    I didn't know Rob had his own podcast until a couple days ago... So far, I'm on episode 3, and I'm diggin' it... Aaand I think this is gonna turn into a binge. Gonna watch every single episode, back to back to back, and I'm not coming up for air until I'm all caught up. And that's about as high of a compliment I can pay anyone's podcast.

    I have you as my Cell wallpaper. I can honestly say I became a fan not for what you're best known for but for the time you were on a talk show here on TH-cam and I listened to you for over 3 hours, and it was the best interview I have ever heard. You talked about the Government and why everything was left all of that equipment in the hands of the enemy. I believe it was something like $80,000,000.00 in all kinds of American Military Equipment. It was all well said. Thank you for that interview. God Bless You.

    There's talking to the camera and then there's speaking directly to the viewer. Rob is very good at the latter. I don't think that's easy to do.

    The tee shirt that said “it’s not a beer belly it’s a gas tank for a s€x machine” I bought my grandpa one of those in the late 90’s in Florida as a joke it was a triple x in size lol can’t help but wonder if it made its way over there some how after going to the goodwill years later?!?!

    Everything he said is accurate, we don’t fight wars anymore we do politics.

    • @cartesian_doubt6230
      @cartesian_doubt6230 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nonsense. 21 years with the latest and greatest weaponry available and we still weren't able to beat the Taliban. We lost because it was an unwinnable war. You can't defeat an indigenous people. They will just wait you out because they know you wont stay forever. It happened in Vietnam and now again in Afghanistan.

    • @Lucid925
      @Lucid925 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@cartesian_doubt6230 but doesn't that come down to politics? Because if it came down to a matter of training and attrition only we would have beat them no questions asked. In fact, at the beginning of the war, we pretty much did defeat the taliban but then all of our resources went from Afghanistan to Iraq.

    • @josephobrien942
      @josephobrien942 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Are you kidding me, we lost because of the ROE. Nation building my ass, we won then lost because of politics. It happened in VietNam the same way, ROE, look it up.

You have a really interesting way of painting pictures with words so that everyone in the room can understand the gravity of certain situations you and your fellow teammates were in. Awesome ride thus far and looking forward to hearing more. Salute!

    Rob, I have a Team 2 Patch A real one given to me by an Operator. I am not a SEAL I would like to share it with you, its from AFG 2011-2014. I worked for a bunch of great ODA teams. It seems very cool watching this that we might have been at the same place at the same time in time doing the same cool stuff. Thank you for explaining all what it takes for you to be successful as a SEAL. You make so much sense to me. I have lived a different life than most normal people Just like you. It is really cool Rob. How do I find you you?. Media ? or DM

    God Damn reflective belt, reminds me when I was medically discharging and was told to show up in PT's to Fort Knox, walked into the PX and a LT tried to hammer me for wearing PT's in the PX, after explaining to him that after 15 years, I would no longer be serving and that I was told to only wear this uniform and was not a FT Knox soldier, then he said, "well you should not be in here with this uniform". I said "have a great day".

    Suggest you cut the intro down, it’s far too long. By intro, I mean the parts about the news footage, Obama, Osama, Planes, Bush, all that stuff. Just don't want to see it at beginning of every episode. Get you someone to make you a cool intro like Rogan's got. Or some such.
