Late Night History podcast returns with a brand new episode with former Navy SEAL and ice cream mad scientist Chris Fettes. We discuss what it was like bringing a fancy ice cream machine on combat deployments to make ice cream for his teammates in his hooch at various hot spots around the world including Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia.
We also dive into the intersection between ice cream and military history. Other highlights from this episode include how DEVGRU almost became public enemy #1 in New England after Hall of Fame QB Tom Brady was accidentally bit by a K9 following a hostage rescue training exercise at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts; the non-profit work Chris is involved in to help build orphanages for children impacted by the war in Ukraine; and Chris's Be Free Craft Ice Cream brand where he is providing a refreshing take to make ice cream cool again, notably honoring his fallen teammates with their own ice cream flavors. Make sure to follow Chris Fettes @BeFreeCraftIceCream on Instagram and support his new ice cream company. Also be on the lookout for an episode clip on YouTube and Instagram featuring my conversation with Chris as we discuss the Tom Brady story.
