Reviews

4.7 out of 5 stars from 3.7k ratings
  • Jumped the shark….

    The lead host used to occasionally push back when his panel of guest-hosts made supremely asinine, declarative statements. Not anymore.

    The sheer tonnage of fantasy nonsense being spouted by these guys is like inadvertently driving past a slaughter house, when the smell is so bad you can taste it for the next 20 miles, and then again when your hair gets wet in the shower.

    What a bunch of wankers.

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

22 SAS Operator | Phil Campion (throwback ep)
Q: What was the most pivotal operation you refer to, and what did it entail?
The Sierra Leone operation, a multi-day, intelligence-led rescue with helicopters and ground teams, culminating in the successful extraction of hostages and significant counter-insurgency actions with real-time planning and risk management.
22 SAS Operator | Phil Campion (throwback ep)
Q: What led you to pursue special forces, and how did you eventually make selection happen?
I was inspired by observing the elite operators, then I pursued the path through P Company and self-initiated requests to join the Parachute Regiment, followed by applying to Special Forces Selection and enduring a lengthy wait and multiple considerations before being admitted.
Inside the CIA, the White House & the Intelligence Purges | Julia Curlee
Q: What was the experience like briefing senior leaders as an IC analyst and briefer?
Julia describes a demanding, all-night process to distill vast intelligence into concise briefings for the President, Vice President, and security leadership, and notes the importance of delivering candid assessments even when they are uncomfortable for leadership.
Army Special Mission Unit Operator | Erick Miyares (throwback ep)
Q: What does AFO mean and what do you do when you're AFO?
Advanced Force Operations involves enabling field operations through liaison work, logistics, and enabling tactical actions beyond conventional forces, including facilitating access, weapons, and support in difficult environments; the role is to provide flexible options and enable others to operate effectively.
Inside the Pentagon on 9/11 | Ambassador Matthew Klimow
Q: So I ask pretty much all of the people on this show, if you could tell us your origin story. How did you grow up and how did that take you towards military service?
The guest describes growing up in upstate New York in a factory town with immigrant roots, a strong influence from his father who fought in World War II, and how encouragement from a high school history teacher led him to West Point. He describes a clear trajectory: infantry, field experiences in Germany during the Cold War, and a steady climb through leadership roles that eventually brought him to high‑level staff positions in Washington.
