Podbit · 2 Bears, 1 Cave with Tom Segura & Bert Kreischer
Tom Segura breaks down the Netflix American Revolution documentary and the story of Daniel Boone — a man so capable he established the largest settlement in Kentucky, trained his daughter to be a marksman, and then watched her leave fabric trails while being kidnapped at 14 to help rescuers find her. Bert keeps confusing him with Davy Crockett.

The news that Por Osos is now on Publix shelves sends both hosts into a full Floridian reverie. Tom, a Midwesterner by upbringing, reflects on how you don't understand regional grocery loyalty until you move away — Kroger's in the Midwest, H-E-B in Texas, and Publix as the undisputed crown jewel of Florida. Bert launches into a meticulous defense of the Pub Sub marination technique: you eat half, let the rest sit in the fridge, then flip it so the bread gets properly wet on the bottom. [1] — Bert Kreischer "Por Osos vodka landing in Publix triggers a full Floridian nostalgia spiral about pub subs, boat days, and Bert taking his daughters into '…" 02:21 He recounts a perfect boat day in St. Pete where he took his daughters and Leanne out to an island in the Gulf, handed them High Noons and told them they were in 'international waters,' and ate pub subs in the sun. The segment closes with a sincere plug for Por Osos: buy one, get one free at Publix for the Fourth of July, and this is the 250th anniversary of America's founding.
Por Osos vodka landing in Publix triggers a full Floridian nostalgia spiral about pub subs, boat days, and Bert taking his daughters into 'international waters.' Every Florida identity marker gets hit — and the pub sub marination technique is non-negotiable.
Bert and Tom's vodka brand Por Osos landed in Publix stores in time for the Fourth of July with a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.
Factories that replaced coal engines with electric ones in the early 1900s got only 6% efficiency gains. Those that redesigned their entire factory around electricity got a 3x productivity improvement. Swapping AI tools into your existing structure will give you 6%. Rebuilding around AI will give you 10x.
Lebanese terrorists backed by Iran were holding American hostages throughout the Reagan presidency. Reagan had loudly campaigned against negotiating with terrorists — putting him in an impossible position that his team quietly decided to ignore.
During the Iran-Iraq War, the US openly supplied Iraq with weapons, training, and intelligence. At the same time, Oliver North was secretly funneling missiles to Iran. The US was playing both sides of a shooting war.
Oliver North traveled to Iran under the alias 'William P. Goode' with a fake passport. CIA Director William Casey allegedly gave him cyanide pills so he could kill himself rather than be tortured if captured. He returned safely and the deal moved forward.
The Pentagon sold missiles to the CIA for $3,700 each. The CIA sold them to Richard Secord at cost. Secord sold them to Iranian middleman Ghorbanifar for $10,000 each. Ghorbanifar charged Iran even more. The profit — including $3 million in interest in one Swiss account — was diverted directly to fund the Nicaraguan Contras.
America secretly transferred 2,000 missiles and missile parts to Iran in 8 shipments over more than a year. Only 3 of 7 hostages were released. Three more were taken. The net result was zero freed hostages and a full-blown constitutional scandal.
On October 5, 1986, a CIA Contra supply plane flew a weapons drop at 2,500 feet in broad daylight. A Sandinista soldier shot it down. The only survivor, Eugene Hasenfuss, had borrowed a parachute from his skydiving brother. He was captured, paraded in front of cameras, and told the Sandinistas everything he knew.
The CIA supply operation used a front company called Southern Air Transport, widely known to be a CIA cover. Crew members of the downed plane carried their Southern Air Transport employee IDs in their wallets. One also had a business card directly linking him to Oliver North's office in Washington.
When the scandal broke, Oliver North and his secretary Fawn Hall conducted what became known as a 'shredding party,' destroying a day's worth of documents. The full truth of Iran-Contra may never be known because of what was fed through that shredder.
