    Twin Falls Active Shooter

    02/08/2026 | 17 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    An armed citizen refused to sit back and watch.
    Aaron and Trent examine the deadly shooting outside an In-N-Out in Twin Falls, Idaho, where a rifle-wielding attacker reportedly killed two people and wounded seven others. They break down the footage, the unanswered questions surrounding the shooter’s motive, and how an armed citizen returning fire may have prevented an even larger massacre.
    This episode goes beyond the usual gun-control argument. It’s about carrying legally, getting legitimate training, recognizing danger, using whatever options are available, and accepting one ugly reality: denial does not protect you when violence begins.
    Their message is blunt—being armed without being trained isn’t enough, and waiting for somebody else to save you may cost lives.

    Jake Paul's Delusional

    01/08/2026 | 12 mins.

    The confidence is elite. The self-awareness is missing.
    Aaron breaks down footage allegedly showing a group of Navy SEALs in Venezuela doing their best impression of “totally inconspicuous Americans”—complete with backward hats, full-sleeve tattoos, and oversized fanny packs.
    Then Jake Paul cranks the delusion up another level by claiming he could walk into the NFL as a slot receiver. Boxing is brutally difficult, but dismissing the experience, athleticism, and football IQ required to compete against the best players on Earth is world-class rage bait.
    From terrible disguises to comparing yourself with Wes Welker, this edition of Outside The Wire is a master class in confidence outrunning reality.

    Ep 609: Attention Parents

    31/07/2026 | 1h 14 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Peaches sits down with Kaylon, a former Air Force Security Forces military working dog handler, dog trainer, and father of a 17-year-old preparing for Air Force Special Warfare.
    This episode is for the parents.
    Kaylon talks about his time as a Security Forces K9 handler at RAF Mildenhall, his deployment experience, working explosive detection dogs, and eventually transitioning into professional dog training. But the real focus of this conversation is what it feels like as a parent when your kid says, “I want to join the military,” and then starts looking at Air Force Special Warfare.
    They talk about how Kaylon’s son went from considering Navy SEALs to discovering Combat Control, how the family handled that decision, why his mom supports him even while being nervous, and what parents should do when they do not fully understand the path their kid wants to take.
    Kaylon also breaks down why he sent his son to Operator Training Summit, what the experience did for him, how the cadre helped expose holes in his training, and why the event gave his son more confidence that this is the path he wants.
    If your son or daughter is talking about CCT, PJ, TACP, Special Reconnaissance, or any other military path that makes you nervous, this episode is a great place to start.

    Spain INVADED

    31/07/2026 | 15 mins.
    Send us Fan Mail
    Spain’s border didn’t bend—it collapsed.
    In the first edition of Outside The Wire, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches step beyond the usual Air Force Special Warfare conversation to examine the surge of migrants entering Ceuta from Morocco. Aaron breaks down the reported crossings, the Spanish court ruling affecting immediate returns, and why border enforcement decisions carry real humanitarian, financial, and cultural consequences.
    This is a blunt conversation about illegal immigration, assimilation, national sovereignty, media framing, and what the United States should learn from Europe’s mistakes. No sanitized talking points. No pretending borders are optional.

They dig into recruiting momentum, training pipeline friction, Special Warfare course structure, and why talent management—not slogans—is the real force multiplier.
