[@94SexyStang]

it's called REAL LIFE......better get used to it.

[@bubbaballer88]

"Not a single seal's been hit...Navy SEAL"

[@treysteadman9564]

I could literally listen to this guy talk all day. Freaking awesome dude.

[@keeganbenjamin4578]

This is the most underrated interview ever

[@danielalonzo26]

i’m pretty sure we all came from tik tok

[@thebrilliantlydumbshow]

hahah

[@frost7032]

So funny. Its good tho, I have heard him before but him and his dad have a great relationship its crazy

[@drevharrisjr]

whats the time stamp

[@TheDeepDisco]

The difference between his cnn interview and this is great. He went 50 cent

[@Nathan-xk7hm]

Yup

[@michaeldeslondejr5633]

O'Neill has told this story countless times and I've listened to alot of them times. From Howard Stern to his own leadership seminars, this was the most enjoyable and candid. Well done.

[@zac3392]

Agreed

[@TheDeepDisco]

He is so comfortable here its evident, good guy. His cnn years ago was so politically correct

[@xaviercottosantiago8863]

This was a fast rope of Roberts story , didn’t do him justice . Would love to see him on the JRE .

[@JoeJacksonGT3]

Rob, let your Dad speak, damnit!

[@chrisespinoza5012]

I was thinking the exact same thinf!!

[@unaninanine3743]

He's like that. Staccato interruptions. I don't know how he was silent in UBL's house. I think he's 'spastic autistic,' if there's any such term 😂

[@Abdullah-al-Maksiki]

I don’t think Robert wants his dad to accidentally say something he isn’t supposed to

[@michaellucas8882]

Ivan Sosa I agree

[@micahbodha6129]

@@Abdullah-al-Maksiki yeah like bin laden wasnt in the house.

[@richardcarroll8643]

The hosts voice reminds me of "The Goldbergs" so much, he sounds like the little kid

[@TheDeepDisco]

Dont be a dick, robs voice is way higher than all

[@kasprzykmichal7]

WOW one of the greatest podcast I ever watched . Thank you.

[@deanhoward1670]

[@sam317kolasky9]

Yessss

[@mdk777s6]

Best interview ever! Two national Treasures! Thank you Rob and Tom for your Sacrifice and Service! You are the True Heroes! Your nation is very grateful! God Bless you all!

[@seanmurray6044]

[@thebrilliantlydumbshow]

thanks for watching, sean!

[@dwizzleusa4202]

Was thinking the same thing!

[@jordanb7252]

This is the best interview I have ever watched.... respect to those guys

[@TheKeven4040]

Brilliant interview!!! Keep it going

[@ggnore7156]

One of the best podcasts of all time!

[@kennethcusse8295]

I have watched a ton of interviews with Rob but this is the best one I have seen of him. Every father should want to share the bond that Mr. O'Neil shares with his son.

[@Ev1lonepercent]

The O’Neill’s are two incredible human beings. What a great father to have raised such an amazing person in Robert. To have to see all of that combat and see human beings at their worst and still have a positive outlook on humanity is inspiring. I have nothing to complain about I now realize. Life is beautiful. Thank you for such an awesome interview. First time listener you have made a fan here! Keep up the great work.

[@lilybalmann267]

this is hands down the best podcast episode i have ever watched and listend to

[@CD-pk7xr]

Heeeeeyyyyyy

[@davidbadgley2165]

[@triggercrysisjames142]

Always a class act. Respect brother.

[@khalifa5756]

He has the softest, quietest and sweetest voice ever lol 😂 (The Host)

[@justinmorris5312]

Great episode, pissed it wasn’t longer

[@RevoltTragic]

I like how rob and his father always say “we”

[@OMG_No_Way]

Will - I noticed that as well. So cool. Definitely a cool father/son bond.

[@IAHuntingProperties]

Thank you for your service.

[@braydenwhited5707]

Robert is just an absolute badass. Great interview.

[@carlosfranco2437]

Gotta love those stories Thank you!

[@RealColeFarlow]

Great interview. Rob is amazing. But, lord, he doesn't let anyone speak...

[@cadepetty2028]

[@mikefarnan3936]

guy killed Bin Laden, he speaks when he wants to

[@belly818]

[@Goalie001122]

[@NathanAmy]

Bro when he said “who got him” and than one of the seals said “we all did” I almost cried thats one of the best things ive heard

[@worldofsatisfaction.]

I just know his father is proud 🇺🇸

[@americanpatriot6918]

This was an excellent interview! First time I've seen Rob with his dad! Great pair of guys!🤜🤛🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@MikeySkywalker]

It is no wonder he was such a good SEAL. So relaxed and fluid. Really cool dude.

[@bpintogsxr1000]

Rob is such a cool guy. Funny and doesn’t seem to sweat the small stuff. I like that.

[@kylefairchild5487]

Amazing Episode

[@okdirt208]

This show is so underrated. You give some of the best interviews. And ive drilled kiss the keep it simple stupid into my kids for awhile, well my youngest before the rona told his teacher to kiss then explained it. Best phone call from the principal

[@unitedstatesofamerica9948]

Love that he has such a positive atittude

[@creepycrap3605]

It’s inspiring to listen to this. I haven’t been able to do anything I’m my life because of these dumb mental barriers set in my life by depression and bipolar disorder so when I see this it makes me want to get up and start doing something and I should honestly start calling friends especially do to the times right now. Thank you.

[@Mrclean431]

Check out jocko podcast.

[@markketello5757]

[@crazyman30]

Well done Bobby Fairways! Excellent interview

[@vegasdomeshot6580]

I did like this podcast very much ty

[@willmurphy7513]

Wow, this interview flew by. Rob is certainly a badass dude and a badass storyteller as well. Wish you woulda had him on for more than an hour, but there off to the next ridge line I guess! We as Americans and human beings in general owe it to guys like this, his father included, for being real men and real heroes. Hats off to the teams and military personnel everywhere! (The good guys that is 😉)

[@tommytucker1294]

Subscribed and recomended to friends. Great podcast!

[@kylepetersen2907]

Great Video Bob! Sure he did

[@otown0802]

Really enjoyed this, killer duo here!

[@lewisjamieson5809]

This was so interesting

[@oddyykta5405]

This was a really clean podcast my top 10

[@shaanpal4736]

One of the best podcasts episodes I have ever seen. Was glued to my screen for the whole 50 minutes. This guy is a living legend no cap.

[@thebrilliantlydumbshow]

thanks for watching! tell your friends about the show

[@Tommy2shoe811]

@7:15 I can totally appreciate the struggle and practice for pull-ups out of ALL the pt I did for the Army pull-ups were the hardest bc of my shoulders it was embarrassing.

[@thatrezupnorthoverwest6151]

wow what a great podcast

[@DarkKnight-hj6ts]

Amazing

[@brennagardner4097]

Why am I having the hardest time watching this?😂 I wish Rob could keep on one subject for longer then 2 seconds so we can hear everyone’s story. Could have been much more interesting! Mad respect though ❤️🤍💙

[@DarkKnight-hj6ts]

They are so well trained 💪

[@johnfiorvento6416]

I follow you for golf and Joseph...but this interview was spectacular!!!!

[@stevenday6082]

Mr.O'neal could definitely be a radio host with that voice

[@kyleholter6411]

His brother actually is a radio host

[@joe.b944]

What a hero

[@DarkKnight-hj6ts]

Rob for president 🙌

[@harlemhornet]

ahh mann.. Very cool to see. This makes me think back to my Dad and the endless hours we spent on the baseball field, hockey rink.. and so on. It's not until later on in life you really realize how much your parents do for you. As a construction worker he'd work his ass off all day, come home, rush through dinner and take me to whatever sport I had that night. He never once complained, left me hanging or acted like he had somewhere better to be. Long story short.. I see an amazing father son relationship in these two.

[@thebrilliantlydumbshow]

thats what its all about! love that

[@caydenporter7946]

This show is gonna be huge. Glad I’m here way ahead of the curve

[@jellied-breed7764]

24:05 is when he starts talking about bin Ladin

[@TrevanDotCom]

Man, Rob is SO freaking cool.

[@ChrisHyde537]

Two Silver Stars & four Bronze w/V. No Purple Hearts, thankfully. Very good and luck never hurts.

[@AdamYeatesyuh]

the constant random stories and people being distracted is so entertaining

[@user-qs4uq6mn9j]

PJs, CCTs, Delta, “Army helicopter pilots are the best in the world”. I love how this guy gives all these guys credit where it’s due. Knowing everyone’s strength is what makes an elite team.

[@joshroten3997]

I am ready to go back to Tiger Beach and Bimini for more shark diving - Rob & Tom grab your gear, let’s go!

[@fleet_street215]

I was asleep for the initial report but the next morning in the chow hall it was all over the news. I’m slated to go to Afghanistan in 2 months and I’m only thinking “fuck man I hope we still get to go” . Thanks for the stories!!! 🇺🇸

[@scottholmes2276]

Good one…

[@knysgamingchannel]

Yes sir

[@monroetc]

What an OUTSTANDING interview

[@matthewgower]
