Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A Cop's Confession: 'We Have Almost Zero Training” | Suresh Madhavan
Q: Why did you decide to start 221B Tactical and how did the idea come about?
After recognizing a long-standing problem with uncomfortable, heat-retaining body armor, he collaborated with a fabric expert to create a breathable vest; the idea blossomed after testing with cops at a trade show and a feature in Police One helped propel early sales.
A Cop's Confession: 'We Have Almost Zero Training” | Suresh Madhavan
Q: And when you became a cop, what training did they give you?
Zero training in key areas like psychological interviewing, advanced civilian interaction, or handling high-stress scenes; the guest emphasizes that most policing involves real-time improvisation and a broad skill set rather than formal, comprehensive training.
How the CIA Created a Dictator That Turned On Them | Cillian Dunne
Q: What made you decide to write about Noriega and Panama?
I was approached by a Panama-based contact who suggested a book project about Noriega and the wider US-Panama dynamic; the opportunity came with travel, access to key sources, and a chance to publicly document and fact-check a complex, highly nuanced history.
How the CIA Created a Dictator That Turned On Them | Cillian Dunne
Q: Did he have anything to do with the Iran-Contra affair in the 80s?
Yes, the discussion places Noriega within the Iran-Contra orbit during the early 1980s, describing how the Contras and anti-Communist efforts intersected with Noriega's networks and U.S. covert support, and how his role shifted as political priorities changed.
UFC Legend Mayhem Miller on Fighting, Discipline, and Building Yourself From Nothing
Q: What do you tell yourself to keep yourself at optimal levels when you're training or when you're working out? What's that voice in your head that gets you going?
It's important to create a mindset where you're always trying to become better and to have a support team around you.
