Tales from the Blue Crew - Afterhours

Author: China Shop Productions August 29, 2025 Duration: 1:44:42

In this follow-up submariner episode, Kyle welcomes back co-host Eric Mason and special guest Matt Larabee, a fellow USS Alaska submariner, for an unfiltered dive into life beneath the waves. Matt recounts his journey from a Southern California high school quarterback to volunteering for the Navy’s submarine force, spurred by a mix of youthful uncertainty and a friend’s boot camp video. From surviving the chaos of boot camp—including the infamous penicillin shot—to facing near-catastrophic incidents at sea, like a crewmember’s attempt to sabotage the USS Wyoming, Matt’s stories are raw, hilarious, and eye-opening. The trio explores the camaraderie of the smoke pit, the grind of 18-hour submarine days, and how the Navy’s structure fueled Matt’s post-service success, including earning two bachelor’s degrees and an MBA from Purdue. Packed with wild tales and hard-earned wisdom, this episode offers a rare glimpse into the submarine world and the lasting impact of service.
