    We’ve Become Too Comfortable Being Victims - Petty Crocker | Let 'R Rip

    Everybody has an opinion online. Far fewer people are willing to slow down, question what they’re being told, and stand behind what they actually believe. In Season 2, Episode 5 of the Let ’R Rip Podcast, Jake Sirokman and Mikey Getz sit down with Amber Ford, better known online as Petty Crocker, for a raw conversation about faith, family, social media, political commentary, personal responsibility, motherhood, preparedness, and why Amber believes Americans need to start thinking and acting with greater purpose. Known online as @pettycrocker88, Amber has built an audience around direct cultural and political commentary mixed with Christian faith, Southern personality, motherhood and patriotism. But this conversation goes deeper than politics. Amber opens up about losing her father at 15, growing up through financial hardship and family trauma, refusing to let those circumstances define her life, and why she has such little patience for a culture that rewards permanent victimhood. She also explains why she doesn’t immediately react to every breaking story online, why credibility matters more than being first, how she researches topics before speaking publicly, the difference between having convictions and blindly following political personalities, the role faith plays in her worldview, and why she believes change has to begin inside our homes and local communities. In this episode: • Why Amber started speaking publicly about politics and culture • How Petty Crocker became her online voice • Why being first isn’t worth sacrificing credibility • Outrage culture and the race to go viral • Critical thinking in the social-media era • Faith versus political worship • Personal responsibility versus permanent victimhood • Overcoming trauma without letting it become your identity • Motherhood, family and protecting the next generation • Why meaningful change starts inside the home • Building stronger local communities • Women’s self-defense, preparedness and situational awareness • Knowing your purpose before speaking publicly • Why Amber says it’s time to stop talking and start living with intention The episode also includes Amber’s personal opinions and interpretations of disputed political events and disaster-response issues. Those portions represent the guest’s views and should not be understood as independently established facts; for example, official records document Hurricane Helene making landfall as a Category 4 hurricane before producing catastrophic inland impacts. 👇 What stood out to you most: personal responsibility, critical thinking, faith, or the need to strengthen our communities?

    How to Build a Clothing Brand That Actually Lasts with Jeff Baustert | Let 'R Rip

    What if everything you’ve been told about building a clothing brand is wrong? Anyone can print a T-shirt. Building a brand people actually believe in is a completely different game. Jeff Baustert spent years making little to no money while building Iron & Ink, proving that longevity isn’t built on hype, it’s built on consistency, quality, and refusing to quit. On this episode of the Let ’R Rip Podcast, Jake Sirokman and Mikey Getz sit down with Jeff Baustert, founder of Iron & Ink Clothing Co. and drummer of Throw The Fight, for a raw conversation about what it really takes to build a successful apparel brand from the ground up. Jeff shares the real story behind Iron & Ink’s journey, from designing his first shirts with no experience, learning every aspect of manufacturing and screen printing, surviving the early years with little profit, growing an authentic community, landing in Tillys, partnering with musicians and tattoo artists, and why most clothing brands fail long before they ever have a chance to succeed. In this episode, we discuss: • Why “the market is saturated” is the biggest excuse entrepreneurs make • Anyone can print a shirt, but building a real brand is the hard part • The truth about apparel manufacturing, quality control, and sourcing garments • Merch vs. apparel and why there is a difference • How Iron & Ink landed major retail partnerships without sacrificing its identity • Building an authentic brand through consistency instead of hype • Working with musicians, tattoo artists, and creators to build community • Organic growth vs. paid advertising and what actually moves the needle • Why customer experience will always outperform clever marketing • The mindset required to survive years before seeing real success If you’re building a business, launching a clothing brand, creating content, making music, tattooing, or simply chasing something bigger than yourself, this episode is packed with lessons you can apply immediately.

    Jolt Cola, Bad Decisions & Season 2 | Jake & Mikey Let It Rip

    Season 2, Episode 2 | Jake & Mikey Are Back Jake and Mikey are back for Season 2 of the Let R Rip Podcast—and this time, there’s no guest, no real plan, and apparently way too much Jolt Cola. What starts as a simple catch-up quickly turns into East Coast vs. West Coast trash talk, questionable beverage reviews, travel stories, bad jokes, random tangents, and the kind of conversation that happens when two longtime friends are left completely unsupervised with microphones. Jake shares stories from his recent trip to New York, why he finally stepped away from the laptop, and how learning to be present has changed the way he experiences life. Mikey reflects on his travels through Montana and Utah, why he no longer wants to be defined by a single title, and somehow manages to turn a conversation about Jolt Cola into an identity crisis. Along the way, they talk about taking a break from the podcast, embracing new experiences, friendship, creativity, travel, family, and the simple reality that life is a lot more fun when you stop trying to control every outcome. Mostly, though, this episode is exactly what Let R Rip is all about—two friends talking shit, laughing at each other, going completely off the rails, and somehow stumbling into a few meaningful conversations along the way. In This Episode: The return of Let R Rip for Season 2Mikey’s obsession with Jolt ColaEast Coast vs. West CoastWhy the podcast took a breakJake’s trip to New YorkMikey’s travels through Montana and UtahLiving in the moment instead of filming everythingStarting new chapters after 40Tattoo culture, creativity, and identityFriendship, family, and questionable life adviceWhat’s next for Let R RipNo scripts. No polished answers. No fake podcast voices. Just Jake Sirokman and Mikey Getz catching up, talking trash, and letting it rip.

    Tommy Vext: Faith, Recovery, Reinvention & Building With A Vengeance | Let 'R Rip Podcast

    SEASON 2 STARTS HERE. Tommy Vext has lived more lives than most people will experience in a lifetime. From the underground New York hardcore scene to platinum records, global tours, addiction, homelessness, near-death experiences, recovery, public scrutiny, rebuilding from the ground up, and now launching With A Vengeance, Tommy joins us for one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had on the Let 'R Rip Podcast. This isn’t an interview built around headlines. This is a conversation about what happens after life breaks you. We dive deep into the moments that shaped Tommy, not only as a musician, but as a man. He shares stories about growing up in New York, earning his place in hardcore, Divine Heresy, Snot, Westfield Massacre, filling in for Five Finger Death Punch, the worldwide success of Bad Wolves, writing music that reached millions, and why none of those accomplishments ultimately defined him. Instead, this episode explores something much bigger. Faith. Purpose. Recovery. Brotherhood. Leadership. Responsibility. The cost of conviction. And why becoming the man you’re meant to become is worth every setback you’ll ever endure. Throughout this conversation Tommy opens up about: • Growing up in the New York hardcore scene • Getting sober and rebuilding his life • His near-death experience that changed everything • Losing everything and starting over • Building With A Vengeance • The responsibility of leadership • Creating from purpose instead of ego • Brotherhood and loyalty • The music industry • Entrepreneurship • Living with conviction • Faith • Personal accountability • What success actually means One moment stood above everything else. “Nothing happened to me. It happened for me.” That single sentence perfectly summarizes this entire episode. If you’re an entrepreneur… If you’re a musician… If you’re rebuilding your life… If you’ve ever questioned your purpose… This conversation is for you. 👇 If something in this episode resonates with you, leave a comment and let us know your biggest takeaway.
