| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to Mind other warrior everybody. Doc is back after about a month of |
| 0:19.5 | being gone. Apologize for going silent, kind of went semi-silent on social media for a while, |
| 0:27.0 | and obviously no podcast in about a month. |
| 0:30.0 | Early part of March, right? |
| 0:32.0 | I know I guess actually actually I guess it was late |
| 0:34.4 | late February. I wake up on a Sunday morning to a text from my good friend |
| 0:41.0 | Tim Kennedy. Tim sent the text like six in the morning. |
| 0:44.6 | Tim only sends early morning text for a couple of reasons. |
| 0:47.3 | So usually that means there's some type of short notice cool thing going on, we're going to fly in a helicopter and |
| 0:55.8 | do something or some type of shooting thing or some big name is coming to grapple we're going to do that or he's got some crazy workout that he wants to go do so I looked I saw it was from Tim and I think the text was already like an hour old. |

| 2:09.0 | former Recon Marine, and Tim and Nick Palmas Machano and some other people started up this |
| 2:15.7 | nonprofit called Save Our Allies and it was born out of the movement to get all of the Terps and all of our exactly what the name implies |
| 2:27.6 | allies out of Afghanistan during the fall of Afghanistan the incredible debacle that of course I've covered on this show before. |
| 2:37.0 | They kept the core of that company around, you know, recognizing that the world is a dangerous place and |
| 2:44.6 | that sometimes nonprofit organizations made up of like-minded individuals with unique |
