Hi, I'm Ethan Sopli, welcome to American Blood. Outside of acting, my two favorite things

to do are diet and eat. I have a very complicated relationship with food and on this podcast,

we're going to talk about all of it. Food as entertainment, food as sport, food as fuel.

I'll talk to experts and the average person, just like you and me.

In an attempt to create more of a community, we're branching out and taking our Q&A episodes

and the American Blood and Social Club to Patreon.

You'll still find us here every week, but for an ad-free bonus episode, we're inviting

you to join us on Patreon to have more interaction, less of me talking at you, and more of me talking

with you. The bonus content will start rolling out February 10th, but you don't have to wait.

You can join today for extra episodes, discounts, and so much more, I can't believe my wife

has convinced me to do this. So go find me at American Blood and on Patreon.

This is an episode we recorded almost two years ago, but it is a concept that comes up

for me weekly if not daily. Kill your clone. For those of you who have already listened,

consider it a refresher, and for anyone who is not, I envy the treat that is in store

for you. I give you Kill Your Clone with Tom Kair.

I'm really excited about today's episode. I had the pleasure of playing a character

based on our guest tonight. That character was the character D in the television show

Chance that was on Hulu for a couple of years. D was loosely modeled after Tom Kair.

The writer of the book, Chem Nun, had met Tom and was utterly captivated by him and basically

used him as a major influence on this book because Tom is so interesting.

US Socom considers him to be a subject matter expert in edged weapons. He holds the title

Tuhan in the Syah Kali martial arts system, a system that was developed by Pomana Tuhan
