In this episode, Jimmy sips on a Yuengling while chatting with a multi-medal Invictus games champion United States Army Staff Sargent Michael Kacer. Kacer lost his left arm and sustained a TBI in a 2008 rocket attack in Afganistan. The duo discuss the origins and true purpose of the Invictus games. Kacer, who ran a marathon just eight months after his injury, then explains the importance of sports and physical therapy in his recovery journey. Kacer concludes with a heartfelt response regarding the reality of PTSD, a matter to which he has dedicated his life. Setting his sights on the Rio Paralympics, be sure to look for Kacer first as a stunt man in Suicide Squad coming to theaters August 5.
