Welcome back to the Ones Ready Podcast, where sarcasm is a love language and tough love is free. In this episode, Aaron, Trent, and Peaches go full scorched earth on the real MVPs of military recruiting… overbearing parents. You know the type—rolling into recruiter offices like it’s a job interview at Deloitte, trying to “negotiate” their precious child’s dream career in the Air Force.

If you think your 18-year-old can’t speak to another adult without backup, this one’s for you. We’re talking about enabling, entitlement, and how the “helicopter generation” is raising drones that can’t function without WiFi, Starbucks orders, or their mom in the waiting room.

Also covered: fighting pro MMA fighters at bars, roasting fake gangsters, and figuring out if Tupac was actually a theater kid. Yes, really.

💥 Recruiters aren’t lying to you – Your ASVAB score just sucks.
💥 Your kid isn’t special – If he needs you to talk to the recruiter for him, maybe basic training isn’t the move.
💥 Parents are the Problem – The real generational curse? Moms negotiating AFSCs like it’s a mortgage.
💥 Prepare the Kid, Not the Road – Life is hard. That’s the point.
💥 Recruiting ≠ Head Hunting – You’re not getting drafted into the NFL. Chill.
💥 Stop Blaming the Military – Maybe your kid just isn’t cut out for it.
💥 British Ninja Sword Bans? – We go global with this one. Seriously.
💥 Tim Kennedy Would Destroy You – And he wouldn’t even spill his coffee.
