Kennedy was taken to Top Gun school at Vance in Oklahoma and he did amazingly well He regaled us with stories about his experience and here you were, a complete novice, and you did amazingly well. A friend of mine’s uncle was Chuck Yeager. M&C: I was just amazed, though, at the fact that you did not pass out in the premiere episode. It’s the most jam-packed accomplishments Wikipedia page I’ve ever seen in my life, the things you’ve done. Indeed, but just reading your Wikipedia page is like, “What?” It’s like there’s so much. While they’re making jokes, I’m being serious. You let me fly this plane, both of us will die. I’m essentially a neanderthal and they look at me and they’re like, “Clearly, this is why we fly planes and you go on the ground and they call you ‘grunts.'” I was like, “Yeah.” It’s true, though. Yeah, they look at my hairy hands and my Cro-Magnan Man forehead. M&C: The Top Gun guys at Vance…Was there any kind of good-natured ribbing, the fact that you were Army and they were Air Force? I could scratch the surface of what the job is, but the things that they could do while they’re flying a few hundred miles an hour plummeting to the earth from 20,000 and 10,000 feet at nine Gs and I’m just trying not to let any fluid leak out of any of the orifices in my body, and they’re flying a fricken plane and chatting me up. I think I’m kind of a badass and I sure wasn’t there and it’s just humiliating because they’re better at everything in degrees that I can’t even comprehend. Tim: I mean, let’s just keep talking about things that are humiliating, so this is just another one. You’re fit, but how did you feel around those guys that go to nine-plus Gs…Talk about that. You’ve done a lot, not only in the military but in your MMA career. M&C: You got to Vance in Oklahoma and those guys. If that’s an accomplishment, then I concur, April, I did okay. Tim: The only things I did okay at were not being able to get out of a plane that was on fire, so that was good, and counting the horizons and not throwing up. He was impressed and so was I, and being that you were a complete novice, you did okay. The bonding might have been him just trying to make sure I didn’t kill us both. It’s all in one body and then in the backseat is this hairy-handed, essentially an idiot fighter that is a couple of generations removed from a tree. Then he has the fine motor skills of … I couldn’t even pick a sport in the Olympics that’s so precise, like a neurosurgeon. He has the maverick, dare-devil, trickster balls of Evil Knievel, but then he has, I don’t know, the Neil Armstrong intelligence and capability of a pilot. Tim: Well, I don’t know if you can actually say I really completed any steps because if he ever just gave me the stick, I would have crashed the plane and broken every bone in my body and probably been burnt alive. M&C: Talk about Elliott and how that whole episode began and how you bonded as he took you through the steps of being a test pilot. Tim, six Gs? Are you serious? Six Gs they got you up to? Monsters and Critics: We watched the premiere. Kennedy heads to all points on the globe to try jobs most people would run away from
