One of the best episodes in recent memory. Really like this guy.

Make no mistake Zach - it does matter that you are prior military. Great insight from a prior Navy vet and father of a Marine Officer currently serving. Remember - "Professionals play hurt" -Use that drive, toughness, and ever ending spirit and know everyday you are a CHANGE AGENT to our community. Best gentleman. Look me up in Arizona if ever.

Awesome interview of Zach and glad he was able to do it. Proud of him and thankful for everything he has done to help me.

Great video guys. It's awesome you got Veteran with a Sign on, nothing like spreading a good message and calling out BS with some spicy humor. And I got waaay too excited to hear my name mentioned on Jocko's podcast, not gonna lie. Thanks Zach!

“My coffee black and my tea in the harbor” is the best

I listened to this while mowing my snow. GOOD.

Zach and I trained at the same jiu-jitsu academy in Tennessee. We actually competed against each other at a comp back in 2020. Good dude!

Such a good talk, Zach is a great dude.

I found your podcast about a year ago and it has been my go-to on a daily basis. I’m now obsessed with SOG and past combat stories but it’s really changed my outlook on well… life. I really appreciate what you’re doing and what you’ve done. Thank you.

Awesome interview, super proud of you Zach!

The pain in his voice is so great. Much respect and prayers 🙏

Genius! Sharing is caring!

Wow! I was born in 87, and it sounds like he's literally describing my childhood . . . I was raised almost the exact and way after my mom and dad split.

This is hands down one of the best episodes you guys have ever done! Awesome work!

Jocko: I'm NOT gonna see Iron Man, how do you like them apples. Zach: Oh...

My only memory of SOI grad before getting on the bus for 1/8...I walked behind a gaggle of Gunny's and said, "by your leave gentlemen.." one spun around and growled "do I look gentle to you?". Good times. My experience was a decade before you, but my grunt experience is a mirror image. Enjoyed it.

Love this show. You and Andy Frisella need to do a show together

Semperfi! To both of you!

3:01:55 I am with Echo lol I keep all my vitamins, pre-workout, protein, creatine, etc…. In a pantry next to the fridge.

Thank you

Gentlemen always a pleasure

Breathing ❤❤❤❤❤

Semper Fi Zach.

Nice explanation on VA Voc. rehab,

Good job Zach

“Dude shape wear” 🤣 LMAO

When Zachs First Sgt. told him "Don't do this anymore, go home, I'm proud of you". Acknowledging his more than sufficient sacrifice and in a way giving him permission to live out the rest of his life. Many soldiers need that big push to attend to themselves.

Okinawa is where the marines came in and it was quiet before it got hot.

Way to represent the grunts brother!

Definitely an easier way to pay for college… 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🇺🇸

1:35:40 -- I'll also confirm as an RA (for a summer) while at school, you're essentially the enforcer for your floor. Anything bad that happens, you're expected to be the blue falcon. 1:37:18 -- As a retired fraternity president, attending a university that was just down the road (aka the 5) from Pendleton, there were ALWAYS a few Marines and 1 SEAL (a pretty well-known one) at our parties. There was always at least one "Super Chad" moment assuming you were able to still stand before midnight and all kinds of hilarious stupidity going on at all times. Some of the greatest times of my life were in college. Feels like yesterday! Miss those days!

THe story at 1:49:45 MUST be made in to a short or something. Echo, this one is on you bro!

Great story about poss testing before deployment. We did the same thing in ‘08. Reported to North Ft Hood on Jan 2, 08…..needless to say the guy who pissed hot changed his call sign to 8ball for the deployment.

This podcast either has fantastic audio quality, or else everyone on it is screened for voice quality before going on. Just an off the wall observation.

In Echos defense I do not keep consumables in the bathroom.

The part about the country code being “01” is fantastic. How many chances do you get to throw that in some douchebags face💪🏻💪🏻😎

See. Watch. Like. Share. Get Some.

Here's a quote for you "Real progress only occurs on the frontiers where likely outcomes are contested"

Tenitus 🤣🤣🤣 I got DP Tenitus.

🌪

2:11:30 I get it your French. HAHA! That's freaking hilarious.

Jocko I am getting shoulder surgery in 7 days for a jiu jitsu injury and I’m feeling a bit scared. Any words of advice?

Yoo JOCKO. THINGS ARE GETTING SCARY SIR!!

Jocko please get Gunny Wallgren on the show.

Lol jocko and e. I fuckin love yall

Marine one

Jocko have you watched the antihero podcast yet? There's a soldier (retired) Matthew Cubbler speaking out about the lie's if the seal team's and you, Chris Kyle are brought up along with Slabinski n Roberts ridge, O'Neil lying about killing UBL and other stuff as well. Maybe you can get Brent Tucker (Delta force operator) on the show so we can clear up what's being said because it's not good

Whatsup with the navy gaming team?

Dudes grandma sounds like a very great woman

Smokey Pipes and a group of ex convicts in Bixby, OK

"My wife had gotten pregnant with our first child" should actually have been, "I had gotten my wife pregnant with our first child." Ain't no immaculate conception goin' on here.
