Ep; 45 Twin Falls Hero: When prepared citizens save lives
When evil showed up at a crowded In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, two ordinary people made extraordinary decisions.
In this episode of the Bearded Monkey Podcast, Cody Lanier, Police Lieutenant, firearms instructor, and owner of Bearded Monkey Tactical, sits down with his wife, Lasamoa and a special guest, to break down the tragic active shooter attack that shocked Idaho and the courageous response that likely prevented even greater loss of life.
You'll learn:
A timeline of the Twin Falls active shooter incident
What investigators know about the suspect
The background of the legally armed citizen who engaged the attacker
The actions of the off-duty Idaho State Trooper who also confronted the threat
Tactical lessons every responsibly armed citizen should understand
Why mindset, training, accuracy, and medical preparedness matter far more than gear alone
This episode isn't about sensationalizing violence. It's about learning from real-world events so that ordinary people are better prepared to protect themselves and those they love.
If you carry a firearm for self-defense, or are considering obtaining your concealed handgun permit, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Ep. 43, The Dog YOU feed wins; Mastering the internal battle
Inside every one of us is a daily battle. One side is driven by discipline, courage, gratitude, and purpose. The other is fueled by fear, anger, doubt, and excuses. The question isn't whether the battle exists—it's which dog you're feeding.
In this episode (Ep. 43) of the Bearded Monkey Podcast, we explore the timeless story often attributed to Sitting Bull and unpack what it means for our lives today. Whether you're a first responder, a concealed carrier, a leader, or simply someone striving to become better, your daily choices determine who you become.
The dog you feed is the dog that wins. Every decision matters. Every habit counts. Which one are you feeding today?
