What do ultra-marathons, whale encounters, biblical conspiracy theories, and ‘Over the Top’ have in common? They all collide in this wildly entertaining and deeply meaningful episode of Security Halt!
Join host Deny Caballero and special guest Liam Cogan as they take you on a thought-provoking and humorous journey through the world of veteran mental health, survival challenges, and endurance sports. This episode blends dark comedy and heartfelt advocacy as the duo recounts their preparation for an extreme endurance event designed to raise awareness for veteran suicide prevention.
From bear attacks and deep-sea diving fears to absurd Adult Swim nostalgia, celebrity satire, and the gritty truth of military service, the conversation is as unpredictable as it is powerful. They explore the emotional and physical toll veterans face, reflect on historic expeditions like Lewis and Clark and the Donner Party, and examine body image and masculinity within fitness culture.
Get ready for an unforgettable episode that reminds us all why community, storytelling, and resilience matter.
