Episode 179 | Feb 10, 2026Melt Your Face Off Hot Wing Challenge | The Wild Kitchen x Silvercore
This was supposed to be a hot wing challenge.
It turned into something else.
We sat down to take on a melt your face off hot wing challenge and ended up in a real conversation about food, marriage, work, ambition, comfort, and the choices that shape a life over time.
The heat ramps up fast. Talking becomes harder. Filters disappear.
We talk about building something from scratch, walking away from paths that look good on paper, raising kids with intention, food as memory, food as connection, and why comfort has a way of slowly pulling people off course.
This episode also introduces The Wild Kitchen Podcast, a show about food, authors, hunters, foragers, and people who still know how to make things with their hands and feed the people they love.
Nothing here was planned. Nothing was cleaned up to make it tidy.
If you’re into honest conversations, good food, and doing things the hard way on purpose, this one will land.

Episode 178 | Jan 27, 2026Silvercore Podcast 178 | Chris Butler
What looks obvious on video often tells the least important part of the story.
Chris Butler has spent decades inside high consequence decision making, as a search and rescue technician, a police inspector, a force science instructor, and an expert witness called into hundreds of use of force cases. In this conversation, we dig into how stress bends perception, why traditional training often fails under pressure, and how video evidence can mislead investigators, leaders, and the public.
We explore the difference between performance and learning, why mistakes are essential for real skill acquisition, how decision making degrades under stress, and what trainers, coaches, and leaders across any field can learn from force science.
This episode is for anyone responsible for training others, leading teams, or forming opinions based on partial information.

Episode 177 | Jan 13, 2026Former British SBS Special Forces veteran and current professional bare knuckle boxer Sonny Smith breaks down how violence actually unfolds, why situational awareness matters more than fighting, and what real world self protection looks like outside of Hollywood.
Violence arrives fast and leaves a long shadow.
Former British SBS Special Forces veteran Sonny Smith returns to the Silvercore Podcast for a grounded conversation on awareness, personal safety, and the realities of physical confrontation.
Drawing from experience in UK Special Forces, executive protection, surveillance work, and professional bare knuckle boxing, Sonny talks through how people are selected as targets, how situations escalate, and where confidence drifts ahead of capability. We discuss awareness as a practiced discipline, avoidance as a measure of competence, and the responsibility that comes with force.
As the conversation deepens, it turns inward. We explore life after high risk work, mental health, identity, and the weight carried once the external danger fades. Sonny speaks openly about his personal experiences with ayahuasca as part of a broader reflection on trauma, accountability, and integration, without instruction or advocacy.
This episode is a clear-eyed look at judgment, restraint, and what survival demands, both in moments of danger and across a lifetime.
