🔥 Episode Overview
In this episode, Edgar and Isaac kick things off with jokes about RGB lights, being late, and the hypocrisy of content-creator clichés. From there, they dive into current fundraising efforts, upcoming comedy events, range culture, the myth of “just practice,” and how real-world self-defense differs dramatically from social-media gun performance.
The show piles on humor, profanity, and philosophical questioning about training, performance shooting, and defensive gun use — with a dose of community updates.

💬 Topic 1: “Just go practice at the range”
Why Edgar hates that advice:
- People say they’ll “figure it out,” but don’t know what they’re doing.
- No feedback → no measurable improvement → same mistakes every time.
- Correcting shots doesn’t mean you understand why you missed.
- Range habits can reinforce bad technique, not fix it.
“Your brain knows how to hit the target, but it doesn’t know why you’re screwing up.”
đź’¬ Topic 2: Dry Fire, Performance Metrics, and Instagram Tactics
- Performance shooters often preach dry fire — but without context, it becomes ritual, not skill-building.
- Too many shooters obsessed with:
- Speed
- Timers
- Sub-second draws
- Clips for social media
- Reholstering fast without looking = sloppy and dangerous.
- Measuring performance isn’t the same as preparing for a violent event.
💬 Topic 3: Context Matters — Fighting vs Performing
- Video examples of “fast” shooters with ridiculous “sexy arms” posture.
- Training that looks cool ≠applicable in real defensive shootings.
- Real defensive posture involves:
- Surprise
- Cognitive processing
- Movement & uncertainty
- You don’t get to “posture” into your gun bef
