Welcome back to Dedicated.

I am thrilled today to have the return of Jack Carr.

You know him as the former Navy SEAL sniper, number one bestselling author of the James Reese novels that have inspired the hit Amazon show starring Chris Pratt.

He's also a frequent guest on

new shows these days talking about the chaotic events around the world. He's also out with a new

series. This is called the fourth option that has a new character. It's separate from the James

Rees series, more of a stranger comes to town kind of a vibe, which I'm thrilled about as

terrific book. Thank you. And it's great to have you for the second visit because now, you know, if we already talked to the bio and all these things, now we get to sort of sip some whiskey and talk about all the best stuff. Well, I noticed it's not my whiskey. That was the first thing that I noticed, but that's probably by design because mine's 125 proof and can really put you down. There's a story about that.

And you and Chris Pratt that we may get to, we'll say. Yeah, but I don't know if I can show that publicly, but maybe I can. I think Chris has hinted at it once or twice, but I, uh, it was, yeah, it can be dangerous. My, that bottle should come with a warning. Yeah, this, this one's only like 95 proof or something. I finished off the danger.

Is it danger close?

That's the podcast,

but it's warrior proof.

Warrior proof.

Yeah. Yeah, this one's only like 95 proof or something. I finished off the danger.

Is it danger close? That's the podcast, but it's warrior proof. Warrior proof. Yeah, warrior proof whiskey. So it had to be good sipping whiskey because everything that I do, I can't just, you know, throw the cross tomahawks on something, put my name on something. So any merch, whatever, I just put a lot of thought into anything that I do, whether it's a post or whatever else.

Perfect segue into the Cross Tomahawks.

Speaking of.

Jack card tumblers here. Cheers. Available now. In time for Memorial Day, Fourth of July, whatever it might be, birthdays. I drink these glasses all the time. In fact, I've had these on the show with many guests. Oh, that's awesome. I love it. I love it. Thank you. great to see you. Great to have you back. So I looked at it at the last time you were here.

It was June... Oh, that's awesome. I love it. I love it. Thank you. Great to see you. Great to have you back.
