Becoming a covert CIA operative to save enough money to open a Jimmy John’s is both the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard and the most American thing I’ve ever heard

Blackwater:  So why are you here?  Shawn:  I just want to open a jimmy johns

The new American dream is to military contract in a foreign country to afford a fast food franchise

I like to picture Shawn Ryan going through all these crazy military contracts and then fast forward to him asking what type of bread the customer would like on their sandwich

I remember Shawn's channel from like 6 years ago back when he could barely crack a smile and had so much internal turmoil. So cool to see the light back in his eye.

tucker's audio is excellent. sound guy needs a raise.

The delivery of "there wasnt enough combat" was stone cold. Tuckers reaponse of "really?" Was perfect for that moment.

Tucker's shocked pause when Shawn said there wasn't enough combat, was priceless! I was audibly LMAO!

NUTS- for all the insanity Shawn has been through he still has kind eyes which is EXTREMELY rare for anyone of that caliber to possess.

“Wasn’t enough combat” - you were blessed

Shawn’s side quest to open a Jimmy John’s is insane! 😅

Honesty.  What a concept.

I think Shawn is one of the most REAL podcasters I've ever listened to. Just so no BS.

Shout out from St. Louis!! We’re proud of you and thank you for your service!!

Bank of America security guards!!!😂😂😂💀

Shawn has that 1000 yard stare but it's the death by powerpoint kind of 1000 yard stare

10:41 I could listen to this shit all day long man! These type of stories are so rad

I get it brother. We train, and train, and train, and train, but some never see combat. It's a blessing and a curse.
