You're listening to software, radio, special operations, military meals and straight talk with the guys in the community.

Hey, what's going on? Welcome to another special edition because they're always so special of software radio.

I have a very cool author today, a red cell employee. If I can say with a DOD, it's Brad Thorne, ladies and gentlemen.

And I just want to say his book right now coming out is called Rising Tiger. So don't forget that it's the beginning of this show.

Now Brad, welcome aboard. It's great to be here, Brad. You know, it's funny. We were talking before we came on air about your dad having been a green beret.

And my children's godfather is a fifth special forces group guy. And he always he's a really, really funny guy because I asked him why he never tried to go to the unit.

And he's like six, two, and he said his nickname was Jethro when he'd be bumping his head. Like he'd be trying to make an entry in an air in an airplane. And so you're rad. He always calls me be rad.

That's his joke every time, you know, I get to see these guys working for the State Department now. Be rad. So rad and be rad on the broadcast today.

That's what's up. I think the earth just shifted a little bit in our favor because we just aligned ourselves. Okay. So there's a big thank you.

I want to say thanks to Brandon Webb, of course, with software up for saying, hey, rad go after be rad and get him on the show. So we got you for it.

And it's a really exciting time for you. Now you have a slew of books. All right. You've got a resume. You know, you've got the last patriot. You've got the rising tiger series with harvest.

That's how I pronounce it in my head, right? Because I read a book and I read it how I interpret it. When I read a book out loud, it's a little different, right? When we do audio books or we read the words,

you're like, did I say that right? But in your head, your imagination goes crazy. And so, you know, harvest. Is that how you say his last name?

I say Harvath. The name actually belongs to a friend of ours who processes FISA warrants for the DOJ was really big in the war on terror going after al-Qaeda and a lot of the bad guys out there.

And I like that name. I was looking for a name I hadn't seen in fiction. And I was really proud of what this friend of ours was doing at DOJ.

Had been US Army the whole Jag thing and then went over to DOD or no, actually went from DOD to DOJ. So I just thought Harvath was a cool name. So yeah, you've nailed it, right?

It's funny. A lot of people know people named Horvath. So I get a lot of people interview me and say, oh, you're character Horvath. I'm like, no, no, it's Scott Harvath.

Yeah. Yeah, right. Good job. Scott with one T, S-O-S-C-O-T. Scott with one T. So Harvath.

Seemed as my brother. Yeah, my mom did not want to see S-C-O-T-T-H-O-R. So I named my guy, my main character, the first name after my brother. And then people said, well, why does he have only one T?

And so a couple of books into the series I gave him the middle name Thomas and said his mom didn't want to see S-C-O-T-T-H-O-M-A-S.

Yeah.

Yeah. So the triple T's there because of the name, the T-T-T. Yeah, that would-
