This episode of The Shawn Ryan Show I sit down with former SEAL TEAM 6/DEVGRU Operator DJ Shipley. Shipley has 17 years serving the United States at the highest level as a Navy SEAL Tier 1 operator. He joined the Navy at the age of 17 worked his way into the SEAL Teams and eventually to Development Group. Shipley gives us the most descriptive and detailed first hand combat account interview I have ever done. His service goes unmatched.
Shipley is also the founder of @GBRSGroup a tactical training group that only employs Tier 1 Operators and the founder of @TRIBESK8Z a company that makes one of a kind skate boards that are works of art, and employs only Gold Star family members (The title, which is reserved for families of military members who have died in the line of duty).
Enjoy the show.

  • I just want to say Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. We are living in some weird times right now, but we all still have a lot to be thankful for. Thank you everyone for all of your support, it truly means the world to me. Please enjoy the show and “God Bless America”.
  • @alexf7956
    I really appreciate Shawn's ability to not interrupt his guest repeatedly. Rare talent of a Podcaster
  • @dylanm3593
    I feel like this guy just showed me his heart. Everything was raw as hell with no sugarcoating. So much respect for doing this. I can’t believe I got to watch this for free.
  • @derekgee4745
    I met DJ in Atlanta airport and told him how much this interview saved my life. He was super humble. Why i watch this show.
  • @556bc
    "I used to run around with the charges already capped in." As a former EOD tech, my mouth opened in a "you did what?!"
  • @HamSandwiches56
    Can we all stop and appreciate how good of a storyteller DJ is?
  • @justsaiyan8678
    To be completely honest, this is the single most genuine expression of reality I’ve ever seen on any social media platform.
  • @deangtrs
    This is one of the best interviews I’ve watched. I never thought I’d want a 4 and half hour interview to be longer.
  • @deidog1160
    This man bared his soul to tell let others know they are not alone here. Truly amazing conversation.
  • @htam07
    His wife is nothing short of a fucking legend. I cant help think as much as he went through she dealt with it as well plus raised a family. She needs her own episode of her side of it
  • I'm a wounded vet (below knee amputee) who was shot and almost died because of it. Participating in almost 10-years of therapy didn't do nearly as much as the last 15-20 minutes of this video. Thank you for this.
  • I just watched 5 episodes every night for the past five nights. I am hooked. Discharged Army Infantry (11B) here and I thought what I went through was rough…I cannot believe what these guys go through. This is the best show I’ve ever seen.
  • @matthewwest8187
    I've watched this interview at least twice in it's entirety; and dozens of times in segments. What an amazing story of chasing your dreams, heroism and vividly describing his own struggles. He brought a true humanity to these operators. It's impossible to imagine what DJ went through, and ultimately everyone who served and was effected by war
  • @adr5075
    This is fucking priceless. This isn't an interview with an SF operator, this a self help video. Worth his weight in gold to the human race is DJ Shipley. Props to Shawn for giving DJ the space he needed to get this out. Both of them true warriors.
  • @tcs313
    Based on this quality, SRS HAS TO BE the first to get Christian Craighead for a sit down. No other will hit the mark and capture the intensity like SRS. This was the best one yet. Unreal.
  • It takes a real, mature man to give an interview like DJ does here. Shawn did another outstanding job of not interfering with his guests story and injecting his own stories and bs, which is what makes Shawn the absolute best interviewer.
  • @scottstewart6162
    This is the most amazing interview of any military veteran I have seen. Holy shit. This guys story is one that needs to be everywhere. His story may be a Seal story, but it resonates on many levels with veterans at every level. The commitment to the job, the injuries, the depression, the suicidal ideologies, the continued depression. It just resonates in so many ways with so many veterans I know. He went deep. There's so much to unpack here. This is truly just a special story.
  • @JasonRedmanww
    Absolutely amazing interview Shawn. One of the rawest, bravest, most courageous I’ve seen. I love DJ for fighting to save my life that fateful night in Iraq. But I love him even more because this interview will save lives. Too many men think being a bad ass means you have to be a dick. The most badass people I know are also the most humble and DJ showed that in this interview. SO much respect for him. Even more respect for Patsy. She is a bigger warrior than most warriors I know. If you are just reading the comments and wondering if you should watch this, do it now. It will be the best investment in 4 hours you will ever make. Shawn. Well done. LLTB 🔱
  • @johnmclain1982
    The balls and the guts on this guy to completely pour out his heart is amazing and a true testament to all the warriors that even the elite of the elite are still human
  • @Erinknapp1975
    Patsy you’re a true hero ! Thank you for your service and unwavering determination.
