MBRS 54: $2B Crop Dusters & British Hate Crimes
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 on instead of investing in drone tech that actually works at elevation. Then we spiral into public affairs drama (hi PAO 👋), complain about retired intel officers who suddenly think they know how to run special ops, and go deep on fatherhood and why we’ll never get it right (but we’re gonna keep trying anyway).
There’s also a solid takedown of British “hate speech” laws, a nostalgic breakdown of the chaos of pipeline prep, and a reminder that the best way to become famous is to get arrested by the UK’s constables.
You’ll laugh, you’ll get fired up, you’ll want to call your kid and apologize for being on your phone earlier.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- AFSOC spent $2 billion on a glorified crop duster that can’t fly far, high, or long. But hey, at least it looks like it does something.
- Our drone program? Worth about 1.3% of that. But sure, let’s keep crashing them into Walmart roofs.
- Military leadership sometimes cares more about “protecting the image” than fixing the actual problems.
- Honest feedback is rare because people look up to you—until they're behind your back calling your event “mid.”
- Being a dad is mostly wondering if you were emotionally unavailable this week or just tired.
- If you’re gonna shoot someone in self-defense—make sure they’re dead. Not our words, just... ask any cop.
- The British will arrest you for saying mean things in a group chat. Jared hopes they try.
- Haunted Airbnbs are still better than futons.
- Introverts are people too. They just talk less and feel more.
- Being real gets you shadowbanned. Being loud gets you cancelled. But being honest? That gets you members.
