Ones Ready

Subscriber-only episode Send us a text Welcome back to another episode where Peaches, Aaron, and a walking EOD war story—Charles Howell—drag you down memory lane... kicking and screaming. From nearly tattooing a crab on his chest before basic training to blowing up more IEDs than most people blow up relationships, Charles spills the entire chaotic tea of his two-decade detonation tour. We talk about how EODs were treated like the “red-headed stepchildren of CE,” the comedic incompetence of le...

Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast! This week, Trent sits down with the beard-wielding, strength-slinging savant, Coach Jimmy of Modern Athlete Strength Systems (MASS)—because apparently we still need to explain why doing curls and skipping cardio won’t cut it in Special Warfare. Jimmy drops 20+ years of strength & conditioning wisdom (and shade) on everything from why 30-day programs are garbage, to how being “jacked and useless” is an actual epidemic. They dig into MA...

Send us a text Is free speech dead? Is the Air Force covering up reality? And what the hell is actually happening in Ukraine, the Pentagon, and beyond? In this hard-hitting Ops Brief, Peaches lays down raw, unfiltered truth on military leadership failures, global chaos, and why censorship is creeping into every corner of our lives. 🔥 Why deleting "diversity content" isn’t about fairness—it’s about control. 🔥 Did Trump just son Zelensky on camera? And what does it mean for U.S. aid? 🔥 TacP &a...

Send us a text Budget cuts disguised as “strategy.” Civilian workforce hollowed out while nobody’s watching. Quiet U.S. deployments, Frankenjets getting the spotlight like it’s breaking news, and the Pentagon resurrecting a 2019 Wuhan COVID report... You’re not crazy—this is just the new normal. Peaches dives deep into the week’s military madness, pulling no punches and dropping the kind of hot takes that make PAOs sweat. This episode isn’t about shock value—it’s about confirming your suspici...

Send us a text In this heartwarming, sarcastic, slightly chaotic episode, Trent joins M42 Adventures to unpack 20 years of Air Force Special Warfare—and the wild decision-making process that got him there. Spoiler alert: It all started because he hated being told what to do... so naturally, he joined the military. We dive into what makes someone pursue a path where 90% of people fail, why burning your life down might be the best prep for basic training, and how Ones Ready accidentally became ...

Send us a text Today’s Ones Ready Daily Drop is basically a masterclass in budget cuts, broken jets, bureaucratic gridlock, and spicy Space Force drama—with a splash of congressional nonsense and some suspicious real estate investments for good measure. Jared breaks it all down like a tactical briefing crossed with a roast. We’ve got $15 billion drone programs under review, a B-2 flying over Iran “just to say hi,” and service members getting offered their jobs back after being kicked out over...

Send us a text This one’s not for the weak-willed or the Twitter-triggered. We sat down with Dan Hollaway—co-host of Drinkin’ Bros, host of Citizen podcast, and certified “I’ll die on this hill (and you might too)” patriot—for a gut-punching, no-sugar-coating talk about the death of nuance, America’s dumbest political trends, and why your Tesla-hating barista might actually be on Beijing’s payroll. We go full send on: Tax policy idiocyUseful idiots from both sidesAmerica’s unique actually ear...

Send us a text In today's spicy drop, Peaches' back after a one-day hiatus—sorry not sorry—and he’s coming in hotter than a Chinese stealth jet built entirely out of stolen parts. From the Pentagon reclaiming Panama like it's 1914, to the US Space Force asking for scraps while trying to refuel space warships mid-orbit, this one’s got everything: geopolitical hot takes, budget rants, and even a shoutout to F-15Es babysitting the Pacific while we wait for the F-15EXs to show up fashionably late...

Send us a text In this episode of Ones Ready, Peaches sits down with Susan and Korey, two legendary instructors teaching Air Traffic Control at Combat Control School—yes, actual ATC, not the “wave your arms at planes” nonsense people assume CCTs do. Susie’s a Gulf War vet with a PhD in aviation (no big deal), and Korey is a former Ranger, CCT, and 7-knee-surgery survivor turned 24-year ATC workhorse. Together, they break down why ATC is the mental crucible of the pipeline, why simulators neve...

Subscriber-only episode Send us a text In this absolute banger of an episode, Peaches and Trent casually disassemble the military-industrial complex, parenting guilt, British censorship, and how not to run a drone program… all while planning t-shirt logistics and surviving haunted Airbnbs. It’s like sitting in on a leadership meeting, a roast, and an existential crisis—all at the same time. We kick things off with crop dusters—no, not the fart kind, the literal aircraft AFSOC spent $2 billion...

Send us a text In this absolute rollercoaster of an episode, CRO #8 Jonathan Harmon returns to finish what he started. The man has survived boat ramps, raging seas, rogue helicopters, and his own dumb decisions—so you know he’s qualified to roast himself and everyone else in the process. We go deep on: Nearly dying multiple times (on purpose), Hazing that would make HR explode, Buddy-breathing with the Devil, And how to fail upward into leadership. Oh—and if you’ve ever wondered what happen...

Send us a text Welcome to your daily dose of unfiltered chaos, where Peaches breaks down the news like a sledgehammer breaks through PR-approved nonsense. This ain’t your polished AFN brief—this is the real rundown, straight from the Ones Ready bunker. Spoiler: if you love taxpayer-funded crop dusters, British police overreach, or beard policies held together by ETP duct tape—you’re in for a treat. From the Panama Canal to Star Wars-era missile defense, the DEI purge of Maya Angelou, and the ...

Send us a text Welcome to the most line-stepping, career-defying, rule-dodging episode in Ones Ready history. We’re joined by none other than Jonathan Harmon—PJ-turned-CRO, Red Wings rescue mastermind, tactical genius, and part-time aircraft hijacker (allegedly). From failing swim tests and skydiving with squirrels in Florida, to running the Combined Air Operations Center during Operation Red Wings, Harmon proves one thing: you don’t need a six-pack or clearance to change the entire course of...

Send us a text It’s April 4th, and Peaches is bringing you the news that makes commanders panic and E-4s roll their eyes. Today’s drop hits everything from AFRICOM possibly getting stuffed back under EUCOM (because geography isn’t real), to a $2 billion gunship that looks like it flew straight out of Planes (2013). Meanwhile, the Air Force is grounding pregnant aircrew, the Space Force is begging for a bigger allowance, and a fired general’s name is blasted across the DoD like a bad Yelp revi...

Send us a text Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where your BS gets exposed faster than a fake pipeline story at selection. In this banger of an episode, Aaron, Trent, and recurring badass John Mollura (former NASA engineer turned keynote speaker) dissect the real reason you keep procrastinating—and spoiler alert—it’s not your schedule. Turns out, your “time management problem” is actually a fear problem. Fear of failure. Fear of success. Fear of being average in front of other people. ...
