Blake tries, and fails, to show some love to his wife, and the guys talk about their respective Christmas dinners- let’s just say Blake will be joining the Morgans this year. It wouldn’t be a Blk & Blu episode without Blake sharing yet another horror story about his Airbnb (there’s a common denominator here) or his love for pirates…we’re talking mutinies, pirate divers, the whole shabang. Naturally, the conversation derails as the guys talk about the upcoming Gundies, and how Blake feels robbed of his shot at Most Dapper…maybe he should wear the Santa suit more often. For those of you hoping to claim the “$100 Nickname & Slap” contest, a brave student has already secured the victory…you can still call him Blakeypoo though. In case you’re here for education purposes, Kyle dives into Mark Zuckerberg's recent Meta policy updates, the Canadian Prime Minister’s resignation, and a little geography pop quiz- that bridge to Alaska won’t build itself. Mix in a couple inappropriate jokes here and there, and this episode feels like 8th grade recess all over again. You won’t leave this episode any smarter, but you’ll definitely be entertained.

Bonus Episodes & Training Content: PatreonIt might be a new year, but it’s the same old podcast! Welcome back to another episode of Blk & Blu, where Blake blacks out for an hour and Kyle bullies him for it…to be expected. In all seriousness, the guys kick things off with a discussion on their jam-packed holidays, from Thanksgiving, to Starship Commander’s birthday (some serious serenading goes on here), and eventually unpacking the Christmas Special. We know it might come as a surprise, but Kyle was NOT stoked to be Santa’s #1 Elf.Of course, the guys address the elephant in the room, or I guess the aircraft in the sky, and talk drones. Yes they can see you. Yes they are there. No, Blake and Kyle are not wearing their nods to see them clearly at night. Sorry folks. Blake shares an interesting clip of a one-armed fighter, then immediately dives into a story on how he got jumped at church camp…I’m wondering if there’s a correlation there. They talk about insurance fraud (AGAIN) and about Kyle hurting his back (AGAIN, but way less cool) and then wrap up with an update on their adoption attempts. Yeah, it’s that kind of episode, it’s chaos wrapped in a shiny New Year’s bow.

Bonus Episodes & Training Content: Patreon‘Tis the season! Welcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast, where we’re celebrating the holidays with a special Christmas edition episode! You’re in for a treat, as Blake & Kyle celebrate the only way they know how, by committing to the bit…well at least Blake did. We kick things off with Blake sharing the story of his first time dressing up as Santa (it clearly wasn’t the punishment it was intended to be) and what he’ll bring to the Morgan household on Christmas…Georgie may be in for a rude awakening. Kyle shares how he’d love to be Superman (minus Kryptonite) and they discuss their love for training and connecting with supporters. Blake shares his newfound relief after his therapeutic interview with Shawn, and how it’s helped law enforcement viewers themselves. It wouldn’t be a Blk & Blu episode without pirates and gangs, as Blake clears the air on some things he said online. To wrap it all up (with a big silver bow) the guys share a heartfelt message from a supporter, discuss their 10 year plan, and make some rather unusual requests…trust me, you won’t want to miss this one!

Bonus Episodes & Training Content: PatreonWelcome back to the Blk & Blu Podcast! In today’s episode, the guys tackle everything from what not to do on the range (we won’t name names here) to what movies would represent their lives (insert yet another Jake Gyllenhaal meme here). Blake reveals how he is in fact not tougher than the sun, and how Kyle fell out of a helicopter…it’s honesty hour folks. Then, things get a little too real when they dive into a bizarre school notice about fines for a certain…personal activity…you won’t believe what the kids are doing these days. It’s not all fun and games though, as Blake thanks Kyle for his military service, and how he’ll forever be jealous of Kyle’s time as a Seal. All jokes aside, this episode is a good one- you don’t want to miss it. Well, you’re already here, so might as well hit that play button.

In episode 2, we kick things off with Blake sharing the nightmarish weekend getaway he had (yes, it includes CQB in an Airbnb) and how he met Blackbeard's grandson...in great detail. Kyle shares his recent injury news (insert Jake Gyllenhaal meme here) and how it's not stopping him from living his dreams of becoming a podcaster. They talk fellowship, advice Blake would give his younger self, and the burning question - what did Kyle wear to workout in Afghanistan? It's as patriotic as it gets.

Bonus Episodes & Training Content: PatreonWelcome to the first episode of the Blu & Blu Podcast! In this pilot episode, we’re kicking things off with a little bit of everything — from how we came up with the name for this podcast (trust us, it’s not as simple as it sounds) to high school sports and getting saucy at Applebee’s. You’ll hear about what happens when you cheat on the ACT (spoiler: don’t do it), the time Blake paid $150 for a bottle of Five Hour Energy, and Kyle’s time in Desert Storm. It’s a little bit of everything — but mostly it’s us just telling it like it is. So, grab a seat and let’s get into it.
