The Trunk Tales launches with a powerhouse guest: Nick Irving (Reaper33). Former U.S. Army Ranger sniper, bestselling author, and media personality, Nick sits down with hosts Andrew Lemacks (He’s Wrong She’s Right) and Grimzy (Grimzy News) to dive into life as a Ranger, carrying the “Reaper” legacy, hilarious moments with Tim Kennedy, moonshine stories, politics, and what it takes to reinvent yourself after combat.
Nick became one of the most recognized snipers of the Global War on Terror during his time in the 3rd Ranger Battalion. After leaving the military, he turned to writing (The Reaper, Way of the Reaper), TV, and building his own platform. This conversation blends real combat reflections with humor, grit, and the kind of banter you won’t hear anywhere else.
