Justin is a great guy, I hope he has more dialogue and screen time in S7.

Awesome great to see a local Hoosier on the podcast and Indiana LEO 😊

[@RamJamOverland]

Awesome episode! Definitely enjoyed it and looking forward to the next book and and season 2 of the terminal list! Sad to see that the last season of seal team is coming

[@Jimijaz]

Great show. Jack, it’s a tradition here in my area but when someone gifts a knife, you have to pay them something so you don’t sever the friendship. FWIW, I use buffalo nickels.

[@jaredchandler4491]

Good guy- did a job with him before ST hit big- solid guy🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@MotivationToDoMore]

both excellent guys. great episode.

[@GK-nd9fs]

How did I miss your book signing in New Jersey? I must’ve been asleep at the helm.

[@revbush]

Great show. Just wish, just wish I could clearly understand the guests speech. Needs a little volume in his mic.

[@jodybcasey141]

I see your THUNDER RANCH HAT!!!

[@raptorranch9594]

He picks his nose 😂😂😂

[@chadhildreth4834]

Hook him up with ritland,would be good conversation

[@raptorranch9594]

Im 64 lady n i have have a. Rhodesian ridgeback, great protector 😅

[@jonrico7937]

The guest states "you know how many dirty cops and military there are?" This comes from someone who backed out of the military and never attended his police academy. He backed out of the 18X program then why didnt he go 11B. He never attended his police academy...is the PD nuts in issuing him a firearm? Sorry Jack, I love your work but and I don't want to poke holes in your guest but his aforementioned statement regarding leos and military disrespected us all. Jack, you did a great job maintaining composure. Im a retired 27 year fed LEO and retied 30 year Army reserve.

[@G.G.999]

As a person who has experience....dirty cops and dirty military definitely exists. That's why most great people get out early before retirement. Justin is clearly a narcissist and that why he was told he would not be good in the military field he wanted, because it takes sacrifice and teamwork. Narcissists get people killed, because they're only capable of staying focused on their own agenda.

Idc what anyone says. SEAL team is a solid show.

Five Fucking Stars. Awesome show, awesome guest.

A série lista terminal é top 👊✌️ Conheci a série através de um canal de sobrevivêncialismo aqui no Brasil ✌️

[@jasonperdue235]

Jack is great but the guests seems like he might embellish a bit. Speaks the language but seems like a name dropper.

[@rustyshackleford4181]

Jake Swanson!!

[@raptorranch9594]

His name is rhino

[@internet_internet]

Doesn’t look quite right without the beard and longer curly hair.

[@shivangibhardwaj3051]

Jack looking like he's judging his guest the first 30 mins ..haha.NGL..guest seemed somewhat annoying.

[@jasonperdue235]

He talks the language but seems to be a bit of a poser. Good interview by Jack but the guest seems to like the “idea” of being one of the guys.

[@emmanuelawosusi2365]

No shit he is a police officer 👮

[@dr2759]

@@emmanuelawosusi2365 A PT police officer. NOT THE SAME, not even close. All full timers know this.

[@Bierce88]

This is what I don't understand about Seal Team with a cast like that with people who have actually seen and done stuff would let CBS make that show so woke Clay's girlfriend was the most annoying character ever.
