The Art and War Podcast

Lucas joins Nathan for a good old fashioned schizocast episode to discuss the controversy around the new Harry Potter game, the stranglehold the film and book series had on British youth culture in years past, the not so delicate handling of shoehorning a trans character in, bringing a gun into Hogwarts and how developers and game quality in the modern day are crushed by deadlines. The lads also get into the on-going situation in Ohio and Trump’s ‘aid drop’ of a few pallets of water and buying McDonalds for everyone, the year anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, the former US secretary of Energy, Sam Brinton, stealing a Tanzanian clothing designer’s luggage and wearing it publicly, Sam Hyde’s TED Talk and Lucas gets into Sam Hyde lore, car dependent infrastructure and how government intervention to fix this issue instantly trends authoritarian. The lads also touch on home invasion horror films like the new M. Night Shyamalan ‘Knock at the Cabin’ and the original Purge movie.

This week, as Nathan recovers from returning the One Ring from Mount Washington in New Hampshire and BR is unable to edit or upload, we had to call in a favor- and our favor came in the form of Nathan doing another podcast and asking for the audio file so you guys have something for Monday. Schedule will resume as normal next week. Forrest runs Redacted LLC- former cool-guy Ranger, former Recoil Magazine media producer and now a travelling cultural spectator. Find more of his stuff on https://www.redactedllc.com/ , where he has a podcast that's a lot more intelligent than ours with a bit less Tedposting. Forrest will be joining us soon to make new guides. We wax philosophy, talk about Gun Culture 3.0-4.0, reminisce a bit more on Shot, and worry about the future of AI technology. As always, huge thanks to AWS Gear for keeping our lights on and food on the table (ARTANDWAR10 gets you ten bucks off of an AWS SMU warfighting belt), as well as all you guys on Patreon. Please, message me with guest ideas- we're compiling a list for the coming months now that our winter of illness and death is almost over.

Chris McCaghren, founder of Granite Rifle Group out of Arizona joins B.R for an in-person talk on all things related to getting started shooting at longer ranges.

Jack of Guerrilla Tactical returns to the show to chat with Nathan and B.R! The lads get into Every Day Carry medical supplies and Guerrilla Tactical’s new IWB mini-IFAK, making carrying medical ‘sexy’ and how preparedness is becoming less of an afterthought. Also covered is Jack’s trip alongside Grizzly Tactical to provide medical training to a unit of Ukrainian troops in Odessa, traveling into the country on a blacked out train and hearing rockets overhead, the phenomenon of volunteer fighters from overseas and fighting in conflicts that aren’t your own, the questionable recent ‘Don’t arm your enemy’ sentiment trending towards authoritarian politics, the importance of using quality life saving/preserving equipment like authentic CAT tourniquets instead of Chinese copies and much more!

In the wake of mass strikes and warnings out of nowhere against GunTuber creators, Print, Shoot, Repeat joins Nathan and B.R to discuss his experiences as a gun content creator on YouTube. The lads talk how the increased hostility towards gun content on YouTube will impact their future, how the YouTube strike system and resulting lifetime ban works, our thoughts on whether this is state, corporate or a mesh of both influencing YT policy to stomp out gun culture entertainment, the loss of FPSRussia due to dumb laws, the slow sanitization of the internet for corporate interests, what needs to happen to start to fight back against big tech censorship, why YT competitors like Odysee, Rumble etc. just aren’t quite ready to compete yet and what comes next. On a lighter note, the gang talks the SHOT Show after parties, giant Hotwheels, Castlevania and Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots and more at the CRYE Precision party, hanging with the OTTE Gear and Varusteleka lads and some real talk on where the night vision industry is at currently and how far away NVG’s are from being as common as AR’s and Plate Carriers!

Nathan and Felix of Redbeard Tactical sit down with B.R (coping with FOMO) to recount their first time at SHOT Show, the annual massive gun/gear industry event in Las Vegas. B.R asks the questions all of our listeners want to know, from why the lads decided to trek from Canada and Germany respectively to attend, what they made of it, the slowly shifting industry attitude to citizen riflemen, the difference between revolution and evolution in products, the ‘consooomer’ mindset of some attendees and the community at large, the Holosun thermal optic and why it might not deserve the attention it’s getting, someone actually handing the ATF booth Nathan’s meme, handling LMG’s and learning things from manufacturers you would never otherwise get to do and much much more! The lads also share how Nathan broke his foot in Vegas, a cringey attendee wearing ‘concealed’ soft armor to go and gamble in, what’s shaking in the world of night vision, the differences between SHOT and European arms trade shows, the importance of after hours and why there is a certain lack of ‘new solutions’ in the industry.

Joining B.R this week is Mark, founder of the Appalachian Ranger Association, a volunteer citizen preparedness group focused on training in the practices of Minutemen, civilian first responders and community assistance operating out of Knoxville, Tennessee. We get into how the Rangers came to be, the rules and structure that keep them consistent, interacting with the public, providing aid to local communities following recent storms in many different roles, building up from eight guys to company level strength, force multiplying good, going beyond rifleman training to specialize in engineering, reconnaissance and more! Give this episode a listen if you are looking for ways to step up your local group’s training ability, organization and mindset!

To celebrate Christmas this year, B.R and Nathan are joined by Guns and Guillotines, Southern gent, host of The eMilitia Podcast and Instagram Anarchist meme lord. The lads touch on everything festive from finding the crux of Christmas spirit amidst the mindless consumerism the holiday has taken on, if you should uphold the tradition of Santa in your household, the release of thousands of documents on JFK’s assassination over the holiday period, David Harbour’s ‘Frightful Night’ and Santa sledgehammering through SWAT teams, Avatar’s eco-terrorism, Spiked EggNog, the phenomenon of holiday arguments, companies that think they own your body and much much more!
