This week on Blanks, Beers & Bull$hit, we swap the arguments and outrageous takes for something a little rarer… gratitude. As the beers crack and the BS flows, the crew sits down to talk about what we’re truly thankful for. Family, friends, the reenacting community, the Bull$hit Brigade, unforgettable memories, and all the chaos that brought us here.

We’re also joined by a very special guest, Wool Blanket himself, David Lesniewski, bringing the laughs, the stories, and his own take on what he’s thankful for this season. Of course, it doesn’t stay wholesome for long. Expect questionable stories and just the right amount of nonsense as we reflect on the year and give thanks in the only way we know how, loud, honest, and slightly over-served.

Whether you’re escaping your in-laws, hiding in the garage, or pouring another drink before round two of Thanksgiving dinner, this episode is for you. Grab a drink. Grab a plate. And get grateful with the Bull$hit Brigade.

In this episode, we sit down with the one and only Honorable Colonel Corey Vaughn to talk about the stuff that actually matters… and a whole lot of stuff that probably doesn’t.

Corey walks us through his background in reenacting — from the early days of hitching rides to events, to becoming one of the hobby’s most respected (and most entertaining) personalities.

We dig into how he got into crafting and making things, from his first projects to the incredibly detailed, historically accurate pieces he’s known for today. Expect stories, surprises, and a few moments where we were actually speechless... we know it's hard to believe.

Corey also opens up about his personal connection to World War II, sharing family history, the moments that shaped his passion, and why this era means so much to him and to so many of us in the hobby.

Naturally, we mix in the usual Bull$hit Brigade chaos: questionable jokes, questionable facts, and the usual amount of beer-fueled wisdom.

Grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy our first-ever episode with Corey Vaughn, an awesome creator, a passionate historian and a man who survived the Bull$hit.

This week on Blanks, Beers, & Bull$hit, the Bull$hit Brigade welcomes guest host Devon Horne, stepping in for the mysteriously absent Austin. Together, we crack open a few cold ones and dive into what it means to be a Veteran in the WWII reenacting hobby and how the camaraderie, purpose, and shared chaos can help fill the gaps left after military life.

From finding brotherhood again to discussing what Vets bring to the table, this episode hits the heart of why so many vets keep coming back to the field and why it matters.

Beer. Stories. Brotherhood. Bull$hit.

It’s Story Time with the Bull$hit Brigade. A chaotic mix of hilarious, heartfelt, and slightly questionable stories from the hobby. From battlefield blunders to late-night campfire confessions, nothing (and no one) is safe.

We’re swapping the war paint for tall tales, revisiting our funniest moments, and maybe learning a thing or two along the way (but probably not).

Stick around for our Q&A segment, where we answer your burning questions about the reenacting world. Grab a beer, pull up a chair, and get ready for Story Time, Bull$hit Brigade style.

Ever looked at a photo from an event and thought, “Wait… do I really look like that?” Yeah, us too. In this episode, the Bull$hit Brigade dives deep into the phenomenon we’re calling reenactor dysmorphia, that weird blend of self-critique, comparison, and obsessive accuracy that makes you question your entire impression.

So crack open a cold one, grab your kit, and join the Brigade as we remind everyone, you probably look better than you think.

When the last blank is fired and the gear’s packed away, the reenacting season winds down, but for the Bull$hit Brigade, the off-season brings its own kind of stories. In this episode, Sean, Austin, and Dalton take a step back from the battlefield to talk about what happens when the events end.

The Bull$hit Brigade is back around the table (and the beers) with a topic every reenactor has faced: burnout. From too many events back-to-back to the pressure of always “doing it right,” Sean, Austin, and Dalton break down how to keep the hobby fun without losing your sanity. Along the way, they share war stories of their own near-burnout moments, debate whether taking a break really helps, and, of course, get sidetracked with a few laughs (and drinks).
