“That’s where I got my callsign, Yoko, because I broke up the band.”

Navy veteran, history podcaster, and YouTuber, Mrs. Jenn Bennie (aka Yoko), joins us in our virtual studio for this episode to tell us about her time as a Navy helicopter pilot.

From growing up as a military brat to falling in love with aviation and from search and rescue missions to finding new passions in American history and motherhood, Jenn has made history of her own! Plus, Tom Selleck's bodyguards, being neighborly with Penn State legend LaVar Arrington, gymnastics at the Naval Academy, and so much more!

Jenn joins us in the Free Fire Area as we nerd-out about history, movies, and why France is terrible (except Normandy) - then she turns the tables to ask a Free Fire Area question of her own. How the turntables have turned.

“Drugs and nurses, son.”

All he wanted to be when he enlisted was a "hard hat, torch burning diver,” but Navy veteran, Mr. Brenden McMullen, ended up doing everything else instead.

From a short stint in a hospital basement, to 1st Force Recon, to capturing enemy prisoners in Operation Desert Storm, to training disobedient dolphins to find enemy divers; Mr. McMullen's time in the Navy was the adventure he never knew he wanted.

In the Free Fire Area, Dan and Roger debate which fast food restaurant has the best fries and why it's not McDonalds.
