Join in on this amazing episode with Jill Marcos.

What happens when a skinny, out-of-shape, closeted gay kid from New Orleans hears “summer” and “camp” and ends up enlisting in the Marine Corps—right when being gay was banned in the military? In 1979, Greg Cope White followed his straight best friend to Parris Island boot camp, cheated the physical to get in, and lied on his papers to serve. What followed was a wild, raw, hilarious, and heartfelt transformation to Devil Dog Marine.

Greg Cope White joins The Devil Doc Talk Show to share the real story behind his bestselling memoir The Pink Marine—a coming-of-age tale of grit, brotherhood, identity, and survival in the most macho environment imaginable. We dive into the brutal realities of recruit training, the fear of being found out, the unbreakable bonds forged under fire, and how those experiences shaped his life as a veteran, writer, and producer.

Now adapted into the Netflix series Boots (with Greg as writer and executive producer), this conversation is equal parts funny, moving, and unfiltered. Whether you’re a Marine, a vet, an ally, or just love a damn good underdog story, you won’t want to miss Greg’s take on courage coming in every color—even pink.

Semper Fi, grab your coffee (or whatever fuels your watch), and hit play. Oorah!

In a deeply personal episode, host Joey "Devil Doc Talk" Martinez sits down with guest Dan Litzenberger to hear his powerful origin story. Inspired to join the Army after 9/11, Dan recounts how he found his identity as an elite Ranger sniper, completing six rigorous combat deployments.
But when a medical retirement for an autoimmune disorder abruptly ended his career and his dream of joining Delta Force, he lost his sense of purpose. Despite finding external success training elite teams at his Bull Hill Ranch, Dan candidly shares his internal battle with addiction, depression, and spiraling behavior.
This episode explores the spiritual turning point that made Dan realize he was called to build a healing ranch, not a marksmanship ranch. Dan walks listeners through the diverse, unconventional, and spiritual modalities—from jiu-jitsu with the We Defy Foundation and work with a shaman in Maui, to building a foundational relationship with Christ—that helped him find true peace and fulfillment.
Hear the full, honest story of how Dan rebuilt his life and channeled that healing into a new mission: The Ranch Foundation, dedicated to uniting veteran mental health organizations under one banner. #love #god #jesus #army #navy #marines #airforce #coastguard #spaceforce #faith #youtube
