With over 20 years of distinguished service, John 'Shrek' McPhee was responsible for countless solo missions all through out the war in Iraq and Afghanistan as an elite DELTA Force Operator. While many of those missions remain classified (as well they should), John was kind enough to share they story of one particular nail-biter with us - along with his unique insight as to why you should never fall asleep with the wrong crowd - in this exclusive clip from Episode #195 of the Mike Drop Podcast.

“You simple Jack’d him?” 😂😂😂😂
Legendary response
It's "jacked". Stop trying to be edgy.
@@slappy8941Stop attempting to correct peoples grammar on the internet. It’s cunty.
@@slappy8941 what are you talking about? Get off of Reddit or whatever you’re on all day dork 😂
Simple Jack is from Tropic Thunder. That’s why he spelled it that way.
@@slappy8941 You are wrong. It is a reference from the movie Tropic Thunder. It would be "Jack'd", stop being so uncultured.
The HVT that John was assigned to locate in this story was a Afghan named “Gul Ahmed” who according to HUMINT, was said to be living the ultra remote Agam Valley, just below Bin Ladens former sanctuary of Tora Bora.. The Year prior, the battle of Tora Bora was where Delta Forces A Squadron had Bin Laden dead to rights, and a bogus “seize fire” deal took place between the Afghan Northern Alliance and Bin Ladens crippled force. This BS deal bought Bin Laded time to escape through the back passages into Pakistan and evade Americas Hunters for 11 years.. Going back to Gul Ahmed, (the man that John was tasked to locate) was the last known human that aided Bin Ladens escape from Tora Bora and into Pakistan.. Delta Force wanted to capture him to paint the picture of how, when and (where) Bin Laden was. Gul Ahmed is said to be the 1st HVT captured in the GWOT, and Johns singleton mission to this day is said to be the longest one man recce ever conducted in history.
Absolutely fkn nuts
Gay
Awesome!!!! If you don't mind, where can I find out more. You also posted on another comment about Delta doing a solo recce to recover the fallen during BHD in 93, do you know where I can find out more about that as well?
@@ssgtomen621 “Kill Bin Laden” by Dalton Fury is where most people first read about “Shrek” before anyone even knew his real name. It’s the 1st and most accurate account of the battle of Tora Bora 2001 to date.
That other bit you’re asking about is just out of Mark Bowdens classic “Black Hawk Down”.. Delta operator Master Sergent John “Mace” Macejunas is the one your referring to.
Old books man. There are some gems out there.
@@Gman12959 Id be gay for Shrek too bud, don’t be shy about it 🙌🌈
I've trained with Shrek, best training ever, had lunch and Dinner and drinks with him.... Hes the absolute best, he's so straight forward and can break things down like no one else and make it understandable and relatable, and funny AF and a great story teller.
I think they all are. I keep the door cracked pretending to go to sleep and my husband and his friends make me laugh on their weekend nights off. Also, the opium tea…. I still make that… with kratom.
Imagining a Tier 1 operator pretending to be mentally handicapped is just freakin hilarious and awesome at the same time.
“Savage money” 😂😂😂
I have listened to Shrek is several interviews. he is a total stud and very happy he was on our side
🤡
Sniffles and crazy yarns 🤔❄️☃️
🎿 🏂 ⛷️ 😉 for sure
Spent 8 years in the 82nd 1st/504th and 5 years as a designated defensive marksman with Triple Canopy. I felt pretty good about my relatively short career until now😂😂
Red Devils hell yea 🤙🏼
Panda thinking about working for Triple Canopy but I heard it’s not the same but the opportunity seems cool would like to speak to you more.
1-504 C co here 🤘🏾
This is a dude! Thanks for having him on Mike.
This is THE dude fr
This guy is the best...
Having a drink telling war stories, coach is goofy as hell and I love our convos but dude’s a legend lol
Glad people like this share their stories
As a civilian, its painful seeing all these badasses tearing eachother down
RESPECT to all u guys
Hey that operator tier coffee ain't gonna shill itself😂
@@notyouraveragegoldenpotato that’s a great fuckin line 😂
“These guys just sound like hamanamana ahemalah hamalah”😂
The way he said " I think it was like 3 dollars American"😂😂
"Savage Money" is a great name for a rapper.
Dude go start a rap career don't let someone trademark that shit😂😂
@@hayesscott5881 I'm too old and too middle class British to be a rapper my friend, but if you want it you run with it!
@GodsCosmicBollock That makes it even better.
Not with AI, auto tune, chat GTP, all the other crap that's available now you're not! Do it@@GodsCosmicBollock
Savage X Money on the beat
Listening to this interview I half expected to see him wear a tie-dye T-shirt
Mike, we need a " You Just Got Simple Jacked" t-shirt.
What a legend. To stay upbeat and have the attitude to smile and laugh after seeing and doing incredible things is amazing. Best interview of it kind , Mike allowed him to talk and not Interupt like so many do. I was riveted to listen to this …. Incredible stuff. Really enjoyed it. Thank you guys. Blessings. D
Lmfao the way he calls them savages is hilarious, "Savage money or american? Yeahh i had savage money"
You can tell this dude wants to get back into some war shit so bad lol
The Sheriff of Baghdad!
That’s him yes.
🤡
I’m imagining Shrek doing John Matuszak doing Sloth at that checkpoint
You cruise with the Tooz and you can't lose. I remember that well.
I tell you what I absolutely just enjoy listening to John Shrek McPhee talk about his crazy escapades. Touche on the simple Jack comment that's freaking awesome. "You gave him the simple Jack" classic Sean Penn I am Sam no Oscar. RLTW 3/75
The ol Jallalabad hop lol
This is every kids dream playing guns in the woods with their friends! Too go on a solo Mission!
I like that they call it "Savage" money
He’s got balls that come in a dump truck man is Real . 🙏🏻👏👏👏
I believe it was a Logging truck
WOW….AMAZING!!! I’m so happy you’re home and safe. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Shrek got the drip going
In Afghanistan, in a house with janky people of a different culture and language, etc. Scary shit.
Hell yeah Mike!! Love me some Shrek!!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇲
This man is effortlessly funny 😂
My man. I am this guy.
I knew he was gonna pretend to be mute or deaf lmao
He has an Iraq story where that got him past a checkpoint. He had stolen a toyota truck on the way out after whatever he was doing, they wanted no part of him acting like that.
That John, patmac, stumph (to lighten the mood) DJ Shipley, and all the ammo they want … and there are no more problems ……….. with anyone
SOB is a Baller!
"Savage money!" 🤣🤣🤣
He acts like he is all Iced Up. I have seen a few Interviews of This Bad Ass Cat. But I have never seen him like this.
I thought I was the only one. I scrolled till I found a similar comment
Yeah he’s definitely on something
I was thinking it's how he relaxes enough to talk about this stuff!
Naw that just how he is. His old booze and news livestreams on FB were classics
How did they not take that video camera at those checkpoints?😂
Wish he told us his hiding spot
Prison pocket.
He said he had a Kent cigarette bag that locals carried. He fit in perfectly.
He said they shook everyone down at every checkpoint. But also said he made the entire trip w a valuable camera and a wad of cash. And potentially an American ID. wtf????
Fake@@penitentthief434
A day at the market. Amazing. Sounds like the name of a chapter in a book
I didn't know they had a Chuck Norris in real life in Delta Force.. that's badass
When chuck norris Goes to sleep he prays to john mcphee lol
Thank God he's on our team!
With all respect, It looked and sounded like he was on something through the video
Opium tea and speed pills.
I was just thinking same thing, but hey, fuck it this man earned all that lol
I think he’s just got a few screws loose. Guys gotta be a little crazy to begin with.
Just an intense dude hes the same in all his interviews.
@@SrAntonio301I think most people in any high tier team has some screws loose. No offense meant
I'm glad there are guys cut out for this. As much as I'd like to think I could do it; I know better. My anxiety would get me killed.
They could make this into Pineapple Express-type movie
I’ve seen a few of these podcasts involving men of this caliber and they all seem more clued up than most men in society given they’ve seen how shit life can be and yet they volunteer for even more of it all to protect their families and homeland without hearing a single story from them years past these men are true legends
Pretty gnarly experience.
Thank you for your services
That OG Navy dude was down with his Homies and went off on their enemies asap. Rip to OG Navy Homes.
These are different kind of humans!!
Iam going to be hearing “you know what I mean” in my sleep. You know what I mean.
je n'ai pas le temps pour les confidences , passez à la télé
Who’s gonna carry the boats & the logs!!!!
Epic and hilarious
Make this a comedy with Seth Rogan as John Mcphee
Super risky. Incredibly courageous.
John "You know what I mean" McPhee
I like this guy
That’s such a rad story! Thanks!
2:56 they sound like gobbling turkeys
I was in Charlie company with John
idk i dont even remember lol he says this to all of his question.
D operators are the absolute hands down best in the world.
The true meaning of Army of One
I used to have all my POG slammers displayed like that case behind the dude talkin.
Your a valued warrior! ⚔️🇺🇲
San Bruno California headquarters of TH-cam, has had Explosive devices in place.
How believes one word he said????
😂 love this guy. I guess in this case you do go "full Reta*d"
This guys so savage no fucks given for anyone calculated psychopath he's so fucking cool and he knows it 😂😂😂😂😂
Would love to hear more details of the story. How could they not tell he was American or European?
you simpled jacked him LOLL
if you just listen to this interview...he kinda sounds like woody harrelson.
its all true
LOL ! what a set of balls !
Did he not say he paid the cab driver $37 in American money?
Why would they send someone on a solo mission to an incredibly remote part of Afghanistan who didn’t speak any kind of Persian or Arabic or anything??
Lalala LAALALA Laaala
Us McPhee’s don’t fk around, just get it done.
How did he fit his giant balls in the truck!
Listening to this podcast was like listening to Mike interview a 6 year old fixated on watching cartoons. Dude wouldn’t even answer any questions in depth or intellectually.
Mike Drop is one of my favorite podcast but this one was a hard one to listen to, couldn’t even finish it.
He was also kind of a dick to Mike, at several points, and not just the ball busting you’d expect. I thought Mike navigated the interview well!
Go watch neil degrasse fucking Tyson then
@@Marty_NC_Ranch , you do realize that there are things that Shrek can't talk about because of National Security. There are things that he's participated in that shouldn't be known to the general public. He doesn't have a safety net against reprisal since he's a civilian. What do you care. You just want scuttlebutt to tell all your boyfriends that you play Call of Dooty with. And if he uses whiskey as a coping mechanism to get himself through the interview, then so be it.
There are somethings you can tell he didn’t want to get into so deep but navigated around them as he could. It’s kind of weird but what seems impressive to us is not impressive to him so he doesn’t think it’s important.
What you construe as rudeness towards Mike is the difference between a former Delta guy and and a Seal.
Delta guys very very rarely talk about anything they ever did. It's just not their nature. However if one does start telling stories, such as here with Shrek, or , say Kyle Lamb, you can be sure they've cleared every bit of it with their handlers ahead of time.
(what?, you didn't think the government would leave them just run around unsupervised, did you)
If you listen with your eyes closed...he sounds like Woody Harrelson.
No one mentioning that he had a killing addiction!
He actually says it in the full video
If you watch his interview instead of running to the comments immediately, you'd know he talked about it.
Yeah that’s what I did, you win
I know he does, and I knew people would, it was just a blanket comment no need for replies it was rhetorical
Time stamp?
Shoenice meets Rambo
could not get passed 2 minutes listening to this guy
You mean the "sniff, sniff, you know what I mean" shit? Hahahahaha!
@@markriggall383he does look like he's itching to get a bump or something,
U couldn't hang two minutes with John you have zero clue what this guy has done zero!
@@user-bt8lr1cm7g and it will remain zero. i'm ok with that.
Wait, COKE pills?!
Speed
You know what I mean
LOL ...einstein
LIKE i Took my speed pills BUT LIKE
No disrespect but I think the mission was simple enough to have one Delta dude do it. Not comfortably but successfully . The brass classified this mission as E from A to Z in mission plans.
Speedpill wingman 😂🎉
@@IIIFrenchyIII 🤣
Ok dork
This dude does not give AF lol
Is this guy HIGH in anything during this interview ?
Seems it
No, that's just the way he tells you he enjoyed what he did while he's telling you what he did .
Find other interviews with him and you'll see he's Articulate, urbane, very personable, very much a professional. Total opposite of the "bro culture" bs you saw here.
❤🎉 Wowwwwww ❤❤❤❤❤❤ #Salute😎👌👁️ S/o Heather 🙏🌹👊 #CopyDat
3:27 yummy opium tea hell yeah and speed pills the
This dude used to be articulate and mentally sharp until last year but it seems he is having some mental issues now, I hope I am wrong, he is a hero anyway !!!
I think he's dropping the act military front any military veteran has for the cameras and is just being himself
I swear to god is this Jeff gross?
Balls- th-cam.com/video/js-tnEmI78w/w-d-xo.html
Dude is tweaking
Definitely
I have a lot of respect for these guys put this dude's too old to be using the F-bomb literally at nine times in every single sentence
You obviously haven't served 😅
What's he been snorting
