I served in the same battalion as Hutch. Coolest dude ever. He was a legit great soldier and NCO. We always saw each other in passing and cracked jokes and busted each other's balls. He was totally different then. War fucked him up bad. He's always been an intelligent and thoughtful man. His story is definitely worth the listen.
Mark Twain said: “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.” Watching SWU is like traveling. You’re traveling into the lives of others. You show the humanity of people that might otherwise be marginalized. This channel is a treasure.
@@Troll_Spanker so in your tiny little imaginary world a person can’t heal and be a good parent once experiencing addiction to a substance at any point in their life is an immutable fact? Or are you claiming you smoked meth with him daily so you know he is on it. You were there? You get high with him , you’re the witness that has the evidence? Or just someone that likes to say things that they believe based on absolutely nothing but your limited experience watching a video on TH-cam?
@Emotional_Evolution na I went through addiction... this man is clearly still in the addiction. Very different. You have to earn that sunkin in face.... when your clean 30 days that face goes away real fast
i'm a UK veteran, unfortunately I was never able to explain to my children why I am the way I am and I really regret it, it took 20 years for everything to come to a head, I wasn't able to hold down a job or relationship and I became an alcoholic, I wish i'd been able to watch a video like this 30 years ago and maybe I would've been a better father and partner, well done Hutch you're an inspiration
@Peanut they're all adult's now and I have explained my issues but the war was 40 years ago so I don't thnk they really grasp the effects it had on me, don't get me wrong I get on great with my kids but I don't think they know how different life may have been if I had been diagnosed with ptsd at the early stages, instead they saw me spiraling out of control, I have so many regrets that I wasn't able to be as laid back with my kids as I am with my grandkids
@@mallacai I wish I had family like you, and I think your family is all the better for seeing you overcome something bigger than all of us. You deserved a better life. I'm proud of you for how far you've come
I don't know why but seeing Hutch interact with his son made me cry. A 46 year old, grown ass man all teared up over a beautiful interaction between a father and his son.
This 73 year old lady just wants to hug this man SO hard! You are one of the best of men on the planet, both heart and soul...a blessing to hear with so many lessons we can learn from. Stay strong, and always true to yourself...but you already know that. 😊💕🙏
Mark, you say your viewers are the most evolved, compassionate group on social media. But it’s your videos that bring out that good quality in us. I’d say that is real success.
Gosh, I understand what Jack meant when he talked about how great a guy Hutch really is.. he’s an even better dad!! Thank you Hutch, for you service and your heart! I work with veterans and I enjoy it. You have a really awesome kid!!
The first interview was powerful. This one here... I just love this guy. Talking about his insecurities as a kid, about almost everything.. gosh that was me man. I really hope you get this guy back again. The knowledge he's gained from therapy and life over the years is amazing. I love the way he speaks. He's real.
This channel has completely changed my perception of people. It has softened my heart and I intentionally try to be a better person and not judge others. We all have a story and sadly some stories are far more horrible than others. God bless you Mark, Hutch and his family ❤️🙏❤️
As a marine, this guy is a true inspiration to all veterans...he literally changed his life in order to become the best dad he can be to his son. Not only that, he has no shame for what he did or what he has been through, because it takes a special kind of someone to sit up there and tell everyone your life story. I was there when he was and went through very similar experiences over seas. PTSD is very real and these guys coming back need all the help they can get. I hope you get the VA assistance you need and some compensation for what you've been through! Keep on fighting the good fight brother, we all have your 6 out here.
TBH, as a combat vet myself, he's the only interviewee I relate to. It actually is healing to hear from a fellow veteran. It would be wonderful to have a channel dedicated to the vets! God bless
my buddy has a channel. I don't know if it's anything you'll be interested in, but they do a veterans talk weekly livestream. You can just listen or get on and talk if you want. Can't promise you'll like it. Just a bunch of guys from pretty much everywhere talking about their experiences, their bikes, star trek, taxes LOL bunch of stuff. I'm not a combat vet, so I normally just sit quiet and listen and learn, but I don't know. Let me know if you want to come by. It's a respectful place full of assholes. p.s. I'm not here to promote his channel or anything. Just reading the comments with a strange feeling in my chest after watching this. Figured I'd say hi.
Im a grown man, a clean addict since 10 years, im moved to tears watching and listening to this man and his young boy. Hutch × 2, I love you both. I wish you all the best. All the way from sweden ❤️ thank you.
I’m a veteran also, I still go this day struggle to express my feelings and thoughts because I don’t want to give the impression I’m weak. Brother, you’re a beacon of light for the military veteran community! I got your 6.
Thank you for your service. Don't give up on yourself. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and it will get easier. You Deserve to be listened to.❤️
As a religious follower of SWU and as a therapist who works with trauma, the conversation with Hutch and Chase brought me to tears! The way the two of them looked at each other with love, compassion and understanding- holy crap, SO beautiful!! Again, as a person who is committed to helping people break generational trauma cycles, you are doing a wonderful job!! The world needs to hear more of you! ♥️♥️
i grew up without a father... and i completely fell apart at the end of this video. i would have given anything and everything for a father that felt everything fully like Hutch wore his heart on his sleeve, and knew when to own up to mistakes. that self awareness and compassion is exactly why his son will grow into a confident, self aware king of a man like him. nothing can ever equal good parenting. nothing.
Right. My dad died when I was 7. And my step dad was trash. So I had no example of a good man until my fiancé. This dude gave me faith in dads again besides my fiancé! Like legit! Dude is just a great human! ♥️♥️♥️
Chance, you're an intelligent caring kid who has a bright future. Stay in school, seek knowledge and keep your pure heart. Your dad is a pillar of strength who is definitely proud of what a kind young man you're becoming.
Look how a kid sees his dad. When he asked him tell me about your dad, he said he is best at math. If you showed a picture of this man to everyone in the world and ask to describe him, not one single person would says he is probably best at math. That's wholesome.
Wow! This is the first combat veteran I was able to really listen to. As a vet myself, I’m used to the “macho, bad ass, I’ll kill you with my bare hands,” type of vet and it has always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s such a mask and does nothing to educate people regarding the absolute atrocities surrounding war. Thank you for your selfless service and thank you for talking about your experiences in an honest, compassionate and authentic way.
Hutch, this has been very moving for me, because I had a rough childhood in Detroit as a White Boy. Public schools, trauma in the early years, broken family, the hood and stuff. The stigma that came with that era. My dad and older brothers were never in my life. My dad died young. Joined the Marines and spent 12 years active duty. Did Desert Storm. Left when my first born son was 3 weeks old. I ascribe to the same sensitivity as you. I appreciate your content so much! That you and thank Mark for doing the work. This means so much to me! You’re a good man.! You did some good work! This taught me a lot trust me. I’m not to old to learn that. Thank you guys again!!! Semper Fi
I can’t decide which interview I like of Hutch more. The candid insight is brilliant. I will quote Hutch over and over again as long as I live. Hugs to him and his family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This channel does an incredible job at helping people from the audience to get to know themselves better through the experience told by the people who are interviewed. Mark is fantastically receptive in the way he lets people walking through their discourse and only intervening to let them walk further through their thought process, getting them back to the track of what they want to express in a way they never had the opportunity to express before. I'm sure all this library of interviews will be seen for the centuries to come as a treasure of sociological and anthropologic data.
His depth of self-awareness as well as his ability to eloquently discuss humanity's most basic issues is profound and extremely moving. I thank him for his service and all the terrible sacrifices he has had to make for our country. He gives me hope for humanity today.
I agree, siblings can grow up in the same family but experience completely different childhoods. What I love about Hutch is that he is brutally honest with himself and is a badass for facing his demons. And THAT is how you break the cycle and don’t pass it on to your kids. My father is a kurdish man who was tortured in turkish prisons for years, had a family and then voluntarily went to Iraq to fight for the Kurds against the Saddam regime. He came back as a stranger, a present but absent father. Nightmares until this day and still can’t talk about it. All I can do is return his unconditional love and just accept that it took me to break the cycle for me. I had to heal for my father and generations before until I felt confident enough to start my own family. It makes me incredibly happy to see stories like Hutch’s and how he is healing also to be good dad because no matter where you are from, the color of your skin, religion or status, wars are a different challenge for every soul. Thank you for sharing. Much love ❤️
I'm sorry about your father. I'm glad you've broken the cycle so you can have peace. I believe another aspect of each having our own viewpoint is our individual temperament. Like Hutch talking about being sensitive.
Not too mention what Saddam did too those poor Kurds when he gassed that entire community killing innocent people, including children.. that was unforgivable what he did. I’m just glad that justice finally caught up with him. He got what he deserved in the end. RIP all those Kurds who died at the hands of Saddam.
Hutch, meeting your son Chance is an amazing indicator of how you preview the world and the change you want for the world. You’re a rockstar. Great job!
That boy is unbelievably cantered and balanced. I ❤ how his son understands his Father isn’t mad at him but something he did or does. The Father recognized that and broke the cycle. Peace Love and Empathy 🙏
The perspectives soft white underbelly facilitates is truly a gift. The gratitude I have for the guest's courage to speak openly about their lives is immeasurable.
This man is exploiting all of these people and he said it out of his own mouth. Please do your research on him and I advise you to start with exploitation and death of Amanda Rabb. Here you go th-cam.com/video/xdfvYfuEUsA/w-d-xo.html
Hutch is a awesome and beautiful individual. Chance knows he is beyond lucky to have him as his father. Genuine and and emotionally intelligent. Showing men that it is ok to do the same. You are changing lives bro!!😊❤
As a combat veteran of OIF deployed in 03/04, 06, 07, and 08 I see myself and so many people I served with in this interview. Hutch should be getting a full VA rating. It's a bitch of a process but those of us who went through Iraq and Afghanistan and came back different need it.
@@LOGEZZZZZBROyour rate of disability on a scale of 100%. 100% get max benefits. I know someone who never went to war and makes 100%, kinda sad tbh.. should be going to people like hutch
Eight year active duty vet here, Hutch. Thank you brother. I appreciate very much your time with Mark here. Keep your head down and powder dry, partner. You're an amazing human being.
You gotta get this guy back on he has helped me more then any other interview Ive ever seen. I seriously thought I was the only one that viewed the world the way he does, Also an army afghanistan vet to so it all just hits home. Severe addiction to crazy struggles in life, one after another. Thanks brother this was therapy
Precious, precious, PRECIOUS. I watched both of the interviews with Hutch and I think he’s a fabulous person and - as an empath myself- I can see his huge heart. And what a great dad and the cutest kid EVER!!! If you ever read this, Chance… I’m so happy you have him as your dad. Side note: had no idea Hawaii was like as he described. 👀
Hey Hutch; Your first video really helped me. I'm in recovery for 3 different substances with 3 different sober dates and I just got my Gold Chip 4 days ago on August 17th this year was officially 1 year clean from Opiate pain pills. Your video helped me thru some of the tough times and the darkest days I've had. I'm 369 days clean today from Opiate pain pills and I'm doing great in my recovery. I wish I could send some money your way but I'm broke, disabled and dying and on Provincial Disability benefits and it's not much. I go without food for 10 to 14 days a month as some of my meds aren't covered. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers and positive vibes your way. Thanks again, Hutch. Thanks for doing these interviews as you in your first video explained how my PTSD works and I actually sent it to my family. Your words will help change lives one day as you helped change mine just by telling your story in your first interview with Mark. Stay Awesome and Frosty. You're tremendous and please just stick to making positive decisions and changes. You can do it. I believe in you. I truly do. Stay strong. ~Gh0sT
"There are third-world countries in our country." I was on the Big Island for three years (K-K). I walked away feeling exactly like you stated. I learned more about racism in those three years than I would've thought possible. I had truly considered myself to be a non-racist. But being white in Hawaii taught me what it FEELS like to be pre-judged based strictly on my skin color. FEELING it made it real, not abstract or an intellectual exercise about inequality and the harm it causes. I consider those three years as being critical in my overall development as a human being. Now, almost 30 years later, it remains a jumping-off place from which I am hopefully still learning.
I am a white guy who grew up in Hawaii and I have family roots that go back more than 200 years. Many of my friends are part native Hawaiian. I never had any real problems with getting threatened or beat up for being a haole, mainly because I can speak fluent pidgin, I understand native culture, and I never came across as being a "mainland haole", which most locals really despise. That being said, I think the Hawaiian Renaissance, which started in the 1970s, has been a two-edged sword. On one hand, it revived much of the pride in native people and woke them up to the very real fact that Hawaiian culture had been marginalized, distorted, and sent on a crash course towards obliteration by the dominant Western culture. On the other hand it really has fueled a more intense and visceral dislike of white people in general. The "haole hating" has always been in the islands and it isn't limited to native Hawaiians (it has to do with the past exploitation of Asian field workers by white plantation owners), but to me, the last 40 years of the Hawaiian Renaissance has made it OK to overtly shit on white folks as a "payback" for all that's gone down over the years. And it has infiltrated every level of society, including the government. So yes, I agree. If you want to experience racism and you're a mainland haole with no clue about the complicated nature of race relations in Hawaii, buy some property in rural Hawaii, set up your living arrangements, and you'll get a crash course of what it is like to be flat out HATED for the color of your skin.
Just move to any major US city I grew up in Baltimore. First part of my life was in the county, we were all mixed together and got along just fine. My parents use to have all kinds of home movies from cook outs for just about every holiday and school events. In ALL of them you see every shade of skin and hair. Everyone is happy, having fun and getting along. I had no clue what racism was until life happened and we ended up moving into the projects. Life was rough until they realized my mother was a druggie and my dad had an endless supply of really good pain pills and I was more than willing to fight back. I got the hell out of the city at 18 and have only gone back to bury my dad.
I'm just speechless. As a child I learned not to talk about feelings, not to feel, not to show. I sit now in the remnants of that. Trying to figure it out anew, half my life gone. He even named his son Cance. I'm just speechless.
I have a new son-in-law who is a Afghan vet and I have learned so much from you, Hutch. I now understand so much better of what he is going through every day and night. I appreciate your honesty and insight into the internal affects upon you from serving your country. You are amazing and I am so impressed by your interaction with your son. You are doing a great job and I wish you the best.
I watched Jack’s video and that was so intense! Then I searched for Hutch’s videos and wow, now I get it what Jack was taking about. Thank you for sharing your story with us Hutch! You’re raising an amazing kid and I wish you guys the best of luck! You guys are incredible ♥️
Keep on keeping on brother! As a Former 1/505 3BCT ACO 82nd AB from 01-09 med discharged after eating 3 ak rounds on my last tour in Khost Afghanistan. Things still haven't been the same since that day in oct 09. We all gave some but some gave all and that's what keeps me from going insane over the things seen & done over there. Hutch, Thank you for your service & the inspiration to a lot of us vets. H-Minus & Charlie Mike! 🏴🤘🏼
The way you speak to your son brought tears to my eyes. To be seen and listened to is such a gift. What a beautiful relationship you two will enjoy together for life. ❤
I sobbed watching these two together. Made me realise I’m so grateful for my parents. Hutch models pure love and compassion and most importantly always pushing yourself to be the best person you can be for others. Especially after seeing so many interviews on here where we see how unsafe environments impact people
No truer statement than “let me grieve how I want” you are so aware of yourself and your past and present it’s fucking insane. Forget those who feel you shouldn’t own your true feelings. Be yourself!
I'm without words. What a loving father and son. The kid is so beautiful in every way and Hutch is such a good father. Hutch, I congratulate you for coming such a long, long way and for everything you overcame, you've done such a good job. You are tough and brave. I wish your family all the best
To see how healthy Hutch looks physically, spiritually and emotionally compared to his first interview made my heart swell. You're an incredible man and I hope that you continue to heal and make the best of life. Chance, you are one cool guy and your dad loves you so much, you can see it from a million miles away! You both warmed my heart tonight, and I'm grateful for the message you share with the world - love wins.
hutch mentions tradition.. and also how his father and grandfather were vets. there is such a tradition of military families, and pride in that. and he mentions not wanting to leave someone with a crappy feeling. really appreciate that. and how he says "the feeling stays with you after the thought has come and gone".. wow, such a mouthful. think most of us can relate. let alone the thoughts that loop over and over and you, which you feel you have no control over. yes, how we 'perceive shit' is everything. and knowing 'something' is happening and the part we're playing in that... yes, huge.
Chance is absolutely precious! Thank you for sharing this beautiful bond that you two share. Amazing dad, clever, compassionate son left me with huge Crocodile Tears..
I love the interaction with Chance. It shows what an amazing guy Hutch is. I want him to continue to win at life! We need more Hutches in this world. Hutch and Chance, if you see this, I’m praying for you guys and I think you’re both amazing humans. ❤
Beautiful interview. I love listening to Hutch. His son is a wonderful example of what it means to have a loving dad. Seeing his son Chance was awesome. Thank you Hutch and Chance for sharing what we all need to hear and learn. Thank you Mark.
Ive watched all 3 interviews with Hutch, man... The feels.. But this one had me smiling for 40 minutes straight.. What a treat 'meeting' your lovely son.
The communication hutch has with his son is needed by the world I literally almost started crying it’s one thing to be a good person but a good parent and kid is golden 🥺❤️
How i missed watching this one and hutch’s other video is beyond me. I 😢am full of emotions from tears to a full heart. Chance is a beautiful boy, Hutch is a great dad. I’m So happy he made it home safely and that he tackles the demons in a healthy way today. This guy is a class act and i love him!
This channel is amazing and is helping thousands, millions of people. Hutch has made a huge impact on others for his amazing words. Keep this site up!~
Someone commented in another video yesterday that the Hutch vids were worth watching. Im glad I've listened to these, Hutch you're a great guy and your son is awesome!
Thank you for your service. Not only in the military but for humanity. I was blown away by your deep insight of war on the first episode. Especially after all you have been through. God bless you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing.
Watching this video and the previous video of Hutch, and listening to what he had to say made me think so much about my self and life. I can relate in many ways about his thoughts. I haven't seen or experienced in any way the horrific things that Hutch has, but with the things i experienced in my life i can understand when he says his son and girlfriend have been so patient and been there to support and comfort him. I have always wanted that in my life. True unconditional love. I 've always craved that and never felt that. I have been discarded by so many people in my life, because of my actions, reactions without someone ever saying to me, you're ok, i'm here, you'll be ok and i still love you. I have always been made to feel like i'm just crazy, f****d up and I should just deal with it and move on. I know i am a good person, but there has never been anyone in my life, that truely saw that, when the ugly side of me reared its head. Luckily and i don't know how, i have never turned to drugs but i did other things in life that were self destructive that i'm so ashamed of and can't believe some of the decisions I've made. Sitting here today, i realize that I am 59 years old and i really need to get help, or i will never have any healthy relationships in my life and i don't want to die that way. Thank you Hutch and Mark. And i do want to say that when i was younger i used to be that person that would judge a book by its cover, but did learn the hard way that you most certainly can't do that. You have to hear people out and not judge by what you initially see.
One of my absolute favorite interviews. Hutch, I'm grateful there are people like you in the world. You spread healing around like pixie dust. Thank you for being so open and honest. And thank you for doing the work. It helps us all heal.
Hutch, I just watched both your interviews this afternoon. I wish you continued peace and healing. I would be PROUD to have you as a brother or father. You have gained a lot of clarity for what is truly important in life. God Bless You for making these videos. You have made the world a better place. I would love to hear your response to my comment!!
Such an interesting analogy of PTSD. A special individual with so much wisdom to share.The love and respect shown between father and son was incredible. Absolutely loved this interview ✌
I watched both of your interviews Hutch and came away wiser. I never served, but you and your son's interactions remind me of me and mine. We also live on Big Island. Would love to hear more wisdom from you. Mahalo.
As a young man who’s 25, grew up in LA and use to tell my parents I wasn’t going to live to see age 18 this man has helped me a lot. At 25 I’ve outlived most of friends very few are alive, free, or not strung out. After a failed suicide attempt this channel really helped me acknowledge my pain and hitch really helped me understand that it’s okay to be vulnerable. In today’s society we’re just told to “man up, get a job, stop complaining” thank you mark and hitch for clarity, and helping with my healing process!
I'm glad you're here. I know the pain of attempting suicide. I've been there myself. It's a long hard uphill battle to healing. I hope you're doing well.❤️
MASSIVE RESPECT from Providence, RI... Your interview was incredible. *Nice haircut Sir! **MARK! Please get Hutch back again, I could listen to him for hours!
An absolute addition to the world. What he said at the end about thinking his Dad hated him because he got mad at HIM instead of his actions, man such a subtlety and so big of him to make sure he doesn't do that to his son. I definitely grew up thinking my parents hated me, and that did nobody any good. Hutch is the poster boy of good parenting. All the best mate, you're an inspiration.
Fascinating series of interviews with Hutch. I love hearing people talk who are actively doing the work to understand themselves and go deeper in their emotional intelligence so they can grow in a healthy way for both themselves and everyone around them. Deep respect.
Well I have lts of tears. Absolutely love this man. Thank you for your service, for sacrificing parts of yourself that will last your lifetime and BRAVO for being such an awesome father to your absolutely adorable son. You have a whole lot to be proud of.
I served in the same battalion as Hutch. Coolest dude ever. He was a legit great soldier and NCO. We always saw each other in passing and cracked jokes and busted each other's balls. He was totally different then. War fucked him up bad. He's always been an intelligent and thoughtful man. His story is definitely worth the listen.
Fucked him up in what way?
I'm just some person watching on TH-cam, but I love what he has to say!
What was he like prior to going to war?
"I usually cry before I get angry."
And with that, this 9 year old is wiser than most adults.
This is so true. Sometimes we just get angry in order not to cry.
@@silviaaa Indeed. Anger is just sadness masked.
And he’s sensitive, just like his Dad.

And vice versa. Great people ❤️
This man's love for his son is heartwarming
“If they are haters then why do they watch?” What a great question young man. What a great question. That’s the internet for you
As a marine, this guy is a true inspiration to all veterans...he literally changed his life in order to become the best dad he can be to his son. Not only that, he has no shame for what he did or what he has been through, because it takes a special kind of someone to sit up there and tell everyone your life story. I was there when he was and went through very similar experiences over seas. PTSD is very real and these guys coming back need all the help they can get. I hope you get the VA assistance you need and some compensation for what you've been through! Keep on fighting the good fight brother, we all have your 6 out here.

Oh yeah hear how you heroically fought for freedom murdering poor people to make rich men richer
my buddy has a channel. I don't know if it's anything you'll be interested in, but they do a veterans talk weekly livestream. You can just listen or get on and talk if you want.
Can't promise you'll like it. Just a bunch of guys from pretty much everywhere talking about their experiences, their bikes, star trek, taxes LOL bunch of stuff.
I'm not a combat vet, so I normally just sit quiet and listen and learn, but I don't know. Let me know if you want to come by. It's a respectful place full of assholes.
p.s. I'm not here to promote his channel or anything. Just reading the comments with a strange feeling in my chest after watching this. Figured I'd say hi.
that so very thoughtful of you to invite him! World needs more people like you!
No he doesn’t need a separate channel dedicated to vets, he can do it all on this platform , they are all divided by subjects on here .
@@heatshield totally interested.
I think this veteran should become a motivational speaker to educate people and advocate for veterans ...
The quote he paraphrased is 'The true measure in any society is how it treats its most vulnerable members'. - Ghandi
Im a grown man, a clean addict since 10 years, im moved to tears watching and listening to this man and his young boy. Hutch × 2, I love you both. I wish you all the best. All the way from sweden ❤️ thank you.
I’m a veteran also, I still go this day struggle to express my feelings and thoughts because I don’t want to give the impression I’m weak.
Brother, you’re a beacon of light for the military veteran community!
I got your 6.
Thank you for your service.
Don't give up on yourself. Keep putting one foot in front of the other and it will get easier. You Deserve to be listened to.❤️
As a Veteran, I can understand what you are saying....for me it's a constant roller coaster
This dad is truly a good dad… and his son is sweet. What a good kid!!🥰
As a religious follower of SWU and as a therapist who works with trauma, the conversation with Hutch and Chase brought me to tears! The way the two of them looked at each other with love, compassion and understanding- holy crap, SO beautiful!! Again, as a person who is committed to helping people break generational trauma cycles, you are doing a wonderful job!! The world needs to hear more of you! ♥️♥️
I think this channel can be super helpful to anyone going into mental health. It gives this raw experience with people and their experiences.
Much love to this man and to all of you watching.
Despite this guy's experiences, he's managed to raise a really solid kid. I rarely see well-mannered, polite kids like this. What a good guy.
i grew up without a father... and i completely fell apart at the end of this video. i would have given anything and everything for a father that felt everything fully like Hutch wore his heart on his sleeve, and knew when to own up to mistakes. that self awareness and compassion is exactly why his son will grow into a confident, self aware king of a man like him. nothing can ever equal good parenting. nothing.
Me too.
Good health and peace be with you.
Right. My dad died when I was 7. And my step dad was trash. So I had no example of a good man until my fiancé. This dude gave me faith in dads again besides my fiancé! Like legit! Dude is just a great human! ♥️♥️♥️
Chance, you're an intelligent caring kid who has a bright future. Stay in school, seek knowledge and keep your pure heart. Your dad is a pillar of strength who is definitely proud of what a kind young man you're becoming.
It’s Hutch
@@alantate25 his son is Chance
Look how a kid sees his dad. When he asked him tell me about your dad, he said he is best at math. If you showed a picture of this man to everyone in the world and ask to describe him, not one single person would says he is probably best at math. That's wholesome.
Greatest father-son team ever. We need more men like you two in this world. ❤️
absolutely!!! Best Dad Award
👌🇬🇧
@Almo330 Are you going to donate GoFundMe?
Chance is an old soul. Hutch is doing a beautiful job of raising this young man!
Wow! This is the first combat veteran I was able to really listen to. As a vet myself, I’m used to the “macho, bad ass, I’ll kill you with my bare hands,” type of vet and it has always rubbed me the wrong way. It’s such a mask and does nothing to educate people regarding the absolute atrocities surrounding war. Thank you for your selfless service and thank you for talking about your experiences in an honest, compassionate and authentic way.
I also want to say you are doing a great job with parenting Chance! It all starts at home. What a handsome young man!
Hutch, this has been very moving for me, because I had a rough childhood in Detroit as a White Boy.
Public schools, trauma in the early years, broken family, the hood and stuff.
The stigma that came with that era.
My dad and older brothers were never in my life. My dad died young.
Joined the Marines and spent 12 years active duty. Did Desert Storm. Left when my first born son was 3 weeks old.
I ascribe to the same sensitivity as you.
I appreciate your content so much!
That you and thank Mark for doing the work.
This means so much to me!
You’re a good man.!
You did some good work!
This taught me a lot trust me. I’m not to old to learn that.
Thank you guys again!!!
Semper Fi
Such a chill little guy. He did better raising him alone than some kids with both parents. Amazing.
Mark. Thank you for allowing people to have a voice, a platform. Thank you for leaving and making a mark on so so many. Blessings always.
I can’t decide which interview I like of Hutch more. The candid insight is brilliant. I will quote Hutch over and over again as long as I live. Hugs to him and his family. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This channel does an incredible job at helping people from the audience to get to know themselves better through the experience told by the people who are interviewed.
Mark is fantastically receptive in the way he lets people walking through their discourse and only intervening to let them walk further through their thought process, getting them back to the track of what they want to express in a way they never had the opportunity to express before.
I'm sure all this library of interviews will be seen for the centuries to come as a treasure of sociological and anthropologic data.
Very well said.
That last part 🤯
His depth of self-awareness as well as his ability to eloquently discuss humanity's most basic issues is profound and extremely moving. I thank him for his service and all the terrible sacrifices he has had to make for our country. He gives me hope for humanity today.
I agree, siblings can grow up in the same family but experience completely different childhoods. What I love about Hutch is that he is brutally honest with himself and is a badass for facing his demons. And THAT is how you break the cycle and don’t pass it on to your kids. My father is a kurdish man who was tortured in turkish prisons for years, had a family and then voluntarily went to Iraq to fight for the Kurds against the Saddam regime. He came back as a stranger, a present but absent father. Nightmares until this day and still can’t talk about it. All I can do is return his unconditional love and just accept that it took me to break the cycle for me. I had to heal for my father and generations before until I felt confident enough to start my own family. It makes me incredibly happy to see stories like Hutch’s and how he is healing also to be good dad because no matter where you are from, the color of your skin, religion or status, wars are a different challenge for every soul. Thank you for sharing. Much love ❤️
Beautiful comment!
"Siblings can grow up in the same family and experience completely different childhoods" truth, truth, truth"!
I'm sorry about your father. I'm glad you've broken the cycle so you can have peace.
I believe another aspect of each having our own viewpoint is our individual temperament. Like Hutch talking about being sensitive.
💯💯❤❤
Not too mention what Saddam did too those poor Kurds when he gassed that entire community killing innocent people, including children.. that was unforgivable what he did. I’m just glad that justice finally caught up with him. He got what he deserved in the end. RIP all those Kurds who died at the hands of Saddam.
Hutch, meeting your son Chance is an amazing indicator of how you preview the world and the change you want for the world. You’re a rockstar. Great job!
Love this little boy. Amazing job Hutch. “Breaking the cycle.”💙💙
That boy is unbelievably cantered and balanced. I ❤ how his son understands his Father isn’t mad at him but something he did or does. The Father recognized that and broke the cycle. Peace Love and Empathy 🙏
The perspectives soft white underbelly facilitates is truly a gift. The gratitude I have for the guest's courage to speak openly about their lives is immeasurable.
This man is exploiting all of these people and he said it out of his own mouth. Please do your research on him and I advise you to start with exploitation and death of Amanda Rabb. Here you go
th-cam.com/video/xdfvYfuEUsA/w-d-xo.html
Hutch is a awesome and beautiful individual. Chance knows he is beyond lucky to have him as his father. Genuine and and emotionally intelligent. Showing men that it is ok to do the same. You are changing lives bro!!😊❤
As a combat veteran of OIF deployed in 03/04, 06, 07, and 08 I see myself and so many people I served with in this interview. Hutch should be getting a full VA rating. It's a bitch of a process but those of us who went through Iraq and Afghanistan and came back different need it.
What is VA rating?
@@LOGEZZZZZBROyour rate of disability on a scale of 100%. 100% get max benefits. I know someone who never went to war and makes 100%, kinda sad tbh.. should be going to people like hutch
Eight year active duty vet here, Hutch. Thank you brother. I appreciate very much your time with Mark here. Keep your head down and powder dry, partner. You're an amazing human being.
You gotta get this guy back on he has helped me more then any other interview Ive ever seen. I seriously thought I was the only one that viewed the world the way he does, Also an army afghanistan vet to so it all just hits home. Severe addiction to crazy struggles in life, one after another. Thanks brother this was therapy
Precious, precious, PRECIOUS. I watched both of the interviews with Hutch and I think he’s a fabulous person and - as an empath myself- I can see his huge heart. And what a great dad and the cutest kid EVER!!! If you ever read this, Chance… I’m so happy you have him as your dad. Side note: had no idea Hawaii was like as he described. 👀
Hey Hutch;
Your first video really helped me. I'm in recovery for 3 different substances with 3 different sober dates and I just got my Gold Chip 4 days ago on August 17th this year was officially 1 year clean from Opiate pain pills. Your video helped me thru some of the tough times and the darkest days I've had. I'm 369 days clean today from Opiate pain pills and I'm doing great in my recovery.
I wish I could send some money your way but I'm broke, disabled and dying and on Provincial Disability benefits and it's not much. I go without food for 10 to 14 days a month as some of my meds aren't covered.
I'll keep you and your family in my prayers and positive vibes your way.
Thanks again, Hutch. Thanks for doing these interviews as you in your first video explained how my PTSD works and I actually sent it to my family. Your words will help change lives one day as you helped change mine just by telling your story in your first interview with Mark.
Stay Awesome and Frosty. You're tremendous and please just stick to making positive decisions and changes. You can do it.
I believe in you. I truly do.
Stay strong.

There's a reason not everyone can be good at soldering. They are a special breed. To all the veterans. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE. 🙏❤️
"Dying Breed" neck tat 👍🏼
"There are third-world countries in our country." I was on the Big Island for three years (K-K). I walked away feeling exactly like you stated. I learned more about racism in those three years than I would've thought possible. I had truly considered myself to be a non-racist. But being white in Hawaii taught me what it FEELS like to be pre-judged based strictly on my skin color. FEELING it made it real, not abstract or an intellectual exercise about inequality and the harm it causes. I consider those three years as being critical in my overall development as a human being. Now, almost 30 years later, it remains a jumping-off place from which I am hopefully still learning.
It's great you chose to learn from that instead of letting it make you bitter and hateful about it
But I thought only "white people" could be racist
I am a white guy who grew up in Hawaii and I have family roots that go back more than 200 years. Many of my friends are part native Hawaiian. I never had any real problems with getting threatened or beat up for being a haole, mainly because I can speak fluent pidgin, I understand native culture, and I never came across as being a "mainland haole", which most locals really despise.
That being said, I think the Hawaiian Renaissance, which started in the 1970s, has been a two-edged sword. On one hand, it revived much of the pride in native people and woke them up to the very real fact that Hawaiian culture had been marginalized, distorted, and sent on a crash course towards obliteration by the dominant Western culture. On the other hand it really has fueled a more intense and visceral dislike of white people in general. The "haole hating" has always been in the islands and it isn't limited to native Hawaiians (it has to do with the past exploitation of Asian field workers by white plantation owners), but to me, the last 40 years of the Hawaiian Renaissance has made it OK to overtly shit on white folks as a "payback" for all that's gone down over the years. And it has infiltrated every level of society, including the government.
So yes, I agree. If you want to experience racism and you're a mainland haole with no clue about the complicated nature of race relations in Hawaii, buy some property in rural Hawaii, set up your living arrangements, and you'll get a crash course of what it is like to be flat out HATED for the color of your skin.
Just move to any major US city I grew up in Baltimore. First part of my life was in the county, we were all mixed together and got along just fine. My parents use to have all kinds of home movies from cook outs for just about every holiday and school events. In ALL of them you see every shade of skin and hair. Everyone is happy, having fun and getting along. I had no clue what racism was until life happened and we ended up moving into the projects.
Life was rough until they realized my mother was a druggie and my dad had an endless supply of really good pain pills and I was more than willing to fight back. I got the hell out of the city at 18 and have only gone back to bury my dad.
I'm just speechless. As a child I learned not to talk about feelings, not to feel, not to show. I sit now in the remnants of that. Trying to figure it out anew, half my life gone. He even named his son Cance. I'm just speechless.
I have a new son-in-law who is a Afghan vet and I have learned so much from you, Hutch. I now understand so much better of what he is going through every day and night. I appreciate your honesty and insight into the internal affects upon you from serving your country. You are amazing and I am so impressed by your interaction with your son. You are doing a great job and I wish you the best.
I watched Jack’s video and that was so intense! Then I searched for Hutch’s videos and wow, now I get it what Jack was taking about. Thank you for sharing your story with us Hutch! You’re raising an amazing kid and I wish you guys the best of luck! You guys are incredible ♥️
Who's Jack?

Keep on keeping on brother! As a Former 1/505 3BCT ACO 82nd AB from 01-09 med discharged after eating 3 ak rounds on my last tour in Khost Afghanistan. Things still haven't been the same since that day in oct 09. We all gave some but some gave all and that's what keeps me from going insane over the things seen & done over there. Hutch, Thank you for your service & the inspiration to a lot of us vets. H-Minus & Charlie Mike! 🏴🤘🏼
The way you speak to your son brought tears to my eyes. To be seen and listened to is such a gift. What a beautiful relationship you two will enjoy together for life. ❤
I sobbed watching these two together. Made me realise I’m so grateful for my parents. Hutch models pure love and compassion and most importantly always pushing yourself to be the best person you can be for others. Especially after seeing so many interviews on here where we see how unsafe environments impact people
This is the most pure interview you’ve done it’s crazy how much of a loving person he is it’s very inspiring
Hutch eloquently brings to light the concept that we are all just human at our core. It’s beautiful.
Hutch it's always good to hear from you, thank you for coming back and sharing and being vulnerable. I Get so much from you, thank you!
No truer statement than “let me grieve how I want” you are so aware of yourself and your past and present it’s fucking insane. Forget those who feel you shouldn’t own your true feelings. Be yourself!
I'm without words. What a loving father and son. The kid is so beautiful in every way and Hutch is such a good father. Hutch, I congratulate you for coming such a long, long way and for everything you overcame, you've done such a good job. You are tough and brave. I wish your family all the best
To see how healthy Hutch looks physically, spiritually and emotionally compared to his first interview made my heart swell. You're an incredible man and I hope that you continue to heal and make the best of life. Chance, you are one cool guy and your dad loves you so much, you can see it from a million miles away! You both warmed my heart tonight, and I'm grateful for the message you share with the world - love wins.
hutch mentions tradition.. and also how his father and grandfather were vets. there is such a tradition of military families, and pride in that. and he mentions not wanting to leave someone with a crappy feeling. really appreciate that. and how he says "the feeling stays with you after the thought has come and gone".. wow, such a mouthful. think most of us can relate. let alone the thoughts that loop over and over and you, which you feel you have no control over. yes, how we 'perceive shit' is everything. and knowing 'something' is happening and the part we're playing in that... yes, huge.
Semper Fi Hutch. Served in Fallujah, Iraq 2004/2005 USMC. Thanks for sharing our stories and getting it out there for others to understand 👊🏻💥
Salute to you my brother 🙏🙏 i hope all is well and thank you for serving!!
I am so impressed with you Hutch. Both of the videos I've watched, I'm obsessed with. Keep fighting the fight
Chance is absolutely precious! Thank you for sharing this beautiful bond that you two share. Amazing dad, clever, compassionate son left me with huge Crocodile Tears..
I love the interaction with Chance. It shows what an amazing guy Hutch is. I want him to continue to win at life! We need more Hutches in this world. Hutch and Chance, if you see this, I’m praying for you guys and I think you’re both amazing humans. ❤
Beautiful interview. I love listening to Hutch. His son is a wonderful example of what it means to have a loving dad. Seeing his son Chance was awesome. Thank you Hutch and Chance for sharing what we all need to hear and learn. Thank you Mark.
Ive watched all 3 interviews with Hutch, man... The feels.. But this one had me smiling for 40 minutes straight.. What a treat 'meeting' your lovely son.
When his son came out!! 😭 I’m not crying YALL ARE!! 😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️
The communication hutch has with his son is needed by the world I literally almost started crying it’s one thing to be a good person but a good parent and kid is golden 🥺❤️
How i missed watching this one and hutch’s other video is beyond me. I 😢am full of emotions from tears to a full heart. Chance is a beautiful boy, Hutch is a great dad. I’m
So happy he made it home safely and that he tackles the demons in a healthy way today. This guy is a class act and i love him!
This channel is amazing and is helping thousands, millions of people. Hutch has made a huge impact on others for his amazing words. Keep this site up!~
It's very heartwarming and hopeful when he says that he's proud of the interview
The interview with Jack was heartfelt and real. Hutch pays it forward in the best way he knows to do. God bless 🙌🙏❤
The interaction between Hutch and Chance was just so beautiful. It made me tear up.
What people loved was how completely genuine you are. You also have a great perspective on your life. Keep up the good work!!
I'm bawling seeing Chance! What a beautiful little guy and it is so amazing to see how much love they have for each other 🥰
Someone commented in another video yesterday that the Hutch vids were worth watching. Im glad I've listened to these, Hutch you're a great guy and your son is awesome!
Thank you for your service. Not only in the military but for humanity. I was blown away by your deep insight of war on the first episode. Especially after all you have been through. God bless you and your loved ones. Thank you for sharing.
Watching this video and the previous video of Hutch, and listening to what he had to say made me think so much about my self and life. I can relate in many ways about his thoughts. I haven't seen or experienced in any way the horrific things that Hutch has, but with the things i experienced in my life i can understand when he says his son and girlfriend have been so patient and been there to support and comfort him. I have always wanted that in my life. True unconditional love. I 've always craved that and never felt that. I have been discarded by so many people in my life, because of my actions, reactions without someone ever saying to me, you're ok, i'm here, you'll be ok and i still love you. I have always been made to feel like i'm just crazy, f****d up and I should just deal with it and move on. I know i am a good person, but there has never been anyone in my life, that truely saw that, when the ugly side of me reared its head. Luckily and i don't know how, i have never turned to drugs but i did other things in life that were self destructive that i'm so ashamed of and can't believe some of the decisions I've made. Sitting here today, i realize that I am 59 years old and i really need to get help, or i will never have any healthy relationships in my life and i don't want to die that way. Thank you Hutch and Mark. And i do want to say that when i was younger i used to be that person that would judge a book by its cover, but did learn the hard way that you most certainly can't do that. You have to hear people out and not judge by what you initially see.
His son is so adorable. He's doing a good job with him
One of my absolute favorite interviews. Hutch, I'm grateful there are people like you in the world. You spread healing around like pixie dust. Thank you for being so open and honest. And thank you for doing the work. It helps us all heal.
Hutch, I just watched both your interviews this afternoon. I wish you continued peace and healing. I would be PROUD to have you as a brother or father. You have gained a lot of clarity for what is truly important in life. God Bless You for making these videos. You have made the world a better place. I would love to hear your response to my comment!!
Beautiful Chance!! He looks at his dad with total adoration. Well done Hutch!
Been really enjoying these two Interviews with him. Such a interesting and great guy. Wish him and his son all the best!
Wow! Thank you for this follow-up. Hutch and Chance, your father/son relationship is awesome! Enjoy life to the fullest.❤
Such an interesting analogy of PTSD. A special individual with so much wisdom to share.The love and respect shown between father and son was incredible. Absolutely loved this interview ✌
I watched both of your interviews Hutch and came away wiser. I never served, but you and your son's interactions remind me of me and mine. We also live on Big Island. Would love to hear more wisdom from you. Mahalo.
I'm so happy to see an update on Hutch. I love this guy!!
Chance is an absolute angel 🩷 The world needs more positive people like you! Bless
Chance is a sparkle of joy. Thank you for sharing your most precious. Hang in there Hutch, you are in our prayers and thoughts.
Airborne, I love your story, your transparency, and honesty. I watched your previous video. Live on Brother.
As a young man who’s 25, grew up in LA and use to tell my parents I wasn’t going to live to see age 18 this man has helped me a lot. At 25 I’ve outlived most of friends very few are alive, free, or not strung out. After a failed suicide attempt this channel really helped me acknowledge my pain and hitch really helped me understand that it’s okay to be vulnerable. In today’s society we’re just told to “man up, get a job, stop complaining” thank you mark and hitch for clarity, and helping with my healing process!
I'm glad you're here. I know the pain of attempting suicide. I've been there myself. It's a long hard uphill battle to healing. I hope you're doing well.❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so intrigued by LA and the viscera of humanity it leaves in its wake.
I love you. You’re gonna be ok.
MASSIVE RESPECT from Providence, RI... Your interview was incredible. *Nice haircut Sir! **MARK! Please get Hutch back again, I could listen to him for hours!
Hutch, I am wishing you the best, and praying for you and your family. 🙏✝💖
Thank you for your service.
Hearing Hutch's perspective on things is very eye-opening. Anyone who has experienced anything that they feel "stuck in" needs to hear his story!!
An absolute addition to the world. What he said at the end about thinking his Dad hated him because he got mad at HIM instead of his actions, man such a subtlety and so big of him to make sure he doesn't do that to his son. I definitely grew up thinking my parents hated me, and that did nobody any good. Hutch is the poster boy of good parenting. All the best mate, you're an inspiration.
Fascinating series of interviews with Hutch. I love hearing people talk who are actively doing the work to understand themselves and go deeper in their emotional intelligence so they can grow in a healthy way for both themselves and everyone around them. Deep respect.
Well I have lts of tears. Absolutely love this man. Thank you for your service, for sacrificing parts of yourself that will last your lifetime and BRAVO for being such an awesome father to your absolutely adorable son. You have a whole lot to be proud of.
You learned Zen, my friend. You are a true role model. For any Man who wants to be a good Man. Good on ya. Stay strong and true.
