First met this man in 2001, He was a CP tutor at a security school I went to. My father also served 1NZSAS Gp before and during Barrie's time. Barrie was one of the reasons why I joined the Army, his straight up the guts no fuck around mentality was inspiring. Top Man Great Podcast 👍🏽
Brilliant interview! Barrie is a legend. Please interview Willie Apiata VC, NZ-SAS . As a corporal in the NZ SAS he became a recipient of the Victoria Cross for New Zealand for bravery under fire during the War in Afghanistan in 2004, in which he carried a gravely wounded comrade across a battlefield, under fire, to safety.
Why is it the Navy Medic who ran and tended the wounded under extreme fire couldn't get it because she was a she? Carrying full pack and her not higher than a grasshopper. She got the Military Cross. Katie Nesbit aged 18 at the time.
I’m a Kiwi so I gravitated to this one instantly. I’m a big fan of the channel, this one is right up there with some of the grittiest, compelling and insightful of a life far from ordinary being lived by a fellow kiwi. Thanks for sharing Barrie, keep smashing the great content Dodge! Ngā mihi 💪🙏
He was amazing in the movie The Hurt Locker ! I’m American and I appreciate this man for his service for his country and what great advice he provides to every young man throughout this interview.❤
Awesome Bazz, great to see you after so many years, have just read your book, like yourself I was a hard drinker, I gave up on the 18th October 1989, am still dry, but in the back of my mind is one fact that will never go away, once an alcoholic always an alcoholic.. Keep Safe, Keep Strong, Keep Upright..
i was born in iraq, i left to new zealand when i was 3. proud kiwi ..... i love youre podcast this one hits different, much respect to you Barrie Rice, thank you for another good one Woodall
So pleased you are here in New Zealand my fellow Kiwi and you have been given a chance at a better life, it’s sad that a better life could not have been possible in Iraq. But you are safe and happy and I am so happy for you x
Barrie is a Top Man, he was a CP tutor many years ago in Akl, although my father served before and during his time, it was Barrie that inspired me to join up... Onward
Many of us would love to meet up with you again, Baz. You gave us powerful insights we have never forgotten. A Brilliant man, and definitely someone you never forget.
You got the very best out of Baz Dodge …a very tough man with so many layers of life which we were lucky to get a small insight into .. The world needs men like Baz ..
Barrie Rice . Please come back to NZ and run for Prime Minister . I’m a 5th generation pakeha , and I would vote for you in a heartbeat . Power to you brother . God bless
@@FKTHESYSTEM063 a lot of people figured out the .. why .. part straight away ,, let them off to dob ya in for illegal cargo .. big lag .. take them , dump them .. dump cargo .. scuttle boat up pacific .. hopefully , no lag plus your earn .. just ignore the ketch mr ex drug squad ladder climber and use the media ..//
I was in Iraq as a PSD operator the same time as Barrie. We met up in Basrah Air Station when I was with Cochise and he was with Blackwater, back in 2005. Nice bloke.
The Judicial system is what it is bro, all governments follow it. We don't have industry in Aotearoa bro, when I grew up in a small kiwi town, everyone had a trade, boilermakers, train drivers, cloth cutters etc etc ... and then our National government (later followed by the other party) got into the Globalization buzz and sent all our industry overseas, and then governments privatized everything and got rid of apprenticeships. All we need is industry, manufacturing and trained by the likes of Hoki and Cabbage or apprenticeships, give our people pride and dignity in themselves and the work they do. Good one Barry
@Dodgewoodhall Would love you to ask Barrie if he ever served with the ex NZ SAS member of the famous Bravo Two Zero patrol who was shot in the arm and ancle and captured in Iraq in '91. Cheers 😎👍
This was brilliant but also sad. We really don’t know how blessed we are do we. This fits honest was so touching. A true hero imo. As always dodge , you just seem to be so in tune with your guests and know when to ask and when to just let them talk . This one really was emotional . Something has to happen world over to help veterans it’s ridiculous how badly they get treated
Great interview. Pulled at the heart strings a couple of times listening to Baz talk about his life. We get to live the lives that we do in the west because of men like this.
Sadly Churchill was a coward , a racist and said disabled ppl should be left to die so personally I think it’s an insult that he gets even mentioned alongside brave men like this guy.
Churchill lied to Australia and New Zealand, we were attacked and had no back up to what Winston promised us , we had to bring our troops home even though Churchill was furious, we both then leaned on the US and they leaned on us for a defense of the Pacific.
Great show...... been to New Zealand and this guy is a real Kiwi, a very honest interview..... and you can see that he lives and breathes the regiment and his comrades, the Uk and his own country are very lucky that these men are on our side, the way he explains the mis-trust of government for the war in Iraq, I believe we were all sold down the river, and Blair and Bush should be held to account..... shameful!
wow, Churr my brother. Thankyou for sharing your life experiences. You have much Mana and honesty that makes my faith in humanity stronger. Thankyou Dodge I like your way of interviewing. Bless
A carabiner is what an old SAS told me to have on me while I was working on the door of a pub one night. We talked for a while, and man, some of the stories he talked about were unbelievable. Salute to you, Mr Rice.
I’m from New Zealand. I’m gonna buy this book. This some how popped up on my UA-cam feed and now I’m eager to read this book. Thank you for this podcast absolutely incredible
Great interview of a humble human being and what he went thru to achieve his goal and the price he paid after getting there to achieve security for his family. Also the personal pain and suffering of seeing others suffer as consequence of greed and ambition of those who only seek to cause misery to others in their quest for power and self enrichment. The Lord was watching over him for a greater purpose in his life.
Your doing a great job with these podcasts lately dodge... I love the mix between the military and business side you put out. Weirdly, I don't even really care about the military or running a business but find the podcasts fascinating. I listen to every one.
I'm a kiwi and I loved this interview. I have read a lot of books and watched a lot of these interviews. What an amazing humble good guy it seems. Run for PM of NZ :)
I found this very insightful. Having known and met some of these kiwi guys, never really understanding the full story of what they have seen and been through. Tough and humble for sure
Total Bad Ass but as most Kiwi's I've had the absolute privilege of working with over the years very very understated,looks & sounds like a History Teacher 😂 Seems like a true "Pilgrim" though :0] "We are the Pilgrims, master: we shall go Always a little further: it may be beyond that last blue mountain barred with snow, across that angry or that glimmering sea
On my home time Barrie, I monitored Travk24 and Blue Tracker ffs. I’d look for any reason to get back to IQ. (Route Irish - the route that keeps on getting it up. You remember that IED every morning at 6 bells at checkpoint 12 ? We went down to Fallujah also Barries after that event. What happened, happened.
This was amazing. Makes me wonder if a mandatory military service is required for NZ. Where all Men, and women, from the age of 18 - 30 must do 2 years. Teach em discipline, respect and work ethic. Food for thought #GodDefendNZ 🇳🇿
a family member of mine was asked to be attached to SAS but they said no, even after many years of really wanting to do it. Also hit the nail on the head regarding all the issues here in NZ.
Barrie, I served in NZ defence like you and worked along side some of your fellow team members in Bosnia (you would know who those characters were). What an emotional interview mate. Thank you so much for sharing. My close mates also ex NZ defence almost ended up on the same circuit you did in Iraq….glad they didn’t end up going. I have heard of some others who did and as you describe, they didint cope to well on returning. It was the lire of the money and I get that. Looking forward to reading about your experiences. Chur bro
Barry, respect your position and achievement in the squadron 🙏. It's always difficult discussing complex issues such as drugs, gangs, and Civil breakdown. Leadership and the justice system are a major part of the problem, this repeats itself all over the world. Harder laws more prisons don't work. Appreciate the podcast 👍
I cant say how much i enjoyed listening to a good kiwi man who speaks the truth and i can respect! This is the rolemodel our young people need and how i like to think of New Zealand men should aim to be! Respect! Especially to our Maori country men in the armed forces. Enjoyed litening to this interview more than anything i have watched in this mad woke country in a long time.
100% Many of our Maori men pretty much are unsung heroes and I mean those who work on the roads, forests, truckers, power lines, freezing workers, military, as well as in white collar jobs also - you name it. Hard working men. It's the gang guys that sadly give Maori a bad rap. I am part Maori and I always have much respect for my brothers.
@@DodgeWoodall Highly doubt you would get Willie & if he did he would not speak one word about the SAS ,,he was gutted devastated he was outed .Very very usually for any kiwi sas ex sas to ever speak one word about it ,i used to work with one he was a best mate,, RIP Andy,, my drinking buddy i hooked him up with woman he was like a brother & could never get one word from him apart from all i can tell you is i used to jump out of aeroplanes very different from the British sas .That guy loves money he said the word 20 times he has wrote a book for cash he has sold out .Honestly i doubt Willie would even give that guy the time of day .If you have seen the doco on Willie you would how they roll here the sas had to force Willie to speak he was refusing to & everytime he was asked a question he looked at his commander who was sitting next to him & the commander answered it .Willie don't talk sas & don't talk on one thing he has done with them or in conflict only thing Willie is going to tell you is your mother dresses you funny & to lay off the sun bed bro you are gonna get skin cancer .
@@jonsmith6982 Youre speaking out of your arse.How many of these ex special forces have written books or is it just this guy youve got a problem with.Another Maori Ex SAS Joe Hotai,go and blast his podcast.If youve been alive for awhile youd realize its pretty well out in the open now,their training and tours of duty.I didnt see this guy spouting about who he killed or anything like that or hiding the fact that in his line of work he chose he got paid.Theres an article by an ex navy seal on members trying to pulldown the likes of Jocko and Goggins,he said guys theres a life other than in the army,make the most of your skills in the outside world.
@@jonsmith6982you do realise Willie Apiata has a book as well don’t you? Also if you actually listen to what Barry says here, there is very little said about the SAS outside of the training, and when speaking about Iraq etc, he is speaking from a private citizen’s point of view as he was there working for a private company.
What a powerful episode. Dodge you are a superb interviewer allowing your subject the space, yet still guiding the narrative. I've just ordered Baz's book. Best Podcasts around mate.
Drink had me on a slippery path, not quite to the same extent as Barrie, but it certainly had it's grip on me. It took a jarring incident to release me from it's grip and change my life course. That was nearly 11 years ago now and am truly grateful alcohol is no longer a part of my life. What he said really resonated. Another fantastic conversation.....another book to add to the list 😅
Well... that was bloody well worth the watch and listen wasn't it! I maybe slightly bias being that I am a kiwi. Haha So glad I came across your content. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Im a Kiwi watching Barrie and yourself Dodge. My background is from the UK military and I have lived my life away from NZ which I dearly love, but compared to where I currently live with a certain Arch enemy just over the fence the thought of going back to such a shit state in my own country leaves me thinking that it better overseas
Dodge - dude. You got a big subscribe from me. I've always watched Diary of a CEO with that Stephen guy. However, he always gets the same kind of folk (which is not bad), health, motivation, relationships, improving finances and lifestyle, researchers etc. You have attacked those same important lifestyle improvements, but have done it tangentially - with kick butt, bad>>> dudes from real life. We can all improve and learn from their experiences. This show was riveting.
Kia ora Baz, still looking the same bro. Good to see and hear you're ok. Im glad to learn the skills off you and Tank. Nga mihi bro. Awesome interview.👍

Put tears to my eyes
First met this man in 2001, He was a CP tutor at a security school I went to. My father also served 1NZSAS Gp before and during Barrie's time. Barrie was one of the reasons why I joined the Army, his straight up the guts no fuck around mentality was inspiring.

Great Podcast 👍🏽
One of the best podcast episodes I've seen, especially with a military guest. As an Aussie I love seeing and learning more about our NZ neighbours.
The ANZAC spirit my brother Aussie. Best to you from Auckland, NZ

That man is a true legend , to go trough all of that and to provide good for people at the end of it all is truly Amazing

Absolute quality that was. Honest, humble, and hard as nails. All the best to the pair of you. ❤

I gotta go with Shawn Ryan but this channel is very good as well and I’m very picky
Strongly agree

Great interview. Pulled at the heart strings a couple of times listening to Baz talk about his life. We get to live the lives that we do in the west because of men like this.
Great interview Dodge. Kiwi SAS very highly rated by the British and Aussie military.
As Churchill said...
"We sleep safely at night because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would harm us."
Sadly Churchill was a coward , a racist and said disabled ppl should be left to die so personally I think it’s an insult that he gets even mentioned alongside brave men like this guy.
Churchill lied to Australia and New Zealand, we were attacked and had no back up to what Winston promised us , we had to bring our troops home even though Churchill was furious, we both then leaned on the US and they leaned on us for a defense of the Pacific.
George Orwell (not Churchill)
@anderssongibbs9013 yes, but used by Churchill I believe. Anyway I think its a poignant phrase whatever the case
Hi Barrie.
Like to help you survive the next 15 year. ( I'm from a mil family also, age 77).
Spot on Barrie reference your comments on NZ politics, gangs, drugs, societal issues etc. I also commend your honesty reference the job.
Hes talking about the new Zealand he left 30 years ago... He'd be disgusted at the state of our country now....😊
Great show...... been to New Zealand and this guy is a real Kiwi, a very honest interview..... and you can see that he lives and breathes the regiment and his comrades, the Uk and his own country are very lucky that these men are on our side, the way he explains the mis-trust of government for the war in Iraq, I believe we were all sold down the river, and Blair and Bush should be held to account..... shameful!
It's still going on right now. Ukraine, Middle East, etc etc.
They lied, they said there were weapons of mass destruction and there wasnt, they lied........

What an awesome interview. Would be a great mentor for youth in NZ, tell them how it is. Thanks Barrie for your honesty.

Dodge is the man …. nice to see the world catching up 😎
Very open. Very revealing. Thanks for this!
Another great podcast Dodge, I loved his honesty with regards the politicians & Iraq.
Dodge - dude. You got a big subscribe from me. I've always watched Diary of a CEO with that Stephen guy. However, he always gets the same kind of folk (which is not bad), health, motivation, relationships, improving finances and lifestyle, researchers etc. You have attacked those same important lifestyle improvements, but have done it tangentially - with kick butt, bad>>> dudes from real life. We can all improve and learn from their experiences. This show was riveting.
You’re a proper gentleman Phil and thanks for the kind words mate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wow this was the easiest hour and a half listen I've ever had 👌
