I am unsure of what exactly to call this new segment, we had discussed "Bolt Action Friday," but it just doesn't have the right ring to it. Michael and I sat down today and discussed a few topics through the lens of experience in different decades of life. For those of you familiar with the show you know that often on Friday I answer Q and A, today is no different, except that Michael is joining me to give his perspective from a younger generation. Before we began I opened with an explanation of the airspace surrounding the Washington DC area, and how something so horrific like the collision between a civilian airliner and military BlackHawk helicopter can occur. I have no details or specifics of the crash, my commentary is on airspace and the complications that can occur only. The remainder of the episode contains topics that I have talked about solo, but was curious about a younger generations take: Military Service Mental Health Relationships Enjoy and let me know what you think of this format.

Chapter 1: What are the key themes discussed in this episode?
Ladies and gentlemen, good morning and welcome back. Friday programming for today. I haven't yet decided as I'm recording this what we're going to call the episode, so I'm not really sure what it's going to be titled. If you've followed the show, you know that on Fridays I will often answer questions, questions received from the listeners or viewers. I call them Full Auto Friday, as in
A rapid fire response. I was thinking about this. You know, Michael is two decades younger than me. And I believe it was actually input from the listeners that suggested maybe bring Michael in and get his opinion on some of this stuff. And I thought it was a really good idea because the way I think about things and the way that younger generations think about things, they're different.
I think it's a cool concept. I don't know how many times we're going to do it. Give me some feedback as to whether or not you liked it or not. I picked some issues that I have talked about not at length, but enough times that people might recognize them. And then I brought them over to the world of, hey, what do you think about this, Michael? What is your generation? What words do they use?
What vernacular do they use? How do they describe this? And I thought it was really cool. I enjoyed it. The time flew by. We did almost an hour, and I'm rambling at this point. So let's get ready to get into it. Now, before we get into it, how am I able to bring this podcast to you for free? I have sponsors and I have ads. So do me a favor. If you like the show, consider supporting the sponsors.
And on that note, please give me the next 60 to 90 seconds to open with today's sponsor of the show, and then we'll get right back into it. Here we go. Ladies and gentlemen, today's episode is brought to you by Peak. Now, I've been talking about this brand for the past month. They are the purveyors of some of the finest teas. And people might say, Andy, but you're a coffee guy.
And I am a coffee guy. But I am open to new things and I am trying to figure out the best way to ruthlessly go after my health and wellness and 20 probably started in 2024 after my stomach surgery and beyond. I'm really digging the product. I've switched it up in my morning routine.
I am making one of these teas specifically from their Pu-erh tea bundle in the morning and then I'm having my coffee a little bit later in the day. You might ask yourself, what is a Pu-erh tea bundle? I'm gonna read this so I get it exactly correct. It's a duo of green and black Pu-erh teas designed to transform your gut health, support your metabolism, enhance your overall vitality.
Now you might be looking to do the same thing that I am. Maybe you're looking at gut health. Maybe you're looking at longevity. Maybe you're looking at convenience. Because I tell you what, this is convenient. This little sachet that they come in. I actually have these in my laptop case. And it's super easy to make these teas, especially if you get... bundle that comes with the offer.
It comes with a frother and a beaker that you can make this stuff in. You just pour in hot water. I guess you could make it with cold water, but don't do that. I don't know if tea is good like that. So again, gut health, longevity, convenience. It can help you microbiome reset if that's what you're looking to do. It can help with your energy and mood. It can help with your immune support. And

Chapter 6: What are the sponsors featured in this episode?
Yeah.
You have to do special training. It's SF or a special flight rules area. And it's been well over a decade since I've done the it's an online course or it was when I did it. But it's additional rules when you're flying in this area. And it should make sense, because for those of you looking, you can see that I'm moving the cursor around something that is right over here. Guess what that is?
That's the Capitol building, the White House, the National Mall, and all of those things. This is not a fuck around and find out type of aviation area. The river that runs south to north is a waypoint that a lot of the aviation is required on. In this area, there are military bases with airports. There's civilian airports. It's all overlapping.
And you see this right here that says 100 with a line underneath it to surface. So Class Bravo Air, that means from the surface to 10,000 feet, there are multiple rings in Class Bravo Airport. So the first one that you're looking at, and the best way to think about this is it's a wedding cake that's upside down. So from the surface to 10,000, that is controlled airspace.
From 1,500 feet to 10,000, that is controlled airspace. So in that shelf, I guess if you wanted to fly at 1,000 feet, you would be outside of the controlled airspace of the towers. People are saying, how is this possible? How could this possibly happen? There is so much... Going on, there is, so the control tower, 119.1. ATIS is your weather, 132.65. What do we got here?
We got altitude, we got the length of the runway. Notice up here, there's another frequency, 143.1. And I actually am going to turn helicopter back on because I think in this particular instance, there is a helicopter frequency in addition. I don't know if it's going to change the overlay. I don't want to add a waypoint to this.
And I'm sorry for people who are like, this is the most boring shit ever. I don't see how this could happen. I've seen comments like, well, this is something that the government wanted to happen, this, that, or the other.
I've seen conspiracies abound.
A little bit, right? And they don't understand how it could happen. So again, from my understanding, both of them went into the water. And I don't know which direction they were landing. So it probably, okay, so this is the helicopter chart that's starting to overlay itself in and load. Oh, man. So think about this, too. This is an electronic version. A helicopter pilot might have this version up.

Chapter 7: How does generational difference influence perspectives?
Yeah, essentially it was what it was.
You were behind, there was like a little vertical post. You're behind there, phones underneath. Yeah. And I watched you. You would hear people laughing and you'd be down here and be a little bit of laughter. You'd be like, ha ha ha.
That is not true. I was listening to every word he said. It's my truth. Well, your truth is vastly different from objective truth.
Sometimes. Any other closing advice for this guy other than stay the course, which is probably the roughest piece of advice, but also probably the most accurate?
Just, I don't know. It's tough, man. It's difficult. Just let it go. Focus on the shit you like to do.
What do guys your age, mid-20s, talk about if they haven't found a girlfriend and if they haven't really considered marriage? Is it something that you guys talk about? Mm-hmm. What are the, what are the general thoughts?
Uh, the general thought is what is like, what is, what the fuck is going on right now?
Is there still a value in the concept and idea of marriage people your age? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
For me, um, for a lot of my friends. Okay. Yeah. A couple of them are like, no, I do not want to get married. Like, do you have any idea why they say that? Do they come from a home that maybe involved divorce or personal experience? Yeah. And, um, The one friend said to me, and I think this is him just being jaded because he did come from a divorce. Yeah.
