Donny O'Malley is an actor, writer and of course is the creator of Veterans Entertainment Television - an online streaming service by veterans for veterans. He is the founder of Irreverent Warriors an organization bringing veterans together for silkies hikes with 22 kilos of gear for 22 kilometers in an effort to curb veteran suicide. Donny joins me today to talk about the disconnect between real veterans and service members and the public's perception. Does this disconnect lead to veteran suicide? What can we do to help drop this number down and how is humor, laughter, and camaraderie the best medicine we know!   Visit 21 Gun's Website  Instagram Facebook  Twitter

A few years and several combat deployments later he found himself missing a leg thanks to an IED encounter in Northern Iraq. Hear Chad's inspiring story of overcoming a devastating physical injury and ultimately reaching the pinnacle of terra firma Earth - Mount Everest.   Links: Paradox Sports   Visit 21 Gun's Website  Instagram Facebook  Twitter

Dan Maillard is a former Marine who joined the service straight out of High School. He served as Marine One Crew Chief on the VH60N at HMX-1. For all those who don't know - that's the president's helicopter and the crew chief is responsible to keep it flying. He then transitioned from the Marine Corps to the Secret Service Uniform Division as a Police Office, worked with the FBI on Counterterrorism. Dan comes on to the show today to talk about Irreverent Warriors, an organization whose mission is to bring veterans together using humor and camaraderie to improve mental health and prevent veteran suicide. They organize "Silkies Hikes" where veterans wear their trademark training "short-shorts" while carrying 22-kilogram packs and hiking for 22 kilometers. It's a tremendously successful organization and I will be participating on June 15th's Silkies Hike in Fayetteville, NC.   For more information visit www.irreverentwarriors.com Visit 21 Gun's Website  Instagram Facebook  Twitter Are you a veteran?

So, if you've been a fan of the show for any amount of time, you probably noticed that the most recent episodes have been a little different from the "classic" episode format. I'm aware of this and have been trying to figure out the future of the program. I was on the verge of discontinuing the podcast altogether! Luckily, I made a trip to Bourbiz, a veteran entrepreneur networking group and I found my answer. It is good news and the WWI Podcast isn't going anywhere! There will be some changes but they will only improve my content and make for better programming! Thanks for listening and please head over to www.waitwhatif.com for everything WWI!  

S4E2: I start the show explaining my epiphany on the deal with AOC. I could figure her out for the longest time and then it hit me: she's an adult teenager! This transitions into the Assault Weapons Ban 2019 and why I personally own firearms. What is the meaning of carrying a weapon? What are your odds of actually needing one? Could the real problem be swimming pools? Finally, with all the talk about your odds of dying via guns, I delve into the odds of dying in any given year and how some people face certain death boldly. Grim topics, I know but they make for interesting discussion.  Enjoy KS www.waitwhatif.com

Ten years ago Tom Naughton was filming a series about his struggle with weight loss when he came upon a popular film called "Supersize Me". Morgan Spurlock's famous war against the Golden Arches took the world by storm but its underlying premise didn't sit well with Tom so he decided to make a movie testing his hypothesis. Could nutritional recommendations we've been fed over the past 50 years be totally wrong?!  For more info visit Tom's site : http://www.tomnaughton.com Tom's Twitter: @TomDNaughton Fat Head Movie: http://www.fathead-movie.com/ Fat Head Kids Movie/Book: https://www.fatheadkidsbook.com/ Of course, visit the home of the WWI Podcast for past episodes and more at www.waitwhatif.com Follow me on twitter @WWIPodcast
