0:00.0	This is Undaunted Life a Man's podcast. I'm your host Kyle Thompson. Let's get into it.
0:23.2	All right guys today we've got another special guest for you on the podcast. It's actually
0:26.1	two guests. So you're getting Eddie and Andrea Gallagher. So if the name Eddie Gallagher sounds
0:30.4	familiar, it's probably because you heard his name in the news over the last couple of years.
0:33.6	But Eddie is a retired Navy CEO, but his retirement wasn't quite the one that he had in his mind
0:38.8	and not by any stretch of the imagination when him and his wife and his family thought they were

0:47.5	and drug through the mud and also accused of murder. He actually went on trial for his life

1:40.0	to it on time, it comes out today. You should definitely go out and get it because we can't get
1:43.5	into a lot of the detail that that this book gives you because this book details not only the things
1:48.6	that went on during the trial prior to during and after, but also his time at deployment. It also
