Tyler Grey grew up in Bakersfield, California, joined the army in 1998 and quickly advanced from training into the 75th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Battalion, spending most of his time there as a Sniper. He spent the rest of his career at Ft. Bragg. Grey deployed four times - two each to Afghanistan and Iraq - before he became disabled from an explosion that occurred during a late-night house raid that turned into a gun-battle in Baghdad in 2005. - Розваги
As a Marine in 2004/2005 I was back home after fighting in Fallujah. I was fine and no destructive behavior. A month later they told us we were going back, this time to Ramadi. I was convinced I was dead already. That self destructive behavior and need for an adrenaline dump was incredible. I drank more, fought more, chased women more than ever before. I needed to feel alive before I died. Combat vets are an unusual bunch and not many people understand us. Everything Tyler said I felt in my core. Glad to see he’s found some peace. This is a topic that can be talked about for days.
Lots of people are unusual and misunderstood, not just vets lol
I hear you, when I came back from IRQ, I didn't recognize the need for the adrenaline dump. I use one of my track days right after I came back as an example where I drove that car around that track, with wanton abandon. I gave 2x shits about crashing, and no thought to getting hurt. Drifting through turns at 100mph+. Drove it so hard I broke the suspension lol. Now, I realize where my mind was and know that I've come a LONG way since. I hate to say "normal" because what the hell is that anyway.
My brother 🤙🏼 I was a senior in high school when 9/11 went down and wanted to be the best so I went to the marine recruiter and he said he couldnt guarantee me that, so I went Army Airborne haha 😆. I was an airborne MP with the 82nd and 18th Airborne out of Ft Bragg and based out of FOB Kalsu and FOB Delta Iraq from March 04 to April 05. My first week at Kalsu, I remember the photo of the contractors bodies hanging from the bridge. One of them an ex-SEAL. a few of us drivers went up to help out in Fallujah and dang brother, mad respect to you fine Marines. Thank you for your service and sacrifice and that of your brothers. May God bless you
That was deep, thanks for sharing brother
Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
I met Tyler about 14 or 15 years ago and he told me if he wasn't successful in the civilian world by a certain time frame he would kill himself. As I looked in his eyes, I realized he was deadly serious. Tyler was nothing but inspiring to me. I prayed that night for his success because the world also needed that inspiration. I'm still cheering for Tyler! RLTW!
Tyler is awesome... And all over the place with different projects. It's crazy how many things he has his hands in behind the scenes.
high and tight, ranger right
As a combat veteran, 3 tours in 7 years, you need to do whatever works for YOU. Family and having people to live for is what made me not pull the trigger.. I don’t love for me anymore, I could care less about myself, I love for my kids and wife, I love it. I’ve been on the edge about to do it, I’ve been pacing and lost..I’ve been to the deepest parts of the “dark side” I’ve lost nearly 20 friends to PTSD…you have to ask for help!
What vices do you have?
JESUS is SON of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR--- SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ
This dude is as bad ass as they come (Delta Force) and still humble. I had a brief heart stoppage about 5 years ago and witnessed that there definitely is a God. 👍
yeah man, about a month ago, with no warning, I saw Christ during his passion lying in front me. Fucking blew my mind and soul. I will also testify that God exists.
@@FourthExile he’s calling you. He wants to know you deeper.
@@Dreammovieofficial Amen brother
@@FourthExile warriors of Christ. I’m training to be a Seal or delta force now. Faith is the most powerful weapon that transcends physicality.
@@Phoenix-tq8lt you must transcend to a higher purpose 🙌
Jon please please please continue the Punisher series. I am 43, when I was kid the Punisher was the only comic I ever read. You definitely embody the role better than anyone
Its looking promising.
Hopefully since daredevil coming back soon there hope for frank to come back to
The deep dive into the psychology of his addiction to self destruction and Jon’s absolute fascination with trying to understand and unpack that to watch and listen to in this clip was amazing. Adrenaline is an addiction.
About half way through my deployment in 04 I got moved to gun the truck for our platoon leader after his gunner went on leave. The guy was the smartest dude I have ever met and had the foresight to understand that we were all going to be addicted to adrenaline rushes after spending so much time in life and death situations.
I remember him smacking my leg during an OP and I look down from the turret and he says something like "so I figure we are probably going to have to meet up every 3 years or so and rob some banks to get the adrenaline fixes we will need now." Hearing it I knew he was right about needing that fix, I just didn't know how often it would be needed or how long it would last. I'm now 40 with a wife and young kids and still get the urge to just blow everything up every now and then
Jon if you see this, this series is helping me. Im not a vet or anything but you truly are a great listener and mentor. Bravo 👏
Delta this fella could bring some dark skies to someone's sunny days . What This man has experienced is beyond anything I can think of. Thank you for your service sir !
I really enjoy seeing this side of actors, the ones like Jon and Gary Sinise, that really have an ability to connect with people and do something bigger than them. Its inspiring and these are awesome!
It’s interesting watching Jon’s facial reactions. He truly is listening and caring, but people who served would’ve chuckled at least twice while the operator was telling his experience. Especially the “where are you god?”
I found myself giggling as well because I know what is like be in those situations and as serious as they are you can't help find something funny about the absurdity of the situation.
you find yourself in the middle of a fire fight and then you have a flat tire and that's when you giggle and think to yourself "REALLY ISN'T THE GUN BATTLE ENOUGH, A FLAT AS WELL" You have to laugh or you will loose it, its been proven to be a form of pressure release in a high stress situation.
Jon is truly invested in listening to what he is being told and you know he is trying to learn a little something from everyone he talks to.
His face distracts me lol....I’m hyper aware of the fact that a good actor’s face is looking intrigued. I mean I assume he’s interested etc
But I guess I just distrust an actor seeming authentic especially when they’re seeming extra sincere/present/focused
***edit
But I guess he wouldn’t be doing the show if he was that phony. It would be highly disrespectful to not be all in while having someone revisit experiences like that
@@davidaldridge5716 late reply but he has a pretty good track record so far with podcasts, always very respectful and asks the right questions, I think even for an actor it would be hard to fake this level of intrigue, at leas to me Jon seems very genuine.
Totally get your outlook on actors as a whole though! I think Jon is the good apple in the tree out if the bunch
@@eclipped I’ve listened to a few discussions since....he does seem curious and sincere in a real way
@@eclipped That's interesting. Reminds me of a thought I had about when actors are channeling certain traits for a role, where it comes from and how different the process can be.
It seems like some actors can just imagine and embody the traits of any character like a chameleon, and there are others who give equally powerful performances but for them it seems like part of that character exists within them in some form that they can draw from. Maybe it's Bernthal's personality to be genuinely intrigued and empathetic which comes through in these interviews, and it's a skill he uses as an actor.
I still remember the Delta recruitment once a year when I was in the deuce. 1300hrs in York theater on Ardennes.... RESPECT!
Jon is a great listener and talker!
I love him playing Trent on seal team. Great actor and amazing man.
jon ur killin it man! loving the podcasts
Fuck yeah. This is old school pioneer good shit that’s bad ass & I fucking love it. Rock on 🙏🏼
Thank you for sharing this! I really miss seeing full episodes here on UA-cam.
Jon is so pure i hope he starts bringing more full podcasts out

@GHØST do you think he profits from it or goes to charities?
@@poundlandrolex3632 i dont know but im pretty sure he is able to donate to charitiy without patreons
Spotify yall
Total respect for both of you!
Great stuff! Easy to root for both guys. Looking forward to seeing more from this channel!
I hope you are doing well in these crazy times, Jonny. Love you ☮️
Recently found this gem of a podcast keep it up man.
Amazing episode ! It’s so good to see Tyler again since Seal Team !
Love this interview
Jon's fantastic at these interviews. Very good listener. Keep it up!
Absolutely love this pod.
Fist time watching and man I’m hooked you’re doing an awesome job!
Love these podcasts Jon. Keep it up brother
This podcast is pure gold.
loving the podcasts dude keep up the great work!
Great podcast, Totally feeling it Tyler!
Great conversation 🙏🏻
Thanks for your service 🙏
I simply love your video style, truly refreshing and creative.
Big Ups Jon! Love and Respect from the DMV! Thank You for All You Do!
I’ve been a big fan of Tyler Grey since that Selection show. Just seems like a good dude, but the EPITOME of a humble warrior. When he talks, it’s like he can’t say enough. Story telling game on point!
Fantastic Jon, you will always be my favorite in TWD, and you were amazing in Mob City, Fury, WTC, The Accountant, and lets not forget, as Sgt Rodriguez in THE PACIFIC. Love you brother, keep the podcasts going.
I fucking love TG. This clip really makes me want to see the whole ep. Great conversation Jon. 👊🏼
Peace to you, brother. And peace to fellow Veterans.
Great Interview
I’m so happy I found this. Jon is a man’s man. Rescues Pitbulls, Boxing, acting, etc
He is not a mans man unless he raise children. If he dont, he is a manchild. I dont know if he is a familyman. Do you?
@@jolin8493 he’s got three kids, what are you on about? It’s quicker to google that than to type your comment
@@thekitchenvillain i dont google much tho, personal reasons, but thanx for informing. Yes, he is a mans man!
These interviews are fucking amazing. Good work, Jon.
Tyler-if you read this-the Lord didn’t reveal Himself to you in that moment because He is the Prince of Peace, and you would have been ok letting your fight go and then passed if you had.
He needed you to stay in the fight because His purpose for you is not complete! You will encounter His peace one day, and then you’ll know what I’m talking about. Love you brother-be safe! The Lord loves you more than you’ll ever know!
How refreshing to have a UA-cam channel about truth. This is what the platform can be. Thank you, Jon. BTW, I love your work, too. When I see you on a cast list, I know that the filmmakers know what they're doing. Much love, brother. X
Got done reading "we own the city" wed night and binged the entire show today. I love everything Bernthal does, and I love this show. Keep it up, it bridges the gap from the prolific acting work you do - which is never enough. You bring a certain raw level of humanity to your acting and to life here with these legends.
Love tyler grey man…thats what a real badass looks like folks. Salute bro and thanks for your service
Not sure how I'm just seeing this, but one of the better interviews on the subject I've seen 👏🙏
Delta Force... So much respect.
Thankful to all the men and women in service.
All Glory to God, glad brave men risk their lives for us Americans. God bless you Jon for doing this podcast brother.
You are a great actor 👍!
Fascinating. Good stuff love your content Mr Bernthal. Love your work on screen and the passionate interests you pursue off. New Sub
Great episode
What a great deep dive into a bit of psychology and addiction not to mention self discovery. Wow. Great content!!!
This is so true. I was always throwing myself into dangerous situations. Jumping off my roof as a kid, and fighting people bigger than me. Kept getting back up. Like going homeless on purpose and smoking those m30s and surviving overdoses and stuff. Right before I died I finally found what I was looking for and I even said “I finally feel comfortable for the first time in my life.” Then I died right after and went blue. Then I realized the truth. Life is pain. But it is what you should seek, pain instead of comfort, because comfort will lead to even more pain than pain itself. I am now addicted to pain.
Keep ‘em coming
Love him in Seal Team, great show!
Jon I love what you are doing and please don't stop. You have a gift that opens individuals up and they can express themselves. Stay on this path and F' Hollywood. I haven't seen a movie in years because the industry is that messed up with SO MUCH CORRUPTION, PERVSION AND THEFT OF LIFE! My mum and my grandfather's side of the family has a history in Hollywood. I absolutely HATE Hollywood and whats its done to people. Bless you brother!!
Tyler is the man.
Absolutely amazing
For those that really enjoyed this clip or the full interview, I recommend tracking down Tyler's documentary "That Which I Love Destroys Me".
I’m usually not that interested by what actors/celebrities have to say. Jon is an exception. Definitely down with this podcast keep it up man 🤙🏼👍🏼
Just found out you do a podcast and I’m already a huge fan so for sure had to sub!!!
He's right, once you have been at that level coming down is hard really hard, I came home and found myself starting arguments with people, for the dumbest things just to feel that rush, that need to fight was ingrained in me and was the reason I failed a psych evaluation and was turned down for the police, so I signed up again and went back to Afghan.
I now have days where I'm OK and can tick over like a normal person and other days I have to find "busy work" to do or I just start looking for stupid things to do that I know will get me in trouble but that risk is a buzz and can cause arguments and that increases the chances of getting into a fight.
Finding something constructive to focus on keeps me level but I will always have those days where I would go back to Iraq and or Afghanistan in a heart beat.
This is a good podcast.. One of my favorites… I think Jon is a Natural Fit for this…
Jesus how did i not know about John having his own channel.
I subscribed. Love ya John
Ps
You are the best Punisher
God i miss that series
Love Jon .. such a good dude.
So many stories like this, kinda unexplained, had similar situation, Iraq 2006 shouldn't be here, but definite intervention from unexplained forces, we would share these stories with our brotherhood, awesome mate.
The adrenaline is the most addicted. Harsh work environments do the most to add. John feel the flight deck and operations of the Navy ship. Spend 1 week and see how close it can feel to Tyler. Thank you sir for your service.
Wanted to see Tyler Grey on more podcasts.
There’s a local group of vets in my state who started a group called xsports4vets I went on a trip with them river boarding I really needed it. As a vet who got out in 2011 I chased that adrenaline high for years nearly killing myself more than once. I finally settled with fighting Mma which lead to me getting sober but I still crave those challenges from time to time
One of the biggest regrets I have is not joining the military .. too old now but I admire these heroes so much. Ya it’s gruesome and probably a living hell but the experience and the lessons and the bonds have to be one of a kind. And can’t forget about self pride knowing you served your country.
I understand the bond thing, but you might find that to in for example the firefighters. But if you want to experience shit or a kind of hell, go try and help addicts, prostitues, etc in bad neighbourhoods. The misery you will see there will change you. The good part is, you can help people without killing others....
Seal Team is my absolute favorite show 🔱🤟
I really want to see this whole episode.
Wow.. just wow, to hear my favorite actor have a conversation with a hero like this is insane. Really speechless, but it’s so inspirational to listen to thank you
I had no idea The Punisher has a podcast!
Thanks to The UA-cams!
I have a self destructive nature - Extreme sports has become my outlet where the need for adrenaline and finding the edge has met up with realizing that my destiny to live or die is all in the care i put into my training and analysis of every obstacle i jump off or every wreck i dive etc. - this is where the balance has come for me... The risk that i need to be there is there.... But the training and OCD in preparation is also there to greatly improve the chances of survival.
I love how Jon is doing these podcasts. He could be doing anything he wants...traveling, hanging with gorgeous women and his movie star friends, living life to the fullest, etc etc. But here he is taking his time to hear about us disabled vets from OIF/OEF. He truly is a Real One. I help disabled vets because I am one, I can tell Jon gives a shit (which is rare) ... to me, that makes him a cut above the rest of Hollywood.
I'm blown away! I can only think of John as his Fury character. Holy shit!!! I believe that character so much that I'm struggling to understand what I'm seeing.
A true master of the craft.
I met Jon at C2E2 back in 2011 when he was just coming off Shane in Walking Dead. I was between deployments and chatted with him a bit just to tell him he was awesome in The Pacific and he thanked me for what I was doing and handed me a free autograph. Dude is real AF
Wow didnt know jon had a pod cast talking to vets. Much respect to both of you guys. Really cool that your doing this kind of content man.
I enjoy Jon on this platform way more than his acting. This is great. As for my man from Delta land, damn what he says hits home. Military minds think alike no matter what anyone says. Still struggling with my own self destruction and thrill chasing. Stay strong brother.
Fascinating.
Pushing the envelope
Passed the sticky part
Good stuff
on adrenaline "once you got it, your always looking for it again". im convinced this is why dudes get hooked on riding fast sportbikes. its no coincidence alot of military dudes ride sportbikes
Go jon and tyler!
I love your podcasts and guests…..but what’s with the full episodes only being on patreon?!
yeah i wish they would just be on youtube , Don’t like pay walls
I can totally relate to what this guy says about the self-destruction.
I have poignant memories as a 9-10 year old boy, sitting in the woods, and thinking to myself…”I’m a martyr. I’m here to make mistakes because I know I’ll survive it, to show the people around me what not to do and why.”
I see it in how I parent my kids.
When I tell them no and they ask why…I don’t say, “Because I said so”, like so many billions of other kids hear.
I have a laundry list of reasons and I am honest with my kids about it, lol.
And I have awesome kids. They’re not stealing anyone’s oxygen, they’re naturally immune to woke shit, they have respect for others, and a badass sense of humor.
What he said about people who just can’t wrap their minds around how you can exist that way is spot on.
The trick is not wasting your energy trying to explain it because words will never do it justice.
And the universe is my w/e you want to call it too.
I make agreements with it based on reason and decency.
I do w/e I want when I want. I just make sure I’m not stepping on someone else’s toes when I do it. And everything always works out.
Matter of fact, 90% of the time, someone else has an epiphany from just being around it.
Awesome conversation. Sorry to get all talky but this came outta nowhere and checked all the boxes, lol.
Great talk fellas and 100 fucking %. My addiction was women as well. A second wife and 3 kids subdued that which resurfaced in hardcore enduro dirt bikes and skydiving. Still can’t reach the same level
I’ll another combat vet dude. When I got back they sent me to learn TM and at the point before they gave me my own personal”private mantra” they wanted me to bring like some fresh fruit, flowers, and a white napkin to make an offering to some guru and that’s when the Faith from my childhood kicked in and said “don’t do that. Remember learning that Bible verse, You’re God is a jealous God and he’ll have no other God’s before me.” That’s what put me back on the track to Catholicism. Ask Shia, he’ll tell you. That’s what you’re looking for. It will make sense of all your questions and blow your mind along the way. I can’t wait to watch Padre Pio. Watch it too.
“You don’t want to die from this, that’d be fuckin stupid!” 🤣. Hell yeah, thank you for sharing! Glad you’re still with us.
Punisher is purfect...
Yo hold tf on, and actor doing this is dope
For many of us, it comes down to “changing how we feel.” We may use alcohol, gambling, women, adrenaline dumps, etc. my experience is that I’m eternally I grateful I was given the “gift of desperation” and realized something needed to change because I was a walking deadman.
That guy on the left looks like the Punisher!
SEAL TEAMS BIG FAN!! TRREEEYY💪🇨🇦
I think Tony Ferguson UFC fighter would be perfect guest on Jon podcast
Tyler Grey what a good fuckin dude and so is Bernthal 👍🤙🖖🖖
Trent from seal team talking to the Frank Castle punisher, what are the odds, great podcast.
Last time I felt adrenaline was when I went bungie jumping off a bridge for the first time. I guess I'm lucky that I didn't become an addict but now nothing I do phases me. Haven't been in combat though, missed the boat on that one.
I needed this so much today. Im really struggling with the choices Ive made lately that ended up hurting people (emotionally hurt thank god). I want to jump all in on the faith thing, but if you look around at this world and what people do to each other... it seems impossible. But I can embrace spirituality and the desire to be a better person. And ultimately spirituality that leads to caring about people and wanting to do service.
ps
Check this guy out on the most amazing reality show Ive ever see n: The Selection. Its on youtube.
Someone explain. Does Bernthal have a tv show? Web series? Podcast? What is this? Asking as a fan - Season 1 of Punisher was amazing. I'm a reserve officer in the military, and while I am NOT tacti-cool, I bought him as a Marine.
