Back From The Dead with Jason Redman | Mike Drop: Episode 64

[@ryanjones8760]

A man who can go through all that and still light up my KZbin page with a smile is a man who live life to the fullest

[@jordanmiller4487]

Had the pleasure of meeting Jason a few yrs back while working a party for the "hope for the warriors" org they had an office where i worked as a supervisor for the building security ( I am retired from the NYPD). Reason I approached him is that a real good friend of mine served with him on SEAL Team 4. I admittedly name dropped, after a quick conversation he asked if I had my friends # which i gave. It was nice to re-connect the two of them. What was even more nice was that I had mentioned my parents were at the event and my pops is a US Marine, he asked me to introduce him and his wife to my parents...I returned to my work and over two hours later the four of them were still seated and shooting the shit. My parents both said that Jason and his wonderful life were two of the most real, genuine couple they had ever met. The three of us have read his first book (me before I met him, my parents after they met him). So Mike, if you get to reading this send him my families regards to he and his wife from, if he remembers, the retired cop with the big head that worked the party at 55 Water street in NYC that grew up with his teammate Brett H. If not I wil still watch and choke myself, maybe even at the same time. Everyone should watch, Jason is a very col dude and he has some F'n story to tell. PS I have said it before in you comments section, thank you so much for what you for the K9"s. I am a dog guy, have the pleasure of living with two of em now, rednose female pitbull and a frankenstein mix of pitbull, mastiff, boxer, and possible powerlifter haha

@Joanna Kingston you are very welcome What is funny is both my friend that served with Jason and myself barely graduated high school. It was just so boring, I got hired by the NYPD 2 yrs later at the age of 20, my friend joined the Navy 2 yrs later. He told me i got my head out of my ass 2yrs before he did

[@chiweenie96]

Wow, that doesn't surprise me having read his book years ago n again recently. Such a good guy, inspirational fore sure!

[@donc9751]

Thats a great story thank you for sharing the experience you shared with Jason and your parents and you! After hearing Jason speak of his early difficulties he struggled with as a newly minted officer, I am totally blown away by his integrity and honesty in how he owned and overcame it! What a tough "row to hoe" as my grandfather would say. He was also a WW2 Vet who was with the Rainbow division in Europe and helped liberate Dauchau on April 29th, 1945. Thank you for your service!

[@Bushanie24]

@@donc9751 you are very welcome a the age of 20 in 1992 and being an NYPD cop i would have done that for free it was like going to the zoo and circus with no rules every day with your craziest best friends, I had to grow a pair real fast

[@gregpoulin6184]

And Jason Redman. Amazing story. I was glued to my phone for 3 hours!!!

[@busterallen7825]

Mr. Redman’s book is outstanding.

Jason Redman true legit Warrior Patriot and badass Navy Seal that is the living example of improvise adapt and overcome pain and suffering from the battlefield while living life to the fullest extent

[@Guns_and_Outdoors_Channel]

Wow. Fantastic Show. Thank you. Navy Vet here. What a story of highs, lows, then Highs! This man is a winner, and a hero! His story of desire, failure, lessons learned, and ultimately “Triumph” over adversity is proof that people can bounce back and overcome. Thanks for sharing it. 🙏👍🇺🇸

[@mikemarfell6943]

WELCOME BACK Mike, been missing Mic Drop my man. The world is now back on the level for me :)

[@nikkiarana]

One of my favorite things is hearing a genuine laugh, he's got a great laugh and a beautiful smile. Would have loved to hear a bit from his wife, she sounds amazing. ❤🙏🇺🇸 No shit, really great listen fellas.

[@daveaver]

There are KZbin videos that are timeless. This is one of them because of his resilience and message to those struggling. Here’s to a healthy 2024.

[@rAvensBBr]

Met Jay at an event in 'Naptown back in '14, he's a real authentic, humble and good dude. Took a lot of inspiration from reading his book and then meeting him at a dedication to a fallen SEAL.

[@OldStreetDoc]

When you get to have your own ‘Young Jamie’ behind the scenes, you know you’ve hit the big time. 😉 Loving the podcasts, Mike! Jason Redman is a FASCINATING guest with an epic story. The lessons here are seemingly endless. Thank you both for making this available. 👏🏼🇺🇸

[@GuillermoGomezGG1959]

The most impacting PODCAST in history! The recollection of events are well worth the time, an amazing story of character, resilience and purpose. Jason is a fighter, American Hero and an example of what a leader should be. Mike's interviewing skills and sarcasm carried this interview beautifully. God Bless these "Point men for life"

[@blackpagan100]

Hearing the huge difficulties guys like this overcome helps put my meagre problems into perspective. Cheers guys.

[@mikealessi7006]

Alot of lessons to learn from this guy. Where do you begin? Humbleness and humility is the springboard for understanding leadership. I dont know how many in my life God has brought me down to the pit to put me back in prospective.

[@shaunholland2634]

Mike I love hearing theses stories man. I was a engine mechanic on the AC130U model gun ships around a lot of the times these hero’s tell their stories. Glad to know me wrenching on airplanes definitely impacted some lives

[@paulscott3199]

I want to thank you guys for all you have given to protect our way of life. I am a recovering addict and sometimes I have bad days and I want to do dumb shit. When I hear the stories of what you guys have had to deal with it motivates me to continue to fight and make my life better. Thank you

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

I find there's no better motivation and positivity as there is from Military guys.

[@MrJPort10]

Me too brother. Clean of anything illegal over a year but I am still going to the methadone clinic every day. It's better than being strung out and doing what we do to survive that, but It's a never ending battle. I too get inspiration from these guys, especially when I'm feeling sorry for myself and having a pity party.

[@GentiluomoStraniero]

This man inspires greatness. Thank you.

[@WolfPeace82]

I'm in a rough spot, but you both have my respect ...If there were more people like you in the world; the world wouldn't be nearly as soft or as shitty as it has become

[@Uninfluenced]

This was a Damn good show.. Jason Story shows If you stay strong you can Survive.. And Being Hard Headed Most times Bites you in the ass But Can help you learn a lot.. I love the Outlook on being good at training leaders because he failed.. That's so true...

[@joeyjojojr.shabadoo915]

Jason looks good. I can't imagine the will (and skill) of those who probably had to drag him to get his plastic surgery done, because from all of the traits that he displays (also referring to the letter posted in his hospital room ie.'Don't feel sorry for me, I did what I love.....etc'), vanity never seemed to be at the top of his amazingly long list, but he deserves so much and more. He is by far one of my favorite Vet motivational speakers. Humble. Certain. Deliberate. No regrets. A true hero.

[@johnsheetz7983]

You have the best show around,very talented and very stand up human being

[@gerrymiller4523]

Excellent! I love his story, especially the message/lesson that you can mess up but with the right attitude, you can redeem yourself. Resilience is the most important trait in these types.

[@andrewyaden5209]

Welcome back Mike, look forward to hearing Mr. Redman’s story.

[@adamterry6383]

If there is one thing that I have learned from Mike and the incredible guests on the show...Its how important a sense of humor is. If you can laugh and smile through any situation in life...You are probably going to be alright.

[@annaclark4534]

I’m a long time fan of each of these spectacular men!! Wow! What a great episode I was having with drawls Mike! Lol! No matter how many times I’ve read or heard Jason’s story I’m still in AWE of him! Thank you gentlemen, for the continued sacrifice and allowing us to travel through the myriad of lessons and memories! The lessons y’all are teaching are creating a generation of men and women. Even helping “civilians” like me raise men and continue to fight through this life! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@pbader2]

So the 20+ that gave it a thumbs down must be other Team guys who love to give each other shit? Excellent as always Mike. Redman’s humility about his own failings in leadership was very raw and honest.

[@mamichellefair]

Thank you and God bless you both. This podcast was right on time. My brother committed suicide 10Dec2019 and my baby sister just overdosed 09Sep2020. I have never been so lost and heartbroken, along with the rest of my family. I wasn't able to sleep, checked my KZbin notifications and received this message. So, I thank you for being you and doing all you do.

I worked in the ER at Speicher/Tikrit in 2006/2007, we had nurses assigned in Balad with the Air Force.. treated so many guys (good and bad) that I would love to find out how they are doing or if they even made it. Lost quite a few as well. Totally changed my life for the better to go through that. Nothing like Jason went through though. Amazing guy.

As a Retired SF soldier, I truly enjoyed listening to this interview. To listen to an accomplished SOF soldier opening up and admitting they made a mistake, especially as an Officer, is refreshing to listen to. All to often egos get in the way of reality, and hearing him reflect and understand his missteps is huge.

All of the Team Guys that Mike has on the show are the very tip of the tip of the spear, however Jason's story is an incredible testament to perseverance, never ever quit, his twelve hour hiatus from the Rangers aside, and as long as you have a breath, you're never ever out of the fight!! More impressive than his incredible courage, insane drive and unimaginable resiliency is his candor and honesty. You just don't find guys(or gals) in today's world who are gonna, one, own their fvck-ups and two, lay em out there publicly for all to see. His humility regarding his Afghanistan disaster is very impressive as is the lesson that all can take from his experience. It's never over till it's over!! He's a special kind of Warrior and thank the good Lord that we have Men like Jason Redman watchin our six🇺🇸 As always, Incredible vid Brotha👊 Continued Success🍻 RP
