Jason reminds me of Shane Gillis but if he was his older brother and also a humble badass.
Rex Heurman as a patreon. Must have computer privileges in jail.
There are millions and millions Snuck into Cali and into America. Can we get the traitors out of office . Let’s just get understanding in what the fluke is going on 🙏
Shout out to Waterbury Ct.
Semper Fi 06704
Oh look…the world didnt end.
Awesome episode ! I wish he was my neighbor. Thank you for your service Jason.
Dude has the best attitude
Listening to him his voice and stuff sounds almost like Shane Gillis except a Navy Seal version lol😂.
Ayyy I live in Waterbury Connecticut! Thanks for your service man!
Thanks Shawn for continuing to interview guys like this. They’re are national treasures and their stories need to be told
This has to be my favorite interview thus far. What a humble warrior.
Boring interview
Yea we need Don Shipley I’ve been thinking that for awhile
Holy crap with the ads
Patriots shirt, like the guy already
Woah, I was not expecting Lampasas Texas to get thrown out there! Not far from me, Great interview!
XRP HBAR XDC XLM
Don Shipley
NOT FOR A TRUCK GUN.
300 Blk Rattler is King‼️
Dude I live 40 mins away from lampasas tx. That’s crazy
For me this show lost a lot of credibility after endorsing and platforming most of the Whitehouse crew. They got on here and lied and deceived
Awesome interview!
The imposition of obligatory celibacy in the church essentially resulted in a revenue stream. At the time it was imposed, it had became popular for nobility to become part of the clergy. By imposing forced celibacy in the ranks of the clergy, lands and fortunes which would have traditionally been passed from father to son instead went to the church. The end result made the Western Church the most wealthy and powerful organization on the planet.
Everyone talks about SEAL books but here are the numbers.
Navy SEAL: 6,443
Army Special Forces: 3,008
Delta Force: 1,743
Army Ranger: 1,737
Marine Recon: 181
If you put all the army books together there are more Army books than SEAL books.
There could be a few errors here but man, the marines need to catch up lol
F !! Your SERVICE
Wish we could know more about the deployment of the mk23
His name was Robert Paulson…. good movie.
Can we get some AF special tactics guys???? PJ, CCT, SR, TACPs???
Shawn, it’d be awesome if you could get Don on the show.
Would love to see Cole Fackler on the podcast.
Who shit on my desk? Hahahahaha 🤣 WOW!!! I wish I could say I’m shocked by this but I’m not! After 4 years in Weapons Department & 2 in Deck Department, nothing surprises me anymore! This is hilarious, oh man!
I would never in a million years think this dude was deadly, which makes him even 10x deadlier, badass💯
I was a submarine sailor stationed in Groton too!
It not just Vets and planes, I went though the same thing with my Captains License with the Coast Guard. They were way more hung up on my TBI than the insulin dependent fat dude with 200/150 blood pressure. I said screw you and turned in my credentials and moved on.
This is my favorite SEAL of all time. I relate to his humble nature.
Semper Fi ❤
How did that Easter 2026 2nd coming work out ? 😆😆
The JWs are NOT Christians. They are a cult. None of their prophecies have come true. They don’t believe Jesus is God and they believe only 144,000 are going to heaven-the rest are staying here on earth in a “new paradise”. I am a non-denominational Christian but through an extensive study of theology, I’ve come to believe that Catholicism is the true, original Christianity and Catholics can trace their religion all the way back to Jesus, with Peter being the first pope. All other denominations originated from Catholicism and are heretical in various aspects. Catholicism represents true worship of Christ , whereas the Protestant denominations and nondenominational churches are more about entertainment. Mormonism is also a cult . The JWs and LDS’s have changed scripture. The LDS’s also don’t believe Christ is God.
Sacrificing is just not going without hydro or water for a day ..men that gave a portion of their lives to make us and the world safer to a certain degree..and had their lives altered for the good of country..so next time you fentanyl your ass up ,you defame a soldier who sacrificed himself for your dumbass ..Ryan 👌💯JASON 🙏💯👌…..🇨🇦
I’m shocked that this interview is just an hour and a half this might be the shortest episode
This was FAR too short.
Need to get Don Shipley on the show.
Another good one Brother. Ty
I thought he did him dirty with the gummy bears for a second. Especially after all the fun talk lmao
Halloween is not Satanic. Stop spreading this stupid shit.
The big change and concern with Disabled Veterans is that years ago a Disabled Veteran was mostly physically disabled. Now with PTSD and TBI a Disabled Veteran may physically be ok but not mentally. Some states require a Disabled Veteran to prove they are physically disabled to get a handicap parking permit because of this exact reason. Because it seems everyone that went to the middle east has ptsd or tbi now.
Mr. Ryan you have the greatest interviewing skills . You really listen and do not talk over the subject. Thank you
Hey Shawn
One of the Best!! A lot of SADF vets love the pod. How about having a Recce on the podcast!!
Seems like a genuinely decent man. I have to say however Jehovah witnesses are not Christians.
Thanks
