Bullshit the world's record scuba dive is 336 ft this old man shouldn't spread his tall tails on KZbin only the bars where he clearly is used to

[@the_fat_electrician]

Really? Because if you google it, the world record for single breath freediving (no tank or air line) is 702ft, and the scuba record is 1090ft. People can literally take a deep breath and dive deeper than what you think the world scuba record is. So who's spreading misinformation?

Up until the recent video game that came out and Henry caville 95% of 40k fans where dudes 30+.

Active Navy Diver here, I love hearing from an old timer from my community. If he’s ever invited on again you could benefit from a diving consultant to help ask some questions that would get some really good stories out of him. One of the problems we have is our stories are so hard for the general public to grasp the gravity of so we hold them close to our chest. A couple targeted questions about some of the jobs he did in the water, pranks he pulled on other sailors or memorable parts of training could go a long way

Got to enjoy this episode from a unique perspective- I'm in my 50's, been in the Bar Service Industry for 25+ years & out of the Army for 30+. Most of my contemporaries were fellow Irish bartenders who were between 12-17 years younger than me. I'd wonder why they'd seek my perspective on things or wanted to rehear a certain tale I'd told over a few whiskeys on certain occasions. It didn't bother me- quite the contrary- but I never looked at these times like they were 'Teachable Moments' or 'Words of Sacred Wisdom'. A few of the guys went into the service or worked for local city/state government while I contentedly stayed behind the bar (my primary love). I got to play 'Pappa-Bear' when the bar & waitstaff went out drinking, & to act as the voice of reason & Authority for the rowdier St. Patty's Day Parties. My lil' brother (also a vet, out for 25 years) brought to my attention how much he appreciated my words of advice before he left for basic training (we BOTH went to Leonard Wood). "Bro, you give friends & family the advice they need, not the sugar coated B.S. we ALL got from our recruiters." I liked that answer. Seems my brother got hit with a Wisdom Stick while my back was turned. I LOVED hearing Grnpa mentioning the 'Gaming by Mail' he did in the 70's. I heard about this but thought someone was just pulling my leg. Your guests & Hosts make 'Unsubscribe' must-see viewing for Veterans, Smart Folks, & viewers who just enjoy being entertained.

[@maxgehtdnixan4913]

My grandfather was on the Bismarck for a large part of its lifetime as a vessel. It shared a crew rotation with the Prinz Eugen, which is the only reason I exist, since they swapped crews a week prior and he was the Eugen's navigator for the battle where the Bismarck sank. He didn't like talking about it much, but he did say two things about the whole thing. One being that the moment the Bismarck sank, he knew the war was over and that the biggest tragedy about the whole thing was that aside from the political officers to keep the crews in line, nobody had an axe to grind for the regime. Everybody was just trying to get through the whole ordeal alive in the end. But when you think about stuff like that, where but for a coin toss a few generations ago, you wouldn't even be around... Man, I was entertained and I had to think during this, too. Really good podcast, guys.

Damn. I just did a mini deep dive on the Bismarck reading your comment. I always thought most of the crew survived, though they suffered heavy casualties.

Lol Grampa Gaming reminds me of my wife's grandfather. Man was a green Beret in Vietnam. Lol super quiet and to himself, but when you get to cutting up he has some great one liners. Thank you guys so much for having him on the show.

[@spurlock2679]

Love how everyone was very absorbed into what Gramps had to say. They were completely focusing on the wisdom in flesh sitting next to them. Amazing podcast!

New boots and an unsub podcast. Today’s a good day. Also, nobody commenting on the fact that Nick just shotgunned his bush light is basically the TLDR of this friend group.

[@flybygaming9678]

What kind of boots

With the Bismarck and ship discussion, I feel like this is the perfect place to bring up my idea that Nick should make a video on the Prinz Eugen, one of my favorite ships She was with the Bismarck, and escaped, later lost her entire stern and survived, she made the Channel Dash past the British with no damage, survived all of WWII, and then afterwards, she survived TWO NUCLEAR BOMBS and then still was sailing for another FIVE MONTHS and only sank when a small leak couldn't be repaired because she was radioactive

Nick should do a whole series on all the different battleship! I live 10mins from USS New Jersey. I never knew until today that it deleted an island.

[@Braindamagedpotato]

More boats in general , the USN , UK and Commonwealth navies have some crazy stories

I worked with a buddy that was at the battle of kamdesh, COP Keating, Bravo Troop 3-61 Calvary/4th infantry. Told me a little about it, had a RPG hit right next to him and throw him in the air, messed up is back and a few other things, fortunately no major injuries or loss of limb. Solid dude. Shout out to Kellen!

[@cow_powah]

100% not the guest I would ever expect to see (even though I knew it was coming) but he so fit in. After like 15 minutes he was very in tune with all of you. Too fucking funny.

[@sacredham9782]

I gotta agree with Nick, Rising Sun was one of the peak MoH games they came out with. The cinematic of gunning on that PT boat going between the exploding battleships legit had me enraged. I was actually angry and was shooting zeros down with a vengeance. - getting that kind of emotion out of a 10 year old is truly an accomplishment.

[@steves578]

yea, Rising sun was one of my favorite games man

[@NaraClanGaming]

Medal of honor Frontline will always remain my favorite, followed strongly by European assault and rising Sun 🤙🤙🤙

[@endless3cho]

10? Huh, that's crazy lol. Probably have some serious memories from that though.

[@sacredham9782]

@@endless3cho yeah I've been gaming most of my life lol

[@matthewgill8332]

If you get a chance try out pacific assault. It feels like a more complete version of RS with a better story, but has some similar mission involving Pearl Harbour as act 1

[@brandenwilliams7249]

The guest i didn't know i wanted! how did i miss this?! One of the best podcasts.

[@novemberoscar98]

Oh hell yeah. Saturday morning cartoons turned to Saturday Morning Unsub!!

Already know that this is gonna be a banger. Hell yeah grandpa.

[@deniszpazmany585]

Gramps a real OG! He knows Joint Operations! I loved that game game more then the very first Battlefield game. Gramps is a BADASS! Much RESPECT!

Only found this pod cos of Ryan, but binged through a fair few over the last couple of days, this one so far has been the best.

[@souldoubt878]

Thank you all for everything you guys do as a fellow vet definitely helped me through rough times. Much love and respect.

[@sojo1660]

It truly reminds me of listening to my grandfather telling stories of his past war experiences.... and puts a huge smile on my face.😂

[@sithy6]

This is, without a single doubt, the best podcast I've ever seen. Been watching y'all for a hot minute now and this one takes the cake🖤🖤🖤

[@slyoldowl]

Dude is the coolest old man. Served his country, plays video games, paints minis. I want to nerd with him.

[@53cards92]

Thanks, guys. I’ve been up all night, stressing over my cat coming home heavily wounded. Feels like I finally snapped out of worried parent mode and had a laugh. This podcast is a great stress reliever

[@ItsGurti]

I wanna be in the military soon, and I could listen to these veterans talk for hours and hours, he's such an interesting guy! Thanks for this podcast guys!

[@mulishax7424]

No disrespect to the other guests in the past. Gramps is By far my favorite so far.

[@shino933]

My boy FE calling out rising sun! Still my fav medal of honor to date. The pearl harbor segment was awesome, and the ending segment after tanaka was an unlocked memory!

[@coreyortiz7149]

Thanks!
