This younger generation needs more role models. Keep up the good work.

[@mattwilliams6769]

Evan you are killing it with guests, and how important the conversations are is insane.

[@bryanenglish3242]

BRCC has found every,"the most interesting man in the world" every guest is even more awesome than the one b4,so stoked all our military history is stored on the interwebs for future generations

[@Nick-cn2fb]

I went through a spinal cord injury and was told I wouldn’t walk. When he says opportunity is outcome and if you don’t try someone else has to prove it can be done and not me than who… goose bumps man absolutely rock solid mindset. What a stud

[@jakem4579]

Excellent conversation guys.

[@Thunder_6278]

Evan, Jays embodies the spirit of the Green Berets. Others before self. Glad he on our side...

[@blakebrown1241]

Jay is one of my new favorite people. I’m from the area of Missouri where Mizzou is located and I was stationed in Minot for 5 years, so I’m very familiar with that area and that university. That’s awesome!

[@larryapl]

This guy is the real deal. Most folks don't know what real "courage" is. It's been watered down and stretched way too much.

[@larryapl]

Audacity is an underrated trait.

[@bsellman6881]

Good guy, I like that he looks into all these doctrines, conceptualize hewould get my vote

[@lonnielegend85]

Your values are what we all need as a nation leader Jay. You would have my vote if you ran for president.

[@LeonardMichaelis]

What a nice conversation. 💪🇺🇸🙌🏻

[@brian2591]

Dude is definitely accountable.

[@davidbillings615]

Evan I hope you have watched the Tyler Grey podcast one the Sean Ryan podcast what he brought up especially on the part ll goes along with some of the things you discussed on this one. That you for digging into this❤

[@jasonrogers8754]

Really wish y'all would put a cover over that table so we wouldn't hear your hands hit it every 5 seconds. Other than that great podcast.

[@boulderingbadger6179]

😂 didnt notice it till I read this.

[@jasonrogers8754]

@@boulderingbadger6179 I don't see how anybody doesn't notice that every time they film a podcast sitting at that table.

[@michellesassouni2863]

Yea it drives me crazy too

[@bobkeller3600]

Great interview.

[@robertpifer8772]

Now I am down to every minute and 1/2

[@ninkd0311]

For the love of God, save the rip its , yep, we were all there

[@erbesessions]

Amazing episode, keep it coming guys. May I suggest coasters for your drinks the mic pick up the sound when you move it. I know it minor but helps with unwanted sounds in the show.

[@Tommyjamesdesign]

Dude! Sonny’s BBQ didn’t make the cut? LOL

[@Parastini]

Best response to "no offense" is "dude I was raised by wolves" 😂

[@stevenprather5833]

Great pod, and a great message.

[@taylorbowling640]

Woah how old is evan?? He said he joined the military in 95?? He does not look that old

[@boulderingbadger6179]

Oohrah.

[@teamperry757]

Great interview but goddamn an ad every three minutes is a bit much

[@OutBackWithMatt]

Great stuff

[@robertpifer8772]

Why am I getting commercials every 4 minutes

[@mikez6289]

[@internet_internet]

Dude was 5’9 240? Wow. I’m 6’3, and the heaviest I’ve been was 245 of weightlifter muscle, and that was hard enough to sustain. I could sprint really well at that weight back then, but distance running wasn’t really sustainable until I got down to 225. Could fluctuate on the scale 10lbs throughout a day just based on timing of eating, water intake, and exercise. I’ve been as light as 165 (cardio shark while on prescription amphetamines and not eating enough as a late teen). Have also spent periods in no particular order at 175, 180-185, 190-200, 200-215, and 215-225. Currently at 220, and would like to be 200-210. Favorite weight and body type I’ve ever been at: 185-195 in competitive SEAL PST shape. Felt indestructible, but hard to maintain that level.

Aldi's soft guys pontificate on their fuckin bacon

[@sickstringbender1364]

Please teach people how to use a mic properly. Or get some omni-directionals.

[@thomaskober9242]

My take away from this is Evan Hafer for President 2028! If the press can handle a Biden press conference, they should be fine with Instructor Earl at the podium!

[@JohnDoe-vf9yc]

Evan, my man, you have to listen to this hammered and tell me if it doesn’t sound like Jay Collins is the biggest stolen valor guy on the planet. Lol.
