Ep. 33: "MC"
Australian Military

In this loud, unfiltered, and downright hysterical episode, the Liberty Risk crew sits down with “MC” - an Australian military veteran, close friend of Nick’s, and the first guest we’ve ever had to blur and rename for his own good. What follows is a cross-continental blast of military chaos, cultural whiplash, and stories that definitely shouldn’t be public… yet here they are.

MC shares his journey from being born in the Philippines to growing up in Australia, learning English on the fly, and eventually joining the Australian Army in the footsteps of his family. After injuries and career detours, he found his way into a specialized aviation role supporting elite units - including America’s own 160th SOAR Night Stalkers.

The crew trades wild airborne stories, shark-infested water jumps, Zodiac “duck drops,” and all the unpredictable madness that comes with multinational training. They also dive into the hilarious and sometimes ridiculous differences between Australian and American military culture: Anzac Day traditions, drinking rituals, cigars, patriotism, and why the Aussie term “mad cnt”* is somehow both vulgar and deeply endearing.

Beneath the humor, MC opens up about heritage, fatherhood, breaking generational cycles, and holding onto the memories and friendships that outlast every uniform.

This episode is pure Liberty Risk - raw stories, real heart, international banter, and military humor operating at maximum chaos.

Kevin Kent

MEET KEVIN

Chief Special Warfare Operator Kevin Kent (BUD/S Class 200) spent 21 years in the SEAL Teams, mostly with Team 5, completing 9 combat deployments across war zones while racking up a medal haul that’d make a North Korean general jealous - though he somehow dodged the Good Conduct Medal (red stripes say it all).

After retiring, Kevin pivoted to Hollywood as an actor, stuntman, weapons trainer, and military advisor on productions like Fast X, Netflix’s Obliterated, and Jack Ryan.

He founded K-Squared Productions, directed award-winning short films, and runs high-risk executive protection gigs when he's not behind a camera. Based in San Diego, he’s a proud husband of 22 years and father to three grown kids - still thriving in the chaos, just with better lighting.
