    BOLD!!!!
    Honestly, fresh and normal takes. However, the Apple podcast logo needs to be updated?

    Too pro Russia. I don’t need that in my life. The audio quality is bad too

    Catering to the smallest niche of the veteran population
    What made ZBT great was that you had diversity of thought; an officer, SNCO, and NCO all coming from different backgrounds and experiences. Now it’s just 3 hosts from the same service academy-upper-middle/middle class background that all think the same and are conversing in an echo chamber. I’m going to start playing a new game: how long into the episode before someone brings up West Point/naval academy?… betcha can’t make it 2min.

    Love this show.
    Big change of direction. First episode had me super intrigued about the new change. I look forward to the point of views, perhaps, even more than before. Thank you for keeping this going in some manner.

    Chaps belongs in jail for what he did to his kid
    Glad he’s gone

    Today’s Episode
    Glad to see the show is back up and running. Gonna miss Chaps and Kate input but it’s nice to be introduced to the new cohosts. Great first episode, looking forward to what’s to come.

    Like ZBT But More Fasci
    This is like ZBT was, but Cons has replaced Kate and Chaps with apologists for the trump administration. The three of them are working hard to do all the mental gymnastics that it takes to pretend that things are being done in good faith.

    Blast from the past!
    Listening away to your podcast that I just found and you guys nail it for a veterans podcast! Well I also realized that Chaps used to haze me at k9 school and Katie was in MP support company with me. Thanks for doing all you guys do. Much appreciated! Semper fi

    “The View” ( Military version)
    Listener for over two years until recently. Thoroughly enjoy the military history, dark humor, long form interviews, first person storytelling, military news pieces. As soon as you turn it into a political platform I switch it off. All of you served you know better. Clean it up. Get back to your roots. Unity not division.

    August 29th Episode
    This episode gave me chills! Kate’s emotions while retelling the story had me hooked and on the edge of my couch. Thank you for sharing your stories with us!
  • annoyed phillies fan
    This veteran says no thanks
    This pod is a leftist, liberal propaganda machine disguised as a veteran podcast. Yuck
  • O-Pac
    Lib Blog 30
    Full episode glazing Walz vs. full episode mocking Vance and not even once acknowledging his legitimately humble beginnings and military service. And he’s a fellow Marine. It’s getting gross guys.

    An Important Episode Tainted by Kate
    Today’s episode was so well done and very balanced, but Kate absolutely ruined it. She just sounded so unintelligent and didn’t contribute anything to a much needed conversation. I was embarrassed for her and I normally love Kate, but she did zero research for today’s episode and honestly, shouldn’t have even chimed in.
  • papastrenke
    Eh
    Cons is super annoying
  • Hdshh
    Ad placement needs work.
    Great show, I listen as often as possible. If you could just place advertisements between sentences or paragraphs instead of just cutting out to an advertisement in the middle of a word.
  • Ya boy Wilson
    Great show for ASVAB waivers
    It's just three people who constantly agree on issues because they’re afraid of any confrontation with each other despite having opinionated viewpoints. Also, Cons is absolutely boring. He makes the Army look bad and is potentially the sole reason why recruitment numbers are so low.
  • Panhandle Pete58
    Awesome Podcast!
    Awesome job! Very funny and insightful!
  • Georgia Boy US sailorman
    Interesting
    Love all of the random topics discussed here. Great job keep it going.

    This show is fantastic, and I appreciate having it there twice a week. I do wish they’d go back to playing the actual “Retreat” at the end, though. I really miss that.

    Production Concerns
    I've been listening to this podcast for at least 4 years and love the content, banter, interviews and not commonly reported stories. I have reached a point where I get increasingly frustrated by the sound mixing going from one host to another having to go full volume to hear and having my ear drums blown out by another saying "mm-hmm". The intro and outro also are vastly ghee volume than the entire rest of the show. This isn't the first time I've complained about this. I find it hard to believe I am the only person with this concern. I do not have these issues with any other podcasts I listen to
  • wbrady755
    Getting worse as the years go on.
    Dumping advertisements all over the shoe, seems like they are getting too far removed from the military to accurately discuss current events. Also, terrible volume control. How doers a company as big as barstool not have the capital to fix this?! Commercials are twice as loud as the hosts, and host volumes aren’t balanced whatsoever

    If there was one more Popeyes commercial on the episode about killer robots, I’m gonna act up!

    Long time Listener
    I have listened to this Podcast from the very Beginning when it was just Chaps and Captain Cons it was awesome and then when Kate joined the Show the sky’s been the limit. I’m an Army Infantry OIF 3 Veteran and was Medically Retired after 16 years. The show is serious my therapy twice a week on top of the Counseling I go to. When I’m having a tough time a go back and listen to my favorite episodes they make me laugh and cry and just feel because as most Vets know during our Service we were taught to drive on and not to deal with our feelings and once we redeploy it’s ten times worse coming home. Just want to say thanks to Chaps, Cons and Kate for this show and I highly recommend it to not just Veterans but everyone who loves Podcasts.
  • JWX08
    Let Cons Talk
    If Kate disagrees with Cons she just talks over him until chaps says I guess we won’t agree. Great discourse
  • jhsgenebys
    Meh
    Show stinks now.
  • 223534553
    Just bad
    I’ve listened on and off for a few years. Lately it’s just been horrible. Kate is absolutely insufferable. Brainless gross comments all the time, and talking that goes nowhere. Chaps is not as bad as Kate, and cons is pretty consistently cool. I hope they cancel this show like they did podfathers
  • hot1stbaseman
    Great
    Love the show Chaps and Kate make a great duo making fun of Cons never gets old. I do miss Kyle however no love lost with Nick tho!
  • Elle Flem

    Been listening for years, love it even though I don’t have military ties
  • Bpking2309
    Just for Nick
    I’m just doin this for Nick, cause Chaps can’t read anyway.

    2 of the best
    Nicest genuine people at barstool. Loved when they are ever in the mix of other shows or this one.
  • ty crabbin
    Music
    Please stop with the EXTREMELY loud music at the end of the show
  • tomames42
    Served in AmeriCorps
    This show is awesome, was never in the armed forces, only AmeriCorps, wish I’d done something bigger like the Coast Guard after listening to this show. Give it a listen.
  • notgaysvencomputer
    Lefties gonna left
    I continue to listen as a conservative to see what the other side says. The one star is for the bravery in sharing the hard to talk about issues. Most of the topics discussed and the opinions expressed I disagree completely with. I do hope for the continuation to exercise the inalienable first amendment rights in this podcast.
  • ACPDP83
    Loop hole
    Go back to playing whatever music as an opening. Just discuss the song for a couple minutes afterwards and you stay within the confines of the law
  • kara the super dog
    Disappointed
    The Round about Tulsi Gabbard was very disappointing. You three are better than this…. You three basically repeated MSM talking points… Proud of Tulsi for her efforts. I enjoy listening to the show nevertheless.
  • the Guy who knows podcast
    It's up and down
    Was my favorite for years but then it will get very political and woke and then it will be funny and about the military again
  • Reviews. De Tellim
    You know the crew
    Ole fancy boy cons. And who can forget that ole lib chaps. And everyone’s fav… ole long neck Kate. Yep. Haha.

    You don’t do the “this recruit” thing nearly as much anymore, and I NEED it.

  • grumpyoldsarge
    Love the show
    Listen to the show all the time. The round about the MPs was great. The MPs at FT Chaffee are dicks. Got pulled over and the guy rear ended me. Somehow it was my fault until the dash cam got reviewed.
  • Seanwalsh21
    Favorite pod
    I’m not a military member but this is my favorite podcast I’ve heard.. it feels like you’re chilling with your friends.
  • jake5019
    Embarrassment
    Embarrassing that they represent the military in any form. Just a bunch of winey know it all’s.
  • n19582758920
    Matthew cothron = felon
    Uncle chaps or Matthew cothron is an a convicted felon and anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt.
  • bel(silent k)nap
    Audio
    Love the show but the audio and editing since Kyle has left has been absolute trash. Borderline unlistenable when one person is normal volume then the next you can barely hear or they sound like they’re underwater.
