Badlands Media - SITREP Ep. 168: A Green Beret's Story, Cop Tales, and a Close Call

Episode Date: September 11, 2026

CannCon and Alpha Warrior push through a rough night, Alpha fighting off a family cold and CannCon wrangling in studio tech, before landing on the heart of the show. A viewer donation leads them into ...the story of a Green Beret who enlisted after losing his childhood best friend on 9 11, told through his wife's memoir of their short life together. It is one of the more emotional segments the show has done. From there they shift into lighter territory, swapping cop stories, boot camp memories, and reacting to a Gateway Pundit piece on a prosecutor's parting shot at administration officials over evidence standards. Alpha also drops a candid, almost eulogy style reflection on his own close calls that has CannCon telling him to clip it. It is tribute, banter, and a little bit of gallows humor, all wrapped into one SITREP.

Starting point is 00:00:00 The badlands, one of the badlands, explain those badlands. That's a hell of a name. Great. Good evening. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to sit rep. Alpha, eyes on the screen for just a minute here. I'm going to need your attention. It's a commercial, but, oh, and actually, no, it's back in the game.
Starting point is 00:00:24 You can need your attention here for just a minute. Alpha is going to be very distracted this game, so I'm going to... Quick question. Are we in studio? Yes. Okay, because I didn't see the comments in the Rumble comments in their show. Yes, we are on studio on this show. I'll just do the pop-out window.
Starting point is 00:00:41 There you go. How's everybody doing, man? How are you doing? I'm another weather, man. But, you know, still very lucky because I know everybody else has been getting sick has been like just devastated. So I got it, but I'm functional. And I attribute that to all the good shit that we take. Hopefully they're one of our sponsors.
Starting point is 00:01:02 But yeah, it ran around. I think Mama Bear started it, got into the little ones, and eventually made its way to me. And each one of them had it for about three days. This is day number two. It's been a rough day. I'll stay that much, man. But tomorrow's hopefully the last day.
Starting point is 00:01:21 Alts, straight up throwing the misses under the bus there. She works in the medical establishment. So most of the germs that come, either come from her, or they come from taking the kids to the playground? It's not me, man. Listen, I'm the king. It's not me. It's those viral monsters.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Yeah, the problem is, is we live in a very reclusive environment. And we don't get exposed like we used to. We're not around a bunch of people all the time. You know, I know my body's acclimated to that because as a cop, bro, the nasty. Dude, homeless, homeless fights, bro. Imagine, imagine bomb fights, but you're not the bum. Like, you know, Mercer, all that stuff out there, man. You know, I got the, I had to get the cocktail one time because a dude spit blood in our eyes and told us that he had HIV.
Starting point is 00:02:16 Oh. So we got the first series because it takes a while before they get the results back. And so, yeah, dude, we were boots too, man. I had less than five years on. I was probably run that three, four year mark. And yeah, dude, spin our eyes with blood. FD gets there, washes it out with the saline. We get to the ER that our buddies took over.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And they're like, here's the thing. He said he has HIV. It takes time for the results to come back from that. Do you guys want to take the cocktail or not? And so we're like, well, what is that? It's a series of shots that you take for those of you that don't know. And the doctor said, look, if it was me, at least do the first series, given what he said. and, you know, the way you guys described it, he goes, but just stand by, you're going to,
Starting point is 00:03:01 you're be miserable like you've probably never been miserable. Because we're tough guys. We're like, nah, hit us up, man. Bro. Oh, I was like I wish I would have just got to him, bro. Like, it was awful. Awful. Then the following day, we get word back that, nah, he's, he's clean and he was his drunk,
Starting point is 00:03:20 beating up his old lady and wasn't bad. What does the cocktail do? do. That's a good question, man. It's a series of things that they put in you. I mean, who knows? You know what I mean? Who knows? But it's a series of things that you get injected with that are supposed to combat, you know, your exposure to the Hiv. But I guess the key is to get in it really quick. And of course, you know, that's crazy. You know, we got priority. That's cool. Like the second we get into the ERs is like, you know, shout out, shout out to the medical people. They drop everything, you know, and, you know, they take. care of the first responders. But I'll tell you what, man, two, two things that were just absolute miserable experiences was that one. The next one was, remember when I told you that we had a motorcycle fire at the motorcycle barn for the PD and my R1 was parked in there?
Starting point is 00:04:13 So I'm in there with the, you know, with one of the PSAs helping me. We're addressing the fire. And I've said the story, so I won't repeat it. But anyways, we're there. And the FD guys start telling me like, you look fine, you know. However, if you did get damage to your, like, your esophagus in that area, it can start to, you know, like suffocate as you're driving home. Like, it's pretty rapid. They're like, we advise, man, you know, just, you know, be played safe, go to the air, get checked out.
Starting point is 00:04:39 So I was like, okay. Then they give me some apparatus. I'm not going to strive because I told that story before. But anyway, it's long story short, the part that sucks is I get to the ER and they're like, hey, we got to draw blood. So I'm like, okay, I've had blood drawn before. this is called I'm trying arterial
Starting point is 00:04:57 out of your penis no it's it's like an arterial blood draw where they go like into the artery oh oh oh bro wait wait wait wait how do they normally draw blood then a vein
Starting point is 00:05:12 as opposed to your veins yeah I'm sure there's like a nurse in the story or in the chat that can expand upon this but yeah it's It's an arterial blood draw. Bro, that shit, oh,
Starting point is 00:05:26 it hurts, man. And I got a high pain threshold, but that, that, that diggedy, bro, just made me go, oof.
Starting point is 00:05:36 All right. Well, you mentioned our friends over at pet club, so let's go ahead and play that as our first sponsor for tonight. Science proves that a healthy immune system is the body's first offense
Starting point is 00:05:49 against the smallest of ailments to the most catastrophic. Coriola's Versacolor is the most sought after all-natural supplement for both humans and pets to help boost the immune system. There are over 400 studies worldwide on its effectiveness in humans, including Sloan Kennering Cancer Center, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, and now from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary and Medicine, together we can help reverse this terrible tide now plaguing your loved ones and give them the immune-boosting supplements that they need. Badlandsmedia.tv slash pet club. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:30 You want to talk about a... Nah, pissed me off. I already saw it. What? Ram scored. Oh, I didn't see that. I was going to say you want to talk about... You want to talk about your pet club experience.
Starting point is 00:06:45 Here's what I'll say. If I wasn't taking my pet club, I'd probably be going through a far worse experience than I am right now. Because I'm still able to do, like, the stuff that I've been doing. doing today, it's, you know, just feel like shit. But everybody else that I know that's gone, man, they've just been like, hit the floor done. And so the fact that I'm still functional, shout out pet club, man. Shout out pet club. All right. And let's talk about our next sponsor. And that is our friends over at Goldco, gold and silver are back in the headlines.
Starting point is 00:07:19 After an incredible run earlier this year, both medals pulled back a little bit. But recently, they've started climbing again. Gold is once again pushing above the $4,000 mark while silver has rallied sharply as investors return to precious metals amid global uncertainty. Analysts point to continued central bank buying strong physical demand and growing industrial demand for silver as reasons that the long-term outlook remain strong. Every day, more Americans are looking to diversify their assets that have stood the test of time. And that is why now may be a smart time to take a closer look at Goldco for a limited time. Goldco is celebrating America's 250th anniversary with a special offer on qualifying purchases. You'll receive up to 10% in free silver plus a free solar generator.
Starting point is 00:08:01 It's a valuable bonus for anyone looking to strengthen their financial preparedness. If you've been thinking about adding physical gold or silver to your portfolio or simply want to learn more, don't wait. Head to badlandsgold.com and claim your free gold and silver kit and see if you qualify for this limited time anniversary offer. Again, that's badlandsgold.com. check them out on episode 13 of America First Stories and uh you know just not to pat myself on the back but if you guys bought silver when I told you to you guys are really very happy right now happy campers you're up 300 percent 300 percent you know what I learned alpha I thought I learned this on daily I think on Wednesday or Tuesday I thought gold the highest gold ever had been was
Starting point is 00:08:49 121 and that was like earlier this year in January. Gold or silver? Or silver, excuse me, was silver. Was that 121? The inflation adjusted high for silver was in 1980 and it reached with the inflated price. So by today's pricing, it would have been a little bit under $400 an ounce. Get out of here, bro. How much do you think it was in 1980? How much, what do you think the actual 1980 price was? Let's see. So the equivalent of 400 today, what, 100, 100 bucks, 110 bucks? $40. So $40 would have been the equivalent of 400. $350 to 400 by today's standards.
Starting point is 00:09:38 That's crazy, bro. That's crazy. So an audience member from like my actual channel channel, this was like around February. in March I was at an event and they're like hey man I bought so you know what we talk about he goes I bought silver like when you first started talking about it he goes I want to show you something and he he shows me the portfolio bro I was just like you know like I expect the tip like I ain't even gonna lie like I expect I expect the tip and that tip better have a fucking comma too like holy shit bro my my yeah my only regret with my silver was that i didn't buy as much as i did i got i got a good
Starting point is 00:10:28 chunk i you know i took some savings i had you know savings from the military and everything else that was sitting in like a interest you know savings account making two percent or whatever and i was like let me do let me do this let me just pull the trader got like all these boxes shipped to me because it's in physical silver got it locked in the safe secure and um the the uh the one thing i regret is that it didn't have more money you know i didn't have because let's just put it this way i bought enough silver that when it was up at 121 i could have paid off my mortgage and i'm not going to say the person's name so i i can say the amount because i'm not saying you're not saying the name so the amount they showed
Starting point is 00:11:08 me was almost seven million dollars holy yeah yeah bro yeah wow so let's do the math so their investment was probably what like a million two well that's what i was going to ask you you're the math guru guy so if i remember correctly i think it was like 2022 when they bought in about what so what do you what do you think they bought in for it to have been closer i think it was like six million that was like six point seven million what did they sell it at well they didn't sell it they still had it oh oh so if they bought if they bought in it was seven it was seven million dollars at what price no no no what i'm saying is the price they when they showed it to me the balance they had was it was 6.7 million.
Starting point is 00:11:50 And what was the price of silver at that time? Man, that's when it was at, it's like peak. That's what, like, it's like when it went stupid high. So like 121? Yeah, it was right around that time. They bought in at 20, then that's a five-old increase. So they put about a million and a half bucks in, I would say, somewhere around there, a million and a half. I mean, that's a, that's a hell of an investment right there.
Starting point is 00:12:12 I mean, I, you know, at that time, I don't even think, you know, Bitcoin may have been, a better investment when it was at its peak but not right now it wasn't i mean i bought it right now's the time to buy though yeah well now's a great time to buy bitcoin and silver and so i think silver's going to go up exponentially here soon um i think all signs point to that so all right um so we won't we won't we won't bore you guys with all of the silver talk um i do want to point out we're just daydreaming me here bro i'll tell you what though i'll tell you what there was a cool ass audience member at one of the garts that gave me a cool cool cool as silver silver gift and i i'm not going to say any names but if you're watching freaking you are awesome freaking awesome awesome um i still have it
Starting point is 00:13:09 I let the kids hold. I just realized I'm a co-hosts is gone. He didn't die. Folks, you didn't see him. I'm like, he didn't stroke. Oh, I have the same coin.
Starting point is 00:13:18 I've gotten a few of them. And I wasn't, I wasn't paying attention. So I was like, I was asking the audience, it makes sure he didn't get like, ah, I can go out like that.
Starting point is 00:13:29 All right. They've given, and I don't want to docks the individual, but they've given, they've given me a silver coin, Trump coin at several guards. I think three or four now. and I've got them all in my safe. I thought I had the key to my safe in here, but I don't.
Starting point is 00:13:44 All right, let's real quick. Boom diggedy gave $200 rants. Thank you so much. It's honoring my friend Ryan, a green beret who joined the army after he lost his best friend, Adam, who worked in the World Trade Center on 9-11, linked to today's article about an annual memorial race. And then followed that up with Ryan's wife, also wrote a book about Ryan for anyone who likes biographies about veterans, info in the article and we'll pull those up here in a second a better link let me pull that link up instead standby oh no no I got the link I you just had race was attached to it so here's the first article army's wife memoirs army's wife memoir wife's wife's memoir wife's memoir wife's the life of late husband quote once in a while right in the middle of the ordinary life love gives us a fairy tale
Starting point is 00:14:33 So begins a memoir written by young army wife from Beaver County. She began writing as her husband lay dying because she wanted her baby daughters to know about the incredible man who was their father. The memoir became a book and that's just the beginning of the story. Like a lot of little boys, Ryan Means wanted to grow up to be a soldier. After filling out a recruitment card, he found it. He'd found in a magazine. A couple of Marines came knocking on his mom's door looking to see if he had the right stuff. He was nine years old, right?
Starting point is 00:15:00 Nine years old. Ryan found his best friend in the first grade. Adam White died on September 11th, 2001, and Ryan made his entry into the journal, quote, first time writing since World Trade Center attacks. Adam was on the floor 105 and certainly killed. I've now officially given up and simply asked that my best friend watch over me as he always did. With Adam's initials tattooed on his ribcage and memory of his friend, Ryan Patman means enlisting the army and eventually became a green beret. He took Neil Young's rocking in the free world as his anthem. Quote, when 9-11 happened, it just sparked something that net just changed something inside of him. We never talked about it a lot,
Starting point is 00:15:37 Heather Meen said. While on leave from Special Forces training, he met Heather Holman from Beaver County in 2007, Ryan asked her to marry him. Did not take no for an answer. He kept at it and the rest is history, Heather Means said. Ryan signed most of his email home, signed most of his emails home with his initials RPM in the song title. It became the title for Heather's book, an amazing story about the short life they shared, told through their letters, emails, and Ryan's journal. The birth of a baby girl made the means of family. Ryan barely got to know Elizabeth when he was deployed to Iraq. Between short hops back home, Ryan was to serve three tours of duty and all.
Starting point is 00:16:15 By 2009, Heather was pregnant again when Ryan began suffering serious medical problems overseas. He was telling me that his skin, his eyes were starting to turn yellow. His skin was itchy all over. In May of 2009, a call came in the middle of the night from a hospital in Baghdad. He called me and his voice is cracking and I've never heard fear in his voice. It was a very rare form of liver cancer. Ryan was 35 years old. Two days later, Ryan was flown to Walter Reed and then to Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
Starting point is 00:16:42 He would live only one more month, but his second daughter, Sophie Ryan, came early. This baby really looked like him and he got to bond with her as quickly as possible. Heather kept asking him to write one last letter to his girls. He just looked at me and grabbed my hand and said, if you don't know how much I love you by now, you're never going to know. Moon, it was time to begin turning off the machines that were keeping Ryan alive and did it hit by hit and got to say goodbye and look at him one last time. Special Forces Staff Sergeant Ryan Means was buried in Arlington Cemetery.
Starting point is 00:17:12 The final line in her book reads, quote, in the end, if everything is not okay, it is not the end. Damn. Thank you, Boom, Diggety for sharing that. And boom, how do you, how do you know, if you can, you go back to that um yeah hold on uh she said that honoring my friend that's just it that just said her friend but ryan uh a green beret who joined the army after he lost his best friend adam who worked in the world trade center on 9-11 damn that's that's that's hard man you know i i know it's just like damn especially from liver cancer bro dude's a green beret operating in
Starting point is 00:18:01 afghanistan and iraq you know in oi f oef and liver cancer is what gets you, especially while you're in. You know, I don't know, man. I've got lots of questions about, have you ever watched, what's the movie about the Navy SEAL with Chris Pratt in it, terminal, is it Terminalist? Sounds familiar. I think it's called Terminalist. It's fan, friggin, fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. Give me a quick rundown of it because it does sound He's a Navy SEAL and his whole squad, he was a captain in the SEAL teams, and his whole squad gets killed on a mission and comes to find out that the government had been experimenting on his platoon and himself included and he's...
Starting point is 00:18:49 What's it called? Permanalist. And it goes into the CIA and all sorts of other things. There's two seasons of it. Both seasons are fantastic. Absolutely fantastic. And Ash, Ash had actually turned me on to that probably like a year ago. Tell me, we got to watch.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And me and Christy freaking loved it. No, I haven't seen this, man. Definitely worth a watch. But you got to do Linus first. But definitely, definitely worth a watch. So this is a movie or TV show? TV show. And Chris Pratt is excellent in it.
Starting point is 00:19:20 I like that dude as man, bro. Yeah. And I like that dude as an actor. So, I have mad respect for that dude. And he's got, he's got range, bro. that guy can play any role he can be the funny guy from parks and recreation or he can be you know the badass from terminalist or he can be the superhero comic relief guy from guardians of the galaxy like he's got incredible range Jurassic Park Jurassic Park another great one yeah he just movie too where
Starting point is 00:19:51 they go into the future and is his his young daughters uh she's like one of the majors or something like is that that that's the one where they travel into the future to fight the war and then they come back at night yeah back to reality that's a damn good movie dude that's a good movie too that movie kind of gives you some hints to some shit too bro yeah like i know that's crazy but his co-hosts and terminal this the second season is about him but the in the first season like their best friends and uh he is he plays a fantastic role as well i can't remember what his name is but he's he's the guy that plays um mike murphy in uh lone survivor so the one that's on the like the one that's like hey i need to get a horse how can i get a horse like he wakes up mark
Starting point is 00:20:38 walberg's like marcus the trail's character he's like i gotta get a horse he that's that's the guy and he plays that same type of character in terminal list and just a really good show man 10 out of 10 recommend so uh and you know the the the story that boom shared with us there like You know, one day we're all going to get to stand in front of our creator, right? Mm-hmm. And regardless of what that judgment goes by, that's going to be one of my questions, man. You know, it's just, you know, why, why did we, you know, why did you take kids, you know, and why did you take parents before kids and them had a chance to know each other?
Starting point is 00:21:19 You know? Like, I get it that there's a learning experience that comes from everything, but there's, it just, seems like there's just other ways that you know society in the world can still learn without that there's a young girl uh out here in this and in our in my area out here in the Coachella valley um gosh and now i feel like shit that we're trying to remember her name desi desi is what she went by and she she had the she had everybody's attention this actually went to school with her mom high school and stuff And she gets cancer as a young kid.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And so everybody, pretty much everybody in the valley knew of this, this, this young girl. And her story through it. And, you know, kids, kids are just resilient, you know. She's laughing in there. And it's like everybody knew the inevitable was coming. But when it did come, dude, it hit the entire valley, bro. Like multiple cities out here. Like it just, you, everybody felt it.
Starting point is 00:22:24 You know, and it's just like. if if we got to learn things through the loss or pain of a child then we're a pretty shitty society man and and and and gods you know if that's what it takes man I don't know that's going to be one of my questions you know I wonder I mean he gave us free will and I wonder how much of the loss that people suffer is self-inflicted like I I don't, I think a lot of the problems that we face is humanity are our own doing. You know, prior to the advances in technology that we have today, you know, sickness and stuff might have been preventable, but that's free will.
Starting point is 00:23:13 The stuff exists. But like cancers and stuff today, I think that's all of our own creation, you know, not just, and I'm not just talking about like sinister people creating sicknesses, but the stuff that's created that goes into our bodies and the choices that we make and stuff that goes into our bodies. You got to think at that age, though, like, you know, these kids that get like leukemia and stuff, you can't attribute that to, uh, necessarily to food and, and that kind of thing, although maybe, but, um, maybe it's like vaccines and all that stuff. I, I don't know, man, but that, that would be a very good question. Like, why? Yeah. So this, this was her, this was that young little
Starting point is 00:23:54 girl Desiree Chechen Chechen diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma pediatric cancer this beautiful young little girl man that's that's heartbreaking dude let me tell you and uh actually have this picture well here you have the story up we can i can share it after this uh yeah just real quick uh annual 5k honors memory of metro Atlanta green beret who enlisted after best friend's death on saturday hundreds of runners will gather for an annual 5k to remember a green beret who served in memory of his best friend uh so if you're in the atlanta area um does it say where i don't think it says now on its 15th year uh chastain park saturday um the 5k is taking place saturday at chastain
Starting point is 00:24:51 park outside the american legion post 140 on powers ferry road anyone interested can learn more here and the link is also in that rumble rant that boom diggedy sent if you want to check that out so good um so this one hit me hard you this is this is back when i was on the when i was doing the detective stuff and you know you have these you know kids it's kind of like similar to like make a wish but at a much more smaller like local level and there was this kid he was just like no i want i want to be on the swat team i want to be on a tactical team but he was dying of cancer um so they get them to come out and we get the tactical vehicle ready. We put all our tack gear on. We get the shield out. You know, our sergeant acts like the bad guy, you know, and this kid's in the armored vehicle with us, right? And so, and he's dressed up and he's got the, you know, the helmet and all that. I mean, we took as much as the stuff out that we could so it's not super heavy on him. But he's in there, right? And then we're talking in the, you know, in the armored vehicle like, you know, like, you know, just making it cool, right? Making a cool experience from the radio's going off. And then you hear the we, we're, we're, and you know, the
Starting point is 00:25:58 sergeants there and so we get out we're like yeah I'll get down the kids like he's our point guy we got on you know one of us I think I might have been holding the shield on that one and anyways the kid gets to do the takedown of our serge who's dressed like a bad guy then he goes up there and you know we're going to help him handcuff him and all this and dude you just saw him glowing and all this like it was an amazing experience so people are asking what do you mean why did that hurt you so much that does a dude look it I even I feel it right now just because knowing what I'm about to say He was the same age, not the same date, the same age as my son, my only son, the same age. But what made it even harder, he had the identical name as my boy, to include the last name.
Starting point is 00:26:49 So I'm sitting there with a Joshua Jacob Luna. Well, way to docks your son. It's not hard to find my son. He's an adult. He'll kick people's asses right now if they come after him. He's a smart kid. He's a fighter. I raised a fighter.
Starting point is 00:27:03 But I'm sitting there with this kid that's dying of cancer. That's the same age as my son and the same name. Bro, that was a very, very hard day. Very hard day, especially when you're looking at the parents. Yeah. And you can feel for the parents because they're there. You know, they're taking pictures. They're doing all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:23 All I wanted to do was get home, dude. Yep. I just wanted to get home. That's crazy, man. That's, I just that that's one thing that always, always, always breaks my heart when I have to watch like those like, um, uh, make a wish type videos, you know, and, uh, I, you know, I'm sure there's some controversy about make a wish foundation, but, uh, what, what they do for some of those kids is, is pretty badass, man. And, I think I might have the picture. Because he had to wear a little mask. Yeah. Um, if I have it, I'll share it. Damn, we're going down, bro. We're being downers today. I mean, it is, it is a solemn day.
Starting point is 00:28:08 I mean, it's the anniversary. We forgot to mention this on daily. Both Alfa and I, after the show, we're like, crap. The one-year angelversary of Charlie Kirk. So it also reminds us to appreciate life, man. Of course. Of course. And then tomorrow, of course, is 9-11, which is an incredibly significant.
Starting point is 00:28:29 significant day for both of us. Changed our lives. Changed our lives. Yeah. Changed our lives in ways that most people, you know, I think 9-11 changed everybody's life. There's no question. Every single person in the chat would be able to tell us off the top of their head where they were on 9-11, the moment that they were exactly where they were. I remember exactly where I was when the first building first plane hit i remember exactly where i was when the second plane hit and um you know i i said the only other the only other day that that has that impact on me is j13 when president trump got shot that was that was wild man i was watching i'm sure you were too i saw it live so i was watching it on rsbn yeah i was on the phone with uh i was on the phone with
Starting point is 00:29:20 jim hoff from gateway and uh him and joe both i was on the phone with both of them talking about something with elections and um jim cuts in he's like holy shit president trump just got shot and i was like i was sitting right here and i was like what and i jump on rsbn to to watch the coverage and i got it enough to where i was able to rewind it and you know just go back and see it and immediately i was like okay he's he's okay because i saw him grab his ear and i was like it grazed his ear i was like he's okay He's okay. But never forget that moment. They scored?

Starting point is 00:30:45 I don't, I don't think anybody forgot. I don't think anybody forgot. It's, you know, we're, the human, beans are we're strong like we endure some shit and and and we have to learn how to carry on
Starting point is 00:31:00 and sometimes carry on is interpreted as people forgot i don't think people forgot we just got strong we got strong and we learned how to dysfunction you know with what we're subjected to but i don't think anybody forgot here's the thing there's so many veterans that are still alive look at all of us We're still in our, you know, 30s and 40s and 50s, you know, that went to that war. And we're going to remember, like, when I was in boot camp and we've shared this story, but I mean, it's 9-10, it's 9-11, share it again. And you remember the room? I think this is where we were getting M.K. Ultrid broke.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Like, I don't know. We could talk about that another day. But do you remember where they would take us into those theater rooms and they would just play the history, like over, like all these different history videos? Oh, see, we didn't. You were talking about in boot camp? And boot camp. We didn't watch videos.
Starting point is 00:31:50 We had an actual book that we did. We went into a theater like that, like stadium seating, and they taught us. Like we had a book that we read through. We might have had a book. I don't remember, but I know for a fact, we watched hours upon hours of movies, these old, it reminded me of like when you see the old World War II and people are going to the movies to see, you know, and the bombs are dropping over London, you know, like that kind of stuff. Like, dude, like, we're just sitting there like.
Starting point is 00:32:18 because you're like you're tired and you ain't go don't fall asleep oh no they make it cold they make it dark it's your body's being told to go to sleep yep but your brain's like don't do it yeah don't like we have pinch marks and probably scars on our inner thighs on this shit that we did to try to stay awake but anyways um when we're in one of those rooms uh one of the di's comes in And he's like, hi, recruits. How many of you joined after 9-11? Bro, every fucking hand. Not half, not the majority, every fucking hand.
Starting point is 00:33:03 And the DI, and I can't compare it if he had to any other reaction you ever had any other one. But he was like that, bro. And he just, how often did you see a DIY where you didn't have shit to say? Yeah. You know what I mean? He just looked. he joined in peace time he didn't he didn't sign up for this we signed up for this for that you signed up knew exactly where the fuck you were going to go exactly especially if you signed up as an o three

Starting point is 00:35:28 armies at fred that's so fucking legit dude so uh my birthday my birthday was yesterday right and uh and uh And so 47. By the way, happy birthday. I meant to tell you this morning and I forgot. No worries, man. Told you in text. So there you go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:49 I'm not going to, I'm not counting it till it gets to 50 anyways. But, but 47, you know, and, you know, going through the day, obviously,
Starting point is 00:35:57 I'm, you know, not feeling so, so hot. And the reality hit me. So all you old fucks in the chat are going to know exactly what I'm talking about. I've never in my life. Never in my life,
Starting point is 00:36:08 right. No, no, listen, because I'm considered an old fuck. So I get to I get to call old fucks old fucks because I'm considered an old fuck now So I get that this I have that this it's like if you're a Jew you could talk shit about the Jews Right if you get a pass if you're if you're black you get to say yeah right like you get these things right so once you become an old fuck you get to make fun of old fucks
Starting point is 00:36:29 So I've never in my life can con until yesterday had this thought into my brain never my life never my life right not at four 40, not at 42, not at 43, but at 47. Yesterday I turned 47 and I said, oh, fuck. I got less years left than what it took to get here. I thought, bro, get out of my fucking head. I was thinking that like yesterday, maybe the day before. I'm laying in bed and I'm like, bro, I'm, I'm only 42, but I'm like, dude, double my age and I'm 84.
Starting point is 00:37:10 Yeah, so you still, you still, technically, statistically, you still got like another year, two, or three, right? No, at 47, double 47. What, what is that? Do the math for me, because, you know. 94. This, bro, ain't making it. Unless, unless Josh is right about the technology advancements, ain't make. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Guys who lived the lives that we did, we ain't making it to fucking 94. You know what I mean? like that shit ain't happening you know if if i break if i break 85 cops cops don't live long now what the saving grace for me is i only did a cop for 14 years so maybe that maybe that adds some time to to my window but and i'll get into that part but the point being bro is those i was like i got less year i'm past the halfway more yeah and so then you start thinking about a bunch of other shit you know you know am i making the best of my family life am i making the best of my relationship You know, you know, am I giving my parents the time that, you know, because, you know, they're older, you know, who knows what their window looks like? Like you just start to wonder and ask yourself, you know, am I utilizing the most valuable currency that exists to man in a good way? You know, am I spending my time? Is the time in my life being spent more happy or more upset? And if the answer to that isn't, you know, unequivocally happy,
Starting point is 00:38:37 then we all better change something you know like it's just the revelations of life that hit me like a fucking freight train yesterday bro and then i'm right there and i'm just like i can't breathe my throat hurts i'm just like i got i'm gonna double up my pet club like that's what i'm gonna do give me some more of that clarity and shit um but yeah man um you want to know it's even more depressing bro what's that think about think about it and this term so you're thinking i'm 47 you know i'm more i've got less years left than than it took me to get here think about this you you're talking like maybe like 2065 like like think about the year oh okay i was like i was i was i was not tracking what you're saying think about the year and like
Starting point is 00:39:29 shit it's so 46 and it's like man what what do i got 2060 2065 maybe if i'm lucky That's even more depressing, bro. But here's the, here's the other cool thing, because I'm seeing some people in the chat that are like, you know, 73, 70.
Starting point is 00:39:45 So here's, so one of the cool things of my job, right? And the cool thing is this is veteran related because I would ask this to a lot of older veterans that. Oh, kiddle's hurt. Is that kiddle?
Starting point is 00:39:55 No. No, don't you put that fucking magic on me. He was 88. He looks like a tight end. No, 88's not Kittle. Kittles 84.
Starting point is 00:40:03 Okay. Go ahead. Sorry. But it might be Kittle. but it might be Kittle. Kittles 84, but it might be Kittle. I heard, I heard his name right now. Maybe he is 88. I thought he was 84. I don't know. God. Someone in the chat needs to let me know because they ain't saying anything.
Starting point is 00:40:26 But anyways, to the point of the story I was trying to make is, you know, when I got to talk to these older people, you know, especially the older men, I would, dude, like, what better opportunity? Because out here, it's, you know, it's, it's the Kachala Valley is known as a retirement community. you know what I mean and the snowbirds that we get out here. So I would ask a lot of these older guys, you know, and some of them were even World War II guys. Because you remember, this was more than 10 years ago. And I would, you know, I just had these conversations. And the one thing I noticed to these guys that were like in their 70s, especially in the 80s. Like in the 80s, it was just, you know, like right now we're like, I know, I still want to live another 40 years.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Like that's my mentality, right? When I would talk to these older cats in their 80s, they're like, they're like, now fuck I'm done. Like, I'm ready. I lived a great life. Like, when my creator is ready to come grab me, like, let's go. I'm ready for the next adventure. It's like there's this like, like, like, I've had my experience. And if I go tomorrow, I'm cool with it.
Starting point is 00:41:24 Like me, I'm going to cry. Like, no, I don't want to go tomorrow. You know what I mean? Like, you know, I want to at least see my last two babies make it to 20. Right. So all I'm really, all I'm praying for is God just at a minimum, give me 20. give me 20 even if they're a rough 20 for me just give me 20 so that I'm around long enough to know that my babies made it you know to their early 20s and then I'm solid man I'm solid now I want more but you know because we all try to negotiate with God right like just give me 20 just give me a little bit more God please what what if Jared Kushner when he said our generation my generation is going to be the last to die or the first to live forever that was that's interesting It is. It's very interesting. You know, because is, is, is that a symbolic?
Starting point is 00:42:15 No, I think he's being serious. No, I think he's being serious too, but it could be, you know, it could be symbolic, but he, so Josh and I know him in General Koss had this conversation. I've seen a few others of this, you know, this 500 year leap in 20 years. Yeah. You know, and, you know, some of the conversations I've had with some of these people that are are tied into like the tech side of things. Like they told me some, they've told me some shit that I'm like, are they testing me? Like is that what this is?
Starting point is 00:42:46 Like they just want to see if I like let the cat out of the bag. Sorry folks. I'm not. But like it's it's so absurd to me, bro. Like it's so like the Jetsons don't even like that doesn't compare to the some of the shit that I'm being told. You know? And so that's why sometimes I'm wondering if I'm just being, you know, tested to see if I'll bite on it.
Starting point is 00:43:08 or not. But this is hypothetically say that what they're saying is legit. Bro, you're talking lifespans of two and three hundred years? Would you take it? That's the question. For me now, right now, I would say yes, you know? Because I just, I'm just, one, I'm curious. I'm curious to what the world will look like, what does humanity look like? But this is what I'll also say. You know when we watch those old like, 80s nostalgia videos. You know, like, you know what I'm talking about, right?
Starting point is 00:43:48 When they'll show like the videos of the 80s and the 90s, it doesn't your heart just ache because you're like, I miss that. Yep. So now fast forward, let's just say we live to 200. Bro, you know life ain't going to look nothing like it does right now. Nothing. Nothing. So it's one of those things were, you know, because the only thing that can really happen.
Starting point is 00:44:13 And again, we don't know technology. So we're making assumptions on things that we don't understand what technology will look like. But I imagine that everything's going to be easier. You know, so what happens when a world is absent of challenge? You know, and so that's why I say right now is say, hell yeah, but I don't know if I would maintain that mindset. Does that make sense? Yeah. So for me, it would depend on how you stay in physical condition.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Like if I could stay the age I am now in the condition that I'm in now, I'd be all for it. But if I, if it's, if I'm going to be, you know, 80, and I'm not saying like that's a bad thing, but I don't think I'd want to live another 100 years at the age of 80. Like in that, in that physical, you know, by the time I'm 80, I'm like, let me ask you. If you could, if you could live to 200, 100, 100, 200, though 100's too close. Let's say 200. If you could live to 200, but you maintain. a certain age. I'd do it. What age would you pick? That's my question. Oh, I mean, I'd want to
Starting point is 00:45:18 go back in time, but I think that's what I'm saying. What age though? What age would you want to be? And I'm not talking about like what life was like for you. I'm talking about the way, just the way you felt. What would be the age that you pick? It'd be sometime when I was in the Marine Corps. I mean, that's when my body was in its best physical shape. Yeah? And then 25, 26, 27, somewhere around there bro 36 i know the 36 huh 36 dude i was a fucking beast bro like you know i was this i was i was a huge ass detective i was in boxing shape i was dude i'm chasing high school students and snatching the souls out their body bro the the look on a young kid's face bro when you just you got him like this and he turns around and he sees a man
Starting point is 00:46:05 with a fucking beard and he's just what the fuck how'd you How'd you get me, right? I'm a fucking grizzly. That's why. Like, dude, 36. 36 would be huge. 37 for me, right when COVID hit, 36, 37 for me, I was in peak physical shape. Now, I still think I could have like run better and outperformed at 26, 27.
Starting point is 00:46:27 But I mean, I was in the gym every single day lifting weights. I was, I was jacked. You know, I was, that's when I was putting up like 285, 300. you know i was i was fucking huge for me for my for my build you know i was six foot i was six foot three and weighed like two 10 solid muscle you know my normal weight was like 180 185 solid muscle and then covid hit and my gym closed and i haven't been back since and that's why i'm a scrawny little shit now but yeah i could i could see that like 36 37 that would be a you know peak peak performance but i i still think the 25 26 because at 24
Starting point is 00:47:05 25, 26, I could still get to that peak performance level, but my body, my body's still regenerated faster. I could still, at 25, 26, I could still stay up for 24 hours. Now it's like one o'clock in the morning and I'm looking at my wife like, babe, we got to go to bed. We got it's, we ain't got nothing to do tomorrow. I'm like, I know, but I'm going to fall. Some people in the chat aren't thinking this through. Huck Fillery says 17. Huck. No, no. If you're married, you probably want to, at a minimum, you want to say 18, Huck. Like some of you are in thinking this question through. So I just want, I'm curious, is there anybody in the chat that would stay the age you are now if you got to live another 100 to 200 years?
Starting point is 00:47:50 And then if you don't mind sharing, what would that age be? All right. And what's up? Good. And I'm really curious to see if there's any old timers. I'd be like, nah, I want to stay 80. So we had a couple more rants come in. Jody Virene, gifted five subs.
Starting point is 00:48:07 Rtsy Joan got one. There you go. John Tremblay. I wonder if that is John Tremblay, the F-35 instructor. Interesting. Huck-Filleri. I met him at an event a while ago. I don't know if it's the same guy. Huck-Filleri, a solemn Huck Buck tonight. Cancon, did you see my movie recommendation from last week's date night? You'll be blown away by the reveal in the middle and the twist at end movie is running gun i did see it we have not watched it uh if we get some time this weekend maybe i'll watch that run and gun thank you huck appreciate that uh our broadway another another hundred dollar ran wow thank you so much i just wanted to say thank you for serving this country
Starting point is 00:48:47 i despise why you had to go to war but i'm glad there are men like you in this world alpha you have a lot of time left i hope so here's here's what i'll say all right clip this should something ever bad like a labamba plane crash should happen oh is, man, as everybody knows like some of the horrific stories that I've been through, but here's the one thing that I'll say, I've got to live like the lives of like a thousand men is what I feel like. Like if my maker was to take me today, like I have, you know, no regrets, right? No regrets, no regrets, right? Like, raggrets. Is it raggrats or I thought it's ragg, rag, rag, r g, r ETS. Yeah, it's still one of the funny.
Starting point is 00:49:33 tattoos ever man but like if the if the if the if the good Lord was to take me right now like like I have I have lived a life a lot of people can only dream of man like I am I am beyond lucky you know a father of six girls one boy you know what I mean um like you know most people be like that's a lot of kids that's a lot of stories you know what I mean um it's I haven't missed out on anything, you know, the missus is hot, you know, so I'm an old time with a haughty. She also doesn't exist. She's my, she's my fed attached asset to sell my handlers to sell my story.
Starting point is 00:50:21 So my story is believable. But no, I mean, think about it, dude, I've got to go to war, right? On the other side of the world, you know what that's crazy. You know, crazy. Like my boots. I touched the sand of Babylon. My hands have been in the water of the tigers and the Euphrates. You know, I've touched the wall that the Bible says, the hand of God inscribe something on.
Starting point is 00:50:45 Like, like, you know, I've been to the base of the Tower of Babel. You know, I've been into the den where they said, you know, where they said, you know, Daniel was thrown into the lion's den. Like, I got, that's crazy. The first Americans in the history of civilization to walk through the Ishtar Gates. like and then and that's just the first part of my life in my in my early late teens early 20s bro that's pretty bad then you get into a world where dude gun fights right people are like why do you smile about that Brian will get it so the bets in the chat will get it like
Starting point is 00:51:16 gun fights and that's on the streets of america you know car chases over a hundred miles an hour you know shark attacks survivor of a shark attack like bro like I'm just expecting a from somebody at Gart. Like I'm expecting a shark survivor shirt at Gart. If I don't get that, I'm going to be disappointed in the audience. I'm just saying. Um, but he always says like, because he knows I bought him one last time. It just didn't get here in time. He knows I bought him one from last guard, but it didn't get here in time. I'm just, I'm just saying, man, like, I've lived a kick ass life, bro. Kick ass life. Dude, chip that shit ash and everything and I couldn't get it here on time. Dude, my, my cousins that are on the other side of
Starting point is 00:52:00 of the law you know the bad ones i get you know when they talk about their street cred i could say but did the fbi swat team take them down did you have drones come after you like bro crazy right we'll see what the next 20 have let's um i told you i would keep it short tonight because you're under the weather and we got the your game is on so a couple funny videos here um talk about you know bending over and kissing your ass goodbye. I was a mortarman, not artillery, but this is the same concept, and you never want to see this. No. What? That's called a short round. It sounds like it hit something, though. No, that round only went about 30 feet.
Starting point is 00:53:15 So is that, is that, do you hear that sound? That's the, that's the, that's the actual round being shot and just in playing in because it sounds like the rounds already been shot damn you never want to see that like it's bad enough with mortars but mortars have like i was 81's and so our 81 i think had like a 30 meter uh blast radius um artillery Brandon in the Wood says he was artillery. So I wonder, can he provide us any insight to what we actually saw right there? That was a blowby. We call them short rounds in the Marines.
Starting point is 00:54:01 We call them short rounds. I was also in the Marine Corps when they were doing. What the hell is a blow by? I don't remember that. I don't know what a blow by is. I've never heard that term. So in our, in mortars, we're not allowed to fire over like traffic or anything. like that on base like when we're out at our training ranges like it's just we are our mortars will go out
Starting point is 00:54:24 you know seven miles we can shoot but there's there's a failed right in case there's a short round or something or even a you know you mess up the the the shot or you know whatever the the fire mission the data artillery was allowed to shoot that far and uh they had an a situation on the base where they had a short round and it landed and killed i believe it was a general's wife the short round hit the hit the road and killed a general I believe it was a general's life marine in the wood will know this story I'm sure because it lives it could be an urban legend who knows and are we sure was an accident well that's that's a great that's a great question marine the woods wasn't seated so the powder went around and around the shoved half the round
Starting point is 00:55:12 halfway down the tube went around the shoved around halfway down the tube uh you're you're an officer and your language your grammar skills are yeah you're you're talking grunt right here too i'm like lee walden right now love you lee i shouldn't love because i'm just as bad love you lee leh brother well we always does the talk to text and we always give him shit for that it's become like a thing on our show dude lee lee's my spirit animal bro I love you. I love them. But so anyways, so we were out one time in the field and we were at a mortar. We were at a mortar pause and we were all in our tents, like we all had our tents pitched in our bivouac and we're all like eating chow. Like we were we were done for the night. You got you rub the officer bro. He says, I was trying to talk grunt bitch comma bitch.
Starting point is 00:56:13 You weren't trying to talk grunt bitch because if you're trying to talk grunt bitch, then you'd be, like the woman we played the other week going through the gates it's like i'm here for the gang but we had we had an artillery short round go off in our border pause and thank god it went off on the other side of a hill there was a hill that was blocking like we were in death blade behind a hill small hill very small hill like we could have climbed it in like two minutes but we still had pieces of shrapnel and shit like landing on our tents from that round pieces of rock shrapnel everything if that tent weren't there, it would have taken, we would have had casualties, not deaths, but we would have had casualties.
Starting point is 00:56:52 A lot of injuries from the trap. Oh yeah. Huck Hillary says explosion went around the round and provided no propulsion. Right. So it was an unseated round? So then what happens? Does the round activate thing? Because it doesn't have to.
Starting point is 00:57:05 So I don't, I don't know if 40, if, if, if it's like 40 mic, Mike where it has to go, like spin certain amount of times. So many rotation. Same thing. They have to spin a certain amount of times before they actually. I don't know that's a good question but then motherfuckers look like look scared man like they were like oh shit get out of here and take it in the deck Yeah, so well I'm provost Joe Dijun Joe Dejneva I know I still checked his last name up
Starting point is 00:57:31 Digenova did you know did you know yeah abruptly resigned I read but didn't you take another he he's doing something else isn't he I reached out to a couple people I haven't heard back from anybody yet so yeah He he um Oh whose volume we're reading some of them um just no i saw an article from gateway it says genova reportedly takes parting shot at administration officials on his way out if you want evidence indictments if you want indictments where there's no evidence you have an ethical problem oh no that's not good sounds like it sounds like a cover up that's what yeah that's not good because there's talk in tons of evidence there is a ton of evidence there is a ton of
Starting point is 00:58:24 ton of evidence so that's interesting um here's another one what's up i said fawken a yeah we'll talk about this on daily tomorrow uh here's another one with mortars this is a longer one there you go far so those are that's a 60 millimeter there you go Park. Down the way. Park.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Far. Somebody didn't have the base place held pretty good. This one's just like, what the fuck? Nope. Yeah. Did I tell you the story, my high school story where I got kicked in the chest? No. All right.
Starting point is 00:59:43 Shout out to my boy. You guys, go look this guy of Jonathan Ingram. He went on to become the nose tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs. So I got that working for me. He's an underclassman. I was, I was a senior. He's a junior.
Starting point is 00:59:54 Great kid, man. Well, he's a man now. He's the same age. Yes, that's one saying we're the same age. But he's, he was,
Starting point is 01:00:02 you know, defensive lineman, right? And I was, I was one of the skill players, right? So obvious difference in size. You know how I know your team's gay?
Starting point is 01:00:11 The Jonas brothers are playing right now. It's Australia, bro. How are you going to put that on us? Okay, go ahead. Keep going to. That's the,
Starting point is 01:00:17 so you're not going to put it on the Rams? No. You're going to put that on us? They're ramming it in the 49ers. We're winning, bro. We're winning 107. Just putting that out there. Shout out.
Starting point is 01:00:27 How to get it in. But the, so we're in the, we had our, the varsity team had its own locker room. And so I'm standing up on the, on the, on the bench, right? We had these tall benches in there. Dude, we were a spoiled freaking football team. We literally had a locker room like a pro team, like your own lockers. Like it was this back in 96, 97. But I'm standing up on the, on the bench.
Starting point is 01:00:49 So, you know, what's the bench? what foot and a half two feet off the ground right i'm standing on that and i'm just i used to talk shit i know that surprises you guys i know it's hard to imagine but i was talking a lot of shit and and he's just like bro that that's enough and i'm just like bad that bad bad bad bad that some racial shit too and he's he's black and uh he's like bro i don't kick you in the chest i'm like bro you fat ass can't get off the ground high enough to kick me in the chest he's like bro kick you in the fucking chest i said kick me in the chest john kick me in the chest remember this is a defensive lineman folks this is a big motherfucker right you know i'm up there on the bench right so i had two
Starting point is 01:01:36 feet i'm right there he turns he does a spin next thing i know i'm sitting in my locker bro i'm pretty much hung up on my fucking hooks dude i'm in pain I'm in pain. I can't breathe, right? I'm like, you know, bro. Crack sternum. I'm just telling. But he's such a good guy, bro, that he immediately runs up. He's like, bro, you okay? I told you. I told you. I'm just like, like, I can't breathe and shit, dude. I'll tell you what. I never judged a big boy by how far they could get off the ground again. But he went on. Let me see if I can find. Let me see if I can find his picture.
Starting point is 01:02:12 So y'all can know who kicked me in the chest. That's the last person, for the record. that's the last motherfucker kicked me in the chest and didn't lose something. All right. Here's a compilation video of vehicle born IEDs and IEDs for those of you, whoever wonder, the number one thing, and I can't say this for Alpha, but for me for sure, the number one thing that I was afraid of when I was in Afghanistan was stepping on a fucking IED.
Starting point is 01:02:39 I did not give a shit about getting shot. Like if you shoot me, chances are I'm going to survive, unless it's in like the head or you know whatever i had good corpsman i trusted my corpsman i trusted my team i knew the guys could patch me up if i got shot anywhere you know whatever but stepping on iED is a different fucking thing man check this out damn man now what people don't realize when you watch that video and i'll play it one more time it's it's short enough What people don't realize about IEDs is those things go off when you step on them. So you are directly above this blast or drive over them.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Those last couple look more along the lines of the ones that we dealt with when we're out there. We didn't deal with the ones that you guys dealt with. Those were at the very tail in when I was out there. Because you got to remember, we weren't doing like it was at the very, very like when we can't When we came home is when you, it was very, it was like, it had to be like less, less than one out of 20. That was like a remote detonation. But we had the intel coming in over the schools because it was actually Syrian fighters that were teaching these guys. Again, probably CIA, but, you know, as they sold it to us then, it was the Syrian fighters that were training the, the Iraqis, the guerrillas, like how to do these remote ones.
Starting point is 01:05:07 But when I was there, pretty much all of them, they had to be connected by some type of wire source. Right. So we got to engage all these guys, you know, when they, when they did it to us. But here's, here's my boy. You want to bring him up on the screen? Yeah, there he is. That's Jonathan Ingram. It looked like a little, a little lazy eye. If my memory, if my memory recalls, I might have slapped the shed out on him afterwards. They're kicking me in the chest. I'm just playing John. Don't come and look for me. Taking shots at the guy. I just, I learned my lesson, John. I learned my lesson, bro. So here's the cool story.
Starting point is 01:05:42 I met him again. He actually can, I'm not going to, I'm not going to docks him. But I met him in the course of law enforcement, not in a bad circumstance. Like he was, he was on the side of the good guys doing something. I won't say more than that. But it was cool. His dad was, you know, another big black dude drove the motorcycle. So we'd be at practice and he always knew when Mr. Ingram was coming because he was,
Starting point is 01:06:05 I mean, it was just like, dude. Stereotype to the max, bro. All right, we'll, we'll play this. This will be our last one here. I had a conversation I want to start, but we'll save it for next week. Or actually, next week will be in Gart. So maybe the following week. I'll keep it tabbed.
Starting point is 01:06:25 But we talked yesterday about Marines in, you know, drill. And we compared it with the Navy. We played, I think it was Navy vet on X, his daughter's graduation. bro nobody can do it like the fucking marines man all of us could do exactly what you're seeing here every one of us we were this was drilled unintended drilled into our head maybe not that fuck but let's out here we go i sassi wake up i sassi we get us one to the rare mine again one to the rare mark not one to the rare mark but one to the rare mark but one to the rare mark One, one, to the rear mind.
