MBRS 56: Tactical Athletes, Toxic DMs, and the Fine Art of Breaking Rules
In this glorious mess of a members-only episode, Peaches and Trent go full rogue: no guests, no guardrails, just straight-up brain dumps and verbal knife fights. The guys break down the importance of cognitive stress training, Air Force leadership cowardice, and the existential burden of watching “Interstellar” while contemplating your career.
Also on deck:
📽️ B-movie reviews
🧠 Why your brain needs reps too
📣 DMs from angry CCTs
⚖️ Knowing the rules just so you can break them
👊 And why being a tactical athlete doesn’t mean you’re just a meathead
This episode is therapy, chaos, and catharsis with a side of sarcasm. You’re welcome.
🔥 Key Takeaways:
- If your pipeline doesn’t include brain games under fatigue—you’re doing it wrong.
- Tactical athlete ≠ barbell meathead. You’re a thinker who sweats.
- We don’t work for recruiting. We don’t work for you.
- Know the rules. Break them correctly.
- Leadership without judgment is just expensive admin.
- Trent may or may not still be fraternizing with cones.
- And yes… we do read your angry DMs. Then we roast them. 💅
