Episode Title: The Late For Changeover Show 29 May 2024
Date: May 29, 2024
I hope you bought the donuts one because you were late for changeovers. I’m your host Marty Smith and I’m joined by Mr. History Eric Perlot. Hey, the gang is all back tonight.
Our man in the closet, Jake Wall. Cheers from the closet. And our little mule is back, Juanita Lopez.
With all the donuts you guys want, so you let me know and I’ll be late every day. While I wouldn’t be donuts, it would probably be, what are the little cinnamon sticks that you guys got to make some churros. Churros.
We’re here to bring you the latest headlines and updates pertinent to all guardians and to our earthbound brothers as well, so take your seats, get informed and have a laugh as we present Late for Changeovers. You know, I never got the donuts thing, to be honest with you. You know, so I learned about that before I joined the military.
My supervisor was a retired senior and I remember the first time I was late. I called and said, hey, Chuck, I’m going to be late. He’s like, stop by for some donuts.
I was like, huh? So I did. And then he explained it to me as if I wouldn’t even call, they just picked up the donuts. My excuse was already there as I was thinking about the shop.
So I stopped by for some donuts and make sure that I hooked everybody up. Did you have that, Eric? If you were late, you had to go stop and buy donuts or something. Hey, it’s so counterintuitive because you’re trying to like, fuck, I’m almost there.
I’m like, get donuts, Marzil. Get donuts. Five minutes or a half hour.
It doesn’t matter. It was like an apology. Kind of.
The Hurts donuts over here on Hest, Marty. The Hurts donuts. Oh, sweet.
Oh, well, I’ve seen it. I haven’t been over there, though. Man, I took my grandkids there the other weekend and they had a key lime donut about that big.
And it was full. And man, about a 1200 calorie donut. What is that? What is that crazy donut place that’s like downtown? Cosmic donuts or something like that or whatever it is.
But it’s just like, let’s put as much crap as we can on every donut. I know donuts that they have like Lucky Charms on them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, it’s it’s almost like when Taco Bell comes out with something. It’s like, oh, the stoners were busy last night. They came up with a new food.
And it is like the same with the donuts. They’re like, oh, let’s try Lucky Charms. Look at that one.
All right. My grandson got a snicker donut. Oh, god.
Yeah. Those hurts donuts are so sweet. Like a standard blaze.
Yeah. It’s like a solid bowl of sugar. I remember watching or reading like the most calorie drink or something like that.
I think it was like Baskin Robbins and it was one of their coffees or something like that. Because they had so much stuff in it. And it was like 1100 calories.
Jesus Christ, man. Did you guys see the McDonald’s? The guy that did the McDonald’s supersize me passed away? Oh, that guy who did the documentary? Did he see another 30 day challenge? Because after a while he was doing 30 day challenge for everything. This was a 30 day for the McDonald’s and he passed away.
Oh, yeah. No, but he kept doing it. Yeah, yeah.
Oh, we did. Well, he finds something that works and I guess he’s just going to keep running into the ground, I suppose. Had to see him pass away, though.
Well, this Saturday, Jake and I went out to Silver Creek Shooting Club for a clay shooting event to sponsor Freedom Hunters and a group called The Houndsmen. Now, Eric and Juan were supposed to come. But they are both unavailable.
And it was a good event. It was fun. Ken Ramos from U.S. Army WTF Moments was there.
So we shot with him and talked about podcasting and talked about politics and talked about a whole bunch of other stuff. And had bouts of Jesus, Jake, you can’t miss. Jesus, Jake, are you opening your eyes? We went back and forth like every round.
I was like, holy shit, you were on. And then it was like, man, you just really fell off the board. That was written hours from the hip.
A good event, though. We’ve done in the past when it was just Freedom Hunters and Benelli wasn’t out there with their shotguns at every station. So that was kind of disappointing.
But you tell me if I’m wrong, Jake, but I thought it was a little less military vet this year and more like The Hunters this year. That’s exactly what it felt like. That’s not my dog.
So I was planning on that. I didn’t know how this was going to work. I was going to try to do some interviews and stuff.
But it kind of moved kind of fast. We didn’t really have a lot of chance to talk to vets and sit down with them for five, ten minutes. But we did get a little bit of video here.
Let me take this. It’s still rainbows. Yeah, Ken Ramos.
Ice. It was fun. It was just a little video from us.
Whoa, shit. Sorry about that. We’ve got Freedom Hunters back there.
We’ve got Brown. That’s a good club. Good Saturday morning to you.
This is a late for changeover. We have a friend, Ice, from… I didn’t realize how sensitive that mic was. U.S. Army WTF moments or is it Army WTF moments? Or is it WTF Army moments? It’s U.S. Army WTF moments.
People like to say WTF but don’t say WTF. You can just say WTF moments. Hello, I’m Jake.
We’re at the Silver Creek Shooting Club for Freedom Hunters and for the Houndsmen doing a skeet shoot fundraiser. And hopefully we can get some more interviews out here. We did stand that far back so they didn’t look that short.
And me. We’ll talk to you later. You made us look even shorter.
You look like a giant. Like you’re the size of the banners back there. It’s crazy.
Well, I didn’t realize… Well, I know what your height was, Marty, but I didn’t realize… Yeah, he was the same. Command Sergeant Major Rummel was the same. I walked up on him and I was like… What’s going on? So they have a Station 2. That was fun though.
I mean, they had some… When you see all the guys with their vests walking around, they’re like, Oh, he’s got… They’re the ringers, right? You know, it’s like when you play a golf scramble, right? And you go, Oh, you have a whole lot of towels on your bag. You must really be good. Or cornhole, your own bags.
Cornhole. That’s a good one, yeah. They had the designated like… They had golf carts, actually.
Yeah, yeah. That was… That was annoying. I mean, because we wish we had one, so… We’re over there pulling Marty’s collapsible cart.
That little way. Eating beef jerky and pulling that wagon all day, so… Yes. But here’s our closeout.
So we got a little message for you guys, so… Uh-oh. He’s playing absolutely everything we did, too. This was it.
I know. We didn’t do a lot. There was nothing else.
Okay, we just got done with the shoot. Hey, Marty. We hit everything we… No.
Every clay we shot at got broken. By the ground, mostly. Mostly by the ground.
Yep. You know, we’re going to watch this video, and we’re going to be like, who’s that guy sitting right between us? He’s good to do it. Allen’s been the guy representing.
Allen’s been… So I think most of it was about… I can’t even remember. They should have said the name of the proposition of the train to defeat… They don’t know for sure. In Colorado about the mountain lion band.
So a lot of the fundraiser was here for that. We’re waiting for the auction to see if we can win the pistol. Really holding out for the autographed NBA basketball.
Oh, nice. Looks like they got a weightlifting bikini up there, so Eric, you’re going to… Hey! Nice. And for one, we had Chipotle.
I just want to include you too. There’s no stereotype going on there. Probably excited about the basketball.
Yeah. He’s the best. He’s a baller from way back.
Yeah, that’s right. But honestly, it was a really good time. I had a fun time.
Yeah, it was fun. Shooting. Good weather.
And a can from WTF Army. Yeah. A lot of fun.
Yeah. So hopefully we can do this again. Yeah, smooth that shot up.
Yeah, that was good. Back to you guys in the studio. You like that, huh? Very good.
Very good. So yeah, it’s kind of the first time I ever used those things. And I guess it worked all right.
So it would be cool if there are other events that we could kind of remote out to. And Ken was talking about trying to get a bunch of podcasters together to sponsor something like that. So I thought that would be fun.
But to do it justice, this is what the houndsmen of Colorado. So it’s a national group, but they have a houndsman of Colorado. So this is the ballot initiative that they’re trying to defeat.
So ballot initiative number 91, prohibit trophy hunting. So the ballot initiative talks about not hunting mountain lions because they’re just trophies, right? But I haven’t read the specific parts that I’ve read. It didn’t break down specifically mountain lion links and all that.
It defined trophy hunting as specifically targeting one species or sex. But that’s every hunt you go on. You get a tag for a male deer.
You’re like, okay. That’s all you can shoot or you get fined. And in the verbiage, it was so vague in this ballot measure.
Yeah. They mentioned mountain lions, bobcats and lynx. So the conservative people are just trying to say, hey, stop shooting anything.
Really? Right. And houndsman comes out and says, we as houndsman know this statement is false and fear mongering at its core. We understand that ethical management of these species is crucial to our undulate populations.
I had to look that up. I think it means something like that. Right.
We also understand that management of mountain lions and bobcats is widely beneficial to reducing the effects of human and wildlife conflicts, whether it be for livestock’s sake or direct threat from these animals. Please, moving forward, know and understand your interactions online with the folks you talked to. We are stewards of conservation and should do our absolute best to be respectful and conscious of what we say and how we say it.
And there’s more to it on their website, houndsman of Colorado. But that’s the ballot initiative. And so they’re trying to stop you killing these predators.
But their point is these predators are vital to controlling the herds and controlling the ecosystem in Colorado. They have in California now, like they get mountain lion attacks all the time because they stop a lot of the hunting. Because they ban them.
Oh, yeah. And realistically, the only consistently like reliable, not even successful, but reliable way to do this mountain lions is to do it with hounds. Right.
That is trying to track down something that will climb 10 feet in 30 seconds or two seconds. By yourself? Yeah, right. Yeah, by yourself.
And they cover so much ground and they hide so well. It’s ridiculous. So we talked with the point of contact out there for the houndsman.
His name is Chris. I hope he comes. I gave him a card.
I hope he calls me back on. I told him we’d love to have you on the show. You know, present your present your case and what you guys do and let people hear about it.
So well, the ballot initiative also labeled or specifically mentioned using dogs with tracking collars. And a lot of the duck hunters use specific collars on their dogs just to retrieve and come back or if the dog goes too far. Oh, that part.
I didn’t know that. Yeah. So yeah.
Also start targeting. They would use that same verbiage. Sure.
To target duck hunting because that’s targeting a specific species. That’s using dogs with tracking collars. That’s why.
And if they get if they get traction on this initiative, then they can use this initiative to go everywhere else. They want to go. And that was the concern.
Yeah. Yeah. So it’s good.
It’s a good cause. Hopefully, Colorado defeats it. But you know, it’s tough call.
I mean, California didn’t like you said one. They’ve done it already. And now they got all these problems.
So New Jersey banned the hunting black bear. And now they have more black bear per capita than any other state black bears just starting brawls downtown. These small towns like.
And that’s what that’s what their their position was is like, let us take these predators out. So the birds don’t start like, hey, well, let’s go into the trash. You know, we got no food anywhere else.
Let’s go. And that’s what New Jersey is running into. Wow.
Yes. Remember when Colorado reinserted wolves. Yes.
They made a huge thing of it. Right. And they’re and they’re finding wolves in states that have not reinserted them.
Yeah. Because they’re bringing them running. Exactly.
And so it’s ridiculous. Impacts not soul animals either. So yeah, again, more unintended consequences.
So it’s just I mean, we don’t know. You know, we pretend like we know all this stuff. But in reality, we don’t know exactly how to manage all this.
This wildlife. Right. Right.
I mean, you take the big thing from the past. It’s like, hey, we hunted buffalo in the next nation. Okay.
That’s not grounds to go after everything else from here on out. Right. Also, though, we hunted buffalo in the extinction or they hunted buffalo in the extinction to remove the the prevalent food source of the Comanches in the in the northern Texas, Oklahoma area.
Yeah. So they did it on purpose. The military thing.
Yeah. To kind of try to tamp down the enemy at that time. Yeah, that’s true.
But they went clearly. They went too far. That’s not what the revenant taught me.
Yeah. The revenant taught me. For the railroad purposes too, right? Yeah.
Yeah. To get the herds out of there. Plus she had just wild guys back there.
Go shoot 30 of them and get out of my face. Would you please? Yeah. So, oh, and the auction.
Man, the crowd we were there was just dropping bills on these auction items, man. It was crazy. For for being on folding chairs in a hangar and not holding an actual auctioneer.
They literally took a volunteer and he. I’ve never seen it where they start. I never saw that either.
And then they start going back up. Well, they need to be like five hundred. Right.
Five hundred. Five hundred. Four hundred.
Four hundred. He would go down to somebody raise their hand. Two fifty.
Two twenty five. I was like, that was a pretty clever tactic, actually. You know.
Because you kind of, you kind of guilt. There’s a guilt that comes in. It’s like, well, I’m not fine.
Five four. Four hundred. We should really help them out.
But he was saying the first thing they auctioned off these six bottles of whiskey and then you got a a raffle under the there was a ticket under each bottle of whiskey to win this big like cake kind of bar dispenser or something. So and these whiskies weren’t, you know, they looked like anything you could see in the liquor store. But the one guy, I think he bid four fifty five hundred dollars on one bottle of whiskey and they’re like sold.
And he’s like, put it back in. So again, right now. And they did that with about three bottles.
I think they resold them one. They resold like three times. And we’re looking around and Jake made this comment.
We were like Caddy Day and Caddy Shack out there with some of these shooters are like who invited these sons of bitches, right? These shooters, like if they didn’t have vests, they had the button up. Right with the freaking shoulder pads. Yeah.
Yeah. All the trapping ski equipment, right? And the outfit to go. And we’re sitting there.
We’re pulling a wagon. Yeah. So when we got in there, I mean, but these these guys look like, you know, regular Elizabeth guys, you know, some, you know, on a farm or retired or something like that.
But they’re throwing a thousand bucks. You know, they’re throwing hundreds of dollars at this auction. I was like, good on them.
I keep going. I wish I had managed my money. I could do that.
But no, I’m I just got a job. Yeah. But then they raised some money.
Yeah. Super cool. Yeah, it was cool.
Yeah. So, you know, hopefully next year we can all do it. Yeah.
Something like the cost was well worth it to those folks. I think so. You know, I would like to see freedom hunters step up a little more because freedom hunters, they’ll take disabled people and take them on hunts.
So if you’re in a wheelchair, but you used a deer hunt, they’ll be like, come on with us. And they’ll arrange it. If they’ll get you in the stand, you know, you can actually go shoot.
They put you in some child proof backpack on the biggest guy. We got a legless son of a bitch over here. All the hunts and stuff in Texas.
Yeah. Yeah. They do a lot of stuff.
Load them in the back of the truck. Just shoot from the truck, man. I thought that was what they did for armadillos.
Isn’t that what they do for the armadillo hunts? It’s just like, you know, a bear in one hand and you’re written our arm from the hip. Getting armadillos. Coyotes.
Same way. All right. Juan is tired.
Let’s get let’s get go with the news here so you can go back to his nap. The nap hit him hard. He’s no recovery from that.
We’ve all done that. You wake up from a nap and you’re like, well, just can’t get back. Right.
Right. Right. For high school.
Oh, my God. This first story is from stripes dot com. All right.
And we have a couple of guys here that I want to get a opinion on. So this is from the Orlando sentinel. The space force training headquarters.
Starcom gets official approval to come to the space coast. The decision has been a year in the making. But the space coast.
It’s funny. They keep calling the space coast Florida. Right.
They keep calling space coast. Well, it’s Cape Canaveral and Melbourne. And Patrick.
Space coast will officially become a home of Starcom. The training headquarters for space force. Patrick Space Force Base in Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
Both former. How far apart are those two? They’re pretty close, right? They’re right there. Melbourne.
They’re on the same coast. Both former air force facilities were named in May 2023. The presumptive home for Starcom, which stands for space training and readiness command.
It’s one of three space force field command units. Similar to an air force air command. Senator Marco Rubio confirmed the decision was made final posting.
Congratulations on X. Great news for Florida. Patrick Space Force Base has received final approval to become the permanent headquarters for Starcom. Bolstering Florida’s growing leadership in space.
Rubio posted last Tuesday. Starcom is responsible for the deliberate development, education and training of space professionals in addition to the development of space war fighting doctrine, tactics, techniques and procedures and the operational tests and evaluation of space force systems. That sounds like it came right out of an OER, didn’t it? Starcom for now is run out of Peterson Space Force Base in Colorado.
One of the space forces’ overall headquarters is based in Washington at the Pentagon, along with other headquarters of the nation’s armed forces. The Orlando Sentinel reached out to Starcom for details about the timeline and personnel planned for the headquarters moved to Brevard County, but as yet to hear back. So they’re like, hey, we’re going to Patrick.
When? Hey, we’re going to Patrick. You know with the names, with all the acronyms, it sounds like they reached out to William Shatner and said, I know, I know. Tell us what we should call this new training command.
That one, that one is not so far fetched, right? It’s a space training and requirements. What is it? Space training. It’s not so bad.
Space training and readiness, right? I mean, I’m telling you, everything came right out of frickin’ Star Trek. I’m telling you. But did you know that the Delta though, the Delta, the space Delta, actually was conceived from the military.
That was never a Star Trek. No, Star Trek’s off center, right? It’s not a… No, no. A lot of people who’s old at Delta, they took it now.
No, because it’s a… Okay, that’s fair. But with the name and the beam and me up Scotty emblem that they wear. Man, come on.
But what’s funny is that’s just going to be the headquarters. Eric, don’t be so salty. I got a couple Security Forces stories for you later.
All right. But it’s only going to be like so far from everybody I’ve spoken to and even the SCL that got selected for that. It just sounds like so far it’s just going to be the headquarters guys.
And this is training still going to be at Vandenberg. And then you’re going to have… Well, sure. But yeah, it’s going to be off, right? Yeah, officer trainings.
I don’t know if you guys know, but those space two hundred space three hundred of those advanced forces, they all got mixed. And now they’re going to have back to back training at Peterson for the officers. There’s going to be 12 classes every year.
So it’s going to be all the officer training. But now they’re not going to be dedicated to one mission. They’re going to be generalist.
They’re going to get trained for space, cyber and intel now. So it’s going to be over a year. Well, Jake was mentioning that NSSI is gone, right? It’s no war, right? And so they’re folding all that curriculum into STARCOM, Eric, into STARCOM.
All right. Let’s stop it because we’re going to make fun of it. No, we’re not going to make fun of it.
And we have no defense. So stop beating us up, all right? Would you? Now, STARCOM is going to be Space Force’s ATCA. I mean, that’s essentially what it’s going to be.
So eventually they’re going to go. Jake, you said they’re going to do basic, but the first would be their tech school, right? So their tech school’s got to be out there when they get spun up. I honestly don’t know.
Like there was rumors that they were going to move basic out there to Patrick. But I don’t know. You’re talking about your first stage of your training for a space guy, right? The tech school.
Okay. Space Force basic training was supposed to, rumored, move to Patrick. Well, it’s at LACO.
I wonder how many, I wonder what Space Force’s new recruit quota is, right? I mean, you’re not talking about the numbers of any other service. So it’s going to be low numbers for every basic training class, right? Marines have two basic training bases. That’s right.
Yeah. That’s right. That’s right.
It’s not a number either. So it’s got to, I would imagine it’s got to follow in that same model. So you could move it out there.
You know, I mean, they’re not running anymore. They’re just, I mean, it’s like, hey, run over there and get in line for your Apple Watch. Yeah.
I’m not, I’m not trying to get ahead in one of the topics that you’re going to talk about. But besides the beer, the weight standards, when I go on base and I see these guys in uniform. I’m just like, those buttons are streaming.
They’re like, it’s, it’s all heart rate, man. It has nothing to do with weight. It’s all heart rate.
I mean, that’s, they’re like, hey, you look out of shape and they’re like, no, I’m not. Look at my watch. It checks how active you are throughout the day.
And then if it says you’re, you’ve been active. I still think that we should do that bit where Jake, the first sergeant calls the guy in and is like, Hey, you know, you were really active at one in the morning last night. I was like, oh yeah, my watch was going crazy.
I was like, yeah, we, we see the results. And also your government charge card has a whole lot of OnlyFans charges at the same time. So, I don’t know how long this is going to take because that’s a whole shit load of personnel.
They got to get out there, right? Probably the infrastructure is probably the least of it, you know, because there’s so much out of Patrick right now. What do you do with all the Vandenberg stuff, all the stuff that’s in there? That’s true. There’s simulators and stuff and, and all that.
But I think, I think those have been de-emphasized over the last decade where it’s pushed down to the unit now more, where you go and you get some basic train, basic stuff, and then the unit will fill out your, the rest of your training rather than trying to match a simulator for every system that they got out there. So, I think they’ve been de-emphasizing that. I don’t know.
I don’t know. I wonder how that’s working out. I was always suspect about that.
Right. I’ll tell you. So, I was like, part of the, I was there when they were talking about getting rid of all the simulators.
I got to Buckley, Wendy. All right. Cool.
It’s only space 100. O-U-S-T-E-U-S-D. They keep changing all the time, right? I would tell you that it brought a lot of bad habits to the instructors that were at the unit.
Because at least when you go through the formality of ATC, you learn how to teach, you learn not to speak in jargon. You could, you know, you’re like, I remember getting, seeing new recruits when I was in the job when I got back. And the brand new instructors that never went through any formalities, they were just firehosing these kids that never been like, this is like their, their first, their first duty station.
And firehosing all these acronyms and stuff. And I had, I always had to pull people aside. It’s like, hey, these are brand new people.
They’re talking to them in French. Like, you got to get back to bases when you’re doing this, like. Well, and your instructor or student ratio is shit.
Yeah. So, I mean, because you’re just, I mean, Vandenberg’s just like, go your unit. And now you got 30 guys, 20, whatever it is, coming in, all waiting for training.
And you’ve got a handful of instructors and you’re like, God dang. They’re always complaining about the recency of training, right? Like, yeah. Oh, you’re not as proficient or in theory because you’re not 30 seconds off the ops floor, you know? But there’s something to be said about being isolated and being strict with your curriculum and strict with your instructors and not having any actual ops floors or operational commanders or anything else going on other than training.
Right, right, right. You know, and I and I knew that would get washed down. But as soon as the local commanders start putting pressure on things.
Well, yeah. I mean, when you’re in Vandenberg, you’re in a pristine environment. All you need to do is learn the system, learn your job.
You go to the unit and do that same training and they’re like, hey, we got a mandatory formation. Oh, we’re all off on Friday. Oh, we got a four day weekend.
And all of a sudden, now your training is like, what the fuck? Oh, why am I at this event? I supposed to be training and they’re like, oh, for you guys, you had MTLs that were taking care of these guys. That’s a good point. Yeah, that’s true.
The MTLs knew that they had appointments. They knew that what was going on. They would handle all the frickin extracurricular activities like any frickin punishment like that.
And the students were isolated and still kind of They were supposed to concentrate on training. Right. And they’re coming down off a basic.
You literally took somebody from basic and did 100 and then just go to the frickin Denver. Well, go to Denver. Yeah.
Or go to Colfax. You know, you’re like, holy shit. I’ve always liked this.
Hey, welcome to your unit, whether it’s the second space morning squadron, but they went for service training. They already have a foundation of that weapon system. So at least I know when I start speaking in Jargon or these acronyms, they know what I’m talking about.
You don’t have that. Eric, there used to be when we were governed over by the 21st and they would do inspections all the time. But they used to have a mirrored system to the actual ops floor at Buckley.
They had that system out of Annenberg. So if you did an update to the Buckley system, you had to do an update to the Annenberg system. So in order to, when you were training, this is the most current thing that you’re training.
And there was a simulator not emulator. So you could connect live comms to it and you could do operations. It was everything you could do with the unit.
It was impressive. But no, it took, it was a labor to keep that thing updated and it was expensive to keep that thing updated. Gotta end that out.
It was. But if you did an update over here, you had to budget in another hundred thousand to go update Annenberg. You know, something like that.
Right, right. And as soon as they started relaxing that, I mean, GPS guys can tell you that they’ve had an emulator forever. In fact, Kevin Reed talked about doing his GPS training where they would do a printout of a screenshot and go, your screen says this and hand it to him.
It’s like a piece of paper with a printout. It’s like, oh, okay, I’m supposed to respond to this like it’s coming up on my monitor. So for anybody out there, any actual civilians that have made it 40 minutes now, and they’re like, we’ve got some of the best trained military in the world.
And so we do. Yeah, compared to. If you can imagine you going into your first job and saying, hey, this is really like people will die if you don’t do this.
And then them sliding you a fucking printout is react as if it’s on the console. What the fuck? Marty, you told us that about a couple of years when they didn’t have enough rounds, enough. we’re pulling primers instead of shooting rounds.
You’re shooting blanks. Well, basically, while every one other person, one out of 10 or one out of six is shooting an actual round. Right.
I’d like to imagine, Eric, and they’re like, hey, you come around the corner and you see this. Hold up. What do you do? And it’s on the baby.
Did you shoot? It’s on the baby. Did you shoot or not shoot? Okay. That’s crazy.
And so that’s that’s that’s a great point, Jake, to put it in perspective for other for other people. So where you’re, you know, the quality of your training and then if they’re not good, then you’re going to go into retraining and you lose that person off the floor even more. So I can’t imagine like welding or like a medical team like I understand discussing medicals.
Sure. What do you do? Game operations, maybe. I don’t know.
Oh, yeah. Very good. That would be an emulator one.
Yeah, an emulator. Yeah, you’re welding and you smell this. What do you do? Fire in the microwave.
So anyway, they’re all excited about Starcom going up there and God damn it. Like you like you guys said in the pre-show, the, you know, property prices are going to go. I mean, we were what base were we talking about where they were living in RVs because they didn’t have enough housing.
And now you’re going to influx. That was Virginia. Yeah.
And now you’re going to influx Patrick with Starcom headquarters and then more students. They’re like, you know, weather’s great here. You could sleep on the beach if you wanted to.
Take your tent. It’s your tent. It’s a big tent.
It’s a four man tent. So, you know, if you’ve got a family. Plenty of room.
Plenty of room. At least you could go on the beach in Florida. You know, it’s not like they got snowy Plover problem out there.
Snowy Plovers. Oh yeah. Okay, so go on.
Like a sand newt or something. They’ll come up with something because there’s more government there. They’ll come up with something.
Sand flea. Yeah, exactly. All right.
They use less articles of clothing. Feed the please guys. Oh my God.
I could not imagine with all the distractions that are going on. Okay. This next story is proof that apparently the number one topic and that is concerning the U.S. military today is beards.
My God, we keep talking about beards. So, Congress is now involved, right? From stripes.com. Military beards gain new momentum as House panel OKs and Air Force pilot program for beards, not a pilot beards. It’s a pilot program.
Lawmakers took steps this week toward making beards acceptable in the military with the House Armed Services Committee. This is the most important thing they have to do. That’s what your tax dollars taken care of right there.
The House armed cheats from freaking we got a much more pressing issue. We’re talking beards here. Okay.
Ukraine can sit the Gaza pair that’s not working. That could be honest. If we were in right now our last couple of years and say, hey, you could wear beards.
You’re telling me you’re not going to do it. Yeah. But but part of that is like this is the number one request.
Yeah. Quality of life. I was like, I’ve never sat with a group of military guys like, yeah, this life would be so bad.
I could grow my beard. Black mold and freaking fuel in our waters bullshit. I could deal with all that bad shit.
If I had a beard as fast as who cares about that? We survive without a beard for the years of military service. I think I think if they’re worried say that again. I can stand to do the podcast in my closet because of my beard.
That’s a good point. I don’t even have a full beard. But I’ve seen you with a full beard and that that silver fox shit is that’s good looking man.
That’s fucking good looking. The House Armed Services Committee approved a proposal directing the Air Force to run a selective three-year pilot program that could lead to permanent approval. An amendment in the draft 2025 National Defense Authorization Act that was adopted unanimously by the committee Wednesday would require the Air Force to study the impact of allowing Air Force and Space Force members in certain units to grow beards.
So most of the other forces despise the Space Force a lot. Now watch them walking around with full beards and you don’t think they’re going to hate them even more. And most of the other branches are questionable on the freaking Air Force even.
Sure still. Right. Whole chair force mentality.
Right. Right. With between Army and Navy and Marines they’re like oh the chair force okay.
You know if there if there is one force that is glad the Space Force was created it’s the Air Force because they’re like whew that’s a whole lot of pressure off us. Well we got a we got rid of a lot of nerds. Second of all look how dumb they are guys.
We’re the real bridge now. They’re fat nowhere beards. Look at them.
Look at them. They count this as doing PT. PT.
What were you saying Juan? I’m saying that we’re talking about now the House committee approved this for your program. But they’re already doing it. They don’t need to need this thing.
They already have beards gone based. Well yes but this is now well hold on hold on this is all this study here you know explain it. So they adopted unanimously by the committee Wednesday require the Air Force to study the impact of allowing Air Force and Space Force members and certain units to grow beards.
Selection of the units for the pilot program will be up to the Air Force Secretary who was directed in the legislation to assure that the units picked are quote located in geographically diverse areas and perform various missions. The service would be required to submit an initial report to Congress within a year at the start of the program followed by a final report at the end of the Air Force Secretary or final report at the end of the three years with the Air Force Secretary’s recommendation on whether to make the program permanent. Now I will take odds on whether that Air Force Secretary goes you know this didn’t work out no beards.
Oh can you imagine that? Bullshit he’ll never say that right. The door is already open. Yeah.
Because you go through any checkpoint on base guaranteed one out of three. Yeah. Those guys are going to have some sort of just like that picture I showed you the guy checking ID’s I was like yeah.
What is that? He’s not he doesn’t his face doesn’t look irritated. He’s a white guy. You know he’s he’s fine.
You know the food truck these guys wearing hair nets on their chin now. Those are probably the only clean shaving guys. I’m going to I’m going to Montgomery.
You can’t do that can you? I went to Montgomery on the 21st to do a first salute for one of the guys I supervise. He actually called Oh nice nice. And I was like cool let me get my uniform together.
It’s like you know I’m shaving my beard for this right. He’s like no no don’t worry about it everybody has a beer it’s like dude I’m not going to be that whole thing. I’ll shave like it’s actually I think it’s an honor that you asked me to do it you know.
Right. But now you are old school one. You only retired a couple of years ago.
You’re old school. Really got back in his uniform and he shaved. Full shave.
I was like really. I’m not going to I’m not going to lie to you though. You know how you get the little angel and the devil.
You know the little that was like hey dude don’t worry about it don’t shake. Nobody’s going to ask you anything. I will.
That’s true. Put your retiree pin on. I will by God.
No but but why did you shave for that thing? So but I’m going to do it. I’m going to go baby face. Get my hair cut do everything.
You have to blow back. I’ve seen people do first salutes. There’s going to be the third time I do a first salute in the ceremony.
So I’ve seen people do it without uniform and they were prior military is like to me. Yeah that was that was lazy. So I want to that was I’m going to do it but yeah this is coming off.
I was thinking about the mustache but it’s all coming off. Well you tell him because you saved your beard it’s going to cost you two silver dollars. Oh that’s right.
Good call man. Good. Yeah that’s good.
All right. Let me read this last of it so I can make Eric through mad through the roof. The reports that Congress is asking for would evaluate whether beards affect the airtight seals of gas masks or similar equipment and whether beards improve inclusivity for those with shaving waivers based on skin conditions or religious beliefs.
Well yes I mean the answer to that is yes. If everybody’s got a five o’clock shadow or a beard then nobody’s going to be eluded because of a shave an actual shaving wave. By the way the point of contention here World War One Adolf Hitler his mustache became the mustache because he was gassed and his gas mask did not seal properly around his face.
No shit so that’s why he cut it down? He cut it because whoa. Okay. Mr. history is a good pull.
I like it. Guess what? You know who wore a fucking mask all the time and had the famous ass mustache in the Air Force. Robin Olds.
Rocking the fucking mustache. He wasn’t a bitch like Adolf Hitler. He had that massive mustache.
He had his pilot’s mask on and he was still shooting the fuck out of people. Yeah but we’re talking about World War One gas mask. But you know it’s almost like these days is putting a World War One gas mask on.
It’s almost kind of like hey fine grow your beard but if your mask doesn’t seal that’s on you dude. You’re going to die. And that first gas attack everybody was like fuck the beard.
You know I was on intensive care man. I could not breathe. Everybody’s got fucking throat beards.
Nothing but turtle necks. Clean shaven like an omniscient shit. Holy shit.
That’s good. Yeah they’re like oh yeah. We suffered through that thing.
Yeah I’m good bro. Brother Joe. He did.
You know. He’s a guy. Hey.
Hardest for your program. Then the people growing up in the years they have to go to the gas chamber. Yeah I’m with it.
Honestly. Yeah I’m with it. Right on.
Lastly these reports would examine the impact that beards have on discipline morale and unity as well as identify any negative perceptions that they have or biases toward members with beards. So the amendment it hasn’t been passed yet but the amendment was introduced by representative Mark Vesey Democrat from Texas. All right.
I find this to be the biggest waste of time that I’ve ever seen. It’s involved. We talked about it last week when you were here Eric there was a first sergeant I think who had a tiktok video about how he had been denied leadership opportunities because of his shaving waver.
He never referred to it as a beard. He referred to it as a shaving waver. But he posted his picture his official military picture just you know glorious.
You know. And he’s like yeah I’m getting denied. It’s like well you got fucking 200 years of military looking at you you know they’re not going to turn on a dime right.
They’re not going to get used to that. That’s right. And I still don’t see the reason to change.
I’m not against change if it makes sense. Yeah sure. Don’t tell me that this isn’t for retention and recruitment purposes like we talked about early on.
I think I think you know it is. I think it absolutely is. Yeah it’s absolutely is.
It’s changed too. You can have tattoos. Well if you watched actually I should have cut that part up from us last week Jake.
If you watched or watched us last week because Jake correctly corrected me and I was like hey did we change that much from World War II to Vietnam and he’s like yeah they’re draft. It’s like oh yeah good point. Yeah we were taking dregs of the earth into the Army man.
That’s for sure. Yeah that’s a small change. Yeah that wasn’t good one so.
I don’t know. We’ll see how many more stories we get about beards but it’s all over social media and people are hyper aggressively defending beards you know. It was like just because you have a beard doesn’t mean you’re not a great leader.
It was like yeah I got you. Yeah I mean It doesn’t make you a great leader if you have one either. Yeah it was like just because you got a DUI doesn’t mean you’re not a great leader.
It was like well yeah you are part of the time. So. Unbelievable.
Alright let’s get into Eric’s wheelhouse here since we talked a bunch of space stuff for months for months. So I’m finally calitailing to Mr. History here. Let’s breach something.
So this story is from task and purpose. This air force security team can breach an impenetrable skiff in one minute. It’s impenetrable though.
It’s well not anymore. Okay let me read this and then I’ll show you some videos. When the air force security team has developed a kit.
So there’s a company called a rapid assault tools. Right so these air force guys I think through afworks you know through that idea thing. They partnered with them and specifically trying to get into skiff doors.
So an air force security team has developed a kit of portable hydraulic breaching tools that they say can break into some of the most secure rooms on most military bases. A skiff or a sensitive compartmented information facility. The steel and concrete reinforced bunkers that store the military’s deepest secrets.
And you know I’ve been in a lot of skiffs I haven’t seen I haven’t seen the deepest secret. Especially when you’re like a ninety five percent of this skiff stuff at Sibbers is out on the internet. Well when you start talking more of the SAP staff in the skiff and different rooms.
I hear you. I hear you. But it’s not necessarily like I think Kennedy assassination is the country’s deepest secret.
After five years of tinkering and practice including building their own skiff doors to practice on a team with the 6th Security Forces Squadron at Make Deal in Florida says they can now break into or breach a skiff in less than a minute should a crisis arise inside one. Now I’ve been in many skiffs and I don’t know of any crisis that had to have somebody from the outside break into. So these guys might be manufacturing a reason to go hey we got to get in there.
No. There might be. We need to let’s build something to break the F down.
I mean well here’s the thing though think about it we’ve been around skiffs and stuff and then like the protocols to get in there right and then what you could have not have inside the skiff. Actually you know when I was telling my story about when I was an augmented cop right. Right right.
But here’s the thing is so somebody has. Well I like your one. Remember that.
It was just a coffee getter. But if somebody if somebody is going with malicious intent. I mean they might lock everything out or maybe or maybe those doors actually close.
Now even think about that Marty. Think about if I was a okay. active shooter and I walked into Buckley.
Yeah. I could literally walk past a badging area. Walk to the next doors.
But pull that pin spin that combo. That’s right. That door is locked from the outside and.
Oh yeah. Good point. Yeah.
Okay. All right. I’m in that facility.
And these guys can’t get up. You’re either you’re either actively like then there’s no first responders coming. That’s a good point.
Wait a minute now. Back back this there is you guys realize that on every skipped door that you’ve been in there is a key bypass. Yes.
If you look at it so that key becomes the level of classification that’s inside that’s stored inside and it’s also stored at another location. So if that happens they can grasp that key and open the door. Not immediately on site though right Eric? No.
Yes. On site. I don’t know anybody on site who had that.
I knew we could call you guys for that. Well that’s what I’m talking about. A security person.
Oh yeah. Yeah. With the key.
But the crew is going to go fucking the Lord of the Flies in there until they figure it out. They’re like wow. Well Jake was saying that from the inside you spend it that whatever I don’t know knob thing that that’s silver knob.
Yeah. Locks it and then locks it. It does.
It does. Once you depress that. So Eric I was working in exercise and it was being ran out of Oklahoma but I was here at Shriver right? Okay.
And I was at I had open and closed facility privileges and in the evening the security would leave. They weren’t there all night. Oh really? Were they contract security or? Yeah they’re contractors.
When they left they knew I was in the facility and I had there was a team of two of us. They knew I was in the facility. They forgot and they activated the motion sensor.
Oh no. So the first time I go and I go to the bathroom to the restroom I come back and go back into my skiff like there’s nothing going on. Next thing you know I got a phone call.
These guys are No the cops couldn’t get in. Oh They don’t have to get in. Check this out now in most places to include in the contractor world not just on base it’s a response time they have to meet.
They don’t have to get in. Oh Because they’re positioned outside the door and you don’t walk out with classified. Yeah We did our job.
That’s what it was but they were there that they were there to talk to me. Yeah Hostily Most times most of the times on the military installations where we had control over Yeah and we took you out in handcuffs Oh but they couldn’t get in. That’s the thing All right They had to ask me to leave in order to put the handcuffs on me and they’re like No Go away Well they wouldn’t have to bypass the rescue They hold those up to the camera and they’re like Look what we got for you when you come out I do understand the need for breaching the door Sure There are some threats that can construct Yeah It was fun because they give you that one specific number that you have to add up to You know like Oh I hated that Yeah I hated that Yeah But they gave me that number like 9 months ago Right? And then the cops were like 12 Or I was like Fuck off dude I honestly don’t remember this It’s your authentication number Okay All authenticating The authentication number The answer’s still the same man And there’s still no what the fuck you want me I’ll come out He’s like Come out I want your ID in your left hand I want your right hand Oh Okay dude Fine You’ll see in the contractor world and Marty knows this This gives off You’re not going to re-encounter that Those places will not have a police present coming because it costs for a cop response from downtown So normally the security guy gets called to investigate what’s happening at this shift Yeah but you’re getting overtime for that So you’re getting additional calls Right? In addition Yeah Yeah Yeah So I think it falls frequently man Gordon Steltzer owner and CEO of Rapid Assault Tools who work with six SFS officials to develop these skiff breaching tools He said quote Up to this point they had no fast reliable way of getting into a skiff if there is an emergency on the inside Without these tools they were requiring about 45 minutes to get into a skiff We’re in within a minute So let me read this real quick Skiff doors walls and locks that secure them resemble bank vaults or armories and fall under a thick set of rules and specifications Requirements for deadbolt and combination locks approved for skiff used for approved for skiff use include passing a strength test of 600 pounds of force directly on the bolt followed by a second 200 pound test without any damage plus a direct strike test of 600 pounds against the door it secures A lock must also operate in temperatures as low as minus 10 and as high as 158 degrees Fahrenheit Finally, it must absorb 5 electric shocks of 250 kilo of wattage so that’s what the requirements for the skiff is they also cost like 25,000 so the company build its own doors as like test beds so the tool is powered by a backpack with a battery motor and pump bar the hydraulic oil provides power to the tools while the battery provides power to an electric motor for energy that’s cool Steltzer Steltzer said the system he said can attack a skiff door two ways Plan A is called a door pusher in which a tool pulls the door open using high force and hydraulics to break the lock Plan B for the tool was the easier way to attack a door is a hinge puller that pulls the hinges out so the opposite side of the door could be open so I’ve got a couple of videos here they’re short videos oh a question why would you need to go through the door you could go through a window that only has skiffs have no windows man come on windows skiffs are not supposed to have windows well they can have windows as long as they’re on the second floor tinted no can’t see across so it’s not reinforced with like unbreakable glass no most of the skiffs I know are you know there are no windows no cell phones no nothing I’m going back to Buckley that’s how Buckley is that’s the thing Eric he’s talking about military base installation skips we’re talking about corporate building skips yeah that’s a good point yeah I know both have ability to have windows in them yeah but this I have not been in a military one that’s that’s had windows I see the 705 now allows windows he’s good this guy’s good that’s an intelligent community directive you should explain that to these pigs and they could have just frickin had a glass break but the windows are tinted and they have a film which allows prevents you know yeah not just shattering but anything coming off oh the I got you the visibility thing yeah so this is rapid assault tools from their website it’s not the actual skiff door thing but it does show the mechanism that they’re using so this is the first one now at the heart of this system is a 10,000 PSI electro hydro god damn 10,000 we have the fastest retraction on the market which is really important for multiple breach scenarios if you think about like a vestibule door in a commercial facility and then you’ve got the apartment door or whatever behind it you can breach multiple sets of doors very quickly so everything’s very linear very controllable it’s almost like the jaws of life with the fire department very much so yeah very much so and this is the kind of this is what they’re rock and roll music so so that’s how that’s how it works right ooh break that shit down wow yeah that’s very cool so it’s not going behind the frame it’s behind the it’s just on the jam yeah yeah that’s right and this one I think is the the frame spreader I don’t so that was just pushing apart the frame yeah and then the doors got no purchase right that’s pretty cool so uh well tell us Eric you were on a you went to a breaching course right you were on a breaching team right we were back then and I don’t know if the Air Force still does it was called emergency service teams where they responded to their own emergency situations on the installation because Posse Comitatus it wasn’t going to get there in time that’s my favorite Latin phrase so we you know went through most of their training SWAT training with different PDs and also how to breach and all we did was you know I can’t remember the name of it but we had one of the fire department’s crowbars with the fork on the end and the sledge as well and then we had a two handle ram centricle ram it was about this weighs about a hundred pounds yeah you had to throw around we had nothing electronic to breach oh really which was really cool yeah there were courses where you would do like special forces that use syntax and wires oh yeah and closers to blow the jams off the door yeah we didn’t do anything uh it’s amazing that that thing’s all contained in a backpack that’s cool you know the power the the oil the pneumatics is it’s pretty amazing and they went with the Air Force suggestion program too right yeah they went they did this because they had they do a lot of stuff with fire and police obviously so most of that video that I cut out was a lot of fire and police breaching so these guys were always epic deals we’re like hey let’s hook up with these guys through AFworks that suggestion program with funding behind it and said let’s develop something that can that will take 600 pounds of force to open this door you know uh you know so we can get Jake out of there because he’s waving from the window he’s setting microwave popcorn on fire left or right eight minutes all right I’ve got a I’ve got a surprise for Eric that I didn’t send out to you guys so a month ago uh the National Guard the 135th the 134th Air Reserve Wing sorry National Guard Air Reserve Wing uh refuel I’m sorry 134th Air Refueling Wing Security Forces Defenders they partnered with the Blount County Sheriff’s Office to conduct tactical weapons training on the BCSO’s firing range uh back at the beginning of May oh yeah so I thought I’d uh pump up our guardian a little bit nice pump up your defender with your guardian look at the few PSE’s and went over uh weapons tactics and training so they worked on uh transition fires how are all these security forces guys so big hey Eric is that moustache and rakes you know you saw that you know you saw it they’re reservists no baby my focus on the training is I wanted there to be a lot of uh moving and shooting you know whenever you’re moving and shooting so it’s a good take away to just start building that modernization process I’d like for them to have a strong buy in to why we train the way we do look at that stash that is good he’s good we are the best security forces look at that and it’s because of these training days and our partnerships is what allows you can we do that training yeah you know who I did my training with sort special operations response training you know who put that on department of corrections whoa really yeah so we did a two week course with them at the Air Force Academy yeah where you slap out there and they beat your ass for two weeks and then how to breach rooms how to enter rooms slice a room with your weapon not showing your fatal tea it was it was it was basically SWAT stuff but then they got down to the minuscule of how to extract a prisoner out of a cell a jail cell oh no shit yeah it was it was way cool that’s the hardest thing hey baby oil say it with baby oil well between between football and these schools I don’t know when you were ever doing your actual hell of a career though it was a lot of fun man I did some cool shit I did that’s awesome I’d love to hear more about it man yeah man that’s really cool can you watch a can you watch a movie now where they’re like clearing something they’re like that’s not even close you know what I mean my wife tells me I do it all the time you don’t know what they’re doing I’m like let’s see yes I do first of all they’ve done it that way you know there’s there’s more than one way to skin a cat so everybody’s stuck unless it’s totally wrong yeah then I would go that’s that’s bullshit man fair enough fair enough but for the most part I can go yeah that’s good that’s good strength well Eric wake our little mule up I think it went back to sleep over there so he hadn’t said anything in about 15 minutes so I gotta but wake him up with some day in history would you? oh yeah man I got a good one for you man the opposite yeah this is good stuff no it’s not the old days of missing history when it was just like when he would do all that preamble and it was like ah this is down and dirty so 1917 April right America enters World War I French and British are dying on the limb they’re getting their asses handed to them and they need us to enter the war right in 1917 that’s right we don’t get involved with the conflict until May of 18 1918 really? so here here’s your here’s your history this is amazing to me so on May 28th 1918 the 28th infantry regiment of the US 1st Division the big red one attacked oh yeah attacked a German held French village called Katny Katnyki C-A-N-T-I-G-N-Y just so you know oh you’re putting that on us now we gotta figure it out I pronounce it so Katnykii from seventy miles north of paris this operation marked an important moment in the history of the US Army a small battle by WWI standards the battle of Katnykii was America’s first significant battle and first offensive of WWI Ahh it helped wrestle the initiative from the German Londorf offensive and bolstered the morale of American American’s European allies at a critical moment on its outcome, in part, wrote the omegation question of whether arriving American doughboys would join an independent American field army or serve as replacements in the French and British armies.
It provided lessons and experiences that shaped the Americans’ approach to battle for the rest of the war and afterwards. It provided a young George C. Marshall, first Division Operations Officer, his first and only combat experience at the tactical level. CACNI marked the emergence of the modern, permanently established, combined arms division of the U.S. Army, an organization that remained central to that army for the rest of the 20th century and into the 21st.
Furthermore, it was America’s first commitment in blood to the democracy of Western Europe. So, a year, so, if you remember, Blackjack Persian gets into Europe in 1917 and the French are saying, you got to go. We need your guys.
We need your people. It’s like, hold on. Hold on.
He said, I’ve got an untrained army. That’s right. You know what I mean? They were completely, they were walking around with sticks on their shoulders for the longest time.
So, when they get in country for that year. Much like Vandenberg’s training. When they get in country for a year, they’re being trained by the French and the British in country.
So, May 28th. I had no idea. First battle in offensive.
Very good. I always pull on these and they’re interesting. I hate to admit it, but they’re interesting.
I like it. I hate to admit it. I hate to admit that I enjoy you doing your job.
You said you were going to do history. I’ve tried. Why you didn’t? I didn’t.
You’re getting you much of a burden. These parties just hate you to take that shit over, man. That’s all.
No, no, no. I’m not. I want you guys to take more of the reins, but every time I hand you something, you’re like… Because we know.
We know. Oh, my God. Okay, one.
I’m outstanding. One, we’re going to need to discuss that mustache, my friend. If you’re going to wear that, then… I think you should go do the first salute as is, man.
Yeah? I’m going to do as an experiment, a social experiment, to see who calls me out. Nobody’s going to call you out, dude. That’s true.
I called somebody out one time when I was at the 380th, and that ballooned into like three weeks worth of ridiculousness. Because you called them out. You didn’t just call them out.
I made them do push-ups. At their own promotion ceremony. Oh, I like it.
I like it. It wasn’t him. It was the supervisor.
That’s why. So, this guy went up, and he was… I think he got promoted to E4, but… And he was chewing gum. As the colonel was up there, giving him his rank.
So, I found out who his supervisor was. I was like, hey, give me push-ups. He’s like, why? Because I said, because you let your guy go up there chewing gum in front of the colonel.
And then their squadron of super… Or the flight chief or whatever went ape shit on it. I was like, why are you making… I was like, why are you letting this guy chew gum? Why are he getting promoted? I just called Jeff Marty and said, congratulations, young man. No.
We had to have this big touchy feely thing, and it was ridiculous. It was ridiculous. So, it was ridiculous.
So… We had an old day of tug-of-pass. That’s right. And… That’s why I don’t want to push Lil Mule too far.
It was acting… Because I want him in. I want him in. It was acting dirty in reserves, right? It was terrible.
So… You know, maybe we should do this show, and everybody takes a turn one week to end up. And you can call it any time you want. Whenever you feel like it.
Right? We could be in the middle of a story and be like, end up… And we’re like, okay? And we just go from there. So, I would like to give you that freedom, but I don’t think anybody could take it. So… Well, we would take it, and you’re like, you can’t call it end up now.
I’ve got four more stories. But I get it. I was like, ah.
You have to throw the banner in. That’s like a little nut cap. You didn’t need to do that.
I like the banner. You’re good. You’re good.
I’ll be happy. I’ll be happy. On behalf of all of us, I’d like to thank you for listening today.
Please like, share, subscribe, and let us know how we did in the comments. And make sure next week that you are not late for changeover. Man, thanks for the week.
And I’ll see you next week. Good to see you guys, guys. Have fun.
Thank you.
