Man this reminds me of me a few years ago! I was diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer at 34. Did chemo for a year and it was terrible at the time but looking back it could’ve been way worse. I’ve been clear for almost 9 years now but think about it every day. I’ve been blessed beyond measure. Great episode!
Hell yeah, stay healthy.
That's awesome man, glad you're still around.
We're the Survivors. Don't know if that's good or bad.
Good to hear that some patients do make it! Did you use cannabis oil as part of the treatment? It reduces and even prevent cancer cel growth. For some patients cannabis-oil (aka rick simpson oil) cured their cancer.
Thank science!!!
Great interview Jack. I have followed Willy now for close to a year. He does great work and is an excellent interviewer. Thank you for helping him expand his brand!
I absolutely love the Aussie accent. The casual employment of a mixture of swear words and sense of humour made me crack up
Thankyou brother!
F-bombs in 3 hours......Jack-0 Willy 3752😂😂good interview,I listen to Willy a good bit.
I'm an Aussie from Adelaide too, deployed to Afghan in 2011, 2013 and 2015. In 2013 we had the SOER guys making alcohol from a makeshift still that they'd rigged up in Camp Russell at MNBTK. We had a plentiful supply and traded with the diggers and other nations outside Camp Russell at TK.
We had a bar inside Camp Russell and for the most part head-shed left us alone so long as we didn't cause too much trouble. Couple of guys got us in shit after somebody over the fence had a go at them for carrying on, they threw beers over the wall at them without realising it was TK head-shed and so command cracked down on us after that.
Willy is top shelf.
I love this guy. I listened to half of the podcast while cutting the grass and watched the second half on TH-cam. I enjoyed his stories about his army time, including his language! He was very inspirational when talking about his cancer diagnosis and how he intends to live his life. I will have to watch his TH-cam videos.
Been cuttin grass all day listening to it too! So good
Aussie F Bombs! Nice work, Willy
Lucky you uploaded a short of this because I almost missed it. Willy is an absolute legend I'm so happy you got him on. OI OI OI
Brilliant
Willy is such an awesome dude. Thanks Jack for the great conversation! I also heard more fucks than my whole time in the Air Force, but then again it was the Air Force.
Willy I've become a huge fan of your work in Gaza. You have a very human & humane approach to things and humble too. My daughter is in the USAF and your description of boot camp is just what she went through. Leveling everyone to the same baseline. With a college degree she was on officer track but still got yelled at for having a food stain on her shirt after dinner. That is so important, to know you will be member of a team and no one is "better" than anyone else, just different roles & different jobs.
what a great and colourful interview. interesting chap. love it
what a legend, aussie grunts are the beeeest
I am Ukrainian, thank you so much for your sincerity and brutal honesty!
Thank you Sirs! Wishing you both continued success.
Great interview Jack. Matt is inspirational!👌
Glad to hear someone else bagging out the Steyr. I did my training on the SLR.
Absolutely love Willy's podcast! When the rest of the world forgot about Ukraine, he kept those of us who weren't in country informed about what was going on.
Nobody forgot about Ukraine... it's on every news channel constantly.
Great to see Willie, always entertaining and informative.
All you guys are an inspiration to a huge crowd. Great Job Willy and Jack
Nice to see big willie getting the jack carr nod
I LOVE WILLY!!!!!
Another Great Video 💯 Thanks Jack 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
The ship jacks referring to would of been Manoora or kanimbla. I was a crewman on the former.
Great work gentlemen!
Great and inspiring show. The best.
❤good stuff
Willy!
Big fan and supporter. But how does someone contact customer service for the item I buy off your site?
I think that's why everyone loves Jack, and the Lord has blessed him. you can tell he's a genuine nice dude.
Willy is the man 🤘
Nice
If you didn’t learn all the creative uses of the f-bomb after this pod, you didn’t listen closely enough. Listen again. Take notes.
~10:00-13:00 What weapons are they talking about? Can someone give me the official names?
Australia is a great country. I love when Jack mentioned The Gold Coast. Australia is genuinely a Great Country. Especially The Gold Coast in Queensland.
Are you actually from here mate?
If they were so great they would send their own tax billions to Ukraine.
@PD-we8vf if the u.s was so great they would send their own soldiers to fight russia instead of using ukrainians as a proxy 😂
@@jordanchristie3617 who mentioned America in this comment?
"She'll be right, mate" still exists.
@RealJackCarrUSA Messaged you
Approximately 500 Navy SEALS served in Vietnam. So far, I've met 3,000 of them.
Also look into the Gerson Institute...and Gerson Therapy. ANOTHER CURE.
Willy is a legend
Unreal I fuckin love Willy , watch him daily he’s amazing
Willy is one of the few boots on the ground independent journalists. Now he is in Gaza
What a shame! Keep pushing us to WWW3
2:14:00 Willy, how many tanks has EU sent vs how many has USA sent? how many artillery pieces?
Holy shit, I've been watching WillyOAM since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, and I had no clue his first name was Matt.... I honestly thought it was Willy lol
How is willie so young? 😢 I can’t believe he’s under 30, and I don’t mean that at all in an he looks old way - just how he portrays himself and comes across. Fuckin’ a!
skanska will pick up the contract to fix roads, fo sho u legend
Hmmmm. The amount of times Willie said he didn't know anything about the Wagner march on Moscow and then the death of Perghozin makes me wonder if He actually does know something about them...🤔🤔🤔 lol
Nice ratio..lol.
I'm glad people aren't buying the bs anymore.
Thermal camera gun joystick fucking thing😂😂😂. That’s the real deal right there.
So sad that the West pushed Ukraine into this
Served myself for several Years, 2 Tours with the AUG. Its definately not a Piece of S***e - as much as i like Matt, but that was no good Comment. The AUG is not for no Reason the Main Infantry Weapon since the 70s in so many Countries in the World. That tells you all i'd say. If you look at the Service Duration of a Infantry Weapon, you know its not Garbage. So again: I totally disagree with you on that Sir!
Good old Willy, as an aussie it was pretty disappointing to see him hanging around full on N.azi groups over there with the evil things they have done there over the last 9 years.
I think he's a good bloke, just terrified of the mob
Uh-huh. Like there are any fewer Nazis in fucking Russia.
Cope
As an Aussie do your tax dollars go to Ukraine? Did you get the clot shot? Did you wear a mask? Did you support your govt jailing the unvaxxed at Howard’s rock??
@@mattgibson7650giving in to the mob makes you a bad bloke.
Willy would say something if Australia were invaded by Chinese. I find his crying about Russian dead problematic. He was in Ukraine for a few weeks/months, if you lived there you’d feel different.
Crying about dead Americans in Afghbastian is also problematic, right ?
I'm 12 year Marine vet. I'm well accustomed to hearing and dropping F-bombs. That was just a little over top. It got redundant, and frankly, a boring turn off.
Keep up the great work. I look forward to all of your podcasts.

@RealJackCarrUSAthanks for the reply. I'm honored!
@@danomano1233it's a scammer brother
Still a child
I went to the U.S. consulate in Kyiv in 2009 and reported widespread Russian mil intel ops that I witnessed. He makes some huge assumptions about Ukraine. Maybe 10% of Ukrainians are pro Russian even as far as Kyiv. Kharkiv, mauripol yeah maybe 20% pro Russian now. Most pro Ruzz are paid agitators. No the people who stay in towns are not mostly pro Russian. God he’s full of shit in some regards. He’s not an expert on Ukraine. I lived there before and during the war. Yeah Kharkiv had a lot of agitators but not all that many were real. Many were propositioned. A Ukrainian can tell by the accent. Not all that many pro Russians are just language. Idk maybe 60% of volunteers speak Russian or a mix of it in 2022.
With all due respect, it’s just another opinion. He is a great guy, but he is so far away from reality, except corruption in Ukraine. Great interview as usually, another angles are needed important.
Boo NATO
Lol real account for sure
Defund Ukraine

Smooth brain phuque
NATO is the most useless and expensive terrorist organization on the Planet.
@@FJTx100 lol is smooth brain the new Russian troll programmed insult? Seeing that one alot lately! Pathetic
I'm glad you had compassion for the basement full of dead Russian soldiers, but you were wrong on one point. They were NOT on the wrong side of history.
Willy is a champ. Watch him daily.
Willy is not good... He confuses people ... She goes from channel to channel and then she goes away because too much people don't like him... Or I should say misunderstand but she comes across as she always defends russians
Glory Freedom and Victory for the DPR and LPR Russian federation and allied forces 🤗❤️🇷🇺👍.
Nice
