First of all thank you Zack it truly helps...I'm a 60 year old veteran ...

I don't give a shit about your adds. Do what you need to and keep these podcasts coming. I appreciate you and all your guests. Thank you and keep it up!
Another great example of a true warrior fighting through adversity and coming through the other side. Wishing you all the best in the future. God bless all these brave men that have sacrificed togive us the freedoms that we enjoy.
I'm glad I'm not the only veteran who got addicted to pills. And then I got hooked on herion for 6 years. At 32 I'm sober....addiction was so depressing and the hardest thing I have ever had to overcome
I went through it too first pills then heroin was such a bad cycle VA gives you oxy next thing you know your addicted for the next 8 years. but 33 now and sober.
Sweet Jesus, what a warrior! Thank you for sharing your story, for your service AND sacrifice. To go through what you've endured and come out to continue to grow and give is beyond admirable. I'm an avid listener and this has been the most impactful story I've heard. All that and an outstanding mustache to boot!! Thank you.
This is a incredible story I have ever heard of.What a amazing story and the hell he has went through.Sir I hope you completely beat it.Another thing is thank you for your outstanding service for our country
This was an insane interview. Zach's a bad-ass. Not so much because of the military stuff, but because of how he overcame all the physical trials. It speaks to great strength of character.
Zach and Mike thanks for your service, you are greatly appreciated and hope you guys know that. Zach what a story, I am going through some medical issues and hearing your story really gives me some more strength to carry on. All of your life stories that guys tell really help a lot of people and is greatly appreciated by thousands and even though we don’t personally know you guys, it really does affect people in a positive way. Mike keep on producing a great show and great work!!
Mint episode. An incredible story Zach, thank you for sharing. All the very best going forward to you. Another good one Mike, still the best podcast format going around.
When Zack mentioned that he had a dead guy's calf as his bicep, I was waiting for a classic Mike one liner like "Well I hope the guy didn't skip leg day" 🤣 Awesome episode 👏👏👏
I've been a subscriber since you interviewed Kevin Owens several years ago. As usual, this was a very high quality interview and a truly fantastic story.
Great interview! There’s not a lot of stories that give me that feeling I get from a good movie. A few times in this interview it gave me those same chills
This is a testament to how much God loves us! He wants us to succeed to to love each other encourage and care for one another God is so amazing I thank him for saving another good man!
Hey Zach, former Marine here from Chaska. Had no idea you were in the relative area. Wife (from RI)gives me shit all the time about being from here and how the people are extraordinarily secular. It's absolutely true. Had it been sooner in life, we absolutely woulda had you guys in for dinner and a fire. Hope all is well.
Mike, like Zach I too had to change my mind on CBD. In 2016, i was having bad muscle spasms. Nothing was working great. Magnesium helped but wasn't great. I told doctor i didn't like how marijuana made me feel. Doctor then told me I might want to look into CBD. That it wouldn't make you high. I now use the lotion and drops, and have never looked back since. I believe it should be considered a medication and legal in all 50 states!
Always enjoy your podcasts 💯🍻 The operators are Priceless, there “ASK” is sometimes insane yet they accomplish Tasks that are at times sub - Human 😎 I love to grab a beer & listen to the insanity as they tell what they can .. You & Them are the reasons why our COUNTRY is a ELITE , & a place I ❤️ to call home & will defend till the END ! Thank you …. ALL 🙏🏻
I had a seizure a few years ago. I was immediately put on kepra. It turned me into a complete asshole. I was supposed to stay on it for a year or something (can't really remember) but after about six weeks I was like "I'm done with this shit." Fortunately, all I had to do was quit drinking. Go figure. I will say though, alcohol ain't no joke. I'm glad that seizure was enough to wake me up to what I had become. Also, it is extremely frustrating when you're telling the doctor there is something very wrong and they disregard it because you're not acting the way *they* think you should act for a particular injury or ailment.
Pharmaceuticals almost took my life from me before the age of 18. I had never taken or tried any other substance before, or even had a single sip of alcohol. I was anti drug and anti alcohol. My parents put me on pill after pill to seemingly try to give me an advantage in school beyond my already high-performing straight A’s and a few B’s here and there. The doctors never documented a single one of my monthly complaints about negative side effects, and instead their identical response month after month was word-for-word “Hmm, that’s not normal. Maybe you just need a higher dose.” My parents would force me to take them, and then force me to take other pills to combat the side effects of the first ones. They would tell me about every single pill; “You OWE it to us to try this pill.” “You OWE it to us to try everything that we ask you to try.” “The doctors would never give you anything that could hurt you. The doctors are only here to help you.” I went from being a nearly straight-A student with zero disciplinary problems to failing many of my classes, getting in one instance of ridiculous and blown way out of proportion trouble, getting sent to a juvenile detention school with zero prior disciplinary background, and ultimately having to drop out of highschool at the end of my sophomore year. Those devil pills and their negative side effects destroyed the entire trajectory of my young life. May god enact proper judgment upon those responsible for this type of evil, especially when forced upon children and young unsuspecting adults.
This man is a medical marvel. I believe his military training has helped him survive ALL of his health/problems. What a WARRIOR. I love this guy. What an American HERO. Fuck all of you who disagree. May God Bless America!
RE Comments at the end of the podcast: The possibility of corruption in the US isn't a sufficient reason to refuse to defend the Nation's interests. Ukraine winning the war is in the interests of the U.S.A., Russia winning is bloody not.
I haven't watched a podcast since u have only read two chapters of ur book...what was I thinking I thought maybe u might be a man of ur word but that went out the window with a quickness
I would hate to have to be around someone that bitch and complain about ads on free content that allows you to fast forward through the ads to get to that free content because if they bitch about something like that then I can imagine that they do that about anything and everything all day every day. Bless your miserable little hearts.
Thank you so much for sharing such amazing stories! I too went through the whole flesh eating bacteria Situation but in my. The pain something. I couldn't describe and when I finally broke down to take the pain inymore but 1st time in front of my wife and went into shock As well. Oh yeah that's stupid fucking pick line 🤬🤬🤬.. anyways thank you for putting yourself out there for us.
Dude what an amazing story. To rebound from 2 CVAs and those seizures and still be able to take care of business with a MO guy ( he’s lucky you didn’t dirt nap him). And the more I hear about the VA f-ing people over like you, disgusts me. Thanks for all you have and continue to do.
I never realized Minnesota of all places was so diverse to the point where a straight white male would feel uncomfortable lol. I guess I just always assumed it was a majority white population there. Republican. Tho my only context with Minnesota is hockey and it’s way up north.
GPS tracker the size of a "hair"?! I consider myself relatively technically proficient, but I am questioning whether that's possible. There is nothing on the market that is capable of GPS that size, even the power source would be 100x the size of a human hair. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he is lying, I just think he's either misremembering or its a gross exaggeration. Regardless I respect, and honor this man for his service to out nation.
Wow! Incredible story. The fact he is sitting there able to speak clearly and completely normal is amazing. What a warrior.
Without a doubt one of the most incredible interviews of personal strength and fortuitous recovery Ive ever listened to! Inspiring!

I remember hearing Styx for the first time in my uncle's AAR Cuda as a youth. Good memories.

Full spectrum 2500-5000mg CBD will definitely make you feel a little baked if you take enough of it
Bubs naturals has been helping me alot with my energy and just overall mind set and feeling bit better. Still struggle but it's helping!
Did you give him his belt buckle gift?

Are vaccines at all in the conversation regarding seizures?

Proper mustache.
That stache is DENSE
No flesh eating bacteria is strong enough to conquer that mustache
Thank you so much for sharing such amazing stories! I too went through the whole flesh eating bacteria Situation but in my. The pain something.

Man Florida's water is nasty. I'm from Oregon and I can say the water is horrible
wow, that guys been through the f@cking ringer. proves how tough he is
Merica 🇺🇲🦅
Fuck I love this podcast
Where's all the pictures and videos lol do they never send u the pictures?
In the beginning
Atta boy!
Dont know if he was talking about baghdadi or the iranian dude
My guess was either Iranian guy, or the old high ranking AQ guy in Kabul that they dropped a precision bangboom on.
I was thinking soleimani, the Iranian guy.
I wonder who the high value target is he’s referring to? It wasn’t al-Baghdadi was it? I’m assuming the agency he worked for was CIA
Run as many ads as you need to Mike. If I had a dog, I would be your customer.
Dude what an amazing story. To rebound from 2 CVAs and those seizures and still be able to take care of business with a MO guy ( he’s lucky you didn’t dirt nap him). And the more I hear about the VA f-ing people over like you, disgusts me. Thanks for all you have and continue to do.
🤙🏾🇺🇸🍄
Damn
Damn, Zach is one tough mofo.
I never realized Minnesota of all places was so diverse to the point where a straight white male would feel uncomfortable lol. I guess I just always assumed it was a majority white population there. Republican. Tho my only context with Minnesota is hockey and it’s way up north.

The point of it is that you’d never know it was there. Obviously I’m not going to talk about the specifics of these things
