In this episode of Service Announcement, two combat vets and one radio guy sit down, crack a few theories open, and ask the question we all wonder but rarely say out loud: “What if it’s true?”

Jack Zimmerman, Mike McLaughlin, and Jake Palmer take on a gritty mix of conspiracies—from aliens and JFK to Chronic Wasting Disease being a plot from the insurance companies to get rid of deer.

It’s raw, real, and full of laughs, gut checks, and what-the-hell moments.

No script. No agenda. Just real talk around real questions.

In this episode of Strength From Service, Michael Hintz shares the journey that started by watching his father serve—and eventually led him to follow that same path.

After high school, Michael joined the Army and found himself in the 82nd Airborne Division, deploying to Afghanistan twice. He later transitioned to the National Guard, where he continued to serve through recruiting and mentoring the next generation.

Now recently retired, Michael opens up about what service has meant to him, the lessons he’s carrying forward, and what life looks like after the uniform comes off.

It’s a story of legacy, leadership, and the next chapter.
