MacBroz Show 73 – Brotherhood, Builds & Big Goals for 2026

Episode 73 kicks off our first show of 2026—and it starts where it all began. Josh and Darius reflect on nearly 22 years of friendship, going all the way back to being initiated together in TKE in 2004, and how that brotherhood still shapes who they are today.

Darius shares a fun historical nugget about Samuel Colt before diving into a big personal milestone: starting the year with his first USPSA competition and how competition shooting fits into his goals for 2026. He also breaks down his competition mindset, his rig setup, and what’s helped him get fast and efficient out of the holster.

Josh talks gear—covering Gideon Optics on his new DERYA TM22 and his BRN-180, plus what’s coming next with upcoming build series. The guys also tease a budget 2011 build planned for later this year, sharing early ideas and what they want to prove with it.

As always, the conversation is filled with laughs, real talk, and ideas about improving—not just as shooters, but as friends, husbands, fathers, and men heading into a new year focused on growth and consistency.

🎧 New year, same MacBroz energy.
