Sir you're literally talking about the ASV as I'm driving past 2 on the trailer of a semi as I'm heading home from work on i-70 LOL 26:23 Or at least it sounds like you're talking about the one I just drove by. The m 1117 ASV -32?
Respect for Flo reliving his trauma for the pod. Definitely could tell he was feeling it but maintained composure. Loved this change of pace guest wise. 💪🏼
So the Concussion or energy from the blast you guys were talking about is called "Blast Over pressure". I'm an EOD guy with 3 tours in Iraq and TBI as well. I didn't find out about my TBI until almost 12 years after my last tour. TBI also plays hell on PTSD. You have more than 3 times the chance of committing suicide when you suffer from TBI and PTSD over someone suffering from just PTSD. It's a tough road to get back on track with your life without counseling. Getting help saved my life. I was very close to chewing on a gun barrel just a few years ago because I didn't understand what was happening to me. Thanks to some fellow EOD guys that were going through the same thing they told about getting an MRI and thank fully I did. Now that I knew what part of the problem was I was able to start getting treatment in the right way. The VA finally came out in a formal article last year (2023) that somewhere between 61,000 to possibly over 100,000 Veterans have committed suicide in the last 20 years.
Eli....This right here is the type of video content that I Believe could reach out to our Brothers and Sisters who are suffering in silence, my nephew was visiting when I was watching this episode and he's been carrying darkness for years, it was the First time I saw him laugh...he was involved with the content. Usually he'll sit in a corner, moving a chair so his back is against the wall and he doesn't talk very much ever...but watching this video he was himself again, for most of the night long after the episode was over....THANK YOU and Those Guys !!!!! Please consider doing more of this, it DOES Help.
It's not the video or content that did it, you did by finding a relation point. Not downgrading the content, but a person won't relate or open without wanting to somewhere, deep or shallow.
I was was the commanders driver and our captain didn't make it to the field so I had a 23yo first lieutenant who just got out of college a couple years ago and I'm an e4 coming up on retirement as his driver in the swamps. There was a lot of "sir get back in the truck, we're doing some redneck shit and the guys shooting at us are pussies, I shot their helicopter down yesterday. Geronimo likes to flex but they can't hold a candle to mountain boys because we shoot everything.
This podcast has really helped me. I was a combat engineer and got out of the Army in 2013 after a TBI. I love you guys and look forward to every podcast. Thank you guys for all you do.
Lads, Eli needs to be counterassaulted with the love and support that he gives out. I've never seen a more wholesome person in this type of space before. When it comes to helping another creator to just doing things to see if it'll stick to the wall, Eli always puts maximum effort into it. Eli, it's that drive that you have that keeps a lot of people going, including myself. Love you and all the Unsub Lads and Ladies there. Keep breaking the mold! Keep moving forward!!
Eli is a mother hen. I just love how he's always trying to make his guests and fellow interviewers feel welcome and heard. He's so sweet. I just love him. ❤️
I suffered a terrible life changing accident last year. Y'all have helped me stay positive on my road to recovery. Grateful for the content keep it up.
Heartfelts by Eli are so much better than any intro song! Thank you Unsubscribe crew for all your hard work in making this podcast! Y'all make so many days better and brighter, and the laughs just keep rollin! Love y'all!
1:32:00 When I was in, certain MOSs were permitted to wear their tags on their belt instead of their necks. I was in medical and I heard that mechanics were allowed to as well.
Back in September 26 2022 I lost my girlfriend in a roll over accident she was ejected I was in the vehicle behind her for a few months I did not want to talk to anybody my work even started to suffer by chance I stumbled across the unsubscribe podcast started listening to everyone's stories and you especially Eli and from everyone's comments I've learned it's not good to bottle it up I slowly started talking with close friends and family about so here's what I learned from my experience yes its difficult at first to open up at first and difficult to relive that memory but the more you talk about the less it weighs on your mind you will never forget that memory I'll always have good memories of her to always think about to get me through I've now got to the point where my friends can bring up old memories of all of us doing something fun or stupid and can laugh with a slight tear of happiness in my eye like yeah that was so fun while remembering her not having flash backs to the accident and not having anxiety attacks so to Eli the hosts the guests and everyone in the comments thank you all so very much from the bottom of my heart 😊
I got involuntarily medically retired in August, and these podcasts are one of the things that keep me going... I joined as a 17 year-old kid, and got the boot after 17 years of service... It's been a pretty difficult transition- I've realized that I don't know how to "be a civilian", and losing the entire suppoet structure I was used to has been ROUGH... So thank you guys for doing this every week- it reminds me that things'll get better, and I'll eventually adapt.
I've really been missing my granny for the past few days. Thank you, Eli for helping me take my mind off of my loss. I look forward to every new episode. You guys are the best.
1:50:51 in the prequels they did have physical sabers. Ewan McGregor talks about them accidentally hitting each other with them a lot. New movies problem was mostly that Daisy Ridley was just NOT built for stunts/choreography stuff in the slightest
Love you guys so much! You cannot deny the sincerity in Eli’s voice, this is truly one of the greatest podcast because there is no sugar coated bs, just real people hanging out showing nothing but love.
I love all you guys! Y'all have helped me through a very dark period in my life. It's not the first one. 2007 I came home from work and found my fiance had killed herself. This time I got bad sick first of October. Pneumonia. Had to have surgery to remove an abscess the size of a grapefruit from my right lung. Went back to work 2 weeks ago. Broke as fuck. 2 days ago I broke a rib. Still working. I dread a cough or a sneeze, but I haven't given up. You guys are my best friends and drinking buddies. God bless you all!
Eli's opening.....made me almost start to cry. Woulda felt nice Thank you guys. Even if its an hour. Its an hour i get to forget the world for a bit. Thank you all.
I always love these "a message from Eli" moments. Not enough podcasts really shout out the love for the crew behind the scenes. God I love it here!❤ Eli you truly are the heart and soul of this podcast. Seriously you and everybody on the unsub team are amazing people. I'm pretty confident I speak for the majority of this community when I say we fucking love you guys!
Eli is just the sweetest man. A true caregiver type. Few and far between. I'm so glad to see him in a steady relationship with the beautiful, sweet Savvy.
Eli, you may see this, you may not, I’m sitting in my room playing with my range kit, and hearing that message at the beginning hit me deep. You dont know me, and I don’t know you personally, but you feel like a good friend/mentor to me. I’ve been feeling kinda down cause life is.. well, life. That gave me hope, gave me joy, and I wanna thank you for that. You’re now my internet dad 🙂
... I literally only found out about this podcast a few weeks ago and I've started from the beginning I'm already 50 episodes or so in you guys are great
As a wheeled mechanic with H8 Identifier, I ALWAYS looped my dog tags around my belt and tucked into my pocket. It's less hassle when laying under a truck and they slide around to your back or just some other nuisance while in the motorpool or doing recovery operation.
Thank you so much Eli, you are truly awesome. Your little speeches are really something, they personally help me a lot. And I know they help others. Great job with the podcast! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
1:31:45 about the dog tags around the belt, in out unit (us in second platoon) because we're mostly mechanics and it keeps it from falling out of our shirts when we're working on trucks. it's like the not having gloves on or jewelry as it is a hanging, non-body object that can get caught
Honestly the best group of guests to be on the show so far, it was great to hear about everyones different experiences and learn about who they are as a person and the things (anime/video games) they like and grew up with.
I figured out why I and so many others love you guys. You're the crew we wish we were hanging with in real life. Funny, motivated, down to earth and honest.
I gotta say the boom in subscribers is incredible, I’ve been here since about the 40,000 mark and you guys are my number 1 favorite to watch hands down.
I absolutely kove the level of humility and honesty your guests have. Didnt sugar coat things, didnt try and make himself a hero, just as accurate a reteoling as one can manage. The "i cant" comment came from the soul and you could see it tsking him back
This pod has become one of the few I look forward to. I love seeing y'all grow and develop the content. Happy to hear y'all adding an additional episode per month.
I love that Eli takes the time to thank the Unsub team. Not trying to keep them in the background, but push their effort and contributions to the forefront. It's awesome. Thanks to the whole team for your effort to make this entertainment for us, the fans.
I wasn't in anything as exciting as an IED, but it's taken me a decade to realize my time in the Navy left me with PTSD. My first deployment was great until we got sent to Syria, where I got to watch civilians get murdered while we were told not to do anything. I was in denial for so long about my PTSD because I've got buddies who have it, but in my fucked up brain, they *earned* it. They were ground pounders who were caught up in IEDs, saw actual combat with lead flying at them, got physically hurt, spent time in surgeries, all that happy horseshit. And thinking about my experiences, I don't get sad or break down (usually). I get fucking mad. I blame everyone above me (especially the President who sent us there just to watch war crimes and told us to sit there with our thumbs up our asses. Thanks, Obama) for holding us back, keeping us from helping those civilians, from doing FUCKING SOMETHING to help. I've always had issues with my anger, but for the past ten years my anger has been really bad. The smallest things bother the shit out of me, and usually I bury that anger, but it builds up and up and up until I blow. I've been trying to get help for it, and the VA has helped a little, but they haven't done nearly enough. I'd go see a civilian therapist, but I don't have that kind of money. Ironically, the fact that the resources that SHOULD be readily available and free to veterans is so absolutely dog shit most of the time is one of those things that really stokes my fire. Ah well, I've got another VA appointment coming up this week, and the doc really does seem to want to help. Shouldn't hold my breath, though. Experience has taught me better.
Please post the rest of the podcast. Would love to hear these funny people speak longer. Flo is so amazing and open. Wish more of your guests would speak about their personal trauma so openly as he does.
Just wanted to say how much this podcast helps some of us out. Been going through the darkest time in my life, S thoughts, going on antidepressants, etc, and you guys never fail to brighten my day. Much love from Alabama.
Having an fifth podcast every month is one of the best news I've could have heard today. This podcast keeps me going and I look forward to every episode. Thank you unsubscribe, I appreciate you all.
I know it's not Anime but I can not recommend enough the manhwa (Japan=Manga, Korea=Manhwa) called *_The Boxer._* It's very simple art but the story is INCREDIBLEY IMPACTFUL and becomes very deep and moving, especially as the main character, Yu, progresses in his boxing matches. It really flips the sort of action shonen genre on it's head where the main character, Yu, is a boxer and him and his trainer, K, work to fight various matches to 'be the best' but we see it's a horrifying metaphor about Yu getting dragged deeper and deeper into nihilism and K has been grooming him into becoming this unstoppable unfeeling monster for reasons the audience is never really aware of and Yu is just a tool and you see that very early on with how sad his life is. Each match the competitors are very unique and go through their own hardships and it's brutal but there's different throughlines about family, love, pride, legacy, faith... Stuff Yu doesn't have and is actively deprived of because K exploits those as weakness in others. I don't want to spoil the ending but there are a lot of Christian undertones and metaphors, and if you're a man of faith at all, this manhwa goes HARRRRRRD. It's my bf's favorite Manhwa of all time.
I love the one on ones Eli does at the beginnings. I listen/watch while I’m working out or working. This one on one I was going for a new PR on bench. Eli your words gave me the power to push 225 up twice. Love the content yall. Thank you
Best way to start off the weekend! Thanks for all you do Eli. Unsubscribe and BRCC have been my favorite podcasts for a while now. Extremely motivational for a single Dad with a touch of tism.
I remember the surge and so does Pepperidge farms. I'm mid-30s now but you guys unlocked memories from 20 years ago. I was on a video chat with my wife on a brick of a laptop using magic island internet on VBC and the mortars started coming in close to west liberty so I said "gotta run, love you" but I didn't know the chat would stay open on audio when you closed the lid. My wife heard danger close mortars in real time impacting and afterwards I opened my laptop and she was still online. That was pretty traumatic for her so she decided to get fucked by a ginger on his wedding day.
I truly appreciate this episode for all the inside views of the guys at the table. I had several laughs and just as many times that I felt the true sacrifices yall have put on for my safety(a paycheck or college lol). Thank every one of you for what you do no matter how you feel about it. Thank yall!
So before I get into this episode I just want to say you guys at unsubscribe have motivated me to start working more on my channel and start a podcast with some buddies so thank you guys for the motivation and good laughs
Man, it's amazing to see how different Eli looked from when I first came across his content to now. The first time I saw Eli was on a reaction video for the gameplay 6 days in Fallujah and at the time I could tell you were going through some real PTSD triggered by the game clip I learned it was because you had been there I remember posting a comment about you being back home or something similar. Seeing you now openly sharing some of the traumatic experience you went through and not being held down by the PTSD is inspiring, it gives me hope that I'll figure out a way to deal with my own PTSD (for the record I am not military) for the longest time I was surrounded by family who didn't believe in mental health I had my shrink telling me hey I'm diagnosing you with PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, and sever depression and then I had my family telling me nah, don't listen to the doctors they're just putting shit in your head to get money from you, your fine. I suppose they assumed because I wasn't crying and being overly dramatic like how they show in the movies I didnt have it but I didn't know how to explain to them I could be doing the most mundane task and I could be having random flash backs from one of the most traumatic moments of my life and while I did break down often and cried I could never do it in front of them because as much as I loved them I didn't trust them. A lot of my tauma stemmed from my own family I ended with this negative thought process of "oh, I'm never gonna get better I'm trying nothing feels like it's working I feel like I'm gonna end it by the time I hit 30 cuz I'm done, I'm exhausted I see no way out" but watching you Eli, and hearing about some of the shit you been through made me think like yeah my childhood was horrible and traumatic but I was never under a constant threat of death if this guy can pull himself together despite all he's been through why can't I? I'm not gonna lie and tell you I'm all good now theres still days where I'm still struggling, but I see the progress from then to now. I have to thank you, Eli, for being an inspiration to me. Truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Dont know if unsub would ever see... but this podcast has shaped me on how I lead and run the semi truck dealership ive been proud to be a few years in charge of. Genuinely this has helped me deal with stress and my day to day life and Ive learned to stand up and lead my guys with the same morals and standards thats needed while still laughing with the guys under me. Thank you all so much Unsub. You guys dont ever need to change
My first platoon sgt went green to gold too. He was SFC and made it to Major as well. He was the SAPPER school OIC. I just wish he didnt give in to his inner demons back in 2013.😢 Love you guys
Thank you so much for giving me an hour or two a week of being able to just relax and share some (ALOT) of laughs in my stressful week. I really appreciate what y’all do and stand for. Keep the bodies coming!! Much love y’all!!
1:10 is I lost it when Eli asked what brown he was!!! Man I love this channel!!!! Second edit, I'm Eli's age, so I remember those phone and internet trailers and the blackouts with comms all too well! My folks would freak out constantly because I finally got to call home, then the lines would get cut off because of war shit... super fun times!
"I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you. Plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes. You're all diamonds."
I lost my Fiance about 5 years ago and I am struggling with the idea of moving on without her. It really puts things in perspective getting to hear how these guys overcame their trauma. Hopefully I can find the motivation to push forward.
The military was awesome and then bad. While they were really going after my buddy and me for the jab, we watched many of guys. Kept it real, kept our heads up, even when they threatened jail. Mandatory fun day was my everyday for a while!
@unsubscribepodcast as a vet i have had better therapy sessions with just a bunch of other vets talking and joking then with an actual therapist. I love watching the podcast and look forward to it
Guys, thank you so much for the good laughs! Got in a car crash about 48 hours ago, totaled the car but I walked away okay. This is the only thing that takes my mind off of everything going on.
Gotta say, been loving the "messages from Eli" it definitely gives the show an even more personal feel and down to earth.You boys are awesome Keep the laughs and the motivation coming! Much love from Canada! Shiiiiiii!✌️🖖🤘
Hey man no matter what this show always brings light back into my soul. When I get big I promise ima say unsubscribe podcast and its hosts motivated me to get after it.
Absolutely loved being on Unsub! Look forward to seeing you guys again soon. Love ya!
Anytime brother 🫡
All I see in your name is butt

Sir you're literally talking about the ASV as I'm driving past 2 on the trailer of a semi as I'm heading home from work on i-70 LOL 26:23

Gratitude in its most sincere forms are a huge part of you, Eli. Thank _you_ too.
I absolutely kove the level of humility and honesty your guests have. Didnt sugar coat things, didnt try and make himself a hero, just as accurate a reteoling as one can manage. The "i cant" comment came from the soul and you could see it tsking him back
Little weird seeing you guys sober again😂😂
dude Eli drank so much last episode i felt drunk. let the man recover
This pod has become one of the few I look forward to. I love seeing y'all grow and develop the content. Happy to hear y'all adding an additional episode per month.
oh hell yeah. 7AM on a scorching aussie morning and we have a new episode
I love that Eli takes the time to thank the Unsub team. Not trying to keep them in the background, but push their effort and contributions to the forefront. It's awesome. Thanks to the whole team for your effort to make this entertainment for us, the fans.
Would love to see you guys go on a live tour like USO trips
👀
All of unsub both on and off camera are changing lives and giving people a reason to smile and laugh we love you guys
I wasn't in anything as exciting as an IED, but it's taken me a decade to realize my time in the Navy left me with PTSD. My first deployment was great until we got sent to Syria, where I got to watch civilians get murdered while we were told not to do anything.
I was in denial for so long about my PTSD because I've got buddies who have it, but in my fucked up brain, they *earned* it. They were ground pounders who were caught up in IEDs, saw actual combat with lead flying at them, got physically hurt, spent time in surgeries, all that happy horseshit. And thinking about my experiences, I don't get sad or break down (usually). I get fucking mad. I blame everyone above me (especially the President who sent us there just to watch war crimes and told us to sit there with our thumbs up our asses. Thanks, Obama) for holding us back, keeping us from helping those civilians, from doing FUCKING SOMETHING to help.
I've always had issues with my anger, but for the past ten years my anger has been really bad. The smallest things bother the shit out of me, and usually I bury that anger, but it builds up and up and up until I blow. I've been trying to get help for it, and the VA has helped a little, but they haven't done nearly enough. I'd go see a civilian therapist, but I don't have that kind of money. Ironically, the fact that the resources that SHOULD be readily available and free to veterans is so absolutely dog shit most of the time is one of those things that really stokes my fire.
Ah well, I've got another VA appointment coming up this week, and the doc really does seem to want to help. Shouldn't hold my breath, though. Experience has taught me better.
I like going to Art therapy at the va. It's actually very helpful better than the PTSD therapy.
CODE LYOKO WAS MY JAM. I loved that show so much.
Finally! The Butterworth episode!
Please post the rest of the podcast. Would love to hear these funny people speak longer. Flo is so amazing and open. Wish more of your guests would speak about their personal trauma so openly as he does.
Tyler Butterworth looks like a teacher at my school. Though it should be known lol.
Just wanted to say how much this podcast helps some of us out. Been going through the darkest time in my life, S thoughts, going on antidepressants, etc, and you guys never fail to brighten my day. Much love from Alabama.
I never pressure people - Eli
DemoRanch gets bribed into drinking more LMAO
Was waiting for these guys to come on figured it’d be individually, wow am I stoked
ELI STOP INTERUPTING THEN AFTER THEY SAY 1 SENTENCE LET THEN FINISH
I feel this in my soul
Relax, he knows what he's doing
Having an fifth podcast every month is one of the best news I've could have heard today. This podcast keeps me going and I look forward to every episode. Thank you unsubscribe, I appreciate you all.
Every time Eli calls someone the sweetest person he’s ever met I wonder if he knows he actually is the sweetest person ever
When Doc says "Sit the fuck down, Soldier" you do as he/she says immediately. If Doc is smiling during a shitshow, the shit has hit the fan.
You guys should get no panic button on with these guys that would be a great show.
Bro has been in for 12 years and hasn't made it past the tutorial. All jokes aside, i appreciate what you guys do
FINALLY THE LEGEND TYLER. Bro you wont believe how much ive been waiting for this since i saw him in one of your ads
This is unbelievable vato I didn't know I could respect a total stranger this much I am just happy to have found your channel
I know it's not Anime but I can not recommend enough the manhwa (Japan=Manga, Korea=Manhwa) called *_The Boxer._*
It's very simple art but the story is INCREDIBLEY IMPACTFUL and becomes very deep and moving, especially as the main character, Yu, progresses in his boxing matches. It really flips the sort of action shonen genre on it's head where the main character, Yu, is a boxer and him and his trainer, K, work to fight various matches to 'be the best' but we see it's a horrifying metaphor about Yu getting dragged deeper and deeper into nihilism and K has been grooming him into becoming this unstoppable unfeeling monster for reasons the audience is never really aware of and Yu is just a tool and you see that very early on with how sad his life is. Each match the competitors are very unique and go through their own hardships and it's brutal but there's different throughlines about family, love, pride, legacy, faith... Stuff Yu doesn't have and is actively deprived of because K exploits those as weakness in others. I don't want to spoil the ending but there are a lot of Christian undertones and metaphors, and if you're a man of faith at all, this manhwa goes HARRRRRRD. It's my bf's favorite Manhwa of all time.
I love the one on ones Eli does at the beginnings. I listen/watch while I’m working out or working. This one on one I was going for a new PR on bench. Eli your words gave me the power to push 225 up twice. Love the content yall. Thank you
Best way to start off the weekend! Thanks for all you do Eli. Unsubscribe and BRCC have been my favorite podcasts for a while now. Extremely motivational for a single Dad with a touch of tism.
This heals people who are not military too. This talk helped me.
No better way to start my Saturday than these beautiful gents getting nerdy with it. Could watch these 4 for hours on end. Much Love
I remember the surge and so does Pepperidge farms. I'm mid-30s now but you guys unlocked memories from 20 years ago. I was on a video chat with my wife on a brick of a laptop using magic island internet on VBC and the mortars started coming in close to west liberty so I said "gotta run, love you" but I didn't know the chat would stay open on audio when you closed the lid. My wife heard danger close mortars in real time impacting and afterwards I opened my laptop and she was still online. That was pretty traumatic for her so she decided to get fucked by a ginger on his wedding day.
I truly appreciate this episode for all the inside views of the guys at the table. I had several laughs and just as many times that I felt the true sacrifices yall have put on for my safety(a paycheck or college lol). Thank every one of you for what you do no matter how you feel about it. Thank yall!
So before I get into this episode I just want to say you guys at unsubscribe have motivated me to start working more on my channel and start a podcast with some buddies so thank you guys for the motivation and good laughs
Man, it's amazing to see how different Eli looked from when I first came across his content to now. The first time I saw Eli was on a reaction video for the gameplay 6 days in Fallujah and at the time I could tell you were going through some real PTSD triggered by the game clip I learned it was because you had been there I remember posting a comment about you being back home or something similar. Seeing you now openly sharing some of the traumatic experience you went through and not being held down by the PTSD is inspiring, it gives me hope that I'll figure out a way to deal with my own PTSD (for the record I am not military) for the longest time I was surrounded by family who didn't believe in mental health I had my shrink telling me hey I'm diagnosing you with PTSD, Generalized Anxiety, and sever depression and then I had my family telling me nah, don't listen to the doctors they're just putting shit in your head to get money from you, your fine. I suppose they assumed because I wasn't crying and being overly dramatic like how they show in the movies I didnt have it but I didn't know how to explain to them I could be doing the most mundane task and I could be having random flash backs from one of the most traumatic moments of my life and while I did break down often and cried I could never do it in front of them because as much as I loved them I didn't trust them. A lot of my tauma stemmed from my own family I ended with this negative thought process of "oh, I'm never gonna get better I'm trying nothing feels like it's working I feel like I'm gonna end it by the time I hit 30 cuz I'm done, I'm exhausted I see no way out" but watching you Eli, and hearing about some of the shit you been through made me think like yeah my childhood was horrible and traumatic but I was never under a constant threat of death if this guy can pull himself together despite all he's been through why can't I? I'm not gonna lie and tell you I'm all good now theres still days where I'm still struggling, but I see the progress from then to now. I have to thank you, Eli, for being an inspiration to me. Truly from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Dont know if unsub would ever see... but this podcast has shaped me on how I lead and run the semi truck dealership ive been proud to be a few years in charge of. Genuinely this has helped me deal with stress and my day to day life and Ive learned to stand up and lead my guys with the same morals and standards thats needed while still laughing with the guys under me. Thank you all so much Unsub. You guys dont ever need to change
My first platoon sgt went green to gold too. He was SFC and made it to Major as well. He was the SAPPER school OIC. I just wish he didnt give in to his inner demons back in 2013.😢
Love you guys
Thank you so much for giving me an hour or two a week of being able to just relax and share some (ALOT) of laughs in my stressful week. I really appreciate what y’all do and stand for. Keep the bodies coming!! Much love y’all!!
1:10 is I lost it when Eli asked what brown he was!!! Man I love this channel!!!! Second edit, I'm Eli's age, so I remember those phone and internet trailers and the blackouts with comms all too well! My folks would freak out constantly because I finally got to call home, then the lines would get cut off because of war shit... super fun times!
"I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea. I will always be with you. Plant your roots in me. I won't see you end as ashes. You're all diamonds."
Eli, you're the best! Your heart is so incredible! Thank you for letting your heart show through this podcast!
I lost my Fiance about 5 years ago and I am struggling with the idea of moving on without her. It really puts things in perspective getting to hear how these guys overcame their trauma.
Hopefully I can find the motivation to push forward.
By far the best podcast. 143 episodes and everyone was a hit. The absolute highlight of my week. It feels like home ❤
The military was awesome and then bad. While they were really going after my buddy and me for the jab, we watched many of guys. Kept it real, kept our heads up, even when they threatened jail. Mandatory fun day was my everyday for a while!
@unsubscribepodcast as a vet i have had better therapy sessions with just a bunch of other vets talking and joking then with an actual therapist. I love watching the podcast and look forward to it
The pizza story reminds me when my senior class got pizza delivered to our class, we all pitched in and it was successful
_43:55__ Someone made an Edit of Ganon Samba Dancing in Tears of The Kingdom, and I was absolutely intimidated._
You're doing good work and helping out vets. This show is a platform for vet dilemmas and war stories, most sad others hilarious.
Thank you all for your service guys!
Thank you to the whole Unsub team. I love this podcast and how it has grown. You guys are amazing, keep up the hard work!
Guys, thank you so much for the good laughs! Got in a car crash about 48 hours ago, totaled the car but I walked away okay. This is the only thing that takes my mind off of everything going on.
Been DYING to see Tyler Butterworth on here since I saw the first ad
