Social Media has been ablaze with chatter about the fever dream of Brandon Herrera joining the Trump cabinet to head the BATFE. I personally salivate over the thought, and look forward to the abject terror of the bureaucrats should he face a Senate confirmation hearing. Five years ago, Brandon joined our little podcast for some fun conversation about his journey into social media, the gun industry, and this insane project he was just starting to work on to make a 50BMG Kalashnikov pattern rifle.

I hope you enjoy this walk down memory lane, and if you want Brandon back on the show, I encourage you all to find him on social media and ask him to come visit your favorite lunatics again.

A random reel crawls across Gillian's feed late one evening, prompting her and Phil to ask their daughter some questions. The answers were surprising, and not surprising. The effect though, was gaining some understanding and insight into the changing personality of their child.

Out of an abundance of respect for the people caught in the unfolding disaster, the MoF crew has held off from discussing Hurricane Helene and the situation it has caused in North Carolina and the surrounding areas. Now, friend of the show Eddie Davenport, joins the boys to talk about what he saw unfold in his community and beyond.

Fear of judgement. Self doubt. Self sabotage. Questioning one's worth, knowledge, or experience. All of these and more can be massive emotion roadblocks preventing us from achieving that which we have laid before us, from becoming are best version of ourself. And each of us, no matter what we have accomplished in the past, can fall prey to it.

Ever been asked when you're having kids/having more kids? Or why your child is an only child? Or ever felt as though someone, through malice or honest curiosity, was opening up a jar full of worms? Gillian and Phil unpack some of those questions at the table, proving that some topics really should be left in private.
