We're back with an all new episode of the Blk & Blu podcast! This week we have a very special guest, Lieutenant Governor of Florida, Jay Collins!

To kick things off, Jay and Kyle discuss the difference between a quiet professional, and a silent professional, and how veteran stories need to be shared. They get into Jay's upbringing, his early military career, and what it was like being a dual military couple.

Next up, the guys find common ground throughout their lives as they compare their time in the 82nd, SFAS, and more. Jay tells the story of how he performed surgery on his own arm, broke his back, and ultimately had his leg amputated. They discuss being broken, feeling the pressure to perform, and how nonprofits led Jay to recovery and politics.

To wrap, Jay reflects on the responsibility he's been given, delivers a message to any veterans out there watching, and they debate which is better, North Carolina or Florida. Let's get into it.

We're back with an all new episode of the Blk & Blu podcast! This week, our cohost Chris Kingsley returned  to discuss streaming, the Protector Mindset course, and what's been going on since he was last on the pod.

To get things started, Chris and Kyle recap the Street Bike Tommy episode, and Chris gives his take on it. Did anyone else think Tommy and Kyle sounded the same? They discuss movie quotes, Chris' recent loss in the family, and how he's found his niche with streaming.

Next, Chris and Kyle react to some Battlefield 6 clips, discuss weapon attachments and kit shakeouts, and the use of real tactics in video games. They aren't Leeroy Jenkins, but they're pretty close.

To wrap, Kyle gives his hot take of the week, Chris goes down the Maxx Crosby rabbit hole, and they end with some reflections on the past weekend. Let's get into it.

The Blk & Blu podcast is back with an all new episode, this time featuring a very special guest- Tommy Passemante AKA Street Bike Tommy! In this episode, Tommy and Kyle discuss dangerous stunts, hanging drywall, and getting into scripture.
To kick things off, Tommy gives the unabridged version of the famous foam pit jump. If you've ever wondered just how high in the air he was, buckle up. He shares what it was like working on Nitro Circus & The Explosion Show, his biggest injuries, and why surgery is scary.
Next up, the two discuss getting arrested, how they both used to hang drywall, and are both grateful for the experiences they've had throughout their lives.
To wrap, Tommy and Kyle unpack why you should listen to the small still voice, how reading scripture can be daunting, and how lessons learned over the years can truly help others. They discuss what it means to be capable, why people should train, and we close with a gift from our sponsors. Let's get into it.

Chris is back on the Blk & Blu podcast! This week, the guys discuss their mutual connections, the Super Bowl, Spanish colonization, and Valentine's Day.

To kick things off, Chris shares how he actually knows our last guest Spencer Lewis, and where their paths first crossed. They react to a statistic on the percentage of adult men that will never sprint again, and what they do to combat it.

Next up, we're talking all things Super Bowl. Chris gives his hot take (lukewarm at best) on the halftime show, provides a quick history lesson on Puerto Rico, and Kyle gives his thoughts on the game, and why it was boring.

To wrap, Kyle shares photos of his family's new puppy, they unpack Valentine's Day festivities, and react to the First Responder's Coffee Company (and Cigars...and Cask) Valentine's Cards. Chris gives his thoughts on his new pistol, and they shoutout Lake County Mafia. Let's get into it.

Welcome back to the Blk & Blu podcast! This week, Kyle is joined by former Green Beret and founder of Alpha Country Training & Nutrition, Spencer Lewis. They discuss his life growing up, what led him to join Special Forces, and starting Alpha Country in 2021.

Next, Spencer shares his early successes in high school sports, how he became motivated to join the Army, and what Ranger school taught him.
