1:01:00: I'm Vietnamese Montagnard and was born towards the end of the war in Vietnam. My father helped out the SpecOp forces during this time. I ended up losing my family after our village got wiped out in the conflict, and was adopted, and am living now in New Zealand. I was cracking up when you were talking earlier about your childhood, 19:30: as this was practically exactly the same as my childhood at that age. I was heavily into recon work, and those early experiences really helped.

[@jayabramson6702]

Johnny Eagle guns rocked. M14, 1911’s, old west guns. Man I hadn’t thought of them in a long time!

[@RubiconV]

Socks: you guys need to check out Darn Tough socks from Vermont and MADE in Vermont. Lifetime warranty!!! Yup. A lot of thru hikers wear them. I’ve got 8 pairs. The best. PS: thanks for the awesome books Jack and I loved the class I took with Mike in WA state last year.

[@AP-cm3kb]

Check out farm to feet next, like both.

[@RagnarLothbrok2222]

Two solid men here 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼🇺🇸

[@jacobkonkel6793]

I always love the movie and media references. I'm a 90's kid and grew up hybrid with outdoor play and video games. 80's kids were certainly the last generation that was 100% outdoor play. Need to revive that.

[@keirajane9380]

Love the hat ... it's not an Akubra but nobody is perfect 😆🇦🇺

[@scotts.3636]

I'm 53, I remember being in high school, and reading C.B. Colby books. Who else remembers those?

Jack is one of the greatest military fiction writers since Tom Clancy

Agreed. Right up there with Vince Flynn and Brad Thor. I don't think I could pick one

[@ChristopherJohnston]

Watching these guys talk about growing up in the 80s was so awesome. I loved The Fall Guy and Airwolf, and I also played in the woods and had things like inert grenades when I was a kid. I remember working in a dead-end job when Operation Desert Shield and the following Desert Storm launched. I had just gotten into college and thought about dropping out and joining the military. It is one of the great regrets of my life that I did not.

[@x0j]

hell yeah u coulda ended up as hamburger in a desert halfway across the world, fighting for Israel. Probably beats your boring ass life today of showing diverse students how to apply for federal aid with videos.

[@danielcadwell9812]

How old are these guys? Never mind I looked it up Jack Carr's 47 and the other guy is 43. I'd bet the younger guy doesn't remember much of the eighties.

The Guy you were talking about at the start of this podcast, is Stephen K. Hayes from the ninja boom in the 1980s, he would be great to have on the podcast

[@jt.8144]

Life in the 80's. Truly Grateful growing up as a kid.

[@rossriley2719]

I see Mike Glover, I click.

[@armyfazer1410]

I was born in 1970. I love the flash back on the memories. I have a battery operated .30 cal on a bipod. I used to set it up in the ditch and defend my home with it! And I hadn't thought about Mack Bolan and the Phoenix Force books in years!

[@timberdrifter8225]

Between the 10 and 25 minutes mark I was laughing so hard because I did all that same stuff. I even had a battery powered minni gun. The barrels actually spun and made shooting sounds. I wanted to be sf but have a genetic heart condition that disqualified me before I even got started. So I paid for my training over a decade since the government wouldn't have me. Guess you could call me home guard. Anyway I enjoy listening to you fellas discuss things

[@notownsavage2024]

I did all the same stuff too lol

[@2saxey808]

I’m not sure Jack or Mike will see this, but I need to thank both of you. You keep me motivated and create content that I love. You both inspire me and give me a drive to be better. I’m this episode you talk about missing out and I did lol. I left USAF SERE and Special Tactics. I regret it every day. Again thank you both so much and know you will always have a huge market.

[@dandiesa5323]

The Fall Guy! Hell yea! I remember those shows! 47 here, grew up in 80's & 90's.. Great stuff fella's!

[@AngryPilot64]

You two are the only ones I make a point to watch. Not that others are not good at what they have to teach and say. Y’all are just the best at keeping my attention

[@brewsfoodtravel9761]

Thanks gents, great conversation. Brought back a ton of memories from my childhood of the 70’s. FYI Point 6 is out of Steamboat CO. I was an ambassador for a year. Excellent stuff!

[@jeffmertens9790]

Glover and Carr.....unbelievable perception and forethought. This country needs more of them times ten!

[@aw8one]

Gosh dang that truck was bad ass. For what ever reason I thought I remember it being a Bronco.

[@graywind4326]

In the Army in the mid70’s I used to lay in my bunk and read the Mac Bolan books. Lol

[@strykerclay9597]

I love that you mentioned the old Mack Bolan books, I still read some of those today when I get a chance

[@chris2956]

I read a bunch of them when I was a kid. Fun times.

[@stevehope4572]

Same

[@kevinong1306]

Mack Bolan. Able Team. Phoenix Force. What fond memories!

[@ChiefQ83]

This podcast literally has touched on every single issue I believe is in important in today's society as an American. We all need to start being more involved with the future of our nation.

[@brantonioj1098]

I support everything Mike Glover. LFG

[@Andrew85or]

In the early 90's I brought a diffused pineapple grenade to 4th grade show-and- tell. Man was she pissed and I had to see the principle but he was just like, "boys will be boys," and just held it till the end of the day so my parents could pick it up. Something like that would make the world news with SWAT teams, bomb squads, and being sent to juvenile detention etc. etc.

[@leogonzalez6599]

Wow! I never thought I would hear of another kid making that with a model rocket! I wouldn't trade my childhood for anything! Good memories!

[@Pearljr77]

Blue Thunder, Dukes of Hazzard, Air Wolf , Fall Guy … all bad ass!

[@bryanmcdermott4204]

Mike is wearing shoes so you know it's a momentous occasion...or cold. Thanks for this collaboration. And yes, I miss buying caps at K-Mart. As for socks, there are a couple of manufacturers in NC who do stuff for team sports. Whether they're set up for heavy duty stuff I don't know.

[@scottsherman5262]

I remember when I was a kid we played with bags of broken glass & flame throwers...& those of us who survived are mostly OK....well, I mean most of us aren't OK. I'm realizing now that not everything we did was better than what's happening today.

[@chris2956]

Back in the day Kmart had a gun counter.

[@kage239]

Do you know what shoes he is wearing?

[@ttropp]

What a great podcast - as a kid of the 70’s and 80’s this one was very relatable!! Love the “analog” years 🙌

[@SkuseyBoy]

Rest in peace Ken Block! its a terrible start to the year. by the sound of the mention near the end of the podcast, this was recorded before his death on 2nd Jan. its a real damn shame and robbed the world of an icon. its a great episode overall though could listen to you guys talk for hours and hours

[@GreybeardTheYoung]

People who know leadership... Feels good. Great morale boost!!!! I've always enjoyed these type podcasts!

[@charlesmullins3238]

We’d take the paper roll caps across our fingers and strike em with our thumbnail…footboard was burnt from same thing…still have my compact beretta that’s identical shot strips…2 of the best right here…thanks men.

[@davefig5774]

Success is the sum of small efforts done daily...nuff said. Stay strong and stay blessed brother

[@glenncapone]

Thoroughly enjoyed the conversation with you two, so interesting to hear personal stories. It was nice of you guys to hear you giving props to Ken Block knowing this was recorded before the tragedy that took him away from us. So sad.

[@nowherespecial6780]

Man you guys are bringing me back to the 80s.Having Flash backs. now I wanna go watch air wolf with my son lol

[@5150gtrman]

Good to see Mike wearing shoes!

[@hardtopindown7781]

I sort of lost contact with this podcast, life, yt algorithms. Mr. Carr, despite what your detractors mutter, you are NOT 'just another SEAL , who writes books.' Thank you for this. As for your guest, the most complete warrior/ soldier I've encountered on these military themed shows. Uncommon...

[@ilike9s]

Memorial Day was a great movie about a grandpa foot locker from WW2 @1:18:26

[@drivejp]

Darn Tough socks fellas. Made in VT.

[@pontiacwolf]

I agree with you guys talking about buying products in America. I also agree that I just like when people try to shame you for not buying American. Especially when most of the American companies get their parts from overseas. So basically, it is OK for them to keep their overhead in check. But when it comes to you saving money so that you can have a better budget to provide for you and your family. It’s not OK. I also try to make sure the things that I buy is American. but when you live on a budget. Sometimes things don’t work out that way. Both of you, keep up the good work. Keep putting out content that is healthy and entertaining for anyone at any age.

[@tommyflex7487]

These in-person, face to face pods are my favourite. You and Mike are both great to listen to. Cheers lads, hope to see more of this style going forward!

[@jaredchandler4491]

Great Ep- love the 80’s TV, Movie, Book stuff--we all clearly grew up differently than today’s youth-but there is hope and I see it everyday. My son has been training hard for 18X and his training buddy is going Option 40 in July. My former junior 18B and I have been training them to standard from our day, so they will be hard as woodpecker lips compared to their peers🇺🇸🤙🏼

[@ericcorbett3919]

At the University of Montana they had a course called Soldiers Story Retold. It was a 3 hour a week talk with combat veterans. It ranged from WW2 vets to Desert Storm, even a German POW who was sent to Montana to be held. It was a great influence in my ideas of what a veteran is.

[@keirajane9380]

Wow I wish I got to see and hear these stories

[@yrdGBA]

I am restoring a Fall Guy truck for a friend of mine right now, I will send some pics when its done. #I miss the 80s!

The nostalgia in the first 20mins is awesome

My Dad got me a Thompson machine gun with a drum mag.He got it at Chicagos Last Liquor store on the Southside near Indiana border.I also have an autugraphed copy of the First issue Soldier Of Fortune,by Robert K Brown.

[@staceytoepfert7684]

Back in the 70’s and 80’s were the best ever. TV shows were better back then. I think that’s why I became a Marine

[@timbroderick4454]

Love the Delta Force bike conversation. Plus all the 80s stuff. A friend and I were talking about our GI Joe collections on New Years Eve. Awesome! 👍

[@snakeman48]

Great podcast. I met Mike FTF at the Sig Sauer Camp Legion last year in August. So down to earth person who did so much in defense of our country. I was so impressed I gave him one of my challenge coins I had made up from my meager time in the Army. As for audio books. It's the only was I can do a book. If I try to physically read one, it would take for ever. I would read several pages, fall asleep, then wake up and do it again. It's just me and not the author or subject matter.

[@ky1699]

Just brilliant. Simple meets advanced. Brilliant. These are damn good men.

[@b3r3n12]

Always good to see glover..cant wait for both yall books

[@jt.8144]

11:03 FACTS.

[@edwinclayton1765]

The PETER PRINCIPLE... people ascending to levels, one step above their best levels of competence. Our sytemic methods of promotion continue to promote people to levels beyong their abilities. The phenomenom needs to be known, and anticipated. Every level needs to be qualified and tested. The nation deserves as much.

[@jhoot3482]

I’m pretty sure the toy gun Jack is thinking of was replica broom handle mauser. Buddy had one as a kid and it came with the detachable stock.

[@tygre7]

I had a Man from UNCLE P38 with all the attachments -- shoulder stock, scope, suppressor, extended magazine. Toys kicked ass in those days.

[@jasonolivar2518]

Airwolf was an awesome show

[@user-hs8pn4xb5v]

You talked about making your pipe bomb, I remember scraping match heads as a kid. Then putting them between two huge bolts held together with a nut, took a couple of crescent wrenches and tightened it up as tight as I could get it. Then threw it. Spectacular results, our neighbors large living room window was destroyed. Took a good ass whipping over that, As I should have.

[@robertmccready5874]

Good shit you crazy bastard growing up in the 80’s was great even in the 90’s they were going all out over toy guns I always say if cops saw you walking around with the toy guns we used to have they would kill you I’d go back in a heartbeat it sounds like we would’ve been good friends

Talking about the 80s, I bought a couple Daisy brand toy AK-47s and Baretta 9mm guns with realistic colors and muzzle reports on trigger pull. Ran around the block, in neighbors yards like I owned the block and "shooting" at my friends, playing "guns" daily. Later, as i got a little older buying Daisy pump action bb guns shaped like VN M16s still roaming the block. What a time lol

Im a marine corps 3 rd force recon marine from vietnam 67-69. Its amazing how professional and well equiped and armoured the current special forces military is. We had a big helmet we never wore a flak jacket that didnt work and at first an m14 and later anew m16 that at first sucked. No armour lol bare arms and chest with an open flak jacket and a jungle hat. They would drop 4 or 6 of us at a time who knows where and have us observeand trynot to engage.
