  • Needs more ads to pay for audio

    Every other podcast I listen to has maybe two minutes of ads at one time but when I’m listening to this while trying to make dinner or whatever and I say “hey siri fast forward 3 minutes” and an ad is still playing so I say “hey siri fast forward two more minutes” again and an ad is still playing… their audio sounds amateur, and this is coming from a guy who has had both eardrums blown out completely. I suggest making the ad break at least 10 minutes so you fellas can buy better audio equipmen... more

  • 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.

What Nuking Iran Would Actually Be Like | Eyes On Geopolitics
Q: What could happen to enriched uranium if the facility were hit?
Hackett says destroying stored uranium compounds could aerosolize hazardous material, with wind direction determining where it travels and exposing nearby civilians to serious health risks.
What Nuking Iran Would Actually Be Like | Eyes On Geopolitics
Q: How plausible is a U.S. nuclear strike on Pickaxe Mountain?
The panel considers a nuclear strike very unlikely as a practical military option. A nuclear weapon might still fail to destroy the deeply buried facility, while causing widespread destruction and risking radioactive contamination. Conventional measures could instead isolate or disable the site.
Before SEALs & Delta Force: Snipers in the Revolutionary War
Q: And what was it that finally got the British to throw in the towel and end the war?
O'Donnell attributes the decisive surrender at Yorktown to the Continental Army and French forces surrounding Cornwallis, cutting off reinforcement and evacuation. The war continued for two years before the British sued for peace, with the wider conflict and its financial costs adding pressure on the Crown.
Before SEALs & Delta Force: Snipers in the Revolutionary War
Q: Do you have some pretty incredible stories in the book about where the guys are lined up with muskets shooting it like four or five dudes on line marching right towards them, and from a range of 50 yards, everybody misses?
O'Donnell says smoothbore muskets were often inaccurate, while riflemen could use their long rifles to hit targets at much greater distances. Their effectiveness changed how the British fought, though the riflemen's independence and privileges also contributed to a mutiny.
Delta Force & Ranger Regiment Commander | Pete Blaber (throwback ep)
Q: Can you lay out what the mission was, what the scenario was, and where these command decisions and refusals of certain requests were?
Blaber explains that a Ranger platoon was sent into dangerous Afghan terrain without specific intelligence, ordered to tow a disabled vehicle, denied permission to destroy it or evacuate it, and then split before entering a canyon where friendly fire killed Pat Tillman.
