I listen to you guys while I clean.. makes it hilarious! Also, Eli I wanted to tell you that you guys have given me the confidence to finally get tested for autism. I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with level 1 autism. The jokes I now have from you guys.. gold!! Thank you for making things feel a little lighter. When I first got the results, I sat in my car and cried. Thinking “I’m not fixable” thinking that I’ll never be able to have a romantic relationship because my last relationship ended because they couldn’t deal with my “quirks”. Then the following Saturday, listened to you guys and it made me feel a little better. Thank you from the bottom of my please don’t touch me, f u loud noises heart!
My brother and his wife are both on the spectrum (tbh, so it the rest of our family :P ). They complement one another's quirks so well that it's astounding. They've been married for 14 years, with 8 kids. Love and romance are possible! Keep your head up! Our quirks are a part of what makes us special 🥰
42:25 This is likely the most beautiful gift I have ever heard of someone giving. I teared up hearing Jack say this. The things that are worth fighting for and the means by which to defend them are so important and should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
Back in the 90's i was priveleged to goto a Confederate Airforce events (now called Commemorative Airforce). I sat with a survivor of the USS Indianapololis and listened to his stories over a meal. The music picked up and the old vets got up and started dancing with their wives and man they had some moves. What an incredible generation. Take the time to meet them and talk to them before they are all gone. No bullshit they went through a series of world event over a 40 year period that hopefully noone will ever see again.
Bro, same. I’m done with the first and am working on the second in the series. Still waiting on finding some love in the agent representation world while I work.
@Blayda1 I’d consider it if I can’t find somebody but for now I’m holding out to go the traditional route. From what I’ve been told it’s a long road with lots of rejection and I’m not the quitting type
@@jwilliams3170 Self publishing isnt quitting , its getting your work out there for people to see and appreciate. I get it though you want to go the traditional route. Good luck .
Love Jack's books but I have one beef with him. He has really short chapters so it cons me into thinking I can knock out one more 5 page chapter before going to bed, then a fight inevitably breaks out and I have to spend the next 45 minutes reading about the fight and the aftermath. Wrecks my sleep schedule. But seriously the books are awesome
My grandmother was born and raised in Honolulu, she was 11 when pearl harbor was attacked. My great grandfather worked at the harbor and she told me that after the initial attack he was given a rifle and told to shoot any plane that wasn't American. My great grandmother, grandmother, aunties and uncles brought food everyday for weeks during the rescue attempts and cleanup. She said the most vivid memory was that the rescuers had a hard time pulling people out of the water, in part, because so many sharks showed up. She told me that story, and others, many times before she passed.
My grandfather was stationed at an island 15 minutes from Pearl Harbor. He was a diver and part of the rescue crew immediately following the bombing. He said the island he was on shook so badly he almost pooped his pants. lol. He was recorded by my mom 3 years ago telling my mom that the rescue was so horrific he had to drink to forget.
I would love to see y'all start or support an oral history project. It's heartbreaking seeing how many Vietnam Vets are starting to look as old as WW2 Vets when I was growing up and many have never had a chance to tell their stories. Not just war stories but personal , regional history, small business stories
As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, this is a fantastic idea. I never got to meet grandfather who fought in WW2 so ive always listened to the stories of the old men still with us.
Even in Band of Brothers during the D-Day jump in Ep 2 Muck says in the stick “if we get any lower we ain’t gonna need any friggin parachutes” Brandon talking at 32:46
I've seen 90% of these podcasts and this one is definitely one of my favorites. The only thing that would make this better would be the Fat Electrician to be in it also. Jack Carr is awesome and I could listen to him talk for hours. Thank you guys for having him on.
Eli, I just (finally) noticed the shirt you were wearing on the Ghostbed ad w/King Trout. 🤣🤣 'Boop the Tiger...' and the fact that tigers 🐅 don't have horns...priceless!
Great episode, My grandfather was at Normandy and I knew at a younger age it would be a shame to lose his stories. So a buddy of mine and I built a website in honor of him. I interviewed my grandfather with a tape recorder as he told me stories of his time during WWII. We then put it to WWII video footage of the war. This was then put on youtube back in 2013. It took me 2 months to put everything together , unfortunately my grandfather never got to see the final site, he died one month after my last recorded interview. Time is of the essence with this great generation that we still have some limited access to, don't waste it. Miss ya grandpa "Lucky Sorrentino" , you will never be forgotten.
Just gonna add here, I know soldiers who were on the deployment that got turned around at the airport. One of my NCOs was there when it happened. It was an infranty unit with the MN Guard 34th ID. They were on deployment for 16 months and got turned back for another 6 and lost guys during those last 6. The first time I ever saw that absolute unit of a man cry in front of me was when he shared those memories with us. Other than that loved Terminal List, Jack Carr you are talented.
A few of the people I deployed with in 2011 were part of the 22 month deployment. Also my squad leader when I transferred back to my home unit was part of it. I was 134th BSB deployed with 1-194 AR CAB
My grandpa passed in 2022, he was a teenager and lived across the harbour from Fort Pearl. He joined the Navy within a few weeks of it happening he never told war stories or anything, but I did a paper in high school about it, he told me the story of climbing on the roof with a friend and his dads shot gun and shot at the zeros as the buzzed pretty low over his house while his dad as a civilian worker at the base ran to the base. It was an amazing story
I never miss an episode, every saturday I watch on youtube, and I listen to the newest episodes at work so I can catch parts I may have missed the first time. This podcast deserves all the growth. this community is amazing

I'm guessing the home invasion story was Gavin's from slow-mo guys. He definitely has since become a firearm owner if so. They are happy to do gun content now, and are a lot more 2a friendly.
@@tdanger6013 Yeah. RT dissolving has allowed all of them to be themselves on camera (or audio I guess) a lot more than they could before. Hope to see them take advantage of that more in the near future.
Yeah when Eli mentioned it immediately I knew who he was referring to, horrific situation and I'm glad they're OK. Given that Gavin and Dan do alot of stuff with Kentucky Ballistics... Possible guest?
I assumed this was about Gavin Free and the situation with the crazy guy who was wanting Meg given how specific it was. Separating from that situation it is cool seeing how they are somehow associated with these guys.
It's so great to have Jack on the podcast, I am finally getting around to Red Storm Rising. Really cool to see Tom Clancy affecting someone other than myself. As always awesome to have this podcast in my life. Certainly helped me get through some hard times.
OMG the feeling of elation when I wake up on Saturday morning and Unsub is already here to brighten my day.. better than Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, fellas 😅
Man, my Favorite author on my favorite podcast. Jack is amazing, I have all of his books and I have the pre order on the non fiction. Thank you all for making this happen.
I live in south africa and recently got into the black powder community here and so many of them were Rhodesian army love hearing thier stories. One of my teachers in school was Rhodesian army and told my so many stories that he really should not have been telling a student. Mostly was counter insurgent tactics and information extraction.
My FIL was a medic attached to an artillery unit for the Rhodesian Army. He has tragic stories, but also hilarious stories. For his Christmas present a couple years ago, I custom made him a Gunfire Box for his morning salute to his fallen but not forgotten brothers. The Rhodesian Army Men were a badass group of men.
I remember years ago I went to the anniversary of the Doolittle raid and got to meet one of the last men who were on one of the B-25s and the stories he told was an experience I'll never forget. Unfortunately, he has since passed but I just remember standing at a little airfield in Urbana Ohio and everyone was gathered around this one man who has had more experience in one lifetime than most will.
When I got home after the Navy I interviewed my surviving grandpa about his experiences in the Navy during the war. He was a radioman/gunner on a PBY Catalina flying antisubmarine patrols out of Rio de Janeiro. We recorded it and sent it to the WW2 Museum in New Orleans. My other grandpa unfortunately passed when I was a teenager but was also a Navy radioman in the Pacific.
my great-grandpa served in the navy during WW2 in the navy as a tail-gunner on PB4Y-2 and my grandpa wrote down his story. this December he'll be 102 years old.
My step-father was a merchant mariner during WW2. He could join a year earlier than the Navy so he started riding oil tankers from Houston to England. He told of watching tankers in his convoy get torpedoed and burn. The fire would silhouette the other ships and make it easier for the Germans. I cannot imagine the terror of working on a floating bomb, down in a hot steamy engine room knowing if torpedoed you had zero chance of getting out escaping the burning oil and high octane aircraft fuel and hoping to get picked up by a destroyer since the other ships could not stop to pick you up... if you were still alive. The merchant marines had a higher casualty rate than the D Day soldiers. I heard the few stories he would/could tell and now wish I had recorded them. (Along with his growing up during the Great Depression. ) Of course his service was not recognized until many decades later so during Korea they drafted him. Thankfully, sorta, they sent him to Germany. He had issues having watched his friends get killed by German subs for many decades later. Today he is buried in a National cemetery. Both his MM service and his Army service are on his tombstone. Miss ya, Lee.
@ appox 56:30mins; Jack was saying Dept. of War, then Dept. of Defense. I propose the name 'Department of Total Annihilation!'(with the exclamation)! With p.s. don't touch our boats! F.A.A.F.O.!(*fool* around and find out)
Amazing episode! Thanks guys! Can't wait to read the most recent offering from Jack Carr! Is Jack not part of the Offenders? I wanted to hear what his super power was!
Thank you for doing this interview l thought this was one of the best podcasts you’ve done because of how real you all were with Jack you could tell that you were all fans of his books
Jack sounds like he was talking about 172d Stryker BDE and us being recalled with 2 of our BNs being BOG back in Alaska.....and most of us found out about the recall in a DFAC while waiting for a "new flight" after a stop movement order being issued .
I love how you had someone hovering in the background at two points. That's a good sign if someone not involved in the podcast just wants to hang out in the background and just listen. 🤣
Great interview. Yes the dark humor and the "community" 🍺 is amazing. It truly is a community of people being postive to strangers. Really refreshing to see.
What, so he can derail the podcast to rant loudly and aggressively about something someone mentioned in passing and make them regret talking? So he can brag about how lazy he was in the service? Look, he's great in small doses but my god he takes up a lot of space and energy
Guys, seriously, the TH-cam ads are every 5 minutes, that's kinda ridiculous. When I found you guys a little bit ago, you didn't have TH-cam ads, I LOVED it. I thought it was a genius move, you get a sponsor, turn off TH-cam ads, and you give us an amazing, uninterrupted experience. Sorry, but I can't walk over to my phone to push a button every 5 minutes if I'm working on stuff, I love you guys, but I'm not watching anymore because of TH-cam ads.
Great to see three time medal of honor, and purple heart recipient commander herrera, has time to bless us with his presence. Thank you for your service ❤
Hey you guys as somebody myself who is on the "tism" i appreciate all youve done on and off the podcast but my great uncle was on normandy beach at omaha as combat engineer he never talked about it much but i would go the extra mile to have him share the stories...because once he sadly goes NOBODY will take carry the torch for the next generation to understand and preserve
OH NO!...ok, I will not say do not ''buy the series" but I will say do not break the spine on the 1st book. bc you may really , really want to return it when you realize just how differently it was written compared to what you would expect. That is all I will say. After watching the last videos back when the series came out, I was super excited to buy the books and....it was an instant regret thing. Everyone on here is just busy trying to get on the gravy train, that's all.
@@andrabook8758 Did you read more than one book? I prefered the book for a few things (plot, ending etc.) and the show for others (Taylor Kitsch's portrayal of Ben was much better than the book counterpart). I read the first three books long before the show came out and loved them (and I've since read up to the latest book). I don't think you can speak for everyone. If you didn't enjoy the book compared to the show (or vice versa) that's fine but don't try and discourage people from trying it for themselves.
My favorite fact of the Tom Clancy stuff is the Military came to him and asked how he was so precise on some of the ships and military stuff in his books, but it was all from his head, not any TS Docs
I got a couple stories from my grandfather before he passed. He was in an armored division under Patton. I need Nic to try and dig up info on his unit because I can't find any information of it even existing. And the Pentagon also lost his discharge papers in a "fire".
My grandfather was a medium tank crewman in WW2. He was a career soldier, staying in like 24ish years. Like 3 or 4 of his kids were born in Germany. He did WW2, Korea, got out just before Vietnam, but got recalled and ended up going. When he passed in '93 from cancer due to Agent Orange, we got the whole run around about a fire and then a flood conveniently destroying all his paperwork. Someone did manage to dig up one piece of paperwork, but I'm not sure how. His demobalization papers after WW2. He was in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardeness, Central Europe, battles and campaigns. I don't know what his unit was, it says Army Ground Forces Board No. 2 Detachment but that doesn't sound like a unit. Anyway, because this is the only piece of paper we could find, he only got recognition for his time in WW2. I think I remember hearing he did an MOS change in the 24 years, but without paperwork, there's no telling. Wish I knew more but he refused to ever speak of the military after his time of service.
@@jl4093 I got the same story about my grandfather's record. My dad had his dd-214 apparently with Patton's signature. Then my dad's house was burnt down. I have my grandfather's death certificate and it just has his address and name on it. On his head stone it reads private- 3554 svc cmd unit.
Sadly, the DoD and VA did lose millions of records in a massive fire. The VA has spent years and untold millions trying to recreate the records of those soldiers and digitize all veteran records so they are searchable. My brothers company provides the database software that the VA uses. He has spent more than 15 years working with the VA on this project. He will retire before its completion.
My older brother is autistic. He has never left my mother's side. He is 51 years old. Thank you for what you donated to the foundations. Big fan of all 4 of you .
I liked The Terminal List, I know lots of people were hating on it but the only issue I had was to do with the fight that took place in the hospital MRI room. Places like that have very strict rules about bringing metallic objects (like guns and knives) anywhere near them for a very good reason.
@@zakofrx I believe Carr just spoke about what's coming up next on Joe Rogan. If I remember correctly, they are making a terminal list season 2, but Carr learned a lot from his last couple projects and he wants to be more hands on. It might take longer to get it, but I think it will be an even more improved show.
@@lordfordificationthey're doing a prequel show with Ben, not James Reese Edit at the end of the episode he talks about how there starting season 2 true believer in 2025
I really liked the show and I even saw some people react to it (I think they were green berets) and they were just flaming it and I’m just here thinking “am I just dumb?”
Jack Carr being the first Navy SEAL to write a book about SEALs? Hardly. Both Richard Marcinko and Gene Wentz wrote books about SEALs before Jack Carr joined the Navy.
@@jeffbrowning4684 Nope. He wrote "Rogue Warrior" while he was doing time for some BS charges about "Mishandling Navy resources". Thing is, the hate Navy brass had for him was widespread. He was neither friendly nor easygoing. Bullied Navy commanders to get his way while he was shaping ST6 up. At the time, the Army, Navy and US Air Force's brass were comprised of former Vietnam era commanders who hated that their resources were syphoned away by a " bunch of ragtag misfits that didn't answer to their command". The main example of this was none other than the late Norman Schwarzkopf(He didn't mind having a Delta escort while in Desert Storm, though) The fact that Marcinko went to the extreme when he commanded "Red Cell" and his outfit showed the defficiences of Naval Base security and leadership certainly didn't help. The very second he stopped being under the umbrella of "answering only to National Command Authority" the brass went after his skin. Got him on BS charges which would cost him six months in the Brig tops and stepped them to eighteen with loss of rank and pay. Yet they couldn't dishonorably discharge him and kept his pension."Rogue Warrior" was published after he got out from the Navy. All told, he served for 25 years.
Also I’m really going to through it right now, just broke a 2year engagement and trying to figure out what I’m supposed to do now.

Fun fact, HK made factory semi auto MP7A1's for the film industry. Some of which made it onto the Canadian civilian market when a film armorer closed down. IIRC it was only around 10 total. I saw one go up for private sale years ago for $36kCAD (~25kUSD) it wasn't up for very long.
Jack, I'm looking forward to reading your books. Also, leaving a story not quite complete is OK if it's mostly done, and Can be an open end. And leaving it open and not finishing, is an opening for a new novel. Just check how Clancy's novels end...🤔🤨, but do they!?!
The Scooby Doo chase scene in the background with people randomly appearing from various doors throughout the podcast was actually kinda funny. I’m not complaining. I suspect this is how it is behind the cameras normally.

Now that youve had Jack, you NEED to get Chris Pratt. I think he would be an amazing guest to have on the podcast. Chris is such a down to earth human. I think he would click really well with the 4 hosts.

Might be a good idea when you're at a new place to tape out the sightlines of the cams, so the goofball sightings don't happen.

He said the island he was on shook so badly he almost pooped his pants. lol. He was recorded by my mom 3 years ago telling my mom that the rescue was so horrific he had to drink to forget.
Rogan has 15 million subs,Jack went from Rogan to Unsubscribed! These guys Need to get to a million STAT!!!❤♾️🇺🇸
I would love to see y'all start or support an oral history project. It's heartbreaking seeing how many Vietnam Vets are starting to look as old as WW2 Vets when I was growing up and many have never had a chance to tell their stories. Not just war stories but personal , regional history, small business stories
That would be awesome
As the daughter of a Vietnam vet, this is a fantastic idea. I never got to meet grandfather who fought in WW2 so ive always listened to the stories of the old men still with us.
Pennsylvania local access cable back in the day recorded hundreds of hours of WW2 veterans stories, amazing to listen to
Jack is out in full force promoting his latest book AND I love it.
Even in Band of Brothers during the D-Day jump in Ep 2 Muck says in the stick “if we get any lower we ain’t gonna need any friggin parachutes”
Brandon talking at 32:46
Such a great series
I've seen 90% of these podcasts and this one is definitely one of my favorites. The only thing that would make this better would be the Fat Electrician to be in it also. Jack Carr is awesome and I could listen to him talk for hours. Thank you guys for having him on.
Eli, I just (finally) noticed the shirt you were wearing on the Ghostbed ad w/King Trout. 🤣🤣 'Boop the Tiger...' and the fact that tigers 🐅 don't have horns...priceless!
Great episode, My grandfather was at Normandy and I knew at a younger age it would be a shame to lose his stories. So a buddy of mine and I built a website in honor of him. I interviewed my grandfather with a tape recorder as he told me stories of his time during WWII. We then put it to WWII video footage of the war. This was then put on youtube back in 2013. It took me 2 months to put everything together , unfortunately my grandfather never got to see the final site, he died one month after my last recorded interview. Time is of the essence with this great generation that we still have some limited access to, don't waste it. Miss ya grandpa "Lucky Sorrentino" , you will never be forgotten.
Who is this creeper guy who keeps walking by 😂 just keep seeing dude in a brown shirt walking by he’s cracking me up
I need a new bingo card with the guests y’all’ve been getting
I love brandon's purple heart storie at jump school😂😂😂
I’m swiggin whiskey when Eli said 👀”take a shot” and I WAAYYYY underestimated the amount left in my glass WHOOOOO
I took a shot of coom.
Just gonna add here, I know soldiers who were on the deployment that got turned around at the airport. One of my NCOs was there when it happened. It was an infranty unit with the MN Guard 34th ID. They were on deployment for 16 months and got turned back for another 6 and lost guys during those last 6. The first time I ever saw that absolute unit of a man cry in front of me was when he shared those memories with us. Other than that loved Terminal List, Jack Carr you are talented.
A few of the people I deployed with in 2011 were part of the 22 month deployment. Also my squad leader when I transferred back to my home unit was part of it. I was 134th BSB deployed with 1-194 AR CAB
My grandpa passed in 2022, he was a teenager and lived across the harbour from Fort Pearl. He joined the Navy within a few weeks of it happening he never told war stories or anything, but I did a paper in high school about it, he told me the story of climbing on the roof with a friend and his dads shot gun and shot at the zeros as the buzzed pretty low over his house while his dad as a civilian worker at the base ran to the base. It was an amazing story
I never miss an episode, every saturday I watch on youtube, and I listen to the newest episodes at work so I can catch parts I may have missed the first time. This podcast deserves all the growth. this community is amazing
Watch this on Pepperbox yesterday, another great show!!
25:22 one of the original paratroopers from Band of Brothers said infantry pay was $50, and he didn’t sign up for airborne until the recruiter said you got an extra $50 for airborne
I'm guessing the home invasion story was Gavin's from slow-mo guys. He definitely has since become a firearm owner if so. They are happy to do gun content now, and are a lot more 2a friendly.
Joel was right.
I was thinking the same. The RT community was vicious and hateful about anything those guys did in their free time.
@@tdanger6013
Yeah. RT dissolving has allowed all of them to be themselves on camera (or audio I guess) a lot more than they could before.
Hope to see them take advantage of that more in the near future.
Yeah when Eli mentioned it immediately I knew who he was referring to, horrific situation and I'm glad they're OK.
Given that Gavin and Dan do alot of stuff with Kentucky Ballistics...
Possible guest?
I assumed this was about Gavin Free and the situation with the crazy guy who was wanting Meg given how specific it was.
Separating from that situation it is cool seeing how they are somehow associated with these guys.
It's so great to have Jack on the podcast, I am finally getting around to Red Storm Rising. Really cool to see Tom Clancy affecting someone other than myself.
As always awesome to have this podcast in my life. Certainly helped me get through some hard times.
You guys need to come to Australia and bring Nick so we can fight him on the metric system 😂
You can call the show
Nick vs Australia
😂 freedom fractions 100%
Slowly getting caught back up! You guys are awesome and now I have a new show to watch! Love you guys
OMG the feeling of elation when I wake up on Saturday morning and Unsub is already here to brighten my day.. better than Saturday morning cartoons as a kid, fellas 😅
Man, my Favorite author on my favorite podcast. Jack is amazing, I have all of his books and I have the pre order on the non fiction. Thank you all for making this happen.
I live in south africa and recently got into the black powder community here and so many of them were Rhodesian army love hearing thier stories.
One of my teachers in school was Rhodesian army and told my so many stories that he really should not have been telling a student. Mostly was counter insurgent tactics and information extraction.
My FIL was a medic attached to an artillery unit for the Rhodesian Army.
He has tragic stories, but also hilarious stories. For his Christmas present a couple years ago, I custom made him a Gunfire Box for his morning salute to his fallen but not forgotten brothers.
The Rhodesian Army Men were a badass group of men.
I remember years ago I went to the anniversary of the Doolittle raid and got to meet one of the last men who were on one of the B-25s and the stories he told was an experience I'll never forget. Unfortunately, he has since passed but I just remember standing at a little airfield in Urbana Ohio and everyone was gathered around this one man who has had more experience in one lifetime than most will.
Why is donut so relatable 💀 without fail hes always saying some real
When I got home after the Navy I interviewed my surviving grandpa about his experiences in the Navy during the war. He was a radioman/gunner on a PBY Catalina flying antisubmarine patrols out of Rio de Janeiro. We recorded it and sent it to the WW2 Museum in New Orleans. My other grandpa unfortunately passed when I was a teenager but was also a Navy radioman in the Pacific.
my great-grandpa served in the navy during WW2 in the navy as a tail-gunner on PB4Y-2 and my grandpa wrote down his story. this December he'll be 102 years old.
My step-father was a merchant mariner during WW2. He could join a year earlier than the Navy so he started riding oil tankers from Houston to England. He told of watching tankers in his convoy get torpedoed and burn. The fire would silhouette the other ships and make it easier for the Germans. I cannot imagine the terror of working on a floating bomb, down in a hot steamy engine room knowing if torpedoed you had zero chance of getting out escaping the burning oil and high octane aircraft fuel and hoping to get picked up by a destroyer since the other ships could not stop to pick you up... if you were still alive. The merchant marines had a higher casualty rate than the D Day soldiers. I heard the few stories he would/could tell and now wish I had recorded them. (Along with his growing up during the Great Depression. )
Of course his service was not recognized until many decades later so during Korea they drafted him. Thankfully, sorta, they sent him to Germany. He had issues having watched his friends get killed by German subs for many decades later.
Today he is buried in a National cemetery. Both his MM service and his Army service are on his tombstone. Miss ya, Lee.
I love listening to this podcast while I do home chores. It makes the monotonous tasks that much better when you can laugh too. Thanks guys!
Best part of my Saturday!!!!!!
42:31 one of my favorite story I’ve heard from The Terminal List Podcast and it always gives me goosebumps!
Ok whoever that was leaving as everything was starting is some of the best unintentional comedy I’ve seen in a while 😂
Can’t believe Jack came on this podcast new side of him and it’s awesome!
@ appox 56:30mins; Jack was saying Dept. of War, then Dept. of Defense. I propose the name 'Department of Total Annihilation!'(with the exclamation)! With p.s. don't touch our boats! F.A.A.F.O.!(*fool* around and find out)
Loved this one! Gave Jack a follow on Audible and am stoked to listen to his nonfiction about Beirut! Thanks for having him on
Just love how you can see Savanna talking to people in the reflection behind Donut lmao
I scrolled looking to see who noticed
Amazing episode! Thanks guys! Can't wait to read the most recent offering from Jack Carr! Is Jack not part of the Offenders? I wanted to hear what his super power was!
11:06 unicorn in the background 😂
I was in basic training when 9/11 happened. We also all were mentally prepping to get in as soon as possible.
Love to see the behind the scenes in the background
Thank you for doing this interview l thought this was one of the best podcasts you’ve done because of how real you all were with Jack you could tell that you were all fans of his books
Jack sounds like he was talking about 172d Stryker BDE and us being recalled with 2 of our BNs being BOG back in Alaska.....and most of us found out about the recall in a DFAC while waiting for a "new flight" after a stop movement order being issued .
I love how you had someone hovering in the background at two points. That's a good sign if someone not involved in the podcast just wants to hang out in the background and just listen. 🤣
Great interview. Yes the dark humor and the "community" 🍺 is amazing. It truly is a community of people being postive to strangers. Really refreshing to see.
I feel like we are missing some one cough cough (fat electrician)
What, so he can derail the podcast to rant loudly and aggressively about something someone mentioned in passing and make them regret talking? So he can brag about how lazy he was in the service?
Look, he's great in small doses but my god he takes up a lot of space and energy
@@MiaogisTeasyour opinion is just wrong
@@MiaogisTeasyeah no, u couldn’t be more wrong 😂
Guys, seriously, the TH-cam ads are every 5 minutes, that's kinda ridiculous. When I found you guys a little bit ago, you didn't have TH-cam ads, I LOVED it. I thought it was a genius move, you get a sponsor, turn off TH-cam ads, and you give us an amazing, uninterrupted experience. Sorry, but I can't walk over to my phone to push a button every 5 minutes if I'm working on stuff, I love you guys, but I'm not watching anymore because of TH-cam ads.
Great to see three time medal of honor, and purple heart recipient commander herrera, has time to bless us with his presence. Thank you for your service ❤
Hey you guys as somebody myself who is on the "tism" i appreciate all youve done on and off the podcast but my great uncle was on normandy beach at omaha as combat engineer he never talked about it much but i would go the extra mile to have him share the stories...because once he sadly goes NOBODY will take carry the torch for the next generation to understand and preserve
Whelp!... now I gotta go buy all the Jack Carr books.
Highly recommend :)
OH NO!...ok, I will not say do not ''buy the series" but I will say do not break the spine on the 1st book. bc you may really , really want to return it when you realize just how differently it was written compared to what you would expect. That is all I will say. After watching the last videos back when the series came out, I was super excited to buy the books and....it was an instant regret thing. Everyone on here is just busy trying to get on the gravy train, that's all.
@@andrabook8758 Did you read more than one book?
I prefered the book for a few things (plot, ending etc.) and the show for others (Taylor Kitsch's portrayal of Ben was much better than the book counterpart).
I read the first three books long before the show came out and loved them (and I've since read up to the latest book). I don't think you can speak for everyone. If you didn't enjoy the book compared to the show (or vice versa) that's fine but don't try and discourage people from trying it for themselves.
My favorite fact of the Tom Clancy stuff is the Military came to him and asked how he was so precise on some of the ships and military stuff in his books, but it was all from his head, not any TS Docs
I got a couple stories from my grandfather before he passed. He was in an armored division under Patton. I need Nic to try and dig up info on his unit because I can't find any information of it even existing. And the Pentagon also lost his discharge papers in a "fire".
My grandfather was a medium tank crewman in WW2. He was a career soldier, staying in like 24ish years. Like 3 or 4 of his kids were born in Germany. He did WW2, Korea, got out just before Vietnam, but got recalled and ended up going. When he passed in '93 from cancer due to Agent Orange, we got the whole run around about a fire and then a flood conveniently destroying all his paperwork. Someone did manage to dig up one piece of paperwork, but I'm not sure how. His demobalization papers after WW2. He was in Normandy, Northern France, Rhineland, Ardeness, Central Europe, battles and campaigns. I don't know what his unit was, it says Army Ground Forces Board No. 2 Detachment but that doesn't sound like a unit. Anyway, because this is the only piece of paper we could find, he only got recognition for his time in WW2. I think I remember hearing he did an MOS change in the 24 years, but without paperwork, there's no telling. Wish I knew more but he refused to ever speak of the military after his time of service.
@@jl4093 I got the same story about my grandfather's record. My dad had his dd-214 apparently with Patton's signature. Then my dad's house was burnt down. I have my grandfather's death certificate and it just has his address and name on it. On his head stone it reads private- 3554 svc cmd unit.
Sadly, the DoD and VA did lose millions of records in a massive fire. The VA has spent years and untold millions trying to recreate the records of those soldiers and digitize all veteran records so they are searchable. My brothers company provides the database software that the VA uses. He has spent more than 15 years working with the VA on this project. He will retire before its completion.
Why did y’all have to tease the offenders and not do it I just got edged for 2 hours with no climax
Yall should do pay per view live shows for those of us that can’t go to the actual live shows and because it’s basically free money
I love Saturdays. There is only Unsubscribe.
Seeing Savannah in the background is so distracting when you're trying to listen to Jack Carr tell a story. 😅
🤣so it’s not just me
@BINX-RR she is very distracting 😋 😂
My older brother is autistic. He has never left my mother's side. He is 51 years old. Thank you for what you donated to the foundations. Big fan of all 4 of you .
I liked The Terminal List, I know lots of people were hating on it but the only issue I had was to do with the fight that took place in the hospital MRI room. Places like that have very strict rules about bringing metallic objects (like guns and knives) anywhere near them for a very good reason.
Great season..
Don't know why their is No second book season yet..
Its one of the few shows I can trust won't go all woke ..
@@zakofrxCuz Chris Pratt is one of the biggest movie stars right now and I bet you he wanted a couple extra zeros to do another season
@@zakofrx I believe Carr just spoke about what's coming up next on Joe Rogan. If I remember correctly, they are making a terminal list season 2, but Carr learned a lot from his last couple projects and he wants to be more hands on. It might take longer to get it, but I think it will be an even more improved show.
@@lordfordificationthey're doing a prequel show with Ben, not James Reese
Edit
at the end of the episode he talks about how there starting season 2 true believer in 2025
I really liked the show and I even saw some people react to it (I think they were green berets) and they were just flaming it and I’m just here thinking “am I just dumb?”
I will forever use this episode to help me sleep when I have too much energy
Let’s see how unhinged this week is 😂😂😂
I was not expecting this episode. But I'm looking forward to listening to it.
Jack Carr being the first Navy SEAL to write a book about SEALs?
Hardly.
Both Richard Marcinko and Gene Wentz wrote books about SEALs before Jack Carr joined the Navy.
Yeah, I saw the thumbnail and went "What about Rogue Warrior?"
Tricky Dick and Clancy were my go to in the late 80s early nineties hell yeah
Marcinko even faced costs martial for it.
@@jeffbrowning4684 Nope. He wrote "Rogue Warrior" while he was doing time for some BS charges about "Mishandling Navy resources". Thing is, the hate Navy brass had for him was widespread. He was neither friendly nor easygoing. Bullied Navy commanders to get his way while he was shaping ST6 up. At the time, the Army, Navy and US Air Force's brass were comprised of former Vietnam era commanders who hated that their resources were syphoned away by a " bunch of ragtag misfits that didn't answer to their command". The main example of this was none other than the late Norman Schwarzkopf(He didn't mind having a Delta escort while in Desert Storm, though) The fact that Marcinko went to the extreme when he commanded "Red Cell" and his outfit showed the defficiences of Naval Base security and leadership certainly didn't help. The very second he stopped being under the umbrella of "answering only to National Command Authority" the brass went after his skin. Got him on BS charges which would cost him six months in the Brig tops and stepped them to eighteen with loss of rank and pay. Yet they couldn't dishonorably discharge him and kept his pension."Rogue Warrior" was published after he got out from the Navy. All told, he served for 25 years.
I have a ton of veterans at the retirement home I work at, it's awesome to talk with them when I see them
Also I’m really going to through it right now, just broke a 2year engagement and trying to figure out what I’m supposed to do now. Need to sleep for my night shift but can’t sleep so I said “I need my boys so I’m not drinking alone” and I open up my YT to see my boys dropped just in time❤❤❤
I fuckin love you guys, and all you stand for. Your support for eachother, your audience, and just society in general is so genuine and beautiful. I’m glad to have been a part of this community since like ep20-30, how far you’ve come and have happy I am that if nothing else I can come to you guys and just hang out, and feel a part of something.
Thank you 🫡🫢😘🫢😘
Always amazed at the education and entertainment.
Thank you.
TH-cam sucks. No notifications and then they make you sift through all the other episodes to find the new one.
I'm starting to think it's a way to nudge people into "joining" channels for a subscription. Hopefully Pepperbox gets big.
I got it recommended to me just fine but a few creators i have this issue with
@@lilfattcatt7758 it only suggests older stuff to me now. I used to get notifications every week but now I’m lucky if I get one once a month
@@lordfordification yea that’s a possibility but I kinda don’t see the guys doing that. It’s not just unsub though. It’s everything that TH-cam deems “naughty”
@@longtallzach9you can just go to the channel and sort by newest
I'm a father of 6, and watching Ryden getting that excited on everyone that supported his channel and commented making him that excited actually caused me to cry!! It was such a pure and beautiful moment that started to restore my faith in people!! I have been stuck so long just believing that people suck but that was such a beautiful moment that just proves that there is still good out there!!!
11:18 is a convenient camera angle.
Wat u mean? Lol. Its just donut talking. Savannah looks amazing in the background about 8 seconds prior to that, but don’t know what u mean about the 11:18 time stamp
Fun fact, HK made factory semi auto MP7A1's for the film industry. Some of which made it onto the Canadian civilian market when a film armorer closed down.
IIRC it was only around 10 total. I saw one go up for private sale years ago for $36kCAD (~25kUSD) it wasn't up for very long.
First
Jack, I'm looking forward to reading your books. Also, leaving a story not quite complete is OK if it's mostly done, and Can be an open end. And leaving it open and not finishing, is an opening for a new novel. Just check how Clancy's novels end...🤔🤨, but do they!?!
The Scooby Doo chase scene in the background with people randomly appearing from various doors throughout the podcast was actually kinda funny. I’m not complaining. I suspect this is how it is behind the cameras normally.
Hey guys I have a favor to ask I'm looking to promote some American legions I go to I would love to have u guys film a podcast episode at post 103 here in punta Gorda Florida and would love for u guys to do a podcast at h.c.v.v.o Howard county Vietnam veterans organization it's in Kokomo Indiana I would be honored and grateful if u guys would come visit and help promote these American legions plus I'm willing to pay for all the drinks thank u for reading my comment and again from a son of the legion I'm truly grateful to having u guys help promote those post sincerely Shane "Boston"
Guys.
He isn't remotely the first SEAL to write a book. Rogue Warrior by Richard Marcinko came out in 1992. He served 3 tours in Vietnam as a SEAL.
Now that youve had Jack, you NEED to get Chris Pratt. I think he would be an amazing guest to have on the podcast. Chris is such a down to earth human. I think he would click really well with the 4 hosts.
My grandfather was 17 and landed on the beach in the armored division. 🇺🇸
law abiding citizen goes hard in the paint
I always listen for comedy and inspiration to keep making videos. Didn't expect to end up fighting back tears thinking of my grandfather storming Normandy
Might be a good idea when you're at a new place to tape out the sightlines of the cams, so the goofball sightings don't happen. I like seeing the lovely Irish lass on cam, good people, and a Sav appearance is never unwelcome, I'm not sure who that dude is, but I bet he'll be off cam next time. Love you fellas btw, great episode.
You guys keep crushing it! Huge fan of Jack Carr and his books
Thank you for acknowledging the staggering amount of 'Failing Upwards'
It has swept the civilian sector as well & it's disgusting.
Finally remembered where I had seen him from. The shootout on the show. Super cool.
