Jake argues that level 3 and level 4 armor are overrated, then points to level 3 plus and SRT plates instead.

Jeff Morey opens the show with his usual energetic welcome and introduces Jake Dines. The interview centers on Technicon Armament, the company Jake founded and runs, and Morey points to his own level three plus bulletproof vest as proof that he trusts the products. The mood is immediate. After a quick detour through tributes to Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne, the episode settles into a talk about military service, manufacturing, and where tactical gear innovations are headed next. Night vision becomes the main thread. Morey keeps coming back to it as a serious game changer for an SHTF scenario, arguing that people who are holed up in their homes or bunkers, or out scavenging at night, will want every advantage they can get. Jake does not oversell it. He says he is not trying to be the best night vision company on the market; he is trying to figure out creative sourcing and in-house manufacturing that can get workable products to people at a reasonable price. That practical angle matters. The two of them lean into the idea that readiness is not abstract, and Morey spells out the order that guides him: God, then family, then country, with any hard choice measured against that frame. The talk stays blunt. Instead of polished corporate language, Jake and Morey keep circling back to affordability, usefulness, and the reality that a lot of listeners want gear that actually works when things go sideways. The interview keeps moving. Morey reacts like a buyer as much as a host, asking questions, agreeing out loud, and letting the conversation drift just enough to keep the larger worldview in view. The ending is a sales pitch. Morey closes by recommending Technicon gear, telling listeners to browse the website, and reminding them to follow his show across social channels and platforms. The tone stays unsentimental. Even with the personal asides and promotional beats, the episode keeps returning to the same point: preparedness is about practical tools, disciplined thinking, and a willingness to look at the dark side of the world without blinking. It is not subtle, and that is exactly why the interview will land for listeners who like their prepper content direct, faith inflected, and grounded in gear they can picture using.
