- THIS IS MY SAFETY, SIR.
This week Richard Ryan wrangled up a couple of Army Rangers - Mat Best and Jariko Denman. Denman has deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq 15 times, and he currently runs War Office Productions, advising filmmakers on all-things tactical. Keep an eye out for the film he worked on most recently, "The Outpost" based on the Battle of Kamdesh, where Staff Sergeant Clinton Romesha and Staff Sergeant Ty Carter were both awarded the Medal of Honor. Needless to say, Jariko has some legit experience under his belt.
We're guessing you already know our buddy, Mat. Since they're both Rangers, we obviously had to hit Black Hawk Down. We also caught Ronin and 3 Kings. What movies should we grab next time around?
If you love Jariko as much as we do, we had him on our podcast:

When Mat was in Ranger Bat his team didnt use flashbangs, he would just step in the door and smile and blind the shit out of everyone
He's a class 4 dental at best

Lol .... clearly not a dipper
Smile and scream. Blind them and make them deaf.

And now both have Navy ships named after them…
@@nwcoastlife thats great
Operations Room youtube channel has a great video with all the details of the blackhawk down incident
I actually had already did the research to find out about those two snipers in Black Hawk Down. Its hard to think they knew they would die but they did it anyway, that bravery on a whole different level.
They received the Medal of Honor posthumasly. Randy Shugart's father was at the ceremony and yelled at Clinton that he wasn't good enough to be president. I don't read a lot of books that are all about battles, but I read,"Band of Brothers" and "Blackhawk Down." Mark Bowden who is a journalist went through months and months of getting through the red tape of the military to get what he needed. Ridley Scott directed it and I thought they did a great job of getting the story told even though like any book made into a movie some things are changed because it won't work on screen. Even doing that they still managed to make a movie that captured what the men and Somalis went through. Mark Bowden went to Somalia a year or two after all of this and told some their stories which I wasn't expecting, but was glad. The one thing several Somalis said was that the Americans all looked like Superman because they're equipment made them look bigger than they were. A lot of different factors went into why that happened and I could tell more, but you probably want me to be quiet anyway, but Mike Durant who pioleted the second chopper that went down and also the one that Shugart and Gordon defended for almost an hour against 100s of Somalis until they ran out of bullets, also wrote a book about his experience and instead of killing Durant who had been moved out of the chopper they took him hostage for about 11 days before letting him go. He had broken his back and a femur in his leg and had to go almost two weeks without anything for pain, but aspirin. Both are good books.
@@l.plantagenet2539 wow I did not know a lot of that. And I enjoyed reading it all and thank you.
I highly doubt you would say the same thing about a german sniper on the Ostfront of world war 2

When I was in the police academy, we had a guy (Army veteran) who was asked by an instructor if his weapon had a safety during inspection. He held up his finger and responded "this is my safety." Everyone (including the instructor) laughed. We were still laughing while he did about 100 pushups.
Bring in a couple of Coast Guard veterans, and review “The Guardian.”
This is for Military Veterans 😉

Obviously, they never worked with the Coast Guard...

Try the Army Reserves, you ever seen someone put a mag in upside down, have someone hit zero targets, and have a few people take 5 iterations just to qualify?....... on the same range day? That's the reserves. (My unit atleast)

I laughed hard, because he’s so right.
Maybe they are because they trained to ride for someone reason for this exact moment
Mat’s teeth are brighter than my future
So shit
I don’t think they actually drink the coffee
Thats from noell sitting on his face, everyday.
They're like that episode of Friends where Ross gets his teeth whitened.
@@22mrranger 😅😅😅🤣🤣🤣🤣 ....that was one of those weird hard on while I'm laughing moments. Awkward
So, for reference. I was in C 3/15th Mechanized Infantry out of Ft Steward. I was in Division ready force when Blackhawk down occurred. We were wandering about at about 10pm at night and told we were on alert but not why. They had us sign in and got the the stock room. A major shows up, tells us that our supported unit has gotten involved in a firefight. We will be loading up on a C5 and flying to their location. This of course sounds like a drill. He then proceeds to tell the infantry platoon that the country has 3 diseases in the air, 5 diseases in the ground and 4 in the water system. So, we are never to lay on the ground or drink the water.
They have us zero our weapons and load up on the C5. We are all looking at each other like we are utterly confused. We still have no clue were we are going. The area in the upper part of the C5 is like an airline, when you load 18 men into they have no clue what to do. About halfway across the Atlantic, someone walks into the area and tells us we will be landing in Rome, refueling and our next stop is Cairo. Our final destination is Mogadishu, Somalia. None of us know what this place is or anything about it. Note: this is all pre-internet.
When we finally land in Somalia. They tell us the firefight has been going on for all 18 hours of our flight. We are to get the two bradleys off the back of the plane and duck them in behind some Conexes to get ammo. We pull off the plane.. and the first thing we see is an E-7 running along in Grey Army shorts and T-shirt for his morning run. The entire airport feels like there is people running all over it but no one seems like there is a fire fight going on. There is a bunch of guys exhausted over to the side but that is about it.
What we find out later is that 10th mountain and the rangers are at the stadium and all of these guys are the supply chain. We supported the Rangers going out looking for the 2 dead rangers and the pilot the following 3 nights. Rangers cannot afford to have two of their numbers missing. They just simply will not allow that to happen.
10 days later, two spectre gunships show up, drop leaflets to not be in Adid's compound that evening on the town. They rain down death for 12 hours throughout the night. The compound is 1 brick high in the morning. I am on guard duty at the airport. 6 somalians drag 2 bodies and 1 stretcher upto the front gate.
I left there 6 months later in March.
Thank you for your service 🎖️
You need to do 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
agree pls do 13 hours
it's a total Hollywood movie. not even worth the time
@@Dunning.Kruger ehh, its a fun movie though
@@Dunning.Kruger Yeah. Lots of bullshit in that one. Its about as realistic and in-depth as a Michael Moore documentary.
OFFICE312 I was listening to Kris Paranto and Mark Geist talk about the movie and they seemed pretty ok with it. They were actively involved with the filming and the movie itself was written off the book. There is some Hollywood leftist apologist type stuff but what would you expect from Hollywood. The part I hated about the movie was the scene attempting to make you feel bad by showing a bunch of women crying over the dead terrorists.
You know, it may have been a minor part of this exchange, but my favorite part was when Mat showed absolute adoration and respect to the medal winners. You just can't represent our military or our country any better than that.
Keep this up guys, the world needs THIS!
The world needs YOU Niel!!

It’s an army thing you wouldn’t understand
Fukin Mercans...that's why!
Because they are real. RLTW
These are true men. RLTMFW
The Outpost was a really good movie. Great job on the realism. It really captured the story in my opinion.
Turned off my Xbox after playing CoD to hear, “turn off call of duty”
You too, huh?
Me too
A much lesser known hero in Mogadishu. Brad halling. He was with Gordon and stutghart. He lost his leg in the battle
Yes he did, but he was able to get around so well on a prosthetic that he was able to return to the unit! Tough as hell
A titan. Has a great Instagram account as well.
@@tl43 That right there's determination alright.
"Hm, you've lost your leg. Perhaps it's time to retire to a civilian career?"
"What, do I look like I'm made of cotton candy? Get me back in there."
I go to college with his son, great dude!
@@tl43 For fucks sake, get the man's name right Sgt, 1st class Randy SHUGHART, and the other sniper was M/Sgt Gary GORDON. Don't toss the names of patriots around like they're garbage. Show some respect..
Gordon and Randy, both received the Medal of Honor. Legends never die.
I wasn’t playing call of duty but I looked up Army Master Sgt. Gordon and Army Sgt. 1st Class Randall Shughart. Most amazing article I’ve ever read about two men who literally chose to gave their lives for their buddies. Thank y’all for your service and thank you to anyone who has, is, or will be serving.
The M9 pistol is a fine sidearm when it's properly cared for. I joined the Army just when we were transferring from the 1911. The 1911 that I shot was a POS. The "floating barrel" was swinging in the wind and hitting the target was considered lucky.
The Berreta was a God's send. After 20+ years of abuse and crappy armorers who aren't gunsmiths. It's not suprising that the M9 gets a bad rap.
My first M9 in '92 ran like a Cadillac.
I was gonna say, the M9 is a beautiful firearm. For it's first few years of development, it underwent troubleshooting like any gun, but now I'd carry an M9 over a SiG or a Glock any time of the day.
That 1911 was made in WWII. It went through WWII, Korea, and Vietnam before it got to you.
Got the Unit memorial Scholarship a few years back. Was awarded to me in memory MSG Gordon. His widow presented me the scholarship with a full biography and personal note as well as dog tags that read “in memory of MSG Gary Gordon”. Knew their story prior to receiving the scholarship, made it very special.
Wow. A lot to live up to, huh? Congratulations.
Kevin Wanovich woww that must’ve been a huge honor
Well fukin aye bud
@@tynryder27 wow that rocks!
Ugh, the moment you said The Outpost being released in March and most of America being in lock down. Read the book! Definitely worth it!
Big oof (this was recorded at SHOT Show) - but it's still going to release and we can't wait to see it!!
The Outpost does a good job telling the complete history of COP Keating. I personally like the book Red Platoon: A True Story of American Valor. It is about the final battle for Keating written by Clint Romesha who received the MOH from that day.
Jeffrey Huerd both are good books but that’s the better of the two
There was a documentary on Netflix called "Medal of Honor" that had two episodes: one about Clint and the other about Ty. It was very interesting and details quite a number of other MOH recipients. Definitely worth checking out.
"It's gonna premiere at SXSW" *announcer voice* "It would not premiere at SXSW"
Would be really interested to see a reaction by you guys to the new Chris Hemsworth movie "Extraction".
The combat in that movie is a thousand times more realistic than most Hollywood stuff. Still beefed up and glitzy, but the CQC had oomph like in Winter Soldier.
@@office3125 one thing. Last part of the movie wtf is the sound coming before the bullet impacts
Do you want to see combat vets have a group brain hemorrhage?
@@office3125 winter soldier is legit. one of the better mcu movies imo
"Oh you think you're funny?"
"Yeah I do. One day Im gonna be a UA-camr and react to Black Hawk Down"
Lmao my sides
“You don’t get hungover from Heroine” lol 😂 love these react videos! Richard keep them coming!
so true though

Craig231990 that’s weird, you defiantly do from morphine.
Heroin bro not heroine. That “E” on the end takes it from an illegal drug to a female hero
You do if you drink a fuckton of whiskey along with the heroin
You guys should react to the whole Generation Kill series
And bring a Marine to that one, because i can so relate to that show, its like my own personal band of brothers
Best take on the modern Marine Corps ever. Every combat arms Marine I ever met (myself included) watches this series and loves it!
I always laugh so hard at Ray and I love how I watch it and every Marine reminds me of someone I served with.
i definitely didnt have my name inspired by anyone... (H-Actual is always taken :(
When I was with II MEF CASEVAC I had a chief in the Navy, switched over from the Army at some point in the late 90's. He will not watch this movie, because he was there. He told us some of the craziest war stories, but would never talk about this.
"Poor man's Owen Wilson."
More like the director's director friend. That's Spike Jonze, son!
He did great, though.
Love this series. Please keep it up!
Do “War Machine” with Brad Pitt, “Overlord”(horror), Aliens (sci-fi), “The Thing” with Kurt Russell, and “Inglorious Bastards”
I think it would be hilarious to see their take on some of the more fictional. Not unlike the “True Events” of real events (non fiction) that they blow out of the water.
I would be interested in knowing what the black rifle company would do during a "the thing" like encounter
The Thing, reaction would be awesome!

LMFAO! That's it, I'm dead....!
One of the few scenes in Black Hawk Down directly from Mark Bowden's book was the "This is my safety" line. It's a direct quote.
I laughed so hard when Jariko did the middle eastern guy impression and find out that it sounds exactly the same.
I’m not gonna lie, I watched The Outpost not too long ago on Netflix, and I cried at the end lmao
That movie really did serve justice for that battle, it was incredible.
I watched that film with a friend who had a very similar experience what was depicted, we had to stop about halfway through
Rip Gary Gordon and Randy Shughart. When I first saw this movie my friends were moved by their sacrifice and enlisted when they got out of high school. This movie played a big part in that.
14:48 “Ya got anything coming down the pipe?”
“Yeah I had some Taco Bell “
🤣🤣🤣
Matt isnt angry thats just straight respect for Shugart and Gordon the some of the most badass men to ever live
They were in Somalia for their brothers, but its easy to misinterpret with your head up your ass so Ill let it slide my dude.
Just watched your UA-cam video and stumbled on your channel. Great stuff, I’m an Army veteran myself, 14 years. I wasn’t high speed like you guys. I was more low key operations. Did more of the training ops side of stuff like NTC FT Irwin etc. You guys rock though and I appreciate your service and what Black Rifle Coffee Company does for veterans. Your coffee is great too, has kept a lot of us third shift law enforcement guys going during those last few hours of a 12 hr shift. I’ll definitely make sure to hit the thumbs up button. Keep doing what you guys do best and I’ll make sure to keep telling people about your coffee.

When you reacted to Black Hawk Down i got really exited because my grandpa helped organize that mission and he told me all the back story to the mission
You need to watch “Heat” especially the scene where they are leaving the bank
13:05
The RI's showed us that scene when I went the Long Range Surveillance Leaders Course in 2000. RLTW class 10-97.
They use that for education purposes in many institutions
@@rottbot3361 they said that but I don't recall watching it, anyone know where it is?
Really? That scene is shit especially since they have their guns on auto the whole time and not semi. Like they wouldn’t run out of ammo the first 20 seconds of the gun fight. Yeah real realistic
How about looking at an old classic, John Wayne "Sands of Iwo Jima", especially some of the bayonet training scenes. Maybe you could also look at the British SAS during the first Gulf War in "Bravo Two Zero".
Sean Bean as a good guy for a change.
It ain't weird to see Sean Bean playing a good guy, but his character surviving would be a fucking novelty
Honestly, what is a ranger going to offer when talking about the SAS?
"That's always a good technique... get some guys on bullhorns speaking the wrong language..." BWAAAAAhahahaa
This was such a great line up.
Mat Best is frantic and funny as usual. But Jariko Denman was so surprisingly deadpan hilarious as well. I could watch a whole series of these two.
Alot of movies and mini series has inspired me to be in the military in general like: The Pacific, Band of Brothers, The Great Raid, Green Berets, Saving Private Ryan, 13 hrs, Tears of The Sun and Black Hawk Down. The movies that inspired me to be a n Army Ranger are: Black Hawk Down and Saving Private Ryan.
With the exception of The Green Berets (we ARE talking John Wayne here right?), EVERY MOVIE you mentioned came out AFTER I had enlisted...
FUCK I'M OLD!

I'm sorry I have not watched more of your videos. A major fan now. Thank you for all of your support for veterans.
Favorite line from Three Kings:
"...Are we shooting?!?"
Yall gotta do these more often, they are the best!
These videos are THE BEST. The BRCC ads are already funny but the "veterans react to" videos are hilarious. :D
6:03 I remember as a kid seeing in the news how these two heroes were dragged and it made a big impression on me. As an adult, after seeing and reading about these two brave soldiers, I decided to name my future boys after them. My only son is 6 and he’s named after Garry Gordon. If he ever asks, he’ll know he’s named after a hero.
First time I've seen one of these videos love it keep up the good work
9:45 The oldest M9s were only in service for about 5-6 years by Desert Storm. They weren't yet the beat-to-shit complete jam-o-matics that Mat would have used over a decade later.
We had brand new M9s in Batt. They still sucked. We got Glocks a few years later.
@@BrianT175 Not a fan of either Handgun, but they both are better then the old Smith and Wesson Combat 38 revolver.
I think my favorite more recent Military Movie have been *ACT of VALOR* .....
.
I'm former *82nd Airborne 2/505th* and even though it's an older movie and one of the greats by the way, *The Longest Day* ... I hate watching the scene where the *505th* come down right on top of the German's in Sainte Mere Eglise .. I tear up every time I see it..
My father was part of task force ranger and operation restore the hope, or operation restore the peace. I was three years old when we dropped my dad off at what looked like a hanger I walked with my dad to his locker with my sister and mother where we said our goodbyes, my dad made it home but many did not. These brave men gave everything they had. Thank you for your service gentleman.
I just discovered this channel yesterday and I've been binge watching your vids! And if you just focus on a specific movie per episode that would be great!
"This is always a good technique just hold up a piece of paper, get some guys on the bullhorn speaking the wrong language" I lost it at this one 🤣
Just to prove a point I bought a commercial M9. Ran it to 3000 rounds of crappy ammo before it slowed down and had a ftf from carbon in the grease.
It gets a bad wrap because they aren't taken care of, and have 10-20k rounds through them.
You guys are great my Friend Hoot said that really didn't capture it Thank you for all you do much Respect
Hey Matt, sorry bout those test fires.
Great episode gentlemen. Good stuff.
Everyone is great like normal but Jariko is hysterical! I love his deadpan reactions.
They shoved “Hooah” in as much as possible cause they realized the marines got the market on good motto sayings
The only place you heard Hooah used like a language was during Basic/AIT. Once you were assigned to an Infantry Brigade that shit was only used sarcastically.
Unless it was a fucking POG.

You should react to the early 90s television series "Thunder in Paradise" with Hulk Hogan. It was about two ex-Navy SEALS based in and around Florida/Caribbean taking on criminals/pirates and drug lords with there fully kitted out futuristic speed boat. The Boat somehow looked a lot bigger inside than it did from the outside.
It would be great to see its accuracy.
In the television movie, Hulk Hogan had an eye patch but in the tv series, he must have lost it so went without.
Fabulous series.
I haven’t thought about that show in years lol
“It’s premiering at SXSW”
Ouch, that didn’t age well
I never served in the military but many of my family members have including my dad. He was a marine and was 0311. He was part of the operation restore hope and served in Mogadishu Somalia. He was one of the infantry men down there in the streets when the black hawk went down and it really blows my mind
I love the line in a recruitment videofor our military here in Sweden the announcer going " I can't give you my cool american voice" but i can give you a good education and training"

There are write ups on the MOH recipients for their acts in Signal Hall down every wall. Every class break you go to the hallway you left off, read, take one step to your left or right and read the next. By years end you had read them all. Mad respect, crazy stories. And you knew you were just Signal Corp.
"It's crazy how all these Iraqis speak English" not really. Back in those days Iraq had modern infrastructure and some schools taught English. A lot of middle east people from Iraq/Syria/Iran had gone to University in Egypt specifically to take English.
