Ones Ready Ops Brief 037: Daily Drop - 30 April 2025 (Drones, Pedos, &Netflix Thunderbirds)
In this unapologetically chaotic daily drop, Jared rolls through everything from drones dropping grenades to pedos in court and AI that’s apparently too complex for senior leadership to Google. Welcome to the April 30th edition of the Ones Ready podcast—where we break down the actual DoD news that gets sent to generals...and then we make fun of it.
From failed Firefly launches to tribal warfare over F-15EX seating arrangements, this episode is basically the Pentagon's group chat with better commentary. Also, find out which documentary produced by the Obamas might make you respect the Thunderbirds (but probably won’t), and why the “Women, Peace, and Security” program was killed for being “woke,” even though it came from the Trump administration. Yeah, we’re confused too.
Stick around for:
- A take on why AI still scares generals more than enlisted TikToks
- A borderline unhinged breakdown of why drone swarms are everyone's problem
- Whether dropping 500lb bombs equals dead livestock in Houthi press releases
- Thoughts on Thunderbirds, martial law, and why fake rifles in basic are weak sauce

- 🪖 Fake rifles in basic? Major General Davidson thinks so. Jared disagrees.
- 🎥 Netflix Thunderbirds doc drops soon—produced by Barack and Michelle. You heard that right.

- 📜 Congress increased the defense budget, because obviously.
- 🚓 Trump’s martial law-lite EO freaks out civil liberties folks.
