Ep 580: Another Assassination Attempt?!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Peaches, Aaron, and Trent are back—and this one starts like a normal episode… then immediately spirals into “how is this real life?”
We’re talking a THIRD assassination attempt, security failures that make zero sense, and a public reaction that’s basically… meh.
But it doesn’t stop there. The guys dive into conspiracy territory—dead scientists, anti-gravity tech, and whistleblowers conveniently disappearing right before testimony. Yeah… that part.
Then they pivot (hard) into something they actually know: the A-10 debate. Why it’s still one of the most effective platforms out there, why leadership keeps trying to kill it, and the real problem nobody talks about—logistics, cost, and the lack of a real replacement.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Ones Ready without chaos—Vegas reunions, monster-fueled instructors, and the reality that most “highly trained professionals” are absolutely not running toward random danger.
Bottom line: the world’s getting weirder, the decisions aren’t getting better, and you probably aren’t getting the full story.
