During his last deployment to Afghanistan, Jones was responsible for disarming and destroying more than 80 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and thousands of pounds of other unknown bulk explosives. It was during that tour he stepped on an IED, resulting in the loss of both of his legs above the knee and severe damage to his right forearm and both wrists.

Joeys the man, thanks for coming through bro
The best one I’ve seen yet. I have followed Joey and really think he’s such an inspiration. Thanks for putting him on. Absolute American HERO 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🙏🙏
Cannot wait for this podcast to blow up. Love how personal mark is with his interviews and amazing ability to cut tension.
Thanks for being part of the ride
You could have said take off instead of blow up
2x OEF 100% Disabled Combat Veteran here….
Words can’t ever express what WAR is truly like 😔
Salute to ALL fallen Soldiers and any victims and casualties of warfare still with us 🫡 🇺🇸
I hope he hearts your comment, sir. I do not know what is like because I've never fought one. I tried to enlist in 2003 because I _wanted_ to go to Afghanistan but I wasn't going to pass the physical. I competed in Tae Kwon Do and blew my knees to the point that they're actually curved from all the snap style kicks you throw in competition and training but are useless in a street fight. The Army Doctors said there was no way my knees would've held up out there they said. It broke my heart but now looking back it was for the best. I knew I was tough but I also knew and understood that I wasn't ten feet tall and bulletproof. I had a few friends who thought they were and sadly they had early ends to their lives. Sorry for the long comment. Thank you for your service. I'm not from the U.S. but I think you guys are pretty cool.
Stay Awesome and Frosty my Friend.
How you protect america by going to place who citizen dont even know what america is
One of the best podcast episodes. Im a vet and his way to put into words what I cant is amazing.
He hit it spot on about veterans not able to keep a job because of a lack of a mission and lack of community. I’ve experienced it twice. I think I’m now in a place where I’ve refound my purpose. I didn’t realize others were going through the same process
Seriously has become my favorite pod...awesome content thank you
Dude this guy is the man..😢
Thank you for your sacrifice sir. You’re an amazing person.
Great questions, great conversation. 👍🏻
Love the content dude, rapidly becoming one of the best interview podcasts on the internet
Great interview guys.
Great work once again mark
Mark i want to personally thank you from the bottom of my heart. My father is going through some bad stuff with his kidneys he will probably not make it. I have been deeply depressed for the past couple of months because of it and when i watch your podcast and the guests you bring on i forget all my problems for couple of hours. Thank you so much and greetings from iraq ❤️
Thank you for sharing. Hoping he recovers. 🤞🏼
Gagnon, you're doing the damn thing my friend!!! Right at the top man, keep it coming and I'll be here for every one.
🤞🏼
I am very glad you are entertaining your thirst for knowledge with respect and integrity. There are many people on multiple platforms that are already established that can not perform with your level of authenticity. I hope these conversations change you, I hope they sharpen your perception to where you can definitively acknowledge when something is complete b.s. as you hear it so that you can better challenge us, the viewers, along with your peers. Love seeing you on Flagrant and I absolutely love the lane you are carving for yourself. Joe Rogan can't do his podcast forever that's reality, and i think you are well on your way of being a solid contender to occupy that space whenever the time comes. Mark bless you Bubba ❤
Thank you, I hope you enjoy them too
Such an Inspirational Story by a Truly Amazing Human Being. Stay Forever Blessed 🙏 .
Saw you kill at Andrew’s show in Toronto, been rocking with the pod from the beginning, keep going man. Amazing shit.
Another absolute banger! Sharing this, trying to get you to a mil subs. Would be deserved.
GREAT AMERICAN HERO! , Thank you Joey for your service & Mark for this amazing episode!
Glad I joined the camp on IG. Came straight here as soon as I got the notification. Thank you Mark GAGGY (Flagrant inside joke) hahaha
Your comment instantly made me think of
"GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY GIGGITY"
😂 DUNNO WHY

Who is funnier Me or Joe Rogan
Been binging the podcast episodes for a couple of days now and i gotta say u a topnotch interviewer Mark!
You ask the things i would ask those wonderfull beautifull guests i get to know through you. And i live in a country far from the US. Thank you
Nice, I'm glad you enjoy the show
Skipped to the 28min mark, 2min in and dialed in! Might rewind lol 🔥
I also want to say while I'm outside at my bar, playing this podcast has got 6 people to stop talking and start periodically listening with full attention. 😂 Mark, you've got "the thing" 😊
Very intriguing
Im glad you liked the convo
This is an amazing watch. I cannot share it out enough. when you said y’all were trying to say the Lord‘s Prayer and ended up, saying the Pledge of Allegiance. ❤️ I didn’t know the Lords Prayer either but because of this, I have learned the Lord’s Prayer. 🇺🇸
“How did you propose” I fucking lost it 😂
Hight....thats a good question
Clicked on this by accident. So glad I did.
Thank you bro
Please get Lord Miles on your podcast. He was a T~ban captive and has an interesting story.
Your videos are amazing. I really like it. I am a new subscriber to your channel. Can I talk with you Gagnon?
MARK LOOKS LIKE JESUS.... LIKE SERIOUSLY. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MAN😂
IM SO STOKED TO WATCH THIS. THIS GUY IS FRIGGEN AMAZING. I FEEL SORROW FOR OUR SOLDIERS. AS A MILITARY KID FROM A LARGE MILITARY FAMILY... YOU CANT IMAGINE THE TOLL IT TAKES ON EVERYONE.
MY MOM WAS IN THE GULF WAR AND SHE HAD TO GO OUT AND TEST THE SCUDS LAUNCHED BY SADAAM HUSSEIN. HER ORGANS ARE BAD AND BASICALLY SLOWLY DISSOLVING... VERY VERY SAD WHAT THEY HAVE TO ENDURE. AND FOR WHAT?
THANKS MARK FOR GIVING HIM A PLATFORM... I KNOW THIS WILL BE AMAZING❤ 🇺🇸

So what's the most unbiased option? Fuck the love for the channel, forget the guest, forget the comments. Just a real thought without the keyboard mentality. UA-cam comments these days are so fake.
Dumb questions

First
😂
No question, no thoughtful comment, that's it?
