When Nicholas said the guys I’m fighting for are taking my house and my car that hit me so hard. Also when he said he left and came back no one cared and time went on. Thank you soldiers reading this for your sacrifices.
Taylor,
I’ve never served the military. However, my cousin told me the same thing when he lost his house, boats jet skis, ex wife of whom cheated on him that he met in the military. I had to prevent him from jumping off a 5-6 story balcony at a lake house for my cousins bachelor party. He was an marine veteran who had deployed to Afghanistan. That was my realization how much we need to support our vets. All the best
jacques dy sorry to hear that about your cousin. We really need to support our vets more financially, psychologically, whom risk it all for us.
Frfr thank you it's hard to loose everything while you adapt to a world that doesn't care you almost died so they didn't have to
More ppl need to watch this episode.
You have to have this guy back on!
Giving a color blind man a rubics cube lmaooo
nick, i am familiar with you through demolition ranch. i think you are awesome! you and matt are so much fun to watch and i love vets, military or animal. love you man!
Darlene Alley heard of him from demolition ranch
mike ritland interview with nick is great
Me Too!!! Demo Ranch!!!
Arian, you should try to get David Goggins on. You'd be amazed at his story.
Bro you dead ass answered all my questions I would ask Nicholas if I met him. Great Interview 👏🏾
“Cars repoed, house is being foreclosed on. Everyone I essentially went to go fight for, is taking everything away from me.” That’s deep. Thank you Nicholas Irving for your service. You’re a fuckin G
This is kid cudi’s badass cousin

Day N nite 75th Ranger
First off great interview. It great to see that Nick came to terms with his personal struggles and was able to overcome them and turn his life around. Great motivation for others, myself included to look at yourself in the mirror and take charge of your life course. Wish you the best nick, keep climbing.
56:07 When your talking about seeing yourself in the mirror but never talking to that guy. You see him but never contront him, thats your soul watching your body/mind and when you DO sit down with that guy your putting mind with spirit. Thats my thoughts. So deep and well thought out Nick.
Great start to the day! The reaper
Man this podcast is so therapeutic
This was an amazing episode. What's crazy is that I was slated to go down the same path when I joined the Army. I was in impeccable shape and I was a marksman, but what kept me from doing it was that you don't get paid shit to do these extra things. It's all about bragging rights and ego, or if you are just someone who is gung-ho and want to be that way. But if you look at it like a job, it's a shitty job for shitty pay, and we make it look so glorious in movies and this conversation is the dose of truth many people need to hear...
@Coke Dogg I thinking the same about you bro
I’m 4 years late and I still don’t believe you. I believe that you didn’t get selected but I don’t believe you were “on the same path”
Going into the army in 3 weeks . Going for 11b . This guy definitely on of the most inspiring people to me . More spec ops guys should put their stories out there . People need to understand their sacrifices and their struggles more to be able to help combat veterans suffering. Thank you Nicholas Irving for what you have done and for what you are doing to help others you are a true hero man
How'd it go? I'm going to basic for infantry as well in July
Jonanthan how you holding up now?
Man time has flown , I’m finishing my first contract in 5 months. Moving on to the national gaurd next .
@@jonanthanenriquez8488 how is everyone now man?
It’s crazy it’s been almost four years since I posted the original comment . This brings up memories of when I started my journey joining the army and arriving to Benning for the first time. Now I’m just a good ole civilian working a normal job using all the good things I learned in the Army to be a better man husband and father. God loves the Infantry hooah!
So much respect for this guy. Shoutout demo ranch!!
This is probably one of the best podcast i have ever seen. Probably going to watch this again! It's just great to see how one can turn their life around overcome certain huddles in life not necessary from a militant perspective, i guess thats the takeway we can borrow and somewhat relate to his stories. Will definately follow up with his audio book. Thank you so much for the content.
Thanks for your service brother from another vet.
You get better every episode man! Salute
Man I just stumbled upon this. This is great! I am subscribing.

Irving N Da Cut Issa Scary Sight 🔱
Fantastic interview Arian one of the best yet!!!
This is honestly one of the most profound irv interview that ive ever watched. Arians hardcore civilian perspektiv allows for such deep reflection on irvs part. Good job guys.
Love your show bro been watching all the shows in the past couple of days thank you
I started at the Joe Budden episode, heard most of them back tracking. came all the way back. I gotta say man this is by far my favorite one hands down. Slowly becoming my favorite podcast. Thank you Arian , keep it up!!!
Great conversation, eye opening stuff!
This talk should easily have 1mil views, it was great from beginning to end.
A navy seal who has to disarm a bomb and his like "which one is red?". Lol
A Navy Seal wouldn't be disarming anything.
@@micah9676 I think the EOD(Explosive Ordinance Disposal) guys would be the ones doing that.
You train to do everything.
This probably the most informative intense interviews I ever heard
Wow, this is powerful stuff. Thanks for your service Nicholas and also for opening up about your experiences. I read "The Reaper" and thought it was great, but this gives a whole new layer to it. Arian, the show is excellent, I am subscribing for sure.
Dnt thank this brainwashed robot for his service smh reason this world is trash
@@quaquq96 you aren't half the man this guy is. Idiot.
@@quaquq96 you are legit nothing but a little pussy sitting behind a screen. Tell that to this man's face and you would be shut down instantly.
@@quaquq96 were you dropped as a child?
This interview was amazing for multiple reasons. Thanks!
Hey man love your podcasts , I’m Irish so I wasn’t aware of you before joe rogans podcast (you should try bring him on yours!) , I’m a huge fan of what I’ve seen and learned of you since . Super refreshing to see someone from the sports world being able and willing to have intelligent and interesting conversations on such a huge array of subjects , so big respect and keep it up man . Go raibh mile maith agat

Having looked through the glass and sent rounds down range I understand fully what Nick is trying to convey in this conversation. I learned at an early age to compartmentalize almost everything that I experienced. I’m now in my late 50’s and have had many years to take each and every situation out and analyze it. I’m a father and grandfather and have lived a fairly peaceful life overall post Military but I’ve never regretted a single shot I sent downrange. In my view each and everyone had done or was attempting to do bad things to my Brothers and I was gonna do everything in my power to stop him/them. Almost all of my service was pre 9/11 so I served in a different world than today’s WarFighter however the dynamics never change. Drive On Nick.
Great interview.. I never thought abt the life of a sniper and I'm impressed every interview. THANKS FEENO and Nick man. Cant wait to see the next 1
i really enjoyed this conversation....
Great show! Great subjects in conversation.
I just found this podcast after hearing and seeing Nick on another channel. Absolutely great podcast is the least that I can say.
I dont know how I'm just finding this, but I'm really glad I did.
One of the greatest interviews I had ever heard in my life. This guy story is very interesting!!
The story at 42:00 where he liquifies the guy with a 7-round .50 anti-tank burst is one of the craziest war stories I've ever heard.
Sounds like you got your rocks off to it
This was a great interview
This was amazing
This is a deep interview! Loved every second! So glad I got word of Nicholas today via NAAGA's promotion of his training facility and book. Great job Arian Foster...couldn't connect why your name was familiar until you discussed Colin Kaepernick.

Ima huge fan of this podcast. This is my favorite one.

Impressive Man ..... Thank you for your sacrifice and the example you have become as a man and father ......God Bless ...

Great interview with Nick. I just realized this is Arian Foster I thought he looked familiar! 😂 This was great!!
Great interview.
RLTW!
You can stay awake for 264 hrs before you actually die. That's why most SF courses do a limit of 120 hrs with 2 - 4 hours of sleep during that period.
This is Great I was a medic at ranger camp back in the day out of Fort Benning for the Ranger School they went through hell
This is phenomenal
Awesome educational Video from a Veteran Life.
Him talking bout basic training n airborne school brings back so many memories…HOOAH
Hell yeah, got me through some of the work day earlier
Came here from Demolition Ranch!
Just watching this but wow hell of a podcast
Hahahaha dude said he wanted to end ppl that cut him in traffic 😂
I honestly just luv this video
My brother was part of a Ranger Bat. I wanted to be like him so bad. But, he always said go Air Force, so I did. His basic training stories are real. Even in the Air Force people struggled. I went through in 04" I remember having to stop a trainee from committing suicide. I didn't understand because Basic was so easy. Great podcast.
Nick your such an amazing guy. Ive read books an seen videos you have done. Please keep your head up. This world needs men like you. My kids do as well your a real hero screw spiderman!
You really need to have him on the podcast again

Arian Foster is a legit interviewer.
Amazing talk. Both of you guys are inspirational.
I was a fan before but after hearing this I'm even more of a fan you need to get more exposure.
the way he described the first time killing another human is super intense. especially if your clapped like i am rn.
I inherited my business from my dad and he was color blind. That was my first introduction into working things out in life. He couldn’t see the difference between greens and browns
Powerful
Anybody can be what they want to be...Love for nick
Brian's Song (1971) best Football movie...and it's a true story.

Television 📺 programing. Programing your mind by telling their vision. #DEEP
Best pod cast I've ever seen I watched the whole thing. Jut learned so much cause I'm actually going into Army rangers and going to try out for sniper school.
You have an option 40 contract then.. but you don't "try out" for sniper school, you volunteer once you are in the 75th.
maximillan gardner-guillermo you actually don’t volunteer. Sniper section in the 75th is very competitive. You are selected to try out from your platoon if you’re squared away. You usually have to know someone already in Sniper Section that thinks you’re good enough to even get a shot at Selection
Tre.. thanks for trying, but wrong in certain aspects.
Good luck on going into the Army and wanting to be a ranger!
I agree with you, this was an awesome podcast episode and I loved it. I like Nic Irving. he seems like a good, mature and well-informed guy(and he's obviously a smart guy-because those are the kinds of people you want pulling the triggers-a thinking person) and I wish him all the success in life. Arian Foster is right, more kids in the black community need to see that there are more opportunities and options for them out there other than being entertainers or athletes-and the black and latino kids who end up going down the wrong paths in life-who end up in gangs or selling dope, etc, they need to know that there are other options out there for them, too(I have said before that I think that the military is a viable option for at-risk kids and young people going down the wrong path in life-and not just black and latino kids but kids of any race and background who are going down the wrong path in life and who lack direction).
Nic Irving should be a guest on Joe Rogan's podcast as well as the podcast for Jocko Willink(a retired U.S. Navy SEAL and war veteran like Irving)
dope video
Every politician should listen to this podcast .
1.7 Jesus. Looking up to this dude right now
My God I never heard of those who fought in WWII wanting to take their own lives in my family. But they we also never asked to talk about unless they brought it up themselves. One of these members was the only one to survive in his company while fighting in Germany. I do know he had nightmares but was still able to go on in life and still enjoyed hunting as most of also did growing up.
Dopest Interview Nick’s Done !
Seems Y’all Connected On a new level.
Nick fuckin rocks! Listening to his book "The Reaper" on Audible right now.
