Chris Ryan at his peak was probably the most competent soldier in the world. An absolute machine. I have seen him participating in the toughest training regimes among elite Special Forces units around the world and he usually came top of the class for any exercise: local commanders were astonished that this foreigner could just turn up and out-compete their own soldiers. A legend. Attributed to George Orwell: "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.". Thankyou Chris Ryan
There's a couple of new seasons with a new cast but I've been avoiding giving them a chance. If it's gone woke, it would just break my heart. In rewatching the Scott & Stonebridge seasons, I kept seeing stuff that you couldn't get away with today. That's how I like it.
@@MakerInMotion You're not wrong, I tried, it sucks. It's gotten very woke with the female characters and the brother/buddy dynamic is very weakly done. Nothing like Scott and Stonebridge
@@apexhunter109 the only good thing about the new seasons is when Scott and Stonebridge returned for the final few seconds of the second to last episode and the last episode of the first new season
@@robertjohnson9756 I just found that clip so no need to watch the season. The girl with the feminist haircut snapping at Scott after he just saved her life told me all I need to know. In the old seasons he would have been properly rewarded with some boning.
I never learnt how to read growing up and it wasn’t until I found myself in prison in a desperate state of mind I learnt how to read. The One That Got Away was the book that helped me the most with my reading and state of mind. Respect ✊
Well done TCA. My experience with prison is those who are illiterate tend to do nothing about it. Reading is one of the pure joys in life, painting the scene in your mind, laughing out loud on the bus, being upset when a great character suffers. The English language has a word to describe everything, often more than one. You might like an author called John Sandford. He has a character called Lucas Davenport who features in over twenty novels. Excellent author, strong characters and great action.
What a pleasure to hear two intelligent ex-soldiers conversing. There have been a few times when I have been struggling on an endurance event or long bike ride when I have recalled Chris`s long march and have dug deeper. An inspirational guy.
As a retired British Infantry soldier deployed (Gulf war 1, Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Falklands) been long retired 30 years now. I work over seas all over the world in Petro chemical start ups. I still pack my gear with military precision just like we were trained in basic. Nice part now is I travel in business class 😂😂 no more travelling in a chinook or FV432 or Warrior APC.
Spent a month in Baghdad during December. It was freezing, rains, damp, relentless winds with sand in literally everything, and I thought I had it miserable, lol. Chris is an absolute hero, as were the rest of his brave team. Thank you for your service, Sir.✨️🙏✨️
Best podcast I've seen in some time. Absolute balls of British steel. Thanks to Mr. Ryan for sharing his story, and thanks to Mr. Carr for giving him the platform and letting him paint the word-pictures of his ordeal without unnecessary interruptions and questions. Huge thanks to both of you warrior poets for your service to the rest of us both on and off the battlefield.
Did you ever look up what his SAS colleagues say about his book and this particular mission Bravo 2 Zero. Same as his colleague Andy McNab. Both are extremely lucky that the SAS does NOT comment of any of their missions, but to know what his mates think of him is very humbling. Basically they think that as far as his books on the missions he did while the SAS are full of BS. But good on him; he's sold millions of his books to gullible people.
@@Team33Team33So what are your achievements in life. Are people still living because of your bravery. Have you ever put yourself in harm's way. Have you ever tested yourself, beyond what is physical possible. If not,shut the .... Up. I have,so don't question me either.
Jack it is so awesome how you interview these living legends. Young men really need to hear from these men and learn how these men came to the understanding the world and the values they have developed in through their experiences. Men learn to be great men by learning how great men understand and operate in the real world. Thank you for this podcast.
My dad bought Andy’s and Chris’s books, I read them both a few times over, my dad died in 1995 and reading those books brought him back, hanging on every page late into the night. Thanks for this interview Dad would have watched your channel. I subbed, stay free, we are counting on you and people like you to save us right now.
Had the pleasure of meeting Chris at RAF Hereford in ‘96, I was there playing enemy for SAS training for a couple of days, although he had left the Regiment by that point he was there as training staff. Being so close to the gulf war we were a little star struck, I’d only been in the army 3 or 4 months and there I was working with Legends.
So irritating when the interviewer would interrupt Chris Ryan with irrelevant questions. I just wanted to hear Chris Ryan talking about his escape but the interviewer kept interrupting and talking over Chris. If only he would just shut up and let Chris speak without interrupting!
This is the third time i have watched this in over two years,even had flashbacks to my youth and have gone and bought comic books I used to by at the local newsagents COMMANDO,thanks to Chris to remind me of my youth.
That was the first live action scowl I've ever seen on Jack. 1:08:30 When Ryan talked about the Syrians playing a joke. That look was a glimpse of that caged monster. Every other moment he has a smile on his face. With regard to Mr. Ryan ... what a story. Thank you again Jack for bringing great stories to the world.
Jack what a podcast. As a young bloke I read both Andy McNabb and Chris Ryan's book . It was great to here Chris tell the story raw and unedited in person. Great work.
I too read both bravo two zero and the one that got away. If I’m not mistaken, didn’t Andy McNab criticize Chris’s book as being “ a load of bollocks?” I personally read it at face value and enjoyed it.
@@tonybussey8763 Glad u asked that question( And I haven't got around to reading either book)But I'm sure I read there was a difference of opinion of what went down& I think he fell out with the Hereford Org?.But correct me if I've got it all F##ked up backwards!
@tonybussey8763 No, not Andy it was a bitter sergeant major who was despised by most sas soldiers ,and criticised both books but I can't remember his name he wrote a book that rubbished them.
My Dad was in the SAS.. Guess what? He didint speak about anything he did to his death bed.. Feel so sorry for their underlying issues that werent even diagnosed at that time..
Wow I’ve talked to many of my veteran brothers and watched many podcasts and this might be the craziest most badass story I’ve ever heard!! Wow I was just in awe listening to his story!! Amazing and never quit!
Was on the edge of my office chair and getting little work done listening to his escape and evasion! What a story and so well delivered to us the viewers!
Had someone written such a story as fiction it would be hard to suspend disbelief. Real life more amazing than fiction, this man’s will power is off the charts.
One of the most motivating book I've ever read, The One That Got Away. And Mr. Ryan is one of the most motivating men I've ever heard of. I read a lot of his books. Best of British.
I've watched quite a few interviews with Chris and this is probably the best one to date. You know when to be quiet and listen and when to push for more info. Great interview technique.
Met Mr Ryan in 99, at one of those book talks, makes me smile to see how well he's done in life :) a gentlemen for staying on so long , Thank you for the interview.
Awesome guy very honest seems approachable.I’ve enjoyed all his work loved worlds elite police.No doubt Chris is a seasoned soldier has earned his success and then some.Seems a number of guys who became successful SAS soldiers came from humble beginnings and the army became their all.I’m sure anyone who passes selection for the SAS gives it absolutely everything.Best wishes to Chris I hope he continues to enjoy his life keeps us entertained with any future projects.
Great watch and an incredible feat. I'm a British Gulf War vet and the skin issues Chris describes is common place among vets, myself included and as he says, definitely gets worse with stress.
What a pleasure to hear / watch this legend and another who is giving him plenty of room instead of interrupting as is often the case... kudos on a great interview Jack!
This is great, I read The One That Got Away, eye opening to the stuff that was going on over there, and I watched his short series "Catching Chris Ryan" where he showed what a single special forces soldier insertion could be capable of doing and then attempt to evade and extract in several different environments.
The Kardashians, kneeling sports zeroes, as well as those praised for bravery for changing genders gets media coverage and worshipped by the masses when real heroes like Chris Ryan walk the earth? This guy should never have to buy a steak or a beer in his life. This was absolutely great and humbling.
Yes it's pathetic. Gen Z whine about everything, want free stuff, are gutless victims ... Kids their ages and younger died in trench warfare so they can complain. Screw them and the WOKE bullshit brigade.
never have i been so glued to the words of a man i don't know thankyou for your service to our great nation in keeping our country safe we are forever indebted to all of our soldiers god rest those who paid the ultimate price so we can enjoy freedom
Chris Ryan - true Brit military role model. Humble too. Jack Carr; unbelievable role model - warrior. Even tho I’m a Brit I am a fan of your books. And again, a truly humble man i can see. I’m ex uk mil and have the utmost respect to you both.
@@charliebacca8170 ohh yes, I am, it is incredible! and, on top of that, I have chosen Texas.. which is a world apart even from many other place in the US.. really happy and enjoying it! sure, at first culture shock was something to take care of.. but I adapt fast
Great approach to your interviews. You've got a great way with your guests. Your personality fits really well with the English SF guys. I guess no matter UK or US, you all have similar traits. Humble but confident
What an awesome awesome man a fantastic human being brave courageous, it just makes me so proud to be british much respect for the SAS and our American cousins the seals&delta.🇬🇧🇺🇸👍👏👏👏👏👏👏
Really enjoyed this an amazing story and a good interviewer drawing out the story. Two amazing guys with a lot of hard earned experience and very little conceit. In these strange and unpredictable times it's good to know we have people like these two watching our backs. As I am also from the North East of England good to hear that Geordie humour and warmth respect to both you guys, the special relationship in a nutshell 🇬🇧🇺🇸.
Absolutely first rate interviewing! Listening is just as important as asking questions. There are few interviewers that can manage not asking unnecessary questions every few minutes. Well done to you Sir.Great show,thanks.👍👍
Fascinating interview, superb to hear you both. The discussions on survival were really interesting. The thing that always puzzled me was the accounts of survival in concentration camps. The general consensus was that the thin wiry guy would survive and the big, muscular guy would turn his face to the wall and not survive the first night. These of course were terrified civilians.
I’m an ex coal miner and I wrote a series of comedies (mostly for my own satisfaction). It is amazing to break away from what was your ‘norm’ and achieve something different.
Brit here, I honestly think delta are smashing it today but I always feel SAS pave the way for operations. From failures to success if these missions hasn’t gone wrong and Chris not experienced the elements of Iraq at that time other forces wouldn’t of known what to expect so that’s why I place SAS above everyone else but don’t get twisted delta are also the best glad we all work together
This man is amazing! I love listening to past military member's stories! You learn sooooo much and hopefully are able to apply to current jobs. It never ceases to amaze how many "superiors" don't want to help out those on the ground!!! Keep up the great work!
Excellent interview. I've read a few of Chris Ryan's novels, and watched the Strikeback series. Will need to buy more of his and your books, so thankyou for getting him on your podcast. Two of my favorite hard cover books I read as a young teenager, was the Combat / Survival books by Len Cacutt (editor), which I assume is the accumulation of information from the Combat and Survival magazines, but split into 2 separate books. Learnt some great stuff on bushcraft survival that I still use to this day.
Chris Ryan is amazing. The One That Got Away is great. Are you going to get Steven Mitchell (Andy McNabb) on about Bravo Two Zero? I'd definitely be interested in seeing a podcast with Mitchell
Absolutely fantastic couldn’t stop watching till the end , I read Bravo 2 0 and the one that got away many years ago so was glued to this video , thanks 🤩 fabulous
I was 14 when i first read The one that got away and that was the start of following Chris's career in books, some fantastic reads and great series. Now Jack Carr is doing a similar thing and as great a story teller.
We should all be extremely grateful for UK and US special forces. Heroes to a man. Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.
This MAN is a TRUE British HERO..... Thank you for your service.....

I was 14 when i first read The one that got away and that was the start of following Chris's career in books, some fantastic reads and great series.
Now Jack Carr is doing a similar thing and as great a story teller.
Outstanding!!! Good work guys. Keep the writing rolling.
Love these interviews, keep em coming man! 🤘
