About this listen

 When a Coast Guard veteran turned stay-at-home dad and a seasoned defense-industry intelligence expert sit down for a conversation, things are bound to get interesting. Operation Common Sense was born when Casey and Matt met in late 2024 and discovered a shared passion for honest, unfiltered conversations about life, leadership, and the world we live in. From Matt’s years overseas navigating high-stakes intelligence work to Casey’s experiences balancing fatherhood, service, and entrepreneurship, their contrasting paths collide in thought-provoking—and often hilarious—ways. Together, they tackle politics, current events, and everything in between with grounded perspective, sharp humor, and plenty of real-world common sense. Some stories will make you laugh, others might shock you—but all will make you think. Buckle up and get ready for Operation Common Sense — where life experience meets unfiltered conversation.

    Bite Work, Brotherhood, and Brutal Truths
    Jan 13 2026
    In this episode of Operation Common Sense, Rob and Simon—former Marines turned professional K9 trainers—join the show for a raw, wide-ranging conversation. The discussion kicks off with an inside look at working dogs, personal protection training, and bite work, including what really happens when a K9 flips the switch from training to real-world engagement. The conversation expands into military service, life after the Marines, and the brotherhood that carries over into civilian careers. As always, the episode moves into unfiltered takes on current events, government waste, global power dynamics, and conspiracy culture, including skepticism around institutions and official narratives. Honest, unscripted, and unapologetic, this episode delivers the real talk Operation Common Sense is known for.

  • The Vegas Shooting: Coincidence, Conspiracy, or Something Else?

    The Vegas Shooting: Coincidence, Conspiracy, or Something Else?
    Dec 16 2025
    Matt and Casey take a deeper look at the Las Vegas shooting and the questions that still remain years later. From unexplained details and conflicting timelines to motives that don’t quite add up, this episode of the Operation Common Sense Podcast explores what’s known, what’s missing, and why critical thinking still matters. This isn’t about pushing narratives or chasing shock value. It’s about slowing down, examining facts, and applying logic where official explanations leave gaps. Skepticism isn’t denial. It’s part of understanding the full picture.
