I think its safe to say... Tilt is everyone's favorite guest

Jocko could bring John Stryker Meyer on 5 million times and it still wouldn’t get old

Tilt is such a badass he welcomed Jocko to his own podcast!!😂😂🤙

Tilt, 74 years old and STILL looking after his brothers, sharp as a tack, champion man.

For 20 years tilt had to keep these events secret. Dudes like him deserve at least a DSC. They earned it. Thanks Jocko for giving them a platform so their stories are finally heard. 🇺🇸

Paraphrasing, “Special Forces say teach a man to fish instead of giving him a fish. The SEALS just kill the fish.” Maybe the funniest thing Jocko ever said.

I listen to these repeatedly as I drive across our country. THANK YOU ALL

Would literally pay double retail for jocko/ tilt to narrate all of these stories. Tilt is the best

Phone rings deep in the Laotian jungle: 'Hello, 5th special forces group how may we help you?'

I watch this podcast regularly to constantly remind myself how to take responsibility for my life and to feel strengthened by that. Today is a hard day. Today my dad told me my uncle is dying of pancreatic cancer complications. We can’t even go to the hospital to say goodbye because of this virus. I am very close to him and he’s been a mentor of sorts in my life. He’s an engineer who has made a big impact on many people’s lives. My family thinks the odds are very grim, only my cousin, his son, is holding on to hope. This is very tough and I just felt the need to write about it. It’s hard to think we may not be able to see him if he passes away.

Podcasts with John Stryker Meyer is a solid business model! His experiences are just incredible. We need Lynn Black next. That's got to happen.

It's a sin to be late to a Tilt podcast

The SOG chronicles episodes are easily my fave

The intro was hard to listen to. My family is from Laos and many died in the secret war in support of US troops. I am the first to be born in the USA and serve in the US military. At times I am heartbroken about the history of my family’s past. Other times, I am full of gratitude to be born as an American. Thanks for writing this book. To this day, all my family members who experience trauma from the war, would not talk about it and still feel betrayed from the Americans who left them to died. This book seems to open up on the kept secrets in that war. Thanks

This is where I come for strength while I'm in one of the most difficult most toughest battles of my life . Just when I felt like I wouldn't win this battle that it was just too big for me to overcome, weight has lifted from my shoulders. I haven't seen it just yet , but I can feel my blessings, what feels like happiness , peace and strength within myself I have not felt in many years . Thank you to everyone that makes this podcast possible . Special thanks to your guests too ! 🙏💪😊

I've enjoyed every one of Tilt's appearances, but I think he's really found his stride in this episode. Thanks so much for documenting and sharing these incredible stories!

HBO should make a show about these guys. Awesome podcasts.

I have been obsessed with these SOG stories! Listen to all the audible books while im working.

I wanna see a baking show with Jocko. Same lighting as this, same intensity. Same Jocko but explaining to you how to most efficiently make cupcakes.

4 am with coffee in my cup. Let's get after it gents

Tilt is a national treasure

From a Former Royal Marine, these SOG podcasts are the best I’ve listened too. Fantastic work Jocko!

John Stryker Meyer - and all U.S. Special Forces Men - are a national treasure. Fullstop.

Woke up to pee 2 hours before my alarm soundsChecked my youtube feed and realized this was just posted and I decided to say F sleeping! I own all of these books. I bought SOG Chronicles and On The Ground when Tilt made his first appearance on Jocko. I WAS HOOKED ON SOG stories! I hope Dick Thompson comes back soon, with more stories from his tour.

Seeing Tilt pop up on my KZfaq, was the highlight of my day, SOG warriors inspire me to be better and give me hope. It's like listening to an actual "action movie", the way these events even came to be told with the horror that came with them is unbelievable. I'm happy to know their are men like them out there!

Doesn't get any better than Tilt's chuckle as Jocko is explaining another mission impossible

I've honestly learned more about Vietnam era geopolitical history from these podcasts than I did in years of history classes. Not sure if that was due to crap teachers and curriculum... or how amazing these podcasts are! What I do know is I am GRATEFUL. For these books and discussions. For these warriors, and most of all, the fallen and MIA. God bless you all.

SOG stories are among my favorite to listen to. Thank you for this as always Jocko and Echo 🙏

I hope lynn black can do the podcast someday

Mr. MIKE ROSE deserves a medal of honor! He is the definition of an 'Merican hero!! Thank you President Trump!!

I'll listen to every single podcast you have with Tilt and the guys from SOG regardless of how many that will be (and I hope that is many!!!). Huge respect for these heroes.

Holy shit, I just listened the prior podcast with Tilt, and now Im met with a smile as I see this just fresh outta the oven. AIRBORNE

Hell yea Tilt's the man

You have the pacific, band of brothers and generation kill now all we need is a mini series following rt idaho

What kind of sorry bastard would give this a thumbs down? Any chance we have of hearing these stories are a pure blessing, the icing on top is having someone who was there to talk about it. Great job getting this out there gents!! Could listen to this all day!

I listen to these and SogCasts 1-24 over and over and over again. Tilt, Dick Thompson (R&R), Lynn Black, The Frenchman. I fall asleep listening to these every night. On my worst days in life, these help me realize I have never had a bad day comparatively. This includes three bouts with cancer, including the worst while going through a nasty divorce. These guys are all pipe hitters. Heros and National Treasures As Jacko said under today’s rules of engagement these missions today would never be approved, they’d all be called off, that’s a no go. Gods bless these men and the SF Gods and Angels that watched over them. Also spend a lot of time in Asia. Time spent in Danang, Marble Mountain and Hue. All hallowed grounds. I thank God for these brave men

Jocko please read the audible version of the SOG chronicles

these sog podcasts are brilliant. lets get more of these guys on. great work guys. well done.

Almost 1 million subscribers! Awesome!!! Great work you’re doing here man.

Always like to hear about these incredible missions and the men who had the balls to carry them out.

This is a powerful book, simply incredible. (atleast we know CNN has been consistent since 1998 I guess) 😄

Always like hearing about the old timers, never miss a chance to do so- No Country for Old Men.

These two are what is called Honorable Men and getting to listen to these stories by these Men, is an honor.

I was in a head on collision in my truck. Initially tried to open the door to get out but it had been jammed closed. Windows were all busted out though. So I know I went out the window but came out on my feet. I'll never know how I crawled out of a door window and landed on my feet. When shit like that happens your body just kinda auto pilots. My brain said lets get out of this truck and my body just did it.

The thing I love about Jocko's interviews with guys like Tilt and all the other men that served in combat, is that it helps guys like me that never served to better understand what war is really all about. Not that I'll ever know. I won't, cant. BUt to the extent I can, it helps. And these VN era guys...full salute to you men.

John Stryker Meyer? Thumbs up 👍 before I even begin watching 😉

i would not want a "just another day in SOG" type of day. What legends!

Ive grown to admire these SOG veterans. They have joined WW2 Airbourne troops and Pacific Theater veterans as my military heros. Jocko, please bring more of these vets on if you can. Their stories deserve an audience.

Amazing hearing Jocko call tilt “my hero” they’re so good together and have a wonderful respect for one another

The most epic stories EVER TOLD. Can’t believe we don’t have movies about SOG yet. Got Across the Fence & read. Amazing.

Ever since I started listening to the Jocko podcast regularly my toaster oven is clean as f***

Seeing the pride Tilt has, the smiles and laughs.....such an awesome experience. Thank you for giving this hero a chance to share his experiences. Keep bringing him and his buddies on. These stories need to be told. I pray they make a movie or something out of these.

Did the Smashing Pumpkin portion of this Podcast make anyone else laugh out loud? Hearing Echo trying to explain Pumpkin Spice to Jocko was worth the listen alone. Not to mention, every Podcast with John Stryker Meyer sets a new bar for quality and enjoyable listen.

The daily wire needs to make their mark in the entertainment industry by doing a series of SOG movies.

I’m Laotian, my late dad fought for the Laotian Royal Army and trained in the US. Thank you Tilt and Jocko for bringing their legacy to light. Cz for years nobody acknowledged Laos was apart of the Vietnam war and fought beside the US. He didn’t say too much about it , ever once in a while when him and my uncles were drunk but maybe have been one of your little guys.

Literally make my friggin day sirs...when you mention to go back and listen previous podcast I feel jealous like when someone tells me they've just started watching sopranos for the first time. A beautiful thing you guys are doing. Truly.

LETS GET JOCKO TO 1,000,000. GOD BLESS AMERICA!🇺🇸

Love to see the Bromance that Jocko has for this hero

Cant wait to hear from some of the pilots , also lynn black !!

These two together never gets old. The mutual respect. The mutual honor. Fantastic!

As a prior service marine (airwing) I’m the thankful for men like this who were much tougher and braver than I can imagine

These SOG stories are truly amazing. Everyone involved in those missions constantly displayed monumental courage in the face of such staggering odds and never wavered. Truly a different breed of men. Nothing but the utmost respect for these guys.

Small world! Former SOG Lieutenant Robert Van Buskirk was one of the Americans on this op and was misquoted by CNN. Met him while helping a buddy a sell a airplane he inherited and Buskirk was the buyer. He has a Rolex and a sapphire pinky ring and I asked if he was SF back in the day. He couldn’t believe I called him out as SF and told us about tailwind. Also crazy is the fact I met James C Parker who was running the battle for the CIA in Laos at the time of Tailwind. Got a call from of of Parker’s former soldiers when he was a Capt with the 25th INF. Tracked down Parker and explain I had one of his guys being denied VA benefits because there was no proof he ever served. James was appalled and helped my get enough sworn affidavits to finally fix the soldiers denial of benefits. Small world!

Tilt is a gentleman.....probably the embodiment of the saying...."When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite" Winston Churchill. Without a doubt Tilt is probably the nicest, most dangerous men anyone could ever meet. God bless these podcasts for opening our eyes to the hidden bravery of the SOG and indig operators as well as all their air support.

Jocko could read me bedtime stories - in fact right now I could use it to fall asleep! NO DISRESPECT!!! - Hoorah!

What a tough bastard John is!

Thank you for more insights into the Vietnam War and Mr. Meyer's service record. I'm 64, old enough to remember our Living Room War, and never did serve because though possessing a 1-H draft card, Pres. Nixon has instituted the all volunteer army and Pres. Ford had ended the war by the time I graduated from high school in 1974. Not to mention that the yellow beret was too often an option. Instead the Lord has lead me to the inner-city where I serve in ministry whereupon spiritual warfare is more apparent besides the flesh and blood we struggle against anyways.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO THIS COUNTRY. Jocko, I never miss you pod.....but sitting there talking to John Meyer has gotta be the coolest thing ever. Being a warrior yourself you understand better than most. God Bless you Mr.Meyer

Tilt is so funny, listening to Jocko read his book. Jocko is reading, Tilt is making surprized noises like he never heard the story before. lol I must have watched each episode 6 or 7 times. I love these videos.

Keep the SOG SERIES GOING...

Glad Tilt is gets enjoyement on this. And is able to be here to tell us these stories. Helps me grateful to be more grateful I didn't have to go thrugh this.

These pod casts kept me going while I was in the hospital. These guys are hero’s.

Better stories than any action movie and they actually happened. Makes my brain melt.

So excited that Tilt is going to do my show. Episode will air April 6

Just started watching the channel. I've already bought the first of Stryker's three books on Audible. I intend in owning all three soon enough. Great channel, these interviews are over two hours but go by like nothing. Extremely interesting to listen to. Awesome work.

Ice cubes in their veins.... Hats off to rotor pilots..... Thank you for another chapter of Tilt S.O.G. memoirs Cheers gentlemen

"Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" and the great Lynn Black....🇺🇸💪

BOOM !!!! Tilt the legend is back !!!!! Gonna be a good day

I could listen to these stories for days!…”Tilt” is pure Red, White and Blue! 🇺🇸

Tilt has the sweetest laugh ever! such a humble and special guy!

Jocko & Tilt I could listen to non-stop. Very informative & powerful stories of your experiences. John, your voice & little laugh lightens this deep subject as you explain. Thank you for all you've done!!!

“The NVA threw 600 grenades at them. Of course they were ChiComm grenades so only half went off, but 300 is still a lot of grenades.” I’m pretty sure they only counted the ones that went off, which means 1,200 were thrown!!! 😱 These podcasts with Tilt are the best content on KZfaq. What a legend! Thanks for being on our side Tilt!!!

These podcasts with Tilt have become my favorite thing to watch, these stories are amazing, especially with how blown away joc is. The SOG guys are the definition of America's best

My grandpa was CMSGT Winifred J Smith. 1956-1980 USAF Vietnam macv and went down once on 64-14222 got plenty of pictures and information. Uploaded some to rotorheads through jim burns. You guys are the upmost badasses.

Listen to these podcasts at work man they make the days go by such awesome stories.

Tilt in my all time top 3 favorite guest he might be number 1. on this show, and that’s not taking from any of the other awesome dudes on that’s been on here

@ 1:00:00 approx re helicopter damage. I worked on the 53 while in the Air Force. I assume the Marine ships were similarly protected: The pilots sat in seats that had thick metal bottoms, backs and side wings that extended forward enough that the torso was protected. The armor plating was placed at critical bellcranks, tail, intermediate gear boxes and key points of the main transmission. The engine fuel controls were protected, but there was no protection for the compressor or turbine section. Certainly weight was a limiting factor. The main rotor blades could easily take a bullet as it was thin sheet metal but a hole in it may cause a pocket to rise up, affecting the blades tracking, hence a bumpy ride. A hole through the blade's spar would be critical. The drive shafts from the engines to the main transmission and the shaft to the tail gearboxes were hollow and about 4" in diameter. From the engines and to the tail, each section was attached to the other with a stackup of thin stainless steel discs, the assembly was called a Thomas Coupling, the flexability of which compensated for the flexing of the airframe. The placement of the armor plating guarded against ground fire straight up, but once on the ground, eye level fire could hit critical components. Re 1:40:00 autorotation: Helicopters have a one-way clutch that mechanically disconnects the engines should they quit, ie a sprag clutch. The main rotor is free to turn. The tail rotor is also driven by the same gears that continue to rotate when the main rotor turns. The upward flow of air spins the main rotor. Rotational speed is partly controlled by dropping the nose and raising/lowering the collective control stick. Biting more air slows the rotation, lowering the collective bites less air and rotor rpm goes up. I think max rpm on the 53 main rotor is 350rpm. Flight controls can only be moved if there is remaining hydraulic pressure. Primary pump drives directly off the main gearbox and secondary and utility pumps are mounted on the accessory gearbox that is mounted fwd of the main gearbox and between the engines. It is driven by a driveshaft out of the main gearbox or the APU. The hydraulics runs at about 3000 psi so any bullet holes to any of the pressure lines would be a spraying mess and fire hazard. It uses Mil-H-5606 red fluid.

I like how he refers to CNN as the “Communist News Network” 😂🤣

What a blessing that these stories are finally coming out, especially from the heroes who lived it. I’d imagine that movies, shows and documentaries will be the end result of these brilliant de-briefs from Jocko. I can’t wait to read these books from Mr Meyer and Mr Black.

Making history live...........literally, I was mesmerised during this podcast. It’s so eat that this will now be documented forever, I hope as much is recorded fr history as possible. By the way I’m an ex British Army JTAC guy & I know what it takes to make those airstrikes happen, I would of found it amazing to hear more on that side & the comms etc. But from across the pond in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 all I can say is freakin amazing, I need to go put the kettle on n have a nice brew (nice of of tea, all English peoples answer to everything). Thanks 🙏 again, the 2 greatest allies in the world 🌎.

John Stryker is a bad ass

Gradys always coming out with the videos that we didn’t know that we needed.

Jocko you really need to get in touch with the history channel and make these stories into a mini series so the world knows of these heroic stories. It would be an absolute hit.... and these stories would live on forever

Always awesome to hear from John Stryker Meyer!

I love these SOG chronicles. Thank you John Stryker "Tilt" Meyer! I salute you! 🇺🇸

Jocko for president and I'm serious as shit.

Thanks Jocko & Echo. You guys run a fantastic show!!!! 👍🏼💯

Thank God this man survived so he can tell all of these great tales! Congrats on breaking over 1,000,000 subscribers!

These SOG stories are the best podcasts out there. Hands down. I wasnt even in the military. The stories are just that good

this is like.... my 4th time listening to this podcast.... and hearing Tilt after the introduction always makes me smile.
