Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream is great! You can use with your coffee, but it also pairs well with some Root Beers, Dr. Pepper, or a Root Beer Float. Been Drinking that since 2017 when I want something refreshing at the end of the day that is sweet.

Other than that, enjoy your podcast, keep up the good work.

Nerds and Guns

5 stars for nerds and guns, surprised to find a fantasy discussion let alone a Cousin of The Lopen.

You won’t find me listening to any fantasy podcasts but I’m more than happy to indulge it with my gun podcasts.

When chili was first invented, beans were not a part of the recipe, however, they were slowly added over time. Text and history says no beans, but tradition says beans. If you’re debating beans or no beans in chili though, you’re all wrong. For good chili, trust me, add mushrooms.

— Eric J

Newish listener, best podcast ever! Great content with everything from guns and gear talk to hilarious banter, engrossing stories and even where to buy horse cum. How much more can you ask for?!?!?

Five polygons!

Great show, very entertaining discussions and hilarious cast members with many chunks of valuable knowledge sprinkled amongst the banter. I love how the podcast addresses both technical questions, legal questions, and isn’t afraid to cross any boundary (except for criticizing Israel or using the hard R apparently). Here is my assessment of the cast members:

Sheawhn is the glue that holds everything together and seemingly the only one who knows how to operate a computer. I love how he is both the voice of reason as well as by far the biggest asshole on the podcast at the same time. Kind of a poser for acting all prepper like but living in an apartment like a cuck. Overall though I’m glad he’s here.

Jeremy pretends to be what Sheawhn often is, aka a giant douche, but it’s pretty obvious he’s actually a giant teddy bear who is always helping a brother out despite his harsh words. I guess raising daughters does that to you. There’s a reason he’s everyone’s favorite, his opinions are usually right, except regarding the definition of chili.

Nick is great gameshow host, though I think the first rendition of gunfights was the best, please go back to that. Despite being the most monotone and depressed sounding cast member, he always manages to surprise everyone with a well timed quip or ill timed bowel movement.

Aaron and Savage are the retarded kids that everyone is friends with just because they love seeing the stupid shit they get up to. When they argue with each other, it’s probably one of the most hilarious bits of the show. It’s like watching a crackhead fight a creepy serial killer.

Keep it up guys and just know that I cry myself to sleep every night because I live in California and 90% of your subject matter is illegal here.

Absolutely fantastic podcast. Best damn firearms podcast there is! I’ve been listening for a while now and went back to listen to many more. I’ve probably listened to 100-150 episodes so far. I’ve learned a lot and been entertained for hours. I’d love to meet the cast someday, they’re all great! I’m even friends with shawn on call of Duty, though I’ve never got to play with him. Ps. My clan tag is WLS69 for easy identification. Keep it up guys!!

Great show with a knowledgeable cast. My one gripe is that I now have to defend Aaron, according to the International Chili Society there are two types of chili, red and green, they are made of red or green peppers, meat, spices and sauce, no beans. The Chili Appreciation Society International also forbids beans from their competitions classifying them as a filler like macaroni or rice. So Aaron is right.

— Q Cooper

Having John Patton on the show is great. Please fire Aaron and bring John on permanently.

You guys continue to pump out great episodes week after week.
When I first started listening, couldn't understand why Jeremy was always a dick to Aaron. After the third episode, I couldn't figure out why Jeremy hadn't driven over her to Michigan, kick-fucked Aaron to death, then smiled at the jury when his charges were read. All he'd have to do is play about 45 seconds of Aaron's autistic screeches and all charges would be dropped. Hell, he might even have a civil case against Aaron's family for psychological damages.
The latest episodes with Jon (aka TGC Beardy McBearderstein) have been incredibly informative as he and Jeremy just bring so much firearms knowledge to the table it's insane.
I do like the fact that Shawn et al won't shill for bullshit companies but have the 3 bullet-point requirements before you'll let them be a sponsor. I think back to all the groups that sold Big Daddy Unfuckyoulimited with zeal. Only person I saw actually apologize for that Ponzi bullshit was Jon, so props to him.
Keep bringing the good info; keep allowing only good sponsors (I've spent Canada's GDP on Nutrient Survival); and keep the humor dark.

How's it going you filthy, stinking, {REDACTED]s?
Been listening since 2018 and I think I'm fully equipped to explain why this show is the one and only podcast I have consistently went back to since.
This cast is fuckin wild. Not once have I experienced the dysfunctional education of this show elsewhere. I've learned more from this show than pretty much any other piece of media has taught me.
Shawn is honestly one of the absolute BEST hosts, keeps it insightful while getting drunk and doxxing himself, all for our amusement, thanks Shawn. The fact that you can wrangle this merry band-o-bri'ish cigarettes is incredible especially considering one can punch your organs into jelly. I appreciate the different things you attempt and report back on, its a great way to expand horizons and I know you have motivated me and others into trying new things. Also, if you have to flee your state, pls come to Tennessee, us east cost listeners wanna drive out for events as well.
Nick has got to be the most hilarious, yet deadpan, fountain of insight and he's always there to keep things on track, drop some super useful info, or find a way to verbally dropkick an argument hard enough to make you entirely question it sometimes. IBS/10 I shit often too.
Savage is a couple inches shy of being considered for the part of the rest of the fingers. Jokes aside, Savage does have a set of knowledge he brings that is a bit more unconventional in the firearm world but I believe it translates well, especially with new tech and how it relates. Insert next savage complement here.
Jeremy, you and I are a lot alike. My dad died at 14, my dad left me a Pre-64 94 in.30-30. Ranch. But aside from literally everything else, yeah. Your knowledge on firearms is fucking incredible, I swear I try to learn as much as I can every day, but you will still come on air and speak about something I never would have thought to be a thing and give me a new rabbit hole to fall into. Truly a spectacle to listen to not only how something like jacket composition can affect a round's accuracy, but also the pure beauty of hearing a well placed kys. Truly a brutally honest take we all need. I'll be making a 9 hour drive to Valley City one day just to give you money.
Aaron. You are the friend people keep in the group because its more of an inconvenience to kick out than to just tolerate. It's actually brainmelt listening to your logic when you get heated about something you don't understand. Are you fuckin with me? Are you pretending to be r*tarded? If not, we should send you to the Ukraine so all that knuckledragging can help build trenches. Honestly though, Aaron gets a lot of shit, which he probably deserves, but he does bring a crackhead energy, interesting stories, funny anecdotes, and some occasionally useful personal experience. despite the many, many, many, many shortcomings, the show wouldn't be the same without ya pal.
Sincerely, this show is amazing, I've recommended WLS to just about everyone, no one has even slightly disliked it yet. As long as you'll make em', I'll listen and watch every chance I get.
