Anyone else have the sudden realization that The Jocko Podcast is basically Reading Rainbow for grown ups?

Okay Jocko, enough is enough. Every time you do a book review and do your story time, I turn around a buy more books... my wife is questioning your motives. Touche my good man!

I am Lakota and a veteran, also have talked to Joe a couple times. This enlightened my heart to hear the values and history being discussed, it's not often at all that I hear any discussion. When people find out I'm Lakota, they always ask why would you serve a country that has treating you so badly? There are tons of responses, but the one that comes to me is, America has great values, and as long as it continues to have it's word and it's values, it will always win and hope one day that they honor our treaties and values. Feel free to come by South Dakota on your way to the battlefield.

I was raised in Wyo. Worked on pipeline. Amazing history I was paid to see. Fort Laramie, Fort Reno, Fort Casper. Oregon and Mormon trails. Independence rock where the settlers would write their names on a big rock close to Pathfinder ranch. It’s spiritually uplifting to learn their way of life. Both Native American and soldiers.

As a proud Alaska Native and Navajo Indian it’s good to hear stories like these coming into the light.

I am a Lakota myself. Descendant of Gall. Thanks for telling our tale to the world Jocko.

Middle aged woman listener here. This podcast is rising to be one of my favorites, love that you can read from a book on air and make it interesting. Crazy Horse is maybe one of the best warriors that walked on this soil and earth.

Someone get jocko a star quilt. He's officially an uncle

Episodes 323, 324 were fantastic. That damn book isn't easy to find. This story will be just a cool. History 101 💯🇺🇲

PLEASE more native american stories! Our modern American veterans are amazing but the original Americans were just as amazing, brave, and inspiring!

Absolutely fucking loved this episode. I’m Native American from the Lumbee tribe. All through out this I thought about how still to this day Native nations still wage political war. Mainly the Cherokee Nation. Say we are not real Natives because so much or our history has been lost.

Oh wow! This is going to be epic. One of the greatest warriors ever telling the story of another. 💪🏼

I know the chances of Jocko seeing this are small, but I found the little tangent about rituals and rituals that signify transitioning to adulthood very interesting. Karl Marlantes talks about this in his excellent book "What it's Like to Go to War", and if I remember correctly (any mistakes are mine) - he postulates that a non-trivial portion of our societal deficiencies can be related to the fact that we no longer have rituals that signify the passage from childhood to adulthood, for men or women (be that hunting, war/combat, or childbirth). Thus, many of us never transition. As an aside, if you haven't read Marlantes' book "Matterhorn" (about small unit combat in Vietnam) - I think it's a masterpiece. Strange experience to find myself out walking the dog and crying while listening to it hah.... good thing I live in the boonies and there's nobody around to see ;)

Old M-60 gunner here and yes, although I have a degree in early American history and have read MANY books on Tecumseh and the battle for Ohio-A Sorrow in our Heart- and ‘That Dark and Bloody River,” and his first book “The Frontiersman.” All by Alan Eckert, are all worth a read if you like these books. (I know I do) Semper Fi.

One of the most multi layered episodes. Breathlessly good. Time to fill some libraries…

Sounds like Jocko is talking about the hero myth. It's universal through time and culture. It's a part of us.

I grew up in central Montana and was fortunate enough to visit the Battle of Little Bighorn twice as a boy. Once with my family and once on a school field trip. It’s been about 15 years but i still remember the feeling and aura of that place. Truly a remarkable experience

As a Finn, it is quite easy to identify with the lifestyle of indigenous peoples. They are very fascinating because we Europeans are so immersed in Christianity that we forgot the culture that preceded it. Lalli is still remembered here as an anti-Christian, although we do not know if he was a fictional character or not.

Only 8 minutes in. This will be a special treat, I'm guessing. Crazy Horse has been my role model for 30 years (I'm 55). Thanks, in advance ✊.

Thank you Echo, Jason and Jocko for the awesome podcast.

*I highly recommend learning about John Trudell; a native American veteran, author, poet, philosopher, and activist.*

"Echo Charles; assesment." brilliant

This is one of the top 5 Jocko podcasts I’ve listened to.

Thank you Jocko. I first read of Crazy Horse when I was in fifth grade. His uniqueness as a leader and warrior encapsulated what would become my view of a man leading his community.

I just finished reading a book called “Captured by Indians” it’s first accounts of being captured by Indians…just glad we live now! Hard times for both sides

I listen to jocko on my commute and his is the only podcast that my subs pick up. His voice is epic in here

Has listening to these pods caused anyone else to feel an immense amount of shame whenever you catch yourself wanting to give up or feeling sorry for yourself, it’s probably the best thing that’s happened to me in years.

I had to listen to this book on Audible. It was an eye opener. We America loving Constitutional Conservatives are the Lakota. Our great country that countless people have fought and died for are the Black Hills. The White politicians in power in the mid to late 1800s represent the liberal progressives of today. We are destined to walk the same path as the Wild Lakota. I pray we as free Americans do not end up living in Loafer camps waiting for the meager government handouts. Are we resigned to live in Loafer camps or shall we die fighting as Warriors for our way of life?

Choice subject ~🤙🏼🎗⚡️🇺🇸♠️🩸 Thank You for Honoring,*Crazy Horse”🇺🇸⚡️🪶🦅🐻🦬🐴⚡️🩸🎗🇺🇸🤙🏼😎♠️🩸⚡️ from a American Veteran 🇺🇸

I even love the lloonngg exhales into his mic every minute or two. Reminds me that I too am breathing, and heading into work at 5AM EST. Mr. Wilinck, you are an inspiration sir. I mean that completely and sincerely. Long may you run. (Says an old M-60 Echo 3, machine gunner) Semper Fi sir. 👍❤️

40:18….I damn near fell out of my chair. This is so true if you never learn another thing!!!!

I would love it if you did one about Alexander the great or Julius Ceasar.

So good Gents. Definitely going to make your presentation in August @ the Little Big Horn. FYI the Battle of 100 in the Hands is just a couple hours south into Wyoming, near Story, WY. The marker at the aka Fetterman Site says no one survived... but I always point out a bunch of our red brothers made it out just fine.

My favorite guest!!! Listened to these last few episodes 2x each.

More Native American stuff please. This and wooden leg have been some favorites. Also “officers eat last” you should have Nathan Fick on. He was a marine recon Lt

Have you reached out to the Lakota for your visit to little big horn? I believe there is a lot of insight to be gained. Also crazy horse told his people he would return in the rock...

How is it possible the dream became a reality, and the dream was taken so seriously by all the Native Indians, how have they tapped into something so spiritual that we can't seem to replicate? Beyond words. Utterly gripping this episode was.

When I was growing up riding/racing dirt bikes my mentors told me these things. 1: the faster you ride the further you look ahead., 2: ALWAYS look where you want to go not at what you want to miss., 3: if you're not scaring yourself several times a lap you're not riding at the top of your skill Level! 😉

Being born as a native, children are born into the clan of their fathers. Ojibwe have several clans such as loon, crane, fish, bird, bear, marten, and deer clans. Members of same clan considered themselves relatives. Also being aware of the Earth and every animal is alive. Maybe some have seen a native picture showing everything is connected by spirit. Pow wow music allows one to feel as the singers around the drum sing and scream honoring the spirits of different aspects of life and animals. Strength is very spiritual entwining the spirits of their spiritual animal, tribe, and really their very existence. So intruders were taking alot more than just an area, it trampled the land, animals, and life. They lived only on the land.

Thanks....love Indians.😍

Daniele Bolelli on his podcast History on Fire does a great job on Crazy Horse. I highly recommend it.

I've been listening to various episodes of your podcast...Gleaning lessons of leadership and accountability from the past has had me listening almost non stop over the past few weeks while I'm at work. I work alone and my job is rather mundane, so these podcasts really absorb my mind while I work. This episode... I've heard the story of Little Big Horn from Custer's side of the battle, but this was the first time I've heard the story from Crazy Horse's side. His story, and that of his people, will live forever. I would love to visit that battle field some day. All I can say is, please keep up the excellent work. You've given so much depth to the reading of these books, to the stories of the people who made history. Thank you.

Wooden Leg and Crazy Horse are badass… U should read About Navajo Code Talkers WW two, Geronimo and the Apache’s wars, or Sitting Bull’s life…

Ecko your input is incredible brother. Guys this is probably the most insightful and powerful lesson yet.

Strong people!!

Good topic! I’m looking forward to this to take my mind of the world war, outrageous prices, and the rest of reality. Sad when you’re like, ah! The Indian Wars! That’ll help me unwind

As much of a student of history as I am, I've somehow managed to forget what a complete and utter badass Crazy Horse was. This was an excellent episode.

Powerful episode, so much untold history that my High school skipped over. Outstanding HONESTLY read/educational episode. Well done Sir's Bless up from Brooklyn NY

Great subject ....anyone who's interested in Indian history should read Empire of the Summer Moon by S C Gwynne... Joe Rogan did a podcast on it.....

Great work getting all these stories out it’s imperative we never forget

Jocko = MostValueablePres

Outstanding book. Outstanding lessons. Outstanding podcast. Thank you.

Awesome! Been Awhile since I tuned in but super excited for this one & more! Keep killing it guys! Much love ❤️ 🐺⭕️✌️

Thx guys 🙏

very thankful you are covering this! Much respect ❤

At the 1:20:43 mark after reading a excerpt from the book Jockos face says it all.

Awesome podcast on an outstanding individual. These last few podcasts featuring historic people have been some of my favorite. I would love to see a follow-on podcast after you have visited the Little Bighorn battlefield. Thank you, Jason, for giving me another book to add to the list.

If only we had men like Crazy horse around today. Keep up the good content Jocko and crew 👍

Good evening

To be in Little League at 9 years old, to get any reasonable playing time, we had to be able to throw a regulation baseball the 60 feet (20 yards) between bases. By age 12 we had guys that could throw from center field to home plate, about 275 feet max (about 91 yards max).

This is awesome best podcast yet! More American Indian podcasts!!

I saw the prison cell Crazy Horse was kept in at Ft. Pickens years ago. So glad to hear all this.

Good morning sir, just grabbed a tub of chocolate pb MOLK!! It’s damn good. Thank you

For me this is in the top 3 favorite episodes he has done. Legit! •• Elements of a Man 1. Be generous 2. Courage 3. Fortitude 4. Wisdom ••• Fall of Man Fear Anger Arrogance

Love this kind of book club

Dan Carlin's new Hardcore History on the history of slavery has a bunch of interesting info on American Indians

I've listened to this book literally dozens of times in my 15 years on a serious Lakota path. "Black Elk Speaks" and "Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power" are two other books that I believe are mandatory for a person interested in these ways. The other mandatory is respect for the brave men and women who preserved them. I could talk for hours on this but I'll keep it short and thank Jocko for presenting this book. And Joseph Marshall 3 for writing it.

“You got any commentary on grabbing a horse by its mane and jumping on?”… yeah that’s some badass $&@&!

Awesome reading. Love it gentlemen.

Read Warriors Creed by Roger Sparks. I think it is great that Joko emphasis the importance of reading. In order to be understood we must first understand and reading helps us comprehend another person's point of view

Hey JOCKO I hope you read this, an amazing book I really think you would enjoy a lot is ‘Son of the Morning Star’ by Evan S. Connell. It’s all about George Armstrong Custer. He had a pretty fascinating life. One thing that stood out to me a lot about him is that he’s quite the rebellious type. The book talks about all the times he got in trouble by the military and it’s actually quite comical the things he got in trouble for. I love the history of the American west.

Totally captivated less than half way through! Jocko rocks the way he delivers this stuff, huge fan here!

perfect episode! i just started a fire and sat down with my dog

If you haven't had the chance to Read or listen to Empire Of The Summer Moon authored by S.C. Gwynne I highly recommend this book. It is about The last Comanche and the Native American Wars.

No better lesson than a jocko military history lesson

🤜🤛💪👍 Thank you my brother 👍

great podcast man. Thanks for all the wisdom.

Um fraking yea I'm have 2 agree that's my favorite move to do in the middle of the battlefield swing whoop

My grandfather, on occasion would say, "Well, Jocko, what are we gonna do next? I knew a teaching point was coming, or I had additional chores to do. Good nik/name. That was 60 years ago.May he rest in peace

The same applies to “the gods” all cultures independently of one another developed religious ideology. Thought provoking for sure

Growing up inside DC beltway surrounded by Heros,geophgraphy in early years,, definitely created my instincts/values

"Oh my goodness, say that again" That would be fitting for a t-shirt :)

Jacko said crazy hoe. Although I know it's just a misspoken word that's hilarious. I think we've all been there and had our own last stand LOL

Thank you for this

1:19:02 - the ghosts a warrior has to live with...I have goosebumps on goosebumps

It won’t let me start the video.

Outstanding

Gracias.

Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull had a great victory over the evil bumbling dunce Custer. They outsmarted him and fought with more honor and purpose. Every last one of the evil enemy was brutally dispatched. Our great warriors took much joy in the white screams and their pleading to be spared. We took their hearts, their scalps, their souls.

God bless you and thank you

Need to get badhand on this show,do one of his tipi talks for jocko

Back to the Jocko podcast essence on this one, Back to the Book.

1:20:56 I like the comment on The Com Check. A ritual similar to the Lakota, preparing for battle. The underline current, I have your back, you have mine, let’s do this.

bein to gettysburg 11 times off to the philippines to continue my quest for knowledge

Custer was from where I live, Monroe, Michigan.

17:15 - it’s not complicated. A person that is imposing, whether physically or personality wise, gets the respect. There is nothing more to it.

Great Podcast. Everybody interested in American History should visit the Little Bighorn Battlefield if they get a chance. Jason Gartner did a good job describing it. I was surprised to hear Jocko has never been there. In the mid 90's i read the book "Black Elk speaks" and after it resulted in me taking a Long Road trip from Calif to the Black hills to Pine Ridge Indian reservation to Wounded Knee memorial then back up into Montana To visit LBH battlefield which was just a fantastic way to put everything I read and saw into perspective.

Came here looking for draw weight knowledge. But I’m going to stop looking so I can focus my attention on the podcast. I will suggest two books while I’m here as I don’t believe they’ve been covered. Both by Charles Henderson, Marine Sniper and Silent Warrior.

Most of the Native American tribes still do rituals for thier people coming back from war, some of them offer it to non-natives at VA, ask your local VA, I know Tucson does.

It's so sad what the American government did to the American Indians, makes me sick knowing what they did to them!!
