About this episode

Marine Sgt. Mason Wells shares his journey from injury to recovery while discussing military life and various topics with the hosts.

Marine Sgt. Mason Wells joins Grant, Jeff, and Trey for episode 105. Mason went from a motorcycle crash that shattered his foot eight months before deployment — to running a 270 on the CFT two and a half months post-surgery — to cutting hair for 1,200 Marines aboard the USS San Diego on the 31st MEU. He talks about putting life on hold for a year, what he'd tell the deploying reservists of Quebec Battery, the military's food conspiracy theory, and why doing the right thing got everyone in trouble at the range. Plus: the flat earth 90-second pitch and retraction, the Masters and its decorum problem, potty training updates, leg extension machines, and business cards in 2026.
