    Wow, he jumped right out of the gate and took control of the podcast and got Mike talking about dogs. that’s the quickest rapport building exercise I’ve ever seen. a bit obvious, but it freaking worked

      lol, I'm certain the conversation starter was pre-agreed. It's a quid-pro-quo. Andrew draws in his crowd to the podcaster and the podcaster gets more exposure to his/her businesses. It's a business transaction

      I noticed that with this interview as well as the one on srs Andy doesn't put up that hard ass wall if you will. He humbles himself because this is a rare occasion where he's around men who are not just his peers, but peers who were actual on the ground war fighters. Kinda like if you had 2 marines who have been deployed to a warzone, 1 might be a staff sargent pencil pusher in admin and the other is a corporal but was infantry with multiple combat deployments & has a body count. There's a mutual respect between the 2 that regardless of rank the corporal who was kicking in doors is the Alfa.

    The way that Andrew describes educating his kids at home is exactly the way that I educated my son at home right through high school. He went on to College as someone who is able to teach HIMSELF anything that he is interested in learning and has not lost his love of learning and knowledge by having it destroyed by traditional schools.

If you take "try" out of the equation, i personally feel like it substantially raises success rate. How can it not? Super interesting guy and show.

Freedom of wild masses screaming or freedom of accepting life as it is and standing against the freely wild. Where is the line of freedom drawn? The beauty of this America. Keep along to get along. Get a little too much, than a little too much could come your way. Come and get it.

I’d go out for ball teams to prove to myself I was good enough even never practicing like others to make the teams but I couldn’t ask a single mom of 3 to fork over $ for sports when she went to work at 4am getting off at 230 & going to another job till midnight then she worked most weekends. I told myself I’d have kids & they would know I love them & I’ll do anything so they don’t do without & just know I love them.,

    Yeah, I have some counter points to a couple things said. Dark web first of all is not all illegal etc. Deep web are just areas that are not index. Most of these things are behind passwords or are not scrubbed. For example Facebook is part of the deep web. Even with hardened phones there are still pretty blaring exploits especially if they using a widely used provider for example one being SS7 exploits. I am just gunna say it, if someone or a collection of individuals want to get you, they will. I personally would love to see what technical methods they are using to "geofence" or track individuals which is legal. I know there are many loopholes. I would implore people to look into programs such as Pegasus, kinda wild and has been used to track and murder/kidnap individuals. Pegasus is not only used by governments, but also private companies. That concludes my rant for today lolol. Thanks Andrew for the talk and Mike thanks for all the hard work.

    It's becoming clear to me that every former "CIA spy", even when seemingly super-critical of the agency, is saying and portraying something beneficial to the agency. Like "I was there, the torture didn't work, I'm angry or ashamed nobody got punished but at least we don't do it anymore. Egg on our face right guys? Probably shouldn't ever worry about that silliness again!"
