  • Great content

    Jack is great but Dee is just awful — such worthless commentary; Andy is annoying and overly verbose, but not a bad guy. Put Eyes On on a different feed so it doesn’t stain the Team House.

  • Great Show

    With Dee this is a 1 star show. Without him this show would be incredible. I’ll give it a 3 because all other contributors on the show actually demonstrate professionalism and knowledge of the subject at hand.

  • Apolitical?

    Was looking for a good history podcast. In the first sentence it says fiercely apolitical. First episode I listen to is nothing but bashing Trump and policies. Got through 10 minutes and not what I came for.

    Really used to love this pod! My lord do you guys not perceive how terrible Dee comes across. Low powered intellect and incredible biases. That dude should not be on a mic for you all. This is less about his bias and more about his low watt output and overall presence which is so off putting when listening to this sort of a show.

    Let him do his own whiny politics / low information show off to the side - he brings down the impact of the conversations your guests and co-hosts are having.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NYPD Detective on Murder, Mobsters & Old New York | Jason Allison
Q: So what happened that made you go from, you know, trying to get into tunnel, a place like that, to wanting to be a police officer?
The NYPD appeal was practical: good benefits, outdoors work, varied daily experiences, and a pension—something tangible after college—and the detective path offered a chance to really affect crime outcomes rather than just witness them.
Inside a Ransom Exchange With Somali Pirates | David Leaning
Q: How did you get involved in the private security operation after leaving the Royal Marines?
A former commander connected me to an anti-poaching and security opportunity; the Colonel offered a role that sounded like a test of nerve and leadership, which I accepted after weighing the risks and potential pay.
AI: Boom or Doom? | EYES ON GEOPOLITICS
Q: What are you tracking right now with AI and geopolitics?
The guests discuss the competitive dynamics between the U.S. and China in frontline AI capabilities, the risk of open-weight models, and the potential for AI to influence security, economics, and everyday life, including policy responses.
Inside the SAS w/ SAS Operator Jay Morton
Q: What was the selection process like for the Paras and later the SAS?
The Paras selection is six months of training, including P Company with grueling fitness tests like 10/20 mile marches, a steeplechase, and a log and stretcher race; the SAS selection adds phases such as hills, jungle training in Brunei, surveillance and reconnaissance, counterterrorism, escape and evasion, and parachuting before badge qualification.
Inside the Special Forces Crisis Response Team | Dave Harris
Q: What stood out about the Nigeria/embassy mission training in Berlin and Nigeria?
The Berlin detour allowed him to see Europe; in Nigeria, the team built routes, mapped doors, rehearsed embassy security, and trained Marines on CQB, illustrating the integrated, joint nature of embassy security operations.
