In this episode you will hear:
• The guys [SEALS] are smarter, more well prepared, built harder and ready to go from day one. (28:01)
• I did 40 years combined government service. I did 26 active duty.(30:28)
• Frog Men - if they’re smart - when they get into trouble and get caught. If you’ll say these mortal words - and the officers will laugh at this - “Well, XO, it seemed the logical thing to do at the time, but in retrospect I see the folly of my decision-making and I will stand accountable for my actions. (36:03)
• “Okay, you had your fuck up, prove it’s a hiccup and it’s not a habit, because if it’s a habit you’re gonna be very short lived in this community. (36:51)
• “I love being a team guy.” (40:21)
• [Melanie] Can you walk us through that bank robbery?” (54:24 - 56:40)
• [Marcus] We’re on this race track, and there’s 3 cars - side by side. We’d be driving down this track at full speed, and then they’ll be like: “You got shot - you’re out. And he would lean on the steering wheel while we’re racing and we’d have to pull him into the back seat. Meanwhile, the other guys are shooting us with paintballs. (60:35)
• Don’t be that guy that has the only information. Pass it on to everybody so everybody knows. (64:08)
• The combat swimmer - no bubbles. You don’t want to be seen. You don’t want to have bubbles come up. (66:49)
• His [Marcus’] Trident award was the last one awarded by the team. (70:28)
• [Marcus] “You’re not allowed to touch a Trident or go near one. (74:40)
• Chris’ involvement with Red Wing (84:44 - 99:00)
• I’ve got some good news, and bad news. Bad news is we’ve gotta tough job and there’s no way around it. You’re the junior guy and it gonna fall on you. The good news is you’re a perfect fit for it. (101:53)

Watching his podcast is a lesson in patience. Why the fuck would an interviewer constantly interrupt the guests so they can't finish their thoughts only so Marcus can add on his experience in support of thatnthe guest is trying to say. Take a breath and listen so we can all listen.

Lot's of hate coming for Markus because of the redwing story and sadly other veterans are making content out of the op. I just saw the Tali video of them finding Murph putting their filthy hands on him! Then the veterans are saying because Markus said everyone is dead they stopped looking and found Axe leaning on a tree saying he was only a day or two days passed. I don't know i wasn't there and regardless of the official story it's a huge mistake by Tim Semanski and forcing day ops. Just warning you brother, be prepared for the hate. 🙏

Marcus, appreciate your service and what it took to become a SEAL but when are you going to finally tell the truth about what happened? A lot of operators, SEAL Team, Army SF, Rangers who know the facts about “Red Wings” are bringing those facts to bear and you need to clear the air and your conscience and tell the truth. I’m a retired Navy Chief, 21 years Active Duty, Tactical Helicopter Aircrewman and SAR rescue swimmer, then 16 years as a Police Officer, and then a high school teacher, but now fully retired. I’ve read the book, watched the movie and believed the narrative for a lot of years but now brother, you need to come clean . Do it for your community and for your soul.

Marcus , please address the master chief that debriefed you after redwings!! Your silence is questionable AT BEST !!! According to delta guys who rescued you, you had FULL MAGS when you walked out after being rescued .. According to them , that was your very 1st firefight ..and that you cut and ran and hid while your teammates fought and died... That makes Gulab , the master chief (who you were debriefed) AND YOURSELF admit you put your gun down and were a "coward" ..(as you told cnn in interview) Not to mention they have LIVE video from the pred drone above of you running while your team fought and died... I don't wanna believe that....but your silence is deafening

You guys are really fast to assume “a guilty charge” what so we’re guilty before proven innocent now??? This man deserves the upmost respect along with any seal that has served regardless of he said she said statements. Stop being so gullible and fast to a conclusion. Thank you for your service and continued commitment to your values.

This would be a really good podcast.. but the amount of cross talking basically makes this podcast on watchable, I’ve also seen several complaints for crosswalk, but yet it’s still continues, and the viewer numbers are getting lower and lower. It’s unfortunate.

You froze in fear, put down your weapon and hid while your teammates fought to the death. It was 8 against 4 and the insurgents had the upper hand. It’s not your fault, NSW had no business putting 4 rookie SEALS in there the way they did, but they just had to stick their nose in the Marine’s business where it didn’t belong. The Marines would have pulled this off easily since they had already been there and were going to folllow up with Whalers. YOU though have lied and profited off of your teammates death. Whether that’s the narrative the Navy wanted to put out to explain 19 needless casualties or your own, it’s something you’ll have to live with each night as you stare into the darkness for the rest of your days. 19 men did not quit, you did.

Sir, you got this statement totally wrong.... It wasn't 4 against 8 but 3 against 8.... 3 of the 4 were warriors, and the other one was a marathon runner.

Did you really run the entire time the gunfight was going on? They said AX was alive for several days after the gunfight. The podcast said you probably caused his death by your lies. The man telling the story was the SEAL Senior Chief who helped debrief you along with the fact they had you on satellite running from the start of the gunfight, running away? That is super fucked up. The Podcast run by a former Delta Force Operator had your Senior Chief on it calling you a liar and a Coward.
