Peaches sits down with Idaho SWAT officer and 600-pound deadlifter Chris Jacob to drop some uncomfortable truths about what it really means to look, act, and perform like a professional. From chasing suspects to coaching CrossFit, Chris doesn’t sugarcoat how being out of shape in uniform isn’t just lazy—it’s dangerous.

They get brutally honest about law enforcement culture, the myth of “less aggressive policing,” and why your command presence might be the only thing keeping someone from pulling the trigger. Chris opens up about losing 75 pounds, founding Guardian Labs, and using peptides to recover faster and train harder—all while raising a family and mentoring new recruits.

Peaches and Chris dive into everything from tactical fitness, accountability, and police discretion to what happens when your “desk job” becomes your downfall. This episode isn’t about politics or excuses—it’s about showing up, shutting up, and setting the standard.

If your gut’s hanging over your belt, consider this your wake-up call.
