Just after first light they heard the terrorists praying for the first time all night. Christian Craighead told the Kenyans to get ready, then started singing the Hail Mary. On "amen," four grenades came down the stairs. Part 3 of 3 — the finale. The seventh-floor standoff through the night: the iPhone charger, the fire alarm that ran for fifteen hours, the minibars. Then Iraq, 2003 — three men walking into an armoured division with no air support, the whisper behind the berm, a black dog on a

He's inside 14 Riverside Drive alone. His own side is planning his court-martial. Nobody sends him maps, mug shots, or orders — and 150 people are hiding in a hair salon. Part 2 of 3. Christian Craighead — former SAS — walks through the DusitD2 assault door by door: the kitchen full of wounded, the hair salon, the 12-story car park, the police commissioner who asked "Can you lead my men?", and the phone call that put him on the line with the President of Kenya. It ends on the sixth floor of the

In January 2019, an SAS operator walked alone into a terrorist attack on the DusitD2 hotel complex in Nairobi. More than 700 people got out alive. Then his name started disappearing from the coverage. This is the first time Christian Craighead has told his story. His book, One Man In, was blocked in the UK. He fought it through the courts, lost, was denied appeal, and is publishing in America anyway. Part 1 of 3. This episode covers the morning of January 15th, the phone call, the drive, and t

Endurance is not a pace. It's not a zone. It's not a finish line. Endurance is how long you can keep going, and almost nothing we call endurance training is training that. Three of us rode 575 miles in 24 hours on an assault bike. I was back on the bike within days. One of us took months. One of us never rode again. Same event, same night, same wattage. The outcome had nothing to do with how fast we went. In this episode: Endurance is defined by duration, not intensity. The word comes from th

A peptide is legal or illegal depending on a court calendar, not a toxicology report. In September 2024 Eli Lilly sued the FDA over whether retatrutide contains 40 amino acids or 41 — a dispute worth seven extra years of market exclusivity, four extra years of protection from Medicare price negotiation, and the exclusive right to a molecule succeeding a $36.5 billion franchise. Nobody in that case argues the molecule is more dangerous one way or the other. Eight days before I recorded this, Li

Style is identity made visible. Most men dress in a way that communicates nothing, because they'd rather be invisible than be a liar with their appearance. Tanner Guzy is an appearance strategist — not a stylist — and the author of The Appearance of Power. In this conversation we take the same tools he uses on corporate boardroom uniforms and point them at gym culture, martial arts, aging, the culture war, and the gap between the man you are and the man you're becoming. We cover extegrity, the
