What an incredible guest and amazing episode. Major props to the 2/75 Battalion Recce guys for digging deep for our SEAL brothers. Matt Stevens is arguably one of the most distinguished SEAL officers ever but you'd never know it from how humble he is. Lots of wisdom in this episode.

[@washburn5552]

Served during the 1990s RRD in Just Cause and we always respect the SEALS but mission execution was a bit leaking on ground ops/HVT HVI mission ops We were still a Regimental element prior to JSOC…We did op under SOCOM & with CAG before tier 1 redesignation.

[@RavishingSailor]

You guys have phenomenal interviewing skills. You ask great questions and always let your guest speak without interrupting. Thank you all for your service to our great country 🇺🇸

[@bigglock5478]

Dave has improved tremendously in regards to his questions this year. Love to see it

[@Dave_Hall_jr]

Love how cool and humble these warriors are now but i could imagine how savage they were during the war 😂

[@joehavin1]

I think i have lost count just how many guys that were involved with the recovery effort of Operations Red Wings say that the RRD guys were on a completely different level. Now youre hearing it from a DevGru Squadron Commander. @1:20:34

[@TYLERNAVYGUY]

The Finest Hour reference....watched it yet? Bosco! Mazolli! Hammer! Hoo Yah! 218 here....

[@mcorbin9474]

Wild that I didn't get a notification for the show... Time to get a desk calendar. Edit: I see what happened, stupid helicopter crash....

[@owainlewis993]

Good interview down to earth guy!

[@rox6385]

Superb presentation!

[@chgtffk1]

Great interview. Matt is a humble professional.

[@BlueWaterSTAX]

Great interview guys. Thanks for your service....all of you. We appreciate the sacrifices ✌️

[@jasonhansen782]

Another good show, take care from nord Minnesota 👍🇺🇸

[@user-qv9vo3io7h]

Thanks for sharing these experiences gentlemen.

[@chuckwhitson654]

I'm really thankful for your channel. Thank you for everything, guys. This guy is an ok dude. Keeping it real. Ol biggun has a surprise for anyone who doesn't know better. I like this cat

[@alainrouleau]

Hello from Canada... ALL very interesting, thanks! 👍

[@blech71]

Absolutely loved this one

[@robmills7611]

Boy you are not the first Seal that I've heard say that the first they knew about the Seals was through that Parade magazine article! That definitely affected some people big time!

[@farmerdave33]

Back when everyone bought the Sunday newspaper and there was actually information and news in it.

[@robmills7611]

@@farmerdave33 Yeah and I really miss those days! Always loved my morning paper and coffee ❤️

[@aidancarlisle5078]

That op they were on sounds just like the one from Medal of Honor. I remember playing that game as a kid. Pretty awesome to hear from a guy that did it in real life

[@Yambag]

Which one bro i'm too lazy to watch the whole thing

[@user-po4kn2qh3n]

​@@Yambag they went to this place and killed the bad guys

[@skipmooney5732]

I can’t see anyone not wanting to relate or even follow this Gentlemen. For a Ring Knocker ;)

[@Lizardforce]

Fantastic!❤

[@TheCarlious]

The last time I saw the massage parlor open was 2010. Allegedly.

[@inonothing09]

Just love the humility of these ultimate warriors . Great qualities to aspire to .

[@jaredchandler4491]

Clearly a great and natural leader-- for a frog😆🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@johnwheelz1699]

It’s great that you have a non profit but just wish you guys help conventional guys and gals, there is so many special forced charities and not many for everyone else. . Hopefully in the future you guys expand. Thanks you for your service and all you do for vets.

[@jlahr10]

Wow, Vienna Inn reppin hard.

[@James-sn9sz]

Great show thx

[@gunnerwright7793]

I had no clue this was today they just doing this random now.

[@JeffMason-yk5kg]

Wow your from Binghamton??I lived there for 3 yrs i’m now in Endicott NY

[@PB-dr4cq]

Stone Cold Killer Thank God he’s on our side..

[@Devilfrog03]

Had Teammates get disabled permanently using our boats, most definetly dangerus. Even when the bullets arent flying. Just the method you use for infil and exfil can get you killed.

[@djblackruss]

I was there in 04, there was no Thai massage parlor

[@gunnerwright7793]

U should have Chris beck on!

[@flyjoseph6355]

The Finest Hour 😆 that movie wasn't bad actually

[@smokeytheanimal3662]

WoW!

[@jeremiahculwell4424]

Too many books in the IKEA bookcase. Maybe time to start giving a few books away to Patreon members. haha

[@meidamx]

Get some.

[@JS-yr3vq]

So this guy wasn’t an assaulter? Didn’t know you could command at ST6 without being assaulter.

[@scr4370]

👍

[@paulstrathern4309]

I wonder if THIS guy is the Seal officer that Sean Naylor was talking about when he said that a Seal officer chastised him for questioning their land capabilities and said 'The 'L" stands for LAND, dude'!

[@mrs8171]

Doubt it.

[@devinmoran59]

How many books did he write

[@mikelee7876]

You guys get more seals on then the former team guys do

[@TheTeamHousePodcast]

We've had three SEALs on in all of 2024 so far. We had I believe three SEALs on during the entire year of 2023.

[@PB-dr4cq]

Yeah.. huh?

[@earth9531]

@1:19:14 tell me it was BUKs without telling me it was totally BUKs 😉

[@Greeneyes0605]

Ok Red squadron, same time as Rob O`Neil i think???

[@BryceMcQueen-qk2zu]

Did he say ," 1300 Since 2014"?"

[@DanielSmith-lv5ed]

Who has their debit in their pts?

[@dallas8800]

The audio is too quiet on all the episodes

[@wildbill60]

💯👍🇺🇸

[@mikelee7876]

U must have gotten in trouble to go to the army spec ops coarse

[@nic_03]

1:13:05 what is the “white side”?

[@patrik4446]

White side is regular seals or any tier 2 unit missions Black side is only tier 1 units or missions : delta, seal team 6

[@Greeneyes0605]

Was he in Red, Blue or Gold??

[@nihalsalunke3504]

Bring Major Vivek jacob back once again 🫡

[@nikolasbbq]

I DON'T MAKE 150 GRAND a year, I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN MY PROTEIN, AND I DON'T CAR ABOUT YOUR CREATINE and I'm not stuck in my job search.

[@IuItim]

Am I losing my hearing?

[@LongFatJohnston]

>Matt Stevens, Jack Murphy, Dave Park "we're all the same guys" >Sheriff of Baghdad "The Unit was created to be stand alone, the SEALs were not. The SEALs could never be an equivalent to the Unit because they weren't created to do any of that and still are not" >MSGT Keller "the rangers can't operate like Delta" >Chris Ryan - SAS "no special operations force in the world can do what Delta does because they don't have as much money as Delta" It's funny how often you hear non unit guys saying they're basically just like The Unit. Even guys in the SOF of other nations can plainly see the difference between Delta and everyone else. During the Extortion 17 shoot down the DEVGRU SEALs were supporting Rangers. Not once in it's history has the Unit ever supported Rangers.

[@TheTeamHousePodcast]

No one ever said in this episode that Delta Force is the same as XYZ unit. I'm pretty sure because I was there, conducting the episode last night. Matt's point was that we're basically all cut from the same cloth and should work together in an adult manner. Seems like a good idea to me.

[@davidparke7813]

Same guys, not same unit. Guys who are driven, fit and want to take the fight to the enemy. Guys who can train for a myriad of missions and adapt to new and complex situations. Guys who, as a rule, don’t quit.

[@alexlaszloross6384]

Same team, fellas. Same team… Let’s not let the internet turn us into catty bitches.

[@mikelee7876]

Top gun sucked wow. Not sure I like this dude plus he’s a officer

[@sct8326]

The only reason this channel is at 500k is because the guest isnt sitting in front of you guys. Great interview as always.

[@johnkarcis5142]

I was a marine have been around seals a bit always respected them...but today this silent professional thing in the seals is gone...and I'm team seal but nowadays you have not just seals but fucking devgru online making videos...with Delta this just doesn't happen I don't know nearly as much as I'd like to know about Delta because they just don't broadcast anything the way it should be.

[@DeanSchumacher]

Those seals love spreading there bullshit and love making up bullshit a few guys are ruining the seal name and the quiet profession everybody one up each other

[@GhostWave.1]

there is no “was a marine” you ARE a marine. rrrrrah

[@coolio5477]

Delta makes tons of interviews lol what are you talking about

[@gunnerwright7793]

With the lack of people joining the military now days they need to advertise to get recruits. They now are bringing retired military back up to age 70. Due to low recruitment numbers. Ironically the marines has the worse sign up offers yet is the only one. Meeting #s
