0:00.0	What's up y'all? Welcome back to this juicy episode of The One's Ready Podcast. This
0:10.7	week I sat down with Scott Zastro. I'm not going to take away from Scott. We went for
0:14.9	a long time. We had some technical difficulties at the end of it, but we're going to bring
0:18.2	Scott on to kind of clean up some of the stuff that we were talking about at the end. And
0:21.4	you'll see what I mean once you get there. Scott was one of the first ten people that
0:25.2	was inserted into Afghanistan in the early part of G-Wat. I'm talking in September, early
0:30.6	October of 2001. Scott was part of the team of twelve soldiers and one Airman, CCTV,
0:37.4	Will Markham that we have actually had on the podcast before. So go check that episode out.
0:41.8	Scott and his team did what no other team has ever done and probably will never do again in
0:46.7	the history of warfare. Their actions inspired the movie 12 strong. If you've seen that movie,
0:51.4	this is the story that it came from. And Scott actually wrote a book on it called Diguel,

1:00.2	The Diguel. Listed on our website over at onesready.com. I'll make sure to link it here in the YouTube

1:11.0	the story about exactly what happened in that first six months of the Afghanistan war and what
1:15.7	we became known what became known as G-Wat. You're like I want like next like there's a scratch
1:22.5	golf run then there's you at number one. Yeah, my lowest ever was 0.0. I'm trying to get to plus
1:27.5	this year. I don't even know how I would do that. Like how is it that you get that good at golf?
1:34.8	I mean practice I guess, but yeah. So when when I was on the great story, my father
1:40.8	died when I was really young. I was 25 or 26. And so I went home and like at the funeral and stuff
1:47.8	like to get all the shit or whatever he was married, he had five different lives. So he was just like,
1:52.1	hey come get the shit out of my house. And he had a set of golf clubs there. So one of my best
