I don't know if anyone has read "You're Stepping on my Cloak and Dagger" by Roger Hall, but it is a great book about his experience in the OSS and talks about spening time at the Country Club, and working with the Jedburghs. I wonder if he crossed paths with Ortiz.
Nat was airdrop by the cia to derail leftists podcasts
Le Duke Nukem
Fun fact, Kermit Roosevelt’s son was the CIA officer that overthrew Mohammad Mossadeq in Iran in 1953
“Airplane travel always made me sick, so I was happy to jump out.” - Ortiz on his marine parachute training
Two words: BOAT CLOAK
I got so excited by that Black Company reference. I was also thinking of Croaker as Joe was talking

The laugh at 51:35 from Tom killed me
Joe. You are my favorite vet from Michigan. But homie, I laugh Everytime the ad plays for the live show in Quirk. When you say "Quirk" is sounds like you are asking a question like "is this right", I lol irl frfr.
We need a comprehensive list of official LLBD Dudes who Rock.
I would love to see more episodes on the French Foreign Legion and the Algerian Independence struggle in general.
Dudes rock
Does anyone know if Joes warhammer podcast fell thru? He was mentioning it a bunch and then it just fell off his outro
He said that they are still working on it
"See you in Cork" sounds regrettably a lot like "See you in court"
Riftwars? I read those books, don't remember this character. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Riftwar_Cycle
There’s an opportunity for new lyrics to You Belong To Me but I’m not cool enough to think of them. I’m pilled on Le woquisme though
Making fun of Sydney Sweeney is too easy. I don’t make fun of heavy hanging fruit.
Ortiz moving like a incarnate of Dracula Flow. “This shit ain’t nothing to me man, I’m moving different, Nazi’s mad they stay picking the corn outta my shit”
I should have known that Joe has read the black company
Jesus look at those cheekbones...
Nate that sort of guy do not eat FOOD they're the huel type who having grown up pampered develop "complexes" around masculine asceticism
Peter Ortiz was who Richard Marcinko thought he was.
While in reality Peter Ortiz' toenail clippings are more badass than Marcinko could ever hope to be.
As someone who is 6'4 hearing all the jokes about a 6'3 guy being a giant feels a little weird. I'm not that large, am I?
You are large, but you would be short compared to my father who is, no joke and no lie, 6' 10" tall. Totally uncoordinated and definitely not scary though lol
From your stories, it would be the antithesis of this guy, but at this point will there ever be a Joe‘s grandpa episode?
Tom, I submit Joseph Medicine Crow is still the most awesome person covered on this podcast.
Golf courses could be put to better use, like... growing kale, or nuclear waste treatment plants. I used to think golf courses were the most pointless use land could be put to, but now of course we have AI data centres.
And here was me thinking the Riftwar was an interdimensional conflict chronicled by Raymond Feist...
And I can't BELIEVE I'm the first one to say this.
Capital "B" Beautiful.
lol this guy rocks. Certified Dudes Rock Moment
A couple weeks ago I almost went to the Museum of the Marine in NC but decided it would be too jingoistic and wouldn't appreciate me making wet soldier jokes. I go to look this guy up and where is the most handsome pic from? The museum I didn't go to.
VIVA LA GUERRA CONTRA FASCISMA
He couldn't be stopped because Mustangs and high APR loans hadn't been invented yet
The Medal of Honor games are a true story.
You are NEVER too old for ships and AO3 and I will die on this hill
Hell yeah.
French Resistance Shadow.
Amazing title cant wait to listen
