  • Love these two, but…

    First of all, I truly LOVE these two and am so glad Special Forces allowed me to get to know them even better. Love your podcast! There have been a few times I’ve had to turn it off because it’s hard for me to hear how Shawn talks to Andrew. She talks to him like she’s his mom and I wish I could say it’s a rare occurrence. She speaks as if she has it all (including him) figured out. I think possibly the only reason she doesn’t seem to see it is because Andrew doesn’t do it back. He just takes it... more

    As a prior army medic, I have a lot of respect for Shawn and Andrew. I respect the fact that they took this entire course seriously, and did everything in their power to do it to their absolute best.

It’s 10 times worse!!” 😂 I also felt like I had a behind-the-scenes kind of view. My husband (prior Navy Corpsman) knows Rudy, so it was kind of fun to wat... more

    In general, I enjoy the podcast and I’m listening to all of the recaps of Special Forces. I can’t though with Shawn using the term “bruh” so much. Is she a teenage boy?!
