    Ep. 118: MOVING TO RHODE ISLAND

Grant is broadcasting live from a new location — Newport, Rhode Island — after moving cross-country with a pregnant wife, a two-year-old, and two cats. Somehow they all made it (barely — ask him about the sprint through O'Hare). This week: the Trash Battalion staff brief returns in full PCS-season glory, the guys break down the surprisingly baffling experience of checking into military schools, Grant gives his first impressions of Newport (good food, expensive food), and there's a 4th of July recap on how the America 250 plates performed — half are already gone before Veterans Day. Plus a World Cup wrap-up (Spain over France), the eternal debate over whether soccer counts when it's not about America, and a new battalion member joins the ranks: Major Delay, your local traffic guy.

    Ep. 117: Buc-ees, Bikes & Business Ideas

    With Grant flying across the country mid-move, Tres and Jeff run their first-ever combo episode solo (with Jordy dropping in). What follows: a runaway bit about consolidating every sponsor into one all-in-one taxes/helmets/lifting shop, a genuinely useful garage gym conversation about the Echo Bike and shoulder-saving specialty bars, the ongoing evolution of "Chow Radar" into a Michelin-killing five-star institution, a sharp World Cup post-mortem after the US got bounced, and a wild real-life story about the actual broken washing machine from Breaking Bad.

    Ep. 116: FLY FISHIN', CRU LIFTIN' & SOLO DADDING

    Grant's back from fly fishing in the desert wilderness, bruised up from circus dumbbells at the Strength Co. crew meet-up, and fresh off a sweaty PFT. Tres is closing in on an echo bike deal (Facebook Marketplace, obviously). Jeff is back from leave and energized (according to his wife, who finally started listening). We do the fastest staff brief in show history — nine minutes flat — and nobody got hurt. Also: Tres goes solo dad for 48 hours, takes three girls to Cracker Barrel, changes a diaper on the bathroom floor, and comes out the other side with a new appreciation for stay-at-home moms. Plus Alan Jackson's final concert, Waylon Jennings on vinyl, the America 250 plate drops July 4th, and Tres is buying a helmet for the Gamecocks. College football season is coming.

    Ep. 115: COME IN WHEN YA' WANT TO
