Justin Ellis Brooks | Grits and Eggs Podcast EP. 71

As a war vet of OEF in the Army I felt everything he said. Boots on sand at age 22 years old now 36 years old, wtf was I thinking. Shoutout to all my battle buddies man and those who didn’t make it make or didn’t come back whole ❤

So happy for you, JEB!

Yo I don’t really know the geography of LA vs Oakland, but there’s a group in Oakland called CRC (Community Ready Corp) who goes around cleaning up and celebrating the people. It’d be amazing if they joined forces with Justin

Talk to them

St. Louis stand up!

Twin did an EXCELLENT job! Truly in awe of a real-life hero, a dedicated serviceman going above and beyond to uplift underserved communities, all out of his own pocket. The heart, the hustle, the humanity… just incredible. I hope everyone walked away from this interview inspired, reminded that we all have the power to make a difference right where we are. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

So much love and respect for you, JEB ❤️ You’re dat FR

Purely inspirational!!!

As a a vet who speaks on MST, we need more drone operators to talk about it. We need more veterans to talk about the realities of war. thank you. I am glad you kept your center. go get that ch 35 and or GI bill money and use each and every last ounce of the benefits. You payed your price on the front end.

Great interview, Much respect to Justin for speaking freely and truthfully. Keep fighting the good fight My Brothas ✊🏿

Great pod - 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

Bro is the embodiment of "Why do today when I could keep doing tomorrow?" Like, like he said, he could crash out right now and know exactly how to do it, but he don't because he understand that what he's capable of.

That first year out of being in the Air Force felt like getting out of jail. Friends different and traffic back home was like "where did this come from" 😂😂😂

The Military likes young adults because they still don't have a concept of life and death, even at 18-19 years old...you're easy to mold still. But vets are some of the most critical of what our government does, because we seen it up close.

And the crazy thing about the weapon technology he's talking about....that stuff was developed years before they actually use it, so imagine what they working on NOW.

Ion kno yall…buddy might be sent to infiltrate

loved this episode!

I’m in La….I’m a nurse, I cook, I have resources & I would love to help! This is amazing…y’all niggas must be cutting onions in here because man 😅😩

this not cool

😂😂😂

This is so insightful, a proactive brother. He embodies demystifying helping our people, it’s not an ideology it’s action oriented approach and necessity that’s practical. Organizing

such a wonderful interview!!

I’m trying not to judge, but is “doing it for the check” rly a valid argument for murdering civilians/committing literal war crimes? I love this pod but some of the bomb jokes and stuff was a lot….

Take away, be obsessed.

He knows his shyt! He is telling my military story

Navy vet here. Just tuning in. He speaking FACTS! Been good since them nggaz showed up at my high school like predators looking for recruits but worth the trials and tribulations

STL 🫶🏾

Fellow army veteran living in Los Angeles. This brother speaks for so much of the experience of being black in the military, from being an average student to proximity to validation. I felt a lot of this. Thank you for having him and best of success to all of you.

STL in the building

prayers up to you and your family Deante!!

Imperialism is one heck of a drug.

Very insightful episode per usual 💫🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can't spell hustle without STL..... WE will continuously hustle and switchup.
