The burden men feel for decisions of command is well illustrated in Gimli's saga. While Mr. Hallatt was not an officer, he had the responsibility to the rest of the team to not lose the entire team over one man. These are heart rending decisions to make and for men to have to live with their entire lives. Witnessing a man wrestle with a decision to preserve the team was hard to watch. Great job Ronnie in letting Wayne tell his story.
First time in a while that I've watched an entire 2-hour podcast, while glued to my fucking screen. This guy is incredibly intelligent and very well-spoken. He needs to go on a few more big podcasts before he leaves North America. This man is so articulate and had me shaking the entire time. If more people heard his war stories it could have could have a extraordinary impact on the war.
Fascinating account from a former NCO from my former Canadian unit. To be fair, though I was likely already transferred to the reserves by the time Wayne joined. A lot of guys toyed with doing this sort of thing during the Cold War years and the decade of darkness that immediately followed. Here's a guy who put his money where his mouth is. He certainly has my respect.
Holy shit what an incredible first show! I have been watching this channel since the beginning of Afghanistan and I feel honored to have watch you guys grow and bring very neccessary context to the many pointless conflicts. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart!
@@Johnny-pj5cn doesnt matter just wanted to say it if they see great if not I got it off my chest
Me too, back when it was Funkers personal channel, when I found it. I came originally to watch Canadian footage in Afghanistan. Edit: And also I forgot to say it was a great 1st Episode, hope for many more. 🤘🏻 Now make a Yeti in Black with the Funker Logo (powder coated if possible) and a cool Hoddie and or T-Shirt with the Funker530 logo where a left breast pocket would be, and some cool meme on the back. Sorry, I don’t like clothes with huge prints on the front.
Awww man what a powerful and honest interview in its rawest form. This is what people need to see to really understand war.
Respect to Wayne Hallatt. Watched all of it.
Ronnie, great job.
Putting such a personal story to the footage is a
perfect next step.
This man is incredibly well-spoken. would love to see him on more podcasts, breaking down footage or telling war stories.
hes barely able to form sentences

IMHO this is not just an interview. This is a historical first.
Interviewing a guy who is giving a play by play from video FPV is historical. I’m sure military has FPV with soldiers AARs but if any one knows of another interview from FPV, Birds Eye, and multiple angles that’s available to the General public would love to see it.
Bro, please hug this men. He really needs it. A true warrior but I think he needs a break. Everyone needs a break once a while! Grüße and thanks a lot for this!
ghey.
Thanks to all the Veterans who have served and are serving our countries 🙏
Fnking epic start Funker team. I've followed Funker from long ago when there was , even then, a mass amount of footage now lost as I understand. Your team hit a home run right out of the gate in your new studio. Well done, and Ronnie at bad either.
"If you can move, move. And if you can move, don't stop"
Fucking love that.
This is one of the best interviews from the war that I've heard yet great job letting him just tell his story please do more
Wayne I'm beyond happy that you're still alive! I shouldn't have doubted you when you said you're going to Ukraine to fight. I knew you had the plane ticket last we spoke, I told you not to die out there to some fkn drone. We talked a lot while you were feeding the dishwasher for a few months before you left. Good luck out there Wayne
seeing these bad ass dudes choke up with emotion was making me choke up, being willing to talk about this stuff is beyond human. thank you for sharing your experience with the world it is needed thank you for your service
well done Ronnie and great first guest.
This has to be about the best content on the tube rn. I've been promoting the hell outta it too. Thanks for doing the interview Wayne, take care of yourself, I wish you a speedy recovery. Need to follow Chosen Company alittle more closely. Ronnie great interview man, changes the flow when the interviewer actually knows the source material from experience. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
I wasn't expecting a linguist. I wasn't expecting poetry. I also wasn't expecting to be so totally engrossed by this man's experiences told with such honesty and conviction. My utmost respect goes out to Wayne for his service not only to my country of Canada but to Ukraine as well. Respect also to Ronnie for providing us with such an outstanding, skillful interview.
"Not good scoobies" is something I'm definitely living by from now on.
Awesome podcast, guys. It has given so much more insight on what's happening on the ground in Ukraine.
Ronnie and the guys at Funker: you are doing great and important work here!
Да нихуя вы не понимаете что происходит на украине. И этот черт с видео так же не понимает, не смотря на то, сто участвовал в войне. Мозгов ему это не добавило. Они едут там в надежде повоевать с аборигенами, на стороне других аборигенов. Но когда оказывается что аборигенов там нет в принципе - быстро поджав хвосты мотают на родину.
И потом сидят шутят на стримах по поводу своих погибших "братьев по оружию". Позорище.
World class. Next level for Funker, a channel I’ve known for so long. This has put you guys on a completely different plane.
I’m so happy it’s finally a podcast! I listen to podcasts all day while I’m working. So now I will be able to enjoy my favorite UA-cam show, but while I’m working!
Amazing guest Fantastic job Funker crew i look forward to more.
Extremely good interview! Ronnie knows to ask many damn interesting and right questions.
I've been looking forward to this
Outstanding interview! Thank you for the video, many thanks to Wayne and men like him for their service.
Hey Ronnie, I love the new version of the show, I love the context that is now provided
I totally understand its your first time as a host, but, just a constructive criticism: stop trying to reframe what the guest says in a way that is more palatable to you. His words and his message are his, up to the audience to digest. That being said, i look forward to future content, great podcast.
Just let him answer without your spin.
Funking Awesome Ronnie !!! YOU D'A MAN !!!! Great new show. Thank you.
Thank you guys.
Captivating. Every minute. Don’t listen to douches who have the attention span and intellect of a mosquito, complaining about a lack of video or graphic context during this fantastic interview. I watched every second of that interview and for what it’s worth, must commend you on your professional, respectful, focused approach to allowing him to tell his story, while sticking to the overall game plan / format that y’all had in mind. Please keep this up! Don’t change a thing. F the trolls.
Thank you for this.
Superb show Ronnie. We truly have not helped enough in Ukraine short of our boots on the ground.
Thank you for the great podcast. I found it very informative
Ronnie shitting on reddit was the happiest momment of the week for me so far.
Great interview! Thank you Ronnie. I am Looking in from Canada.
Excellent interview, long, but very informative and easy to listen to. Keep up guys!
Incredible interview.
Awesome interview. Thanks for your insides
You mean insights.... I hope
@@trevorsigmon9500we did see his xray shrapnel pics, kinda works.
Gotta appreciate him , here 💩 have some of my insides as well!😊
Ronnie this new format is great and you did a great job managing this interview. Look for to more.
Damn this was heavy. Also a very insightful episode. Thanks Dirty P for what you've done. Thanks Funkerteam, and great job Ronnie, good questions, very objective.
Great interview! A real mans man right there!
Good Podcast. Good man🙏
Damn good podcast. Awesome to hear the context behind a video. Great insights.
43:00 hell no Russia don't care about their troops' lives. As an outsider looking in, it seems to me life has been cheap in that land for a long, long, long time.
thanks for this and happy birthday as per usual.
wonderful video
Wooow, now this is what we can call some real content, I was like damn 3 hours... and I just couln't stop watching, that doesn't mean that the other shows are not good, in the contrary, I love what this channel is doing ! And all my respect goes to the heoric fighters fighting for our values ! fighting for asleeped Europe, fighting for the rest of us ! Slava Ukraine !
Thanks for Great video, cudos to Pete 🤟
I wish I could like this more then just a click
jesus christ, the story about him rescuing the wounded guys with no guns and other equipment, under fire and through a mindfield AND 1 enemy drone is some medal of honor stuff.....
Crazy stuff man.
As a fellow Canadian, this guy is par for the course for our Warfighters. Poet-warrior.
The last casualty number I heard for Russia that's creditable is 300,000 Plus. This is dead not injured.
Ukrainians is somewhere around 6-700,000 dead wounded they say are close to a million.
Thanks Wayne for all your service to Canada for all those years, and your representation with the motley crue of international badasses in Chosen. For those of us who can't, we appreciate what you do to fight off the invaders and help Ukraine protect itself. Stay strong. 🤜🏼💥
Congratulations on the show Ronnie. Happy Birthday from AZ Oblast 🎉
My dude hell yeah
Great discussion. Looking forward to the future of Funker
Thanks Wayne for calling these assholes out.
Good content
Happy belated birthday Ronnie!
Shawn ryan show type interview! Outstanding brother
But the Shawn Ryan show does it better. These guys need to stick to what they were doing before, because that was unique
"Fack around and find oot, eh?"
What a guy.
fantastic stuff. keep on trucking, greetings from german rom a dude beign around from before the great youtube purge ;)
I fucking loved this, thank you Funker530 Team, Wayne, Chosen Company, Ukraine.
Heroyam slava, all the best to you all.
Great interview, goob job. Best of luck Chosen.
🇨🇦 ✊🏻
✊🏻🇨🇦 warfighters, but 🖕🏻the 🇨🇦 Government and anyone that voted for Mr. Dressup, and 🖕🏻Trudeau for soiling the name Mr. Dressup.
@@Len_M.If it makes you feel any better, according to the least poles the Libs have a 99% chance of losing the next election. It's already been predicted that this will be a record loss in Canadian politics.
Why do my comments disappear? Like UA-cam or whoever go 🖕🏻yourself.
Gone again… quit messing with my posts! I must be on manual review. Did I say something naughty? 😂
@Len_M. Yeah UA-cam censors anything it doesn't like. Welcome to communism
This is great content. Thanks for doing the interview Wayne. Take care of yourself. RIP Swede 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
This guy is fuken legend.. great interview.
May your beard grow ever longer.
Time always heals
Thank you ❤
This was a hard listen. Keep bringing these story’s into the light Ronnie.
Love the long forum like shawn. Reason I watch and wear a hat weekly analysis sudo news. Marry the two...
Patricia Company 🇨🇦❤❤❤
❤
This is awesome. Thank you.
wow incredible insite
Has Wayne spoken to his Member of Parliament? He needs to share his experience to more Canadians.
Absolutely agree. There are many Canadians who've served/are serving in Ukraine, and we would greatly benefit from hearing their experience on a national level. Makes me proud to be Canadian.
That was rough... And i now have urge to send everyhing what i have to Ukraine...
Thank you Wayne and all those in the Chosen Company for everything that you do for Ukraine. We love you all and can't thank enough for your heroic work! 💙💛
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
💪💪💪
I’m here for this
I’m very glad they showed that BSter who claimed to fight off 3,000 Ruzzzzians
Dude seemed like an absolute cooker lol wtf
How much crystal you think that guy snorted before he made that video?
P.P.C.L.I outstanding Regiment.
Oh my gosh... i have sooo much respect for you wayne. Thank you soooo much for your service!
Slava Ukrainii!
Love the interview BTW
Amazing, visceral and engrossing. Thanks.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you
If the pkm didnt have those connected links be goated
Is there a P.O. Box we can send stuff? I have a LPVO I no longer need or have a use for I can’t find anyone that’s willing to sell it or take it
Send it to me I’ll take it:)
👍🏻🔥
👏👏👏👏💪👏👏👏
Video issue: 16 mins in or so noticeable auto focus issues when Ron starts talking with his hands in front of the camera. (Tie his hands together is the AI suggested comment here lol Did you kick a Roomba or something). Great episode thus far going to continue watching.
❤ 3 hr almost wow great story love hearing a fellow Canuck talk
👍
👍🤙
Congrats on episode one!
Interviewers focus on the timeline and the where and who is very good. The reframing of points made by the interviewee can be a problem, but it can also be useful to make sure you're on the same page, and it doesn't seem insistent to me
Sub earned
Wishing Wayne, his Company and all of Ukraine the best. Wishing you health and happiness. No Slack!
🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦
Ukraine is screwed, lol
