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.

To kick things off, Spencer and Kyle do some pre-workout dry scoops, discuss setting a good example for your kids, and Spencer dives into his childhood.

Next, Spencer shares his early successes in high school sports, how he became motivated to join the Army, and what Ranger school taught him. They discuss facing adversity, and how important is to struggle- it's where you learn the most about yourself. They talk SFAS, team week, and Spencer's deployment to Afghanistan.

To wrap, Spencer explains his desire to start Alpha Country after getting out of the military. They recap their first time meeting in person at a course, reflecting on how far Blu Bearing has come along the way. They review Zimo pouches, give some gifts from our sponsors, and close it out.

This is the moment you've all been waiting for...Chris Kingsley is our new co-host, and he's back for another episode of the Blk & Blu podcast! This week, the guys debunk the conspiracies about the Maduro raid, address the current headlines in the news, and introduce a new segment: Hot Takes.

To get things started, Kyle catches up with Chris since their last episode. For those wondering why he took a break from streaming, we can confirm it was to spend time with family. He may or may not have family in Caracas...

Next up, Chris and Kyle workshop a new nickname for the Blk & Blu listeners, let us know what you think in the comments. They discuss the protests, interfering with investigations, and whether or not they play music on their way to a mission. Spoiler alert, The Doobie Brothers are on repeat.

To wrap, the guys discuss profanity, why they don't use it, and how it's led to greater self-control. Let's get into it.

Next up, Erica and Kyle share their Christmas day activities, how Santa helped them identify (and solve) a problem, and Erica proved that she can shoot, move, AND communicate. To wrap, the two dive into drinking the world's most expensive poop coffee (yes, you read that right), their family fantasy league, and how their home renovation project too WAY longer than expected. For those who aren't night owls, Erica and Kyle ring in the New Year the right way: about 8pm followed by some shut-eye. Let's get into it!
