About this episode
Send us a text Retired Chief PJ Yo-Yo Keaton shows up and immediately proves why half the community worships him and the other half is still trying to keep up. Peaches and Trent drag him through a career of combat rescues, dumb mistakes that almost killed him, leadership hot takes, and the kind of honesty that would vaporize a modern CBT. Yo-Yo breaks down why standards matter, why mediocrity is a disease, and why today’s Airmen desperately need a reality check. He also casually admits to running ultras fueled by Taco Bell and pocket pizza. This episode punches you in the throat and then tells you to hydrate.
