I'm loving how Jocko has actually read the book and is referencing it throughout the podcast. A welcome change to the masses of podcasters who ask basic questions for the entire interview. 😊🙏💪
Jocko has his shit together. You won't be a seal team commander if you ain't got it together
Fuckin a. Well said.
Its what he’s done since podcast 1

As an American it’s fun to see some of our brothers across the pond in special forces and see some of their stories ! I’m always down to learn more about our allies elite !
Check out Chris thrall podcast
@Lee Parry I’d love to see Ant Middleton on with Jocko!
check out andy mcnab 👍🏻
We had Dean on our podcast and we were blown away by his stories. Along with Dean we have had on Mark Divine who is also an ex seal along with many other world class guests. kzhead.info?search_query=dean+stott+my+home+vitality
@@evan_a_morris I find ant hard to listen to, he glorifies himself a little too much.
As a British soldier this was an absolutely amazing podcast from some legends
Hate to sound American but thank you for your service lad!
@@Cxesar I wouldn't hate to sound American hahah I appreciate you man
Yeah
British soldiers. Best in the world. The American boys always love how professional we are compared to their military
I met a couple British Frogmen in Kandahar, they are no fucking joke. Funny as hell I will say. Nice but terrifying! Mad respect from across the pond!
As a proud English Man its nice to hear you speak so well of the UK forces .If possible could we have some more .
Looks and sounds like Mathew McConaughey. Outstanding podcast!
@@donsremodeling Who does?
@@chrisg9615 ,.l
Yeah but Its the same in Every nation people carry their flag with pride obviously.
The American's produce disastrously bad soldiers. 4-1 they may come off better in a firefight. Or a war.
Yes!! From your UK audience, a big thank you. More SF British guests whenever possible. Keep up the great show Jocko Echo good morning.
From the US I would love to hear more from the UK soldiers
And marines
Agreed!
🏴🏴🏴
Canadians too. There is a guy 'army sgt major', aka, Turner... I hope they talk to him. We've had some dudes that have been around and walked the line.
'Bollocks' - brilliant, never thought I'd hear Jocko say that!
Odd hearing an American say bollocks
Bollocks doesn't flow right off of the American tongue
Same when he said bloody Hell
Bloody knackered

They tell really good ghost stories around the camp fire. How'd you think? 😊

Mark Billingham would be another good British solider to have on here. SAS and has lived a mad life apparently!
His book 'the hard way'is a brilliant read 👍
@@DiggyDan92 thanks for recommendation, will definitely get round to reading it!
I reckon Simon Mann would be an interesting one to watch too
Yea after his service billy went into celebrity protection after that sas who dares wins.
Dont know about anyone else but i love the whole sniper thing and having Craig Harrison on with his book would also be amazing
It'd be cool to interview ex-SAS Christian Craighead and his experiences with the Nairobi siege being one of them
That’d be amazing. Craighead went in when no one, not even SEALs, would go. That’s true bravery.
SAS are amazing , in desert 🏜 , cockshell heroes, truly hard men , after this SBS were quite , and never got hardly any Ops , but after 91 everyone is ONE ☝️, The best by a mile
@@armhelc7501 dude I think if any seal was there they would’ve done the same thing
That would be awesome. I second that

As an American, the only group who loves the UK forces more, is the UK! I think we're very lucky to be so close. Nothing but love and respect in my heart for them.
People assume the seal teams are the be all and end all of special forces our sf can match the states likewise I too am glad America has our backs
@mdr 138 i mean i wouldn't say more capable than the American troops but we're pretty close. They have much more experience at this point than any other unit's. Especially their 2 main units(Devgru and Delta) mate
Mmmm. You obviously haven't spoken to any Aussies then.
@@toddhellyar4167 gotta say,all these boys got serious heart. Warriors.
@mdr 138 I don’t agree with that but you’re entitled to your opinion mate
Amazing to finally see a British SF guy on this great podcast 🇬🇧🙌🏻🇺🇸
Why?..
@@highwired1921 Because it gives an insight into other countries military and how they operate and also not to mention this guy is a badass!

For sure that caught my attention as well.
"BULLURKS"
Legit mad lad.
I quite enjoyed “bloody” 😀

His father was a smart man. He knew exactly what to say to his teen boy
Also he respected his dads advice
Get Nimsdai Purja on your show! He too is former-SBS but also a holder of several world records in mountaineering!
As an American I obviously love our military folks but the British are also amazing. Great that we are such close allies
I love the SAS and SBS history, much love to the friends over the pond.
Back at you🤙
SBS is such a stupid name though. The SAS, yeah, that sounds sweet. The SBS? Come on lol (I am a Brit btw)
@@AngryOscillator You don’t need a cool name to get the mission done, and I doubt they care
@@AngryOscillator It's not like choosing a gamertag you muppet
@@AngryOscillator I actually totally disagree. I think SBS sounds great. I also live the simplicity of it. It's what it says on the tin.
It's amazing some of the missions and stuff he was doing was "just" in 3 commando brigade. The Royal marines, paras etc are what many would call SF in some countries. Elite
It's like the grey area because they can work with both regular and special units
Well.. in case you haven't heard they are bringing out a new spec ops force in the British Army I think they are going to be rangers... and yet they're cutting the numbers down haha
@@guydelusignan4272 Yup.
@@homosapien4833 Yeah but I think they're trying to stop wasting money. I know after a long stint of quite a.. spend happy / debt happy government from 97 to 2010 I think, they got their fiscal stuff sorted by 2019. So they're trying to rearrange things to be more surgical. Which makes some sense in a smallish country during a global depression.
@@homosapien4833 nah. It's a "special operation" unit... Not special forces. Very deliberate wording. They will simply be a unconventional warfare unit since we dont have one. They are being sourced from the regular army units, so they are not going to be elite level soldiers suddenly. Highly doubt they will have to do anything close to as hard as p- company or commando course.
I was a Fusilier and I did 56 days Colchester glasshouse. This guy makes me proud to be British.
Hearing you say "BOLLOCKS" was glorious Mr Willink, cheers for another fantastic Podcast.
This guy is one of the only SB guys I've ever come across that is not just stone cold. The SB guys I've worked with are a different breed. I'm astonished he was so candid.
Are you talking about guys who were operational; or were you having a beer?
@@63Baggies I worked on an MOD facility they were based out of as a commercial diver and went for a beer with them a few times. I've met quite a few SB guys over the years. Huge respect for them, but they tend to be pretty scary guys. Edit: Some of the stuff they do is terrifying for any average Joe. It takes a special kind of person.
I want jocko to do audio books. I could listen to willink read military books all day , such a perfect mix of dramatic/melotone voice👏
Or childrens books
@@jl8485 *All* the books
100pc agreed bro
@@jl8485 I was just going to say that you stole my line
@@jl8485 There needs to be a podcast of Jocko reading children's books.
My dad was Royal Marine commando and SAS, it's his funeral today. I grew up listening to these stories I only wish I'd written them down.
Glad to see a Brit be on here. Hope to see more of this👍👍🇬🇧🇺🇸
Loved the humble understatement of this interview. To just skip over a career in the SBS for the operational security of those serving currently. Where others may have told tall tales. To excel at everything you have done and keep powering on. To lose a life that you love and just create a new one. To fight the Army and win. To sit with prime ministers and princes after doing a battalions worth of exfil. To then go on and create a challenge that is so daunting, only to move goalposts continually...and still succeed. Great interview.
Damn makes me feel like I've accomplished absolutely nothing while also inspiring me to do everything
The idea that anything he would say would harm the operational security of active SBS guys is pure fiction. It's never happened. He simply doesnt want to get attacked and shunned by the community. If you're not going to talk about it, when it's the reason why you have a seat at the table, you shouldn't even be going on podcasts.
@@TonioD49 not really. He doesn’t want the SBS to become the new DEVGRU, but he still has valuable insights. Saying that he was apart of the SBS and talking about what he did there are very different things. It validates much of what he says and claims, while not revealing too much.
I wish my grandmother was still around to hear this - her father served and she was very proud of him
It’s a long shot but there’s a old school SAS vet called Pete winner or ‘soldier I’. He served in Oman, the battle of mirbat, Northern Ireland, falklands, one of the troopers that stormed the Iranian embassy in London. The guys got story’s for days
The Bristish and American armed forces have alot of respect for each other it seems like and as an American myself I am proud of that fact.
As are we🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
@@jamesfleming2909 same
My uncle was 29 commando he often joked about calling america our least successful colony, it's the one thing we disagreed on.
Brothers in arms 🇬🇧🇺🇸
There are not enough former European SF guys to listen to so this is great
There’s actually a guy named Andy Stumpf ... he’s the former general of the German military and also a former Navy SEAL. Now he’s the CEO and founder of Black Rifle coffee company
@@BostonsF1nest are you good?
They are a different breed
@popo1310023 yes because andy killed Hitler.
@popo1310023 he was a general for the French foreign legion, the Japanese Air Force, and the Swedish special forces too. Most importantly tho- he’s the founder and CEO of Black Rifle coffee
Dean's Dad sounds like a Legend. Making sure his Son is pointed in the right direction.
This
Agreed, crazy nepotism tho right?
@@bigdawgs94 Thats how the world functions. Its not what ya know, its all about who ya know. Complaining about wont help.
Great interview, watched over 4 nights whilst going around the Highlands of Scotland. As an ex squad, it a breath of fresh air to not listen to multiple stories about Afghan and Iraq, nice to here about Kosovo and Dean’s stuff outside the military. 🇬🇧✊🏻🇺🇸
Thanks for all the support in mindset through this tough time for all of us jocko you have really helped sharpen my discipline and stay on track.
So happy to see UK SF guys on here. The origin of SF, the SAS. Get more on jocko, there is handful now that are public in the UK.
Definitely buying the book. This is one of the best guests yet in my opinion. Stott’s the real deal.
This ex-SBS guy makes me proud to be British, such a British sense of humour and attitude.
🏴🏴🏴
@@masterwindu1234 🇬🇧 *
This is probably why our guys make such good soldiers.
This man decides 99 day bike record ain’t enough and decides to KAYAK THE NILE TO THE OCEAN. Unreal. The crocs might just leave him alone out of RESPECT.
plus hippos
I do this everyday on top of climbing K2 it's nothing. I also have a kid in every country. It's nothing really
@@simpleman7516 😂😂😂
Former British para, Levison Wood, has walked the Nile.
He was accused of cheating during the bike ride and pocketing a large amount of the charity cash.
What a legend and a testament to our SF thank you for your service and charity work.
The greatest alliance in the history of the world, UK and USA. These are serious men, telling serious stories. Great stuff !!!
I've been waiting for an SAS / SBS on this podcast for a LONG time!
Jocko is loving the acute and matured authorship of this guy. They both recognize how informed a soldier of thier caliber is. This is something to watch.
Served my time in the British Army and also got to work with and in the US and this makes me proud as hell. Enjoyed every minute of this episode.
Glad you got home safe mate. The government treat or forces like shite... We have a a bloody great big Aircraft Carrier with no aircraft to launch from it and send soldiers to war zones without enough rounds to get them out of trouble.
Antony Stazika STAZ for short is a must, guy is bulletproof considered one of the fittest SBS soldiers ever
So perfect! Honest and no bull! No ego that is lovely to see from a special force man!
Probably your greatest podcast to date. Can we get a Australian on now?
Get Harry Moffit on. Ex SAS Australian, just released his new book!
Paul Kale would be a great interview I feel
@@nathanhadwiger2574 yes that would a awesome podcast might need a couple though 🤣
Yes for fucks sake jocko no aussie what a shame
Aussies are G2G
Don't often see Jocko in awe?!
I've seen Jocko in awe a few times on the show.He was in awe when he had on Roger Hayden,General James''Mook''Mukoyama ,John Stryker Meyer, Colonel Bill Reeder,Jordan Peterson and Rose Schindler(a survivor of the Holocaust).
@tim.... How often do you watch Jocko? Lol
@lazenby. tim The only person in (awe) is you. In fact i didn’t see Jocko in awe of anything with this guy.
He loves the Brits.
@@unitedstatesofamerica9948 That's for sure.I read that his wife was born in the United Kingdom.
I loved this, reffing the book, giving Dean time to talk, Jocko and Echo leading an amazing session. Bravo guys
My respect and admiration for Dean after hearing this podcast is immeasurable, insane. Bought his book straight away! Thanks
Great story, great interview....as a Brit it was nice to hear my homeland accent on your podcast. Cheers lads!
Please bring Devon Larratt on sometime. Canadian special forces and pro arm wrestler.
@@averykorbin1005 😂😂😂 “omg it actually works” stfu
Devon is a super cool, badass dude. It'd be awesome if he was on this podcast.
He's military? I thought he was just an arm wrestling guy....
Yeah DEVON💪🏻🤘🏻
YES!
This guy is awesome, and down to earth. Humble warrior! Thanks guys. Now on to my next mission.
Love how Jocko dissects each story to reflect the difficulty and paint the full picture. Top episode.
This is my favourite jocko podcast now! This guy seems to have alot of story to tell, i would sit with him drinking beers and jst listen to him. Sounds like a funny guy and makes me regret even more not joining the military when i was young
Drinking is or was a huge part of squaddie life. I'm 58 now and havent drunk for 2 years and can say hand on heart being in the army made it easier to become and alcoholic.
Especially if you were lucky enough to be posted to Germany with tax free booze, I literally cringe when I think back to how much we drank but was still ready for PT the following morning, mad times.
Sounds like you got it under control now. My mum died to the drink at Christmas (at 56) so I know how hard it is to quit. Must have taken huge strength to get those sober 2 years under your belt. Congrats dude, keep it up.
Do they have any program to address that in the military, or is still seen as manly to drink? My dad was a high functioning alcoholic in uniform, and it was the life that did it
@@pbrider5429 They do but it's not widely known about, there still is a big drinking culture in the Army and RN, it's almost frowned upon if you don't drink, I guess some things never change.
So true especially based in Germany
The gems of knowledge in this podcast are so applicable to everyday life.
Well done . Excellent interview mate. First time watching and it was good to see a British SF man on your show. Love the respect that can only come from one warrior to another. Lives that most people will never experience.
Thank you for a lifetime of service Mate!
Really great show, gents. Enjoyed hearing him talk about cycling and kayaking as a rebuilding / refocusing method.
Thanks Jocko and Echo. And thank you to Dean. Much respect
This has been one of my favourite podcasts ever. Not just of the Jocko channel but all-time of everything. Absolutely top drawer guys.
Class listen. Loved hearing it from the side of fellow English man. Nice one Jocko for him on the show.
This man is such a savage his story is Awsome and there’s such a mystique around the SAS it’s Awsome to have a legit Regiment guy telling his story about his time in. I’m an American soldier with 4 deployment ms under his beaky and I listened to his story 3 times still cause it was so Awsome.
He was SBS
@@opbeats5524 He was.. and you're right... but for the guy commenting... he's just so thrilled to hear the whole overall story that he doesn't necessarily separate the two, rather thinks of them and inadvertently groups them together as one in the same.
Thanks for brining this guy to us. Awesome individual and definitely on the reading list. Appreciate your work brother. Very enriching.
Bold statement but probably my favourite podcast ever. Some excellent stories and insights but so well pieced together by Jocko. Dean tells the stories so well! Mind blown. Will be telling all my friends about this
my grandad was a paratrooper stationed at aldershot. good to hear this
Another UK guy here, loved this one! What a great podcast this was
Watching the first 5-minutes on repeat! We need this book narrated by jocko!
I did several cycles as an instructor in a scared straight program during my time as an infantry instructor. I fuckin loved it, to think you could get just one kid back on track made it all worth it. Very good feeling.
I watched this whole thing. These are some of the most amazing human beings on the earth. Trained operators talking shop as if talking about stuff on tv. So much more interesting than anything on tv.
This was really interesting to listen to, all the way through no dull bits.
What an awesome guy. Tough, smart and a great sense of humor. Definitely the makings of a legend.
Great episode. Amazing to hear our fellow brothers across the pond perspective and experiences serving.
Bravo Zulu to Dean and Jocko outstanding chronology of the soldiers life in his journey and to the SAS His book seems worth reading Enjoyed this interview Chief usn
Great podcast, Dean names pulled me to it, I’m ex 59 squadron from many years ago, the man is a real gent. Going to watch some Jocko podcasts, real world talk,
Amazing intervju, thank you for over 3 hours that felt like 30 minutes. Loved this and will order the book today
What a superb guest. A huge example of just how professional UK SF is. Thoroughly interesting podcast. The only thing missing was a Stott v Jocko armrest.
Loved this episode. I listened to the whole thing in one go.
The jump injury story made me wince! Man I can't even imagine the pain. Made my eyes water!
What a boy. Loved every minute of this
First Jocko podcast I’ve listened to, this is fantastic. Love hearing this Brit talk
Would loved to have seen John Mcalees SAS legend on this podcast god rest his soul
Think they’d of needed subtitles for our American brothers 🙂
Hard as nails Scot. Some man John 👌🇬🇧
@@jonathanpadgett8258 very sad that his boy who was a royal marine also sadly has passed.

Thanks for your service Jocko and Dean. Mad respect. 🇺🇲 🇬🇧
Best podcast I've heard in ages, really enjoyed it 👏🏼
it deserves a lot of respect when someone in a position of power treats their subordinates with respect. So many people go on a power trip when given the opportunity.
Leif sure did change up his accent a bit since the last podcast lol
Spot on
I thought I was the only one who thought that Dean Stott looks like a bald Leif Babin! Ha! Ha!
@@JR-ju3kj separated at birth haha
haha
His accent is still there. It looks like he is trying to Suppress it.
Cheers, only 7 mins in and just bought the audiobook, Dean!
I experienced some of the same stuff growing up in the military. My dad was with the 101st Airborn Division. Spacificly the Air Assualt Division as a Ranger. When we went to Germany he transitioned to management as a Command Sergeant Major. All my friends at that point had dad's that were either Warrent Officers flying Cobra Helicopters, Scout Attack Choppers, HALO jumpers as Captains, Staff Sergeants or Sergeant Majors
The first three seasons of SAS: Who Dares Wins are actually really entertaining
Most of the staff are sbs. Check out "special boat service history" on insta.
@@cheekboy7247 , in his book Stottie says he was the first to be approached to do the Who Dates Wins show but turned it down because the MOD didn’t approve of it. (A bit OTT of the MOD to be honest), but Stottie still had close ties to the SBS charities, so didn’t want to be ostracised by the community.
@@kevindevlin7025 Think Lyndsey Bruce. Former 22 SAS was asked if he wanted the Chief instructor roll. But turned it down.
This guys story is unbelievable, more Brits please!
Starting the day off right. Jocko at 4a, with a side of coffee.
What an interesting and fascinating story, from an incredibly humble guy. Just brilliant.
After 3 hours of intense stories of relentlessness… Echo’s burning question at the end ‘how’s your leg?’ 😆
This is one of my favourite podcasts thanks for this one
Love how Jocko says the word "Bollocks" and "Knackered". They're such commonly used words over on this side of the pond that I never thought they could sound any other way. Love the podcast mate!
Bloody Hell! 😂
Bollocks is the only pure Anglo-Saxon word we still use. The meaning is the same as it was when Alf the Great was planning the formation of England 👌
I've been listening to this at the gym, it's motivating and humbling simultaneously
Simply Awesome. These are the guys who make us so proud to be British.
Dean is a typical squaddie with regards to his accent, its totally indistinguishable from any local dialect coz he has mixed with so many different accents for so long. My best mate was REME for 6 years and came back with a different accent every time
Holy shit Jocko reading that book is amazing,is there a whole podcast with him reading it?I would definitely pay for that.
Stotty was my DS on my commando course in 2002, great instructor, was extremely well respected on the course for the reasons he mentioned in this podcast (same course as Captain fox) you could just tell he was going to be moving on up higher IE Special forces. Great to see he gets the recognition now for what he has achieved
American here. I need MORE OF THIS!!! MORE BRITS, PLEASE.
