That's your attention now, don't I?

This is the Black Rifle Coffee Podcast.

Welcome to the Black Rifle Coffee podcast.

It's been a while since Marty Scoveland and I have set down to lay a little audio down,

and we are joined by Mr. Jericho Denman.

It's been a little bit of a busy past few weeks here.

Both these gentlemen went to Ukraine not too long ago,

and then Jericho immediately rolled into Free free fall school with the rest of so.

It hasn't been a boring few weeks for you, and Marty's had a batch of interesting stuff going on with coffee or diet too.

So we're going to talk about what was like to be on the ground in Ukraine and kind of let these guys review and recap the trip a little bit.

Yeah.

I mean, one of the places I'd kind of love to start there is just giving credit to the fact that we, you saw the media mess that was over there, right? Jericho, as soon as you get to Leviv, there's a reporter on every corner, a lot of it's super cringy, that sort of stuff. Air quotes reporter. Yeah. I just want to call attention to the fact that we've been covering this for what, two plus years now. Thanks in large part to Nolan Peterson. But for a lot of that time leading up to this, before it became like cool to cover Ukraine, cool to go to Ukraine, we've been the subject matter experts on this. You know, like our publication, like I am super proud of the fact that going into this,

every other news outlet in the world was reaching out, being like, hey, what do we do here?

What about this?

Can we talk to Nolan?

Like, we were the ones leading the coverage going into this.

Yeah.

When I rolled into Leviv, where, when I, when I rolled into

LeVive where, you know, again, air quotes journalism was happening with a lot of like

the bigger networks and would meet these people and like normally you feel like, you know,

somebody's little brother, I work for, you know, this smaller thing and you're like at ABC or NBC.

And they're like, oh, wow. Yeah, Nolan.
