Our Longest Interview Ever—And One of Our Best

What happens when you sit down with a man who's lived a dozen different lives? You get the conversation of a lifetime.

Meet Ryan Pote—Navy helicopter pilot, special operations veteran, federal investigator, SCUBA instructor, oil company director, bartender, musician, and now thriller author. In this extended interview, we dive deep into the extraordinary experiences that shaped one of the most fascinating people we've ever had on the show.

From countering drug cartels in Central America as part of a joint special operations task force to serving as a search and rescue pilot for the US Navy Experimental Test Wing and NASA, from researching biofuels in Hawaii to investigating prototype military programs as a federal agent—Ryan's life reads like the thriller novels he now writes.

We also dive deep into his highly anticipated debut thriller Blood and Treasure (releasing July 22, 2025)—a mind-bending story that begins with the International Space Station going dark and blood floating in zero gravity, then crashes into the Indian Ocean where a treasure hunter discovers the sole survivor. It's a premise that could only come from someone who's actually been inside classified operations and understands how the unthinkable becomes reality.

This isn't just an author interview—it's a masterclass in adventure, service, and the kind of experiences most of us only read about in books. Ryan's journey from bartender to biofuel researcher to special operations pilot to federal investigator to novelist proves that truth really is stranger than fiction.
Don't miss this one. It's our longest interview to date, and there's a reason we kept the cameras rolling.

New York Times bestselling author and former special forces officer Brad Taylor ups the ante and goes all in talking his latest edge-of-your-seat Pike Logan thriller, DEAD MAN'S HAND.

DEAD MAN'S HAND:
To finally end the war between their nations, a rogue band of Ukranian partisans known as the Wolves teams up with members of Russia’s military intelligence to assassinate Vladimir Putin.

But Putin is aware of the traitors in his midst and assigns the loyal commander of the Russian National Guard to root them out. It’s a mission Victor Petrov is expected to undertake after he prevents Sweden from joining NATO—by assassinating a deputy minister of foreign affairs.

After receiving intelligence about the threat in Sweden, the United States sends Pike Logan to identify Petrov’s target—only for him to get caught in the crossfire between Putin’s agents and the Wolves. When the smoke clears, Pike makes no effort to stop the Wolves on their ultimate mission, believing it just, until he discovers that their operation has unimaginable consequences.

For Putin is preparing a devastating endgame: activating the Dead Man’s Hand nuclear response that will launch Russia’s missiles in the event of his death. . .

#1 New York Times bestselling author of the Gray Man series, Mark Greaney, unleashes Chaos on the Crew in his latest interview.

THE CHAOS AGENT:
Artificial intelligence leads to shockingly real danger for the Gray Man in this latest entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

A car accident in Japan.

A drowning in Seoul.

A home invasion in Boston.

Someone is killing the world’s leading experts on robotics and artificial intelligence. Is it a tech company trying to eliminate the competition or is it something even more sinister?

After all, artificial intelligence may be the deadliest battlefield gamechanger since the creation of gunpowder. The first nation to field weapons that can act at the speed of computer commands will rule the battlefield.

It’s an irresistible lure for most, but not for the Gray Man. His quest for a quiet life has led him to Central America where he and his lover, Zoya Zakharova, have assumed new identities. With a list of enemies that includes billionaires, terrorists, and governments, they need to keep a low profile, but the world’s deadliest assassin can’t expect to hide out forever.

Eventually, they’re tracked down and offered a job by an old acquaintance of Zoya’s. He needs their help extracting a Russian scientist who is on the kill list. They reject the offer, but just being seen with him is enough to put assassins on their trail.

Now, they’re back on the run, but no matter which way they turn, it's clear that whoever's tracking them is always going to be one step ahead. Since flight’s no longer possible, fight is the only option left, and no one fights dirtier than the Gray Man.

In this episode, the Crew shares a drink with one of their favorite authors, Gregg Hurwitz, as they discuss his latest Orphan X thriller, "LONE WOLF."

About Lone Wolf:
Once a black book government assassin known as Orphan X, Evan Smoak left the program, went deep underground, and reinvented himself as someone who will go anywhere, and risk everything to help the truly desperate who have nowhere else to turn. Since then, Evan has fought international crime syndicates and drug cartels, faced down the most powerful people in the world and even brought down a President. Struggling with an unexpected personal crisis, Evan goes back to the very basics of his mission - and this time, the truly desperate is a little girl who wants him to find her missing dog.

Not his usual mission, and not one Evan embraces with enthusiasm, but this unlikely, tiny job quickly explodes into his biggest mission yet. One that finds him battered between twisted AI technocrat billionaires, a mysterious female assassin who seems a mirror of himself, and personal stakes so gut-wrenching he can scarcely make sense of them.

Evan's mission pushes him to his limit - he must find and take down the assassin known only as the Wolf, before she succeeds in completing her mission and killing the people who can identify her - a teenaged daughter of her last target, and Evan himself. Matched skill for skill, instinct for instinct, Evan must outwit an opponent who will literally stop at nothing if he is to survive.

What critics are saying:
“Crisp character delineation and a propulsive, forward-moving plot should keep new readers engaged. Another crackling caper for the solitary Orphan X.” --Kirkus Reviews

"The most fascinating and compelling Orphan X novel to date. Think Jason Bourne on steroids... Lone Wolf is one of the year's first must-read thrillers."
--The Real Book Spy
