The only support for the claim is the podcast host's own offhand remark ('we met in the military, 2005 ish'), which cannot corroborate itself. None of the provided sources addresses how or when the podcast hosts Rich and Joe met, and the Rich/Joe names in sources 3, 5, and 8 appear to refer to different people.
What was said
… We still have not found that out. Oh, man, do we dance around yet? Know, he's just kind of moving around. Every we just all said, "Grinder," and moved on. It seems reasonable.

Context. The claim faithfully reflects the passage, where the speaker says they met in the military around 2005, so no extraction addition is involved.[2]
Context. The Morgan Hill Times article describes a Rich and Joey who enlisted in the Marines in 1996 and 2004, which does not match the podcast hosts and does not address where or when they met.[3]
Context. The podcast listings show episodes titled 'How Rich Met Joe' but give no details of the meeting, so they only confirm the topic was discussed.[2][4]
Context. The 2005 academic-excellence list and the Rye veterans record name people called Rich or Joe, but they are unrelated to the podcast hosts and do not bear on the claim.[1][5]
