This guy is probably the best SEAL social media personality to ever do it. Anybody who hasn't seen his UA-cam channel yet, it's must watch content. Interviews people ranging from Admirals in the Navy discussing how often they'd see UFOs, to former CIA agents discussing remote viewing programs funded by the government. Just absolutely the most interesting content I've ever seen. There's a reason his channel has grown to millions of followers in just a few years.
“A mile wide and an inch deep.” Besides tactical pew pew stuff, he doesn’t have a clue of what he’s talking about and hence can’t ask the right questions. He’s the new joe rogan. You’ll see it one day.

@@tailwind12 Ah, ok. So you're just going to copy and paste this comment on everything. Now I wonder if you really did serve or if you're a keyboard warrior instead
I had no idea Shawn had been through all these struggles and the extent of his addiction, it is truly amazing how resilient the human spirit can be and he is such a positive example.
Good to see Mr Ryan getting his day in the spotlight. He’s a good man, his wife is a super human being. These two are the future of interviews on the internet.
I watch all of his interviews, it's odd to hear him talk so much, lol. He is so genuine, he holds nothing back. I have so much respect for him and other veterans.
Shawn Ryan, you are a credit to your nation, ..really a treasure to your nation. Your humility is inspiring, and the world needs more like you. I served in Iraq, in 05-06, glad to have breathed the same dusty air as you during the same time. The work you do on your show is utterly classic, and timeless. People like you are what makes me proud to be an American! God bless you, the teams, and all the American forces (and alphabets), that keep our country safe. Especially you though, for your candor, insights, and approach to revealing the things that really went down from the people who were actually there. Love you man!
The SEAL training seemed hard until he got to the drug and alcohol issues and then this account turned into a nightmare. This has to be the most honest retelling I've watched and I've watched a lot of them.
The UA-camr Mr Ballen also has a very honest telling of those issues on his podcast with Shawn. So happy those two were able to escape that vicious cycle
my thoughts exactly! i just watched one of these vids from the insider of diff types of crimes, one of which was a money launderer, and when he broke down his process i caught his lie. Lots of it sounded convincing, but there were a few things he mentioned that just don't work that way (i investigated AML professionally so i could tell). Made me a bit disappointed, but Shawn is badass
Yeah same here I remember watching story time stuff of operators talking around a fire and he was apart of it and i just couldn't get enough of these stories, then eventually he started doing more stories. Then I remember he did his first episode with his buddy and I remember being like "wow that was so good and organized for someone like him, I hoped he did more now look where that is! One of the best podcasts out there now! Been here since the literal start and LOVE IT

@@greenglassrecyclingyou must be fun at parties... So a navy admiral revealing how often he saw UFOs at sea and a Former CIA operative discussing remote viewing programs funded by the US government are the "worst guests"?
I’ve been following Shawn’s UA-cam channel for some years. I’ve always liked and admired his demeanor. And obviously respect his service. He’s just a good stand up guy. Thanks for uploading.
Thank you, Sean for sharing your story, especially since it highlights the damage that is done long-term from working in high stress, environments, and the plate of veterans every day, including suicide, divorce, and broken families. Thank you for overcoming.
I was approached by recruiters in boot camp and passed; then when stationed on an Aircraft Carrier in the 80’s I saw seals before and after action. Glad I served and much respect for the tip of the spear forces including the SEALS. My exposures influenced my fitness / mental levels. Jesus rewrote my whole story. You sir are much appreciated ❤
I'm also a combat veteran (68W). After being diagnosed with PTSD and after years of VA psychologist/psychiatrist support, the only thing that's truly helped is psilocybin and DMT. Psilocybin works wonders every 3-4 months. Someone asked what it does for me, and the best way to describe it was to say, "It's like rebooting a computer that stays on 24/7." Glad to hear this brother talk about it. Hoorah!
Thank you for your service. You probably don't get to hear that as much as you should. Glad you recovered. I've seen a lot of addiction in my career and I don't get a chance to see recovery so this makes my day. Good luck to you Shawn Ryan.
Thank you, Shawn. This is an excellent introduction to your podcast and it's purpose. My dad and his WWII men never had the truth told about their fight to the Remagen Bridge or the nightmarish Heurtgen Forest fight. How I wish there had been a Shawn Ryan waiting to tell his story.
As someone who can’t join the military due to medical reasons, I have nothing but respect for those that complete training that I couldn’t even without my medical History holding me back.
Thank you for your service and your continued work for your fellow citizens. It isnt easy to share things with people when it makes us vulnerable, but for vets to get the things they need a person like yourself is priceless.
It wasn’t the experiences of a SEAL but my 8 1/2 years of insane extremes still took it’s toll… I took a pass on the common substance abuse path but can’t stop needing to frequently close myself off to everyone and everything except nature instead. Family hates it but being completely alone with NO WORDS and only nature making sounds brings the peace…. This was a great interview, thanks.
Oh dude they, like most recruiters are relentless. I remember after HS, it was like 2002, and I took the ASVAB placement exam, and scored like a 96, or 98, just remember it was a high even number. At the time I was interested in the Army special operations track...I didn't know much about the Marines, Navy, Air Force, or Coast Guard. Not that I didn't know per say, but I was just more interested in specifically land based Special Operations. Anyway, the recruiter told me I could have my pick of where I want to get placed, and handed me a contract to take home to sign. My dad ended up talking me out of it (he served in the army in USSR), something I kinda regret this many years later (but who knows, he probably potentially saved my life). The point is for years, after I took the exam, I would have various recruiters calling me nonstop. I think they finally stopped around '09 or '10.
And remember, when in bootcamp you will be offered a “dream sheet for duty stations”. Always go opposite coast to where you really want to go. Although I said Miramar and ended up in Guam.
I remember in 2000 I visited my first recruiting center. Two days later they were showing up unannounced at my house. Relentless, they have to be though.
Been a fan of SRS since episode 1! Has evolved into the most reliable and fascinating source of news & history. Great interview! Hope SRS is around a long time! He's getting so famous & popular it's hard to think Shawn won't move into the next chapter...what that may be!🇺🇲
Men like Shawn are the ones to follow. Notable truthful and wouldn’t trade his integrity for anything. Wish we had more like Eli littrell and Shawn leading this country
Thanks to Insider for this piece but also a massive thanks to Shawn Ryan for this. I've seen all of the lengthy interviews you got on your channel and they've done me nothing but good, pulled me out of some dark times. I was always curious about your past on the personal life aspect and this answered alot of my questions. I have a great amount of respect for you and everyone you brough to your show and to all the vets out there, thank you for your service and thank you for sharing your stories.
This was a great interview, they asked the right questions and I learned a lot of things from Shawn that he’s never talked about, he doesn’t talk about the deployments much.
Excellent interview!! I’m still in shock over Shawn on Rogans podcast. He has so much to say and has lived an extraordinary life. All we got was zero questions and Rogan babbling for 2 hours. I don’t know what that was about. SRS is by far the best podcast out there.
Also right off the bat Rogan began questioning the validity or "truth" of some of Shawn's guest. Like "dude do really believe all of these stories?" Admittedly 1 guys story seemed a bit of a stretch but who am I to question him. JR definitely isn't someone whose opinion I care about.
It undeniably brought a lot of people’s attention who didn’t know who Shawn is or his podcast, which is what Rogan does with his show for the most part. Bring new comedians, scientists, etc on to boost their reach. Then the audience can decide if they want to learn more about the person or subject.
amazing interview. I remember when I was a kid and SOCOM U.S. Navy SEAL's game came out, and after that I was hooked. That game offered a little documentary that I'd watch over and over... really changed my mindset and how important it is to never give up.
I love these style of interviews just letting the guy talk. Especially someone like Shawn. All the other interviews of him being interviewed i feel like people always talk over him. Bro has a crazy good career. Love him and respect him so much.
I’m not sure about anybody else, but I’m so glad this guy blew up on the Internet . Shawna I can imagine the people that you’ve helped since you’ve been doing this. I know you’ve helped me through some stuff. Thanks for what you do, man God bless you.
I lvoe Shawn Ryan’s story, a regular man becoming a great warrior, leaving that life overcoming Addiction then making a podcast and UA-cam channel showing stories like his and actually helping people
My grandfather was an engineer's mate second class in ww1. My father was in the Vietnam War, and I regret not going to the military, but watching Sean Ryan talk about his experience in the military is uplifting
Thank you for a phenomenal interview.

Thank you for having Shawn on. He is the best podcaster in the world and I'm glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves.
Excellent interview!! I’m still in shock over Shawn on Rogans podcast. He has so much to say and has lived an extraordinary life. All we got was zero questions and Rogan babbling for 2 hours. I don’t know what that was about. SRS is by far the best podcast out there.
Also right off the bat Rogan began questioning the validity or "truth" of some of Shawn's guest. Like "dude do really believe all of these stories?"
Admittedly 1 guys story seemed a bit of a stretch but who am I to question him. JR definitely isn't someone whose opinion I care about.
Jealousy and inferiority complex on Joe Rogans side
It undeniably brought a lot of people’s attention who didn’t know who Shawn is or his podcast, which is what Rogan does with his show for the most part. Bring new comedians, scientists, etc on to boost their reach. Then the audience can decide if they want to learn more about the person or subject.
No whiz-bang effects nor annoying egoistic interviewer babbling -just the interview subject conveying his story. Excellent!!!
amazing interview. I remember when I was a kid and SOCOM U.S. Navy SEAL's game came out, and after that I was hooked. That game offered a little documentary that I'd watch over and over... really changed my mindset and how important it is to never give up.
That game was the best
I lost my summer to that game on my psp!!!
It was janky fr lol
Never give up playing console games in your underwear while you smoke a bowl.

Shawn is a real guy. Honest, brave and smart.
Mr. Ryan is a certified badass. I highly recommend his content.
Thank you, Shawn. I'm glad you are still here and that your work is helping others and our country, at least what's left of it.
I love these style of interviews just letting the guy talk. Especially someone like Shawn. All the other interviews of him being interviewed i feel like people always talk over him. Bro has a crazy good career. Love him and respect him so much.
Glad he made it.
I’m not sure about anybody else, but I’m so glad this guy blew up on the Internet . Shawna I can imagine the people that you’ve helped since you’ve been doing this. I know you’ve helped me through some stuff. Thanks for what you do, man God bless you.
Shawn Ryan is the man!
Yes this man is realistic,,up front no BS ,, knows ALOT ,from he came ,,/ grew up !!
Shawn is so easy to listen to, great interview and narrator.
Wow what an incredible interview. Thank you for sharing your experience
guy is a true Patriot
Great to see Shawn get the recognition he deserves👍👍 He's probably the best podcaster out there right now after Joe Rogan.
I can listen to Shawn all day
Shawn is the man.
Shawn is too chill and relatable to be SEAL. He's too damn good.
He is sober now. You should have seen him when he was using.
I lvoe Shawn Ryan’s story, a regular man becoming a great warrior, leaving that life overcoming Addiction then making a podcast and UA-cam channel showing stories like his and actually helping people
followed him way back, so glad to see him grow
Thanks for the platform, the things you speak out for, and the voice you give not to only veterans but those wanting truth.
This was incredible! Awesome watch.
Nothing but respect for this man! Salute to you
Loved this interview. Love the Shawn Ryan show too!!
My grandfather was an engineer's mate second class in ww1. My father was in the Vietnam War, and I regret not going to the military, but watching Sean Ryan talk about his experience in the military is uplifting

Taking souls
Guess the problem with goggins was that’s all he wanted to . He liked the training more than the actual operating .. atleast that’s the rumors right
This guy’s very well spoken & funny. He should start a podcast.
You’re joking right?
This is dope. Love his show. Nice to learn more about him vs him learning about other people's story
That was one of the best interviews I have ever seen. Thank you
Thank you for presenting to us how your line of work operates and the conditions you encounter. Very educational.
Shawn Ryan is a true one.
