In May of 2011, Rob O’Neill and a group of America’s most experienced Navy SEALS embarked on Operation Neptune Spear. After giving the go ahead from Obama and the U.S. Military, the team flew to Pakistan where Bin Laden was hiding out in a highly secured compound. What happened next would change history forever and etch O’Neill into the history books as the man who put Bin Laden six feet under.
Watch as O’Neill sits down with Joe to discuss his incredible life story where he went from an unassuming kid from Montana to becoming one of the government’s most skilled assassins. Rob shares his experiences training as a SEAL, how it impacted his family life, the phenomenal missions he completed, and the psychological toll it took on him. Rob gives us full vulnerability as he shares his story of life, loss, and unrelenting drive to push past fear and towards victory.
This is the first installment of Humans, a new talk series where Joe interviews some of the most unique people in the world to shed light on their one in a million experiences. This is a big step away from the music industry and away from Joe Budden’s typical demographic. Humans aims to show viewers people with unbelievable stories that only they could live through.

Good ol boy from Montana and a brother from Jersey sitting down and having a conversation the country needs more of this it’s crazy how much we have in common
Dead ass bro!
The country needs more of what? Fabricated lies? Bin landen wasn’t no terrorist he was best friends with the Bushes and spent time in the White House a lot.
All you need is some beer n chips and we are good to go
@@Kingkongbigdog of you getting tf outta here
And weed 💨
This guy is 100 percent one of the most bad ass humans to ever take a breath. Respect this man to no end. Hero is a understatement
He didn’t
@@Cryptum404 stop with the lies and misinformation. This man did do it .
Fighting the poor defenseless People of 3rd World Countries, with the most modern Military Weapons. Coward is more appropriate. You must be smoking mara-dew-wana!
@@dinonazamodeen5694 you must be a terrorist
@@smokebreakmma6524I am 81
This is without a doubt one of the best interviews Joe has ever done. Shout out to Joe and huge shout out to Rob O'Neill. This was amazing
Joe sounds like a member of gen Z asking those questions 😂 I respect him tho
lies
He was literally throwing bits of shade with his questions and I didn’t like it!
@@PerformanceMatrix it was not shade, bruv joe was genuinely fucking amazed by the shit he is saying lol it was a shock to him to see how different somebody’s life can be compared to his. Not everything is shade
@@PerformanceMatrix Exactly what i was thinking!!! he clearly wanted another narrative and was mad that Rob was just such a pleasant guest...
Joe trying to talk to a trained killer about feelings and emotions is the funniest shit ever 😂
I was going to comment the exact same things. But It also make for a good interview, two different worlds.
I was noticing the same thing. I love how the Montana man says guns don't kill its the person using it who kills. Joe was pretty quiet right after that comment. Lol
He was 💯 mind boggled multiple times but came back from it great solid dude
@@cjwalthall11😂 yeah cause he knows that some right wing bs line.
I'm sorry for you not knowing the difference between a Fucking mindless killer from the man who have the job done. Most likely saved your ass
As a veteran who served in Afghanistan, this interview gave me chills! Thanks, Joe, for interviewing Mr. Rob O’Neil. Rob is one hell of a storyteller; it felt like I was there with him. 😮
If you like listening to sit downs w operators listen to some of Shawn Ryan’s episodes. Man oh man. The Rob O’Neil episode was good but there’s others that are unreal
Long live the Afghanistan resistance to your occupation. They had 0 equipment compared to you and they still beat you. How do you feel seeing Taliban running Kabul now lol? Like Rob said in the interview they were much tougher and braver than you lol.. No disrespect but you caught a fat L in Afghanistan, facts.
@@nadjiguemarful 😂 go ahead to someone else buddy. You want get any further engagement from me.
@@DamiDoRight I don't care I don't respect nothing about you you lost everywhere you went but God bless
Yes very engaging story teller gives you chills. @DamiDoRight
The dialogue between these two people from vastly different walks of life and views have is incredible. Two humans having a human conversation. One of the best podcasts I've had the pleasure of listening to in awhile.
so much he talked about was so familiar about going into the miLitary and how things work out especially the first few days as you get your BEARINGS AND MEET PEOPLE THAT YOU HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF MEETING COMING FROM A SMALL TOWN AS HE DID AND MYSELF. One of my buddies went on to become seal team 6 leader . he was incredible athlete when we served together and has gone on to great things. a guy you would enjoy being around.
They are both American.
Joe I am a new suscriber, my first listen and you have the best interview method that I believe brings out the best in your subject and helps to keep the subject talking and me listening. I agree with all the positive comments of others and want to just point out my belief. The Hero is one who steps up to the challenge and doesn't hide from the possible threats afterwards. He uses his experience to help motivate and bring out the best in others. Thanks Rob Thanks Joe.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard or seen an interview, where the person being interviewed carried the entire interview himself from start to finish. Wow, just wow. This was an absolutely amazing story to hear & experience.
This guy has probably told this story a million times...I could listen 1 million times more.He praises everyone involved and is an engaging speaker...ive never heard of the interviewer, first video of his ive watched.seems a little weird he hasn't been on Rogan .....like as the "guy" that killed Bin Laden just happens to be a great spokesman not a robot I imagined Seals to be.
That's bc he has done 100 interviews and he is constant and says the exact same thing in every interview.
@@strongnew3744 I’m sure he will be eventually. He quoted Rogan but didn’t give him a mention. He also quoted Jordan Peterson.
@@teledoink Rogan is hard to pigeonhole...his guests are ...whatever tickles his fancy at that moment..aliens,mushrooms,pyramids..
Kill a giant elk ..maybe
Kill BinLaden...I dont know
His Jocko interview was interesting..no mention of actual kills tho? But focused towards leadership, tactics ,values
I appreciate Joe for sitting and letting O'Neill cook. Most interviewers feel the need to interject and have to control the interview. Kuddos for this.
went to school with this dude from 5th grade thru high school. what u see here is the real dude. he's a good guy from a great family. (and a better 3pt shooter than he lets on :) )
Bless him, and bless his parents for raising such a wonderful man. He is an American hero!
That’s cool! Thanks for sharing 🔥
He really does seem like a great guy 👍
he seems like an amazing person, low key jealous of you lol
@@JordanWilliams-ix2td what would i have to be jealous of. its ok to be proud of someone u grew up with.
This was the best interview Joe has ever done. Joe allowed the man to talk without speaking over him.
He always allows his guests to speak freely. That's one of the qualities that makes him exceptional.
Would you cut off the man that killed Osma Bin Laden ? …. 😂
I wouldnt talk over the man who killed the worlds most wanted terrorist
@@kaywess1738 correct , on the pod he's in character more time ....Joe's a genius
@@kaywess1738 right and he doesn’t just move on. He wants to expound on the subject as well
I DID NOT want this conversation to end....PURE GOLD!
You should check out Rob O'neals book
@@Satan598 This cracked me up...Satan is giving Munroe reading suggestions.
@@scottsherman5262 this person a big reader or is it just odd because of my name? It is a good book. Granted I only read non fiction nowadays. Real life means more to me than bullshit. Either way, always happy to give a laugh, even if Im not trying to lol
@@Satan598 I imagine her being a pretty big reader, but yes, it's the pseudonym Satan...I don't see Satan being much of a reader, although he is big into those contracts for souls, so perhaps he does knock the books out.
@@scottsherman5262 yeah, Im not a believer in god or the devil. I think its all manmade to control the masses. I get a lot of death threats from christians over my beliefs. I guess you could argue that Im a bit petty with my screen name choice. But I'll gladly fight to the death to support your right to choose what you wish to believe and its my goal that one day, believers will respect atheists even a little bit. I respect individual believers but despise organized religion.
"If your worry can't help it, why waste your energy. "
It's hard in the moment to accept, but truly this is one of those truths of life.
Much like how, holding a grudge only burdens the person holding it.
Once you can apply these to your life, it does become more calm.
Well said
Damn straight!
I keep reading your comment over and over.
Man. I did 5 years in the USMC infantry, 2009-2014 (2 deployments). And I really need to tip my hat to these frogmen. They’re a different breed. The amount of training required to be elite is unimaginable by most.
thank you for your service sir
With ya that! Semper Fi!
The baddest alive.
Thanks for your service
This dude was full of wisdom. Thank you for giving him the space to talk freely
Best interview I’ve ever seen, literally didn’t want it to end.
Shawn Ryan show he was on recently and was awesome 🇺🇸
haha was just about to comment that. watch the shawn ryan one. you'll hear a lot of the same things that you hear in this interview but there's a lot more story telling in the other one. i'm convinced rob could be sat down for 12 hours and do nothing but story tell the entire time and there wouldn't be a single boring 5 minute period.
@@bearglove1189 I agree but I recommend ones like this and nelk one he did to my short attention buddies lol
So it ended 😪
I hope this is the start of something new. There's a bunch of us from the hood who are interested in interesting people from different walks of life! Please do another one. This convo was dope AF! 💯💯
No cap 💯💯
Never expected to see a comment like that here. Appreciated.
@@mikeekim2459 😂😂😂😂😂that was funny🤷🏽♂️💯
Facts!!
The world is not ready for that yet theres too much hate !!!
Ive watched countless interviews with Robert O’Neill, and this is easily one of the best I’ve seen
The duality
Look up vigilance elite rob oneill
Agreed. That’s because the interviewer knew when to ask and when to stop talking. That was always my biggest beef with Oprah. She constantly interrupted the people she was interviewing.
interview pat tillman next
@@Coffeeisnecessarynowpepper in poor taste AND not funny. Lame
Robs ability to recognise his past mind sets and corrects himself on that way of thinking now hes older is admirable . Brilliant interview
This where joe excels at. Being a true professional and delivering a good interview. Love and hip hop even rap music was easy to him. We never know where we will end up or what we'll be excellent at.
Facts just like this dude. Wanted to play basketball, ended up a bad ass
Historically Joe has been known for being the opposite, unprofessional.
I wouldn’t say he “excelled” in this interview, all things considered. He def needs to study the greats and really be informed on who he is interviewing. He seemed hesitant of when to interject himself and when to add color. Akward at times. Still a good interview due to the subject and this amazing retelling of this historical story. Keep improving Joe!
@@champvanderford great honest comment,I'm going to assume you are well versed in journalism.
“I didn’t wanna be the only guy in the room with a kill.”
What an absolute legend.
My first time actually listening to a 2hr + podcast ever in my LIFE! What a great man and a awesome interview! Just WOW!! It’s 2:30 am and I have work in a couple of hours! I was too glued to pause this episode! Just wow!!
Thumbs up. Other great interviews... Joe Rogan with Andy Stumpf (SEAL) or Marcus Luttrell (SEAL) or David Goggins (SEAL), Andy Stumpf interviewing Jessica Lynch (POW) or Evy Poumpouras (CIA... the towers fell on her on 9/11), lots of great podcasts... Joe Budden, Joe Rogan, Shawn Ryan, Andy Stumpf, Jocko Willink, Lex Fridman, etc.
The fact that Joe let his guest talk is a skill that other hosts need to learn. Joe excellent work. This is what a hero looks like. Volunteering to go on a mission that you are expecting to die, is a trait that not many people have. Thank you Seal team 6 and thank you to every branch and service member of the United States military. We are living in strange times now, but this is the greatest country in the world. God bless America ❤
please go back to the Rory & Mal era and review your post because this is propaganda. Joe Budden switch stance more than a professional skateboarder... NOW its cool to interview conservatives? why, Ukraine war?
you must be new here Joe let's no one talk
@@themichaelangelou9785 You said “Now it’s cool to interview conservatives “ like it’s a bad thing. Joe might be maturing, and is clearly trying to become a real messenger for the people. To do that you must get to know both sides of the spectrum and in between. Since when did being a soldier automatically make you a conservative anyway?? Kind of a blanket statement no?? I don’t think the Ukrainian and Russian situation has anything to do with this interview, but maybe I missed that part lol.
@@russelllawrence7182 This interview he didn’t interrupt his guest once. So my statement was based on this interview.
If you haven’t already, check out Shawn Ryan show. He’s a former SEAL and CIA contractor and has some insanely interesting guests. He is the same as Joe in regard to letting his guests speak freely
Rob O'Neil is going to make an amazinggggggg grandpa. Imagine all the stories!! Joe and Rob, 2 very different walks of life and the interview was so amazing.
Imagine all the stories he can’t talk about. My grandfather was one of the first few in the Underwater Demolition teams before seals became seals. Hes 83 years old and hes told some insane stories from the vietnam war, the gulf incidents, places the government sent him that we’ll never be told about. Yeah man. They have signed some NDAs that’ll blow your mind into pieces.
As we proceed. Appreciate y’all support.
Now Joe is 100% a HARD NOSED VET! lol
What's Up Ian!
I heard @MàL___ stormz in halfway thru MaGA hatted up and steals Joe.
Premium content
We need more of this ..taking it to the next level ....cant just interview R&b and hiphop artist its time to crossover.... salute
Perspective and experience is everything. One person came from an animal hunting city and the other came from a human hunting city. I love this! It shows why conversation is so important
Joe Budden, this is single-handedly one of the best interviews I have seen. Mr. O'Neill stories are captivating. Unbelievable...
The best interview I’ve ever watched in 41 yrs of my life
What buddy got into at 20:05 was nothing short on incredible. Shout out to Joe for taking such an interview and bro being down to do it. Crossing the worlds.
That quit tomorrow speech was inspiring as hell 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Factual
Yea that was the best thing I've heard ina long time
absolutely! that and the advice to just breathe. it seems so simple but it is truly a great way to keep moving forward
Those are some dark hands 👌🏿
timestamp please?
Absolutely loved this interview! Joe you 100% should do More interviews like this ! God bless this man ! Our soldiers are beyond amazing! What they go through is unthinkable! I hope they get more help though I see so many people suffering from PTSD from being in and how it affects them and their families
we dont need to be at the war with so many countries and shouldnt believe the fact that freedom isnt free. we fight for oil, land, power, and many other reaons that isnt freedom
The mindset these guys have is amazing. he kept saying " oh we knew we were going to die" and to still push through when you know that it's a high possibility...sheesh.. dude is a real one. Glad he can still find humor in life.
As a civilian that goes to work and listen to RUclips content and think "what if I enlisted"? I am here to say by far this is the best story I've ever heard (which is the truth) and also here to say from the bottom of my heart "Thank you for your service" and condolences to the soldiers that we all lost and to their families. I am forever grateful for Great Men and Women that serve this country...
@OG _WillyWipeOutare you a Vet? You realize how many black men are killing each other and we as black ppl have a no tell policy but yet we want justice when police officers kill us? But since we gang gang it's okay. These young black men are being attacked by Media outlets and completely mindfucked by our own culture and are completely oblivious to opportunities such as being a Vet and actually serving instead of killing other black men in the same city. But yet you take time out of your day ta leave a BS comment on RUclips towards a sincere and positive comment. IDC what you say, he deserves that as someone who served this country. You may not wanna hear it, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't hear it and it's Positive. So fuck off bruh....
@OG _WillyWipeOut I used to think it was corny also but now I tell myself their thanks is really to the ones who never made it back (or those who did with debilitating injuries) and for whatever reason I am here to accept it on their behalf. I am actually grateful there are people like the OP who go out of their way to say thank you, I certainly don't deserve it but the people who do arent around to hear it. Just remember, it wasnt long ago that guys coming home from Vietnam had to change out of their uniforms ASAP so they would not get spit on. Now days I don't wear my stuff to avoid thank you's I don't deserve - that's a good problem to have
Don't let the first comment get to you, most of us really do appreciate how supportive you the vast majority of citizens are to us. I just wish all Americans treated all Americans with the same regard
@OG _WillyWipeOut speak for yourself
I too am very grateful for your service to our nation. Thank you Sirs
“If you can master the basics, success will take care of itself” - Rob O’Neill
What a fantastic, amazing, mind blowing interview! I’m intensely proud of Rob and I’d love to buy him a beer and listen to whatever he wanted to talk about.
This is crazy epic, it’s always a treat to see joe step out the Music culture lane and titling this “Humans” is straight to the punch 👍🏽 Fully along with this Series! can’t wait for Ep. 2! Shout out The JBN for never failing to Deliver🔥
damn this was a banger
So many goose bump moments listening to this... A truly amazing conversation. From heart breaking to heart warming, from the mundane to the extreme. Thank you for allowing this story to be heard and allowing him to just tell his story.
That dudes a proven liar. Bin laden lives
This is the pinnacle of a pivot and exceptional journalism. Joe is different and this "Humans" segment looks and feels like it's gonna set the bar. Keep up the dope fckn work!
Yeah the title alone is epic, and this first interview set a pretty high bar!
did we watch the same podcast he assumed a rack made money from war he thought Captain Phillips was in Pakistan and bin Laden's house is like he i.q is a rock physical journalism exceptional you said is this Joe
@@rick8432 ?
@@rick8432 >a rack
This is the best interview ive ever seen. Hands down. I’m just in absolute awe at this man’s storytelling
This is the best story telling I've ever listened to in an interview. What a life this guy has lived
Indeed
Imagine the stories that the black soldiers of WW2 had, men who weren’t even allowed to piss in a white toilet yet still risked and gave their lives for this country. NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A HERO!
Only 15 min in….Joe we’ve said this before but you have a gift when it comes to talking with people. I know life has had its ups and downs with you, but I’m glad you’re stepping into something new! This is the content we want to see!
Joe Budden, this interview is absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Humans series is gonna dominate the space...congrats sir!
I wanna see Joe and Bishop Don Magic Juan
Interview was bananas
I agree!!
This guy is amazing at telling story’s a couple beers with him hanging out has to be an adventure all in itself even joe was all in to the story
It's funny when a city guy and a country guy sit down and talk. As a country boy it's funny to see Joe's reactions to the life
expecially the hunting part
@@nickcartia396 "what's next, you gonna kill people"? Haha. Everyone where I live is packing and no one ever gets shot...except targets
Nick cartia especially* saying Expecially makes people who have brains think you don’t have one.
Even as a city boy I find him pretty naive. Like implying he and his dad were psychopaths for hunting was weird af
@@manwithnoplan5496 Rob played it pretty cool
If you told me in 2009 listening to padded room that this is where Joe would be at in life I’d be pleasantly surprised. Witnessing the growth has really been something.
I thought Joe was gonna to put out mixtapes forever
Lmfao exactly!
Hands down the best interview Joe has ever conducted. Rob steals the show (as expected). Best 2hrs I’ve had in a long time
Awesome interview! Great to see two men from different walks of life sit down and have a respectful conversation.
Put a great conversationalist like Joe in the room, with genuine curiosity he's had his whole life - with an audience that might have never been exposed to these stories - and bring on epic guests - You have the recipe for greatness. I'm here for this - ARE YOU IN THE MOOOD YETTTT
This was a major awakening for Joe hearing the life of a military man let alone Tier1 Operator. Crazy life to say the least!
When Rob mentioned “it’s a big planet but a small world we have a lot in common with people from different places” it made me think of when I was sitting on watch on my ship I was in the navy, we were somewhere I can’t remember where exactly but we had a Russian AGI, one of there intel collecting ships, I watched on the infrared camera zoomed in on their ship, there was a couple of their sailors carrying trash bags to the bag of the ship in the middle of the night and throwing them overboard. And that really grounded me. Like those people are just like us they just speak a different language and live in a different country. Same world though. Like yes earth is huge but it’s one of the smaller planets in this solar system and we just can’t get away from alienating different groups of humans. Just made me have a deep moment of thought at 1 am that night. P.S. it was way out in the middle of the ocean so throwing trash over the side is “legal” under maritime law
20 minutes in and I'm loving this interview. I love how you have 2 very different grown men understanding and relating to each other. Great questions asked
As a Hood dude and navy seal historian this was so dope. I’ve read both his books and heard his story many times but seeing him with somebody who represents my culture was lit..Buddens I Salute you and Rob Respect to you and all the frogmen, the world’s greatest shooters..Long Live the UDT 💪🏿💪🏿 The Fact I thought my Charges would keep me from trying out in Bud/s is my worst regret to this day, Met Remy A. At JFK and meeting a Black Seal from the hood made me realized what I could have been but it was super dope! Joe u need to have him on too he’s from the Bx
We share similar paths. I myself wanted to be a marine sniper or seal after reading books in highschool. Unfortunately my life took a different path and i did a different kind of service
Same here brother. Fellow NYer. My biggest regret is not following my dreams instead of money. Sadly in Ny that’s a number one priority, so we don’t see opportunities like others in this country. We are constantly grinding so we and our loved ones can live. I wish I just pulled the trigger and went in. I’ve been reading books on SEALs since I was a kid. My grandfather was in the Navy during Korean War. He used to tell me crazy stories of the UDT guys. Wish you the best brother.
Respect. You can always pass that wisdom on to the next generation so that they can make a difference in their own lives and community 💪
Guy is a fucking gangster
Have a look at the UK's brothers in arms, the SBS. In North Sea Oil rig War Games, they've never lost, against the best air Regiment in the SAS.
I’m so proud to see the evolution of Joey. The true journalist. Getting the interview we all wanted, asking the right questions and actively listening to the man. Beautiful. And I’m so proud of you Joey❤️
Mr O’Neill - we thank you for your service! We appreciate you for the sacrifices you have made to protect us.
You have to appreciate a guy like this. The sacrifices and mental pains he’s been through is unbelievable to the normal human
Honestly man that’s why I hate when people slander veterans or the military. They’re following orders. Orders that someone else gave them for their own personal gains. And they have to LIVE with that shit. I guarantee you a good 90% of the vets that fought in Iraq were against it. But what can they do? Not a damn thing man.
this was sooo good. it’s nice to see 2 people from different backgrounds talk about the difference in the same world. it was interesting to see how he deals with things and how you countered him with emotions and feelings. i was super invested
HAHAHAH when Rob made the joke about "put a spoon in the water, and if it tastes like salt, there are sharks", Joe's face could not have looked anymore confused.
Talking about his navy seal PTSD training memories and hes like “😅ive seen that on movies” “i cant swim😐”
That, and when he said C-6 (heh heh) well... It's two bigger than C-4. 🤣🤣
Binge watched a lot of Robert O’Neil podcasts today and this is the best one. I love how you asked about family and the regular guy type of stuff.
lol
The way he describes the story of the killing Bin Ladin with All that energy had my heart racing like I’m watching a movie 🤯
it's called acting
I was in the edge of my seat the whole interview as I was watching on my phone! As a Marine of 20 years hearing stories of how SEALS took out Bin Laden never gets old!!

@@staymadloser7754 no cap at all, retiring from the Marine Corps on January 31st, 2023! Stepped on the yellow footprints of Parris Island, SC on January 13th, 2003!! 20 years!!!
He's a good interviewer and I hope Joe goes more out of his wheelhouse like this one
This is amazing. I never thought I'd ever see these two in a room together
The thing I like about this guy ia he's so down to earth and humble, so sooo quick-witted and intelligent. Someone with "book sense" and common sense in one. A rare find.
Great interview!! Although the SEAL speaks really fast sometimes lol but I thought there was no way I’d sit through 2+ hours of an interview but it flew by! Really looking forward to this series!
This is one of the most interesting interviews I've ever seen! How do you have a sniper who's a great storyteller 👏👏👏
That’s true 🔥🔥🔥
Some of those guys are great but bad story tellers or bad at interviews.
Which I totally understand 💯
But this guy was very transparent and clear and sounds like he’s ok mentally, like in a good state still.
Most military veterans are great storytellers, we’ve seen a lot of interesting things
@@kennethcorbin8580 Thank you for your service 🙏. I'd absolutely love to hear more incredible stories from military men and women... good storytellers of course 🙌
He’s told these stories thousands of times at this point lol
@@Brady.John87 Your point! Good for you that you've heard it befor but he's never sat down with JB before so that's also what made the interview
You can really feel Joe’s love for this time well spent. I love the title too, nothing too wordy flashy or crazy….just humans. Us being us and why we do what we do. Brilliant.
Don't let Rob's humility and folksy "Aww shucks..." country boy demeanor fool you. This man was one of the finest SEALs the US Navy ever built. He entered BUD/s at 19 yrs old standing 6'2", and in tremendous shape because he was previously a college basketball player. No colleges anywhere- no matter how small they are -hand out scholarships to people who aren't above average athletes. The student-athletes at even the tiniest Div. 3 schools are composed of people who are physically superior to the average working man. Rob had all the advantages upon entering into SEAL training because he was both a lifelong athlete, and an avid outdoorsman. He's very competitive by nature, and he absolutely hates losing at absolutely anything.
He had plenty of experience with guns, hunting/tracking, and surviving nature's elements from growing up in the frozen forests of Montana hunting big game. Without question, Rob was cut out for the Navy SEALs. He's inherently curious and attentive by nature, and he has a steel trap mind. He has fast reaction times; was already a compotent marksman prior to enlisting; and his reflexes have always told him to think first before panicking. Rob had all the qualities SEAL instructors look for in new recruits.
If you've ever listened to the content of other former SEALs and Tier 1 operators, you'll have heard the term "one percenter" get thrown around before. The 1% were the guys in special forces training everyone else in the class hated because they were not only the physically superior athletes, but they also always seemed to "get it" instantly. They never fell behind during PT, and they mostly passed their hardgate tests the first time, every time.
That was Rob. He was one of those detestable "one percenters" the rest of the class simply couldn't hang with.
Again, don't let his humility and blue collar values fool you. Rob O'Neill was always destined to become an elite warrior someday. He just has the class to never be the one who says it.
Very well put.
If you ever did I biography on him I'd read it.
Perfectly said. You yourself obviously understand the warrior spirit and mentality. I am a former combat soldier ( not special forces by any stretch) and even though I could have never qualified to be in any special forces like these guys. I understand what it takes to take life and see life lost. In those moments you don't have time to see or feel the long term repercussions. But, later and it's different for everyone on how long it takes. Later it's going to hit you and the realization on how senseless most of it is, it's overwhelming. The sense of loss, the sense of guilt and the sense of fear that can settle into your spirit is difficult at times to bear. The latest statistics I heard were that we lose 22 soldiers a day to suicide. The kind of hurt a person has to feel to take their own life is bad to put it mildly. What people don't get, and I have had my weapon against my own temple more than once, is that we have already taken so much life and seen so much life lost. It's easy to reason with yourself, what's one more? Pray for our troops past, present and future. There must be a better way to deal with these conflicts. Peace and blessings to all who read this!!
Whoa buddy we ain’t reading all that tf 😂 we can read his book like
You did
Didn’t know it was possible to make rob sound more badass but you did it
So proud of Joe's evolution. He's had an amazing journey from hiphop to journalist.I also believe Joe is extremely intelligent an has the ability to command attention.I thoroughly enjoy listening to his podcast & watching his interviews.I wish him continued success in all his endeavors.May he achieve his hearts desire.
True indeed. After Rory and Mal left I can see how he changed but also just continues to evolve as a journalist. He’s one of the best in this field…
You don't know what journalism is
This was beautiful to watch. God bless this man. You can tell by him speaking a mile a minute he could have sat there for hours telling in depth stories. It’s amazing what you can experience in life and still be able to pull it together everyday to still love hard and tell your story. It’s incredible to see what hard work does.
This is so dope, Joe. Loved this whole interaction.
I will never forget this interview. Watched it months ago and I still bring it up in conversations
Something about this interview is so encapsulating. It’s hard to keep my attention with long youtube videos for any longer than 15 minutes but I couldn’t stop watching this.
Best interview you have ever done. You gave Rob the comfort to tell his story in a way that makes us feel it in first hand perspective while also asking the question we where interested to have answered. No cutting in and weighing in a narrative. This is so much more interesting than watching interviews of uneducated, limited vocabulary, grown men talking about nothing. This was inspiring and I hope you do more interviews outside of hip-hop to introduce more outstanding humans like Rob to the world.
This is an unexpected direction but I like it. I like non celebrity content. Loving this 🙌🏾
Rob is a celeb now lol
@@JAEZAI1 no he’s famous, not a celebrity, there’s a difference
Me too
@@JAEZAI1 he's a warrior not a celebrity
Can't believe how the hell these guys don't get paid by the Navy for the rest of their life's
.. he deserves to lay back with ease for the rest of his godamn day
Freaking hero !
I’ve seen pretty much every Rob ONeil podcast and this might be the best one. Probably because he’s talking to someone who isn’t affiliated with the military what so ever so it forces him to describe every detail and step along the way in his journey. Great show.
Outstanding interview Joe. Would love to see more interviews with people outside your element like this. Great Job just letting this man talk an tell his story. More content like this!
the title "humans" alone is genius it's already thought provoking before you see any content. congratulations to the network and to joe.
Yeah the possibilities are endless
Disabled vet ..iv been to war. This guy and his team saved us in ways we can't imagine. Thank you Joe for allowing his story
Joey. You have to promote this more!! I don't recall it being discussed on the JBP... and I'm a Patreon member. LOVE this and your versatility.
Man my heart was beating fast while he was telling his story… great job Joe
This could have been ten hours long & still not long enough!
Best interview I’ve ever listened to
1:05:13 I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed as hard as I did at the “14 foot man or a stairwell” joke, top notch.
For this to be episode one you couldn’t have picked a better guest. I’ve hear mr O’Neal’s story before but it never gets old and it never ceases to amaze me how incredible this story really is. It just surprises me how humble you can be after doing something so amazing. They knew they were going to die and still went. These guys who fight for us and protect us are heroes. They are top tier operators that are intelligent, calculated and fucking great at killing people. I’m glad they’re on our side.
Yeah, talk about setting the bar high.
Agreed💪
Very very TRUE! These are the real MF HEROES!
And it's guys like him that keep us safe without asking for anything in return!
That's one thing that pisses me off when people wanna say cops are some kind of heroes. Cops join to b called a heroe even tho they aren't and never will be! These real heroes have never asked to be called heroes!
Joe...my dude. As a friend of the show and proud Marine I want to thank you...great interview!
Semper FI brotha 3/7 I Co 2017-21
Thank you for your service
Thank you for your service bro.. and yeah this was a super sick interview! I think he did a great job, you can tell he was blown away with a lot of answers and a lot of things that the dude was saying, even down to the training.. but all in all this was an extremely extremely good interview in my eyes!🇺🇲🦅🎖️💪✌️
thank you
The whole story of seal team 6 killing Bin Laden is even greater showing how human this guy really is this series will be a big success. We need more interviews with people like this I will tune in everytime. Literally told my self its no way im watching a 2 hour video but couldnt stop dude is great.
2 hours felt like 15 mins! Absolutely amazing! Fine job to both gentlemen!
What an amazing man. Not just for all of his accomplishments but his attitude & demeanor. It fascinates me that after all he still has that light in him. He was so open about everything, speaking on moments that will be written in our history books. By the sounds of things, he's an instructor of some sort which is a blessing bc he's definitely someone who can teach u a lot. Also I seriously respect the fact that he spoke about our governments corruption. That's such a touchy subject with military men/women. On a side note, he definitely has ADHD lol I can relate to how his storied take different directions. May God continue to have his arms around this man & his family, but also forgive him for any sins that we don't understand
He is also got a few drinks in him
Love him or hate him you must respect what he's done and doing. The man knows his worth and everytime they count him out he proves them wrong and continues to elevate.
“Every master has been horrible” great quote.
And I almost became a Patreon member to watch this episode.. thanks Joe
Joe got ptsd when rob mentioned he had a friend named mal while he simultaneously looks like rory😂
AMAZING INTERVIEW. This was life changing. I’ve learned quite a few valuable life lessons and morals watching this. I want to thank all of our troops from all military divisions for their sacrifices. And I want to thank the man above for blessing all of us with another day to be alive. AMEN.
Yessir!🙏🏽
Facts 🙏🏽
🙏🏽💪🏽
One of the best interviews ever. I needed to hear this. I served 21 years in the Army n just retired in July. Been in Afghanistan Iraq Turkey and Syria. PTSD is real weather in the streets or the military. Salute Joe
@Nodnarb Sivad do you qualify for Space -A travel now 🤔
I like this content, keep the people in different worlds, out of entertainment please, we so tired of the entertainment industry. Rob and these type of people are so interesting and really do the cool life sh!t Keep going!!!!!!!!!!
Yeessss!!!!
Only interviewed non industry, real life people 🔥🔥
I’m here for it
Facts
This interview was amazing. Never heard from this guy
Speak for yourself I’m not tired of the entertainment industry
What you mean "these types of people"? 🤔 I'm j/p 😂
Ok, respect where respect is due. This was an outstanding interview. From start to finish it was very interesting and easy to listen to. The conversation flowed naturally, Joe gave Rob all the time needed to speak and didn’t cut him off yet knew when to dial the conversation in on something for the audience.
We tend to use the word "bad ass" for a lot of people. Every one of them was wrong. This is the definition of bad ass. Thank you, sir.
Have not kept up much with joes content since the Everyday Struggle and Rory and Mal days but I really enjoyed this. Seeing Joe and a seal with compleltly different backgrounds have such similarities was awesome
Flowers to you Joe… you deserve it this was a AWESOME INTERVIEW
The moments leading up to seeing Bin Laden had me on the edge of my seat. If you played “Zelda Link to the Past” it kind of reminds you the moments right before you face Gannon. There’s a silence then you finally see guy you’ve been looking for the entire game.
This is the best interview I have seen in a long time!!! Great guest and great questions by Joe! I grew up a military brat so I am loving the stories and details that he was able to share!! Great work!!!
This was so dope Joe!! I’m so here for this type of content from you!! 👏🏾
Can’t believe he’s allowed to talk about all of it in detail. Dope and newly rare interview!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cause it cap
@@lungelobaba9942 explain how it’s cap?
I want to see those pics he was talking about
it's highly frowned upon and they gave him a real hard time about writing his book, but these dudes get terrible pay. he did all that and was probably making like 60k. so he wrote his book to cash in after realizing he was disposable
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
33 minutes in and I can't believe how much I'm enjoying this!
What a fantastic raconteur! 👏 Thank you for your service, sir 💐 (and Joe! I'm LOVING these documentaries 💜)
The way the nonchalantly says…”Those are my gloves, I’m holding his head together.” I can’t stop laughing at that 😂
