Date: Feb 29, 2024

All right, welcome to a special edition of the Sibbers Reunion Show, right? So, instead of introducing all you guys myself, I thought that I’d introduce yourself and then say what years you are at, Buckley, right? And you can say your positions if you want. I don’t know who else is going to listen to this, but outside of us, six. But you might never know.

You might somebody. I mean, I mean, uh, uh, General Goodline shared our podcast the other day and I was like, holy shit, what is he doing looking at this shit, right? Um, but I started putting stuff out on LinkedIn and then there’s just, I mean, Conley’s on LinkedIn, respect. He’s on LinkedIn.

I mean, they’re, and they’re active, you know, they take, they actually take the quizzes. They’re like, what does it take to be a leader? And then they actually fill it out and you see there it was dorks. Uh, hunt watched our podcast the other day, major or major at the time when he was there, right? Major hunt.

Um, so there, who knows who knows going to see it. Uh, but I’m Marty Smith. I was at Sibbers from 01 to 08.

Uh, I did Mr. Crew chief and then moved over to SSO GSL and sort of, sort of a, uh, uh, kind of a in spirit system crew chief. Cause I don’t know if I ever really pull, I think I pulled two shifts and then I left for GPS. So Derek.

All right. I was at Sibbers 2004 to 2009. I was the system crew chief and actually went to SSO school with you, Monty and Mr. Robert Cherry trained me as crew chief.

And then I replaced him in the OSS. And we went with what Amy Reed and, uh, who was that title bomb? Yeah. Title bomb.

Yeah. Okay. Robert Cherry.

I was there from 2003, 2007 GSO, then systems crew chief. And then I went to OSS. Yeah.

Kevin Dunaway, uh, 2005 to 2012 GSO, uh, on crew, then moved to OGB. And big burn. I was there from 05 to 2020, both as an active duty number.

Yeah. Uh, no, I’ve worked there. Really.

I was there until about 20, well, 2022 as a contractor. Um, but yeah, I started out as a mission crew chief was a Mr. Crew chief for a few years on the OGB. Um, and then was the weapons and tactics guy for the longest time.

Um, with eight Swiss and, uh, yeah, it was, uh, also finished out as a mission management operator once we transitioned to the new iteration of Sibbers. Um, but yeah, teapot. Hey, teapot.

I was at, uh, Sibbers proper from what, 2002 to 2006, but I mean, but really, I mean, I’ve been Sibbers for like 16 freaking years, right? I was a crew chief and then moved over to OGB. And, um, you know, that’s where the shenanigans kind of began. So, uh, loved it.

Oh, they began long before that. You know, I was going to say I was a, I was the, uh, your whipping boy. And when you were the scheduler for, for quite a bit, you’re welcome.

You’re welcome, Marty. Did you answer my phone? Did you? Yes, you did. Sometimes.

I don’t know. Dion was in, Dion was the NCO. I see a stuff.

Something wasn’t important. We laughed. Uh, and actually I’ve got to take my head off to Dion because we were, we were joking about that the other day, how he weaseled his way into, uh, uh, what was that crew? What was that? Um, it was DOO.

Yes. DOO. No, but that crew competition, right? That they, we sent a call.

Guardian challenge. And he was like, like the manager, right? I remember him selling jackets and all that. How’d you get that job, man? As I said, NCO, ICS stuff.

Kevin, weren’t you one of the forceovers from alert? Yeah. When we closed, um, you know, that was my only option was to go to Denver, which that was single at the time. I’m like, hell yeah, let’s go.

So I was in a house with like Terry Whitmer and Corey Bowman and like Juan Lopez. Yeah. We had, I mean, you probably should have been pissed tested every time you came in, but then you wouldn’t, you guys would have never worked a shift.

I mean, booze. Yes. Absolutely.

I was okay. I was okay on shift. Like I was, I wasn’t minding my P’s and Q’s going to shift day staff.

Absolutely not. Hey, let’s just make sure we call him teapot. And then you call me Kevin.

Yeah. Yeah. All right.

All right. Um, well, thanks for joining on. And it’s just, uh, it’s kind of a reunion.

It’s 20 years, really roughly. Yeah. You know, I mean, uh, and I’m going to publish this tomorrow.

So it’s on the leap year. So it’s, uh, I don’t know what that means, but I was trying to, I was trying to remember and I, and I wish Jake was here because I think Jake and I were, we were, we were there when it was IOC and we were on the same crew when it was IOC. So we, we pre-cluted you guys by a couple of years, but do you remember when you guys there when they had the unclassed computer in that hallway, they had like one or two or three of them hallway.

Yeah. Who’s the guy? And maybe we shouldn’t say his name, but do you remember when the guy got busted for surf and porn out there? He was like one of the first ones, right? One of the first ones. Yeah.

No surf and porn. I don’t remember him for that. Yeah.

I think he was, uh, you know, because it wasn’t a hard skiff for what a year or two. And then they, are we talking about an O or an E? Oh, he was an E. Definitely. Yeah.

Um, but then we lost them outside defense, right? We lost a lot of guys outside. Well, I knew there was, there was one kid that was McKinley’s, uh, I don’t know, aid, I guess you would call him. McKinley was the two Swiss superintendent back in the early few thousands.

You guys remember him kind of a Jack Black dude, Roderick McKinley. Yeah. I trained him as a true chief.

Yeah. He had the, the Hummer. He had to do whatever.

Got busted, uh, looking at porn at his desk in McKinley’s office. McKinley walked in. That he brought in on like a DVD and put in the fucking drive.

I’m a computer. All right. Hold on.

We find, we get the late comer. Of course. A man in the closet.

All right, Jake. Uh, when were you at Sibbers? Oh, man. Uh, oh, one to Oh, five.

All right. So that’s what we were just talking about. I mean, it’s 2024 and it’s like 20 year kind of reunion here.

So I didn’t know him as Jake. I knew him as Johnny fuck around for throwing that out there. That was earned.

You played your part well, sir. Yeah. Thank you.

That was, I mean, I, I, I, one of the Jake and I were on the same crew. Right. And, and I remember the second combat dining in, we, we did out of that Lake.

Oh, remember that Lake way out there. So I remember that I had this ragtag group. I was supposed to be in charge.

I had this ragtag group to clean up and Jake was part of that group that did nothing to clean up. Right. That nursing home is really tough.

That was the one that was supposed to be dry, right? Yeah. Right. Right.

Right. And we were all during setup. Yeah.

Yeah. We’re smart. Yeah.

It’s smart. But I was trying to get out of there without like anything coming out and I hear this tractor startup and they started running this tractor and it was Jake jumped on that effing tractor went for the ground, the Buckley ground screw or whatever it was. Get the fuck out of there.

It was there. They asked the keys in it. And that’s the, that I don’t, I mean, you were Johnny fuck around before that, but your reputation was well earned.

How many of you guys were around when we were still going to Boulder for long TDY? Oh yeah. Those are awesome. Those are the best times.

Remember the time that we literally kept BW threes open to like four o’clock in the morning. I’m very famous one, right? That’s the, uh, that’s the Australian, uh, stories, right? Dude, we literally, uh, we would go there and if we work in a mid, we would check in the day before. So we’re like, okay, we got to get on mid shift.

So basically we would go to the Buffalo wild wings and they, the manager literally stayed there for, for until four o’clock in the morning and service beer and wings and everything. That was the best time it was. That wasn’t what I was thinking of old Chicago’s.

That was, I was thinking of those. Oh, we did old Chicago’s as well. We did old Chicago’s as well.

God, you mean I’ve still got a band in that old Chicago’s. Yeah, I wasn’t either. I wasn’t either.

You got a band. Yeah, I got banned from that old, the old Chicago’s there in Longmont. Yeah.

You went in the stall with Christina, were you? Yes. No, it wasn’t him. It was the dude that worked for Jake.

Jake, uh, I know his name. I’m not going to say it. I know his name, but we’re not saying names.

Okay. Well, no names, no names, no names. But no, we, we showed up in Chicago’s one day and, uh, just had the worst service ever.

And there, it was just like, we waited like 40 minutes to order food. And, uh, finally I just kind of lost it. And you know, the waitress came over and I was like, where the fuck have you been? And she’s like, Oh, I had to go and pull kegs out of the back refrigerator and all that stuff.

I’m like, what’s going on here? Get your manager over here. Bring us in the manager. This manager is painted up like a fucking clown.

She had so much goddamn makeup on. And, uh, so I’m like, you know, what are you doing here? Why do you have this? You’ve got a, you’ve got a six foot to 200 pound bartender behind the bar sitting there talking to some chick. And then you’ve got our waitress who’s like a hundred pound, you know, five foot two girl pulling kegs out of the refrigerator.

You know, what the fuck’s going on here? Oh, sir, sir, sir. And then at that time our food came and my lasagna that I ordered literally still had the plastic on it. But I’m like, what the fuck? And I crumble it up.

I toss it at her. And I’m like, fuck all you people. You suck.

And I go, I just walk out. I’m like, fuck it. I’m not paying for this shit.

Fuck all you guys. But he, he’s, he’s like 20 years. So anyway, I get home and I, or I get back to the hotel and I type up email to the district manager of, oh, you’re committed to this thing.

Minutes. And he’s like, I heard about you. And he goes, he goes, I’ve attached, he attached $300 in old Chicago district tickets.

He’s like, we’ve had problems with this manager before. However, you are permanently banned from that location, but feel free to use these at any other of our, one of our locations. We’d love to host you and actually give you a good time.

That’s an interesting problem. Resolution there is like, yeah, I was like, okay, there’s a bunch of trashy coupons, but don’t ever come back. Well, the big thing is, was the spring Hill sweets.

We always stayed at the spring. Yes. Yes.

And we had the, uh, that was it that free beer at like, what is it like five o’clock? Happy hour. Yep. That nice beds too.

Their beds are really comfortable. Yeah. I don’t, I don’t think of one person.

Uh, well, I won’t go there. I won’t go. You guys weren’t a part of, uh, when we, we stood up heel, right? They sent us all down the heel and then they sent us T Y to Boulder for like weeks at a time to get training.

So like, we banked so much per diem. It was obscene. Yeah.

And we’re working swings too. I’m like, it’s like me, um, J T Moore, butch Bautista. Yeah.

And I’m a good old time. I stayed up there for like a month, one full time because the opposite crew guy fell out. And Marty just probably put me up there.

That probably wasn’t me. That probably wasn’t me. That was probably Amy’s mom by that time.

It’s always mom. Yep. Or forever scheduling.

Who was that? Who was that other, uh, staff, female staff who I was in scheduling with? Um, not Amy Reed. No, no, no. Before that, before that, I cannot remember her name.

She liked the England. She liked castles and she liked, uh, she was great to work with. I can’t remember her name, but she liked England and Dunlop.

Yeah, Dunlop. That was it. That was the one, uh, um, what’s his name was banging out.

I didn’t say who was hitting it though. You can edit more. If somebody listens to this and actually blows the whistle on it, it’s probably the best thing for her.

So she’s still here in the spring. I think they, uh, officially got married, even though she was very anti-marriage. Yeah.

I had his and her bedrooms out here. Oh, oh geez. Yeah.

I just want to let you know, I still talk to Butch a lot. What’s he doing these days? Yeah, he’s in a Sousa. Uh, he’s a GSE at a Sousa.

Um, he’s doing very well. Uh, you know, the, the big thing was, is that, um, everybody knows the name Butch from Pulp Fiction. He’s like, Butch, Butch, give me a pleasure, Butch.

And I give him a call and he picks up the phone and he goes, Hey, it’s Butch. And I was like, Oh, Butch, give me your pleasure. He goes, Kevin, your own speaker phone.

I was like, dude, really? But yeah, he’s at a Sousa. He’s doing very well. Good.

That, uh, that group, um, who’d you say you live with, uh, Teapot? Terry Whitmer, Cory Bolden. Well, Whitmer, um, prettiest man, sexist man, space man, right? Terry, Terry Whitmer. Who was the, who was the kind of, who was the couple? Um, uh, one guy was good at golf and he was married to, uh, I can’t, you’re talking about Bubba.

Well, I know Bubba was good at golf, but there was another, I think he was a contract, either she was a contractor and he was in or he was a contractor and she was in. But I thought they hung around with Terry Whitmer. I just, dude, I just want to let you know, I’m, I’m going to get off for a second.

I’m gonna get off for a second. I’m gonna call Corey, see if he can get on. Bowman? Yeah.

Yeah. You’ve been going around the nursing home every five minutes for breaks. Hey, Derek, Derek, shut your mouth before I put my dick in it.

It’s dementia. That mantra will get you. For the viewers at home, I’m pretty sure Kevin was tacky, right? He would probably, let’s throw that out there.

All right. Oh, you did, you paused. Okay.

Oh, wait a minute here. Oh, don’t, don’t, don’t screw my ex career field, man. I’m not, I’m just sad.

I just was positive about you. All right. Hey guys, let me literally, let me get, uh, see if Corey can get online.

All right. All right. He’ll have to ask permission.

Probably. Oh, damn. I think they’re like last call for meals before they have to go put them to bed.

So he’s going to take his medicine. I know we’ve, uh, told it before, but this is probably a perfect place to tell it again. Who can tell the, uh, the sergeant war story? Cause I think that’s where this forum to tell that story again.

I was, I was there. I was a part of it. I was in anywhere.

Dolls called in a sergeant war. Yeah. Oh yeah.

I was there. Do you guys, Robert, do you know that one? I do not. Well, I guess, uh, I’ll sum it up and then I’ll let teapot take it over.

But do you remember sergeant war or you guys? He was on my crew. I remember. Rob sent him home from his, with his clothes.

Yeah. He showed up at the, uh, IMCSB like he’s going to a club. I was like, what are you doing here? I’m just working.

I said, those aren’t business casual. Go back to your room and change. That’s not the war story I have.

So it’s, it’s between, uh, sergeant war and then stocky. It was up an OGV, right? Yeah. And so Dawes went and put these guys at odds.

So teapot can take the rest of that story. So, you know, Dawes and I came up through the Johnny fuck around university that Jake, um, graciously told us about. Found it.

And you know what Johnny fuck around is when Jake was done with work, it didn’t matter how busy you were. You were also done with work until Jake leaves. And then if you had work to do, you would do it when Jake leaves.

So, uh, you should have finished your job faster. That’s the problem. Listen, I worked for Gary Benton.

So yeah, I love Gary. Love Gary. Hey, he kicked out.

I also got, I got tasked a lot more and that’s okay. But Conrad and I were hanging out. It was midday and, and Johnny fuck around.

Boom. Light bulb. Let’s go.

And, uh, he had mentioned like, Hey man, like we knew he sounded like war. Like we knew we could throw his voice. And he’s like, Hey man, let’s mess with stocking a little bit.

I’m like, what do you want to do? And he’s like, I don’t know. I said, Hey, he’s got an eval coming up. Let’s, let’s call in the stockings office and ask when, when he can schedule his eval.

And he’s kind of, you were the instigator of that. No way. Absolutely.

I always get credit to Dawes. Yeah. Dawes and I were thick as thieves.

Man. We really were like low key. Him and I, uh, collect corroborated a lot of dumb shit, but, and I love Conrad.

Love them. Uh, LL Cool J. He looks a little cool. All right.

I’m letting Kevin back in. So this is going to be a ball in a China show. So, Hey Marty, suck my dick.

You have to move the colostomy bag over though. Oh dude. Okay.

First of all, Derek is older than me. So you should be talking to that motherfucker. Oh, what about Rob Cherry? You’re not giving him any shit.

Yeah. I’ll be 16 a few months. That’s cause I love you, Kevin.

That’s why I go back to the story. Listen up. So I’m sorry.

Cory’s about to come in. So we look at the email schedule and we look at like war schedule and we start kind of like, like game plan. Okay.

So he calls in and he’s like, Hey, what’s up stocking? It’s war. He’s like, Hey, sorry. How are you doing? Cause Kevin stocking was very proper, right? People thought he’s a friend.

I thought he was just wanted you to do your job. Kind of like you, Rob Cherry. People are like, Oh, he’s such a hard ass.

Like, Oh, he wants you to do your job. And if you don’t do it, he yells at you. So weird.

He’s like, what’s up? Sarge war. He was, Hey, uh, when my eval coming up, you know, and he’s like, well, we’re going to schedule. He goes, I got this, this, and this going on.

He goes, okay. Hey, let me, let me schedule it and whatever. And I’ll call you back.

He’s like, okay. We let like some time go by and, uh, and at least try to do the voice to make that. Yeah.

And then comes in to a stockings office and they were talking about something. I don’t know if it was heated, but they, something important was going on. We call again and he’s like, Hey, what’s up? It’s war.

Hey, what, what about my eval? When’s the schedule? And he’s like, I told you, I will call you back. Give me a few minutes. And he kind of hung up, right? So now we’re laughing.

We’re like, dude, call again and get, and get a little aggressive. He said, Hey, it’s more man. What’s up with my eval? Sergeant war.

I’m in a meeting with my OIC. I will tell you when your eval is scheduled. I guess he hung up the phone.

He fucking like threw it across the room. He comes out of the office. Our office is right across from his and he walks over and he’s just staring at the board, shaking his head.

And I’m right. I was like, Oh, he walks up. He’s like, Hey, son, stop.

He’s let you know that was you mother fucker. I threw the phone across the room. I was so he was like, basically fuck you guys.

Walk back into his office. I just saw Kevin. I just saw Kevin at the Nipper cafe the other day at Buckley.

He was heading out, turned his computer in because he lives in like. Yeah. Yeah.

He is retired. He is totally retired. He is now.

Yeah. He always lived out East, right? Yeah, I guess. Well, his wife has been living out there for a long time.

They’re on Bennett. I think no, it wasn’t Bennett’s further than Bennett. I thought it was Lyman.

No, no, no, he lives in Idaho. Idaho. Yes, because his wife and family moved out to Idaho like two years ago.

He’s just been sitting here, you know, just waiting for his pension. And then now he just retired. Good for him.

I love him for stocking. He was so fired up all the time. Always.

I was I was on the floor. I was OGB at the time. Had no business being there.

And I was in like the GSE area. And then, you know, you have the system crew chief right next to him. And they had something going on.

And he goes, Teapot, get the fuck off my office. And people were like, Oh, and I’m like, I had no business being there. You never worked under him.

He did not curse. He did. No, he never cursed.

He never cursed. Maybe just to Teapot. Yeah, maybe to you.

Yeah. But work work under him as a superintendent. And then, wow, it was very intense sometimes.

Yeah. Let’s move to golf. Well, he’s up in the upper corner there.

Oh, look at this. Hold on a second. Hold on a second.

Look at that old man. The ISA special. Are you trying to say that I have more gray hair than everybody else in this chat? We just have no freaking hair.

Thanks for coming on, Ron. Hey, when did you get going on? Sorry about being a little late. No, that’s all right.

I’m glad you joined. When were you at Sibbers? From 2001 to 2007. Okay.

So you were there around the IOC, right? Yeah, I was there before. I had my little certificate. I got my IOC certificate.

Hey, I think your mic is getting a little feedback. I don’t know if you can do anything about it. But let me see.

It seems real loud and maybe getting a little bit of feedback. Talk. But we’re just roaming around stories here.

So we’re trying to avoid names, but I haven’t done a very good job. But we’re just about to move into some golf stories, which are two guys in the upper right corner there could probably tell us the most famous golf story. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Yeah, come on. Bring it out. Bring it out.

Talking about the Sibbers tournament? Yeah. Talking about the Sibbers tournament. Is that Canterbury Golf Course? You might get a lot of jiggy going on.

Trustigious Canterbury Golf Course. Ready to be arrested for clubbing kids? Allegedly. Yeah, that was a total shit show.

These guys might not know that whole show. Yeah, what happened? Recast. I don’t know.

Some of them do. Like, I think T-Pot. I don’t know if T-Pot was with Bubba and Eric and all them golfing, but they almost hit us with some golf balls there.

The whole day was a shit show. I wasn’t at that tournament, but guys gave me the play-by-play. Oh, yeah.

There was a lot of wrestling and drinking on each hole. And then at the very end, who was it? Colonel Tobin was the wing commander, I think. Yeah, total sex, right? We’re all coming down.

And that whole day, Suzette got arrested. So she was chasing. She would be in Robert’s golf cart chasing me and Tara.

And I don’t know who. Tada Check. She had beer in her mouth for like 15 minutes, waiting to spit it on.

We come up to the clubhouse, and Colonel Tobin’s parking his golf cart right there. Our golf cart stops, but Robert swam right into us. Suzette jumps off and spits the beer all over me in front of Colonel Tobin.

And then, apparently, the cops were coming because it was, you know, the school up in that area. Yeah, yeah, there’s that elementary school out there. And we almost hit them.

And like her, you know, Greenwald and everybody, maybe even Ron had to do some paperwork. Do some, I don’t know if you were still there, Ron. Do you remember that? I remember hearing about it.

I remember there were some O6s that were involved that, you know, got their names put on some blotters. So, you know, the worst part of that day is Rob Cherry won like a $20,000 membership. Oh, yeah.

And a raffle. He had to give it away. I can’t wait to jump.

He had to get out of there. Oh, why? Yeah, yeah, I won that. Yeah, the perfect meet-up.

Rob, why’d you have to give it away? I don’t, you’re not going to go there again. I thought it was blackballed, so. Yeah, I’m not going to fucking use it.

John Dan Stacey. For John Stacey, I was like, hey, you want this? You sure? And then we had to all write like letters. What’s going on with him? He works north of Grumman.

He’s in Boulder. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

He’s a manager. Who told you you had to write letters? My friend, and I’m an active duty. I’m like, why are you asking me to write stuff? I’m not.

I’m not reservist. I’m not. Bruce Hudson was Suzette’s flight commander.

Oh, yeah. He’s like, you got to fly, you know, ride a slutter the same before. Then he’d call me a liar.

It’s like, I was there. We weren’t clubbing kids. Like you say we were.

The kid that saw us driving the school. Through the schoolyard. There was, there was.

Antimony, my right. Yeah, yeah. It was totally blown out.

Like each hold, there was like wrestling going on. Suzanne liked to wrestle on the greens. You know, he’s talking about tatachet.

Like all everybody. Eric was trying to butt fuck me on the golf course. That’s all standard operating procedure.

What do you mean? But it was none of that. It was actually driving through the elementary school parking lot is what. Yeah, right.

You were racing through the playground clubbing with my car was running beer for everybody. Oh yeah. There’s back here.

He lives on the golf course. We use his bathroom in his house. Pulling beers out of his cooler.

And he was the biggest ass at the time. Yes, he was. Oh my God.

It was bad. Yeah, this is my daughter, Jackie. Oh, Jackie.

Hello. Here’s Siri, Annie. This is my, this is my clone.

Siri, Annie. Annie, what the heck? Why do you have a baseball face? How you doing, buddy? Because his face does not look very good. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You should not be saying that. Love you guys. Yeah.

Can we talk about Bruce Hudson and the Pilot Mafia’s haircuts? Because they all have the same like haircut. And I would be giving evals with Jake and Dan Sanders, right? Captain Dan Sanders. Jake and I would be like, yo, why do all these guys have the same damn haircut? And we start laughing.

And Sanders like maintain this, but I’m like, I can’t. They all have the same. There’s like four of them, right? They had the same like art over like haircut.

My daughter, my 25-year-old daughter got married in Mexico. We had a wedding in Mexico. Bruce Hudson was our pilot on the way home.

No way. Come on. Come on.

I landed at Denver. Are you? The bathroom. And I was standing outside and he was wearing his freaking bus driver cap.

Oh my gosh. And he’s like, Derek? And I was like, holy shit. I didn’t even recognize him.

What did he thought? He was the commander, but you were really the commander of that damn crew. What airline was it? United. United.

Yeah, yeah. I think he was wrong with it. No, you need to tell the story of the cocksucker story.

Oh, that is the funniest shit in the world. So, you know, we were, we had watched, you know, Usual Suspects. And so the whole system side was like saying it all day.

And then Bruce pulls me aside and says, hey, Derek, you’ve got to stop saying cocksucker. Like, you got to stop saying cocksucker. You don’t know how to look.

And I’m like, I was really serious. I said, I have never used that term in my life. And I was dead serious.

Because I don’t use that term. But then I went back to my crew. He’s like, give me shit.

Well, we’re all saying cocksucker. He goes, give me the keys, you cocksucker. I’m like, oh my, so I think we’ll apologize to him.

Because we had to walk up to Derek and say, Derek, you’ve been saying it for the past six hours. And he was like, what? I was like, give me the keys, you cocksucker. What the fuck? He goes, oh my god, I have.

Yes, I’d apologize to him. It was me. God, that was a great crew.

That was a great crew. I hated that guy. Well, Derek was really the crew commander.

So I actually like him though. Hudson was my first nemesis because he put me in charge of Rebecca Cronus, right? Oh, God. And I got her after you.

No, I moved her off the crew. But he did not like Becky, right? And he approached me as like, hey, I think we need to maybe refer her to mental health. I was like, you do that.

She’s going to lose her clearance. You can’t do that, dude. And he didn’t like that.

I said that back to him. And then it just went downhill from there. So it was.

Yeah, I don’t do anything about it. And thanks to the story to bail me out of that crew. But when she moved to OGB, sorry, Derek Cronus off that crew later on.

Did you? Yeah, but when she moved to OGB, she got really better. And I just I don’t know what her deal was, but you just got to learn how to deal with her because I thought sometimes that she could be one way. Then all of a sudden another way.

But yeah, she was better after that. But then she had both her and her husband as supervisors. And they were both cool to me.

And you guys know how difficult I can be. Yes, I love. I love the Crony.

All right. I am a Crony fan. That’s the Cronus is more right.

We saw you back in OGB. I got a call one day. We have an eval about start and she’s like, Hey, I’m going to be late.

I’m like, Hey, you OK? She goes. Yeah, there was an accident. And I got out of my car and I was trying to resuscitate a person who was injured and they died and I got blood all over my uniform.

So I got to go on the chain. I’m going to be late. I said, Becky, I’ll talk to stocking.

Do not come in. Like take the day off. Like, let me know what you need.

She was trying to come in for an eval. And I told I told stocking. I said, Hey, man, I just got this call from Cronus.

He goes. She’s not coming in right. I said, I told her not to come in.

He’s like, OK, thank you. Like I really enjoyed working with Becky. Yeah.

And I think everything changed for her after the motorcycle accident. Yeah, I don’t know if you guys knew about that. I was her supervisor when she got custody of the kid.

Her sister. Yeah, her sister. And that threw them all in the loop.

So I got her right when there was that. And I was like, yeah, I got it. It’s got to be in your 20s and all of a sudden you’re supposed to be a parent or something like that.

So yeah, it was difficult time for her. It was a very difficult time. But Brucie had no allowance.

He just didn’t get along. Yeah, yeah. So something that I’m not sure.

Terry, Robert, you might remember this, but I had to pull Bruce aside. It was it was me and somebody else, but we had to pull Hudson aside and have a talk with Hudson because he was getting so many complaints from all the senior enlisted folks. And almost everybody hated him.

And so I had to pull him aside and talk to him. And I was like, hey, man, what’s the deal? What’s going on? And basically what he said is from his career path as a pilot, he didn’t have any other senior enlisted people that work for him or around him. And he was used to just kind of being in charge and telling everybody else what to do.

And he wasn’t accustomed to working with senior enlisted guys. And the only enlisted guys, the few crew chiefs and stuff was around him. He had total domain over these guys.

So he just wasn’t accustomed to dealing with senior enlisted guys. And he just said, you know, I didn’t realize, you know, I was coming off that way. I didn’t realize everybody hated me.

You know, I just didn’t know how to, I don’t know how to deal with that because, you know, this is just how I came up in the Air Force. And so I don’t want to be changed much, but we, I had to have a talk with him about that. I tried to have a talk with him.

He was really cool to junior enlisted dudes. That was the first thing I went to. I went to Bravo when I first came up there in 2005.

And I went right to his crew and we had no problem with, you know, I was a senior Airman Staff Sergeant at the time and everything was legit right there, you know, in the mission cell. I’d never had an issue with Major Hudson the entire time. And there again, I mean, I never had a, I never had an issue with him.

Yeah, I do remember that, Rob. Yeah, no experience with. The only thing Scott Sweet told me before I took over a Bravo crew is like, man, he calls me all the time on my off time.

And it’s not even important. So I said, okay, well, I’m gonna let him know right up front. Bruce, don’t call me, you know, Major Hudson, don’t call me unless it’s important.

He can wait. And he was cool. I never had a problem with him.

I don’t want to switch gears on here, but I am. But who was the Miss HR person that I inherited at the MCSB? Derek, it was the person that she walked by and you said, that’s a nice pedonkadonk. And I was like, Derek, he said.

Natalie, Natalie. I don’t want to say her last name. Don’t say her last name.

But yeah, but apparently I inherited her and said, Kevin, be careful, be careful. And I was like, oh my God, would I get myself into? But apparently she had like, like five or six HR complaints go, you know, with harassment. And I just don’t know how, you know, I was like, what should I do? And it’s like, Kevin, just keep your distance.

It’s like, how can I keep my distance? I’m a boss. What was his? What was his nickname? Squirrel? Chris Escamel. Well, all right.

I guess I can say a name. Okay, yeah. There’s a name.

There’s a name. He popped like, Christopher Eugene. I’m friends with all of them.

So was the security number. But she did get married. To the DSO, though.

Yeah. They’re doing well. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, does anybody know what happened to the Woodside Strangler? Oh, my God. What are you calling me out? Hey, I was kidding. The thing about Woodside is I was with her in my cronies in the mountain before.

They were in the mountain with me. Yeah. She’s the one who got in the accident going home a block away from Buckley.

She got in an accident on I-70. I thought she shouldn’t drive. No, no.

She drove when she came back from Thule. Then she lived like literally on Mississippi. And then she got in an accident in her new Thunderbird.

On I-70. We’re like, what are you doing on I-70? You live like around the corner. That was a good one, Chief.

I have not heard that. Yeah, she looked at you like she wanted to wear your shoes. Because she’d do that just like the extra couple seconds.

Yeah, she looked at you like that. Who was it? Remember this, Derek? She was the first hander that took her to pick up her stuff out of the crashed car. Oh, you did? No, who was? Oh, I don’t know.

I think it was… What’s her name? Tech Sergeant. She became senior. What’s her name? No, I think it was a male because he was like, she dropped so much Adam and Eve magazine and random boxes out of that car.

And threw them on the passenger seat and then went back for another handful of stuff. And then was like, okay, we can go. We all rotated picking her up every once in a while.

If I just take her home he would drive her home but she’d say, hey, can you stop by give me some brownie mix, do this. You have to take her shopping before you got her own. Who was the crew chief? Well, we went to the MCSB said, don’t anybody give her a ride.

And she ended up taking the bus from Buckley to Longmont. Yes. And she was like, you know Jen, it was Jen.

Jen who? I don’t want to say last names, but you know. She said her name like five times. Jen Thelke? Oh no, I didn’t but now you said it.

Now I said it when you said I said it five times. I’m going down. All you Jen would love this.

Yes, she would. She literally said, don’t you if you see her walking home, don’t you ever give her a ride. She has a car sitting at home and she just wants to walk.

And then we had to go to the MCSB. Yeah, right. And then we were going to IMCSB.

Nobody would give her a ride. She ended up taking the bus and she was like an hour and a half late for her shift. Kevin, your mic is so loud.

I don’t know. I’m sorry here. Let me see if I can do something about it.

It is the most sensitive mic ever because I’m sorry. Sound like you’re on oxygen. Is this any better? Yeah, that’s a little bit better.

Sorry, I had both both my yeah, I’m so I’m gonna put my microphone behind my head. Is this any better? That’s about the same. Okay, no, no, I’ll take care of it.

I’ll take care of it. I want to go to Ron because that early those early. I was doing that on purpose.

What is he frozen? What is that sticking up? Looks like a tickling. Why is it? Why is that peanut butter on it? Come on, man, there we go. Fuck off.

Marty, this is a midship conversation. This is exactly your midship conversation. But Ron, we were Jake, brought it up on one of the other shows and he brought up Summy and we laughed our ass off at Summy.

But if you run through that first four years of IOC with all those ISAs, holy shit. Who was that? She was she was an ISA, right? Who who broke her ankle on the rodeo or whatever? No, Kim Jennings. Okay, yes.

She didn’t break her ankle. She broke her what? She got a bull. Bull caught her in the thigh and ripped her thigh open.

Yeah, she’s riding a bull. The bull ripped her thigh open. Jesus Christ.

You know, she became she got commissioned in the Army the last time I saw her. She was a captain in the Army. Yeah, I remember that.

I remember that. But Jake brought up Summy and how I can’t remember. He was on with Forrest, right? So wasn’t it something for her there? Yeah, and he would make little comments on Forrest in the changeover brief in his Intel brief.

And how he would walk around the ops floor with no boots. Just to see who would find out that he was walking around in his socks. He used to hide in the island.

What was his name for his girlfriends, Jake? The concubine, wasn’t it? The concubine. Yeah, that was his girlfriend that he was a tutor for for her college classes. And then they ended up being like boyfriend girlfriend.

You know, they’re married with two kids. No. You’re still married to this day.

They’re still married. They have two kids. She just recently had a birthday because I’m friends with her on Facebook and their kids are like nine and seven or something like that.

Wow, that’s wow. Yeah, they’re still married. Yeah, last I heard he was out in DC doing something or that area, that Beltway area.

Yeah, he’s in DC area and working it doing Intel stuff. How many of you guys ever went on flight Lieutenant Henry’s parties? The limo parties? I went on one of those. There’s house parties.

I remember like half of one of those. Yeah, I did one of those and he got butt naked in the limo. Oh, sounds like McCall.

Sean or Steve? Exactly. That was probably Sean. It’s got to be Sean.

It’s got to be Sean. Yeah, Sean was mobile when he got naked, right? He was out on the ground. Yeah, Terry, you were on that one.

Yeah, I picked up in front of him. You were on that one. Yeah, we were in the limo and Macker took his clothes off and while he’s taking off the socks, I look up and all I see is a starfish in my face.

What the fuck are you doing? Totally killed my butt. I remember going on a limo. Do you guys remember Andy Earl? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He’s a super small guy, right? He was my supervisor, never drank. When I was him and Ian Davis, who was a Brit and we all went out drinking and I thought I could out drink him. Andy, who never drinks, just kicked the shit out of me.

Me and Eric Baez had a tap hour like, yo, we’re done and Andy was just talking mad trash and I’m like, well deserved because you never drink and Baez and I had said to bow out. I’m a big fan of the Australians. Also, we’ll never drink with them again because who was the lowest ranking Australian there? Corey Hume.

Corey Hume. The fucking model, bro. The coolest drunk I have ever been around.

I think he got it. Remember Guadalajim and Terry? Sweet Jesus. I couldn’t even pick up their scraps, Marty.

They were so good looking. Hey, we’re going out. Do you want to go? I’m like, no, I don’t.

I’m going to stay at home. But it wasn’t that they were. I’m not on your level.

Like, it wasn’t only that they could drink like fish and they were good looking, but they were cool. They didn’t make you feel bad. And I think Corey Hume got like more sober.

The more drunk he got. Oh, yeah. Because he had a way.

He was just like, yeah, I’m good. I was like, you just drank a case. We can’t get out of this without doing the Amy Reid Halloween party.

That was the best. That’s what I didn’t go to. So I can’t attest to that one.

Oh, God. You know, with Amy, nobody recognized Amy. What was she dressed as, Derek? Lara Croft, I think.

Yeah, that’s it. That was Steven Gary. Downtown Gary Brown with the Blue Man? The Blue Man? Yes.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. No, no, no.

They were the Geico cavemen. Yeah, that was the best party. Is that one with Baker was puking out on someone’s porch? Yes.

Well, he was drinking water. Was it Eric Johnson’s house? No, that was. Oh, it was Eric Johnson’s house.

I think you were right. But yeah, but Baker was saying, I’m so drunk. And then he would literally filled up his beer with water and pretend like he was drunk.

Baker. Oh, my God. He helped me get my first crit.

Remember, Derek? Your very first shift as a G.S. on my crew. First shift. First shift.

Were you there at One Sops when we sent Baker on the Doofer message tour? Yes, I was there. Yeah, we sent that dork on. We sent him around a basically every unit trying to get the pieces to the Doofer message.

So he spent an entire shift going unit to unit. And they would give him like letters and numbers and just all this shit. And he would just walk around the whole base the entire time collecting all the things we needed to decrypt the Doofer message.

As a young kid, he was dumber than a bag of hammers. That’s the best though. When you just all their units are involved like they fuck with this guy.

Yeah, or Dacus. Dacus was the worst. Dacus, Dacus.

Yeah, yeah. You think I can’t go along the strides in Sibbers. You remember? He was a longstrider, bro.

Yeah. You remember whenever they were at the party and the A-twist commander was doing shots off his wife’s belly? You guys don’t know that story. Yeah, his wife was a… She was very flirty.

No, no, no, no, no. That’s not exactly true. You’re talking about Greco.

You’re talking about Greco? Oh, I don’t want to say the name. Oh, I totally agree with you. I was there and that did not happen.

He was not taking shots off her belly. So what she did was she did take his scarf, you know, the flight suit scarf. She didn’t take that and she tucked it into her tits.

And then she was getting very familiar and he liked to drink and at some point we had to be like, dude, stop. Like, this is bad. This is an airman’s wife.

And he was like, oh, oh, oh. Just take care of me. And then he separated himself and everything was cool.

But he thought he was just some random chicken. That was in the back of drydock. When drydock was… They had the little bar in the back of drydock.

You guys remember that? Drydock ruling. They saw these brewing supplies. They had this little bar.

And yeah, we had some going away or something. And yeah, she showed up and she was just… She was that girl. And yes, she was.

Two separate occasions. He always had a… I had to put Grego up at the dorms. Because one time he was just totally wasted.

He was in his office drinking. And I just happened to be working late. And I go in and go, hey, you know, hey, Colonel, what’s going on? And he was wasted.

And I was like, holy shit, man. You cannot drive home. I had to go over.

Because as the first sergeant, we had keys to some rooms over at the dorms. I had to take them over and put up the dorms. Another time we were over at the… What is it called? Panther Hall? Panther Hall, yeah.

We were at the little club over there. And he was so wasted. The bartender said, I’m not going to serve.

He goes, who is this asshole? He was like, you know, somebody better get this motherfucker out of here before we bust his ass. He had to go over and grab him. Hey, man.

Hey, we got to get out of here. And I had to take him over to Panther Hall and put him up in a room over there and say, hey, you need to stay here and sleep it off, man. On two separate occasions.

But there’s a few times I’ve gone in his office, man. And he’s turning the bottle up. And he’s just getting lit.

Same thing. When I took… Chief, when I took over for you, you never really let me know. Marty, I don’t know if you remember this story.

It was like 10 o’clock in the morning. You’re in my office. We’re talking.

And Greco says, hey, I need to talk to the superintendent. I do remember that because you told me about it afterwards. And then Marty left.

And Greco had a six pack of beer in his hand. Yeah. Put it on the table.

And we drank beers at 10 o’clock in the morning. I guess I’m not going to the gym today. No.

And then I was a CSA. Remember the CSA? You did all the computer stuff. Yeah.

In squadron. Yeah. I had to fix his computer.

And I rolled up into his desk. And there was a bottle underneath his desk that was empty. That he’d been drinking all night.

Yeah. Before he’d come in at 11 o’clock in the morning instead of till 10 o’clock at night. Right.

He never went home. Suzette got in my ass because I’d be there at six o’clock. She’d call me, hey, when are you coming home? Colonel Greco just got here.

So I got to go through some stuff. Right. She started getting pissed.

I had this drink. 4.30. She started calling me. When are you coming home? When are you coming home? I said, I’m going to come home.

So I finally told Greco. Dude, I can’t stay here all night like you do. And I could hear him through the vents.

He’d be lying to near his wife. Oh, I’m in traffic in Casa Rock. I worked with her on Facebook.

She’s awesome, too. Wait. Yeah.

I could hear everything you’re saying. You’re lying to near me. And she’s going to keep Puerto Rican.

She’s going to fucking knife you. She’s awesome. She’s going to knife you.

He was a trip. He was a trip to work there. What is he doing now? I don’t know.

I haven’t seen him in years. But I don’t know. Did he ever put on 06? I don’t know.

I don’t know. I think so. I mean, that was so weird with the reserve group at that time.

And him, and the Doro, and… Rattery didn’t like him. And Rattery didn’t like him. Yeah, and then it was just like it divided.

And it was just, it was weird. It was really weird. All right.

Let’s pull off the drinking stories. And I just want to go. I want to give you guys a second to think about it.

But who’s the most memorable officer that you worked with there? And why, right? So for me, I don’t know. There was a couple. I mean, I went to OpSec school with Perchek, right? And he was a blast.

He was a blast. But when we got back, I don’t know. It was like he was behind the eight ball with the other commanders.

I don’t know. I don’t know what the rep was. But it was just like he never really kind of was exalted up.

I don’t know why. I don’t know why. But I love working with the guy.

I thought Kevin Perchek was great. So Eric, I mean, there was a lot of memorable ones, right? Who could do the who could do the Dean’s easiest breathing? Man, those are freaking names from the past, huh? I saw them later on too. Oh, too.

Yeah. Yeah. I just remember her being a bit pregnant.

We’re in her flight suit. She could hardly zip up. I worked when I was at ASOS.

We were on the A3. She worked in A3. Does anybody ever know what happened? Remember Selden.

Lieutenant Selden. The blonde who was there. She was kind of frail.

She was one of the only lieutenants because back then they were still putting lieutenants in the missile fields, right? There was very few lieutenants. There was a, there was another lieutenant at the time, early 2000s. I got to ask you guys something real quick.

So I went scuba diving in the Maldives, was at the Maldives, the Maldives, about three years ago. And I had this guy that was on the boat and he said that he was ex-air force. And I said, okay, you know, where were you stationed? And he was, he got out when he was, I think a captain, but he said he wanted a place he was stationed was at Buckley.

And holy shit. I was like, when were you at Buckley? I was like, I was at Buckley. I said, what’d you do? Because, oh, I worked behind the fence.

Well, holy shit. You’re behind the fence doing what? And he’s like, oh, I work with Sibbers. And of course he’s thinking nobody else knows what the hell he’s talking about.

I said, you got to be shit me, dude. I worked in Sibbers from 2001 to 2007. So when’d you get there? And then he started kind of ooh and on.

Oh, well, you know, I left there in 2001. And I said, really? I said, so who was there when you were there? The dude could not give me one name, not one fucking name. His name was Francois Demours.

And he left there and he went to LA. And he got out in LA as a captain and he’s been working as a contractor ever since. Has anybody ever heard of this guy? He’s a black guy, about 6’1″, slim.

And I’ve never seen his name, never heard of him. And I asked Greenwald if he’d heard of him. He says, I never heard of him.

He goes, don’t tell him anything. Don’t tell him anything about the operation. And I’ve seen pictures of a guy, you know, he had pictures on Facebook, but he was in uniform stuff.

But I was like, nah, I don’t trust what this guy is saying, man. He could not tell me one person he worked with. That’s stolen Sibbers valor.

Stolen Sibbers valor. That’s very precise though. Hey, Derek, you cannot lead this conversation without telling the Lieutenant Bramlett story.

The one, the one whenever we were on mid shift, the one we were on mid shift and we had that great looking Lieutenant. Yes. You got to tell the story, dude.

You got to tell the story. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Yeah, you do.

So, so basically we, you know, we all live lived on days, but when we worked mids and Derek gets so delirious on mid shifts, like he would turn to me and he’ll see me start closing eyes and he’ll go, don’t wait, wake up. And all of a sudden, five minutes later, he’d be passed out, you know. Then all of a sudden, Lieutenant Bramlett comes in for shift change and she pulls Derek on the side talking about the OSS forms for training and everything.

And she, and he, you know, she goes, she goes, yeah, I need to get this done for Lieutenant Fisher. And then Derek goes, who’s Lieutenant Fisher? He goes, she goes, you know, that, that one that she’s on the upper dais, good looking woman and everything. Derek goes, really? Y’all two want to get together and kiss.

Yes, you did. And then Lionel Beltran turns around and goes, Derek. And he goes, I’m so sorry, ma’am.

I’m so sorry, I’m so tired. Hey, Mo was my little butter bar in the OSS, man. Yeah, but this is, you didn’t know her back whenever that happened.

T-Plat, we were trying to see who’s your most memorable officer from your time that you were there? Oh, Gary Ben. Yeah, like the ex marine, the ex marine Gary Ben. You know, he, he kind of got a bad rep, again, as being a, quote unquote, hardass.

But I, all he was is do your job, man. He was cool. Like we played softball together.

And we want, we want to be shippages, bro. Yeah, I played on that team all the time. Yeah, he had the Toyota on rims.

I’m like, why did you have this Toyota on rims, bro? He was so cool, man. But I remember, so one time, real quick, we were going through an ORI. And I think it was Rosales.

We missed, but we didn’t have record of an eval for him. So he would have been delinquent. He would have pulled shift without having some type of recurring eval.

And Gary pulled me into the room. He goes, what do you want to do? I said, I know what I want to do. I’m going to go to scheduling.

I’m going to talk to him and they’re going to put it on the schedule. And I’m going to gen up a form. And there’s going to be no questions asked.

And he goes, do it. So this, this hard ass wasn’t what’s hard. As I went to, you guys remember Tony Vanderpool? Yeah, he and I got along great.

I said, Tony, put an eval on the schedule here for Morales. And that’s it. He goes, okay.

And, you know, we left that ORI with the excellent rating. And yeah, that, that was Gary, man. Gary was, I liked working with Gary.

I liked working with stocking. Bowersmith was funny. Like Jake was ridiculous.

Like one of the best, one of the best was when we had Sanders on our crew. It was our flight. Yeah, we talked about that before.

Yeah, that was a great, that was great. But I remember Jake made that comment. And we talked about this on the podcast before.

So I know I’m retelling the story. But Jake said, said that whole, it was beaten like a redhead stepchild and Sanders was a redhead. And he’s like, hey.

He was so, I mean, he seemed straight lace, but he was so really laid back. And maybe we were talking about Major Hudson, how some of the crew, remember how Major Hudson and Major White used to go at it though? It would literally change over every ship. We call them, I call Captain White begging strips, you know, because he doesn’t like the three.

Hey, but Nathan was on your big team. Not Nate White, five strands White, yeah. Yeah, five strands.

Yeah, they used to. He did that a lot. And they did not like each other.

And it was weird. Yeah, that was weird. So who’d you say, who’s your best officer? Who’s your most memorable officer, David? I went with two so many in the OSS.

I mean, all the officers on the floor were mostly eight Swiss, right? But I like Rob Marquez. I like Rob Marquez a lot. And tell us that I’m still good friends with him.

He’s awesome, dude. Oh yeah, that’s cool. He was great.

How about you, Chief? I would have to say Lieutenant Colonel Burton at the time. Oh, yeah. That dude was solid.

He would listen to you, help you out. He was just a solid guy. Like, you know, remember EPRs? You write EPR.

Sure. You come back all marked up. Like, this sucks.

This sucks. But I’d have EPRs that he approved that didn’t fly the next time. I was like, look at these two EPRs.

They’re the same. And you said, don’t want this one. What’s up? I do that? I said, yeah, you do that all the time.

He sat there with me for over an hour and we corrected these EPRs. I said, I’m going to call you out every time you do this. He had really good calves.

I remember that. Oh, yeah, yeah. You’re like the smart guy back then.

Hey, I’m going to refine my answer because, T-Bot, I said, I said fur check. Remember fur check? I like fur check. I love drinking.

I like fur check. He calls me out a couple of times. Still love him.

But I think, I think overall, it had to be Gibson. Gibson was such a… Oh, Steve? The man who used to say, that guy was so smooth. Oh, Bob Gibson.

The hat. He was great. He does me and Rob’s money.

He’s my fun guy. He went into money. Yeah, I know.

He did the Ever Jones, right? He was always like that though. He’s so smooth and he’s so calm and you just like, you can learn from the guy. He was my commander at ASOPS.

But I remember him and then after him, Colonel Smith, Steve Smith, he was at ball and he’s like a big VP at ball and he’s going to remember me from 20 years ago. Oh, yeah. He came off as a dork and then he started talking to him and he’s cussing.

I’m like, whoa, I was not expecting this. Like, let’s go. That was a weird transition.

I’m going to give a shout out to… That was a weird transition, yeah. Yeah, to… What was it? You guys remember Rod Miller? Yeah. Yeah, now Dr. Rod Miller.

One of the smartest dudes I’ve ever met in my entire life. I would go to meetings with him and that was back when fitness was big. So I was like the UFPM guy.

So I was in meetings. I shouldn’t have been in and I would listen to these captains, Lieutenant Colonels, try to gaslight him and he would just be like, you’re fucking stupid. He was so direct and blunt.

I’m like, oh my goodness. I don’t ever want to get on your bad side. I’m friends with him and his wife to this day.

I mean, they’re fantastic. Rob was great. He was Burton’s DO at the time.

Yes, he was. Oh, right. Yeah, that was great.

Big Burton fan dude. That was great, yeah. Yeah, Burton was fantastic.

What do you think, Vern? Who is it for you? There’s a lot of big names I could throw out, but I got to take it back to the early days so that everybody knows who I’m talking about here. But Johnny Olac. I knew you were going to say Johnny Olac.

I knew you were going to say Johnny Olia. Because you guys were inseparable. Yeah, we were homies.

And yeah, we had a crew that was full of a bunch of emotion. Well, I will leave it at that. There’s a lot of emotion on that crew.

And we were two guys that just didn’t give a fuck. And for instance, one girl had she had a marriage fall apart right before the wedding. And she’s pissed.

She comes in one day and she’s just pissed. And she’s cleaning up and just trying to take care of whatever’s going on in her brain. And she pulls out this dish.

And this is this big platter. And she goes, what the fuck is this here for? And I look at her and I go, that’s for you to fucking go and make sandwiches and put those on. And he starts cracking up laughing.

You know, I saw a crack up at the whole crew starts crack up. She gets pissed. You guys, everyone here knows or I’m not going to say her name, but there was that.

You’re stopping now. We’re drawing the line now. I mean, there’s, there’s numerous stories of, you know, up in Boulder, getting shit face convincing the two Swiss first sergeant.

It was a good idea to give all the airman kegerators and the dorms. They would save money. We went on a good four hour explanation on why this would be a good idea.

And there again, me and Johnny Olac, you know, two thickest thieves. He was a good dude. You know, great, great on crew, real sharp guy and fun to be around.

So Johnny, I ran into him when I was in Boulder. He was a contractor. And I remember one night, he’s like, hey, man, you want to have a quick two at this bar down the road? Because he knew I lived pretty close.

And I said, no, man, I’m not, you know, I’m tired. I’m going to go home. That bar, like a week later, had a double homicide shooting.

And I walked in. I’m like, dude, Johnny, what are you trying to do? He goes, yeah, I’m not going there anymore. I’m like, you wanted me to go there with you for a quick two, man.

Johnny and I, we used to, we used to go after crew and we’d head to this little bar in Aurora called scooters. And that happened to us. We wouldn’t have a fast one.

That was this thing. Let’s go have a fast one. And we went and had a fast one.

And, you know, we left it, you know, we got there after cruise. It was like 330 and then we left it, you know, five or whatever. And like at 7 p.m. that night, there was also like a shooting in that bars parking lot.

So maybe he has something. Last I heard he was in, he was in Vegas, right? Like, I think we rented him in Vegas last time, right? Yeah, last I saw he was, he was working Intel support up in, up for the red flag out there in Vegas. And I’m not exactly sure where he’s at now.

But yeah, I bumped into him kind of randomly out there at a red flag. Yeah, I mean, he’s he’s calm. He was calmed down quite a bit from when, you know, he was lieutenant captain.

Yeah, he was he was a good dude, always solid. He’d always shoot at least me straight. And yeah, I miss that guy.

What do you got, Jake? Oh, man, I was blanking out. I’m reminiscing about. What are we talking about? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I don’t know. Sanders is awesome. He he’s the one that he absolutely hated baby powder, right? Yes.

That smell of baby powder. I know where you’re going with this. And we are.

Who was it or or tease or cruise cruise by Olivia was freaking bathroom sprayers because she was tired of working in a group in a building with just all stinky men. And so she pulled them out. And the first day he Sanders was like, I hate baby powder.

Get that whole thing out of here. And we’re like, oh, okay. So he went on leave for a week after that.

And we took all four of those and put him in his office and closed the door. It got so bad. We couldn’t do conferences at that conference table because it just fucking wreaked the baby powder.

And then he came back from leave living. Oh, he was mad. He was furious.

I saw him on my last deployment and he came up to behind me while I was at the channel. And we were in the middle of an exercise. And he’s like, you need to simulate putting your mask on.

I was like, okay. I didn’t turn around and see who it was. But I put my mask on.

I turn around. I’m like, holy shit. Where have you been? He’s like, I thought it was you.

I was like, damn, man. That’s pretty cool. Jay, could you imagine having to supervise me, you, Conrad, Raul? I think McElhain was there at the time too.

Joey McElhain. Joey but a Foucault. Joey McElhain.

Joey but a Foucault. I feel bad for them now. You know, I’m like, they’re there.

They’re all saints in my mind. Like, can you see? Yeah, I don’t know how we got through it. Right.

And then Chris Dall. Remember Chris Dall? He’s like the only one that did like work all the time. Yeah, yeah.

All the time. Who was the who was the Canadian enlisted guy that was in DOV? He was on the system side. Oh, smart guy too.

Yeah, the guy. In Quinn. In Quinn, maybe.

Quinn, wasn’t it? Oh, it was before. Andy Earl was an Australian that worked a lot too. He was my boss.

I know he was the best Canadian. He wasn’t good. He was really good.

Yeah, I don’t know. No, I can’t think so. But we’re such a bunch of misfits, Jake.

Steve Henry walked in our building the other day. Like I’m like three months ago. Really? He’s like, yeah, he’s still in the Australian Air Force.

Yeah. And he walked in he walked in our Parsons building and we’re like, oh crap. Look at this.

It was Willie and I met him at the door. We didn’t know it was actually him until he walked up. So I see Denzilis name every once in a while.

Like on Facebook. Yes, something like that. Yeah, I see him a lot.

Yeah, yeah, Denzilis. Yeah, I love Denz. Who was it for you, Ron? This is a throwback.

Rob Mahler. Oh, yeah. Yes, sir.

The most grounded guy you could ever be around. Yeah, yeah, I enjoyed working with him and he was always really, really calm. Really just easy going, but he really, really knew his shit.

When he started talking, it was like, yeah, I better listen because, you know, this guy knows what he’s doing. He knows what he’s talking about. He knew like all aspects of the floor and he was, he was a guy I like, I like to work with.

Where’s volleyball? You remember? He was a volleyball. Crazy man. Yeah, yeah, that’s why I was shocked man.

Find out he had the heart attack and just go over and die. Yeah, that was. Yeah, he said Rob Mahler.

Yeah, that was him for. That was rough. Yeah, I’m good friends with his ex wife because they never actually got married.

They were engaged. And so I’m good friends with her and her husband and they come back and we go over their house and have dinner and they come over here and have dinner. So still good friends with them.

Nice, very cool. Well, they named the Lark after him. Yeah, did they? Yeah, yeah, they did a long time ago.

Yeah, I didn’t know that. I wonder if she does. She know.

I don’t know. It’s nice. It’s a nice gesture, but they also break it.

Create the J Jones. Yeah, the jumpers after Captain J Jones, who was a great guy to Colonel. Yeah, Colonel Jones.

Well, that was his second time. He’s my favorite chicken farmer of all time. Yeah, he was a he was an A&M guy.

He wasn’t a farmer. And he put those cages on top of the backups. That was I don’t know.

That was a weird. That was Edmondson’s idea. That was a weird one.

It was Edmondson. Oh yeah. It’s like everybody who dies doesn’t name a room after him.

I’m like, I don’t know if I’d like that. How about you, Kevin? I know what room I’m getting named after me. The data chase.

Don’t bring a black light down there with the with the MRE’s and the cops use condoms. Well, I guess for me, it’s it’s really like a three way tie only because OGB’s was was an office of really that we got together. And I think Bernd can contest to that that that we really got to know a lot of people and the two of them that I really got close with was Mike Young and Mike Mariner.

Yep. During the Johnnio situation and everything. You know, and I got to know Mike on two different occasions from OGB and now he was the commander.

He just left and Scott Wright is now the commander. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. He’s doing great.

So it was, you know, getting to know them and everything. I think they gave me a new profound. Who is pouring something? Or is that Jake taking a piss? What is that? He’s probably taking a piss in the closet.

Are you pissing in a cup? No, I was getting more water. I thought I muted it though. No, I thought I muted the mic.

Is that outgoing or incoming? No, it’s just incoming. It’s circular. Sorry, Kevin.

Go ahead. No, you’re good. You’re good.

You know, no, just I don’t think we ever looked at each other upstairs as officer and enlisted. I think we just thought together as a team and the third person will be schoony-scooned, schoon maker. I’m not sure.

Yeah, I worked closely with the moment because I was the superintendent up there and you know, going through all the situation with with Hardesty with God, I can’t even remember his name where his wife put in. They kicked his wife off the base because she was they had like three kids in the house and one of the kids called him and apparently there was a restraining order and one of the kids called him while he was at the gym and then whenever he called back his wife answered and she goes, you just violated a no contact order and she tried to report to a schoon maker and schoon maker goes, that’s not the way this works and then the second their divorce was final they went out and schoon maker goes, go get her and escort her off the base. And I thought that was that was perfectly done by schoon maker.

So yeah, schoon maker, young and mariner on my best. That’s very good. You know, we could keep going.

I mean, we’re like an hour and 20 minutes. This has been great, man. This has been great.

Let’s do this real quick. What’s the best nicknames that you remember? You know, for me, Chico. Big V. Chico White, baby.

Hey, that’s my boss. What are you talking about? Big V? Big vagina. He’s my boss now.

He throws your boss. Yeah, he’s my boss. Yeah, he’s my boss now.

Well, I didn’t know that. Yeah, that guy, when they won the contract, he came to me and he’s like, hey, I just want to give you a heads up, but we’re going to try to take over what you’re doing right now. I was like, really? Because yeah, I just wanted to make sure that you had a heads up on that.

I was like, that’s not my contract. But everybody always thought everybody thought Big V was something else, but that means Big Vietnamese, but people always took it another way. Yes, it does.

Not mean Big Vietnamese. Yes, it does. Not if you talk to the guys who gave him that call.

Yeah, but he’s my boss now. So I got to say Big V. Oh, you sell out. You sell out.

You gave me the real story. Yeah, it is flying. I wish I wish we had more time because I didn’t want to give us some nicknames.

Who is the scooter? Even though that’s his name, he’s Vern. I don’t know him by Mike Johns. I know him as Vern.

I’ve been calling him Vern since one side. Yeah, Teapot. Of course, Teapot is the best.

Sexiest man of space command. Like, like that. That’s like that one.

That dude was absolutely legendary in my mind. I could tell you so many stories about motherfucker, man. And then when him and Corey Hume got together, it was just like, what is going on? Ridiculous.

And Johnny Fuckeron is also up there because Jake, man, you are legendary for, if you’re not busy, then I’m not busy. Like, we all know that. But wait, getting off nicknames for a second.

I want to mention the triumvirate of the three, four nationals when you had Joe Mordue. Who was the Brit? Joe Mordue, yum. And then Jane Cox.

Loves that. Jane Cox. Jane loves that.

Jane loves that. That’s her nickname. That group, that was, they were fun.

That was a good party. Ridiculous. And the little Brit, the little other Brit that hung out with Jane.

That’s why I couldn’t remember. I couldn’t remember anything, right? Yeah, you know, I went to tech school with Jude Butler and Dent. Jude Butler.

Screwed over Clint big time. Because she was tiny. She was like five foot or something like that.

Maybe even shorter. Yeah, I forget her name. You know what, Jackie Thomas? Yeah, Jackie.

Yeah. Hey, Jake, who was a Canadian? Uh, GSO on our crew, who was like the oldest Canadian corporal in the force. The DSO? Uh, Ted Chilterhosen.

Ted Chilterhosen. Chilterhosen. Chilterhosen, man.

Bill Teddy. He had, uh, he had Baileys and he had coffee every day. That guy, that guy was so funny.

And he was like 40. Yeah, he didn’t care. Like he didn’t care.

No, he did not care. Didn’t he join late? I don’t know. I don’t know how, how enlisted promotions work.

I remember, who was the Canadian captain who got chose to go on the cruise? Anafave. Anafave. Anafave did that to poke somebody in the eye.

Really? Yeah, because the commander wanted to deny his leave. And Anafave was like, guess what? You can’t. I’m going on paternity leave.

And then he got back and they were like, yeah, now you get nothing but shifts. He goes, guess what? I’m going on sailing leave. That’s right.

Because they sent it for like six months or something like that. They couldn’t backfill him. They couldn’t do anything.

And Anafave was just like, fuck you. No, I’ll tell you what. I used to think that all the foreign nationals, they never reported any of their leave.

Because they had so much. No, they never did. They never did.

They didn’t. Well, it was either that or they, they only had to report leave for like on the weekends or something. Like they banked.

Who was the British that allowed it to go, Derek? Who was that British guy that allowed them to table their leave and not submit it? I can’t remember his name. Well, I called him out when Jane Cox was taking leave every Monday through Friday. Rob knows.

And I went after her and then she got mono. Yeah. Do you know who gave it to? I’ve heard stories.

Yes, I’m not going to say his name. I’m not going to say his name. You know, we’ve been doing, we’ve been doing a lot of stories lately about all the uniform changes and stuff like all the lax standards that they’re trying to do to bring people in.

And my mind, you know, I mean, if you walk on Buck, or if you walk on any base now, it’s just like I was telling to Jake the other day. You see a bunch of guys in uniforms with beards and stuff and you’re like, oh, that’s the Pakistanis. I was like, no, it’s the U.S. Air Force now, right? Yeah.

But you go to all these standards that are lowered and I always go back to Chief’s story when he got pulled into EO because he was doing the right thing and he was like, hey, your flight suit’s too tight. Yeah, I know. That was Terranora.

Oh, my God. You’re a son of a bitch for that. I know.

We all hated you for that, actually. Yeah, you know that. Do we hate him? Yeah, he’s power riding.

Hey, good job, Chief. She thought I hated her after that. But I’ve talked to her, I mean.

No, right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I can’t even see that flying nowadays.

I mean, my God, the uniform standards is just weird. If you go on base, man, you see some of these girls that are so big, these big chunky donkeys waddling around on the base and it just frustrates the shit out of me. Hey, man, you have not seen the new girl that’s on the mission side right now.

Dude, dude, you would shit a brick, dude. You would shit a brick. That’s because your PT test is a fitbit.

She has a waiver for PT test. Who is this? So, I don’t want to mention names, but I’m telling you, she’s got to be at least 300 pounds. I’m on the other side of this.

I don’t give a shit. Can you do your job? What’s your job? Problem is, the problem is, that’s representing the Air Force that I served 26 years. That girl’s representing the Air Force as she walks around looking like that.

Cool. Can you do your job? If you can do your job, well, I don’t give a shit. Do your job.

My job is the upholding. Probably not. Yeah, but my big problem is, I was with some of these people.

I was in Iraq. We went out on a mission and we had this one kid on the mission. He was probably about 5’8″, 280.

Just a huge fat little fuck. And we’re out and we’re humping with 60 pound rocks with all our battle rattle on. And this fucker gives out.

He literally gives out. He’s like, I can’t breathe. I got to stop.

I got to stop. We have to stop. We have to make a circle formation or circle around this fat fuck.

And we’re out in the middle of the desert, man. We were going from hut to hut, hitting these huts, checking for weapons and stuff. And we had to stop and take a knee and everybody had to lock in load, point a weapon out because we had people going by and we didn’t know who’s going to take shots at us.

And man, when we got back on base, I cussed out everybody, all the all the colonels, everybody. I said, don’t ever send another fat motherfucker out on a mission with me. You’re going to fucking get everybody killed because this fat fuck wants to sit back and eat hamburgers and drink fucking colas all day.

That shit will never fucking happen again. And, you know, in those combat areas, they let us get away with that. But I just, I chewed every fucking body out, man.

And I guarantee this commander, he was like, hey, man, just calm down, calm down. I’m no fuck everybody. Yeah, we all thought we were going to get hit out there.

And I was like, I can’t see this one woman could not run to the many in two minutes. It would take her at least 15. You got concealment and cover behind.

You’re not a fool. You can’t do your job. That’s what I have an issue.

I don’t care about your position over her prostate body there. You’ll be all right. We could probably go for another couple hours, but, you know, we’ll call it.

I mean, goddamn, we didn’t even get to some of my favorite stories. I love y’all. Some of my favorite stories are.

And Marty is part one. It’s kind of part one because I could go. Oh, the guy who we sent over to the to the to the dorm was playing golf for six months.

And nobody knew where he was. That guy is a legend. The guy who is who is he was also outside the RA and he was switching tags.

He was switching tags at the BX, right? And he was waiting trial. My favorite part of that is he’s a waiting trial, right? Over in the dorm. He volunteers to become the head of the JJ.

Right. And he goes to the top top three and are like, hey, can you spot us 500 so we can get this JJ underway? And they’re like, yeah, sure. They stroke him a check.

He goes. His trial comes up. He’s off to Leavenworth.

The next guy comes up to take over for the JJ. He goes to the top three. He’s like, hey, could you give us some money for? He’s like, what happened to the 500 bucks we just gave you like six months ago.

They’re like, there’s no 500 bucks. It’s my pocket at the top three money and went off to Leavenworth. I was like, brilliant.

He’s so brilliant. You know, and I know we all got stories like that. We get all we could do that forever.

But those are the ones that make me laugh. Those are really the ones that make me laugh. All the cops on the air on the off floor, all the glass phone booth calls.

I mean, like, God, we could go on. That’s a packet underneath the toilets when you’re going to drive. Yeah, then they’re only all the urine bottles underneath the many and the tiles.

Yeah, like about six months ago. Oh, my God. They found so many urine bottles underneath the tiles.

They have found like at least 60 bottles of urine for round two. Remember that one because I’ve got a story about that. Well, you guys were you guys there when it was like hardware and RGS when they were having that battle between each other and they were leaving notes like this.

There’s a bomb on the door and they actually call the security forces in on those guys. Remember that? But they were also linking their Xboxes and they were playing they were playing Halo all night between the two offices while we were walking in and out of the mini side. So they got an RGS that has a dish the dish network on a tripod when you go out to the walking out the research area.

I want to go there and just turn it. I really do. I want to go there and just turn because we we can’t get TV.

Why should they? What was the gym? What was the little gym? There’s one now the fence up. Yeah, I know. There could be more the gym, right? You can go to that smelly ass gym.

I would tell about the ADF. Yeah, and there was a one in the middle. It was in the middle.

It wasn’t the ADO. Well, it was in the middle. No, it’s not an ADF.

Yeah, it’s in the middle. It was right in the middle. Right, right, right.

Yeah, I remember a story. Aaron Williams went to that gym. Willie, it’s like three o’clock in the morning.

We could trick somebody away to go to the gym. Do you remember they had those polls in the middle of the show? Right? Yeah, sure, sure. Three o’clock in the morning, him and one other guy in there.

Willie’s taking a shower and he opens his eyes and the guy’s standing right next to him. And it wasn’t Jake. Willie and I were just laughing about that the other day.

Really? Well, it was those post showers, right? Yeah, I had the four heads on it. There was like at least two, maybe three posts in that gym. He had plenty of room.

Oh, yeah. He was just like… Hey, what’s up? You’re not talking about the ADF gym. Like there was that ADF gym that was there right across from the basketball courts.

You’re not talking about that one? Yeah, it was in the ADF compound. But it wasn’t part of the ADF. Maybe it was before they put the fence up.

Are you talking about the warehouses? No, no, it was smaller. I think Lucas doesn’t know what he’s talking about. It was part of the ADF complex.

It was. Yeah, it was the ADF gym. I guess.

And they had a bunch of old school equipment and shit like that. We used to go in there all the time, though. We didn’t have to go through like the ADF.

We could walk right into the gym. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was the day before the fence.

Before the front defense. But it is the ADF. I just want to make sure that Sherry and we’re talking about the same things.

I know. I know those posts and everything sounds familiar. Yeah, anyway.

So the only gym that was out there I suppose, whatever it was called. Well, during COVID, there was one in the warehouse too that we used to sneak in. Well, there still is.

They just made a new one. Oh, really? No, I didn’t know that one. So all right.

Any last calls last call? Yeah, my colossemy bag is full. So I got to go. Do this again, Marty.

This is fun. Yeah. All right.

Let’s see if we can get even more people on it. Yeah, we talk a lot of trash, but we love all the people we talked about. Yes, we do.

We do. Absolutely. Yeah, we wouldn’t all be on here if we… Cory dial in and just didn’t come on cam.

Nothing connected. He was there. I popped his profile up, but his cam never connected and his audio never connected.

Cory Bowman and his Dodge Neon SRT4. Oh, my God. And I thought he was… I thought it was that Subaru that he wanted for… No, he wanted a Dodge Neon.

But he had a Neon SRT4 for you. That Neon was his life. Yes, sir.

Yes, you get it, Kevin. That would be fun. Ron, thanks for… Are you still going to overseas here in a couple days or did you get pushback? Yeah, no.

I’m not leaving until the end of April. All right. Where’s your next diving trip? Where’s your next diving trip? Yeah, it’s going to be… I got one going to the Red Sea the end of April then I’m going back to Egypt again in November and June.

I’m going to Uganda to hike in the mountains with the mountain gorillas. I don’t think you can call them gorillas, man. Hey, Ron, are you still doing those boat tours in Egypt at all? So Juan and I are talking about doing that.

So we’re going to get with you at some point because we’re going to bring our spouses and go have some fun. Let me know when you want to do it. That’s what… We had one in April that we were taking a big group.

But after the war broke out in Gaza, we had 29 people going on this big, huge super yacht, man. That would be cool for a group like this because if you guys have never been out on… They call them liver boards, but they’re big mega yachts like the super rich app. And you have a whole crew that takes care of you.

And even if you’re not diving, they got big screen TVs and they got lobbies and stuff. And they got like a little bar area. And you just cruise through the ocean and you got a whole crew of people to just take care of you.

And they have these gourmet chefs on there and they cook all this really good food. And it’s just breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And if you actually valued it out, seven days on there for $13, $1400 a person is a lot cheaper than being at a hotel and then having to buy all your meals and stuff.

And again, you just have a blast, man. This last time, they hooked up this giant slide. They went from the very top of the boat.

It’s about three stories and we’re going down the slide. You guys remember Dee Snider? Yeah. She was the first- At least you were a Swiss sister.

For two Swiss. So her and her husband went with us in March and she was diving. She just got certified to dive.

And so she was diving and she was having a great time. We were having a great time. Her husband didn’t dive.

So our boat captain would take him out on a small dinghy and they would go out and come back with these huge mackerels, man. I mean, literally, he’d come back holding these giant-ass fish because he’d go out and go fishing and grab that. Dee, she was really good in the water and I have more than 500 dives.

So I’m really comfortable in the water and all the dive masters say, Hey, look, we know you’re good in the water. And she was better than all the other beginners. And she got frustrated because all the other beginners were having buoyancy problems going up and down or they would use up their air too quick.

And so she’s like, I’m just tired of this shit. I’m tired of this shit. And I was like, okay, I’ll tell you what.

We went on this big dive, this big sunken ship. And so I said, look, I’ll take you down on the ship and you’ll go down with me and we’ll let all the beginners go and do their own thing. So I talked to the dive masters on the boat and they said, hey, if you got her, we’re okay.

We’re cool with that. So I took her down. She’s a beginner, so she’s not supposed to go more than 60 feet.

And the top of the boat is 80 feet. And we kept going down. I kept checking her air.

I was checking her dive profile. She was doing good. So we just kept going and kept going.

And next thing you know, I thought we were still at the top crest of the boat. When I looked around, man, we’re on the fucking bottom. We’re at 135 feet.

And I was like, holy shit. I was like, shit, man. I’m gonna get in trouble.

I looked and her air was good. And I said, okay. And she was like, no, no, let’s go.

She was telling me, let’s go some more. I’m like, no, we gotta go out. I got you down too fucking far, man.

We gotta go up. So I brought her back and we took our time coming back checking all these big, huge fish and all this stuff. And as we were coming back, I was expecting to see the other 15 people, I was expecting to see them coming up and getting ready to get on the boat.

And we were going back and I’m real good on my air. So I, as good as any instructor or anybody else in the water, I’m really good on my air. And women are better on air than men because their lungs are smaller.

So they don’t breathe as much air. And so D and I, our air was very close. And so we were going up.

I didn’t see anybody. I’m thinking what the hell? Where is everybody? I know these other people can’t stay in the water as long as I can. I’m one of the best divers out here.

And we get back and we end up popping up. We get on the boat and everybody on the boat, man, they were standing on the edge of the boat, looking over the edge, waiting for us to come up because they were like, holy shit. We’ve been on the boat for 20 minutes and you guys have been down there the whole time.

They were like, shit. And they were teasing her husband. He’s a retired E9 from the Marines.

He’s a Marine E9 that worked on the backside of the base. And so we came out and they were telling him, man, run and ran off with your wife. He took your wife and left.

He’s gone. And we get to the boat, man. We get up and everybody’s like, oh shit, man.

We were starting to get worried because we’ve been on the boat for a long time. And I was like, no, no, no. She’s doing good.

No problem. But we just had a blast, man, the whole time out there playing card games and all kinds of other shit, dominoes, watching movies, drinking. Every night after we finished diving, somebody would bring out usually D and then we had another female from Las Vegas.

They bring out these big bottles and we sit there and we started throwing them back. And the cool thing is you got a whole crew that their whole job is just to take care of you for seven days you’re out there. And man, we had a blast.

They let us go up in the top of the cabin. The next time you go to Gaza and scuba diving, don’t encounter me. Hey, that was a great story too.

And if they ever use the words small dinghy, Kevin gets offended from that. Small dinghy. Yeah, that is true.

Ron doesn’t seem to complain. We’ll be in touch. We’ll be in touch.

All right. That’s awesome. Hey, I love you guys.

Thanks for all coming on. And yeah, we’ll see if we can do it again. Yeah, Marty, send us the other invite.

Good to see all you guys. Yeah, we’ll do it. Go Blue.

Bye, guys. Bye, man. You guys take care.

Go Tigers. I love you guys. Derek, Robert, Jake, Fern, Teapot, Ron, and Kevin.

Thanks for listening today. Hey, we’ll see you next time, man. That’s great.

Absolutely. Dude, are we going to post this one? Yeah, post it at the bottom. Okay.

We’re going to have to play thousands. We should have left some of the fucking names off. You got to post it.

No, it’s just going to be like, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. What’s going to be? That’s too much work. I’ll just take the line.

That is true. And then we’ll get to the top of that stuff. All right, guys.

Love you guys. You guys take care. We’ll see you later.

Bye, guys. We’ll see you later.
