I never learnt how to read growing up and it wasn’t until I found myself in prison in a desperate state of mind I learnt how to read. The One That Got Away was the book that helped me the most with my reading and state of mind. Respect ✊

Well done TCA. My experience with prison is those who are illiterate tend to do nothing about it. Reading is one of the pure joys in life, painting the scene in your mind, laughing out loud on the bus, being upset when a great character suffers. The English language has a word to describe everything, often more than one. You might like an author called John Sandford. He has a character called Lucas Davenport who features in over twenty novels. Excellent author, strong characters and great action.

What a pleasure to hear two intelligent ex-soldiers conversing. There have been a few times when I have been struggling on an endurance event or long bike ride when I have recalled Chris`s long march and have dug deeper. An inspirational guy.

Best podcast I've seen in some time. Absolute balls of British steel. Thanks to Mr. Ryan for sharing his story, and thanks to Mr. Carr for giving him the platform and letting him paint the word-pictures of his ordeal without unnecessary interruptions and questions. Huge thanks to both of you warrior poets for your service to the rest of us both on and off the battlefield.

Did you ever look up what his SAS colleagues say about his book and this particular mission Bravo 2 Zero. Same as his colleague Andy McNab. Both are extremely lucky that the SAS does NOT comment of any of their missions, but to know what his mates think of him is very humbling. Basically they think that as far as his books on the missions he did while the SAS are full of BS. But good on him; he's sold millions of his books to gullible people.

That’s because he was critical of McNab, as he was in this podcast.

Love these podcasts hats off for getting lots of Brits on 🇬🇧

Chris Ryan at his peak was probably the most competent soldier in the world. An absolute machine. I have seen him participating in the toughest training regimes among elite Special Forces units around the world and he usually came top of the class for any exercise: local commanders were astonished that this foreigner could just turn up and out-compete their own soldiers. A legend. Attributed to George Orwell: "People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.". Thankyou Chris Ryan

Had the pleasure of meeting Chris at RAF Hereford in ‘96, I was there playing enemy for SAS training for a couple of days, although he had left the Regiment by that point he was there as training staff. Being so close to the gulf war we were a little star struck, I’d only been in the army 3 or 4 months and there I was working with Legends.

My dad bought Andy’s and Chris’s books, I read them both a few times over, my dad died in 1995 and reading those books brought him back, hanging on every page late into the night. Thanks for this interview Dad would have watched your channel. I subbed, stay free, we are counting on you and people like you to save us right now.

Chris Ryan, British Special Forces soldier, warrior and badass legend, the Strike Back Series is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

So irritating when the interviewer would interrupt Chris Ryan with irrelevant questions. I just wanted to hear Chris Ryan talking about his escape but the interviewer kept interrupting and talking over Chris. If only he would just shut up and let Chris speak without interrupting!

That was the first live action scowl I've ever seen on Jack. 1:08:30 When Ryan talked about the Syrians playing a joke. That look was a glimpse of that caged monster. Every other moment he has a smile on his face. With regard to Mr. Ryan ... what a story. Thank you again Jack for bringing great stories to the world.

Usually I just skim through this type of interview but I couldn’t stop watching this. Amazing story.

I've watched quite a few interviews with Chris and this is probably the best one to date. You know when to be quiet and listen and when to push for more info. Great interview technique.

Amazon series on this guy’s experiences will be a hit

Met Mr Ryan in 99, at one of those book talks, makes me smile to see how well he's done in life :) a gentlemen for staying on so long , Thank you for the interview.

Was on the edge of my office chair and getting little work done listening to his escape and evasion! What a story and so well delivered to us the viewers!

I met chris when i was in my early teens, one of the reasons i stuck it out for a bit in army cadets, awesome guy

Amazing. The SAS are just astounding.

Great chat with Chris Ryan. What a top bloke.

This is great, I read The One That Got Away, eye opening to the stuff that was going on over there, and I watched his short series "Catching Chris Ryan" where he showed what a single special forces soldier insertion could be capable of doing and then attempt to evade and extract in several different environments.

This podcast is exactly like a book you just can't put down..apsouloutly brilliant.

Jack it is so awesome how you interview these living legends. Young men really need to hear from these men and learn how these men came to the understanding the world and the values they have developed in through their experiences. Men learn to be great men by learning how great men understand and operate in the real world. Thank you for this podcast.

The Kardashians, kneeling sports zeroes, as well as those praised for bravery for changing genders gets media coverage and worshipped by the masses when real heroes like Chris Ryan walk the earth? This guy should never have to buy a steak or a beer in his life. This was absolutely great and humbling.

Awesome podcast, I have read most of Chris Ryan’s books and simply loved hearing his accounts firsthand.

2 tier 1 operators now both amazing authors 👏🏻that shows the whole life attitude 👏🏻 ur both top draw but still the common touch nowadays 👏🏻👏🏻

An incredible interview with an incredible man with a truly amazing and powerful story.

Jack, I'm so grateful for your desire to teach and share. All I know of what you've done has been of great value. All the best. Stay safe?

Great approach to your interviews. You've got a great way with your guests. Your personality fits really well with the English SF guys. I guess no matter UK or US, you all have similar traits. Humble but confident

This was fantastic!! Chris has such a positive personality and a great story teller! One of the best interviews I’ve seen for ages! 🇬🇧

Wow I’ve talked to many of my veteran brothers and watched many podcasts and this might be the craziest most badass story I’ve ever heard!! Wow I was just in awe listening to his story!! Amazing and never quit!

This man is amazing! I love listening to past military member's stories! You learn sooooo much and hopefully are able to apply to current jobs. It never ceases to amaze how many "superiors" don't want to help out those on the ground!!! Keep up the great work!

Amazing podcast Jack-a real hell of a chat. Hats off to Chris Ryan.

Excellent video, it's amazing listening to the legend Chris Ryan. He's an incredible hero.

Really enjoyed this an amazing story and a good interviewer drawing out the story. Two amazing guys with a lot of hard earned experience and very little conceit. In these strange and unpredictable times it's good to know we have people like these two watching our backs. As I am also from the North East of England good to hear that Geordie humour and warmth respect to both you guys, the special relationship in a nutshell 🇬🇧🇺🇸.

What a brave and humble man, total respect

Absolutely loved this. I was hooked all the way through.

This was awesome. First time I've watched your podcast Jack. You're a very good interviewer.

Excellent interview. I've read a few of Chris Ryan's novels, and watched the Strikeback series. Will need to buy more of his and your books, so thankyou for getting him on your podcast. Two of my favorite hard cover books I read as a young teenager, was the Combat / Survival books by Len Cacutt (editor), which I assume is the accumulation of information from the Combat and Survival magazines, but split into 2 separate books. Learnt some great stuff on bushcraft survival that I still use to this day.

Great podcast!! Keep up the good work!

Absolutley brilliant interview.... Chris Ryan reminds me of Tolkein's Gandalf... such wisdom on life.

What a brilliant interview.

What a fantastic pod cast. Awesome story

Brilliant interview

This is the first time listening to your podcast. I just finished listening to all 4 of your books and can’t wait for the Amazon series to come out next year and even more so for your next book! I’m especially looking forward to listening to more of your podcasts. The story on this one is amazing and I see how you having conversations with people like this can support in fueling your creative mind to take a lot of truth and actual life experiences of yourself and others to make some of the best books and characters with such amazing details that really makes your writing stand out above and beyond most books I’ve read or listened too. Keep it up! You are fucking awesome! I discovered you on rogan and will forever be a life long fan! I got through all 4 novels in 3 weeks on audio and am listening them again with my wife but on a much slower pace with her :)

Can you imagine going thru this . This is such a insane story and this dude is a hero

I was 14 when i first read The one that got away and that was the start of following Chris's career in books, some fantastic reads and great series. Now Jack Carr is doing a similar thing and as great a story teller.

Another great episode Brohominus! Chris is a great story teller!

realy nice to hear this story from a primary source ive watched 3 documentrys on this story and this was brilliant to hear up the boro

Chris Ryan is a great guy. He doesn't mess about in criticising when it is due. Should get Colin Mclaughlan on Jack. Another SAS hero.

This guy is a living legend
