating extraordinary courage, Salois and fellow soldier Herb Klug volunteered to rescue their comrades. Before venturing into the line of fire, Salois prayed, making a solemn promise to God: if he emerged unscathed, he would dedicate his life to divine service. Their brave actions led to the rescue of four soldiers; tragically, Klug was killed during the mission. For his valor, Salois was awarded the Silver Star. After returning from Vietnam, Salois grappled with the haunting memories of war. In 1974, while attending a Catholic seminary in California, he recalled the promise he had made during the ambush. This realization propelled him toward priesthood, leading to his ordination as Father Philip Salois in 1984. ​Advocate for Veterans Father Salois dedicated his priesthood to supporting veterans, particularly those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). His firsthand combat experience allowed him to connect deeply with their struggles. As the Chief of Chaplains in the Boston VA Healthcare System, he provided spiritual guidance and organized retreats and conferences nationwide, offering solace and understanding to countless veterans. ​ Father Salois's journey from a soldier in the jungles of Vietnam to a priest devoted to healing the invisible wounds of war exemplifies resilience and compassion. His life serves as a testament to the enduring impact of faith and the profound difference one individual can make in the lives of others.​ We're grateful to UPMC for Life and Tobacco Free Adagio Health for sponsoring this event!

We welcome back Major General William M. Matz Jr., a distinguished retired U.S. Army officer, whose new book, My Toughest Battle: A Soldier's Lifelong Struggle with Polio, chronicles his journey of overcoming polio and his distinguished military career. Commissioned as a second lieutenant in 1962, Matz embarked on a military career that spanned over three decades. As an infantryman, he served in Korea and Panama, and as a company commander with the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam, where he was wounded during the 1968 Tet Offensive. His service extended to multiple tours with the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions, and he held the position of executive secretary to Secretaries of Defense Caspar Weinberger and Frank Carlucci. Matz also served two years with Navy/Marine Corps amphibious forces in the Pacific during a second tour in Vietnam and deployed with the 7th Infantry Division to Panama during Operation JUST CAUSE in 1989. Upon retiring from the Army in 1995, Matz transitioned to the defense industry, holding positions such as Vice President of Army Programs at Raytheon Company and General Manager for Vinnell/Northrop Grumman's Saudi Arabian National Guard Modernization Program in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In 2005, President George W. Bush appointed him to the Veterans' Disability Benefits Commission, where he served until 2008. He also served as President of the National Association for Uniformed Services, advocating for service members, veterans, and their families. In January 2018, President Donald Trump appointed Matz as the Secretary of the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), a position he held until March 2021. In this role, he was responsible for overseeing America's overseas commemorative cemeteries and memorials, honoring the service of U.S. armed forces. Throughout his career, Matz received numerous military awards and decorations, including the Distinguished Service Cross, Defense Distinguished Service Medal, Silver Star, Legion of Merit, Bronze Star for Valor, Purple Heart, and the Combat Infantryman Badge.

In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP sits down with Father Stokes, a former high-earning finance professional who walked away from a six-figure career to pursue his calling in ministry. This conversation dives deep into faith, leadership, discipline, and the principles of Extreme Ownership—core values that resonate with leaders, warriors, and high achievers. Father Stokes shares how his background in finance gave him a unique perspective on leadership, accountability, and decision-making under pressure—skills that transferred directly into his role as a leader within the church. He breaks down the shocking realities of leadership in ministry, including uncovering corruption, handling difficult conversations, and staying disciplined in the face of adversity. The discussion also explores why faith and leadership are inseparable, how ego destroys leaders, and what it really means to serve others while maintaining strength and discipline. Drawing parallels to the military, Jiu-Jitsu, and business, JP and Father Stokes break down the key traits of effective leaders—whether you're running a company, leading a family, or stepping up in your community.

In this episode of The JP Dinnell Podcast, JP and Lucas dive deep into discipline, time management, and leadership, discussing the key lessons learned from Jiu-Jitsu, business, and faith. They break down the importance of Extreme Ownership, sharing how small habits and accountability drive long-term success.

They emphasize why leaders must constantly evaluate their priorities and how self-discipline impacts every aspect of success.
