    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.

    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
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.
