Definitely different from the usual. lemme know what you think.
Already love it. The host at the beginning and throughout the video is fucking hilarious.
Just started it, greatest video I've ever seen. Ten out of Ten freedom seeds.
approved
I’m always down to watch one of your vids no matter how long it is lol
Always a good day when you upload
This man is a real life open world videogame protagonist. Completing missions with good intentions in the most chaotic way possible often involving unnecessary violence and stealing vehicles.
Dude was playing RDR2 in ww2 straight up stealing trains
Yeah that sounds about right
he was fighting nazis. Violence was necessary
Strategically Transferring Equipment to Alternate Location.
Yep, checks out. Can you imagine if he made E-4?!
@@matthewellisor5835 brother he was the Spirit of the E4M Embodied on Earth for his generation. The reasoning for agreeing to join pathfinder school makes that very VERY clear dude wasn't a simple mortal man.
I met one of the original filthy 13, he told me a story about some officer telling him and Jake to open a safe in Normandy. Jake being Jake applied the rule of all the explosives will work....well he collapsed the building and the safe was still intact. So they picked the lock instead.
That's hilarious
By John Moses browning that was a tough safe
Man I wish I knew what brand that safe was lmao
Lol 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 great 👍🏼 one lol 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
😂🤣
That's gotta be the biggest flex EVER "I started with 6 eggs, cleared a whole town full of enemies, disabled 10 tanks, and now I have 5 eggs"
Another massive flex is ruck marching 136 miles and not getting a blister. I use to talk everywhere. Town to town and I lived on top of a mountain. Not changing your socks is a super massive middle finger to cause and effect. Just wild he didn't get it.
that sounds like a middle school math word problem
When he quoted him saying "Imagine what I could do with some butter once in a while" left me in stitches.

I can't even get out of bed without breaking my ankle
My dad was a Force Recon Marine from '59-'70. He did combat tours in '65, '66, '68, and '69. He was born in '42, was orphaned at 4 and grew up mostly homeless, as a greaser in north Tulsa. When he was 6, he escaped from an orphanage. He never told anyone what happened in there, but he crawled through a broken window and then coiled barbed wire to get out. He was caught, sent to a hospital to get stitches for all the cuts on his hands, arms and face, and was sent back. Two months later, he escaped again. He died in '87, and still had faintly visible scars from that on the right side of his face.
I didn't know much about what my dad did in Vietnam, because he felt I was still too young (11) to hear those stories when he died. After he died, from time to time we'd meet a guy who served with him. So, I heard some stories. Jump to the week of my 18th birthday. It was one of the worst weeks of my life. On November 7th, my mentor died of a heart attack. On the 8th, the storage place my mom was keeping my dad's guns got broken into and stolen, so instead of getting the guns he left for me in his will, I got a police report. On my birthday, my girlfriend dumped me for another dude. On the 10th it was the USMC's birthday, and I went to my mentor's funeral and memorial service. …but it all turned around on Veteran's day. On the 11th my friend Richey (who had recently come home from Marine Basic Training) and a bunch of us went for coffee. He started talking about how his DI would sit them down some nights and tell them stories about this badass sergeant he served with in Vietnam. Some of the stuff Richey talked about was pretty familiar. When I finished one of the stories, he was like, "How do you know about this?" I was like, "What's the name of the sergeant?" He replied, "Wait, was Sgt Rock your dad!?" He got wicked wide-eyed, and quietly said, "Dude, your dad's a fucking legend…" Those last five words made all the shit I had gone through that week okay. This badass old DI was telling his Marines stories about my old man.
Most of my dad's stuff was classified and a lot of records got lost in a fire in St. Louis, so I don't think I'll ever really know the stuff he got up to. …but the stories I do know, I tell to friends, keeping him alive in memory. So, I love the way you tell stories about these warriors. Your sense of humor is a lot like his was. Keep up the good work, man.
ITS A SMALL WORLD. I talk to anyone and everyone. And sometimes I'm in place where I think nobody would know who I am, and they greet me by name/ business I managed.
That's your old man telling you about himself.
That’s crazy story man I live right outside of Tulsa
@@shawndavid1845 I've been a bouncer since '91, in Cheyenne, Denver, Boston, and Portland. Mostly at college places and live music venues. As a 6'6" bulldozer with a mohawk, who was trained by a carnie talker, I am quite memorable. I run into so many people who know my name and face that I have to play the pronoun game with everyone (Hey, you… it's been forever, yo.) and all my friends have been briefed on the thing where they introduce themselves, so the stranger introduces themself to my friend, and then I can pretend I knew their name all along.
Humans are silly.
God loves warriors!
Your story brings a patriotic tear to my eyes. One of these days I will learn not to spew out my coffee when the fat electrician is wickedly telling stories using analogies in a vernacular not only to capture and hold the listeners attention causing me me to spew out my near perfect and much relished coffee
The cherry on top is the fact that he did all this insane shit, went home, and lived to 93 before dying of old age. This man did more in one lifetime than most of us probably could in 5
He finally calmed down enough to be to angry to die I see
That man did more in 3.5 years than most of us could do in a lifetime!
Did more in a few years than even we Marines can say we did in a lifetime
@@chriskirk9708 He would have a storm cloud pinned. Or at least a fat stack.
Your line to the end “he then proceeded to show the Nazi princess that inches are better than centimeters” is absolutely top notch! Busted out laughing with that quip!
Yup
If we get invaded don’t expect any loyalty from the women I guess lol.
My dad served 3 tours in the 101st Airborne in Vietnam from 67 to 69. He started as a paratrooper, then flew a med vac chopper his last 2 tours. He unfortunately passed away in 1974 when I was 10. Thanks to all the men, and women that served in out military. Jake was definitely a BadA$$. Great video. Just subscribed.
I grew up in ponca city where he is from. I was able to meet and interview him in high school for a project. Was a great experience and he was a total bad ass
Share a story he told.
You’re slaying long form content bro
thanks buddy
@@the_fat_electricianThe American Count Dankula
Yooo dount
Dude donut operator is here
I’m with Donut on this one
That 136 mile march is insane. The first time I went on one it was only a few miles, I was in the best shape of my life, and I had run a marathon.
I thought it would be cake....it was not.
I rarely comment on TH-cam videos but I felt compelled to do so on this one. As a fan of war time stories this is one of the best narrations I've ever heard. Laid out the story flawlessly. Instantly got me to subscribe. Thank you for your service McNasty!
He has another good one on basically the real life Rambo I forgot his real name but he started of as a paper boy in ww2 if you wanna check that out
@@gstephensonwilson4049 by now I have watched just about every video he has put out 🤣.
It’s amazing they made planes strong enough to not only take off but sustain flight while carrying this man’s gigantic balls.
Anyone else who knows the US Military and anyone else who's seen these videos knows, if the US has something they know will be absolutely catastrophic to the enemy, they will find a way to same day deliver it to the enemy. The "Bunker Buster" bombs, 82nd Airborn being able to fight and win hungover or sober, tilting a whole vessel just to shoot farther, priority shipping 2 atom bombs through Japanese infested waters to drop them on Japan, Sending the biggest horde of angry Americans to the front door of occupied Europe, taking off armor and guns off of some B-25s so they could play the Uno reverse card on Japan right after Pearl Harbor, sending God's personal healer to actively be shot at and still bring back dozens of wounded. The list keeps going but if America has something invaluable, they will perform a miracle to send a miracle into combat
Japan only had 3 capital ships left when the bombs were dropped. The waters were definitely not infested with Japanese 😂@fireantfury2539
"Hey, where's Jake??"
Follow the marks there, that's his 🏀🏈 dragging the ground
They sent him first to rut out roads for trucks.....
@themuckler8176
They didn’t have the strongest navy at that time, but they still had submarines which sank the Indianapolis after it transported the bomb to Tinian.
I used to go to church with Jake. He's one of the most humble, down to earth people you'll ever meet.
Thats really sweet i hope he got to enjoy life
And that reader passing by, is something to think about. When a man like McNeice thinks it a worthy thing to go to the Lord's house, then really.. are *you* too cool, too smart, too self sufficient to be following Jesus?
Man I bet he had some stories to tell. God gave us a warrior and then protected that warrior and then brought him home (not talking about Oklahoma).
@@Captain-Awesome he had GREAT stories. But because we were at church, he told the watered down version.
@@ryanl2654
Lmfaoooo
in my headcannon whilst the CO was signing off on the order to send mc nasty in he muttered to himself "hes germanys problem now"
This one hits home for me so much. As a proud grandson of both our Grandfathers who served in WWll & our mothers Father who also served in Korea I can attest the stories they share are very important for us to learn and share. When growing up we were told things they didn’t want to share with the wife(our grandmothers)! This Awesome man Jakes story is amazing & so inspiring. He’s definitely a true leader & legend, thank God for him & those like him who pushed through to victory each in his or her own way.! Thanks for the enjoyable long content. I most definitely subscribed & plan to enjoy more of your content. A good friend of mine told me of you this morning at Work, I’m thankful he did 😉!
Definitely one of the best war history tellers on the interweb
IDK, have you had a drunk gay pig yell at you for 30 minutes about the Cap Trafalgar, and enjoyed it
Could you imagine him in a class of 15 year olds teaching history. I would take that class.
@@lycanit i guarantee itd have a full cass roster
@lycanit As a 15 year old who loves history, I agree!
Would love to see Mr Ballen turn vulgar and tell these stories
You know its deadly serious when this is Electrician's longest video, he's like Internet Historian telling tales of the past & we eagerly listen
He's basically our military internet historian
Count Danuula with hisversion of madlad :D and I love it :D
@@zdaaaaarI love Dankula. His Mad Lad series is spectacular.
I hope he's writing this all down. It would make an amazing history book...
@@globaladdict Like Forgotten Weapons...with "fuck" added in...
Just found your channel today and after listening to this story about one of our country's real life badasses, I definitely subscribed. You told his story so well that it played out like an action comedy in my head that if one didn't know that it was real, it would be totally unbelievable. Well done. 👍✊
Loved your video! Jake was certainly a colorful character but extraordinarily talented at what he did. Maybe lucky too. I found myself laughing hilariously at some of his antics and your delivery was superb! Thanks for making my evening just now!
Jake's my grandpa. Thanks for sharing his story with a new audience. Phenomenal job. Most of those stories I'd heard before but definitely a few new things too.
You left out the bit that he went to join the army cause he'd gotten in a bar fight and was trying to get out of town haha.
For anyone new to him, there's plenty of videos on TH-cam of him telling stories, he's one of the greatest storytellers I've ever heard. There's also a book if you look it up.
Bro your grandpa is in battlefield 5 that so cool bruh
@nedkelly3436 It's so weird for me sometimes because I just grew up hearing the (mostly pg Version) of all these stories. It's just like yeah Pa did all this cool ish and has these amazing stories. I lose a little perspective at times on the magnitude bc he was just so matter of fact about it. The movie rights to his book have been purchased by some group or studio to my understanding but nothing concrete has ever come out yet and there's another distant cousin that has a really good rough cut of a full documentary but again nothing that has officially been produced yet
Did he walk that march on barefoot, country Boys can do that. Not as much asphalt in the late 30's to early forties.🤔🤔❤️❤️
@nedkelly3436he said he sold his life story
Certainly a colorful character...if the term didn't already exist they could've created it using him as an example
Jake was my great uncle, I listened to him tell me these stories at family reunions. He was legit.
Lying your ass off for three internet points. Sad, really 😂
Yeah and he’s my great grand uncle daddy 🙄
@@codywilliams3073nothing ever happens and mcnasty has no relatives
@@n1njachikin ok..
@@codywilliams3073 I think you missed the part where Jake had _TEN_ siblings. And we're already four/five generations from the WWII vets. Do you have any idea how extremely likely it is that he's telling the truth?
I just discovered your channel. The wife and I did a 3 hour binge after dinner loving all the cool and fun things we're learning about. Your storytelling is fun to listen to and engaging.
Off to more of your videos
This is the single most bad-ass psychotially cool channel of all. You have managed to make history not only fascinating, but entertaining!! I didn't learn much history in high school (sat next to a smokin' hot blonde, who I took to senior prom, but didn't do any post-graduate work with) I'm obsessed with you stories. Please carry on with the good work.
My dad has described berserkers as "men you wind up, point at the enemy, and hope they don't come back." Barely five minutes in, McNiece is sounding like a prime example of a berserker.
Berserkers ran into battle stark naked. No man wants the family jewels disappeared by a double head axe
@@philodonoghue3062 No sane, sober man. Berserkers weren't exactly known to be either.
When I was in high school we had a history class where we had to find, interview and do a report about a veteran in our local community. The teacher told us to reach out to Jake but I had no idea just how much of a bad ass he truly was. If I could go back and grab 17 yr old me by the collar...... I grew up in Ponca city and had heard the name but never actually knew him, or met him.
Damn, what a missed opportunity 😮
53 year old Okie here , I Never knew either, All the Way!
He was a special kind of man. Even tho he found God he still had a hell of a sense of humor. I met him when I was a kid, he was friends with and served with my step grandpa harry. Harry had got frost bite in ww2 and lost many fingers his pointer finger was a big ol stub, I remember him telling Harry this.. you had to go to the war and lose some body parts to get a stub big enough to satisfy the lady's. I was a kid but got the joke and remember laughing so hard I about pissed my pants. I remember thinking all the hell that man went through and yet his sense of humor survived.
We also done that.
My mom and dad lived in Ponca City for a few years starting in 1950 and my dad was airborne. Wish I could ask my dad if he knew Jake.
I listened to his book on audible and he narrates it himself it's top notch WW2 shit. The best is hearing him chuckle about him and his men's antics. It's a must read
Absolutely love your style. Captivated to the end, every time. No unnecessary BS, just fast paced info.
I had the EXTREME HONOR to meet, speak to, and listen Jake's stories, three different times, over a three year period. He came out to a D-Day reenactment paintball game in Wyandotte OK, for three years running. The twinkle was still in his eyes when he was relating the stories of WWII. It was such an honor to have him teach the young players, (and not so young players, like myself) what the war in Europe was truly like.
Thank you so much for telling Jake's story.
Always wanted to go to that paintball game…
@@StratMan965208 It was a great series of games to play in. Meeting Jake was one of the MAJOR highlights. I gained a Son-in-law and two wonderful grandsons from playing in those games. I still consider a lot of the players from D-Day as family.
i hope they didn’t have him playing, it’d be way too unbalanced, kind of like when the gym teacher joins a dodgeball game
That’s incredible dude
I LOVE JAKE!!!
Once of my great uncles was in the battle of the bulge, he was very stoic and had no interest in telling/reliving the stories.
This is as good or better than any novel could have ever been.
I GOTTA SEE MORE ON THIS WONDERFUL WARRIOR.
A WARRIOR WHO’S LIFE WAS SPENT SERVING THE GREAT JHWH, WHO IS YEHOSHUAH/ YESHUA/ JESUS/ THE WORD { of GOD }, THE SAVIOR OF ALL WHO CALL ON HIS NAME, HIS NAME MEANS:
👉🏼THE SELF-EXISTENT ONE WHO IS { MY } SALVATION👈🏼
I THANK GOD FOR HIS TREMENDOUS BLESSINGS ON AMERICA, THROUGH OUR VERY OWN “💪🏼JAKE👊🏼McNASTY”,
THE GREAT AMERICAN WAR HERO !!!
My dude, I have to tell this story. I’ve been sharing your videos with my wife, and told her I wanted one of your tanks for Father’s Day. My nine year old daughter informed my wife that calling you “the Fat electrician” was extremely rude! Then my dear wife had to explain that it is the name of your channel name and not a dig at your tactical fluff.

Just found your channel yesterday. Subscribed. The was the best story and your telling was great. These are the stories I like to hear about veterans. Definitely be watching more content.
I had an uncle who was an army captain in WW2. He had similar stories, a few as colorful as McNasty's, When I was little he would regale me and my cousins with his great stories of the war in Europe, complete with photos from his little box camera. Yes, some of the photos were horrifying! I loved every minute of his retelling. I loved every minute of this video.
Jake is more than a hero, he’s more than an anti hero
He’s a legend
He is a War God.
We still commemorate the legend by occasionally painting our faces like they did, usually as a celebration jump on the D-Day Anniversary.
@xxTheRealRawlDogxx I was always interested in WW2. Specifically the 101st Airborn and they're blazing trails into Germany. I bought a book from the local bookstore and saw the famous pictures of Jake and his crew in the book and it's now been 11 years since I got the book as a kid and just now finding out who that guy with the Native American war paint and Mohawk is.
Heroes live forever. Legends never die.

New sub here….I came here from “What It Do Dave“ channel reacting to your video: Iran navy smoked by America 🇺🇸 had to be one of the most entertaining and funniest narrations I had ever came across!🤣 thank you for all the laughs and your style of comedic storytelling 🤙🏽👊🏽
-One ❤️ Love
Completing a 137-mile ruck march without changing socks or getting a blister is "a superhuman feat" - I see what you did there👍
The man had real sole 😂
I was so excited to see this video. I spent 20 years in the Oklahoma National Guard and had the honor one Veteran's Day of assisting with the install of a handicap ramp at Jake McNiece's house. After the install he signed our copies of his books, take a picture with us, and told us stories for hours. He told us the story of when he stole the train, but it was not just because he didn't want to walk back to the barracks, but he had missed the last bus back to the barracks. He also told a story about jumping out of a plane behind enemy lines with his pockets filled with tobacco and no food because he could find food. He ended up landing in water and ruining all the tobacco he had.
That's a fabulous experience, Josh .. one you can tell the grandkids. Respect!! I'm off to get freezer bags to seal my tobacco.. ✊
Thank you for sharing your experience.
What's his book? Would love to read
TH-cam kept recommending this video. I figured I would watch it and try to understand the lack of trigger discipline.
I used to help my dad cook steak dinners for the vets at VFW Post 7909 in Jacksonville, FL. Being the young man I was some of these vets told me stories that they had never told the spouse. I considered it an honor to not only cook for them...but to listen to their stories. Also as a young man it was nice getting hit on from time to time by a vet wife(20+ years older than me☺
All I can say is thank you!! This is the first video I have seen of yours and am now subscribed, I fucked up my knee at work in January requiring me to have surgery I’m currently down for 12+ weeks not being able to do anything and having to be on crutches I’ve watched almost everything I care to watch, I found this and now have to watch all your videos! Thank you!
Dude! I heard about this on Unsub and had to see it! This guy is a legend (or should be)! I knew about him, but nothing this extensive.
Funny thing is, all of us know the type. When I was in basic, we had a guy who told the DS to F off every day....yet, he stayed in training. Most of my DSs were Vietnam vets. At the end of training, our DI called out three of us, and this guy was one of them. He said that THIS was the type dude that would brave enemy fire to pull you back to safety - they knew. I never forgot that through 21 years of serving our great nation, and it gave me patience with similar folk. End story for him was that he ended up owning a car dealership (I know only because I took my car there when visiting in-laws and saw him like 15 years later...it was a blurry night lol). Some folks are good at combat, but don't fit in garrison, others (too many) are good at garrison, but not real good at combat. There's a place for both, but damn if the irritation isn't real twixt the two.
“He doesn’t fear war, war fears him. He doesn’t follow commands, commanders follow him. He doesn’t care about the odds, because the odds are ever in his favor…he is….the most interesting man in the world”
I went back to basic training essentiall as I was out too long, and an 18C was also going though with me as he was out too long as well. 18c is a green beret believe me or not but this is 100% true. A captain walked up to us just shooting some shit realized we didnt look like new boots, and basically treating us like prior service we were. one of the Most hilarious things happened next was that the 18c told the captain to carry on. The captain flipped and was like, "CARRY ON, YOU DONT TELL ME TO CARRY ON..I TELL YOU TO CARRY ON".
Chuck Norris??
Even Death Feared him and don't even dare to touch him.
F#@&k yeah!!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Jake and spending some time visiting with him. He also signed a copy of his book.
Jake lived in Ponca City, Oklahoma and he was a pillar of his church and the community. Like many soldiers from WWII who successfully returned to civilian life he was humble and left his "McNastiness" behind in Germany.
Lies🙄
@@cassandrabrothers3181 Why is that lies??
Wow this cool I live right beside Ponca city never knew this.
@@t-moneylove Same here!
This whole story seems like he made it up for his 'book'. Militaries can't function with soldiers like this. He would have made a great SEAL though, filling autobiographies with complete bullshit is right up their alley.
What an absolute LEGEND!!! Like wow… What an amazing character! Absolutely love the way you narrate too my friend. Keep up the good work. 💪🏼
I watched someone elses commentary on your videos. Immediately came here subscribed and sent the link to friends and family and posted on fb . Your commentary rocks!
My name is Jake and I joined the army right out of high school. My drill sergeants called me "McNasty" I never understood until now why they called me that. I wasn't quite as crazy as this guy but I definitely had a problem with authority throughout my entire military career and was constantly losing my rank and being demoted back to private 😂😂😂. I am honored to carry on his legacy.
Thank you for your rebellious service man🤘🏼

We have them, but they cannot make it into the military anymore. We have had it too easy since Viet Nam. Let the American people start seeing thousands of bodybags coming home and the real tough guys will be welcome in the military again.
Plenty of American hell raisers out there, just no leadership worth working for.
Why?
@@ridleyreese1
What do you mean the tough guys "cannot make it into the military anymore"?
That is the first time I ever heard his story that way and all the information you gave. I truly enjoyed learning more about the real heroes of our past. Thank you.
I found you from following Brandon Herrera and donut for years and I gotta say I love every video you do.
I love history and especially military and combat history.
You fucking kill it brother!!!
Much love from San Antonio man!!!!!!
What an absolute dude. I love that he did all of that, eggs included, and then sees the light and becomes a quiet mailman with a family.
It's the old story.
It's not really about seeing the light, it's about doing what he needed to do.
I humbly disagree mcnasty was a mountain of a man.
I'm really not buying the egg story?!
@@loudaddy2001I am. I know a man. While making his way to the crash sight in Somalia realized he had forgotten his Copenhagen in the humvee he dismounted from. He told the rangers he was with to lay down some suppressing fire while he ran back, grabbed his dip, came back to the firefight, threw in a dip, then commenced to putting people in the forever box. It is part of the mindset that sets these men apart. It is an acknowledgment that none of us will live forever. I’ll either make it through this situation, or I won’t. I’ll be hailed as a hero by some, a villain by others, and a fool by the rest. I might as well have some fried eggs in the morning if I make it that far.
Jake was an absolute BEAST and there should be an accurate movie made about him and his true story.
The best part about it is how little to no embellishment needed to make the movie awesome.
I'd definitely be one of the 1st people to be in line to watch this movie!! This man truly gave no F@CKS!! Absolutely love it!! Someone call Hollywood!!
Band of brothers
No, not at all. This is about making wolverine the lead character. It would be so very different.
Hollywood would probably f#$k it up.
I love hearing stories like this... My dad was WWll an only son, forged his mother's name to go at 17 and when his mother asked why, he said I have to go protect my buddy's from the neighborhood that went... My dad made front page 3 times of his Quincy MA local paper, local boy hero, he was even credited on 60 minutes in 1984-85ish by a California senator that he saved during the war using the cricket, he did some crazy shit over there, I have a shit ton of stories, some totally unbelievable but he proved it... One thing my dad always said to me, well he said a lot of things to me but he always said, don't ever doubt my words and make me tell you I told you so... As much as I have issues about some of the things he didn't allow me to do or accomplish in life which really pisses me off, I still love the guy because he was the man of the neighborhood that everyone loved and he would always find a way to help anyone out, even when he didn't have anything. Gotta love all the men and women who fight for our freedoms, even while tyrant politicians try to squander them from us.
I'm benging your channel like crazy dude. Your doing a great job, and I like your delivery.
Your keeping this old man entertained.
No fiction is as exciting as real life.
I met Jake McNiece several times. I was friends with one of the Filthy 13, Jack Agnew. I knew Jack for years. I met Jake when he and Jack were at the World War II Weekend in Reading, PA in 2009. Jack had some great stories about Jake's exploits. Jack was also involved to some extent. I never could get him to give me a straight answer on that. God bless you Jake and Jack. You guys did a hell of a job.
Jack Agnew was my great grandfather I miss him very much he died when I was 8 years old I’m glad you got to meet him
@robertbateman3698 sorry for your loss. Your great grandfather was a true hero
I met them at the same event in either 2010 or 11. I was so glad to have gotten a picture of him with my 2 teenaged sons. He was an amazing man. So glad my sons & I got to talk with him!
@@robertbateman3698 I'm glad that you got to meet him. My maternal grandfather was a World War I veteran. He was shot in the wrist in September 1918, gassed in October and then knocked unconscious an hour before the war ended on November 11, 1918. Sadly, he died in 1945 at age 50. I never met him in person and would have loved to. My grandmother "introduced" me to him by showing me his uniform, helmet, gas mask and assorted other memorabilia. Your great grandfather was a terrific guy. He was always asking me about my daughter who was deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. I was a police officer in his town and would stop by frequently and chat with him.
@@Bixtybee1111 I was a cop in the town where Jack Agnew was living. I was fortunate that I got to stop by and chat with him frequently while I was working.
I found you because of the New Zealand family youtube channel reacted to this video. Im so happy to find you. You're a great story teller, so funny. Thank you for sharing these amazing military people's stories.
I honestly enjoy your story telling. This is also such a badass story to tell. Excellent content.
35 minutes and I was still disappointed that the video ended. You're story telling aptitude is unmatched.
Tons of laughs and some really cool history.
I am born (1993) and raised in Eindhoven, let me tell you.. The 101st Airborn devision are for ever famous heroes in my city! Not only because of the museums and memorials, but also because everyone knows who are resposible for our freedom!
Thank you 101st
My son and I have been dying to visit your town. I hope we get a chance soon. ❤
82nd airborne enters the chat…
82nd airborne is by far the better choice
@@alexvangen745WHY?

^because testosterone and F+": you that's why
Just stumbled across this video.
First, I have to thank you because I finally understand why honey badgers and grizzlies tattoo 'McNasty'........on the most delicate parts of their anatomy.
It's been a mystery for several decades (think: "Killgore Was Here", but for scrotums).
😁
Second, I really enjoyed the quality and effort you put into your content.
You, sir, have esrned yourself a subscriber.
Cheers
You are quickly becoming my favorite content creator on any form of media. I just wish i came across your channel sooner. Keep it up man, you're killing it!
HELL YEAH to the longer form content man!! Excellent shit, this man sounds insane 🤘🤘
I loved this long form. This video was epic. We need more news like this instead of all other crap.
Great job! 👍
He might be the definition of an antihero but sounds like an American hero to me
Ps do more "fix a piece of shit and then drive it 600 mi" plz
Holy crap its Kevin
@@ThoseWeirdPeople910 God damn right it is, you know I have to support those fellow Iowans!
I'm all for it. Would love to see more.
My grandfather who was 101st during WW2 and was at Normandy and Battle of the Bulge talked about this guy. Good to hear his name again and fully understand all stories I heard as a kid.
You gotta share some examples/stories
Did your grandfather also not allow potted meat or peanut butter in his house because of the war?
@abbynormall207 he told stories of other people but rarely shared his own experiences. He did tell of a time he was clearing a building and had to bayonet a German soldier coming down the stairs. Another story from D day he said he put his friend's heart back in his chest. Years later my mom told me a story where that man showed up at the front door to thank her father. He talked a lot about his training in Georgia and running Currahee Mountain for training. He was a bit hush on many battles and other things he saw. He was at the castle at the same time as this guy when they were "partying" and he described where they were and told stories of how drunk the people got.
@abbynormall207 he actually loved peanut butter but I never saw any potted meat. He was from South Carolina and a hunter, so anything they ate was all fresh and either shot or taken from their garden. My grandmother was an amazing cook. Her potato salad could bring world peace.
@@IReviewItwhere's Normany?
Really good video. I am really awed at your storytelling. It's oddly enthralling.
I love your history videos, dude. And your appearance on unsubscribe with Nikko and angry cops was awesome
You’ve arguably become one of the best storytellers on the tubes. Don’t know if this story can be topped. The man is a walking clusterf*ck and there’s not a damn thing anyone can do about it BUT they need him. My hats off to you for another incredible story!
We talk of the Filthy 13 in the airborne community as Legends. Every Paratrooper today knows the story.
Drachinifel tops him still :)
But it's really good
Adury Murphy tops them both not an anti hero just straight up hero.
Idk, him telling the story of the Crips vs Rangers would be pretty epic
@@carloscastillo8286 Once you get into "would call bullshit if you saw it in a movie plot" territory, I don't think it really matters.
Jake Mcnasty is literally the reason for “If you need it done, call the 101” what an absolute legend im honored i got to wear the same patch as him
He is kinda like the living embodiment of the E4 mafia. We don't show him off. Hide him when the brass comes around. But when the chips are down, we send him to get the HARD stuff done.
101 doesn't have paratroopers anymore though
My dad is Ret. CSM 101st Airborne Rangers "Gey Ugly". Appreciate the sacrifices you made serving our great country sir.
Except falujah 😂😂.
@@GamePathAir Assault!
Great job on this video! Very informative, you kept me interested from start to finish!!!!
Your videos are great to just listen too while doing renovations. Entertaining as hell
Nic, this is your mostest epicest history lesson yet!! I've come across at least 3 different versions of Jake "McNasty's" WW2 exploits, and yours is BY FAR the most in depth, giggle-ridden, hyper detailed explanation of historically accurate shenanigans and chicanery I've ever come across!!
Keep up the amazing work, Brother!!
Fair winds and following seas,
Andy Fortenbacher, GM1 USCG, retired
thank you I'm glad u liked it!
@@the_fat_electriciananother great war story would be Hector Albert Cafferata Jr. and his trusty shovel used to bat grenades back to the Koreans during the Korean War.
There's a collector's edition DVD set of "The Dirty Dozen" with the real story of the Filthy 13. It has interviews with Jake McNiece and his battle buddy Jack Agnew. It may not have the same level of enthusiasm and flair as this secondhand retelling but, it's true to form and straight from the man himself.
You knocked it out of the park with this story! To go 35min not because we said yes but you had to cuz this guy was larger than life & his story was epic! No way could you shoehorn his story in 10 minutes & felt like you did it justice. I truly enjoyed your storytelling. Thank you
Agreed, very much so!!
You definitely have a talent for making the hell of war entertaining and fun to learn. You are also a hero for putting in the hard work and bringing these guys to life. Maybe we can show these kids now a days how lucky they are. Having such real men in there past. Thanks a million.
first time listening to your channel, dude your an amazing story teller !! you just got a new sub!
As military history "guy" (with the degree and receipts to prove it), it is my humble opinion that this format is what you were made for. I know this is hard work, and likely took a good deal of time to put together and I really appreciate it. Your new slogan should be "Make History Great Again." The way you showcase the history of amazing American heroes with your unique (and Freaking Awesome) sense of humor and style is something that always has me looking for more. Keep it up!!!!
Most definitely agree!!
Well said!
I had the honor of knowing Jake for many years and can say that as a young man he was lets say “WILD”, but as an older man when I met him he was very welcoming and kind. Jake and his fellow troopers of the 101st were normal men capable of extreme violence when needed. That also applies to the other units and branches of of armed forces, thank God we have men and women who have been willing to put their lives on the line for the rest of us. Jake and the rest of his generation are missed, but should never be forgotten. Thank you for this video.
I’m callin bullshit
Prove it
They ALLREADY DID!
Jake should have been proud for laying the groundwork for our modern military spreading feminism and trans children throughout the world.
WELL SAID!
You tell these stories with great abilities and this one has been ny favorites for humor. Thank you.
Dude. I was born 15 years after WWII. Love war stories, and you are the best teller of these I have come across. Again thank you.
This is one of those stories that would not fit in a 5-10 minute video. I enjoyed every second of this story. That man is a legend.
I love this story, another one you might look into, if you haven't already, is Joe Medicine Crow. During WWII he performed all the requirements for becoming a war chief. Kind of like McNasty here, while every one else is fighting a war, he's out there doing side quests like it's a video game.
He actually did!
Lead a successful war party, touch an enemy without killing them, disarm an enemy and capture an enemy's horse. You can't do half of those things in the 21st century, I wonder who the last recorder war chief was.
@@fritzgman3967the last one is the guy he’s talking about Joe medicine crow completed these task in WW2
Loving the content and your style. Wondering if you ever did an episode featuring Alvin C. York.
You are seriously the best story teller ever!! Absolutely amazing!!
You are the only person on this platform that can keep my attention for 35 mins.. your storytelling skills are unmatched, thankyou for your service and the constant history lessons..
Appreciate that

You just never know what those old men who can barely get around now have been through, how big of a badass they were or the stories they could tell.
The reason they can’t get around is because their enormous tank-sized balls get in the way
I can tell you this some old military guys are not feeble and we got some that are willing to fuck up anything up we believe in.
Your story telling is amazing! It’s informative and fucking fun. I love your channel brother!!!
Being a life long Okie I've definitely heard the name but had no idea just how much of a baddass he was!! I just recently stumbled upon your content and I'm absolutely loving it so far! Keep it up 👏🏻💪🏻
Jake has to be the sole reason Article 15 exists. Also, dude you are easily like the American version of Count Dankula. Absolutely entertaining and a phenomenal story teller.
I am a 74-year-old retired combat wounded Marine. God bless you and thank you for the story sir.
Thank you for your service! I hope you've received all of the respect you so obviously deserve
My immefiate supervisors in my MP unit were former Marine Recon... God Bless and Semper Fi!!
Oorah devil dog!
give them hell lol. The last words of my mom to her grandmother.
How is this man's comment not at the top dangit!
Enjoyed these, look forward to more. You are hitting them out of the park!
I enjoy all of your videos! I'm a history enthusiast, and I especially like the history that's not taught in school. Your delivery is the best! (Love your colorful language). One note... the $10,000 worth of game that Jake hunted in England... that's equal to about $175,000 today.
Hey, not very military related but he was a military guy and a badass story, I suggest a video on Thomas Fitzpatrick, who drunkenly stole a plane from NJ and landed it on a Manhattan street in front of the bar he was drinking at because of a bet. Two years later, while drunk in the same bar, he was telling the story and another bar patron didn’t believe him, so he did it again
Count dankula did an "absolute mad lads" on him
Dude wait what, that is fucking insane.
34 Years ago I joined a local gun club here in Eastern Pa. At that time there were manyWW2 vets. One of our guys was a man named Jack Agnew. Jack was 101 airborne ,3 combat jumps and was at Baston. He was part of the Dirty 13. To me he was Larger than life. A very modest man. I never heard a 4 letter word from him. Another member Jack was great friends with was a Nazi Paratrooper, (Fallschirmjager) .Tony was born in the Czech Republic and became an American in 1953. Jack an Tony would go to reunions at Fort Indian Town Gap in Pennsylvania. I miss them Both very much. In 2006 I accompanied Tony back to Germany for his last Fallschirmjager reunion. He Pass away Jan 2009. Two Great men both Americans.
RIP
...nice.
You had an awesome and rare opportunity! Glad you were able to befriend both men. My Dad was a s/sgt in the 82nd in WWII. Also a humble, yet very confident guy. You just never wanted to "uncork the bottle", though, so to speak. All real-life heroes.
I met Jack Agnew at Ft Dix during their 50th D-Day remembrance. I was with a group of 4th ID vets from Philadelphia nd the surrounding area who knew Jack and introduced me.
"Baston" hahaha
Really like your way of telling stories. Cut everything down to the pertinent facts and keep it moving. You've told the stories of some great people. Ordinary soldiers doing extrodinary things.
Amazing content my man! Keep up the good work. I definitely will be suggesting this channel.
This is premium story time in direct competition with Reading Rainbow. Nick, you are the man that sheds light on the most ridiculous military stories in a fun and entertaining way that educates is and informs us of their importance. Thank you for this work that you do.
It is important i have an17 year old nephew that didnt know much more about ww2 than hitlers bad when he came to live with me its been a year weve about made it to korea from ww1 managed it with movies and documentaries because hes severly dyslexic and cant read ges learbed about u boats and the lusitania ges learned about d day hes learned about the 101st and easy company hes learned of the marines in the pacific hes learned of the cold war the space race korea and vietnam and even afghanistan and iraq i have alot of vets 8n my family so hes sat fown and talked to them about it all aswell and after learning i take him to the range and let him shoot whatever period correct weapons i have now if i could find a way to interest him in the rest of school well i did get him into trig with long range shooting. Its important as hell what this man does though when i cant find a movie or doc hes got atleast a short explination
What a guy, please tell more fantastic tales like these.., we need to know what our soldiers did.
Dude, you are an awesome storyteller. I loved your story of Jake. I heard the regular version but yours is much better.
Incredible research on an incredible man! Thank you! Inspirational!
I’m an ex ADF Infantry Para and I am blown away by this story about Jake, the man had elephant sized balls 🫡
Two globes with their own gravity
Elephants are jealous of his testicle size.

"I think I made it because God didn't know where to put me" is the greatest explanation of why I'm alive I've ever heard. Between war, motorcycle accidents, and everything else in my life that should've ended me. Got me all misty eyed. Thanks man
So I'm not the only one. Standing on top of 2 155 rounds and not having it go off... getting hit by a car and surviving. I was always told I'm a field soldier, not garrison. I would have fit in just fine as a filthy.
Wow, loved this story. What a badass of note. Love the content, keep em coming!!
I grew up in Oklahoma and met him. I was maybe 10. Was at the VFW with my grandpa. I shook his hand and then sat and listened to my grandpa and him talk. I had ice cream and was bored honestly. My grandpa was a Marine who served in the Pacific. Looking back, I wish I would have listened to that conversation better.
I honestly have no real words. This man....is just...dayum. He is the embodiment of 'no effs given'. I think the greatest tragedy of his military career was that the one egg was destroyed, forcing him to dine on only five instead of six.
In all seriousness, this guy sounds like an absolute mad-lad legend. Incredible.
Also, loved the video. Length was no problem and I enjoyed hearing so much about this guy's life. If you wanna keep doing stuff like this, go for it. I don't mind either way.
