What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Featuring: The CCT Dad Rage, The PJ Emotionally-Damaged Fitness Cultist, and The SR Cryptic Forest Cyber Wizard. Welcome back to the Team Room — where the jokes are dark, the humor is questionable, the hydration is Hoist‑flavored self‑respect, and absolutely nothing is approved by PA. 🍑 PEACHES — The CCT Who’s 5’6” in Height, 6’8” in Intensity (aka Jared Pietras) This dude walks around like someone stole his CAS stack. His blood type is JTAC, his love language is grid coordinates, and he has putin warheads on foreheads since birth Thinks the solution to every problem is “Have you tried controlling the airspace?” Chiefing his way through life and tangents Get behooved Known for his iconic rants where he freezes up and blames a TBI then tells you the story how his head got a boo-boo Can’t relax unless he’s wearing a headset and yelling “CLEARED HOT.” Believes maps should be laminated because “tears are not waterproof.” ♥️🇺🇸 Aaron Loves America — The PJ Whose Ego is an Airborne HazMat Incident (aka Aaron Love) The man, the myth, the legend that is such a narcissistic douchebag he has his own hate club, however the only reason you hate is because he is always right. He always tells you what is on his mind whether you like it or not, because truth hurts. A-A-Ron is what happens when a self‑help book gets into a fistfight with an OCP‑covered ambulance. He’s 40% therapist, 40% medic, 40% philosopher, and 120% bad at math. Will fix your broken leg AND your childhood trauma — but complain about both. Spends 90% of his time training BJJ and 10% explaining why you should too. Tells you he’s humble loud enough for people across the gym to hear it. “You don’t hate me — you hate the truth.” ⛈️Weather Nerd Trent — The SR Woodland Cryptid Who Speaks in Riddles (aka Trenton Seegmiler) the SR guy who will never tell you what the day to day of SR looks like because all they do is sit around dressed up like shrubbery hacking computers, nerds. The one who sits down and has a dad talked no one asked for but it secretly contains infinite wisdom. Known for his iconic Seegway He materializes from a bush, says something wise that sounds like a prophecy, and then disappears back into foliage with zero explanation. Has a fetish for sUAS Hides in bushes for both tactical and emotional reasons. Can hack your laptop using a stick and a USB cable he probably whittled. Gives advice so cryptic you don’t realize you’re being roasted until the ride home. 🚨TEAM ROOM RULES Don’t be weird… unless it’s funny. Then commit fully. Be a good dude. Or at least not the worst dude. Hydrate with Hoist — because your kidneys hate you already. Embrace the suck. Hug the suck. Write poetry to the suck. Start training yesterday. If you didn’t, train harder today. Or suffer tomorrow. Nobody’s coming to save you… except maybe the PJ. But he’s judging you the entire time. 🔴SMASH THAT SUBSCRIBE BUTTON Join the Team Room. Yeet yourself into the comments. Hit a thumbs up with the violence of a misplaced flashbang. Attend an OTS because chaos loves company. And remember: “Motivation fades. Muscle aches. Hydration tastes like Black Cherry Hoist. But the team room? The team room is forever.”

Till Valhalla Brother · Mar 2026

Been listening to these guys for a few months. They present such a wealth of information, and do so in a way that is engaging, motivating, and often times hilarious. Additionally, you can just tell they are good dudes by their willingness to help total strangers. Outstanding podcast!

pdx_bdwy · Aug 2025

Helped me to mentally prepare and make a useful workout routine to excel in my development course. Great mentoring advice for anyone pursuing a career in the SOF community

Avatāra · Aug 2025

Come for the advice, stay to hear Trent misuse big words while Peaches shows that great things come in small packages… and Aaron yells at you until you actually improve. 10/10.
