    For Al and TC
    I have listened to all but 3 episodes and enjoy your wide ranging discussions, but I really don’t understand one thing. Why do you promote Alex Jones? Can you imagine the last things those Sandy Hook children saw before they were murdered? I bet those parents think about it every day. Alex Jones found a way to make life worse for the parents of dead kindergartners. He is evil. For the rest of those parents’ lives they will likely never know a day without harassment or the dismissal of their suffering Jones tried to take away the last thing those children had; that they lived and were loved. Why is any of this something you want to be associated with?

    The future of education
    Would love to hear y’all’s take on the state of education today especially in Texas. What could teachers and administrators do differently to have kept you from a place like excel? Are we on the path to school privatization?

    Really dig the show, but…
    …Dude, TC - how can YOU not know (or being working towards being an authority on…in a research type way…) of Jimmy Savile? I mean this is the embodiment of every rabbit hole you seek to explore. It’s got media corruption, it’s got private school and charity corruption, LE coverups, lots of victims being blamed, tons of billionaire smugness AND still has tentacles (including false flags!!!) into ongoing events today!! Keep up the good work and if you ever want to talk Jimmy S (seriously, it’s like the REAL Franklin Savings and Loan deal) let me know! Update: I’m “that guy” that get referenced today on the show. Keeps getting better, thanks guys and c’mon do Eyes Wide Shut!

    Too Many Tangents
    I read about this podcast and was excited to listen to them talk about an issue close to me. I had a hard time staying interested after the first two episodes where they were either going off on tangents that did not further the story or talking over each other.

    Our Father
    I thought I had forgotten the Our Father Prayer and the second you mentioned us having to memorize it I found myself quoting it verbatim like it was ingrained permanently in my mind.

    Love it!
    I went to military school for one year, nuts!! I was part of the JuCo, but there was a 9-12 high school as well. Not as hard core, but crazy environment for a 14-18 year olds.

    Depending on the state
    U can do meth and coke and drive a large box truck for “graff metallic” but if you’re a “college boy” or don’t sit with your race during the lunch break.... I was fired with no explanation

    So cathartic
    I have buried these memories for the last 20 years and it has been almost therapeutic to listen to you guys chit chat about it and know that it was real, I am not alone, and we can rise above. TK, I think we just missed each other, Alex, it was a blast from the past to hear your voice. I really enjoyed this first episode. TK, I really resonate with the thumbs up parental response and not having the heart to break it to them how damaging this place was. Sounds like the guys had a much more fun and crazy experience than the boys. I have no recollection of gambling or lending tokens. Maybe we weren’t as creative? Or more afraid of getting in trouble? Keep up the good work, boys! Can’t wait to hear future interviews. Hopefully the girls that succeeded in the great escape can tell their story 🤞🏻.
