Double Tap Episode 435 This episode of Double Tap is brought to you by: Night Fision, Blue Alpha, Die Free Co., Second Call Defense, Mitchell Defense, and Swampfox Optics   Welcome to Double Tap, episode 435! Your hosts tonight are Jeremy Pozderac, Aaron Krieger, Nick Lynch, and me Shawn Herrin, welcome to the show! Agency 171 Jeremy - Future operatives, tonight, We speak to you from the hidden vaults of a legacy long whispered but never fully revealed. For years, our loyal listeners have stood with us in what we called "the cult," a bond forged in fire and fun. But the time has come to shed that skin and ascend to something deeper, something etched in the crimson ink of history. Nick - Welcome to Agency 171, a clandestine brotherhood born in the aftermath of our nation's founding, dedicated to the unyielding defense of liberty against those who seek to divide and disarm. No more mere cultists; you are now Operatives, rising through the ranks from Recruit to Director in the Covert Conclave. Your pledge isn't just support—it's an oath, unlocking exclusive intel, relics like the Loyalty Coin, and the power to strike back at tyranny. Savage - The old cult is nullified. Agency 171 is the future, step into the shadows. The Mandate watches, but we endure. Isn't it interesting how much the number 171 comes up in daily life? You'll see it everywhere—a sign, a call, your destiny. Lock and load, Operatives. The Agency awaits. Shawn - This is our new listener support program. Everyone who is a cult member will be migrated automatically tomorrow morning. You don't need to do anything except check your email (check spam). You'll get an email with details and you can take a look at the rewards and upgrade if you'd like. Way more rewards, way more fun and has so much more coming. There is even a game with all the cast and YOU as the main character. There will be missions (describe missions) with prizes as well. I have big plans for this and can't wait for what's to come.  After this week, after giving everyone a chance to upgrade, I'm giving away a gun to a random operative. I have many to get rid of and the Agency is where it'll be happening.   Agency 171 is a fictional secret society created as a fun rebrand for the "We Like Shooting" podcast's listener support model. In the lore, it's a clandestine organization founded in the early 1800s (post-1789) to defend absolute 2A rights against the Mandate for Divisive Action (MDA), a made-up deep-state cabal that promotes gun control. Listeners "join" as Operatives through monthly pledges (from Recruit at $5 to Director at $60+), unlocking exclusive perks like bonus content, merch (e.g., stickers, coins), and community access in the Vault. It's all for entertainment—support the show, get in on the mystery, and fight "tyranny" with humor and gear.   Dear WLS Spenser F - Looking to get a century arms mp5sd. Wondering what can you guys would recommend that would fit under the 1.5" handguard and still be super quiet? I was going to go with the bowers vers 9 but it's diameter is 1.7. Thanks     Lenny W - You guys ever think about doing a section about what's new in 3D prints in the gun world every week?     Alex W - Hey y'all. I've heard a lot of stories about fish and game cops trying to jail people over defensive wildlife shootings. I was wondering if that was something 2nd call defense would help with or if they only deal with cases involving human assailants?     NightWasher513 Tx - Let me first say that finding this page without manually typing in the words “dashboard “. And if you look at the transcript to get the right link on Double Tap 425 it says the link is wedelikeshooting.comdashboard. Yeah that doesn't exactly work. But anyway, my two part question is. If you 3rd print a MAC 11 and design your own pistol brace, could the ATF say that's a stock not a brace? And could you even SBR your own custom built rifle?

Trying to eat more without gaining weight? Wondering how much protein you actually need — or if you’ve gone overboard? And what about that burning reflux that ruins your sleep? In this week’s episode of The Nutrition Couch, dietitians Leanne Ward and Susie Burrell cut through the confusion with practical, no-BS advice that real women can use every day. Here’s what you’ll learn: The truth about “free foods” and fat loss — what dietitians really mean by low-calorie “free” foods, and how to use them to bulk up meals, feel satisfied, and enjoy more flavour without blowing your calories. Protein myths busted — how much women actually need for fat loss, hormones and muscle support, what “too much” looks like, and why overdoing protein can leave you bloated, gassy, and tired. Healthy, affordable protein swaps — the best whole-food and budget-friendly sources of protein (and why most “protein everything” snacks aren’t helping your gut or your wallet). Smarter drink choices for summer — the surprising truth about tonic water sugar, and the best low-sugar options for your next G&T or alcohol-free spritz. Reflux fixes that actually work — how to eat at night without triggering reflux, which foods make it worse, and the simple evening habits that can finally help you sleep better. If you want to eat well, feel full, and still hit your health goals — without tracking every calorie or giving up your favourite foods — this episode is your blueprint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Just Wondering, Norm Hitzges sits down with longtime Texas Rangers beat reporter Evan Grant to examine one of the most pivotal offseasons the franchise has faced in years. With Bruce Bochy and Mike Maddox gone, Skip Schumacher stepping in, and payroll reductions looming, the Rangers must decide whether they are still building to contend—or preparing to reset. Evan offers candid insight into the front office's thinking, the financial squeeze tied to TV revenue losses, and what roster changes may look like—from Adolis García and Jonah Heim, to a potential move involving Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, or even Jacob deGrom. They also tackle whether the Rangers' offensive philosophy has stalled, how Josh Jung and Jake Burger fit into the new approach, and whether the organization can finally develop its own pitching. Along the way: cat diplomacy, rescue dogs, and a little baseball soul-searching. A thoughtful and revealing conversation for any Rangers fan wondering what comes next.   Chapters 00:00:00 – Norm Sets the Stage: GM Meetings, Offseason Uncertainty 00:00:33 – Title Sponsor: Fluent Financial 00:01:35 – Introducing Evan Grant: Perspective from Decades on the Rangers Beat 00:02:32 – Bruce Bochy's Exit: Mutual Decision or Push Out the Door? 00:03:54 – The Loss of Mike Maddox and What “Respect” Means in Baseball 00:06:28 – Will Coaching Changes Actually Hurt the 2026 Team? 00:07:57 – The Real Issue: Payroll Cuts and Financial Restraints 00:09:49 – TV Revenue Decline and Attendance Drop: The Business Side 00:10:57 – Who Goes?

Today, Norm takes a deep breath, stares directly into the abyss, and asks the question Cowboys fans probably should be asking: how exactly is Dallas going to pay for anyone next season? With the salary cap projected at $307 million and the Cowboys already basically using that to cover nine players and a pile of dead money, things are… well… tight.Norm breaks down the massive cap hits coming for Dak, CeeDee, Diggs, Quinn Williams, and more, while explaining why the Cowboys' options range from “painful” to “oh no.” He also reflects on the tragic death of Marshawn Nealon — a moment that reminds us the sport we obsess over is still played by human beings with struggles bigger than the scoreboard.It's a sobering episode, a little biting, a little grim, and very Norm. Chapters00:00 – Today's Question: How Do the Cowboys Pay Anyone Next Year?01:21 – The Tragic Story of Marshawn Nealon02:55 – The Salary Cap Is a Monster and It Is Hungry04:27 – The Contracts That Ate the Payroll05:05 – $307 Million Cap vs. $273 Million Already Spoken For06:58 – So… Who Gets Cut?

How do you navigate the inevitable storms of life? What does it truly look like to grieve the life you once envisioned?Josh Turner is no stranger to life's storms. From parenting a daughter with special needs—whose diagnosis didn't come until she was 12 years old—to enduring a painful betrayal at the church where he served as a pastor, Josh has weathered more than his fair share of hardship.

In this episode, I'm sharing the addict traits that still show up in my life after almost 20 years sober — and how they confirm, without a doubt, that I'm not someone who can ever drink normally. We'll talk about: The "more" mentality — when enough is never enough Overthinking and rumination (AKA emotional avoidance) Feeling “less than” no matter how much you accomplish Being extra in everyday ways (and what that really means) Why avoiding hard things in sobriety is just as dangerous as numbing them And we'll bring it all back to the biggest red flag of all:Just how much mental energy you're spending thinking about alcohol. You'll hear the truth about the addict personality: how it still shows up in overthinking, overdoing, compulsive patterns, and that constant hunger for “more.” Because if you're fantasizing, negotiating, or justifying a future where you might drink again... that's not healing. That's the addiction, whispering in a different voice.

Norm is back and just thrilled to talk about the Rangers losing yet another franchise brain and the Cowboys turning Monday Night Football into a group exercise in “How Not to Football.” We break down Mike Maddox walking out the same door Bochy did, the Cowboys somehow forgetting that tackling is part of the sport, and Dallas making trade deadline moves like they just discovered Monopoly money. Pull up a chair. Grab a coffee. Maybe something stronger.

Wondering where your confidence has gone?You're definitely not alone. So many of us in midlife have spent years proving, pleasing, supporting everyone else… and somewhere along the way, we quietly lose touch with who we are at our core.In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Sarah Snape, a midlife confidence coach who has truly walked this path herself. For years, Sarah said no to things she secretly wanted. She stayed small, stayed safe, stayed on the sidelines — not because she lacked ability, but because her self-belief had slowly worn away.Eventually, she realised she didn't want to blend in anymore. She wanted to live. So she started saying YES — gently, bravely, one small choice at a time. And that's where her confidence began to rebuild: from the inside out.In this conversation, Sarah shares how you can do the same.You'll hear: Why confidence often fades in midlife — and how to reconnect to it The mindset shifts that make the biggest difference How to stop waiting to feel “ready” and take aligned action now Simple ways to stretch your comfort zone without overwhelming your nervous system Why confidence isn't about being loud, extroverted, or polished — it's about being youIf confidence feels like something you've lost or never fully owned, this episode will remind you how to find it again.For more about Sarah go to:  https://www.sarahjsnape.com/Or https://www.instagram.com/sarahjsnape/Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.

Norm's got a Monday doubleheader: first, a public-service announcement that the “2–5” Arizona Cardinals are the most annoying good bad team you'll see all year; second, a therapy session about the Rangers' brain drain—Bruce Bochy already gone, and now pitching whisperer Mike Maddux exits stage left to Anaheim. We break down why Jacoby “No Picks” Brissett is the exact backup QB you don't want to face, why this is a must-win that won't feel like one, and how Maddux turned duct tape and journeymen into league-best ERA magic…which Texas now has to replace.

Norm rolls into Halloween wondering what the Cowboys should really do at the trade deadline: buy band-aids for a busted defense or stockpile draft picks and live to fight another day. Along the way, he side-eyes Jerry Jones' “hundred-billion-dollar” gas talk, floats some pragmatic (and spicy) trade chips, and delivers the line of the day on Mozzie Smith and a steak dinner. Then it's off to college football, where buyouts balloon, coaches vanish by mid-October, and LSU's governor casually workshops a hiring process that sounds more like a rally than a search committee. Norm wraps with a Texas-sized hypothetical that would set Austin—and the internet—on fire. Smart, punchy, and just the right amount of “you can't make this up.” Chapters 00:00 — Trick or Trade?01:23 — Jerry's Gas & the Distraction Index02:54 — Offense Elite, Defense… Not So Much04:45 — Sell Mode SZN06:16 — The Mozzie & Bob's Special08:02 — Sponsor Break: Bob's Steak & Chop House08:39 — Sponsor Break: Full Moon Healing Balm09:24 — Coaching Carousel Goes Brrr11:17 — LSU: Governance, But Make It Wild12:52 — Imagine This in Texas13:55 — Sponsor Tag14:16 — Credits & Follow Reminders Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfw Instagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

How do you hold onto hope when the answers just aren't coming? What does it look like to keep the faith when it feels like your prayers are going unheard?Olivia (Feller) Gerber's journey with chronic pain began in high school, when unexplained symptoms started to disrupt her daily life. Despite countless medical tests and doctor visits, she was left without a clear diagnosis—only more questions and mounting discouragement. In the midst of the unknown, Olivia discovered she couldn't interpret God's promises through the lens of her pain. Instead, she had to learn to see her circumstances through the truth of Scripture. That shift not only sustained her but inspired her to begin writing letters of encouragement to others walking a similar road, eventually leading to her book, Hold Hope: Encouragement for Christians with Chronic Pain.In this episode, Davey sits down with Olivia to explore the power of praying with specificity, the importance of community in seasons of suffering, and how to cling to hope when your situation seems stuck.If you or someone you love is walking through chronic pain and struggling to hold on to hope, this conversation will remind you that even in the absence of answers or change, God is present in your pain and will give you the strength to keep going.

Sam Vander Wielen, the powerhouse behind a thriving seven-figure legal education business, sits down with Karl to reveal the exact systems she uses to scale while staying true to her unique voice.

This isn't about collecting compliments – it's about gathering data that actually changes how she builds products and crafts messaging. The twist? Sometimes the data forces her to pivot away from her own assumptions. Sam shares how customer feedback helped her make decisions that felt counterintuitive but drove significant growth. AI Integration Without Losing Your Soul Sam's approach to AI is refreshingly strategic. She's not jumping on every shiny new tool – instead, she's thoughtfully integrating AI for specific tasks while fiercely protecting what makes her business unique: her voice and perspective. She reveals exactly where she uses AI (social media, email reminders) and where she draws hard lines (core content creation). Why This Matters for Your Business If you're a small business owner struggling with: Team members who wait for direction instead of taking initiative Making decisions based on gut feeling rather than solid data Wondering how to use AI without losing what makes you different Scaling while maintaining quality and authenticity ...then Sam's systems provide a blueprint you can actually implement. The Bottom Line Sam proves that systematic curiosity and strategic feedback loops aren't just nice-to-haves. They're the engines that power sustainable growth. Her approach shows how the right systems can help you scale without sacrificing the human elements that make your business special. Ready to build magnetic systems that make your team more proactive and your customers more engaged? This conversation gives you the roadmap.
