This week Will welcomes Army veteran Matt Brafford, who was stationed with Will at Ft. Drum, NY. They discuss reasons for joining the military, as well as obstacles faced when transitioning from a military to a civilian life. As usual fun stories and stories of pranks and military life are discussed. Scott dances through the entire episode, but Will is the only person lucky enough to see it. Our apologies to Ahmed for having to cancel on such short notice upon news of Matt's availability.

Ep64 - Matt Brafford

This week Will talks to his brother, comedian/ actor Steve Byrne. They discuss his upcoming special, as well as his upcoming shows. They also touch on 9/11 and how it led them down two very different paths, and Steve tells us about his time overseas doing USO tours. Scott injects his razor sharp wit into the show, as per usual.

Ep63 - Steve Byrne

This week Will welcomes back Vietnam Veteran and actor Dan Lauria. Dan tells us a bit about his recent play in NJ and NY. They also discuss his time in Vietnam, as well as other Vietnam veterans and some of the situations they get into and how they band together. They discuss veterans going back to places they've deployed for unfinished business, and a bit about how people who don't support the wars should aim it all at the politicians instead of the troops themselves. Scott provides a very tiny bit of useful information. And our apologies to Ahmed for running out of time, hopefully next week.

Ep62 - Dan Lauria

This week Will welcomes Marine veteran and comedian James P Connolly, they discuss joining the military, and deploying to different wars. They talk about fun times in the military as well as the real times. James tells us about a lot of soldier and veteran based comedy shows, like his veterans show at Flappers in Burbank on Nov. 5th. And as usual Scott says some words in order, non-sequentially. Unfortunately we did not have time for our interview with Ahmed.

Ep61 - James P Connolly

This week Will and Scott would have talked to Dan Lauria, but they were late, so he left, so they talk to Vietnam Veteran Mike Sulsona. He tells us about some of his time in Vietnam during and well after the war. They also discuss his situation that went viral about Lowe's employees helping him fix his wheelchair, and generally being someone who helps people. They talk briefly about how a story can be spun into something completely different. Our apologies for not having enough time for Ahmed.

Ep60 - Mike Sulsona

This week Will welcomes his good friend and combat brother Russell Peterson. Will and Russell served in the same company at Ft. Drum, NY and deployed to Iraq together. They discuss why they joined the infantry as opposed to any other MOS. Russ tells us about his time doing combative competitively, and traveling to Ft. Bragg to compete, and ultimately lose. Russ also explained some of the differences you see when you go from being active duty in an infantry unit, to being in a reserve unit you got called back into. All the while Will and Scott are faced with a very revealing picture of Will sent in by Russ.

Ep59 - Russell Peterson

This week Will welcomes back comedian Adam Richmond, Adam tells us about his upcoming project for the Marines Comedy From the Corps. They discuss the obstacles he's facing trying to get this project going, as well as the rewarding experiences he's had since starting it. They also discuss the political correctness in America, and being censored while performing. Scot does the episode naked.

Ep58 - Adam Richmond

This week Will welcomes back Josh O'Brien, they discuss his upcoming deployment to Okinawa, as well as that he got passed up for the promotion he brought up last time. So they discussed his retirement after the deployment, and the comedy show he plans to have for it. They also touch on serving with people who end up doing unexpected things. Will gets a soundboard, not sure that's a good thing. Scott entices us as always with his ever so melodic voice of an angel, with a face to match. Check out Josh O's Radio Show available on iTunes!!!

Ep57 - Josh and Scott, BFFs

This week Will welcomes back actor/ comedian Ryan Dalton. They discuss the tribulations that can arise when moving across the country. Ryan tells us about his big break into show business, with no audition… playing a dead person and the things that can come with that. They talk a bit about the republican debate, as well as the end of the Daily Show. Scott tells us about his ever so interesting trip to Greece, and why on Earth they sent him back to us.

This week, Will welcomes comedian/ Active Navy SeaBee Josh O'Brien. Josh tells us about his upcoming shows and his podcast Josh O's Comedy Show. They both discuss the love of hockey that we all should share. They also discuss how the views of what's being considered racist in America, and how out of hand and stupid it has gotten. And like almost every week they talk a bit about the dirty, smelly guy in every unit. I call mine Scott.

Ep55 - Josh O'Brien

This week Will welcomes actor/comedian Lang Parker. Lang tells us about a few of the organizations she's involved with to help the veterans, The Jimmy Miller Foundation, and The Gallant Few. She also tells us about her time overseas performing for the troops, and how rewarding that was for her, as well as giving us a civilian point of view of being in situations that troops deal with everyday. Will talks a bit about a noteworthy album he downloaded from the artist Suppose, the album Why Am I So Happy? And Scott contributes so little, it's as if he wasn't even here at all.

Ep54 - Lang Parker

This week Will brings back comedian Steve Simeone, and his friend and Marine Veteran Pat Lynch. They discuss being overseas, as well as the sometimes crazy missions our military people have to perform. They also talk about what it's like to be overseas in a war zone as a soldier. Steve tells us about his very funny cd titled Remember This, available on iTunes. And Scott dazzles us with his wit and sharp tongue.

Ep53 - Steve Simeone & Pat Lynch

This week, roles are reversed, Scott hosts the show, poorly, with an unsuspecting Will Byrne as his guest. They discuss females in the military having to open pickle jars, and as always Will reminds Scott why he's never allowed to have opinions without Will writing them down for him ahead of time. Paid for by the committee to remove Scott from hosting duties, allegedly, and indefinitely, maybe.

Ep52 - Scott Hosts!
