Dude, this podcast has headed off so many of my rookie mistakes BEFORE I’ve made them
I’m going to send you guys an email entitled “Ten things I hate about TGDP (the backhanded compliment edition)”. First off, to listeners, know this, ego is your enemy and it could kill you. So if this podcast offends your ego, because like me, you’ve done some of the things Jamesey and Brando make fun of, well there is a reason, A REAL LIFE REASON the grey beards (did you read that Brando?) are pointing that out. They use dark, crass, sometimes rough language and humor to make this point… This is much like how higher risk, technical, military professionals interact. If you don’t have a thick skin, strike that… …thick wetsuit, and take yourself (and the mistakes you and others make) too seriously, and get offended by someone describing mistakes… or maybe get offended easily… this isn’t for you. However, sense of humor equals intelligence. I’m not knew to technical things where mistakes can kill me, but I am new to scuba and I can tell you the wisdom in TGDP is SOLID, the sarcasm is thick and rich and equal opportunity and fair and refreshingly politically incorrect. Ego is the enemy and it can get you killed and this podcast will inflame injuries to ego, ESPECIALLY if you don’t have competence…. Plus, the lessons learned in scuba come from terrible disasters, serious topics, but it would be super draining emotionally to listen to some of these stories, if there wasn’t dark humor to pull us back from the darkness… this is why combat veterans have dark humor. I so enjoy this podcast and learn so much from these guys! I hope I can dive with them one day, but I’ve got a lot of diving to do to get the fundamentals locked in, otherwise I’d be a bore of a dive buddy to these guys… THIS PODCAST HAS MADE ME A BETTER DIVER! End of story… RLTW! —-Grant

I never started listening to podcasts regularly until I was turned on to this one. They have fun, make fun, and are fun. I look forward to it every week. I like to listen to it in the mornings on Friday when it comes out except when Brando does the editing then sometimes Saturday. They cover a...Read full review »
