   Heavy is the head that wears the frown: Oct 7 three years later

   Danny opens up with a somber reminder of the ongoing war, marking three years of turmoil. He candidly shares how these events weigh heavily on him, acknowledging the personal toll they take. "I don't think that much will have changed in terms of the war," he states, reflecting on the persistent cycle of violence and its effects on lives. A poignant moment in the episode comes from a documentary about Soroka Hospital in Beer Sheva, showcasing the dedication of Arab doctors and nurses treating victims of the attacks. Danny describes a scene where one doctor, amidst the chaos, is torn between saving lives and worrying about his own family. "The contrast of this man working day and night without having contact with his own family to save the lives of others is striking," he notes. Throughout the episode, Danny reflects on the memories of violence, loss, and the resilience of those who choose to stand for life and love over hatred. "If you defend any of those who did those things on October seventh, you can fuck off with that. We choose life, love, and victory," he asserts, calling listeners to reflect on their values and beliefs. Danny challenges his listeners to look beyond sound bites and to engage with the deeper narratives that shape our understanding of conflict. He urges us to recognize the shared sorrow and resilience found in society, where individuals from different backgrounds come together to support each other.

   Public Opinion and Resilience in Ukraine and Beyond + Special Ops Training | Stephen Comstock

   "Special Forces don't win wars...the grunts do". Thus claims Stephen Comstock, our Ranger buddy and host of Green Hell: A Vietnam War Podcast (https://open.spotify.com/show/5H7Rr2fuNH7HZC1LCQKse0). We start with the tension between being a cautious parent and passing anxiety on to your children, and from there, we explore how personal worry connects to military vigilance, cultural memory, and the way societies respond to conflict. The conversation ranges from the Battle of Dien Bien Phu and its brutal aftermath to Russia’s war in Ukraine, public support for distant conflicts, and the challenge democracies face in preparing for war. Stephen explains how drones are reshaping modern warfare, then breaks down the roles of Rangers, Green Berets, special operations forces, and conventional infantry. They also discuss intelligence services, Israeli security, and why the troops bearing the greatest risks are not always the ones who get the most attention.

   Potty Training, Olkhon Shamanism and Britain Turning into 1930s Germany

   “Is this something you accept? Because if this was happening to black children in Britain, there would be a goddamn outcry every day.” You try to be Sylvia when Danny says stuff like that.

Inside a recent episode

Living with a Narcissist and Fighting Legal Abuse | Lisa Johnson

Published 5 Oct 2025 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think it was 2020. I found it. And then I was like, how come nobody's mentioned this? Like, this is my life. And so in 2021, Chris and I started our weekly legal abuse support group. And I was like, let me just see if we can get two people to join it. And in that first week, we got 12 people from all over the world. And we've been going strong ever since then. And so we still meet every single week on Sundays. And I say we do the very unusual thing of blending our male and female clients together because we know that abuse is a human issue, not a gender issue. And so everyone in there is dealing with a person who is either using the legal system or threatening to use it. […]
