I can’t get enough of these podcasts literally! Makes me think of the past deployments but also helps heal from the pain too. I love this Shawn and I’m starting to pay for Patron come Jan! I literally talk to my therapist about your interviews just for the fact there is things I didn’t have the balls to say or couldn’t just say it right that your guests have said it perfectly. Your a big influence on my life and I honest can say you have made me a better Man, Father, Son, and Friend because of your ability to have that deep conversation with people that others can’t do because your a veteran yourself. I love your content man and I pray for you and your family every day! ❤
I remember when your channel Vigilance Elite started, and would do story times and other tips, minor skits and the 1st interview i remember was around to bonfire with Robert, Latrell, you, Rutt, and the active no name, talking buds and Red Wings, and i was hooked, and just was like man this channel needs recognition. Finally a channel breaking down deployments, missions, in detail, asking great questions, not interrupting and so happy you blew up and getting great numbers. Well deserved!
@ShawnRyanClips I don't know how this video or any other can get 32000 views and only 1000 likes. That's just ridiculous. Love how you ask questions and actually let people answer in the fullest. Amazing shit man keep doing this
I had Jason as a student when I taught at BUD/s. I had heard the injuries, short story version but never the details of the contact/fire fight/fire mission. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the survival of the team. Thank God for TCCC!!!!
I watch these to make myself realize how little I’ve done to help keep the people who live in this country free and how much I owe to those who have literally given everything. I have so much respect for these men 🇺🇸
@@TheeBadTakeThey have to do whatever it takes to win, and survive. If you were in that situation you would’ve done the exact same thing. It was his cousin, and they didn’t think the enemy would kill his own.
@@TheeBadTakeWhat,better than one of his men,not for the kid,but for him,it really sucked to watch kid die,but better than his men,Wtf,How do you even intend to know what this man thinks,Idk what I'm even texting for,have a nice day?
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jason Redman a couple of times, and bought his book for my Dad. He shared his story with us at this event, and I was volunteering photographing the event (a fundraiser honoring veterans) and Redman looked at me and joked “I hope you get lots of photos of me, this face cost 2 million bucks, and it’s super sexy”, LOL. He was so freakin cool I’ll never forget it.
They did a great job, most definitely. can’t imagine how painful all that was, but you’d never know it by meeting him, he has a great attitude about life. He knew how to put ppl at ease too, which I was impressed by. Ppl get nervous, not knowing where to look, not wanting to stare or whatever, and not knowing what to say, but he dispels it so easily. I admire him a great deal, for sure. :)
These men totally fascinate me. I don't know what it is in their lives that gave them such courage. It's way not me, but I admire the crap out of them.
If you were to ask them, they would probably say something like “relentless repetition.” All armies know that the more you practice drills, the more you function automatically, without having to reflect and think about what to do which takes time. Time is a luxury you may not have in a live or die situation. However, what makes a guy seek out dangerous activities or professions and why are some people more courageous or less fearful than others? I think it has to do with their brain configuration. In other words, their biology. For example, we know there is a difference between the brain of a psychopath and that of the average guy. A psychopath is not stimulated by ‘normal’ experiences and they seek and need to create extreme situations in order to feel stimulated. They neither feel fear nor empathy in the same way we do. I am not saying special forces guys are psychopaths. I am suggesting that their tolerance for extremely stressful situations is much higher than the average Joe’s. Also, they seem to be drawn to danger in the same way an extreme sportsmen is. A study was made on Spanish matadors. They scanned their brains and compared them to an average brain. They found that they either lacked a certain chemical or a part of their brain was much smaller than average (can’t remember which). This meant their fear threshold was much greater than average and could stand quite calmly in front of a charging bull without flinching.
@@777xinoyou may be right, but at the end of the day it is a job and a duty. I’ve never been a SEAL but I’ve been to the hardest regular army schools and to com
Without a doubt Shawn this is the most professional, raw and hard hitting channel on YT. Can’t get enough of it. You’re a brilliant interviewer and I simply don’t have the words to describe how much respect and gratitude I have for all your guests and the stories they share ✊
Yes!!!!!!!I was thinking the same thing man I can't sit long time to watch videos and I watch every second of this one.... thank u sr for ur great content God bless, keep pushing..
It’s a miracle he is still alive. This is one of the most riveting stories that I have heard and the way he describes it I can see everything happening. God bless Super heroes like this and God bless Shawn for putting their stories out for us. More people should hear what our soldiers go through and realize what they sacrifice for us.
@TheeBadTake Listen to DJ's version of the story. The kid was not "forced". But since all you want to do is sit on your butt in the RUclips comments and judge some of the best men in the world I can already guess you won't take the time to go and listen to DJ's version of the story.
My Grandfather (mom’s Dad) took 4 rounds from a machine gun to the face in Northern Italy and kept fighting. Only 3 from his platoon made it. They picked up weapons from fallen enemies & comrades to fight out of their situation. Due to material priorities for porcelain, they initially rebuilt his upper jaw with gold. A dentist in the states liberated it from him when they rebuilt it again. The picture of the 3 survivors has him with the bandage across lower face.
Both of these two long form interviews left me stunned by the tenacity , bravery, and sheer will of these amazing men. Thank you Shawn for giving them the safety to open up like never before...
Bravery? Did you not listen to the story? I wonder if the kid who was forced to go up the stairs in his place respects him as much as you do. Anything but brave. Funny how he decided not to go after the kid gets chopped in half.
My dad first was deployed to Iraq in 2003 and he was a gunner on a hummvee and the driver told him something and my dad couldn't hear the driver, so he lowered himself down and heard a bullet wiz past his ear. He told me in full detail about it long after I turned 20.
@@northw3st78 what about all the others that died? Why didn’t lord jeez stop that? Mainly because life has nothing to do with a make believe man choosing to save or not save people.
These men are the REAL BADASS OF THE WORLD!!! THANK YOU ALL WHO'S SERVERING AND THOSE WHOS SERVED. YOU ALL ARE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO PROTECT US CITIZENS 🇺🇸 !!! THANK YOU
I think it's awesome that you have given these men a platform to tell their stories and get their feelings out. That's a lot of emotions to keep on your chest and carry on your shoulders. Plus i could sit and listen for days to these guys tell about what they went through. My upmost respect to all of you guys and to Shawn for giving them and us a platform to hear these tales. Thank you and God bless
Just want to thank you guys for sharing your stories !! Just know that there are men out there that did not serve who absolutely support you all and are so thankful for your service !! Thank you , we love you all !!
I've watched both episodes in full 💯 I had known about Redmans story for a good while, but I've never heard of Shipley until his interview. That guy is a American Badass!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Man I stumbled on this channel because of a random YT short. I’ve been hooked ever since. Every guest I’ve seen thus far is top notch. The stories, the open conversation setting is done so well.
The ShawnRyanShow is hands down the best on the internet. Straight to the questions and no bs and also make the guest feel comfortable. Shawn I appreciate the hard work and dedication you put into these videos, interviews, and most important the people who support you. God bless you
Phenomenal video! Thank you Shawn for bringing those brave veterans on this show. It’s incredible to know these people and to get a glimpse of what they’ve experienced throughout their lives.
Imagine how frustrating it must be that you have all that technology and all the latest weaponry,in conjuction with nightvision capable aerial assets,and you still take casualties and can't take the enemy... It must be enfuriating to be in that situation.
God bless our troops!! The finest men period hands down thank you for letting them tell their stories about their lives in the hot zone your show is amazing and the troops you’ve had are ALL HEROS
Reading a book on special forces exploits is very enlightening, but hearing it from the warriors who directly experienced it.......its a whole different education.
I served with Kilo Co. 11.8.04 Operation Phantom Fury, with the Thundering Third 3/1. I just wanna say to Ryan.. I absolutely love the way you interview our badasses ..you let them explain without interrupting plus your laugh makes my sister laugh..Keep doing this brother. Semper Gumbi.
I watch SRS and SR clips on days I’m in a bad mood/complaining too much/rude to people/having a bad day/feeling down/etc. just to remind myself how fucking lucky I am. Had a long day at work (mental health therapist) and found out a former client(veteran client) took his own life, and for some reason I gravitated to watching this video. The way they speak about their experiences and the level of human being that these two men is just breathtaking. Idk how watching this tonight helped me but it definitely did. I even started tearing up watching. I appreciate what SRS does so much. Just thought I’d share!
These stories are so powerful. I am in awe of these men. Their bravery and resillience leaves me emotionally spent. I am humbled by the sacrifices they made and the pain they endured. Both physical and mental. I love you guys. Thank you all.
Hey dude I love your channel! Having grown up in a family where both parents were in World War 2 I find it really interesting, compelling to hear all the terminology and the strategies and the tactics used. Reminds me of my dad who served in the US Navy, South Pacific during WW2. To say thank you for your service is understatement but I am thanking you and your guests for your service to this amazing country!
I am so glad we have men like this serving our country and the brothers next to him, and thanks for letting them tell these stories. How has no politician ever put a bill that the kids of these heroes get into any college of their choice free and/or no property taxes ever
These guys are real heroes! If anyone should make millions for doing a job it's these guys. Not the athletes we glorify. Not the influencers who have no appreciable skills. If you need some perspective, listen to this.
One of the Greatest descriptions ever. I could visually see in my head where everyone was and what manoeuvre he was describing. I love this so much better than reading. It's tense 😬 absolute Legends 💯
I do jiu jitsu with a guy who was jtac and he was explaining his job and whatever to radio in a10 planes. The whole time he was explaining I was thinking how tf do these guys communicate with each other at all effectively when people are screaming and shooting at the same?! Absolute insanity
Repetition. The terminology used is consistent, so you know you have to say certain things to be understood; you know you’ll be understood when you use the familiar terminology.
@@KH-rt3ef Precisely. They're trained in the key words/key sentences that they're taught WILL save their lives, so when they need their lives and the lives of others saved its just basically a mantra. I'd guess, particularly at the end of a deployment with nightly missions like a SEAL Assault Team, that a audio playbacks of missions would almost sound like a broken record and that's exactly how it's designed so when the words are muddled by everyone is yelling/screaming those key words are still defined and clear to one's capable of listening.
A year later lol but shawn just had a fighter pilot on his podcast and the pilot said there was a seal coordinating an air attack while he was running and shooting his rifle with one hand at the same time the whole time the pilot was watching him from above pretty fken crazy lol
I cant imagine the emotions you must feel talking about brothers in arms and telling stories that involve them when some may not be here anymore either be it by combat or freak accidents like the gentleman drowning on leave. It has to be hard to talk about some of the ones no longer with us and knowing they shared experiences with you that no one will ever comprehend...
When you’re a kid you think Superman, Batman, Thor and Black Panther are hero’s but when you get older you realize these guys are the real definition of what HEROS are
This needs to be made into a modern day band of brothers episode. Thanks you guys are all heroes and your stories should be taught in school to help our country.
God bless you Shawn and all the men and women who served. I was blessed to serve in the Army. Please continue to bring these amazing heros in for a chat. Best podcast out there
Listening him talk about coming up with a plan to attack the guys on the roof from the stairwell I cannot even imagine how a person can process everything that’s going on at that time with everything that’s going on between the gunfire and the grenades along with the screaming and yelling not to mention people could be dying in front of you and then to be able to actually come up with a decisive plan is truly amazing and that is why these guys are the best in the world at what they do!
The only channel I have subscribed to in terms of Patreon- Next to family there nothing more important than those than served regardless of rank or capacity!
For years I've watched Don's videos and always noticed this shadow box on the wall behind him. It has a bronze star and a magazine with a dent in it. Always wondered what the significance behind it was until I heard this story on Thanksgiving. Pretty incredible story.
More than their dreams man.. these are the type of scars that haunt your daily life. You can never unsee, forget the sound or the smell that’s burned into their being. Thank you men for your bravery and sacrifice. No one will ever know the price you paid even when you walked away without a physical wound. 🙏
Even the stories from years and years ago. Told by these amazing men and women who defend our freedom puts you right back. No better collection then the recollection of the brave and you gather all of this in podcast and it puts me right there as they are fighting. Theres not a movie that will ever be able to tell more then these brave soldiers can just through others imagination. 100 times over I will forever respect you and all of those that have went to protect our country. THANK YOU!
This dude is a true badass. For those that don’t know his story, you should really look into it. Talk about a true warrior who never gave up and refused to take no for an answer😎💪
These guys give a candid glimpse into the life of a tier 1 operator. No holds barred - the stories they tell are as honest as they can be without giving up any trade secret. They aren't glorifying the horrific truths of war, they are giving the average Joe an honest view into the lives of the men and women who risk it all in order to keep bad men from doing worse things to the United States.
Read his book when it first came out, its surreal hearing the story from multiple PoVs, this video format is awesome. When possible Shawn you should do these collaborations of PoVs on stories that overlap between guests it's really neat.
I’m from a military family. I try to remember I get to be free and do the right thing because I stand upon the shoulders and reputation of some pretty brave MF’rs. Thank you!
This is such an insane story . We got into some pretty rough situations in Afghanistan , but these dudes are on another level of chaos . I can’t even imagine being shot in the face and having my arm almost shot off
The word “hero” doesn’t do these service men and women justice. This man is a walking, breathing legend. Thank you, to everyone for answering the ultimate call
the part where he just shot up out of unconsciousness “put that effing grenade away before you kill us all” and then just immediately passing out again🤣🤣🤣 thats fight or flight if I’ve ever heard it, what a well trained dude.
These interviews/amazing stories are like 5 hours long and once I turn one on I can’t take a break until I’m atleast like 3 hours deep lol these shows keep you totally attentive because it’s so interesting! I love our hero’s, thanks for your service shawn and thanks to everyone else on the show 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As an Infantryman who deployed to Iraq (2005). Conducted somewhere around 270 trips outside the wire in Baghdad AO (Adhamiya / Abu Ghraib), in a 365 day deployment… I really am Lucky to be Alive. The early GWOT boys, we arnt the Greatest Generation… but we did our Best.
They all have that same half laugh. Like it was the most not funny thing ever but they just had to laugh that they made it through. Thank you for your service.
When I listen to these stories, I feel shame for not serving my country. These guys are beyond comprehension. I hope they all get peace when they come home, but I know that rarely happens.
I have no military experience, but if you want to know about leadership, reach out. 20% the right decision, 80% the right relationship. Trust, Faith, Conviction.
I’ve watched both these interviews hundreds of times and I still never get tired of them. It’s like I’m listening to them the first time all over again. Proper warriors ❤🫡
What do you say after hearing something like this. Really don't know except that these men deserve everyones utmost deepest respect. True heros. I am happy that our country is now a member of NATO, and we Will fight with you. Until the end. Henrik, Finland
I’m so unbelievably happy to have found Shawn’s show these are some absolutely amazing interviews thank u so much Shawn and thank u to every single man on this show for everything they’ve done for us
Yep, damn Skippy. Talk about interesting, engaging, and with a class born from experience. Hell yea Shaun your popular for a reason. From Down to earth interviews with guys who are the true tip of the spear, to a young north Korean girl who escaped. Man your kill in it brother. Thank you.

These guys are real heroes! If anyone should make millions for doing a job it's these guys. Not the athletes we glorify. Not the influencers who have no appreciable skills. If you need some perspective, listen to this.
Getting the story told from different perspectives is truly amazing
One of the Greatest descriptions ever. I could visually see in my head where everyone was and what manoeuvre he was describing. I love this so much better than reading. It's tense 😬 absolute Legends 💯
I do jiu jitsu with a guy who was jtac and he was explaining his job and whatever to radio in a10 planes. The whole time he was explaining I was thinking how tf do these guys communicate with each other at all effectively when people are screaming and shooting at the same?! Absolute insanity
Repetition. The terminology used is consistent, so you know you have to say certain things to be understood; you know you’ll be understood when you use the familiar terminology.
@@KH-rt3ef Precisely. They're trained in the key words/key sentences that they're taught WILL save their lives, so when they need their lives and the lives of others saved its just basically a mantra. I'd guess, particularly at the end of a deployment with nightly missions like a SEAL Assault Team, that a audio playbacks of missions would almost sound like a broken record and that's exactly how it's designed so when the words are muddled by everyone is yelling/screaming those key words are still defined and clear to one's capable of listening.
A year later lol but shawn just had a fighter pilot on his podcast and the pilot said there was a seal coordinating an air attack while he was running and shooting his rifle with one hand at the same time the whole time the pilot was watching him from above pretty fken crazy lol
Best channel ever and I love listening to these true heroes speak. Emotionally overwhelming to me.
Red your still alive? 🤣 these f*ckin dudes are gangster af. Thanks for everything you vatos go through and your familys. Much love and respect ✌🏼🇺🇲🇲🇽
I cant imagine the emotions you must feel talking about brothers in arms and telling stories that involve them when some may not be here anymore either be it by combat or freak accidents like the gentleman drowning on leave. It has to be hard to talk about some of the ones no longer with us and knowing they shared experiences with you that no one will ever comprehend...
Only if you bin places where you can be killed you know exactly what he’s saying. . X 11 B INFANTRYMAN 🎖️504th Airborne Regiment
When you’re a kid you think Superman, Batman, Thor and Black Panther are hero’s but when you get older you realize these guys are the real definition of what HEROS are
This needs to be made into a modern day band of brothers episode. Thanks you guys are all heroes and your stories should be taught in school to help our country.
God bless you Shawn and all the men and women who served. I was blessed to serve in the Army. Please continue to bring these amazing heros in for a chat. Best podcast out there
Love you put the two on here together from the same fight.
Retired LS1 here. I love your channel
My favorite line from this interview "roger that here he comes"
42:21 - “roger that. Standby bro, ‘cause he’s coming”. The most badass, cool guy quote ever.
This guy sounded like a good leader. Glad to have you on our team man.
God bless America!
Thank you for your service, you ARE hero’s who went through living hell and deserve so much more accolades than you are ever given.
Listening him talk about coming up with a plan to attack the guys on the roof from the stairwell I cannot even imagine how a person can process everything that’s going on at that time with everything that’s going on between the gunfire and the grenades along with the screaming and yelling not to mention people could be dying in front of you and then to be able to actually come up with a decisive plan is truly amazing and that is why these guys are the best in the world at what they do!
The only channel I have subscribed to in terms of Patreon- Next to family there nothing more important than those than served regardless of rank or capacity!
For years I've watched Don's videos and always noticed this shadow box on the wall behind him. It has a bronze star and a magazine with a dent in it. Always wondered what the significance behind it was until I heard this story on Thanksgiving. Pretty incredible story.
Wow these guys are just built different! Warriors and kids at the same time 19 years old, DJ is a cool character for real!
DJ's description of that gunfight is real seat of the pants stuff. It's a real five star interview, that one.
We owe you guys everything. Thank you for your service!
J thought he was in the field alone during the fire mission. DJ thought everybody was behind the tire. Crazy shit. God bless these guys.
It’s amazing how many hits the human body can take without dying. I’m glad you guys are here to tell your stories. Are your dreams still haunted?
More than their dreams man.. these are the type of scars that haunt your daily life. You can never unsee, forget the sound or the smell that’s burned into their being.
Thank you men for your bravery and sacrifice. No one will ever know the price you paid even when you walked away without a physical wound.
🙏
ROY BENEVIDES IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE
Even the stories from years and years ago. Told by these amazing men and women who defend our freedom puts you right back. No better collection then the recollection of the brave and you gather all of this in podcast and it puts me right there as they are fighting. Theres not a movie that will ever be able to tell more then these brave soldiers can just through others imagination. 100 times over I will forever respect you and all of those that have went to protect our country.
THANK YOU!
This dude is a true badass. For those that don’t know his story, you should really look into it. Talk about a true warrior who never gave up and refused to take no for an answer😎💪
These guys give a candid glimpse into the life of a tier 1 operator. No holds barred - the stories they tell are as honest as they can be without giving up any trade secret. They aren't glorifying the horrific truths of war, they are giving the average Joe an honest view into the lives of the men and women who risk it all in order to keep bad men from doing worse things to the United States.
Read his book when it first came out, its surreal hearing the story from multiple PoVs, this video format is awesome. When possible Shawn you should do these collaborations of PoVs on stories that overlap between guests it's really neat.
I’m from a military family. I try to remember I get to be free and do the right thing because I stand upon the shoulders and reputation of some pretty brave MF’rs. Thank you!
This has to be one of the best interview duos.
Another awesome interview and an American hero as your guest! 🇺🇸
Thanks Shawn. You get better every episode brother. Stay safe.
Matt
Cheers
You know you’re a stone cold badass when Shawn Ryan hits you with the “Fuuuck, man” 😂
Love his interviews
This is such an insane story . We got into some pretty rough situations in Afghanistan , but these dudes are on another level of chaos . I can’t even imagine being shot in the face and having my arm almost shot off
This story is unbelievable. This man is something else.
The word “hero” doesn’t do these service men and women justice. This man is a walking, breathing legend. Thank you, to everyone for answering the ultimate call
I can listen to these stories for days on end.
I loved how he said 1 guy engaged Dj and they smoke checked him
the part where he just shot up out of unconsciousness “put that effing grenade away before you kill us all” and then just immediately passing out again🤣🤣🤣 thats fight or flight if I’ve ever heard it, what a well trained dude.
These interviews/amazing stories are like 5 hours long and once I turn one on I can’t take a break until I’m atleast like 3 hours deep lol these shows keep you totally attentive because it’s so interesting! I love our hero’s, thanks for your service shawn and thanks to everyone else on the show 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
As an Infantryman who deployed to Iraq (2005). Conducted somewhere around 270 trips outside the wire in Baghdad AO (Adhamiya / Abu Ghraib), in a 365 day deployment… I really am Lucky to be Alive. The early GWOT boys, we arnt the Greatest Generation… but we did our Best.
I swear this podcast is one of the best ones out there. Keep up the great work
They all have that same half laugh. Like it was the most not funny thing ever but they just had to laugh that they made it through. Thank you for your service.
This man is a hero. Wow Im blown away at this story. The things hes seen and went through.
So thankful for Men like this and thank you for your service.
Best thing Shawn ever did was decide to piece these stories together. It’s fucking genius
Incredible valor. To all these guys and you Shawn thank you.
When I listen to these stories, I feel shame for not serving my country. These guys are beyond comprehension. I hope they all get peace when they come home, but I know that rarely happens.
Holy shit I forgot how fucking good the Jason interview was and DJs!!!
I have no military experience, but if you want to know about leadership, reach out. 20% the right decision, 80% the right relationship. Trust, Faith, Conviction.
I’ve watched both these interviews hundreds of times and I still never get tired of them. It’s like I’m listening to them the first time all over again. Proper warriors ❤🫡
What do you say after hearing something like this. Really don't know except that these men deserve everyones utmost deepest respect. True heros. I am happy that our country is now a member of NATO, and we Will fight with you. Until the end. Henrik, Finland
I am in awe. I cant believe it. Thank you.
No matter how many times I hear this story it still continues to move me, this is down range we’re hot metal meets the flesh.
Merry Christmas Shawn 🍃💚🍃❤️🍃
✨🎁✨🎄✨🔥✨
Love this interview - very inspirational - Redemption

“Rodger that, stand by bro cuz here he comes.” 🐺🔥
Yep, damn Skippy. Talk about interesting, engaging, and with a class born from experience. Hell yea Shaun your popular for a reason. From Down to earth interviews with guys who are the true tip of the spear, to a young north Korean girl who escaped. Man your kill in it brother.
Thank you.
"J--grab my arm and grab my helmet! I'm going to the helicopter."
Lmao, I love it. I love these guys. Much respect.
Hollywood has to make a good movie about these guys thank you for service Sir
Such a handsome young man!
Thank you for sharing your story.
Thank you and your family for serving our country.
