Yes, welcome back to what it's like with Bull and J-Rock. Thank you, thank you, thank you. So just to give you a little overview of what's been going on in life. I've been kind of busy working. Uh love my job. Grateful for it. I have one for a reason. And things I'm doing there for a reason. Staying relevant. More money. That too. I'm grateful for the days too, because I get to work four days and three days off, right? And I'm trying to get those consecutively so I can do a little bit more. But when I can I will, and I will be here. And this is uh my heart as well. I mean, bread of life is one thing. Um but this is my my heart also, so yeah.
SPEAKER_01But we got you covered when you're not able.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. We got your six, man. Well, you better. You gotta be a battle. Battle buddies are important. Yeah. And those veterans out there listening, if you need a battle buddy, man, reach out. Don't forget. Because we got you, brother. We'll be in your corner, man, doing our best we can to help, and also point you in directions where there may be some assistance you can reach out for and need if you need it. So let us know. So let me ask you something, man. I know I've been busy, I've been busy with work and stuff. So it's been one of these moments where I just kind of disconnect and I only watch the things that really matter to me sometimes.
SPEAKER_01You get like headlines, but you don't really get it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I don't really just like look into it because sometimes I really get really busy sometimes, and I'm like, oh okay, I gotta do this, and I'm gonna focus on something else. Anyhow, I got all these things I've been looking at and following up on. And who in the world is Hassan Piker?
SPEAKER_01You know, honestly, when it comes down to it, I really didn't know who this guy was either. But when it comes down to it, he popped up and then he kept popping up again and again and again, and I was like, all right, so what is up with this dude? So it turns out, after I looked up some stuff, he's an influencer, like a big time influencer, and he's becoming um a big, like, not so much a no, he's not uh more like he's being the voice of the left for certain things, voice of the left, cause like all their craziness and everything. Okay, so when it comes down to it, the weirdest thing, okay, and because I saw different videos and everything like that, and it was the video that made me go, okay, well, I gotta look up some stuff. Who is this guy? I saw a video where he was on a Zoom call, okay, and there was an old lady on it. I don't know what they were talking about or anything like that. But she said, uh, commented on something, and then he turns around, and like in some like little tantrum or whatever, he says that uh America deserved 9-11 and suck my cock to some like older lady. I was like, what is going on? And you look into it a little bit more, and dude, not only does he think that America deserved 9-11, which is pretty like what the fuck to start with, but October 7th in Israel, when the women got raped and everything like that, it to him, it's no big deal. He's he literally said it's no big deal. And then the craziest thing is you know how like you say something bad or whatever, and then people turn around and uh later on are like, oh, you know, do you regret saying these words, you know, now that it's wrong or whatever? No, no, no. They went and talked to him, people talked to him and asked him if he regretted it. He said no. So he's had a chance to turn back everything that he said, and he said no. He doubled down on it and went forward. This dude is crazy, like totally crazy. Okay, but the thing is, is for the Dems, he's useful. He's a useful idiot because he's an influencer, he's popular, he has their message that they like. So now all they gotta do is filter some stuff out and no problems. Okay, you know, and it's just so crazy because I mean, it's not like you're gonna learn anything from him. I mean, that mentality and everything like that that tells you right there that he doesn't learn anything, he just chooses uh uh an opinion and then makes it fit. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_02Well, I mean Yeah, he's I mean he's just nothing so we really don't need to worry about him then or spend too much time talking about him because we don't need to waste our God-given breath over people that choose to be like that, right? Like I'm we're good. We're good.
SPEAKER_01Well, I would when it comes down to it. The thing that is really cool though, is just like he ha is an influencer or whatever, we have our podcast, and something that I've been working on, um, Project Podcast for the VA is to be able to teach people how to do podcasts just like we have, you know, so they can start their own. Is that how the idea was born? Like, you know? Well, when it comes down to it, I was actually talking with one of the rec therapists that were there, just in conversation, and you know, she was like, Well, we want stuff that's a that's gonna attract some of the younger veterans and things like that. And I get it because that's one of the things that before I had complained about because I had been like, you know, you have things that everyone can do together, but when you put and when you have a class and you put somebody that's like 22 and somebody that's like 78 together, you limit both people and what they can do and what they can handle because they're on different wavelengths to start with. You know, as veterans they can get along, but when it comes to actually learning something together, not only do they learn differently, but they have different capabilities. Does that make sense? And so she was talking about wanting something that would bring in, you know, younger veterans that you know they could use as it. So in that, I was like, Well, what about doing like a podcast? And you know, she was like, Well, we don't know how to do that. And I was like, Well, what if I set up like a proposal or something like that to do for a podcast for you? So that's what I did. I turned around and I made project podcasts, and it has the equipment cost, it has advantages, disadvantages. Um, I did a 12-week program, you know, and then when it comes down to you know, the ultimate thing that people always talk about is oh well, do we have the stuff? Can we do we have the money? Can we get the money? For the pilot program, it's gonna be all our equipment. So we are gonna run this pilot program. Okay, because I'm gonna need your help with it too. Remember it. So, and if it takes off and works, then the VA should very then the VA should very easily uh be willing to pay for a program that one, they know that it works, and two, they have feedback from other veterans that have already done the program.
SPEAKER_02I believe it. Anything is possible, bro. I'm willing to be there, help in any capacity I possibly can. Because I do care about people like us. Yeah. I care about everybody else too that's not like us, too. Those listening. Like, I want you to know.
SPEAKER_01But no, he he just trust me, he's veterans, veterans only. No, but when it comes down to it, so that's what I've been working on. But I know for you, you know, you kind of watch a little bit more of what's been going on with Iran and everything like that. And I mean, like I said, I've been kind of busy, so I mean it's been busy.
SPEAKER_02I've been busy. You've been busy riding your bike 50 miles a day.
SPEAKER_01No, no, busy. I'm no, I made project podcast. You did. I have uh I have another project that I'm working on, and then I built a project for uh Billy. If anyone goes through um our episodes and everything, when I interviewed Billy, I created a project for him. And whether or not that takes off or not, we'll be right back.
SPEAKER_02It's kind of cool, man. You got a pretty awesome brain, bro, to work all this stuff out. I think it's pretty cool, man. Um but yeah, but the thing I've been it's on my heart too, because even out even Africa's on my heart. Everything is kind of it tampers and plays on the strings of my heart at times with people and the things they go through. J-Rock loves the world and everyone in it. I do, I do, but then also have a plan to like kill everyone. So I don't understand, you know, the the dynamics of that, the duality, but that's just what it is. And um, but I love God. But let me tell you, man, this war in Iran has been something that's it's a long time coming, you know, and I know for a lot of people too, especially those that were held hostage back in 79 from Lodeon. There's that, and then the bombing of the marine barracks, and the Beirut bombing. Yeah, there's been a lot of things that have happened, and you know, it's been the same situation then, you know, they have really human rights just don't exist, and especially with women, and that's really sad, and that's unfortunate, and that's not what I know God and the God that I serve know Jesus. He doesn't want that. You get rid of people, man. How are you gonna how are you gonna have generations grow? How is how's the world gonna move if you start just killing everybody off? And then there's no generations. Now you got a bunch of rich older people walking around. Like, how what does that happen? Then there's nobody that lives anymore. Well, it's all it's gonna be eventually is just older people. I mean, dude, I saw a thing the other day, they're freaking recruiting 12-year-olds. 12-year-olds, bro. Like, they don't really know. All they know is just shoot, run, shoot, move. They don't know dynamics, they don't understand tactics and training. Even video games can't really teach them. No. With the dyn the violence that will come upon them and the screams and the sounds of those violent things.
SPEAKER_01What happens when you get afraid when you when you're afraid? What happened, all these situations that they would have to deal with. 12-year-old's not ready to deal with that. I mean, a lot of times a lot of times at 18, some of those things can be kind of hard to understand and grapple with because you're you know at that at that stage.
SPEAKER_02When I was 19 years old, man, 18, 19, because 19, I was in the Marine Corps and broke camp. I remember my first time throwing a grenade. I mean, I threw it afterwards as well, so it wasn't as hard, difficult, or you know, mind-changing. But when I when I first heard it, I've never heard a grenade in my life go off. So I take the great grenade grenade range and we go there, and man, I'm hearing an explosion like I've never heard in my life. And we're in these canyons too, right? In the mountains, so it's just amplified even more, bro. And I'm just sitting here like, I am death-defied. Like it, and and then they give you that speech. You say, Hey, listen, if something happens, you drop the grenade in this pit. If you move and don't, if you don't stay still, you start squirming around, I'm gonna leave yourself there and I'm gonna jump out and you're gonna blow up. Do you understand? And I'm just like, what? Uh, you know, don't do that. Okay, okay, you know, so that's going in my mind, and the correct way of throwing it and positioning myself is going in my mind. And I got this thought like, dude, if I mess up, he's gonna grab me and throw me. But if I move, he's just gonna leave me there and I'm gonna blow up.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, but see, how about pressure, bro? Yeah, but think about the fact that you've already gotten old enough to emotionally start processing that, you know. Yes, you're still kind of like at a loss, like right.
SPEAKER_02You still get this, but you still have, right? You still do the techniques and training that they show you. So that's what I'm trying to get at. With these 12-year-olds, they don't have that capacity at that moment. So they're gonna be learning the hard way, OJT style, because there's gonna be some craziness going on, and they're gonna be like, I don't want to do this anymore.
SPEAKER_01Well, how do you think a 12-year-old's gonna react when the person next to him gets shot and killed? Blows up. That like that's gonna be a totally different reaction.
SPEAKER_02Let me tell you something. I'm not to be gruesome or gross, but like in ballistics, you think about the gel or the cavity of a body and of a grown man compared to a child. Now, that type of bullet that goes through these individuals, one that's older and one that is not, there is more in inflicting damage that's gonna be done to the 12-year-old that's gonna just incapacitate them. And the tissue's a lot softer. He's just it doesn't even matter anymore at that point. All right, it's sad and it's unfortunate. And I pray that it does not have to happen that way, that they come to their senses, man, because those are beautiful people, and those things do not need to happen to them and their family's generation, like Persian generation of forefathers, you know, like they're beautiful people, bro.
SPEAKER_01Well, that's what that's what they want to go back to. They want to go back to before Iran was ruled by the mullahs or whatever. They want to go back to the Persians style, yeah.
SPEAKER_02Because it was better for them.
SPEAKER_01Well, obviously, obviously. Well, yeah, but I mean, you know, okay, people want to turn around and say, Oh, well, they're not that bad, they're not this. Every every turn, every time something happens, they do something that makes absolutely no sense. Okay, so when it comes down to it, why would a country that's smaller, non that doesn't have uh nuclear capabilities, so it doesn't it doesn't have like a US versus China type rivalry that they have going on type thing, why would they have underwater mines? Like what for?
SPEAKER_02What's the purpose? Uh for things not to infiltrate their area of water. Okay. So they can protect the waterways from anything that they want.
SPEAKER_01Well, they mined it so that they could try and create a toll booth situation and they could toll all the ships that go through.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, they get paid, get paper, gang extortion.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. So when it comes down to it, okay, so all right. You got the people that are complaining that, oh, well, the straits not open yet. You know, Trump lied and Iran's not doing this, and everything's a you know, crap, and what and it's like, dude, the straits not open yet because they're trying to find the mines in it, you know. I mean, they could just let everyone go through, but apparently there's like a dozen or so mines that are there, and they have to be found and dealt with beforehand. Correct. And the Hormuz Strait is like what 25 miles wide or some crap? That's a lot of water, bro. Oh, yeah. It's gonna take a while to go through that.
SPEAKER_02Well, I mean, they have it lined up, they know what they're doing, and they have their thermals, their infrared scanners, they have submersibles, they have different technicals that are going to uh make sure that job gets done. They also their drones that they have that can see visual in the air, live for hot spots or dark spots that are mines. So I mean it's it's just a matter of just getting stuff and blowing it up and EOD blowing stuff up. But I think you know I just think peace should just be settled and just let's just get our money and let's just do what we need to do and just move forward, you know. Um I I don't know, man, like things aren't looking good if they're gonna be going this way. If the if if the regime is not having peaceful talks now, then we know that now it's time to plan for war, dude. And that's it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's it's starting to look more and more like the regime's not gonna give up at all. And you know, that's really unfortunate for you know any of the soldiers that are there, but also for their citizens, because they're gonna do whatever they care and they already don't care if their citizens live or die.
SPEAKER_02Well, Amnesty, I pray that they get some type of pass to get through someplace to have refuge and then come back, you know, if need be, and they're taken care of. I hope that for them, pray that for them. But when it comes to the onslaught of war and bombs and destruction layways, that's gonna unfortunately unfold. And then when you're talking about peace talks and you're giving me at least two weeks or a week to two weeks, well, dude, that gives me time for product production. I have more bombs.
SPEAKER_01Dude, one of the things that Iran wants in these agreements or whatever, they've had all these different ones, and I've seen some of the things from one of the things they want is they want America to pay for all the damage that we've done.
SPEAKER_02Well, America's done that a lot even since you know the times of the Japanese war and Korea, like we've done things.
SPEAKER_01I mean, seriously, at this point in time, they want us to pay them a bunch of money to go back together with things. It's like, really?
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's like you're the person that's causing the problems, you're the terrorist, you're the person that's aggravating everyone. It's like, are you gonna pay for everybody else's shit that you broke? Well, it's like you're not gonna do that.
SPEAKER_02It's like, so why the question, though, makes me wonder are we there's certain type of agreement that we have made that we don't know anything about, or the American people don't know anything about? Well, I mean, something like that's always possible. You know, the That's why things have flew like why do we feel so compelled to go to certain places of interest that we may have to say we're going to restructure your facilities and government hierarchies and your infrastructures? We have placed these things in position for you, and we have a person that's gonna help you. We're taking over because now we get our paper here. So it's kind of like a landmark, check mark, boom, stamp, cool. We're here, we got it. We're we're controlling this. This is our points of interest now. This is what deem we deem necessary to make money. So now this Iran thing, that's the reason why they're doing it. Why aren't they doing this in Africa? I'm just playing an advocate, mind you. Check this out.
SPEAKER_01When it comes down to it, why China, China does go around in places in Africa, but I think it's based on rare resources. Yeah. And stuff. So they're doing stuff there. Coal, diamonds, I don't, I don't fully know agriculture produce. I don't fully know what countr what countries or whatever, but I know they are involved in Africa.
SPEAKER_02There's some there's some things that go on we don't know about. We're we're just trying to, we're listening to what we're being told. But I have to you have to look more deeper into things, I think. And I and I'm like, all right. I just I pray for my my brothers and sisters in arms. I pray for them to be safe and what and God bless them on what they do, you know. Um part of me wishes I can be there with y'all, boots on the ground, get ready to kick some doors in. Some other times I'm like, no, you know, I'd rather not. You know, it's it's okay. You know, like it's it's if it's not necessary, if it's not anything that's gonna be like if this something's gonna, if this is going to uh help America in any way where it'll push away terrorism at a further level, even though you can't get rid of it because it's an ideology you can't get rid of, right? But if you can push and prolong certain things happening, great. That's more lives to be saved. But if it's not, and it's for other interest and greed, well then I'm not with it.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, a lot of people turned around and said that you know it was gonna cause a problem for you know oil and everything like that, dude. There's as of yesterday or whatever, there's like over 120 tankers on their way to here in America.
SPEAKER_00Good.
SPEAKER_01And when it comes down to it, 68 of those can hold over two million barrels. Nice. You have any idea how much oil that is? That's a lot of oil. Yeah, that's bank. And guess what? When that happens, they're gonna do it once and then they'll do it twice, and then bam, we have an a permanent customer because they're just gonna keep coming back and back again because they know, you know, oh, I don't have to worry about you know, some conflict or war. They're never gonna have you know the ocean blockaded and I can't. It through and I'm just gonna, you know, make deals with them. So, I mean, for everyone that said Trump was full of shit and you know nobody was gonna commit to it, they um everything's a hundred percent good. You know how a few years back Biden went into our uh oil reserves and basically used all of it when prices were going up.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Well, China, half theirs is gone because they can't get oil. Okay, because 80% of what comes out of the hormouse goes to China.
SPEAKER_02Well, I guess we we definitely knew how to hit the hit them where it really hurts, right? With people and things. We decided that's a smart business strategy. That's a great strategy.
SPEAKER_01Well, okay, so check this out.
SPEAKER_02Everybody's gonna be at our kind of like you're gonna have to ask us now type thing.
SPEAKER_01You know, you know what I think would be really good? Because I mean we we don't want to be in the Middle East dealing with this crap forever. We want to eventually come home. So something that I think would be cool to keep everyone on a level field, everyone even. Okay. Mesa, Middle Eastern Strategic Alliance. That would I think that would be awesome for a Middle Eastern alliance that they can all work together to keep each other safe. Okay, I believe something like that may happen. Hopefully, right? I mean, NATO's gone to shit, so there's no point in making them part of that.
SPEAKER_02Well, you never know. I mean, it affects us all, like it really does. All these things really do. Because but we're trying to gain ground and keep the forward edge, and that's the important thing about America, and God bless America's like we want to always stay forward and always uh lead from the front. But not only that, we are like the edge, the tip of the spear, and we want to continue to push at the tip of the spear where no one can come at any cost around us, like we have it all moving forward, and we get ahead of everyone else and we keep it and we know how to, and it's pretty dope how we are. We're very quiet, swift, silent, and deadly. And that is interesting how that process works with us as our country. And I'm I'm grateful to to know some things about that and and also to to um to be part of that. I just pray that it's I hope that it's for good intentions, man. And uh no lives really, no more lives really get lost unnecessarily.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, that we never, you know, never want that.
SPEAKER_02Bad guys, you know, hey, you know, these kids they don't know any better. They just know put this vest on, go over there, clack, click. Yeah, you know, they don't, and that's sad. That's not their fault, you know. So God re God bless their soul and have mercy. But but when it comes to you or me, I mean, there's no choice. I'm sorry. You know, there's no choice. Somebody else is gonna be raising some other kids, I guess, in generations. I don't know what's gonna happen. I hope we can get the men that are behind that and that mindset, or just gonna happen.
SPEAKER_01They're just doing it in hopes that it's gonna make them hesitate or not do it, and then we're not gonna hesitate. We're gonna send drones in and swarms and we're gonna send it to the side. Well, that's what I said. That's their hope. That's how their thinking is that's sad, you know. They change their thinking just like this. But I mean, when it comes to like the our the government and what's going on, okay. So we've had all these problems with fraud and all this other crap and everything like that. Right. So one of the things that was that's been going on lately, and I don't know if you've caught anything on it, is um the Eric Swalwell scandal. Have you heard about that? I mean, I heard about him being, you know, he's a congressman from California. And he's really crappy. He hasn't achieved anything. Um, so he's I mean, I'm I shouldn't say he's crappy because I'm not a congressman and haven't achieved anything in that situation. Well, it's but no, come on, dude. That we can, you know, that is But when it comes down to it, you know, I mean he has no bills that he's created or anything like that, so he has nothing to really set as an achievement to his name.
SPEAKER_02Okay.
SPEAKER_01Okay. However, he's the person that was coming all out against Kavanaugh when his um selection process and everything like that was going on, and he was turned around and saying Kavanaugh was a rape, a gang rapist and crazy, crazy weird stuff. Well in 2018, so when that type of stuff was going on, he was actually drugging and uh sexually abusing or raping his own female staffers. What do you what? Yeah, and then and not one, not two, okay, as of now, there's been eight that have said so. And one of them, okay, one of them, they talked to her, it was it was actually on television through multiple different networks. People may have seen it, but when it comes down to it, she was actually giving an account of what happened, and she said that she had a drink, and then she doesn't remember anything, and she woke up in the hotel room and he was on top of her and everything, and he started strangling her, and then she passed out, and she actually thought she died. She didn't just go, Oh, I passed out, whatever. She thought she died at that moment. Okay. Wow. And then there was another situation where uh he was with uh this woman, she remembers nothing from the night. She wakes up in the morning and she knows that she had had sex. So, and anyone that's ever had sex, you can tell whether or not you've had sex the night before, you know. So when that happens, it's really, you know, complex complicated for someone to turn around and go, oh no, that was nothing, or you know, oh, it was something else, or whatever. And this isn't one or two, like I said, eight. Well, um so our own congressman is drugging and raping women. Oh, no, no. And he was running to be governor of California the when it came out, it took three days and he dropped his gubernatorial race. You know what?
SPEAKER_02I'm whatever. That's that's unfortunate, but too bad. Like, how dare you? That's not how dare you represent. I know we all like when you think about people and their ways, you know, do you judge? Well, I discern, and definitely having someone that runs something and and having them still at large without paying that penalty price for that, how dare you? You need to be paid the penalty needs to be paid on him, justice needs to be served on him. Not only that, like you do need to go to jail, sir.
SPEAKER_01Well, okay, so when it comes down to it, not only is that now being looked into, but there's also a uh situation that the DOJA is looking into, or DHS, one of the I don't remember which one. There's so many three-letter places, but um, he hired a Brazilian nanny and didn't have the proper paperwork for her. So he basically hired an illegal and then treated her like crap. I don't like I don't know, dude. Like, this is one of those people that says all women should deserve to be heard and all this other stuff, and but yet he's doing things and opposite.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I got you.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, when it comes down to it, I had issues uh when I was younger, and a friend of mine and me were accused. And the girl later came out six months later and said that she did it for attention. So, okay, but all the damage to any of our friends, family, everything like that had already been done. So um I very much believe that, you know, innocent until guilty, you know, so okay, he is, you know, accused right now. He isn't a rapist, he's an accused rapist. But but eight different accounts of different women. But still, when it comes down to it, and until it's proven, yeah, I know, it's it's just accusations. And the only reason I say that is because I've been accused. So I've been on that, on that in that situation.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, but you haven't been accused of eight different people though.
SPEAKER_01True. But I've been in the position of being accused, and as strange as it sounds, once you're accused, whether you're guilty or not, people really don't care.
SPEAKER_02I understand.
SPEAKER_01You know, that mark is on you, you know. And so, like I said, I I very much believe in the innocent till proven guilty, but you did you did make a point that you know mine was one, his was his is eight. Wow. So, but when you think about it, that was somebody who was representing people in Congress in California.
SPEAKER_02Well, we already we already know there's someone representing people in California, and you know, California definitely needs a revival, and that's all I have to say about that.
SPEAKER_01Well, the thing that I think is crazy is last time I checked by him drugging these women, that should be a criminal offense there. I know.
SPEAKER_02So you know, I hope things play out the way they should in the right way. Justice should be served and it will.
SPEAKER_01It well, it should be served, whether or not it will be between New York and California, that'll be interesting because New York and California. So when it comes down to it, technically, according to like what uh someone else would be, you know, for that many counts and everything, yeah, he should probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
SPEAKER_02You know, that's we we we we we hope for that for sure, you know?
SPEAKER_01Being in the car with one of his female staffers and then just uh undoing his pants and saying, Yeah, give me a blowjob. Like, what the what you're a congressman? Seriously? Yeah, man. I mean, it's crazy. It's like, how did you do anything to get elected or whatever? It's like, where is your likability?
SPEAKER_02No, just integrity, righteousness of a man. Man, that's crazy. That's unfortunate. And I I do hope, you know, we need to have some things change around in our country and things like that for sure.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, very true.
SPEAKER_02Let's talk about the after action review, though. That's what we're gonna get into right now.
SPEAKER_01Well, okay, so first and foremost, women need to be treated with respect, you know, and not just the respect of a time or at a moment at all times.
SPEAKER_02Correct.
SPEAKER_01Okay, it's not that's not a game and that's not a joke.
SPEAKER_02And don't let yourself be treated that way. That's not okay.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. For the women and stuff, don't don't let that stuff pass by as being okay. You know, not only, not only is it not okay, but men know better. Okay. Yeah. When it comes to mainstream stuff that's going on, I like I said, I mean, I don't know. It's kind of a new thing, Hassan Piker. But I would say look out for him. You know, he said some pretty crazy. I mean, dude, how can you live in America and say America deserved 9-11? I know. Like that that doesn't even make sense. That's right. Yeah, that shouldn't work, you know. And when it comes to, you know, everything in Iran, like you said, you know, we don't want to be in war. You know, that's not good. You know, but we have to be supportive.
SPEAKER_02Yep. Without a doubt. Definitely support our troops, man. 110%. 100%. They have no choice. Like they know, and they are they're doing their duty and their job, and God bless them and their sacrifices. Beautiful, beautiful uh military man that we have, man. God bless her, you know.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, they're they're doing what they're being asked to do. They're not there because they say they want to, because they're all like, yeah, this is what we want to do. They're there because it's their job.
SPEAKER_02Correct.
SPEAKER_01They don't get a choice. Correct.
SPEAKER_02And so not only they will show up and they will perform.
SPEAKER_01Yes. Our military, they will always show up 110%. And they will give it their all more than enough. And they'll kill everything. No, I'm just kidding. No, but when it comes down to it, they're always I mean, the lethality is up there, but it's also got an on-off switch. You know, when the military wants to totally destroy stuff, yeah.
SPEAKER_02They have extreme violence for sure, but then we have extreme passion, compassion. So yeah. I let me tell you though, what I I definitely look forward to this uh project podcast progress that you're talking about as well. I think it's gonna move me too. Just fine. I really hope the VA is a good thing. We can do more things that we're doing now, like and talking about these things that are current events and things going on in the world and things that we think of and support as veterans. I think it's important.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, it'll be really interesting too to see what other veterans decide to choose to create, you know.
SPEAKER_02Well, shoot, man. That means that they can go ahead and contact us.
SPEAKER_01Well, I mean, they would be able to, I mean, not only will we work with them through the program and everything like that, but I mean, they'll be able to make it about whatever they want, whatever their interests are. So letting their creative abilities, creative abilities reign, that'll be kind of fun.
SPEAKER_02And the way that we can figure that out, honestly, is how they contact us. They can contact us through bull and jrock at gmail.com. That's gonna that's one step. True. We can figure out how the creativity come through and fold and ideas that you have and topics, things that we can discuss later, future interviews, uh, you know, feedback is definitely needed.
SPEAKER_01Yes, we always appreciate the feedback, doesn't always go our way, but we do what we can. And if it you know you're ever in a situation where you feel like you need someone to talk to because you need a little guidance or you're not really sure about things, you should hit up um another podcast that uh we work on, which is bread of life with JJ at gmail.com. And from there you can contact and it's totally private, and everything, whatever you want to say, whatever you need to talk about, you can definitely get help from uh there.
SPEAKER_02You can chime in too, because the podcast we have there, bread of life for JJ. And um definitely give some encouragement if you need it.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, and and don't ever give up, don't quit, don't you know just think, oh, you know, it's never gonna happen, so you know, I might as well, you know, not take the time or whatever, take the time because you'll get something. You're not necessarily gonna be guaranteed the moon, you know, that's not the case, but as long as you don't give up, you'll get something. Now, something that I I do wanna bring up, and yeah, I know it's early, but um we're gonna do the annual blanket drive again. So that way, and the reason I'm starting it early is that way everyone has time to kind of get a budget going or whatever, and it's not last minute, and you feel like you know you're really squeezed on stuff because I know it's the holidays and stuff like that, so when that can happen, that would really help. And like I said, that's we're starting that now, and that'll go until December 12th. And for that, you know, if you want to get a hold of us, if you have donations, things like that. The uh bull and jrock at gmail.com, uh R O C N o K. Um, if you need to uh get us to pick up some blankets, or even if you want to help out, you know, we'd really appreciate it.
SPEAKER_02Those blankets go a long way, man. People feel very good inside. And it's a great time that we had at the the man house. So please reach out. Please reach out. We'll we'll definitely uh take your support and appreciate your support and go from there.
SPEAKER_01I think it's definitely gonna be fun to see how the future progresses. But until then, I know we got some other stuff that we gotta work on, so I I think you know, we'll let everyone go with that little bit of information that we put out, and you know, just how crazy the world's getting.
SPEAKER_02Tune in for more things. We got a lot more stuff, more content coming.
SPEAKER_01More interviews. Eh, come on. Yeah, we'll definitely be doing those. But until then, everyone, just be good to each other. You know, we're all humans and just treat each other as such. Don't look at all the differences.
