Summary

Mostly true tales of barroom brawls, bad decisions, and near misses. From former Navy SEALs to your average badass, every story walks the line between chaos and comedy. It's the stuff that happens when the uniform comes off and the liberty clock starts ticking. Some made it out clean. Some barely made it out at all. Either way, it's one hell of a ride. Pull up a stool. This is Liberty Risk.2025 Social Sciences

  • Ep. 60 • Todd Sharbutt • A Warrior Finds His Way: From Desert Storm To DevGru, To Life Beyond The Teams
    May 13 2026

    On this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, the crew sit down with Todd Sharbutt - retired Navy SEAL Master Chief, DEVGRU veteran, BUD/S instructor, Red Cell operator, and one of the true OGs of Naval Special Warfare.

    Todd's career spans the full evolution of the Teams.

    From punk rock clubs in Los Angeles and silk-screening shirts for bands like the Dead Kennedys… to Desert Storm… the early days of DEVGRU… 9/11… Afghanistan… Iraq… Hollywood… and ultimately veteran advocacy.

    And somehow, the stories are every bit as wild as you'd expect.

    Todd brings a rare firsthand look into old-school SEAL culture, Green Team in the 90s, Red Cell, BUD/S leadership, and life inside the command before and after the Global War on Terror. Along the way, there's no shortage of side quests - from sneaking into Kuwait City post-Desert Storm to behind-the-scenes film industry chaos on projects like Iron Man and The Last Ship.

    This one is loaded with:
    SEAL Team 3, DEVGRU, Red Cell, and BUD/S leadership
    Desert Storm, Afghanistan, Iraq, and early GWOT operations
    Old-school Naval Special Warfare culture and legendary Team stories
    Hollywood military advising, filmmaking, and industry absurdity
    Punk rock roots, outrageous stories, and decades of perspective

    But beneath all the humor, chaos, and incredible stories, this episode goes deeper.

    After decades of war, loss, and the invisible weight so many veterans carry, Todd opens up about ibogaine treatment, psychedelic therapy, PTSD, TBI, and why he's become a passionate advocate for helping veterans find real healing outside the broken conventional system.

    Like every Liberty Risk episode, it's hilarious, brutally honest, and completely unfiltered - but at its core, this is a powerful conversation about service, sacrifice, reinvention, and continuing the mission long after combat ends.

    From punk rock kid… to SEAL Team legend… to healing advocate.

    Todd's story covers it all.

  • Ep. 59 • Moe Jeudy-Lamour • Morocco Adventures, Movies, & Hollywood Shenanigans
    May 6 2026

    On this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, the guys sit down with Moe Jeudy-Lamour - actor, writer, former football player, and Kevin's previous co-star on Jack Ryan - for a conversation packed with Hollywood stories, personal transformation, and enough behind-the-scenes chaos to make this one unforgettable.

    Moe's path is anything but typical.

    From growing up in Montreal as a chronically sick kid, to completely rebuilding himself after becoming obsessed with Terrell Owens, to eventually sharing the screen with some of the biggest names in film and television - including a surreal full-circle moment where T.O. himself looked straight into camera and reminded Moe, "I'm the real T.O." 😂

    Along the way, it gets ridiculous.

    Kevin unexpectedly showing up at Moe's hotel in Morocco just as he's heading for poolside drinks - only to drag him straight into desert combat training.
    A cast member pulling a 24-hour vodka marathon through Ramadan before wandering a belly dancing restaurant in Marrakesh introducing himself to strangers.
    Real Navy SEALs dropping the Hollywood act mid-scene when things went sideways during filming.
    Kevin accidentally losing his son in the Louvre.

    And somehow… that's just scratching the surface.

    Beyond the humor, this episode dives deep into:
    Jack Ryan behind-the-scenes stories and military tech advising
    Ted Lasso, acting, and surviving Hollywood
    Football, discipline, and total personal reinvention
    Stress response, high-performance training, and mindset
    AI, entertainment, and the future of storytelling

    Like every Liberty Risk episode, it's hilarious, unfiltered, and loaded with side quests - but underneath all the laughs is a real conversation about resilience, adaptation, and what it takes to evolve when life keeps changing the mission.

    From football fields… to film sets… to Moroccan deserts.

    This one's got it all.

  • Ep. 58 • Jon Wechter Returns! • Blackwater, Bachelor Parties & Ranger Battalion 🇺🇸🏴‍☠️
    Apr 29 2026

    On this episode of the Liberty Risk Podcast, former Army Ranger Jon Wechter returns for round two - and if you thought his first appearance was wild, this one somehow goes even further.

    After one of our most talked-about episodes covering everything from Ranger Battalion, spirituality, psychedelics, and the search for truth, Jon is back - a little older, sharper, and with even more chaos, perspective, and hard-earned lessons.

    As always, nothing stays in one lane.

    From absurd Coronado mushroom-fueled adventures, Ranger Regiment stories, and military culture deep dives… to Blackwater, Afghanistan, healing, mentorship, and the deeper realities of life after years spent chasing intensity.

    Jon breaks down lessons from his time in 2nd Ranger Battalion, the brutal standards of Regiment, leadership, identity, and what happens when you finally step back and start asking bigger questions about purpose, growth, and who you actually are beyond the mission.

    This episode is packed with exactly what you'd expect:
    Ranger Battalion culture, RASP, and life inside Regiment
    Blackwater and Afghanistan withdrawal stories
    Wild military side quests, bachelor party disasters, and Coronado chaos
    Special Operations mentorship and preparing the next generation
    Psychedelics, healing, spirituality, and long-term transformation

    Like every Liberty Risk episode, it's hilarious, profane, completely unfiltered, and loaded with enough side quests to make your head spin - but underneath it all is a deeper conversation about brotherhood, self-discovery, and the constant evolution of identity after service.

    Jon's story has always been about growth, perspective shifts, and pushing boundaries.

    This time, we go even deeper, come hang with us!
