    Ep. 78 • Undercover ATF: Inside the Mongols Motorcycle Club | John "Hollywood" Carr | Part 1 🏴‍☠️
    Sep 17 2026
    🏴‍☠️ Want to hang LIVE with Kevin, Nick & Ryan? Join the Liberty Risk Patreon crew: https://www.patreon.com/cw/LibertyRisk John "Hollywood" Carr spent 34 years with the ATF, building a career around undercover operations, gang investigations, firearms cases, and some of the most dangerous corners of organized crime. That career eventually took him deep inside the outlaw motorcycle club world, where he became a fully patched member of the Mongols while working undercover. John grew up in Northern California, played football at UC Davis, and eventually stumbled into an ATF recruiting booth while working on his MBA. His biggest question was whether they required a polygraph. Thankfully they didn't. 😂 Next thing he knew, he had a badge, a gun, a government car, and a career that would put him inside some very strange situations over the next three decades, which he excelled at. In Part 1 of our conversation, John takes us from the early days of his ATF career through the realities of long-term undercover work and into the operation that put him inside the Mongols. We get into the culture of old-school federal law enforcement, the psychology of living under an assumed identity, working informants, and the strange combination of trust, brotherhood, and violence that exists inside the outlaw biker world. Along the way: • Old-school ATF and some highly questionable workplace behavior • Waco and how it changed the ATF • The four-lines-of-coke incident • A Hells Angels murder investigation • Infiltrating the Mongols Motorcycle Club • Getting patched without ever prospecting in early 40's • "Hells Angels in the lobby" random dudes in the wrong place at the wrong time • What happens when an undercover agent's real life and criminal identity start getting dangerously close There's a lot of talk about 🔫🔫, 💊❄️, bikers and undercover operations, but underneath all of it is something John keeps coming back to: the TEAM. Why people seek it out. Why some guys will risk everything to stay part of it. And what happens when that team disappears. After nearly two hours, we'd barely scratched the surface. So we split this one in half. Part 2 drops Tuesday. Pull up a stool, grab a drink and enjoy the show, CHEERS!! 🍻🍻🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ WANT TO GO DEEPER WITH LIBERTY RISK?

    Ep. 77.5 • Ye Olde Plank Part 2 • Frogmen, Brotherhood & Desert Storm 🔱🥃🌴 • Extortion 17 Special at Ye Olde Plank
    Sep 15 2026
    🏴‍☠️ Want to hang LIVE with Kevin, Nick & Ryan? Join the Liberty Risk Patreon crew: https://www.patreon.com/cw/LibertyRisk This is Part 2 of a two-episode special recorded during the Frogman Motorcycle Club's annual gathering honoring the men lost on Extortion 17. Part 2 from Ye Olde Plank Inn picks up right where we left off and this one goes from old-school SEAL debauchery to one hell of a Desert Storm story. Dave "Gut" Gutierrez and Billy Helmers join us for Frogman MC, old Team 5 and Plank stories, including Quonset hut keg parties, new-guy rituals, rockets that may or may not have worked as intended, bar fights, road rage and enough questionable decisions to remind everyone why this podcast is called Liberty Risk. But Gut also gets serious about sobriety, helping other team guys through addiction and life after the Teams, and why sometimes hearing "I've been there" from another guy who lived it hits differently. Then retired Navy Captain and former SEAL Team 5 XO/CO Tom Dietz sits down with us. Tom gets into his philosophy of leadership and "the gray area," including the incredible story of how he once had to take Gut's Trident while quietly fighting to give him a chance to save his career. Gut eventually became a SEAL Command Master Chief. Then we go back to Desert Storm. Tom walks us through a six-man SEAL deception mission off the coast of Kuwait involving minefields, C4, Zodiac boats, .50 cals, Mark 19s and thousands of Iraqi troops waiting onshore. Their job was to convince Saddam's forces that a massive Marine amphibious assault was coming. It worked. Iraq shifted thousands of troops toward the beach while coalition forces launched the real attack from the west. We also get into Tom's unexpected retirement, and the fulfillment he's gained from helped raise money for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation to provide education for the children of America's Special Operations community. Bar fights, brotherhood, bad decisions, leadership, redemption and one hell of a war story. Part 2 from Ye Olde Plank. Whiskey & War Crimes. 🥃🇺🇸 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ WANT TO GO DEEPER WITH LIBERTY RISK?

    🏴‍☠️ Want to hang LIVE with Kevin, Nick & Ryan? Join the Liberty Risk Patreon crew: https://www.patreon.com/cw/LibertyRisk This week, Liberty Risk got out of our studio & filmed on location at Ye Olde Plank Inn in Imperial Beach for Part 1 of a two-episode special recorded during the Frogman Motorcycle Club's annual gathering honoring the men lost on Extortion 17. We sat down with six amazing guests throughout the day, and what started as a day of remembrance turned into hours of completely unscripted conversations with Navy SEALs, cops, veterans, bikers, contractors, entrepreneurs, and enough old school Imperial Beach stories to explain why all these guys earned their liberty risk title. In Part 1, former Navy SEAL turned cop and helicopter pilot Elias Rodriguez joins Ryan to revisit the night they first met more than 20 years ago, when Elias responded to a house-party brawl involving SEALs, cops, a Dirty Harry sized revolver, and Joel Lambert screaming from a balcony. Elias also takes us inside some of the wildest moments of his 26-year law-enforcement career, from a police chase with $250,000 in cash flying across the freeway to an officer-down manhunt he'll never forget. Then Ye Olde Plank owners Marty and Big Tony sit down to condense decades of Big Navy, Frogman, contracting, bar-fight, and Imperial Beach history, including the legendary palm tree where unconscious patrons apparently went to recover. From Navy stories and bar fights to drug-money chases, questionable statute-of-limitations confessions, and some legendary characters from IB's past, this one goes everywhere. But underneath all the chaos is the reason everyone was there in the first place: remembering the 30 Americans lost aboard Extortion 17 on August 6, 2011. And we're not done. Part 2 drops Tuesday with the rest of our conversations from Ye Olde Plank, stay tuned! Settle in, grab a drink. This is Liberty Risk at Ye Olde Plank Inn.

    Ep. 76 • Freddie Joe Farnsworth • From Desert Storm to Hollywood: War Stories, Stunts & Movie Stars 🇺🇸🎥🍿
    Aug 31 2026
    🏴‍☠️ Want to hang LIVE with Kevin, Nick & Ryan? Join the Liberty Risk Patreon crew: https://www.patreon.com/cw/LibertyRisk This week on Liberty Risk:Brad Pitt. Band of Brothers. Desert Storm. Horse stunts. 13 Hours. World War Z. And somehow, Vietnam War dinosaurs. Freddie Joe Farnsworth has spent the last 30+ years making Hollywood's wars look real, and unlike most people on a movie set telling actors how to be soldiers, Freddie learned it the old-fashioned way. Before Hollywood, he was a Marine infantryman who fought in Desert Storm under James Mattis, crossed into Kuwait the day after his daughter was born, operated around the burning oil fields, took POWs, and somehow even crossed paths with General Norman Schwarzkopf. Then he got out of the Marines and stumbled into an entirely different kind of chaos. A background role on Starship Troopers put him in front of legendary military advisor Dale Dye, which eventually turned into actor training, horse wrangling, stunt work, stunt coordinating, second-unit directing, and a career spanning some of the biggest war movies and TV shows ever made. Freddie takes us behind the scenes of Band of Brothers, The Pacific, 13 Hours, World War Z, Spy Game, 12 Strong, Jack Ryan, Overlord, Deadwood, Captain America and more, with stories involving Brad Pitt, John Krasinski, Colin Farrell, Jared Leto, Martin Scorsese, Tony Scott and J.J. Abrams. We get into the tricks Hollywood uses to build massive battlefields, putting actors through real military-style boot camps, horse stunts gone sideways, fighting with productions over authenticity, and the tiny details veterans notice immediately when a movie gets them wrong. There are also some great lessons on leadership, stunt work, Hollywood egos, taking care of the lowest guy on the call sheet, and why Freddie treats a $3 million movie with the same intensity as a $300 million blockbuster. And then there's Primitive War, his latest project, which is essentially American troops fighting dinosaurs in Vietnam. Because apparently regular war movies weren't dangerous enough. Three-plus hours of Marine Corps stories, Hollywood insanity, stunt work, war movies, behind-the-scenes secrets, legendary actors and directors, and one hell of a career spent making fake combat look real. Happy Friday fellas, pull up a stool and hang with us! 🍻🏴‍☠️ 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ WANT TO GO DEEPER WITH LIBERTY RISK?

    Ep. 75 • Marc Oliver Gould • Backstage Chaos & The Wild Days of Warped Tour With Sk8er Boi 🎵🎙️🏴‍☠️
    Aug 26 2026
    🏴‍☠️ Want to hang LIVE with Kevin, Nick & Ryan? Join the Liberty Risk Patreon crew: https://www.patreon.com/cw/LibertyRisk This week on Liberty Risk: Marc Oliver Gould went from a San Diego skater kid to the middle of the early-2000s pop-punk explosion, touring the country, crossing paths with some of the biggest names in music, dating Avril Lavigne during the Sk8er Boi era... and then walking away from all of it. Marc joins us to tell the story of getting signed as a band straight out of high school, life on the Warped Tour, watching the record industry implode during the Napster era, and what it was like suddenly becoming known more as Avril Lavigne's boyfriend than for his own music. And naturally, things get weird. There's a run-in with Adam Levine and Maroon 5, a legendary musician allegedly trying to kiss him, Jared Leto being Jared Leto, an Australian tour involving a man fighting a tree because he thought it was a kangaroo, and a fight with Sum 41's lead singer over Paris Hilton's car that somehow keeps coming back throughout the episode. But Marc's story gets a lot more interesting after the music stops. He talks about deliberately walking away at the height of his career, building a new life in San Diego real estate, surviving three near-death experiences, raising daughters, entrepreneurship, failure, money, masculinity, and why he's spent most of his life operating without a Plan B. We also get into record deals and music royalties, 1031 exchanges, building apartments in North Park, launching Tiger's Blood beverage, and the mindset that took him from touring musician to serial entrepreneur. Rock & Roll stories, bad decisions, business, fatherhood, fame, failure, and Kenny G making things uncomfortable.

    Ep. 74.5 • Mark Mason Part 2 • The Wild West Years of the SEAL Teams: 30 years in the breach.
    Aug 24 2026
    A murder case that's suddenly back in the spotlight. A man calling himself a "Navy SEAL" who never earned his Trident. An Afghan donkey that wanted absolutely nothing to do with the war. And somehow, we still had hours of stories and life lessons with Mark Mason left. Part 2 picks up right where we left off. Early in this second half, we get into the Dusty Turner case, which has been getting renewed attention since Turner's release from prison and appearances on several podcasts. But Mark has a perspective on the story that's a little different: he personally knew Turner and Brown from BUD/S (2 guys on the east coast who ⚰️ a 23 year old girl at a bar and then hid her body). Mark tells the story of encountering both men during training, the immediate gut feeling he had about them, and what guys who had previously trained alongside them were already saying at the time. The crew also explain an important distinction between graduating BUD/S, being assigned to a Team during the old probationary period, and actually earning the Trident. From there, because this is still a Mark Mason episode, we're right back off the rails. Mark takes us deeper into his 27 years in the Teams, with more deployments, ridiculous personalities, battlefield improvisation, overloaded desert vehicles, equipment drops that go spectacularly wrong, bureaucracy getting worked around in increasingly creative ways, and an Afghan pack donkey that repeatedly decides it has better things to do than participate in the war. There are stories about plans going sideways, making do with whatever you've got, and the kind of problem-solving that probably looks insane everywhere except a SEAL platoon halfway around the world. And somewhere between all the shit talking and side quests, Mark keeps sneaking decades' worth of experience into the conversation: leadership, recognizing character, trusting your people to think for themselves, learning from the guys who came before you, and what changes when you go from being one of the new guys to being responsible for everyone else in the room. It's another three hours of old-school SEAL stories, war stories, questionable solutions to legitimate problems, great leadership lessons, and friends remembering an era when figuring it out yourself was apparently part of the job description. We thought Mark Mason was going to be one episode. Six hours later, we learned our lesson.

    Ep. 74 • Mark Mason Part 1 • The Wild West Years of the SEAL Teams: 30 years in the breach.
    Aug 19 2026

    Fake Shore Patrol. Prank & hazing warfare. Glitter bombs. An Afghan donkey with absolutely no interest in the mission. And 30 years of Team Guy stories that only get better with time.

    We sat down with retired Navy SEAL Chief Warrant Officer Mark Mason for what was supposed to be one episode.

    Six hours of laughs and crazy stories later, we had to cut it in half.

    In Part 1, Mark takes us from growing up in a Pittsburgh steel town he describes as "The Sandlot directed by Tarantino" through BUD/S and into the wild world of the old-school SEAL Teams in the '90s.

    Elaborate prank wars. Impersonating Shore Patrol to spring a buddy from the cops. A stolen-lunch investigation where the criminals somehow became the investigators. The Brady Bunch used as an alibi. Tuna juice deployed as a weapon. Glitter-based psychological warfare. And one particularly impressive revenge package that spent six weeks traveling home from Guam.

    Eventually we make our way to Iraq and Afghanistan, where the stories somehow don't get any more normal.

    There are overloaded desert patrol vehicles, exploding equipment drops, an unfortunate misunderstanding involving the code word "avalanche," questionable battlefield improvisation, bureaucracy getting worked around in increasingly creative ways, and an Afghan pack donkey that repeatedly decided it had better things to do.

    Somewhere between all the shit talking and side quests, Mark also drops decades' worth of genuinely great lessons about leadership, ownership, dealing with problem people, letting your guys think for themselves, and why sometimes the best leaders aren't the ones who look the best on paper.

    It's three hours of old-school SEAL stories, war stories, pranks, terrible ideas, great leadership lessons, and friends remembering an era when apparently nobody was supervising anybody.

    And somehow...

    this is only Part 1.

    Part 2 will be released on Monday.

    Ep. 73 • Michelle "Bombshell" McGee • Behind The Scenes of Tabloid Fame, Celebrity Chaos, & Navy SEAL Bars
    Aug 13 2026
    Howard Stern. Navy SEALs. Mobsters. Celebrity boxing. A garbage bag full of cash. One of the biggest tabloid scandals of the 2000s. And somehow...a master's degree in engineering. This week, Michelle "Bombshell" McGee sits down with the Liberty Risk crew for one of those conversations that goes completely off the rails in the best possible way. Michelle became internationally infamous after being thrown into the middle of the Jesse James and Sandra Bullock scandal, but that's only one chapter of a life that's considerably crazier than the headlines. She takes us behind the scenes of her infamous Howard Stern appearance, partying with Charlie Sheen during the Tiger's Blood era, dating Dave Navarro, fighting Octomom and Amy Fisher in celebrity boxing, and getting flown to a mob-connected Long Island strip club where she walked out carrying a garbage bag full of cash. And that's before we get to the really weird 💩. Michelle spent years in San Diego's strip club scene while raising a son and eventually doing engineering homework between shifts. Today she has a master's in controls engineering, works in renewable energy, and still occasionally bartends at Danny's - the legendary Coronado watering hole that's been part of Navy SEAL culture for decades. That opens another rabbit hole entirely: fallen SEALs, the mysterious caller who's been haunting Danny's phone line for decades, old-school bar culture around the world, deployment strip clubs, Hollywood stunt work, Tom Cruise, Sturgis, psychedelics, bizarre fetishes, ghosts, and enough old San Diego lore to fill another episode. It's tastefully raunchy, nostalgic, occasionally serious, and completely unfiltered. Michelle McGee has lived about six different lives. We somehow tried to fit them into one episode. Thanks for hanging with us, pull up a stool and buckle up, this is Liberty Risk. 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ If you're wanting to dive deeper into Liberty Risk lore & hang LIVE with the hosts and other cool people, check out our Patreon Community!
