HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 24 июн 2021
- Roger Reaves is a former pilot and drug smuggler who employed Barry Seal & ended up in prison for 33 years in 26 different prisons, in 7 different countries spanning 4 continents. His friends and associates spanned the globe. From Medellin Cartel kingpins Jorge Ochoa and Pablo Escobar; to "Mr Nice" Howard Marks and the infamous Barry Seal who was Rogers close friend and employee. In his early 30’s he was making over $1 million a day flying back and forth to Colombia and he eventually hired Barry Seal, and Roger gives vivid details to their relationship up to the very end of Barry’s life. Roger escaped from prison on five separate occasions; was shot down in both Mexico and Colombia; and tortured almost to death in a Mexican prison.

We need a Netflix show on his life.
Real talk
Came to the comments to say the exact same thing. So captivating!
movie worthy forsure
Agree 100%
no we dont? get a life
This guy was not ready to interview someone with this much to deliver. So much here that didn’t get touched.
Welcome to every Koncrete interview. The guy deserves credit for the effort but he’s not smart and it’s obvious in every interview unfortunately. Especially so when he brings on his stoner friends who sit there smoking and chuckling like the complete morons they are.
Exactly!..This Kid is the Worst Interviewer...He has a guest if this Magnitude and Knows Absolutely NOTHING about any of the topics or Information He could ask him about or get into.What a shit-poor job of interviewing...
What a shame...wasted opportunity.
The first thing you need to do if your conducting an interview is listen . Roger states that he paid Barry Seal one million per trip . To which the interviewer responds '' how much did you pay Barry Seal per trip ? ''
@@Balltime88 Good news is.....the interviewer listens and let's the guest talk uninterrupted. Many interviewers think the show is about themselves........nope.....it's about the guest.
Agreed
This guy is a subtly wholesome, straight shooter. Does not rat out his friends no matter what, great guest to interview.
He should get a medal for not ratting his connections out very rare a man of honor .in my opinion
I've listen to this man before I don't care what anybody says this man is a national treasure 100% awesome life hes lived
“Let me tell you a little story”….proceeds with a mind blowing event - what an incredible life!
Incredible life minus the 33 years in jail. (That’s 1/3 of his life wasted)
@@Angelo-qz3qj my thoughts excally, not worth it at all.
@@James_318 if they earned shit loads of money and no or very little jail time not a bad trade off for keeping your mouth shut. Give that some thought 🤣
Any time an Italian or an old southern gentleman says “let me tell you a story” you know you’re in for a hell of a fun ride
This was by far the best podcast on the channel yet. Great work man. What a amazing life story, could talk to that man all day long. It's crazy how nice of a man he is and people would paint him out to be a low life criminal.
Yes this boy has given Matt Cox a run for his money. Great story teller.
def a great podcast but not by far the best. there's a lot of good ones on here!
@@user-kd6bz1bk5g eg?
He has another interview on another channel, put his name in search.
Und er ist ein richtiger Mann. Er hat gern sehr sehr größe Kügeln.
This old dude was a hustler. He knew how to make ends meet, especially in the struggle. He definitely put food on the table for his family...A+
It’s a shame you weren’t prepared at all to do this interview
Thanks I thought I was only one this guy Idiot but roger reavers needs to go joe rogan and we do this it be soo much better smh
How do you prepare for this. Let the man Talk and tell his story.
It’s just such a shame that Danny can’t connect the dots during these stories resulting in stupid questions. Unfortunately I’ve seen this with many others he “interviews”
@@VantageWelding I agree, I could listen to Roger all day, who wants to listen to the other guy 🤷🏻♂️😂👍
@UC1g_V8Z1lRmMeTGyqtrhcqw
For starters he can stop the " WooooooooooW Whooooooaaaahhhh Dude " crap. Sounds more like a one sided interrogation. Idiot!
He a put a gun to guys robs to get his money back. Years later that same guy adds him on Facebook. And the interviewer skips right over that story……. 🤦🏾♂️
I know right? Very young inexperienced interviewer, he will learn as he goes I hope. He missed a huge opportunity that many interviewers would've dug deeper into.
100% agree this guy is not a good interviewer(yet)
Hes a liar. Dude couldn't even explain who or how he got reconnected after losing that guy as well! He was just like oh I got the 1000lbs myself for.... Myself
@@roninkhan9669 He doesn't even pretend that he has a clue.....
@@PlutoTheGod Roger is ALL real... 110%
*Old school is cool as a fan!... I could listen to him tell stories all day*
it's funny cause you can listen to him all day, his audiobook Smuggler that he narrates himself is actually 24 hours long! 😂
@@saltybob8667 already listened to it 😂
As a Pilot myself, I was in Medelin in '83. But, not speaking Spanish and no airplane, I found it required more guts then available. Man...I would have liked to have met those guys. Just for the adventure.
I'm going to read Roger's book but I wish there was an audiobook version where he's the narrator.. great storytelling.. hopefully I'll be able to read it in my head like he would tell it- now that I've listened to 2.5 hours of his voice. Fantastic guest.
Roger narrates the audio version on Audible. It’s fantastic!
Definitely!
You posted this comment a year ago, so just wondering if you did end up reading it or not?? Any final thoughts on his story as a whole?? I’ve known more about Barry over the years, but I have to admit, tonight was my first time learning about his side. Incredible.
There is get ready for a lot of ridiculous stories. I suspect he is just a really great fiction writer, and he can definitely tell a good story. But some... actually, many were just too ridiculous to believe. I'm not saying he is fos, but his book was a little hard to believe. Man should have been in the CIA if he isn't BSing
His voice is brings a calm over me lol
How could he get the plane off the ground with the weight of them balls.
🤣🤣🤣
Underrated comment 🔥
😂
Roger has lived an absolutely incredible life. Stories for days. Fascinating interview
an incredible 33 years in prison.
@@jimbo1959fool
Do you believe this bullsh!t?
This man is hands down one of the most intelligent, well spoken, and most importantly wise men I have ever been blessed to get to know if only very briefly through this interview. He should be cherished and viewed as a source of wisdom.
Mistakes he made, lessons he learned.
Love he made, and children he raised.
Yeah, great guy. Imports poison, kidnapped his wife, and laughs hysterically when recounting how a baby was eaten by a cougar. We need people like this. Abraham Lincoln, Mandela, Gandhi, forget these chumps.
Lol. Never had any 1 near and dear OD in your presence?
@@sanjayvaidya4925 so you think it’s the smugglers fault someone you know overdosed 😂😂😂
I think what made his success in the cartel as a smuggler was he was himself. A humble honest man who never said he could do anything he could not. When your a straight shooter you never have nothing to worie about
So true. So true. Honesty can go a long way !! Or it should anyways
Amazing content. Bro, you are getting better and better with every interview. 💪🏼
Facts
Yo Cox what's up bro
You are too Matt
Barry Seal was killed by the government as a scape goat?
I would also like to say the same about yourself, Matt! I'm loving the content comng from your channel and really loving your Podcast although I can't wait to see you on Koncrete again. You and Danny and the crew have great chemistry together. Always makes for a tremendous episode! I'm loving this old timer though. He's got some amazing stories!
I’m 15 minutes in,
He’s good at describing his experiences
Need him on again
Dude needs to make a RUclips channel about his life.
@@JUANGOLD6 type his name and Lex Friedman together. They literally just did a podcast together
@@daMillenialTrucker he has one started late last year
@@TerryStewart32 is it any better than this??
After watching Lex Fridmans podcast with him, I had to jump to this one and listen to another. I am so fascinated by this man, and he seems like such a good human being. Roger you are a legend.
Wow...not many people can tell such detailed stories, this man is the definition of the real deal! Gonna go grab his book now! Hope he can enjoy the rest of his days as a free man and I wish him all the best x
Man I wish someone else did this interview.
Lex Friedman just did.
@@quadcarl nice!
Sorry but I also wish it was someone else. He interrupts, doesn't pay attention to what he has already said, man if you let the guy talk a bit he would understand a bit more and then maybe ask a question. It feels like he doesn't get five words out and he is interrupting.
@@quadcarl he sucked too
wait so you got shot at.? oh sounds richter hahaha
Dude, so good. This man has lived such an amazing life. What incredible stories. Keep coming with the heat, Danny! Favorite channel on RUclips.
I am in awe of this beautiful man. Thanks for having him on your show and giving him the time to tell his amazing history
He should have read the book before having him on the podcast.
‘Smuggler’ is by far, the absolute best auto-biography I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading.
bruh, this is going to be amazing i can just tell. he said he bought a plan for $7500 and 1 marijuanna trip makes him $10k that's a dream right there XD
yep, i was right. i listened to the whole thing and man what a movie. they gotta make this a movie now
@@wifi2166 gotta wait for some people to kick the bucket probably...
Yup
Great interview, I live in Ga. and have heard about this man and the story was he was in an Australian prison doing 40 years. I’m glad to hear he’s out and OK.
Deffentally not what I picture in my head when I think of an Outlaw!! It's amazing of how much the drug war has changed the United States since the 70s. Turned into a prison culture! Much respect to him!
This guy deserved a better interviewer.
He got one. Lex interviewed him a few days ago. I recommend it
@@Koncrete i prefer your style than his! You don’t interrupt your guests all the time and don’t talk a mile an hour!
He deserves NO INTERVIEW, should still be in the last prison he was or should be 6 feet deep.
@@quickdeuce nobody cares about your opinion
@@Koncrete lex was good
Thanks for sharing this. One of the best interviews I have heard. He's a legend
I like lot of u guys I started watching last week I said I don't no bout his store then I got thinking I going watch rest of what his life was glad I came.back really enjoyed his stores
Easily one of the most amazing stories of this type I’ve ever heard! This was amazing from beginning to end!
What an incredible podcast and life story. I feel honored to have listened ❤️
Reaves is in fine form on this. You seem to have been able to pull some great stories out of him, much that I haven't heard. Have read his book and listened to him on various podcasts over the years. Nice one.
This dude has balls of steel!
... And a heart of gold.
That us south east southern boyz for ya I'm from where hes from same area in Florida orlando,daytona, tampa
/Georgia/ Louisiana/Texas
Thank you for everything you did and thank you for sharing your story
I could listen to this man forever, he reminds me of my grandfather his stories were priceless as well
By far the best interview I have ever listened EVER listened to !!!!
The most unbelievable part of this entire episode is the interviewer acting like the CIA Crack scandal was some crazy conspiracy theory he never heard of. Smh
Dude one of your best PODCASTS EVER Danny. Please keep them coming
Just dropped in to hear Roger tell his stories again, and damn son you really didn't deserve this interview
Nope he didn't Roger is a legend
@@slabbusterrtr7690why didn’t he “deserve” the interview?
I could listen to this man talk all day everyday!!!! He’s so easy going and interesting!!!! Just ordered the book !
What an incredible interview! Keep em comin bro
On my 3rd night listening to this,I keep falling asleep before I make it through. This guys story telling is very relaxing haha
Love how intriguing these story's are and the way they are told. Pure joy
I do live and recorded interviews and the best bit of advice i've ever been given is to listen when someone is talking. I was frustrated so many times i nearly turned off but Roger is just too interesting. I'm not going to be too hard as you'll get better with experience but i think you got this fantastic opportunity a bit too early in your vlog. Nonetheless, thanks for the upload, what a guy.
Agreed very unprofessional interviewer
Loving these interviews, muting your mic when you pull a snot rocket back into your head would ideal though LOL 😂
Seriously. It is so disgusting and distracting.
YES! So much yes! Gross. 🤢
Such a cool old guy with so many stories a 10 hour podcast couldn't cover! Best podcast for a while
20 hours wouldnt cover it hes lived hell of a life
Great interview !really enjoyed Roger & the young man interviewing, interesting ! Informative,heard these stories for years great to actually hear the truth !
I'd have to say the most interesting podcast I ever listened to!!! This man's story is a must hear. Thank you for this!👍
This is an AMAZING STORY. I was literally on the edge of my seat the whole time. Fantastic job on the interview. Best interview I have seen in years!
This is the best podcast I’ve ever heard!
What a fabulous interview!
I’m ready to hear this guys stories for the rest of my life! Such an interesting man and a great outlook on life. He has a smile of a genuine grandfather.
Roger is an absolute legend, I spent time in jail with him in Perth Western Australia
Wow how long did u serve?
What was he in Australian jail for?
@@jonny-b4954 your goofy
@@ronniehdable That's not fair giving him all of goofy. Save some for the rest of us (your/you're)
@@themorningstar6272 no, that is his goofy. It's certainly not your goofy, nor is it mine.
Roger's a true country boy who made his way .. someone too really ride the river with .. maybe the greatest adventurer of all time.
Wow those stories had me hooked will definitely listen to the audio book ,what a great voice for it.Thank you loved it.Cheers Stephen
I'm watching every interview with Roger Reaves that I can find. I love listening to him tell stories
Danny the content is amazing. One of the best podcasts yet. Crazy about the lion that eats the infant and the frozen dude that thawed out. 😳. I want the book now.
Get the book, its epic
Fantastic book... And ALL true.
Really like this gentleman.
What a story.. I stayed glued
One of the best interviews on RUclips
This is my first time hearing about this guy. I can already tell you he is an American treasure. He was an outlaw but he is such an honest down to earth guy. Reminds me of my grandpa
"No I didn't move anymore cocaine....oh wait...I forgot....I hauled $400 million worth and got caught in Australia". 😄
I cannot believe this doesn’t have even 1 million views best podcast I’ve ever seen
This man was not afraid to live his life! Good or bad, he fricken lived it! I strive to never lose my sense of adventure like Mr.Roger! Stay healthy, and keep living good sir
This man is a legend. Literally every story has enough excitement that a normal person could live in a whole lifetime. I wonder why hes just now deciding to do interviews? And i see all the people saying how the stories are incoherent and random but i dont think any interviewer could have possibly anticipated he would be this articulate and good with telling the stories and after all, its ALLOT of information. Literally his whole life he was doing something crazy everyday. Great video bro thank you for this gem
He's the kindest drug smuggler in RUclips history.
I think he just got released from prison in the last year or two.
He was in prison!!
He lived a hell of a life
And I don't care what anybody says he's NOT a criminal in my eyes
This little old man is a national treasure! I could listen to him all day! Like sitting on the front porch talking to grandpa!
True. Roger remind myself of a late cousin of mine so much. He stayed right on boarder line of the law his whole life. Yes he crossed line few times and spent time in jail over it.. But very soft spoken, very easy guy get along with you couldn't help from liking the guy. That appears how Roger is. I love to listen to him tell his stories. And Roger got the official history you know he is not lying. Guy need atleast a high budget documentary made of his life. He lived a thousand lifetime's in 1 of our normal lifetime's. Wasn't nothing boring about Roger's life.
Oustanding interview ❤❤❤ love that you interview authentic people like Jihn Reaves. I wish all the best to him and his family🙏❤
Superb Danny your doing great interviews finding the best people with the best stories and your interviewing technique has grown a lot congratulations it’s look and sounding great
Guest was a legend... Incredibly corrupt does not begin to describe the actors involved in such things, completely unbeknownst to the general public, and strictly forbidden to speak about. Being a sixth generation Floridian with family roots all throughout south FL I've learned about a thing or two... I know many stories about Mr. Reeves, having grown up in the offshore powerboating, gunsmithing, and aviation business; my father has worked in the aviation business since he was a kid (solo'd at 16), and he grew up around some of the OG offshore powerboat racing crowd/boat builders. One of my dad's good friends (famous boat builder Don Aronow) was murdered by some of the same shady people that ran in the crowds Mr. Reeves and Barry Seal knew... Namely Ben Kramer the hitman he hired to kill Aronow, Bobby Young. Kramer was part of the Myer Lansky crime family, a man who has a long history of connections to a certain country/intelligence agency, who to this day are seldom known to have been associated with enormous events in U.S./international history... Events in history such as the JFK assassination (via Permindex front company), RFK assassination, Israel/MOSSAD stealing 600 lbs of enriched uranium from the NUMEC plant in Pennsyvannia, and then smuggling it to Israel (known as "the Apollo Affair"), and much much more... I'm sure Mr. Reeves didn't want to mention too much as he's still afraid of the consequences, but be assured he was around said people, having hinted about his stay in a synagogue during this podcast. As history, and recent events have shown (Kanye's comments), lets just say that there is a certain group of people you dare not criticize that have a huge involvement in many facets of government, media, shady events history, ect... Let's just say Barry Seal was not given any protection and allowed to be murdered because he knew too much, having been exposed to crooked ass people such as the whole Arkansas crowd (Clintons), Ollie North (CIA), Myer Lansky (MOSSAD), ect... Just a bit of a tip, next time do a little more research on your guests so you don't interrupt the flow... It was still a great show, and I'm sure it'll only get better in time...
One of my thoughts was how does this host not know anything about any of the stuff he’s talking about? Some of this stuff is well known. I had to remind myself that he’s probably many years younger than me
Woa. W ild ride
Number 1 story teller and interview on your channel
You have to try & be a person they are interested in talking to, allow the memories as well as the story to flow. These types of guy LOVE telling their stores, allow it PLEASE
I have never really sat and listen to a complete podcast but this was amazing you held my attention this was great due the story but you are great interviewer not over coming but you just as invested as your viewer where you listen and knew what question to ask thank you for your kindness I'm hooked
I could listen to this guy read the phone book!
This interview needs a redo
What a great interview. My first experience in your channel, will not be my last.
Great content. Very mature and professional. Hope the best of luck and success.
Yes I did subscribed and rang the bell.
love what you're doing man! i cannot wait to see this keep growing and where you'll be. You are a great interviewer.
Always.... please.... ensure that the guest mic is TURNED UP during these long interviews. Very interesting interview.
This guy is awesome! One of the best guest so far
This is for sure the most interesting guest on this channel!
Holy CRAP!!!!!!!! Super entertaining. Reading his book would be a trip! Excellent interview!
Maybe the most amazing 2.5hrs I have ever spent listening to someone in my life. Just unbelievable story after unbelievable story.
The Matthew Cox - Conman interview/story is of the same 'can't stop listening ' calibre.
This guy is such a sweetheart. His stories almost don’t seem real. I would love to talk to this guy one day. What a life… it doesn’t seem possible
Love it! Great job!
What an inspiring man of infinite wisdom. How he can stay so jovial and speak so joyfully after the insufferable things he’s seen and been through is truly something to behold.
Sociopath
@@skrilla5983 you should probably learn what that means because he’s far from it
@@boyerindustrieshe would make a better POTUS than Biden 100%
This could be a 10 episode series on any platform and probably still not cover everything. Great story.
Excelente interview.. I enjoyed it but the last part was to me was unforgetable. Like all people now are finding out about about having a mother and father in the house. But also a good mother and father.
Great show to the both of you.
Despite the comments I think Danny did a great job, his got stories for days and when your that age I imagine it would blend into one, not only that when your telling a story old memories come back aswell, everytime I was confused Danny pulled him up and got him to break it down perfectly
This is the type of shit they NEED to make movies about
They already have. Its not about him, but ‘American Made’ starring Tom Cruise is very similar.
Read his book, ita much better
Absolutely..!
American Made
I didnt know he put barry on lmao he was the plug for a movie that made millions
This podcast was so good I slowed it down instead of speeding it up!!!
Wow what a life roger lived.
He has to be thankful for his wife and his life to come.
Thank you for this one
i fell in love with this old man ... i wish he were my grand dad ...... the stories are amazing .... what a life ... keep bringing this content @koncrete
He could be the new Bob Ross with the way he speaks.
I thought I was the only one who made this relation! This is Bob Ross's mean ass brother, who had both set of their balls!

@@YOUNGNGRATEFUL hhahahahahhaahahhahahahahahahahah
You got a new sub! What a great pod!!
I wished u knew more about Barry Seal and a few other topics he brought up. So many missed questions but still a good interview. I bet Roger has so much knowledge on all sides of the drug business
Please have Roger back on for an 8 hour podcast immediately!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, to stall a DC-3 like that and recover at low level means he was an extremely talented and ballsy pilot. It weighs a lot and was a tank. It's like flying a bus. Getting shot with 20mm cannon and .50 cal in the tail, for it to stay in the air at level flight is a challenge, but for him to pull that stunt... That is absolutely insane.
Those DC 3 might have been the best airplane ever made.
Roger Reeves, what an incredible life story. Inwill definitely be purchasing your book. I would prefer to purchase the audio book narrated by Mr. Reeves. Really enjoyed this podcast.
Lots was still left on the table, but still, great job.
Take care.
Guest are always great. Interviewer needs some work lol but respect the hustle! Thanks for providing this for us!
