Jocko Podcast 15 - with Echo Charles | Band of Brothers | Henry V

[@DainMiller]

44:30 is when Jocko begins performing Shakespeare in the way he thinks it should be portrayed. this was a fucking treat to hear.

[@readingrebellion9758]

Yeah I was like wtf am I doing here on St. Crispin's day, I should probably get down to France..

[@adamgardener9082]

That made me smile. Hellya Jocko

[@chrismouton1985]

That was intense! The man understands battle and motivation.

[@robertor.6942]

Inspiring as usual, my life has never been the same after I discovered Jocko.

[@mojo5093]

yeah me too we few we happy few we band of brothers

[@lewisgreenwood9878]

Just bought a copy of ‘Extreme Ownership’ and my God, worth every penny, super great read and very insightful. And Kudos to you Me Willink for actually taking the time to not only read aloud this piece of art but actually taking the time to break it down and appreciate how powerful this play is. Perhaps the day will come when men will be men again, men who long for the taste of adventure and camaraderie. To stand side by side with strangers and come out the end of such feats as brothers. To travel the seas and see the world on your own terms. “Perish the man whose mind is backwards now” said ‘Westmoreland’ to King Henry V, if this be the case then may all modern men perish, we have been sedated and dulled with cheap pleasure, may the day come when another Henry V rides through the midst and pulls man to a more glorious life.

[@CoupedUpGenny]

every ending when the camera zooms in . you know jockos bout to drop some dam knowledge

[@gregorychampion6391]

I would pay good money to see Jocko perform Shakespeare in an actual play.

[@30yearoldgrom]

Solid message regarding passion. I was only recently made aware that my passion could been taken for aggression. The way Jocko put it was spot on... Don't aim it at the people, aim it at the objective.💪

[@seraph1890]

who the hell thumbs down this?! ! LET! HIM! DEPART! FOR WE SHALL FILL!! HIS PURSE!! WITH CROWNS AND COIN!! BUT HIS NAME SHALL NEVER BE IN ARE CUPS FROM THIS DAY TO THE LAST DAY!

[@kylemcgough4425]

i wish Jocko was my high school english teacher

[@manuelrjimenez]

Kyle Mcgough, right? I would have paid attention!

[@Zyrexism]

please

[@marcschultz3984]

So true. I had a wild man Social Studies teacher my Junior year. When he went off topic......YES! That is the stuff I remember. Greatest teacher that never was. Jocko would be an amazing teacher.

Your breakdown of Shakespeare's Henry V is incredible, it makes me proud to be an Englishman.

[@aureliusrusticus2320]

PLEASE do an inspirational recap video including this excerpt, 49:47 - "But how do you get smarter? You go out and find something that you do not understand and you gain understanding of it. Words you don't know, and phrases you don't know, and concepts you don't know, you find them and you learn them - you teach yourself."

[@Farbar1955]

I looked up some of the speeches from the play cause I was so jacked up after watching this video and I came across the speeches Henry V did to woo Katharine to be his bride after he conquered France. After all he says (he could just take her because of his battle victory but wanted to convince her to love him) when he asks her if she will have him...I was in tears. Jocko's interpretation of Shakespeare opened my eyes to how powerful this play is and how well it was written.

[@steveroh777]

re: alpha-behavior - in primate research, its been observed that the alpha primate spends most of their time looking after the well-being of others in their unit, managing resources, grooming others etc., and arbitrating disputes. in other words, aggressively taking "extreme ownership" for the welfare of the troop members! great episode, one of the best so far.

[@Zosima45]

VERY WELL SAID!

[@IamLaR1]

There is so much to learn in each one of his podcast. Listen again, and again, and again...again.

[@williamwaylander21]

I am listening from the beginning of all the podcasts. Your reading of Shakespeare is fantastic. Thank you.

[@pedrof5215]

At 1:28:13 Echo perfectly discribes why I love this podcast. You guys show how to be agressive the right way!

[@SeemaParsapour]

Thank you Jocko and Echo :) I think it’s so cool you studied English in college. You are the perfect Henry V, embodiment 10/10

[@vaibhavsharma457]

Sir, i sincerely want to thank you for this podcast. My sibling was facing some problem with studying and your advice helped them so much Thank you so so so much sir.

[@seraph1890]

Simply Amazing! one of my favorite Jocko podcast yet! never learned about this Shakespeare play, or maybe just don't remember because Jocko was not reading it.

[@remingtonhupp4660]

Thank you jocko for bringing me to know tilt. Thank you john styrker meyer for turning my attention to this specific podcast that somehow i previously overlooked.🤙🇺🇸

[@Viryn]

Shakespeare performances gave me chills. Brilliant!

[@TheDizzack]

English teachers got a day off... Thank you, Jocko, for being a model patriot.

[@mightywind5888]

Hoping you're still behind the glass in case of war! Awesome perspective.

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts." William Shakespeare

[@country_club_leaders]

it's your responsibility to question, to challenge, to be a rebel. ....great stuff.

[@i4C4U]

Phenomenal podcast as usual.

[@joecamacho21]

Damn... Jocko, Never in my wildest dreams did I think Shakespeare was something I would be amazed by. You have extreme talent to explain things that are bizarre to an ignorant person like myself. Thanks man. Keep up the good work.

[@connordance5374]

Was Jocko just itching his back with a massive hunting knife?

[@stylin60es]

Connor Dance lol totally saw that. Immediately paused and scrolled down to see if anyone commented on it.

[@HomeshighlandPark]

If I knew jocko and listened to him; really listen. Man

[@celsojr950]

Amazing podcast, as always. Appreciate it a lot. Really.

[@gijoey5912]

Jocko could perform the musical, Cats, and it would still be badass.

[@kylermacintire4823]

It's be awesome if someone made a separate video of Jocko doing the St. Crispians speech

[@MattPeterson103]

Listened to this on Stitcher yesterday.... and came here today just to WATCH Jocko read Shakespeare.

[@bdecot]

I might actually enjoy a Shakespeare play if Jocko plays the lead role!

[@joshuagibson9852]

jocko, this is amazing stuff. I truly appreciate it

[@andrewkwekel3195]

This is the absolute best most inspiring podcast out there, keep it up.

[@Letsgofishin369]

Thanks for the little tips about joining!

[@ingridwright8701]

He just reads it, and hits it hard. Not caring about those around him, but reading as if he is there - on the battlefield. This right here, the breakdown of Shakespeare - Jocko - you could create a youtube channel on that alone! - and as a woman who loves and reads it, I have to say how great it is to see the positive comments from men.

[@tahink6]

Fucking awesome reading of the speech. Could we get a clip of just that portion posted?

[@davenportbarbell734]

Greatest thing I’ve ever listened to.......... EVER

[@zinowor]

the double snow-angel story was hilarious, especially the part where he was antagonizing Jocko good stuff

[@rozzer8290]

As always intense as fuck and I absolutely love this podcast

[@AndresLopez-zz2hz]

My personal favorite episode.

[@SeemaParsapour]

“Testicular fortitude” definitely will try to use that in a sentence. Thank you

[@izzojoseph2]

Crushed Shakespeare. Great read. I agree with your take completely.

[@JakeThomasCreative]

Thank you for doing this!

[@aureliusrusticus2320]

I don't know of Jocko will have the time to read this comment or not, but there's a timeless book he should incorporate into a or all of his podcasts: the very jewel of Vedic philosophy: The Bhagavad Gita. I always recommend the Juan Mascaro translation, because it's truest to the spirit of the original and it's the most poetic of all other translations. It's a concise little book that goes over the existential currents that drive us all, and it's about putting your duty before your ego. --- Another really good text worth including in this subject is the famous Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius's Meditations.

[@Windznite]

I recognize this podcast from years ago . Your version of Shakespeare compared too a trained actor of the theatre. Is as comparing George C Scott ( whom many know he was an actual Marine Corps Sgt.) portrraying General Patton. Imagine if, a very skilled actor portrayed Patton instead? The literal effect is incomparable.

[@rachelleonard9831]

Jesus ! this Guy is amazing ,

[@austinunterbrink9805]

Q&A is loaded with wisdom

[@austinunterbrink9805]

Best breakdown of Shakespeare I've ever heard

[@BatZie]

Jocko, you'll probably never read this but one of the best versions of Shakespeare was Fassbender as Macbeth. If anyone could get the emotion, he does.

[@clif.c.2906]

My goodness. You have to hear Jocko the navy seal interpret Henry 5. Jocko was an English major and understands literature in a way I have never heard expressed. Jocko should teach English courses like this one.

[@0num4]

Shakespeare understood BTF, before BTF was BTF.

Could jocko be more legendary... The dude fought side by side with the 506th of the 101st Thats a rendezvous with destiny.

Thank you

[@turboned]

Would love to hear Jocko explore Coriolanus

[@iggyspirit]

I think Jocko should read Egil Saga, it has some of the most amazing poetry and wording..

[@21devious]

Wow! that was Awesome!

There's a good one on Audible in the great courses section.

[@number1squib488]

GET SOME!

[@Omegaures]

42:00 no you are right! There are a number of mistakes classically trained actors make in interpreting shakespere. And while there may be a fundamental difference between expressive and portraying acting and it may not be expressively a mistake, some things start at accent and follow in general pronunciation, so even those famous actors may be interpreting the piece wrongfully.

[@samedinger886]

I had read somewhere that Sir Francis Bacon was Shakespeare

[@AngryOscillator]

The SBS, the Special Boat Service, amongst the best we Brits have to offer.... shame about the name! The SAS, that sounds cool - Special Air Service - but the SBS? Needs a re-brand haha

[@sterlthepearl1000]

Other theory's about Shakespeare is he was either an Alien or has some Alien DNA in him.

[@dogbuggy32]

I've heard of Salisbury...

[@muddycreeksportsman8574]

Jocko would scratch his back with a K- Bar. Improvise and execute .

Jocko please read Miyamoto Musashi, i liked the Sun Tzu podcast you did on 'The Art of War'. how about the "Book of five Rings" you can sign me up for that.

That speech was epic, just need to work on the old English accent now 🤣

[@AngryOscillator]

There is so much bro science in these early episodes 😂 Its true, squatting heavy does increase testosterone... transiently. It takes it from some time later though, same with the HGH and not eating after a work out. And the anabolic window is rubbish (besides maybe insulin sensitivity, but protein? Nope.) You know what DOES boost testosterone? Good sleep, good food and testosterone. P.S. Don't break the law people, move to Canada or other parts of the civilized world, like Mexico. Also, TRT

[@luluschannel9862]

How spotify paid Joe Rogan Audible needs to pay Jocko to be the narrator of all these books because the people they have are 💩 and he makes them seem amazing and before you tell me just read it myself believe me I try but my ADHD won't let me I'll read a few pages and forget everything and I'll re-read and the cycle just repeats over and over audible is my only option to read

[@lisabyars4522]

It was horrifying. No more Shakespeare. Please Lord. :)

[@lisabyars4522]

But I love ya'll! Just not ur buddy Shakespeare

[@seancronin4010]

Jocko, are you sure you're not an intellectual? Really sure?

[@SoCalFJ]

Ok.. the drama here in this podcast is over the top. Jocko was awesome on Joe Rogan so I tracked him down as he said he was starting a podcast, and I don't recall all this odd heavy drama speak like he is an overly serious character from the 300 movie, but I could only take it for a few minutes and had to bail. Is this normal for him in his podcasts?

[@SoCalFJ]

+Aaron Zelinskas The knowledge and story telling is what I came back for - which I first heard on Rogan. I understand he is reading here, but I skipped through a few other podcasts and got kind of a similar over the top drama feel for the piece I scanned. IDK, maybe I will go back to #1 and give it a listen. I know he is hard, tough, serious about his beliefs, skilled, mean, and I can get down with all of that. But the 300 style of talking and emphasis.... waaay too much for me.

[@SoCalFJ]

+ashley janit Oh sorry... I didn't know that simply "reading" Shakespeare in 2016 on a podcast mandated that you have to act like you are really a drama heavy Shakespearian actor. My bad. Next time I read some Shakespeare at my house, I will add in some over the top bravado, growling speak and drama like I am really an actor.

[@Yoshiling]

+SoCalFJ It's cool if you don't like his style. It's not a constant thing, but he does tend to do his podcasts like he's giving a speech; his thoughts are very structured and he has notes and an outline of what he's talking about (a lot different than how Joe does the JRE). Although, there are plenty of other times when his voice lightens up and he's not in intense-speaker-mode. He jokes around quite a bit and is fun to listen to.
